Xu Yuehuai's eyes held a hint of annoyance as she looked at the man in front of her, who resembled a green tea b*tch. Qi Guze, having been scolded, felt even more aggrieved. He turned his head away, this time without sadness or distress in his eyes, only a surge of resolute courage! He would insist on staying by Xu Yuehuai's side for a long time without paying her any attention. Let this woman guess what he was really like.
Thinking this, Qi Guze truly ignored Xu Yuehuai. Seeing this, Xu Yuehuai also had her own ideas and simply left Qi Guze hanging. Later, when the waiter brought the dishes and saw that the atmosphere in the room was so cold that it could freeze fresh fruit, he shivered, turned around and left the room, muttering to himself as he walked away, "I thought this was a great job, but I didn't expect there to be two living devils living in there."
The waiter's complaints were outside the door, inaudible to normal customers. However, these two were not normal customers; their hearing was excellent, and they heard everything clearly. Yet, both of them maintained a composed expression, as if the complaints weren't directed at them at all, showing no sign of anything amiss.
Xu Yuehuai looked at the dish and nodded. It was still as delicious as ever. Qi Guze had no idea what she was thinking. He ate his meal without any appetite, staring absently at the sumptuous dishes in front of him, constantly glancing at Xu Yuehuai out of the corner of his eye.
Xu Yuehuai had noticed the man's little actions long ago, but she didn't have time to expose them. However, she soon realized that a meal without serving dishes lacked a certain soul. Xu Yuehuai's eyes darted around, and she then looked at Qi Guze, picking up a piece of food for him with her chopsticks. "This is delicious."
Just four words were enough to make Qi Guze's heart bloom. The corners of his mouth inevitably turned up, and his eyes held a hint of smugness, as if he had won. However, he did not show it very obviously, but only subtly.
He quickly returned to normal and began to keep putting food on Xu Yuehuai's plate. No matter what it was, as long as he thought it tasted good, he would put it on Xu Yuehuai's plate.
Her bowl was already full, even more so than when she was on the mountaintop.
Xu Yuehuai finally felt a bit better and began to enjoy the delicious food.
She wasn't always like this, but seeing Qi Guze acting so awkwardly beside her, she figured she might as well do something to coax him.
Qi Guze is easy to coax when he's angry, especially when he's having a little tantrum; she hadn't really noticed that before.
When the meal was over, Qi Guze began to forget why he had been angry in the first place and what he had done. He happily followed behind Xu Yuehuai, helping to carry things.
Shangguan Xi had already returned to her sect to avoid becoming a troublemaker. After returning, she couldn't help but sigh, "The saying 'out of sight, out of mind' is truly not a lie!"
Shangguan Qi was lying on the grass, looking quite content, when Fu Ziyi, who was passing by, saw him, walked over and looked him over carefully, and said cheekily, "Were you abandoned?"
Fu Ziyi saw the three of them go together. Now that Shangguan Xi has returned, the other two are still outside. Anyone with eyes can see that something is wrong.
Shangguan Xi glanced at him, chuckled, and said, "If you can't speak properly, then shut up. You can't expect anything good to come out of a dog's mouth."
The two were already quite familiar with each other. Shangguan Xi often went to the library, while the Fifth Elder, after having a disciple, found that the disciple was quite useful and began to sleep in late, often running into Fu Ziyi and Baili Xiuwen.
Fu Ziyi chuckled lightly, not angry at all. Instead, he sat next to Shangguan Xi, looking relaxed and carefree. All he could think about was Xu Yuehuai. He was slowly letting go of Xu Yuehuai. This was what a real man should do!
Fu Zi thought so too.
The two men lay on the grass, but their thoughts were completely different. Baili Xiuwen was in a tree not far from them, looking at the two men lying on the ground with a hint of disdain in his eyes.
He was still secretly thinking that Fu Ziyi was the one who had been lying in the tree with him before.
Xu Yuehuai's shopping process was quick, mainly because she had a very wealthy older brother with her. She only needed to carry things and didn't have to worry about the price, as someone would naturally pay for them.
Xu Yuehuai found the trip very enjoyable and returned home with a lot of things.
...
Under the sun and moon, the wind on the mountain peaks is always cooler and more desolate than in other places. If you stand at a higher place, it feels even more desolate and lonely.
The knocking was exceptionally clear on the deserted mountain peak; one could even hear the person outside breathing rapidly.
The person inside put on their clothes, opened the wooden door, and looked at the anxious person standing outside with a puzzled expression. "Oh no, he's gone!"
The sound carried by the wind to the ears of those inside the door. The night wind howled, constantly blowing into the space inside the door, as if everyone was waiting for such an opportunity to occupy all the space inside, waiting to draw all the warm air in the room into their embrace.
"What? Didn't I tell you to keep an eye on him? It'll only be half a day!" The elder put on his robe, took a step towards the door, and as the sky gradually darkened and the wind blew, his heart sank.
"I saw it, but did he have any of the talismans or anything you gave him? He vanished from my sight in the blink of an eye. I can't think of anything else besides talismans and magical artifacts." The man's voice was filled with anxiety as he began to replay the events in his mind, his eyes brimming with worry.
The Second Elder, who was still helping to tidy up the clothes, paused in his buttoning when he heard this. It was at this moment that a lot of cold wind rushed into his body, making his body, which had just warmed up, gradually become cold again.
"I gave... an invisibility talisman." The Second Elder's eyes were filled with regret. His hands fell limply to his sides, and in an instant he looked like a frail old man, his eyes filled with endless worry and fear.
"This thing can locate him. I've placed a curse on him." When the Second Elder mentioned the magical artifact, he suddenly thought of something and took out a box from his robes. The carvings on the box were exquisite, resembling some kind of mythical beast.
"Alright, I'll take this and go find it now. You should rest first." With that, the man took the Gu worm from the Second Elder and prepared to leave.
The Second Elder did not let go, and said with a determined look in his eyes, "I will go with you."
A sudden gust of wind blew away the words, preventing them from reaching the person's ears. However, from the shape of their mouths, the meaning could be roughly discerned: "No, your spiritual power has not yet recovered. Going down the mountain now would be tantamount to suicide! I absolutely disagree."
