Fang
Yu raised his hand to flip Qiu Yue's hair as he spoke.
Her
cheek burned with a crimson heat, "Brother Fang…"
"I'll
go out and buy some cakes and spiritual wine later. How about talking with me
in my room tonight?" Fang Yu whispered to her.
Qiu
Yue felt her ears burning. Though she understood what other sisters usually did
in Fang Yu's room, she was fascinated by him.
"Uh,
I'll come…" She said in a low voice.
"So,
feed it to Song Ning." Fang Yu gave a piece of elixir to her.
Qiu
Yue took the elixir and puzzled, "Fang Yu, what's it?"
"Take
it easy, it is non-toxic. I just want to teach him a lesson. He made the master
so angry that all disciples suffer. Shouldn't he be fixed?"
Qing
Yue nodded, "Yes, you are right. He is so unappreciative."
"Now
it's over to you, remember to come to my room at night." Fang Yu pinched her
cheek gently.
Qiu
Yue was secretly pleased and she watched Fang Yu leave. Then she carried Song
Ning to the wood room with the elixir in her hand.
Though
she had no idea of why Fang Yu said that Song Ning had led to Leng Yuexiao's
failure, she agreed that Song Ning had made the master angry indeed. He was
just an ordinary disciple and the elixir was not poison. Fixing him could
please Fang Yu, so why didn't she do that?
In
the wood room, Song Ning lay on the woodpile vaguely.
Qiu
Yue saw him lying unconscious. She finally made up her mind and fed him the elixir.
With
everything done, she left the wood room quickly.
…
In
late autumn the weather was a little cold. The moon hung in the midair, faintly
adding some coldness to the late night.
Leng
Yuexiao was placed in confinement. She opened the window and watched the layers
of silver waves. She couldn't help sighing in her mind, "Why was the master so
angry? She even confined me to the room…"
She
had bright eyes, white teeth and tender lips. She raised her delicate hands to
tuck her hair behind. Her black hair swept in the wind. A myriad of thoughts
crowded into her minds.
"Without
me, he would not have been in such a dangerous situation, he might live a life
of ease, he would…" Leng Yuexiao found herself very sentimental unconsciously.
Suddenly,
she heard a sound of footsteps. Immediately, Red Maple appeared in her room.
"Master."
Leng Yuexiao bowed hurriedly.
Red
Maple gave a flick of her sleeve and sat on a chair, "Do you know you did
something wrong?"
"I…"
Leng Yuexiao hesitated.
Red
Maple let out a long breath, "Xiaoxiao, the cultivation process is truly filled
with fights, during which even brothers and sisters, parents and teachers may
become enemies with you. Your indecisive character doesn't work."
"Sorry,
master." Leng Yuexiao nodded.
"Xiaoxiao,
for the Magic Taoist Scripture, think
it carefully. If you cannot find a way in one month, I would refine him
forcibly," said Red Maple.
She
nodded, "Yes, master."
"Reflect
on yourself here. Don't get out." Red Maple swung her arms and left like a
sweeping wind.
Leng
Yuexiao sat in her room, looking at the moon and sighing. For Song Ning who
could only live another month, she felt guilty about it, because it was caused
by her.
"Does
he wake up?" Leng Yuexiao murmured.
