Chapter 138: A visitor came the day before the training
Lingxiang stroked the dragon-patterned jade in her hand. The jade seemed to still carry the body temperature of Long Qi. She just sat in the room, her mind was empty.
Before, she was wondering why she accepted the jade pendant. Long Qi didn't seem to say anything earth-shattering, so why did she accept it?
This is not at all like what is said in the storybook!
…
When Long Qi saw Lingxiang reaching out and holding the dragon-patterned jade, he couldn't help but feel very excited. He gently held Lingxiang's little hand that was holding the jade.
This hand is really small, too small indeed. Although it is small, it is not as delicate and tender as those young ladies in the boudoir. Instead, it is a bit rough. However, even with such a rough hand, when Long Qi held it like this, it was as if he was holding it in his heart.
"The reason I went to the Supreme Sect that day was actually because of a bet I made with those hooligans down the mountain. I bet that I would definitely be able to become a disciple of the Supreme Sect, but I got scared after I got up the mountain."
"If I hadn't been timid that time, I wouldn't have been sent to the guest room as a pilgrim, nor would I have happened to meet you there while you were using the Life-Extending Pill to save someone's life, and I wouldn't have secretly followed you because of the Life-Extending Pill."
"I'm truly glad to have met you. From the first moment I saw you, I thought you were a girl who didn't care about anything. But as we got along for a long time, I discovered that you're actually quite thoughtful, but you never reveal it to outsiders."
"Even if you don't say it, I naturally won't ask, but I know that you are actually the most vulnerable in your heart. You just don't know who to confide in or who to rely on."
"Although I'm always acting recklessly and always provoke you, I actually just want you to care about me and want you to be able to rely on me when you're vulnerable..."
When Long Qi said this, he was actually a little nervous. After talking for a long time, Lingxiang was stunned and didn't react at all. Even the little hand he held in his hand was motionless.
"I...I just want to be your support, I want..."
Before he could finish his words, Lingxiang shuddered, shook off Long Qi's hand in an instant, opened the door and ran out.
Long Qi was stunned at first, but when he looked at his hand again, he saw that the dragon-patterned jade had been taken away by Lingxiang. He immediately started laughing. After a long time, he felt embarrassed because of laughing. He scratched his head and walked out of the door to go to the kitchen.
But just as I walked out the door, I heard a light cough behind me.
Long Qi turned around in shock, only to see Xin Yi leaning against the door, looking at him with a smile, her face full of mischief.
"You...you...you, a grown man, actually eavesdropping at the...door corner..."
"I...I...I did listen to it, so what?" Xinyi replied uncharacteristically.
"You...you consider this a gentleman's behavior?!"
"I'm not a gentleman to begin with, so why not do this?"
Although Xinyi wanted to use Lingxiang to deal with Bai Wuchang at the beginning, after spending many days together, she began to treat Lingxiang more and more as her sister.
He was originally used as a killing tool by the demons, but Lingxiang, after knowing his identity, covered up for him in every possible way. Although she always said some sarcastic words to him, she always considered and planned for him in all matters.
Especially after knowing that Maidong was his ancestor, Xinyi seemed like a different person.
If my mother were not still in Bai Wuchang's hands, these days would be very good.
In fact, he had already changed when he was with Zhao Wuyang before, but he himself did not realize it. He probably thought of his younger brother.
His younger brother is also a pure and kind child like Wuyang.
And Long Qi has always treated him as a brother. Even after the previous murder in the sect, he never doubted him because of his identity. Because of this friendship, he sincerely hopes that the two of them can be together.
In fact, anyone with a discerning eye could see that Long Qi was interested in Ling Xiang, and from the bits and pieces that Mai Dong revealed when he came, one could also sense that Ling Xiang actually cared about Long Qi, but perhaps she herself was inexperienced, so she felt so awkward.
Now that they've talked it out, everyone is happy. But...
"Where is Honeysuckle?" Long Qi asked after clearing his throat.
Upon hearing this, Xinyi straightened up, walked up to Long Qi, and patted him on the shoulder.
"I think you know what he's thinking."
Long Qi was silent for a while after hearing this. After the Lantern Festival, he took care of Rendong and they had talked about this matter. He naturally understood it.
Seeing that Long Qi didn't answer, Xin Yi sighed: "Give him some time. He just happened to be going down the mountain, so it will pass slowly."
…
Lingxiang held the dragon-patterned jade in her hand in a daze for a while, smiling from time to time, but after laughing, she became annoyed again.
She was annoyed that she had taken the jade pendant like that. She didn't feel any of the love and affection in the picture book.
I should have just left it there and let that guy get anxious! Now that I've taken it, it's like I'm asking for it but no one wants it!
Or, give it back to him now?
But when he said that just now, I was just stunned for a moment, and my face was burning with anger when I came out. Now I have finally hidden in the house, how can I have the nerve to see him again.
Besides, I saw Xinyi when I came out. This Maidong family is really not good at handling things. Can you eavesdrop on something like this?!
Just when Lingxiang was confused and torn, she heard someone knocking on the door.
When Mai Dong arrived, she happened to see Long Qi and Xin Yi chatting in the courtyard. She stared at Xin Yi in a daze for a moment, thinking that her Xin Yi was just beautiful, much more beautiful than that clueless Long Qi. But after a moment, she came to her senses—now was not the time for romantic relationships, but for serious matters.
Long Qi and the others also noticed Mai Dong and were about to greet her when she rushed towards Ling Xiang's room like a gust of wind. However, Ling Xiang's door was bolted. Mai Dong, who was always a jerk in Xian Yun Ju, was unable to push the door open in time and was almost hit in the face.
What the hell is this Lingxiang doing?
Maidong muttered to himself as he reached out and knocked on the door.
She knocked on the door so loudly that even Rendong, who was hiding in the kitchen thinking about something, was forced to leave the house.
Maidong seemed to be completely unaware that she did not look like a woman at all. She just knocked on the door and called Lingxiang, saying something was wrong and asked her to open the door quickly.
At this moment, the door suddenly opened, and Maidong almost hit Lingxiang with his fist. Fortunately, Lingxiang dodged in time and escaped the disaster - this honeysuckle's wrist strength should not be underestimated!
Lingxiang dodged it, but it was a pity for Rendong. She lost control of her strength and was about to fall down. However, Lingxiang grabbed her arms and saved her from falling.
"I am living in peace in this world. Even if you are trying to summon my soul in broad daylight, you shouldn't act like this. Those who know you are knocking on the door will think you are crying!" Lingxiang said calmly when she saw Long Qi and Xin Yi in the yard.
Long Qi smiled when he saw Ling Xiang. Ling Xiang saw this and quickly pulled Mai Dong into the house, slamming the door shut. Seeing this, Long Qi looked at Xin Yi, his eyes full of confusion. Xin Yi, however, smiled and made a gesture, clearly indicating that Ling Xiang was shy, but she remained silent.
Long Qi naturally understood and was smiling when the door opened again.
"Why didn't you tell me this earlier!" Lingxiang walked out of the door angrily, but walked past Long Qi in a hurry without even looking at him.
Long Qi was confused again, and hurriedly pulled Mai Dong who was following behind to ask the reason.
"A group of people came down the mountain, saying they were here to ask for medicine and to exchange ideas. I don't think they're that kind of people, but they seem to be here to cause trouble."
