Chapter 28 No one is reliable
In the end, Yue Qingru still failed to get a whisk as she wished. For this reason, she stayed in the room feeling uncomfortable for a long time, which lasted for half an hour.
"Master..." She lowered her head and found He Qing who was reading in the study. She raised her right hand bitterly: "I don't want this magical weapon."
When He Qing raised his head and saw her like that, he wanted to laugh. He tightened his lips to hold it back, cleared his throat and said, "Why? This magical weapon suits you very well."
"A good match?!"
Yueqing shook the crystal clear bracelet hanging on her wrist as if she was about to cry. It turned into a steel claw with a long blade with three blades. The blade covered the back of her right hand. The tip of the knife is long and cold, slightly buckled inwards, like a wolverine possessing it.
"Pfft--" He Qing finally couldn't hold it back and covered his mouth and turned his head away.
Yue Qingru looked up to the sky and roared when he saw this, and rushed over to hug He Qing and act coquettishly: "Ah - Master, you are laughing at me!" But as soon as he got closer, the steel claw almost poked He Qing in the face, and Yue Qingru was frightened again. He shook his hand vigorously and wanted to take it back.
However, since she was not very good at controlling her magic weapon, she couldn't change its form for a while, couldn't take it off, and was so anxious that she was sweating profusely.
He Qing laughed so much that his stomach ached, and joked: "Do you have wolf blood in the first place? Look how good it is now. Even if you are a half-demon, you can have wolf claws."
Yue Qingru pursed her lips in grievance: "Master, why are you like this! If you laugh again, I won't let you pinch my ears!"
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I don't laugh anymore, I don't laugh anymore." He Qing quickly closed his mouth, but he was still laughing.
The master and apprentice were playing around, and the light at the door dimmed. He Qing turned his head and saw Gu Changnian coming over with a bunch of accompanying books.
Gu Changnian was startled when he saw He Qing laughing so hard that he lost his composure. But after seeing He Qing looking at him, he immediately put away his playful attitude with Yue Qingru and returned to normal. Gu Changnian couldn't help but look at him. dark.
He walked into the study room and said respectfully: "Master, in the past two days, I have compiled the results of the assessment of junior disciples in the past into a book. I would like to ask Master to review it."
He Qing slightly raised his eyebrows in surprise——
That day, He Qing invited Hua Chi Yu because he wanted to give Gu Changnian a chance to fall in love, so that he would not have to think about how to kill his master all day long. Unexpectedly, after hearing this, Gu Changnian actually took the initiative to help the two of them. Junior brothers and sisters prepared review materials.
If Gu Changnian hadn't firmly wanted to kill his master, to be fair and impartial, Gu Changnian would have been the most worry-free among the three apprentices.
Thinking of this, He Qing showed a slightly friendly smile: "You are interested, let me see."
"Yes." Hearing He Qing say that he wanted to watch it now, Gu Changnian felt as if a drop of honey had been dropped into his heart, making it faintly sweet.
He Qing carefully moved the spell book on the table that was almost in pieces and looked through the accompanying books compiled by Gu Changnian.
Gu Changnian stood quietly in front of the desk, his eyes unconsciously falling on He Qing's face. Anyone else would feel comfortable if the things they carefully organized were taken seriously, right?
Keke Qingru was not very happy. It was rare that Lu Li, the troublemaker, didn't pester the master, allowing her and the master to have some alone time together, but this Gu Changnian came out to disturb her again.
Yue Qingru was about to say something unpleasant to drive him away, but then she thought about what He Qing had said before, that Gu Changnian had two magic weapons. He suddenly rolled his eyes and started planning from his heart.
"Ahem," Yue Qingru coughed artificially, which attracted Gu Changnian's sideways glance. She bared her teeth and said with a smile, "Senior brother~"
"..." This was the first time Yue Qingru called him senior brother, and he did so flatteringly.
Gu Changnian was stunned by Yue Qingru's amber eyes, and glanced at He Qing subconsciously. However, He Qing seemed to be concentrating on reading the book. Gu Changnian lowered his voice and said, "What's the matter?"
Yue Qingru chuckled and said, "Senior brother, Master said last time that you had a whisk, but you didn't use it anymore?"
Mentioning the whisk again, Gu Changnian's face was obviously uncomfortable. He glanced at He Qing again and asked, "What do you want to say?"
Yue Qing jumped up to Gu Changnian, just like a little junior sister. She stood on tiptoes and approached him to please him: "Then, senior brother, can you give me that whisk?"
Gu Changnian frowned and refused without thinking: "No, this magic weapon is connected to my spiritual energy. It cannot be given away easily, and it is not easy for you to hold it."
Yue Qingru pursed his lips again: "Stingy, anyway, you don't want to use the same magic weapon as Master. Instead of collecting dust, why not give it to me. Master and I have the same mind, maybe we can do a good job."
Gu Changnian hesitated to speak, wanting to say that he had never let the magic weapon become dusty, but he was worried that trying to explain it would arouse He Qing's strange thoughts again, and he was speechless for a moment.
The sound of pages turning slowly sounded in his ears. He Qing, who seemed to have been paying no attention to Gu Changnian and Yue Qingru, buried his head in the book and said softly: "Qingru, stop making trouble."
Yue Qing's intuition was so sharp that he immediately sensed that his master was unhappy and quickly sat back down beside He Qing.
He Qing took a deep breath, looked up at Gu Changnian with a smile and said, "I have roughly looked at it and you have compiled it in very detail. From the Five Elements to Qimen Dunjia, you have recorded it. Thank you for your hard work."
Gu Changnian secretly observed He Qing and saw that she didn't seem to care at all about what Yue Qingru said just now. While he was relieved, the sweetness in his heart before was gone.
Gu Changnian suddenly felt a little unclear about his own thoughts. He seemed to hope that the master would ask more questions so that he could explain how to deal with the whisk...
"jingle."
"Jingle bell."
A burst of ethereal and melodious ringtones came slowly, from far to near, as if slowly falling from the distant sky, and as if coming from a deep valley, causing the three masters and apprentices in the study to look towards the door in unison.
As the ringing gradually approached, Lu Li appeared at the door within a short while. The hem of his clothes swayed slightly, and the soft lingering sound of the gilt palace bell on his waist was still flowing.
Lu Li ran into the sight of the three people in the room. He couldn't help but raise his eyebrows and smiled at He Qing: "What's wrong? Master."
He Qing, who was struck by the beauty for a moment, looked away with a guilty conscience.
When she saw Lu Li, Yue Qingru, who had been arguing that her magic weapon was not good just now, immediately regained her balance and muttered with displeasure: "Finally, there is another person who is worthless but useless at the bottom."
Lu Li heard it, but pretended not to hear it, smiled, walked behind He Qing as if no one else was around, lazily rested his chin on her shoulder, and said vaguely: "Master, I'm so tired from practicing. I want to I want Master to help me calm down."
He Qing: "..." Here we go again, right? Are you using her as a tool to fight back again?
Sure enough, one sentence easily made Yue Qingru's mentality explode: "Ah, you asked Master to start a small stove again!"
