Lu Xiaohong called me and told me that he would come back on New Year's Day to celebrate the New Year with me.
When I heard his familiar voice, I didn't say anything for a while.
"Ling'er?" Seeing that I didn't say a word, Lu Xiaohong called my name on the other end of the phone.
"I'm here!" I replied softly.
"Is it snowing in Jiangzhou?" Lu Xiaohong asked me.
"Well, it's snowing!" I said.
Lu Xiaohong was silent for a moment.
"I'm at the high-speed rail station now. I'll arrive in Jiangzhou at 5:30 tomorrow morning. Can you pick me up?" Lu Xiaohong asked me cautiously.
"Okay." I agreed.
Lu Xiaohong was silent for a while, and none of us spoke.
When I just decided to go on a good journey with him, I seemed to have a lot of things to say to him, but when I received the call, neither of them knew what to say.
"The ticket inspection is about to start, you should go to bed early." Lu Xiaohong said.
I said okay again and hung up the phone silently.
The snow seemed to be falling even harder, and a thin layer of moisture was once again covering the glass windows.
I raised my hand to brush away the transparency, and there was already a thin layer of snow on the flower trees in the yard.
"Hu Ling, come over for dinner!" Dongzi had already started to put the food on the dining room table.
"It's only been a few days and you're already thinking about Master Lu Tianshi?" Just as I was about to turn around, Lian Ruowei's soft voice sounded in my ears.
I was stunned, and when I looked back, I didn't know when Lian Ruowei was standing beside me.
When she said this, her voice was as cold as the falling snow outside the window, even a bit sarcastic.
"Do you know why the Tianshi Mansion is obviously an official institution, with not only scenery but also enviable treatment, but not many real practitioners are willing to enter the Tianshi Mansion? Because everyone, when they enter the Tianshi Mansion,
Every day, an agreement will be signed. If you want to leave, you must take on a special task."
I didn't quite understand why Lian Ruowei suddenly told me this, and I looked at her in surprise.
"The superiors wanted Master Lu to take over Uncle Xiao's position, but Master Lu submitted an application to leave the Master's Mansion." Lian Ruowei continued as she looked at the falling snow outside the window with an expressionless face.
I was stunned and stared at Lian Ruowei speechless.
Lu Xiaohong never told me that he wanted to leave Tianshi Mansion.
"Except for Uncle Xiao, Tianshi Lu is the most qualified person I have ever met to be a revered Tianshi. If he wants to leave the Tianshi Mansion because of you, I will feel very sorry."
Lian Ruowei withdrew her gaze and landed on my face: "Hu Ling, you and Lu Tianshi are indeed a very good match. I also admire your ability and bravery. As a girl, you are unwilling to join Tianshi."
I understand, Shifu, but I hope you can support his career instead of becoming a stumbling block to his future and career."
I looked at Lian Ruowei in surprise: "Do you think it was my idea for Lu Xiaohong to leave the Tianshi Mansion?"
"Maybe it wasn't your idea, but it was because of you. Didn't Shi Xian, Master Lu, say before he died that he would rather stay with you than occupying the position of Master Celestial Master?" Lian Ruowei said.
I suddenly felt a little angry, and I felt that I couldn't understand Lian Ruowei.
Just now, I was talking and laughing with Dongzi in the kitchen, but now he could accuse me without expression and become a stumbling block for Lu Xiaohong.
"I just learned from you that Lu Xiaohong wants to leave the Tianshi Mansion. Moreover, even if he wants to leave, what kind of life he wants is his own business, even if it is me or anyone else.
No one has the right to judge.
Ruowei, I have always thought you are a straightforward girl, and I also think you are sincerely close to Dongzi. Dongzi is a very simple person. I don’t want him to know that you are still paying attention to or even interfering in Lu Xiaohong’s life and decisions.
In that case, he will definitely be very sad!" I said, staring at Lian Ruowei.
"My concern about this matter has nothing to do with me having a crush on Master Lu!" Lian Ruowei stared back at me and said, "I don't know if you really don't understand or if you pretend you don't understand. Uncle Xiao is already like this. If Master Lu leaves Tianshi again,
The Master's Mansion is not only a loss to the Tianshi Mansion, but also a loss to the entire country! Do you know that in order to leave the Tianshi Mansion, he may very well lose his life in the mission he accepted!"
I was stunned and stared at Lian Ruowei speechless.
Lian Ruowei glared at me fiercely, turned and walked towards the restaurant.
"Ruowei!" I stepped forward and took Lian Ruowei's arm, "What mission did Lu Xiaohong accept?"
"He has already accepted that mission, is there any point in asking these questions?" Lian Ruowei shook off my hand, stared at me and said word by word: "If anything happens to Master Lu Tianshi, I think I will hate you very much!
"
"Girl, take care of yourself first!"
My father came over at some point, raised his hand and patted Lian Ruowei on the shoulder and said: "Your life was taken back from hell by someone else. Why do you care about other people's lives?"
?Other people’s lives have nothing to do with you?”
"Uncle Xiao!" A look of embarrassment flashed across Lian Ruowei's angry face. She bent down and nodded to her father, then turned and ran towards the restaurant.
I looked at Lian Ruowei's back, but I happened to look at Dongzi who was holding a pile of tableware.
A ray of sadness flashed in Dongzi's eyes, and then he grinned at me and said, "Hu Ling, Ruowei, what are you talking about? It's time to have dinner. I've already warmed up the rice wine to go with the crab.
It’ll be cold if you come here to eat!”
I panicked, but belatedly realized that Dongzi must have heard the conversation between Lian Ruowei and I.
Dongzi sucked away 60% of Bai Yao's internal energy outside the territory of Huaxu. He just hasn't mastered the matching technique yet, but whether it's smell, vision or hearing, as long as he is willing, he can reach it from a few miles away.
Not even the sound of birds flying by could escape his five senses.
What's more, the conversation between me and Lian Ruowei was only separated by a living room.
"Daughter, don't listen to that bad girl, my son-in-law is in danger!" Dad comforted me on the side.
I looked at my father expectantly, "Do you know that Xiaohong wants to leave the Tianshi Mansion?"
"What Tianshi Mansion? I don't know. I calculated it using this, and I'll show it to you again!"
Dad said as he was offering a treasure, he put his hand into his robe and fumbled for a long time before he found something.
One coin.
Dad pushed the coin up with his index finger and thumb, flicked it upwards, and the coin flew upwards.
Then, Dad opened his palm upwards, and the coin stood in his palm, spinning rapidly.
When the coin was about to spin out of Dad's palm, the coin's rotation speed slowly slowed down.
"Okay!" Dad curled his fingers, held the coin, and spread it out for me to see.
"Girl, look, this is face up, right? That means my son-in-law will not be in any danger!" Dad said happily.
I glanced at my father and said nothing.
The coin rotated so slowly that I could clearly see that my father waited for the coin to turn heads before holding it.
