Chapter 149 Preparation before the Competition
After a long time, Chu Tingbai let her go.
But he immediately picked her up with both hands, walked to the chair beside and sat down, letting her sit on him.
He lowered his head slightly and touched his forehead to hers, his dark eyes looking into her sparkling peach blossom eyes, his eyes burning.
"Put me down."
She felt a little uncomfortable with his fiery gaze and struggled to get off him.
"Qingqing, how long has it been since we had a good chat? You've been coming to the Dao Sect every weekend for the past two months and have ignored me for so long."
He put force on the hands on her waist, pulling her completely into his arms, resting his chin on her neck, and his hoarse voice was a little more urgent than before.
The carefree Qing Yanrou didn't notice anything wrong with him. Now that she didn't have to look into his fiery eyes, she felt relieved instantly.
She nestled in his arms obediently, resting her hands on his chest, and said softly:
"Then you have to be busy with the company's affairs, so I can only find something for myself to do. Besides, they really have some people. Now the people from Country R are coming soon, I have to give them some guidance!"
She wanted to say directly that they were too weak, but she swallowed the words back when they reached her lips.
When she mentioned guidance, Chu Tingbai was reminded of the scene he had just seen.
A little unhappy.
Then he let out a light click of his tongue, poked his cheek with it, took back his hand that was resting on her waist, lifted her chin, and leaned in to kiss her again.
This time the kiss lacked the urgency that had just been there at the door, but it also carried an irresistible momentum, like a king inspecting his territory, constantly asserting his sovereignty in his territory.
Qing Yanrou's hands, which were resting on his chest, clenched involuntarily and grabbed Chu Tingbai's white T-shirt.
He didn't let her go until he noticed she was having trouble breathing.
"Qingqing, it's been so long, but you still haven't learned how to breathe. Is it because you haven't practiced enough, huh?"
Chu Tingbai's smiling words rang in her ears, and her earlobes, which were already red because of his words, seemed to be on fire.
The alluring earlobe was right in front of him, and he didn't dare to challenge his limits, so he let her down from his legs.
Suddenly being put down, Qing Yanrou looked at him with some confusion.
Being looked at by her innocent eyes, Chu Tingbai secretly cursed himself in his heart, then he took her hand and asked her to bend down, then leaned over and said a few words behind her ear.
Her eyes gradually widened as he spoke. Before he could finish, she broke free from his hand, glared at him, pushed open the door and left in a hurry.
Only Chu Tingbai was left sitting alone on the stool with a look of forbearance on his face and his body slightly hunched.
"Hey, my dear Qing, your mouth—"
Qing Yanrou had just hurried out of the door when she ran into Taoist Master Li Yun.
His words made her realize instantly that the man had bitten her lower lip several times like a dog.
She quickly reached out to cover it, and accidentally touched her lips, which felt stinging. She frowned slightly and mentally made a note of that bastard.
"It's okay, it's okay. I'll go see how the talismans they drew are."
"Hey, let me go with you and see if those guys have cherished this opportunity."
Taoist Master Jie Yun was also very interested when he heard about it and wanted to go and take a look.
Qing Yanrou was afraid that someone would stare at her lips after she went in, so she quickly used her spiritual energy to relieve the redness and swelling on her lips.
When she returned to the room where she instructed the Xuanmen disciples, her lips had returned to normal.
"Master, you're back. Where's Master?"
Seeing her come back, Zhang Yuer looked behind her and saw only Taoist Jie Yun following her. She couldn't help but ask in confusion.
When Qing Yanrou heard her mention Chu Tingbai, she couldn't help but think of what the man had said in the wing room just now. She froze for a moment, then said with a smile:
"He'll be here in a minute."
After saying that, he hurried in, fearing that she would ask other questions.
Taoist Master Jie Yun looked at her slightly flustered steps and suddenly understood why her lips were like that just now.
Young people are so full of youthful vigor and vitality!
——
"Master Qing——"
"Master Qing——"
Qing Yanrou had just entered the room when everyone who had been looking down at their talismans raised their heads and greeted her.
She walked over to Yuan Mu and picked up the talisman he had drawn.
It is an intermediate lightning talisman.
However, the quality is still a bit lacking, but this seems to be his first time drawing an intermediate talisman?
"Is this the first time you've drawn an intermediate-level talisman?"
“Yeah, yeah, yeah!!!”
Yuan Mu was very excited. This was the first time in his 27 years that he had drawn an intermediate-level talisman, although the quality might not be as good as other people's intermediate-level talismans.
But this is also a big improvement for him, how can he not be excited?
"Good, just follow the feeling just now and draw it a few more times."
After saying that, he put down the talisman in his hand and walked towards the next person.
"thank you!"
Yuan Mu bowed deeply behind her, and after a long time he straightened up and wiped his face with his hand. Then his face became more determined, and he picked up the brush beside him and concentrated on drawing the talisman again.
Qing Yanrou curled her lips slightly, and then she and Taoist Jie Yun picked up the talismans of other disciples to check, and both of them showed a relieved smile.
It seems that the guidance of these two months is very useful. More than half of the disciples have made a qualitative leap.
The next match against Country R will be easy for me.
——
Residents of Beijing City have clearly felt that there are a lot more R countrymen coming to China in recent days, especially the hotels at the foot of the mountain where the Taoist headquarters are basically full.
Among them were people from R country and Taoist priests from China. These people from the mysterious sect gathered together, and it seemed that something had happened.
They inquired from many sources and finally got the news that it was people from Country R who were coming to have friendly exchanges with the Xuanmen people in our country.
It's a friendly exchange, isn't it time for this?
All the Chinese who have a deep-seated hatred for the R people are running to the Taoist sect, just to see how the Xuanmen people in our country abuse them.
Because the Xuanmen sect was declining and there was a lack of young people, the Taoist sect did not impose any restrictions on these ordinary people this time and allowed them to come and watch.
However, it is still a one-person-one-vote system. Although it is free, the quantity is limited and it is on a first-come, first-served basis.
After all, the Taoist sect’s limited space cannot accommodate too many people.
Now is the Internet age, and everyone likes to post on Weibo, Moments, etc.
Therefore, this was originally a niche news among the Xuanmen people, but it first spread throughout the entire Beijing city, and then spread throughout China through the Internet.
Many Chinese people who failed to get tickets and were unable to make it to the event urged those at the scene to report the "battle situation" on Weibo every day.
Han Nianlu and the other three were originally at Yantai Temple accompanying a Taoist priest to sell talismans, but all the people from the Xuanmen sect wanted to watch the competition.
So every time they came, they bought talismans in large quantities, and in the end, all the stock prepared by Qing Yanrou was cleared out by them.
Now that there were no pilgrims, the Taoist priest knew that they all wanted to join in the fun, so he urged the three of them to return to the capital.
Because Qing Yanrou was there, the three of them were allowed in as an exception without tickets.
"Hey, why don't they need tickets?"
The people queuing on the side couldn't help but feel indignant when they saw them go in like that.
"That's also someone from our Xuanmen."
Those who help sell talismans in Yantai Temple should also be considered as people of Yantai Temple. Since they are people of Yantai Temple, they are of course people of the Xuanmen.
The Taoist boy who checked the receipts had been to Yantai Temple to buy talismans. Knowing their relationship with Qing Yanrou, he had already found a reason for them in his mind.
I wonder if Taoist Master Qing will give me a discount at that time?
Well, he is such a clever little fellow!
