Chapter 457: Enjoying the Scenery
"Who made my wife so smart?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Chuan slapped him lightly again, making a slight sound.
"Husband~"
Bai Zhi raised her head slightly, her beautiful eyes were covered with mist, filled with grievance and anger, and her appearance was pitiful.
"Let's see if my wife dares to deliberately cheat me next time."
As Lin Chuan spoke, he exerted a little force with his arms and held Bai Zhi tighter in his arms.
"I won't dare anymore, I promise."
Bai Zhi buried her face in Lin Chuan's shoulder, her voice soft.
"Be good, don't tell Senior Sister and Xiaoxiao about this for now."
Lin Chuan gently stroked Bai Zhi's back with his palm and whispered instructions.
"Then my husband, can you please let me meet Master Li Feng?"
Bai Zhi raised her head, the blush on her face still not completely faded.
"..."
Lin Chuan was slightly startled. Just as he was about to respond, a faint fragrance of elixir suddenly lingered beside him.
"What does Saint Bai want me to do?"
Li Yue looked at Bai Zhi lying in Lin Chuan's arms, her brows slightly furrowed.
"Nothing, I just feel that Master Li Feng is too tired hiding in the dark all day, so I want to invite Master Li Feng to sit down and chat."
Bai Zhi slowly stood up from Lin Chuan's arms and met Li Yue's gaze calmly.
"If you really think I'm having a hard time, why don't you just go back to Baiyun Holy Land?"
Li Yue's tone was indifferent, her words full of alienation.
"Ahem, it's so hard to meet each other, why don't you sit down and have a good chat?"
Lin Chuan coughed lightly, quickly stood up, and stood between the two women with a smile on his face.
"I listen to my husband."
Bai Zhi smiled faintly, found a stone bench and slowly sat down.
Li Yue rolled her eyes at Lin Chuan, her eyes full of reproach, then reluctantly sat down opposite Bai Zhi and turned her head away.
"I promise I won't start a fight with Master Li Feng. Can you go and look around on your own first, my husband?"
Bai Zhi looked at Lin Chuan who was about to sit down beside her, and her tone was gentle but revealed that she could not refuse.
"..."
Lin Chuan looked at Li Yue beside him, a hint of hesitation flashed in his eyes.
"Do not worry."
Li Yue spoke softly, the corners of her lips slightly raised.
"Okay, you guys chat."
Lin Chuan nodded, then stepped back. Soon, a spiritual barrier with a light purple and light pink color intertwined rose up, wrapping Bai Zhi and Li Yue.
"..."
Lin Chuan sighed slightly and began to walk forward aimlessly.
The gravel road under his feet was winding and the green bamboos on both sides swayed gently in the breeze, but he had no intention of appreciating the beautiful scenery around him.
I don't know how long it took, but a gentle voice sounded softly beside my ear: "Sir, is there something on your mind?"
Lin Chuan came back to his senses instantly and looked at Qiu who was frowning slightly in front of him.
"Sorry, I got distracted."
He spoke quickly, his tone apologetic.
"..."
Qiu shook his head gently and said nothing.
"The scenery here is so beautiful. Miss Qiu is here to enjoy the scenery too?"
Lin Chuan scratched his head, his eyes wandering somewhat unnaturally, trying to break the subtle silence in the air with this slightly awkward topic.
"..."
Qiu lowered her eyes for a moment and replied softly, "This place is called Qiu Wu Garden, and I live nearby."
"..."
Lin Chuan was slightly startled, muttering to himself, "Don't I remember we were still at Chunshui Pavilion at that time..."
But the next second, he reacted and looked at Qiu with inquiry, "Does Chun live near Chunshui Pavilion?"
"The four servants live next to each other in Siqin Tower. Chunshui Pavilion, Xiazhuwu, Qiuwu Garden, and Dongbai Garden are our respective territories."
Qiu explained in a calm and methodical tone.
"..."
Lin Chuan remained silent. Thinking of the scenes at Chunshui Pavilion, he couldn't help but feel a little uneasy and his expression became a little unnatural.
"Sir, have you been to Chunshui Pavilion?"
Qiu looked straight at Lin Chuan, with a questioning look in his eyes.
"The scenery there is nice, so I just enjoyed it in the pavilion."
Lin Chuan scratched his head and unconsciously avoided Qiu's gaze.
"Chun and Xia are out on a mission. I hope you will forgive me if I haven't taken good care of them." Qiu bowed slightly, speaking in a gentle tone.
"No wonder I didn't see anyone else in the pavilion. It turns out they were out."
Hearing this, Lin Chuan secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and a look of relief unconsciously appeared on his face.
"Although my Qiuwu Garden doesn't look as vibrant as Chunshui Pavilion, the ten miles of red maples in front are also a unique sight. Would you like to go and see it, young master?"
Qiu asked softly with a gentle smile in her eyes.
"If Miss Qiu doesn't mind the trouble, then I'll bother you."
Lin Chuan nodded slightly, with a hint of anticipation in his eyes.
"Sir, follow me."
Qiu raised the corner of her lips slightly, took the first step, and motioned Lin Chuan to follow.
……
In the room, Qingshu tried hard to suppress the corners of her mouth that were constantly rising.
"Laugh if you want to."
Jiang Wanying frowned slightly, with a hint of helplessness in her tone.
"I still can't believe that you, a quasi-Immortal Emperor, could be attacked by someone you trust and forced to reincarnate into the lower realm.
"But listening to what you said, it seems quite reasonable. Considering your flamboyant personality back then, perhaps your female general has a deep blood feud with you and has been holding it in until now."
Qingshu raised the corners of her mouth slightly, with a mischievous smile in her eyes.
"..."
Jiang Wanying's face turned slightly cold. "It's better than you, dragging Ah Chuan down for his whole life."
"..."
Qing Shu paused for a moment, then raised her eyebrows, "You're quite impressive. I don't know what tricks you used to make Qin Lang's reincarnation willingly sacrifice his life for you."
……
The two looked at each other, and no one spoke. Only the candle flame was gently jumping and making a slight crackling sound.
After a while.
"What great path did Qin Lang cultivate in his previous life?"
Qingshu narrowed her eyes slightly and stared at Jiang Wanying closely.
"I don't know, Ah Chuan... It seems like he builds all kinds of avenues, but it also seems like he never builds any avenues..."
Jiang Wanying frowned slightly, and there was a hint of confusion in her eyes, as if she was reminiscing, or as if she was puzzled by Lin Chuan's unique way of practicing, and her tone unconsciously carried a bit of doubt.
"Ah."
Qing Shu nodded slightly, a trace of thought flashing in her eyes. After a moment, her gaze fell on Jiang Wanying again, "Is there anything else you want to ask?"
"..."
Jiang Wanying shook her head, her expression calm.
"Okay then. I'll go back and accompany Qin Lang."
Qingshu nodded, stood up quickly, and walked towards the door.
"..."
Jiang Wanying suddenly spoke, her voice a little anxious, "Wait... wait..."
"Anything else?"
Qingshu turned her head, with a hint of doubt in her eyes.
"You...don't want to say anything else?"
Jiang Wanying stared at Qingshu with an inquiring look, her eyes full of complicated emotions.
"What? Live in peace and stay by Qin Lang's side from now on?"
Qingshu raised the corner of her lips and looked at the woman in the red dress in front of her with interest.
"..."
Jiang Wanying pursed her lips tightly, and in the candlelight, the emotions surging in her eyes were hidden.
"You'll agree if I talk about this? You said you hated me in the beginning, so why would I talk to you about this?"
Qing Shu raised her eyebrows, her tone tinged with sarcasm. "Anyway, as for Qin Lang, I agree that we can all coexist peacefully. Whether you agree or not is your own business. It's you who made Qin Lang embarrassed. It has nothing to do with me. I just need to stay by Qin Lang's side."
After she finished speaking, she didn't linger any longer and disappeared at the door of the room in an instant.
"..."
"Achuan..."
……
In Qiutong Garden, red maple leaves are falling.
"If you are tired, you can come to my place to rest and have a cup of tea."
Qiu looked at Lin Chuan, who was gradually lost in thought as he stared at the maple leaves, and said softly.
"Huh? No... nothing, just thinking about some trivial things."
Lin Chuan came back to his senses and shook his head slightly.
"My residence is not far away. Please follow me, sir."
After Qiu said this softly, he walked straight ahead. His figure looked gentle and quiet against the backdrop of the red maples.
"..."
Lin Chuan pondered for a moment, then took a few steps and followed Qiu silently.
Soon, a courtyard surrounded by red maples, exuding a quiet and elegant atmosphere, appeared before the two.
