Chapter 44 Chapter 44 Unconscious Hating Behavior (bush...
"Do you mind this?" Qin Sheng was quite surprised.
In the original novel, Xu Zhaoyi and Jin Nianyue were like two insulators placed together, with no chemistry at all. But when Xu Zhaoyi asked this question out of the blue, it seemed too much like he was jealous.
“…No, I didn’t!” Xu Zhaoyi was delighted when he heard him ask this and wanted to agree directly, but in a flash he realized from Qin Sheng’s expression without any shyness that this person had mistaken the person he cared about, so he hurriedly denied it.
Qin Sheng snorted indifferently. Judging from the tone just now, it didn't sound like he had nothing in mind. Now if he took a mood candy and blew it on him, he would probably develop a new taste.
But if Xu Zhaoyi says no, then so be it.
He simply explained, "She and I don't contact each other unless it's normal. This time, it's because I told her I'd secretly taken you abroad without telling my family. She was afraid we'd get caught, so she reminded me."
Xu Zhaoyi should have felt relieved after hearing this, but because of Qin Sheng's misunderstanding, he was only half relieved.
He was a little depressed: "I said I don't mind!"
Qin Sheng was amused by his expression and changed the words "I know" that were on the tip of his tongue to: "Just now, from two meters away, I heard the sound of your sigh of relief."
Xu Zhaoyi: "…" Can this person's keen ability be used in the right place? He is really more wronged than Dou E!
For a moment, he wanted to pour out all his recent emotional confusion into Qin Sheng's mind, but he quickly suppressed the impulse.
At least not in this situation. He couldn't give a definite answer about either the relationship or the future. He just had a mouth, but his confession sounded like a complaint.
He felt relieved to say it out loud, but it only made him seem even less reliable - his heartbeat was still vague and unclear, yet his selfish thoughts were already expressed with a clear conscience. How could Qin Sheng answer him?
"It's not what you think anyway."
Xu Zhaoyi sighed seriously, he was really shooting himself in the foot.
I don't know what's the point of his mind wandering to the relationship between Qin Sheng and Nian Yue in his previous life. Qin Sheng, who chose him from the very beginning, can't give him an answer.
The next day, Xu Zhaoyi went out to "work overtime", and Qin Sheng informed Feng Lili, Raphael and others that they would return to China first. The three of them had no objection.
However, Qin Sheng explained that after returning to China, he could only keep in touch with them as Tang Ling for the time being. Raphael was a little surprised that the Qin family had to keep it a secret.
This was completely different from what he had thought before, that Qin Sheng was sent by the Qin family to hunt down Feng Lili and recruit Nan Chuan.
From what he said, the Qin family had no idea that their eldest young master was a ruthless person who had secretly crossed the ocean with only a talented boyfriend, and dared to turn the Nanyang cultivation circle upside down. In the end, all the remaining forces in the South were taken away by him.
But he soon figured it out. Those big families were not as simple as he thought. Fierce internal competition was the norm. Although Qin Sheng could not practice, he was undoubtedly very capable, and Raphael would not underestimate him for this.
You must know that the two sisters Feng Lili, who founded the Southern Buddhism, and Feng Lili, who successfully incorporated the Southern Buddhism, were also very weak. In the Dharma Ending Age, as long as one is not completely helpless, a smart brain has a chance to win.
Coincidentally, Qin Sheng also has a boyfriend named Xu Zhaoyi, whose strength is improving at a speed comparable to a rocket launch.
He might as well not think about anything and just work diligently with the other party. Qin Sheng never lacked benefits from him anyway. When Qin Sheng gets to the top in the future, it is foreseeable that his success will benefit everyone around him. Even the friendship of helping someone in need is much more valuable than adding icing on the cake.
The three of them went back and prepared not to mention it again.
After Xu Zhaoyi dealt with the last one on the list, Qin Sheng also received a notification of mission completion. This time the reward was still a purple talisman.
He guessed that the Qin family's forbidden area might not have ready-made purple talismans to pick up as they had previously guessed, or that they needed to destroy the purple talisman in the eye of the array to damage the forbidden array, so the system algorithm would give them the purple talisman through the task in advance to prevent them from being cautious at the critical moment.
It was just getting dark when Xu Zhaoyi came back. In order to save time, he had to act in broad daylight. After all, the personnel were scattered this time and most of them hid like frightened birds. Fortunately, Noodles had locked on the place in advance with surveillance cameras in various places, so he was able to leave work earlier than expected.
He had been prepared to work until midnight and catch up on some sleep on the plane the next day.
But after the last name on the list was checked off, he had a vague feeling that he might be about to make another breakthrough.
This time it didn't seem like a natural result of cultivation, but rather like some kind of power suddenly descended upon him, like water being poured into a bottle filled with pebbles. It looked like it was still the same size, neither more nor less, but in fact the weight was completely different.
He remembered what Noodles said, that Qin Sheng had set up a charity foundation for him to accumulate merit. Then he looked at the list in his hand full of the names of extremely evil people, and he understood.
But there was definitely no time for him to go into seclusion now, so he decided to suppress it for the time being.
Qin Sheng had almost packed up his things, and divided the remaining spiritual water in the refrigerator into three parts for Feng Lili and the others to take away.
After Xu Zhaoyi came back, he naturally went up to him and helped him move the luggage downstairs. Suddenly, he thought of asking, "What about the room upstairs that I burned down?"
"This is Raphael's territory, he will take care of it." Qin Sheng assured him that it was just that the black walls and debris on the ground looked like a fire scene, and in fact... it was also a fire scene.
However, what was burned were some furniture and furnishings that were close to Xu Zhaoyi at the time. The important structures of the house were intact and only needed to be renovated. Otherwise, he would have moved away with Xu Zhaoyi long ago.
Speaking of which, the room in the manor where Xu Zhaoyi first lived was still sealed and had not been renovated in time. The main reason was that there was a lot of spiritual energy remaining in the room at that time, and experienced people could tell from the situation in the room that the fire at that time was different from ordinary fire.
——No ordinary fire can burn such large pieces of furniture as beds and wardrobes into ashes in such a short time before the fire has time to spread.
Xu Zhaoyi also thought of this and said optimistically, "Next time I go into seclusion to practice the Star Fire Technique, I can use that room again."
"That's fine. When I get back, I'll find some fire-resistant materials and make you a box to store your clothes in."
“…” You have to bring up the matter of clothes, right?
Xu Zhaoyi was so choked by his words that he forgot to tell Qin Sheng that he seemed to be about to make a breakthrough. He only remembered it when he took a shower and lay down on the bed at night.
But it would be the same if he returned to China first. With the help of the guards, Qin Sheng could handle Zhou Jianwei's problem by himself. He would just go into seclusion as soon as he returned.
His plan was very reasonable. The only unreasonable thing was the speed at which his cultivation level increased. After one night, the merits calculated by the Heavenly Dao gradually pushed him to the edge of the seventh level of Qi Refining, and he was just one step away from reaching the final level.
When the two of them were waiting at the airport, Xu Zhaoyi had a vague sense of foreboding, which became even worse after he boarded the plane. He didn't even dare to drink a sip of the spiritual water that he used to drink as daily drinking water, and specifically asked the flight attendant for a glass of warm water.
He was so abnormal, how could Qin Sheng not notice it? "What's wrong with you?"
Noodles also poked half of its fly head out of Xu Zhaoyi's shirt pocket with concern.
Xu Zhaoyi's reaction was not very obvious. He looked more like he was sleepy. Qin Sheng thought that he hadn't slept all night because he had killed too many people yesterday. He felt a little regretful that he had ignored his friend's mental state.
But the truth turned out to be: "It's okay, I'm just about to break through. I thought I could suppress it until I returned home, but my body seems to have a mind of its own."
Qin Sheng was shocked. He had just broken through the sixth level two days ago. This was too fast. The male protagonist's cultivation speed was indeed completely unethical.
Fortunately, if this guy didn't immerse himself in practicing the Starfire Technique, there would be no special movement during his breakthroughs. Otherwise, he would have to consider taking the person to the bathroom and then teleporting him home. At that time, he would have to deal with the news that two passengers were missing on the plane.
This was the first time Xu Zhaoyi felt so uncomfortable since he got engaged to Qin Sheng. He was actually a little unaccustomed to it. He frowned and leaned against the back of his seat, using all his energy to suppress his cultivation.
Seeing that he was really uncomfortable, Qin Sheng leaned over to help him adjust the seat. Unexpectedly, he suddenly felt warmth in his arms, and Xu Zhaoyi leaned towards him unconsciously.
He froze for a moment, but then relaxed, put his arm around the person and patted him on the back.
Just like the time when Xu Zhaoyi felt hot all over after eating the little fish monster in Luoxing Lake, Qin Sheng whispered a calming spell in his ear in a voice so low that only the two of them could hear it.
This time, without the Soul-Calming Jade, it shouldn't have had much effect, but perhaps because Xu Zhaoyi was already very tired, he initially struggled to open his eyes and stared at Qin Sheng for a few seconds, but soon he rubbed Qin Sheng's shoulder and fell asleep completely.
Xu Zhaoyi didn't expect that he was sleeping on the plane and was lying at home when he woke up. Noodles finally cut back into the three-headed cub's vest and sat cross-legged beside the bed to guard him.
"Little daddy, you're finally awake. Do you feel uncomfortable anywhere?" Seeing him wake up, Noodles quickly got out of bed, touched a glass of spiritual water, and helped him stand up and take a sip.
Xu Zhaoyi was still in disbelief: "How long have I slept?" Could it be that Qin Sheng had carried him off the plane?
The truth could be worse than he thought.
Noodles relaxed and spread out on the bed. "You slept for two nights and two days. You fell asleep on the plane, and when we were getting off the plane, we couldn't wake you up. Dad had to carry you down. And then you didn't wake up all the way home."
As soon as Qin Sheng came back, he went to find Jin Nianyue and Zhou Jianwei. After explaining the pros and cons to Zhou Jianwei, he asked the guards to pick up his wife and daughter. The three of them were sent to another property of Qin Sheng for protection.
After settling them, Qin Sheng immediately asked the nurse to take Zhou Jianwei back to the manor for Xu Zhaoyi to check his body.
In the end, the result was the same as the noodle scan. Because he fell into sleep, the process of breakthrough was automatic and slow. It was nothing to worry about. He would wake up by himself after the breakthrough was over.
Noodles described the whole process in a straightforward manner, and finally sat up with bright eyes, took out his laptop, and showed him the video of Qin Sheng carrying Xu Zhaoyi off the plane.
"I developed a new function for the Fly Vest. Look! The photos I took with this vest are super beautiful!"
It's similar to drone photography, with 360-degree surround shooting. Noodles even felt a little regretful that it didn't think of this earlier on the day of Xu Zhaoyi and Li Zixin's duel.
However, the person involved, Xu Zhaoyi, was not very supportive. He just took a quick look and quickly turned his head away. Pretending to be very busy, he lifted the quilt and got up to wash up.
He didn't want to see himself being held like this by Qin Sheng, okay? If the roles were reversed, he could still appreciate it. Besides, was it reasonable for Qin Sheng to be so strong?
Thinking of this, he paused in brushing his teeth.
You should know that the muscle density of a cultivator's body will become higher than that of an ordinary person, and his bones are also more special. Generally speaking, he does not look very strong, but his actual weight is much heavier than that of an ordinary person of similar body shape.
Qin Sheng held him sideways like that. This should have been the most strenuous position, but he could actually walk freely with his back straight, as easy as if he was holding a silicone dummy.
Is this the physique a sickly nobleman should have?
Just as he was thinking about it, there was a knock on the bedroom door. The sickly young master himself came back. Xu Zhaoyi heard Qin Sheng asking about noodles.
"When did he wake up?"
"Just now." Noodles asked happily, "Let's make a big meal to celebrate. Little Daddy has broken through two levels again and has reached the eighth level of Qi training!"
Without waiting for Qin Sheng to answer, Xu Zhaoyi came out of the bathroom, pinched his little cheek and asked curiously, "I just discovered it myself, how did you know?"
"I have my own way." Noodles explained: "We still have to believe in the power of science!"
Okay, this involves Xu Zhaoyi's blind spot in knowledge. Anything that cannot be understood can be explained away by science. He didn't even ask Xu Zhaoyi about Qin Sheng's unusual physical strength in carrying him off the plane. He guessed that Noodles had used some special method!
Only then did Xu Zhaoyi raise his eyes and look at Qin Sheng, who happened to be looking at him.
"Are you feeling uncomfortable anywhere?" Qin Sheng subconsciously took a step forward, raised his hand halfway, and then suddenly withdrew it.
These days, I have developed the habit of coming in every once in a while to touch Xu Zhaoyi's forehead to make sure he is in good condition.
Xu Zhaoyi obviously also understood the meaning of this half-completed action, and couldn't help but curl the corners of his mouth.
"No, I'm fine."
I took an extra-long nap and when I woke up I had broken through to the eighth level of Qi Refining. How could that be bad?
Qin Sheng lowered his head and smiled, realizing that his question was unnecessary. He then said, "I received something from a special channel these past two days. Since you've woken up, I'll take you to see it."
Xu Zhaoyi nodded.
In fact, he originally wanted to go see his parents first, but it was rare that Qin Sheng was so eager to show him something, and he didn't want to spoil his fun. Anyway, his parents were next door, so he could go anytime.
Qin Sheng brought Xu Zhaoyi to the safe in the study. Xu Zhaoyi still remembered that the book "Complete Collection of Dongxuan Formations" that Qin Sheng gave him last time was also taken out from here.
The thing Qin Sheng put in there couldn't be anything ordinary. Xu Zhaoyi guessed it might be some kind of heavenly treasure. That was until Qin Sheng pulled out a long wooden box and opened it in front of him...
Two blank purple talismans, emitting rich power of law, lay quietly inside.
Xu Zhaoyi's breathing suddenly became tight.
"I got it by chance. I've already asked someone to follow up on this channel. Maybe I can get all four."
Qin Sheng thought that the rewards for the next two tasks should be this, so it was not just empty talk for Xu Zhaoyi.
"Um."
Xu Zhaoyi took a few deep breaths before calming down. Although he had hoped that there was a ready-made purple talisman in the Qin family's forbidden area, it was just an unconfirmed guess.
Qin Sheng did not give up searching through other channels just because of his guess, and finally he managed to deliver two intact purple talismans to him first.
Who can remain unmoved by such a person?
Xu Zhaoyi thought that it was normal for him to be attracted to the point of being slightly gay!
After looking at it, the purple talisman was put away and put back into the safe. Qin Sheng said that once they collected all four purple talismans, they could start studying the Transformation Rotation Array.
Xu Zhaoyi nodded blankly, as if he had not yet recovered from the huge surprise. It was not until Qin Sheng asked him if he had any new plans for cultivation that he came to his senses.
But he asked first: "How is the Qin family doing now? Will they suspect you because they can't find Zhou Jianwei?"
The relationship between the two of them and Jin Nianyue is obvious, and Zhou Jianwei is Jin Nianyue's employee. When Qin Shi had such a big incident, Zhou Jianwei, who was a little suspicious, suddenly disappeared. Qin Sheng was a little suspicious in this.
"Maybe. I can't control what they think even if I do what I want." Qin Sheng shrugged and didn't care much. The main reason was that his teammates were very capable. He had already reached the ninth level of Qi Refining and was very close to building a foundation.
Besides, the Qin family wouldn't tear their faces off with him over a little suspicion unless it was absolutely necessary. He tapped the armrest of the sofa with his fingertips: "Even if they suspected me, they wouldn't dare to do anything. They would probably try to trick us into moving back to the Qin family."
Xu Zhaoyi's heart skipped a beat when he heard this, and he suddenly remembered that Qin Sheng seemed to have told him what to do when he reached the ninth level of Qi Refining... and he was already at the eighth level of Qi Refining. With his speed of cultivation, he was only one step away from this condition.
He didn't know what he was thinking. Even though he knew that this marriage was a cooperation, he still felt inexplicably eager to try it.
Without even thinking, he blurted out, "Let's go back and get married?"
Qin Sheng raised his eyebrows and looked at him in surprise.
