Chapter 108: It was Niu Hulu Qianqian who hid it from her. She was meticulous and scheming...
The Grandmaster asked, "Why, haven't you figured it out?"
Song Keling shook her head. She understood what the Grandmaster said and knew the logic behind it. She said, "I'm worried that Big Brother will hurt Qianqian."
The master heard the hidden meaning in her words and was a little surprised, but then he understood.
He raised his hand and slowly poured himself a cup of tea. "You mean to ask if Song Huaijin took any magical weapons from me that could harm demons and target that little snake demon?"
Song Keling agreed.
The Grand Master picked up the teacup and said, "It's not easy for the little demon to cultivate, and you're the first person he encounters. If he doesn't have any intention of harming others, I certainly won't eliminate him for him."
Song Keling said, "Grandmaster, you are a good judge of right and wrong, but if my eldest brother becomes stubborn and asks other Taoists or monks for help..."
The Grand Master finished his tea and put down the cup with a smile, "So you came to ask me for the protection of the treasure."
Song Keling stood up and bowed respectfully to the Grandmaster, "Please help me, Grandmaster!"
The Grand Master did not continue the topic, but instead asked, "How has your mother been doing these years?"
Song Keling was a little confused.
The Grand Master stroked his long white beard and said, "Your mother resolutely severed her ties with Taoism in order to be with your father. Later, she forced herself to have you, nearly resulting in both her death and her father's death."
Song Keling frowned slightly, not understanding why the master suddenly changed the topic to this.
Her mother did confess to her that she went back to Qingyun Mountain to get pregnant with her, but she never told her that being pregnant with her was so thrilling.
"She must have kept it a secret from you, right?" The Grandmaster said, then shook his head. "If it weren't for that little snake demon, you would have been kept in the dark your entire life. Your mother hated me so much back then that she swore never to return. But for your health, she had to come up the mountain again and again, compromising with us."
Song Keling asked, "Grandmaster, what exactly do you want to say?"
The Grand Master sighed softly and looked at her. "Child, I've watched you grow up. I originally thought you were different from your mother, but now it seems you're exactly the same. A heart is like a pond, and love is like a stone. When a stone is turned over, the water becomes muddy, and when a stone emerges, the water becomes clear. If you want to settle the cause and effect for the little snake demon, it's better to wait for the stone to sink to the bottom of the pond and the waves will calm down."
Song Keling understood, bowed, and turned to leave.
Seeing that she was about to leave, the Grand Master could no longer sit still and quickly stood up with two "eh eh" sounds, "Why are you in such a hurry?"
Song Keling turned around with a somewhat cold look.
The Grandmaster returned to his sage-like demeanor and stroked his beard. "I can help you, but you need to promise Grandpa one thing."
Song Keling turned to him and said, "Please speak first."
Shi Ling waited outside until the flowers had all wilted, not daring to eavesdrop. She simply took out her math homework book and wrote the exercises on the horizontal bar in the corridor.
After a long time, the door of the quiet room opened. She turned her head and saw her cousin. She immediately stood up and asked, "Cousin, have you finished talking with the Grandmaster?"
Song Keling responded and said, "Let's go."
Shi Ling quickly packed up her textbooks and ran to catch up, curious, "Did the Grandmaster agree to help you?"
Song Keling didn't answer. She was silent all the way and concentrated on driving down the mountain.
Seeing that the car navigation system was heading towards her school, Shi Ling hurriedly said, "Cousin, why are you going back to school today?"
Song Keling said, "Weren't you doing homework before?"
"I was just bored, so I'm telling you a secret: I've actually already completed several courses by self-study."
Song Keling then pulled the car over and looked at her. "Are you also a top student?"
"I can't compare to you, cousin." Shi Ling's expression was flattering, but suddenly he became awed and serious. "I have always regarded you as my learning goal!"
Song Keling withdrew her gaze, leaned back in her chair and sighed softly.
Shi Ling was very perceptive. She knew that she was troubled by something and that she was not in a good state after coming out of the Grand Master's meditation room. She immediately expressed her loyalty, "Cousin, everyone has their own expertise. Although I can't help Sister Qianqian with her problem right now, my house is full of books on Taoist magic. When I go back and study them carefully, I will definitely be able to help you!"
Song Keling shook her head and said no.
Shi Ling: "Then why are you unhappy?"
Song Keling frowned and hissed softly.
Shi Ling, who was staring at her, also took a deep breath nervously.
Song Keling turned to look at her after a long while, "Can monsters reproduce with the same sex?"
Shi Ling blinked blankly, "Huh?"
Song Keling raised her hand and touched her chin. She had indeed seen in some papers that some female snakes laid eggs and reproduced without contact with male snakes, but these were only rare cases. Most of the time, the eggs would be fertilized.
What about the monster?
Qianqian had told her about the baby snake several times.
At that time, she could still think that Qianqian was "talking nonsense" and ignorant, but now even the master said so.
Shi Ling scratched his head. "I don't know about that either. Wait for me to go back and look it up in a book..."
"No need." Since it was said by the Grandmaster, it couldn't be wrong. Song Keling said, "If you don't want to go back to school, then where can you go? I'll take you home."
Shi Ling said, "Cousin, please take me to the Shuangyang Taekwondo Gym."
Song Keling entered the navigation and asked, "Are you learning Taekwondo?"
Shi Ling: "No, there's an internet cafe over there that doesn't require an ID card."
Song Keling stopped typing and looked at her. "You still consider me your goal?"
"I'm learning programming." Shi Ling pulled out a thick book on programming software from her schoolbag, showed it to her, and then said, "My mom doesn't let me use the computer at home for too long, so I've been secretly learning it on my own."
Song Keling raised her eyebrows, said nothing more, and drove away.
The sun sets.
Qianqian took out her phone to check WeChat for the hundredth time, but she still didn't receive any reply to the message she sent to Song Keling. It seemed that Song Keling was very busy today!
She ran to Song Keling's laboratory and waited downstairs. When she saw Song Keling's senior sister coming downstairs, she hurried over to ask.
Qiao Ying was a little surprised, "You came to see Junior Sister?"
Qianqian nodded.
Seeing the cute and obedient little girl, Qiao Ying couldn't utter the words "Junior Sister didn't come to the lab today" and could only say with a smile, "Wait a minute, she might still be busy. I'll go up and help you."
Qianqian said sweetly, "Okay, thank you, Senior Sister! Please help me, Senior Sister!"
As soon as Qiao Ying turned around and went upstairs, she took out her cell phone and called Song Keling, but the call didn't go through because she was already on the phone.
Did he hang up the phone on her?
Wow, how long have we been in this relationship and you’re already having a little secret behind your partner’s back?
It is true that you can judge a person by his appearance but not by his heart.
I didn’t expect that my junior sister would be such a person!
Qiao Ying called again, but the call was still busy. She thought to herself, "There's nothing I can do to help you with this. Junior sister, you can't blame your senior sister for being ruthless." She hesitated and went downstairs.
Thinking of Qianqian's expectant eyes, Qiao Ying felt a little reluctant and wanted to hit her again.
When I went downstairs, I saw Qianqian was on the phone.
"I'm downstairs in your laboratory!" Qianqian said with a frown.
Qiao Ying silently put away her phone and said, "Okay, I'm the clown. It turns out that you two were talking on the phone."
Qianqian: "Then I'll come find you?"
Song Keling said, "No need, wait here, I'll be right there."
After Qianqian hung up the phone, she saw her senior sister at the stairs behind her. At this time, she didn't think there was anything wrong with what she had just said. She just smiled and said, "It turns out that Song Keling went to the teaching building to pick me up. We just missed her."
"I told you, I didn't find anyone upstairs." Qiao Ying smiled even brighter than Qianqian. She waited with her for a while and asked her if she had anything she wasn't used to at school.
Qianqian shook her head, her little face full of seriousness, and said that her classmates and teachers were all very nice to her, the courses were very interesting, and she really liked the feeling of acquiring knowledge.
Qiao Ying thought that he was worthy of being the partner chosen by her junior sister, as he also loved studying.
However, after Qiao Ying left, Song Keling, who had heard the conversation, smiled and repeated what she had just said to Qianqian, asking, "Really?"
Qianqian happily ran over, hugged her waist, stood on tiptoe and said confidently: "Of course it's fake!"
Song Keling laughed, "Then why did you say that to my senior sister?"
"I'm just trying to save your face," Qianqian said, "How can Song Keling's girlfriend be a bad student who doesn't like studying?"
Song Keling's eyes were filled with laughter. She gently scratched her nose with her finger and said, "You don't have to save face for me. You're my girlfriend, and you've already saved face for me."
Qianqian hummed complacently, but immediately looked at her again: "Song Keling, you didn't reply to my message all day today!"
"Sorry. I'm a bit busy." Song Keling said vaguely, but quickly changed the subject and said, "I've been looking at some houses in nice locations. You said you want lots of baby rooms, right?"
The topic change was very abrupt. Qianqian had been in human form for some time after all, and had been living among humans. She had also been immersed in the Internet for a long time and had seen a lot of gossip.
Had Song Keling ever given such an irrelevant answer before?
Let’s consider what my senior sister said.
Qianqian immediately realized something and looked at Song Keling. She first changed the subject and then deliberately tried to please people. Isn't this the legendary expression of guilt after doing something bad?
Qianqian's little head was spinning rapidly at this time. What bad thing did Song Keling do?
Did he go on a date with senior Su Yili today, or did he meet that dark-eyed Brother Song?
No matter which one, Qianqian felt a strong sense of crisis.
"Why aren't you talking?" Song Keling took her hand and walked to where the bicycles were parked.
Qianqian came back to her senses and immediately snorted loudly, "Song Keling, what are you hiding from me?"
Song Keling stopped and looked at her.
Qianqian's face was stern, her eyes were sharp as a torch, and she said to Song Keling, "You can't hide it from me! You lied. Tell me, what did you do today?"
Song Keling seemed to sigh, "I really can't hide it from you."
Qianqian thought to herself, as expected, and angrily pinched Song Keling's hand, then separated it, put her hands on her hips, and frowned as if facing a great enemy.
Song Keling took out a black wooden bracelet from her bag, took her hand, and carefully put it on her wrist. "I asked someone for this to protect you."
Qianqian's brows relaxed for a moment, filled with curiosity and surprise. She raised her hand to look at the bracelet, which contained some strange and special symbols, but she quickly rejected them, "This is so ugly, it's not even shiny."
Song Keling laughed, "I'll take you to buy some sparkly things tonight. But don't take this off, okay?"
Qianqian looked at her.
Song Keling looked back.
Qianqian leaned over to Song Keling and sniffed her, then narrowed her eyes slightly and looked at Song Keling again.
Song Keling looked at him calmly, "What's wrong?"
Qianqian narrowed her eyes, smiled, and said it was okay, but she was thinking about asking Shi Ling about it that night. She could smell the scent of incense from the Taoist temple on the mountain on Song Keling! She was no longer the same person she used to be. She was Niu Hulu Qianqian. Meticulous and scheming!
