After returning to the house, Ling'er took out a set of clean clothes from the baggage.
Qi Yang walked to the incense burner and prepared to light incense.
Ling'er knew that Qi Yang was cautious and was afraid that the stench from the torture chamber would be left on her body to make Xu Le suspicious, but she didn't know if Qi Yang had the "hidden fragrance" with him.
Qi Yang asked: "What kind of incense does the girl like? Here are sandalwood and ambergris."
"Sanxiang, I like sandalwood." Ling'er said, looking at Qi Yang.
Qi Yang heard what Ling'er said and glanced at Ling'er secretly.
Their eyes met, Qi Yang looked away hurriedly and guiltily.
Ling'er secretly laughed at Qi Yang's cautiousness and thought to herself: "Yes, I just love Wujiwu, and I like sandalwood because of Qingfengxia."
Ling'er took the clothes and walked behind the screen, and then secretly peeked out through the gap in the screen. Qi Yang lit up the sandalwood, then took something out of his pocket and put it into the incense burner.
"It turns out that Brother Qi Yang brought 'hidden incense' with him, but I don't know what the effect would be if burning 'hidden incense' and sandalwood at the same time?" Ling'er thought curiously.
Ling'er changed her clothes and came out, and saw Qi Yang sitting on the low couch with his head lowered as if thinking about something.
Ling'er sniffed the surrounding air, but there was no smell. It turns out that the "hidden incense" and sandalwood were ignited together, but the "hidden incense" was more powerful.
Gradually, a faint scent of sandalwood wafted over. It seemed that the "hidden fragrance" had burned out and now it was the sandalwood that was taking effect.
Qi Yang looked up at Ling'er and saw Ling'er holding the dirty clothes he had just changed and lowering his head to smell it.
Qi Yang said hurriedly: "Put it away quickly! Don't let anyone see it."
Ling'er saw Qi Yang's nervousness and asked with a smile: "What were you thinking about before?"
Qi Yang felt that Ling'er should be mentally prepared, so he said truthfully: "I just heard from Chen Bingda that Xu Le is busy working on our affairs every day. I'm afraid he went out today to investigate the details of senior Wu Jiang."
"What should we do?" Ling'er asked.
"We can only deal with it carefully. Fortunately, Senior Wu Jiang keeps a low profile, and very few people in the world know about him." Qi Yang said.
Hearing what Qi Yang said, Ling'er felt relieved. She asked again: "The Chen Bingda you are talking about, the 'Mr. Chen' they call him, is he the former Black Lotus Master of the Black Lotus God Sect?"
"It's him." Qi Yang replied.
"You have hurt him, but don't let him recognize you." Ling'er said worriedly.
"How could that happen?" Qi Yang said disapprovingly.
Ling'er suddenly thought of Xu Le again. He had also hurt Qi Yang. When Qi Yang met him, he not only had to treat him politely, but also used up his own inner strength to heal him.
Ling'er hurriedly sat down next to Qi Yang and said, "After you hurt Chen Bingda, Xu Le also hurt you, so don't you hate Xu Le in your heart?"
Hate him? Qi Yang smiled bitterly.
Linger's heart ached a little.
Qi Yang suddenly thought of something and asked, "How did the girl know about this?"
"Huh?" Ling'er realized that he had slipped up. When she was hesitating whether to push Brother Qi Dian out of the way, she received Qi Yang's eyes.
somebody is coming!
Ling'er panicked and quickly stood up.
When Ling'er wasn't paying attention, Qi Yang propped up the low couch with his hands and stood up, ready to answer the door.
Soon there was a knock on the door.
Qi Yang opened the door and saw the two guards who had followed them before.
They looked a little decadent, and one of them said: "Second Young Master, please come and have dinner."
"Okay, you're done." Qi Yang said.
The man then said: "Miracle doctor, just now we accidentally fell asleep by the pond. Well...you have to say a good word to us in front of the second young master!"
"Okay, you two have been with us all day, and you just took a short nap. I'm sure the second young master won't blame you." Qi Yang said.
The two were overjoyed when they heard this and hurriedly thanked Qi Yang.
Ling'er thought to herself: "I hope this matter can be revealed without arousing Xu Le's suspicion."
---
Xu Le was entertaining Qi Yang and Ling'er in the upper hall this time.
Xu Le sat in the main seat, with an empty seat next to him, which must have been specially reserved for Chen Bingda. But Chen Bingda hasn't shown up yet. Is he still blaming Xu Le?
Xu Le looked at Qi Yang holding a few green vegetables and said with a smile: "When did the miracle doctor start to prefer vegetarian food? How come I heard that the miracle doctor only likes to eat meat?"
Ling'er was shocked and knew that she had ruined something big.
Ling'er lowered her head and was wondering what to do when she saw Qi Yang's right hand reaching out from under the table and gently patted the back of her left hand hidden under the table.
The slightly cool body temperature was reassuring. Ling'er immediately gathered her emotions and looked up at Qi Yang, inexplicably believing that Qi Yang could solve the mess in front of her.
Qi Yang looked at Xu Le and said calmly: "I don't often walk around in the Jianghu, and I rarely drink and chat with my friends in the Jianghu. I wonder where the second young master heard about it?" As he spoke, he thought about the Jianghu. Rumors about Wujiang.
Xu Le was about to speak when he heard Qi Yang continue: "Did the second young master hear about the peach tasting banquet in Sanqing Mountain?"
Xu Le nodded.
"That was all so many years ago! Is there anyone in the world still talking nonsense?" Qi Yang touched his fake beard and said unhappily, "It's true that good things don't go out, and bad things spread thousands of miles!"
Ling'er had not heard of that incident and looked at Qi Yang curiously.
Qi Yang said angrily: "It's just that I was greedy for a drink and accidentally got drunk. Then I took my second son and said a few words from my heart. But I didn't expect that these words would be listened to by interested people, and they would be treated as a laughing stock. Later, they would even It has spread to the world. What a mistake that will lead to eternal hatred!"
"Haha!" Xu Le smiled and listened to the other party continue.
"Actually, it's nothing. I just complained that although the Peach Banquet was famous, there wasn't even any meat or meat in the banquet. Although it was true that they were a Taoist temple, the people they invited were all famous people in the world. It's not like they are all monks and Taoist priests. The treat doesn't include any meat, so how can people not complain?" Qi Yang recounted the past events many years ago.
The Peach Tasting Banquet in Sanqing Mountain happened many years ago. Qi Yang was still young at that time, so naturally he didn't know much about this matter. But later when Wu Jiang became friends with Qi Yang, he told Qi Yang in detail about his rare appearance in the world but being treated as a laughing stock.
"Don't be angry with the miracle doctor! The practice of Sanqingguan back then was indeed inappropriate, and the words and deeds of the miracle doctor were also reasonable. Don't be like the ignorant juniors in the world." Xu Le said with a smile.
"Second Young Master is still sensible." Qi Yang pretended to be pleased and said.
"But I still don't understand. The miracle doctor used to love eating meat. Why did he suddenly..." Xu Le brought the topic back.
"After all these years, people will always change." Qi Yang said with a smile.
Xu Le curled his lips, obviously not believing it.
Qi Yang had no choice but to continue: "To be honest, I once suffered a serious trauma that hurt my spleen and stomach." As he said that, Qi Yang gently pressed somewhere on his body.
When Ling'er saw this, his heart ached. Although she knew that Qi Yang was most likely fooling the other party, Qi Yang's expression at this time did not seem to be fake, as if he was telling a secret that had never been revealed to outsiders.
