Chapter 28: Meeting a Moonlit Guest on Guard Night
Are you so happy when you first see the lotus pod?
The lotus pods were picked from the pond in Geng Jihuan's backyard where spiritual plants were grown. She had too many, and her disciples didn't like to eat them, and Geng Jihuan was a lazy guy.
Too lazy to pick lotus pods, too lazy to eat them.
Bai Yunshu collected them all. When he was bored, he would peel some lotus seeds to pass the time. He would use the ones he couldn't eat to cook, so as not to waste any.
"call--"
Bai Yunshu exhaled a breath of foul air and found that the pain all over his body was relieved a little.
The backlash has slowly subsided.
She leaned against the window, looking at the scenery outside, to relax.
She actually doesn't like staying in the house very much, and always feels depressed if she stays there for too long.
Bai Yunshu wondered whether Yin Huan had gone down the mountain. Could it be that he couldn't hold it back?
Probably not. If she was still on the peak, she would be able to feel it.
The image of Yin Huan's smile as she left with the lotus pod in her arms kept flashing through her mind.
After hesitating for a long time, Bai Yunshu made a decision.
Forget it, I'll go out and take a look, and supervise how these disciples are practicing.
On the Guchun Peak, Yan Weiwan flew his sword and searched twice in the direction where Yin Huan disappeared, but he couldn't find anyone.
She looked anxious, wondering how that person could have disappeared without a trace.
"Yin Huan! Where are you?"
Her call went unanswered, but it did attract the attention of other disciples.
Yan Weiwan didn't care and continued shouting.
"That's weird! He was clearly heading this way. Could he have lost his balance and fallen down?"
She lay on the edge of the cliff and looked down. Before she looked up, she heard an urgent call suddenly.
"Yan Weiwan! Get out of the way!"
It was Yin Huan's voice.
Yan Weiwan hurriedly looked up and saw Yin Huan coming from nowhere, standing on the sword and swaying, holding a large bunch of green unknown objects in his hand, and coming towards him quickly.
She quickly rolled to the side.
The Yin Huan Sword landed close to the ground where she had just been lying. Due to inertia, she staggered off the sword and almost fell.
Yin Huan took several steps forward before steadying himself, then turned his head to speak to Yan Weiwan.
"Luckily you hid quickly! I heard you calling me from far away, don't worry!"
When she was going down the mountain, she made up her mind, controlled the sword with her mind, and jumped up herself.
After all, she had learned a lot before, and this time she was finally able to control the direction, but there were still some difficulties in the finishing stage.
Yan Weiwan narrowed his eyes, got up and spoke angrily.
"I thought you fell in. If you come any later, I'll ask Elder Yue Daiyuan to rescue you! You'll be scolded!"
Of course, she just said this in anger. She was naturally happy that Yin Huan was fine.
She looked at what was in Yin Huan's hand.
"Is that a lotus pod in your hand? Where did you get it? Elder Geng Jihuan seemed to have said before that we are not allowed to tamper with the flowers and plants in the sect."
If you are discovered, you will be punished to copy the sect rules.
Although the sect rules are not long, Elder Geng recites them a hundred times.
Hearing her ask that, Yin Huan raised his head proudly.
"Elder Ying Su gave it to me specially and asked me to distribute it to everyone. I'll give it to you first."
She picked out two top-quality lotus pods and handed them to Yan Weiwan.
She is the best at picking lotus pods. The surface is emerald green without black spots, the pods are firm and fresh, and the lotus seeds are not bitter and are easy to peel and eat.
Yan Weiwan took it.
"It's rare that you have a conscience and think of me first."
Yin Huan snorted.
"After all, some people were afraid I'd die, so they were screaming in worry, lying on the side with their butts sticking out."
Yan Weiwan: “…”
"Your mouth should be sewn shut. It would be much better if you were mute."
She looked regretful. Yin Huan gave her a cold look and walked away to distribute lotus pods to other disciples.
The other disciples came over, and after Yin Huan explained, everyone happily accepted it.
After all, they don’t have snacks to eat on weekdays, and Bai Yunshu is like a timely help, soothing the tired minds of the disciples.
After distributing the lotus pods, she came back and sat with Yan Weiwan and started peeling her own lotus pods.
She peeled them one by one and put them aside. Seeing her meticulousness, Yan Weiwan reached out quietly to steal one, but was discovered by Yin Huan.
Yin Huan directly whipped it up with the lotus pole.
"oops!"
Yan Weiwan quickly withdrew his hand.
"Stingy, wouldn't it be more convenient to put it in there and eat one by one while peeling it?"
"Don't worry about me, I just like to peel them all off and hold them in my hands."
She did her own thing, skillfully and quickly, until everything was peeled off.
Looking at the pile of round little lotus seeds, her eyes were filled with joy.
She has that habit so that she doesn't have to make an effort when she wants to eat.
She threw the peeled lotus seeds into the air, then opened her mouth and caught them steadily.
It was soft and sticky in her mouth, and she squinted her eyes.
It has to be said that Elder Geng Jihuan's backyard is full of spiritual energy, and even the lotus seeds reveal a hint of spiritual energy.
Yan Weiwan suddenly thought of something.
"Did Elder Ying Su give you this lotus pod? Isn't it on Mu Sheng Peak? Could it be that you just lost control of your sword and flew to Mu Sheng?"
"cough."
Yin Huan coughed awkwardly.
"How could that be? I was just passing by on my sword, and she saw me and called me..."
She still remembers the awkwardness when the two looked at each other, and the fragrance mixed with the smell of blood at the tip of her nose.
She has always been sensitive to the smell of blood, and her heart tightened when she smelled it.
By the way, isn't it because I was too heavy that she suffered internal injuries?
Yin Huan's eyes wandered as he looked at his own figure.
It's still in a dry state now. I don't have anything I want, but it's not too serious.
Why was she vomiting blood? Was there something wrong with her?
She couldn't figure it out, so she threw another lotus seed and then held it firmly in her mouth.
Yan Weiwan suddenly stepped forward and put his arm around her shoulders.
"Still pretending, do you think I believe you? Don't worry, I'm not laughing at you. Let's go, it's late, let's go back to the dormitory and sleep."
Yin Huan looked at her with a look of "Believe it or not."
Anyway, everyone assumed that Bai Yunshu gave her special treatment, after all, she was the only one who went to Musheng Peak.
The girls left together, accompanied by the bright moon and stars. There was no lack of laughter and joy along the way. They were full of energy and looked forward to tomorrow's journey together.
Bai Yunshu sat on the roof, concealing his figure and breath, and watched them return to the bedroom.
She tilted her head and thought about her hometown, with a huge full moon behind her.
Is it a coincidence?
She didn't want to think about it, after all, it was a very brain-consuming thing.
Just as her mind was empty, a female voice came to her ears.
"Elder Yingsu, it seems you are not on duty today."
Yue Daiyuan was standing not far behind her, wearing a black dress, with her ponytail tied up high. The red headband used to tie her hair was fluttering in the wind. She had a frank look in her eyes and was holding a glass of wine in her hand.
She always drinks when she is on duty, and was a little surprised when she suddenly saw Bai Yunshu.
She looked at Bai Yunshu, and Bai Yunshu consciously patted the seat next to him.
"Good evening, Elder Yue. I'm just here to enjoy the scenery. Would you like to sit down and chat?"
She set her eyes on Yue Daiyuan's wine, and Yue Daiyuan knew what bad idea she was up to.
Yue Daiyuan spoke tentatively.
"The night is long and lonely, would you like a drink?"
Bai Yunshu chuckled.
"That's exactly what I meant!"
Although Yue Daiyuan could be as fierce as she could be in front of the disciples, she always greeted them with a smile in front of the elders including Bai Yunshu.
After all, if you are not serious in front of students, how can you have authority and how can you discipline those people who are at an active age?
