The next day.
early morning.
Qin Gengyun got up early. For more than ten days, he had to practice for two hours every night after double cultivation. This consumed a lot of energy, so he got up later than Qiu Zhihe every morning.
But today was different. He wanted to tell Qiu Zhihe the good news as soon as possible.
Qin Gengyun got up, put on his clothes, and sat on the edge of the bed. After waiting for a while, Qiu Zhihe slowly turned around, her apricot eyes still seemed to contain the haziness after waking up.
There was also a look of confusion on his round little face. He woke up after a while, hugged the quilt and sat up. He raised his hand to smooth his slightly messy hair, and his expression returned to calm:
"what you do?"
Qin Gengyun chuckled: "Fellow Daoist Qiu, I have reached the fourth level of Qi training!"
After saying that, he waited for Qiu Zhihe's face to show joy, and encouraged him with a few words, and even said a few more words, "Husband, you are awesome!" "Come on, husband!" That would be more comfortable.
But after waiting for a moment, I heard Qiu Zhihe say calmly:
"I'm going to get dressed."
"ah?"
Qin Gengyun was stunned for a moment, then said oh, stood up and walked into the kitchen.
There was a rustling sound of clothes rubbing against each other outside, and Qin Gengyun couldn't help but shout loudly toward the outhouse:
"Fellow Daoist Qiu, I have reached the fourth level of Qi training!"
There was still no response from outside. It took a while before Qiu Zhihe's calm voice sounded:
"alright."
Qin Gengyun walked out of the kitchen and his eyes lit up when he saw Qiu Zhihe actually put on the red embroidered leather jacket he bought for her, looking quite festive.
Only then did Qin Genggen realize that the embroidery on this bright red leather jacket was really shabby.
That is to say, Qiu Zhihe has a good appearance and a good figure to be able to bear this kind of rusticity. If she were an ordinary female cultivator, she would look like a village girl when she put it on.
No wonder Qiu Zhihe was so disgusted when he bought it that day.
Moreover, the position of the embroidery on this leather jacket is also very strange. There are two dragon spitting beads embroidered on the left and right sides of the chest, and a bit of bright red spits out from the white petals blooming around it.
These two spots of bright red happened to be at the top of the mountains and rivers on both sides, which made people's hearts itch.
Qiu Zhihe found the position where Qin Gengyun's eyes were focused, and his face turned cold:
"What are you looking at?"
"It's nothing, Fellow Daoist Qiu, you are so beautiful."
Qin Gengyun quickly looked away and asked with a smile: "I have reached the fourth level of Qi training, are you unhappy?"
Qiu Zhihe gave him a strange look: "It's just the Qi training period, what's there to be happy about?"
"Well......"
Qin Gengyun choked and said after a long time:
"Fellow Daoist Qiu reminds me that I still need to reach the fifth level of Qi training within half a year, otherwise Daoist Mo will be in danger."
"I won't buy groceries today. You can cook by yourself."
Qiu Zhihe sat on the edge of the bed, folded his arms and said coldly.
Qin Gengyun walked to the bed and sat down next to her.
Qiu Zhihe suddenly turned to look at him, her almond-shaped eyes filled with frost:
"Go away."
Qin Gengyun did not stand up as obediently as before, but seriously said to Qiu Zhihe:
"Fellow Daoist Qiu, regarding Fellow Daoist Mo, I have something to discuss with you."
Qiu Zhihe frowned, her almond-shaped eyes were filled with frost, and her long hair was windless: "What do you want to say?"
Qin Gengyun said: "Fellow Daoist Mo was forced by Zhou Kun to work harder these days to earn spiritual stones and improve his cultivation. Friend Daoist Mo helped me a lot in the past. Without her, I would have just moved to Yunling Town half a year ago." Then I couldn’t hold on any longer.”
"So, I want to help her."
Qin Gengyun really wanted to help Mo Xiaolan, both as a friend and because Mo Xiaolan had been so helpful to him.
However, you still have to tell your wife frankly about this kind of thing and ask for her support. If you go behind Qiu Zhihe's back, it will not only damage the trust between husband and wife, but also stain the honor of Daoist Mo.
"Repaying kindness is a matter of course."
After hearing Qin Gengyun's words, Qiu Zhihe's eyes softened slightly, but her voice was still cold:
"How do you want to help?"
Qin Gengyun said: "I have refined seventy high-quality first-grade elixirs these days. We keep twenty for ourselves for emergencies, and give fifty to fellow Taoist Mo to sell, so that she can make more money. Spiritual stone, but..."
Qin Gengyun paused and continued:
"If these elixirs are sold at the Alchemy Building, they should be sold at a higher price. If they are given to Fellow Daoist Mo, we will earn less spiritual stones. It is related to our family's income, so I want to ask your opinion."
Qiu Zhihe was stunned, her little mouth opened slightly, and she murmured:
"Home......"
"Yes, you and I are husband and wife, so naturally we are a family."
Qin Gengyun smiled and said: "Fellow Daoist Qiu, if you don't agree, then I will think of other ways to help Fellow Daoist Mo, but don't worry, no matter what method I use to help her, I will ask for your consent and will never lie."
"Can."
After Qiu Zhihe finished speaking, he stood up and walked quickly into the kitchen.
Seeing her promise, Qin Gengyun breathed a sigh of relief and then asked:
"Fellow Daoist Qiu, what are you doing?"
"Cooking porridge." came the answer from the kitchen.
Qin Gengyun asked curiously: "Fellow Daoist Qiu, didn't you say you wouldn't cook today?"
"I said I won't make breakfast! Why don't you leave?"
A cold voice came from the kitchen. Qin Gengyun smiled, stood up and said:
"Then I'll go out and buy breakfast. What do you want to eat?"
"Don't eat!"
Qin Gengyun shook his head and laughed. He went out to the alley and bought two bowls of beef noodles. He came back and shouted into the kitchen:
"Fellow Daoist Qiu, I bought noodles. Come out quickly, otherwise the noodles will become lumpy."
After a while, Qiu Zhihe finally came out of the kitchen, with a cold face, biting her lip, taking small steps, with the mountains and rivers trembling, and angrily walked to the table and sat down.
Just like a cool young woman who is having a bad temper with her husband.
Seeing Qin Gengyun looking at her with a smile, Qiu Zhihe was annoyed: "Don't look at it!"
"Okay, okay, don't look."
Qin Gengyun quickly agreed and stopped staring at her. Qiu Zhihe then buried his head in eating noodles.
After the two of them finished breakfast, Qin Gengyun took fifty pills and said to Qiu Zhihe:
"Fellow Daoist Qiu, I'm going out to talk to fellow Daoist Mo about the sale of elixirs. I'll be back soon."
Qiu Zhihe glanced at him: "Did you bring the talisman for you?"
Qin Gengyun smiled and patted his arms: "Don't worry, I will always carry what you gave me."
Qiu Zhihe stopped looking at him, sat on the bed and closed her eyes.
Qin Gengyun smiled, opened the door and went out.
After he left, Qiu Zhihe's body suddenly glowed with red light on the bed, and then turned into white light again.
Her long hair also changed colors, one moment bright red, another moment frosty white, and finally half fiery red and half snow white.
The scorching heat and cold coexisted strangely in the room, making the space around Qiu Zhihe a little blurry.
After a long time, Qiu Zhihe opened his eyes.
"I've reached the fourth level of Qi training."
...
Not long after Qin Gengyun went out, he was intercepted before he could find Mo Xiaolan.
It was Yang Fengshan who led two men from Lingdanfang and blocked Qin Gengyun outside Zhaiyu Lane, pointed at him and shouted:
"Qin Gengyun, I finally found you! Can't you think of it? What you did has been exposed!"
Qin Gengyun frowned slightly. Was the two hundred bags of Qingfeng Powder finally found out by the shop owner?
But Yang Fengshan sneered:
"Fellow Daoist Qin, you pretended to resign, but then secretly stole the bronze furnace and sold it. What you did was really unethical. The master of the workshop ordered me to take you back to Lingdan Workshop. You have a low cultivation level, so in order to avoid suffering, I will Stop resisting."
