Chapter 131 Qingquan's Choice
The girl was teaching a child, so Qingquan simply found a small stool and sat in a corner of the classroom to listen to the class.
There were not many teachers in each village, and they were busy with their own things when they were not teaching, so the girl did not find someone else to teach for her.
By the time the class was over, it was sunset.
The girl did not invite Qingquan to stay in her home. Before marriage, a woman is not allowed to invite a man to do so, as it is against the rules.
"You should go home soon..." The girl said goodbye to Qingquan with a guilty look on her face.
Qingquan is not an ordinary person, and it will only take a few breaths for him to return to Sanxi Village.
After a month of twists and turns, the two finally happened to meet.
During this month, Qingquan made sufficient preparations, read a lot of books on how to pursue women, and accumulated a lot of theoretical experience.
The first date was very successful and the relationship between the two became much closer.
When they parted again, Qingquan also experienced what humans call the pain of lovesickness.
In this age when only letters can express emotions, everyone's love is sincere and simple.
As soon as Qingquan finished his work, he secretly ran to Dajiang Village to spy on the girl. He didn't dare to show up every day, for fear that the girl would think he had ulterior motives.
The girl also wanted to see Qingquan, but she had to go to class from sunrise to sunset every day, so she had no time to go to Sanxi Village.
The two of them only have one day each month when they can stop doing other things and stay together wholeheartedly.
…….
One year later.
The girl's parents noticed Qingquan and they were also satisfied with this young man.
He urged the girl to get married to Qingquan, and Qingquan went to propose marriage with the betrothal gifts.
The girl agreed, and Qingquan was overjoyed.
He couldn't describe this kind of happiness. It was even happier than when he had experienced a breakthrough in his cultivation.
"Ning Ruoxi, I'm getting married!" Qingquan excitedly shared his joy with Ning Ruoxi.
Ning Ruoxi said lightly, "Congratulations."
Of course, Qingquan didn't expect Ning Ruoxi to say anything special.
The wedding was very grand. Qingquan's side had no elders, so they finally invited Carpenter Li, who taught him the craft, to act as his elder.
Looking at the packed guest seats, Ning Ruoxi used his telepathy to see clearly into everyone's heart.
No one present had any ill will towards the newlyweds.
Lin Shuang couldn't help but sneered: "How ridiculous! They say that the Buddha cultivates the six senses to purify them."
“But when you walked out of the Six-way Buddha Hall, many Buddhist disciples were full of hostility towards you. They clearly didn’t know you at all, and you had no interactions with them on a daily basis.”
"Here, Qingquan is not familiar with every villager, but the villagers here all expressed their blessings for their marriage."
"The road to immortality is filled with a lot more wind and sand than the mortal world. It's blinding!"
After Qingquan and the girl got married, he moved to the girl's home. This was the request of the girl's parents. Qingquan lived alone in Sanxi Village anyway and was lonely on weekdays.
After moving to Dajiang Village, Qingquan and the girl could see each other every day, and their feelings did not fade despite the increase in the number of meetings.
Another three years passed.
Qingquan's wife successfully gave birth to a son, and both wife and child are healthy.
Qingquan cried. The young life in his arms inexplicably moved him to tears. He suddenly realized his father's love and care for him, and he missed Qingyan.
"What do you think I should name my child?" Qingquan asked Ning Ruoxi in a low voice outside the house.
The girl had fallen asleep on the bed in the room. Her father was holding the child beside her, and her mother was taking care of her.
Ning Ruoxi thought for a moment and said, "You are the child's father, you should choose the name yourself."
"Well...then let's call him Qingran!"
Ning Ruoxi didn't understand the meaning of this name, but she didn't say much.
"Let's not talk about it for now. I'm going to go accompany her!" Qingquan suddenly woke up and realized that his wife still needed care, so he hurried back to the house.
The baby's cry is proof that he has come to this new world.
at night.
Qingquan found Ning Ruoxi carrying a wine jug. Ning Ruoxi lived in the house that Qingquan had built in Sanxi Village before.
"Come, drink!"
"Don't you need to accompany your wife and children?" Ning Ruoxi asked Qingquan.
Qingquan took a sip of wine and said, "Of course they fell asleep, so I came out to look for you."
"Ning Ruoxi, I've thought about it. I want to stay here and wait for Yanran to pass away before I go back to the East China Sea."
Yanran, Lin Yanran, is the name of Qingquan’s wife.
Qingquan made the same choice as Qingyan. He wanted to stay and accompany his wife until her death, instead of taking his children back to Donghai now.
"Aren't you afraid?" Ning Ruoxi asked slowly.
"What are you afraid of?" Qingquan pretended not to understand and asked back.
Ning Ruoxi continued, "Watching your wife grow old little by little, will you still love her as much as when you were young?"
"Can you watch her die without intervening?"
Ning Ruoxi actually knew what Qingquan did in private. Qingquan once secretly bought spirit stones to test Lin Yanran's spiritual roots. Unfortunately, Lin Yanran did not have any spiritual roots and was destined to have no chance of becoming an immortal.
Destined to face birth, aging, sickness and death.
Qingquan was silent. He couldn't face Ning Ruoxi's question.
After a long while, he said, "Even if her appearance is no longer the same as before, I will still love her as before."
"As for her life span, I will also find a way."
"But have you ever considered her feelings?" Ning Ruoxi asked on behalf of Lin Shuang.
"What do you feel?"
"Your appearance remains the same, but hers has aged. She will feel that she is not worthy of you."
"I heard that you human alchemists have a kind of elixir called Yirong Pill, which can make me older too."
The disguise pill only changes the appearance seen by the naked eye, but the true appearance of the person who takes the pill can still be seen by using spiritual sense.
"What about Yanshou? Is living a lingering life what she wants?" After Ning Ruoxi asked this question, Qingquan remained silent for a long time.
His thoughts went back to a long time ago when he watched his mother gradually die in front of him.
Qingquan asked Qingyan why he didn't save his mother.
Qing Yan's answer was, "In the mortal world, dying of old age is a happy funeral. Forcibly extending your mother's life would be torture for her. The story between your mother and I should also come to an end."
"We can't stay in the mortal realm forever. The Qingluan tribe still needs us to go back."
Qingquan thought about it all night and finally figured it out.
He no longer thought about extending Lin Yanran's life, but instead accompanied Lin Yanran through her life as a mortal.
"Ning Ruoxi, I have completed my work, and you have been guarding me for so long, go and do your own thing!" Qingquan thought that Ning Ruoxi stayed in Sanxi Village to protect him. Now that the most important link has passed, Qingquan felt that there was no need for Ning Ruoxi to guard him anymore.
In fact, Ning Ruoxi was gaining insights into the mortal world.
