Chapter 43: Misunderstanding is resolved and the mind is deep
Lingxiang's shout stunned everyone present, especially Long Qicheng.
No one would have thought that such a petite person could be so full of energy.
Long Qi was amazed. It turned out that the deafening sound of the sound transmission talisman that Shangqing Zhenren opened that day was not caused by the power of the talisman, but was actually roared out by this girl!
"Although the two of you haven't decided the winner yet, the fight was truly spectacular. I'm very happy to watch it," Lingxiang said, pulling out a handful of pine seeds from somewhere. "But in my opinion, Chengqi is the better one."
When Long Qi heard her say this, he felt a little unhappy.
"Since the outcome hasn't been decided yet, why do you say he's better?"
Seeing him like this, Liu Xia and the other two quietly stepped back a few steps, leaving space for the three of them.
"Needless to say? I've studied hard on my own and I've been able to fight you like this. If you're not convinced, how about you try to challenge me with your soft sword?"
After hearing this, Long Qi was speechless in rebuttal - the reason why he could fight Cheng Qi so well was really because of his weapons and sword techniques.
"Okay, now that everyone is gathered here today, let's clear up the misunderstanding!" Lingxiang said, leaning against a big rock and cracking pine seeds again.
Misunderstanding? What misunderstanding?
Zhao Wuyang was confused and looked at Liu Xia.
Liu Xia thought about it and realized that Lingxiang was referring to the incident in the shared kitchen. He stepped forward and said, "It was clearly him who started the last incident. Everyone saw it clearly. How could it be a misunderstanding?"
Lingxiang peeled pine seeds without looking up and said, "Let's put that matter aside for now. From what I know, you two have always been at odds with each other. The root of it is nothing more than false rumors spread among the disciples."
Indeed, the reason why he disliked Zhao Wuyang was because he hated people who took advantage of loopholes, which was why he took such action.
Cheng Qi thought about it and said so.
"In that case, you're wrong." Lingxiang had unknowingly peeled a handful of pine seeds, then stood up and looked at Cheng Yu. "I'm pleased that you're diligent in your work, but when it comes to things, you must personally seek the truth before making a definitive conclusion."
Seeing Lingxiang approaching, Long Qi stood between her and Chengqi calmly.
"What do you mean by opportunistic? I really don't know whether to laugh at your inability to distinguish right from wrong, or at your rudeness and recklessness."
Lingxiang couldn't help but smack her lips when she heard this.
"The elders are giving a lecture, and you, a junior, are interrupting. You really deserve a beating."
Long Qi was scolded and felt a little annoyed - what elder, she was clearly just a little girl!
Although he was a little unhappy, he still stood between the two of them.
Seeing him like this, Xinyi found it so amusing that she almost laughed out loud.
Cheng Yu was not angry when he heard this. Since the Peak Master said so, there must be some misunderstanding.
"I don't know who spread this rumor, but Wuyang went to see my senior brother that day not to ask him to be his disciple, but to ask him to come down the mountain to treat his mother's illness." Lingxiang said and looked at Zhao Wuyang.
When Zhao Wuyang saw Lingxiang looking at him, he knew that she wanted him to explain, so he told Yu Chengqi what he had done that day and why he went up the mountain.
"It's not that I'm biased, it's because Maidong and I were the first to go to the Zhao Mansion that day. And the wife of the Zhao Mansion was ill with a demon. If Brother Fuyin hadn't arrived in time, I'm afraid we would be in danger." Lingxiang added to prevent Cheng Yu from disbelieving her.
Cheng Yu had no doubts. Since the young peak master had personally confirmed it, it must be true.
In that case, I was wrong.
Cheng Qi hurriedly knelt down to apologize to Zhao Wuyang, repeatedly saying that he was wrong and had hurt Wuyang, and asked for forgiveness.
Seeing him like this, Lingxiang felt that this man was not bad. Senior Brother Zhaoming had a unique vision. Although this man was a bit reckless, he was straightforward and diligent in seeking the truth. He was a promising talent.
When Liu Xia saw Cheng Yu like this, he didn't feel the slightest bit of resentment towards him for what he had done before. Not only that, he even felt a good impression of him. This man, like him, hated evil and was able to humble himself and apologize to Wu Yang, and there didn't seem to be any reluctance on his face. It seemed that he was a man of good nature.
Seeing Cheng Yu like this, Zhao Wuyang hurried forward to support him, saying that it was not a serious matter and not to worry, but he was too short to support him.
Seeing Zhao Wuyang like this, Cheng Yu felt even more guilty. He thought that Zhao Wuyang was so broad-minded at such a young age. What he had done was really against the way of a gentleman - although he never considered himself a gentleman.
Thinking of this, he kowtowed four times to apologize, and then stood up with the help of Zhao Wuyang's hand.
…
As soon as Long Qi came out of the outer disciples' courtyard, he looked unhappy. Ling Xiang, on the other hand, looked quite indifferent and continued to crack pine seeds as if there were endless of them. The constant "crackling" sound made him feel a little irritated.
"Is this thing so delicious? I heard the sound of you peeling the shells during the competition, and it kept distracting me." Long Qi finally couldn't stand it anymore and started complaining.
"It's not that it tastes so good, I just had nothing to do, and this pine cone is shaped like a peak, which has a higher meaning. Its seeds can also nourish the body, so eating more of it will always have some benefits." Lingxiang said, putting a seed in her mouth.
"You!" Long Qi was speechless for a moment, not knowing what to say - this woman's thoughts were always different from those of ordinary people, and could not be judged by common sense...
Seeing the two of them like this, Liu Xia hurriedly pulled Xinyi, who immediately understood what he meant and pulled Zhao Wuyang back to the room.
Poor Zhao Wuyang was still diligently peeling the fruit Lingxiang had given him. He had no idea how Lingxiang had managed to peel so many pieces so easily. He stumbled and nearly dropped the fruit.
"You..." Long Qi spoke with difficulty. He wanted to ask what the relationship between Lingxiang and Chengqi was, but he didn't know how to start.
Lingxiang was puzzled when she saw him like this.
"If you have something to say, just say it. Why are you hesitating? You're not a lady from a wealthy family, are you still embarrassed?"
Isn't it embarrassing? For Long Qi, this is the first time he asked a woman such a question, although he has never considered Lingxiang a woman.
"You...you care so much about Cheng Qi, don't you think...think...think he is good?" He finally asked, but it felt like his tongue was tied.
Lingxiang was thinking that no matter whether Cheng Yu's heart knot was untied or not, at least she could handle the task entrusted by Master Zhao Ming. She was also planning when to go to his temple and get the Fire Spirit Pearl, but she didn't pay attention to Long Qi.
"Naturally, he's excellent. Although a bit reckless, he's generally a good person."
When Long Qi heard Lingxiang say this, he became anxious.
"You! How can you think he's good? You already have me!"
"W-what?" Lingxiang looked puzzled. What did he mean by "he's here?" "Senior Brother Zhaoming thought Cheng Yu's character was acceptable and wanted to take him in as his disciple, but he seemed to be feeling a bit gloomy, so he asked me to come and help. Judging from what happened today, he's indeed a good guy."
So that’s how it is!
Long Qi looked at Lingxiang with clear eyes, black and white clearly distinguished, and there really was not much emotion in them.
"I... I mean... I thought you were planning to take him in as your disciple..." Long Qi covered up while touching his nose.
"Accept him as your disciple? Forget it, I find it troublesome to have you alone..." Lingxiang complained, then turned around and started to think about the Fire Spirit Pearl again.
This girl, I'm afraid she hasn't figured it out yet...
Long Qi breathed a long sigh of relief.
But did he come to his senses on his own?
