“I often think of you.” Xuanji yawned and said in a low voice, “The rooms of the disciples at the Xiaoyang Peak are all so big and empty, and I sleep alone in a big room, quiet and silent. I thought about you guys all the time and wondered what you were doing.”
In the darkness, Linglong listened to her voice quietly, and the feeling of the past vaguely returned. The girl on the other side is still so soft, needing her own protection and looking over her shoulder.
She gently took Xuanji’s hand, as she did when she was a child, pressed her forehead, closed her eyes and whispered, “I too have been thinking about you for a long time. I’m afraid you won’t get used to being there and will be bullied… If I’m not beside you.”
“Linglong…” Xuanji called out to her. The two of them suddenly burst out laughing, and the four-year barrier seemed to have been broken in an instant.
“But now you don’t need me to protect you anymore,” Linglong said. “You seem to have learned everything since we haven’t seen each other for four years, but I am still the same. Even Little Six has progressed farther than me.”
Xuanji opened her eyes and stared at her for a while. Linglong was so furious at what she was looking at that she pushed her and said in anger, “What are you looking at!
She laughed and turned over, like a lazy big cat, with her hands and feet stretched out softly, her white fingers rubbed twice on her face, and she slowly said, “I don’t know what I have learned. , But you become a great beauty that my eyes have to see.”
Linglong’s face blushed, but she was secretly pleased, and coughed twice, pretending to be serious and asked her: “I… how can I become a beauty? Have I changed a lot?”
“Changed a lot. Xuanji sat up suddenly, stretched out her hand and touched her chin, and said in a rude voice, “Girl, give me a smile.”
“Stop it!” Linglong rolled her eyes.
The two of them leaned together and felt warm and happy, just like the time when they were small and carefree. One of them made a mistake, and the other one was protecting the other, quietly hiding in the darkness, holding hands tightly. No one wanted to leave the other.
Time flies, and the New Year is fast approaching. From disciples to masters in the Shaoyang Sect, all of them put aside their daily hard work and treat the New Year as their top priority. All the branches have their own tasks to do, from shopping, cleaning and making new clothes, everyone is busy.
The disciples of the Min Generation are no longer children, so they can’t play lazily like before. Their mission was to go to the wine cellar and bring out the pear blossom wine that they had hidden for a year for the kitchen.
Xuanji has always had a bad habit of lying on her bed, so she didn’t dare to sleep openly at Shaoyang Peak, but when she arrived at Xiaoyang Peak, no one cared about her and she slept happily until it was dark. But now she’s back at Shaoyang Peak again, where everyone’s listening to the rooster dance and she’s forced to be dragged out of bed by Linglong, and walked towards the wine cellar half asleep.
“Stop rubbing your eyes! They are red as a rabbit!” Ling Long pulled her hand down, “Why haven’t you gotten rid of this lazy habit all these years! Come on, wake up!”
Xuanji followed her dazedly, almost falling to the ground with her head nodding and almost hitting the wall with her head.
“Look at you! Nothing!”
Ling Long bounced up again as an older sister, talking about her in a serious manner. Before she could say anything, she heard someone behind her call out, “Sister Ling Long!”
The two turned their heads together, but saw two or three children around eleven or twelve-year-old running over. The first one is a pretty girl with big eyes and a face full of vitality, and she looks a lot like Linglong when she was little.
“It’s Wenying! What can I do for you?”
So these children are the new disciples of the Wen generation, and they are all very innocent, because Ling Long is the most energetic and beautiful, and she likes to play the big sister, so many little girls like to play with her, and they usually come to her when they have nothing to do.
The girl named Wenying was about to say something when she suddenly saw Xuanji, who had a confused look on her face, and was stunned. Xuanji has been staying at Xiaoyang Peak for the past four years, so none of the new disciples of Shaoyang Peak know her.
Ling Long introduced her, “This is Senior Sister Xuanji, my younger sister. She has been practicing with Aunt Chu at Xiaoyang Peak and is back for the New Year.”
The children hastened to greet her respectfully, “I’ve met Sister Xuanji!”
Xuanji casually nodded her head and rubbed her eyes as she went away. She’s still not fully awake.
“What do you want from me? Someone’s picking on you?”
Ling Long asks her, thinking that some bastard is bullying her junior sister again.
Wen Ying shakes her head, “No! Sister Ling Long, isn’t it going to be a New Year soon? We wanted to have some fun. Sister Wen Yu said she had taken singing and dancing lessons before, so we decided to have a song and dance party for the New Year.”
Ling Long’s eyes lit up and she smiled, “That’s a great idea by a little girl! Not bad! Sounds like fun!”
Wenying smiled, “So, let the senior sister speak to the master… We are afraid that the master doesn’t like it… the old master has always been more… what, serious and serious.”
Linglong immediately patted her chest: “It’s okay, let me take care of it! You just have to rehearse!”
Wenying was delighted when she said, “Thank you, Sister! In fact, it’s no fun for us kids to play games. It’s more fun if you guys prepare some music.”
Linglong was a fun-loving person, so there was no reason not to participate. “I’ll ask Brother Zhong and the others. I’m sure they won’t lose to you kids.”
Those kids laughed a few times and pestered her for a while before they left.
Linglong turned back to Xuanji and was about to tell her what to play with, but she was leaning against a tree – she was asleep!
“You little brat ! Still the same!”
Xuanji and Ling Long were nagging each other for a whole day.
After finally moving the wine and returning to the yard, Xuanji shouted that she had a backache and headache and she was going to sleep. They pushed open the door and saw He Danping sitting inside, sewing with her head down. When she saw them return, she smiled and waved, “Come here. Try new clothes.”
She unfolded what she was sewing in her head, they were two new dresses, one water green and one pink.
Ling Long rushed over to the dress and looked at it with her hands. “This is the new dress style. Mother, did you do this?”
He Danping smiled and said, “Mother can only hold a sword, how can she make clothes? I bought some fabric and asked a tailor in Shanxia to make them. I saw that the two dresses were bare, so I embroidered some patterns for you. Try them on and see if they fit.”
Linglong snatched the pink one and said, “My sister didn’t like these colors when she was little, so give her the green one.”
He Danping looked at her angrily, “Your sister hasn’t chosen yet, how do you know she doesn’t like red?”
Xuanji hurriedly stated her position, “I like the green one, I want the green one.”
They put on new clothes, and they were both in the right size, but the green one was only half embroidered with a peony.
“Xuanji, take off your clothes first, I’ll give it to you tomorrow after I finish the embroidery.”
He Danping was very happy to see her daughter standing tall in her new clothes.
Xuanji looked at the clothes on her and shook her head, “No, I’ll do it myself. There’s still charms that have to be drawn on it.”
As she said that, she took off her clothes, picked up the needle and thread, and embroidered it so skillfully that she almost dropped her naughty eyes.
“Xuanji? When did you learn to embroider?” She asked incredulously, she remember this little sister as a little rascal who can’t even walk with her eyes open!
“My master said I was lazy and would forget to draw the symbols, so the first thing I had to do when I bought new clothes was to embroider the symbols on them. I’ve gotten used to it over the years, and even my master compliments me on my skill.”
Xuanji was so proud of having something to brag about that he finished the embroidery of a peony in just a few steps.
After that, she took out the silver thread, compared the size, and quickly embroidered the spell from head to toe.
Usually, they only saw their swords flickering, but never saw flying like needles. Xuanji’s hands were as fast as if a fairy had cast a spell on her, and her fingers were as thin as a pair of white butterflies.
Xuanji breathed a sigh of relief, shook out her clothes and said with a smile, “This is good.”
Both of them were surprised.
