Listening to the Lily of the Valley in the First Frosty Weather
The sect leader hurriedly said, "Quickly, quickly help me get them down."
Upon hearing this, two women immediately stepped forward. One gently lifted Xiao Qingyi down and placed her on the ground, while the other slowly took Xiao Li Xingyi and held him in her arms.
The sect leader immediately rubbed his shoulders and said, "I'm exhausted."
Then she pointed to the little Li Xingyi in a woman's arms and said, "From now on, this will be my disciple. Mu Dong, go and settle her in."
Upon hearing this, everyone was immediately shocked and exclaimed, "What?!"
The sect leader glanced at them, and everyone had no choice but to shut up.
The woman holding Little Li Xingyi said, "Yes, Sect Leader."
The sect leader gently placed his hand on Xiao Qingyi's head and said, "Mu Chu, you will be the one to teach her this."
The woman standing next to Xiao Qingyi replied, "Yes."
Xiao Qingyi said cautiously, "This..."
She came here to recuperate, but ended up in the sect and even took her young mistress as a disciple. It all seemed wrong, but she was afraid of being killed for saying the wrong thing, so she had no choice but to speak up.
Seeing this, the sect leader comforted them, "Don't worry, we won't hurt you. If you have any questions, you can ask Mu Chu. Xingyi will be fine here. Rest today, and you'll be able to see Xingyi tomorrow."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Qingyi immediately exclaimed happily, "Really?"
The sect leader smiled and said, "Of course."
Xiao Qingyi then followed Mu Chu away.
After the sect leader finished speaking, a little boy stepped forward and said, "Sect leader, don't you rarely take on disciples? You haven't taken on any yet. If we don't count this newcomer, why did you suddenly take her on as a disciple?"
The sect leader suddenly said, "Mu Dong and Mu Chu, it would be best if their rooms were separated by only one wall, so they could be neighbors, which would be more convenient."
Mu Dongmu Chu said from a distance, "Yes."
There are two types of disciples of the Frost Cold Sect. One type goes to the Frost Cold Sect to become an apprentice on their own. Of course, those who can come into contact with this aspect are definitely extraordinary. These are basically Frost Cold Sect members who come alone and do not bring others with them.
Another type is those who are brought back by someone from the sect. Li Xingyi is the second type. Of course, most of these people will bring other people with them. For convenience, the two of them are arranged to stay close to each other so that no one can fail to report back.
At the same time, in order to avoid causing unnecessary trouble, the truth must not be told to the family members when bringing people back. Those who come to Frostbite Gate must also be kept in the dark. The task of teaching is left to Mu Chu.
At this moment, the sect leader looked at the little boy in front of him and explained, "Xingyi has excellent aptitude and meets my criteria for selecting disciples. Besides, I don't usually accept disciples only because I don't have suitable people. Now that I do, you see, I brought him back to be my disciple, didn't I?"
Everyone had doubts after hearing this.
Does her sickly appearance really fit the description?
The little boy asked, "Sect Leader, why is she so sickly?"
The sect leader asked, puzzled, "He's sick. He must look unwell. Can't you tell?"
...It's not that I can't see it, I just thought it was caused by something else.
Everyone could only explain it to themselves.
The little boy looked at the sect leader and said, "Then sect leader, please go and treat him quickly."
The sect leader sighed and said, "I see. Little Dou, you do have excellent leadership skills."
Qi Dou's surname is the imperial surname. If his real name were revealed, his identity would be self-evident. Therefore, in the Frost Cold Sect, his name is Gongsun Dou.
Gongsun Dou replied, "This disciple only hopes to meet the sect leader's expectations."
The sect leader smiled and said, "Little Dou, there's no need to pursue perfection so much. Everyone has their own destiny, and your destiny is not in my hands."
Gongsun Dou looked at the sect leader in silence, then cupped his hands and said, "Yes."
The sect leader said, "Alright, it's getting late, everyone should go back and rest."
Upon hearing this, everyone cupped their hands and said, "Yes, disciples take their leave."
After everyone had left, the sect leader asked, "Mu Shang Mu Sui, what do you all think of Xiao Dou?"
Mu Shang said, "He is fit for the position."
In his later years, he said, "It can bear its weight."
The sect leader nodded and said, "Yes, Xiao Dou has been here for half a year now, it's time to begin."
The sect leader then went to Ningbing Pavilion where Li Xingyi was. As soon as he entered the room, Mu Dong bowed his head and said, "Sect Leader."
The sect leader's name is Han Sheng, a cold and aloof name, but he is not cold at all. Everyone in the sect feels that Han Sheng's name and his personality do not match at all, but Han Sheng feels that as long as his name matches the sect, that's fine. Besides, he can try to be a little more aloof.
Han Sheng looked at Li Xingyi lying on the bed and said, "Give her a medicinal bath, and I'll give her a Rejuvenation Pill."
After saying that, he sighed and said, "I really feel sorry for my pills."
The Rejuvenation Pill is not easy to make, but it has the function of making people clear-headed and restoring the body to its original state. When combined with a medicinal bath, it can calm the mind.
As winter deepened and the year drew to a close, the medicinal bath was prepared as instructed. Li Xingyi was then removed from his clothes and gently placed into the bath tub.
Han Sheng took out a Rejuvenation Pill from her body. She gently pinched Li Xingyi's cheeks, and Li Xingyi's lips parted slightly. Han Sheng then put the Rejuvenation Pill into his mouth.
The Rejuvenation Pill melted quickly in Li Xingyi's mouth. After a while, Li Xingyi slightly opened her eyes and quietly looked at the five people in front of her.
Seeing this, Han Sheng said, "You should have heard everything, so I won't say any more. My name is Han Sheng, and from today onwards I will be your master. The apprenticeship ceremony will begin tomorrow."
After hearing this, Li Xingyi lowered his eyes and recalled everything about Li Hehua.
Before Li Hehua entered the palace, she sat on a chair holding little Li Xingyi and said with a smile, "Although Xingyi never smiles, he is very handsome. This personality also highlights Xingyi's temperament. In the future, many people will definitely knock on the door to ask for Xingyi's hand in marriage."
Little Li Xingyi looked at her quietly without saying a word.
Once, Li Hehua took Li Xingyi to build a snowman in the snow. Li Xingyi stood by with an umbrella and saw Li Hehua laughing as she built the snowman. She said, "Auntie, why are you laughing so happily? It's so cold."
Li Hehua smiled and said, "Because I'm happy. It's cold, but that's the fun of winter. Xingyi, aren't you happy? Or do you just not understand?"
Li Xingyi said, "I don't know, I don't see anything to be happy about."
later.
"...You can be happy." These were Lee Ho-wah's last words.
Li Xingyi recalled Li Hehua's life from beginning to end, from her first meeting to her death.
At this moment, Li Xingyi slowly got out of the bathtub and put on the white clothes next to her. The clothes fit perfectly and were probably prepared for Li Xingyi.
She was dressed in white, with long hair reaching her waist. Her belt bore the Frostbite Sect's badge, which was entirely white with a light blue bead and white tassels hanging below. Li Xingyi's indifferent demeanor, combined with this outfit, made her look like an ice queen.
Li Xingyi cupped his hands to Han Sheng and said, "Thank you for healing me, Master. I will study hard with you from now on."
Although Li Xingyi didn't know why Han Sheng was unwilling to tell the truth to his family, or about his apprenticeship and sect leadership, he still didn't ask.
Only by being cautious and careful in everything can we move forward steadily. Perhaps Han Sheng will tell Li Xingyi all this first, or perhaps he can only find the answer himself.
Seeing this, Han Sheng smiled and said, "Not bad, not bad. You will be a good prospect. Cold as ice is your advantage. Frost Cold Sect will always be your home."
She then gently helped Li Xingyi up, and Li Xingyi lowered his hands and straightened up, saying, "This disciple understands."
After hearing this, Han Sheng turned around and said, "Rest early. I'm leaving now. If you need anything, you can ask Mu Dong and the others. It will be more convenient to ask Mu Dong. You can also come to Lu Lin Palace to find me. Mu Dong and the others live in Lu Lin Palace. Lu Lin Palace is right next to Ning Bing Pavilion. Your people are in the room next to this one."
Li Xingyi said calmly, "Yes."
Then everyone stepped outside. At this moment, Han Sheng seemed to remember something, stopped and smiled, "Disciple, happy birthday."
Li Xingyi was taken aback for a moment, then said, "Thank you, Master."
Han Sheng smiled and left with his entourage.
After everyone left, Li Xingyi glanced around the room.
...The house is nice.
The room is large and the furnishings are elegantly arranged. There is a bed in the middle of the room, and a screen is placed not far in front of the bed. Outside the screen are soft seats and a low table, on which is a zither.
Below the window, there was a table with the Four Treasures of the Study on it, and lilies of the valley by the window. The lilies of the valley swayed gently in the evening breeze, and the breeze seemed to carry the sound of silver bells.
Li Xingyi walked closer to take a look, seemingly particularly interested in the lily of the valley flower. She said, "Happiness returns, a very beautiful flower language."
Li Xingyi slightly raised his eyes and saw the moon in the sky. The moon was crescent-shaped, and the moonlight shone on the earth. Li Xingyi's thoughts returned to the day before Li Hehua entered the palace.
Li Xingyi said calmly, "Aunt, you won't see me after you enter the palace."
Although Li Xingyi is cold and aloof, it doesn't mean she doesn't care about her family. She is just a six-year-old child who doesn't want to be separated from her aunt and is worried that Li Hehua will be bullied if she enters the palace.
After understanding what she meant, Li Hehua said gently, "Xingyi, this is not something your aunt can decide. If Xingyi misses his aunt, he should look up at the moon. The moon that your aunt and Xingyi are looking at is the same one, so let's just say we've met."
Now, Li Xingyi quietly gazed at the moon in the sky, and finally shed a tear. The tear fell on the lily of the valley, and the lily of the valley trembled slightly. If you listened carefully, you could hear a faint silver bell sound, as if it were responding to Li Xingyi.
On the seventh day of the seventh month of the fourth year of Dewei, Li Xingyi became a disciple of the Frost Cold Sect, which was also her seventh birthday.
