Chapter 766
"What do you mean by strange relationships. It was only a month after I came to the Divine Capital that I knew there was such a junior sister." Pei Ye switched the sword to the other hand, "It was the Head of Shenxiao Dao that Grandpa Yue knew when he was young, Yiner is her disciple, we have never met before."
"So that's how it is." Li Piaoqing actually didn't care about the two words "junior sister", she caught the intimate address "Yiner", "—What about that ability of yours to float the sword beside you? Very novel."
"Haha, this is what I just learned from a senior this morning." Pei Ye let go of his hand, and the sword floated beside him, "True Qi Technique 【Sword Tassel】, look, I don't need to spend effort to control it, and the person and sword are one. If anyone wants to steal my sword, I will wake up as soon as I open my eyes."
"Who would steal your sword." Li Piaoqing smiled, stretched out her finger and poked the jade tiger that floated over, "Really magical, like the means of a warlock."
"But it's a bit too eye-catching." Pei Ye smiled and caught it back in his hand, "Just this one move, I don't know if I can learn the ones behind, they say it's the secret transmission of the East Sea Sword Furnace."
"You used it when you went up to the pool just now, everyone said you looked like an immortal."
"Sigh, don't keep mentioning this." Pei Ye still couldn't accept the five big characters "Pei Ye Hobbyist Society" as soon as he thought of it.
Li Piaoqing smiled: "Actually, it's nothing. I was also startled at first, but then I remembered that in Bowang City, there were also many people who liked me, it's just that they didn't form any 'Li Piaoqing Hobbyist Society'."
Pei Ye was stunned and remembered: "That's right, when I entered the martial arts hall at that time, you came to teach the sword, and people were very welcoming."
"Hmm." The young girl held the sword with both hands behind her back and said warmly, "People who cannot practice always have a longing for sword heroes, because they feel it is romantic and can be trusted. No matter how nihilistic and shallow that is, it is always a kind of love, better than conspiracy, hostility, and hatred."
"There is already too much of the latter." She said.
"... That is so."
The two walked to the courtyard entrance at this time and saw the yellow skirt standing by the courtyard gate.
He Yaoyao did not dare to get too close to the courtyard gate because she was afraid that people coming in and out would notice her; she also did not dare to get too far from the courtyard gate because she was afraid that she wouldn't see Pei Ye when he went out, and if she lost him, being left alone in a strange place was simply a nightmare.
She dared not follow into the building even more because she didn't know anyone inside.
So when Pei Ye and Li Piaoqing walked over, they saw this woman standing elegantly and quietly three zhang to the left of the courtyard gate. There was a cluster of pale yellow flowers close to the color of her skirt, and she stood herself in the densest part, like an excessively tall yellow flower.
There was no pavilion here, so she held a small sword manual in front of her face, looking at it with a serious expression.
This choice of position could be called exquisite. If one passed by the courtyard gate normally, one would easily never notice her.
But her eyes were clearly observing in all directions. As soon as Pei Ye's figure turned, she immediately put down
the sword manual, as if she was afraid that the youth would miss her.
But the next moment, seeing the young girl in the green skirt beside the youth, her expression was stunned, and she actually seemed to want to cover her face with the sword manual again.
But Pei Ye had already called her: "True Disciple He."
He Yaoyao put down the sword manual somewhat stiffly: "Young Hero Pei..."
She looked at the green skirt full of spiritual energy beside the youth, and Li Piaoqing also looked at her with a smile.
"This... this..."
Pei Ye reached out to introduce: "This is my good friend Li Piaoqing from Shaolong Bowang, and also the Li Li Zhangmen of Jade Jade Mountain. She came to the Divine Capital with Tianshan; Piaoqing, this is True Disciple He Yaoyao of Xudao Mountain, third in the He Fu, very formidable. I have been asking her for sword theory just now."
Li Piaoqing smiled and performed a salute: "True Disciple He, I have long admired your great name, I have already seen you on the terrace just now."
"I, I am seeing you for the first time." He Yaoyao cupped her hands and bowed deeply, "He Yaoyao, the inferior disciple of the Xudao Mountain Li Li Zhangmen, greets Li Li Zhangmen Li on behalf of my sect!"
Li Piaoqing was startled and hurriedly waved her hand with a smile.
And returned the salute deeply.
Pei Ye said: "At this time you should recite the one for peers meeting for the first time."
"Oh." He Yaoyao's face flushed, but she didn't recite it again.
Pei Ye said: "I am going to leave the Tianshan Guest House in a while, is there a team from Xudao Mountain in the garden? I will send you over."
He Yaoyao shook her head: "I came by carriage myself."
She hesitated for a while: "If you are not taking me back to the Sword Training Academy, then just take me to the courtyard gate, I can go find the coachman."
"I'll take you..." Pei Ye was stunned and smiled, "I might be very late when I come back in the afternoon, taking you to the Sword Training Academy won't have any swords to discuss... you can't live in the Sword Training Academy anyway."
"I can also stay overnight, it doesn't matter."
Pei Ye was stunned: "The main thing is... there is no place for you to live."
He Yaoyao seemed to react only at this time, her face flushed: "Oh."
"Why, are you unwilling to return to Xudao Mountain?" Pei Ye seemed to understand a little.
"Because many people come to visit the place where I stay... if I am there, I have to come out to meet them." He Yaoyao lowered her head and whispered.
Li Piaoqing thought for a while and smiled: "True Disciple He, why don't you stay here for a few days, I will ask Tianshan to send an invitation to your sect, saying that I invite you to come and discuss the sword."
"..."
"Although there are no acquaintances here, the Tianshan disciples will not bother you." Li Piaoqing said, thought for a while, "If True Disciple He doesn't mind, I can also be your acquaintance."
"Ah... thank you Li Li Zhangmen Li."
Li Piaoqing smiled, and the few walked towards the outside of the courtyard together: "I will take True Disciple He to a small pavilion where there is absolutely no one to rest first."
He Yaoyao looked at her gratefully.
"How did True Disciple He and Pei Ye meet?" Pei Ye was walking on the side holding the little cat, and Li Piaoqing said to He Yaoyao.
He Yaoyao recalled and was very honest: "We met at the Willow Town Inn outside the city, ate a meal together, and stayed for one night."
Pei Ye hurriedly interjected: "In different rooms."
He Yaoyao looked at him blankly: "Hmm."
Li Piaoqing smiled: "Don't pay attention to him, he doesn't know what he's thinking."
"..." Pei Ye glared at her.
The Tianshan Guest House was indeed very large, but the young girl was familiar with the road and took He Yaoyao to a very quiet small pavilion. Just looking at the location, one could feel that there would be absolutely no one to disturb. Every time they walked a bit deeper, Pei Ye saw He Yaoyao's expression relax by a point, and in the end, she was simply as relaxed as if she had arrived home.
Pei Ye was really seeing the relaxed and easy-going temperament in this woman for the first time, and suddenly understood that the nickname "Yellow Cloud Immortal" probably meant that the only thing suitable for her to be with was isolated peaks, idle clouds, and wild cranes.
Li Piaoqing leaned against the pavilion door and chatted with her for a few words, then called an attendant to give proper instructions, and settled this Xudao Mountain true disciple.
Then the two went towards the garden and returned to the seats of the Sword Training Academy. There were people coming and going here too. Many people subconsciously avoided Pei Ye when they saw his face, and some nodded with a smile.
Li Tishui had already left the seat and left a note for Pei Ye to meet again. Jiang Yiner was still in the original place, and many people came to see her. Although the young girl was not as afraid of people as He Yaoyao, she was also fond of quietness. At this time, she probably had to stand in the middle of six or seven people as the Shenxiao true disciple.
Pei Ye found it hard to imagine how chaotic the heart sounds she heard were, so he left Li Piaoqing on the edge, walked to the periphery, and stood there, watching the young girl.
Sure enough, Jiang Yiner saw him at a glance. After exchanging a few pleasantries and ending the topic, she said uprightly: "Junior Brother has waited a long time, I am coming now."
When everyone turned their heads and saw this youth standing like a crane, looking like a stern brother with no expression, they all understood, and Jiang Yiner trotted two steps to Pei Ye's side.
The two left the seats of the Sword Training Academy, and Pei Ye tilted his head and smiled: "True Disciple Jiang, what have I waited for you for? You lied to escape, I am going to report to your master."
Jiang Yiner widened her eyes: "Junior Brother seduced me."
"What did I seduce? I just stood there for a while, I didn't expect that Daoist Jiang, who 'absolutely refuses to deceive the master', would also have such insight."
Jiang Yiner had thin skin. The little bit of dishonesty was caught by him, and her face flushed red. She was slightly annoyed and said: "Junior Brother, don't look for me to practice the sword in the future."
But as soon as she finished speaking, she noticed a strange young girl in a green skirt under the tree in front looking over with a smile. At this time, she realized that the youth had brought her over here from the beginning.
She reacted faster than He Yaoyao, immediately restrained her expression, and turned to look at the youth first.
"I came to say goodbye to you, and save you by the way." Pei Ye said,
gesturing, "I am going out with someone now, and will return to the Sword Training Academy by myself tonight, no need to wait for me."
"... Oh."
Li Piaoqing raised her sleeves and cupped her hands: "The 'Little White Dragon' Jiang Yiner is before me, I have long admired your great name."
Jiang Yiner raised her hand blankly. Pei Ye was a bit embarrassed and said: "This is Li Piaoqing, the Li Li Zhangmen of Jade Jade Mountain from Shaolong Bowang, we have some business."
Jiang Yiner was slightly startled in her heart and returned the salute: "Li Li Zhangmen Li, I also... have long admired your great name."
Li Piaoqing smiled and nodded, but glanced at Pei Ye.
Jiang Yiner looked at this beautiful young girl. At first glance, she was lively, and looking closely, she was clear and sharp. A pair of speaking eyes explored to the depths, but it was quiet energy.
At this time, she realized that she actually couldn't hear this young girl's heart sounds about herself, and couldn't help but be surprised again.
"I am far away in Shaolong, I am afraid I don't have any great name to be admired." Li Piaoqing said, "Pei Ye and I haven't seen each other for a long time, so I will occupy him for an afternoon, delaying the two of you from practicing the sword, I am very sorry."
Jiang Yiner hurriedly shook her head: "No, no, we actually don't practice together much, we just often go to the same sword field, Li Li Zhangmen Li can occupy him for as many days as you want."
Li Piaoqing smiled: "What would I occupy him for for a few days, he still has to practice the sword to take the Feather Scale Test."
Jiang Yiner's face flushed slightly: "I also... I also don't know what to do."
Because she couldn't hear the heart sounds, Jiang Yiner had an extra interest and good feeling for this young girl. She looked at her with some curiosity. If it weren't for the fact that Junior Brother said he had something to do, she would actually quite like to get to know her.
In Li Piaoqing's view, this clean Daoist young girl was another kind of feeling.
Since she carried the Heart-Transmitting Candle and the Quail Head, most people's beliefs and memories were only separated by a thin veil in front of her.
She rarely lifted it to look, the time and effort were secondary, but more because she firmly believed that people's thinking was not just guiding words and deeds, but words and deeds would conversely shape thinking deeply.
If one was accustomed to casually viewing the depths of others' souls, and then smilingly watching the performance of their words and deeds, then one would definitely gradually lose awe for people themselves, and think oneself had become another noble species.
Because she carried the Chuan Xin Zhu, Li Piaoqing was very clear that she could see these subtle hidden dangers. She was indeed more accustomed to using it to analyze herself and look through her memories again and again.
However, even so, even if the Heart-Transmitting Candle could not capture people's shallow heart sounds and thoughts, she was far more likely to understand others than in the past. In the perception of emotions, she had become much more sensitive. Whether a person's mind and spirit had obsessions and omissions, to her, it was like touching a foreign object under smooth silk, and everyone's shape was different.
Pei Ye had very deep, very deep cracks. When she touched them, her heart was pulled heavily, and the surroundings were all sharp or solid bulges, simply stinging.
But he also had the most intense candle sword, like a raging fire.
It was hard to imagine how such a heart could behave no differently from ordinary people on weekdays
?? Perhaps it was the credit of the Quail Head.
And besides those bottomless cracks, her own shape was very similar to Pei Ye's, also full of scars and ruggedness, but each wound was not festering, but burning with bright flames.
This was a very rare state. Li Piaoqing seemed to see the same potential in this Daoist young girl today.
Her heart candle was so pure that it made one stare, the color of heart poison was almost impossible to find, only purity was innocence, and combined with firmness was the candle sword. That heart candle was rooted very deep, sharp as a sword.
Li Piaoqing almost saw the torture that this pure heart would inevitably suffer in the future, but also saw its unyielding will.
So at this time, she quickly understood why the youth's love for this "junior sister" was overflowing. She reached out with some pity and patted her shoulder lightly.
Jiang Yiner was a bit surprised and smiled at her blankly.
Pei Ye said: "Okay, I will return to the Sword Training Academy tonight, I am just going to handle some things—you can go to the small building over there to find Cui Zhaoye and the others, so you don't have to be disturbed here."
Because he had mentioned "Li Piaoqing" to the young girl a few times before, the two standing together made him inexplicably uncomfortable, and he couldn't help but dismiss her again.
"Understood." Jiang Yiner actually wanted to chat with this Piaoqing sister for two more sentences, but seeing Junior Brother's awkwardness, she obediently left.
"You must take good care of this junior sister in the future." Li Piaoqing looked at the young girl's back and said.
"I know." Pei Ye was clear about what she was saying.
And only the two were left again. He was indeed much more relaxed. The two walked towards the outside of the garden together. He used to think that it would be awkward for him and Piaoqing to get along again, but only now did he know that it would only be awkward if someone else was added.
He still enjoyed the time alone with the young girl in his heart, even if it was good to walk without saying a word.
Li Piaoqing probably felt the same way. The two walked out of the guest house and went north along the street, without calling for carriages or horses.
The sky was burning a bit, dyed with pieces of warm yellow. People and horses were bustling, and those who were closing stalls and those who were setting up stalls were intertwined.
"The Divine Capital is really beautiful. But I strolled around by myself a few days ago, no one was a guide, I didn't know what many places were for, and I made some jokes." Li Piaoqing smiled.
"If there is anything you don't know, I will tell you. I don't go to the south much, but the East City and West City are relatively familiar."
"Hmm, that's why I dragged you to lead the way for me."
"Where do you want to go? Actually, I don't necessarily know, but we can ask."
Li Piaoqing smiled: "You definitely know, Layman Qi said you just came out of there this morning, which is why I asked you to point the way."
"..."
"I'm going to visit Her Highness Jinyang at the Xiuwen Hall. If you don't want to go in, just take me to the door." The young girl said seriously.
She looked at him somewhat mischievously, but Pei Ye was truly stiff.
