Chapter 28: Meeting an Old Friend While Searching for a Dragon at Midnight
Mai Dong was sighing in his heart about Long Qi's misfortune. When he met a master like Lingxiang, he was dragged to Zhuyuan by Lingxiang.
"Is this the night meeting with the lover mentioned in the storybook?" Maidong suddenly became excited.
"You're nothing!" Lingxiang rolled her eyes. "Why do you still want to 'drink' that righteous energy when you go back?"
"Since you are here to see my disciple, why are you acting like this? You are not going to look for the waiter in Qinlou, so what are you afraid of?" Maidong said this, but he also looked inside curiously.
"After all, it is the dormitory of male disciples. It is not appropriate to go in openly." Lingxiang also leaned on the crack of the door and looked inside - there was no one in the main courtyard, which was very good.
Thinking that Long Qi had been away from her for some time, she didn't know if his martial arts skills had improved, but there was hope for him to be promoted to the inner sect. It would be better to go over quietly now to see if he was slacking off.
"You just asked Long Qi to serve you, why do you show your cowardice when the time comes?" Mai Dong's words were full of joking.
"There are differences between men and women, and I am a peak master after all. If I rush in and bump into someone, it will be embarrassing."
"When we were studying medicine together, you touched many men's bodies, but I never saw you show any shyness at that time. Why do you act like a lady from a noble family now?" Mai Dong said, reaching out to push open the courtyard door, but was pulled back by Lingxiang.
"After all, you are Sixth Senior Brother's closed disciple, yet you don't even bother to behave yourself. If your master finds out, he'll blame me for leading you astray."
Recalling their childhood, they often sneaked out of the mountain gate together. Every time they made some trouble, Master Fuyin would always scold her for not acting like a proper nun at all. Little did she know that many of the things were the brainchild of that damn girl Maidong.
As they were talking, the two of them sneaked in, but there were so many houses that they didn't know which one was Long Qi's.
The living quarters of the outer disciples of the Yuanqing School are roughly the same, with several houses surrounding a large courtyard with a bathhouse and a meditation room inside. The dormitories are built as two-story pavilions, with bedrooms on the upper floor and a small hall on the lower floor. Behind the pavilions, there are small courtyards.
At this time, all the disciples were practicing sword moves in the backyards of their respective pavilions, preparing for the martial arts performance in a few days.
It is easier to find someone if you stand high and see far. Lingxiang and Maidong discussed it and then one of them jumped onto the roof.
Sure enough, many disciples were practicing sword skills.
The monthly martial arts performances might seem ordinary, but in fact, if one makes a stunning debut or demonstrates his talent, impressing all the elders, then after being promoted to an inner disciple, one might even be accepted as a disciple by one of them.
Even if one performs mediocrely the first time, or loses to others, if one can improve on one's performance in each of the three performances, some elders will look at him differently.
The disciples knew what was going on and never slacked off.
Maidong knew Long Qi, so she and Lingxiang went to look for him separately. In order to avoid being discovered by other disciples and causing trouble, Lingxiang gave each of them a hidden talisman in their arms, and then they walked carefully on the tiles.
When they found the second courtyard, they saw Long Qi. He was practicing sword techniques with the other three people, but his sword-wielding skills were so unbearable that even Lingxiang, an outsider, couldn't bear to watch. The disciple with him was thin and tall, and his sword-wielding skills were also terrible.
But he was quite handsome, with a good-looking face, fair complexion, straight nose, bright eyes and red lips. But I seemed to have seen his eyebrows somewhere before, but I couldn't remember where.
"Bang!"
Lingxiang was still trying to recall where she had seen such a handsome young man when she was suddenly interrupted by the sound of Long Qi throwing his sword.
"This damn sword technique is so weak! If I were to use it to subdue a demon, I'm afraid the demon would tear my sword to pieces before I even unsheathe it. It's so useless, I might as well not practice it!"
This fellow didn't learn the sword well himself, but he blamed it on his sword skills. It was just an ordinary sword move, not some magical technique.
However, what was unexpected was that Liu Xia also joined the Yuanqing School.
"Don't you remember teaching me to give up halfway when faced with difficulties?"
Forget it, since Qingwei Peak is short of someone to serve tea and water, I might as well go down and help him.
When Long Qi heard this, his heart started pounding - he was very familiar with the person who came!
He hurriedly stood up from the boulder and searched everywhere, almost trying to pry open the cracks in the stone.
"Don't look for it, it's up there!"
Looking up, it was indeed spiritual incense.
But today she seems a little different from before, and looks more beautiful.
Could it be because she changed her clothes?
Lingxiang suddenly jumped down from the roof, her clothes fluttering like a fairy descending to earth. The bell on her waist rang like the music from heaven, and Long Qi was stunned by her.
This little girl isn't that ugly...
As soon as Lingxiang stood still, Liu Xia hurried forward to greet her. Long Qi thought she had come to visit him specially, but unexpectedly, she started talking to Liu Xia and the other three.
"Miss Lingxiang, I haven't seen you for a long time. You are really different now."
"What's the difference? Do you mean more detached and otherworldly?" Lingxiang asked with a smile.
"It's more than just a drop of dust, it's like a fairy from the sky, making you unable to take your eyes off it."
Why didn’t I realize a few days ago that Liu Xia was such a good talker? I underestimated him.
"It's been a while since we last met. You look..." Lingxiang said, raising her hand and poking Liu Xia's chest, "You seem to be a lot stronger."
She is actually being inappropriate towards other men. Doesn't she know that as a woman she should have self-respect?
"No, no, if you practice every day, you will definitely make some progress." Liu Xia dodged and smiled shyly.
"I didn't expect you to become Yuan Qing's disciple. I'm afraid you sneaked out again without telling Lord Liu!" Lingxiang joked.
"How dare I? I was allowed to join the mountain sect because of the strong recommendation of the immortal Chi Yanzi and the permission of my parents." Liu Xia scratched his head.
Got it? He's so slick and smooth, it's better to lock him up at home and keep him under close watch, so he doesn't come out and cause trouble for the girl.
That old man Chi Yanzi only makes things more difficult for others!
"Young lady, are you the fairy from Youran Residence?" Zhao Wuyang interrupted at this time.
"It's me," Lingxiang turned around and saw a young man with red lips, white teeth, delicate eyebrows and eyes. He still had a childish look on his face, which was very cute. She couldn't help but pinch his face, "Whose young master are you?"
Wuyang is still young, but this woman actually wants to touch him. She is so shameless!
"Cough!" Long Qi pretended to cough, but Lingxiang acted as if he didn't hear it and started rubbing Wuyang's face.
"Miss...don't...don't do this..." Zhao Wuyang struggled to break free from Lingxiang's clutches and hid behind Liu Xia.
Good job, Wuyang. Stay away from this she-beast! Don't let her take advantage of you!
"My family is from the Zhao family in Guyangcheng. A few days ago, my mother wrote to me saying that thanks to the young lady's help, I am now doing much better. I will never forget your kindness. Thank you very much!" Zhao Wuyang only showed his eyes, spoke hurriedly, and then retracted his eyes.
"..." Lingxiang's eyes flickered, and after a moment's pause, she spoke, "Ah~ So it's the son of Madam Qiao. He really does look like her..."
Before she finished speaking, she turned and walked towards Xinyi.
"This gentleman looks very familiar. Have we met him before?"
Long Qi suddenly felt upset - was this female tiger doing this on purpose? She actually walked right past him and spoke to Xinyi.
"No." Xinyi was as frugal with words as ever.
"I feel like your features look familiar, could it be..." Lingxiang reached out to touch his face. Xinyi was about to dodge when she heard Maidong on the roof calling her.
"You're so good, Lingxiang! You said not to disturb others, but instead you..." Before he could finish his words, a tile came loose and he fell down.
Before Lingxiang could turn around, Xinyi leaped up and caught Maidong in mid-air. When Lingxiang turned around, the two of them had already landed steadily.
