Chapter 287: Proposing Marriage to the Master's Wife
As the lights dimmed, He Kongyue and You Su said goodbye in the crowd.
Ji Lingruo secretly cursed, why did the separation between the two men seem like a separation of life and death?
On the way back, the starry night was brightly lit, and You Su was holding the hands of the two girls, one on the left and one on the right, which was really enviable.
Even though they were wearing tiger masks, there were still many people who came to Henggao City to participate in the lantern festival who were also practitioners. They vaguely guessed the identities of these three people with extraordinary temperament, and they were all surprised.
After this night, I am afraid that many men will be sad and women will shed tears.
Actually, Ji Lingruo is still a little shy, embarrassed to hold hands with You Su in such a public place. But You Su was about to let go after watching the fireworks just now, but Wang Shu never let go. This made Ji Lingruo also want to compare and not let go. He had no choice but to let You Su lead him all the way back to Lotus Peak.
"Junior sister, senior sister, are the fireworks nice?"
You Su himself was unable to witness the splendor of the fireworks, but he hoped that the expectations of the two women would not be disappointed.
“Hmm!”
Wangshu nodded heavily. She was deeply shocked by the beauty of thousands of flowers and trees blooming in the east wind tonight.
Ji Lingruo pursed her pink lips, "It looks pretty good, but He Kongyue is a bit redundant."
You Su didn't pay much attention to Brother He's existence. There are many people, and there is no difference if there is one more person and one less person around:
“Brother He also invited me this time. With his guide, we can find the most exciting viewing spots along the way. This time we are familiar with the route, and next time it will be just the three of us. Let’s go together.”
“That’s what you said.”
Ji Lingruo cursed in her heart, why can’t the two of us go?
"Next time, there is no need to get together in a place with so many people. The fireworks are in the sky, where can I watch them?"
After all, she was just a girl, and she thought she would follow her. As written in the storybook, the hero and heroine had a passionate kiss under the sky full of fireworks, but there were so many people, and she was afraid she would be embarrassed to even hug each other.
Besides, the senior sister is still around. If she is asked to learn, she will definitely come and join in the conversation. Couldn't the three of them kiss together? How is that possible?
You Su joked with her a few more times, while Wang Shu looked at them silently, with a smile in the corner of his eyes. The three of them first hung up the red lanterns they bought at the market to add a festive touch to the cold Lotus Peak, and then sat in the yard chatting and watching the stars, but no one was willing to go back to their rooms.
Ji Lingruo didn't know what the other two people were thinking, but it was indeed understandable that she didn't go back to the room. At this important moment of transition, how could she be willing to leave You Su alone with her senior sister? Even if the other party had just come out of quarantine, she still had to defend the majesty of her 'boss'.
"Sister, do you know why you can't sleep on New Year's Eve?"
"Why?"
"This is called staying up late. It is said that there is a powerful beast named 'Nian'. Every New Year's Eve, people go out to cause trouble, and then return to the mountains and forests when the rooster crows at dawn. Every New Year's Eve, people regard the night when the Nian beast is raging as a gateway to pass the time. Reunion and conversation are regarded as a means of praying for a safe night. Over time, it has become a custom on New Year's Eve. "
"Then we are also a family."
Wang Shulan. Her eyes were crystal clear, and her legs under her white skirt were very slender. When she sat down, her knees were very high. She put her delicate white hands on her knees together and looked particularly obedient, which was in sharp contrast to Ji Lingruo, who was sitting in a carefree posture.
"Shouldn't Senior Sister ask how powerful the Nian Beast was?" Ji Lingruo also wanted to show off the ink in his stomach to Senior Sister, but the other party seemed to have no interest in this legend.
"It doesn't matter. If you are very powerful, I will protect you." Wangshu replied innocently.
Ji Lingruo wanted to complain, but the other party had just broken through to the Feather Middle Realm and was beyond her reach, so there was nothing she could say.
"Senior sister is right, we at Lotus Peak are a family."
You Su smiled warmly and followed the trend. He had long regarded these women around him as family members, and he naturally agreed 100% with what his senior sister said.
Ji Lingruo turned her head and rolled her eyes cutely when she heard this. Although she felt that You Su was really thick-skinned, she couldn't bear to find fault with her senior sister's words. He simply stopped talking about the topic and continued:
"In order to deal with the Nian beast, we not only have to keep the New Year's Eve, but also set off fireworks, set off firecrackers, and 'press money' for children. These New Year customs are actually There is a reason."
"Junior sister is so amazing, she actually knows so many things."
Wang Shu praised him sincerely, while Ji Lingruo raised her chin proudly.
"Then do we have to set off firecrackers?"
"No, senior sister, this is a folk custom. Even ordinary people don't fail to do everything, let alone us practitioners. It would be great if the Xuanxiao Sect allows fireworks to be set off in the evening. It is late at night. If you set off firecrackers again to disturb the peace of the Xianzong, you may be penalized by the elders of the Discipline Hall." You Su warned nicely.
"Oh..." Wangshu agreed softly, but he was still slightly disappointed.
Unexpectedly, Ji Lingruo raised the corners of her mouth playfully, took out a firecracker thicker than her forearm from the Qiankun bag, and said confidently:
"What's so difficult about this? I Know how to use soundproofing formations to ensure that no one else can hear you!”
"Really?"
Wang Shu looked at Ji Lingruo in surprise. It is worth mentioning that although Wang Shu is a genius in Taoism and has excellent energy control skills, she does not know how to use magic. .
Wang Shu couldn’t use even the lowest level fire-ignition technique.
But her superb talent in swordsmanship covered up this flaw and turned it into a kind of praiseworthy purity.
In fact, many people speculate that Fairy Wangshu is not extremely talented in swordsmanship, but she just happens to be the disciple of a sword wielder. If she were to use other weapons, she would still be the most amazing. That level of beauty.
You Su swept the firecracker with his spiritual consciousness and exclaimed:
"When did junior sister buy such a big firecracker?"
"Hey, since then A child bought it. This firecracker needs to be thick and big to be strong!"
You Su Jian raised his eyebrows slightly, while Wang Shu looked at the big firecracker in Ji Lingruo's hands with admiration. .
“Look at me!”
Ji Lingruo smiled, then moved her lips, danced with her hands, and cast an invisible sound-isolating formation.
She carefully picked up a piece of charcoal and placed it on the fuse of the firecracker. Even though the explosion was insignificant to her on the spiritual platform, she still instinctively shrank.
In an instant, flames flew everywhere, a deafening explosion sounded, and debris flew everywhere, like a rain of fire. The air was filled with smoke and a pungent smell of gunpowder.
Such a brief but intense explosion scene left Wangshu stunned.
You Su also felt emotional, feeling that under the red lanterns during the Chinese New Year, not setting off a string of firecrackers was indeed missing something, but it only made Ji Lingruo suffer when he used the magic.
The smoke dispersed, and Ji Lingruo, whose face was covered with dust, coughed and walked out. Her spell casting range was limited, and in order to contain the sound, she had to stay very close to the explosion range of the firecrackers. Even if the girl was not afraid of the flying firecracker fragments, she could not stop the soot coming from her face.
Wang Shu saw Ji Lingruo's face turned pale and came over to ask with concern.
Ji Lingruo wiped his face casually, trying to appear more heroic, but ended up shaving his face even more.
Wangshu tilted his head, his eyebrows were crooked, and he took out a handkerchief and wiped Ji Lingruo's face. Ji Lingruo's heart warmed for a while, but she had the nerve to let the senior sister, who was as white as snow, dirty her hands, "No need for me, senior sister... I'll just go take a shower."
Ji Lingruo was really a little embarrassed that her senior sister was so kind to her, but it was a bit unethical for her to always guard her senior brother and be wary of her, so she found a reason to give the two of them some space to be alone.
Wang Shu didn’t understand Ji Lingruo’s thoughts and just stood silently next to You Su. She rarely took the initiative to speak, but this pure-minded girl didn’t seem to understand embarrassment, even if she was speechless with You Su It also made her happy.
"Senior sister, let's go find the master's wife." You Su remembered the master's wife's instructions.
"Yes."
Wang Shu nodded. She actually had many questions that she wanted to ask the Lord Lotus Sword, who was both her teacher and her mother.
After nodding, she ran to the bathroom very sensibly and reported the whereabouts of herself and You Su to Ji Lingruo who was taking a bath inside. She was afraid that her junior sister would not be able to find them when they came out after taking a bath. Worry.
Ji Lingruo submerged half of her head in the water and simply said "oh". Bubbles kept coming to the surface. It turned out that the girl's cheeks were bulging and as red as apricots.
She is always very keen on this kind of thing. The relationship between senior sister and senior brother has become irreversible after this crisis. When they go to the master's place this time, everything will be finalized.
It is impossible for the master who is so gentle to his senior brother to refuse his ‘proposal’.
She didn't have much sour taste. After all, the senior sister really liked her. She had known that such a day would come and had already prepared her psychological preparation.
It's just that the girl is still a little sad, worried that Yu Su's love for her will be lost. But if You Su were asked to abandon his senior sister and love her wholeheartedly, she would probably be the first to disagree, and might even call his senior brother a 'scumbag' in return.
The tangled mind of a girl is like a cocoon formed by spring silkworms, with a young butterfly hidden inside.
When she thought about her future life on Lotus Peak, she suddenly felt that the three people kissing together that she had just imagined would not be impossible...
Her only hope now was I hope senior sister will find her face later, otherwise she will really have to eat the same candied haws...
Ji Lingruo buried her entire face in the water, hoping to numb her random thoughts...< br>
The two walked side by side towards the back of the fairy forest. You Su hesitated for a moment, but finally made up his mind and gently took Wang Shu's hand.
Soon, the two passed through the fairy forest that could be controlled by He Shutong's thoughts, and reached the warm pool that was dimly glowing at night.
Through the mist, He Shutong saw the two people holding hands together. Although she was well prepared, she still couldn't hide her weirdness. On the day she was preparing to take You Su back to Lotus Peak, she had never imagined this situation today.
“Master.”
“Master’s wife.”
"You are here."
He Shutong replied lightly. She lacked the experience of being an elder, so she was inevitably a little embarrassed about what she would face next, and worried that she would not handle it properly.
"What's the matter with you two coming here late at night to seek me as your master?"
"My junior brother asked me to come."
Wang Shu was honest, but it's a pity that he heard this It actually sounds a bit like passing the blame.
You Su also complained helplessly, you asked me to bring people here...
But even though he thought so, he would definitely not say this:
" Tonight is New Year's Eve, and Senior Sister is leaving the customs on an auspicious day, so I brought Senior Sister to visit Senior Sister and say hello to Senior Sister."
"Today is New Year's Eve..."
He Shutong. With some emotion, I just feel that time flies by and the years are like a shuttle.
In her impression, Wang Shu was still the simple and obedient child who would tirelessly ask her what the New Year meant; and You Su was the one who would hold a bowl of hot dumplings and keep shouting at the door during the Spring Festival. Her little child.
But these two children actually came to her holding hands at this moment.
"Wang Shu has transformed into the Feather Middle Realm at such a young age. It is really amazing. I am very happy for you, my teacher. You have hardly relied on me for help along the way. It is really great for me to have you as my disciple." Quite lucky."
"Thank you, Master."
Wang Shu didn't know how to say polite words or nice words like 'Master is also my luck', but her tone revealed it. Genuine joy.
She knew that the master had become different. The previous master rarely praised her, but now she could feel the true joy in the master's heart.
“Unknowingly, you have been coming to Lotus Peak for nearly half a year, are you still used to it?”
After He Shutong praised the eldest disciple, he came to care about the second disciple.
"I have long been accustomed to it being like my own home."
You Su is not ashamed either. He knows that the simpler he speaks, the happier his wife will be.
"That's good, you bring your senior sister to find me...do you have anything else?"
He Shutong didn't know why, but felt that his heart was beating fast and he was very nervous.
You Su held Senior Sister's hand, which was a little cold at first. His desire to make the girl warmer became stronger, which made him muster up the courage to speak frankly:
"I hope Senior Sister Can you allow Senior Sister to be my Taoist companion!"
You Su spoke in a smooth tone. As he spoke each word, You Su's heart beat like a drum. He felt so nervous that his heart almost jumped out of his chest. chest.
Whether it was his junior sister or Xueruo, he had never experienced this kind of scene of proposing to an elder woman, so how could he not be nervous.
He Shutong also clenched her hands tightly in the water. Her mood was complicated and indescribable, including relief and a little resentment.
She couldn't help but think of that day, when Yousu blamed himself for falling in love with Lingruo's sister at the same time. At that time, she also enlightened him, telling him that this world is filled with capable people, as long as the ability is worthy of her own Just be ambitious. Within a few months, his ambition had spread to his senior sister.
Now that I think about it, could it be that I opened the door to the young man’s ambition...
Of the three people present, the only one who was not nervous seemed to be Fairy Wangshu. A flash of light flashed in her blue eyes. A trace of doubt:
"But haven't I been my junior brother's Taoist companion for a long time?"
He Shutong and You Su's pupils suddenly opened. He Shutong looked at You Su in disbelief, and his tone rarely trembled:
"You, you...have already sent your senior sister?!"
