Mr. and Mrs. Shen also came to visit He Zhan. In addition to showing concern, they also wanted to know when he would be able to leave based on his condition.
Shen Zhuangheng was planning to take Tong Yan away as soon as possible. He Zhan said considerately, "I'm already well and can leave at any time."
Seeing that Tong Yan had neither objection nor agreement, Shen Zhuangheng persuaded Tong Yan: "Experience is not something you have to rush into. When arrangements are made for He Zhan, I will go with you."
Hearing this, Tong Yan said in a teasing tone: "If you stay with me, what will Senior Sister A Le do?"
Shen Zhuangheng turned his head and looked at Jiang Qingle. She was not as free as him and could not leave Baiyin Valley all year round. After hesitating for a moment, he said, "I can go back to see her often."
As soon as he finished speaking, He Zhan responded promptly: "I don't need special care. I should go for training."
As soon as the idea came out, Tong Yan denied it, "The most important thing for you right now is to form the elixir. After forming the elixir, you can go wherever you want."
If you don't have enough cultivation, following her will only be a drag. He Zhan lowered his head in frustration and had nothing to say.
At the end of the conversation, Shen Zhuangheng still didn't get an accurate answer from Tong Yan whether to leave with them, but it was obvious that she wanted He Zhan to go with them.
After the two left, Tong Yan also left, and sat down in the pavilion in the courtyard, leaning against a pillar, looking at the scenery not far away, and slowly nibbling on the melon seeds in his arms.
Now that she has nowhere to go and is at home all over the world, she should think about how to live in the future.
For example, if you buy a yard somewhere and don't want to practice, you can prepare hot tea and books, lie on a chair and bask in the sun all day long.
She still has a lot of spirit stones, which are enough for her to use for a long time. In order to avoid sitting on nothing, she can resell the things she has gained through experience. Drawing talismans and carving formation plates is also a way to earn spirit stones. Once she has income, she will never starve to death.
The ideal life I once had was close at hand, but I never thought it would be realized in this way.
A long time passed unknowingly, and when another person came into the pavilion, there was already a small pile of melon seed shells at her feet.
Yi Shiqing sat down next to him, poured a cup of tea and handed it over, "You can easily get angry if you eat like this."
Taking the tea, Tong Yan smiled nonchalantly and said, "Once in a while, it's okay."
Yi Shiqing didn't say anything else. He glanced at the surrounding environment. The shadows of the trees were whirling and the water was gurgling. It was barely a quiet place.
"You've been sitting here for a long time." Yi Shiqing said, "What are you worried about?"
"I haven't thought about anything, my head is empty." Tong Yan sighed and looked into the distance.
Life has suddenly changed drastically, and my mind is so chaotic that I don’t even think about anything.
Yi Shiqing could understand Tong Yan's feelings. He paused, stretched out his palm, and a golden lotus appeared in his palm.
When Tong Yan looked over, he said, "Do you still remember my promise before? You can fulfill it at any time."
A steady stream of treasures, a safe place to stay, and she could even take her to Weicheng as a transaction involving both money and goods.
In this way, even if she offends Mrs. Chai and gets into trouble that she shouldn't get into, she doesn't have to feel guilty.
"Ahem." A deliberate cough sounded, interrupting the conversation between the two.
Tong Yan turned to look at the person who came. He was tall and straight in a black robe, which was very conspicuous against the spring background.
Yi Shiqing greeted him politely, without showing any displeasure at being suddenly disturbed, "Fellow Daoist Gu."
Gu Yuqi responded perfunctorily to Yi Shiqing, keeping his eyes on Tong Yan. When he saw that she only glanced over at first, he completely looked away and pursed his lips in displeasure.
"Xiaoyan, come here, I have something to do with you."
Tong Yan frowned and turned around. If there's anything you can't say here, "What's the matter?"
Gu Yuqi didn't say anything and glanced at Yi Shiqing next to him, which meant there was an outsider present.
Tong Yan could think of the reason why he was looking for her. The only reason they had a quarrel in the morning was about He Zhan. If Gu Yuqi came to apologize, it would be hard to say it in front of others.
"I have something to do here. Let's stop here today. It's getting dark soon. You should go back and rest early." Tong Yan said to Yi Shiqing.
Before Yi Shiqing could reply, Gu Yuqi, who was waiting over there, stepped forward impatiently, grabbed Tong Yan's wrist, and pulled him out.
Why does such a big person need her to worry about? Gu Yuqi said with a hint of ridicule, "How can he know how to go back by himself when it gets dark?"
The angry Tong Yan punched him on the shoulder.
If you can't speak, please shut up.
Watching the two of them walking out of the pavilion, the intimate gesture that seemed to be no one else came into view, and the faint smile on Yi Shiqing's lips gradually faded away. The gentle eyes that Tong Yan once thought had the power to save all sentient beings, now also became a little...
Frustrated and gloomy.
He seemed to have missed something.
Tong Yan, who was halfway there, suddenly stopped. He turned around and looked at Yi Shiqing's position with a feeling, and unexpectedly caught the other person's gaze.
Gu Yuqi looked puzzled, glanced inside the pavilion, and asked, "What's wrong?"
Tong Yan quickly looked away and said calmly, "It's okay, let's go."
Is it an illusion, right? The one who feels sad at this moment is myself, and the one who is sad is also myself.
Although she couldn't find a reason for these emotions at the moment.
They walked for a while and came to another pavilion not far from Tong Yan's room. As soon as they entered the pavilion, Tong Yan found a seat and sat down, raising his head slightly and looking up at the people a few steps away.
He leaned against the railing and said in a casual tone, "Tell me what's going on."
But she didn't expect that Gu Yuqi didn't tell her what he was looking for. Instead, he asked about other things unhappily, "How long have you been chatting there?"
After hearing these words, Tong Yan's expression changed immediately, and his eyes seemed to be poking at him, scanning him.
He said sarcastically: "You called me here just to talk about this. We can chat as long as we like. Do you want to take care of this?"
Gu Yuqi raised his eyes and glanced at her, saying in an inexplicable tone, "I don't care."
He has no position to care. He doesn't even have the right to be angry.
Tong Yan glared at him, "Then you're asking nonsense."
Gu Yuqi frowned and scolded slightly: "Who taught you to talk like this? It's rude."
He looked around at others, what on earth was he looking for?
Tong Yan suddenly stood up and walked out with a cold face, "You don't want to talk if you like!"
When the person was about to pass by Gu Yuqi, he suddenly stretched out his hand to grab the person and sat down on the stone bench next to him. His expression was tangled due to psychological struggle. After a moment, he spoke with difficulty.
"This morning...it was my fault, don't be angry."
Someone has to bow his head first. She doesn't care about herself as much as she cares about her. Staying in a deadlock with her will only push people away.
Tong Yan, who had just been pressed down, was still about to get angry when he suddenly heard him whispering an apology. He was stunned for a moment, and then the corners of his pursed lips curled up slightly.
He looked like he was dead, strangled He Zhan's wounds repeatedly and didn't admit his mistake, and walked away with a stern face. He was used to it.
"Do you really know that you're wrong?" Tong Yan looked at him with a bit of complaint in his tone, "I've never seen you take care of the injured like this."
Gu Yuqi put his hands behind his back, surrounded the person in the square inch in front of him, bent down, and closed the distance between them.
It was the first time I bowed my head, and it didn't feel so difficult to say it again, "I'm not as attentive as you, and I didn't take good care of you. It's right for you to be angry."
Gu Yuqi said this, but what he was thinking about was to send away that annoying He Zhan in two days to see how he would still be an eyesore in front of him.
While he was talking, Gu Yuqi took advantage of Tong Yan not paying attention and touched her forehead lightly. His warm lips parted at the touch, so fast that she couldn't react.
Then I heard him say again: "You ignored me all day today."
Just because of an annoying girl, she gets angry with him because of the smallest thing, but he still pretends to be generous, resists the urge to kill him, ignores the matter for the time being, and wants to find a way to reconcile with her.
"You don't miss me, but I will miss you."
He spoke word by word, feeling extremely aggrieved, as if Tong Yan had wronged him.
"You can scold me if you want. Next time I'll scold you while I'm standing. This will save you the trouble of turning around and forgetting about me as soon as I leave."
His vague breath fell on Tong Yan's face, and he spoke to her in an almost coquettish tone. Tong Yan thought it was because the weather was too hot, and the air around her felt a bit hot.
She turned sideways and pushed away his arm, trying to escape from the cage he had built with his body.
He opened his mouth to expel him, "Are you done? Start driving. I'm going back to my room for dinner."
Gu Yuqi, who was pushed away, sat on the stone bench where she had been sitting just now, stared at her leaving figure, and suddenly smiled for a moment.
