Ever since she saw Qiu Zhihe at home yesterday, Fang Xue inexplicably felt that she was quite similar to her senior sister Ye Xiyue, whom she had always admired.
In addition, Qiu Zhihe was cool, beautiful, gentle and dignified, so Fang Xue felt a little closer to her.
Seeing Qiu Zhihe at this moment, Fang Xue felt a little melancholy.
How nice it would be if I really came here to thank Uncle Qin sincerely!
“That’s thoughtful.”
Hearing Fang Xue's words, Qiu Zhihe nodded in a flat voice, but she did say two more words than when facing other strangers.
"Fang Daoyou is so polite. Please take a seat, Susu!"
Qin Gengyun asked Fang Xue to sit down and called out to Liusu. Liusu pouted and reluctantly went into the kitchen to make a cup of tea.
"Thank you, sister!"
Fang Xue stood up quickly. She had heard from her father that Uncle Qin had a concubine besides Sister Qiu.
Seeing her today, although she is not as beautiful as Sister Qiu, she is also extremely beautiful and cannot be compared with ordinary female cultivators.
"You are too polite, fellow Daoist."
Hearing Fang Xue's sweet call of "sister", Liusu's expression looked better. She smiled and sat down next to Qin Gengyun, holding her chin and looking at Fang Xue.
Fang Xue was surprised. Ordinary concubines should have a very low status in the family and have no right to show up when their husbands receive guests, let alone sit next to their husbands so brazenly.
She turned her head to look at Sister Qiu again, but she turned and walked into the bedroom, as if she was deliberately avoiding him and giving her position to the concubine.
Sister Qiu is indeed dignified, virtuous, gentle and generous.
Fang Xue admired him in her heart and felt even closer to Qiu Zhihe.
At the same time, he became more resistant to Brother Luo's orders.
Even if she was beaten to death, she would never believe that the simple and low-key Uncle Qin and the gentle and kind Sister Qiu were the remnants of the Demon Sect.
"Fang Daoyou, when are you going to return to Zhenyang Sect?"
After chatting for a while, Qin Gengyun asked with a smile.
Fang Xue's heart moved, and she remembered Senior Brother Luo's instructions before she came here.
"You may have revealed intentionally or unintentionally that we will return to Zhenyang Sect soon."
Fang Xue knew that Senior Brother Luo wanted to use her to deceive Uncle Qin and Sister Qiu, and most likely he would not really leave, but would quietly wait in the narrow rain alley.
She didn't like lying, but this was an order from the inner sect steward, and she couldn't disobey it at all. She could only say against her will:
"Uncle Qin, we will return to Zhenyang Sect tomorrow."
Qin Gengyun nodded and sighed, "Actually, Uncle Fang and Auntie really want to spend a few more days with you."
When Fang Xue heard this, her eyes suddenly turned red and her voice became a little low:
"Uncle Qin is right. I also want to spend more time with my parents, but..."
She paused, then suddenly stood up and saluted Qin Gengyun:
"Uncle Qin, I don't know when I will return to Yunling Town next time. My father and mother have worked too hard for me and are aging prematurely. I am really unfilial. Can you please take care of them for me?"
After saying that, he took out a green brocade bag from his arms, which was filled with spiritual essence.
Qin Gengyun quickly stood up and returned the greeting, rejecting it with both hands:
"Friend Fang, since you call me uncle, I will naturally not ignore Uncle Fang and Aunt Fang. If they have any problems in the future, they can come to me!"
Seeing that Qin Gengyun was determined not to accept it, Fang Xue had no choice but to take it back. Her eyes turned red as she bowed again:
"Uncle Qin, I, Fang Xue, your unfilial daughter, would like to express my gratitude here!"
"Fang Daoyou, there is no need to do this!"
The two were being polite when Liusu quietly took the cup of rough tea on the table. After a moment, she made a new cup of fragrant tea and placed it in front of Fang Xue.
“This is good tea.”
Fang Xue was startled and quickly said, "Thank you, sister."
She hesitated for a moment, then remembered Senior Brother Luo's serious instructions. She could only put on a fake smile and asked curiously:
"By the way, I just smelled the fragrance of spiritual herbs. Is Uncle Qin a spiritual herb master?"
Qin Gengyun smiled and said, "I make pills at home, and I always have spiritual herbs at home, so there is the smell of spiritual herbs."
"Oh." Fang Xue looked towards the bedroom: "I want to talk to Sister Qiu, Uncle Qin, is it convenient?"
Senior Brother Luo instructed that both Qin Gengyun and Qiu Zhihe should be tested.
"I'll go ask."
Liusu got up and walked into the bedroom. After a moment, she came out and said:
"Miss has finished her training, Sister Fang, you can go in."
"Thank you, sister."
Fang Xue thanked him and began to feel surprised again. The concubine and the wife in Uncle Qin's family seemed to be quite close.
Uncle Qin looks so honest and simple, but he can actually make his wife and concubines live in harmony and get along with everyone. He really has good means.
When I walked into the bedroom, I saw Qiu Zhihe sitting upright on the edge of the bed with her hands on her knees. Her long black hair was tied up in a bun at the back of her head. She was wearing a floor-length skirt with floral patterns, which showed off her elegance and charm as a young woman.
Fang Xue was stunned and her heartbeat quickened slightly.
Who says only men are obsessed with beautiful women? When a woman reaches this level of beauty, both men and women will be attracted to her.
Sister Qiu and Senior Sister are both such women.
"Sister Qiu, did this disturb your practice?"
Fang Xue stood at the door, feeling a little nervous.
Qiu Zhihe shook her head slightly and asked, "Do you have anything to say?"
Fang Xue pulled at the hem of her clothes with both hands, thought for a moment, and then spoke:
"Sister Qiu, I am confused and want to ask you for advice."
Qiu Zhihe looked at her, and Fang Xue continued:
"I went to the monastery when I was young, and practiced hard day and night, just to seek immortality and make my parents shine in front of the neighbors and villagers."
"But if I really become an immortal, by that day my father and mother will be long gone. What is the point of me seeking the truth?"
This was also the doubt that had been lingering in Fang Xue's mind since Luo Zhenfeng forcibly took her away from home yesterday.
As a result, she was unable to concentrate on her practice over the past two days and made no progress.
In fact, if you have any doubts about cultivation, you should ask Senior Brother Luo, or the master who teaches in the outer sect, or even ask Ye Xiyue.
But Fang Xue inexplicably felt that Sister Qiu could give her the answer.
At this moment, after asking the question in her mind, she became more nervous and felt that her behavior was a little inexplicable.
Qiu Zhihe still sat in a dignified posture. After hearing her words, there was no expression on her face. She just said lightly:
"If you fail to seek the truth, your parents will still die of old age."
"If you seek immortality and have supernatural powers, you may be able to find a way to revive yourself."
Fang Xue was startled, and her clear eyes seemed to be trembling.
"Master said that the way of heaven is natural, and practitioners must not go against the way of heaven. Is it considered going against the way of heaven if you die and come back to life?"
Qiu Zhihe glanced at her and said impatiently:
"The so-called heaven's way is also determined by man. When you become an immortal and stronger than anyone else in the world, you can change the heaven's way."
Fang Xue opened her eyes and mouth wide, completely stunned.
She had never heard such words from her teachers at the Spiritual Academy or anyone in the Zhenyang Sect.
It's simply heresy and goes against the will of the world!
No wonder Senior Brother Luo suspected that Sister Qiu was a remnant of the Demonic Sect. It does sound like that.
But...Sister Qiu is right!
If I want to be filial to my parents forever, I naturally have to let them live forever.
Go against the Way of Heaven, change the Way of Heaven, become the Way of Heaven?
This, this sounds really rebellious and interesting!
