Chapter 54
54 Master’s ex-girlfriend (1)
Hearing him call him brother Lei, Yu Qi ‘an blushed. It was hard to tell what expression he had.
He quickly stood up and walked in front of her. He reached out his hand as if he wanted to hold her hand, but his arm stiffened halfway and he pulled it back.
In the end, he just smiled and said,”come and sit in the backyard.”
He turned around and walked in front. Abbess Mei Xi didn’t say anything and followed behind with red eyes.
Xiao Yue ‘er, who was standing behind Yu Qi’ an, and Li Xinyi, who was standing behind abbess Mei Xi, both had their eyes lit up with the desire for gossip.
There was something, there was definitely something.
Li Chu, on the other hand, seemed calm, but he followed her closely. As he passed by Xiao Yue ‘er, he warned her, ” “Please entertain him here.”
“But I …” Xiao Yue ‘er was unwilling.
Li Chu patted her on the head and stopped her from continuing.
Xiao Yue ‘er pouted her lips, feeling wronged. I also want to go and watch the show. Yingluo
You’re bullying a fish.
In the backyard of deyun temple.
Beside the stone well, Yu Qi ‘an and abbess Mei Xi sat opposite each other.
He poured two cups of tea, one for Mei Xi and one for himself.
His movements were calm and his actions were casual and elegant, accompanied by the cool breeze. His clothes fluttered in the wind, his hair swayed in the wind, and his shoulders carried the fallen leaves. An indescribable and otherworldly temperament was uncontrollably emitted.
For a moment, Mei Xi was stunned.
In a daze, she seemed to see the year Xuanji was in the middle of spring on the long Street, riding a horse together, and the misty rain was like a dream. Hiding from the rain under the eaves, he looked into a pair of deep eyes, which were like the breeze of Mount Hua with fine snow.
ah.
The clear and thin face in her memory overlapped with the wrinkled old face in front of her.
Finally, she could not help but let large drops of tears roll down her face. She cried, ” “Brother Lei, you’re old.”
“Ah, yeah.” Yu Qi ‘an smiled. you’re still so pretty. You’re even prettier than before.
He picked up the teacup and took a sip.
Mei Xi looked at Li Chu, who was standing behind him, and asked, ” “Is he your son? No wonder you have the demeanor of your youth.”
“Pfft.”
Yu Qi ‘an almost spat out the tea in his mouth. He quickly wiped his mouth and explained,”No, no, Li Chu is just a little disciple I adopted. We’re not related by blood. Yingluo, if you insist that he looks like me, I’ll admit it. Maybe it’s because you’ve been by my side for so many years, and you’ve stolen some of my temperament.”
Mei Xi laughed through her tears. Li Xinyi, who was behind her, saw that the atmosphere had eased a little. He put his hand on his master’s shoulder and asked, ” “Master, why do you call priest Yu brother Lei?”
In the years she had spent in Meixi temple, she vaguely knew that her honored master missed an unspeakable person, but she had never imagined that this person would actually be Yu Qi ‘an.
She had always felt that Li Chu was a strange master.
Well, Yingying, as for what was strange.
It was strange.
She was a little worried. Her master couldn’t have been deceived, right?
Mei Xi stared at Yu Qi ‘an and said, ” “Daoist priest Yu? But the name that spread all over the hang Zhou Prefecture back then was Li Lei.”
Eh?
The few of them looked at him curiously.
Yu Qi ‘an smiled awkwardly and said,”I have to prepare a few aliases when I’m traveling in the martial world.” And Yingluo ”
He flicked his sleeves and looked into the distance, sighing, ” “People like me, no matter where I go, I’m always tired of false reputation, and I can’t hide even if I want to. Helplessly, I could only change the name of every place I passed, so that it could be more peaceful.”
I’ve been in the Dao sect for many years, and I’ve asked many people in the Dao sect about you, but no one knew. I didn’t expect you to change your name. I can’t believe that someone with such a high cultivation base like you would hide in a Daoist temple outside this town, ” said Mei Xi in a disappointed voice.
Yu Qi ‘an said, ” big Daoist temples and small Daoist temples cultivate Daoism. What does it have to do with temples? ”
His tone was filled with the air of an expert that could not be hidden.
Li Xinyi blinked curiously and asked in a low voice, ” “Is Daoist priest Yu’s cultivation very high?”
She had always thought that Li Chu’s master was just an old man who had no ability and only stared at her chest.
Of course, even if he had the ability, it didn’t affect his evaluation of other actions.
“Thirty years ago, in the hang Zhou Prefecture, who didn’t know of the famous Daoist priest Li Lei?” He was as handsome as Jade and had a peerless appearance. At the frost title temple in Hangzhou, he had used his tongue to win over the ten eminent monks of the temple. Then, he killed the demon at yinyi mountain and returned with wine. It’s a pity that no one has ever seen Suan ni in action. Those who have seen his divine arts are all dead.”
“Don’t mention it,” Yu Qi ‘an waved his hand.
“Yes, some things don’t need to be mentioned, but some things should be mentioned.” Mei Xi’s tone changed, and her eyes became unfriendly.”I’ve been looking for you all these years just to ask you one thing. Why did you leave without saying goodbye? Since we’ve met today, I’m sure even the heavens want to give me an answer.”
Yu Qi ‘an’s eyelids twitched.
Indeed, no matter how old a woman was, she could change her face at will.
Li Chu’s pupils contracted.
Although Mei Xi’s tone was very calm, he had already keenly sensed a dangerous aura from it. He was afraid that if his master said something wrong, he would immediately set off a storm of blood.
He had heard Li Xinyi mention Mei Xi’s name before. She was a legendary figure in the Imperial court, and her cultivation was at the peak of the Dragon Realm.
However,
Her master’s cultivation was so high that he could naturally suppress her.
Even if they were to fight, he probably wouldn’t need any help. As a junior, it was better to just watch obediently.
Yu Qi ‘an’s throat rolled up and down a few times. After a long while, he slowly said, ” “Mei ‘er, the reason why I left without saying goodbye back then was all because of you.”
“Blame me?” Abbess Mei Xi was stunned.
“Since ancient times, love has been empty and hatred has never ceased, and this hatred will never end.” Yu Qi ‘an suddenly recited a poem.
Shaking his head, he continued, ” I’ve always been a person who doesn’t like to be bound. Your feelings for me are too much, too sincere, and too heavy. They are heavy on my shoulders. I’m afraid that they will decrease. Even a little bit will make my heart ache. “But it has already reached its peak. It can’t increase, it can only decrease. I’m afraid. Gradually, I’ve been bound by this feeling.”
“Rather than watching it disappear day by day, I think it’s better to leave while it’s still at its strongest. This way, we can both leave the deepest shadow in each other’s hearts. After so many years, we’ve finally let go of everything in our hearts. Isn’t it good to just sit here?”
“Have you let it go?” asked Mei Xi.
Yu Qi ‘an smiled and looked at her with an unfathomable gaze, but he kept quiet.
After a long time, Mei Xi looked up at the clouds in the sky and said softly, ” “So love will disappear, right?”
……
It was still early when the master and disciple left deyun temple. In fact, they did not stay for long.
The conversation between Mei Xi and Yu Qi ‘an was only a few words.
However, for the two of them who had reunited after a long time, it seemed to be enough.
After leaving the money and taking the key to the secret realm, Mei Xi stood up and left without any reluctance.
After they left, Li Xinyi asked carefully, ” “So, master, you named me Li Yingying because of him?”
Priestess Mei Xi’s surname was han. After she adopted her, she gave her the surname Li. She had been curious about this in the past.
Now that he thought about it, it might have something to do with Yu Qi ‘an’s alias.
“Yes.” Mei Xi didn’t say much and just nodded.
“Master, you’ve been looking for him for so many years. Why did Zhenzhen leave after saying a few words?” Li Xin Yi asked again.
Mei Xi smiled. when I was young, I always felt that the days ahead would be more difficult. I had to seize every opportunity. But now that he was older, he felt that there was still a long way to go. In any case, he can’t leave without saying goodbye like he did back then. Even if he can run away, can the Taoist priest run away from the temple?”
“You’re planning to …”
“I plan to finish the task assigned by the sect first, then we’ll go to the wonderful wind Mountain.”
Abbess Mei Xi turned around, and her eyes lit up again.
……
In deyun temple, Yu Qi ‘an stroked his beard and was out of his mind for a while. He kept muttering, ” “No, no,”
After thinking for a long time, he raised his head and said to Li Chu, ” “Disciple, why don’t we just run?”
“Hasn’t priestess Mei Xi already left?” Li Chu was stunned.
sigh, seeing how easily she left, I guess she doesn’t intend to let me go so easily. Yu Qi ‘an sighed.
It was the first time Li Chu had seen Yu Qi ‘an so flustered.
He couldn’t help but sigh. Emotional matters were still too complicated, and even his master’s state of mind was disrupted.
He touched the fresh silver notes in his arms and felt at ease.
Didn’t this thing smell good?
