Chapter 172
Although...
None of this was Ye Lan's original intention, but it had already happened. Ye Lan lay on the bed like a dead fish, with his head buried in the soft pillow, pretending to be asleep to avoid Leng Qingqiu's pursuit.
Leng Qingqiu's eyes were filled with smiles. He knew that this man was awake and was acting like this on purpose.
He didn't tease him anymore, but just took hot water and wiped him with a towel as considerately as usual.
Ye Lan didn't expect Leng Qingqiu to clean him up. The warm handkerchief made his body shiver slightly.
But he quickly suppressed the feeling and continued to bury his head in the pillow, pretending that he didn't feel it.
Leng Qingqiu found it funny to see him pretending to be dead and not wanting to take responsibility. It seemed that this man still didn't intend to take responsibility for himself. What should he do?
After finishing everything, Leng Qingqiu could only sigh.
He pulled the person out of the pillow with his hands, turned him over, and then gently tucked the quilt for Ye Lan.
With a slight wave of his right hand, the candle that was burning with a crackling sound was extinguished.
Leng Qingqiu disappeared in the room...
Ye Lan felt that the candlelight around him was extinguished, and there was no Leng Qingqiu in the room.
His tightly closed eyelashes trembled slightly and slowly opened.
When he found that everything in the house had returned to calm, his heart, which had been hanging in the air, also settled down.
Thinking about how he had just fallen into the trap of Leng Qingqiu, the traitor, Ye Lan was so ashamed and angry that he wanted to die.
I regret why I am...
I am so disappointed! I am so disappointed!
It was just a kiss, why was he still acting so foolishly...
No, I can’t think about it!
Ye Lan forced himself to stop thinking and tried to calm his messy heart.
Ye Lan didn't know when he fell asleep. When he woke up, it was already bright the next day.
Just like yesterday, he followed Song Qi's request and went to the alchemy room to continue his one-on-one teaching.
His departure left Leng Qingqiu, who had come to look for him, disappointed.
Xie Yi saw from a distance that Leng Qingqiu, with a sullen face, was standing in front of a room not far from his yard.
Xie Yi looked up and looked around, confirming that this was indeed his Dan Sect, not Leng Qingqiu's Jian Sect.
He couldn't help but walk towards Leng Qingqiu in confusion and greeted him politely.
"Brother Leng, what are you doing...?"
Hearing the voice, Leng Qingqiu glanced sideways and looked directly at Xie Yi's somewhat timid face.
"Nothing, just passing by today..."
Leng Qingqiu's lies were just like Ye Lan's, he just kept telling them without thinking.
He said this in a serious manner, which made Xie Yi stunned. He could only let out a dumbfounded "ah".
It’s not that Xie Yi is timid. Since so many things have happened, he no longer has the same high spirits as before.
Being a bit timid, he nodded and made a gesture to leave.
But before he could take a step out of the door, Leng Qingqiu called him.
"Do you know who lives here?"
Xie Yi was stunned, and he looked in the direction Leng Qingqiu pointed.
He uttered an "oh".
"Here... I heard from Master that this is a young disciple he recently accepted, but I haven't seen him much so far."
Leng Qingqiu's eyes flickered and he hummed lightly.
Xie Yi thought he was waiting for her to respond, so she quickly continued, "Master has long been in unbearable pain after Junior Sister Liuying passed away. Fortunately, he has accepted a younger disciple, and as the eldest disciple, I am relieved."
Leng Qingqiu raised his eyebrows slightly and asked in surprise, "Junior Sister Liuying passed away?"
He nodded gratefully, without saying much, just making a brief mention of it.
"Junior Sister Liuying's life plate has shattered. There's no other reason than her passing."
Leng Qingqiu patted Xie Yi's shoulder gently and said, "My condolences."
Of course he knew Liuying was dead, and he wasn't surprised at all.
As long as it doesn't arouse others' suspicion about the cause of Liuying's death, Leng Qingqiu's eyes were embarrassed, and the murderous intent in his eyes flashed by in an instant.
Xie Yi only felt a chill all over his body, and had no idea that anything was wrong, let alone that he had just brushed past death.
He looked at the direction Leng Qingqiu left, touched his head, shook it strangely, and left.
Ye Lan, the protagonist being discussed by the two, was still frantically refining the elixir at this time, and Song Qi was constantly giving Ye Lan special treatment.
Ye Lan was speechless, he felt that Song Qi was completely crazy.
He hadn't had a sip of water from morning till now, and was forced by Song Qi to make the elixir.
Ye Lan's condition was getting worse and worse, and the chance of the furnace exploding was increasing.
Yaoshen Ding silently complained for Ye Lan, and seeing this, Song Qi finally felt guilty and stopped.
"Well, that's enough for today. I won't ask you to do too much, lest you can't digest it."
Ye Lan rolled his eyes mercilessly in the dark, still unable to digest...
He couldn't digest it anymore!
He actually didn't know that Song Qi was an alchemy maniac and he himself was a ruthless receiver.
Song Qi pushed him all over the place and forced him to make pills. He almost vomited from making pills...
After today's teaching, Ye Lan ran away like the wind.
Ye Lan returned to the room and collapsed on the bed, not wanting to move at all.
He felt that he could no longer lift his arms and his whole body felt weak.
Suddenly, a figure appeared in the room. Ye Lan was so tired that he didn't even bother to lift his eyelids.
He knew who would appear in his bedroom at this hour.
Leng Qingqiu saw that he had finally caught the person this time, but he saw that the person was lying on the bed and didn't even look at him.
Leng Qingqiu found it funny. He waved his hand and a food box appeared out of thin air in his hand.
He walked to Ye Lan's side and carefully took out plates of delicious food from the food box.
Ye Lan sniffed his nose in shame; his stomach was already growling with hunger.
I don’t know where Leng Qingqiu got this food. The fragrance doesn’t seem like the food sold in Xiaoyao Sect.
It smells so good!
Ye Lan turned his head in shame, his eyes falling on the small table next to him where delicious food was placed.
Leng Qingqiu saw his reaction and placed the chopsticks considerately in Ye Lan's hand.
"You must be hungry. Eat something."
Ye Lan wanted to refuse, but the delicious food in front of him made him unable to refuse.
He reluctantly took Leng Qingqiu's chopsticks, then sat up and prepared to start.
He was about to stand up, but Leng Qingqiu held him down.
"Just sit down. I'll get you whatever you want to eat."
The tone was so doting that Ye Lan's cheeks turned slightly red. He immediately refused: "No, I can get up and eat."
Although he said this, Leng Qingqiu showed no intention of taking his hand away.
After struggling in vain, Ye Lan sat on the bed resignedly and accepted Leng Qingqiu's feeding.
