Chapter 48 Chapter 48 Don’t laugh, don’t laugh, it’s so immoral.
Gu Zhi suddenly felt as if his heart dropped an inch, a sour and guilty feeling.
Silently, he quietly withdrew his hand from Song Yaojie's shoulder.
When he looked up at her again, she refused to look at him anymore. She had her back to him and was sitting alone on the stone table, relaxing and eating her meal.
He lowered his eyes, not knowing what he was thinking.
The reason why she was asked to move out was actually because this yard might be too dangerous for her.
A few days ago, she was pushed into a well. Two days later, someone cut off a head and put it on her desk. It was obvious that they were targeting her.
Perhaps, it was because he favored her so obviously these days that some people regarded her as a thorn in their side.
But maybe this is already good enough.
What might be worse is that these things are all done at the behest of that one person.
Uncle Huide.
No matter what, he was the young master of the mountain. No matter how jealous the disciples on the mountain were of her, they shouldn't have watched him go to great lengths to save her in just a few days, yet he showed no restraint and then threatened her with a dead body.
There is almost only one reason for being so unscrupulous and reckless.
All of this was what Master Huide intended.
Gu Zhi closed his eyes almost in pain.
He couldn't keep her here any longer. His identity was too sensitive, and his uncle was watching closely. Since he had already suspected her, even without evidence, the crime had already been determined for both of them.
If he continued to act like this under his uncle's nose, he could certainly get away with it, but what would she do if he made a mistake?
Wouldn't that mean you are like a fish on the chopping board, at the mercy of others?
So, he took one last look at the slender figure standing alone in the courtyard and asked Aliang, "I've told Junior Brother Xuanbai to pick her up. When will he come?"
*
Song Yaojie heard those love letters clearly, and Nan Qiongshuang had also learned martial arts, so she naturally heard them clearly too.
The more I listen, the funnier it becomes.
A man who was locked up in the mountains every day actually had a lot of romantic debts. If he could come and go freely like an ordinary person, what would happen?
Seeing how he looked like a rookie, I really didn't expect it.
A fallen petal landed on the top of her head. She plucked the petal off in annoyance, blew it away in her palm, and it flew away.
Just as she was bored, someone suddenly knocked twice at the gate. Ah Liang was busy inside, so she got up and opened the door. When she saw the person outside, she was stunned for a moment. "Li Xuanbai?"
When the visitor saw that it was her, he immediately put on an unhappy, sarcastic expression and walked into the room with a cold snort.
Nan Qiong Shuang laughed in her heart, because he was still resentful of the fact that she had abandoned him and followed Gu Zhitong back.
Sure enough, after walking just two steps, he turned around and gave her a blank look, "Hey, you still remember me, shouldn't I be grateful to you?"
Why is it that every time this person sees her, his first words are always sarcastic? Nan Qiongshuang rubbed her eyebrows.
"What are you doing here?"
Li Xuanbai didn't treat herself as an outsider at all. He calmly sat down in the place where she had just sat, poured himself a cup of tea, and said, "I'm here to pick you up." He drank it in one gulp, grimacing because it was so hot, and sticking out his tongue like a donkey.
"Pick me up?" She looked into Gu Zhi's room in surprise. He was still surrounded by Aliang and Song Yaojie. Aliang held a handful of colorful love letters in his hand, arranged in a round fan, as if he was going to use them to play cards.
Li Xuanbai didn't even look at her, but raised his chin in Gu Zhi's direction, "He asked me to come." He rested his elbows on the table, crossed his ten fingers, and glanced at her meaningfully, "What? He asked you to come and live here, but you don't want to come?"
This guy was against him all day long, and they were living together day and night? Just thinking about it made his head hurt.
She sighed openly, "Since we're leaving, let's go. What are you sitting here for?"
Qi Zhu, who was standing beside Song Yaojie, stepped forward and bowed, saying, "Senior Sister has instructed that everyone in the courtyard must give a confession before being released. Please wait in the courtyard for a moment."
She had no choice but to sit back down, and poured herself a cup of tea out of boredom. She learned from Li Xuanbai's lesson and sipped it slowly.
Across the stone table, Li Xuanbai untied something from his waist, pinched it between his fingertips, and raised his eyebrows. "Look, what is this?"
The distant mountains are a pale blue, shimmering with a faint silky sheen.
What else could it be? It was the love knot she gave him that day.
She was too lazy to pay attention to him and looked at him through the mist of tea to see what tricks he was going to play.
Li Xuanbai sneered, took out a match from his sleeve in front of her, gestured with it, and lit it.
Then, with a half-smile on his face, he glanced at her again and lit the tassel hanging from the end of the knot.
The end of the cleverly woven love knot suddenly curled up with a spark, and the tassel was burned black and curled, and the spark meandered upwards. Soon, the person in front loosened his fingers, and the beautiful love knot was swallowed by the charred black and scattered in the wind without any hesitation.
Ashes flew past her long hair, and Nan Qiong Shuang lowered her eyes and smiled lightly for a moment.
She patted her chin with interest and tilted her head to look at him. She was not annoyed, but just found it interesting.
He said, "'Heart knot'? Since we're not of the same mind, we might as well burn it."
He hugged his shoulders, smiling maliciously and resolutely, "Since you didn't choose me then, you don't have to choose me again in the future."
"So?" She propped her chin with her hand, blinked lazily, and smiled, "Are you here today to break up with me?"
"It's not like we're breaking up," he turned around and glanced into Gu Zhi's room, giving her a wink. Nan Qiong Shuang immediately understood, meaning they still had to look after each other, "but our friendship ends here."
"Affection?" She laughed as if she had heard something funny, and said with squinting eyes, "How can there be affection between you and me? Why didn't you say it earlier?"
Li Xuanbai's face suddenly became extremely ugly, "You woman--" He kicked his legs and stood up, then quickly pulled out the folding fan from his waist, folded the fan and pointed it in front of her nose, shaking for a long time.
Nan Qiong Shuang just propped up her chin, playing with her hair with her fingers, her eyes full of lazy teasing like a cat.
Gu Zhi, still in the room, glanced up for some reason, only to see Li Xuanbai standing with his legs apart, looking domineering. He even pointed his faux-elegant folding fan at her nose in a menacing manner. Poor girl, so weak and frightened, she sat on the stone bench, not daring to move, letting him point at her nose and humiliate her.
He was so angry that he laughed. This was still his Muxueyuan, how dare you act so rudely!
So he gathered his sleeves, made a move, and whoosh—a glass bead like a cannonball shot out from the window.
Song Yaojie had just cried and was now holding back her tears, but she saw that he had some pity for her. He was about to take a handkerchief to wipe her tears, but suddenly he turned his head and glared out the window. The next moment he was playing marbles. She was stunned for a moment.
In the courtyard, Li Xuanbai cursed, "Fuck!" and yelled at Gu Zhi's window, "This fan of mine is made of ivory inlaid with white jade!"
Inside the carved window, Gu Zhi seemed not to hear anything. He lowered his head as usual and picked up the brush next to the inkstone.
After Li Xuanbai shouted, he suddenly saw Song Yaojie's red eyes through the ice crack carved window, and he was stunned.
After a while, he blinked dryly, pulled her up from the stone bench and pulled her to where he was standing.
The index finger pointing at Song Yaojie was almost trembling:
"Is she...she crying?"
Nan Qiong Shuang was like a little chicken that was suddenly picked up, and moved involuntarily in the air for unknown reasons. Looking inside from this angle, she actually saw... Song Yaojie was crying and wiping her tears with her sleeves.
Gu Zhi stood aside, nervously handing her a handkerchief. He seemed to want to help but hesitate, wanting to speak but not to.
Nan Qiongshuang sneered and rolled her eyes, then turned her head away, only to see that Li Xuanbai was almost surprised and happy. He looked at her in disbelief for a moment, then spread out his hands in confusion.
Excitedly, "That woman actually cried? Oh my god? That's hilarious!"
She burst out laughing, "Immoral."
Li Xuanbai smiled without saying anything. His eyes lingered on Song Yaojie's aggrieved and heartbroken face for a moment, then moved to Gu Zhi's bewildered expression, then turned back and looked at her again as if to confirm.
That means it’s because of Gu Huaijin?
She understood and nodded with a meaningful smile.
yes.
She really didn't expect that a woman who loved to show off her seniority to bully others would cry so pitifully in front of her lover because of this little love.
Love, which smart woman would cling to love?
She really couldn't hold it in any longer and actually covered her face with her hands and laughed.
Li Xuanbai originally wanted to laugh, and seeing her like this, he couldn't help it. He covered his mouth, and his cheeks puffed out and deflated again, making a continuous "Puff, Pu" sound, like an asthmatic toad.
In the end, he was too lazy to even act and just started rocking back and forth on the stone bench.
Wiping away tears, he said, "Oh my God, mother, you actually... because... a young... girl... is... lustful..."
After saying these four words, he couldn't say any more. He almost fell down laughing, and was struggling like a carp.
Nan Qiongshuang had just calmed down a bit when she heard this and immediately let out another chuckle. However, she also knew that such a loud commotion would probably attract the attention of the two people in the room, so she had to do her best to lower her head and, with a hint of anger and resentment, lightly punched him.
He squeezed out a few words from his teeth, "Stop talking..." If you continue, you will be fine, but I will be the one who dies.
When Gu Zhi and Song Yaojie heard the laughter from this side, they both froze for a moment.
The next moment, a slender dragon sword swished out from the carved window. Li Xuanbai swung his fan to block it. Song Yaojie strode out with bloodshot eyes and shouted, "What are you two laughing at?!"
The two people were not at all panicked, and they still clenched their fists and pursed their lips. Li Xuanbai was even worse. He suddenly stood up to block her blow, but then he fell down laughing weakly, threw his fan to the ground, and almost knelt on the ground.
Song Yaojie felt an extremely bad feeling in her heart - her fragile and sentimental behavior just now might have been seen by a third person.
Maybe - his eyes slowly fell on Nan Qiong Shuang - maybe, there is a fourth person.
In an instant, the whole person was like a wire that was slowly being roasted red from the end to the hairline.
He bit his silver teeth and stabbed Li Xuanbai directly: "You bastard, I will kill you!"
"Senior Sister!" Gu Zhi shouted hurriedly, and the snow-white long sword suddenly came out of its sheath. With a twirl and a twist, it blocked in front of Li Xuanbai, "Senior Sister, why are you so angry! It's just a junior brother..."
He couldn't continue the second half of the sentence. He turned around and looked at the two people who were laughing together, his expression gloomy.
She was not a lively person, so how could she laugh so happily?
He hadn't seen her smile like this in such a long time.
Are you happier being with Li Xuanbai?
He suddenly remembered that in the dream, she said she wanted to go down the mountain with Li Xuanbai.
Seeing his expression suddenly become dejected and his words only half-sentenced, Song Yaojie was too lazy to argue with him and shouted angrily, "Get out of the way! I must teach these two ignorant juniors a lesson today!"
Li Xuanbai raised his index finger and shook it in the midst of his busy schedule. "She's not your junior." He then took a deep breath and said, "Besides, we were just joking."
Gu Zhi tightened his grip on the hilt of the sword. What a joke, why are you laughing like that?
He looked at her again and said, how come you still don't hold a grudge as usual? He just pointed at her nose and humiliated her, but you forgot about it now.
"Sister, Junior Brother has always had this...temper." She glanced at him, and although she was trying to reconcile, her gaze on him was cold and icy. "It's a turbulent time on the mountain right now. It's absolutely not worth delaying our important work over these matters."
These words barely persuaded Song Yaojie to leave, but her eyes were still as wide as a cow's, and her chest was still heaving, obviously she was very angry.
Nan Qiong Shuang laughed in her heart. Song Yaojie was such a sharp-tongued person that everyone would avoid her. But she happened to meet such a shameless person like Li Xuanbai. It really was true that there was always someone better than her.
Song Yaojie glanced at her coldly, "You, come over here and check the confession first, then quickly leave with this brat."
Li Xuanbai immediately drew his sword again.
Gu Zhi looked at the middle with a headache, "Senior Sister."
Nan Qiongshuang sighed and casually pushed back the long sword that Li Xuanbai had just drawn.
Gu Zhi glanced at him silently with the corner of his eye.
Li Xuanbai said impatiently behind him, "Hurry up and leave after asking. I don't want to stay here."
