Chapter 1419 Let's Wait Patiently

In the room filled with the fragrance of sandalwood incense, the tea on the tea stove was boiling, with a few tea froths floating on top of the dense bubbles, seemingly about to fall.

The three brothers sat on straw mats, silently staring at the tea stove, but none of them poured tea.

Song Chunxue placed a handkerchief under her handkerchief, picked up the tea canister, poured the tea into the teacups in front of the three people, and then threw in a piece of yellow rock sugar the size of a date for each of them.

The atmosphere was a little awkward, and Song Chunxue guessed it was related to the triangular pyramid on her body.

She spoke up first, "Senior brother, this room is very elegant, like the residence of a mountain lord. There are bookshelves and desks, but it's missing a screen."

Zhang Chengxuan paused for a moment while serving tea, then said calmly, "I originally had one, but I accidentally broke it. I'll buy another one in a few days."

Xie Zheng asked curiously, "How did you break it? What did you do?"

"..." Zhang Chengxuan looked over with a long gaze, "You seem quite curious now."

"I am quite curious. I remember you mentioned in a letter before that a new female disciple broke into a room in the middle of the night. Could it be that..."

Zhang Chengxuan was exasperated, staring at the teacup. It was as if the tea was being rubbish.

"Oh? Is that so?" Song Chunxue shifted her posture. "Senior brother, why don't you tell me in detail?"

"..." Zhang Chengxuan glanced at Xie Zheng and gritted his teeth inwardly.

She hasn't even sorted out her own problems, and now she's starting to care about him?

In the middle of the night, behind a screen, Song Chunxue pondered these two words carefully, her mind wandering.

"Is that girl still on the mountain? Did he succeed in getting her?" Song Chunxue asked, completely oblivious to the situation.

Xie Zheng kept his eyes down, focusing on his nose and mouth, and silently drank his tea.

"You seem to be hoping I'll get taken advantage of. A teenage girl, do you think I'm some kind of lewd old man?" Zhang Chengxuan chuckled. "If I didn't have that self-control, wouldn't all these years of my cultivation have been for nothing?"

Song Chunxue laughed, "It seems that Senior Brother's charm is as strong as ever. You must have encountered this situation quite a few times over the years."

"No, it was only that one time. The girl was young and naive. I just noticed that she was withdrawn and gave her some pointers a few times on her own. She then developed a desire to repay me with her body. Alas, it's probably because her elders at home didn't care about her much. She developed a strong desire for recognition from a young age, so it's inevitable that she couldn't distinguish between gratitude and something else."

Song Chunxue nodded, "That's true."

"And what about you two?" Zhang Chengxuan took a sip of tea, regaining his composure, and casually glanced at the two of them. "Do you plan to forget each other here and go your separate ways? Can you do that?"

Xie Zheng added cold water to the tea canister and put an extra rock sugar in his teacup. Hmm, it tastes much better now.

“Hmm…” She originally wanted to say that it was all in the past and there was no need to take it to heart, but when she thought of the triangular pyramid, she changed her mind. “It is a bit difficult, but I can’t just be wishful thinking. It’s been more than 20 years, and any expectation should have dissipated. Actually, at this age, it doesn’t matter whether you forget or not. Anyway, we are both living fulfilling lives, and lingering attachments seem too sentimental.”

Xie Zheng's hand trembled, and some tea spilled.

“That’s true. You once said that it’s more carefree and unrestrained to have no worries,” Zhang Chengxuan said deliberately. “Anyway, young people seem more innocent.”

"..." Xie Zheng stroked the rim of the teacup, cursing Master Zhang in his heart.

"Aren't you curious about what's wrong with this triangular pyramid?" Song Chunxue placed the triangular pyramid on the table. "Xie Zheng, tell me honestly, did your master tell you the secret of this thing?"

Xie Zheng's heart skipped a beat, but he quickly regained his composure.

"Hmm, I suspect there are secrets in your past life, and perhaps your rebirth wasn't accidental. Don't you think this triangular pyramid will absorb spiritual energy like crazy in places with sentience? The truth will come out when it has accumulated enough spiritual power." Xie Zheng said calmly, "Just wait patiently."
