Chapter 219 Guess what went wrong
It was already dawn, and Qingqing had already gotten up and was quietly helping her master wash up.
When she saw Qing Yi push open the door, she hurried in carrying a copper basin filled with warm water.
"Huh?" He glanced at the table in the master's room and saw it had fallen to the ground. He couldn't help but exclaim in surprise, his eyes full of confusion.
Qing Yi glanced at the fallen table and blinked slightly, his eyes full of the hint of "don't ask too many questions".
Seeing this, Qingqing couldn't help but imagine a wonderful "drama" in her mind - could it be that the two of them... broke the table? Well, that made sense. There was no one else here, so who else could it be besides them? But how on earth had the table been broken? Oh, the more she thought about it, the more strange it became. Qingqing quickly shook her head, shaking those thoughts out of her mind.
"Qingqing?" Qing Yi saw her stunned and couldn't help but remind her with a smile. This silly girl, is she worried about the few pieces of silver? Humph, it's just a table, how much can it be worth?
"Oh, um, I... I'll go serve breakfast." She came back to her senses, bowed hastily, and quickly left the room.
She happened to be walking towards Qingfeng. If Qingfeng hadn't reacted quickly and dodged to the side, the basin would have hit her. Even so, Qingfeng kindly reached out and gently pulled her to prevent her from falling.
"Ah, Qingfeng! Why don't you watch out when you walk?" Qingfeng was quick-witted and put the blame on others without hesitation.
Qingfeng didn't argue when he heard that. He didn't bother to argue with the girl. He stepped aside to make way for Qingqing, letting her pass by quickly. He was just wondering what was wrong with the girl so early in the morning?
"Master." Qingfeng walked into the room and bowed respectfully.
"Yeah." Ye Qingyu responded.
Qingfeng also noticed the broken table on the ground, was slightly stunned, and then pretended not to see it.
"Qingfeng, the table is broken. Please ask the store to replace it. Otherwise, how are we going to eat later?" Qingyi had just finished washing his face and said while wiping it.
"Yes." Qingfeng responded and went to negotiate with the store owner about changing tables.
Soon, Qingfeng and the shopkeeper arrived with a new table. Of course, they had to pay for the broken table. The shopkeeper was genuinely puzzled. How could this solid wood table break? What on earth had they done to it?
The table was changed, but Qingqing's food had not yet been served. Qingyi felt bored, so he said to Qingfeng, "Qingfeng, how about we arm wrestle and compare our strength?"
Qing Yi thought to himself: Humph, I can’t beat Xiao Ye, so is there anything else I can’t do to Qing Feng?
"Arm wrestling?" Qingfeng was stunned when he heard this. What did this mean? He was already an adult, and he was still playing this kind of game?
"Yes, let's see who's stronger. Last night, your master and I had a fight, and we both won and lost. The winner hasn't been decided yet."
Upon hearing this, Qingfeng couldn't help but look at his master who was taking it calmly, and wondered in his heart: The master never played like this when he was a child, but now he is playing arm wrestling with Qingyi?
"Come on!" Qing Yi had already sat down at the table and shouted at Qingfeng.
Qingfeng did not move.
"Are you afraid of losing?" Qing Yi couldn't help but use provocation when he saw this.
"What are you trying to break? Are you waiting for you to cut the legs off?" Ye Qingyu deliberately teased. He could see the guards and maids' expressions after seeing the broken table, and the suspicions they might have in their minds. Now that he had the chance, he naturally had to feign indifference and explain.
Ye Qingyu didn't believe that Qing Yi didn't understand. This kid didn't mention it on purpose to cause misunderstanding.
"So it was crushed while arm wrestling!" Qingfeng suddenly realized. If the master hadn't said it, who would have thought that this was the reason? He was so panicked when he went out just now. Was he overthinking it?
"Hey, Xiaoye, open your eyes and watch! I won't do anything this time, it's a fair fight!" Qing Yi put the Bi Yue Sword on the table and said confidently.
"Okay, in that case, let me compete with you!" Ye Qingyu smiled slightly and accepted the challenge.
"Ah... OK... OK!" Qing Yi responded, but his eyes involuntarily drifted towards the door. Seeing Qing Qing coming in with the food, he hurriedly went to greet her, "Why are you here so late? Hurry up and serve it! I'm starving!"
Ye Qingyu couldn't help but laugh at this. This kid knew he couldn't win, so he tried every possible way to avoid the competition.
After the four of them finished their breakfast, they continued their journey south.
"By the way, if Master goes to Jiangnan, he has to take this road. How come we can't meet him along the way?" Qing Yi couldn't help but ask as they were riding their horses along the mountain road.
"The Demon Lord set out three days earlier than us, so he's naturally faster."
"Oh, I wonder how my master will feel when the master arrives at Prince Shi's Mansion?" Qing Yi sighed. He wanted to inform his master in advance, but was stopped by Ye Qingyu.
There was an unspeakable knot between Mo Qitian and the Demon Lord. Perhaps, spending some time together would help untie those knots.
"Xiao Ye, should we also go through Jiangnan? Then we can go see my master! I really miss him after not seeing him for a few months!" Qing Yi suggested.
"Yeah." Ye Qingyu responded. He naturally knew that Qing Yi was worried about the Demon Lord. If he didn't get along well with Master Mo, Master Mo would be bullied by the Demon Lord.
After a month of interaction, Ye Qingyu discovered that the Demon Lord was completely different from the rumors. Not only was he a martial arts expert, he was also a learned man with a wide range of talents. He even knew military tactics and battle formations like the back of his hand, applying them effortlessly.
Ye Qingyu thought: The Demon Lord's youth might not have been ordinary. He must have read extensively and been taught by renowned teachers, which is why he possessed such extraordinary insight. However, everyone was blinded by his status as the former leader of the Demon Cult and his eccentric personality, overlooking his astonishing talent.
Ye Qingyu rarely truly admired someone, but he admired the Demon Lord from the bottom of his heart. He even often imagined that one day he would become a person as talented and learned as the Demon Lord.
"I don't want to stay with my master for a single day. Fortunately, he is not traveling with us." Qing Yi complained about his master.
"Don't you like him?" Ye Qingyu couldn't help but ask after hearing this. He had just secretly imagined that he could become someone like the Demon Lord one day! And Qing Yi said something like this?
"Like him? Xiaoye, how can you ask such a question? This old man is domineering and unreasonable, and he is also a fence-sitter. I can't even avoid him!" Qing Yi's expression was extremely exaggerated.
"But Senior is so knowledgeable and intelligent..." Ye Qingyu tried to point out the Demon Lord's unnoticed strengths. However, before he could finish his words, Qing Yi interrupted him anxiously: "Xiao Ye, what did he do to you? Why are you praising him like this?"
