But just when she was about to let go, Qingyun was caught off guard and subconsciously grabbed Yao Mengxun's delicate wrist, and kept murmuring:
"Mother, don't go, mother!"
"Daddy...Daddy...what's wrong with you? Don't want to die!"
"Sister Meng, Sister Meng, don't abandon me, Xiao Yun'er didn't lie to you!"
Yao Mengxun couldn't help but sigh softly because of such random thoughts, whether they were drunken words or babbled in sleep, and he thought:
"It seems that Xiaoyun'er's family is really going through a big change."
However, Qingyun's hand still refused to let go. Yao Mengxun could only caress his chest as if taking care of a child, and then, ignoring the smell of alcohol all over his body, he whispered softly in his ear:
"Xiao Yun'er, don't be sad, sleep peacefully."
Qingyun, who never expected to be intoxicated, actually slowly became quiet after hearing Yao Mengxun's warm words, and his hands gradually relaxed.
Seeing that he was gradually falling asleep again, Yao Mengxun kissed Qingyun lightly on his forehead, and then began to use needle and thread to embroider something on the lavender silk scarf.
Yao Mengxun seemed to be quite familiar with female celebrities, and he was done and put away his needlework in a moment. Then she gently stuffed the silk scarf into Qingyun's clothes and tidied it up for him, quietly waiting for Lei Jiang's return.
When did I become so concerned about this young man whom I had only known for half a year? Yao Mengxun couldn't help but asked himself again in his heart.
As the hot afternoon sun gradually began to turn dim, she held her cheek in one hand and tugged at the hem of her skirt with the other, thinking over and over again about this unanswered question.
Every time she thought about this overly handsome boy, her heart was always like a mess, and as soon as she had a clue, she would immediately face more problems.
To this day, she can no longer tell what her feelings are about Qingyun. She has never been so confused since she was a child.
"Why are you confused?"
As she sighed, Yao Mengxun's murmuring voice echoed in the empty room.
Even if you never understand the answers to the truths of heaven, such as right and wrong, good and evil, and cause and effect, you will at least know where the problem is.
But whenever she encounters something related to Qingyun, she will start to lose her mind.
For example, the last time he did not hesitate to use his life essence to save Qingyun, if there had been such a small mistake at that time, he might have been in the bliss of the West now.
She didn't regret it, but that didn't mean she wasn't afraid.
Another example is what happened with Zhuo Bufan at noon. She could have stopped Qingyun's nonsense. After all, she wanted to make friends with Zhuo Bufan to facilitate Qingyun's entry into the Fairy Sword Sect.
But for some reason, she just wanted to see if Qingyun would stop Zhuo Bufan from scorning her.
Thinking of this, Yao Mengxun couldn't help his pistils blooming, and said to himself again:
"I didn't save you in vain."
Last time she was in the pavilion of Qiyuan City, she thought about it all afternoon but had no clue. This was still the case in Yaoguang City this time. However, Yao Mengxun is a free and easy woman. Since she doesn’t understand, she simply doesn’t think about it too much and just silently says in her heart:
"It seems that after returning to Jingcitian, I have to ask Master for advice."
In less than an hour, Lei Jiang strode back to the pavilion. After sensing his return, Yao Mengxun gently closed the door and returned to his room with him.
"How about it? Uncle Lei."
At this time, Lei Jiang had already used his cultivation to dissipate the alcohol, and he could only be heard nodding and smiling:
"No problem. Jing Citian's identity jade tag played a big role. I also took care of one or two things. As long as this guy brings your identity jade tag to explain the situation tomorrow, there will naturally be someone there to receive him. I believe he will go there tomorrow. After arriving at the station, he should report his family name and he should be able to contact his uncle."
Hearing that Lei Jiang had made arrangements, Yao Mengxun said gratefully:
"Uncle Lei, thank you for your hard work on this journey. Just for Mengxun's whim, I took many detours and wasted so much effort. Mengxun thanks Uncle Lei in advance."
Lei Jiang quickly helped Yao Mengxun, who was saluting him, and said with a smile:
"No, Mengxun, since you call me Uncle Lei, then I have to fulfill my responsibilities as an uncle, not to mention that you are the daughter of Boss Yao. If you do this again, Uncle Lei will be angry."
Yao Mengxun didn't show any pretense, but after standing up, he still thanked Lei Jiang gently with gratitude in his eyes. Then the two of them came to Lei Jiang's room and sat down to chat. Lei Jiang said with emotion:
"Uncle Lei was born with an ugly face, and he has been disliked by others since he was a child. Fortunately, the old sect master did not give up and allowed me to serve Boss Yao in daily life. My cultivation skills were also secretly taught to me by Boss Yao. Calculating my age, I am older than him. He is more than ten years younger, and his cultivation is very different, but even now he still calls me Xiaojiang. For this kindness, Uncle Lei and I will never be able to repay him in this life."
Yao Mengxun still knew something about Lei Jiang. According to his father, Lei Jiang was even more ugly when he was young than he is now, so he was abandoned by his biological parents.
Later, by chance, she was met by her grandmother, the wife of the old sect leader. Seeing her poor life, she took him as a servant to serve the young Yao Shengtian's daily life.
Then Yao Shengtian taught him the magic skills of the Demon Sect and helped him practice. Finally, he overcame all objections and supported him to become one of the elders of the Demon Sect. He was responsible for external intelligence work and was also his most powerful confidant.
"Uncle Lei is out of touch when he says this. The contribution you have made to the Yao family and the Demon Sect is such that no one can repay you in return!"
Yao Mengxun understood that Lei Jiang was seriously injured because of the sect's investigation of information, and Xiu was still unable to make any progress to this day.
"Uncle Lei understands in his heart that although I cannot improve at my age and cultivation level, I can still do more for our sect. This is enough."
Lei Jiang smiled lightly and seemed to be open-minded, but the loneliness and helplessness in his eyes betrayed him deeply.
Although Yao Mengxun knew it, there was nothing he could do. He could only nod lightly, and then Lei Jiang smiled and said:
"Actually, Mengxun, when you were just born, Uncle Lei wanted to see you, but I was scared at the time! I was afraid that you would be frightened and cry when you saw my face. Who would have thought that Boss Yao would be the first Come to me and let me hug you. Don't mention how nervous I was at that time."
When he said this, Lei Jiang couldn't help but blush in a rare way, causing Yao Mengxun to raise the corner of his mouth, and then he continued:
"When I was trembling and hugging you, you were the first to smile at me. From that time on, I suddenly felt that even if my cultivation level could not be improved, life would not be so sad. At least I would have a little girl. Smile at me, that's actually pretty good. So I told Boss Yao that from now on, the safety of your little daughter will be in my hands! Now, you are almost eighteen years old."
"This is the first time Mengxun knows about this. My father has never told me. He only told me that Uncle Lei will protect you like a father. I didn't expect that I had such a relationship with Uncle Lei when I was young. .”
It was also the first time for Yao Mengxun to hear Lei Jiang talk about this past event. From what he just said, she could tell that Lei Jiang might have experienced some horrific tragedies when he was young.
Perhaps it was some pain in the past that made Lei Jiang develop such a personality that is cold on the outside and hot on the inside.
"Hahahaha, I think I finally sent this kid Qingyun to the Immortal Sword Sect, and I will go back to the Demon Sect with you soon. I no longer have to listen to those bald donkeys reciting sutras all day long. Uncle Lei is also very happy! By the way, Meng Xun, since everything has been settled, when should we leave?"
Hearing the word "leave", Yao Mengxun couldn't help but tremble slightly.
Yes, everyone knows that there is always a banquet in the world, but we have just eaten at the same table but have not drank together. This parting sounds so pale and feeble.
She leaned gently against the table, her beautiful eyes looking through the rising Zen fragrance, staring in the direction of Qingyun sleeping soundly next door for a long time without saying a word. Lei Jiang also fell silent at the right time, and everything in the room was silent.
After a while, Yao Mengxun calmly said:
"Let's go now, Uncle Lei."
"What? Are you leaving now?"
Lei Jiang didn't believe his ears, and thought to himself, didn't his lady have a crush on that silly boy? Why were you leaving in such a hurry? Just listen to Yao Mengxun calmly say:
"I don't have the wings of a colorful phoenix, but my heart is connected. I don't know if time and space can separate each other's fate. Mengxun also wants to try whether this separation will only become an eternal memory. Besides, I have a lot of thoughts. I haven’t sorted it out, there are a lot of things I haven’t figured out, and there are a lot of words I can’t say. Rather than being reluctant to leave, it’s better to keep a heart waiting for him to get together in the morning.”
Yao Mengxun's words always make Lei Jiang confused. In his mind, if the young lady is really interested in Qingyun, the worst he can do is kidnap him back.
Even if you don't want to force it, you can stay for a while before leaving. Why do you always say vague words and do confusing things?
"Have you really made your decision? That kid is still sleeping soundly. If he drank so much alcohol, he probably won't wake up until tomorrow. Do you really want to leave after he wakes up?"
At this time, Lei Jiang himself felt a little unwilling and asked again, while Yao Mengxun closed his eyes slightly after hearing the words and thought for a moment before saying:
"Uncle Lei, wait a moment. I'll leave a letter for him."
Lei Jiang nodded, went downstairs to get pens, ink, paper, inkstones and envelopes for her, and polished them for her, then wisely avoided them and waited outside the door.
He didn't know if it was his own misunderstanding, but he always felt that whenever his young lady and Qingyun were alone, the two of them would never spend a long time and couldn't say more than a few words. Moreover, in recent days, they seemed to be deliberately keeping some distance.
"I don't understand, I don't understand. Do you think all young people today are like this?"
Lei Jiang smiled bitterly in his heart.
After a while, Yao Mengxun came out of Lei Jiang's room with a thin letter, and then quietly entered Qingyun's room.
Looking deeply at the handsome young man who was sleeping soundly on the bed, Yao Mengxun realized that Qingyun was so beautiful, even more beautiful than when they first met.
With his eyes slightly closed, he still couldn't hide the heroic look between his brows. His slightly tapered chin didn't look mean at all, but gave people a faint impression of a knife-like perseverance.
It would be even better if he could be stronger, if God could give him a little more time.
"Xiaoyun'er, stay alive, Mengxun is waiting for you."
Yao Mengxun endured the infinite reluctance in his heart, closed his eyes tightly and forced himself not to look at Qingyun. He placed the letter on the table in the room, pressed it with an incense burner, and left the room.
