When I returned to Wuhun City, night had quietly fallen, and the lights on both sides of the street lit up one after another, reflecting a prosperous night market. Qian Renxue and Shi Yi walked side by side, their steps were light, as if they wanted to push this rare peaceful time longer. Although Qian Renxue, as the young master of the Wuhun Palace and the former Prince of Tiandou, only practice in her daily life, and her every move is majestic, she removed her reserve in front of Shi Yi, and her eyes were occasionally taken by the street. Bian Lin's dazzling array of gadgets were attracted, and his eyes were filled with girlish curiosity and excitement.
Perhaps because he noticed that the emotions he showed were a little out of control, Qian Renxue did not speak, but just pursed her lips slightly, and her eyes were still hanging on those delicate small objects. Shi Yi looked along her gaze, raised a gentle smile on the corner of his mouth, and asked softly, "Do you like it?"
Qian Renxue's cheeks flushed slightly when she heard this, and pretended to be cold and turned her head away. He snorted, "I don't want it."
Shi Yi did not say much, but just chuckled, and then took out a carving knife and a piece of rare metal with a golden luster from the soul guide. Seeing this, Qian Renxue flashed a little surprise in her eyes. Before she could speak, Shi Yi's fingers were already dancing skillfully. The carving knife slashed across the metal, making a subtle rustling sound. A moment later, a lifelike statue of a six-winged angel appeared in his hands. Shi Yi handed the statue to Qian Renxue with a little expectation in his eyes.
Qian Renxue took the statue, gently stroked the delicate lines with her fingertips, her eyes full of joy. The corners of her lips unconsciously raised, showing a satisfied smile, as if at this moment, all her worries were thrown away.
"How is it? My skills are pretty good, right?" Shi Yi asked with a smile, with a little smugness in his tone.
Qian Renxue looked up at him, with a smile in her eyes, patted his shoulder lightly, and said, "It's really good. I didn't expect you to have such skills."
Shi Yi smiled slightly, stared at her gently, and whispered: "Time is in a hurry, so I can only make a simple appearance. When I have time in the future, I will design some practical soul guides for you." As he said that, he naturally said The earth held Qian Renxue's hand, and the temperature from his fingertips made both of their hearts tremble slightly. "Yeah!" Qian Renxue nodded slightly, a faint blush appeared on her face, but she did not break free from his hand.
The two continued to walk on the brightly lit street. Qian Renxue was in a very good mood. From time to time, he pointed to shops or stalls on the street and pulled Shi Yi to stop and watch. Shi Yi was always by her side, with a gentle and doting look, as if every smile of her was the most precious treasure in his heart.
The night became darker, and the noise on the streets gradually dissipated, and replaced by a tranquility. Shi Yi held Qian Renxue's hand and walked slowly on the paved path of stone slabs. Qian Renxue's fingers were slightly restless, as if she had accidentally revealed her inner emotions. Her cheeks were blushing, her eyes wandering, and she looked a little flustered and shy.
Shi Yi noticed her little movement, raised the corners of his lips slightly, leaned over and joking softly, "Xue'er, aren't you... scared, are you?"
A warm breath brushed across his ears, Qian Renxue's body trembled slightly, then raised her head, glared at Shi Yi fiercely, and said calmly: "Who is afraid of whom! Don't be too sentimental."
Shi Yi chuckled, his eyes full of pampering, but he did not tease her anymore. He just held her hand tightly and continued to walk forward.
After a while, the two of them walked through several deep alleys and came to a secluded courtyard. The courtyard gate is simple and low-key, and the stone steps in front of the door are covered with moss, which makes it look particularly quiet. Shi Yi stopped, turned to look at Qian Renxue, with a smile in his eyes: "This is my yard, don't be able to find the door in the future."
When Qian Renxue heard this, the blush that had just faded on her face quietly appeared again. She snorted softly, turned her head away, and muttered in a low voice, "Who wants to find you..."
"You are the hostess." Shi Yi's eyes were gentle and firm, with unquestionable tone in his tone. serious.
When Qian Renxue heard this, the corners of her lips raised slightly, a trace of cunning flashed in her eyes, and she snorted softly, "I think I am one of the hostesses."
Shi Yi slightly raised his eyes Awkward look appeared on his face, and he subconsciously raised his hand and scratched his head, with a slightly flattering smile in his tone: "Xue'er, that...hehe..."
Qian Renxue A smile flashed in his beautiful eyes, and he glanced at him coldly, with a bit of teasing in his tone: "When your little cat and the little phoenix come back, I won't blame me for occupying the magpie's nest."
"How could that happen?" Shi Yi shook his head quickly, his face full of smiles.
Seeing his pretended pitiful look, Qian Renxue couldn't help but chuckle out loud, and the coldness in his eyes had long disappeared. She shook her head gently, with a little helplessness and doting in her tone: "Okay, don't pretend to be pitiful."
When Shi Yi heard this, his smile on his face became brighter, and he reached out to hold her gently. He whispered, "Xue'er, you're so nice."
Qian Renxue did not break free from his hand, but just snorted gently, but a smile unconsciously raised the corner of her lips. She let Shi Yi lead him and slowly walked into the yard.
A few days later, Bibidong took his group back to the Wuhun Hall.
When Zhu Zhuqing and Shui Bing'er stepped into the courtyard, what caught his eye was Qian Renxue and Shi Yi's intimate appearance. Both of them were stunned, with an incredible look on their faces, and their steps couldn't help but stop.
She Yi saw this and quickly got up from the rocking chair with a slightly awkward smile on his face, with a slightly flattering tone: "I'm back, Zhu Qing, Bing'er, this The harvest was not small, right?” Zhu Zhu nodded, her eyes wandering between Shi Yi and Qian Renxue, looking up and down. Shui Bing'er did not respond to Shi Yi's words, but instead turned her gaze to Qian Renxue sitting not far away, with a hint of exploration in her eyes.
Although the two had already predicted the relationship between Shi Yi and Qian Renxue, they still felt a stir in their hearts when they saw them so close. Zhu Zhuqing's eyes stayed on Qian Renxue for a moment. Suddenly, she seemed to understand something, and a trace of understanding flashed in her eyes.
"No wonder..." Zhu Zhuqing murmured in a low voice, with a little relief and helplessness in her tone. She finally understood why Shi Yi was reluctant to accept Hu Liena's wishes.
One is Bibidong's apprentice and the other is Bibidong's daughter. The two have similarities and differences, not to mention the indescribable tacit understanding and closeness between Qian Renxue and Shi Yi.
Shui Bing'er glanced at Qian Renxue, with a hint of hesitation in her tone, and she said softly: "This time Aunt Dong has replenished the last two soul rings and soul bones, and her current strength is probably as good as Senior Posesi is comparable. I also obtained the soul bones of the Titan Snow Demon King during this trip, and my soul power has reached level 94. It is only two soul bones left before completing the sixth exam."
Qian Renxue's expression sluggished when she heard the news from Bibi Dong, and a complex look flashed in her eyes, as if she was trapped in some kind of memory. After a while, she slowly stood up from the rocking chair, looked at Shui Bing'er softly, and whispered: "Congratulations, Bing'er." Then, she turned to look at Shi Yi, with a hint of reluctance in her tone and Firmly: "Xiao Yi, the holiday given to me by grandpa is almost the same. It's time for me to go back and continue the test."
Qian Renxue was about to turn around and leave, but Shi Yi gently pulled her wrist. His palms were warm and powerful, as if they could convey the firmness of his heart through his skin. Shi Yi stared at Qian Renxue, his voice low and gentle: "Xue'er, do you believe me? Escape cannot solve the problem."
Qian Renxue's body trembled slightly, and his wrist was on Shi Yi's The palms trembled gently. She lowered her head, her eyes wandering, as if she didn't dare to look directly into his eyes. Shi Yi could clearly feel her inner struggle and anxiety, and there was an invisible gap between the mother and daughter. After a moment of silence, Qian Renxue finally raised her head, with a complex light flashing in her eyes. Her voice trembled a little, but she had a hint of stubbornness: "Xiao Yi, I'm not escaping, I'm just..."
Shi Yi did not let go of her hand, but instead held it tighter. His eyes were firm and gentle, as if he wanted to pass on his own strength to her: "Xue'er, you don't need to bear everything alone. No matter what you face, I will be with you. Trust me, okay?" br>
Qian Renxue looked at him, and the stubbornness in her eyes was gradually replaced by a touch of softness. The corners of her lips trembled slightly, as if she wanted to say something, but in the end she just nodded gently and whispered: "Okay, I believe in you."
A hint of comfort appeared on Shi Yi's face. With a smile, he easily opened her hand, turned to her shoulder, and gently hugged her into his arms. Qian Renxue did not resist, leaned on his shoulder and closed her eyes, as if at this moment, all the worries and pressure were melted by his warmth.
Zhu Zhuqing looked at the two of them, her eyes full of smiles, as if she had already seen through everything. Shui Bing'er looked a little cramped, with an unnatural blush on her face, and she coughed gently, trying to break the slightly ambiguous atmosphere.
Qian Renxue, who heard the movement, instantly came to her senses, and a faint blush appeared on her cheeks. She gently pushed Shi Yi, although her movements were light, but she was a little shy and panic.
Shi Yi didn't care, but just looked at Qian Renxue gently and whispered: "Aunt Dong just came back. I think this is a good opportunity. What do you think? Xueer."
Qian Renxue nodded slightly, and a trace of firmness flashed in her eyes. She sorted out her emotions and then returned to her former calmness.
She Yi saw this, a gentle smile appeared on his face. He turned to look at Zhu Zhuqing and Shui Bing'er, and said in a relaxed tone: "I will take Xue'er to pay homage to Aunt Dong, you are waiting for me to come back at home. .”
Zhu Zhuqing and Shui Bing'er looked at each other, then nodded together. Zhu Zhuqing's eyes still had a smile, while Shui Bing'er pursed her lips slightly, with a hint of complexity in her expression, but she didn't say much.
No mistakes, one song, one content, one in 6, one book, one bar, one reading! "Let's go." Shi Yi said softly, with a hint of comfort and firmness in his tone. Immediately, the two left the courtyard side by side and walked slowly towards the Pope's Hall.
When Shi Yi brought Qian Renxue to the Pope's Hall, Qian Renxue suddenly stopped and a hint of uneasiness appeared on her face. Her eyes stared at the towering palace door, as if behind that door was a past that she didn't want to face.
Shi Yi noticed her emotions, held her hand tightly, looked at her firmly and gently, and comforted her softly: "Xue'er, believe me, Aunt Dong will no longer be like her again That was the case back then."
Qian Renxue was silent for a moment, and finally nodded slightly, and the hesitation in her eyes was gradually replaced by a trace of firmness. The two stepped into the Pope's Hall side by side, and the sound of footsteps echoed in the empty hall, making it particularly clear.
At this time, Bibi Dong was sitting in the hall, lowering his head to handle the official duties accumulated over the past few days. Her expression was focused and majestic, as if nothing outside could disturb her. However, when she sensed someone entering, she slowly raised her head, with a hint of surprise in her eyes.
Shi Yi held Qian Renxue's hand and saluted Bibi East respectfully, with a little closeness in his tone: "Aunt Dong."
Qian Renxue stood aside with a look of expression It's a little unnatural and seems to be a little resistant. She lowered her head slightly, her eyes wandering, and she had not spoken for a long time. Shi Yi looked at her with encouragement and support in his eyes.
As Shi Yi's gaze, Qian Renxue finally took a deep breath, her voice trembling, but she still said clearly: "Mom...Mom..."
These two The words seemed to have used all her strength. After the words fell, her fingers trembled slightly, and a trace of complex emotions flashed in her eyes.
Bibidong's expression slightly stopped when he heard this call. The originally majestic momentum disappeared instantly, but she seemed a little unaccustomed to Qian Renxue's attitude. An indeceptible softness appeared on her face. She put down the pen in her hand and looked at her. Stayed on Qian Renxue for a moment, then slowly got up and took a deep breath, as if he wanted to make his tone look gentle as much as possible. He looked at the two of them holding hands and hesitated: "You..."
Shi Yi smiled generously and said, "As you saw, I hope you can get your support."
Bibidong did not respond to Shi Yi but turned his eyes to Qian Renxue.
Qian Renxue raised her head and met Bibidong's gaze. At that moment, it seemed as if countless emotions were flowing between the two, and the years of estrangement and alienation seemed to have loosened a little at this moment.
"Do your grandfather know?" Bibidong's voice was soft, but with a hint of undetectable concern. Her eyes fell on Qian Renxue, and a complex emotion appeared in her eyes.
Qian Renxue seemed to be still not used to conversations with Bibidong. When she heard her question, she subconsciously regarded it as a question. She frowned slightly, a hint of displeasure flashed in her eyes, but soon she suppressed her emotions and replied patiently: "I have taken Xiao Yi to see Grandpa."
Bibidong Hearing this, his eyes wandered between Shi Yi and Qian Renxue, and a hint of emotion and complexity appeared in his eyes. Her thoughts seemed to be pulled back to the distant past, and two familiar figures appeared in her mind involuntarily. The figure was vague but profound, as if it carried her past regrets and helplessness.
She murmured softly, "Why..." There was a hint of indescribable melancholy in her tone, as if she was sighing at the cycle of fate, and as if she was recalling those long-lost time.
The hall fell into a brief silence for a moment, and a subtle atmosphere filled the air. Qian Renxue noticed Bibidong's strangeness, and a trace of doubt flashed in her eyes, but she didn't say much. Shi Yi stood aside and silently watched the mother and daughter.
The afterglow of the sunset shines into the hall through the tall windows, adding a touch of warmth to the slightly heavy scene. Bibidong's eyes gradually pulled away from the memories and fell back on Qian Renxue, with a hint of softness and relief in his eyes.
She sighed softly, with a rare gentleness in her tone: "Since you have seen your grandpa, I have nothing to say. Xueer, you... have grown up."
Qian Renxue's body trembled slightly when she heard this sentence, and a trace of complex emotions flashed in her eyes. She opened her mouth, as if she wanted to say something, but in the end she just nodded gently and whispered: "Yeah."
Shi Yi stood aside, staring at the scene silently, feeling in his heart. He knew that the knot between the mother and daughter could not be untied overnight, but at least, it was the beginning. (This chapter ends)
