"Why are you so stupid? So impulsive?" Nangong Qingqing said with a slightly trembling voice.
Zhongli Wuyuan frowned and said: "He insulted you and spread rumors about you, I..."
"You what?"
Nangong Qingqing looked up at him, with a distressed and complicated expression hidden in her eyes. Before Zhongli Wuyuan could speak, she said again: "Even if Zhengzheng and the others ask you to protect me, you don't have to lose your mind. Don't do this in the future." It’s over.”
When Zhongli Wuyuan heard this, his lips turned white, his brows furrowed and he asked, "Did you misunderstand something?"
Nangong Qingqing was slightly stunned and looked at him without knowing why.
Zhongli Wuyuan stared deeply into her eyes and said in an extremely solemn tone: "It's me who wants to protect you."
Nangong Qingqing's heart beat violently under her chest several times. She was a little confused for a moment, and his words were the only words that kept ringing in her mind.
Zhongli Wuyuan looked gentle and asked softly: "What about you? Do you want to protect me? It's the kind of protection that has nothing to do with companionship."
Nangong Qingqing came back to her senses and seemed to understand Zhongli Wuyuan's hint. Her heartbeat seemed to be getting louder and louder. Under his gaze, she slowly lowered her eyelashes, trembling slightly, and thought seriously for a moment. , she finally let out a light 'hmm'.
A smile appeared on Zhongli Wuyuan's pale handsome face, and the corners of his lips raised.
The moon finally saw his presence.
Nangong Qingqing suppressed the ups and downs of her mood and realized that his injury was serious. She immediately took out a bottle of elixir from the storage space and fed the elixir to his mouth: "Take the healing elixir first."
Zhongli Wuyuan swallowed the pill fed to his mouth. In the process, his lips inadvertently brushed against her palm, as if it instantly stirred up a fire, causing Nangong Qingqing to retract her hand in panic.
"What's wrong?" Zhongli Wuyuan didn't seem to notice.
Nangong Qingqing's cheeks were slightly red and she shook her head.
Zhongli Wuyuan said with a smile on his lips: "I feel much better after taking the elixir. Let's go report together."
Nangong Qingqing said worriedly: "Can you walk? Let me help you."
When Zhongli Wuyuan heard her last sentence, he hesitated for a moment and then replied: "Okay."
He deliberately didn't say polite words like 'please' or 'thank you' because he wanted to get closer to her.
Zhongli Wuyuan raised his arm and put it on her shoulders, as if he was holding Nangong Qingqing in his arms. The two of them were so close that they were intertwined with each other's breath. Both of them were a little uncomfortable and uncomfortable. Shy.
The atmosphere is a bit ambiguous.
If this scene were caught in Nangong Junze's eyes, he would definitely be furious on the spot, and he might even rush over, grab Zhong Li Wuyuan by the collar, and beat him wildly.
Many outer disciples also noticed them.
"Are they a Taoist couple?"
"Get away from them quickly. I heard that they asked Elder Si Yun to get Ling Yuzhou and the others into Hanya. If the Sixth Elder knew about this, he would definitely not let them go!"
"Oh my god, how dare they provoke Ling Yuzhou and the others?"
"It is said that they came from that barren place in Dongzhou yesterday. When they first arrived, they provoked local snakes. I don't know if they are really ignorant or stupid?"
"That woman is so beautiful, Senior Brother Ling must have fallen in love with her!"
"Hahaha, it's her honor to be favored by Senior Brother Ling. She doesn't know what's good or bad, and doesn't care about her own identity and strength? She has nothing but beauty!"
Many outer disciples made comments about Nangong Qingqing, full of malice. But there are still some female disciples who sympathize with Nangong Qingqing's experience and secretly support her in dealing with Ling Yuzhou.
Zhong Li Wuyuan's handsome face became colder and colder, and his eyes darkened. Just when he couldn't bear it anymore, he heard Nangong Qingqing say softly: "Ignore them, we can only do it easily when we are strong." I want to defeat their dirty words, this is what Zhengzheng told me."
Zhongli Wuyuan was silent for a moment.
"you're right."
However, he can allow others to insult him, but he cannot listen to others' slander of Qingqing.
He must become strong to protect her.
…
After going to the Dharma Sect to report, in the next few days, Nangong Qingqing and Zhongli Wuyuan clearly felt the rejection and cold looks from the Dharma Sect disciples, probably because they came from Dongzhou and were friends with Ling Yuzhou. The disciples of the sect had become enemies, so the disciples of the sect did not want to get close to them for fear of getting into trouble.
However, on the fourth day after arriving at the Nanmu Sect, a female disciple from the inner sect fell in love with Zhongli Wuyuan at first sight, and then began a fierce pursuit mode. Even though Zhongli Wuyuan had clearly rejected him, the female disciple still fell in love with him. In pursuit.
It is precisely because of this that the relationship progress of Nangong Qingqing and Zhongli Wuyuan, who have not yet completely broken off their relationship, seems to have reached a freezing point.
Nangong Qingqing sometimes deliberately avoids him because the environment in which she grew up made her very insecure, so she did not dare to gamble on her feelings.
That evening, Nangong Qingqing and Zhongli Wuyuan just came out of the Dharma Gate.
The female disciple of the inner sect had been waiting for a long time. She was dressed in white inner sect clothes. She was petite and exquisite, with a pretty and charming appearance. When she saw Zhongli Wuyuan, her eyes lit up.
She happily waved to Zhongli Wuyuan.
"Wuyuan, I'm here!"
Nangong Qingqing's eyes paused, subconsciously trying to avoid this scene. Just when she was about to say to Zhongli Wuyuan, "I'll go back first," she was caught off guard by his deep eyes.
For a moment, Nangong Qingqing felt a little guilty.
At this time, the inner female disciple came over. When she wanted to reach out and pull Zhongli Wuyuan's arm, Zhongli Wuyuan sidestepped and dodged. Zhongli Wuyuan said with an indifferent expression: "Senior Sister Chen, please respect yourself."
Chen Danxue laughed when she heard this.
She stared straight at Zhongli Wuyuan's handsome face, and said almost coquettishly: "You are not married and I am not married, so I will pursue you, can't you? Junior Brother Wuyuan, why do you have to speak so harshly? If I really succeed in the future If you lose your Taoist companion, you still have to coax me."
Zhongli Wuyuan affirmed: "There will be no future. Please, Senior Sister Chen, please stop pestering me."
After Zhongli Wuyuan said that, he wanted to leave with Nangong Qingqing.
Chen Danxue puffed up her cheeks: "Wuyuan, is it because of Junior Sister Nangong that you don't accept me? But I see that she doesn't like you at all. Can't you see my existence?"
Nangong Qingqing frowned, her eyes flickered, and she didn't know what she was thinking.
Zhong Li Wuyuan turned his head, glanced at Chen Danxue coldly, and said in a low voice: "I don't like you, and it has nothing to do with anyone."
Chen Danxue smiled confidently: "Wuyuan, don't reject me in such a hurry. One day you will like me. Tomorrow is the holiday. I can take you to see the largest auction house nearby. This is The admission invitation I gave you."
With that said, Chen Danxue forced the invitation into his arms.
She took a step back and smiled charmingly.
"I'll wait for you outside Nanmumen Mountain tomorrow."
From the beginning to the end, Chen Danxue did not take a second look at Nangong Qingqing, and did not seem to regard her as an opponent. Chen Danxue turned around and left without giving Zhong Li Wuyuan time to react.
