Chapter 92 I really want to reply to your message
Qi Qing sat cross-legged on the floor of the room in a daze.
Perhaps it was Yuqing Sect's small revenge. All contestants who participated in the night banquet were not only denied access, but were also ordered not to leave the room without permission within three days unless it was an important matter. There were also disciples guarding and monitoring outside the door.
Although he was unable to find out who was behind the scenes in the room, fortunately Qianyuan Sword Master was right across the street, so he didn't have to worry too much about his safety, and he could endure the boredom.
But - Yue Ji was detained downstairs alone, and I was afraid he wouldn't be able to endure it for more than three days.
Facts proved that Qi Qing was right. Not only did Yue Ji not endure for three days, he couldn't even stay still for half a day.
The young man had his hands on his knees, eyes closed and was regulating his breathing when he suddenly felt something pulling at his belt at the lower back.
He looked back alertly, but there was nothing behind him.
Hallucination?
Qi Qing turned back and continued to be in a daze, when his belt was suddenly hooked again.
This time he was well prepared, and turned around suddenly -
There was still nothing behind.
Qi Qing raised his eyebrows in confusion, and as he thought of something, his gaze slowly moved downwards.
Then I met a pair of small eyes head-on.
A small wooden doll stood on the ground. It was only the size of a palm, with the workmanship so crude that it was appalling. The wood splinters were raised, and its facial features were simply carved with a few strokes. It just looked up at him blankly.
It was the little hand with the wooden spike that was hooked on his belt.
"……?"
Where did this little thing crawl in from?
Qi Qing picked it up in surprise, and because he didn't hold it firmly, the little doll almost fell down.
It held Qi Qing's fingers tightly, and after standing firm, it waved its little hands eagerly.
Following the instruction, Qi Qing turned it over.
There was a secret compartment on the back of such a small thing. When I opened it, I saw a piece of paper rolled into a thin strip.
There is only one person who can make such a stupid little thing and let it crawl in without anyone noticing.
——Could it be that Yue Ji discovered something important?
Qi Qing's heart tightened. He carefully closed the window first, then made sure the door bolt was secure, and then unfolded the note in the dark.
There are five powerful characters on it:
【Master, have you eaten? 】
“…”
Qi Qing applied a little force to the fingers holding the note.
I knew I shouldn't have any expectations!
The young man expressionlessly crumpled the note into a ball. He didn't want to pay any attention to it, but the little doll struggled to climb onto his lap, tilted its head back, and looked at him with its dull, little eyes, as if it wanted a reply from him.
"Go away."
Qi Qing pushed it away with one finger.
The little doll fell to the ground with a thud, rolled over and stood up again. It was surprisingly stubborn and persevered in using the wooden thorn to hook its clothes and climb up again.
"Don't pull it, eh!" The young man threw the note and immediately tried to catch it: "You prodigal, do you know that I just ordered this dress before I went out? It's made of top quality material, how can I keep up appearances if it's scratched? Let go!"
He held the little doll in the air, its limbs still flapping in the air, and it began to indicate the secret compartment behind it.
——I really want to reply.
Qi Qing held his forehead with his hand. He could only get this information from its body movements.
If I don't give an answer today, this little thing will probably make trouble until the end of time.
He sighed, wordlessly tore off a piece of paper and hastily wrote a reply: "I've eaten, stay put, don't reply to this message."
When the little doll received the reply, it immediately became energetic and climbed down quickly.
Qi Qing paid special attention to its route. It jumped off the table, stepped carefully onto the ground, flexibly went around his legs and the foot of the bed, and then - dived into the shadow under the bed.
He was stunned and immediately lay down to look.
No, no…when did a hole appear!
The little doll crawled down the dark hole, making a rustling sound as it moved through the mezzanine, and it climbed over mountains and crossed rivers, returning to its owner with difficulty.
Qi Qing was speechless for a moment. Yue Ji still had the mind to dig a hole to pass a note at a time like this. He didn't care about the ups and downs outside at all!
He stood guard at the hole under the bed in a bad mood, and sure enough, in less than half a cup of tea, the little doll came out of the hole with a grunt.
"Didn't I tell you not to reply?"
Qi Qing picked it up and shook it back and forth. The little doll was dizzy, but it did not forget to take out a new note as if presenting a treasure.
【Why can’t I go back? 】
"..." Qi Qing took a deep breath and wrote on the back of the note: "If you are bored, just go and meditate, okay? Okay. Note: Do not reply to this message."
After sending the little doll away, he covered the hole under the bed and turned on the live broadcast to chat with the barrage.
Although he had won a game against Xuantian Pavilion, Qi Qing still felt a little uneasy.
He originally wanted to take the opportunity to find out some information about the Spirit-Testing Mirror, to see if he could find any flaws in this magic weapon, or any possible manipulation by the Yuqing Sect. However, just as he glanced at the barrage of comments, a muffled "thump thump" sound came from the hole under the bed.
He frowned and moved the lid away, only to see the little doll with a gray head and wooden thorns polished off its body crawling out for the third time.
[I am meditating, but I really want to talk to Master. ]
“…”
Back and forth, Yue Ji was like a primary school student who had just learned how to pass notes. He was having a lot of fun and wrote down all kinds of trivial nonsense, knowing that Qi Qing would reply to him.
This went on until before dinner. Qi Qing looked at the small notes scattered all over the floor, and the veins on his forehead couldn't help but twitch.
He understood that Yue Ji was bored, but he shouldn't be so bored that he could only pass the time by passing notes, right? In three days, he would have to face the Yunxiao Sect's spirit-testing mirror and Xuantian Pavilion's accusations. How could this bastard have no sense of urgency at all?
Is he the only one who is worried?
He squinted at the little puppet in front of him that was jumping around and asking for a reply, then suddenly stretched out his hand and made a "gun" gesture.
“Bang!”
As he spoke and moved, blue spiritual power instantly wrapped around the little puppet like a chain, tripping it to the ground.
Qi Qing picked it up coldly and put it into his ring, snorting, "You didn't study hard, so you passed notes in class, right? The teacher confiscated it."
I confiscate one as soon as it comes, and see how many Yue Ji can hold on to.
There was the sound of disciples delivering meals one by one outside the door. Qi Qing listened carefully, wondering what kind of food Yuqing Sect would send tonight, when suddenly, there was a rustling sound coming from the hole under the bed.
——Come again?
The craftsman has become a master, right?
Qi Qing was speechless. He strode back, opened the bed curtain, lay down suddenly, and reached out to grab the new doll.
But the next second, he was unexpectedly met with a pair of eyes under the bed.
Yue Ji poked half of his head out, looked at him eagerly, and asked in a low voice: "Master, why didn't you reply to me just now?"
Qi Qing: “…”
He took a deep breath again and gritted his teeth and said, "Don't you have anything to do?"
"Things to do in three days are all piled up at once. Why don't you think about how to deal with them instead of passing notes here? If you are really bored, you might as well study how to break the Feng Shui formation in this room!"
After a pause, he remembered something and grabbed Yue Ji's collar: "Also, whose beam did you step on to climb over here? Were you discovered?"
"I..." Yue Ji had just opened his mouth when there was a sudden knock on the door.
"Senior Qi, I am here to deliver dinner. Could you please open the door?"
Qi Qing immediately raised his index finger to his lips, signaling Yue Ji to be quiet, and then raised his voice and said, "Here it comes."
He unbolted the door and saw two Yuqing Sect disciples standing politely at the door, holding several stacks of exquisite food boxes.
"Senior, this is today's dinner." The leading disciple bowed slightly: "If there are any dishes that don't suit your taste, or if you have other needs, please let me know."
Qi Qing took the food box and was about to turn around when he suddenly stopped.
He glanced sideways and asked, "Any request is OK?"
The disciple said, "Of course."
"Then give me another one." He ordered promptly.
The disciple was startled, and before he could react, Qi Qing glanced at him coldly: "Why, I have a good appetite, is that strange?"
"No, I dare not..." The disciple had obviously heard about Qi Qing's record of confronting anyone he caught, so he didn't dare to say more and quickly presented another food box.
After all the disciples had left, Qi Qing bolted the door again and knocked on the bed with his fingers: "Come out and eat."
Yue Ji crawled out like a little puppet.
He was obviously a tall and straight young man, but at this moment he was like a puppy. He rubbed against him and sat down, looking up and calling, "Master."
Qi Qing knocked him on the head with chopsticks: "You are covered in dust, go and clean it off."
Yue Ji obediently went to the side and patted his robe, then stuck back clingingly, almost rubbing into Qi Qing's arms.
Qi Qing was busy unpacking the food box, leaning against his head and wondering, "What happened? Wasn't he fine during the day? Why do you miss me so much suddenly?"
"Because Master spoke for me." Yue Ji raised the corners of his lips, his eyes sparkling: "He even scolded others for me, I'm so happy."
Qi Qing was speechless: "Are you happy to hear me scold you? What's wrong with you?"
Strictly speaking, he didn't say a single dirty word. At most, he was trying to convince people with reason, not really cursing.
Yue Ji happily picked up a piece of food for him with chopsticks, leaned closer and said, "Of course I like Master's problem... Can I stay tonight?"
Qi Qing chewed a little, raised his eyes and glanced at him and asked, "Do you have an avatar left in your room?"
Since Yue Ji dared to swagger into his room, he must have made a backup plan. However, these shady tricks were so frequent that if he guessed that they were together and plotted against them secretly, it would be troublesome.
Yue Ji nodded, as if he was about to say something, but his eyes suddenly became distracted for a moment.
"What's wrong?" Qi Qing noticed his movements.
The young man in black suddenly turned pale.
…
downstairs.
The "person" lying on the bed, as still as a stone statue, slowly opened his eyes.
His face was blurry and his whole body was shrouded in a black aura that was difficult to distinguish between reality and illusion. It seemed that he would dissipate into mist at any time.
And behind this mist, another shadow emerged silently.
"Are you practicing?"
In response to the question, the "person" on the bed said coldly: "If you are not going to do business, what are you doing here?"
The shadow who came later laughed hoarsely: "I came to see you on my way here, fearing that you might be attacked by the blood parasite, is that not okay?"
"It seems you have found the direction." Yue Ji stood up calmly.
"It's easy to find a formation master, and the task is not difficult to complete. We should have started tonight." The black shadow floated to the other side of him and whispered, "But the master asked me to bring you a message... He has heard about your wonderful performance in the cultivation world recently."
He smiled subtly: "You know, the master is not so well-informed. Even he knows about it. I guess you are too famous."
Yue Ji's eyes suddenly turned cold: "What does he want to do now?"
"He doesn't like pawns that are too prominent, and your performance has far exceeded his expectations." The black shadow said slowly: "The master ordered me to 'invite' you back after I finish my work."
He deliberately emphasized the word: "... along with the spoils you've gained over the years."
The young man in black suddenly raised his eyes and looked at him, his eyes as cold as stars: "...What did you say?!"
The black shadow just laughed silently, and his figure gradually faded away.
"I will deal with the people you ordered tonight. As for you..." He paused meaningfully: "Time is running out."
