"Husband?"
Everyone was stunned, staring blankly at Qiu Zhihe who was leaning against the man.
Of course they understood the word husband, but when it came out of the saint's mouth, they didn't understand it.
Everyone in the Qinglian Sect knew that the Saint was extremely talented but had an extremely cold temperament.
Even though they were fellow disciples of the Qinglian Sect, the Saint had never shown the slightest intimacy towards that male disciple beyond the friendship between fellow disciples.
As for the men outside the Qinglian Sect, they couldn't even get within three feet of the Saint.
Even if someone could get close, they would all be turned into ashes or ice sculptures.
There is absolutely no man in the world who can be worthy of such a cold and arrogant saint.
This has become a consensus among the Qinglian Sect.
However, what is the current situation?
The cold and arrogant saint was now snuggling beside her husband like a well-behaved young lady.
She is so cute, gentle and obedient.
Is this still our saint?
"No, you must have used some means to coerce her!"
Xue Wen glared at Qin Gengyun, his spiritual power surging, but Qiu Zhihe glanced at him indifferently:
"Xue Wen, he is my husband. Whoever touches him will die."
Seeing that the saint became cold again, but just to protect that man, Xue Wen was stunned.
"how so?"
Xue Wu finally confirmed that this man named Qin Gengyun was really the husband of the Saint, and hurriedly bowed and said:
"Fellow Daoist Qin, I'm sorry. We all thought that Junior Sister Qiu would never get married. I didn't expect... I'm sorry."
Qin Gengyun returned the greeting to Xue Wu: "Fellow Daoist Xue, you are too polite. Zhihe told me on the way here that you are all her fellow disciples. From now on, we are family members."
"Who is your family?"
Xue Wen snorted coldly, his eyes full of hostility.
Qiu Zhihe frowned slightly, and Xue Wen lowered his head and dared not speak anymore.
Liu Xiaotang had known for a long time that Qiu Zhihe and Qin Gengyun were husband and wife, but she didn't care about it at all. She just followed Qiu Zhihe all the time, her bright eyes full of admiration.
At that moment, everyone surrounded Qiu Zhihe and walked into the main house. Qin Gengyun looked at his own house which he had not seen for a long time and couldn't help feeling emotional.
When I left Yunling Town and went to the Northern Wilderness, I thought I would be back soon.
However, I didn't expect that I had experienced so many twists and turns during this period. Looking back, I realized that it has been three years since I left Qin He Garden.
At this time Fang Chao brought the children from Yunzhu Mountain over. The children were very happy to see Qin Gengyun, and they surrounded him, shouting "Brother Qin".
When Qiu Zhihe first came to Yunzhu Mountain under the guise of "Nian Tang", the children didn't recognize her, so they were only close to Qin Gengyun.
Qiu Zhihe didn't care and nodded to Qin Gengyun. Qin Gengyun understood and knew that his wife wanted to discuss something with the disciples, so he took the children out to play.
Only the people from Qinglian Sect were left in the room. Xue Wen finally couldn't help asking:
"Saint, is that man really your husband?"
Qiu Zhihe glanced at him and said, "Yeah."
"But……"
Xue Wen was anxious: "Saint, how come you have a husband?"
Qiu Zhihe raised her eyebrows: "Why can't I have a husband?"
Xue Wen quickly said: "That's not what I meant. I just think that no man in this world is worthy of the Saint!"
Qiu Zhihe said: "Other men are naturally not worthy of her. Only my husband is worthy of her."
“…”
Xue Wen was speechless, and the others looked at each other in bewilderment.
What's going on with the saint's happy little woman look?
Are we crazy or is the saint crazy?
Qiu Zhihe said calmly: "Qin Gengyun will also join the Qinglian Sect in the future. From now on, when you see him, it will be the same as seeing me. His orders are my orders. Do you understand?"
Everyone looked at each other, and Xue Wu was the first to say, "Yes, sir!"
With him taking the lead, the others followed suit and bowed, only Xue Wen lowered his head and said nothing.
Qiu Zhihe stopped pestering him and got down to business:
"Six months later, the Feixian Ceremony will be held in West Imperial City. You will enter West Imperial City in advance and follow my instructions at that time."
"yes!"
Everyone obeyed the order.
Liu Xiaotang stood obediently aside, looking at Qiu Zhihe who was giving orders to a group of men with a burning gaze, the admiration in his eyes almost overflowing.
Afterwards Qiu Zhihe gave a few more instructions and everyone left the house. They saw Qin Gengyun leading a group of children playing games by the lotus pond.
Seeing him making the children giggle, Qiu Zhihe couldn't help but smile gently.
Xue Wen, who had been following her, stared at her blankly. He had never seen such a gentle smile on the saint's face.
I didn't expect that the first time I saw it, it was blooming for another man.
Xue Wen's eyes were red, and his heart seemed to be broken into countless pieces.
Xue Wu saw his brother's appearance and couldn't help but sigh secretly.
Liu Xiaotang obediently went to the kitchen to help Fang Chao cook. Soon, she brought out dishes and placed them in the pavilion next to the lotus pond.
Everyone sat around and ate.
There was naturally wine at the table, but the atmosphere was a little awkward. Everyone kept stealing glances at Qin Gengyun who was sitting with the saint.
It was Xue Wu who first raised his glass and said to Qin Gengyun: "Fellow Daoist Qin, I toast to you!"
Qin Gengyun also raised his glass and said with a smile: "Fellow Daoist Xue, please!"
The two of them clinked their glasses from a distance and drank it all in one gulp.
After a glass of wine, the awkward atmosphere eased a little, and others also toasted Qin Gengyun.
Qin Gengyun accepted all the invitations and then responded one by one.
After three rounds of drinks, the atmosphere at the table gradually became warmer.
Qiu Zhihe was not good at creating an atmosphere. She just sat quietly beside Qin Gengyun, picking up food for him and pouring wine for him from time to time. She looked like a well-behaved young wife accompanying her husband to a banquet.
It was the first time that everyone in the Qinglian Sect saw the cold and cruel saint being so gentle and considerate to a man, and they couldn't help but smack their lips in amazement.
In his heart, he had to accept the reality that the saint already had a husband.
After Xue Wu drank a few cups, he discussed the revival plan of Qinglian Sect with Qin Gengyun.
Only then did he realize that Qin Gengyun's ideas were surprisingly consistent with his own.
Both of them believed that rebuilding Qinglian Sect could not rely solely on military force, but that the three major sects should be destroyed in terms of reputation, so that Qinglian Sect could become the world's number one righteous sect and win the hearts of the people.
In this way, we will no longer be called the Demon Sect. This is the true reconstruction and revival.
"Hahaha, Brother Qin, it's a shame that we didn't meet earlier. Come on, let's have three more drinks!"
Xue Wu and Qin Gengyun got along better and better as they talked, and they drank three cups in a row.
During this time, Qiu Zhihe had been silently pouring wine for Qin Gengyun. She was virtuous and gentle. Xue Wen clenched his fists and suddenly stood up and said to Qin Gengyun:
"Fellow Daoist Qin, you have caught the eye of Junior Sister Qiu. I think you must have extraordinary cultivation. I wonder if you can teach me a thing or two?"
