Chapter 1251 Stop Causing Trouble
I'm impressed.
I'm speechless!
Song Chunxue suspects that Xie Zheng has lost his senses and become mentally impaired.
So, he was quiet before because he was afraid of saying the wrong thing.
Fortunately, he returned to normal the next morning.
Song Chunxue placed a bowl of hot noodle soup in front of him. He thanked her gently and didn't say anything more.
He finished his noodles slowly and deliberately, then got up and rinsed the bowl.
"Let me do it," Song Chunxue tried to stop him, but Xie Zheng insisted on washing the dishes himself. "I'll do it, you eat first."
Song Chunxue watched as he cleaned up everything on the cutting board and arranged it neatly.
Afterwards, he washed his hands, looked at Song Chunxue, and said, "I'm going out."
Song Chunxue, who had been observing him curiously, nodded in agreement, "Okay."
Watching him change into his official robes and leave, Song Chunxue breathed a sigh of relief, but also felt a little disappointed.
Humans are so contradictory.
"What are you looking at, Master?" Qi Yun walked over, holding a cat he had caught from somewhere.
"Where did you go?" Song Chunxue frowned. "You eat cats too?"
"..." Qi Yun was speechless for a moment. "I just saw the kitten by the roadside, brought it back to play with, and will return it after feeding it."
Song Chunxue nodded. Fortunately, foxes shouldn't eat cats.
Normally, people here don't eat dog meat. Only during times of extreme famine will they occasionally kill their dogs for meat, but it's rare to see them eat cat meat.
It is said that cat meat is sour.
The existence of such rumors suggests that someone has actually eaten it.
But Song Chunxue couldn't accept eating cats; they were so small, with hardly any meat on them.
She hasn't asked yet whether Qi Yun eats raw meat these days.
I've heard that some monsters still eat raw meat. After all, they eat raw food from the womb, and it takes a long time for them to cultivate into human form before they start eating cooked food.
"Master, why do you plan to go back to the countryside?" Qi Yun, holding the cat, boldly asked, taking advantage of his lack of knowledge about her past. "Logically speaking, you wouldn't like it there. For so many years, you farmed and raised children there, fighting alone. Those are all memories of hardship and difficulty."
Song Chunxue squatted down against the wall, picked up the pumpkin on the ground, and poked at it.
The morning light shines on the eaves, illuminating the blue tiles with a bright and beautiful color, and my heart feels clear as well.
“Because you can’t run away from anything. The more you run away, the more you dislike it, and it will become your weakness, your inner demon, and an insurmountable obstacle.” Song Chunxue looked up at the blue sky and white clouds. “I used to dislike it, but now I have long accepted myself back then. The place I used to dream of escaping is actually my foundation. Now, I feel most at ease there.”
Most importantly, she has made changes.
Everything around that courtyard was exactly how she liked it.
Everyone used to live there, and everyone contributed to it. Her favorite bamboo was planted there.
The old house has been repaired; the tiled windows and peeling walls have been repainted smooth.
"Fine then, can't you take me with you? I can help you with the fire and fetch water, and keep you company, is that not allowed?"
Song Chunxue looked up at him and asked, "Why do you insist on going with me? Who instructed you, or do you have some other purpose?"
"I……"
“You never intended to become my disciple in the first place. Now that so much time has passed, why are you so determined to follow me? If you have any ulterior motives, you might as well tell me now. Perhaps we can discuss it and help you achieve your goal sooner.”
Qi Yun sighed, rubbed the cat's head, and sat sadly on the steps.
“Master, so this is how you see me. I thought that after all this time, you would know that my nature is not so complicated.”
"But your owl will deliver messages to you every day, and you will also sneak out at night."
Qi Yun became anxious, "That's because I'm not human to begin with. I can only find my kind when I go out at night. Uncle Ying has recently met a female somewhere. Apart from sending a message before dawn, I can't find him at other times. I'm worried that he's been kidnapped."
Seeing that he was about to explode, Song Chunxue realized that he was serious.
"That won't work either. I just want six months of peace and quiet, without anyone by my side. Besides, I can have anyone with me, but not you."
Qi Yun stood up, and the beautiful hem of her clothes shimmered with different colors as she walked, as if the embroidery on it had come to life.
"Why?"
Song Chunxue pointed at him from head to toe, "You are too handsome and dashing. Lord Xie is worried. Although he can't remember, he is still a human being."
Mentioning this, Qi Yun smiled curiously again.
"Since you're so understanding of him, why don't you spend these last few days getting closer to him? Anyway, you two..."
Song Chunxue shook her head, "I can't explain this to a silly fox like you. You wouldn't understand."
"Master, you underestimate me. How could I not understand?"
Song Chunxue touched the jade thumb ring on her hand. "So you think that if you like someone, you have to be physically intimate to prove that you are the closest people?"
"..." Although Qi Yun felt that it wasn't entirely true, what would be the point of two people if there was no love between them?
"So, this is also where Lord Xie misunderstands me now. He has lost his emotional connection and is very oblivious in this regard." Song Chunxue smiled as she watched the sunlight slide inch by inch through the window. "Therefore, Lord Xie is the best man I have ever met. He is still himself."
"Is he even better than Master Zhang?" Qi Yun asked enthusiastically. "I think Master Zhang..."
"Thump!"
Song Chunxue smacked him with a stick, "Stop trying to play matchmaker. If you have nothing better to do, go find some female foxes. I already have children and grandchildren, and now I'm focused on the Dao. Stop causing me trouble."
