"You're here, yelling at me like that, who do you think you are!" The gatekeeper, who usually only read novels and paid no attention to real life, didn't recognize the person in front of him as He Qi, or even who He Qi really was.
Encountering such a person made He Qi's face turn red with anger.
Seeing the people below starting to fight, Aqing hesitated about whether to go down. Shi Mu glanced at her and then anxiously shook Aqing's arm, "Aqing! Come on, let's go and resolve this quickly, or what if they start fighting!"
This time, Aqing didn't argue and let Shi Mu pull her down the mountain.
He Qi recognized A Qing. Seeing that there was finally someone who could understand human speech, He Qi said with a hint of relief, "A Qing, you've finally arrived. I need to see Senior Sister. Tell them to make way."
He Qi greeted A Qing in a very familiar manner. The familiarity in his voice made Shi Mu look at A Qing with a look of doubt on her face, wondering if the two knew each other.
But Aqing's response was lukewarm, "The senior sister is not seeing any outsiders for the time being."
...
Xu Yuehuai was cultivating on the mountain peak, completely unaware of what was happening outside. She only realized what was happening when she went out to eat, but she didn't see the two of them.
Sometimes there are only one or two simple dishes on the table, and some are even only half-cooked.
Looking at the state of the kitchen, Xu Yuehuai couldn't help but worry that something might have happened to the two of them.
When she reached the foot of the mountain, she heard people arguing ahead. She walked over and looked at the man in front of her. He looked familiar, as if she had seen him somewhere before.
He Qi, panting, took a breath and said, "Senior Sister, you're really putting on airs. Look how long the four of us have been waiting for you at the door without giving us a single word. After A Qing and the other little mute came down, they started attacking us without any courtesy! Tell me how to handle this!"
Xu Yuehuai looked back and forth between the two, as if considering how much truth the other person was in saying.
When Shi Mu heard He Qi's description of her, she was stunned for a moment, and said angrily, "I'm not mute, you idiot!"
Shi Mu's retaliation, without any hesitation, stunned everyone present.
Xu Yuehuai coldly looked at the group and said, "Don't think I don't know what you're up to. Before I get angry, I advise you to leave here now, otherwise it won't be so easy for you to leave later."
Xu Yuehuai hadn't eaten, and her mood became irritable. Her voice was cold and intimidating, which startled the others.
He Qi originally intended to leave with his group, but as he was leaving, he suddenly remembered Song Xin's distressed expression. "Why are you targeting Song Xin! Just because you're the senior sister doesn't mean you can do whatever you want to the other disciples! She just doesn't know the rules. You could have just told her to correct her behavior next time, wouldn't that have been enough? Why make her feel so embarrassed!"
After causing such a ruckus for so long, He Qi finally got to the point. When Xu Yuehuai heard this familiar yet unfamiliar name, she first frowned and paused, not remembering who this person was.
Seeing this, Aqing whispered in Xu Yuehuai's ear, "It's that one who freely enters and leaves the sect and disregards the rules."
Some of the people that Xu Yuehuai singled out to make an example of were chosen by A Qing, so he was quite familiar with them.
Fu Ziyi strolled over, fanning himself with his fan. "Oh, what's going on here? It's so lively."
As Fu Ziyi spoke, he looked around and seemed to really be someone who had come to watch a play.
He Qi felt insulted when he saw that Xu Yuehuai didn't even know who Song Xin was, but he couldn't say it out loud.
After being reminded by Aqing, Xu Yuehuai suddenly realized what was going on and immediately said, "You came to me about this? Do you know that she has already come to me and told me, and I have already given her a reason?"
He Qi met Xu Yuehuai's eyes and for a moment forgot what he was going to say. He quickly looked away, completely forgetting that he had come to save face for Song Xin.
...
On the other side, Song Xin and her friends sat in the courtyard, leisurely drinking tea, occasionally listening to a few words of flattery from those around them, their smiles impossible to hide.
Yi Zhuo watched those people fawning over Song Xin and sneered inwardly, thinking that these people were incredibly stupid.
"Why hasn't He Qi come back yet? He's been gone for so long. Could it be that he didn't solve the problem and got himself into trouble?" the girl boldly speculated.
When discussing this topic, everyone first glanced at Song Xin's expression. Seeing that Song Xin didn't have any strange expressions or emotions, they felt relieved and chimed in, "I think so too. With his silly appearance, he likes our Senior Sister Song. When he heard that Senior Sister Song was in trouble, he wanted to help, but he couldn't even do it. He just wanted to get acquainted with her!"
"No matter how the He family compares, they can't possibly be compared to the Song family! If He Qi gets together with Senior Sister Song, then their ancestors' graves will be emitting auspicious smoke." When the girls saw them talking about He Qi, Song Xin didn't seem to want to stop them at all; in fact, she even had the same complicated emotions on her face.
Therefore, it was boldly assumed that Song Xin also disliked He Qi.
He Qi failed. Not only did he not resolve the issue, but he also received a punishment. In the end, he even got into a fight with Fu Ziyi. Fu Ziyi showed no mercy. After the fight, He Qi didn't bleed, but he felt immense pain.
He hesitated at the door, wondering whether to go in and tell Song Xin about it. His male pride was severely damaged at that moment. He had failed to help his beloved accomplish what she wanted to achieve, and instead, he had been lectured.
However, during that moment of hesitation, he heard the sound of discussion coming from the courtyard again, and this time the main subject of the discussion was himself.
He Qi listened attentively, wanting to hear how Song Xin would evaluate him, but after listening for a long time, all he heard were other people talking badly about him and about Song Xin.
Song Xin didn't say a word from beginning to end.
He Qi, filled with anger, turned and left. Not far away, Fu Ziyi watched his retreating figure and sneered, "A simp, a simp, in the end, he gets nothing."
He applied the phrase he had learned from the common people to He Qi, and he felt a strange sense of aptness in it.
Baili Xiuwen glanced at Fu Ziyi, neither agreeing nor disagreeing with these words.
