Seeing Xie Qingci's shyness, Qing Ying couldn't help laughing.

"Don't be shy. Brother, tell me, what did you want to call me?"

Xie Qingci breathed imperceptibly, and when she raised her face again, her face was already calm and indifferent, and even the crimson color of her earlobes faded quickly.

Qing Ying: Oh, that's amazing.

He said expressionlessly, "Qingqing."

Qingqing.

Qing Ying savored this nickname in her heart, thought it was very cute, and it had a homonym with her surname.

She said, "But isn't this nickname more suitable for you?"

"……I use?"

"That's right, if you call me Aying, I will always call you senior brother?"

Xie Qingci: "..."

She pretended to be serious: "Don't talk? I don't know what your attitude is if you don't talk. Maybe you want me to call you Mr. Xie."

Xie Qingci said calmly: "You just need to be happy."

Qing Ying stared at him without blinking, and said expectantly, "Then I want to call you Qingqing!"

What is the system?

He is an immortal from the Three Realms, and he wants to prove his position in the future, but he is often called "Qingqing" by others.

but……

"it is good."

Xie Qingci's expression did not show any liking or dislike, but his tone did not hesitate at all.

"Qingqing?" Qing Ying struck while the iron was hot, and immediately used this name.

Xie Qingci's voice was soft and slow.

"Well, I'm here."

Hey, hey, hey.

really cute.

However, this kind of nickname is the best effect if you want to attack it suddenly. If you call it every day, it will have no effect.

Taking care of her senior's precious self-esteem, Qing Ying still didn't talk about this title, but treasured it in her heart.

Next time when you are particularly happy, please share it with your brother.

Because of the matter of sharing nicknames with each other, she was in a particularly good mood throughout the day. This level of joy could not even compare to the good news that Xie's couple retired and Xie Tian was expelled from the mountain gate.

She hummed a song and packed her luggage. After packing, they would leave Guigu Sword Sect and head to Tiansheng City in Xiqi Continent to find the divine wood.

At the end of the day, she chatted with Xie Qingci.

"But Xiqi Continent is really far away from us. Even if we take a wishful boat, it takes five hours to get to Tiansheng City."

She read many posts about Xiqi Continent in the Linshui teahouse, but there was very little about Tiansheng City, most of them were heard by others, or shared by a few high-ranking disciples.

Because the atmosphere of Tiansheng City is conservative and xenophobic, the last public occasion recorded by outsiders was the ceremony of "Sacred Farmers and Seedlings" more than 60 years ago.

And if you want to ask about this kind of ancient records, asking Xie Qingci is undoubtedly the fastest choice.

"Is Xiqi Continent dangerous? Is Tiansheng City cold in September? How is Tiansheng City's customs in general? Will there be many people like Qiu Yimeng?"

"It's not dangerous. The season is opposite to ours. The day and night are the same. The customs are conservative and exclusive, but there should not be many people like Qiu Yimeng."

Qing Ying was taken aback.

So here is different from the earth?

She thought it would be the opposite of day and night, but she didn't expect it to be the opposite of the seasons.

"It's okay, I have enough clothes." Although they have magical protection, they don't need to wear a piece of clothing for four seasons.

Change your clothes, change your mood.

"Is Xiqi Continent interesting?" Qing Ying asked.

"You won't like it."

But seeing that Qing Ying was quite concerned about their purpose, Xie Qingci elaborated.

"Now Xiqi Continent is in the early spring, and it is also the time when Holy Farmer Wood reincarnates and sprouts. We went to Tiansheng City to pick the first clusters of Holy Farmer Wood's revived sprouts."

first cluster.

Qing Ying smashed it, smashed it.

This sounds very cherished, how can the locals be willing to give it?The tea room also said that there seems to be a sect guarding the Holy Farmer Wood for generations.

But since senior brother is going, let's go.

"Heal senior brother's roots first!"

She had no objection, but Xie Qingci explained a bit more: "I can only cure your natural disability if I recover completely, otherwise there will be hidden dangers anyway."

"It's okay, brother, you can arrange it."

The little girl's unfeigned trust passed to Xie Qingci, which softened his brows and eyes.

Previously, Qing Ying's terminal illness was diagnosed and treated by a witch doctor, and he gave a cure. However, Xie Qingci resumed his judgment as an immortal, but saw that this was just a way to continue life with countless precious herbs.

Even if the fate of premature death can be avoided, she will still lose her foundation, and she will never leave the soup and medicine for the rest of her life. A slightly spicy diet and a slight emotional ups and downs will all lead to the onset of the disease.

Being so vain and groundless, Xie Qingci didn't want to wrong her, but only wanted to use it for a temporary transition.

At present, there are still a lot of those herbal medicines in Bie Yue Pavilion, once every half a month, enough for Qing Ying to take for half a year.

And half a year later, he must have picked the branches and leaves of the Holy Farmer Wood and regained his full glory. By then, Qing Ying's terminal illness can be cured by his strength.

This is an important part of Xie Qingci's two-year plan.

"It's all packed." Qing Ying said, "I've checked the list, and it's absolutely fine."

"Then let's go."

"Take the secret path?"

When she first rescued Xie Qingci, she regarded Bie Yue Pavilion as a transit, because Bie Yue Pavilion, as Xie Qingci's independent cave, could open the gate to the outside world.

"No need."

Knowing Xie Qingci's thoughts, Qing Ying hesitated: "Will it be too ostentatious to go down the mountain from the right path?"

The sixty-eight foreign sects are still on the mountain. They have offended many people, and they don't know when the arrest warrants from the Three Realms will be issued to the whole world.

Xie Qingci calmly asked: "The road is smooth and smooth, why don't you leave? Whoever dares to stop him, let him come."

...

Return to Gushan.

At this time, it was the end of the morning class, and there were quite a few disciples exchanging scriptures on Changjie.

Suddenly someone raised his head and asked uncertainly, "Did I read it wrong? Who is that?"

"Hiss, thanks—"

"The girl next to him is his wife, right? They, they..."

"How did they come out like this?"

Qing Ying and Xie Qingci walked all the way, feeling the shock of countless stops.

In their eyes, the blindfolded sword cultivator is tall and slender, with a demeanor and aloofness, which makes people forget the vulgarity. Thinking of his experience in the posts and photos, it seems more arrogant.

I know you guys were shocked, and she was shocked at first too.

But who makes the sixty-eight sects too useless, even if they join forces, they can't make the senior feel a sense of crisis, so they definitely don't want to take the path.

But among those elders and disciples, some whispered, some took pictures quietly, and some sneaked away, but none of them dared to come up and ask Xie Qingci loudly, and forcibly stopped the two of them.

Just kidding, Xie Qingci had already said that the grievances and grievances were written off that day, but if there is any intrusion, it is the enemy of life and death. Who would dare to risk their own life?

In the end, everyone just silently watched two figures, a man and a woman, walk towards Yujing Terrace calmly.

Xie Qingci is about to open the gate of heaven and leave!

Everyone knows this.

But only watching.

Can only watch.

until

"Brother, sister, take care all the way!"

I don't know who yelled in the crowd.

This sentence seemed to break some kind of taboo, and more voices followed.

"Treasure all the way!"

"Brother, I have always believed in you!"

More and more people came to hear the news through the tea room posts, some even cried bitterly, and the sentiment of parting in the atmosphere became more and more sentimental.

Everyone knows that this parting is mostly because they will never see each other again.

Returning to Xie Qingci, the Chief Chief of the Ancient Sword Sect, from now on, only Xie Qingci remains.

The countless gazes looking at them contained admiration, regret, fear, and relief... Xie Qingci did not stop at all.

He never looked back.

Qing Ying was overwhelmed by the atmosphere

Impressed, he stopped, turned his head and smiled and waved to the disciples who saw him off.

As a result, there were even louder cries, and many disciples rushed up to try to stuff her.

What spirit fruit, talisman - even a half-written exercise book!

Qing Ying quickly declined to persuade them to return, lest they would be retaliated by Qiu Yimeng afterwards.

After doing all this, Qing Ying quickly followed Xie Qingci, and at some point, the white-clothed sword cultivator had already fallen behind her by a large margin.

It was midsummer when she entered the mountain, and she was a helpless orphan holding the columbarium.

But when they came out of the mountain, they were already stepping on the yellowing leaves.

Autumn is refreshing.

Qing Ying looked up, and after the auspicious clouds gathered and dispersed, the plaque on the majestic white jade gate was revealed.

Return to the ancient sword sect.

The four big characters are written by the ancient sword master with sword energy, very majestic.

She still remembered how excited she was when she first came back to the Ancient Sword Sect and passed by this plaque. At that time, she even reached out her hand curiously to touch Xiangyun.

But now, she will no longer be in the mood to touch Xiangyun.

Qing Ying stretched out her hand and said goodbye softly to the place she once regarded as "home".

"goodbye."

Yongquan Palace.

The palace, where the spring water kept din-dong all the year round, was completely silent at the moment, only the sound of the woman's heart-piercing cough.

"Cough cough cough...cough cough...what did you say?!"

Rong Ruyu lowered her eyes: "Xie Qingci and his wife have already left through the Tianmen. In order to prevent the disciple from being killed or injured, I did not send anyone to stop him."

waste!

"Cough cough cough..."

Qiu Yimeng hated scolding in her heart, but she knew that Rong Ruyu's handling was not wrong, Guigu Sword Sect did not have the same fighting power as Xie Qingci.

Brother is not injured, maybe he can fight Xie Qingci, but even her husband doesn't care, how can she have the confidence to let brother risk life and death for the face of returning to the ancient sword sect?

The backbone of the family who came here this time was all broken by Xie Qingci on the day of the martial arts performance. At that time, my brother even tried his best to protect her and treated her with all kindness.

Qiu Chengfeng next to him saw that his sister's face was flushed abnormally due to coughing, and he couldn't help but feel distressed.

"Girl Ruyu is right, don't take it to heart."

As Qiu Yimeng's elder brother, he had to stand by her side and consolidate his sister's authority when Guigu Sword Sect's hearts were fluctuating and the couple in charge were greatly questioned.

But it is certain that Qiu Yimeng retreats temporarily, fortunately they still have Rong Ruyu as a pawn to step up to.

Qiu Chengfeng said politely to Rong Ruyu: "Go and do your work first."

Rong Ruyu nodded slightly, and naturally exited the palace.

After she left, Qiu Chengfeng said to the shadow: "Xing Nan, you continue to keep an eye on her, and you can help her if necessary, but you must prevent him from having a different heart."

The boy said coldly: "Yes."

Then, his voice faded away.

Xing Nan was born under the Qiu family, and Qiu Chengfeng regards him as his own family.

"It's a pity that you always suppressed Xing Nan in the past, making him less famous, otherwise you wouldn't need to use Rong Ruyu as an outsider now."

"Brother, do you want me to support another Xie Qingci?" Qiu Yimeng asked quietly.

Her face was pale, white gauze was covered in front of her eyes, her hair was scattered and messy, and she was very thin, looking extremely haggard.

"Now you just need to rest quietly and don't think about worrying things. Didn't I send someone to take care of you?"

"Don't think about it, how can you not think about it?" Qiu Yimeng wailed, "Brother, I'm going to die!"

Qiu Chengfeng knew about his sister's situation.

"...The ceremony has reached this point of urgency?"

"Sixty more days."

Qiu Yimeng said in a low voice: "If you can't get the bones of the Chen family, complete the ceremony. Sister, I... I'm afraid I won't survive this year."

Qiu Chengfeng looked solemn.

"Don't be afraid, I, a member of Xi Qi, have no reason to abandon blood relatives."

"I have told my parents about you, and they will arrange it at home."

"Xie Qingci must want to get the Holy Farmer Wood, repair his broken bones, and restore his eyes."

"But in Xi Qi——"

Qiu Chengfeng sneered.

"What do you want to do, let him do it?"

Yufeng Jue can travel thousands of miles a day, but there are boundless seas separating the four major continents. If you want to cross the continents by yourself, you must have the spiritual support of the out-of-body stage.

The choice of most people is to take a wishful boat.

"Wow."

Qing Ying looked up at the colorful boat in the sky, which looked like a giant whale, and let out a very ignorant exclamation.

This is the largest wishful boat field in Donghua Continent, with more than 50 boats leading to all parts of the Three Realms.

There were people coming and going in the boat yard—but there were ghosts and monsters in it, and no one stopped to mock her, because there were too many mortals who admired her so much.

The way of comprehension is infinitely mysterious, and it is natural for ordinary people to lament.

——No one thought that Qing Ying was a monk.

Xie Qingci asked: "Didn't you read the description of Ruyi Boat in the book?"

Most monks can learn about the existence of Ruyi Boat through various channels. In order not to lose face, most of them can control their surprise when they see it for the first time.

"But it's really spectacular. I said what I thought, and I didn't make a lot of noise..."

The corners of Qing Ying's lips curled slightly, thinking that Xie Qingci was embarrassing her.

"Oh, just read the book carefully."

——It turned out that the brother just suspected that she didn't study hard because of this.

As expected of you, Xie Qingci.

Xie Qingci raised her face slightly, feeling the powerful wind blowing when the Ruyi boat drove the airflow, as if seeing the radiant boat.

He said softly: "Students of Tianji Palace, some inventions are still valuable."

"Brother, do you know anyone from Tianji Palace?"

Qing Ying knows that Tianji Palace is a well-known force in the Three Realms, and most of the people in the gate are obsessed with inventing weapons and creating many mechanism secret treasures.

"I've seen it before."

Xie Qingci is also very familiar with the process of buying tickets, and even because of his blindness, as a caregiver, the two of them share a half-price discount.

Qing Ying:!!!

She thought her brother was very sensitive about her blindness.

Xie Qingci seemed to be very proficient in buying tickets, boarding the boat, and finding seats. He even ordered a glass of iced juice for Qing Ying when the two of them were on the boat.

"Rest after drinking the juice. It will take at least five hours to go to Xiqi Continent. If you are not in good health and don't nourish your energy, it will be hard work if you don't acclimatize."

"okay."

Out of a precise assessment of the situation, both of them were very relaxed.

There is no other way, if you want to blame it, you can only blame Qiu Yimeng for being too useless.

Qing Ying and Rong Ruyu's joint counterattack has completely smashed Donghua Continent's return to the ancient forces.At least until the Xiqi Continent, those guys dare to revive and manipulate forces to make some small moves.

However, although there was no psychological pressure, Qing Ying, who was riding a wishful boat for the first time, was still a little excited, and tried not to affect others' looking around and touching small ornaments.

An hour later, she gradually felt bored and sleepy, and fell into a deep sleep.

"Wake up, Ying, we're here."

...

Qingying opened her eyes in a daze, and heard Xie Qingci's clear voice.

The cheek seems to have been pinched,

She muttered: "Brother, did you call me?"

"Well, it's time to disembark at Tiansheng City."

"Okay." She rubbed her eyes, and when she felt her mind was clear, she got up quickly and caught up with Xie Qingci, "Did you tell me to set it up just now?"

"?"

Qing Ying excitedly said, "Did you call me Ah Ying just now?"

Xie Qingci remained expressionless: "No."

"Tell me."

The two chatted and laughed, and followed the flow of people towards the majestic city not far ahead.

Different from the Donghua Continent, the Xiqi Continent is in the late winter and early spring at this time, and the ground is full of steep cold branches, which makes the pedestrians in a hurry and the city more and more majestic.

Here is one of the famous Xiqi Continent cities, Tiansheng City

It is said that in ancient times, Shennong taught the people how to harvest crops here, hence the name.

Qing Ying inadvertently glanced across the crowd and frowned slightly.

She couldn't help but wonder: "Is it cold?"

Although the spring is cold, Qing Ying's autumn clothes don't need to be weak, and she feels good.

But the pedestrians around, regardless of gender, why are they all covered tightly?

It would be reasonable to say that mortals should wear thicker clothes in late winter and early spring, but it can't be that nearly 90% of the people present are mortals, right?

In the crowd, she looks like a different kind in the light sari.

At this moment, an old man walked by the two of them, leaving a whisper in a "just right" voice.

"shameless!"

Qing Ying:???

She almost suspected that she had heard it wrong, was she talking about someone else?

But when she raised her eyes, she found that the old man was staring at her with disgust, while the other passers-by hurriedly looked away from her, as if to avoid suspicion.

She didn't miss any sensitive parts, she even covered her arms with white gauze, why was she scolded?

Looking at the attitudes of these people, she thought she was wearing a swimsuit.

She raised her finger to point at the figure of that person, faced Xie Qingci, and opened her mouth without knowing how to evaluate: "This..."

Xie Qingci's expression had been cold for a moment, and Qing Ying could almost feel the piercing killing intent on him.

——He never cared about his insults, but he couldn't insult her for no reason.

Qing Ying was also angry at first, but seeing that her senior brother was about to draw his sword, she hurriedly tried to persuade her to fight.

"It's okay, it's okay, maybe the old man is not used to seeing young and beautiful girls."

Now she knows why Xie Qingci was so sure that she would not like Xiqi Continent in the first place.

This is a bad start...it is really bad luck.

As soon as I came up, I met a conservative old man from Xi Qi.

Qing Ying was scolded for no reason, she was dissatisfied in her heart, but seeing that everyone covered her tightly, and when the old man insulted her, no one objected or even agreed, she still had some idea.

Qing Ying silently added a half-arm.

That's all right!

"If you don't want to wear it, you don't have to wear it, and no one will talk about it again."

Seeing that Xie Qingci's face was slightly cold, she said optimistically: "It's okay, I'm not in good health anyway, so I won't get sick if I dress warmly."

"Okay, don't be angry, I still want to have fun with you here for two days."

Anyway, she finally coaxed Xie Qingci well.

Looking at the city gate close in front of her eyes, Qing Ying secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Go to the city quickly, and then find an inn to stay, let her sleep and then go out for a stroll at night.

However

"The city lord has an order. The birth of divine wood is imminent. Men and women who are seven years old and above, and accompanied by elders who are not fifty years old, are not allowed to enter the city in pairs! If you want to enter the city, you need to show your marriage certificate, Taoist certificate or marriage card."

"Unmarried women over the age of seven are not allowed to enter the city!"

ah?

Qing Ying blurted out: "Holy Farmer Wood sprouts, what does it have to do with young women?"

Besides, where did she and her senior brother get those tokens?

Qing Ying can guarantee that those couples who have this certificate and that certificate are probably not as loyal as the two of them.

The city guards didn't raise their eyelids, and they still refused to look directly at a young woman like her.

He solemnly announced: "Since there is no proof, you are a promiscuous man and woman. You are not allowed to enter the city and defile the divine wood."

Qing Ying frowned.

The two of them are willing to follow the rules to save face. If they really want to enter, do they need to line up at the city gate?

"Besides, if there is no matchmaker and a man and a woman, it is best to find a way out by yourself before nightfall."

The city guard's voice was contemptuous and contemptuous: "Otherwise you will die in an unknown place at night, and the sacred soil will be dirty for nothing."

It is dusk now.

Dusk, the hour of magic.

The words of the city guards added a strange color for no reason.

Qing Ying: Hiss, it seems a little scary.

A little impatient, but she stole a glance at Xie Qingci.

sword cultivator awe-inspiring flat eyes

quiet.

Oh, then don't be cowardly.

They were the last row of the crowd. When Qing Ying saw the guards, she waited for the two of them to leave before closing the stall, and immediately stopped moving.

The man's contempt and repulsion was irritating.

"What would happen if you were frivolous and shameless?"

"Maybe it will attract evil spirits." The city guard said indifferently, "but the guards will not save an unfaithful daughter."

An unfaithful daughter??

"Is that what you mean?"

Qing Ying printed a kiss on the back of her hand, and then pressed the back of her hand to Xie Qingci's lips.

She laughed back in anger: "Is this considered infidelity?"

Of course not.

However, just when the city guards were about to open their mouths to expel——

The dark wind blew over the back of everyone's neck, the light suddenly dimmed, and the already precarious sunset dissipated in an instant.

Everyone's hearts were tense, and something seemed to be coming.

The city guard was terrified, and seemed to realize what it was: "Come on, hurry up—"

Xie Qingci looked up and "looked" at it.

It was calm for a moment.

The evil was gone without a trace.

Xie Qingci calmly said: "Excuse me."

"What did you just say?"

"It's too windy, I can't hear you clearly."
