Chapter 242 Greed
Since she sat down, Fu Ru's eyes have been glancing back and forth between Song Nan and Nangong Xun.
After seeing that the two stunning male cultivators in the stands were actually acquainted with Fu Qingcheng, he couldn't help but feel jealous.
But this jealousy was immediately replaced by a sense of complacency.
I heard that there are many handsome men and beautiful women in the cultivation world, and there are also countless elixirs that can keep one young and healthy.
When she becomes a formal disciple of Xuwu Mountain, with such advantageous spiritual roots, won't male cultivators like her rush to bow down at her feet in the future?
Thinking of this, her tone became much more confident when she spoke.
"These people are..." Her eyes fell on Nangong Xun and Song Nan, obviously wanting to signal Fu Qingcheng to introduce them.
But Fu Qingcheng's expression remained indifferent, and he had no intention of paying any attention to her at all.
This made Fu Ru, Fu Shou and others feel a little embarrassed.
Especially Fu Ru, because she was the one asking the questions.
At the same time, she felt a little contemptuous in her heart, thinking that a concubine's daughter is indeed a concubine's daughter. After so many years, she still doesn't know etiquette!
"Qingcheng, is this your friend?"
Nangong Xun's voice broke the awkward silence.
God knows if he doesn't speak up, when will the three taciturn people at the table say anything.
Suddenly I really want Tang Ling to come back...
Could it be that he noticed her when he was testing his spiritual roots just now?
Fu Ru was delighted.
That's true. After all, she is gifted and has an extraordinary appearance, so it's hard not to attract attention.
She tried her best to put on a gentle smile on her face. Just as she was about to speak, she heard Fu Qingcheng's voice lightly.
"do not know."
Fu Ru felt a mouthful of blood rush to her throat and she almost choked.
Before she could recover, she heard Nangong Xun say, "In that case, please move aside, the seat you are sitting in is already taken."
You sit here, Xiao Hei...where will Tang Ling sit?
Fu Ru's face turned red and white, and the veins on her forehead were throbbing.
Fu Shou felt really ashamed, so he quickly pulled Fu Ru away.
Nangong Xun noticed the displeasure in Fu Qingcheng's expression. He was born in the Nangong family and was on good terms with the young masters and young ladies of wealthy families. He knew a thing or two about the conflicts in such wealthy families and understood Fu Qingcheng's behavior very well.
As he was observing, he saw Tang Ling sneaking towards him from the canteen kitchen, holding a large round pastry that he had never seen before.
As she tiptoed over, she gestured to everyone not to let Fu Qingcheng, who had his back to her, notice her.
So after a moment, Nangong Xun watched the displeasure on Fu Qingcheng's face disappear when he heard the sudden voice behind him.
"Ding, ding, ding!" Tang Ling walked to the table and brought a round piece of food with beautiful decorations to the center of the table.
"This is called a birthday cake. It's for people who have birthdays!"
She secretly contacted the chef of the cafeteria last night, gave him the recipe and asked him to make this cake. She took some time to take a look this morning and found that the finished product was good.
Cream and cake base are indeed difficult to make for ordinary mortals, but in the world of cultivation, it is much easier as long as you understand the principles.
Fortunately, Tang Ling liked making desserts in her previous life and remembered the cake recipe clearly. She used to cook for him in Lingxian Sect.
I didn’t expect the chef from Xuwu Mountain to be so awesome and actually made it!
"Birthday? Whose birthday is it?" Nangong Xun asked, but his eyes were looking at Fu Qingcheng.
A feeling of envy welled up in my heart.
This girl is lucky enough to have Xiao Hei celebrate her birthday. "Of course it's Qingcheng! We also celebrated it in Xuwu Mountain before!" Tang Ling sat down and was about to cut the cake when she suddenly remembered something.
"Wait a moment!"
She made a hand gesture and pointed directly above the cake. Suddenly, a small flame spun out from above the cake and floated in the air.
"You still have to make a wish!" Tang Ling said excitedly to Fu Qingcheng, "Make a wish to the birthday cake, then blow out the candles, and it will definitely come true!"
Fu Qingcheng stared blankly at the cake on the table, the warm yellow candlelight flickering in his eyes, and his originally cold face became a little warmer under the reflection of the candlelight.
She closed her eyes, and just as Tang Ling had taught her, she clasped her hands together in front of her chest, rested her chin on them, and began to make a wish.
After Ji Hexi died, no one remembered her birthday.
Once, she was brought into the palace by Fu Ru, who said that the princes and princesses in the palace wanted to celebrate her birthday.
But that day, she was locked up in the cold palace where the ghost of Princess Cold was rumored to live, and she spent the night shivering.
He was also frightened out of his wits by a portrait of an ugly princess. He then had a high fever for several days and almost died.
In the years that followed, I almost forgot my own birthday.
Actually, it’s not that easy.
After all, that day was the day Ji Hexi suffered, and it was also the day she came to this dark world.
But later in Xuwu Mountain, Tang Ling would arrange birthday celebrations for Song Nanyuan, Yulang and her, and every year she would make a big fuss about it, saying that the birthday is the most important day of a person's year and must be celebrated well.
She wasn't comfortable at first, but gradually got used to it.
I am used to the hustle and bustle of life, seeing a bunch of people gathered together. Even though I know that the path of spiritual practice is long and that everyone will be lonely in the end, I can't help but be greedy for this short-lived warmth.
After Fu Qingcheng made his wish, he opened his eyes and a hint of weakness flashed in his eyes.
She gently blew out the candle and hoped in her heart.
I hope what she wishes for today can come true.
"It's time to share the cake!" Tang Ling cut a piece for each person and placed it in front of them.
It was the first time that Nangong Xun and Wei Zhiming saw this kind of thing, and their eyes couldn't help but light up.
Song Nan had received it remotely, and Tang Ling's homemade Happy Birthday song was sent to him via a note, mixed with the awkward voices of Yuan Yulang and Fu Qingcheng.
After making a wish, how can you miss a gift?
Tang Ling gave Fu Qingcheng the hairpin she bought at the ghost market a year ago, which made Nangong Xun jealous again.
"I heard that the afternoon test will open the forbidden area of Xianshan Islands." Nangong Xun said while eating cake.
But the cake tastes really good. When Xiao Hei was with him before, he never made it for him.
However, Nangong Xun also knew that Xiao Hei was not Tang Ling, but was just temporarily borrowing Tang Ling's body, just like what he did to him and Nangong Ling back then.
"That's right. It is rumored that the forbidden area of the archipelago is rich in spiritual energy and contains many natural treasures. However, in order to trap the cholera mirage demon, the upper realm used an ancient formation to restrain it, and no one can break in." Fu Qingcheng added.
"It's just that this formation will open once every period of time, and the opening time is different each time. Only the people of Xuwu Mountain know the exact opening and closing time, so outsiders dare not intrude at will."
Tang Ling thought of Jun Fang. Perhaps before, the Jun family had accidentally touched the formation and suffered this disaster.
"This is also the purpose of so many outsiders coming to participate in this disciple-recruiting conference." Fu Qingcheng said.
Nangong Xun nodded.
"I think Xuwu Mountain must be using this as an excuse to attract more people to come and show off the prestige of the sect."
