Chapter 33: Jealousy without knowing it
After the martial arts performance, the result has not been announced yet, but the news that there is a young peak master in Qingwei Peak has spread like wildfire. The outer disciples are telling each other about it and spreading the story of the spiritual incense as if it is magical.
They also said that although she was young, she had great skills, and that she was as beautiful as a fairy and had an irresistible aura. Although there were many different opinions, they were all full of praise.
For a moment, all the outer disciples who had never seen Lingxiang wanted to see her beauty.
"Hmph! Such flattery! Such flattery!" Long Qi came in from outside, drank a glass of water, slapped the table and sat down.
Liu Xia and Zhao Wuyang were studying the "Gui Yuan Jing" when Long Qi slapped them like this, startling them so much that they hurriedly asked what was going on.
"That tigress Lingxiang is not as good as they say. They spread it like it's true, as if they've seen it before!" Long Qi said angrily, "She's trying to show off her beauty and graceful demeanor. Has she lost her sight?"
Liu Xia was shocked when he heard this. It seemed that the Lingxiang was not entirely false. Thinking so, he said it out loud.
"You! Whose side do you think you are on?" Long Qi was angry.
"I also think Miss Lingxiang deserves the title of beauty. She is indeed quite pretty." Zhao Wuyang said seriously, "Although she is a bit fierce..."
"Wuyang, you are still young, you don't understand, a beautiful woman should be..."
Liu and Zhao were still waiting for Long Qi to continue, but he couldn't say anything. When he mentioned beauties, the clothes that flashed through his mind was Lingxiang's clothes in Cangzhou, which made him stunned.
"I'm afraid he's so angry because someone said he wants to become a disciple of the Qingwei Peak master." Xinyi said while wiping his sword.
Liu Xia understood what she meant and turned to look at Xinyi.
"Could it be him..."
The latter looked up and gave him a look that indicated exactly that, then lowered his head to wipe the sword in his hand.
"Worship that she-beast? All the elders in the sect are highly skilled. Even Senior Brother Han Yang is stronger than her. I wonder if they've all been blinded by greed or something, yet they still want to follow her?!"
"Then why did you choose Miss Lingxiang as your master?" Zhao Wuyang was puzzled when he saw Long Qi like this and asked hurriedly.
"I..." Long Qi was speechless for a moment and could only prevaricate: "You are still young! You don't understand!"
Zhao Wuyang was confused and turned to look at Xinyi. The latter nodded and smiled back, then lowered her head and fiddled with the sword in her hand.
…
"You are quite famous now. You are widely known among the outer disciples." Mai Dong said, supporting his head.
"Hey, the rumors are true, it's true, what can I do?"
Hearing Lingxiang say this, Maidong couldn't help but roll his eyes, and suddenly felt that this was always the case when he was with this girl recently.
"I brought the sword techniques to you, don't forget to send them to you."
"Don't forget to send the "Water-Breaking Art" to Xinyi!" Lingxiang looked at Maidong with a playful look on her face.
Maidong blushed when he was looked at and quickly turned his head away.
"I heard from Master that your apprentice's swordsmanship is really not that good. We don't know what the next martial arts competition will be. If he continues like this, there will be no hope of promotion."
"Long Qi is already my disciple, no matter what happens. No matter the outcome, he will eventually belong to Qingwei Peak," Lingxiang said, picking up an orange from the table and peeling it. "Zhao Wuyang has good talent. According to Hanyang, he's very much in Senior Brother Qianyuan's favor. Liu Xia's performance is also not bad, and he's also been recommended by Senior Chi Yanzi. But this Xinyi..."
"What's wrong with Xinyi?" Maidong said angrily, "I think he's very handsome and dignified. How is he inferior to others?"
It's really fun to tease this young girl in love.
"It does look like a jade or a sceptre, but what about the swordsmanship..." Lingxiang carefully picked off the orange stems and gathered them together - this is a good medicine.
"Besides, he is not good at speaking. It seems that the future is worrying!" He glanced at Maidong and pretended to sigh.
…
Long Qi was still feeling depressed, Xin Yi was still wiping her sword, and when Zhao Wuyang asked Liu Xia why, he heard the voice of the guiding boy outside the door.
"Master Fu Cang, please come this way."
Fu Cang? Who is Fu Cang? Is there another Peak Master in the sect? I've never heard of him.
Long Qi was confused but didn't want to pay attention. Liu Xia and Zhao Wuyang looked at each other, but Xinyi remained calm and put the polished sword back into the scabbard.
"Hey, Xiao Yuanhui, I've told you so many times not to mention this name again, how come you forgot it again?"
This voice was actually Lingxiang. What was she doing here?
"Forget it, forget it. Just go down and follow us." Lingxiang waved her hands helplessly.
The little Taoist boy named Yuan Hui smiled, said yes, bowed to Lingxiang and left the courtyard.
After the boy called Yuanhui left, Lingxiang and Maidong walked into Long Qi's room with ease.
"Ah! Why are you all so relaxed today? You're all indoors." Lingxiang sat down next to Long Qi as if the room was her own. As soon as she entered the room, she sat down beside him casually.
Seeing Lingxiang like this, Long Qi felt a little uncomfortable - he was just saying bad things about her. Could it be that he had used some magic tricks in the house and could tell everything just by telling her?
"You...what are you doing here?"
"Look at what you said. Your master came to see you, but you are not happy?" Lingxiang said as she poured herself a glass of water and started drinking.
Liu Xia and Zhao Wuyang laughed unabashedly upon seeing this. Long Qi frowned and looked over, only to see that Xin Yi had been stopped in a corner by Mai Dong.
This astonished him to the point of forgetting to care about Liu and Zhao's unrestrained behavior. He hadn't met Maidong much, but he knew him somewhat. While his temperament was similar to Lingxiang's, Lingxiang's female tiger was even more wicked. And the last time he saw her, she was quite quiet. Xinyi might be a bit dull, but he was a man after all. How could he be driven to such a state?
Long Qi was very confused and turned to look at Lingxiang, only to see that she was looking at Xinyi and Maidong with a look of relief.
Relieved?
I haven't seen her for a few days. Could it be that this tigress taught Mai Dong some bad ideas? No wonder the elder in charge of punishment looked unhappy when he heard that Mai Dong went to Youran Residence. So that's how it is.
Long Qi thought so, but he didn't know what Lingxiang was thinking at this moment: It was worth her earnest advice before coming here, this girl is really teachable and can understand things at once.
…
"What did you say? Let me get closer to you!?" Maidong screamed and stood up.
Lingxiang, however, slowly picked up another orange and began to peel it as if nothing had happened.
"Yeah, what else can I do? Can I call someone else? It's just you and me here."
"No, no! What are you talking about! How can a girl do such a thing!" Maidong's face flushed and he sat down in frustration.
"What's wrong with being a girl? Aren't they also human beings? Besides, with Xinyi's personality, if you keep acting like this, when will it end? I heard that there are female disciples in the outer sect who are fond of him. If someone takes the initiative, don't blame me for not teaching you." Lingxiang said, taking out the "Water-Breaking Art" from her arms and placing it on the table, slowly pushing it towards Maidong.
"Here! I've given you this opportunity. As for whether you can grasp it, it's up to you." As he spoke, he tapped on the book.
Mai Dong turned his head to look at the sword technique on the table, thinking...
