Chapter 10 Picking
Qiao Li and Chu Hanmo found a place with relatively few people to land.

This was Qiao Li's first time here, and she looked around curiously.

The average redbud tree is three meters high each and has a large yield. Most of the branches hang down because there are too many redbud fruits hanging on them, and they hang down to a position that is easy to reach.

Looking at this output, Qiao Li finally understood why it was opened for every disciple to pick.

Bauhinia fruit is very common, has simple effects, is not precious in itself, and has a huge yield per tree. It seems that it is given away by Tianxuanmen as a welfare.

She observed the disciples and found that some of them really wanted to pick the redbud fruits. They stretched out their hands and put them into their storage bags without looking anywhere else.

But there are also some who really want to find a partner. They stand dignifiedly under the redbud tree and look at the crowd, as if they are waiting for a chosen one to strike up a conversation.

Chu Hanmo took out two brand new storage bags and handed one to Qiao Li: "Here, let's compete to see who can pick more."

"Aren't you looking for a Taoist companion?" Qiao Li was confused.

"Silly girl," Chu Hanmo was helpless again, "What can I do if I stand there and wait? Why not do one thing seriously, maybe the other person will be attracted by my seriousness? This will kill two birds with one stone. I have gained both the Bauhinia fruit and love. If I just wait there stupidly and get nothing, and lose the Bauhinia fruit again, wouldn’t I be in a loss?”

Hearing this, Qiao Li also felt that what she said made sense. She nodded and took the storage bag: "Okay, then I will compete with you."

Chu Hanmo put her hands on her hips and smiled, looking confident of winning: "I can't compare to you in terms of cultivation, but in terms of hand speed... this is not my first time picking!"

Before Qiao Li could reply, she saw Chu Hanmo running out quickly, heading towards a place with more fruits and fewer people.

Qiao Li held the storage bag and stood there blankly, looking at the unfamiliar faces around her. She had no choice but to pick the one closest to her.

She picked a redbud fruit and held it in her hand.

There is still a thin layer of frost on the freshly picked redbud fruits, which are translucent and tender and look very appetizing.

Qiao Li put it into the storage bag and continued to pick another one.

next next.

Next next one.

……

He repeated this action for who knows how long. Qiao Li rubbed his sore arms and neck, wondering if he should find a place to rest.

She just raised her head and looked around, but she saw many pairs of eyes staring at her. Those eyes were full of inquiry and surprise, and they were obviously attracted by Qiao Li's appearance.

When they saw the way she looked up clearly, their expressions changed and they were filled with disbelief.

Apparently, they recognized her.

Qiao Li ignored these glances and walked straight to a redbud tree that had been picked almost completely. The redbud berries on it were almost gone. The few redbud fruits hanging on the tree were either not ripe or did not look good, so no one wanted to treat them. Under this tree.

Qiao Li leaned against the tree trunk, and a redbud fruit hung just above and in front of her. Because of its strange shape, it was not picked.

Inexplicably, Qiao Li stretched out his hand.

As soon as her fingertips touched the redbud fruit, another slender hand suddenly appeared and touched her almost at the same time.

Qiao Li was stunned and turned to look at the owner of this big hand in astonishment.

The person who came was wearing a dark green embroidered robe with a white tooth jade pendant tied around the waist. His face, which had not been exposed to sunlight for many years, had a translucent white skin, and his lips were smiling, and he was looking at her without blinking.

Qiao Li quickly let go and saluted hastily: "I've met Uncle Gu."

Gu Huaichun also let go at this time and leaned against the tree trunk: "Is Master Nephew Qiao here too?"

"Yes." Qiao Li did not raise his head. He suddenly remembered the talisman he gave her a month ago and thanked him again: "Thank you, uncle, for the talisman that day."

"Haha, it happened so many years ago and I'm still mentioning it."

Qiao Li raised her head, met his eyes that never left her, and asked, "Uncle Gu, are you coming to pick redbud fruits too?"

Gu Huaichun took out a storage bag and shook it: "What do you mean?" He threw it into her arms, "I gave it to you."

Qiao Li hurriedly took it and used her consciousness to sense the storage bag. She found that there were many more redbud fruits than she had picked. How could she dare to accept them? She quickly refused: "No, no, no, I can't accept them." "Just throw it away if you don't want it. If I give it to you, it's yours." Gu Huaichun still had that indifferent expression on his face.

"This..." Qiao Li felt like the storage bag in her hand was like a hot potato. She couldn't take it away or return it.

"If you feel embarrassed to accept it," Gu Huaichun picked the bad-looking redbud fruit on the tree just now, "didn't you want to pick this one just now? Then think of it as if I exchanged that bag with you for this one."

"How……"

"Just do as I say."

Qiao Li swallowed the words stuck in her throat and stared blankly at the almost pale face.

"Uncle Gu is here to see Taoist companions?"

As the leader of a sect, Gu Huaichun naturally has no shortage of Bauhinia fruits. If there is no shortage, according to what Chu Hanmo said, there is only another possibility. He is here to find Taoist companions.Qiao Li speculated this.

"Taoist companion?" Gu Huaichun thought for a moment, "It's not impossible."

"Then I won't disturb my uncle." Qiao Li answered immediately. Just as he was about to leave, he saw another acquaintance in the blink of an eye.

Under a redbud tree not far away, a handsome man stood under the tree, his peach blossom eyes full of eyes. This man was Xiao Yunli, and he was surrounded by a large circle of exquisitely dressed female disciples. He was chirping something.

The smile on Xiao Yunli's face remained unchanged, and she listened patiently to everyone's words, and from time to time had some intimate interactions with them.

Qiao Li clearly heard a female disciple's delicate voice: "Senior Brother Xiao, can you pick that redbud fruit for me? I can't reach it..."

"Of course." Xiao Yunli responded gently, jumped on the ground, and easily picked the redbud fruit.

He handed it to the female disciple and rubbed the back of her head with his big hand. The female disciple's face showed no anger at having her hair messed up. Instead, a blush appeared on her face: "Thank you, Senior Brother Xiao."

"Uncle Xiao! I want it too!"

"Senior Brother Xiao, I want it too!"

"I want it too, I want it too!"

When other female disciples saw this scene, they also started to shout. The scene was extremely interesting.

Qiao Li looked at this scene, and the thought of leaving just now disappeared, and he stood watching with interest.

From this angle, one can clearly see the expressions of most people in the audience, especially Xiao Yunli's.

She suddenly felt a little funny in her heart. Not long ago, he came to her to pick redbud fruits together, and he looked very disappointed when she rejected him. Now he was here with a group of female disciples, and it was very uncomfortable.

Thinking of the special purpose of the Bauhinia fruit, I looked back at Xiao Yunli's behavior of asking her.

Very misleading indeed.

Fortunately she didn't agree at the time.

Gu Huaichun followed her gaze and obviously saw the scene just now.

"If I remember correctly, this is your senior brother." He said slowly.

"Ah."

"It seems he is very popular with little girls."

"Indeed." Qiao Li couldn't deny it.

"What about you? Do you like him too?"

"No, he is just my senior brother."

As soon as she finished speaking, Xiao Yunli turned her head as if aware of it, and suddenly met Qiao Li's eyes.
