Chapter 296 You are finished
Qiongchuan stream.
The cold wind blew through the window and lifted a strand of hair on my aunt's forehead.
After listening to Zhao Qing's story about Hong Ning, she felt the flesh on her face tighten and she couldn't smile at all.
"Si He still hasn't communicated with you?"
She looked at the many objects in front of her.
The Chu family's national seal, Tianxiang's flower seeds, Baiyu's inheritance, Shattered Star's colored certificate, and... the jade slips scattered all over the ground.
"No."
Zhao Qing sighed deeply.
Just now he was telling his aunt about Hong Ning's feelings.
Since Shuyue and Qinghuan had already watched the live broadcast, they followed Sihe to watch the replay... and interrupted the transmission of thoughts. Two hours have passed and there has been no movement.
The Yin Hua in his mind also became silent. If Zhao Qing hadn't known that they were watching a movie, he would have even thought that Shouyun Mountain had been razed to the ground.
"Owner?"
"father?"
"millet?"
The previously active Yin Hua remained silent, without any movement.
the other side……
The white-haired woman stood with her hands behind her back, her eyes narrowed as she stared into the endless clouds in the distant sky.
She murmured to herself, "It was indeed razed to the ground..."
There was no more light in Wang Shuyue's bright eyes, and she silently took out a communication jade.
This is a communication jade that has been kept by me for more than ten years and has never been used - it belongs to Xiaoyi.
It was not needed in the past.
After all, Xiaoyi is by his side most of the time. Even if she occasionally accompanies her husband on a trip, she only needs to send a message to him.
But now...
She stroked the warm jade piece in her hand and glanced at Qinghuan slightly.
·
"Where did Hong Ning get the white jade inheritance?" The aunt's beautiful eyes narrowed slightly, and she asked in a low voice.
"Perhaps it has something to do with her experiences in Zhongzhou over the years."
Zhao Qing guessed so.
He had originally wanted to ask Hong Ning, but after his defense was breached, he couldn't bring himself to ask.
This kind of question...
Hong Ning has been his woman for a long time.
He didn't know how Hong Ning had been doing in Zhongzhou these past few years, where she was cultivating, or when she had broken through to the late stage of foundation building...
In the past, he thought Hong Ning was too fussy and he couldn’t take care of her at all.
Or sometimes he would send messages to ask about her recent situation, but Hong Ning rarely replied, just chatting with her intermittently to show that she was safe.
For so many years, Zhao Qing always thought that Hong Ning cared about him because they had a fleeting romance by chance. He was even very grateful for the simplicity of this world.
How can there be such a good woman?
Just a short sleep and they've been thinking about me for so many years.
That year, the apricot-yellow boat floating in the sky above the Northern Desert emitted a melodious flute sound... He thought that was the beginning of their relationship, but he never realized that it was the end of the story.
"Do you have an answer to Hong Ning's question?"
Zhou Xiaoyi no longer held her husband's wrist tightly, but sat opposite him, just like when they first met and played chess.
Even the coldness in his eyes was three times stronger than before.
Zhao Qing looked quietly into his aunt's eyes, knowing that she was reminding him that he had let Hong Ning down.
He really wanted to say that he had no idea that Hong Ning was that kind of person! ?
But it is what it is.
He slept with someone else.
He had to stand at attention when being beaten, and he had no complaints at all.
"Did you consider her as your Taoist partner?"
"When did you start to have feelings for her?"
"Do you ever think of her in your dreams at midnight?"
"Are the gauze dress and xylophone she left for you still with you?"
Zhou Xiaoyi whispered softly, asking as she took out a xylophone and a goose-yellow gauze dress from her spirit ring...
In addition, there is a large bronze mirror, neatly stacked music books, six bottles of perfumed dew, and many women's boudoir ornaments.
The lip balm is still bright red, the eyebrow pencil has been cleaned...flower ornaments, forehead makeup, rouge, and powder.
She placed all the items safely, raised her eyes and said gently, "I have been keeping the items in the Spirit Boat Pavilion for you. I am afraid that you will regret it one day."
"but……"
"When did you fall in love with her?"
Zhao Qing closed his eyes slightly and fell into silence while taking a deep breath.
"Zhao Qing."
Zhou Xiaoyi called him by his name, and his clear eyes gradually dimmed.
"She doesn't belong to you."
"She's the type of person someone would really want to be with."
"She should bear children for someone else, party with someone else every night, and entrust herself to someone who truly cares about her."
"You are my man, and I am willing to welcome Hong Ning into my home as my sister."
"But my man can't be a jerk who plays with women!"
"Stop torturing Hong Ning...let her go."
Zhou Xiaoyi spoke sternly, her hair swaying slightly by her ears. She stared at Zhao Qing with cold eyes, as if she suddenly felt a little disappointed.
The quiet room fell into dead silence for a moment.
The cold wind outside the window was howling and roaring.
The large bronze mirror on the table reflected the last ray of warm sunlight in the snowy world.
"Father."
My aunt slowly closed her eyes and said softly, "Don't destroy Hong Ning's life because of your own selfish desires."
"I don't care how many women you marry."
"As long as you love them sincerely, our family will still be there."
"You don't want Hong Ning to be with someone else...why?"
"Because you take good care of her, hold her in the palm of your hand and pamper her?"
"Or are you thinking about her day and night and worrying about her all the time?"
"Or maybe... you just don't want the woman you've touched to be involved in a relationship with someone else."
She slowly stood up, walked over to Zhao Qing and sat down, leaning lightly on his shoulder and whispering.
"Daddy..."
"Think carefully about this. I don't want to see you become... Zhou Zongliang."
She clenched her slightly cold slender hands, interlocked her fingers with the man's, and then turned his cheek.
Zhao Qing slowly opened his eyes.
Looking at the familiar face in front of me, I was a little dazed for a moment.
His aunt had never treated him like this before, and he didn't even know how to respond.
But he vaguely realized something.
The woman smiled softly and said, "If you like her and love her, I will keep her for you."
"If you're just feeling guilty, how about we just leave and go find Liang Qing on our own?"
"You were planning to come here alone, but having me by your side is enough."
"Even if you gave Qing Huan a fraction of your love, she would never have left Chu..."
"She has sacrificed so much for you, and she just wants to share your burden and enjoy this, not to see you feel guilty and heartbroken."
"What she wants is... for you to pity her and love her, to exchange your heart for hers, and to spend the rest of your life together."
Zhao Qing looked at the gentle smile in front of him and felt uneasy.
It never occurred to him.
After hearing about Hong Ning’s story, my aunt actually ran straight into Hong Ning’s trench.
Even when he was at home, he and Shuyue scolded each other to pieces...
Do you like red lemon?
In an instant, a flash of lightning flashed through my mind.
Hong Ning seemed to have asked similar questions just now.
Were you happy traveling with me before?
At this moment, Zhao Qing suddenly seemed to have come to his senses and felt that he could defeat Hong Ning again.
To be precise, I suddenly understood my own feelings.
Hong Ning seemed to be asking questions all the time and comparing all the time.
How do I compare to Xian Ning?
How do I compare to the puppet?
Why don’t you lean on Xianning?
It makes so much sense!
Why don't I stick to Luo Xianning! ?
Why do you always stand shoulder to shoulder with Hong Ning?
Why did he secretly make dirty jokes with Si He and also blame Hong Ning for it?
Zhao Qing's heart gradually tensed up, a light flashed in his eyes, and he looked into his aunt's eyes and whispered...
"I've thought about it seriously."
"Before we made love, Hong Ning and I were chatting and laughing side by side. If she had been suddenly embraced by another man at that time... I would have felt bored and uncomfortable as well."
My aunt raised her eyebrows slightly and teased, "Are you sure of your feelings? You can lie to me... but don't lie to yourself."
Zhao Qing shook his head slowly.
She sighed softly and said, "When she treated Qing Huan's body, I gave her spirit stones and spirit peaches."
"I didn't have any feelings for her at that time."
"After many jokes and conversations, I used her perfume very naturally, even deliberately defaulting on it and refusing to acknowledge it."
"I once told her... I'm afraid the debt is too great, and I can only repay it with my own body."
Zhou Xiaoyi was suddenly stunned. Her man had played such a joke outside!?
She climbed onto Zhao Qing's shoulder with great interest: "What did you like about her then?"
Zhao Qing spoke the truth without any hesitation.
"I like her beautiful face and figure, and her cheerful and generous personality."
"it is good."
My aunt chuckled and asked, "Why are you so secretive and never reveal anything?"
"At that time, I was in a secret realm, my thoughts intertwined with Si He's. Han Guang Sword, Shen Su, Ji Meng, Miao Jian, Qing Rao... many strange people and events appeared one after another."
"Before we had a clear mind, we had already become lovers and parted ways at Yangguan Pass."
"If the trip to the secret realm had gone smoothly, and everyone had left, I would have had feelings for her after returning to Songshan."
My aunt's face was full of joy as she slowly stroked a jade slip in her hand.
Then he asked, "Have you ever thought of her?"
Zhao Qing nodded sincerely.
Suddenly, he seemed like a different person, and it seemed like there was nothing he couldn't say.
At that time, I just wanted to flirt with her. If I hadn't really thought about it, it would have been better to give up Hong Ning's feelings.
"I've thought of it."
"After Si He and I became one, we were on Zhaoyao Mountain in the illusion of mountains and seas, and were plundered by him for more than ten days."
"I secretly miss... Hong Ning's gentle breath beside my ear, that kind of tenderness and teasing."
"After Sun Qian's death, I thought about Hong Ning's safety and well-being over the years."
"In the Sutra Pavilion of the White Horse Temple, while drinking bitter tea, I thought of Hong Ning's smile."
My aunt unconsciously revealed a gentle smile. As she listened, she put the many items given by Hong Ning into her storage ring.
Only the music scores, perfumed dew, various cosmetics... as well as the xylophone and gauze clothes were left.
"Where did this xylophone come from? Where did it end?"
Zhao Qing naturally put away the remaining items and said softly, "Hong Ning from Qingquan County, Chu State, gave it to me along with the spirit boat before we parted ways."
"In the desert of Liguo, our family will have a feast with camels at night. I will give you this zither to play."
"Until now, in the Netherworld Kingdom... the property has been returned to its original owner."
Unknowingly.
A virtual panel appeared before my eyes.
【Zhao Hongning】
Intimacy
[Golden Spiritual Root: Low Grade (7/1000)]
Zhao Qing was stunned.
So... I'm the one holding you back?
The aunt smiled and waved her hand, then took out all the more than a thousand jade slips that she had just brought to Luo Xianning and scattered them all over the floor.
"You like her, and she misses you."
"Just stay in the quiet room and read the jade slips these days."
Zhao Qing: ? ?
He asked doubtfully, "Shouldn't we share the information with everyone to search and verify?"
"Ah!"
"Hong Ning paved the way for you, painstakingly carving a total of 3,720 jade slips. Was it to find out about Liang Qing?"
"She inscribed these herself, so why would she rely on us to verify and investigate?"
"You just said she looked so confident. Liang Qing must have been trapped."
"She arrived at Mingshang Province before us, but ended up at Chuanqiongjian later, which means she has other places to stay."
"Wait until I'm alone with her at night, and I'll see...why can't you defeat her?"
My aunt stood up and opened the door with a hint of fresh fragrance.
Looking back, he smiled and said, "Hong Ning, go prepare some delicious food and good wine, and I should go find some tea, fruits and melons from Mingshangzhou."
"You can stay here and savor these more than 3,000 pieces of affection."
Zhao Qing frowned slightly.
Aunt is going out?
This land of ice and snow isn't the Chu State...
He hesitated for a moment and then warned, "Keep Lu Qing's jade boat ready at all times to avoid any danger."
"I'm in Qiongjian Market, how could there be any danger?"
"On the contrary...the next time Red Lemon goes out?"
Zhao Qing nodded gently: "I will give the jade boat to her."
Zhou Xiaoyi shook her head and chuckled: "If you had been so concerned about me for a long time, why would you have to leave me for several years?"
……
After his aunt left, Zhao Qing leaned on the bed silently and looked at the jade slip.
Qinghuan's face has been appearing in my mind these days, and I feel a little uncomfortable when the thought transmission is interrupted for a while.
At this moment, the Yin Hua that had been silent for a long time began to ripple again.
Si He's lazy and slightly cold voice came: "You're finished."
Zhao Qing:?
Am I done again?
"Hong Ning is really good to you, you don't deserve her at all."
"Shuyue is messaging my aunt about Hong Ning."
"You are alone now, Qing'er."
???
Damn it!
Is this serious?
When they left the house, they scolded her for only knowing how to seduce men.
How come now, everyone has turned against us?
What about Qinghuan?
"Qing Huan said that Hong Ning has always been very nice to her."
"But she loves whomever you love."
Zhao Qing was silent for a moment, not understanding why it suddenly became like this.
Did I miss something again?
Si He said coldly: "Don't you want to ask your master's opinion?"
Oh.
Master, what do you mean?
Si He's voice suddenly changed, as if she had turned back into that girlish demeanor.
"Quickly invite Ning Dad back to Shouyun Mountain!"
"If you don't soak me, I will!"
"I'll take over your body!"
Zhao Qing: ...
He said nothing more and silently checked the jade slip in his hand.
I was trembling with fear and walking on thin ice, and finally I had a good life.
It’s okay to be tortured by Hong Ning today.
Why does my aunt Shuyue want to torture herself one by one again! ?
……
That night.
In Bai Wanqiu's quiet room.
A group of eight people, four men and four women, sat facing each other with smiles on their faces, enjoying a wide variety of liquors and delicacies unique to the heart of the glacier.
"It's been many years since we last met. Hong Ning thanks you all for your help."
Hong Ning, wearing the dark green gauze dress, stood up beside Bai Wanqiu with a smile on her face.
She sipped the wine cup lightly, raised her head slowly and drank the strong liquor. For a moment, her profile looked even more charming, and her watery eyes were full of affection. She raised her delicate chin provocatively towards Zhao Qing.
Zhao Qing chuckled and looked back, then naturally stood up to thank everyone for their support and companionship along the way.
This is what should be done logically and logically, after all, there are two Jindan masters, Liu Zijing and Bai Wanqiu, here.
But obviously, Bai Wanqiu and Hong Ning were wearing the same pants.
This Tianxiang Bai Senior Sister also showed some interest in her eyes at this moment, and she looked like a spectator.
"If you want to thank someone, then thank Hong Ning. She's been bothering me a lot about this."
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone started laughing and making fun of it.
Hong Ning's bright eyes swept over her aunt, and she winked gently and raised her hand to gesture... I need three cups~
Liu Zijing's sword eyes flickered, and he chuckled softly, "Fairy Ning said that you must drink thirty cups."
Zhao Qing smiled helplessly and turned his gaze to Hong Ning again.
The woman smiled as brightly as a flower, as if asking, "How many cups do you think I'm worth?"
Kong Yang leaned against the wall, holding his own little snack in his hand, and said vaguely: "You have to have a jar at least, right?"
