Chapter 226 Can You Go Back Quickly?
Chapter 226 Can You Go Back Quickly?
Even though Xie Mingce was watching him, Ying Yong always found time to be dishonest. He kept a close eye on Qin Shuxue's movements, but it was actually not that annoying when he was in Chongyun Sect.
Chongyun Sect... I don't know when I can go back there. Qin Shuxue missed Chongyun Sect very much. She had no home since she came to this world. Chongyun Sect was like her home. No matter where she wanted to go back to, Chongyun Sect was the only place.
In this world, she only has the sect. It is not only the place where she practices, but also her home. Although she does not have an independent house and lives in a dormitory with everyone, the small courtyard hidden deep in the valley is surrounded by towering peaks. Every morning, the first ray of sunlight will gently caress the courtyard wall, as warm as a mother's hand. The courtyard is simply decorated, but it is full of traces of time and the care of the masters. She remembers the year her parents died. She was still a young girl. Her tears blurred the boundary between heaven and earth, but she never lost the warmth and support brought to her by the sect.
Daily practice and martial arts training became her life. In the morning, she would swing her sword in the martial arts field, releasing her strength and emotions; during the day, she would listen to the elders telling stories and wisdom of the sect in the study room, concentrating on understanding the truth; in the evening, she would share a simple and warm dinner with her fellow disciples, and seemed to forget the troubles of the world in the laughter and conversation.
Every brick and tile of the sect bears the footprints of her growth and the memories of her parents. Here, she learned tenacity and courage, independence and kindness. The masters cared about her growth like family, and the sisters walked together like close friends. In this small courtyard deep in the valley, she no longer felt lonely and helpless, because the sect had long become an indispensable part of her life, a warm home forever.
If only I could go back. Qin Shuxue sighed. The whole world was in turmoil, and she was no exception. Xie Mingce was her good master, who listened to her, admitted his mistakes, and didn't act like a master, but he was also strict with her. It was just that Xie Mingce respected Ju Jifeng, so he took her with him, and it felt like a mission. There was some intimacy, but not much.
Qin Shuxue wanted to stay with Hengli so much. Hengli was her real friend and real family. He was the only one who knew her identity and had always been devoted to her since she traveled through time. Hengli was like a brother, the kind who would definitely cry and send her off if she got married. Qin Shuxue couldn't help but want to get close to him.
But it was too painful to act this out. Heng Li was not only cold to her, he even felt a little disgusted with her. This was the only way to prevent Ying Yong from noticing anything. Although Qin Shuxue knew it was an act, she still felt a little uncomfortable.
Later, Ying Yong didn't bother her so much. After all, the two of them couldn't bear to see him idle. Ying Yong worked all the time. He was almost on the verge of collapse. He didn't even have time to breathe. Several times when he saw Qin Shuxue, he didn't say anything else. He just said, "Yun Qiong, can you give me a drink of water? I'm really thirsty."
What could Qin Shuxue do? She couldn't let the prince die of thirst, although after drinking the water he would always go ahead and say a few words to her.
Ying Yong seemed to be more tactful, but also didn't seem to be hiding anything. He asked Qin Shuxue: "Have you ever met anyone from the royal family before? Or some down-and-out noble?"
Qin Shuxue calmly replied: "What are you talking about? I have been a village kid since I was young, a rough man, and I have never seen such a big scene."
"Don't worry, a rough man can afford to go to a private school. Your family is definitely not just a simple village worker. You are definitely not an ordinary farmer." Ying Yong's smile was very oppressive. Qin Shuxue was surprised to find that Ying Yong always seemed silly and talkative in front of her. It turned out that he also had a majestic side in front of others. It was like interrogating, "Life is full of ups and downs. It's not surprising. But you don't have to hide it from me. If you don't want to tell me, I can only suspect that you have a relationship with the court."
Let's talk about chicken feathers. Although Qin Shuxue is an independent woman in the 21st century who has received new ideas and advanced education, the original owner is definitely not! The original owner only received some basic qualification tests and magic training in the village. She should know some words, but I'm afraid she doesn't have such a high level of education. If you make up something else for her, wouldn't it be a lie? What if Ying Yong can't find out and cut off her head?
Qin Shuxue pondered for a while, then said, "My family... although we are not nobles, we are farmers. It's just that I happened to see a scholar on the road, who stopped at my house and taught my parents some new ideas, so they decided to send me to school. Otherwise, how could a girl, especially a girl from a farmer's family, have a chance to succeed? I changed the name later, it wasn't originally called this name."
This is not a lie: the scholar on the road → is the village chief; he changed his name → it was indeed changed.
Ying Yong was skeptical, but when he saw Qin Shuxue's red eyes and tears falling, he began to babble like a little girl, "My parents are no longer alive, otherwise how could there be a child like me, and how could there be parents like my parents! My uncle is good to me, but he is just a rough man, and I can only do farm work. Poor me, I want to pass the imperial examination and repay my parents! Wuu ...
Ying Yong was shocked. This woman wanted to take the imperial examination? With her quality, if she really passed the exam, he would have to find out who accepted her bribe. But now he still pretended to comfort her: "Why don't you stay with me? I will give you a position, so that you can live a better life with your uncle. Hey, I have a question that I have never dared to ask. Your uncle looks so handsome and upright, why hasn't he found a woman to marry and is still single?"
"Ahem." Qin Shuxue choked on her saliva. How should she say this? However, Xie Mingce seemed to have a good relationship with his family. At his age, they didn't force him to get married, and he himself didn't want to get married. Why? Is Xie Mingce not interested in women? Qin Shuxue pondered for a long time, trying to deal with Ying Yong and believing in her own speculation. She raised her head and said loudly: "I tell you, you can't tell others. I told you because I think you are a good person - my uncle doesn't like women, he only likes men! Maybe he is very happy that you monks are here! But don't worry, we like you, but we will never marry above our station and will not embarrass you."
