Chapter 416 Losing temper
Chapter 416 Losing temper
"Isn't it because I miss Master too much? And the Ningying Pill is so difficult to obtain..."
Ling Yuexi's eyebrows were curved, and her fingertips unconsciously entangled with the hem of her skirt.
"You have one month to refine the Infant Condensation Pill. Otherwise..."
Li Yue narrowed her beautiful eyes slightly, and a meaningful arc appeared at the corner of her lips.
"Master..."
Ling Yuexi's voice was soft, and she gently shook her arm around Li Yue.
"Plead for mercy for another half month."
Li Yue turned her wrist slightly and pulled her arm back without leaving a trace.
"That's still about a month."
Ling Yuexi blinked and spoke in a crisp and clear tone.
"You."
Li Yue tapped Ling Yuexi's forehead with her fingertips, her eyes filled with helplessness, "If you don't refine the pill well, I will really take your Junior Brother Lin away and make you work like a slave."
"Sure enough, Master has wanted to do this for a long time..."
Ling Yuexi hung her head, looking extremely aggrieved. "It's okay. For Master's happiness, I will be your slave..."
Before he could finish his words, he felt a sudden sharp pain in his head.
"Ouch!"
Ling Yuexi covered her head and looked at Li Yue who was slowly putting away the jade flute with a look of grievance.
"If you keep talking nonsense, don't go back to your alchemy room and make pills next to me."
Li Yue raised her eyebrows slightly, and a hint of warning flashed in her beautiful eyes.
"Disciple realizes his mistake."
Ling Yuexi shuddered, quickly putting away her aggrieved expression. A determined look appeared on her face. "Disciple will refine the pill right away. I will definitely give it my all and strive to refine the Infant Condensation Pill within a month."
"Well, if you don't understand something, just ask me."
Li Yue nodded slightly, and then she walked towards her residence with light lotus steps.
After Li Yue walked away, Ling Yuexi instantly smiled, her face filled with uncontrollable joy.
"Phew, I can have another month of free time! I'm so clever!"
Her eyebrows curved, her eyes full of cunning. In fact, she had successfully refined the Ningying Pill some time ago, and she kept it secret to prevent Liyue from giving him new tasks.
"There are no good novels left. Let's go to the library..."
……
In a room of an inn, the window frame was half-closed.
"He should have gone back."
Jiang Wanying was dressed in plain clothes, sitting quietly at the table, her slender hand on her chin, her beautiful eyes gazing at the sunset outside the window, thinking to herself.
Just then, a butterfly quietly landed on the windowsill.
"You'd better not tell Xu Hanyi about your husband's affairs."
A cold and unquestionable female voice suddenly rang out in the quiet room without any warning.
"Why, are you afraid that my master will keep a closer eye on Ah Chuan and you won't be able to see him?"
Jiang Wanying raised her eyebrows slightly and turned to look at the purple-haired woman who appeared out of nowhere in the room.
"Given Xu Hanyi's personality, she will definitely hurt my husband after knowing this."
Bai Zhi shook her head slightly, a hint of worry flashing in her lavender eyes.
"That's the punishment Achuan deserves."
Jiang Wanying bit her lower lip lightly, a complex emotion flashing in her eyes.
Having said that, she has been following Xu Hanyi around to find out the whereabouts of Qing Lianshui, and has never mentioned going back. This is completely different from the previous her who always wanted to persuade Xu Hanyi to go back.
"..."
Bai Zhi was silent, her lavender eyes staring at Jiang Wanying quietly.
"You didn't come to me just to talk about this, did you?"
Jiang Wanying felt a little uncomfortable being looked at by her. She turned her head away slightly, with a hint of impatience in her tone.
"What do you think about your husband now?"
Bai Zhi looked at Jiang Wanying intently with a serious expression.
"Didn't I tell you before? I will only allow Master and you, no one else."
Jiang Wanying frowned slightly, and her tone revealed an unquestionable tone.
"But do you think my husband will give up on others? If my husband really gives up on others today, will he give up on you and me tomorrow?"
Bai Zhi's voice was soft but every word was clear.
"Achuan won't."
Jiang Wanying blurted out without hesitation, her tone firm.
"Since my husband won't give up on you and me, he naturally won't give up on others either."
Bai Zhi looked at Jiang Wanying calmly, as if she wanted Jiang Wanying to see the unchangeable fact.
"Then I will stay by Achuan's side forever and force him to give up!"
Jiang Wanying bit her lower lip tightly, her eyes full of stubbornness and persistence.
"Do you really think you can hold on? In this case, my husband could have stayed in Siqin Tower. Even if Xu Hanyi came, he couldn't have taken him back. But he still chose to return to Tianjian Peak, which you have set up a ban on."
"And if my guess is correct, when Xu Hanyi set up the restriction, my husband just discussed it with you with a sad face, and never lost his temper from beginning to end, right?"
"Who would want to be imprisoned in one place forever? It's not that my husband doesn't have a temper, it's just that he doesn't want to see you and Xu Hanyi sad and do something extreme."
Bai Zhi shook her head gently, her tone unhurried, but every word was heart-piercing.
"..."
Jiang Wanying was speechless when she heard Bai Zhi's words. For no reason, she suddenly remembered that she had taken out the iron chain to scare Lin Chuan.
When the iron chain locked Lin Chuan, he just tried to break free but failed, then he kept persuading me to let him go, and he never got angry with me because of this.
The only time he lost his temper was because after locking Lin Chuan up, he fed him the fruit that replenished his lifespan.
Thinking of this, Jiang Wanying felt mixed emotions, as if something was blocking her throat and she couldn't speak.
"That's all I have to say. You can figure out the rest by yourself."
As soon as he finished speaking, the butterfly on the windowsill flapped its wings and flew away into the distance.
Jiang Wanying was the only one left in the room, staring blankly at the direction where the butterfly flew away, her eyes full of confusion and thought.
After a long moment, she sighed heavily, slowly walked out of the room, and knocked on the door next door.
"Master, if there's no more clues about Qinglianshui tomorrow, we'll go back."
……
The silver moon is bright and the stars are twinkling.
Tianyao Peak.
"Master, are you going out again?"
Ling Yuexi walked lightly and just came back from the library when she ran into Li Yue who was about to go out.
"Ah."
Li Yue nodded, the moonlight shining on her delicate face, outlining soft lines.
"Going to Tianjian Peak?"
Ling Yuexi looked at Li Yue, who was obviously dressed up carefully, blinked, and raised the corners of her lips slightly.
"..."
A barely perceptible blush suddenly appeared on Liyue's face.
She turned her head slightly and pretended to be calm, saying, "I will go teach your Junior Brother Lin how to make pills and will be back tomorrow morning."
"But Junior Brother Lin doesn't seem to be Master's disciple, right? Is Master really so attentive?"
Ling Yuexi tilted her head slightly, folded her hands across her chest, and her tone was full of teasing.
"Master promised Xu Hanyi that I would visit your Junior Brother Lin often and teach him how to make pills. I must not break my promise."
