Chapter 8 Immortal Lord 008%
“…”
It was snowing heavily outside. When Qu Yaoyao opened the door, she heard the whistling of the wind.
The cold wind blew the falling snow towards her, and someone used an umbrella to block it for her in time. Qu Yaoyao looked up and found that there was not only Qu Yushu standing outside the door, but also his attendant Ninglu.
"Brother, what's this?" Qu Yaoyao noticed Qu Yushu's clothes.
As the young master of the Xingyang Sect, Qu Yushu had always worn wide-sleeved, elegant robes within the sect, presenting the demeanor of a refined scholar. But tonight, he wore a sleek, narrow-sleeved suit, a wide belt around his waist, and his long hair was tied high, leaving only a few slightly curled strands dangling from his forehead.
Qu Yushu held an umbrella to protect Qu Yaoyao. He coughed twice and explained to her, "Snow beasts are rampant outside. My brother received the order from the head sect to go down to the mortal realm to quell the rebellion. He will leave tonight."
If Qu Yaoyao hadn't been in trouble in Xingyang Sect, Qu Yushu would still be in the town killing snow beasts and wouldn't have returned. Now that he saw Qu Yaoyao recovering day by day and the main sect sent someone to urge him to go, he had no reason not to return.
Qu Yaoyao was stunned after hearing this, "Are we leaving now?"
Qu Yushu nodded his chin lightly, "I'll tell you a few words, then I'll leave."
The reason he came so late at night was to say goodbye to his sister. He took out a sachet from his arms and put it in Qu Yaoyao's hand, "Take this. I'm not with you, so you have to protect yourself."
Qu Yaoyao was still a little out of shape. She opened the sachet in her hand and found dozens of talisman papers neatly stacked inside. She could control them with just a little spiritual power.
"These talismans were drawn by the young sect master himself. He didn't rest all night for you." Seeing that Qu Yaoyao didn't react when holding the sachet, Ninglu couldn't help complaining.
Qu Yushu frowned and scolded her in a low voice.
Perhaps because he was afraid that Qu Yaoyao would think too much, he pretended not to care, "It's just a few talismans, brother will finish them quickly."
Qu Yaoyao still didn't react. She just lowered her head and looked at the sachet without saying a word.
The snow seemed to be getting heavier, and the cold wind was blowing fiercely, making people's clothes flutter. Qu Yushu deliberately stood to the right to block the cold wind blowing towards Qu Yaoyao. Seeing that his sister had been silent, Qu Yushu's eyes dimmed and his face turned pale. The smile on his lips turned self-deprecating.
"Brother is gone." Qu Yushu had long been accustomed to Qu Yaoyao's disregard.
Just as she was about to turn around, a pair of hands suddenly wrapped around her waist. Qu Yaoyao quickly rushed towards Qu Yushu, hugging him tightly with her arms. She buried her head in his arms, sobbing, and whispered, "I'm sorry."
I'm really sorry.
She was frightened by Qingxi Immortal Venerable. After falling once, Xiao Xuelian didn't dare to fall again. So after escaping death, she didn't dare to trust anyone again, fearing that she would meet the second 'Qingxi Immortal Venerable'.
But Qu Yushu was not Qingxi Immortal Venerable. He was a living, independent person, a blood relative of Qu Yaoyao. While she was suspicious and wondering if this brother would harm her, her brother was working overnight to draw a life-saving talisman for her.
When she was hiding in the room, hesitating whether to come out to see him, her brother stood outside her door in the cold wind, just to say goodbye to her.
"sorry."
"I'm sorry." One sorry was said on behalf of the ignorant original owner, and another was said by Xiao Xuelian who lived on behalf of the original owner.
Qu Yushu was very uncomfortable, his whole body stiff as he was held by Qu Yaoyao. After a moment, he reacted and hugged her back to comfort her, "Yaoyao, what's wrong with you?"
She had never been so close to him, let alone apologized to him.
Qu Yaoyao sobbed in his arms, unable to tell him what was on her mind. She could only say, "I was too willful before. I feel so sorry for my brother."
Qu Yushu burst out laughing, lowered his eyes to look at his sister and said, "Yaoyao, I am your brother."
How can I say sorry to my brother?
The brother and sister hugged each other, one crying and the other comforting her, leaving Ninglu and Yunzhi who had hurried over dumbfounded.
As a lotus, Xiao Xuelian had never felt warmth from anyone other than the Immortal Master Qingxi. When she received the sachet prepared for her by Qu Yushu, she felt like something hit her heart.
Not caring about being hurt or deceived again, Xiao Xuelian just wanted to grasp this moment of warmth. She was too soft-hearted and was deeply moved by the slightest kindness from others.
Holding Qu Yushu's collar tightly, Qu Yaoyao was reluctant to let him leave. She raised her little face and said, "Brother, please come back soon."
Qu Yushu wiped the tears from her face with his fingertips, and with a smile on his face, he promised gently, "Once the snow beasts are eliminated, I will rush back to accompany Yaoyao as soon as possible."
Ninglu gently reminded: "Young Sect Master, it's getting late."
It was time for them to leave, as many disciples were waiting for them outside.
Upon hearing this, Qu Yaoyao came out of Qu Yushu's arms. Although she was reluctant, she still let Qu Yushu go.
Seeing that Qu Yushu was wearing thin clothes, she hurriedly said, "Brother, wait a minute."
Running back to the room, she took out a thick purple and gold fur coat from the cupboard and ran out to put it on Qu Yushu.
"This is..." Qu Yushu bent down to accommodate his sister's height and found that what Qu Yaoyao was draped over him was a men's fur coat. It was thick, spacious and finely crafted. The gold patterns embroidered on the hem shone faintly, and it was very valuable.
Why are there men's clothes in Qu Yaoyao's room?
Without waiting for Qu Yushu to ask, Yunzhi ran to Qu Yaoyao.
She tugged at Qu Yaoyao's arm anxiously, glanced at Qu Yushu, and whispered, "Isn't this the birthday gift the young lady found specially for Qingxi Immortal Venerable? The young lady gave it to the Young Sect Master, and Qingxi Immortal Venerable..."
It turned out that this was a birthday gift prepared for the Immortal Master Qingxi.
Qu Yaoyao paused, then quickly regained her composure. "It's not his birthday yet, so I'll just find another gift for him."
In the past, Qu Yaoyao would probably have regretted her impulsive behavior, but now she knew very well how dangerous Qingxi Immortal Venerable was. She couldn't even hide from him, so how could she rush to give him a gift?
"My brother is the most important thing now." Qu Yaoyao smiled at Qu Yushu.
Yunzhi really didn't know what to say. She thought her daughter might have forgotten, so she hesitantly reminded her, "Qingxi Immortal Venerable's birthday is... tomorrow."
Qu Yaoyao: “…”
She really didn't know.
Qu Yushu listened to their conversation. From Yunzhi's expression, he could tell that the purple-gold fur coat had likely been hard-earned and a long time in the making. He immediately tried to take it off, but Qu Yaoyao wouldn't let him, repeatedly urging him to take care of himself, her attitude not seeming to be a facade of embarrassment.
Well, then he would accept this gift.
Qu Yushu said, "Qingxi Immortal Venerable doesn't like crowds. Although the main sect organizes a birthday party for him every year, he rarely comes. Tomorrow the main sect will definitely invite all the sects and factions. My brother is not here, and my mother is still in seclusion. Yaoyao, when you go..."
Qu Yaoyao interrupted him, "Can I not go?"
She lowered her head and said in a muffled voice, "I haven't recovered yet, so I don't really want to go out."
She was actually afraid of meeting the Immortal Qingxi.
Qu Yushu probably didn't expect that she wouldn't want to go. He opened his mouth, wanted to say something but stopped himself. Finally, he just said, "If you don't want to go, then don't go. I'll send someone to deliver a birthday gift."
Snowstorms are frequent, snow beasts in the lower realm are causing chaos, and the precious snow lotus has been lost in the cold pond in the fairy ruins. It is a turbulent time.
Qu Yushu always felt that the chief sect was urging him to leave too quickly this time. Although he had some doubts, the chief sect's order was issued by Xianxu, and he could not refuse it just because he said so.
"Brother is not here, please pay attention to your safety and don't make trouble."
Qu Yushu touched Qu Yaoyao's head and said, "Brother is gone."
This time he really left.
Qu Yaoyao walked him out the door and watched as his figure transformed into a flying sword and disappeared into the air. Yunzhi looked up at the night sky with her and said sadly, "Young lady, you should think about what birthday gift to give to Qingxi Immortal Venerable tomorrow."
Qu Yaoyao didn't really want to hear Qingxi Immortal Venerable's name. She pouted and replied perfunctorily, "Didn't my brother say he would send someone to prepare?"
"The Young Sect Master's gift represents our Xingyang Sect, not the young lady herself. In previous years, the young lady would have received a separate gift."
Qu Yaoyao yawned, feeling a little sleepy. "Then let's not send it this year."
"Not seeing you off?!" Yunzhi was surprised.
Just as she was about to say a few more words, the door closed and Qu Yaoyao's voice came faintly through the door, "Yunzhi, go and rest. I'm so tired. I'll probably sleep all day tomorrow."
Yunzhi stood there in a daze.
She didn't know if it was her illusion, but she felt that her daughter seemed...
I don’t like Immortal Qingxi as much anymore.
.
Qu Yaoyao was not joking. She said she wanted to sleep all day and she really stayed indoors the next day.
Not preparing a separate birthday gift for Immortal Qingxi was not just talk. Qu Yaoyao did not express anything until the immortal servant brought the Xingyang Sect's valuable gifts to the main sect.
At night, the main sect was brightly lit, filled with singing and dancing. Hundreds of sect members came to congratulate Qingxi Immortal Venerable on his birthday, presenting them with lavish gifts. However, within the main hall, the throne on the upper level was empty; the person who was supposed to celebrate his birthday hadn't appeared.
Fortunately, they have all gotten used to it.
Late at night, Gu Tianci walked through the Delusion Ruins with two lists in hand. He walked to the bedroom of Qingxi Immortal Venerable, knocked on the door, and whispered, "Master, the banquet is over."
After receiving permission, Gu Tianci pushed the door open and walked in. He walked up to Xie Qingxun and handed him the list with both hands. "This is the list of sects that have come to celebrate the birthday. The other list is the birthday gifts sent by various sects."
"Put it down." Xie Qingxun glanced at the list, stood by the window and stared at the night. In the distance, he saw the towering and isolated Jingyue Tower.
"Is the Immortal Lord missing the Holy Lord of All Laws?" Gu Tianci asked when he saw this.
Xie Qingxun curled his lips slightly but did not respond.
He took off the luxurious robes he wore during the day, and now he was only wearing a plain white shirt, with his black hair hanging down and his profile indifferent, which made him look a little more gentle than during the day.
Without intending to look at the two lists, Xie Qingxun asked with little interest, "What did Yaowang Sect send?"
"Upon learning that the Immortal Venerable had lost the Cold Pond Snow Lotus, the Medicine King Sect specially sent him ten rare red lotuses." This was far inferior to the birthday gifts given in previous years.
Xie Qingxun's eyebrows were gentle, and he lowered his eyes to fiddle with his slender fingers. He calmly pointed out the truth: "How dare you, old man, demonstrate against me."
Gu Tianci was dissatisfied, "Do you want me to teach him a lesson?"
"No need." Xie Qingxun didn't intend to pay attention. He asked again: "Where is the Xingyang Sect?"
"Qu Yingsi is still in seclusion, and Qu Yushu has been sent away from the lower world by us, so they only sent immortal servants here and gave her a set of fine black Xuan soft brushes." It is more valuable than the ones given in previous years.
Xie Qingxun listened casually. If he remembered correctly, Qu Yaoyao would give him a birthday gift every year, each one meticulously crafted and extremely precious. In previous years, he had never cared much about what she gave him, but this year, he was a little curious.
Gu Tianci's face changed slightly, and he hesitated without saying a word.
Xie Qingxun noticed his discomfort and turned to look at him, "What's wrong?"
Gu Tianci checked the list over and over again, then said stubbornly, "She, she not only didn't show up at the banquet this year, but she also... didn't bring anything."
I'm afraid to avoid it as much as possible.
Xie Qingxun was in a state of confusion after hearing this, and the bedroom was filled with depression.
After a long moment, he asked, "How's the investigation into the Huasong incident going?"
Gu Tianci breathed a sigh of relief and said hurriedly, "As Master expected, Qu Yaoyao was not in Xingyang Sect the night Hua Song was in trouble. Instead, she was wandering around the Immortal Ruins, seemingly plotting something with Hua Song."
Wandering around the Immortal Ruins...
Xie Qingxun narrowed his eyes slightly, "Did she enter the Immortal Ruins?"
“No.”
Gu Tianci was unsure of his master's attitude. "Since Hua Song's death is related to Qu Yaoyao, then we..."
To catch or not to catch?
Xie Qingxun did not hesitate.
Playing casually with the magic ring on his finger, he said leisurely: "Now that we have found the suspect, we must interrogate him."
"Tianci, pass on my order to transfer hundreds of disciples from the main sect to Xingyang Sect."
The author has something to say: Qu Yaoyao: You will regret it.
I thought Xie Qingxun's purpose in looking at the portrait was obvious, but no one else noticed it? QAQ
Some people may look aloof and abstinent, but they might just be attracted to innocent and cute girls. Not only can they draw a picture of a girl after just one meeting, they can even tell how many flowers are pinned on her ears!
Shameless, hetui.
