Chapter 54: Master's Ex-Girlfriend [I]
The name "Brother Lei" made Yu Qian'an's face turn red, and it was hard to tell what his expression was.
He quickly stood up, walked to Master Mei Xi, and stretched out his hand as if wanting to hold hers, but his arm froze halfway and he retracted it.
Finally, he just smiled and said, "Come sit in the backyard."
He turned around and walked in front, while Master Mei Xi followed behind with red eyes without saying a word.
Xiao Yue'er behind Yu Qian'an and Li Xinyi behind Master Mei Xi, both girls had gossip in their eyes.
Something is happening. Absolutely something is happening.
Li Chu seemed calm, but he followed closely and told Xiao Yueer when he passed by her: "Entertain us here."
"But I..." Xiaoyue was reluctant.
Li Chu patted her head and patted back her next words.
Xiaoyue pouted in grievance. I also want to watch the fun...
You bully the fish.
The backyard of Deyun Temple.
Next to the stone well, Yu Qian'an and Master Mei Xi sat opposite each other.
He poured two cups of brewed tea, one for Master Mei Xi and one for himself.
Her movements were calm, her manners were casual and elegant, and with the cool breeze, her sleeves fluttered, her hair swayed, and her shoulders were covered with fallen leaves, an indescribable and extraordinary temperament emanated from her uncontrollably.
Master Mei Xi was stunned for a moment.
In a trance, she seemed to see... That year, the long street was full of spring, and they rode horses together, and the mist and rain were like a dream. She hid from the rain under the eaves and looked into a pair of deep eyes, just like the breeze with fine snow on Mount Hua.
ah.
The gaunt face in my memory overlaps with the wrinkled old face in front of me.
She couldn't hold back her tears anymore and cried, "Brother Lei, you are old."
"Oh, yes." Yu Qian'an smiled casually: "You are still as beautiful as ever...well, more beautiful than before."
He picked up the teacup and took a sip.
Master Mei Xi looked at Li Chu standing behind him and asked, "Is he your son? No wonder he has the demeanor of you when you were young."
"puff."
Yu Qian'an almost spit out a mouthful of tea. He quickly wiped his mouth and explained, "No, no, Li Chu is just my adopted disciple. We are not related by blood. Well...if you insist that he looks like me, I admit it. Maybe he has been influenced by me for so many years and has stolen some of my temperament."
Master Meixi burst into laughter. Li Xinyi, who was standing behind her, saw that the atmosphere had eased a little, so she put her hand on Master's shoulder and asked, "Master, why do you call Taoist Master Yu Brother Lei?"
Since she was a child in Meixizhai, she vaguely knew that her master was thinking of someone unspeakable in his heart, but she never imagined that this person was Yu Qian'an.
She had always felt that Master Li Chu was weird.
Hmm...if you want to know specifically what's wrong.
Weird color.
She was a little worried, wondering if her master had been deceived by someone.
Nun Meixi stared at Yu Qian'an and said, "Master Yu? But the name that spread throughout Hangzhou was Li Lei."
Um?
Several people looked at him curiously.
Yu Qian'an smiled awkwardly: "When traveling in the underworld, you have to prepare a few aliases. And..."
He flicked his sleeves, looked into the distance, and sighed, "People like me, no matter where I go, are always burdened by false reputations. I can't escape them even if I want to. I have no choice but to change my name every time I go to a place, so that I can have some peace and quiet."
"I have been in the Taoist sect for many years and have asked people in the Taoist sect for information about you, but no one knows. I didn't expect that you changed your name." Master Mei Xi said sadly, "I didn't expect that with such a high level of cultivation, you would hide your identity in a Taoist temple outside this small town."
Yu Qianan said: "Da Dao Temple, Xiao Dao Temple, what they practice is Taoism, what does it have to do with the temple?"
His tone was full of the demeanor of a master that could not be concealed.
Li Xinyi blinked curiously and asked in a low voice, "Is Taoist Master Yu's cultivation very high?"
She had always thought that Li Chu's master was an old man with no skills who only stared at her chest...
Of course, even if you have the ability, it will not affect your evaluation of other behaviors.
Master Mei Xi recalled: "Thirty years ago in Hangzhou, who didn't know about the Taoist priest Li Lei who suddenly appeared? He was as handsome as jade, with an unparalleled appearance. He was so eloquent that he defeated the ten great monks of Shuangfei Temple in Hangzhou. He also killed the demon in Yindang Mountain and returned on the moon with a cup of wine. It's a pity... no one has ever seen him take action, and those who have seen his supernatural powers are all dead."
Yu Qian'an waved his hand: "Let's not talk about it."
"Yes, some things are better left unsaid, but some things should always be mentioned." Master Mei Xi changed the subject and looked at me unkindly: "I have been looking for you all these years just to ask you, why did you leave without saying goodbye? Now that we meet today, I think God will give me an answer."
Yu Qian'an's eyelids twitched.
It turns out that no matter how old a woman is, she can change her face at any time...
Li Chu's pupils also shrank.
Although Master Meixi's tone was calm, he had keenly sensed the danger from it. He was afraid that if the master said something wrong next, it would immediately cause a bloody storm.
He had heard Li Xinyi mention the name of Master Mei Xi. She was a famous figure in Chaotian Palace and her cultivation was at the peak of the Dragon Transformation Realm. She was very powerful.
but……
The master's cultivation was so profound that he could naturally suppress her.
Even if a fight really breaks out, I don't need to help. As a junior, I should just watch quietly.
Yu Qian'an's throat rolled up and down several times, and after a long pause, he slowly said, "Mei'er, the reason why I left without saying goodbye that year was all because of you."
"Blame me?" Master Mei Xi was stunned.
"Since ancient times, love has only brought endless regrets, and this regret will last forever." Yu Qian'an suddenly recited two lines of poetry.
Shaking his head, he continued, "I have never been a person who likes to be bound. Your feelings for me are too many, too sincere, and too heavy. They weigh heavily on my shoulders. I am afraid that they will decrease. Even a little bit will make me heartbroken. But it has reached the top and cannot increase, it can only decrease. I am afraid. Gradually, I have been bound by this feeling."
"Instead of watching it disappear day by day, I think it's better to leave while it's still the strongest. In this way, we can both leave the deepest shadow in each other's hearts. Meeting again after so many years, we have let go of everything in our hearts. Isn't it great to sit here calmly?"
Master Meixi asked, "Have you let it go?"
Yu Qian'an smiled, looked at her with unfathomable eyes, and kept silent.
After a long while, Master Meixi looked up at the clouds in the sky and whispered, "So love will disappear, right?"
…
It was still early when the master and disciple left Deyun Temple. In fact, they didn't stay there for long.
The conversation between Master Mei Xi and Yu Qian'an consisted of only a few sentences.
But for the two people who met again after a long separation, it seemed to be enough.
After leaving the money and taking the key to the secret realm, Master Mei Xi got up and left without any reluctance to linger.
After leaving the house, Li Xinyi asked carefully, "So when Master gave me the surname Li, was it also because of him?"
Master Mei Xi's surname was Han, but after adopting her, she was named Li. She had been curious about this before.
Now that I think about it, it might have something to do with Yu Qian'an's alias.
"Yeah." Master Mei Xi didn't say much, just nodded.
“Master, you have been looking for him for so many years, how come... you just left after saying a few words?” Li Xinyi asked again.
Master Meixi smiled and said, "When I was young, I always felt that the past was full of suffering and I had to seize every opportunity. But now that I am older, I feel that there is a long time to come. Anyway, he can't leave without saying goodbye like he did back then. If he can run away from the Taoist priest, can he still run away from the temple?"
"You intend to ..."
"I plan to complete the sect's mission first, and then we'll go to Miaofeng Mountain."
Master Mei Xi turned around, and the sharp light in her eyes reappeared.
…
In Deyun Temple, Yu Qian'an twisted his beard vigorously, and for a while he was absent-minded, and kept muttering: "No, no."
After thinking for a long time, he looked up and said to Li Chu: "Disciple, how about we run away?"
Li Chu was stunned: "Didn't Master Meixi leave?"
"Alas, seeing how easily she left, I guess she didn't plan to let me go easily." Yu Qian'an sighed repeatedly.
It was the first time that Li Chu saw Yu Qian'an so flustered.
I can't help but sigh that emotional matters are too complicated and can even upset my master's mood.
Touching the fresh banknotes in my arms, I feel at ease.
Doesn’t this thing smell good?
Thanks to "黑白配i" for the reward of 5,000.
