Chapter 463 - 216: Qingzhu Enters the Mountain Gate! Yuan’Er Comes to Help!_3
"You’re the stubborn one!" Yuchi was speechless and shouted with a smile, "Good morning, Miss Xun."
"Good, good, good."
Nodding, she walked over to Yuchi’s side and casually used her Spiritual Qi to blow off the snow from the stone bench. Xun Xian’s gaze fell on Wei Qingzhu, who was packing things in the room, and she was immediately curious, "What’s going on? Why is Qingzhu packing like she’s about to leave?"
"She’s going back," Yuchi replied with a smile.
"Going back? To where?"
Xun Xian couldn’t help but ask.
She thought Yuchi and Wei Qingzhu had a good, somewhat ambiguous relationship, so why was Wei Qingzhu leaving at this time? Did they have a fight?
Wait! It does seem like that.
When a man and a woman have a fight, the man sits outside silently drinking tea or wine, while the woman packs her things without saying a word, like she’s going back to her hometown!
"Did you bully her?" Xun Xian asked uncertainly. After all, Yuchi wasn’t the type to bully others, right? He treated his family well and was unlikely to have fought with Wei Qingzhu right now.
How could I have bullied her? She bullied me, alright? Yuchi thought to himself, answering aloud:
"It’s nothing that complicated. It’s just that there are some matters at home, and she needs to go back to Uncle Bei’s place. Uncle Bei still has many things that need her help. She can’t stay in Xufu Town forever."
Ah, Uncle Bei, she understood. The man who suddenly appeared; Xun Xian had some impression of Song Bei. He seemed to be a middle-aged man in a green robe, quite handsome, but she thought if a man looked too good, his personality might be a bit flirtatious.
"Then I’ll protect you guys later."
Xun Xian suggested, "I don’t have anything else to do for the next two or three months during the New Year, so if you need anything, just come to me. If you ask for my help, I can eat at the Wei Family with a clearer conscience. Otherwise, I’d feel embarrassed, really."
Oh, would you really feel embarrassed? Yuchi laughed, "It’s all small matters. Once I escort Qingzhu out of Xufu Town, I’ll be back. I’ve already arranged for someone trustworthy to come and pick her up."
"Oh, I see, that’s fine then!" Xun Xian believed him.
Since Yuchi and Wei Qingzhu had a good relationship, he wouldn’t put Wei Qingzhu in danger. Since it’s a family matter, as an outsider, she shouldn’t interfere.
"But with Wei Qingzhu leaving, I’ll miss her a lot."
Really? Yuchi was surprised, "Are you guys that close?"
"Haha, not especially close, but after spending so much time together, I’ve gotten along well with even your loyal Yuchi, let alone Wei Qingzhu," Xun Xian laughed.
Yuchi nearly spat out his tea, "... Sorry, if you have a good relationship with me, it’s been hard for you."
"Then let me help!" Xun Xian put down her wine pot.
"Sure." Yuchi nodded with a smile.
Sitting outside, finishing a pot of tea, Yuchi pondered some small matters until two people unknowingly came to his back.
"Brother Yuchi, I’m ready," Wei Qingzhu said.
"Alright, let’s go."
"Mm-hmm."
In Xufu Town, Yuchi walked at the front with Wei Qingzhu beside him. Wei Qingzhu was very astute. After staying at the Wei Mansion for so long, she hadn’t revealed Yuchi’s identity, nor in front of Xun Xian. In the eyes of outsiders, she seemed like Yuchi’s little sister, and the two had a good relationship.
But the reality was definitely not like that.
"I am the predecessor’s disciple."
Wei Qingzhu started getting a little excited; she made herself appear a bit calmer, reflecting on the admiring comments of the passersby in her mind.
She didn’t know what kind of sect the predecessor belonged to, what kind of people were in the predecessor’s sect, or what kinds of disciples the sect had. To join a sect, one needs some sort of entry gift. While her own talent was quite good, her parents had given her an initial entry gift before.
So do I need to prepare an entry gift now?
I probably don’t, right... The predecessor will take care of such things. For now, let the predecessor assist me, and when I grow stronger through my cultivation, I’ll repay him gradually. Anyway, the predecessor doesn’t seem to be interested in my body.
"Doesn’t it feel a bit like going to school for the first time?" Yuchi asked with a smile.
"Yes, just like going to school for the first time, everything is full of freshness." Wei Qingzhu answered earnestly, looking at Yuchi with bright eyes.
A new place, a new beginning, all of it very fresh.
Walking along, watching Xufu Town slowly recede behind them, she felt a little wistful after finally getting onto a carriage.
She truly had experienced so much this past year, once thinking it was impossible to keep living in these times, only to meet the predecessor at a crucial moment. The predecessor truly was her good fortune; without his help, she might be dead by now.
She was even more eager to see what the sect looked like!
She almost couldn’t hold it in!
Then suddenly, she said, "Brother Yuchi, do you really not want it?"
