Chapter 27 Immortal Lord 027%
Qu Yaoyao was a simple-minded person, not as calculating as Xie Qingxun. Since he said he would let her go if she helped him bandage his wound, she believed him.
After finding the bottles and jars needed for healing, Qu Yaoyao washed her hands and applied medicine to Xie Qingxun as instructed. She had never bandaged anyone's wounds before, nor had she seen so many scars face to face. The dense whip marks made her scalp numb, and her hands trembled and hurt people several times.
When treating the wound on Xie Qingxun's neck, Qu Yaoyao wrapped it with circles of gauze and tied a beautiful bow at the end.
"Okay." Qu Yaoyao breathed a sigh of relief, wiped the non-existent sweat from her forehead, and sighed that this was really a physical job.
Perhaps because they were about to leave, Qu Yaoyao began to look at Xie Qingxun with a more favorable impression. She took the initiative to help him pull up his half-unbuttoned robe, and looking at his injured profile, she asked, "You won't get a scar here, will you?"
The wound on Xie Qingxun's cheek was caused by the murderous aura brought out by the dragon bone whip. Although the wound was not deep, it was a long and thin line that was very obvious, winding from the end of the eye to the corner of the mouth, and was deep red and slightly bleeding.
Without waiting for Xie Qingxun to answer, Qu Yaoyao picked up the porcelain bottle on the table and poured some powder onto her fingertips, carefully smearing it on Xie Qingxun's cheek.
After thinking for a while, she cut the gauze into thin strips and applied them to the wound on Xie Qingxun's cheek with magic. This way, she had treated all the injuries on Xie Qingxun's body. She secretly glanced at him and took the opportunity to touch Xie Qingxun's face. It was as cold as jade, delicate but not as soft and tender as hers.
So her skin is better.
"Then, can I leave now?" Qu Yaoyao asked expectantly, suppressing the excitement in her heart.
Xie Qingxun pretended not to notice her little action, and did not bother to check the bandages on his body. He hummed lightly and straightened his collar, "You can go now."
Before Qu Yaoyao could feel happy, she heard Xie Qingxun's next words: "Go back and prepare for the wedding well. I don't want anything to go wrong."
Marriage?! What marriage?! So he let her go so she could return to Xingyang Sect to prepare for the wedding, and then return to Xianxu with a legitimate identity a month later?
He didn't let her go at all, he was holding her tighter.
The smile on Qu Yaoyao's face froze instantly. She opened her mouth slightly in confusion, but couldn't utter a word for a long time. Xie Qingxun didn't feel the slightest bit of guilt for deceiving the little girl. Instead, he reached out and touched her head, gently warning: "You will be good, right?"
Qu Yaoyao's eyelashes trembled, her head lowered in anger, unable to vent, she muttered back, "I won't be good."
"Xie Qingxun." She called his name and told him her true feelings, "I don't want to marry you."
Yunzhi had told her that marriage meant moving from one home to another, and that one should stay with the person one married forever. Before, she hadn't known Xie Qingxun's true identity, and had longed to marry him and stay by his side. But now, she felt she would be very sad to be with him, and she wanted freedom even more.
"I don't want to marry you."
Qu Yaoyao kept repeating this sentence: "I really don't want to marry you."
Xie Qingxun stared at her quietly, as if thinking of something funny. He curled his lips sarcastically, withdrew his hand, and said indifferently: "It's not up to you to choose."
He spoke as if he was willing to marry her.
"Aren't you leaving yet?"
Seeing Qu Yaoyao standing still in front of him, he said, "If you don't want to leave, then stay here. I will let Qu Yushu go back."
"Don't--" He was about to call Gu Tianci, but Qu Yaoyao quickly covered his mouth.
Their eyes met, and Xie Qingxun's beautiful phoenix eyes raised slightly in cold pride, and his dark pupils reflected her face. Qu Yaoyao looked at him and then at the palace door, and finally stomped her feet, let him go, and ran out of the door with her skirt lifted up.
She ran very fast, fearing that Xie Qingxun would change his mind, and left without looking back.
This time, she successfully ran past the screen and easily pushed open the palace door. As the door opened, the wind from outside rushed in, blowing her clothes. After a brief pause, she ran out of the room, leaving behind only the harsh words of a little girl in a rage, "Xie Qingxun, you can dream on."
"Even if I marry a bird, I won't marry you!" For example, Chong'an, at worst her brother or Yunzhi, she would never marry him.
Xie Qingxun raised his eyes and looked towards the door. The door was wide open and there was no one in the room.
"Bird?" He tilted his head to look at the mirror. The crystal-polished mirror surface was clear and bright, reflecting Xie Qingxun's face covered with gauze.
Even with half his face covered and gauze wrapped around his neck, it couldn't hide his handsomeness. A gentle breeze blew in, ruffling his dark hair. The corners of his lips curled up in the mirror, and he let out an inexplicable laugh.
Comparing him to a bird.
“…”
With the tracking technology, Xie Qingxun knew exactly where Qu Yaoyao went and was not afraid of her running away at all.
As soon as she came out of Xie Qingxun's bedroom, Qu Yaoyao saw Qu Yushu. The man was dressed in a green shirt and was gentle and elegant. He was waiting quietly at the bottom of the long steps. When she saw him, Qu Yaoyao's nose was sore and she sniffed and called out, "Brother."
It was as if something terrible was chasing her from behind. She almost ran down the long high staircase. Qu Yushu was frightened and took a few steps forward worriedly. He couldn't help but stretch out his arms and said, "Run slower."
How could Qu Yaoyao dare to be slow?
On the last few steps, she tripped over her feet and fell straight down. Fortunately, Qu Yushu was close by and quickly grabbed her wrist. Qu Yaoyao fell into his arms. Before she could even catch her breath, she hurriedly hugged her and buried her head in his arms, sobbing and complaining about her grievances.
"Wuwuwu brother, I miss you so much." Qu Yaoyao hugged him tightly, and was so excited that she even hung her legs around his waist.
Qu Yushu couldn't resist his sister's enthusiasm. Although there weren't many people in Xianxu, there were still people around. Holding his sister in his arms, he accidentally met Gu Tianci's eyes as she leaned against a tree. He quickly lowered his head and patted her, signaling her to get off him.
"Okay, let's go back first."
Qu Yaoyao hummed twice, and hurriedly raised her little face to urge, "Brother, let's go quickly. I don't want to stay here anymore."
She had no intention of getting off him, instead she held him tighter. Qu Yushu was speechless for a moment, forced to hold Qu Yaoyao for two steps. He couldn't help but lower his head and said, "Yaoyao..."
Qu Yaoyao looked at him blankly, "What's wrong?"
Qu Yushu didn't know how to start the conversation. After hesitating for a moment, he shook his head and said, "Forget it."
Qu Yaoyao can't fly with a sword, so she still needs him to fly with her on a sword after leaving the Immortal Ruins. So let's just do it this way for now.
.
Qu Yaoyao couldn't remember how long it had been since she had returned to Xingyang Sect.
As soon as she returned to the sect, Yunzhi ran towards her crying, hugged her and said, "Miss, you are finally back. I was worried to death."
Since Qu Yaoyao was captured and taken into the underground palace, Yunzhi has sent messages to Qu Yushu more than ten times. When she learned that Qu Yaoyao was involved in the Yaowang Sect case, she even broke into the back mountain regardless of her own safety, wanting to ask Qu Yingsi for help.
"It's good that you're back, it's good that you're back..." Yunzhi has been paying attention to the movements of the main sect and the Immortal Ruins, and she also heard that the Immortal Master Qingxi helped her clear her suspicion.
Taking a few steps back, she looked her daughter up and down, and asked worriedly, "Is the girl hurt?"
All of Qu Yaoyao's injuries had been healed by Chong'an, so he shook his head and said, "Don't worry, I'm fine."
Yunzhi breathed a sigh of relief. She had no idea what Qu Yaoyao had been through these past few days, nor did she imagine that all the suffering Qu Yaoyao endured was caused by Xie Qingxun. So she kept praising him, "Fortunately, you have Qingxi Immortal Venerable protecting you, otherwise I really don't know what I would do."
"Girl, Immortal Qingxi is so kind to you. The news that he was injured while taking the punishment for you has spread throughout the Immortal Sect. Those fairies must be envious to death."
"I heard that you have been staying in the Immortal Ruins to take care of the Immortal Lord for a while. Some people also said that you have been living directly in the Immortal Lord's palace. Is this true?"
When Xie Qingxun was mentioned, the smile on Qu Yaoyao's face faded. She nodded and then shook her head, saying in a bad mood, "Let's not talk about him anymore, okay?"
Yunzhi was stunned. As a maid in the sect, even if she was well-informed, she could not know everything. She did not know some things that the main sect prohibited from being spread, such as Qu Yaoyao accusing Xie Qingxun of forcing her to confess and torturing her, and she hinted to the heads of various sects and the head of the main sect that Xie Qingxun was a demon.
"Girl..." Yunzhi felt that her girl had changed a little.
Just because she didn't know didn't mean Qu Yushu didn't know, otherwise he wouldn't have rushed to the Immortal Ruins to ask for her as soon as he returned to the Immortal Sect.
"Yunzhi." Qu Yushu changed the subject. "Didn't you say you prepared a table of food for Yaoyao? Why don't you go and bring it over?"
Yunzhi sighed, then left quickly after realizing that she hadn't yet turned off the fire to cook the flower soup.
After Qu Yushu sent Qu Yaoyao back to Lanfang Garden, he didn't leave in a hurry. As his sister entered the room, he closed the door and said, "Yaoyao, can you tell me what happened?"
Qu Yushu is not stupid, he can even be considered extremely smart. As soon as he received Yunzhi's message from Yingxian City, he guessed why the headquarters was anxious to send him away from the sect, but he could not figure out why all this happened.
Is it just to target a young lady from Xingyang Sect who knows nothing?
Qu Yaoyao didn't want to talk about the past anymore, but she also didn't want to worry her brother. Picking at her fingers, Qu Yaoyao lowered her head and said in a low voice, "Brother, do you believe that I didn't kill the Yaowang Sect's Young Master?"
"Of course I believe it." Qu Yushu answered quickly.
With Qu Yaoyao's ability, even if she had the magic flag in her hand, it would be difficult for her to activate and use it, let alone kill dozens of people in a row and still stay in Xingyang Sect without changing her expression.
The only people Qu Yaoyao can trust now are Chong'an and Qu Yushu. The talismans he left for her have saved her life many times, so she told Qu Yushu about her experiences during this period. But when she wanted to mention the evil spirit in Xie Qingxun and the real murderer who killed the young master of the Medicine King Sect, she opened her mouth but could not utter a word.
"What's wrong?" Qu Yushu noticed that something was wrong with her.
Qu Yaoyao opened her mouth again and found that she couldn't even say anything about Longyun Tower.
Across the vast distance, within the Immortal Ruins, Xie Qingxun lay on the couch, his head propped up, dozing. Suddenly, the pinky finger of his right hand, resting on his waist, moved. Sensing something unusual, he closed his eyelashes and softly muttered a name—
"Qu Yaoyao."
[Qu Yaoyao.] Xie Qingxun's voice suddenly rang in her ears, frightening the little girl who was about to drink water so much that her wrist trembled and she looked around in panic.
Across two spaces, Xie Qingxun's voice was slow and ethereal, "Some secrets, if revealed, can kill you."
[If you are smart, you will know what to say and what not to say.] Otherwise, Qu Yushu will be the next young master of the Medicine King Sect.
She was threatened.
Qu Yaoyao's face turned pale. Although she didn't know how Xie Qingxun knew what she had said to Qu Yushu, she knew that Xie Qingxun was not joking with her. Since he dared to kill the young master of Yaowang Sect, he would dare to kill the young master of Xingyang Sect again.
"That's all." Qu Yaoyao bit her lip and told Qu Yushu how Xie Qingxun had forced a confession from her, and how he had rescued her and then lied to her in Yunta Town.
Qu Yushu could see that Qu Yaoyao still had reservations about him, but she was unwilling to say it, so he stopped asking.
Suppressing his surprise, he murmured, "I didn't expect Qingxi Immortal Venerable to be so..."
In reality, most cultivators were well aware of Xie Qingxun's cruelty, though no one mentioned it. However, when it came to treating a powerless girl, he acted so cruelly and mercilessly, with no mercy or compassion at all. This was truly unacceptable.
Just as 'Qu Yaoyao' hinted in front of the Chengyu Palace, is this an immortal with a bright heart, or a sinister and cunning demon?
Thinking that his sister had been trapped in the Immortal Ruins for several days, Qu Yushu frowned and asked, "Where have you been living these days?"
Qu Yaoyao replied obediently: "While he was being punished in the Du'e Courtyard, I lived in his bedroom and couldn't leave."
"So you were in his room when I left?"
Seeing his sister nod, his doubts grew. After a moment's hesitation, he asked, "What did he ask you to do?"
Qu Yaoyao thought about it carefully and replied, "Help him undress, apply medicine and bandage him, and..."
Thinking of something, she looked a little angry and said sullenly, "He also bit me."
"Bite you?" Qu Yushu's expression was indescribably strange. "Where should I bite you?"
"Here." Qu Yaoyao pointed to her mouth. Afraid that she couldn't explain it clearly, she ran to Qu Yushu, bent down and tried to demonstrate it to him.
As the distance closed, Qu Yaoyao's face became closer. The beautiful girl's eyes were bright, and her lips were red and pouty. Qu Yushu was startled, but luckily he reacted quickly enough to turn his head away. He used his right hand to block his face and asked in surprise, "Yaoyao, what are you doing?"
Qu Yaoyao kissed the back of his hand and said innocently, "I can't explain it. He bites it in a strange way. I can only show you."
She thought Qu Yushu was afraid of the pain and dodged, then added: "I will be gentle and won't hurt brother."
She was not Xie Qingxun, and she was reluctant to hurt Qu Yushu.
