Chapter 223: A Warm and Cozy Life
If the little disciple agreed, then during these three months, she would belong completely to him, both physically and mentally.
The relationship between the two will develop in the direction of a Taoist couple, no, it is completely a Taoist couple, and she will conquer her little by little.
Judging from Ningzhu's personality, she must have her own reasons for agreeing to this.
It’s just that she doesn’t dare to admit it now. What I have to do is to guide her and seduce her along the way.
During this period, she would talk to her little disciple about becoming a Taoist couple.
Since I can't be with you for the rest of your life, I will let you remember me for the rest of your life. My shadow will be in your life, in your memory, and in the years to come, the kind that you can never forget no matter how hard you try.
Xiao Ningzhu, since you want to leave so much, how can I not help you? But if I really let you go, what should I do if you start crying?
I'm taking a gamble. You'll regret it and become so crazy that you'll come looking for me in person.
Bai Yunshu already had a rough idea in his mind. After Qi Ningzhu agreed, he smiled sincerely, touched her head, and discussed it with her.
"Does what my little disciple said before still count? You said that after I come back, you and I will become Taoist partners. So, how about we become Taoist partners now and then separate after three months?"
She mentioned the matter of a Taoist partner. Qi Ningzhu looked at her transformation and felt her hand gently stroking his head, feeling uneasy.
It's so strange. The person who was so arrogant and domineering just now is now as gentle as water, and his words are full of humble requests.
She glanced at Bai Yunshu, not knowing whether to agree or not.
Reject? But I just promised her that I would pretend to like her. It seems that the first step to liking someone is to pamper her unconditionally.
But would she agree? The Daoist couple's agreement was difficult to resolve, and she wasn't a fool, so how could she agree so easily?
Seeing that she was hesitating, Bai Yunshu gently held her hand, rested his head on her shoulder, and spoke humbly.
"It will only take three months... After three months, you and I will be the most familiar strangers. I will no longer appear in your life to disturb you. The promise of being a Taoist companion will naturally end. I just don't want to leave any regrets, Ningzhu..."
She gave this assurance to the best of her ability. Qi Ningzhu blinked, felt her embrace, nodded stiffly, and then immediately shook his head after realizing what was happening.
No, I can't be bewitched by her.
What does Bai Yunshu want to do?
I don't know why, but when these words came out of her mouth, I felt inexplicably pitiful. She must have been pretending.
"Give me a few more days, I'll think about it. When I want to get married, I'll bring it up myself."
She nestled in Bai Yunshu's arms and spoke in a muffled voice. Bai Yunshu clenched his fists tightly in his sleeves, but his tone softened.
"Okay, I'll wait for you."
Qi Ningzhu raised his head from her arms and looked out the window.
I don’t know when the snow will stop. I have slept for too long and want to go out for a walk.
Her eyes were full of longing, and her cheeks suddenly felt soft.
Bai Yunshu took advantage of her inattention and kissed her on the cheek, and asked her
"My little disciple, do you want to go out for a walk?"
Bai Yunshu had already noticed her intention.
Qi Ningzhu was confused by her sudden response, and then nodded embarrassedly.
Bai Yunshu smiled.
"That's easy."
She raised her hand and cast a formation to stop the snow and let the sun shine into the courtyard.
Joy flashed in Qi Ningzhu's eyes. She got up immediately, put on her shoes and walked outside.
It wasn't cold, but it didn't feel real either.
Bai Yunshu followed behind her, quietly looking at her back.
She wore a green plum blossom in her hair, which made her look even more pure and detached, but there was a trace of sadness between her brows.
Qi Ningzhu turned his head slightly to look at her, and spoke after a long time.
"Thank you... Master."
Qi Ningzhu always felt a little uncomfortable calling him Master now, but since Bai Yunshu asked her to do so, she just pretended that what happened before had never happened.
Bai Yunshu was very satisfied with her words and replied naturally, "You're welcome. It's my duty as a Master."
Just a small trick.
Qi Ningzhu did not respond to Bai Yunshu's words. She bathed in the light alone, looking at everything around her that was familiar yet unfamiliar, and felt that time was wearing away her.
Many things from five hundred years ago are no longer easily remembered. They have become blurry, as if covered by a layer of fog that cannot be cleared.
In the following days, the two of them tacitly agreed to get along as a couple.
One day, somehow, she found herself sitting in Bai Yunshu's arms.
Bai Yunshu held her hand and sat at the desk, writing down the obscure Heart Sutra bit by bit.
"These are what I have learned throughout my life. There is much that I haven't had the chance to teach you yet. I am writing them down now as an explanation to myself."
She looked down at the contents, which she had never been able to access before.
Qi Ningzhu looked at Bai Yunshu intently and felt that something was wrong with him, but he couldn't put his finger on it.
"Master, I can't learn much in three months..."
The implication was that there was no need to teach in such detail, and that she would be gone in three months and would most likely not practice the Way of the Common People again.
I am selfish, and this path is not suitable for me at all.
Bai Yunshu's hands did not stop.
She guessed that Qi Ningzhu would say that.
"It's okay, you can take it and learn it slowly. It's okay if you don't learn it. Please give it to someone who is destined to learn it. These things should not be lost."
She wrote seriously, and Qi Ningzhu didn't spoil her fun anymore, letting her hand lead his own.
She suddenly became curious about where Baiyun would go after she left.
"Master, where will you go after I leave?"
Bai Yunshu thought about it and answered truthfully.
"After you leave...I won't go anywhere. I will stay here forever."
Just like back then, the timid girl had been hiding in Musheng Peak.
Qi Ningzhu lowered his eyes
"It would be lonely... wouldn't it?"
Bai Yunshu said everything was fine.
"If I really feel lonely, I will find another disciple. I will stay with whoever stays with me and I will love him."
She said it very frankly. Qi Ningzhu looked at her sideways suddenly, and some words were about to come out.
Doesn't your statement that you will only accept one disciple in this life mean anything anymore?
It doesn’t count if it doesn’t count. It’s not very important anyway. In three months, Bai Yunshu will have nothing to do with me.
"Really?"
She asked gloomily, and noticing that Qi Ningzhu was in a bad mood, Bai Yunshu put down his pen.
"Really? What's wrong?"
Qi Ningzhu stared at her, trying to find evidence of lying in her eyes.
But Bai Yunshu was just indifferent.
She mentioned Bai Yunshu's scar unhappily.
"But Tao Yiye, Geng Jihuan and the others have been with you for so long, why don't you love them? And Nan Lezhi, Yue Daiyuan and the others have also been with you for a long time..."
Anyway, it’s longer than the time I spent with you.
When Bai Yunshu heard her mention his senior sister, he smiled, but there was a hint of bitterness in his smile.
