My cultivation is too warm

Chapter 145 Chapter : I will do it even if you don’t let me

When Xu Mo heard Liang Huanhuan's words, his face froze, and then he looked at Ye Qingyue.

Ye Qingyue shuddered involuntarily when she met his gaze, and then said with a somewhat evasive look, "No, that's not true. Junior brother, don't listen to Huanhuan's nonsense."

Xu Mo originally thought that Liang Huanhuan was joking. After all, he didn't remember having any contact with Ye Qingyue under the pseudonym "Xu Qing".

But now seeing Ye Qingyue's reaction, he was stunned.

I felt a little melancholy inside, thinking to myself, I also hope she is talking nonsense, but your reaction clearly tells me that this is true.

Liang Huanhuan, who was standing by, heard Ye Qingyue's words and retorted unconvincedly:

"Huanhuan is not talking nonsense. Junior brother, let me tell you, Senior Sister used to hide aside and stare at Senior Brother Xu Qing in a daze, and she would smile foolishly from time to time.

I saw it all, but Senior Sister still refuses to admit it... Oh, Senior Sister, what are you doing?"

Liang Huanhuan was talking excitedly when she suddenly felt a pain in her waist. She saw Ye Qingyue's gentle face. "Huanhuan, Senior Sister, didn't you say you were hungry? Why are you still here? Go eat quickly, otherwise Senior Sister will be worried."

The smile on Ye Qingyue's face was particularly gentle, and the tone of her voice was also particularly gentle, but in Liang Huanhuan's eyes, it was as terrifying as a flood or a beast.

Having been with Ye Qingyue day and night for so many years, she naturally knew that the softer her senior sister's smile was, the more serious the consequences would be.

So she quickly raised her hand to admit her mistake, "Senior Sister Huanhuan was wrong. Huanhuan was just talking nonsense. Don't be angry."

Ye Qingyue reached out and touched her head. "What nonsense are you talking about, Huanhuan? How could Senior Sister be angry with you?"

After letting Liang Huanhuan calm down, she turned her head and looked at Xu Mo, smiled gracefully and said:

"I did visit Junior Brother Xu Qing a few times before, but it wasn't what Huanhuan said."

Xu Mo was slightly startled when he heard this. There really was a story? But why didn't he have any impression of it?

Others may not know, but he himself knows that the so-called "great-grandfather Xu Qing" is himself. However, no matter how he recalls, he cannot find any scene of his contact with Ye Qingyue in his mind.

Could it be that his vest was stolen?

After thinking about it, this was the only possibility he could think of.

Just as he was thinking about it, he heard Ye Qingyue's sigh, "That can only be regarded as a kind of... regret."

After Ye Qingyue finished speaking, she silently raised her head with a look of reminiscence, the corners of her mouth slightly raised, revealing a faint smile.

……

"Hey, you guys, how can you laugh at others behind their backs!"

That day, the sun was shining brightly and the breeze was not dry.

Ye Qingyue, who had just joined the Lingmiao Peak of the Tianxuan Sect a few years ago, finished a day of practice and was on his way to the cafeteria when he happened to hear several disciples gathered together, saying some extremely unpleasant words in a wanton manner.

It seemed to be talking about a disciple named "Xu Qing", who had been studying for several years but couldn't even build a foundation.

He also said that he was able to join the sect because his father worked hard for the sect in the menial department for fifty years in exchange for the "Tianxuan Order."

It ended up being used on a loser, what a waste.

The corners of their mouths curled up as they laughed wildly, "I'm a loser and my father is a fool, but they're a perfect match. They really are a family, hahahaha."

Upon hearing this, Ye Qingyue immediately became angry.

She didn't think she was a person with a strong sense of justice, nor did she know the disciple named "Ye Qing".

But she especially hates people laughing at others behind their backs, and she dares to do things but not to take responsibility.

Especially a father who worked hard in the sect's menial work department for fifty years for his child in exchange for an opportunity to embark on the path of cultivation.

This kind of kindness should not be insulted and trampled upon.

So she immediately went up to those people and questioned them, "Hey, how dare you laugh at others behind their backs!"

"What's it to you? What's your relationship with him? And are we mocking you? We are just stating a fact."

Faced with her questioning, those people showed no sign of admitting their mistakes.

"Pa!" Ye Qingyue didn't know what she was thinking, and slapped the person who was speaking in the face.

When she realized what was going on, her face turned pale. "I was impulsive. What should I do? I should apologize. I should apologize if I did something wrong."

Then, when the man was about to get angry, she quickly bent down and said in an uneasy tone:
"Yes, I'm sorry. I don't know what happened just now. I just did it subconsciously. Otherwise, I will give you the spirit stones I received this month."

After saying that, she hurriedly took out a small bag of spirit stones from her storage bag, held it in her palm, and handed it over.

"If it's not enough, pills or elixirs will also work."

She closed her eyes and didn't dare to look at those people's reactions. More importantly... she was heartbroken.

These are the resources she just received this month. She hasn't even had time to enjoy them yet, but she has to hand them over. It's really heartbreaking.

But there was no other way. Who had let himself get carried away? If he didn't do this, and a fight broke out, and he was caught by the Law Enforcement Hall, the consequences would be even more serious.

Oh, just think of it as losing money to avoid disaster.

Just as she was waiting for the reactions of those people with heartache and anxiety in her heart, she heard their whispering voices.

"How to do?"

"I don't know. I was quite angry when she slapped me. If she had continued to challenge me like she did just now, it wouldn't have been a big deal.

But now she is like this...

Hey, why are you apologizing so suddenly?

Oh, I'm so annoyed. There's no point in continuing to fight. Let's just stop fighting... I feel so angry again.

Hey...how can there be such people? It's so annoying."

Ye Qingyue listened to the person she slapped sigh three times in a row, which made her secretly relieved in her heart.

If he said that, then there shouldn't be a fight, right? Fortunately, fortunately, I don't have to go to the Law Enforcement Hall.

Then she couldn't help but feel a little bit of anticipation in her heart. Would he not take her own spirit stone?

You probably won’t take it, right?
Don't take it, don't take it, don't take it.

Ye Qingyue prayed silently in her heart, and then she heard the sound of their discussion.

"What about this spirit stone? What should we do? Should we take it?"

Don’t take it, don’t take it, don’t take it!
Then a sneer was heard. "She's already taken it out. If we don't accept it, she'll definitely feel bad, right? You saw how she behaved. She's such a righteous person. I understand this kind of person, so let's just accept it."

No, you misunderstood. I have no sense of justice. I was just impulsive just now. I won't feel bad about it. You'd better not accept it.

Ye Qingyue was muttering to herself in tears, but she couldn't say the words out loud.

Hey, why was I so impulsive just now?

The man continued, "Besides, I can't take a slap in vain."

After he finished speaking, Ye Qingyue felt the weight in her hand lighten, and her heart sank suddenly. She knew that her spirit stone had been taken away.

Then she heard the man say, "Here are seven spirit stones. There are five of us here, so each of you can get one. I got slapped, so I'll take three. That's just right."

Hearing this, Ye Qingyue immediately mustered up the courage and said weakly, "Well... can you leave one for me?"

After she said that, she felt a burning sensation in her ears. She had clearly agreed to apologize.

But, it’s all been taken away, which really hurts!
The man was slightly stunned when he heard her words, obviously he didn't expect her to say that.

He glanced at Ye Qingyue, remained silent for a moment, put the two spirit stones back into the bag, and then put the bag back on her palm. He sighed, "Forget it, I'll leave two for you. You are such a person... Oh, forget it, I don't want to talk about it."

After they left, Ye Qingyue stared blankly at the two spirit stones in her hand, feeling somewhat relieved that she had two left. It was great.

But it still hurts.

She noted that today she had lost five spirit stones because of a man named "Xu Qing".

Of course, I’m not blaming him. After all, it was my own impulsiveness and it had nothing to do with the other person.

She just hoped that the man named "Xu Qing" could work harder and complete the foundation building as soon as possible, so as not to be laughed at again. Otherwise, wouldn't her five spirit stones be lost in vain?

……

Is he Xu Qing?
The first time Ye Qingyue met Xu Qing was in the menial yard. Because she was short of five spirit stones this month, she could only work hard on completing tasks, accumulating contribution points, and then exchanging them for spirit stones.

In fact, two spirit stones are enough, because the treatment in Tianxuan Sect is very good, there are abundant resources for cultivation, and the spiritual energy within the mountain gate is also sufficient, so there is no need to rely on spirit stones for cultivation.

But she still lacked spirit stones.

Because she needed to save up spirit stones to buy a very expensive elixir, she calculated that according to the current monthly distribution of seven spirit stones by the sect, plus the ten or so spirit stones she could obtain by completing tasks without affecting her cultivation, it would still take ten years to save enough.

She was planning to buy that pill for her father.

Like the man named Xu Qing, she also joined the sect through the Tianxuan Order, and for this reason her father spent fifty years in the menial service yard.

Now that her father is old, she wants to buy him a five-hundred-year-old pill for longevity.

In fact, she had told her father long ago that she didn't need the Tianxuan Order and could just take the test directly, but her father disagreed because he wasn't sure if she could pass the test. After all, he didn't know her own qualifications. This was also why she was very angry when she heard those people mocking "Xu Qing" and his father.

But what is this person named Xu Qing doing now?
He actually tried to please a chubby, ruddy-faced steward with a goatee.

He eats and drinks to his heart's content here, with a fawning look on his face.

Instead of practicing well, you just think about these crooked and evil ways.

How could he be worthy of the Tianxuan Order that his father had worked hard for fifty years to get him?
She immediately wanted to rush out and question the other party, "You caused me to lose five spirit stones, and yet you still don't practice hard."

But soon she stopped.

Because I have absolutely no reason to question the other party.

But she didn't leave. Instead, she kept watching from the side until the evening, when the man named Xu Qing left.

She watched him for a whole day and found that he really did nothing serious and was just trying to please the deacon.

She was immediately discouraged. How could she lose five spirit stones on impulse for such a person?
Just as she was about to leave, a voice came from her ear, "Little girl, I see you've been watching there all day. How about coming over for something to eat?"

She turned around and saw the butler with a goatee looking at her with a smile.

She was about to refuse, but the deacon smiled and said, "Eat some, that kid's cooking skills are really good.

Also, sometimes what you see isn't necessarily the truth. That kid is really trying hard."

"Do you know what I'm thinking?" Ye Qingyue was shocked.

The deacon waved to her.

She hesitated for a moment, but still walked over.

"You've been watching there all day, and the expressions on your face have changed so much. It's hard for me not to know. Come, try it." The deacon laughed and handed her a dish that smelled delicious.

It was a dish she had never seen before.

"Delicious." After just one bite, her eyes suddenly lit up.

"I didn't lie to you." The deacon said with a smile.

After that, the two of them didn't speak anymore. After all the food on the table was eaten, she bowed to the butler and said, "Thank you for your hospitality."

The deacon waved his hand and said, "It's okay. I just don't want to see a good child being misunderstood."

Ye Qingyue seemed to be thinking about something. After bowing again, he left.

After that day, she realized that she had indeed misunderstood the man named Xu Qing.

He is indeed not that kind of person. On the contrary, he works very hard, harder than himself and anyone else.

Even though he hadn't built a foundation for several years and saw no hope, he still practiced diligently.

This made her feel a little ashamed that she actually regarded such a hard-working person as someone who was trying to take shortcuts.

She wanted to apologize to the other party.

But there is no reason.

But she felt she could be friends with him.

So she stepped forward and prepared to look for Xu Qingshi, but it happened to be raining and he had already left.

Next time.

A few days later, after she finished her practice, she recalled this incident and discovered that Xu Qing was no longer at the thatched cottage by the spiritual field. She guessed that he might be in the servants' quarters. When she hurried over, the goateed deacon squinted his eyes and smiled at her, "He left not long ago. Come and sit down."

Had a full meal.

She didn't know what was going on. Every time she tried to communicate with Xu Qing, something always happened. The first time, a monster attacked the spiritual field. The second time, a fight between her senior brothers took place. The third time, a bolt of lightning struck her directly in front of her. She was so frightened that she couldn't move. The fourth time...

Her practice was not going well during that period. She made no progress in more than a year and was very upset. However, when she watched Xu Qing working hard from afar, she felt encouraged.

If he can work so hard, I can do it too.

When she looked at Xu Qing from afar, nothing happened, but when she wanted to find him, strange things happened one after another.

There are even things like hail in June.

It took Xu Qing twelve years to finally complete the foundation building, and that day, she also saved enough spirit stones to buy a longevity pill for her father.

She was very happy that her wish had been fulfilled, and she no longer thought about looking for Xu Qing.

I'll have a chance to communicate with him again in the future.

She met Xu Qing several times later, and they passed each other head-on, but each time she happened to have something urgent to do.

"He's gone. Haven't you spoken to him yet? I see you really want to be friends with him. That kid is rather timid and has no friends in the sect. I was thinking you could become friends with him."

In the servants' yard, the butler with a goatee shook his head with regret and sighed.

Ye Qingyue was stunned when she heard this. He actually left like that?
But if you think about it carefully, it makes sense. With his qualifications, it is normal for him to be unable to pass the sect's assessment and be eliminated.

But why didn’t I think of this before?
If I had thought of it earlier, when I met him head-on, I would insist on saying a few words to him even if it was urgent.

She didn't have any feelings for Xu Qing. The only thing they had in common was that they both joined the sect by exchanging the Tianxuan Order through their father.

And because of him, I lost five spirit stones in my impulsiveness.

Seeing him working so hard, I wanted to have some conversation with him.

She felt that they might be able to become friends, and that she should have such a friend in her life. It was a very simple thought.

But it didn't happen.

This made her feel a little lonely.

"Forget it, we've already left. There's no point in thinking too much. The food on the table is still hot. Let's sit down and have a few bites together.

You won’t have the chance to eat such delicious food again.”

The goateed butler sighed and waved at her.

Ye Qingyue sat down after hearing this.

She actually came here often to eat, and always missed Xu Qing perfectly.

The food he cooked was really delicious, but I ate so much without even saying a word to him.

I feel even more lonely, and there is a hint of regret.

Ye Qingyue was not aware of the fact that Xu Qing's son and grandson had joined the sect.

Because Xu Mo’s two aliases are still so low-key.

In fact, except for well-informed people like Wang Er, most people in Lingmiao Peak did not know that Xu Qing's son and grandson had also joined the sect.

After all, no one has promoted it specifically.

Xu Mo's relationship was well known to everyone because he had told Senior Brother Yi An about it at the beginning, and later became famous among Elder Ouyang.

Everyone suddenly realized that Junior Brother Xu Qing, who was once ridiculed by everyone, then admired, and wanted to be retained but failed, actually had such an outstanding descendant.

In that case, we naturally have to take good care of him.

The same was true for Ye Qingyue. The loneliness and regret of past missed opportunities instantly emerged after she learned about Xu Mo's situation.

Although I failed to become friends with him, at least I can take good care of his descendants.

……

"Is your great-grandfather okay now?" Ye Qingyue looked at Xu Mo and asked.

Xu Mo hesitated for a moment and replied, "He left home when I was born, saying he was going to look for an opportunity to break through...

But there has been no news since then, so I guess it failed."

Ye Qingyue fell silent after hearing this, and then said softly: "But with you here, he will definitely feel at ease."

Xu Mo smiled slightly, "I think so too, that's why I never let up."

Ye Qingyue nodded, agreeing with Xu Mo's words.

After this little episode, the people present felt a little less uneasy.

No matter how things have happened in the past, they cannot be changed. We still have to look forward.

After Xu Mo calmed everyone down, he let them go.

He was not sure if there were still enemies lurking in Wuyou Peak, but all he could do now was to be vigilant and focus on doing his own thing.

Since the enemy doesn't want me to conduct research on increasing the production of spiritual rice, I have to do what they want and must do it.
