"My lady, you can't!"

"Sister Qiu, you can't do that!"

As soon as Qiu Zhihe finished speaking, Qin Gengyun and Fang Xue spoke out in opposition at the same time.

The two looked at each other, Qin Gengyun smiled apologetically at Fang Xue, and Fang Xue lowered her head and dared not look at him.

Qin Gengyun said to Qiu Zhihe, "My lady, I have already said that I will only love you in this life and will never marry a concubine. Xiaoxue and I are... Please stop saying those words out of anger."

He thought Qiu Zhihe said this out of jealousy because she saw him and Fang Xue being intimate these days.

Fang Xue also said: "Dad, Mom, Uncle Qin and I are innocent, you have misunderstood!"

Fang Chao and his wife looked at each other, and Fang Chao said to Fang Xue:

"Daughter, Daddy wants to ask you, who were you with at Fellow Daoist Qin's house these days?"

Fang Xue was startled, looked at Qin Gengyun, her face flushed, and answered honestly:

"I have been with Uncle Qin and Sister Su Su these days."

Mr. and Mrs. Fang Chao were stunned, and they could see shock in each other's eyes.

Is this all about serving your husband together with your concubine?

At this time, Liusu finally spoke up: "Uncle and aunt, you really misunderstood. Xiaoxue went crazy while practicing martial arts that day, and my uncle and I just happened to know a secret method of healing, which requires two people to perform together. My uncle and I have been healing Xiaoxue these days, so it's natural that we are together."

"I see."

Fang Chao breathed a sigh of relief, and the tense expression on his wife's face beside him also relaxed.

"Even if the three of us took off our clothes and soaked in the bathtub together, we are really innocent and didn't do anything!"

Liusu added another sentence.

"What?!" Fang Chao's eyes widened instantly, and he covered his chest and started coughing.

"Three, three people bathing together? How ridiculous..."

Fang Chao's wife rolled her eyes and fainted.

"My wife!"

"Mother!"

"Auntie, wake up, you really misunderstood!"

…

An hour later.

Fang Xue said goodbye to the Qin family with her parents.

The family of three was silent along the way, and finally Fang Chao couldn't help but speak:

"My daughter, although Fellow Daoist Qin has a high level of cultivation and is very successful in the art of alchemy, he already has a wife and concubines. Even if you give up your bright future and marry him, you can only be a concubine. Even Su Su's status is higher than yours. Don't let love blind you!"

Fang Xue was about to speak when she heard a giggle from the side. A fragrant breeze blew over and it turned out to be Si Minglan, who was wearing a double-breasted flowing flowered dress.

"Third Senior Sister."

"Senior Si."

The three members of the Fang family greeted them immediately. Si Minglan had regained her charming and seductive demeanor. She put her arm around Fang Xue's waist and said,

"Uncle Fang and Aunt Fang, rest assured. With me here, Qin Gengyun will not dare to treat Xiaoxue harshly. As long as Xiaoxue nods, I will go and talk to your Uncle Qin."

"Third Senior Sister!" Fang Xue said anxiously, "Uncle Qin and I are truly innocent!"

She was a simple person, not good at speaking, and she couldn't explain it clearly, and her face turned red.

Si Minglan smiled and said to Fang Chao and his wife, "Uncle Fang, Aunt Fang, I have something to say to my junior sister. I'll send her back later."

Fang Chao and his wife didn't dare to say anything more. They could only look at their daughter eagerly and say goodbye and leave.

After the two walked away, Si Minglan took Fang Xue's hand and returned to the inn where she was staying. Then she bowed to Fang Xue solemnly:

"Junior sister, if it weren't for you, I would have died a long time ago. I will always remember your life-saving grace!"

Fang Xue quickly held her up and said, "Third Senior Sister, you are too kind. You have treated me well. How can I sit back and watch you in trouble?"

But she couldn't stop him. Si Minglan bowed deeply and made a great gesture to Fang Xue:

"I also want to thank Junior Sister for saving my life but not asking me why I was injured. Junior Sister may seem honest and straightforward, but she is actually very well-behaved! Senior Sister is not as good as you."

"Third Senior Sister, don't say that. Hurry up and get up."

Fang Xue's face flushed red, and she was at a loss. Si Minglan then stood up and couldn't help but chuckled when she saw how frightened she was:

"Junior sister, you have a pure heart, yet you are so innocent and cute. If I were Qin Gengyun, I would definitely find a way to take you into my room!"

"Third Senior Sister, please stop making fun of me!" Fang Xue's neck turned red, and she said seriously:

"My only wish in this life is to seek the great way so that my father and mother can live forever with me!"

"It's not easy to be so filial." Si Minglan looked down at her, stroked her delicate cheek with her fingers, and chuckled:

"But have you ever thought about it? If you want to live forever, besides practicing hard, there is another shortcut. This path may allow you to reach the top earlier, so that your parents will not die before you can achieve enlightenment."

Fang Xue raised her head, her eyes gleaming, "Third Senior Sister, what can we do?"

Si Minglan said with a smile: "What else can we do? Of course we should find a Taoist partner and practice with him day and night! Your Uncle Qin is a good choice, do you want to give it a try?"

“…”

…

night.

Qinhe Garden.

bedroom.

"My lady, Susu said that your meridians are damaged. I made you some magical medicine soup with honey in it. Drink it while it's hot."

Qin Gengyun came in with the freshly cooked medicine soup and handed it to Qiu Zhihe with a smile.

Qiu Zhihe sat on the edge of the bed with her hands on her knees, her posture dignified and her expression indifferent.

He looked up at Qin Gengyun but said nothing.

Qin Gengyun felt uneasy, as his wife was indeed angry.

He sat beside Qiu Zhihe, scooped up some medicine with a spoon, and brought it to Qiu Zhihe's lips:

"Ma'am, I'll feed you."

Qiu Zhihe looked at him again and finally opened her little mouth. Qin Gengyun was overjoyed and gently put the spoon into his wife's mouth.

The bedroom was peaceful and cozy. Qin Gengyun fed Qiu Zhihe the medicine soup spoonful by spoonful, and then wiped her mouth with a handkerchief. Then he said:

"Madam, these past few days, Su Su, Si Minglan, and Fang Xue bathed with us out of helplessness. I was only concentrating on casting spells and never looked at them more than once. I never had any improper thoughts in my mind. Madam, please believe me!"

Qiu Zhihe was silent for a moment, then suddenly sighed and said slowly:

"Husband, I'm not angry. I want you to marry Fang Xue. I'm serious about it."

Qin Gengyun was stunned, "Madam..."

Qiu Zhihe said calmly: "If you want to join Zhenyang Sect in the future and marry Fang Xue, there will be someone in Zhenyang Sect to take care of you in the future."

Qin Gengyun hurriedly asked: "Madam, why can't you come with me into Zhenyang Sect?"

Qiu Zhihe shook her head and said, "My dear husband, if one day you and I are separated, please do not worry about it. You should concentrate on your cultivation. When you achieve enlightenment, perhaps we will be able to meet again."

If she separated from Qin Gengyun, it was because her cultivation was fully restored, Qiu Zhihe disappeared, and Xia Qinglian reappeared in the world to seek revenge on the three major sects.

By then, she would be doomed.

I said this at this moment just to give Qin Gengyun a goal so that he would not be sad and depressed after she left.

However, Qin Gengyun looked into her cold eyes and said seriously:

"My lady, I've said before that if you disappear one day, I will search for you for a hundred lifetimes, so don't lie to me!"

"But...ah?"

Qiu Zhihe could no longer speak because her lips were blocked by Qin Gengyun.

Outside the window, the night breeze is cool.

In the room, the spring breeze has started.
