In the elegant and ancient tea pavilion, the old man is reading a book, the young girl is drinking milk and eating snacks. The slanting sunset light shines in from the outside, creating a quiet and peaceful atmosphere.
This is Yun Xi’s normal state in the tea pavilion.
After sitting there for an unknown amount of time, Yun Xi finished drinking the milk and put down the snacks in her hands. After Mr. Wei read a piece of content in the book, he said, "Mr. Wei, I have something to report to you."<
/p>
Mr. Wei put down the book in his hand, raised his head and said, "Just tell me."
Yun Xi said: "I went to Yutanzhang yesterday because my friend was deceived, and then I discovered that the Yutan Temple in Yutanzhang seems to be related to the demon clan."
Hearing this, Mr. Wei nodded: "Yu Tan Temple...the Nightmare Beast clan is behind them. They are just looking for people, so don't worry about them."
"Eh?" Yun Xi blinked, "So Mr. Wei knows about it."
Wei Guiyi smiled and said: "The person who gave them accommodation was Zhao Fuguo, who was Qiu Jinlai's subordinate. They have always been good at making money. If you are interested in this matter, you can also go find him. You can't tell him.
I’ll also treat you to a meal.”
Among the three great courts of the Tianling Alliance, Qiu Jinlai is mainly in charge of the overall economy of the Tianling Alliance. It can be said without hesitation that Qiu Jinlai is the richest and most proficient person in the world.
Due to his influence, his governors were also very good at amassing money.
This actually made many other governors a little envious and disgusted, but there was nothing they could do.
You can't report corruption and bribery, right? What happened with Governor Gui...how can it be called corruption?
"Oh."
Yun Xi didn't have much reaction to this. The reason why she told Mr. Wei about this was not to harm Yutan Temple, but simply to express to Mr. Wei that she knew about the matter and did not hide it. p>
She is not a fool. Naturally, she can feel the care and love shown to her by Mr. Wei and several other Hua Ting. In return, she cannot only think about herself. It is best not to hide anything if she can.
Therefore, she looked at Mr. Wei in confusion and asked, "Aren't you curious about why I know they are from the Monster Clan?"
"Are you going to tell me?"
Seeing Mr. Wei's half-smiling expression, Yun Xi immediately knew that Mr. Wei knew about the existence of Yi Meng.
Also, Yun Xi had already prepared for this. In fact, after Yi Meng helped her break the formation in the group stage of Tianling Shang, Yun Xi had already expected that it would be exposed.
It's just that almost a year has passed, and Mr. Wei has not asked himself about this matter. In the end, it was Yun Xi's turn to take the initiative to confess.
The reason for this choice is mainly because the Yu Tanzhang incident made Yun Xi realize a big problem, that is, if you want to tell a lie, you must use more lies to make up for it.
There is a reason why she concealed her dream. The senior brothers from Lingying Hall have been to Yutan Temple, so they know that they have been here. This news will inevitably reach Mr. Wei's ears.
Instead of worrying about whether Mr. Wei can find out the identity behind Yutan Temple, it is better to tell the truth directly. As long as you don't hide any secrets, then naturally you don't need to cover up anything.
So after careful consideration, Yun Xi felt that she had to be more honest. How could she not show her loyalty if she wanted to hug her?
Facts have proved that her choice was right. Yun Xi said: "Mr. Wei, actually... there is the soul of a nightmare beast hidden in my body."
This is a choice that Yun Xi made after careful consideration. Perhaps this is equivalent to betting on Yimeng, because she cannot guarantee how Mr. Wei will deal with the nightmare beast in her body, but whether it is for her or for Yimeng,
, it is better to confess than to conceal.
When Mr. Wei heard her revelation, he didn't show any surprise. Instead, he smiled with satisfaction and asked, "Have you signed a contract?"
"Signed."
Mr. Wei nodded slightly: "That'll be fine."
Yun Xi's beautiful big eyes blinked, and she was a little confused about Mr. Wei's reaction, so... This, this is gone?
Mr. Wei seemed to see the doubts in her heart and said: "What? Do you want me to punish you? Or do you want me to destroy that nightmare beast?"
Yun Xi shook her head quickly: "None of that. I just feel a little surprised."
Mr. Wei smiled, and then the vicissitudes caused by the erosion of time on his face became more obvious.
He said: "The situation in the Hunling World has been turbulent recently, and everything in the world is not stable. The more you have, the more you will have to bear in the future."
This is what Wei Guiyi cares about. A nightmare beast is not worthy of his attention at all. He sees far more far-term than Yun Xi imagined.
Yun Xi understood what Mr. Wei meant, and lowered his head in shame, but quickly raised it again: "Don't worry, Mr. Wei, I will shoulder my responsibility."
She is not a person who likes to express her ambitions, and she even likes to be lazy a lot of the time, but she has never slacked off in her actions.
Mr. Wei smiled, looked at the weather outside, and said, "We'll stop here today. You can go back early."
"Well, I'll go back first, see you Mr. Wei."
Mr. Wei said with a kind smile: "Well, goodbye."
Yun Xi cleaned the cup she had used and left the tea pavilion.
And with her departure, Tea Pavilion fell into its initial loneliness.
Wei Guiyi turned his head, looked at the gradually yellowing sky, and sighed softly.
……
……
"It's raining heavily~The old hometown has deep vegetation~
I heard that you are always alone~
The mottled city gate is surrounded by old tree roots~
What echoed on the stone slab was ~Wait~"
After leaving the tea pavilion, Yun Xi hummed a little tune and walked on the main road of Tianling League, passing by a square and feeling extremely lonely all around.
It's almost lunch time, but there's basically no one outside. This is the convenience for spiritual practitioners, who can work around the clock.
Qualified migrant workers!
Mr. Wei didn't have any objections to Yi Meng in her body, which made Yun Xi very happy.
Moreover, the feeling of relief when the secret was revealed and she no longer had to worry about herself made Yun Xi feel more comfortable. Therefore, even the tunes she hummed contained a hint of joy.

"It's a nice song, but the artistic conception you sang doesn't seem to match the meaning of the words."
A comment suddenly came from behind, almost startling Yun Xi.
She stopped and looked back.
Behind Yun Xi is a man.
This man looks young, wearing a brown ancient suit, which highlights his long and beautiful figure.
He exudes a different kind of temperament, is quite charming, and his appearance is extremely handsome.
"So handsome..."
Yun Xi spoke subconsciously, but she quickly reacted and quickly covered her mouth with her hand, lowering her head apologetically.
She was not attracted to this man, she was simply impressed by his appearance.
There have always been many handsome guys around Yun Xi. Although the outside world has always lamented the good looks of these girls, in fact, Nangong Yaofeng, Weiyan Tianye and the others are also very handsome among boys.
It's not enough. Compared with the man in front of me, it's still a lot worse.
After lowering his head to calm down his mood, Yun Xi raised his head: "Junior Yun Xi, I have met my senior."
Although I don’t know who this person is, the noble temperament exuding from him and his ability to avoid his own perception definitely make him a senior.
A hint of interest appeared on the man's face and asked: "Are you Yun Xi, who has become famous in the past two years?"
Yun Xi hurriedly said: "Senior, you are ridiculous. This is all exaggerated. In fact, I am very weak."
The man couldn't help but smile: "Weak chicken... this is the first time I have heard such a word. You kid is quite interesting."
‘My child…this person is indeed a senior.’
The man saw Yun Xi's eyes wandering and said, "Why, are you guessing who I am in your heart?"
Being exposed on the spot, Yun Xi was not embarrassed and said directly: "It has been nearly a year since I joined the Tianling Alliance. This is the first time I have seen my senior with such a noble temperament and Yushu Lingfeng. I can't help but
I’m curious.”
The man was funny: "As expected of Tianling school beauty, even her words are so sweet."
‘You’re not bad either…’
Yun Xi was embarrassed by the praise.
The man said: "My name is Shi Jin."
Yun Xi immediately saluted: "Hello, Senior Shi."
At the same time, she quickly thought of Shi Jin’s identity through this surname.
Shijia, Tianling County.
Among the twenty-seven Guidu, Shirong Guidu came from the Shi family.
This man looks young and has such an outstanding temperament. He must be a big shot in the Shi family.
Shi Jin smiled and asked, "Have you guessed my identity?"
Yun Xi shook his head: "This junior is too stupid to guess that my senior is from the Shi family."
There was a hint of interest in Shi Jin's eyes. This so-called Tianling school beauty was much more interesting than he imagined.
It is actually a bit surprising that a woman is so interesting, and precisely because she is a woman, people can't help but be tolerant of her.
The same is true for Mr. Wei. If Yun Xi were a man, even if she was extremely talented and kind-hearted, Wei Huating's treatment of her should be more severe than indulgent.
Even in the world of ghosts and the world of spiritual practice, the idea of girls being raised in wealth and boys being raised in poverty still exists.
In fact, Yun Xi also figured out that people would always be more tolerant towards beautiful women, so she appeared sensible and naughty.
Shi Jin asked: "What's the name of the song you just sang?"
"Fireworks get cold easily, senior."
"Fireworks get cold easily?" Shi Jin thought for a moment, "That's a good name. Did you make this song?"
Yun Xi shook his head: "I heard it among the people."
Shi Jin sneered: "I thought that only vulgar music was left among the people, but now it seems that I don't know enough."
Yun Xi did not dare to speak.
‘It’s not that you don’t know enough, it’s just that I was a thief once, and what I stole was not from your world.’
Shi Jin added: "It's getting late today. You should go back first. You can write the lyrics and music of this song tonight. I will come to pick it up from you tomorrow."
After he finished speaking, he left without looking back, leaving Yunxi alone.
"Eh? Ah... junior knows. Goodbye, senior."
Yun Xi froze in place for a few seconds. After Shi Jin's figure gradually disappeared, she touched her head.
After Mr. Wei, who loved tea, she met Shi Jin, who loved folk arts. Do the seniors in the Tianling League have such simple and unpretentious hobbies?
After complaining a little in her heart, Yun Xi also turned around and left.
……
Time goes back to noon, after separation from Yun Xi, Lu Qi took Hong Ling home.
On the way, Lu Qi hesitated for a long time, but still couldn't hold back the doubts in her heart. She squeezed Hong Ling's little hand and asked, "Hong Ling, why did you kick that woman today?"
Hong Ling raised her head and looked at her, and took a moment to think before replying: "My sister said it, she said...someone bullied Sister Aqi and asked me to kick her."
When Lu Qi heard this, she couldn't help but get a little mist in her eyes. She quickly wiped them away before the tears flowed out.
"So, your sister knows that I will be bullied today?"
Hongling thought for a while: "...I don't know."
Lu Qi is not stupid. Yun Xi arrived in such a timely manner, so she was naturally prepared. She asked herself to bring Hongling to check, so she was probably ready to stand up for herself.
This is Yun Xi, who obviously doesn’t say anything, but has everything ready.
Why did she choose today if it wasn't enough? Could it be...
Perhaps because she was relaxed, Lu Qi seemed to be thinking more than before.
They took Hongling all the way back to Jingming Community, opened the door, and walked in.
The house is very quiet.
Even if Yun Xi is not here, as long as Xiao Lingyuan and the others are around, the house will usually not be so quiet.
Lu Qi dispersed her spiritual consciousness and found that no one was at home, and no one knew where they were.
She took out her phone, hesitated for a moment, and then put it back.
Everyone was gone, but she still had something to do. She knelt down and said, "Hongling, are you hungry?"
After breakfast, she took Hongling to Weiyang Hall for a check-up. It was already past two o'clock, and Hongling hadn't had lunch yet.
"Hungry."
Hongling made a short sound, and the blank expression on her little face was very cute.
"Then I'll cook you something, and you go watch TV first."
As soon as she heard about watching TV, Hongling's eyes lit up, she agreed and ran directly to the sofa in the living room.
Yun Xi taught her for several months, and the best thing she learned was to turn on the TV and change programs.
Lu Qi looked at her back, feeling particularly warm in her heart.
After arriving in this new home, Lu Qi spent more time in the kitchen than Yun Xi. She was skilled in cooking and stir-frying. Even after she just came back, she quickly got into the mood.
Soon, the aroma of food wafted out from the kitchen. Hong Ling poked her head and looked towards the kitchen.
Half an hour later, Lu Qi brought out the dishes and helped Hongling serve the rice.
"Hongling, come over for dinner."
"...Hmm."
Hongling watched the TV a few more times without wanting to leave, then hurried over and sat on the stool.
The little girl looks very cute when eating, holding chopsticks in one hand and a spoon in the other, occasionally leaking rice grains.
Lu Qi just watched her eating, and suddenly she understood why Yun Xi liked the little girl so much. She was cute and well-behaved. Looking at Hong Ling, even she couldn't help but dream about whether she could have such a cute daughter in the future.
.
But this idea was wiped out just after it was born.
As long as you can always be by Yun Xi's side, you don't care about anything else.
