Chapter 193 How can the beauty compare to the beauty of the moon?
As far as Lingxiang knew, her mother had been a wandering immortal before settling in Yuanqing. A wandering immortal was a free-spirited cultivator who wandered the world, their home afar, free and unfettered, possessing a detached and open-minded disposition. But what had happened to cause her mother to be so disheartened? She had refined three resuscitation pills, but on whom was one used?
She was puzzled and muttered to herself as she pondered. Hearing her mumbling, Liu Yaoyi sighed and looked up at the night sky.
"I know very little about this, and Tumi never told me much."
When Fairy Tumi found Liu Yaoyi, she simply said that the Huitian Pill was not a good medicine, and said nothing more. She only asked her to keep it well, and if her descendants came looking for it in the future, they could just hand it over to her.
Not a good medicine?
Lingxiang was extremely shocked and suspicious, but when she thought of the hanging thread technique noted on the prescription, she knew there must be something fishy going on.
It seems that if you want to solve the mystery, you have to go to Yunmengze to find the answer.
Thinking of this, Lingxiang let down her guard and casually asked Liu Yaoyi, "My mother was able to give you the Huitian Pill, which must mean she trusts you very much. This shows that you two have a close relationship. I think you are also kind-hearted, so why did you do such a harmful thing before?"
Liu Yaoyi lowered her head when she heard this: "My husband's life was hanging by a thread..."
It turned out that Zhuang Wei was dying at that time. Liu Yaoyi was extremely anxious, but she was helpless. Suddenly, one day, a man in white clothes from unknown origins found her and told her a method that could save Zhuang Wei's life.
She was already disheartened at the time, and suddenly she had a life-saving straw. Naturally, she didn't think much about it. After the man in white repeatedly assured her that he would not kill anyone, she did it.
But when she realized that the method was not a good solution, it was already too late. However, she had already tasted the sweetness, so even if it would lead to eternal damnation, she would continue to do so as long as she could save her husband.
Fortunately, Lingxiang and the others stopped her and prevented her from falling into the quagmire.
So even though her cultivation was completely wasted, Liu Yaoyi did not hate Lingxiang. On the contrary, she was extremely grateful to Lingxiang.
Ha! No one was killed, yet everyone became a living dead.
After listening to Liu Yaoyi's narration, Lingxiang lowered her head and began to ponder.
That man in white must be Bai Wuchang.
She had not had any doubts before, until she met Bai Wuchang during the Yuanqing Sect's martial arts performance, and then she understood why she always got help when she was at a loss. She thought he must have planned it long ago, but she didn't know what he was planning.
Just as Lingxiang was lost in thought, Liu Yaoyi suddenly shouted, "Who is it?"
Lingxiang immediately became alert and followed Liu Yaoyi's gaze. A familiar color flashed at the corner of the Moon Gate. It was the clothes of the inner disciples of the Yuanqing Sect.
"Hahaha..." Long Qi laughed dryly, scratching his head and walking out. "I was actually discovered. Madam Zhuang is really...really..."
He didn't know how to make up for it for a moment. Although he didn't look embarrassed at all, after seeing Lingxiang frown, he tried hard to think of how to make up for it.
"The moonlight tonight is so beautiful! But compared to Madam, it pales in comparison..."
Seeing him like this, Lingxiang sighed helplessly, turned around and said to Liu Yaoyi, "Long Qi is not an outsider, Madam, there is no need to panic."
Hearing Lingxiang say this, Long Qi's eyes suddenly lit up: Lingxiang didn't treat him as an outsider!
Seeing his expression, Liu Yaoyi immediately understood the relationship between the two. After all, she was also an experienced person.
"Young Master Long Qi, thank you for your kind words," Liu Yaoyi said with a smile, "Although it is summer, it is still a bit cold at night. But I see that you and Miss Lingxiang seem to have something to say, so I will not keep you two any longer." After saying that, she bowed and walked towards the main house.
Although Long Qi looked normal just now, he felt a little uncomfortable when he saw Liu Yaoyi's meaningful look before she left, and thought that they were alone together now.
Is he that obvious?
Lingxiang was about to say something when Long Qi suddenly became incoherent: "I... I didn't mean to eavesdrop, it's just... No, I didn't eavesdrop, it's just... I didn't hear anything..."
Seeing his sudden awkwardness, Lingxiang smiled instead: "I know, you thought I was under Liu Yaoyi's spell and she wanted to harm me, so she came to save me on purpose."
Hearing her say this, Long Qi couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. Lingxiang still understood her. But after seeing Lingxiang's smile, he lost his mind again - the cold moonlight sprinkled on Lingxiang's face, making her complexion even whiter. Her curved eyes seemed to be filled with the entire galaxy.
Long Qi suddenly felt a little dry in his mouth. He smacked his lips, but felt his throat even more uncomfortable. He looked at Lingxiang's lips, which were as moist as ripe cherries.
I think it must be very thirst-quenching.
Just as Long Qi unconsciously approached Lingxiang, he heard Lingxiang say, "Sit with me for a while."
Long Qi came to his senses and felt that he was filthy. He spat at himself secretly and responded. Seeing Lingxiang sitting on a big rock beside him, he sat down too.
The two of them sat back to back, neither of them saying a word. Long Qi didn't know what Lingxiang was thinking, but he didn't dare to let his thoughts wander, fearing that he might harbor evil thoughts. He just sat there with his back straight, looking like he was listening to a lecture in a classroom.
Just as Long Qi was trying hard to stop himself from thinking too much, he heard Lingxiang say behind him, "When I was little, I actually felt resentment towards my mother, but later, after holding onto the resentment for so long, my heart became numb. It wasn't until I heard what Liu Yaoyi said just now that I began to understand her a little."
"Linglong is not recognized by everyone. She had such high hopes for me. I think she must have had her reasons."
"I once practiced hard, trying to escape my fate. Now that I think about it, I was just being angry with her... I really am a bit..." Lingxiang sighed deeply, "I don't know what's good for me..."
Long Qi just listened silently. He didn't know how to comfort Lingxiang. After Lingxiang said this, she never spoke again.
He waited for a long time but did not hear Lingxiang's voice. When he wanted to turn around to look at her, he suddenly felt a weight on his back. Lingxiang was leaning on him.
"I don't know why you resent her," Long Qi said carefully, "but she is your mother. No mother wants to see her child suffer."
"Yes..." Lingxiang responded softly, with a slight smile on her lips. A low vibration came from Long Qi's back, just like the slapping in her hazy memory, which made her feel very safe and comfortable. She couldn't help but lean even deeper.
Long Qi really didn't know how to comfort the softness behind him. It was not until now that he realized that he always said that he liked Lingxiang, but he knew very little about her. On the contrary, Lingxiang knew him very well and always considered him in everything.
In the past, Long Qi found it strange that a girl, a stranger from outside the world, would run a shop in the mortal world and do business. Now he understood. Now he thought that she had pain in her heart and could only forget it by hiding the troubles.
When he thought that Lingxiang was the only one at Qingwei Peak, he felt that he had to say something.
"You don't need to feel resentful. The past may have been cold, but from now on I will be with you. If you feel unhappy, I will make you happy. If someone bullies you, I will fight back for you and never let you suffer again..."
The ordinary yet affectionate words did not elicit any response from Lingxiang. He did not know what Lingxiang was thinking, but he was extremely serious.
Long Qi turned sideways to ask Lingxiang what she was thinking, but Lingxiang almost fell to the ground. Long Qi quickly turned around and hugged him, only to find that the little person in his arms had fallen asleep.
He finally managed to say these words, but she actually fell asleep!
Long Qi was a little angry, but when he saw the sleeping face of the little person in his arms, his expression gradually softened.
She trusted him so much that she could sleep peacefully on his back.
"Don't worry, I'll take care of everything from now on..."
The breeze picked up again, rippling the water in the pond.
