Before Li Ye and Xiaohua could prepare dinner, it started to rain lightly in Fangcun Mountain. The continuous spring rain fell all night long, and the people in Qingshi Courtyard drank till midnight.
Qingxu and Jiuchi returned together, shouting all the way.
It's rare in this world to be drunk and dream about death, but he drank two bottles before he was satisfied.
After two sips, Nangong Ruyu was as drunk as a kitten and was carried back to the room by Xiaohua early. However, Xiaohua, who had had two drinks, was later helped back to the room by Tang Qiuyu.
Then Xia Wutong fell drunk in Jiang Ruoyu's arms, and her last words while she was awake were: "Mother, Wutong can't bear to leave you..."
Intrigued by Xia Wutong's words, Jiang Ruoyu also fell drunk in front of Tang Qiuyu.
After sending Qingxu and Jiuji away, Tang Qiuyu, unwilling to be lonely, drank another drink. Finally, she was so drunk that she lay on the table and started shouting.
He looked at Li Ye and said, "Little one, I might be your mistress..."
Li Ye, who was finally awake, helped her into the house and lay down, then turned around and came out to clean up the mess.
After a night of drinking and drunkenness, he was the only one who was sober because he only had one drink from the beginning to the end. Qingxu knew what he was thinking and did not dissuade him.
The drunkard knows that his disciple still has wine, so he will not care how many drinks he has.
Watching the continuous spring rain on the mountain, Li Ye sat alone in the living room and brewed a pot of hot tea.
Tonight, he estimated that Nangong Ruyu, Xiaohua and Xia Wutong would all break through.
"I wonder if the three people who are about to leave when they wake up tomorrow will feel the opportunity to break through?"
Listening to the wind and watching the rain, a pot of tea boils until dawn...
Around nine o'clock, after a long night, he lay down on the table and fell asleep. It was already a quarter of an hour before he woke up.
After falling asleep for two hours, he woke up and Tang Qiuyu was already sitting quietly in the living room. A bowl of white porridge was cooked on the table and several eggs were placed on the plate.
Tang Qiuyu changed a pot of tea and was drinking tea alone.
After rubbing his eyes, Li Ye looked at her and smiled: "Good morning, Mr. Tang, I'm going to wash up..."
Tang Qiuyu looked at him and opened his mouth, but did not speak.
Li Ye walked out of the living room, looking at the sunny Xuantian Temple, and thought to himself that this is really a good weather, suitable for an outing, and he will take Nangong Ruyu to the back mountain for a while.
After fetching water and washing up, he returned to the living room, but there was no sign of Jiang Ruoyu, Xia Wutong and others. He looked at Tang Qiuyu and asked, "Is the princess still hungover?"
Tang Qiuyu glanced at him and didn't reply immediately. She pointed at the steaming porridge and said, "This is what Wutong's mother cooked. Eat a bowl before talking."
Li Ye was stunned, looked at her and smiled: "I thought it was cooked by Mr. Tang. I happened to be hungry. I drank tea all night last night, so I was already hungry."
"Princess, you must have broken through the realm yesterday night, right? Mr. Tang must be the same, too. My master said that practitioners who drink this wine for the first time can easily break through the realm..."
Li Ye asked softly while filling up a bowl of chicken.
"Wu Tong broke through the second level yesterday, all the way to the fifth level of Nascent Soul. That girl Xiaohua seems to have also broken through the second level. I think she has reached the fourth level of Nascent Soul. These little girls are much more successful than I was back then."
Tang Qiuyu looked at Li Ye who was eating porridge and said softly.
Li Ye nodded and did not answer.
Tang Qiuyu had long been accustomed to him being like this, and continued: "As for me, thanks to you, I have broken through the first level. Now I am at the fifth level. I guess you will have to treat my junior sister to two drinks when you see her next time. , otherwise she will scold me to death."
Li Ye shook his head and smiled, but did not answer. He thought that we would talk to each other when we have a chance. I don't know what year it will take until we meet again.
"As for your little apprentice, it's even more terrifying. A six-year-old girl is already at the third level of foundation building. Who would believe it? I think that old guy Nangong Xuanyuan can laugh out of his dreams, right?"
At this point, Li Ye put down the bowl, looked up at her and said seriously: "Practice is not easy, so don't be careless. It is naturally something worth liking if you can break through one more realm."
"Why can't I see any signs of breakthrough in you, or are you too good at hiding yourself?"
Tang Qiuyu looked at Li Ye and frowned.
Li Ye was stunned, looked at her and said with a smile: "Me? My Buddhist skills are not broken. This practice will always be stuck somewhere and cannot move. What do you think I can do?"
Tang Qiuyu glared at him. Although he was not satisfied with Li Ye's answer, there was nothing he could do about it. After all, both Qingxu and Minghui had proved this, and this was not something that could be achieved by taking the elixir from the five realms.
"You must have accumulated a lot of experience. When your Buddhist skills break through, you may scare many practitioners to death."
Tang Qiuyu smiled faintly, but there was a feeling in his heart that his fist was hitting cotton, powerless.
As he was talking, Xia Wutong walked in, rubbing his eyes, and smelled the faint aroma of porridge. When he looked again, there was a bowl of steaming white porridge and a pot of boiled eggs on the table. .
"You can't tell, junior brother cooked porridge and eggs early in the morning, not bad!" Xia Wutong was very happy after breaking through. He filled a bowl of porridge by himself and reached out to pick up an egg.
"That's..." Li Ye thought for a while and said, "Your mother cooked it when she got up in the morning, and I just got up early."
Xia Wutong said "Oh" and whispered: "It turns out that mother can also cook and eat."
Tang Qiuyu watched her eating and ignored her. Instead, he looked at Li Ye and said, "The imperial master plans to take us into the mountains to collect herbs someday?"
Li Ye thought for a while and replied: "Are there too many people? It's better to let Xiaohua stay here to practice. She has just broken through and is suitable to practice quietly for a while..."
Counting on my fingers, I found that there were five people including Xiaohua. This was a big team. I was going into the mountains to collect herbs, not touring the mountains and rivers.
"Then let Xiao Hua stay and we go into the mountain. How about starting tomorrow?" Tang Qiuyu asked softly.
"Don't we have to wait for seniors and the others?" At this time, Li Ye was peeling an egg and was about to stuff it into his mouth.
"No need!" Tang Qiuyu glanced at Xia Wutong.
Li Ye's heart thumped, and he almost dropped the egg in his hand. He stared at Tang Qiuyu for a long time, speechless.
Xia Wutong said while eating: "Let's go to the mountains to collect herbs. Maybe we can bring some elixirs back to mother when we come back!"
Li Ye nodded, looked at the two of them, silently picked up the teapot and poured himself a glass of water.
What he wanted to say had been said, and those who left had quietly left. Li Ye remembered the words he had asked Wuyou on the day Wu Xin went down the mountain.
As quietly as I come, as quietly as I leave...
"The sun is just right. Let's leave early tomorrow morning. Let Xiaohua prepare some dried meat today to avoid starving in the mountains. Yu'er won't be hungry..."
Turning his head, Li Ye stood up and stood by the window of the living room, looking at the spring scenery of the mountain, but tears were dripping down his face.
My two masters didn't want to see the separation of life and death, so they chose to leave quietly in the early morning.
Xia Wutong's mother didn't want her daughter to see her tears. She got up early and cooked breakfast for everyone, and then left quietly.
Life is like a spring flower, and death is like an autumn moon.
Li Ye sighed softly in his heart. Even if he cultivates to the point where his heart is as solid as a rock, so what if he is as patient and immovable as a mountain. At this moment, the mountain will cry for me.
Don't be sad, don't be sad, don't be sad.
He stood in silence in front of the window for a long time. It wasn't until Xiaohua took Nangong Ruyu's hand into the living room that Li Ye quietly wiped away the tears on his face, turned around, touched her little face and gave her a smile.
"Yu'er is now a practitioner of the third level of foundation building. You are the most powerful in the Nangong family."
For the innocent Nangong Ruyu, Li Ye wanted to give her a happy childhood.
Nangong Ruyu let go of Xiaohua, took Li Ye's hand and said with a smile, "Yu'er feels much stronger. If she encounters the snow chicken again, she won't let it run away."
Li Ye was stunned and laughed at her words. The little girl's motivation to break through the situation turned out to be those snow chickens that escaped.
"Where's your little black rabbit?" Li Ye pulled her to sit down at the table and served her a bowl of porridge.
The little girl picked up an egg and peeled it open. She looked at Li Ye and said with a smile: "The master put it back in the mountains and said that Xiao Hei should live with his own companions. It would be too cruel for Yu'er to keep it locked up."
Yesterday, she learned from Qingxu that Xiaohei was let go, and she was always unhappy. Qingxu explained it to her for a long time before she understood the truth.
"Master, from now on Yu'er will stop hunting rabbits in the mountains and just eat snow chicken. Xiao Hei and the others are so pitiful."
Ever since the little girl raised the little black rabbit, Xiaohua was not allowed to hunt rabbits in the mountains and come back to eat them.
Li Ye was stunned, looked at her and smiled: "That's fine, I'll listen to Yu'er in everything."
For him, it doesn't matter if he eats less. It can make his disciples feel compassionate, which makes him happier and more satisfied than anything else.
"Master, where is my mother? Did you go to Master Qingxu's place for tea?" Xia Wutong glanced at Tang Qiuyu after finishing his porridge.
"They left." Seeing her apprentice finish breakfast, Tang Qiuyu finally breathed a sigh of relief. She was afraid that she would not be able to eat all day long if she knew the truth.
Xia Wutong was stunned, looked at Li Ye and asked, "If they leave, where can they go? Have they gone to Prajna Temple to see Master Minghui?"
Li Ye smiled awkwardly, with tears in his eyes: "Where can they go? Of course they left us."
"What do you mean? Why didn't she say anything to me?"
After saying that, he pushed the chair away and ran out of the living room. After a while, a shrill cry came from the small courtyard: "Mother! Mother, how could you leave me without saying a word!"
"Mother! You are so cruel!"
Tang Qiuyu glanced at Li Ye, sighed softly, and walked outside.
"Master, have Yu'er's two masters left? Does Yu have to be very powerful so that he can see them in the future?"
Nangong Ruyu asked quietly while eating eggs.
Li Ye had already told her that the three people were leaving. In her opinion, the three seniors had just gone to far away places. As long as she became better, they would naturally be able to meet again.
The little girl now can't live without Li Ye, and her feelings for the two masters are not as deep as Li Ye's.
"As long as Yu'er practices to a level better than her master, she will naturally be able to see her master and the others again."
Li Ye looked at the little flower in front of him and asked softly: "How does it feel to break through?"
"It's a bit like a dream. It has an unreal feeling. Not even a year after I broke through to the Nascent Soul Realm, I broke through to the second level again in the blink of an eye." Xiaohua looked at him, feeling naturally very happy in her heart.
"I'll leave you with the body-tempering herbs. You can soak them once in seven days, four times in a row, and we'll almost be back..."
Li Ye told Xiaohua his plan.
"Then I'll have to trouble you, sir, to take care of the young lady. Xiaohua will keep the house here. I just have a few vegetable plots to plant vegetables. You can eat them when you come back." Xiaohua said.
Li Ye laughed, looked at her and said: "Xiaohua, I told the Nangong family head, you will be called Nangong Xiaohua from now on... You and Yu'er don't need to call you miss, you are the elder sister, she is younger sister."
After thinking about it, Li Ye told Xiaohua about Nangong Xuanyuan's decision.
"Xiaohua has a surname? Then Xiaohua will be a member of the Nangong family from now on?" Upon hearing this, Xiaohua happily covered her mouth.
"You have always been from Nangong, from the day the head of the Nangong family picked you up." Li Ye looked at Nangong Ruyu and said, "Yu'er will call her sister Xiaohua from now on, otherwise the master and grandpa will be angry."
Nangong Ruyu nodded.
"So, Xiaohua and Yu'er will be a family from now on, just like sister Feiyan?" the little girl shouted excitedly.
"Is Yu'er happy or unhappy?" Li Ye looked at her and asked with a smile.
The little girl squinted her eyes, shook her hand on Xiaohua's head, and said, "Yu'er is naturally very happy!"
"Okay, let Xiaohua help you prepare delicious food and clothes. We will go into the mountains early tomorrow morning!"
Li Ye looked at her and said softly.
