Chapter 463: The Choice of Four (Part 2)
Yi Xifeng took the small bowl handed over by the girl and looked at the milky white fish soup and a touch of emerald green onions inside. His index finger suddenly moved. After all, he had not eaten properly since last night. Have a meal. After going up the mountain to pay homage to Ouye Changfeng in the early morning, I drank a lot of wine on the rooftop. How could I still be reserved when I saw this fragrant fish soup?
The fair boy picked up the small bowl and took a big sip. There were a lot of fish fillets in the fish soup, and he tasted it. It was the kind of white fish he had caught from Luojian Lake before. After the three of them landed, he grilled the white fish. The white fish in the bowl must have been caught by the girl in the lake early this morning.
"Drink slowly! In fact, it will taste better if you add some corn rice!" Ling'e saw Yi Xifeng sipping the fish soup and blinked with a smile.
Yi Xifeng naturally followed the good example and scooped out a large piece of corn rice from the barrel and put it into the small bowl. He didn't even put the spoon down, but took a big mouthful and stuffed it into his mouth.
Ling'e watched the fair boy in front of her eating so happily, and her initial joy slowly turned into curiosity.
Why does he eat so well? Why do I feel like it’s almost the same as usual?
The girl secretly swallowed her saliva and thought to herself: Could it be that his bowl was special because it was so delicious?
Ling'e took a mouthful of fish soup and rice from her bowl without believing anything wrong. She glanced at Yi Xifeng who was snoring and eating vigorously with some disappointment, and then ran to the kitchen again.
Yi Xifeng had to eat three extra meals in total before finishing this meal, which was not considered breakfast but was lunch but was too early. At this time, the girl came out again, holding two cups of tea in her hand, and gave one cup to the boy.
No matter how thick-skinned the fair boy is, he feels a little embarrassed to suddenly come to someone else's house for a big meal.
"I heard that you are already a registered disciple?" The girl took a sip of her cup of tea and asked curiously.
Yi Xifeng scratched his head and said uncertainly: "That's right, I have a belt."
Seeing that he answered in the affirmative, Ling'e's big eyes turned into crescent moons as she smiled, "Hey, call me Senior Sister!"
Yi Xifeng immediately stayed on the spot and said with some embarrassment: "Well... actually, the leader is not in a hurry to let us become his disciples..."
"Be good! Call me Senior Sister!"
"Well, actually this white fish is not the most delicious if you do it this way. Do you know vinegar fish? Let me teach you..."
"Be good! Call me Senior Sister!"
Yi Xifeng: "..."
Finally, with Ling'e's persistence, Yi Xifeng recognized his first senior sister in the Qingyun Sect. Ling'e realized that the fair-skinned young man in front of her seemed to have something on her mind. She had also heard about what happened in Yinren Town in the past few days and felt very sorry for him. She once thought about it in another person's shoes. She grew up in the Qingyun Sect. If the Qingyun Sect was destroyed one day, it would be a terrible thing.
When he thought of this, he suddenly felt sorry for this junior brother's experience, and asked softly: "What are you thinking about? Junior Brother Xifeng." She turned to look at this fair boy who was about the same height as herself.
Yi Xifeng smiled bitterly and said, "To tell you the truth, I suddenly came to you today because I was depressed and confused."
Having said this, he smiled casually and thought to himself: What's wrong with me? Ling'e and I have only seen each other for a few days. This is the third time we have met. Why are you telling her this?
But to Yi Xifeng's surprise, the girl actually understood what he meant. He answered very seriously: "I'm afraid everyone's answer to this question is different, and there's no way to say what's the right thing to do. That's the wrong thing to do!"
Yi Xifeng blinked and looked at the pure-minded girl in front of him. He did not expect that the other party would give such an answer.
Ling'e walked in front of him, took two steps forward, and said as she walked: "So I can't tell you how you should choose? Or tell you how to make you not depressed. But if it were me, I’m not that confused, I will ask my master, ask my brothers and sisters, where should I go?”
At this point, she turned her head and stuck out her tongue playfully, and said in a coquettish way: "Hey, it sounds a little unmotivated, but that's how I am! Even if the Qingyun Sect is gone, the master, brothers and sisters are still here , that’s not bad!”
Yi Xifeng stared blankly at the charming girl in front of him who tilted her head to look at him. She was silent for a long time, then bowed solemnly and said in a deep voice: "Thank you, senior sister, for your advice!"
When he raised his head again, the melancholy and confusion in the fair boy's brows were gone.
"Well, that's good if you understand! Then I'm going to Jianping to practice swordsmanship with my senior sisters. Do you want to come with me?"
Yi Xifeng shook his head and said apologetically: "Originally, after eating your fish and rice, I should have gone through a few tricks with you, but unfortunately I have something important to do today, so I'll write it down first this time!"
Ling'e grinned, waved her hand and said, "You are indeed smart. Just say a few words and you will figure it out on your own. I am also thinking about a Jianping competition for a while, and I will give you a few moves to make you happy!"
Yi Xifeng: "..."
The young man said nothing with a wry smile, but Ling'e was just joking. He waved his hand and said: "Hey, I've written it down, I've written it down, go get to work!"
When Yi Xifeng heard this, he was very happy. He cupped his hands and walked towards the mountainside where the named disciple lived. However, before he could take two steps out, he was stopped by Ling'e.
He turned back to look at the girl in confusion. Ling'e looked at him with a smile but said nothing.
Yi Xifeng was stunned for a few breaths before he understood the reason. He touched his nose helplessly and stuttered, "Well, um, goodbye, senior sister!"
Ling'e readily agreed.
…………Dividing line…………
Yi Xifeng returned to the mountainside again and looked at the more than forty courtyards around him. He went straight to the ones near the cliff. The mountainside where the named disciple lives is an open space created by someone.
The courtyards near the mountain path are occupied by male disciples, while the courtyards near the cliff overlooking the sea of clouds are occupied by female disciples. The seven or eight courtyards in the middle are all occupied by married registered disciples.
After all, like the Luo Yun Sect, most of the registered disciples of the Qingyun Sect do not live in the sect, but are spread all over the world, and only a small number of them practice in the sect. The seven or eight courtyards in the middle are for registered disciples who are away for a long time and occasionally return to the sect.
These worldly people naturally seek a named disciple in order to use the force of the sect to be powerful. After all, they are not necessarily the material to practice martial arts in the first place.
Yi Xifeng walked to a courtyard and saw a female disciple walking out of the courtyard. This woman has an oval face and wears a light cyan dress. She is about twenty years old, tall and has a delicate face. Seeing her walking out of the courtyard gate, Yi Xifeng immediately held up his hands and asked, "Excuse me, does Li Xintian live here?"
The woman was lowering her head to arrange her clothes, but she was obviously startled when she heard Yi Xifeng's words. After all, it is indeed rare for someone like him to come directly to the door without knowing where the girl lives.
The female disciple came back to her senses and was about to open her mouth to reprimand the other party, but when she took a closer look, she saw that it was a fair and handsome young man. The anger that suddenly surged in her heart was suppressed by her.
"Are you new here?"
When Yi Xifeng saw the other party asking, someone misunderstood, and he quickly handed over the badge on his waist and apologized: "I'm sorry, it's my first day here. I came to see my companion. She and I We became registered disciples together."
After hearing this, the girl with the oval face also understood the reason for the matter, and explained with a smile: "I understand, you are looking for that cute little girl, right? He is in that courtyard over there, what floor and direction are he specifically? , I don’t know, but you can go over and ask!”
Following the other person's finger, he quickly found the right place.
This courtyard is no different from the surrounding ones, except for the name on the large plaque in front of the gate. This courtyard is called Zechun Garden. Yi Xifeng still remembered that the courtyard where he lived was called Xun Yunxuan, and the oval-faced girl who just showed him the way lived in a courtyard called Liyang Garden.
Yi Xifeng didn't understand the significance of these names. The most urgent task was to find Li Xintian.
At this time, there happened to be someone walking back and forth in the Zechun Garden. When he saw Yi Xifeng walking in, he asked, "Junior brother, are you here to find someone?"
Although the Qingyun Sect separates male and female disciples, they do not prohibit daily communication between men and women. Men are not allowed to enter these women's courtyards until nightfall.
"I'm here to see Li Xintian. I am her companion and the new registered disciple today." Yi Xifeng replied politely.
The woman made a soft sound and said casually: "Oh, you mean the little girl who followed Deacon Xiao here before? Well, he is on the second floor on the east side."
Yi Xifeng immediately held up his hands and thanked her. The woman smiled and waved her hand, indicating that you're welcome.
Yi Xifeng walked up to the second floor, came to the door, and patted the door gently, but there was no sound from inside. He patted with more strength, but there was still no response. He frowned slightly, and then swept his soul towards the room.
As a result, the fair boy found that there was no one in the house.
At this time, the woman who was pacing back and forth in the courtyard said, "Oh, I just told you where she lives. I forgot to tell you. She just went out."
Yi Xifeng had a dark look on his face and thought: You should have told her if she wasn't here. I've been knocking on the door here for a long time. Are you kidding me?
However, although he thought so in his heart, he did not say so in his mouth. He asked in a deep voice: "Then do you know where she went? Or how long it will take for her to come back?"
The girl still smiled and waved her hand, but this time it was to indicate that she didn't know at all.
…
The fair boy waited outside the courtyard for a while, and when she saw that Li Xintian still hadn't come back, she felt a little nervous. After all, she didn't have many friends here. She grew up with Li Chengqian and Li Chengtao, so she lacked a lot in interpersonal communication. Yi Xifeng was somewhat worried about the girl's safety.
After another cup of tea, he didn't want to wait any longer and decided to go find the other party.
But as soon as he came down from upstairs, a petite silhouette appeared at the door of the courtyard. It was Li Xintian who had just come back from outside.
The girl has habitually put on her mask at this time, but it is different from the black and gray in the past. Now she no longer dyes her skin color dark, so the color of the mask is mostly white masks that are similar to her skin color.
Yi Xifeng looked at the masked Li Xintian and felt pain for no reason. He knew that the girl's ability to adapt to a strange environment was not as strong as she seemed on the surface. Even if she could only take care of herself here, But she still couldn't feel that sense of security, so she needed a mask to block it.
He walked forward and came to Li Xintian, raising his hand to remove the mask from her face, but the other party stepped back and avoided it.
Yi Xifeng asked in surprise: "What's wrong?" At the same time, his heart dropped to freezing point.
The girl replied in a hoarse voice: "It's swollen from crying, it doesn't look good..."
Hearing this reply and her slightly hoarse voice, Yi Xifeng felt both distressed and funny. Then he joked: "How can it not look good? It's obviously the mask that doesn't look good!"
The two of them didn't do much ink in the courtyard, and soon returned to Li Xintian's two-story hut. After entering the house, under Yi Xifeng's repeated insistence, she took off the mask. Seeing that the girl's eyes were slightly red and swollen, the fair boy didn't say anything. Instead, he took two towels, put them into hot and cold water, and asked Li Xintian to wipe them one by one.
"Where were you just now?" The two asked almost in unison.
Li Xintian didn't hesitate and immediately replied: "I'll go to your courtyard to find you."
Yi Xifeng suddenly felt something was wrong. He did not answer the question directly, but replied calmly: "I know."
The girl was stunned, blinked her slightly swollen eyes, and asked doubtfully: "Do you know why you are not waiting for me there?"
"You misunderstood. I meant that when I came to find you, I found you were not there, so I guessed that you were looking for me." Yi Xifeng replied calmly.
However, the fair-skinned girl was obviously not that easy to deceive. She said slowly: "You didn't answer my question."
"Well, I went to Senior Sister Ling'e first..."
Li Xintian: "..."
"Listen to my explanation. I was very confused at the time, and I didn't want to influence everyone. After all, we know that this matter involves too many things, and I can't influence you. So I didn't look for any of you three, but looked for the spirit. Senior Sister E, she is the only person I know here besides you." Yi Xifeng spoke very quickly.
Li Xintian: "..."
"Thanks to Senior Sister Ling'e's guidance, I completely understood the correct way to go in the future. Yes, Yinren Town is gone, but everyone is still there! Grandpa Lin and Mr. Zhao Jia They are all gone, but Fenghuo, Lingxi, and Chengcheng are still there, and more importantly, you are still there!..."
Li Xintian: “…………”
"I don't know if I want revenge, or for what purpose. But I know how I want to take the future. If I talk about my previous martial arts and martial arts training, I just wanted to make myself stronger, in order to satisfy my dream of pursuing the limits of martial arts. . Now, it’s different. I practice martial arts just to protect my relatives and friends..."
At this point, Yi Xifeng did not say the last three words, but he knew that the girl should be able to understand what he meant.
When Li Xintian saw that Yi Xifeng had finished speaking, he covered his mouth and said with a sweet smile: "Why are you nervous? Just go and go, I guessed it a long time ago!"
