Qiu Shuang glared at the three girls with a cold face and scolded sternly: "Elder Yuhong ordered you three to teach junior sister Ruoshui Yunying swordsmanship. Is this how you treat her?" The leading female disciple quickly waved her hands: "No, it's her. You fell." Qiu Shuang said angrily: "How dare you argue! I can see it from outside the hospital!" The faces of the three female disciples were all panicked.
Although the scene just now was caused by Ruoshui's heart, it was not the result of their deliberate bullying.
If it was just a distraction, given the gap in their swordsmanship, the sword moves would be interrupted at best, but how could they be provoked to fly or even forced to stumble to the ground?
"No, I don't blame them. It's just that I'm too stupid." Ruoshui stood up in shock, lowered her head and apologized repeatedly. She didn't know how to take it seriously, and she didn't want to hurt others because of her fault, and suffered from the three female disciples. I scolded him, but I still felt very sorry.
"That's right, she fell because she was too stupid," one of the female disciples muttered. Qiu Shuang looked at Ruoshui with a cold face, a bit of dissatisfaction subconsciously showing in her eyes, and she didn't like Ruoshui's cowardly attitude.
But upon closer inspection, he was surprised by Ruoshui's pure appearance. Especially that pitiful and innocent face made her heart soften and she suddenly felt pity.
As a woman, if she meets a woman who is better in appearance and temperament than herself, most of them will subconsciously develop competitive hostility. Just like the three female disciples, they couldn't bear to see Ruo Shuisheng being prettier than them.
Qiu Shuang's appearance is also very outstanding, with a clear and cold beauty. Therefore, when she sees a woman like Ruoshui, based on her own self-confidence, she will not have such emotions. Instead, she will develop a kind of sympathy and even love and care. With empathy, Ruoshui will be regarded as his own kind.
In such a mood. Qiu Shuang saw Ruoshui's innocent and pitiful appearance again, as well as the worn and cracked tiger's mouth on her fair and beautiful palm. She compared her heart with her own and instinctively felt heartbroken.
Based on this, his face became a little colder.
"When you get back, you will all be punished by copying Yunying's commandments thirty times!"
"If you do this kind of bullying again, get out of Yunying Temple!" Upon hearing this, the three female disciples suddenly burst into tears, but none of them dared to complain.
They know that their senior sister is famous for being cold-faced and ruthless; and her status is not lower than that of ordinary elders in the sect. If they dare to talk back, they may be punished even more severely and be eliminated directly. It's also possible.
As the three of them exited the courtyard. Qiu Shuang's eyes looked at Ruoshui again.
"Come in with me!" Ruoshui trembled with fright when he heard the words, and quickly followed in small steps, feeling uneasy in his heart.
Qiu Shuang walked into one side of the room and sat down on the wide chair inside. The hem of the light blue dress hangs naturally on her slender and graceful legs. The graceful lines wrap around the ankles from the toes of her snow-white shoes and continue to spread along the direction of the calves, revealing a clean and elegant beauty.
Qiu Shuang raised her head slightly and looked at Ruoshui with sharp eyes. She saw that he looked embarrassed and uneasy, like a child who made a mistake and was waiting to be scolded.
The sharpness in his eyes was instantly softened by this innocent and well-behaved look, and gradually turned soft.
"Why were you distracted just now?" Qiu Shuang asked Xiang Ruoshui kindly, like the big sister next door.
"I..." Ruoshui whined for a long time, but did not utter a single word. Although Qiu Shuang lowered his posture, the previous scene of him scolding his disciples still left a deep impression on Ruoshui, so much so that Now facing him alone, his nervous palms were sweating.
"Sit down." Qiu Shuang glanced sideways at the chair next to her and motioned for Ruoshui to sit down and talk, thinking that this might ease some of her nervousness and alienation, and allow her to have a good conversation with her so that she could complete what Elder Yuhong told her. matter.
But after Ruoshui heard this, he still just nodded and shook his head nervously, looking frightened, respectful, and flattered, and his whole body became even stiffer due to embarrassment.
Qiu Shuang sneered angrily at Ruoshui's gesture, and said with a straight face: "Is it so scary?" Ruoshui was so frightened that he waved his hands slightly.
"Then why are you so afraid of me?" Qiu Shuang became a little playful and began to tease Ruoshui. The latter's pitiful appearance made her really want to tease her, like a child encountering Ruoshui. The mentality of wanting to pinch something cute.
"I~I didn't~" Ruoshui was so nervous that he stuttered, and in a trance, he seemed to have returned to the time when he first met Lu Feng, when he could speak.
Seeing Ruoshui's helpless look on the verge of tears, Qiu Shuang stopped teasing and couldn't bear to bully this poor little guy any more.
"Elder Yuhong asked me to come look for you." Qiu Shuang said bluntly and revealed his purpose. Ruoshui looked shocked and said: "I, I will practice her explanation well." Qiu Shuang chuckled lightly,
"Don't worry, I'm not here to urge you to practice Yunying's swordsmanship." Ruoshui was stunned, blinked his cute eyes, and stared blankly, unable to understand what Qiu Shuang wanted to say.
Qiu Shuang glanced at Ruoshui's cracked tiger's mouth and said to herself: "Stretch your hand over." Ruoshui was stunned and even more stunned.
Qiu Shuang sighed helplessly. Then, while taking out the No. 1 healing potion 'Golden Wind Jade Liquid' from the storage bag, he forcefully took Ruoshui's right hand over.
"Such beautiful hands should be taken good care of." Qiu Shuang said, pouring the healing elixir in Ruoshui's hand, and using soft spiritual energy to help it slowly disappear into the wound.
Ruoshui was flattered and confused. In the past few days, she was used to the indifference of the female disciples, and she could not adapt to Qiu Shuang's contrasting care.
It wasn't until a cool breeze came from the tiger's mouth and the pain subsided that he slowly came back to his senses and said two words: "Thank you~Thank you~".
Qiu Shuang took this opportunity and directly pulled Ruoshui to sit next to her. After a brief contact, she found that for a girl like Ruoshui, kind words did not make sense. It would only make her more introverted, embarrassed to accept, and directly arrogant. Giving your own care is the most appropriate way.
Seeing Ruoshui squirming, he sat down obediently. A satisfied smile flashed across Qiu Shuang's eyes, and then she asked, "Have you gotten used to it after visiting Yunying in the past few days?" Ruoshui's expression froze, and he pursed his lips nervously, but did not respond. I don’t know how to respond.
It was impossible for her to get used to the fact that she was forced to give up Bai Ling, which she was good at, and instead just practice Yunying swordsmanship.
But with her pure heart, it was impossible for her to directly say such refuting words that she was not used to. Seeing no response, Qiu Shuang sighed secretly: "Let me tell you the truth. Elder Yuhong ordered me to come to find you. Actually, he wanted me to try to make you like this place and try to make you stay willingly." It was an understatement. However, Ruoshui was so frightened that he stood up nervously, and the chair almost fell backwards.
She waved her hands eagerly with a look of sincerity, shook her head vigorously, and said full of grievance: "Elder Yuhong made an agreement with me, and I will only stay for one year." The resistance in her heart can also be seen from the strength of her shaking head. and firmness.
Qiu Shuang seemed dissatisfied with Ruoshui's response, and said with a cold face: "Our Yunying Temple is no worse than the Renxin Academy where you are staying, and your special Five Elements pure water body can get the most perfect cultivation environment here." Ruoshui shook her head firmly and gritted her teeth: "Just one year." This was her bottom line and the basis for her agreement to Elder Yuhong's deal.
If she were asked to join Yunying Guan, she would not be willing to do so anyway. Even if Renxin Academy was worse and could not provide her with any help in her practice, she would not want to leave.
What she wants is never whether she is powerful or not! Qiu Shuang saw Ruoshui changing from his previous weakness and showing such abnormal determination. She couldn't help but look at him in surprise and asked curiously: "What did Renxin Academy promise you? How could he make you so determined?" Seeing Ruoshui lower his head and say nothing. , biting his lip stubbornly.
Qiu Shuang said aggressively: "No matter what the conditions are, whether it is resources, jade, or money, what Renxin Academy can give you, our Yunying Temple can also give you. Even based on your special physique, we will do our best. I will support you in your cultivation so that your strength can reach its limit." Ruoshui still shook his head, his eyes unwavering.
Seeing that Qiu Shuang was still waiting to speak, Ruoshui Wu took out a money bag.
"What is this?" Qiu Shuang's eyes flashed with surprise. From the opening of the palm-sized money bag, she vaguely glimpsed the objects inside, which were clearly just a few ordinary soul coins.
Even if they were all jade soul coins, they wouldn't be able to carry much. Moreover, given their current cultivation strength, they can rarely use earthly soul coins, which can be said to be worthless.
Ruoshui said softly: "This is the 30,000 soul coins that Brother Feng bought me for."
"What?" Qiu Shuang even thought that she had misheard. Seeing Ruoshui's serious look, she came back to her senses in disbelief.
"He just bought you with these 30,000 soul coins?" At this moment, Qiu Shuang felt extremely aggrieved. She looked majestic and the talent she wanted so much was actually bought for 30,000 soul coins. Bought it?
With the value of the Five Elements Pure Water, let alone 30,000 ordinary soul coins, even 30,000 Origin Stones, she felt it was worth it!
Ruoshui ignored Qiu Shuang's horror, thinking about the scene when he accepted the 30,000 soul coins, his eyes were filled with tenderness.
This was originally the price she paid for selling her body to bury her brother. She didn't think about spending it all on burying his brother, but on planning a way out for her future. She thought that if she was bought by a villain, at least she would have a chance to survive after escaping. The foundation on which we can survive.
But she never expected that she would be lucky enough to meet Lu Feng, a man who would change the trajectory of her life. so.
Although these 30,000 soul coins are not precious, in her heart, they represent the original beauty, the most precious hope given to her by God, and the most precious hope in the world.
These 30,000 soul coins were not bought for her, but for her heart!
