At certain times, actions are often faster than thoughts. By the time Xie Beiming reacted, his hand had already touched Shen Qiqi's forehead. After brushing away the unsightly strand of hair, he also took the initiative to help Shen Qiqi wipe the sweat off her face.
The way he wiped Shen Qiqi's sweat was as skillful and natural as the way Shen Qiqi unbuttoned his shirt to check his wound.
It was as if he had done this action countless times before, or rehearsed it countless times in his mind.
It’s hard for Shen Qiqi.
The moment Xie Beiming's fingertips touched her forehead, she keenly felt the warmth from his fingertips.
Just like the feeling Xie Beiming gave people, the temperature of his fingertips was not warm, but even a little cold, as if they had just been soaked in a basin of cold water.
However, cold flames have the same temperature and can make people's faces red.
Shen Qiqi's face became hot almost instantly, from cheeks to neck it was all crimson, even her earlobes were as red as drops of water filled with blood, crystal clear and bright.
My heart felt like it was placed on the surface of a drum, beating violently.
My ribs are almost broken.
Really, why are you wiping her sweat all of a sudden?
Shen Qiqi complained in her heart, but she didn't dare to stop. She quickly helped Xie Beiming rewrap the gauze on the wound, and then jumped away.
"Okay, it's okay." Shen Qiqi breathed quietly, as if she had just run a great distance.
Then he looked around, determined not to look at Xie Beiming's hand in the air.
Xie Beiming was wiping someone's sweat when the person ran away before he finished wiping the sweat. He was a little surprised. The hand with a trace of sweat on the fingertips was still stuck in the air, looking a little embarrassed and confused.
It wasn't until Shen Qiqi started talking that he finally reacted and calmly withdrew the hand that was stuck in the air.
"I'm glad you're okay. It hurt suddenly just now and I thought the wound had split open." Xie Beiming said, not even blushing as he told the lie.
Shen Qiqi's pounding heart had just calmed down, so naturally she couldn't see the thin redness hidden under his skin. She casually replied, "It's normal to feel pain. It's impossible for a cut that deep not to feel any pain at all."
Xie Beiming: "You're right, I'm a bit too delicate." He finished, frowning, "Actually, I wasn't so afraid of pain before, but lately I've been extra sensitive to pain, and I don't know why."
He looked confused about something he didn't understand.
Shen Qiqi: “…”
Shen Qiqi stared at him and thought to herself, haha, just pretend.
She was indeed frightened by Xie Beiming's painful expression just now.
However, if she still hadn't realized at this point that Xie Beiming was pretending, deliberately using the wound to make an issue of himself, pretending to be pitiful in front of her to gain sympathy and thus divert her attention, then she would be a fool.
But having learned from the experience of being teased twice and having her heart beating like thunder, even though Shen Qiqi saw through Xie Beiming's little thoughts, she didn't dare to step forward and point it out.
Even if it was exposed, would she hang Xie Beiming up and beat him up, or would she take Xie Beiming to Baozhuan Peak and tell her master that Xie Beiming was deliberately causing trouble and ask her master to remove her confinement order?
If she really did this, her master might really lift her confinement order, but Xie Beiming might be in trouble.
Let’s just forget it.
She would rather be put in solitary confinement than see Xie Beiming being punished.
Xie Beiming must be aware of this, so he dares to be so fearless.
Humph, she finally discovered that the claim that the pure and innocent flower on the mountaintop never eats human flesh was all a lie.
Mr. Xie is of a very high level.
Fortunately, this confinement only prohibited her from leaving Wuji Sect, but did not prohibit her from wandering around within the Sect.
The Wuji Sect is so big, it’s enough for her to explore.
I might as well take this opportunity to see if I can get closer to the residence of the Wuji Sect's leader.
However, although she couldn't take Xie Beiming to her master to complain about his grievances, she was not completely helpless against Xie Beiming.
for example……
Shen Qiqi showed her two rows of small white teeth and looked at Xie Beiming with a smile.
Xie Beiming had just stood up and tidied his clothes when he suddenly saw her smiling at him like this. He paused and suddenly had a bad premonition in his heart.
Forcing himself to remain calm, Xie Beiming asked, "What's wrong? Why are you suddenly looking at me and smiling like that?"
Shen Qiqi: "When asking someone to do something for you, you should naturally put on a smiling face."
The two rows of little white teeth are brighter.
Xie Beiming considered whether he should feel the pain again.
As a result, Shen Qiqi got ahead of him.
"Well, I asked you to find me some lotus seeds earlier. My master also wants to dig a lotus pond on the peak. But as you know, there are only the two of us at Baozhuan Peak, master and disciple, and we don't have enough manpower. So, my master asked me to come to Qingyin Peak to borrow some manpower."
“…”
Xie Beiming looked at Shen Qiqi without saying a word.
He consciously told Xie Beiming that Shen Qiqi was probably not just looking for Qingyin Peak to borrow manpower.
There must be something else behind it.
But he couldn't think of anything else for a moment, so he could only respond with a "meet the enemy with troops, meet the water with earth" attitude and replied, "Okay. I'll go tell Master right away."
Shen Qiqi: "I'll go with you."
Qingyin Peak is not Xie Beiming's Qingyin Peak. If you want to borrow people from here, you naturally have to tell the Immortal Master Yuyuan.
Yuyuan Immortal Venerable didn't say anything and readily lent the person to Shen Qiqi. He also gave Shen Qiqi a large basket of lotus seeds. Shen Qiqi took it and thanked him, "Thank you, Yuyuan Immortal Venerable." Then he turned to look at Xie Beiming, "Master Xie, let's go."
"Are you going to Bei Ming too?" Immortal Yu Yuan was stunned.
I think he didn't say that he wanted to lend Xie Beiming over as well.
Then Shen Qiqi said, "Yes, I have wanted to dig this lotus pond for a long time. I have talked to Master Xie about it before. Master Xie promised to help me plan it well, so naturally I have to invite him over."
“…” Immortal Yuyuan was speechless.
His own disciple has already agreed to it, so what else can he say as a master?
Xie Beiming raised his eyebrows and looked at Shen Qiqi.
The bad premonition in his heart became stronger.
Shen Qiqi had already invited with a smile: "Then, Mr. Xie, let's go."
“…” Xie Beiming could only follow.
Immortal Yuyuan was very generous. Including Xie Beiming, he borrowed a total of eight or nine people to help Baozhuan Peak dig a lotus pond.
The group of disciples were visiting Baozhuan Peak for the first time, and they couldn't help but look around curiously.
Only Xie Beiming did not dare to relax.
Shen Qiqi glanced at him and asked with a smile: "Master Xie, you seem very nervous? Don't be afraid, don't be afraid. We in Baozhuan Peak don't eat people."
