Chapter 5 Kneeling Down "Don't look at her again."
(five)
Women's training.
Li Shanglu had never heard of such a thing in her life. Her parents had spoiled her since she was a child and never let her do any dirty or tiring work. Even before they died, they never said a harsh word to Li Shanglu.
In her home, Li Shanglu could do whatever he wanted and say whatever he wanted. He could lose his temper if he was unhappy and sleep until noon without any problem. When he woke up, he could eat meals prepared by his father and wear clothes sewn by his mother.
What about "serving husband obediently" and "regarding husband as heaven"? Li Shanglu almost vomited when writing these words.
Recalling what Xie Du had just said, he smiled and said, "Everyone in the world has their own responsibilities. Women should serve their husbands well, and disciples should respect their masters as if they were their biological fathers. Master's wives should set a good example for their disciples, otherwise how can disciples respect their masters?"
After saying that, he took out a book of women's training and threw it to Li Shanglu, asking her to copy it.
The long sword hung on his waist, more like it was hanging on the tip of Li Shanglu's heart. She had never been treated so harshly in her life. She was clearly just Shen Changyi's apprentice, but he dared to ask her to copy.
This is simply too much.
Retracting his thoughts, Li Shanglu spread out the papers, placed them on the table, and looked at Shen Changyi coldly, "Take a look."
Watch carefully how your good disciple treats your wife.
Shen Changyi walked forward slowly, carefully picked up a piece of paper, and his expression gradually became uglier.
Xie Du's respectful voice came from his ears, "Master, Master's wife is copying this voluntarily. It seems that she also knows that a wife cannot restrict her husband's ambitions. Master, please return to the sect as soon as possible to eliminate the demons."
Hearing this, Li Shanglu was almost angry enough to curse. What did he mean by voluntarily copying? He even dared to confuse right and wrong in front of her!
It was obvious that he was deliberately trying to get her to admit it, otherwise he would accuse her of being ignorant so that he could take Shen Changyi away.
Before she could open her mouth, she heard a "hissing" sound in front of her.
Shen Changyi stood silently, tearing up the pieces of paper with the female instructions bit by bit, with an unprecedented coldness in his eyes.
"Kneel down."
Li Shanglu and Xie Du were both stunned.
Who are you asking to kneel?
Xie Du was the first to react, cold sweat breaking out on his back. He immediately knelt before him and tried to explain, "Master, I'm here on the orders of the Sect Master to ask you to return. I've already checked before coming here, and I found out that a demon cultivator sent someone to contact Master's wife the other day. I'm worried that she might..."
"Silence."
Shen Changyi's face was extremely gloomy, and that look made Li Shanglu feel a little unfamiliar.
He is angry.
He seemed to be even angrier than when he found out she was having an affair.
Could it be that between the two, her infidelity and her apprentice's offense, in Shen Changyi's mind, her infidelity is not that serious?
Li Shanglu was silent, unable to understand what was going on in his head.
"Master..." Xie Du pursed his lips. This was the first time he had been reprimanded like this since he became Shen Changyi's apprentice.
He thought he was doing this for Shen Changyi's benefit. After all, the master's wife in front of him was most likely connected to the demon cultivator. This was an obvious trap.
Seeing him kneeling, Shen Changyi ignored him and hung the washed clothes in the bamboo basket on the clothesline one by one.
Li Shanglu lay back on the rattan chair, staring at Xie Du kneeling in the yard, and couldn't help feeling a little bit of the pleasure of a villain having achieved success.
Yes, so what if she is colluding with the devil, so what if she wants to exchange Shen Changyi's life for money, but your good master is a soft persimmon in her palm that can be squeezed and rounded as she pleases, and you can't control it even if you want to.
Xie Du knelt until dusk. Li Shanglu yawned, walked past him leisurely, and said in a sarcastic tone, "Chen Changyi, your good disciple seems to be unable to kneel anymore and is staggering."
"You...!" Xie Du gritted his teeth and looked at her, his eyes filled with anger. How could there be such a shameless woman? This was the first time he had seen such a shameless woman in his life.
Li Shanglu glanced at him and said loudly, "Chen Changyi, your good disciple is glaring at me."
As soon as he finished speaking, Shen Changyi came out of the kitchen, wiped his hands with a handkerchief, and walked to Xie Du with a calm expression.
Xie Du clenched his fingers and whispered, "Master, I..."
"Kneel straight."
Shen Changyi said lightly.
"Don't look at her again." He added coldly.
Xie Du: “…Yes.”
As the sun was setting, hot food was placed on the table. Li Shanglu sat at the table, picked up his chopsticks, took a few bites, and felt unhappy. He simply took the bowl and sat on the small stool in front of the door, eating while watching Xie Du kneeling in the yard.
The other party's face was pale and he lowered his head, looking like he had no more tricks up his sleeve.
Shen Changyi brought a bench and wanted to sit next to her, but before he sat down, Li Shanglu glared at him and said, "Stay away."
After a slight pause, Shen Changyi silently moved the small stool further away and sat in the corner under the eaves.
Xie Du looked up upon hearing the voice and saw his Sword Immortal Master, who was usually respected like the bright moon and fresh breeze, huddled in a corner of this simple courtyard, eating from an extremely plain bowl with a broken corner.
The sky is falling.
Does this woman know what she is doing?
"What are you looking at?" Li Shanglu stared at him maliciously and sneered, "Do you think your master can save you?"
Xie Du tilted his head to look at her, suppressed his emotions, and said nothing.
Li Shanglu, however, remained in high spirits, chatting with him cheerfully, "Do you regret choosing the wrong master? You should be tactful when dealing with people. This is the first lesson your master's wife taught you. You should flatter the right person."
Every word she said made Xie Du feel irritated, but due to Chen Changyi's indulgence, he could not refute her and could only remain silent and pretend not to hear.
"Speak." Li Shanglu was not satisfied with just torturing him like this. He insisted on hearing him flatter him in person. "How dare you not answer your Master's wife's question? That's really rude. I don't know how your Master taught you."
Hearing this, Xie Du finally couldn't help but speak, "It has nothing to do with Master. It's my fault for being rude today."
Seeing that he was still defending Shen Changyi, Li Shanglu sneered, put his bowl aside, stood up and walked over to him, "You also know that you are rude, why don't you apologize to me?"
Xie Du closed his eyes, his whole body shaking uncontrollably with anger. After a moment, he took a deep breath and said, "Everything that happened today is my fault. I'm sorry, Master's wife."
The angrier he was, the more satisfied Li Shanglu was.
She leaned over and looked at Xie Du's face, which had bulging veins on his forehead. A wicked smile appeared on her lips, and she reached out and touched his head. "That's more than enough, good disciple."
Xie Du was stunned.
His face turned pale for a moment, and he subconsciously looked at Shen Changyi, and saw a broken bowl fell on the side of Shen Changyi's boots under the eaves - it was crushed to pieces.
He was so scheming that he could think of such a sinister and cunning way to alienate them from their master and disciple!
"Phytolacca."
Li Shanglu's expression paused slightly, and she turned to look at Shen Changyi. She hadn't noticed when the other party came behind her.
He still had that calm expression, no emotion visible, but his eyes, as dark as dead water, stared at her steadily.
"What are you doing?" Li Shanglu thought that he couldn't stand watching him tease his good disciple, so he frowned and said, "Is there something wrong? If not, go back to your room and sleep."
But his wrist was grabbed and he was pulled to his side without resistance.
Li Shanglu was slightly startled, and fell defenselessly into Shen Changyi's arms. When he came to his senses, he couldn't help but feel unhappy, "Who allowed you to touch me?"
Shen Changyi did not speak, nor did he let go of his hand. He held the thin wrist and led the person into the house without saying anything.
With a bang, the door was slammed shut in front of Xie Du.
Xie Du: “…”
He shouldn't have come. Master was right.
*
In the room, Li Shanglu shook off his hand, rubbed his wrist which was pinched and hurt, and a look of anger appeared on his face.
It was true that she didn't reject being touched by Shen Changyi, but that was because Shen Changyi almost never touched her on his own initiative, which didn't mean that she liked being touched by Shen Changyi very much.
Especially after what happened last night, Li Shanglu now extremely dislikes his touch.
How could someone be so bad in bed?
Although Li Shanglu had no similar experience, she had heard many people talk about things in the bedroom. Without exception, they all said that it would be very comfortable and enjoyable. But last night she did not feel any pleasure at all. She just felt as if her body was torn apart and broken into pieces and played with at will. It was completely someone's unilateral, ruthless and cruel domination of her.
When she was crying and telling him to get out, he could still manipulate her without changing his expression, as if he was taking revenge on her.
Yes, it must be revenge.
After all, from Shen Changyi's perspective, he thought he was about to be poisoned to death by her, so naturally he wanted to take revenge on her.
She never wanted to do that kind of thing with Shen Changyi again, ever.
"Stay away from me." Li Shanglu pushed him away in disgust. "Don't push your luck."
She thought that she had given Shen Changyi enough benefits. In exchange, Shen Changyi should be grateful and hand over all the money he had hidden outside to her as soon as possible.
Shen Changyi was pushed aside by her and stood beside her not too far away. After a long while, he whispered, "You are still my wife."
Li Shanglu scratched his ears, not hearing clearly, "What?"
"Before you remarry," Shen Changyi's voice rose slightly, but still a little lacking in confidence, "you can't be intimate with others."
Li Shanglu: “?”
Who was she intimate with?
After a moment, she realized that she had indeed touched his good disciple just now.
That's considered intimacy? That's clearly a mockery.
She was speechless for a moment, but she was extremely dissatisfied with Shen Changyi's order to interfere with her behavior. "Leave me alone. I didn't care about you when you were having a good time in the sect while you were living a life of luxury outside."
Shen Changyi stared at her and said solemnly, "I didn't."
"Oh," Li Shanglu sneered, stepped forward and grabbed his collar, saying sarcastically, "Do you think I can't see? They all worship you like a god. How could they let you be treated coldly in the sect? While you're enjoying wine, beauties, and flowers under the moon, why don't you think about your wife eating coarse food in the shabby house you built?"
Shen Changyi pursed his lips and fell silent.
She thought she had hit the nail on the head, scoffed, opened the door and sent the guest away, "Get out."
"I thought about it."
Li Shanglu looked at him in confusion.
"So I didn't."
Chen Changyi raised his eyes to look at her and said slowly, "I think about it every day, so I dare not slack off for a moment. I never do anything other than eliminate demons."
He leaned down, as if he wanted to lower his head to help her tuck the hair around her ears, but when he saw Li Shanglu subconsciously dodge, Shen Changyi stopped moving, his eyes dimmed a little, and finally he just said softly,
"I'm going to bed. I won't leave tomorrow or ever."
"Shanglu, don't worry."
The door was gently closed, and the room fell into a peaceful silence.
The cool moonlight fell on Li Shanglu's shoulders, and the fingers hidden in his sleeves slowly curled up.
She wasn't worried.
How can you tell that she is worried?
She copied those crappy books just because she didn't want others to think she was ignorant. She didn't do that to keep Shen Changyi. Don't be so self-righteous and pretend to know her so well.
Idiot, trash, useless man, how can you take yourself too seriously!
Li Shanglu cursed in his heart angrily, and kicked the table leg in anger, gasping in pain.
After a while, she pursed her lips and wiped her eyes.
