As a result, Duancheng has seen an influx of people who come to join in the excitement, watch the competition, and broaden their horizons, resulting in a significant increase in foot traffic in the city these days.
Shangguan Xi was very happy, looking at and touching this and that as if she had inexhaustible energy. She bought a lot of strange little things, and also bought a lot for Xu Yuehuai. She wanted to refuse, but in the end she was forced to accept so many things.
Xu Yuehuai was thinking about when she could return something to Shangguan Xi. The two just wanted to enjoy a nice stroll, but unexpectedly, Xu Yuehuai encountered someone unexpected: Pu Tianyi.
Pu Tianyi's eyes lit up the moment he saw Xu Yuehuai, and he quickly walked to her side. "Yueyue, why are you the only one here? Where are Ji Yuanchi and Second Brother? Aren't they with you?"
Who could have imagined that in such a short time, people who seemed to be very close before would now go their separate ways? Pu Tianyi could not have imagined that after the people from Qianlibao arrived in Duancheng, he would immediately come to find his former companions, wanting to see what they were doing.
Following the directions of passersby, I found the inn in Qingtao Valley, and unexpectedly, I ran into Xu Yuehuai on the way.
Shangguan Xi glanced at the man in front of her. When she saw that there was no lust in Xu Yuehuai's eyes, she turned her eyes to Pu Tianyi and said, "Oh, this young man has poor eyesight. I've been waiting here for so long, and you haven't even greeted me. It's really... heartbreaking."
Shangguan Xi covered her nose with one hand, her eyes filled with sadness. Pu Tianyi wasn't an ill-mannered person; he had been too excited to notice others nearby. Now, reminded, he turned to Shangguan Xi, his face apologetic, and scratched his head. "I'm sorry, I was too excited just now and didn't notice you were with Yueyue. Are you Yueyue's friend?"
"I think I hold a certain place in Senior Sister's heart..." she said, her eyes still subtly sending flirtatious glances at Pu Tianyi.
Pu Tianyi frowned slightly as he looked at her, then whispered, "Yueyue, is your friend's eye not very good? Look at her, she keeps blinking. That's a medical condition, she needs to get it treated!"
Pu Tianyi looked serious, and Xu Yuehuai couldn't help but chuckle. At the same time, she thought about her current relationship with Ji Yuanchi and Pu's second brother, and decided it was best not to get too close to Pu Tianyi. "Third brother, she and I have some things to do, so we'll be leaving now. If you want to find them, just go to the Laifu Inn up ahead and ask someone in the sect. You should be able to find them."
"Aren't you coming with me? The four of us haven't seen each other in a long time, shouldn't we get together?" Pu Tianyi was taken aback. He had feelings for Xu Yuehuai, and he thought that after so long, he should have become indifferent by now. But he never expected that the moment he saw Xu Yuehuai, his body recognized the person in front of him before he did.
"I won't go." After saying that, Xu Yuehuai didn't give him a chance to speak again, and turned to leave with Shangguan Xi.
Pu Tianyi's heart skipped a beat, sensing something was wrong. He hurried towards the direction of Laifu Inn, his steps frantic and chaotic, as if he wanted to fly.
When I got to the door, I took a look to make sure it was open before I went in. As soon as I stepped into Laifu Inn, the waiter kindly came up to me and said, "Sir, Laifu Inn is closed for the next two weeks. We can't offer meals or lodging. Please go to another inn."
The waiter's tone was very distant and polite, with a smile on his face and not a trace of impatience. Pu Tianyi replied, "I know, are the people living here from Qingtao Valley?"
“That’s right,” the waiter said.
Pu Tianyi asked, "Could you help me find a girl named Ji Yuanchi?"
On his way here, Pu Tianyi was terrified, afraid that they wouldn't make it. But when he learned that there was such an opportunity, he was certain that Ji Yuanchi and the others would do their best to come.
The waiter looked somewhat embarrassed. "Third Brother?"
A female voice came from behind. Pu Tianyi's expression froze for a moment, then he turned around. Standing behind him were Ji Yuanchi and Pu's second brother. The two were about to go outside when they unexpectedly ran into Pu Tianyi as soon as they went downstairs.
This competition selected only the best of the sects. The fact that the two of them were able to come was partly due to luck, so they dared not even dream that Pu Tianyi could come and that they could reunite.
But when he saw Pu Tianyi standing right in front of him, a long-lost sense of reunion welled up in his heart.
"Xiao Chi, hey, why aren't you guys going shopping with Yueyue?" Pu Tianyi asked as soon as he saw them.
What he cared about wasn't whether they went shopping or not, but what had happened to them during that time.
Ji Yuanchi's eyes flickered and changed for a moment, but she didn't speak. Pu Erge, who was standing next to her, said in time, "This is a long story. Yue... Senior Sister is a senior sister of the sect, and she has more important things to do. Let's go. It's been a long time since we siblings have been together. Let's go upstairs to our room, sit for a while, and have a few drinks."
As he spoke, Second Brother Pu walked ahead, leading Pu Tianyi to his room.
Here, everyone chooses to stay in a single room or a room shared with another person. Pu Erge didn't want to be disturbed, so he chose to stay alone.
The three siblings sat in the room, unusually devoid of joy, for reasons they didn't understand, even though they hadn't known each other for very long, especially Pu Tianyi.
Pu Tianyi and Xu Yuehuai had only known each other for a day or two, but for some reason, he remembered this special girl and she took up a place in his heart.
Moreover, he could tell from the beginning that Ji Yuanchi really liked Xu Yuehuai. His younger sister sometimes had poor judgment, but this time she was truly right. So he was also sincere towards Xu Yuehuai, especially in the months since he came here, there was hardly a day when he didn't miss them.
"Senior Sister Yue, she has her own ideas and disdains to associate with us, that's all." Ji Yuanchi finished speaking calmly and simply, her eyes cold. She didn't know how to face this matter, just as she didn't know how to look at Pu Tianyi's eyes after she said this.
Pu Tianyi frowned slightly and denied it, saying, "Impossible, Xu Yuehuai is definitely not that kind of person. What exactly happened?"
After he asked the question, the group fell silent, seemingly unwilling to talk. Pu Tianyi was annoyed and said, "Fine, so you're unwilling to talk about it now?"
Pu Erge couldn't stand the atmosphere. "Alright, Third Brother, is this really important? She's just someone you've known for two or three days. What's so important about her? I know you like her, but how long can your feelings last? Even if it's not what we're saying, so what? The fact is, she's not on our side right now."
