At the beginning of the sage cultivation base, the empress became an ex-wife

Chapter 164: Feeling of disobedience, familiarity and tenderness

Xu Ze pondered for a long time.

Only then did he understand why Gu Wanqing would bring him and Shi Yi together, and the Shengwen Sect was full of gossip about the two of them.

original,

The woman in front of me, who looks cold on the outside but is actually hot on the inside, is really interested in me.

This made Xu Ze feel a little sad.

Once upon a time, the two hated each other.

Once upon a time, he called the woman in front of him 'old witch'.

But I don't know when.

The woman in front of her was no longer the aloof, unsmiling, and indifferent elder.

She can laugh and cry.

She can be happy and sad.

Well, I will also confess...

Xu Ze actually didn't think too much about Shi Yi.

The two people in the previous life got along more like friends.In this life, although the two came closer, they both kept a certain distance with a tacit understanding.

Because of Gu Wanqing.

Shi Yi always believed that she was Gu Wanqing's master, and this status did not allow her to think wildly.

Although Xu Ze has no concerns in this regard, he may need to consider other people's opinions of Shi Yi.

Then the problem is coming.

What gave Shi Yi the courage to cross the hurdle in her heart?
What gave Shi Yi, who had always been introverted, the courage to confess to him under this spiritual bamboo and peach tree?

Is it really that sentence, "Some things are difficult to escape, and some feelings become deeper and deeper with more pressure?"

Xu Ze didn't understand these things.

He wanted to think deeply, but the sudden confession made his mind go blank and he couldn't sort out his thoughts properly.

The only thing he knew was.

He didn't hate Shi Yi.

Not only was he not annoying, he even felt a little comfortable when he was with Shi Yi.

Thinking of this, Xu Ze took a deep breath and no longer avoided Shi Yi's eyes.

At this moment, Shi Yi was still looking straight at him, her watery eyes, besides being full of affection, were still so gentle.

Um?gentle?

Xu Ze was stunned.

This kind of tenderness was familiar, so familiar that it reminded him of someone.

Leaning slightly, Xu Ze smiled helplessly.

In fact, he felt a sense of dissonance from the very beginning, and only then did he understand the origin of this sense of dissonance.

Shi Yi's tone and expression were wrong.

The Shi Yi he knew didn't dare to look at him so directly after confessing her love.

The Shi Yi he knew was not the kind of person who ignored everything for his own emotions.

Moreover, in Xu Ze's opinion.

Even if Shi Yi is really interested in him, the relationship between the two has not developed to the point where Shi Yi can confess her love at all costs.

So, Xu Ze understood.

"Bai Shao, you really have a bad taste."

"I already knew you were a little weird, but I didn't expect you to be so weird."

"Your secret method of spiritual consciousness transformation is indeed strange. Even I can't distinguish it, but the fragrance of the herbs on your body cannot be concealed."

He smiled.

heard.

"what?"

'Shi Yi', who looked like a young girl in love just a moment ago, suddenly made a surprised sound.

There was green light rising from her body.

Exposed to the flowing light, her face and body became illusory, and then she transformed, revealing her true appearance.

Sure enough, it’s white peony root!
"This is impossible. My secret method of transformation evolved from the 'Flesh and Bones' imperial method. It should be able to perfectly hide one's own aura." Bai Shao looked extremely surprised.

She looked at Xu Ze with surprise on her face.

At this time, Xu Ze showed an expression of "Sure enough!"

"You lied to me?" Bai Shao understood immediately.

At this moment, other emotions appeared on her cheeks that were originally full of tenderness.

Some are angry from shame, and some are embarrassed to have done bad things and been exposed by others.

"Tell me, why did you do this? I don't believe you would do such a boring thing for no reason." Xu Ze asked seriously with a straight face.

"Uh……"

Bai Shao was speechless, and for a moment she didn't dare to look at Xu Ze.

"It's okay if you don't tell me. From now on, I will spread the news everywhere that Bai Shao, who is both a medical saint and a quasi-emperor, has confessed his love to me." Xu Ze spread his hands.

Isn’t this ruining a person’s reputation?

"How can I?" Bai Shao stared.

"Don't you?" Xu Ze asked with a sly smile.

"..."

Bai Shao was speechless.

It doesn't matter if these words reach other people's ears, but Xu Ze is about to go to Bahuang!If it spreads to the Wonderful Medicine Emperor Valley and reaches the ears of the Medicine Emperor, then she will be really embarrassed!
The point is, there’s really no explanation for this!

After all, although she was using the appearance of Shi Yi just now, the words came from her mouth!
"The reason why I came to ask the Holy Sect is because I was entrusted by someone. That person entrusted me to treat your injury." Bai Shao compromised.

"Who entrusted you? Injury? I'm not injured! Besides, what does this have to do with your confession to me?" Xu Ze raised multiple questions in succession.

"Who confessed to you!" Bai Shao was a little anxious.

"You, you just told me that some feelings are getting deeper and deeper! You also said that you want to watch the flowers bloom and fall with me!"

"I said that for Shi Yi!"

"Let's not talk about whether Shi Yi really has such thoughts, let's just say one thing! Bai Shao, it's you who is standing in front of me at this moment."

"..."

Bai Shao was left speechless again.

She felt like she was at a huge loss.

As a doctor, she knows better than anyone else that only emotion can heal emotional wounds.That's why she wanted to use this method to treat Xu Ze!

Who knows!

The goal was not achieved, but it got me into trouble!
Bai Shao was a little crazy.

She was embarrassed by her behavior and even more angry at Xu Ze's "distortion of facts."

Since she couldn't refute it, she had no choice but to...

He put his hands on his hips and stared at Xu Ze like this!

With such an appearance, she is less gentle and more cute.

"Haha."

Xu Ze laughed loudly.

This made Bai Shao even more dissatisfied, and she couldn't help but frown.

But soon, she spread her brows, covered her face with her sleeves, and laughed as well.

The laughter was soft, but very pleasant.

Just like the spring water that suddenly ripples, breaking the silence, it also makes people's hearts agitate.

"Why are you laughing?" Xu Ze was stunned.

"I laugh, you are the only person who has made me lose my temper in so many years." Bai Shao replied.

"I see, but I think it's better for you to calm down."

"Why?"

"Because there will be many more such things after this."

"..."

Bai Shao gave Xu Ze a look.

This look is both charming and angry, making people feel itchy and unbearable.

"Ahem, let's get back to the topic, what's going on?" Xu Ze asked after coughing slightly.

"...I can't tell you the specific person who asked me to do it because I've told you beforehand. I can only say that the person asked me to heal your emotional injuries."

After a brief silence, Bai Shao chose to tell the truth.

Xu Ze guessed who it was.

After all, there is only one person who knows that he has "emotional injuries" and wants to make amends for it.

Suddenly, Xu Ze fell silent.

"Is she all right?" he asked.

"Good or bad."

"When I met her, she was still a born emperor, and she still had the accompanying emperor source."

"She didn't want to stay in any one place and always appeared in dangerous places. She was injured many times for this reason."

"She once said that this was her path to forgiveness."

"She once said that if she had a choice, she didn't want to own the Emperor Source."

"I thought it was just a joke."

"I never thought that a few years later, she would actually lose her accompanying emperor source and lose her status as a born emperor."

Bai Shao said carefully.

Since Xu Ze had already guessed who it was, there was no need for her to hide it.

After listening, Xu Ze nodded.

"But it seems that my trip was in vain. Your emotional injury does not require my treatment." Bai Shao changed the subject.

"It's really not necessary. I don't have any so-called emotional injuries." Xu Ze agreed.

"Xu Ze, you are wrong." Bai Shao shook his head, "You are emotionally wounded, but there is someone more qualified to heal you than me."

"Who?" Xu Ze was confused.

In response, Bai Shao did not reply, but raised his head slightly and looked towards the second floor of the main pavilion of Hiyue Peak.

Xu Ze looked at it similarly.

I saw a woman in the bright window on the second floor, looking at the two of them with a shrinking head.

After noticing Xu Ze's gaze, the woman looked panicked and hurriedly hid in the window.

"Xu Ze." Bai Shao called. "Huh?" Xu Ze responded while keeping his gaze from a distance.

"Although the 'confession' just came from my mouth, many things are true."

"For example, this spiritual bamboo and peach tree was indeed planted by Shi Yi."

"For example, in the years since you left, Shi Yi did nothing but retreat and watch flowers."

"Another example..."

Speaking of this, Bai Shao paused and smiled: "Just now, what did you think when faced with 'Shi Yi's' confession?"

……

……

Bai Shao left.

It was not that he left Moon-covering Peak, but that he left the Taoist Holy Sect and returned to Bahuang.

Since she has lost her reason to stay, there is no need for her to be here.

"Xu Ze, Huang Jian."

Before leaving, Bai Shao said this.

In this regard, Xu Ze did not persuade him to stay, and there was no need to persuade him to stay.

As Bai Shao said, the two of them will meet again one day, and the place where they meet again must be in Bahuang!
After Bai Shao left, Xu Ze still looked at the window sill on the second floor of the attic.

Under the bright moonlight, the graceful figure and timid figure in the window are vaguely visible.

In addition, there is also a faint cold fog spreading from it.

This is the real Shi Yi, the Shi Yi Xu Ze knows well.

Whenever she couldn't help herself, Shi Yi would always use her own skills, hoping to use the coolness of the ice to soothe her inner throbbing.

Whenever she encountered a shy situation, Shi Yi would lose the courage to look at him, and would even dig a hole in the ground if possible.

"Come down, I see you." Xu Ze shouted.

Hearing this, the delicate body inside the window visibly trembled.

"If you don't go down, then I will go up?" Xu Ze asked again.

"No, I'll be down right away!" Shi Yi finally responded.

But this 'immediately' is a few moments later.

Shi Yi walked out of the main pavilion of the peak, with blue light flowing in his eyes and ice and mist filling his feet.

Step by step, she came to Xu Ze.

It was obviously a very short distance, but it was so strenuous for her to walk that her breathing was a little short.

"That person just now was not me."

"I wanted to stop it, but Bai Shao set up a ban in the Peak Master Pavilion. Not only can I not get out, I can't even make a sound."

"This white peony root is so bad, it has such evil taste!"

"me……"

Shi Yi kept explaining.

When she first started speaking, her tone was relatively coherent, but by the end, she was hesitant.

But what answered her was Xu Ze's words:

"Are you enjoying the flowers?"

Shi Yizheng lives.

The scene just now reappeared in her mind. By some mistake, she imitated Xu Ze's tone and asked:

"Missing someone?"

The only person the two of them could think about together was Gu Wanqing.

The moment she finished speaking, Shi Yi regretted it.

Because after watching Xu Ze's memories many times, she has understood a reality.

It is extremely difficult to get Xu Ze to forgive Gu Wanqing.

Under such circumstances, if she mentioned Gu Wanqing repeatedly, not only would she not be able to achieve her goal, but it would even make Xu Ze disgusted.

"Just look at the flowers and don't think about the people."

"I understand."

"People are old people, what's the use of thinking about them?"

Shi Yi quickly added.

"Old friends are also old friends. It's okay to miss them occasionally." Xu Ze said.

This statement made Shi Yi stunned again!
What's the meaning?Did Xu Ze forgive Gu Wanqing?

When such thoughts appeared, she couldn't help but become happy.But this happiness did not last long, and was replaced by a subtle loss.

Obviously, as Xu Ze expected.

Decades of longing and annoyance allowed Shi Yi to see through her true intentions, but she still had many worries and lacked the courage to take another step forward.

Under Shi Yi's gaze, Xu Ze stepped forward and sat on the ground under the Lingzhu and Peach trees.

After thinking about it, Shi Yi chose to follow, the same thing.

The two of them sat side by side, both looking at the flowers without saying a word.

"This Lingzhu Peach Tree has been promoted to a 'Dharma Tree'. The person who planted the tree was careful." Xu Ze suddenly said.

"Just water it in your free time." Shi Yi responded softly.

Xu Ze did not reveal it, but nodded and said, "I met Wanqing when I was in Jiudaozhou."

Shi Yi's beautiful eyes suddenly opened wide with excitement on her face.

"How is Wanqing? Is she okay?"

"Nowadays, there are rumors in the outside world that the reason why the Holy Mountain is covered with clouds is because the born emperor lost his appearance. I always feel that this has something to do with Wanqing."

"Where is she now? Does she have any plans to return to the Holy Sect?"

"Does she have anything to say to me as a master?"

She asked naggingly.

Xu Ze answered these questions one by one.

But he did not say that Gu Wanqing wanted to become someone else's teacher and wanted to bring him and Shi Yi together.

Because he knew it didn't make any sense.

Because he knows.

In terms of Shi Yi's concern for Gu Wanqing, even if Gu Wanqing changes families, Shi Yi will still regard her as her beloved disciple.

Furthermore.

Some words should not come from his mouth.

Some things should be done gradually and step by step. It is not a good thing to break the window paper too early.

"Really? In order to send you to the Eternal Imperial Palace, Wanqing actually destroyed his imperial origin?"

"Is this her choice?"

"She has really changed. She is no longer the Gu Wanqing who was blinded by obsession and completely disregarded others."

"Although she lost her 'empress' appearance, she found her true heart and understood what she really wanted."

"Perhaps this can be considered a kind of 'rebirth'?"

After listening to Xu Ze's words, Shi Yi sighed one after another.

Over the years, apart from her inner thoughts, she was also worried about Gu Wanqing.

Now that Xu Ze is back, although Gu Wanqing has lost his imperial origin, it is like a new life and a complete change.

These things made Shi Yi feel relieved.

Although monks basically do not need to sleep, they occasionally need to regain their energy by falling asleep and falling into meditation.

Decades of mental stress had already made Shi Yi physically and mentally exhausted. Only at this moment could she really breathe a sigh of relief.

Suddenly, a strong feeling of fatigue came over her, causing her to yawn.

"Bai Shao once said that after the Holy Mountain is completely opened, the current generation of the Emperor Sect will all go to the Eight Wastelands to pursue the road to become emperor."

"This is a good thing and keeps the people you and I care about out of danger."

"But I also plan to go to Bahuang."

"Although I don't have much interest in proving the emperor, if those emperors' sons become emperors, then the Eight Desolate Emperor Sect will probably break away from the shackles and come to Kyushu completely."

"This is extremely dangerous! We must prepare for a rainy day!"

"..."

Xu Ze began to talk about the next arrangements.

Worried that Shi Yi wouldn't understand, he even repeated the secret he heard from Bai Shao.

And just when he wanted to ask Shi Yi if she wanted to go with him.

There was a warm touch on my shoulder.

Xu Ze turned around and saw that Shi Yi was asleep. The latter was sleeping thoroughly and was breathing steadily.

"Go to sleep. Over the years, you have to support the Shengwen Sect and protect the Xu family in Yun'an City. It's really hard on you." Xu Ze smiled.

"But you're sleeping too defenselessly, aren't you? Aren't you afraid of what I will do?"

"How about trying to hold it up?"

He got into some bad fun again.

……

……

Shi Yi slept for several days.

When she woke up again, she found herself lying on the couch in the attic.

"Xu Ze?"

After getting up, Shi Yi rubbed her fluffy sleepy eyes, looked left and right, and shouted softly.

Her answer was silence.

Xu Ze is not here.

Wherever Shi Yi looked, she only saw light blue curtains fluttering in the wind, and...

Those pictures are already hanging all over the walls of the bedroom.

The moment the portrait catches your eye.

"Oops!"

Shi Yi suddenly woke up!
Because among the many lifelike portraits, there was actually the figure of a man.

The man is stepping among the clouds with a sword, the corners of his mouth are slightly raised, and his white clothes are floating on his body.

At first glance, it looks like an immortal in the world, with an otherworldly feeling.

And the man's extremely clear facial features and face, no matter how you look at it...

They are all Xu Ze.
