Chapter 27: The Dark Room is no longer angry, Master makes a pinky promise with you...
Although Qi Qing was extremely reluctant and hesitant, he finally followed him back to the City Lord's Mansion.
As he was about to reach the magnificent mansion gate, he deliberately fell behind by a few steps, using Miao Zheng's tall figure to block himself, hoping to avoid other people's sight when entering through the main gate.
However, just as he stepped through the door, a faint voice sounded from the side: "Master has finally decided to come back?"
The young man stopped and looked up at the sky.
【This cloud is really a cloud. 】
【The sky also looks like a sky. 】
[Wow, whose kid is the one calling out to someone? It's so hard to guess, does the host know him? ]
【Attention, the anchor is guilty. 】
...Who said he was guilty!
Yue Ji was his disciple, so how could he dare to teach his master a lesson? He was simply rebelling against Tian Gang.
Qi Qing touched his nose, stepped forward and said with a dry laugh, "Haha, have you and that... ahem, alchemy teacher finished the class?"
Yue Ji looked at him silently, his eyes sharp, which made him feel uneasy.
He coughed twice and explained, "Master went out to buy spiritual herbs for you. Don't you need spiritual herbs of higher quality for your exam? I bought some. Can you take a look?"
In front of everyone, the boy turned and left without saying a word.
"Yue Ji?" Qi Qing hurriedly chased after him. He knew that he had been a little unfair today, and it was reasonable for the kid to be angry. "Don't be in such a hurry to leave. Master hasn't shown you yet."
After running two steps, his arm was grabbed by the white gauze.
"etc."
The man in white narrowed his eyes, staring at the boy's back, then turned his head slightly to glance at Qi Qing and asked slowly, "Do you live in the City Lord's Mansion?"
Qi Qing didn't think this was a secret and said casually, "Yes."
Miao Zheng's cold face slightly raised the end of her eyebrows, revealing a meaningful understanding.
He let go of her hand and said calmly, "So you are the distinguished guest named Qi from the City Lord's Mansion."
"Have you heard of it?" Qi Qing felt a little strange.
Miao Zheng took one last look at Yue Ji out of the corner of her eye and continued walking forward.
He said calmly, "It's rare for the City Lord's Mansion to have distinguished guests. It's very rare."
Qi Qing did not say anything else. At this moment, he just wanted to stop Yue Ji and explain things to him. He did not want to get entangled with them anymore. However, the city lord had already received the news and appeared behind the corridor.
"Fairy Miao Zheng!" He walked over quickly and saw Qi Qing was there too. He asked in surprise, "Does your benefactor know Fairy Miao Zheng?"
"Yeah." Qi Qing responded absentmindedly, and glanced at Yue Ji's figure disappearing around the corner with concern.
I hope these people can talk faster, because he still has to coax the children after they are done.
The shopkeeper was also concerned about the mess in the building, so he didn't say much. They went to the side hall, and the shopkeeper briefly explained the situation. Miao Zheng listened calmly, without interrupting him, and only added at the end that he was willing to bear the expenses and losses of Baocui Building today, which was so generous that it made people smack their lips!
How could an ordinary cultivator have such wealth to squander? It must be said that the sect behind Miao Zheng was a little too powerful.
However, it is better this way. If Yue Ji chooses another sect in the future, he will feel more at ease.
After the two men had reached an agreement, the shopkeeper turned to Qi Qing and asked him what kind of reward he wanted.
Qi Qing thought for a moment and said, "The Alchemy Conference will be held in a few days. My disciple is interested in participating, but since this is our first time in Liucheng, I don't know if the spiritual herbs are fully prepared. If there is anything missing, come to Baocui Tower to purchase them. Can the shopkeeper give us a discount?"
The young man did not ask for an exorbitant amount of money. His attitude was humble and polite, and the shopkeeper immediately liked him very much.
He said readily, "No problem! I will give you a jade pendant. You can come to our building to buy things with the jade pendant. Except for the rare spiritual herbs, everything else will be given away for free!"
After saying that, he actually took out a jade pendant from his body and handed it over.
Seeing this, the city lord sighed and said, "My benefactor is indeed chivalrous and loves to help others. It has only been three days and he has helped others with important matters."
Qi Qing smiled awkwardly and said, "I don't deserve it."
He went out to slack off and ended up offending the male protagonist's ambiguous object in the original novel. What could he do?
He is also desperate!
The young man tied the jade pendant around his waist and said, "If you are all free, I will withdraw and go to see how my disciple is practicing."
"Let's go."
Unexpectedly, Miao Zheng took the first step: "Lord City Lord, I have something important to do, so I'll take my leave first."
The city lord nodded and did not try to persuade Qi Qing to stay. He only whispered to Qi Qing when he passed by: "My benefactor, will you come over for dinner later?"
Qi Qing avoided his sparkling eyes and laughed, "Let's talk about it later."
His disciple seemed to dislike this person. At this critical moment, it would be better not to add fuel to the fire.
After leaving the main hall, Miao Zheng suddenly turned around and whispered to Qi Qing: "The child who just spoke to you is called Yue Ji?"
Qi Qing agreed, thinking Miao Zheng would ask something else.
But this person just lowered his eyes thoughtfully, and did not say another word until he left the City Lord's Mansion.
[Let’s go, go back and comfort your child, don’t let anyone wait anxiously. ]
[The cub might be hiding and crying secretly. ]
[This person is not simple, the anchor is better to avoid him. ]
[It won't be long before you have to change your master. The host doesn't need to dote on his apprentice so much. Just let him hone his character. ]
Qi Qing selectively ignored the last one and went straight back to the small hall.
Yue Ji's breath was in his room. He entered the hall and pushed the door open a tiny crack.
"Yue Ji?"
He called out softly.
The room was dimly lit, with only a ray of sunlight coming in through the cracks, staining the green color of the gauze curtains beside the bedposts onto the ground, like light blue smoke.
In the darkness, the boy's figure was blurry, and he seemed to be curled up in the depths of the bed, motionless.
Fortunately, I didn’t run around.
Qi Qing felt relieved, turned off the live broadcast, and walked slowly into the house.
"Yue Ji."
The young man came to sit beside the bed, and said in a gentle voice, "Master apologizes to you. I said I would accompany you, but I left on my own. It was wrong. I will accompany you in class from now on, okay?"
As he spoke, he took out the spiritual herbs he had bought from Baocui Tower from his storage ring. The room immediately filled with a fresh scent of plants and trees mixed with a hint of medicinal aroma, proving that he had not spoken and had indeed gone to buy the spiritual herbs.
"Take it quickly, it's all for you."
Yue Ji moved his head slightly, as if glancing at him, but did not speak.
Qi Qing pushed aside his fingers one by one and put the herbs into the boy's palm. Then he held his hand and hooked his little finger.
"I'm serious this time." He said in a gentle voice, "Master makes a pinky promise with you, ok?"
After a moment's silence, the boy finally responded.
He hooked Qi Qing's fingers together, and his fingertips repeatedly groped on the back of the young man's hand, as if confirming something.
Is this considered as default?
Qi Qing felt relieved, and took the opportunity to hug the person in his arms, comforting him, "Okay, don't be angry anymore, keep the spiritual herbs, they are very expensive."
Yue Ji silently grabbed his collar, raised his chin slightly and rested it on his shoulder, still without saying a word.
Qi Qing patted his back gently, like coaxing a child, and hummed a jingle: "Don't be angry, don't be angry, if you get sick, no one will be able to help you... I promised Master that I won't be angry anymore."
The person in his arms rubbed his neck, her hair stood up, and a strand or two scratched his cheek.
The two of them sat in silence in the dark for a while. The young man felt that he had coaxed the other person enough, so he made small talk: "The room is too dark, I'll go open the window."
He was about to stand up, but was pulled back by the young man.
Yue Ji stood up from his half-kneeling position and pressed Qi Qing back onto the bed. Although his movements were gentle, they carried a tone that did not allow for rejection.
As a result, Qi Qing was shorter than Yue Ji and had to lean on his chest.
"No." Yue Ji finally spoke, his voice hoarse and a little stubborn: "I don't want to see other people."
Finally he was willing to speak.
Qi Qing smiled and obeyed him: "Okay, if you say you don't want to open it, then don't open it. So what do you want to eat tonight? Let's go out and try something new?"
Yue Ji hummed and sat down, put his arms around Qi Qing's shoulders, tilted his head, and seemed to be thinking about something.
"The food in Liucheng is very sour, I'm afraid you can't get used to it..."
"Who is that person who came today?"
The two voices sounded at the same time.
Qi Qing was stunned for a moment, then asked, "Miao Zheng, why are you asking this?"
But since Yue Ji mentioned it, the young man started to chat casually: "This person is a famous alchemist in Liucheng. He comes from a big clan, has a calm mind, and has profound attainments in alchemy. He is most likely your rival in the alchemy conference."
Yue Ji pursed his lips, suddenly withdrew his arms around Qi Qing, stood up, stepped over Qi Qing, and got off the bed.
"What's wrong again?" Qi Qing said helplessly.
"Master admires her very much."
The young man asked in a hoarse voice, "Why? Because she can make elixirs? Or because she is beautiful?"
Qi Qing choked when asked.
What did he say?
You can't say that you met your future ambiguous object and rival on the road, and you couldn't defeat him no matter how hard you tried, right?
Not getting an immediate reply, Yue Ji was silent for a while, then suddenly spoke in a cold voice: "I will learn how to make pills, Master."
What else is good about that person besides being able to make pills?
He would definitely defeat this person at the alchemy conference—he promised.
