Chapter 53
The next day, Qiao Nian thought that Ao Yan would come to see her, but unexpectedly, she didn't see anyone from him all day.
Qiao Nian didn't think too much about it.
It would be better if he didn't come, and it would be uncomfortable for many people to watch her.
What's more, Ao Yan is a flirtatious person who likes to make troubles. In the devil world, cats hate dogs, and she doesn't bother to deal with them.
She lives in the dormitory to enjoy herself.
There are many rules and regulations in the immortal sect, and the life of cultivating immortals is boring.
It was very painful for her to be mixed with a monster.
Fortunately, the heroine she pretended to be is the flower of Gaoling. She doesn't talk much, has a paralyzed face, and likes to be quiet, so it's not easy to reveal her secrets when acting.
She and Lu Jue lived far away from the main peak and lived in Ranzhu Mountain, and they hardly saw outsiders.
She only needs to pretend to be practicing in closed doors, and she can hide in the house freely, eat snacks, read story books, and sleep late.
Lu Jue is innocent and well-behaved, and will not doubt anything.
Let him practice, and he will diligently find a place to practice without disturbing her, which is very trouble-free.
Leisure time is easy.
Qiao Nian read the storybook for more than ten days in the dormitory, and double practiced with Lu Jue twice, but Ao Yan never showed up.
Qiao Nian felt something was wrong.
With Ao Yan's ostentatious and restless temperament, how could he not come to see her for more than ten days?
What the hell is he doing?
Ran out to hook up with the female disciple of Xianmen?
Qiao Nian was worried that he would go out to make troubles, and remembering that she had handed him over to Lu Jue, she planned to ask Lu Jue.
In the woods, leaves are falling like rain.
Lu Jue was practicing his sword.
The young man was handsome and dressed in white clothes better than snow. His set of sword moves flowed like clouds and flowing water. He was elegant and yet fierce. He looked like a master swordsman.
Qiao Nian was extremely impressed.
Because even her master doesn't know this set of sword techniques at all.
It is completely self-taught by the apprentice!
Since she brought Lu Jue back ten years ago, she hasn't taught him the magic of the fairy gate, because she doesn't know it either.
She just threw him a bunch of books on immortal cultivation techniques and asked him to study them by himself.
After all, the original owner came to Xianmen as an undercover agent to deceive him, and he can't learn anything better.
But the male lead is the male lead, extremely talented, born with immortal bones, and those immortal skills are engraved in his bones.
So he learned by himself without a teacher, and he learned well by himself, not at all inferior to those heaven's favored ones on the main peak.
Qiao Nian was very satisfied with the target of this mission, because Lu Jue's gentle, kind, hard-working appearance made people feel at ease.
In the original book, even if such a young man knew the truth, he would just sever the master-student relationship with her disheartened and kindly spare her life.
He will not love her too much like Lu Chen in the first world and cannot let go, nor will he hate her too much and be paranoid like Yu Ting in the second world.
He will succeed to the position of Emperor of Heaven, and the emperor naturally has a heart for the common people and will not fall into the love of his children.
If there is no accident, she will be able to complete the project in three months, waiting for the notification of the success of the mission.
"Master..."
The boy turned his head and saw her, his eyes lit up, the pupils were dark, like the eyes of a cute dog.
Qiao Nian's tone was light and soft: "Your swordsmanship is well practiced."
Although she didn't know what was good about it, it was always right to praise him.
Hearing this, the boy's eyes were as bright as the stars, and he lowered his head and smiled a little embarrassedly.
"By the way, your junior brother..."
Before she finished speaking, Lu Jue stopped smiling, and suddenly looked up at her, and said, "Master, my disciple has a sword technique that I still can't comprehend, can Master explain it?"
Qiao Nian: "..."
You won't, and I won't either.
She is not good at swords.
Seeing the young man still looking at her, Qiao Nian had a flash of inspiration, pretending to be profound and mysterious, and said in a low voice: "The so-called reading a book a hundred times will reveal its meaning. The same is true for swordsmanship. You can practice it a few more times."understood."
As she spoke, she secretly observed the boy's expression.
Fortunately, Lu Jue was simple and did not doubt her words at all. He nodded thoughtfully and said: "I understand, let's continue to practice."
Qiao Nian breathed a sigh of relief, watching him turn and walk towards the depths of the woods.
Seeing that he was about to go far away, she just remembered, no, she didn't come to guide him in sword practice.
"etc."
Lu Jue paused, then turned to look at her, with a forced smile: "Master?"
Qiao Nian didn't pay attention to his expression, and asked, "Where's your junior brother?"
Lu Jue looked at her with dark eyes, tightened his hand holding the sword, and asked softly, "Master wants to see him?"
In the original owner's memory, he didn't have a good impression of Ao Yan, and even disliked him.
Hearing this, Qiao Nian said almost subconsciously: "What I want to see is that you won't be him."
The boy looked at her, with bits and pieces of joy in his eyes, and his voice was low and lingering: "Master..."
This voice is a bit seductive, like the other party's whispering in the ear during intimacy.
Qiao Nian pretended to be indifferent and said: "Ao Yan has already accepted me as his teacher, so it's time to meet him."
Lu Jue responded: "Well, I'll pick him up right away."
After hearing this, Qiao Nian hurriedly stopped him: "No need, you just transmit the sound to him."
What else to pick up, get used to him?
Qiao Nian felt that Lu Jue was just too kind.
Lu Jue said yes with a smile, but when he lowered his eyes, they were a little dark.
Qiao Nian didn't know what Ao Yan was up to, he waited for an hour before his figure appeared in the courtyard.
At this time, Qiao Nian was sitting under the eaves, watching Lu Jue practice his sword.
The boy was good-looking, and his figure was tall and graceful. As long as she didn't let her teach him, he would be very pleasing and fascinating to her eyes when he danced a sword.
It wasn't until she heard a panting voice that she took her eyes away from Lu Jue and glanced at him casually.
Seeing Ao Yan's appearance at this time, Qiao Nian almost spit out a sip of tea.
She had never seen Ao Yan in such a mess.
Ao Yan is the left protector of the demon clan, and his real body is a black dragon, which is so low-key and deep.
However, his human form likes shining and attention-grabbing attire the most. He is very luxurious and likes to show off. He always looks like a well-dressed and romantic nobleman.
At this time, he was wearing coarse linen clothes, which were still dirty, as if he had fallen into a mud pit and rolled around a few times. There was no jade crown on his head, only a cloth belt.Embarrassed.
No matter how good-looking his face is, he couldn't stand it like this, and his painting style changed from that of a courtier to a poor scholar.
Qiao Nian resisted the urge to laugh at him, and asked lightly, "What's wrong?"
Ao Yan stared at him with extreme indignation and aggrieved: "Ask him!"
Qiao Nian followed his gaze and looked at the young man in white beside him: "?"
Lu Jue looked calm, and said concerned: "Junior brother, did you fall on the road? Why were you so careless?" He felt a little guilty, "I should go pick you up, and you should blame me."
Qiao Nian felt aggrieved for Lu Jue when he heard it, and felt that Ao Yan was just putting on a show, and it was only a few steps away, so why is he in such a mess?
Qiao Nian said: "I didn't let him go, this is the fairy gate, no one should serve you."
Hearing this, Ao Yan couldn't believe it, as if he was looking at the traitor, his face turned red with anger: "He let me live in Jianjia Palace! Wearing commoner clothes! He even trapped me with a barrier!"
Hearing this, Qiao Nian was stunned.
Jianjia Palace is the farthest from here.
Ao Yan can't reveal his identity, so he can only rush over mountains and rivers like ordinary people.
No wonder he was like this.
It's just... why did Lu Jue do this?
As soon as she was thinking about it, she heard Lu Jue say in a puzzled voice: "I also reminded my younger brother that the Jianjia Palace is too remote, but he insisted on living there, saying that the palace is beautiful and he likes it, so I can't persuade him any more., as for the commoner..."
Lu Jue looked at Qiao Nian with a sad expression: "Master, I am useless, I am not capable of providing fancy clothes for junior brother."
Qiao Nian didn't doubt it.
Because Lu Jue never lied to her, not to mention that Ao Yan is indeed such a particular bad temper.
Ao Yan was so angry that she stretched out her finger to land on the ground: "You didn't tell me that damn before, you lied!"
Lu Jue didn't seem to understand why he accused him. After a moment of silence, he turned to look at Qiao Nian, and said hurtfully, "Master, I didn't."
This is very distressing, Qiao Nian immediately said: "I believe you."
As he said that, Qiao Nian looked at Ao Yan, thinking that he chose Jianjia Palace because he was greedy for luxury, and now he thought it was too far away, so he found his anger on Lu Jue.
"Enough." Qiao Nian said, "Ao Yan, since it's your own choice, don't bully others."
Ao Yan stared at her with wide eyes, his chest heaved a few times, but he didn't say anything.
At this time, Qiao Nian suddenly received a voice from Huo Yunting, asking her to go to the main peak.
Qiao Nian looked at Lu Jue: "From now on, I will leave your junior brother's training to you. If you have any questions, come and find me."
But if you think about it, there will be no problem.
Because Ao Yan doesn't know how to cultivate well at all, she just asks Lu Jue to watch over him so that he won't go out to make troubles.
Lu Jue gave a "hmm" and watched her leave with deep eyes.
In the hundred gardens of the main peak.
"Senior brother, you said you want...to treat me?" Qiao Nian said with some difficulty.
She...is sick, why doesn't she know it?
Huo Yunting stood in front of the flower garden, his clothes fluttering, and his tall body stood tall. He said "yes", looked at her, and said softly: "Ten years ago, you were seriously injured by the demons and lost your cultivation. NowYou still canβt cultivate, so I invited the Valley Master of Immortal Medicine Valley to heal your wounds, and he already has a way for you to cultivate immortality again.β
Qiao Nian: "..."
But she is a demon and can't cultivate immortals in the first place.
It didn't appear in the original book, did it?
Qiao Nian felt guilty, the owner of the Immortal Medicine Valley was not a simple person, if he came to check, he would definitely be able to see that she was a demon.
She had to find a way to say no.
Qiao Nian pretended to be disheartened, and said lightly: "Brother, don't worry, it's been ten years, I don't want to be disappointed again, it's good to be a mortal."
Huo Yunting stared at her for a moment, making people inexplicably nervous, and she even wondered if he saw something.
Just when her heart was up and down, he suddenly said: "Junior Sister, how do you see these flowers blooming?"
Qiao Nian didn't understand, so she looked at the sea of flowers in front of her.
"very nice.
Before she could finish the remaining two words, she saw these brilliant flowers wither away at lightning speed.
In the blink of an eye, it had turned into a piece of withered dust.
Qiao Nian's expression froze.
"Junior Sister..."
Huo Yunting's voice rang in his ears: "I hope you don't wither so quickly like these flowers." He looked down at her with a gentle smile, "So, you will go to treat the illness, right?"
Qiao Nian: "..."
I think you look sick.
Qiao Nian silently swallowed.
This is a threat, right?
It wasn't all because she was afraid of revealing her identity that she stayed on her own mountain for the past ten years, and part of the reason was that this Huo Yunting felt too oppressive.
After all, he is the future head of the Yunshan School, so he should not be underestimated.
She didn't even know how the original heroine and his childhood sweetheart endured in those years. Whether he was good to her was good, but this kind of kindness was indeed strong and undeniable, and it was suffocating.
Qiao Nian had no choice but to agree first: "Then thank you, brother."
"Junior Sister doesn't have to have such a relationship with me." Huo Yunting smiled a little lonely, patted her head, conjured a bunch of candied haws in his hand, and said gently, "Junior Sister, eat it."
Qiao Nian: "..."
She gave Huo Yunting a strange look, and he looked at her with a smile, like a gentleman, like a moonlight wind.
Why does he always like to coax her with food, just like feeding a pet.
Does the original heroine also like to eat these sweets?
Qiao Nian couldn't imagine the aloof heroine happily eating candied haws.
But she still took it, pretending to be indifferent and eating candied haws, completely unaware that she was so cute in contrast.
Huo Yunting looked at her softly: "Is it delicious?"
Qiao Nian swallowed a candied haws, and was about to answer when Huo Yunting suddenly hugged her.
She was stunned, not because she was hugged by him, but because the candied haws in her hand just happened to stick to his white skirt.
Qiao Nian: "..."
She remembered that Huo Yunting seemed to have a cleanliness habit, right?
He won't be so angry that he will throw her into ashes too, will he?
But Huo Yunting didn't seem to notice the candied haws at all. He looked behind her and said in a strangely tender voice, "Junior Sister, after the Fairy Gate Conference is over in three months, we will become Taoist couples, okay?"
Qiao Nian was still looking at the candied haws on his clothes, so he couldn't make him angry anymore, anyway, after three months, the Yunshan faction was already in chaos, so what kind of Taoist partner would they have?
So, without much hesitation, she said, "Okay."
But when she finished speaking, Huo Yunting's voice had a gentle smile, but was inexplicably aggressive: "Lu Jue, your master and I are getting married soon, shouldn't you congratulate me?"
Hearing his words, Qiao Nian turned her head in a daze, and saw the young man standing in the shadow not far away.
When meeting her eyes, the boy smiled at her, as gentle and handsome as ever, with shadows covering his face.
Qiao Nian: "..."
For the first time, felt that the boy's usual cute and lovable smile was a little... creepy.
