Ming Qiao was a pitiable little sprout in the cultivation world, born sickly and without a mother. His father left to seek medicine to cure his illness.
Little Ming Qiao sat on a door stoop, ...
Chapter 42
Although the little cloud was weak, it was enough to knock You Bufan over by charging forward like that.
After knocking You Bufan over, it still felt it was not enough and looked back at its cub.
"Baby! Come and hit it!"
Little Cloud also called on the baby to beat people together.
The cub in You Qing's arms wanted to get down, but You Qing held him too tightly and he couldn't break free.
Just as he leaned his little body back, asking You Qing to put him down, You Bufan, who was bullied by the little cloud, also became angry.
"Get lost!"
You Bufan was totally confused as to what little immortal was.
He pushed Xiao Yunduo angrily, his words becoming more and more foul: "You two bastards, how dare you use witchcraft in broad daylight! Brother, why don't you arrest them and take them back to Jiuxingmen!"
You Bufan regarded this small cloud that could bring rain and hit people as an illusion of witchcraft.
He was so angry that after calling his senior brother and seeing that he still didn't come to his aid, he grabbed the sword hanging at his waist, pulled it out violently, and slashed at Ming Qiao and You Qing.
You Qing held Ming Qiao in his arms and dodged easily.
He dodged and You Bufan continued to chop.
After just a few strikes, the brothers from Jiuxingmen came forward with grim faces to stop them.
They knew that if they didn't stop him, the people present would be happy to stop him for Ming Qiao.
"You Bufan, stop!"
The senior brothers who had been quite friendly to You Bufan in the past because they had accepted a lot of money from him, now showed no kindness to him at all.
They knocked the sword out of You Bufan's hand and shouted, "If you dare to disrespect Immortal Ming Qiao again, don't blame me for expelling you from the sect on behalf of the master!"
The rebuke from his senior brothers made You Bufan furious.
"Brother, I am your junior fellow apprentice, and you are helping this little bitch——"
Before he could finish the rest of his words, the leading senior brother slapped You Bufan hard in the face.
You Bufan called them "little bastard" all the time, and they didn't dare to listen when he dared to curse!
The kid from Lintian Sect, sitting on a spiritual cloud, exuded nobility from head to toe. Such a kid was not something that a few ordinary disciples could afford to offend.
If You Bufan continues to curse like this, all of them will be implicated!
You Bufan was also stunned by the slap from his senior brother. He covered his instantly swollen face and looked at his senior brother in front of him with disbelief.
"Sixth Junior Brother, take You Bufan back and let him reflect on his mistakes and repent for his disrespect to the little immortal."
Following his senior brother's cold order, You Bufan, with a slap mark still on his face, was dragged away by his fellow senior brother.
He was dragged in a miserable state, but Ming Qiao showed no sympathy at all.
Seeing that You Bufan's mouth was still stuffed with cloth by his quick-handed senior brother, Ming Qiao snorted and commented, "Serves you right."
You Bufan was dragged away, and the scene immediately returned to peace.
The others looked at Ming Qiao and offered their condolences.
"Little Immortal, were you scared just now? How about we play with you for a while?"
"No need to be spicy, brother, play with me."
Without the annoying presence of You Bufan, Ming Qiao's tense face relaxed.
His chubby little hands were playing with the fabric on his brother's chest, and his attitude towards people who spoke to him was much nicer.
Of course, the reason why he had this good attitude was also because these people had never bullied You Qing.
"Brother, I'm hungry."
Ming Qiao didn't want to play with anyone else. He tilted his chubby face up to You Qing who was holding him, and spoke in a soft, baby voice.
Before You Qing could respond, Young Master Chen, who had not left, spoke first: "Little Immortal, our dinner is ready. Do you want to eat something?"
"Yes, thank you."
Ming Qiao turned around and thanked Young Master Chen.
The dinner hosted by Young Master Chen was naturally of high standard.
Ming Qiao followed You Qing and had a hearty meal.
After dinner, Young Master Chen arranged new rooms for them to stay in. The room that You Qing originally stayed in was small and remote.
The rearranged rooms are not only large in size but also well located, as they are located in the inner courtyard.
"I live not far from you. If you need anything else, just come to me."
Young Master Chen said this and pointed to the room where he lived.
The room he lived in was only separated from Mingqiao by a corridor.
Mingqiao nodded his head to indicate that he had taken note of it.
He came to Chen's house to deal with You Bufan, and now he wants to do some real work.
Thinking about You Qing's mission, Ming Qiao asked Young Master Chen carefully, "How hot is Miss Chen now?"
"My sister is still in a coma and hasn't woken up. We have hired many famous doctors and medical practitioners, but nothing works."
"A Taoist priest said that my sister was possessed by some evil spirit, so I invited these practitioners to stay here and protect the Chen family."
"With them in charge, our Chen family will never be disturbed by evil spirits again."
"Without the evil spirit, I think my little sister will wake up."
Young Master Chen talked a lot to Ming Qiao.
Before that, You Qing couldn't get any answers no matter what he asked.
When he heard that it was an evil spirit invading, Ming Qiao patted his chest and assured: "Don't be afraid, I will protect you too."
In addition to learning to read and write in school, he also learned a lot from the four elders!
There are also the senior brothers from the Lintian Sect, who, although they love to poke his face, will also teach him many little tricks.
Although he has never put it into practice, he is still very confident in himself.
Young Master Chen listened to his promise with a smile on his face.
"Then I would like to thank you in advance, Little Immortal."
"You're welcome. This is for you."
Ming Qiao took out two evil-repelling talismans from the storage ring and handed them to Young Master Chen: "You can carry them with you or stick them on the door."
This was given by my senior brother.
Poke the little face three times and you can exchange it for a talisman from your senior brother.
He has so many.
After giving the talisman to Young Master Chen, Ming Qiao took You Qing's hand and returned to the room that the Chen family had prepared for him.
The room is clean and tidy, and the quilt is new and very soft.
The door closed, and Ming Qiao and You Qing were the only ones left in the room.
Without outsiders around, Ming Qiao threw himself into You Qing's arms again and rubbed You Qing hard.
"Brother, I miss you so much!"
Mingqiao hadn't seen You Qing for a long time and missed him very much.
He missed You Qing, and You Qing also missed him.
"Are you doing well in Lintian Sect?"
"Okay, everyone is so hot!"
Ming Qiao was very confident in what he said. He and Xiao Yunduo had been hanging out in Lintian Sect for so many days, and he could be absolutely sure that—
None of the inner sect brothers of Lintian Sect had any ill will towards him.
As for his outer sect senior brothers, Ming Qiao had not seen many of them and had never had the opportunity to meet them, so he was not very sure.
You Qing knew that he was doing well, but he couldn't help but want to confirm with him again and again.
The two kids were sitting in the room talking. Although the topic jumped around and they talked about this and that, both of them were in the same relaxed mood.
It was getting dark outside.
You Qing looked outside while closing the window.
"Is Duoduo not coming back?"
“It doesn’t want to come back yet.”
Duoduo has a bad temper and she won't stop just because it rains for a while.
When You Bufan was dragged away, it followed.
You Qing continued to close the window, but just before closing it, he asked Qing Heng and Wu Ye again: "Qiao Qiao, your father and mother won't come over to sleep at night?"
"Not coming."
Dad told him to take Xiao Yunduo to seek revenge and find his brother.
As for Daddy himself, he will protect him in secret.
"Brother, come and have some sleep."
Ming Qiao was very tired from sitting on Little Cloud during the day. He climbed onto the bed, got into the quilt, and patted the place beside him with his little hands.
You Qing came over and slept next to him.
The two little ones lay down in the bed, but didn't fall asleep immediately. They still had a lot to say.
Ming Qiao said that he wanted his father and mother to be together soon, and also said that the little cloud made a wish with him, that it would hail instead of rain.
"How can Duoduo make hail fall?"
“To become powerful.”
Ming Qiao rested his head on You Qing's arm and said seriously, "When Duo Duo gets stronger, it will start to produce hail."
If people practice cultivation, they can progress step by step from Qi Refining to Mahayana and then to Ascension.
The little cloud with spiritual consciousness also needs to practice. After practicing, it can also become stronger step by step.
It rained, snowed, hailed, and lightning struck.
It can do all these slowly!
"Spiritual practice, I remember seeing it in a book."
You Qing thought about it carefully, but couldn't remember it yet: "I'll think about it carefully and tell you when I figure it out."
"Well! Tell Duoduo then."
As the two kids were talking, their eyelids slowly started to droop.
At the end of their conversation, they fell silent, leaving only two even and gentle breathing sounds, intertwined and indistinguishable.
The child was sleeping in the house. In a room of Jiuxingmen, Meng Yun was sitting on a stool, not feeling sleepy at all.
After coming back, You Bufan broke free from his senior brother's suppression and rushed to find Meng Yun.
He came to Meng Yun to let Meng Yun make the decision for him.
He knew that Meng Yun had offended both Ming Qiao and You Qing when he snatched the broken sword from Ming Qiao.
Now, he can only count on Meng Yun to vent his anger for him.
"Uncle Master, You Qing and Ming Qiao are both at the Chen family now."
You Bufan finally got rid of the rain from the little cloud. He knelt in front of Meng Yun and complained bitterly, "They are very arrogant, especially that little bastard Ming Qiao. He brought a demon cloud with him to do evil and deceive people. He even pretended to be a disciple of the Lintian Sect."
You Bufan didn't believe that this kid could sneak into the Lintian Sect.
He slandered Ming Qiao in all kinds of ways to Meng Yun.
Meng Yun's eyelids were twitching and his hands were tightening unconsciously. He looked calm on the surface, but in fact, his heart was already in turmoil.
He had looked for Ming Qiao and You Qing before, but couldn't find them.
Now, the reappearance of these two children has brought new changes.
He had never thought about involving the Lintian Sect.
He was only worried that the Silver-faced Demon Lord would be implicated.
The Lintian Sect is a famous and legitimate sect after all. Even if they have offended someone, there is still a chance to beg for mercy.
As for the Silver-faced Demon Lord, this lord was famous for his fickle temperament and the ability to kill or give life at will.
"Are there any adults around them?"
"No, just the two of them."
After You Bufan finished answering, he added: "That little bastard Ming Qiao also brought a demon cloud with him. He is just as annoying as him."
"I understand. You can go back now."
Meng Yun spoke in a cold tone and sent You Bufan away.
You Bufan felt a little unwilling to see him chase him away like this.
But he had no choice but to accept it. He didn't dare to act tough with Meng Yun.
After leaving Meng Yun's house, the indignant You Bufan wrote a letter home, exaggerating the humiliation that You Qing had inflicted on him.
He is asking his mother for help!
As soon as You Bufan sent the letter home, Meng Yun got up.
After listening to You Bufan's complaint just now, Meng Yun had already made a bold decision in his mind.
You Qing has no elders to support him, so he is nothing to be afraid of.
Although Ming Qiao is suspected to have connections with both Lintian Sect and the Demon Lord, the two have not approached him yet, which means they are still unaware of his sword-stealing.
Since he didn't know, he could seize this opportunity.
Before they know about it, let Mingqiao shut up completely.
This decision is very risky.
But rather than waiting in fear, Meng Yun would rather strike first.
He changed his clothes and quietly disappeared into the Jiuxing Gate under the cover of night.
It’s not far from Jiuxingmen to the Chen family.
Meng Yun easily entered the Chen family courtyard and found the room where Ming Qiao lived.
The lights in the room just came on.
He stood outside the window and heard voices from inside.
It was Mingqiao who drank too much water before going to bed. He sat up groaning and said he wanted to pee.
You Qing was afraid that it was cold outside, so he brought a basin for him to relieve himself.
Ming Qiao didn't want to.
He rubbed his eyes with his chubby little hands until tears came out.
"Don't stay here, go outside."
It's very rude to pee in the house.
You Qing was at his wit's end and could only put his coat on and carry him outside.
"No."
Ming Qiao continued to shake her head and refused to be hugged: "I'll go alone."
Ming Qiao still has some concerns about peeing, and he doesn't want others to see it.
You Qing just wanted him to finish it quickly so that he could continue to sleep, so he said "hmm" perfunctorily, appearing to agree.
Ming Qiao climbed down, and was so dazed that he almost forgot to put on his shoes.
After finally putting on his shoes, he walked out holding the small lantern.
There is a toilet outside, right next to the room.
Mingqiao yawned, with messy little hair on his head, and walked slowly towards the toilet.
Before he reached the toilet, a shadow suddenly enveloped him.
Ming Qiao: “…”
Mingqiao's little radar is still very sensitive.
He suddenly came to his senses and hid to the side without even looking behind him.
At the same time, Xiao Yunduo, who came back from Jiuxing Gate to see the baby, also scooped the baby onto his back.
"insidious!"
Little Cloud was very angry. How could someone attack a baby who was about to go to the toilet?
The author has something to say:
Dad who hasn’t left yet: Damn, so wicked!
