Chapter 147: Donkey Lips, Horse Mouths, Chicken and Duck Theory
Long Qi returned to Xianyunju with the Cizhu Sword, but he was uneasy all day long. Even Maidong, who was pointing fingers at him, noticed that he was different.
This young man who is usually dull and stupid, actually is a thoughtful person?
And Xinyi was even more strange. Although she was usually silent, she had never been as worried as she was now.
What's wrong with these two people? Even if it's the Kunwu Sect's affairs, they wouldn't be so heartbroken. Could it be...
Could it be that these two people acted like this because of me?
Although he was in love with Xinyi and somewhat looked down on Long Qi, if this was really the case, it would really make him feel...
It really makes one feel excited!
I never thought that the situation in the storybook would actually happen to me. How could this not be exciting?!
But even so, I am a devoted woman after all. No matter how excited I am in my heart, I cannot show it. I must maintain the reserve of a girl like the ladies in the storybooks!
But it was because of me that these two brothers became like this. Even if I didn't like Long Qi, I had to make it clear. What if these two became enemies in the future? Wouldn't I be a femme fatale?
Alas~ Who made me so stunning and charming? Since I have caused this romantic resentment, it is naturally my responsibility to avoid disaster!
Thinking of this, Maidong walked towards the two people who were sitting in the yard, thinking about their own things.
"Ahem!" She cleared her throat. "Well... Long Qi, although I know your feelings, love can never be forced. As the old saying goes, a forced melon is not sweet. If you insist on doing this, we might not even be able to be friends in the future. It's better to let go and help someone else. Isn't that what a gentleman does?"
Hearing Mai Dong's words, Long Qi was immediately shocked. Even this idiot Mai Dong could see through his thoughts, so why was Ling Xiang still so obscure? After all, she was much smarter than the person in front of her...
but……
What does it mean to help others?
To help Lingxiang and Rendong get together? Or to help her and Xiaobai?
"I don't like what you're saying. Who says melons have to be sweet? There are so many melons that aren't sweet. Which of the wild melons, white melons, and white melons are sweet? Don't we still eat them? For some things, how can we know what the outcome will be if we don't fight for it? Besides, I'm not a gentleman. If I like someone, I'll naturally give it a try!"
Mai Dong gasped when he heard this. Long Qi was usually so clueless, he had never expected him to talk nonsense like this. But he couldn't really blame him. Perhaps his own damn charm had made him lose his mind...
"Alas, there are always beautiful women out there. You're so obsessed with one person, what if it makes her upset? If you love someone, you shouldn't make them feel awkward, right? Isn't letting go also a form of love?"
What was said in the storybook, now that I finally have the chance to speak it out, it really is true...
It feels so good!
"Why am I so caught up in this dilemma? I'm not some mountain bandit who would force anyone to do anything. Besides, whether I like you or not is my business. Since I like you, why would I let you go?"
This Maidong was truly strange. The ancients often said, "It's better to demolish a temple than to ruin a marriage." Although Lingxiang and I hadn't married yet, she had indeed accepted his jade pendant. After all, it was a token of our love, wasn't it?
Yes, since she accepted it, it means that she must have him in her heart.
So was this Qingfeng Jade Flute given to him or not?
Maidong felt a huge headache upon hearing this. She had tried so hard to persuade him because she didn't want to hurt Long Qi's feelings, but she didn't expect that this silly boy was actually so infatuated. The person she liked was Xinyi who was standing next to him!
Alas, in this kind of matter, it is better to suffer a short pain than a long one. It is best to cut the Gordian knot quickly to avoid resentment in the future. When that time comes, it will be too late.
Thinking this way, Mai Dong made up his mind: "Alas, I know it will be difficult for you to accept this, but there are some things that you have to let go of. Although I am naturally beautiful, after all, I... I have someone I like. You should let go of this idea as soon as possible. Who knows, you may meet someone more compatible with you in the future, right?"
this……
What kind of bullshit is this? What does it have to do with him if she has someone she likes? This crazy girl is chasing Xinyi around all day long, even a fool can tell that, but what does this have to do with his liking for Lingxiang?
Just as Long Qi was about to speak, he suddenly felt a warmth in his arms. He quickly reached out and took out a replacement talisman.
…
"It's time to close the net."
Upon hearing this, Master Xuan Huai looked at the chessboard. The white piece that was about to be surrounded and killed actually had a chance of life again.
"Ah~" Master Xuan Huai quickly pointed at Ling Xiang and said, "A true gentleman watches chess without saying a word. If I had two more pieces, I could have won this game. But you intervened and brought the white piece back from the dead."
Lingxiang smiled and sat on the couch. "I'm just telling you two a truth. As the saying goes, those involved are often confused, while those who are watching can see clearly. Look at my brother, a chess player, who is deeply trapped in the chess formation you set up. He only thinks about how to break the formation, but never thinks about how to find a way out. That is naturally a dead end."
Upon hearing this, Master Xuan Huai raised his eyebrows and said, "From what you implied, could it be that I guessed wrong?"
Lingxiang smiled and crossed her legs. "Of course, that's wrong. It's true that the Kunwu Sect has infiltrated the Demon Clan, but it's not your eldest disciple. And since the Xuantan Taoist's disciple can imitate my Yuanqing Sect's mountain defense formation, he is definitely not a demon. The real demon is someone else."
Master Xuan Huai was shocked. Looking at all the people in the mountain gate, only those two younger generations had been acting abnormally in recent days. If it wasn't them, who else could it be?
Just as he was thinking, he saw Lingxiang sitting in meditation: "Of course there are others, but I think those two must have been affected by the demon clan. Now I can defeat one of them. I hope you will not be so greedy for the fun of the chessboard, but keep your mind to protect me."
As soon as she finished speaking, Lingxiang started to make hand gestures and mutter something, and after a moment she became motionless.
Master Xuanhuai was confused and looked at Master Fuyin to ask the reason, but Master Fuyin also didn't know what he meant and just shook his head blankly.
"My junior sister is very clever and eccentric. Even if something happens to her, she won't tell us, her senior brothers. But you can rest assured, Master. Although she may seem a little tricky, she is very reliable."
Having said that, she was still a child after all. No matter how much experience she had, how much could she have? How could she be more powerful than those demons?
Master Xuan Huai had a worried look on his face, but if he knew what Lingxiang had experienced since childhood, he probably wouldn't think so.
…
Maidong was shocked when he saw the purple light flashing from the talisman in Long Qi's hand - this talisman was glowing with purple light, which meant it was a blood talisman, and Long Qi naturally didn't know how to use talismans, so this talisman was transformed from the spiritual incense.
What on earth was it that required the use of a blood talisman? Or was it just a mere substitute for a spirit talisman?
