Chapter 172: Apprentice vs. Immortal (49)
In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, he hid behind a tree and tried not to expose his body.
The disciples walked out one after another, and he lay quietly in the same place. Everyone walked by, talking and laughing, but he never saw the person he wanted to see. He couldn't help but frown. Could it be that he was not here?
Just when he was hesitating, the girl finally appeared.
His eyes suddenly lit up, and the girl's delicate and slender figure jumped into his eyes. Her soft and sweet face seemed to be glowing at this moment.
A strong joy surged in Qi Yan's heart. He did not forget to look at the road behind the girl and quietly took note of it.
His eyes kept falling on the girl uncontrollably. Qin Yun'er noticed it quickly and keenly, turned to his position, and met his eyes accurately.
Qi Yan's heart tightened, and he then clung to the tree trunk, looking lonely. His originally stern face now looked a little pitiful.
Qin Yun'er was stunned when she saw this, and then her heart seemed to be tightened, and she walked quickly to his side as if possessed by a ghost.
For a moment, the two looked at each other and the air fell into silence.
With Qin Yun'er around, Qi Yan was inevitably seen by others, and whispers began to appear again.
Qi Yan seemed a little uncomfortable and took the initiative to ask, "Senior Sister, can I sit with you? I just came here alone, and it seems that no fellow disciples are willing to approach me. Seeing you makes me feel strangely close."
Qin Yun'er felt very uncomfortable when she heard this, and her beautiful eyes were full of worry and heartache.
Qi Yan's dark and deep pupils flashed with something strange, and then quickly returned to calm. He seemed to feel that it was abrupt, and said:
"It's okay if Senior Sister doesn't want to, I'll immediately..."
"I do!"
Qin Yun'er interrupted him and took the initiative to move closer to him, trying to calm his anxiety.
She noticed that the boy seemed a little timid and withdrawn, his slender hands unconsciously grasping the tree trunk, his obsidian eyes full of cowardice and fear.
Unexpectedly, such a talented boy seems to have some problems in his daily life.
She couldn't help but reach out and take the hand that was pinching the tree trunk, warming his slightly cold hand with her warm hand, "Don't be afraid, Senior Sister will take you to other places."
Qi Yan's pupils contracted slightly, and his hands unconsciously clenched tighter, his fingertips turning white.
Just quietly feeling the warmth of the girl's palm, his heart was beating wildly in his chest.
Qin Yuner felt even more distressed when she saw this, thinking that the boy was frightened by her, and hurriedly whispered to comfort him.
"Junior brother, relax, I won't hurt you."
Qi Yan nodded slightly, with a slight smile on his lips. Of course he knew that she was such a beautiful and kind girl. She was worthy of being the one he fell in love with at first sight.
Qin Yun'er took him to an uninhabited garden, and the two sat on a stone bench in a small pavilion with a pot of hot tea on the table.
Qin Yun'er poured him a cup and said, "Junior brother, your hands are so cold. Drink some hot tea first."
Qi Yan was flattered and whispered, "Thank you, Senior Sister."
Then he brought the teacup to his lips and took a sip. The tea seemed to have become sweeter. His pupils under his long eyelashes were mysterious, and a satisfied smile floated in his eyes.
The next second, he felt a weight on his shoulders, blocking the cold wind, and then a scent of flowers came to him. He raised his eyes and met the girl's black and white eyes, just staring at her blankly.
"Junior brother, consider this as a greeting gift for you."
Qin Yun'er put the fox fur on him and winked at him mischievously.
The weather is getting colder now. Even if there is sunshine at noon, the wind is still cold.
Qi Yan was stunned. There was actually such a considerate woman in the world.
"Senior Sister, you are really good."
He exclaimed in admiration from the bottom of his heart.
Qin Yun'er seemed to be greatly surprised, her beautiful eyes sparkling, and the corners of her mouth curved up, "Really? Junior brother is really good at talking."
Qi Yan couldn't help but laugh and nodded heavily.
The two sat in the pavilion and talked for a long time, and Qin Yun'er also had a general understanding of his situation.
He was originally an unfavored prince. His mother was just a maid before. She accidentally became pregnant with a prince. Although she was named a concubine, her life was very miserable. Her situation did not improve after giving birth to him.
So his mother died of worry and illness when he was five years old.
From then on, he was placed in the Queen's palace. For the sake of the Emperor, the Queen treated him well. However, he was old now, and the Queen was worried that he would affect her own son's fight for the position of Crown Prince, so she wanted to get rid of him secretly.
He discovered it early, and it happened that the Wumian Sect was recruiting new disciples, so he quickly took the initiative to rush over to participate.
Qin Yun'er looked at him with heartache. The boy's past was so sad, but he could actually say it without any expression.
Qin Yun'er couldn't help but have red eyes and twitched her red lips. "If you have any problems in the future, you can come to me. I will never find you annoying."
Qi Yan's face, pretending to be lonely, flashed with surprise, and he excitedly shook her hand, "Really, Senior Sister?"
Qin Yun'er took his hand and quickly made a pinky promise with him, "It's stamped. I won't lie to you!"
The smile on Qi Yan's lips gradually widened, and he smiled with satisfaction.
His dark eyes were filled with joy. Seeing the heartache in the girl's eyes, he couldn't help but sigh at the girl's innocence.
But what he said was indeed true, just a little different.
The two chatted for a while until the afternoon training was about to begin, and then they said goodbye to each other reluctantly.
Both of them clearly felt that their feelings were heating up rapidly.
From then on, the two of them were almost always stuck together. They would get together whenever they had time, but it was mostly at Qi Yan's request.
In addition to asking her about her cultivation, he also asked her about laundry, eating, and chatting, and it seemed that he had endless questions.
Qin Yun'er deliberately indulged him, even though he occupied most of her time.
However, this caused dissatisfaction among another person.
Yu Ying looked at the empty streets with frustration. He had finally gotten used to the days of leading his fellow junior brothers and sisters in cultivation, and teaching his younger junior sister how to cultivate. He really couldn't get used to the fact that his younger junior sister was not around.
Wait a minute! Is he a masochist?
Depend on!
He turned around and wanted to leave, but he couldn't take a step forward, so he picked up the black crystal at his waist and injected spiritual power into it.
Qin Yun'er was chatting and laughing with Qi Yan when suddenly the black crystal on her waist moved. She immediately picked it up and the image of Yu Ying's face appeared before her.
"Junior Sister, where have you been? Don't you need Brother Yu to help you practice?"
Yu Ying didn't expect the connection to be made so quickly, and asked hurriedly in confusion.
Qin Yuner was stunned when she saw it was him, then explained, "Senior Brother Yu, I'm sorry, I've been busy lately. I need to help the newcomer Qi..."
"Senior Sister Yun'er, it's fine if you want to practice with me."
