Chapter 47 Immortal Lord 047%
Qu Yaoyao left.
To be precise, he was angered and left by Xie Qingxun.
She has a good temper, but she also has her own little temper. In addition, she has become accustomed to Xie Qingxun's easy-going and casual demeanor in recent days. When he suddenly showed a fierce expression, Qu Yaoyao could not accept it.
"You don't have to rush me. I can go on my own."
Qu Yaoyao broke free from Xie Qingxun's hand and ran away from him angrily.
Xie Qingxun's expression relaxed for a moment, his eyes fixed on the back of the pink butterfly. He pressed his forehead. Although he didn't mean to be cold to Qu Yaoyao, he really didn't like her interfering too much in his affairs.
She didn't understand anything after all.
The cold war began. The angry girl sat in a luxurious sedan chair, deliberately lowering the curtains to prevent anyone from looking. The immortal master, who always kept his word, would never go over to comfort her, but simply stood there.
The cold expression gradually turned gloomy. Xie Qingxun felt a little annoyed, and his eyes inadvertently fell on the apprentice beside him.
Di Shu had been trying to minimize his presence, and when Xie Qingxun suddenly noticed him, he shuddered in surprise, "Master?"
Xie Qingxun said in a cold tone, "Go and look after her."
He didn't think Qu Yingsi had simply been missing her daughter, asking Qu Yaoyao to stay with Xingyang Sect for a while. After saying this, he raised his leg to leave. After two steps, his sanity, which had been disturbed by Qu Yaoyao, gradually returned, and he suddenly stopped.
"Wait." He called out to Di Shu who was about to leave.
Lowering his eyelashes, he recalled the conversation he had with Qu Yaoyao beneath the tree yesterday. His overly calm voice was devoid of emotion. "This time, go to Xingyang Sect and thoroughly investigate whether Qu Yingsi has an illegitimate daughter who she hides from the public."
Some things still need to be clarified.
“…”
The sedan chair that sent Qu Yaoyao back to Xingyang Sect was a fairy-quality spiritual object, pulled by three firebirds. The specifications of the sedan chair were almost the same as the float on her wedding day.
Probably because of the attack on the wedding day, there were dozens more immortal messengers escorting Qu Yaoyao back to the sect this time. A group of fairies in white rode on swords on both sides of the sedan chair, with Di Shu leading the team in black. The whole team was so grand that fellow Taoists passing by would take a second look.
"Which female immortal is so majestic?"
Someone recognized Di Shu, who was at the front, and sighed, "Besides that Immortal Venerable Qing Xi, the only person who could be personally escorted by Immortal Lord Di Shu is probably his newly married Madam Yao."
A figure passed them at breakneck speed, just in time to overhear the conversation between the passing cultivators. She stopped abruptly, her hands behind her back, her sword in hand, as she watched the receding chariots, softly muttering the name she had just heard, "Madam Yao..."
He actually got married.
In their distracted state, the two cultivators noticed the yellow-clothed woman who suddenly appeared before them. Seeing her iconic golden eyes, they were stunned for a moment and asked tentatively, "Are you Lady Huang Ying?"
Huang Ying is Xie Qingxun's last disciple and his only female disciple.
When Qu Yaoyao arrived at Xingyang Sect, she did not see Qu Yushu at the first time.
She was greeted by Qu Yingsi and Yunzhi. When she saw Qu Yaoyao, Yunzhi rushed over and hugged her. Her eyes were red and she sobbed, "I missed you so much."
Originally, she could enter Xianxu to take care of Qu Yaoyao, but too many things happened on the wedding day, and afterwards due to various concerns, in short, Wangxu not only rejected her request to take care of their own lady, but also refused to allow her even the most basic visit.
Upon seeing Yunzhi, Qu Yaoyao's eyes became a little sore. She gently hugged Yunzhi back. She was about to speak out to comfort her, but Yunzhi suddenly said, "Seeing that the young lady has gained weight, I am relieved."
It seems that Wangxu did not abuse her.
Qu Yaoyao groaned. Although she was a lotus, she also had a girl's love for beauty. Subconsciously pinching the flesh on her face, she asked uncertainly, "Am I fat?"
Although Xie Qingxun does not eat grains, the food prepared for her is indeed good.
Yunzhi chuckled and called her "girl" a few more times. The closeness she had felt after not seeing her for several days made her hold Qu Yaoyao's hand tightly. Qu Yingsi noticed Di Shu following behind Qu Yaoyao and called out to Yunzhi with a stern tone, smiling, "Yaoyao has been married for many days. What should you call her now?"
Yunzhi quickly changed her words: "Madam."
"Mrs. Yao."
When Qu Yaoyao saw Qu Yingsi, she also called out, "Mother."
Perhaps she was not close enough to Qu Yingsi. When Qu Yushu was not around, Qu Yaoyao always felt a lack of a sense of belonging in front of her.
"Where is my brother?" she asked weakly when Qu Yingsi pulled her into the room.
Qu Yingsi said casually, "He's out."
Qu Yaoyao asked again: "When will he come back?"
Her intentions were so obvious that Qu Yingsi couldn't ignore them. With a soft sigh, she called out Qu Yaoyao's name, whether intentionally or not, and asked, "When did Yaoyao become so close to her brother?"
"You used to love sticking to your mother the most."
After all, she is not a real daughter, and Qu Yaoyao has no experience of being someone's daughter. She was frightened by Qu Yingsi's words and broke out in a cold sweat.
Afraid of being noticed, she shook her head and hugged Qu Yingsi's arm, rubbing her like she was rubbing Xie Qingxun, and said softly, "Yaoyao also likes to stick to A'niang now, but she hasn't seen her brother for too long and misses him a little."
"So does Yaoyao miss her brother more, or her mother more?"
Qu Yaoyao didn't like lying, but in order to maintain her identity, she said against her will: "Yaoyao misses mother more."
"Good girl." Qu Yingsi touched her head.
A family dinner with only two people was too lonely. Although Qu Yingsi looked gentle, she was very strict with the servants. Even though Qu Yaoyao and Yunzhi were as close as sisters, Yunzhi was not allowed to sit at the table and eat with them.
It was another extremely difficult meal to swallow. Although Qu Yingsi's food was delicious, Qu Yaoyao just couldn't eat in front of her and could only bite the bullet and pretend to eat in front of her.
While pretending to be intimate and well-behaved in front of Qu Yingsi, she was looking forward to Qu Yushu's early return. However, after finally getting through the dinner, Qu Yingsi still had no intention of letting her go back to rest.
"Yaoyao, are you living well in Wangxu?" Qu Yingsi asked Qu Yaoyao to sit in front of the dressing mirror and used a wooden comb to help her comb her hair.
As if chatting, Qu Yingsi, as a mother, naturally cared most about whether her daughter was doing well after getting married. After receiving a positive answer, she raised her eyebrows slightly, "Qingxi Immortal Venerable is not an easy person to get along with. I am very relieved that Yaoyao can be favored by him."
Qu Yaoyao didn't know how to respond, so she just whispered, "Actually, he's not that difficult to get along with."
"Oh?" Qu Yingsi smiled, "Yaoyao likes him again?"
"You begged my mother not to get married before."
The word "like" made Qu Yaoyao's heart beat faster, and Xie Qingxun's face appeared in her mind again. However, before the sweet joy could emerge, she remembered the look of Xie Qingxun scolding her with a cold face this morning.
"I don't like him..." Qu Yaoyao didn't know who she was talking to.
Qu Yingsi paused, then looked up at her beautiful daughter in the mirror. She quickly lowered her head and changed the subject, "You've been living in the Immortal Venerable's palace for a few days. Have you noticed any unusual behavior from the Immortal Venerable?"
"What does this mean, mother?" Qu Yaoyao thought the question was strange and she was unable to answer it.
Qu Yingsi's expression remained normal as she explained softly, "Mother's point is, although he is your husband now, he is still an Immortal Lord after all. Yaoyao, you sleep with him every day, so you still need to be careful and attentive. You should remember his preferences and habits and not cross the line."
Qu Yaoyao probably understood what she meant.
"I don't spend every day with him." Qu Yaoyao said: "He is very busy and doesn't appear in front of me often. Besides, we have never slept in the same bed."
"How could that be?" Qu Yingsi was a little surprised.
"It's true." Qu Yaoyao explained: "Xie Qingxun never sleeps."
At first, Qu Yaoyao thought she had taken over his jade bed and that he wasn't used to sleeping with her. Later, she realized that Xie Qingxun wasn't unwilling to sleep in the same bed with her, but simply didn't want to sleep. Except when he was unconscious and seriously injured, he never slept on the icy jade bed.
Not only Qu Yaoyao was surprised, Qu Yingsi was also surprised after hearing it.
Although he knew in his heart that when one reached Xie Qingxun's level of cultivation, he no longer needed to sleep every day, but even Pei Ziyi could not go without sleep for more than ten days.
"Why isn't he sleeping?"
Qu Yaoyao shook her head and said, "I haven't asked in detail."
Qu Yingsi frowned and said in a slightly stern tone, "He is your husband. I just told you to memorize his preferences and habits. How can you be so careless?"
"You must investigate this matter thoroughly to see if he really isn't sleeping or if this is just an excuse to avoid you."
Qu Yaoyao was suddenly scolded and was a little confused.
She wasn't as complicated as Qu Yingsi thought, nor did she think that Xie Qingxun didn't sleep to avoid her. After that, she answered several questions in succession, all about Xie Qingxun, and Qu Yingsi didn't seem satisfied after listening.
"Yaoyao."
Qu Yingsi suddenly asked, "Mother, I heard that you hinted in front of everyone that Qingxi Immortal Venerable was a demon. What happened?"
Qu Yaoyao hadn't figured out what Qu Yingsi was trying to ask, but as soon as she heard this, she seemed to have grasped a clue and spoke cautiously, "Why would mother bring this up all of a sudden?"
Qu Yingsi smiled and said, "Of course, it was the Sect Master who told me. He wanted me to ask you clearly what you meant by what you said that day."
"It doesn't mean anything." Qu Yaoyao's fingers hidden in her sleeves curled up slightly.
Naturally, she couldn't tell Qu Yingsi the truth, so she could only force a smile and say, "He was so mean before. He slandered me and caused me so much suffering. I just want revenge on him."
"Is it really just because of this?"
Under Qu Yingsi's gaze, Qu Yaoyao nodded vigorously in affirmation, "It's really just because of this. I didn't expect the Sect Master to take it to heart."
“Nonsense!”
Qu Yingsi rebuked, "How can you slander the Immortal Venerable's reputation and make a joke of it?"
Qu Yaoyao was so scared of her that she quickly bowed her head and admitted her mistake, "My daughter knows she was wrong."
Qu Yingsi looked at her with a cold gaze, as if she was angry. She didn't say anything, and Qu Yaoyao didn't dare to say anything. The two of them just sat there in silence, motionless. After a long while, she heard a cold snort.
"Go down."
Qu Yingsi turned her back to Qu Yaoyao and said, "Mother is tired."
“…”
Just like last time, Qu Yaoyao came out of Qu Yingsi's room with her legs almost weak.
It was not until she returned to her room, changed into comfortable pajamas and lay down on the soft couch that she felt herself slowly regaining her composure.
"Chong'an, Chong'an." She shook her pendant. "Are you there?"
A soft "hmm" came into his ears, and Chong'an asked her, "What's wrong?"
Qu Yaoyao asked the question in her mind: "Did you hear what Qu Yingsi and I said just now? She seemed strange to me, as if...she was trying to get some information out of me."
It’s still news related to Xie Qingxun.
Chong'an was silent for a moment, "It shouldn't be a big deal, don't think too much about it."
"Is it nothing?" Qu Yaoyao trusted him very much. Since he said it was okay, she didn't think about it anymore and rolled around on the couch with the quilt in her arms.
She was just about to take out the Kunlun Stone to practice with it when Chong'an suddenly stopped her and asked, "Do you like him?"
"Who?" Qu Yaoyao asked before she realized, "Are you talking about Xie Qingxun?"
She didn't know why Chong'an asked the same question as Qu Yingsi, and after thinking it over for a moment, she didn't know how to answer. She felt that she didn't fully understand what it meant to like someone, but when someone mentioned the word "like", she subconsciously thought of Xie Qingxun.
Do you like it?
Does she... really like Xie Qingxun?
When she first transformed, she thought "liking" was a pleasant emotion, something she could freely express to others. However, as she spent more time as a human and spent more time with Xie Qingxun, she suddenly felt that this emotion became hazy and complex, and could not be shared easily.
It seemed that it was no longer as sweet as it was at the beginning. When she was scolded by Xie Qingxun this morning, she felt a little bitter and some emotions that she had never experienced before.
"should……"
Qu Yaoyao hesitated a bit, stroking the hand on her wrist. After struggling for a long time, she whispered back, "I probably don't like it."
These five words were filled with insecurity and self-doubt. She didn't know that when she could no longer decisively say the word "I don't like it", she already liked it, but she herself was unwilling to admit it.
After hearing this, Chong'an wanted to laugh, but couldn't.
Every time, he had to suppress too many emotions to stay rational, but this time his rationality began to waver uncontrollably.
It was to remind Qu Yaoyao and himself. When Qu Yaoyao was immersed in her own thoughts, he asked again: "Then do you think... Xie Qingxun likes you?"
