Chapter 5 Tea is okay, don’t be too obvious
As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere became eerily quiet, and Gu Changnian’s face became ugly.
Xu Gaizhi crooked the disciple with his elbow and said with a smile, "Junior sister Chi Yu is right. Let's rest on the spot tonight."
Seeing the Tianxuan Mountain disciples who dared to be angry but dared not speak, Gu Changnian sighed with difficulty and said, "I'll go ask Master for instructions."
Gu Changnian had always known that there were rumors about him and his master, and that He Qing did have evil intentions towards him.
Having said that, even if Xu Gaizhi helps him turn things around, if he really doesn't go, it will once again confirm the suspicions of outsiders.
So in desperation, Gu Changnian took the initiative to come to He Qing as if he had a dozen weights on his feet.
Under the tree, Lu Li, the new junior fellow apprentice, was leaning cross-legged on the root of the tree, playing with He Qing's fly whisk. When he saw Gu Changnian coming over, he tilted his head and smiled in a friendly manner.
Gu Changnian caught a glimpse of the fly whisk in his hand, and his eyes moved slightly——
This whisk is He Qing's magic weapon, named "Yiying", and it never leaves his body.
Now, he is using it as a plaything for Lu Li?
Gu Changnian calmed down, clasped his hands and was about to salute He Qing.
As soon as he opened his mouth and no words came out, Lu Li said, "Master is meditating, are you okay?"
He smiled gently, his eyes were sincere, and his tone was soft, but somehow, when Gu Changnian heard these words, he had the illusion that Lu Li regarded him as an outsider.
Gu Changnian stopped talking and looked up at He Qing on the tree.
In the past few days, whenever he was resting in the wild, He Qing was determined not to stay on the ground, but would always find a high place to sit.
She had never had this habit before.
What makes Gu Changnian even more surprised is that no matter He Qing is meditating or has entered samadhi, He Qing can immediately sense him as long as he is close.
But now he has been standing for a while, and He Qing still doesn't respond.
Is it intentional? Gu Changnian thought.
Lu Li looked at him with a smile and said, "If you have something to do, you can tell me first, and I will tell it to Master later."
For the first time, Gu Changnian looked at Lu Li seriously.
No matter how you looked at it, Lu Li didn't have any ill intentions, but what he said made Gu Changnian feel extremely uncomfortable, and he couldn't help but feel a little rebellious.
Gu Changnian said: "Junior brother has only been here for half a month. Although his skills have not improved, his relationship with the master has become increasingly close."
After hearing this, Lu Li chuckled and hugged Whisk: "Yeah, I'm not very talented and I can't learn. Fortunately, Master doesn't dislike me and guides me carefully."
"..." Gu Changnian frowned slightly: Is this kid showing off to him?
Lu Li looked at Gu Changnian's obviously displeased expression, and the smile on his face deepened.
He stood up unhurriedly, raised his head and called to He Qing on the tree: "Master, senior brother seems to have something very important to say, and even I can't tell you."
Soon, He Qing lazily responded from the tree: "Yes."
When Gu Changnian came over, He Qing already knew about it. He "sat on the tree and watched" for a long time and ate delicious melons.
He Qing thought to himself: This young man can do it. The tea is a little too teay, but it is very much in line with her wishes.
After all, she just wanted Gu Changnian to understand that she had no such thoughts towards him now. Lu Li's interference in this way unexpectedly became an assist.
He Qing didn't even look at Gu Changnian, and looked at the sky with half-squinted eyes: "What's the matter?"
Gu Changnian shook off the annoyance in his mind, cupped his hands and said, "Master, it's late at night. The disciples of Tianxuan Mountain found a village ahead. If you want to go to rest, please ask Master for instructions." After hearing this, He Qing gave up without thinking. Waving his hand: "You go first, I will come later."
"..." Gu Changnian hesitated for a moment.
He was already prepared that He Qing would seize the opportunity to argue with him, but he didn't want to get an answer so easily, which actually made him feel like he was neither above nor below.
After walking far away, Gu Changnian looked back unconsciously and saw Lu Li looking up and smiling and saying something to He Qing.
He Qing, who was on the tree, tilted his head slightly and listened calmly. The relationship between master and apprentice seemed normal.
But Gu Changnian could clearly see that there was a slight smile in He Qing's eyes.
He had never seen this kind of smiling eyes without any dirty thoughts on He Qing before...
Inexplicably, Gu Changnian's heart felt clogged and he felt short of breath.
※
Seeing the team walking away, He Qing sighed helplessly——
In the end, she didn't go back to the mountain first because Gu Changnian's attitude was too determined.
In order not to become a stumbling block to the relationship development of the male and female protagonists again, He Qing could only wait for Gu Changnian and the other injured Tianxuan Mountain disciples to recover from their injuries before setting off together.
He Qing knew that there would be twists and turns on the way back to the mountain, and it was during this period that the relationship between the male and female protagonists developed by leaps and bounds.
But even though she put her "matter aside" and gave Gu Changnian and Hua Chiyu enough space to get along with each other, they still couldn't escape from this village.
This copy was quite difficult for these young Immortal Sect disciples, resulting in heavy casualties.
Also because their lives hang on a thread, Gu Changnian and Huachi Yuhui make a promise to each other to live and die together.
At such an important node, if He Qing was present, how could it continue?
So many Immortal Sect disciples were killed in front of her. If she still didn't take action, she might not even have to wait for Gu Changnian to become a big boss to trouble her, and other major Immortal Sects would come to attack her.
After much thought, He Qing could only let them take the first step, and no matter how slowly he could go over to save people.
Lu Li raised his head under the tree and stared at He Qing. Seeing that she didn't know what she was thinking, her face was cloudy and clear at one time or another, so he asked: "Master, don't you want to go to the village?"
He Qing came back to his senses, lowered his head and looked at Lu Li under the tree, and sighed for a moment: Should I say it or not, this young man's skills in observing words and emotions are really full of points.
He Qing did not answer, only said meekly: "You always target him, be careful of retaliation in the future."
In the novel, all the soft-hearted plots are given to Hua Chiyu, and the part where revenge is necessary is given to Gu Changnian.
Although He Qing didn't dislike the smell of tea in Lu Li's tea, it was hard for him to be hated by Gu Changnian.
However, Lu Li listened, just as she felt sorry for her beloved disciple, stroking Yiying's tail and said softly: "Master doesn't like him, so I don't like him either."
What surprised Lu Li was that He Qing did not refute this, but instead said in deep thought: "We still need to maintain a good relationship on the surface, and don't make it too obvious. After I bring back a few junior sisters and junior brothers, he won't be important." ”
"..." Lu Li was slightly startled when he heard this——
Is she going to take on another disciple?
After breaking the rules of the Yaoguang sect since its inception, she actually wants to accept another disciple?
Isn’t accepting a disciple a way for her to stimulate Gu Changnian?
Lu Li was full of doubts, but he didn't show it on his face. He just said obediently: "I will do whatever the master says."
