Chapter 122: Sect Competition
He noticed her abnormal behavior today and probably knew why, but she didn't want to say it, so he didn't ask and waited for her to be willing to speak.
After comforting her with a kiss, Chu Tingbai had to leave no matter how reluctant he was, otherwise his face would become clumpy.
"Wait for me here, otherwise the noodles will become clumpy and won't taste good."
He gently pressed her moist lips with his fingers, and spoke in a low and hoarse voice against her forehead.
"Okay." She responded softly, taking her hand off his shoulder.
Fortunately, the delay was not too long, and the noodles were just a little lumpy, and the taste was still very good.
After they finished eating, they sat on the sofa. Chu Tingbai held her in his arms, gently stroking her back with one hand and stroking her hair with the other hand on her head.
Qing Yanrou nestled in his arms, closing her eyes slightly as she enjoyed his caress.
"Bai Xinyi came to me today and said that the Bai family had fallen? I remember that the Bai family still had a few years of good fortune."
She probably already knew what was going on, but she still wanted to hear him tell her in person.
"Yeah, I did."
Chu Tingbai's voice seemed steady and without fluctuations, but how could Qing Yanrou, who was nestled in his arms, not feel the tension in his muscles?
“All I want to say is, well done!”
She raised her head from his arms and kissed his chin.
Her action made his tense heart relax instantly. Although he knew she would not blame him, he was still a little nervous when it really came to this moment.
The hand on top of her head exerted a little force to pull her back into his arms and stop her from making any trouble.
"If I had been faster today, would Liu Yuanyuan have survived?"
Although what Liu Yuanyuan did was incomprehensible to her, it was a living being after all, and she still felt a little emotional when she saw it jump off the building right in front of her.
"But that might be her best fate. Even if she survives, she will still live in pain and regret every day."
"So, don't blame yourself. You did a great job from the beginning to the end."
In his opinion, Liu Yuanyuan simply chose a way that would best relieve herself to solve the problem.
She couldn't bear the guilt surrounding her day and night, so she chose the way she thought was best to make up for her mistakes.
This only frees oneself and once again brings pain to the living.
Sad and selfish.

The next day was the weekend and they both had time, so he could finally take her to the amusement park.
"I want to ride the roller coaster, the pendulum..."
She was talking about all the exciting activities, so he took her hand and took her to buy tickets for the roller coaster.
There were not many people playing at this time, and there were only two of them in this round, so they sat in the first row.
"Are you nervous?"
Noticing that his hands were firmly clasped on the armrest beside him, she turned her head slightly to look at him and asked.
"No."
At this time, the roller coaster had started to move slowly. Qing Yanrou looked at him carefully, and found nothing wrong, so she ignored him and looked around with a little excitement.
The car slowly climbed to the highest point, which was ninety degrees vertical, and then came the most exciting part.
'boom--'
The sudden feeling of weightlessness made her close her eyes tightly, purse her lips, and hold on to the handrail tightly with both hands.
Both of them were extremely quiet, and those few seconds seemed to them like a century.
When Qing Yanrou got out of the car, her legs were a little weak, and she only had some strength thanks to Chu Tingbai holding her. At this time, she no longer had the excitement and anticipation she had just had.
"Still playing?"
Seeing that her face was a little pale, he asked softly. He had never played it before and was a little nervous, but he felt okay after sitting down.
She just didn't look very good.
"No, I want to ride the carousel."
Her voice was a little dizzy. She thought that she was trying these exciting rides because of Han Nianlu's brainwashing. Now that she had experienced them herself, she only wanted to ride the carousel, which Han Nianlu thought was the most boring.
"good."
In the end, Qing Yanrou concluded that she was not suitable for amusement parks. She could not stand anything too stimulating, and anything too gentle was boring.
"I am still suitable for practicing talisman drawing."
The two returned to Tianfu Street early and bought a lot of vegetables.
At this moment, she was slumped on the sofa and sighing, then she took out her mobile phone and logged in.
[Dear fellow Taoists, the first half of this year's Taoist assessment will be moved forward to April 10th, and the sect competition will be moved forward to April 25th. Please be informed.]
Before she had time to read the private messages and comments, she saw this post on the homepage of the app.
She looked at the date and saw that today was the 9th, so it must be tomorrow.
"Chu Tingbai, go take the Taoist certificate exam tomorrow."
The person who was massaging her legs replied without even looking up: "Okay."
He had heard her talk about the Taoist certificate before, but at that time he had just started to learn metaphysics, and the time for the Taoist examination had passed, so he never went.
"What is this sect's sparring about?"
When she saw something unclear, she frowned slightly and whispered to herself, then switched to WeChat to find Bai Yi.
Qing Xiaorou: What is the competition among sects?
The most handsome boy in the Bai family: Each school and sect selects outstanding disciples to compete. In previous years, they were friendly exchanges and communication with each other, but there seems to be a change this year.
Qing Xiaorou: What changes?
The most handsome boy in the Bai family: I heard from my master that it seems that the Yin-Yang Taoism in Country R wants to have international exchanges with us, so this year's competition between sects is actually to select the best people and then communicate with the people from Country R.
Seeing the message sent by Bai Yi, she pondered for a moment, then replied thank you, then exited WeChat and logged in again.
First, he dealt with various messages and private messages, then turned off his phone and said to Chu Tingbai:
"I'll go draw some more talismans and send them back."
"What's wrong?"
"We're going to be communicating with people from Country R this time, so it's always a good idea to be more prepared."
Qing Yanrou always felt that the other party had bad intentions this time.
"I'm with you."
"good."
The master bedroom that she had renovated before is now empty again because the ancestors and their companions have returned to Yantai Temple.
The room was now used exclusively by her for drawing talismans. The two of them spread out yellow paper, picked up the brushes, dipped them in cinnabar, and began to draw talismans with great concentration.
Except for when she first started learning talismans, she had never been so serious before. The two of them worked very quickly and finished a stack of talismans in a short while.
The two of them spent the rest of the day drawing talismans. The last two-thirds of the talismans were sent back to Yantai Temple, and she kept the remaining one-third with her.
Because they had to take Tingbai to the Taoist sect for an assessment the next day, the two of them went to bed early.
