It uses a declarative sentence.
Qinghe didn't deny it and nodded.
Li Jiang frowned, and even his eyes turned cold. Those who knew him well knew that this was a sign that he was about to get angry.
The atmosphere around him instantly became tense because of his change in mood.
"Do you know that the sacred pill was a life-saving pill given to you by your master, which you can only take out in a critical moment?"
Qinghe stopped joking and said seriously, "I know, but the pills have already been sold, and the buyer was very generous, giving me five thousand taels right away."
Seeing that Li Jiang's brows furrowed even more, Qing He continued, "Actually, the pill didn't fall into other people's hands. Instead, I took it, so I didn't lose out."
Seeing the puzzled looks on everyone's faces, she added, "I was injured inside the Mirror of Reincarnation."
Upon hearing this, Li Jiang's expression softened slightly.
Qinghe: "You're not angry anymore?"
Li Jiang stared at her for a long time, and then shook her head helplessly.
As they continued walking, the atmosphere became more relaxed and joyful. Li Jiang walked in front, her eyes fixed on the road, while Mu Dong whispered to Qing He behind her.
"My senior brother is indeed terrifying when he gets angry."
Qinghe nodded in agreement, "So never provoke someone who seems gentle and harmless on the surface, who knows what they're like when they get angry."
Mu Dong felt this deeply: "I still remember when Senior Brother first entered Qingyun Sect, some people often bullied him because of his good temper. Senior Brother didn't care, so the person became even more aggressive, thinking that Senior Brother was weak and incompetent. Who knew that later, because he tore up a cultivation manual, Senior Brother sealed his spiritual meridians and five senses on the spot and kicked him off Chu Hua Mountain."
At this point, Mu Dong laughed out loud, "I still remember that the leader couldn't speak or see, and it took him three days and three nights to climb up. He was covered in dust and looked extremely disheveled. From then on, no one dared to provoke Senior Brother again."
Qinghe knew nothing about the past, but after hearing what Mu Dong said, images came to mind, and the corners of her mouth curled up, "So he was a wolf in sheep's clothing."
Mu Dong was laughing heartily when he casually asked, "What does 'white-cut black' mean?"
Qinghe coughed and said, "White cut black is a kind of food. Do you know glutinous rice balls? The outer skin is white and the inside is black. They are soft, glutinous, sweet and delicious."
Talking nonsense in a serious manner.
After listening to her description, Mu Dong suddenly realized and said, "You mean Fu Yuanzi, right? I remember its other name is Tangyuan."
When it comes to food, Mu Dong can talk endlessly, "Fu Yuanzi doesn't just have one kind of filling, there are also hawthorn and red bean fillings, they're all delicious, but my favorites are rice cake and bamboo rice dumplings. You have to eat Qingtai rice cake, the rice in Qingtai is soaked in rice wine, so the steamed rice cake has a sweet wine flavor. And the bamboo rice dumplings are even more interesting..."
Listening to his lengthy explanation of snacks and desserts, even listing the regional specialties one by one, Qinghe felt as if she had opened the door to a new world. Only now did she realize that her little bit of foodie desire was nothing in front of Mu Dong.
As the saying goes, there are always people better than you, and there is always something beyond your understanding. Qinghe was completely impressed by Mu Dong, and he was practically ready to applaud and bow to him.
Just as I was about to interrupt Mu Dong's recommendation, a commotion suddenly broke out in front of me.
Qinghe looked closely and saw that it seemed to be a couple arguing, with the cries of a child mixed in. The argument was getting more and more intense, and they even started smashing things.
Something was thrown outside the door, heading straight for Li Jiang, who was at the front. Li Jiang raised her hand and caught the flying object, which was a porcelain bowl.
A moment later, a woman came out and apologized to Li Jiang. Qing He looked at the woman and saw that she was the same one he had met at the Crane Shrine. Her cheeks were red and swollen and she was still in tears. Her body was not as clean as before and was covered with dirt and filth, as if she had been pushed over.
The woman took back the porcelain bowl, repeatedly apologizing to Li Jiang, who shook her head to indicate that she was alright.
The man inside was cursing and swearing incessantly, smashing things every now and then to vent his frustration, while a child sat nearby, wailing loudly.
Qinghe stepped forward and gently wiped away her tears. "Are you alright?"
The woman shook her head, forcing a smile, and said, "Thank you." Her voice was still trembling.
His gaze lingered on her face, his eyes growing cold: "He hit you?"
The woman raised her hand to cover her face, her hand trembling slightly from the pain. "It's my fault. I... I came back in a hurry and forgot to get him the wine."
Qinghe said coldly, "But he shouldn't have hit you. That's not something a husband should do."
The man behind her staggered out, his words slurred, perhaps from drinking: "You stinking woman, all you do is cry all day, get back here and cook for me!"
The woman wiped away her tears and was about to leave when Qinghe grabbed her arm.
The drunk man's eyes lit up when he saw Qinghe. He leered at her from head to toe, and a vulgar, obscene swear word was about to spill from his lips: "Where did this little beauty come from? You've got a nice figure, huh? Want to keep me company, brother?"
Mu Dong felt an urge to punch him for his greasy and disgusting words, but before he could, Mo Junqian had already taken action.
A flash of red light appeared from the sword in his hand, and a long bloodstain appeared on the drunken man's face, stretching from the center of his forehead to his lower abdomen. His clothes were cut in half, and the blood seeped out, quickly staining a patch of ground beneath his feet, a horrifying sight.
The drunk man didn't even realize what was happening before he felt the pain and fainted with a cry of "Ah!"
Upon seeing this, the woman threw herself to the ground, spreading her arms to protect the bloodied figure, and screamed, "Please, don't kill him! It's all our fault! I'm sorry, I'm sorry, please don't kill him!"
Qinghe sighed softly, "His character is so wicked, why bother?"
The woman glanced back at the child and said sadly, "Even if he's no good, he's still the child's father."
The most unbreakable and illogical bond in this world is still blood ties.
Qinghe wanted to say something more, but Lijiang stopped her.
It's hard to settle family disputes, and no matter how resentful you are, it's best to know when to stop.
Even after walking quite a distance, Qinghe was still a little worried. "If we just leave like this, that man will definitely take his anger out on that woman, and the violence will only escalate."
Li Jiang: "Then what can you do? You can't just kill him."
Qinghe turned to look at him.
As if realizing something, Li Jiang warned, "You can't kill him. He's not a truly wicked person. If you kill him, you'll only add to the bloodshed."
Qinghe waved his hand casually and said, "Don't worry, I didn't intend to do that."
Li Jiang: "...Do you even believe that yourself?"
Qinghe laughed, but his smile was cold. "Death is the most luxurious thing in the world. How could I let him have his way?"
Li Jiang warned her again: "Don't do anything reckless."
This time, Qinghe didn't answer him.
