On the other side, Leng Yan returned to Qingfeng Palace and learned about what had happened in the past few days, so he sent several people back.
At noon, a disciple came in from outside the hall and told her that a disciple wanted to see her. Leng Yan thought that the disciple wanted to see her for something, so she asked the attendant to leave and let the disciple in.
When the disciple came in, Leng Yan was reviewing the documents in her hand with her head down and a red pen in her hand. Although Han Qing and the others had helped to deal with most of Qing Yuanzong's documents in recent days, there were still many matters left for her to deal with.
When the disciple came in, she was holding a red brush to write on the document, but found that it had run out of ink. The servant had just been asked to leave by her, so it was not convenient to call him back in.
So, Leng Yan said without looking up: "Come and grind ink for me." The man seemed to have no reaction. He looked around and saw that there was no one in the hall, then he was sure that Leng Yan was talking about him.
So, he clenched his fingers slightly in his sleeves, suppressing the tension in his heart. He walked up the steps to the desk and picked up the ink stick that was placed beside him and began to grind it.
Leng Yan looked down at the document in her hand and didn't notice anything unusual until she smelled a faint bamboo fragrance on the tip of her nose. Then she realized something was wrong and looked up.
Qin Du, dressed in a navy blue robe, was standing on one side, grinding ink with an ink stick in his hand. His eyes were slightly lowered, and his eyelashes cast a small gentle shadow. He looked innocent and harmless.
As if he had noticed Leng Yan's gaze, Qin Du moved his eyes away from the inkstone in his hand and met Leng Yan's gaze.
Leng Yan put down the document in her hand, looked at Qin Du and said, "That's enough, no need to waste time. What do you want to see me about today?"
As he spoke, he waved his hand and the door of Qingfeng Palace closed, and an isolation formation was set up.
Qin Du looked at Leng Yan, pursed his lips, then lifted his clothes and knelt down. Leng Yan looked at him indifferently, trying to figure out what he was going to do.
Then she heard Qin Du whisper, "Senior Sister, I know I shouldn't say what I'm about to say given my current status, but I still want to say it."
Leng Yan lowered her eyes and looked at Qin Du, who was kneeling in front of her. Her eyes showed no emotion. Then she heard Qin Du, who was kneeling on the ground with his head slightly lowered, speak with a pleading tone: "Senior Sister, Wen Shi and the others are not good people. Stay away from them. They are a bunch of lunatics. Their love for you has reached a pathological level. If you don't escape now, you may end up being imprisoned by them."
Then he said something very soft but still pleading: "Senior Sister, I like you, can you please look at me?" Then he knelt straight on the ground, but his head was still lowered. From Leng Yan's perspective, he could see his red ears and the blush on his cheeks.
After a long time, Leng Yan spoke again: "How can I trust you?" Although it was a question, her tone was still indistinguishable from her emotions.
Qin Du looked up and met Leng Yan's pair of eyes as cold as ice. For a moment, he lowered his head in embarrassment. His senior sister must feel disgusted with him now. The junior brother whom he saved actually had dirty thoughts about him.
Finally, Qin Du closed his eyes, suppressed the sour taste in his nose and said: "Senior Sister, I am...reborn." There was finally a trace of emotion in Leng Yan's eyes. Although she had suspected this matter for a long time, she never thought that Qin Du would confess to her directly today.
After Qin Du finished speaking, he lowered his head and closed his eyes, as if he didn't want to continue facing the next scene, but his eyelashes trembled slightly.
After a long time, he felt two cold fingertips pinching his chin and gently lifting it up. He opened his eyes carefully and met Leng Yan's calm gaze.
He turned his head to the side in embarrassment, but was then turned back by Leng Yan's hand, facing her. Seeing this, he lowered his eyes.
Leng Yan looked at him, chuckled softly, and then loosened her fingers. Then she said coolly: "Where did the courage you had to provoke Wen Shi go? Why are you like this now? Did I bully you?"
Qin Du looked up with a hint of surprise in her eyes, but the next second she heard Leng Yan's calm voice: "Qin Du, have you had fun lying to me these years?" As soon as these words came out, Qin Du's face turned pale instantly.
Without waiting for his explanation, Leng Yan continued, "I don't mean to blame you, it's just that your brain really doesn't seem to be very good. I have been taking advantage of you, but you haven't made any waves in the past few years.
Being able to use me to achieve your goals is a skill of yours, but your ability is really too poor."
Leng Yan took a sip of the tea on the side and put it down before continuing, "Also, a reminder, anyone with a little skill can avoid being deceived by your tricks."
As she spoke, Leng Yan directed a spiritual power at the center of Qin Du's eyebrows, and then the illusion on Qin Du's face faded away. Leng Yan looked at the face in front of her, and the long-forgotten question in her heart finally got an answer.
Qin Du's face in front of him was no longer the same one as before. This one was even more gorgeous, with superior facial features and bone structure. His eyes were the same pair of world-weary eyes as his own, but now they were as calm as water. The most important thing was that he had a red teardrop mole at the corner of his right eye, just like his own.
At first glance, Qin Du really did look six points like himself. Leng Yan loosened her fingers, took a handkerchief beside her and wiped them, saying, "Disgusting."
Qin Du clenched his hands slightly in his sleeves. He knew Leng Yan was scolding Wen Shi. But the way Senior Sister wiped her fingers was really annoying.
As the illusion was lifted, Qin Du's mentality also underwent some subtle changes, because when he used the banned book to illusion himself, his mind was also affected.
Therefore, he no longer had the panic he had just felt in his heart. Instead, he felt a sense of paranoia. His senior sister was really smart. She had known his secret for a long time and still looked down on it. Such a good senior sister should not be overshadowed by those scumbags like Wen Shi.
He is not greedy. He does not want to pull the bright moon down. He wants the bright moon to hang high in the sky forever, but he also hopes that more of the bright moon's light can fall on himself.
At this moment, Leng Yan put down the handkerchief in her hand, walked up to Qin Du, and said in a calm tone: "But, Qin Du, what makes you think I will listen to you? This is the path I chose myself, and it is not your place to interfere. I will treat your words today as nonsense. If I hear such words again, we will no longer have the relationship of senior apprentice sister and disciple."
Hearing this, Qin Du could no longer hold back. He stood up, grabbed Leng Yan's wrist, and raised his voice, "Senior Sister, is the path you chose to have your future ruined by those scumbags? You clearly knew it, so why didn't you flee this place?"
Leng Yan struggled, trying to break free from Qin Du's hand, but Qin Du held her too tightly and she couldn't break free. She looked at Qin Du again, who looked very angry.
Finally, Leng Yan raised her hand and slapped Qin Du hard on the face. This slap deflected Qin Du's face and loosened his hand.
Leng Yan asked coldly: "Are you clear-headed?"
