Chapter 39: Exploring Long Qi Again Causes Controversy
The rustling sound of swords could not cover up Lingxiang Maidong's quarreling. Only two "thumps" were heard, and the two men stood in front of Long Qi and the other three.
The four of them were all startled and stood still for a moment, unable to move.
Lingxiang also saw the naked bodies of several people at this time. Not to mention Zhao Wuyang, the clear lines and distinct physiques of the three people really made her eyes light up.
Although Zhao Wuyang was wearing a middle-length shirt and his figure was a bit thin, the exposed parts of his body had some subtle edges and corners.
Ah! Her little Wuyang has become a brave man. It seems that the training in the past two months has not been in vain!
Just as Lingxiang was enjoying the feast for her eyes and daydreaming, Maidong screamed "Ah!" and hurriedly covered his face with his hands and turned around. His movement was so big that he almost knocked Lingxiang over.
With Mai Dong's "Ah", Long Qi and the other three finally reacted. They hurriedly dropped the long swords in their hands, picked up the clothes and put them on without caring whether they were their own clothes or not. However, in their panic, they couldn't put them on properly, and they couldn't put them on for a long time.
Seeing that Lingxiang had no sense of shame and was still staring at her, Long Qi didn't care whether he was dressed properly or not. He picked up the clothes on the ground and used them as a curtain to cover Liu Xia and Xinyi.
"You enter and leave a man's yard as if it were an empty place, and when you see a shirtless man, you stare at him straight on. You have no shame at all. Do you know how to spell the word shame?" Long Qi scolded while urging the two people beside him to hurry up and get dressed.
"I'm also a half-doctor, and an elder, so why should I be ashamed?" Lingxiang walked slowly to the attic steps and sat down. "Besides, I've already helped you untie your belt. I've seen you naked before, so why are you still ashamed now?"
As soon as the words came out, Long Qi almost bit his tongue, and Mai Dong was even more astonished - these two people actually secretly practiced spiritual cultivation in Youranju without her knowledge! It's simply... simply...
She was so envious!
If Xinyi and her...
Maidong thought so and turned around in a daze, but he didn't know where his eyes were focused. He just seemed to be staring at Xinyi without blinking.
Seeing her like this, Long Qi knew that she was thinking wrongly. He then looked at Liu Xia and Xinyi, both of them were staring at him motionlessly, forgetting to put on their clothes. Even Zhao Wuyang behind him stopped tying his belt, with a look of disbelief on his face.
"You...you listen to me...things...things are not what you think..." Long Qi had a difficult and obscure expression on his face. He wanted to explain himself but didn't know how to start.
Turning his head to look at Lingxiang who was sitting there wrapped in a cotton coat, he couldn't help feeling depressed.
"Lingxiang! Give me back my innocence!!"
…
"I'm in a good mood today. Tell me, is there anything you don't understand about your cultivation? While I'm here, I can give you some pointers." Lingxiang put on the airs of a peak master and sat carefree on the chair. Wrapped in a thick cotton-padded jacket and holding a cup of hot tea, he looked like a rich man living at the foot of the mountain.
Zhao Wuyang had never seen such behavior before. When he was a child and went to the palace, his uncle never behaved like this. He was so frightened that he quickly shrank behind Xinyi.
Seeing her like this, Xinyi found it rather amusing. Fortunately, they had become somewhat familiar with each other these days, otherwise she would have thought she was acting like a peak master. However, in this situation, it really did look like a rich man scolding his servant. Looking at Zhao Wuyang, who was cowering behind him, she couldn't help but smile and reached out to touch his head.
When Maidong saw Xinyi like this, he suddenly felt that he had a kind heart, just like the knights in the storybooks, who fought against violence and protected the good - he eliminated the evil and kept the people safe.
When Lingxiang saw Maidong's wandering eyes, she knew that she was daydreaming again. She coughed lightly, but it didn't work. She could only pull her dress to warn her to be more restrained.
Long Qi was displeased after hearing Lingxiang's words: "Happy today, what are you happy about? Are you happy just seeing a few naked men? I really don't understand what's wrong with this girl's brain. She always does things that are incomprehensible to ordinary people."
In comparison, Liu Xia had a calm expression on his face. Lingxiang asked him this, which he really wanted. He bowed solemnly and asked the question in his mind.
Seeing him like this, Long Qi was furious. He had been seen, yet he acted as if nothing had happened and even interrupted Ling Xiang. Thinking this, he pulled Liu Xia's clothes and whispered in her ear.
"I just think that what Master Lingxiang said makes sense. Since she is a doctor, she looks at us like meat on a chopping board. It can't be said that she is being taken advantage of." Liu Xia said solemnly, without any sign of embarrassment in the courtyard just now.
Even Xinyi, who usually kept her composure, was startled after hearing these words: It was as if Lingxiang was the knife and the others were the fish on the chopping board. It felt extremely awkward no matter how she thought about it.
"That's quite a fresh idea," Lingxiang was quite satisfied with what she heard, and smiled at Liu Xia in appreciation. "The path of cultivation is inherently bumpy. If it were smooth, wouldn't everyone be able to become an immortal? Encountering bottlenecks on the path of cultivation is actually a good thing. If you can break through, you might even reach a higher level of cultivation. Even if you can't, it will make your future path of cultivation smoother."
Lingxiang said as she took a sip of hot tea.
"As for how to break through, there's no rush. Look at me, I've been doing it all these years, never rushing. Opportunities aren't always there. Maybe I'll figure it out after a good night's sleep today, or maybe I'll get a flash of inspiration after a meal tomorrow. Just do your best, and let fate decide the rest."
Maidong was stunned when he heard this: If Lingxiang was not in a hurry, how could Qingwei Peak be in such a beautiful state? All the events of these years seemed as vivid as yesterday. Someone who never accepted his fate would actually say something like "it's destined". This was really unlike Lingxiang in the past.
However, after hearing these words, Liu Xia's anxiety and depression inexplicably calmed down. After thinking for a moment, he bowed solemnly to Lingxiang.
Lingxiang stroked her temples, waved her hand pretentiously, and raised her eyebrows at Long Qi with an air of profound Taoist knowledge.
When Long Qi saw her looking at him, his heart started beating wildly, as if he had forgotten what happened in the courtyard just now. He actually asked her about the sword technique honestly. After he said it, he was shocked to realize: what is there to be afraid of?
Lingxiang listened to him and pondered for a long time before speaking:
"As expected..."
This was puzzling, and everyone looked at Lingxiang with a confused look on their faces.
"When I first got this sword manual, I flipped through it, but I saw that it only contained sword moves, and some of the moves were not coherent. Normally, a set of sword manuals shouldn't be this thick, and this one looks like it was made by mistake..."
After hearing Lingxiang's speculation, Long Qi felt the same way. Some of the moves were indeed abrupt, but why was that? Furthermore, some of the moves in this sword manual looked incredibly familiar, as if someone had performed them before him, yet he couldn't quite remember them.
"Didn't you say that you are not very good at fighting? Why do you act like an expert now?" Mai Dong suddenly interrupted Long Qi's thoughts.
"Hey, haven't you eaten meat or seen a living thing? You've seen your master and uncles practicing swords since you were a child. Even the dumbest person can get the hang of it." Speaking of living things, she has been coveting many spiritual beasts on Yinyu Peak for a long time. She has wanted to catch one or two to satisfy her tooth since she was a child, but she was always caught by her two senior brothers Danyang and Danzhu. I really don't know what's wrong with their eyes.
"In that case..." Maidong looked at Xinyi eagerly, and Xinyi was startled by his gaze. "Xinyi, is there anything you don't understand? Tell me quickly and let the Peak Master help you solve it!"
