Linglong Pavilion. In the window of the small porch.
Xu Han frowned and sat cross-legged in the courtyard.
It had already been three days since they had returned to Linglong Pavilion. Everyone had suffered injuries, big or small, from the previous incident, so they immediately separated to recuperate.
During that time, Ning Zhumang came to see Xu Han and learned about the situation. He also sent Xu Han a medicinal pill called the Jade Pill, which was a unique healing medicine in the Exquisite Pavilion.
Everything that happened to the crowd was sealed off by the Linglong Pavilion's orders. It was not because of anything else. It was just that the emergence of the flood dragon was of great importance. If it were to spread to ordinary disciples, they would be afraid of causing them to panic.
However, this was a family matter of the Linglong Pavilion. Since Ning Zhumang had already spoken about this matter, Xu Han was not a gossipy woman who liked to chew her tongue.
Only Xu Han and Feng Yan were severely injured. Although the others were also injured, they had all recovered after treatment. In the past few days, everyone had also come to visit Xu Han. Even You Lingqu was no exception. The grudge between the two of them had almost dissipated because of the flood dragon incident. Xu Han was also saved from a troublesome situation, which surprised Xu Han a little.
However, what Xu Han faced immediately afterwards was even more troublesome.
That day, he absorbed a lot of dragon qi. His golden core was gradually covered with a layer of dark purple under the infection of the dragon qi. Xu Han had tried to activate the purple qi in the golden core, but the other party did not respond.
Xu Han couldn't help but feel a little worried, so these past few days, Chu Chou had left Dahuan Peak and "smoothed" some ancient books about the dragon race, carefully studying them. In the end, the conclusion was that this purple energy was the only dragon energy in the dragon race's body.
Xu Han could not understand why his Golden Core would automatically absorb the dragon qi, nor could he understand what kind of trouble this dragon qi would cause him if he continued to hide in his body for a long time.
However, although this was a bit troublesome, it was not a problem that Xu Han needed to face right now.
At this moment, what gave him the most headache was the trouble in front of him.
"Martial Uncle Hongjian, hurry up and leave. It's fine as long as you have Keqing here. After all, you're from a wealthy family. You can't do anything in this kitchen."
"Although Hongjian is from a wealthy family, he has never slacked off in his ability to serve his husband. However, Qing has overthought it. Let me do these things."
At this moment, two female voices came from the kitchen. They were gentle and charming, like the cry of an oriole. It sounded very modest to each other, but Xu Han inexplicably smelled something like a golden goat.
Three days ago, after Xu Han returned to the small porch window, Qin Keqing would come here every day to take care of Xu Han.
At first, Xu Han was a little embarrassed. Furthermore, he faintly felt that Qin Keqing had already guessed his identity. From the attitude she displayed on the way back, Xu Han could see some clues.
This was not something Xu Han intentionally concealed. However, once Qin Keqing found out about his identity, it might bring some unknown troubles to Qin Keqing. Therefore, Xu Han originally did not want Qin Keqing to get too close to him.
However, Qin Keqing insisted on doing so. Xu Han repeatedly said that he did not need to take care of her. However, Qin Keqing did not know whether she was deliberately pretending to be confused or did not understand, so she turned a deaf ear to this.
Xu Han had no choice. In addition, the food Qin Keqing cooked was really delicious. It was much stronger than Chu Chouli's. In the end, Xu Han did not insist and allowed her to do so.
However, what she never expected was that Ye Hongjian , who was originally in seclusion at the peak of Zhongju Peak, had suddenly rushed back to visit Xu Han.
Of course, her reason was because Xu Han was the descendant of the Headmaster, and it was related to the rise and fall of the Tiance Prefecture , so she was so concerned about Xu Han. However, just as she finished saying this and asked about Xu Han's trip, Qin Keqing , who was carrying a large basket of ingredients, pushed open the door of the small porch window as usual.
So…
This Little Martial Uncle suddenly changed his mind after a moment of uncertainty on his face. He decided to stay in the Little Xuan window to take care of his fiance.
This was the problem that caused Xu Hanren's brain to ache.
The two women jingled in the kitchen, Occasionally, even Xu Han would hear an awkward laugh. Chu Chouli, who had seen the world before, knew that this place was not suitable for him to stay for long. He casually found an excuse and left this place of trouble. He left Xu Han alone in the courtyard, waiting for the two of them to deliver him a dinner that he would never forget in his life.
In fact, this was true. Qin Keqing and Ye Hongjian served Xu Han more than ten plates of delicious dishes. It was filled with stone tables in the courtyard. Then, the two of them sat down beside Xu Han and looked at him expectantly.
At that time, Xu Han felt a chill in his heart that he had never felt even when facing that flood dragon.
"Hurry up and eat. It's getting cold." Xu Han raised his chopsticks and hesitated, not daring to lower them for a long time. Thus, the two of them gently urged.
Although the dishes on the table were filled to the brim, they were completely different. The six portions on the left were made by Qin Keqing , and the six portions on the right were made by Ye Hongjian .
Whichever one was eaten first would probably attract the dissatisfaction of the other. Thinking of this, Xu Han's brain felt a burst of pain.
Just after the two women urged him a few times, Xu Han's mind suddenly flashed. He picked up a pair of chopsticks and started working with both of his hands at the same time. As he picked up a dish and put it into his mouth, no one would offend him.
However, when the two women saw this, their faces revealed expressions of embarrassment and anger.
"Eat them all! Then eat them all!" Thus, the two of them reached an agreement and looked fiercely at Xu Han.
Xu Han did not understand why he had angered the two of them, but seeing their expressions at this moment, he knew that there was no room for explanation, so he could only bite the bullet and finish the whole table.
…
After the meal was over, Xu Han consciously finished washing the dishes and chopsticks. The three of them chatted together for a long time, but the atmosphere was so heavy that Xu Han's scalp felt numb.
Fortunately, Qin Keqing understood Xu Han's injuries and got up after a while to bid farewell. However, before leaving, she said that she wanted to help Xu Han tidy up the blankets. She had always been like this these past few days. Xu Han had said a few times that it was useless, so he could only let her do so.
Originally, he had thought that Qin Keqing would leave after finishing this matter, so Xu Han could also jump out of this awkward atmosphere.
Xu Han secretly heaved a sigh of relief. Before he could be happy, Qin Keqing suddenly looked at Ye Hongjian after tidying up the blankets. She asked curiously, "Oh right, Martial Uncle, why does Young Master Xu sleep in Brother Chu's room every day? Could it be you guys?" With that, the girl's face revealed a look of suspicion as she looked at the two of them up and down.
At that time, Xu Han's heart skipped a beat as he thought to himself, "Not good." He hurriedly turned his head to look at Ye Hongjian .
At that time, Little Martial Uncle's expression changed.
Then, she gritted her teeth and walked to Xu Han's side to hold his hand. Her face was filled with a gentle expression that made Xu Han's heart go cold.
Then she looked at Qin Keqing and narrowed her eyes. She smiled faintly and said, "That's because I'm not at home. Now I'm back."
"Husband naturally has to sleep with me."
Chapter 69 From Today Onwards, You Will Sleep Here!
Ye Hongjian 's words exceeded Qin Keqing 's expectations, exceeded Xu Han's expectations, and exceeded her own expectations.
However, since he had spoken, there was no possibility of withdrawing it.
Ye Hongjian looked at Qin Keqing , who had her eyes wide open, and then at Xu Han, whose mouth could be stuffed with an orange. Even her face couldn't help but turn red at that time.
However, she still forcefully pulled Xu Han into her bedroom that no one had ever been in before.
A trace of loneliness flashed through Qin Keqing 's eyes at that time, but she quickly remembered something. She raised her head to look at the two people who had already entered the room. A rare expression of determination appeared on the young girl's forehead, and then she turned around and left the small porch window with this determination.
…
In the room, Ye Hongjian leaned against the door and watched Qin Keqing leave. At this moment, she heaved a sigh of relief and turned to look at Xu Han.
However, he saw that the youth was currently observing his nose and heart with his eyes, as if he was an old monk meditating.
Without any reason, Qin Keqing was furious at that time.
"Amazing! How long has it been since that little alchemist's heart has been set on the ground?" Ye Hongjian purposely suppressed her voice and said. However, her voice was already so beautiful that even if she wanted to make trouble, it still sounded like an oriole's cry.
Hearing this, Xu Han smiled bitterly and shook his head, "I am not from the same world as her. If my identity were exposed one day, the entire Linglong Pavilion would probably not be able to hold the people who wanted to kill me."
Xu Han's words weren't false, but Canghai Liu's name was enough to accomplish this, not mentioning the identity of the Headmaster's disciple.
However, when Xu Han's words landed in Ye Hongjian 's ears, their taste changed.
"In that case, if it weren't for this kind of trouble, you would have already taken that little lady into your pocket?" Ye Hongjian raised her eyebrows and narrowed her eyes at Xu Han.
Xu Han did not want to get entangled with her on this issue. At that time, his expression sank and his voice lowered a bit.
"I'm afraid I'll have to leave Linglong Pavilion in a few days."
"Huh?" Hearing this, Ye Hongjian was stunned and subconsciously asked, "Why?"
Perhaps it was because Xu Han's words had far exceeded her expectations, or perhaps there were some reasons in her heart that she could not explain clearly. At that time, Ye Hongjian 's voice became a bit louder and her tone was a bit strange.
For this reason, Xu Han also raised his eyes to look at her doubtfully, as if he was wondering why she had such a big reaction.
Ye Hongjian quickly realized that she had lost her composure. She blushed and pretended to explain calmly, "You are the disciple of the Headmaster's grandfather. Right now, the Headmaster's grandfather's whereabouts are unknown. If you die, he will come back one day to find out that I did not take good care of you."
"Haha." Hearing this, Xu Han smiled. How could he not see that Ye Hongjian wanted to cover it up? However, he did not intend to probe into the reason behind it. "My identity is special. After staying for a long time, I will inevitably reveal some clues. Now that my purpose of coming to the Exquisite Pavilion has been achieved, there is no reason for me to stay."
"But where are you going?" Ye Hongjian asked.
Not only did Ye Hongjian want to know the answer to this question, but Xu Han also wanted to know the answer.
Wherever he wanted to go and where he could go, all of this was a problem for Xu Han.
Twelve years ago, in order to survive as a beggar, he went wherever he could get a mouthful of food.
After that, he became the Asura of the Dark Asura Hall for four years in order to survive. Whatever Dark Asura Hall asked him to do, he would do it.
In the end, this trip to Linglong was for the sake of survival.
Now, he had finally solved the hidden dangers on his body and regained his freedom. It seemed that he could go to many places and do many things that he wanted to do when he was a beggar.
However, for some reason, he was confused.
So he shook his head and said, "I don't know…"
"Then why did you leave?" Ye Hongjian rolled her eyes at Xu Han, feeling that this youth was very strange.
Xu Han naturally had a reason to leave.
He is a man who cherishes his life. He wants to live.
He did not have the integrity of those scholars, nor did he bear the fate of being exquisite like Ning Zhumang .
He just wanted to live, so he could be a beggar or a killer.
But just a few days ago, he almost died for a group of people who didn't want to do it, and what was even more terrifying was that at that time, he didn't regret it at all.
This kind of change made Xu Han very uncomfortable and even a little frightened. He felt that it was time to leave.
However, he could not explain such a thing to Ye Hongjian , so he could only remain silent.
However, this silence fell in Ye Hongjian 's eyes and she thought that Xu Han had some unavoidable difficulties. She was slightly stunned and sat down beside Xu Han with a rare gentleness. She said, "No matter what difficulties you have, I can face them together with you."
In the end, she seemed to realize that this was a bit inappropriate. She hurriedly added, "After all, you are the disciple of the Headmaster's grandfather. I have an obligation to protect you."
These words were to comfort Xu Han, but at the same time, they were also to comfort herself.
Hearing this, Xu Han was also stunned. Ye Hongjian 's attitude made him somewhat unaccustomed. He looked up and down at the girl in front of him, and the expression on his face was almost that of what kind of conspiracy you had.
Ye Hongjian naturally saw through Xu Han's thoughts, and Little Martial Uncle, who was still embarrassed just now, immediately changed his expression.
"Fuck off!" She shouted at Xu Han with the loudest sound she could make.
Xu Han instinctively shrunk his neck. Although he still did not understand where he had offended Ye Hongjian , he did not dare to touch this young miss' bad luck. He quickly stood up and wanted to leave the room.
"Where to?" However, just as he walked to the door, Ye Hongjian shouted again.
"Ah?" Xu Han looked back at Ye Hongjian in confusion and replied, "Go back to your room and sleep."
It wasn't that he hadn't thought about why Ye Hongjian wanted to compete with Qin Keqing , but that thought had just appeared in Xu Han's mind and was rejected by him.
What was Ye Hongjian 's identity? Of course, there was no need to say. In just two months, she had broken through to the Pill Yang Realm. Even the Three Elements Realm seemed to have reached the brink of completion. With her speed, she could probably enter the Nether Opening Realm within three months. How extraordinary was her talent? Perhaps only someone like Chen Xuanji was worthy of Ye Hongjian .
It was impossible for her to fall in love with Xu Han in such a short period of time.
Xu Han was well aware of this.
Previously, Xu Han had secretly guessed that it was only Ye Hongjian 's desire to win, so he did not go into it.
"But who would have thought that just as he said that, a quilt was fiercely thrown over by Ye Hongjian ."
Before Xu Han could ask, Ye Hongjian 's voice sounded again.
"Don't go out. From today onwards, you will sleep in this room."
"Huh?" Xu Han was stunned again. He couldn't help but secretly think in his heart, in order to fight for breath, would Miss Ye be able to do such a thing? Or do you really have a crush on me?
However, just as such a fantasy arose, it was ruthlessly shattered by Ye Hongjian .
The young martial uncle looked at Xu Han with a dazed expression and knew that this youth's thoughts had already gone astray.
She stamped her foot and gave Xu Han a fierce glance before adding.
"I'm talking about the ground!"
