Chapter 1092 Are you sincere?

Xie Zheng praised her for being virtuous and capable.

He's never said that before, but now he dares to say it to other people?

Song Chunxue didn't believe it.

“If you don’t believe me, let’s go listen,” Fangyue said, watching her pick up the basket. “No need to take it, I’ll just put a basket on the table for them. Come on, let’s go quietly.”

That's right. Song Chunxue doesn't know what Xie Zheng talks to others when she's not around.

She took two plums, wiped them on her clothes, and took a bite.

"Oh dear, Mother!"

Her eyelids trembled from the sourness. "Is this the sweetness you were telling me about?"

"Don't call me Mom. There were so many sweet things, I picked them out especially for you, but you insisted on choosing a sour one. Is it my fault?" Fangyue tapped her forehead. "Be careful, I won't bring you any next time."

"Don't be angry, senior sister. I was just saying it casually. I love eating whatever you bring." Song Chunxue took a small bite. "When my mouth is tasteless, even sour food tastes good."

Fangyue laughed and said, "Just kidding. If it's sour, we'll throw it away. In a few days, we'll sneak off and pick some that aren't sour."

"Whose house did you pick them from?"

"You forgot? We also have several senior brothers, and each of them comes from a distinguished family. They all like to grow all kinds of fruit trees, and their family fruits will be more than they can eat by June. I'll take you there next time."

Hearing about those senior brothers she had never met before, Song Chunxue became a little nervous.

It seems that she and Zhang Chengxuan have always stayed in a very poor place.

They arrived at the guest room on the second floor. The door was open, and they could hear a noisy commotion inside.

The boys were playing chess, and they were making a lot of noise, startling each other and playfully fighting.

Several older people sat by the window, chatting amicably, while Master Han and Zhang Chengxuan played chess.

Xie Zheng sat to the side, brewing tea for everyone.

Lord Zhao, understanding that it was inconvenient for him, took the money and poured it himself.

Song Chunxue glanced at her senior sister on the other side of the door, thinking that they hadn't said anything, and the two of them seemed to be acting suspiciously.

The children ate sour plums, complaining that they were so sour it hurt their teeth, and then stretched out their hands, "Give me a few more, they're so sour! How come things in the south ripen so early? The apricot pits in the capital aren't even hard yet."

Lord Zhao suddenly looked out the window, "Who is that? He looks familiar."

Lord Xie turned to look out the window without saying a word.

Tudan ran over, "Look who it is! Uncle-Master, you've run into someone you know again! Is it a man or a woman? Is it your former confidante...?"

The next moment, his expression changed. "This jinx dares to come here? I'm going to find my martial uncle!"

He quickly ran towards the door.

Song Chunxue and Fangyue appeared at the door.

"Who is it? Why is he looking for your Uncle Song?" Fangyue asked curiously, taking small steps towards the window. "Let me see if I recognize him..."

The next moment, she turned to look at Song Chunxue, who was slowly standing in front of Xie Zheng, her expression complex.

"who?"

Zhang Chengxuan also stood up curiously, and seeing the person below sit down again, he "snap!" and took a chess piece, muttering, "He really is a jinx."

Song Chunxue took two steps forward and saw a man and a woman in flowing robes looking up at her from the horse below.

"Lord Xie, how come you have so many suitors?" Song Chunxue crossed her arms and said in a light tone, "They're like persistent ghosts."

These words were full of sarcasm, but no one dared to tease her.

After all, Lord Xie almost lost his life because of this peach blossom.

I don't know whether to envy him or be glad that he's lucky.

It seems that when choosing a husband or Daoist partner, one should not choose someone too outstanding, as it is easy for trouble to arise.

"Let me see, let me see."

Wuyou darted to the window and exclaimed in surprise upon seeing the figure below.

"Lord Xie, that woman is here again. Is she trying to steal Song Chunxue away? You'd better keep your composure!"

"Master Han, could you slap them away with one palm? These two are too much of an eyesore. Even I, with my heart of stone, feel uncomfortable looking at them. Can your fleshy hearts take it?" Wuyou swaggered up to Song Chunxue with a cheeky grin. "Hmm?"

"Clang~"

Song Chunxue reached out and flicked him hard. "You have a sword, so shut up. I'm getting annoyed."

"Don't panic, they've come to apologize. Stay calm." Master Han straightened his sleeves. "Sit down, everyone."

Xie Zheng looked at Song Chunxue guiltily, preparing to move a stool for her to sit down.

“You sit down, I’ll do it,” Song Chunxue frowned. “Are you moving around like this before your injury has healed?”

Xie Zheng replied gently, "I'm much better. Don't be angry. This matter is not my fault. They were impolite and acted recklessly. Master will seek justice for me."

"Hmm, don't think that helping to find medicinal herbs is enough to atone for your sins. It was your senior brother who found the herbs," Master Han said, looking at Xie Zheng. "Qingxuan, who personally injured you, hasn't arrived yet. You can't forgive him so easily. No one has ever done such a stupid thing under my nose."

"Yes, Master, I will remember it." Xie Zheng said in a heavy tone, "I will not let this matter rest easily."

Song Chunxue glanced indifferently at the doorway, saw the two Taoist priests appear, and then bowed and walked in.

"Since everyone is here, this trip has not been in vain. We are here today to apologize." It was the Taoist Master Liufeng who spoke.

Master Han glanced at them indifferently. "Where is the person who injured my disciple? Is this considered an apology?"

Liu Feng glanced at Qing Yun beside him, his expression somewhat subtle.

Qingyun's gaze was fixed on Xie Zheng, looking into his eyes, trying to get a response.

Xie Zheng looked at Song Chunxue and moved closer to her.

Song Chunxue thought to herself, "That's more like it."

At least, Xie Zheng didn't forget how badly he was injured when he saw the beautiful female cultivator in front of him.

"Uncle Han, my second junior brother is injured and cannot go in person. Please forgive him."

Seeing everyone in the room staring at them, Liu Feng felt immense pressure, and a light sheen of sweat appeared on his forehead.

I had heard before that they had apprentices, but I didn't expect them to be so imposing, their eyes seemed to want to devour them.

I should have known better than to apologize on behalf of my junior brother. They made the trouble themselves, what does it have to do with him?

Tudan'er and Fangyue stood up, having come specifically to apologize, but the person in question did not show up.

The culprit still dares to covet his junior sister; he simply doesn't take them seriously.

Song Chunxue's gaze remained fixed on Qingyun. She had said she was here to apologize, and her exquisite makeup—a creamy yellow and light pink base with embroidered flowers—made her look charming and endearing.

This isn't an apology; it's clear they haven't taken back their feelings for Xie Zheng.

But Song Chunxue now seems to have no right to be angry.

After all, Xie Zheng had forgotten their past, and they were no longer inseparable as before.

But she could sense that her fellow disciples and nephews were all on their side.

Especially her carefree nature.

Although this sword often leaves her speechless, it still stands up for her in crucial moments.

“Senior Uncle, we have come here today with great sincerity. We heard that you have found those important herbs, so we have also brought some precious medicinal materials with us…”

Fangyue interrupted Liufeng, staring intently at Qingyun, "You haven't let go of Lord Xie yet, and you want to seduce him? Do you know that he and my junior sister were originally going to become Daoist partners?"

P.S.: I'll be away for a few days attending the annual meeting and need to work on my writing, so I can only update once a day. I'll add more chapters when I get back!!! I'll try to add more chapters until the finale.
