She asked: "Yuanqiu, who was it last night?"
Yuan Qiu knew what she meant by asking, so he said calmly: "It's Elder Xu. He originally asked me not to say anything, for fear of embarrassing you."
The sect leader's eyes widened and he said in disbelief: "It's Elder Xu? Is it him? How could it be him?"
Xia Yuanqiu nodded and said: "It's him. After you were poisoned, he chased you out of the ancestral hall. He cared about you very much. He really cared about you. It was not a perfunctory concern like others. I told him your situation and told him If you ask him, unless you are sincere, you will pretend you don’t know.”
He didn't think much about it, he said he was willing, just afraid that you wouldn't.
The situation at that time did not allow for too much thought. You also know that the poison of Mei Gujiao can be disastrous if it cannot be detoxified within an hour.
The sect master naturally knew that, and he also knew that Yuan Qiu was doing it for her own good, but that man turned out to be Elder Xu.
Last night, although she couldn't see his face clearly, the feeling when she was entangled with him, and the person who brought her the long-lost heartbeat and affection, turned out to be Elder Xu, whom she was most familiar with.
She knew Elder Xu's situation. Like her, he had been widowed for many years and had no children. She never thought that one day something like this would happen to Elder Xu.
She couldn't tell how she felt at this moment, but it was definitely not disgust.
Xia Yuanqiu looked at the sect master's changing face. He was worried, anxious, annoyed, even expecting and shy, but he was not upset or angry. It seemed that another good thing was about to happen.
The reason why people want to get married and have children is because they are afraid of loneliness and need partners to support each other and grow old together.
The head of the sect has a high position and is famous and expected to have a fortune, but she is also a woman. She needs a home and a man who will take care of her. After dark, she can have arms to hold her and talk to her about her concerns.
When you are sick, there is always someone who cares and greets you, and when you are depressed, someone is there to comfort you.
The same goes for Elder Xu. He is a man, and he needs a woman to take care of his daily life. When he goes home at night, the lights in his room are on, and when he is hungry, someone will accompany him to feed him.
This is a person's greatest happiness, ordinary and real.
"Sect Master, Elder Xu is a reliable man who can be trusted for life."
Xia Yuanqiu had known Elder Xu for a short time and knew that Elder Xu was a good person and a rare good person. Naturally, the sect leader knew better what kind of person Elder Xu was.
The sect master lowered his head slightly and whispered: "What did he say?"
Xia Yuanqiu smiled lightly, walked beside the bed, and laughed softly: "He said that if the sect leader doesn't like what happened last night, he can just pretend that it never happened at all, and he will forget it and never mention it to anyone."
The sect leader's expression changed slightly and he frowned: "Did he actually say that?"
Xia Yuanqiu smiled again and said: "He also said that if the sect master does not give up, he is willing to be employed for life and stay with the sect master for the rest of his life."
The sect leader's expression softened slightly, a look of joy appeared on his brows, and he pursed his lips and said, "Did he really say that?"
Xia Yuanqiu pretended to be aggrieved and said: "Sect Master, you don't believe me? How can you say such nonsense? You will understand it as soon as you ask. What's the point if I talk nonsense?"
The sect leader didn't know why, but right now, she was in a state of confusion, looking forward to it, and a little scared, fearing that this sudden fate would eventually turn out to be nothing.
After all, she is older and has many things to think about, and is not as simple and comfortable as a little girl.
Xia Yuanqiu said again: "Sect Master, I know you are very upset right now, but there are some things that you really don't need to worry about. You can just act according to your heart."
