Chapter 106: What is love?
On the seventh day of March, the weather was fine.
Just after noon, Qingshi left the north gate of the college and went straight to an overgrown desert beach thirty miles north of Chaoge City.
From a distance, I saw a bald man in black clothes and an open robe, standing upright and imposing as a mountain. Qingshi thought to himself: Fortunately, Duan Tu seemed to just want to beat himself up to vent his anger, not murderous intent.
Flying up to Duan Wutian, before Qingshi could say anything, Duan Wutian flew forward and punched him with a big fist. Qingshi quickly used the fire fist to resist, but Duan Wutian didn't say anything, and punched with a dark face. The punches were just violent hits, Qingshi resisted and asked: "Brother Qi! You have to tell me why you hit me!"
"You have changed your mind when you see something new! You like the new and hate the old! You value sex over friends!" Duan Wutian roared, "You should be beaten!"
"Brother Seven!" Qingshi seemed to be unable to resist, and stepped back and said, "Who do you mean by new? Who do you mean by old? Which one does this color refer to? Which one do you mean by friend? You have to make it clear to me! "
"Stop pretending to be stupid!" Duan Wutian shouted while beating his hands, "The new beauty is naturally Yunli, and the old friend is naturally my sister Xiaoyu! Then Yunli has only been in the academy for a month, you I caught up with her and became a couple. Are you worthy of Xiaoyu's devotion to you over the years? I'll fight her!"
Qingshi thought to himself that this was indeed the case, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
In fact, Qingshi was somewhat aware of Duan Xiaoyu and Shen Binghong's intention to get close to him. It was just that when he first met them, they were only fourteen or fifteen years old. Naturally, he regarded them as little sisters, and he had been treating them all these years. So true.
In recent years, although Qingshi sometimes feels that they seem to be interested in him, Qingshi doesn't want to think too much about it. Now that he hears Duan Wutian say it so straightforwardly, Xiaoyu's vague expressions and words towards him in the past have become clearer. Realizing this, she couldn't help but feel guilty for letting her down.
Qingshi was stunned, Duan Wutian punched Qingshi in the ribs, and then kicked Qingshi in the chest, sending him flying more than three feet away.
Qingshi clutched his chest in pain and staggered to his feet. Duan Wutian's fist had already reached him again. Qingshi stretched his left arm in front of his eyes and only said: "Don't slap me in the face!" before he was punched out again and fell to the ground.
Duan Wutian was also stunned, and then shouted: "You bastard, you still want to keep your pretty face and continue to pick up girls? I have to beat you to death today!" After saying that, he rushed up and beat you hard again, Qingshi, however, protected his face and allowed him to beat him.
"Stop!" With a shout, a gray figure rushed over like lightning, blocking and pushing, pushing Duan Wutian three steps away and protecting Qingshi behind him, but it was Shen Feiyun.
Then another figure flew over and landed next to Qingshi. It was Duan Xiaoyu. Xiaoyu didn't say anything. She just shed tears and supported Qingshi, who was grinning in pain and bending over to cover her chest. However, she raised her head and glared at Duan Wu fiercely. A glance at the sky.
When Duan Wutian saw Duan Xiaoyu like this, he could only put down his fist and muttered in a low voice: "It's just a few punches, the skin is not broken!"
Ever since Shen Beichen and Duan Shihe simultaneously announced Shen Binghong and Duan Xiaoyu as the first heirs of their respective families a year ago, Duan Xiaoyu's family status has surpassed that of Duan Wutian, and even all his uncles and grandfathers. When Duan Wutian saw Duan Xiaoyu, he looked a little guilty.
Duan Xiaoyu didn't say anything at first but just checked Qingshi's injuries. She found that Qingshi's ribs were broken and blood leaked from the corners of his mouth. It was as simple as 'the skin was not broken at all'.
After listening to Duan Wutian's words, Duan Xiaoyu turned around and shouted: "You don't listen to me, you hurt people indiscriminately and you still dare to make excuses. I want to tell the ancestor. You can go to the ancestor He to explain yourself later!"
"Sister!" Duan Wutian said quickly: "Good girl, don't be angry. If you are angry, just give Brother Qi a good beating. Don't tell the ancestor, okay?"
"Okay, okay!" Qingshi straightened up and smiled at Xiaoyu, "Isn't it just a little skin injury? I just tried to see if Brother Qi's fist is strong, and I deliberately let him take a few moves. If I really want to beat him, he is no match for me. of!"
"Oops!" Duan Wutian originally regretted that he had struck too harshly, but now he couldn't help but get furious after hearing what Qingshi said, "Listen, listen, this kid is just looking for a beating when he has nothing to do. I'll beat him again later." Have a meal." He rolled up his sleeves and stepped forward.
Shen Feiyun quickly stopped and shouted: "Old Qi, you are just too impulsive. Stop it first! Listen to what Qingshi says."
"That's enough!" Xiaoyu yelled at Duan Wutian, turned around and said to Qingshi: "Brother Qingshi, I'm sorry! I..." But she choked up and couldn't speak.
"Okay, okay!" Qingshi's smile did not change, "Seventh brother and I are competing in martial arts, what are you doing! I'm fine!"
Xiaoyu suddenly raised her arms to wipe away her tears, raised her head and took a deep breath. She mustered up the courage to look at Qingshi and said, "Brother Qingshi, stop pretending. We all know why Brother Qi hit you. Today in front of Feiyun In front of Brother Qi, tell me, have you ever liked me?"
"This...sigh!" After a while, Qingshi let out a long sigh, suppressed his smile and said slowly, "Brother Qi, you just said that I like the new and dislike the old, but you are wrong. Yunli and I We didn’t just know each other for a month. In terms of time, Yunli and I met much earlier than Xiaoyu. You said that I value sex over friends, but when Yunli and I depended on each other for life and death and worked together to deal with powerful enemies, even Later, when we ran away together and lived together in the cold darkness, I never really saw her face, and I didn’t even know whether she was a boy or a girl!"
Qingshi turned to look at the surprised Xiaoyu, smiled slightly and said: "Sister Xiaoyu, you are beautiful, kind, sincere and straightforward. How can I not like you? However, my love for you is purely a brother's love for a sister. Just like Brother Qi and Brother Feiyun like you. Yunli and I have been part of each other's lives for a long time. We separated a few years ago, and it was not until recently that we met again, at the moment we met again Since then, I have known that we will never be separated again in our lifetimes, and there is absolutely no room between us for a third person, do you understand?"
Duan Wutian, Chen Feiyun and even Xiaoyu did not expect that there would be such a situation between Qingshi and Yunli. Although Qingshi did not explain the specific matter in detail, their origin and current relationship were clearly explained. For a moment, the four people were silent.
After a long time, Xiaoyu raised her head, tried her best to squeeze out a smile and said: "Brother Qingshi, I understand! I apologize to you on behalf of Brother Qi. I will let the ancestor punish him severely, and I will not bother you again in the future. ”
"This..." Qingshi said with a wry smile, "This is not the result I want."
"Yes!" A gentle voice sounded, "Sister Xiaoyu, you don't really understand!"
A figure floated down gently from mid-air. It was Yunli who came. She was wearing a snow-white dress and a light yellow dress. Her hair was naturally bent into big waves and draped behind her shoulders. Her beautiful star There was a hint of sadness in her eyes, and her graceful grace that floated downwards stunned a few people, so much so that they didn't even realize how she could fly down from mid-air. They seemed to think that since she was a fairy, she could fly naturally.
Yun Li glanced at a few people and said calmly: "In this world, Qingshi and I both have no parents, no brothers, sisters, and no family. We only have each other! But Qingshi wants to have friends, and he cherishes you very much." Friendship, he was beaten deliberately out of guilt for Xiaoyu, and if Brother Qi is punished for this, it is not what he wants to see."
Yunli walked up to Xiaoyu, gently held her hand, looked at her and said, "Qingshi doesn't want to see you sad. He doesn't want you to run away or cry behind his back. You are a brave person." Girl, you should be strong to face these. Believe me, Qingshi has experienced far more love, hatred and hatred than you now, and it is far more painful than you! Don't blame Qingshi, blame me if you want! We all hope you can Come out and be happy, I believe you can do it!"
Duan Xiaoyu felt her mood slowly calm down and couldn't help but nodded gently. She couldn't feel any jealousy towards Yunli.
"Xiaoyu, Brother Qi, Brother Feiyun," Qingshi said slowly, "When I felt the most lonely in this world, you gave me love and friendship. I care about and am very grateful. This is very important to me. I hope our friendship doesn’t get affected by anything.”
Shen Feiyun said lightly: "Qingshi, you will always be my brother."
Duan Wutian said: "I beat you to vent my anger on Xiaoyu, but when I beat you, I still regarded you as my brother. There is no right or wrong in emotional matters. I understand this. But this matter was my fault. Forget it, I owe you, brother!"
"Thank you two brothers," Qingshi said with a slight smile.
Looking at Xiaoyu, who was bowing his head in silence, Qingshi sighed and said: "As the saying goes, 'Nine out of ten people are unhappy in life.' Fate is bad, and fate plays tricks on people! Just like Yunli and I, we were both different before we met. We have gone through all kinds of hardships, and after getting to know each other, we have experienced hardships and life and death together, and our future is even more dangerous, and we are destined to have to face evil and powerful enemies. The road ahead is rugged, but those who can accompany us in our journey, It’s just us...Li’er! Let’s go!”
Just when Duan Xiaoyu was crying because Duan Wutian injured Qingshi, Shen Binghong was also crying for Qingshi. She didn't find anyone to cry to, and hid alone in the dormitory of Huaguoshan.
Recalling every detail of her interactions with Qingshi over the years, Shen Binghong didn't know when her heart began to be occupied by Qingshi.
From time to time, she would long for the beautiful life with Qingshi in the future. When she thought of Beichen's ancestor saying that he would marry her to Qingshi if Qingshi really had all five elements of Qi, she felt an indescribable sweetness.
However, it has been confirmed that Qingshi's Five Elements Qi is complete, but Patriarch Beichen did not mention this matter again. She vaguely guessed what Patriarch Beichen meant, but was too embarrassed to ask directly.
With her intelligence, she naturally thought that it might be related to the Duan family and Xiaoyu. After all, Xiaoyu's feelings for Qingshi were almost written on her face. Except for Qingshi, no one around her could not see it.
Every time she thought of Xiaoyu, she frowned and didn't know what to do. Will Brother Qingshi choose Xiaoyu or himself? Sometimes she thinks it will be herself, but sometimes she is not so confident.
Maybe it's not unacceptable for three people to be together. My father has three aunts, and my mother is not his father's first wife. But now, she never expected that Yunli would appear, what should I do?
At dusk, in the small pavilion next to the post road, thirty miles outside the east gate of Chaoge City, Shen Beichen and Duan Shihe looked at the sunset side by side.
After a long time, Duan Shihe said: "Brother, how old were we when we dated here? How many years have passed since then, do you still remember?"
"I was thirty-three and you were thirty-one," Shen Beichen said calmly without moving, "It's been five hundred and thirty-six years now."
"Has it been that long? Brother, I remember well." Duan Shihe said, "I can't remember the time accurately, but I will always remember the days when you and I fought bloody battles with the Six Gods Gate, assassinated Wu Junhou, and challenged Xue Sanlang. I will always remember the brotherhood between you and me... I also remember Sun Yumei, if she had not died, I don’t know which one of us she would have married!"
"What do you want to say?" Shen Beichen asked calmly.
"What I want to say is that one woman cannot marry two husbands!" Duan Shihe said, "Two women can marry one husband. Maybe we are wrong."
"This..." Shen Beichen was speechless for a moment, and then sighed after a while. He didn't know whether he agreed or disagreed.
On that snowy night two years ago, they made the decision to marry Qingshi here, but whether to marry Binghong or Xiaoyu to Qingshi was not easy to resolve. They wanted to wait for Qingshi to decide by himself. After all, they They are all still small.
But what I didn't expect was that two years later, Qingshi suddenly chose a third party. Duan Shihe's meaning is very clear now. If he had known this would happen, he should have engaged Qingshi and betrothed Binghong and Xiaoyu to him.
After a long while, Shen Beichen said: "Maybe we were wrong. The matter has come to this, is there anything you can do?"
"Is it too late for us to go to Mo Sihai to propose marriage?" Duan Shihe asked. They all recognized Qingshi as Mo Sihai's disciple.
"Inappropriate!" Shen Beichen categorically rejected, "We should first find out who Yunli is and what her background is. And where she and Qingshi have progressed now. It is said that she was admitted to Tianlong Academy only this year. , these two girls have been with Qingshi for six or seven years."
"Well!" Duan Shihe said, "We need to investigate carefully."
"I've asked Feiyun to investigate..."
