Chapter 1134: Quality Time Only for the Two of Them
Even Gongxi Kuangdao and Lei Wanshan could vaguely sense the subtle feelings between the two of them. They held their breaths and quietly retreated into the distance.
Suddenly, the sound of a zither rang out, as if large and small pearls fell onto a jade plate unpassionately for a long time before Young Master Zhang’s sorrowful singing followed. “Although the flowing water is merciless, the falling flowers are intentional. This love can only become a reminiscent memory. The night is long. I have no intention to sleep, no intention to sleep…”
Gongxi Kuangdao’s blade and mouth fell, but he quickly picked up the former and closed the latter.
“Argh! This unromantic guy always appears at the ‘right’ moment to ruin the moment.” Ling Chuxi really wanted to drag Zhang Yuhong out for a good beating.
Huangfu Qingjue’s face also darkened. It seemed that the lesson he taught that idiot last time was not enough.
Fortunately, a whip interrupted Zhang Yuhong’s singing, followed by a scream before the world fell silent again.
The night wind blew gently as the atmosphere remained peaceful.
Gongxi Kuangdao, Lei Wanshan, and the others had already retreated into the distance while Zhang Yuhong had also quietened down. Huangfu Qingjue and Ling Chuxi sat down quietly and looked at each other, unable to help themselves from smiling at each other
The drifting mist, the flickering flame, the refreshing night wind – everything felt warm and fuzzy. It was as if only the two of them were left in this world. Ling Chuxi enjoyed this rare quiet time, the time that only belonged to the two of them.
“My Lady, they’re here, they’re here.” Gongxi Kuangdao suddenly ran over excitedly as he informed with a hushed voice.
Once again, their precious quality was interrupted. Huangfu Qingjue’s cold eyes swept over to Gongxi Kuangdao and the latter’s body trembled as his heart went cold. ‘This is bad. I got a little too excited and became the bad person that was too meddlesome. Although this Huangfu Qingjue doesn’t usually speak, he is a black-bellied person. I hope he won’t find trouble with me after this.’ Gongxi Kuangdao thought with fear in his heart.
“Ah, I slept so well I must be sleepwalking.” Gongxi Kuangdao suddenly rolled his eyes and put on a hazy look. He hugged his precious saber and murmured as he nimbly twisted his waist, as if he was turning over in a deep sleep.
A few of his subordinates had followed him excitedly. When they saw this scene, they immediately cooperated and dragged Gongxi Kuangdao backward by his arm. “Oh, sir, why are you sleepwalking again?”
Although Ling Chuxi was angry that this guy didn’t know what was good for him, she still couldn’t help but laugh.
“Okay, stop pretending. Go get ready. It’s time for me to get in the action,” said Huangfu Qingjue to Gongxi Kuangdao calmly when he saw Ling Chuxi’s smile.
“Yes, my Lord.” Gongxi Kuangdao replied awkwardly. He was too embarrassed to continue pretending, though he did feel a little relieved. It seemed that Huangfu Qingjue wasn’t too mad at him. That’s good, that’s good.
Soon, everyone woke up and quietly gathered together.
A gentle breeze blew past, but the light mist didn’t disperse. Instead, it became thicker and thicker. Amidst the mist, there was the fragrance of soil and plants, making people’s minds waver. They felt very uncomfortable and yet intoxicated by it at the same time.
“There’s poison in the mist!” Zhou Kaitai suddenly shouted in a deep voice. Although they had left the sect for many years, they had not completely abandoned their medical skills. The Zhang family’s Heavenly Fragrance Manor was filled with medicinal herbs from the sect, so they were very familiar with the scent of such herbs. With just a whiff of it, they soon realized that there was something strange about the scent in the air.
This opponent dared to show off in front of the teacher. Ling Chuxi and the others were prepared to beat up the person who poisoned them.
