Are you kidding?!
The Great Elder sat up in shock from his dying illness, staring at Shen Qiqi with his old eyes and asked: "Qiqi, are you saying that what you just said is not true? Are you kidding us?"
Shen Qiqi lowered her head even lower, nodding like a chicken pecking at rice, and said, "Well, it's not true. Father is still unconscious. The most important thing right now is to go to Wuji Sect and rescue him. How could I risk my father's life and death for a festival?"
"I just wanted to tease the elders... Qiqi knows she was wrong. Elders, please punish her severely."
If you make a mistake, you must be beaten and accept the punishment.
This is what her mother taught her.
However, the elders didn't seem to have any intention of punishing her. They just looked at her and smiled, which made Shen Qiqi feel uneasy.
"Elders, please...don't look at me and smile like that. It's scary." Shen Qiqi rubbed her fingers and whispered.
In the end, the elders still looked at her and smiled.
Just when Shen Qiqi was hesitating whether to put the ruler on the elders' hands, the eldest elder finally spoke.
He first let out a sigh of relief: "Oh, I was scared to death just now, luckily it was just a joke."
Then he put on a serious face and said seriously, "Qiqi, the Great Elder has a favor to ask of you. Look at me, I'm so old, I can't stand being scared. Next time you pull a scary joke like that, could you please say hello to me first? I still want to live a few more years."
Shen Qiqi felt embarrassed and her face turned red.
The irritable Fourth Elder shouted, "Next time? If she dares to do it again, she will be punished by kneeling in the ancestral hall!"
Then he frowned again and said to Shen Qiqi fiercely: "If I don't punish you for three days, you will tear off the tiles on the roof!"
When facing the Fourth Elder, Shen Qiqi didn't have so many concerns. After all, the Fourth Elder was still very young and could withstand being scared.
Moreover, even though the Fourth Elder was like a firecracker that would explode at any moment and would scold her harshly at any time, she actually knew that among the elders, the Fourth Elder was so harsh to her because he had high hopes for her, so he made such strict demands on her.
There is a saying that goes, "If jade is not carved, it will become a useful object."
The Fourth Elder never gave up on this stubborn piece of stone, always hoping that one day he could carve her into a jade.
Shen Qiqi understood this in her previous life.
Unfortunately, in her previous life, she was not able to be carved from a stubborn stone into a jade, and ultimately disappointed the Fourth Elder.
But in this life, she will work hard to make herself better.
Shen Qiqi sniffed, holding up the hem of her skirt, and walked up to the Fourth Elder. Then, like when she was a child, she took the Fourth Elder's arm and shook it, saying coquettishly, "No spanking, no spanking, I will definitely be obedient in the future and will never dare to be naughty again."
When she was a child, every time she made a mistake, she would hold the Fourth Elder's arm and act like a spoiled child. If she was lucky, she might be able to avoid the misfortune of being beaten with a stick.
...But her luck in this regard doesn't seem to be very good. Nine out of ten times she was beaten, she couldn't escape.
The Fourth Elder probably also remembered her childhood, and his fierce face softened. However, he still insisted on keeping it tense. He snorted, "Hmph, you've said this too many times, but..."
The Fourth Elder couldn't hold it back after all. He raised his hand and poked Shen Qiqi on the forehead, saying unhappily, "I'll let you off this time, but don't ever scare your First Elder again... If you want to scare someone, come scare me. I'm used to it."
Mainly because he was willing to be scared.
The second girl has become much more sensible than before.
But there seemed to be a lot more heavy things in the second girl's eyes.
He could feel that it was those heavy things that were forcing the second girl to grow up quickly.
But the second girl is only seventeen years old this year, still a half-grown child, and should not carry such heavy things.
He felt sorry for the second girl who was forced to grow up with such a heavy burden.
Therefore, if possible, he is willing to cooperate with the second girl in playing, even if it is only for a moment. At least in that moment, the second girl is carefree and can put down those heavy things.
Although Shen Qiqi couldn't see through the Fourth Elder's inner thoughts, she could feel how warm the Fourth Elder's gaze was when he looked at her.
Like the warm sun in winter.
Like a father's love.
Being enveloped by such a gaze, Shen Qiqi couldn't help but feel a little sour in her nose. She leaned her head on the Fourth Elder's shoulder and said with a smile: "Yeah, Qiqi remember, Qiqi will never scare the First Elder again in the future. Qiqi will only scare the Fourth Elder."
I couldn't hold back my tears and they flowed out from my eye sockets.
Shen Qiqi rubbed against the Fourth Elder's shoulder rudely. The Fourth Elder was immediately disgusted and pushed her away, saying unhappily, "Go away, you're such a grown-up girl, and you still have snot. Isn't it shameful?"
After saying that, he took out a handkerchief from somewhere and pretended to wipe Shen Qiqi's nose, but deliberately wiped her entire face, taking the opportunity to wipe away the tears from the corners of her eyes, then turned around quickly and said, "I'll go to the kitchen to see if the food is ready."
After he said that, he left in a hurry, fearing that if he walked too slowly, his tears would be seen by others.
