She snuggled into his arms and talked about meeting the Wei family father and son today.
Her tone of voice was bland, more tasteless than boiled water.
Xi Lanting asked her: "Do you want to get to know him?"
"I have many relatives. My closest blood relatives include Du Xiaoqin, and others include Uncle Ni, Uncle Qian, and Du Xueru; my emotional relatives include my second brother, Chang Ningxin, Aunt Qian, etc. I don't feel like I lack anything." Yun
Qiao Dao.
On the contrary, it is Wei Haizheng, who seems to be extremely eager for blood.
Yun Qiao: "I went to see Wei Haizheng today because I wanted to see how his nephew treated him. Fortunately, his nephew's character doesn't look too bad. At least he is a grateful person."
Xi Lanting gently stroked her cheek.
He seemed silent for a moment, then asked her suddenly: "Have you ever thought about your father?"
Yun Qiao: "No."
This is a person who does not exist in her life. How can she think about it?
Xi Lanting hummed softly.
Maybe because he was tired from running during the day, Yun Qiao felt sleepy after dinner.
She didn't go back and slept next to Xi Lanting.
Xi Lanting held her in his arms and his thoughts jumped to the past. He remembered that a long time ago, when he went to Shangqing Mountain, he tried every means to get close to her.
The point of attack was her father.
Yun Qiao witnessed her tribe execute her father, which left a deep shadow on her.
The most severe punishment for criminals in the witch clan is snake punishment.
When Yun Qiao was ten years old, she witnessed her father being pushed into a snake's nest and his flesh and blood being devoured piece by piece. From then on, she was extremely afraid of snakes.
But she concealed it very well and never showed it.
Xi Lanting had just arrived at Shangqing Mountain. Although he was her disciple, she did not treat him with any kindness because she had more than eighty disciples.
In early summer, the mountains and fields are covered with flowers and the scenery is bustling. At the same time, snakes occasionally appear in the grass.
There are not many venomous snakes in Shangqing Mountain, except for those specially bred for execution.
Yun Qiao was still scared.
She never hangs out in the back hill.
There is Luoxia Peak in the back mountain, which is very high and close to the sky. The sunrise and sunset are dazzlingly beautiful.
Yun Qiao occasionally gave lessons to her disciples in the front hall. When the lesson ended, it was at sunset, and she would look at Luoxia Peak for a while, lost in thought.
"Master, you can go to Luoxia Peak to watch the sunset." Xi Lanting stood behind her with a calm expression.
He doesn't like words and doesn't even have any expression.
He stands out among many disciples, whether it is learning secret spells or his appearance.
It's just that he always behaves extremely blandly.
Yun Qiao just smiled at him gently and did not answer. The rays of the sun that day were very bright, and they fell into her eyes, and her eyes sparkled for an instant.
Xi Lanting has never seen such a beautiful person.
The high priest of the witch tribe has long been famous in the world, but when I look at her up close, I realize that the rhetoric used to describe her in the world is so empty and superficial.
In the next few days, dead snakes would appear from time to time on the mountain road leading to Luoxia Peak.
All things have animism, so a sudden change like this is naturally shocking.
Yun Qiao ordered his disciples to investigate the cause, and found out that a large amount of snake-repelling powder had been sprinkled on both sides of the mountain road leading to Luoxia Peak.
"Who did it?"
"Master, do you want to check?"
Yun Qiao was in a daze.
She said: "Check it out."
Xi Lanting stood up: "No need to check. Master, I did it."
Yun Qiao looked stunned.
The disciples all looked at him and asked him why he did this.
Xi Lanting: "I'm afraid of snakes, but I really want to go to Luoxia Peak to watch the sunset."
Everyone: "..."
How he came up with snake repellent powder that had not worked before is unknown.
Yun Qiao stood there, looking through the crowd and landing on him; and he looked back, his eyes so bright that they were almost burning, and he turned away in an instant.
The eldest disciple scolded Xi Lanting and punished him for cleaning the hall, but Xi Lanting did not refute.
But when everyone dispersed, he suddenly called out to Yun Qiao: "Master, here it is for you."
The fingers of his hands were long and even, with clear joints, and the skin was cold white.
Yun Qiao seemed to be confused in front of her disciples for the first time. She was a little dazed and didn't know what to say for a while. She was silent for a moment before asking: "What is it?"
"My disciple has tried it. This medicine powder is harmless to you, but snakes are afraid of insects and will dissipate when they smell it. If you want to go to Luoxia Peak, take this snake-repelling medicine bag with you." He said.
