Fairies Are Fierce

Chapter 384 Sincere words

"Gujiji~~Gujiji~~"

In the elegant courtyard, the ball-like dumplings squatted on the window sill of the side room, watching Aunt Yunzhi cutting the fruit. She also followed her mother's instructions and tried her best to look like she wasn't greedy in front of outsiders, humming a silly ditty. Son, causing Yunzhi to shake her head and laugh.

In the tall building not far away, there were also bursts of laughter:

"Senior Sister Qiu, I really didn't lie to you. Mr. Zuo stood on the stage and said, 'I have a sword, but I haven't shown it to anyone...'. The expression on Xiaoshan's ancestor's face was very interesting. It felt like he was saying, 'You There is still a sword? Your family can't open a sword village, why is it endless...'"

"Did Zuo Jianxian really have a sword at that time, or was it the ancestor of Zhe Xiaoshan?"

"Of course it's true. Mr. Zuo has always said that one thing is true. Later, when he chopped down the ancestor of Shuangfeng, didn't that sword come out..."

…

On the first floor of the high-rise building is Miss Qiu's living room. Although she is in Posu Island and is only a temporary place to stay, Miss Qiu's identity is here and she is the top Immortal Venerable here, so the living environment is naturally not bad.

In the living room, there are carved beams and painted buildings, decorated with several pieces of ink and wash porcelain. Behind the seats on both sides, there are two screens with landscape pictures painted on them. Take a look at time to recall your hometown.

Miss Qiu, who was dressed in a homely white dress, sat at the main seat, with a cup of tea with an elegant fragrance in her hand, with a peaceful smile in her eyes, listening to Qiu Tao vividly explaining various stories all the way from Yuyao Island.

Xie Qiutao has always been acquainted with each other, and has always regarded herself as Miss Qiu's junior sister. At this time, she is very lively and talkative, just like a little girl who just came back from a trip and saw her sister.

Zuo Lingquan was holding a teacup, sitting on the other side of the tea table, watching the two girls gossip about his experience of pretending. To be honest, his face was a bit uneasy, but it was not easy to interrupt. Except for occasionally bowing his head to take a sip of tea, he never Say as many words as you want.

Miss Qiu came here today because she wanted him to join the gang, and accompanied him across the Snow Wolf Mountains to investigate the movements of alien races, and slaughtered a few Great Monsters by the way to avenge some of Miss Qiu's fellow clansmen.

Zuo Lingquan agreed, but it was impossible to drag Miss Qiu away. Such a big matter had to be discussed by the high-level righteous people, and they would only be allowed to leave after they agreed.

Waiting here and not going back at this time, it was Miss Qiu who informed Huang Yuhe, the person in charge of Zhengdao, who was Miss Qiu's uncle, and was waiting for the elder's reply.

Although Miss Qiu is over a hundred years old, placed among the Immortal Venerables on the top of the mountain, she is really young and pink at this age.

Like other proud people of heaven, Miss Qiu used to only practice and experience, and she didn't talk much.

The two of them were standing under the eaves and chatting about Ling Ye's affairs, but Zuo Lingquan was not good at exchanging shallow words, and he couldn't show affection in front of Miss Qiu, so after a few words, the topic was gone, so Qiutao just talked about it. Came to interrupt and smooth things over.

Miss Qiu was sitting on the main seat and had been listening to Qiutao's words. When she talked about the Shuangfeng ancestor, she felt something in her heart and asked:

"I heard from Shangguan Baxue that Lord Peach Blossom seems to have come to Posuo Island; Lord Peach Blossom should have followed Zuo Jianxian all the time, right? I have only been in Nine Sects for more than ten years, and I have never seen her before."

Zuo Lingquan heard "old man" and thought about how he rubbed Yingying's little heart to the point of flooding yesterday, and felt a little weird, and responded:

"Senior Taohua suffered some minor injuries in order to protect me at Tuofeng Ridge. He is currently recuperating outside. He should be able to see you in a few days."

Miss Qiu was a little curious and asked:

"Senior Peach Blossom has always lived in seclusion, and basically only cares about the affairs of the Nine Sects. I really didn't expect to be able to come out to protect Zuo Jianxian this time... Well, Zuo Jianxian should be closer to the Valkyrie. I heard that the Valkyrie and Peach Blossom The relationship between seniors... I'm quite weird."

Zuo Lingquan can't say, 'Sister Yingying fell in love with me, so she came out with me.' To this, he could only respond:

"Senior Shangguan is inconvenient to leave the Nine Sects, maybe because he asked Lord Peach Blossom. In fact, I don't need anyone to protect me, but my elders are worried."

"The elders have good intentions. After all, too many geniuses die young. My mother..."

When Miss Qiu said this, a hint of complexity flashed in her eyes, she stopped her words in time and changed her words:

"My father is like this. He is afraid that something will happen to me outside, and he wants me to report to him three times a day; in fact, my father and I are in the same realm, he is in the Late Stage of the Spiritual Realm, and I am only in the early stage. If we really fight, it may not be my opponent. How can you protect me?"

Miss Qiu's father is naturally Qiu Fengqing, the sword-wielding elder of Jing Terrace.

Zuo Lingquan was a little surprised when he heard this sentence at first, and thought to himself: Qiu Dajian's immortality is so low?

But after a moment's thought, he realized that it wasn't that Qiu Fengqing's moral conduct was low, but that his moral conduct was already a bit high now.

"Sword Immortal Qiu is the backup lord of the Nine Sects. To be able to call Lu Jianchen brothers is not as simple as the level of the realm. Miss Qiu said this, I am afraid that she underestimated Sword Immortal Qiu."

Miss Qiu knew that her biological father was very powerful, but she still couldn't let go of the fact that she didn't stop her mother. She didn't want to talk about it, so she just laughed.

Xie Qiutao had a rough understanding of Miss Qiu's parents, and couldn't help but think of her parents who were separated when she was young, and her eyes showed a hint of loss.

However, Xie Qiutao has always been optimistic. No matter how bitter he felt, he didn't want others to know, so he changed the subject in time and said with a smile:

"By the way, I just remembered that Mr. Zuo showed off his great power in Qianqiu Yuefu. It seems that he can..."

Halfway through Xie Qiutao's words, he suddenly noticed from the corner of his eye that Zuo Lingquan's face was ashen!

Qiu Tao sensed something was wrong and reacted instantly - "The Cottage Sword Classic" belongs to Miss Qiu's mother, and Mr. Zuo must give it to him if he tells it!

As soon as Mr. Zuo gives it, if Sister Lingye goes back and asks, she will probably not see Mr. Zuo tomorrow!

Xie Qiutao realized the problem and quickly changed his words:

"I got a guqin that made Qingxiao Hewei. Do you want me to play it for Senior Sister Qiu?"

Miss Qiu happened to be in no mood to chat, so she nodded naturally.

Then Qiu Tao took out his guqin and started playing cotton...

Dang Dang Dang~~~——

After the three of them chatted for a long time, there was finally movement in the garden, and a figure landed outside the tall building.

Zuo Lingquan turned around and looked around - the person who came was a man wearing a blue gown, his age was elusive, and there was an ancient bronze sword hanging on his waist.

Miss Qiu stood up quickly:

"Third uncle, why did you come here in person?"

As soon as Xie Qiutao heard the address, he knew that the person coming was Huang Yuhe, the commander-in-chief of the Zhengdao side. He stopped playing cotton and was about to stand up to greet him. The same was true for Zuo Lingquan.

Huang Yuhe is one of the sons of Huang Chao Ancestor. He has been stationed in Wangchuan City all year round. He has not only come here in the past two years. Although he has been staying in this wild land, he was born in a wealthy family of the top immortals since he was a child. His temperament and conversation are very elegant. Before entering the door, he said with a smile:

"Miss Xie, you don't have to get up. Qing Xiao He Weeping This Qin, Huang has only seen it a few times in books. It is said that it is on par with Yang Shen's 'Withered Wood and Dragon's Song'. When I heard it today, it was indeed extraordinary. "

Xie Qiutao felt embarrassed by the compliment:

"Huang Jianxian won the prize, I just played blindly, how can I show the depth of this piano."

"Hey, there's no need to be self-effacing. At least you can play it much better than Niu Niu. Back then, Niu Niu played with Yang Shen's Dead Wood Dragon's Roar. She loved the piano so much that Yang Shen almost had a knot in her heart. It is said that in private He also scolded the ancestor, 'How did you teach your granddaughter? Why didn't I see you lending your sword to Niu Niu to cut vegetables?'..."

"laugh--"

Xie Qiutao couldn't hold it back and laughed directly.

Zuo Lingquan was also stunned.

Miss Qiu originally had a cool temperament, but when she heard her uncle reveal her shorts, she couldn't stand it any longer, and there was a rare hint of embarrassment on her face:

"Third uncle, where did you hear the rumors? When did Yang Shen say this?"

"What your aunt said in her letter, I don't know whether it's true or not."

Huang Yuhe smiled heartily, entered the living room, and looked at Zuo Lingquan:

"Zuo Xiaoyou's name is very familiar to Huang. I didn't expect Perfect Being to be so handsome. Who will dare to say 'God treats all things equally' in the future? Huang has to take Zuo Xiaoyou out and show them what God means." eccentric……"

Zuo Lingquan raised his hand and saluted: "Huang Jianxian, there is no need to be so polite. We are just young people. If we praise you any more, we will be in vain."

Huang Yuhe came here specially, obviously not just to praise others. He came to the main seat and sat down, suppressed his smile and sighed softly:

"Niuniu just said she wanted to cross Snow Wolf Mountain. I have discussed it with Yang Shen and Ancestor, and the Valkyrie has also been relieved..."

Miss Qiu was afraid that the Immortal Lords would not agree, so she asked:

"Grandpa, what did they say?"

"The Valkyrie was straightforward and said, 'Life or death is determined by fate, let the young people make their own way.' But the ancestors and Yang Shen did not dare to indulge the younger generations like this."

Huang Yuhe said earnestly: "You must understand that there are only so many good seedlings of the righteous path. Like Zuo Xiaoyou, one may not appear in a thousand years; now that the Immortal Lord is standing up for you, you have been damaged. It seems that it will not affect the overall situation, but in a thousand years After that, the righteousness is in decline, and there are no people like you to carry the leadership. Not only one or two sects will be affected, but the entire human race."

Miss Qiu knew what she would say, and she was almost used to hearing it:

"Who among the top ten Immortal Lords were not killed from the blood sea of ​​mountains of corpses? If you are afraid and don't move forward, you won't be able to reach a thousand years later. How can you resist Daliang's statement?"

Huang Yuhe did not deny this, and nodded slightly:

"That's what I said, but you have to be careful about how to proceed. You are more outspoken and not... well... how should I put it? If you were half as cautious as Dongfang Xu, how could your third uncle care about your affairs? Have you ever seen Yang Shen take care of Dongfang Xu?"

Miss Qiu said displeasedly: "Dongfang Xu is not cautious, but timid in doing things. If I am like him, will I be able to shoulder the responsibility in the future?"

"It's impossible to say for sure. To put it bluntly, in the spiritual path, you still have to compete with others to live longer and survive all the Fellow Daoists. Even if you can't become an Immortal Lord, your status will not be much lower."

When Huang Yuhe said this, he looked at Zuo Lingquan again:

"Niuniu's character is not smooth enough. I am really worried about being my third uncle when she comes out. Zuo Xiaoyou..."

Zuo Lingquan immediately understood, cupped his hands and said:

"Don't worry Huang Jianxian, I have always acted steadily and will remind Miss Qiu."

I bother--

Huang Yuhe's eyelids twitched and he thought to himself: You call yourself steady? Going through Luo Jian Mountain alone and killing the ancestors with two swords, I guess you are a very brave person; if you are considered to be prudent in Transcending Tribulation at Youhuang Peak Battlefield, you can kill two Jade-level Great Monsters, even ten Immortal Lords will have to do it. Consider yourself a coward.

Do you still remind Niuniu?

If Niuniu followed you, I would be grateful to God for burning high incense and being calm if you didn't lead me to Kuibingzhou...

Huang Yuhe had to have a strong mind to prevent himself from acting strangely. He chuckled:

"Zuo Xiaoyou is also funny in what he says. Huang knows that Zuo Xiaoyou has achieved what he is today, and he is by no means a reckless person. But Zuo Xiaoyou wants to understand the principle of 'the tree is as beautiful as the forest, but the wind will destroy it'."

Zuo Lingquan nodded slightly.

"After the battle at Snow Wolf Mountain, the Youying alien race will not remain silent. According to past practice, they will definitely target Zuo Xiaoyou in the future."

Huang Yuhe sighed softly:

"Although some words are inappropriate, as Niuniu's elder, I still have to say: In the current situation, it is best for Zuo Xiaoyou to stay in Wangchuan City and stand still; if you want to go out, then Niuniu will not do any good with you; Niuniu has such an upright personality that she may lose her life in order to cover your retreat..."

Miss Qiu looked dissatisfied:

"Third uncle, what are you talking about? Who of the monks who can come to the Posu Continent doesn't hang their heads on their belts? The aliens are targeting Zuo Jianxian. I have the ability to cover his retreat. Even if I die in battle, shouldn't I? Because I don’t dare to go with him because I’m afraid of death, what’s the difference between me and the evil heretic who betrays his trust and abandons his comrades?”

Huang Yuhe raised his hand slightly: "Third uncle is not preventing you from passing, but he is just reminding you of the risks of this trip. If you really want to go deep inside to explore the enemy's situation, it is best to travel lightly. Bao Lanshan and the others will split up and pretend to be you. Wander around the periphery to provide cover for you. This way, you will not be easily targeted by the aliens. Moreover, if you lose control and start a dispute with the aliens in your inner circle, and the aliens come out to encircle and suppress them, it will not be possible for Bao Lanshan and the others to be killed. Come on in, do you understand what I mean?"

Zuo Lingquan nodded slightly and understood what Huang Yuhe meant - they were isolated and helpless on this trip, and they were targeted by foreigners. If something happened, there would be no return; Miss Qiu was too loyal, and she might have sacrificed her life to protect him, Let him think carefully.

Zuo Lingquan thought about it for a while and then said:

"In the battle between good and evil, someone has to step forward to explore the way. In the past, this person would definitely be called 'Shangguan Yutang'; as a junior, I am under the care of senior Shangguan, so there is no reason to be second to others. Since this trip is quite risky , it’s not appropriate for Miss Qiu to follow you, so I’ll go alone.”

Xie Qiutao also nodded: "That's right, Mr. Zuo and I have been through all kinds of storms and waves. We know how to advance and retreat. How can we not dare to show our heads because of being noticed by the aliens. Mr. Zuo and I will go on this trip. Senior Sister Qiu will be stationed at Wangchuan City. Better."

Miss Qiu was a little anxious and said quickly:

"Zuo Jianxian, Miss Xie, what are you talking about? I am not a person who is afraid of war. Third uncle, I know you care about me, but for a swordsman, if you don't die upright when the time comes, even if you survive, you will It’s nothing more than a walking corpse. I’ve made up my mind, you don’t need to say these self-destructive words.”

Seeing this, Huang Yuhe sighed softly and looked at Zuo Lingquan

"Since Niuniu has made up her mind, Huang will not say more. After leaving, Niuniu's safety will be pinned on Zuo Jianxian."

"Huang Jianxian's words are true. Righteous cultivators rely on mutual support to eliminate demons. If Miss Qiu follows and practices in my way, she should rely on Miss Qiu."

…

A few people chatted for a while, Zuo Lingquan confirmed the departure time, took Qiutao, and Tuantuan, who had eaten outside, and stood up to say goodbye.

Miss Qiu stood at the door to say goodbye. After the two left, she turned around and looked at Huang Yuhe who was sitting drinking tea with a slightly annoyed expression:

"Third uncle, why are you always exposing my shortcomings today and why are you trying to back me down? You know clearly that I will advance and retreat with Fellow Daoist and don't care about life or death, yet you still say these words deliberately. What should I do if Zuo Jianxian is coldhearted and looks down on me? ?”

Huang Yuhe's expression turned into that of a gentle elder, and he said softly:

"I just talked with my ancestor, and he commented on Zuo Lingquan, saying that he has no problem with the general direction, but he cares too much about the people around him to the point of being 'selfish'; if one day he encounters a choice, in order to protect the people around him, he may take the right path In his eyes, it’s nothing.”

Miss Qiu sat down on the chair: "Isn't this wrong? The world says, 'Where can a country come from without a family?' If you practice one way, you can't even protect the people around you, so what does the 'righteous way' you defend mean? ?”

Huang Yuhe was stunned for a moment, but he felt like he was enlightened by his niece's words. He thought about it, nodded and said:

"That's true. But the key point is, are you someone close to him?"

"..."

Miss Qiu blinked and understood what her third uncle meant.

"You are nothing to Zuo Lingquan. If there is a real risk, all he can do is 'do his best' instead of risking his life to protect each other."

Huang Yuhe looked at Miss Qiu and sighed:

"The third uncle said these useless long words to deepen your impression of weakness in his heart and make him have a sense of 'responsibility' for you. In this way, when faced with a choice, even if you don't leave, he won't be able to leave you. If Knowing that you are of high moral character and not caring about his 'temporary forbearance', wouldn't he be able to run away with peace of mind when something goes wrong?"

Miss Qiu understood her third uncle’s ‘good intentions’, but she was still unhappy:

"Third uncle, when people of the right way work together, they should be honest and honest. How can they make these twists and turns behind their backs?"

"You are my niece. My third uncle can't stop you from doing what you want to do, but it is impossible for you to expect your third uncle to treat you and Zuo Lingquan equally. Your third uncle just protects you and hopes that your survival rate will be higher than others. "

Huang Yuhe sighed softly: "If Zuo Lingquan had not already had a Taoist companion, my third uncle would have just said that he intended to betroth you to him. With Zuo Lingquan's character, he would never leave his fiancée behind, even if he didn't even have a single horoscope. of……"

fiancée?

Miss Qiu was shocked: "Third uncle! As a righteous elder, can you pay attention to your identity when you speak? If outsiders hear these words, how can I walk outside in the future?"

"Can't Third Uncle speak his true feelings in front of my nephew? Your uncles and aunts just dote on you. If they hadn't known that Zuo Lingquan had a Taoist companion, he wouldn't have thought about it again when he went to Juejian Cliff. Now that he's gone, you can lend him the sword-washing pool to wash his feet. It doesn't matter if your grandpa doesn't agree. In front of outsiders, your grandpa is the 'Sword God'; in front of your uncle, he is my father. I can't do anything... …”

Miss Qiu blushed when her third uncle said:

"Third uncle, Zuo Lingquan already has a Taoist companion. What's the point of saying all this besides messing with my mind?"

"Well, there is no such thing as two women serving one husband in the spiritual path. Zuo Lingquan is too good and a swordsman..."

Miss Qiu was completely annoyed and stood up:

"Third uncle! Even if I, Qiu Youyou, die, I will never be able to serve the same husband as Shangguan Lingye. Don't even think about it."

Huang Yuhe observed Qiu Niuniu's expression and nodded after a moment, with a look of relief on his face:

"You can say this, and Third Uncle will be relieved after this trip. I'm afraid that you are too young, and after meeting and working with such talents as Zuo Lingquan, you will be moved by ordinary hearts and forget your identity. You are the Sword God's My granddaughter, in terms of talent and status, is no worse than Valkyrie's apprentice. It would be a big joke if she went to serve the same husband as Valkyrie's apprentice."

? ?

What a mess...

Qiu Youyou was puzzled, and she really couldn't figure out what her third uncle meant by all the twists and turns, so she simply stopped talking and turned around and left the living room.

"well……"

Huang Yuhe held the tea cup and waited for Miss Qiu to leave before he stopped smiling and revealed a bit of sadness, thinking to himself:

"Your mother was also so stubborn back then. She married a young sword cultivator from Dongzhou, the legitimate daughter of the Sword God. She couldn't help but persuade her, so my ancestor had to call Qiu Boyue ancestor... I hope you, girl, can really do that. Go ahead and make a living..."
