When Ling'er hurriedly handed the roasted pheasant to Bai Yeqing's hand, Bai Yeqing was in a daze.
"Miss! Eat something... you haven't eaten for two days!"
Bai Yeqing looked at the roast chicken that was handed over and shook her head: "Ling'er, you can eat it, I have no appetite..."
"Miss!" Ling'er was a little anxious: "Although my baked goods are not as delicious as the young master, there is still no problem in filling your stomach. Miss, you are different from others. If you don't eat, you will die!"
Bai Yeqing's complexion does not look very good now, and her eyes that were originally full of spirituality are now dull.
"Ling'er... Why hasn't Xiao Qi come to find us in the city... I haven't seen him since he was eaten by the snake demon!"
"The young master is also thinking about the safety of the young lady... The young lady has already revealed her identity in front of Situ Feng. Now the people from Kunlun are still in the city and have not come out. The risk of entering the city at this time is still quite high..." Ling'er also sighed:
"Miss...Actually, I miss you too. I haven't seen him for a long time..."
Bai Yeqing turned to look at her, then back again without saying anything more.
"Ling'er, let's ask Wu Qiong again to see if there is any news from the city. I don't want to live in the cave anymore. I want to go back and sleep with Xiao Qi..." Bai Yeqing puffed her mouth and said softly:
"If I don't go back, I will really starve to death outside..."
"Then...Miss, please eat something first..." Ling'er said anxiously.
Bai Yeqing shook her head: "Xiao Qi is not here, I have no appetite at all..."
"..." Ling'er covered her face.
Playing ball, the lady may be crazy.
Just when Ling'er shook her head and wanted to get up to look for Wu Qiong in the cave, she happened to see him walking out.
"Brother Wu! Good morning, I was just going to find you!" Ling'er was stunned and said hello.
Wu Qiong nodded politely and said, "Miss Ling'er, I'm here to tell you some good news!"
Good news?
Bai Yeqing standing next to him immediately stood up and asked, "Did Xiao Qi call us to enter the city?"
Wu Qiong smiled lightly and shook his head.
Seeing this, Bai Yeqing suddenly slumped again and returned to his listless look.
"It's just that although the young master has never called the girl to enter the city, my eldest sister has now broken through to the third level and needs time to retreat. There is only Yuzhu beside the young master, so I am a little worried..."
"I'll go, I'll go!" Bai Yeqing immediately jumped up again: "I'll protect Xiao Qi!"
"Qing'er has broken through to the third realm?" Ling'er on the side noticed this and asked uncertainly.
"Yes! According to the news from Yuzhu, the eldest sister has safely passed the molting period, and her cultivation has stabilized at the third level."
"So fast..." Ling'er secretly thought something was wrong. If this smelly snake reaches the third level, wouldn't the young lady be unable to deal with her... It seems that we have to help the young lady stabilize her position in the family!
It's the turn of this escort girl to appear!
"Let's go! Ling'er, let's go to the city..." Bai Yeqing pulled Ling'er and walked out impatiently!
"Alas! Alas! Miss! Don't be impatient...Miss..."
Seeing the two people leaving in a hurry, Wu Qiong sighed helplessly.
"What do you mean...the news from Yuzhu didn't mean to let them go back. Aren't you afraid that the eldest sister will be angry if you do this?"
At this moment, a voice came from behind Wu Qiong.
He turned his head and saw Sangui leaning against the stone wall.
"The city is basically stable. The reason why Kunlun continues to stay in the city is to fear that the crown prince Chu Yun or Kuroshio may leave behind any back-up. Now when you enter the city, you don't have to worry too much about being discovered!" Wu Qiongyao He shook his head and said.
"Huh! That's not what I'm talking about!" Sangui snorted coldly: "Although I am very unhappy, I also know that the eldest sister now wishes that this vixen would never go back. If you persuade her to go back like this, if you let the eldest sister know in the future, I’m afraid she won’t let you off lightly!”
Wu Qiong looked at him intently for a long time, giving Sangui goosebumps.
"Why are you looking at me like this? Am I wrong?"
Wu Qiong suddenly smiled. He rarely smiled at ordinary times, but now he smiled like this, which even frightened the three nobles.
"Are you possessed by an evil spirit? Why are you smiling at me? You scared me!"
"I just think...Sangui, you are really...somewhat...forget it, I can't tell!" Wu Qiong shook his head, and without giving Sangui time to ask questions, he said directly: "I asked Miss Bai to go back, just because I didn't want to. Let the eldest sister be alone with Young Master Liuyue every day... We don't dare to interfere with the eldest sister's affairs, so why not use other methods?"
Sangui frowned, seeming to be thinking about Wu Qiong's words.
"Do you know where the eldest sister shed her skin?"
"I don't know... I must have found a cave that no one knows about, the kind that guarantees safety!"
"Then why not let us know in advance?"
"..." Sangui was silent.
Wu Qiong shook his head: "Not telling us in advance means that the eldest sister is afraid that we will intervene in the matter if we find out. After all, this is not a trivial matter! If an enemy comes looking for you at this time, the eldest sister has no ability to resist at all!"
"This...how do you ask us to intervene in this matter? This is how it should be. There will be a period of weakness when the skin is shed, and we should be the protectors to ensure that nothing goes wrong!"
"That's right, then why doesn't the eldest sister want to tell us? Humph... That's because the eldest sister doesn't want to leave the city at all. This time she sheds her skin... She will probably let Young Master Liuyue accompany her!"
"What?" Sangui was angry: "That kid is just a mortal, why should he protect my eldest sister?"
Wu Qiong looked at him and sighed: "If my guess is correct, the eldest sister must have stayed by Mr. Liuyue's side these days. If you don't believe me, you can ask Yuzhu... The eldest sister seems to be out of control. If the two of them are allowed to get along with each other without any obstacles, the eldest sister's original plan will be postponed again..."
"..."
"It's just good news that eldest sister has entered the third realm, which means... our plan can be further designed!" Wu Qiong said solemnly.
After saying that, he glanced at Sangui again, ignored him, and walked deeper into the cave.
Sangui lowered his head, recalled what Wu Qiong had just said, and murmured.
"Are there any other means..."
…
On the way to Liuyue Yingshuang's courtyard, Liu Yueqi couldn't help but think of Bai Yeqing. She wondered what that Nizi was doing now. She had lived in a mortal city since she was a child, and would she be unaccustomed to living in a cave for a long time? Yes, I haven’t eaten the roast chicken I cooked for her these days. I wonder if she has lost weight due to hunger...
Not to mention, I miss her strangely after not seeing her for a while. I will have to find an opportunity to let Qing'er and Wu Qiong inform her someday and let Miss Xiaobai come back.
Anyway, now that the city gates are unsealed, the people in the city have basically returned to their normal lives. Everything is as before, except that entertainment venues such as Zuiyan Pavilion may not be able to open for some days.
Liu Yueqi came to Sister Shuang'er's small courtyard and inquired with the famous servant Ding. She learned that Sister Shuang'er had been in the house these days and had never gone out, so she walked in.
He felt a little panicked. After all, he and Qing'er had been alone in the room for three days and three nights. Sister Shuang'er probably wanted to kill me!
The stone table in the yard was empty. Logically speaking, Sister Shuang'er would practice swordplay early every morning. Why not today?
Liu Yueqi scratched her head, walked to the house and knocked on the door gently.
"Sister Shuang'er? Sister Shuang'er? It's me! Are you in there?"
"..."
No sound came.
"Strange, the waiter clearly said that Sister Shuang'er was inside, why didn't she see her?" Liu Yueqi was a little confused. After thinking about it for a while, she gave up the idea of pushing the door in, turned around and sat on the stone stool.
Sister Shuang'er may have gone to find her uncle and the others. In that case, just wait here.
During the original lockdown period, my father and uncle basically didn't go out and stayed at home. Occasionally, they would call Liu Yueqi to have a meal and chat about home affairs.
Now that the lockdown in the city has been lifted, I naturally have to go out frequently to meet old friends and so on.
Liu Yueqi stayed in the room for three whole days, and the whole family probably knew about it... Thinking of this, Liu Yueqi felt a little hot. Of course, the people in the family didn't know that Qing'er was about to shed her skin. His son and his maid were here.
I haven't left the room for three days and three nights...well, it's very exciting to think about it!
There is a saying, in this way, the young master is really a dragon and a tiger!
Not long after sitting, the door of the room was suddenly opened, and Liu Yue Yingshuang, who was dressed in sword uniform, walked out of the room. Liu Yue Qi was stunned when she saw her.
"Sister Shuang'er! So you are in the room! I thought..."
Before Liu Yueqi could finish speaking, Liu Yue Yingshuang threw him a wooden sword with a cold face.
"???"
"I got up late today, you practice sword practice with me!"
Hearing this, Liu Yueqi's face suddenly fell.
Liu Yueqi has been urged by Sister Shuang'er to learn swordsmanship for more than half a month, and he has mastered the basic sword moves and stances, but even so, he has no courage to confront Sister Shuang'er!
"But...but I..."
"It's nothing! Just talk and don't practice the fake moves. After practicing the sword for so long, what's the use of practicing the sword if you don't fight with others?"
Liu Yue Yingshuang didn't give Liu Yue Qi a chance to reply, she waved the wooden sword in her hand and pointed it at her!
Liu Yueqi hurriedly waved her sword to resist, but in the panic, she basically didn't remember any of the sword moves she had learned before. With just two moves, the sword in her hand was knocked away by Sister Shuang'er, and then...then her butt was hit by a wooden sword.
He was slapped hard, and Liu Yueqi took a breath of cold air from the pain.
What a beating! Oh my god!
"You have already died once. I have taught you sword moves for so long and this is what you have practiced?"
Although she knew that Sister Shuang'er was probably in a bad mood now, Liu Yueqi felt dissatisfied after hearing this.
"I wasn't ready just now! Come again!"
Snap, after three moves, Liu Yue was lying on the ground with her arms and legs spread out.
"Come again!"
Three moves!
"It didn't count just now! Come again!"
Four moves...
Finally, Liu Yueqi was beaten here all morning, and returned to her small courtyard with a bruised nose and face.
