Chapter 255: The gap is always hard to break
What's more, Geng Jihuan doesn't like to join in the fun now. He is becoming more and more like the sect leader of the past. He just likes to look through and deal with Xuanying's affairs alone in the hall.
After Tao Yiye left, Geng Jihuan finally became like her, guarding Xuan Yingzong alone, with all expectations placed on herself. She shed her vigorous youth and became mature and steady.
"She asked me if Qi Ningzhu would come to the wedding banquet. I told her she would come, after all, Qi Ningzhu is my disciple's best friend. The Sect Master didn't say anything else, just sighed and left."
Hearing Nan Lezhi say that, Bai Yunshu lowered his head and stopped talking, his eyes filled with sorrow, like a withered crabapple blossom after the rain.
How to face it... Although her senior sister told her that she didn't care, after all, he was the person her senior sister had liked for so many years and they grew up together. It would be too sad for her to make a decision.
Now everyone is happy, but her love is incomplete. If I rashly go to find my senior sister, will she be a little happier when she knows that I am still alive?
She couldn't help but think in her mind, and then there was a knock on the door.
"Mom, Aunt Nan, you've been chatting for a long time. We brought you some delicious food. Why don't you come out and eat something before going back in to continue chatting?"
Qi Nianyun's soft voice came from outside. Nan Lezhi and Bai Yunshu looked at each other and smiled subconsciously.
Nan Lezhi was more or less envious.
After putting down the wine glass, she tilted her head and stared at Bai Yunshu before speaking.
"This little fellow of yours is so cute and lovable. He looks like you and has the same cheerful and lively personality as you did back then. Would you mind letting me take him back to the peak to play for a few days?"
When Bai Yunshu heard that she wanted to kidnap his daughter, he rolled his eyes at her.
"You wish. Even if I agree, her mother will definitely not agree. But if Ningzhu agrees, it's okay for you to take her over for a few days. Xuanying Sect is also her mother's family. I'm afraid my senior sister hasn't met her yet."
In this way, she and her little disciple can enjoy some time together during the festival.
Nan Lezhi guessed what was in her mind, and with a light "tsk", he continued speaking along with her words.
"That's not certain. I'll ask Qi Ningzhu if she'll give it to me. Don't worry, among the new disciples this year, there are several of her age, so they will definitely get along well. I really don't know if the Sect Master has seen her."
She probably understood Bai Yunshu's meaning. Bai Yunshu wanted to take Qi Nianyun to Xuanying Sect and let her senior sister see her.
Looking at the child, Geng Jihuan would probably feel a little better and no longer so depressed. If Nianyun could stay with her for a while longer, it would be even better.
Nan Lezhi couldn't help feeling a little emotional when thinking about the little guy Qi Nianyun.
"Speaking of which, when Qi Ningzhu was young, she was always in trouble. She had the highest talent in the sect, but she also received the most punishments. She was always restless. If Nianyun were older, I'm afraid she would also give you and Qi Ningzhu a headache for a while."
Nan Lezhi teased Bai Yunshu's precious daughter, but Bai Yunshu said that this was wrong.
"Nianyun is very well behaved. Although Ningzhu and I were both naughty when we were young, we never did anything earth-shattering. At most, we would skip classes, fight, steal some magical herbs, pick some lotus seeds, or go down the mountain to listen to folk songs and gossip..."
Bai Yunshu talked about these embarrassing things endlessly, and laid out all the bad things he did when he was young.
This didn't seem like a big deal to Bai Yunshu, but Nan Lezhi signaled her to stop, as she felt a headache after hearing it.
"Enough, enough. Just listening to what you said gives me a headache, not to mention that I'm the teaching elder. When I was teaching your apprentice before, there was never a single day that I could rest easy. You even lost a lot of spirit stones for this."
When Bai Yunshu paid for the spirit stones, he had a smile on his face that was uglier than crying. He even secretly calculated how long his spirit stones could be wasted by his apprentice and whether he should go out to earn some extra money.
But it’s different now. Bai Yunshu is now in the stage where his lover sees beauty in everything, and he immediately refutes Nan Lezhi.
"Children, of course, make mistakes. I actually think everything Ningzhu did back then was very cute, and very much in line with the word 'youth'. After all, there's no one in this world who is perfect. Of course, my disciple is perfect now."
Nan Lezhi: “…”
She held his hand and drank with him, then slowly told him about the past, saying that Bai Yunshu was hypocritical in both explicit and implicit ways.
"Really? Who was it that complained to me before about how difficult it was to train an apprentice? Who was it that complained to me that if he kept losing money, Mu Shengfeng would be sold out?"
Bai Yunshu immediately turned his head away guiltily and whispered, "How would I know who it is? It's definitely not me. Let's go, they are still waiting for us outside..."
She changed the subject at the right time, and Nan Lezhi felt that what he had just said was like talking to a cow, and he was inexplicably shown off.
Forget it, I'll go out and take a look first. My little disciple must be getting impatient waiting here.
When the two pushed the door open, Yan Weiwan was holding Qi Nianyun at the door, while Qi Ningzhu was preparing afternoon tea under the corridor on the other side.
Seeing the door open, Qi Nianyun hurriedly reached out to Bai Yunshu, asking her for a hug.
Bai Yunshu took it casually. Qi Nianyun looked at her and spoke curiously.
"Mom, we're back! What did you talk about in there for so long?"
Bai Yunshu thought about it.
"We talked about how cute Nianyun was and how she was the best behaved baby."
"Really? Mother, have you and Aunt Nan been drinking?"
Qi Nianyun was overjoyed, but he was also keenly aware of the smell of alcohol in the air.
A Niang used to drink, but she would drink alone quietly at night. After drinking, she would lie by the window and look at the moon. She would often get up and put a coat on her.
Although A Niang is a fairy and won't catch a cold, I still can't help but feel sorry for her when I see her thin back.
Bai Yunshu didn't expect that he would be discovered so quickly, and smiled awkwardly.
"I only drank a little bit. Why did my mother lie to you?"
As she was speaking, she noticed that Nan Lezhi and Yan Weiwan next to her were exchanging eye contact.
Yan Weiwan looked at his master's ears, which were a little red from drinking, and smiled silently.
Master's ears were red, but his face still looked cold and indifferent, which was a bit cute.
Nan Lezhi just stared at Yan Weiwan, his eyes sparkling, smiling without saying a word.
She took Yan Weiwan's hand and said to Bai Yunshu, "The invitation has been delivered. We are busy rushing back to decorate Changjue Peak, so we won't stay long. Little Nianyun, do you want to go to Xuanying Sect with us?"
She asked Qi Nianyun, and Qi Nianyun's eyes lit up when he heard it.
For young children, it is the age of exploration, and an unfamiliar place has a strong appeal to them.
"Okay, okay, but..."
Qi Nianyun looked at A Niang in the distance with some embarrassment.
I don’t know whether my mother would agree.
