Chapter 11 Lantern Festival (Part 3) Are we on bad terms?
Chapter 11 Lantern Festival (Part 3) Are we on bad terms?
Chao Jianxue tiptoed slightly and scooped up a lantern hanging in the air. There were two ducks swimming on the lantern, which looked very lifelike as the lantern rotated.
He said to Yu Wei, "Look at these two ducks. They are quite fat."
Yu Wei pursed his lips and said nothing. After a moment, he said, "Bai Mei Bi Yu, Senior Brother, this is Yuanyang."
Chao Jianxue turned the lantern again and said happily: "Mandarin ducks are also ducks."
He was the one who was willing to come and see the Qixi Lantern Festival, but he just wanted to join in the fun. Love and romance had never been something that Chao Jianxue was interested in.
I didn’t expect that…
He teased, "Junior Brother Yu Wei, I thought you didn't care whether they were mandarin ducks or not - ahem -"
He lowered his voice and pretended to be Yu Wei's tone: "'Of course I won't waste my energy on unimportant things.'"
Such pretentious tone really deserves a beating.
Yu Wei looked at his profile immersed in the candlelight. The latter was so amused that his eyes narrowed, his long feather eyelashes trembled constantly, and the drunken red on his face had not yet dissipated, like a rosy cloud, and the black pupils were also covered with water vapor.
He choked for a moment, and for the first time in his life, he felt that the eyesight cultivated by spiritual power was so redundant.
After Zhao Jianxue finished laughing, he saw that his expression was still like an ice sculpture, and he felt embarrassed, so he snorted coldly: "You are so boring."
After a while, Yu Wei slowly said: "I am ashamed of myself."
What's going on?
It was obviously a humble word, but why did Zhao Jianxue sound a little weird? There was really no humility on that face. After thinking about it, I felt that it was a weird thing.
After walking for a while, Yu Wei still had that holy face like a white lotus that was untainted by mud. Zhao Jianxue was eager to pounce on him, rub and press, and ravage him hard.
But the pair of eyes that greeted him were too shameless, so he suppressed his restlessness, and handed the lantern to him because his hands were sore from holding it.
The candied haws were indeed thrown away, and Yu Wei had nothing in his hands, but he did not take it.
He said to Chao Jianxue: "Brother, do you know that carrying a lantern together at the Qixi Lantern Festival is something that only people with very good relationships would do."
Chao Jianxue raised his eyebrows: "What kind of rule is this? I just want you to help take a piece and bring it back for me to collect. Why are you being so shy? Besides, you and I are brothers, don’t we have a good relationship?"
Of course not, after saying this, he gave himself a thumbs down in his heart.
While disgusting Yu Wei, he also disgusted himself.
The "very good relationship" that Yu Wei wanted to say was not just this meaning, but he didn't know why he couldn't say those two words, and he thought Chao Jianxue should know.
Yu Wei held out his hand with good temper, but Chao Jianxue immediately changed his mind: "Forget it, I'll take it myself, don't bother you."
It was really some weird talk about a very good relationship that made him regret it.
He took a few quick steps with the lantern in his pocket and went up the long bridge alone.
Yu Wei took a deep breath, and his heart seemed to be scratched by a cat. He needed a Qingxin Jue to eliminate the itch.
Chao Jianxue was like a cat, teasing him from time to time, but retracting her claws when his heart wavered, and sweeping her tail across his palm when she left. She
was obviously an insignificant person, but because of an unfounded guess, she put herself in an embarrassing situation.
The sky above the long bridge was a sea of floating lights. Chao Jianxue turned back with the lantern, and was extremely arrogant: "Junior brother, why don't you walk faster?"
Yu Wei walked up with the holy fairy face that could not see any other expression.
When he arrived at the moon-viewing platform, the moon was already in the middle of the sky, and a person was sitting alone on the platform playing the piano.
Chao Jianxue was shocked by the scene in front of him. He saw the crescent moon like a hook, occupying most of his sight. The pine wind on the side was like the sound of the sea, and the man's sleeves were blown away with the sound of the piano.
He couldn't help but walk slower, and the fatigue he had accumulated along the way was also soothed by the sound of the piano, and he felt the sadness.
Mu Yuan was sitting next to the man admiring the moon. Hearing the footsteps, he turned around and said, "Come here." Chao
Jianxue stepped forward, but he felt timid as he approached.
"Father."
Yu Wei followed behind him and saw that the person playing the piano was Qishan Zhenjun. It was very surprising to hear his timid voice.
Qishan stopped playing the piano and smiled at Chao Jianxue, "I heard that your soul incompleteness has been cured, so I came to see you."
Yu Wei's expression did not change, but he was surprised that there was such a thing.
No wonder Chao Jianxue changed so much.
Chao Jianxue knew that Elder Lin had told his master about this matter, and licked his lips and said, "It's a blessing in disguise, haha."
"Come closer." Qishan waved at him, and his fingers were filled with spiritual light, and pointed to his forehead.
Instantly, a stinging pain flashed across the spiritual platform of Jianxue, but he just frowned and didn't move obediently, and the stinging pain passed.
Qishan retracted his hand and nodded, "Good. From now on, I can rest assured."
Mu Yuan smiled to his friend, "I thought Jianxue would never make any progress in the immortal path in this life, but now it's different. As a father, shouldn't you also pay more attention?"
"Everyone has their own expertise. I can't teach. Jianxue has already worshipped you as his master, so you should teach him!"
"Of course I will teach him, but he was so impressive in the competition a few days ago, so we have to be prepared."
Qishan knew his intention and laughed loudly, "I've been prepared for it!"
He poured out a bunch of spiritual tools from the spiritual bag without blinking, and the spiritual light on the viewing platform suddenly became brighter, even overshadowing the moonlight. Even
though Yu Wei, who never showed his emotions, opened his eyes wide and took a step back in surprise.
Zhao Jianxue stared at the flash of spiritual light in front of her eyes, biting her knuckles to prevent herself from making an inexperienced sound.
Dad is throwing money around again.
Qishan waved his hand and said, "These are all small things collected over the past hundred years. I don't need them, so I've prepared them all for you."
As the master of a mountain in Wuwei Sect, Mu Yuan would be lying if he said he wasn't jealous of so many spiritual treasures. He shook his head and said, "Brother, you really treat Jianxue like a daughter."
Qishan touched the top of Chao Jianxue's head and said, "This is your only child."
What he said sounded so much like a real father that Chao Jianxue choked up and felt sore in her eyes. She couldn't help but reach out and hug Qishan, "Thank you, father."
With such an adoptive father, if Chao Jianxue were the original owner, she would have been as domineering as a crab in Wuwei Sect.
On the other side, Mu Yuan let the two of them have a deep father-son relationship, and said to Yu Wei kindly: "I asked you to come here because the sect leader predicted that an immortal weapon will be born in Shuiyue Valley soon. When the time comes, the secret realm will be opened. You can go and see if there is a chance. I will be in seclusion in a few days, so I told you in advance."
Yu Wei nodded: "It is rumored that Shuiyue Valley is the place where the True Immortal Fuheng ascended to heaven. Is the immortal weapon related to the True Immortal?"
Mu Yuan smiled and said: "Yes, you are familiar with books and have a good memory. I will be relieved to have you go with me. Just remember one thing, the immortal weapon is not an ordinary spiritual object. It cannot be obtained by force. It depends on chance."
"Are you going with me?"
Mu Yuan shook his head: "Unfortunately, the secret realm of Shuiyue Valley has a cultivation suppression, and those above the Nascent Soul stage are not allowed to enter."
Chao Jianxue had been pricked up her ears. How could she miss the chance to see the magic weapon? She poked her head out and said, "Master, I want to go too..."
Mu Yuan objected, "You can't guarantee your life and death in the secret realm. Don't mess around!"
Chao Jianxue knew that she was as weak as a chicken, so she retracted her head.
Qishan said, "With the magic treasure I gave you, you can't die no matter how bad it is. Who doesn't go through life and death when practicing?"
Mu Yuan scolded, "Brother, you are so arrogant. With his current cultivation level, won't he turn into ashes immediately if he rolls down?"
"What about the many life-saving magic weapons?"
"Those magic weapons are external objects. How can he rely on magic weapons blindly? Moreover, many magic weapons can only be used with sufficient spiritual power. Once the secret realm is opened, not only human cultivators, but also demon cultivators will come to share a share. There are many variables."
Chao Jianxue looked at his master, then at Qishan, and had the urge to say, "Mom and Dad, stop arguing."
He understood that if his cultivation level and spiritual power were not enough, he would be killed as soon as he landed.
And the Tianyao Sect, which he had just offended, would definitely not miss this secret realm.
Chao Jianxue knew the principle of retreating when faced with difficulties. He thought of the serious matter he had come to Mu Yuan for, and said, "Master, I want to learn swordsmanship."
Mu Yuan observed that his spiritual power was running smoothly at this time, so he could start learning.
"The Nine Swords of Wuwei go from easy to difficult. When you have advanced to the late stage of foundation building, you can start learning. Before that, you must not slack off in your morning and evening exercises, and you need to make up for the lessons you missed in the past. Have you thought about it?"
Chao Jianxue was a little disappointed. He thought he could get started right away, but he didn't expect to have to wait again. But he made up his mind. If he wanted to practice, he had to face the difficulties. So he said simply, "I have thought about it!"
Compared with the past, Chao Jianxue can be said to have been reborn, and Mu Yuan felt relieved.
He looked at Qishan, who didn't say anything, but just looked back at the sickle-like crescent moon, raised his hand and flicked it, and the stringed harp returned to his sleeve.
Mu Yuan said, "It's almost three o'clock in the morning, why don't you stay overnight?"
Qishan smiled and said, "Great! We haven't had a drink together for many years, let's drink until we're drunk!"
Walking out of the moon-viewing platform, the lantern that had just fallen on the stone steps was still there, the candlelight was dim, reflecting the grass color and fine stamens on the stone steps.
"What is this?"
Chao Jianxue hurriedly said, "I just took it at the lantern festival."
Mu Yuan counted on his fingers and suddenly realized, "It turns out to be the Qixi Festival again."
He asked Qishan with a smile, "No wonder, I don't know when it started, senior brother always plays the piano facing the moon on the Qixi Festival, is there someone he likes?"
Qishan said, "Mind your own business."
"You and I are not from the ruthless way, so there has been no result for so many years, is it possible that the flower is interested but the water is ruthless?"
"Haha."
Chao Jianxue was very interested in such gossip, but his master's residence was up high, so he had to leave with hatred.
He was in a very good mood, and jumped down the stone steps in two steps. Unexpectedly, it was late at night and the dew was heavy. The moss under his feet was slippery, and he slipped and fell on his back into Yu Wei's arms behind him.
Fortunately, his butt did not touch the ground. He just came to his senses and bumped into Yu Wei's face, which was very embarrassing.
What kind of clumsy old romance heroine fall was this?
"Brother," Yu Wei's face was facing the moonlight, and there was a mischievous smile in his eyes, "I told you that alcohol is not good for cultivation."
Chao Jianxue felt his face hot all of a sudden, and quickly adjusted his center of gravity and stood up. The duck lantern had already rolled down the stone steps, and the candlelight was dim and gradually extinguished.
The only light source was the moonlight hanging high above Yu Wei's head.
"Oh." Chao Jianxue sighed, "It's not a good year."
But Yu Wei was right about one thing. The power of the cup of wind flower dew was a counterattack. He really felt that the world around him began to turn, and his heart was beating particularly hard.
The blush on his face that had faded reappeared, and to others it looked like a spring flower. He was afraid that he would roll down the mountain if he walked any further, so he stepped into the flowers by the roadside, spread his hands and lay down.
"I'll sleep here, you go back, don't worry about me."
He was so spontaneous by nature, and he made up his mind that he would not be embarrassed even if he was found tomorrow.
After hearing this, Yu Wei paused where he was, turned around and walked down the mountain.
The night wind was rustling, and Chao Jianxue couldn't help coughing.
The footsteps were approaching, and Yu Wei went back and pulled him up from the ground.
Chao Jianxue frowned: "What are you doing?"
Yu Wei took a long step, put his arm around his shoulders and took him away: "If my senior brother gets sick again, it will be my negligence."
Chao Jianxue thought in a daze, that's fine.
"Hey, my duck lantern!" he shouted.
Yu Wei raised his hand and took the object through the air, holding the lantern in one hand and leading him with the other hand, his steps were still light, and Chao Jianxue was stunned.
