Chapter 59: Confessing without Concealment
Perhaps it was to get rid of Liu Xia and Xinyi's torture as soon as possible, or perhaps it was because of the strong effect of the spiritual incense, Long Qi's body recovered abnormally quickly. In just four days, he was almost fully recovered. On this day, he was able to go to the courtyard and practice two sets of sword moves.
But as he practiced, his mind drifted elsewhere: Lingxiang hadn't come to visit him for a long time. Could it be that she really annoyed him this time?
But Lingxiang didn't always come to the bamboo garden before, and she had never seen him so distracted.
Lingxiang has not had a good time these past two days. She no longer visits the Elders Peak as before, and she no longer goes to the Prisoner Cloud Peak to hide for the winter in the cold weather.
Although this made all the elders very surprised, Master Zhao Ming breathed a sigh of relief: this little devil could finally have a few days of peace, and he didn't have to worry about the treasures in his palace anymore.
To ask why Lingxiang was like this, firstly, she decided to start refining a dose of Dafufang's inner fire pill, and secondly, it was because what Long Qi did that day always made her absent-minded.
No matter what she did in recent days, she would often think of what happened that day, as if Long Qi's kiss had become her inner demon, always lingering in her mind and could not be dispelled, so she decided to refine the elixir to clear her mind.
But even her forte, alchemy, couldn't help her concentrate. Even when she was preparing the fire for the ingredients in the old cauldron, her mind wandered when she added the yellow tooth. She pried the yellow tooth powder with a bamboo stick, her mind wandering somewhere else.
That day, she was in the courtyard igniting the fire in the alchemy furnace when she saw Master Fuyin coming to the door with two disciples.
"Ah! Isn't this Sixth Senior Brother? What a rare guest! Why are you thinking about me when I'm not going to Prison Cloud Peak? You even come to visit me at Xianyunju in such a cold weather?" Lingxiang said as she put away her skills and stood up.
When Master Fuyin heard this, he just glanced at her, then told his two disciples to wait in the yard, and then went into the house with his hands behind his back.
Seeing this, Lingxiang knew that he had something to say, so she asked the two disciples to keep an eye on the fire and followed him in.
As soon as she entered the door, Master Fuyin threw a book to her. Lingxiang looked down and saw that it was the book "The Secret Play of Hehuan".
"Look at you! Where did you get this book as a girl? And you gave it to Maidong. How disrespectful!" Master Fuyin asked with a look of hatred on his face.
Lingxiang flipped through the book casually and replied with a smile: "I thought it was nothing, isn't it just a little book of night talk? Why are you so angry, brother? It's not a big deal."
"Isn't that all?" Seeing Lingxiang flipping through the book nonchalantly, Master Fuyin quickly snatched it away and threw it on the table.
"If I hadn't seen Long Qi's sword moves, I'm afraid I wouldn't have known that there were such terrible things in my storage room!"
Lingxiang's eyes lit up when she heard that.
"What? Did Maidong find your little treasury?"
Upon hearing this, Master Fuyin secretly thought something was amiss and quickly said, "Are you talking about the matter of my secret room? You're talking about your behavior. Even if the entire sect were turned upside down, you wouldn't find another person who could come up with such a stupid idea! And you actually ordered Maidong to do it. Is this something a virgin would do?"
Lingxiang rolled her eyes when she heard this: "Do you think your Maidong is an honest child? He is no less evil than her."
"If you want to borrow the sword technique, just tell me. Why bother?" Master Fuyin knocked on the table and sat down. "This Lingxiang! It's outrageous!"
Lingxiang, however, looked as if it had nothing to do with her. As Master Fuyin sat down, she also sat aside, crossed her legs, poured a cup of tea and handed it to him.
"Brother, you're here to find me and ask for an explanation. No wonder you're so angry."
Master Fuyin took the cup, but ignored Lingxiang and just drank the tea in the cup.
When Lingxiang saw him like this, she knew that he was really angry, so she quickly changed her face and started acting coquettishly.
"Hey~ I'm not afraid of you, brother, and I'm unwilling to lend it to me out of friendship. Besides, I'm also concerned about you, right?"
"Care about me?" Master Fuyin pointed at the "Secret Play of Hehuan" on the table. Even the cover was punctured, which made Lingxiang feel heartbroken - this is a rare copy!
"You call this caring about me? Tell me, how can you call this caring about me?"
"Oh, of course I care. In the sect, from the eldest to the fourth senior brothers, they all have over a hundred people, and they are all Taoists who practice asceticism. There is not much use in sending this over. Although Senior Brother Zhao Ming is also over a hundred, he has a family and children. I think he should have several grandchildren in his generation. And what about you? Although you have a high level of cultivation, you are only in your prime years, and you have never had any happy events. Seeing this, I really can't bear it! Such an extraordinary person is actually still innocent. It would be a joke if people told others about it." Lingxiang said, sipping a sip of hot tea.
Upon hearing this, Master Fuyin was extremely upset: This is what a girl said, it would be better not to listen to her!
"If you really wanted to ask me for it for the sake of your disciple, I would have lent it to you out of consideration for the friendship between senior and junior brothers. But you actually had such a perverse reasoning. Listen to what you said, do you have any self-respect that a woman should have?"
"Hey! As a cultivator, why should you care about these empty words? They are just topics of gossip for others." Lingxiang said indifferently.
When Master Fuyin heard her say this, he laughed.
"I don't care about it now. Who cared about other people's opinions in the past and was afraid that others would say that their cultivation was shallow?"
When Lingxiang heard what Master Fuyin said, she jumped up like a cat whose tail was stepped on.
"Do I care what others think? I'm practicing for myself. Besides, how can these two be the same thing?!"
Seeing her like this, Master Fuyin's eyes actually showed a hint of smile, but he stopped abruptly after seeing the book on the table: No! I was almost led astray by this girl.
He cleared his throat and said, "Anyway, as a girl, can't you be a little more reserved? Don't just read any book, or you'll lead Maidong astray!"
Lead her astray? That damn girl herself is a worthless person!
Lingxiang thought so, but sat down, sipped a mouthful of hot tea and said, "As for the book exchange, I think you shouldn't be too picky with me. After all, it was you who took my book and printed it without permission, so this can be considered as a settlement."
When Master Fuyin heard this, he was speechless. It was his fault in the first place, and he even agreed to the girl's request in front of all the senior brothers in the hall. He really shot himself in the foot.
Lingxiang escorted Master Fuyin out of Xianyunju with a bright look on her face, while Master Fuyin had a serious expression on his face, which frightened the two disciples so much that they dared not ask any more questions.
Just when the three of them had flown a short distance, they heard a loud "bang" behind them. The three were shocked. Master Fuyin turned around and saw flames rising into the sky in the direction of Xianyunju.
Could it be that something went wrong with Lingxiang's alchemy?!
