Lively (rewritten)
Dusk was gradually falling on the quiet courtyard.
Yun Qian truly disappeared for a hundred years.
For a cultivator's long life, a hundred years may be nothing more than a blink of an eye, but in each day when longing spreads, time is like a stretched thread, entangled with unbearable bitterness.
Lin Huaiyu was like this, as were Baichuan, Baiji, and Qin Wu.
After Yun Qian returned, these people would appear at Jinghe Courtyard every now and then, just to make sure she was there safely and take a look before they could leave with peace of mind.
As for Lin Huaiyu, he was unwilling to even step out of Jinghe Courtyard. Therefore, Yun Qian, who had been back for less than a day, could see these people almost every time she looked up.
She was badly injured, and every now and then Bai Chuan would take her wrist and carefully check her pulse. Then he would take out all kinds of spiritual medicines from his storage bag and ponder the prescription with a furrowed brow.
Qin Wu remained silent, standing not far away, giving her a deep look before leaving.
Every time Bai Ji came, he would always find something to chat with Yun Qian about, his eyes filled with undisguised concern and joy.
Eventually, Yun Qian became quite exasperated by their back-and-forth banter, so she simply said, "Just stay here, don't keep running back and forth."
Yun Qian's return seemed to have injected vitality into Zhihua. It ran happily around the courtyard once, then leaped with all its might, accurately stepping on Lin Huaiyu's foot before jumping contentedly into Yun Qian's arms and settling down in a comfortable position.
Lin Huaiyu was in a very good mood today, and only glanced at the "culprit" without bothering to argue with a cat.
However, these people were so immersed in the joy of regaining what they had lost that none of them thought to tell Zhang Qimo about Yun Qian's return.
Lin Huaiyu and his three disciples had all disappeared for an entire day, an unusual sight that naturally caught Qi Mo's attention. He first went to the jade platform, where Lin Huaiyu usually sat in a daze or meditated, but today it was deserted. He looked up at the mountaintop, and even the most diligent and hardworking Qin Wu was not practicing his sword? Bai Ji, due to his special status, always avoided him, so his absence wasn't surprising. But when he went to the alchemy room and found that even Bai Chuan was gone, Qi Mo was truly astonished.
Something is amiss. Where did these people go?
After a moment's thought, Qi Mo still sent a communication talisman to Lin Huaiyu. As the sect leader, he couldn't help but have to worry about things more.
When the communication talisman arrived, the group in Jinghe Courtyard were gathered together, discussing the dinner menu. After finally deciding on a few dishes, Lin Huaiyu leisurely looked at the talisman floating in the air and asked directly, "Senior Brother, would you like to join us for dinner?"
Qi Mo was clearly taken aback when he received the reply.
Ever since he emerged from the forbidden area behind the mountain and personally killed Yue Sheng, and Yun Qian left, these people had remained silent and distant. They had never had the inclination to gather together for a meal like this before. Moreover, the location was Jinghe Courtyard, which, if he remembered correctly, was the courtyard where Yun Qian had once lived.
Filled with doubt, Qi Mo eventually headed towards Jinghe Courtyard.
Hearing the knock, Yun Qian, who happened to be free, got up and went to answer the door. The wooden door slowly opened, revealing Qi Mo's inquiring figure outside the courtyard.
Yun Qian knew he was coming, so she wasn't surprised. She smiled naturally and bowed slightly as a sign of courtesy, saying, "Sect Leader."
This time, it was Qi Mo who was stunned.
If he remembers correctly, Yun Qian's soul should have been scattered a hundred years ago, right?
And who is the person standing in front of me right now?
Moreover! Yun Qian is the only disciple under Lin Huaiyu who, over the years, would properly perform the disciple's salute upon seeing him arrive!
Qi Mo stepped into the courtyard with a belly full of doubts, and the scene before him surprised him even more. Qin Wu, with a cold and stern face, was skillfully chopping vegetables in the small kitchen, Bai Chuan was focused on controlling the stove fire, Bai Ji was stirring the pot with his sleeves rolled up... and his junior brother Lin Huaiyu was arguing with a snow-white cat with a stern face.
This lively and bustling scene, brimming with the energy of everyday life, is something that has never been seen in the past century.
Qi Mo's gaze finally fell back on Yun Qian, and in that instant, he seemed to understand why Yun Qian's departure had caused such grief to these people.
It turns out that she was the most important link connecting these people to this vibrant world.
Yun Qian and Qi Mo were not very familiar with each other, but she still politely led him into the courtyard: "Sect Leader, please come in and sit down. The food will be ready in a little while."
Upon seeing Qi Mo, Lin Huaiyu temporarily ended her unspoken confrontation with Zhihua, got up, walked to the opposite side of the stone table, and sat down, curving her lips at him across the table.
This sudden smile gave Qi Mo goosebumps for no apparent reason.
Lin Huaiyu slowly took a sip of tea, then looked up at him and said, "I see you have a lot of questions on your mind. If you have any questions, just ask them."
