Chapter 85: Night Talk Just think of it as Master needing your company, okay? ...
Half a quarter of an hour later, the three of them sat cross-legged in Qianyuan Jianzun's room.
The candlelight was dimmed, casting silence into the room.
Yue Ji's cold gaze swept back and forth between Qi Qing and Qianyuan Jianzun, and finally stopped at Qi Qing's face. There was a faint sneer at the corner of his lips, and he was obviously waiting for his explanation.
Qi Qing coughed lightly and decided to divert the conflict: "What happened to you just now?"
He pointed at the torn part of Yue Ji's shirt hem and said, "Didn't you tell me during the day that there was no problem?"
Yue Ji sneered righteously: "Compared to my little problem, it is obvious that Master's problem is bigger, right?"
"What's the problem, Master?" Qi Qing couldn't help but argue, "Qian Yuan Sword Master is kind enough to help me, but the problem is difficult to solve at the moment, so he asked me to stay here for a few nights."
"How many nights are left?" Yue Ji's voice suddenly rose, his eyes slightly widened, and he looked at Qian Yuan Jian Zun fiercely: "This is clearly taking advantage of someone's misfortune..."
"Yue Ji!"
Qi Qing interrupted him hastily, fearing that he would say something outrageous.
Yue Ji stopped talking and looked at him dimly.
Qian Yuan Jian Zun sighed softly: "You misunderstood, friend Yue."
He looked calm and said, "This is just a temporary measure to protect your master. If you need, you can stay here temporarily."
"The elder is really broad-minded," Yue Ji said coldly, "but I am a person with a short life and little luck, and I cannot accept good intentions."
Qi Qing held his hand and said disapprovingly, "Don't be rude. I am only here to avoid danger temporarily. Nothing wrong has happened."
Yue Ji immediately turned his attention to him: "Master, why didn't you tell me this during the day? Now you know how to explain it?"
Qi Qing couldn't help but ask, "Aren't you hiding it from me too?"
He hardened his heart and looked back into those eyes that were clearly black and white.
Yue Ji remained silent.
The two looked at each other, and there was a stalemate for a moment.
Seeing this, Qianyuan Jianzun poured a cup of hot tea for each of them, and for once acted as a peacemaker: "It is wrong for Junior Brother Qi to conceal something, but it is impolite for Young Friend Yue to argue with Master like this."
Yue Ji sneered and said nothing.
Qi Qing knew his disciple's character very well, so he didn't wait any longer. He took a deep breath, stood up and said, "Let's go out and talk."
He took Yue Ji's hand and led him out without saying a word - Yue Ji didn't struggle.
The traces of the fight in the corridor were covered up and the strange red marks were also cleaned up.
Most of the monks in the building had already gone to bed. Everything was completely silent except for the rustling sound of wind blowing through the bamboo forest.
Qi Qing was afraid of disturbing others, so he gestured towards the bamboo forest in front of the small building, tapped his toes, and flew down from the building first.
Yue Ji followed closely behind him like a shadow and entered the bamboo forest together.
Without waiting for Qi Qing to speak, he raised his hand to cast a soundproof barrier, and then grabbed Qi Qing's wrist: "Master, you knew I would be angry, why did you hide it from me?"
Qi Qing asked softly, "Don't you know that your master will be worried?"
Yue Ji pursed his lips, a trace of grievance flashed across his face: "I was afraid that Master would worry..."
"Yue Ji." Qi Qing interrupted him: "Now that things have come to this, is there any point in dwelling on these things?"
Hearing this, the young man in black was silent, and his tone turned cold: "That's right."
He lifted his eyelids and said in a deep voice: "If I had known this, I should have let Master live with me during the day."
Qi Qing noticed that he looked different and reminded him, "My room is also dangerous."
"At worst, we can live and die together." Yue Ji increased the strength of his hands, and his dark eyes moved to his face, and he spoke word by word: "...It's better than watching your Taoist partner sneaking into someone else's room late at night, isn't it?"
Qi Qing shook his head: "The rules clearly state that we have to sleep separately."
"The rules clearly state that the safety of the contestants should be guaranteed, and I don't see Yuqing Sect holding back against us?"
Yue Ji sneered even more: "Besides, Master and Qianyuan Sword Master are doing this, doesn't it count as violating the separate sleeping quarters?"
"I slept on the floor." Qi Qing felt it necessary to clear his name.
"——Do you still want to roll into the same bed with him?"
Yue Ji's face was extremely unfriendly. For every word Qi Qing said, he could reply with ten words. He was clearly suppressing his anger. If they continued talking, there was no guarantee that the two of them would not have a big fight.
Qi Qing didn't want to argue with him, so he turned away and said, "Then what do you think?"
Yue Ji turned around suddenly: "Of course you follow me!"
He dragged Qi Qing for a few steps, speaking in a very fierce tone, but the moment he turned around, Qi Qing still saw some resentment on his face, mixed with a little grievance, and he looked pitiful.
...Forget it, this guy has been like this since he was a child, what else can he care about.
Qi Qing sighed and softened his attitude: "Isn't the problem in your room still unsolved?"
Otherwise, he wouldn't be fighting with that weird thing in the middle of the night.
"Master knows everything anyway." Yue Ji didn't turn around, his tone was cold: "It's just a formation, I can still suppress it, just wait a few more days and it will be fine... Anyway, just stay here and rest assured. If anything happens, I will take care of it first."
"Okay." Qi Qing had no choice but to hold his other hand and said, "Now is not the time to act on impulse. Since there is a safer place to go, why do we have to take risks?"
Yue Ji turned his head suddenly, his expression becoming ugly again: "Do you still want to live in Qianyuan Jianzun's house?"
"Stay a few more days." Qi Qing didn't wait for him to refute, and held his hand tightly and said softly: "You come with me."
Yue Ji was stunned for a moment and stopped.
Qi Qing raised his hands and held him in his arms.
Just like treating a child who made mistakes in childhood, the young man's arms were warm and gentle, wrapping him up affectionately, as if there had never been any grudges at all.
"Just think of it as Master needing you to accompany him, okay?" Qi Qing asked in a gentle voice.
He lifted up the loose hair that fell on Yue Ji's cheek and kissed him gently, making Yue Ji suddenly feel a little at a loss.
The young man in black, who was furious just now, stood still, and all his anger melted away in his voice like spring water.
Qi Qing kissed him a few more times before tentatively pulling him.
"go back?"
The invisible thorns around Yue Ji's body softened. He pursed his lips and stopped talking, obediently allowing his master to lead the hand and walk forward.
When they returned to the small building, Qi Qing remembered something and coaxed her softly, "From now on, we should be honest with each other and stop hiding things from each other, okay? I'd rather worry about you."
Yue Ji's eyes flickered, and he said softly, "... Yeah."
After receiving the affirmation, Qi Qing sensed a subtlety and asked, "Since you have agreed, are you hiding something from me? Tell me now and I will forgive you for what happened."
Yue Ji froze for a moment, and said decisively, "No."
Qi Qing confirmed: "Really?"
"Master, just trust me," Yue Ji lowered his eyes and lowered his voice a little: "No."
"Then go back and rest."
Qi Qing rubbed the top of his head, and the two of them went upstairs together and returned to Qianyuan Jianzun's room.
I thought that Qian Yuan Jian Zun had not allowed others to know that Qi Qing was staying with him because of his reputation, but I didn't expect that he would easily agree to let Yue Ji stay with him.
Qi Qing happily cupped his hands and said, "Thank you, Elder, for your generosity!"
He secretly poked Yue Ji, and Yue Ji reluctantly echoed him.
Qianyuan Sword Master's expression was still as indifferent as before: "As an elder, I should take care of our disciples. One more or one less makes no difference. I ordered you not to make it public before because I was afraid that you would be involved in too many karmas."
"Ah?" Qi Qing didn't expect this to be the reason, and asked in surprise: "But I'm only in the Nascent Soul stage, how can I be affected by it?"
Qian Yuan Jian Zun shook his head: "In the path of cultivation, cause and effect are the most important. This matter has nothing to do with realm."
He flicked his fingers together, and the faint candlelight was completely extinguished.
"Junior Brother Qi will be able to break through to the Spiritual Transformation Stage soon, so you should be more careful during this period. Okay, you two can do as you please."
After he finished speaking, he closed his eyes again and continued to meditate without any further movement.
There were no extra beddings in the room, but Yue Ji didn't care and moved into Qi Qing's bed very naturally.
The space was small, so the two of them squeezed together, face to face, body to body, making the quilt warm.
Even though they had done something more intimate than sleeping in each other's arms, due to the presence of a third person, Qi Qing couldn't help but tense his body and even deliberately lightened his breathing.
Yue Ji buried his head in the crook of his neck and played with his hands for a while. Noticing that he was a little nervous, he paused and touched his leg as if unintentionally.
Qi Qing tried to hold down the hand in embarrassment, but the hand slipped around him and went down along his lower back, rubbing the waist and rubbing the coccyx in an ambiguous manner.
Qi Qing glared at him, moved his mouth, and said silently: "Don't mess around."
Yue Ji lowered his head and pretended not to see it. His teeth rubbed the skin on the side of his neck, and his hands moved more and more boldly.
Qi Qing shuddered all over, fearing that his disordered breath would alarm the third person in the room, so he gritted his teeth and whispered, "Are you going to rebel? If you want to settle the score or collect the debt, we can talk about it when we get back... Consider this as a beg from your Master, okay?"
Yue Ji suddenly raised his eyes, as if he had been waiting for this promise: "Is it settled? Then Master, please don't be angry with me then."
Qi Qing felt vaguely that he had fallen into a trap, but in front of Qianyuan Sword Master, he was really afraid that he would do something wrong, so he swallowed his anger and said, "You can do whatever you want when the time comes. Is that enough?"
As soon as the words came out of his mouth, the young man couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed. As a master, he had to say such words just to coax his apprentice, which was really not serious.
Yue Ji was content. He rubbed his cheek, hugged him tightly and fell asleep.
On the second day, when the three of them came out of Qianyuan Jianzun's room at the same time, they immediately attracted the shocked gazes of Song Wen and Song Wu.
——What key learning point have they missed!
Qi Qing pretended not to notice their accusatory looks, coughed lightly, had a quick breakfast, and went to the competition venue with Yue Ji.
The scale of this sect competition was unprecedented. The number of cultivators participating was far more than those received by Yuqing Sect. Many cultivators from Xuantian Pavilion and Yunxiao Palace also went, so the venue of the competition became a problem.
The mighty ones from several sects joined forces to perform the art of shrinking the earth into an inch, creating a competition venue between the junctions of several sects for contestants from all factions to move freely.
When the two arrived, many cultivators had gathered here and the place was crowded. Qi Qing only vaguely caught a glimpse of a white-robed figure that seemed to be a disciple of Dan Sect in the crowd, but could not find the figures of the Wanshou Sect's brother and sister and Miao Zheng.
Not good.
If they hadn't come, Yuqing Sect's target this time would only be him and Yue Ji.
"I heard that these major sects have lost a lot of elite disciples," someone beside him whispered, "Do you think they will use this competition to recruit some talents from other sects to fill the vacancies?"
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone immediately became restless.
If they could seize this opportunity to catch the eye of some elder... for cultivators like them who come from small sects, it would be like a leap from a carp to a dragon!
A flash of coldness passed through Qi Qing's eyes.
Filling the vacancy? I'm afraid it would take human lives to fill it, right?
Today's opening match was led by two unknown small sects. The fight was not very exciting, causing many people to yawn and lose interest.
However, Qi Qing noticed that there was a young man in a goose yellow brocade robe in the audience who had been staring at this side from the beginning. He had a gentle and elegant temperament, but his eyes were very arrogant.
After noticing that he was looking back, the man raised his eyebrows slightly, pointed at Yue Ji beside him, and made a gesture of wiping his neck.
The lip language is: Have you thought about how to die?
