Chapter 204: 1 Step Slow, Step Slow
Maybe it's an inexplicable intuition.
Xie Yunhe subconsciously took out a handkerchief, which Xiaotao had given him to wipe his sweat before he went out, but he hadn't had time to use it yet.
Sure enough, when Li Ye raised his head, crystal tears were already welling up in his eyes.
Combined with the bumps on his head and dirty clothes, he looks really pitiful and funny.
"You... that rumor, is it true?"
Li Ye tried to hold it in for a long time, but couldn't help sobbing and began to choke.
As miserable as a puppy caught in the rain.
Xie Yunhe pressed the handkerchief in his hand to the other person's face and wiped it roughly.
Although this was not the first time he was asked this question, he still patiently explained it.
"No, it's not true. I have something to do in the Qin Mansion."
Xie Yunhe spoke.
Li Ye held the bird egg in one hand and took the handkerchief with the other hand and wiped his face with it.
When he heard Xie Yunhe say this, his tears stopped immediately.
He sniffed his nose and soon stopped crying.
The face that had just been wrinkled into a bitter melon relaxed again.
"Ohhh, I knew it was fake."
Li Ye's voice regained its vitality.
You didn't act like you knew it was fake.
Xie Yunhe complained silently.
But knowing that the other party was like this and was concerned about his performance, Xie Yunhe felt warm in his heart.
Li Ye chattered about his experiences along the way.
Since he wanted to find Xie Yunhe, he bought someone else's invitation to the Qin Mansion at a high price.
Before Li Ye ventured into the martial arts world, he was a young master from a wealthy family, and money was the thing he had the most.
Therefore, he was able to appear inside the Qin Mansion.
At the end of the conversation, Li Ye invited Xie Yunhe to sit in his room, but Xie Yunhe wanted to stay in the Qin Mansion for a while longer, so he refused.
"Brother Ahe, where do you live?"
Just as the two were about to part, Li Ye suddenly asked.
Li Ye didn't say that another reason why he came all the way here was that he wanted to find Xie Yunhe's residence.
He was prepared to go home if he couldn't find anyone.
I didn't expect that I was so lucky to meet you halfway.
There was nothing to hide, so Xie Yunhe told Li Ye the address of his yard.
Li Ye's eyes rolled around, as if he suddenly thought of something, and he smiled foolishly.
"Okay, then I'll come and play with you in a while."
Li Ye looked at Xie Yunhe and said.
Xie Yunhe nodded.
Compared with others, Li Ye's relationship with himself is the simplest. There is no conflict of interest. We are not childhood sweethearts, partners, or brothers. The two of them met and made friends in the martial arts world.
But such a relationship is actually more pure, and Xie Yunhe does not dislike the enthusiastic Li Ye.
The two parted.
But Xie Yunhe did not leave here immediately.
Instead, he chose to walk towards the path ahead, and indeed found Wen Zhizhi in a courtyard not far away.
Seeing Wen Zhizhi calmly sipping tea there, Xie Yunhe's mouth twitched.
Sure enough it was her!
He just felt strange.
When he caught Li Ye.
Where does this inexplicable piano music and singing come from?
It turns out that this was just an impromptu performance by this girl.
"Good morning, Miss Wen."
Xie Yunhe greeted Wen Zhizhi.
"Good morning."
Wen Zhizhi looked at Xie Yunhe, without any guilt at all for secretly adding background music to someone else's music, and was very open and honest.
Xie Yunhe took out the small bag of silver from the lining of his clothes and handed it to Wen Zhizhi.
Yesterday, Xie Yunhe helped her deliver the manuscript to Gulan Bookstore. That was the reward for Wen Zhizhi's manuscript.
"Thank you, sister-in-law...thank you for your help, young master."
When Wen Zhizhi saw the silver, his eyes lit up.
She almost blurted out calling her sister-in-law, but she remembered that Xie Yunhe didn't seem to like this title very much, so she changed it to the more conventional Mr. Xie in time.
Wen Zhizhi took the small bag of silver and put it into his sleeve.
Xie Yunhe found that the light on Wen Zhizhi's face was a little dim.
If yesterday's light ball was quite dazzling, today's light ball looked much darker and not as bright, and we don't know why.
Xie Yunhe thought for a moment and asked tentatively:
"Is Miss Wen sick?"
Hearing this, Wen Zhizhi sighed and touched his face.
"Hey, is my expression so obvious already?"
It was a lucky coincidence that the light ball dimmed because of his bad complexion!
Xie Yunhe blinked, feeling that he had solved a mystery.
Are there differences in the brightness, thickness, etc. of light clusters?
Wen Zhizhi didn't know what was in Xie Yunhe's mind, but his words brought back Wen Zhizhi's sad memories.
As the daughter of the leader of the martial arts world, she seems to have no worries about food and clothing, but she is not without sad things.
Wen Zhizhi's tone was a little depressed.
"This is an old illness I was born with. I'm weak and it relapsed a bit yesterday. After treatment, I'm fine now."
"Sometimes, I really envy you people in the martial arts world. I also want to learn martial arts and venture into the martial arts world."
Faced with this question, Xie Yunhe didn't know what to say.
This is someone else's private matter.
Moreover, physical constitution and other things are determined at birth, brought from the womb, and cannot be changed by just talking about it.
Xie Yunhe had no choice but to say something to comfort her.
"Miss Wen is now well-known in the martial arts world thanks to her storybooks. Isn't this also a way for her to make her way in the martial arts world?"
Wen Zhizhi smiled, and the depression on his face immediately dissipated a lot.
"Thank you, Master. You are really good at talking."
He placed his hands on the guqin beside him and played a light tune.
My mood has obviously improved a lot.
Since the silver had already been given to Wen Zhizhi, Xie Yunhe took his leave first.
He wandered around the Qin Mansion and finally found the library that Senior Brother Wen mentioned.
When the guards here saw that the person coming was Xie Yunhe, they did not stop him from entering.
I don’t know if this place is not considered an important place in the Qin Mansion, or if Xie Yunhe’s identity as the future young lady played a role.
Xie Yunhe probably has both.
Because he saw quite a few people coming and going in the library, which meant that this should be a place in the Qin Mansion where people can enter and exit publicly.
Most of the people coming and going are dressed as doctors, and there are people from all three generations: old, middle-aged and young.
It seems that Mr. Qin has quite a few doctors in his house.
But isn't that a bit too much?
Xie Yunhe looked at the doctors who were reading seriously in the library and couldn't help feeling a little confused.
There are probably about 20 or 30 people here.
Generally speaking, a house with three or four doctors is considered a wealthy family.
The Qin family is a wealthy family among wealthy families. Even if they want to hire doctors, eight or nine doctors will be enough.
There are twenty or thirty doctors in the library, so how many doctors are there who are not here?
This is really strange.
Xie Yunhe muttered to himself and walked closer to the bookshelf.
He had wanted to go to the study before, but when he saw the number of guards there increasing from afar, he gave up.
It would be too conspicuous to go there during the day, and it would not be possible to go there after curfew at night. It seems that I can only go to the Qin Mansion's study between dusk and curfew to find out what's going on.
Xie Yunhe was silently planning his actions for the evening, while he randomly picked up a book from the bookshelf.
"Encyclopedia of Spiritual Herbs"?
Xie Yunhe flipped through the pages casually and stopped at one of them.
"Thunder Yuan Grass, a third-grade spiritual herb, formed after the Nascent Soul... has... effects."
I don't know why, but some of the content in this book seems to be smudged by ink, and the words are not clear.
Xie Yunhe frowned and looked at it, thinking that the book needed to be revamped.
He didn't understand what was written on it.
However, there is always a familiar feeling.
Xie Yunhe scratched his head, feeling as if he was about to grow a brain.
He put the "Encyclopedia of Spiritual Herbs" back into the bookshelf.
He pulled out another book from the side.
"Detailed Explanation of Sword Intent"?
Sword intent? The artistic conception within the sword?
Xie Yunhe understood it literally.
I didn't expect that there would be books related to swordsmen in the library.
Could this be related to my family affairs?
Xie Yunhe thought of the rumor that there was a secret room in the Qin Mansion that contained martial arts secrets.
My mind raced and I began to think.
Is it possible that the rumored martial arts secrets are not kept in the secret room, but outside?
In this case, the strict guard at the study is actually a covert measure?
In fact, the mystery lies in the library?
Thinking of this possibility, Xie Yunhe's heart tightened and he quickly opened the book to read.
The first page of "Detailed Explanation of Sword Intent" contains some of the author's tips for practicing sword. After reading it, Xie Yunhe always felt like he had seen it before.
Xie Yunhe turned to the second page.
The contents of the books became weird.
Hmm? Little Peach Blossom?
Could it be a clue? A key figure?
Xie Yunhe frowned and continued reading.
after awhile.
He slammed the book shut.
Her face was as red as a ripe apple.
The redness spread all the way from the neck to the ears.
How come there is such a thing in the Qin Mansion’s library?
Who put the pornographic book here?
It's also covered with the skin of "Detailed Explanation of Sword Intent"?
……
In the small palace.
Thanks to the argument between Taoist Chen and Sect Leader Li, everyone saw the scene where Li Ye was trying to take out a bird egg, which fell under the tree and was caught by Xie Yunhe who happened to be passing by.
To be honest, from the perspective of an observer, the picture on the light curtain is indeed quite beautiful.
There were two people under a big tree, leaves were flying, and there was faint music coming from them.
The venerable masters in the Spirit Transformation Stage felt as if they had accidentally entered some strange film set.
It was obvious that the ten people in the light curtain were in an illusion full of dangers. Some of them had realized that something was wrong and were investigating clues, some were honing their martial arts to deal with emergencies, and some were still trapped in the territory where their identities were and were trying every means to leave.
But what's going on with these two people?
The painting style doesn't fit in.
Especially Li Ye with a blushing face, wasn't he just caught by Xie Yunhe?
Why are you laughing so hard, so...
"He's smiling like he's worthless."
Chen Laodao gave a sharp evaluation.
"That's clearly a happy smile. The two children are so destined to be together."
Master Li did not agree with what Master Chen said.
She watched the interaction between the two people on the light screen and saw the joy that came from the heart when Li Ye faced Xie Yunhe.
I feel happy but also sad.
She actually empathized with the feelings of Zhuge Hall Master not long ago.
What a waste of time!
Taoist Chen looked at Chen Qixing who was still slowly packing his things and preparing to go to Qin Mansion in the light curtain, and felt very disappointed.
Others have already embraced it, and you are still packing your bags?
That kid named Li Ye is really a fool with good fortune.
He doesn't look very smart, but he is lucky enough that someone can catch him even if he falls from a tree.
And it happened to be Xie Yunhe.
Seeing Xie Yunhe wiping Li Ye's tears, Chen Laodao felt that love is really a matter of one step slow, all steps slow.
He's started touching his face!
The progress is too fast!
His eyes moved to the light screen on the side. Chen Qixing had just packed his bags and was at ease, without any sense of crisis.
Taoist Chen was simply unable to bear watching it.
But that doesn’t mean that everyone in the small palace cares so much about this matter.
Venerable Linghua’s focus is obviously different.
She looked at Wen Zhizhi's pale face and frowned.
"Why does Senior Sister Wen look so unhappy?"
Su Xiaorou, who was beside Venerable Linghua, spoke worriedly.
This just expressed what was in Venerable Linghua's heart.
It’s only been one night since we last met, why does Wei Zhizhi look so bad?
Compared to her normal complexion yesterday, Wen Zhizhi now looked like a piece of paper that would break with a poke.
He looked pale and extremely weak, like a frail willow in the wind, as if he was about to die.
The light curtain will not release everything. Yesterday, Wen Zhizhi's light curtain disappeared after she entered the bedroom.
It was around midnight at that time, and Venerable Linghua thought that the light curtain disappeared because Wen Zhizhi had fallen asleep.
Similar to Xie Yunhe, after he went to bed and closed his eyes to sleep, the light curtain disappeared for a while, and when it appeared again it was the sunshine of the next day.
Therefore, people outside feel that time passes too quickly in this illusion.
The others were pretty much the same.
Now it seems that something happened last night.
Look at what Wen Zhizhi and Xie Yunhe said, about the disease brought from the womb.
As Wen Zhizhi's master, Venerable Ling Hua knew very well that she was in very good health, so this should be caused by her illusory identity.
She is a little worried now, whether this will have any adverse effects on Wen Zhizhi's outer body.
After just one night, the whole person felt like being pulled out of threads. If this continued every night, Wen Zhizhi would die in the illusion within three days.
It wasn't just Venerable Ling Hua who noticed something was wrong with Wen Zhizhi.
Master Jingyuan also spoke in surprise.
"Wow, why is your disciple like this? Is there some kind of monster or beast in this illusion? But, that shouldn't be the case. This should be the mortal world where spiritual energy is relatively thin."
Master Jingyuan touched his chin and said:
"She's losing too much blood."
After such a long time, someone finally seriously discussed the situation in the illusion.
Venerable Linghua turned his head to look at Master Jingyuan beside him and asked:
"Master Jingyuan, how do you think this illusion should be broken?"
