Luo Jinxiao didn't know what happened. Seeing Qu Weiyin coughing miserably, he hurried forward to pat her on the back, but she blocked his attack with one hand.
"What did you say?" Qu Weiyin covered her face, leaving only a pair of eyes exposed, and coughed with water splashing out of her eyes.
Luo Jinxiao didn't know how to explain it for a moment. She pointed blankly in the direction of the wing room and said, "Well, they are too noisy. I can't sleep."
She hugged the quilt with a sincere look in her eyes.
Qu Weiyin realized that she had misunderstood her for a moment, and felt more and more embarrassed. She didn't have the heart to refuse her, so she put her hand down, pretended to be calm, picked up the book that had just been thrown away, and nodded.
Luo Jinxiao didn't expect Qu Weiyin to agree so quickly. She was delighted and rushed into the room, spread out the bedding, turned over and lay down, all in one go.
"Junior Master's room is indeed much bigger and the decoration is more exquisite, unlike ours. I haven't slept in the same bed with someone else for a long time, and I'm really not used to it." Luo Jinxiao tossed the bedding and covered his lower abdomen safely.
"Why do I remember that the Luo family treated you badly?" Qu Weiyin turned a page of the book in front of her and said casually.
Luo Jinxiao paused for a moment while sorting out his clothes, then continued, laughing: "No matter how bad it is, there is still a bed."
Qu Weiyin didn't say anything. Luo Jinxiao secretly looked at her and was relieved when she saw that she didn't ask any more questions. She thought it was a good thing that Qu Weiyin didn't pursue the matter further, otherwise she wouldn't know how to prevaricate.
The two of them fell silent. The light of the oil lamp flickered, and only the rustling sound of turning pages could be heard, which made people even more drowsy. Luo Jinxiao became unconscious after a while.
The faint scent of flowers fills the room, making people feel inexplicably at ease.
After a long time, Qu Weiyin finally finished reading a book. When she looked up again, Luo Jinxiao had fallen asleep, and the quilt that was originally covering him was flipped to the side.
Qu Weiyin put the book down, moved her fingertips slightly, and the quilt automatically wrapped around Luo Jinxiao.
Luo Jinxiao was very restless when sleeping. After a while, she opened the quilt again. Qu Weiyin exhaled heavily and used her spiritual power to cover her again from a distance.
She kicked it away again.
Qu Weiyin couldn't bear it any longer, so she raised her wrist and the quilt stretched out immediately, wrapping Luo Jinxiao into a cylinder.
It's quiet now.
Qu Weiyin walked to Luo Jinxiao, hesitated for a while, and finally turned around. The bright red skirt spun smoothly along her ankles and dragged in a semicircle on the ground.
A beam of pale golden light appeared in front of her. She turned over and lay on it. It was like a soft bed, just floating in the air.
She turned her head and looked at Luo Jinxiao's profile. Luo Jinxiao was sleeping soundly, with her eyes closed, long eyelashes, delicate face, and rosy lips like pearls. She was delicate and handsome, and although her eyes were not open, she looked very beautiful.
I don’t know what this child will look like when she grows into a woman.
She had unconsciously begun to feel thankful that she was alive in this life, otherwise she would have always felt regretful.
Qu Weiyin withdrew her gaze, closed her eyes and fell asleep. The lights went out, and a wisp of smoke rose up.
Luo slept very well tonight, except for a slight breathing problem. When she woke up, it was already early morning. The hazy morning light squeezed into the room through the window and woke her up.
She wanted to stretch, but her arms were tied and she couldn't move. She struggled for a long time before she rolled out of the quilt.
"How could you sleep so indecently." Luo Jinxiao held his waist and shook his head. There was no trace of Qu Weiyin around him. He looked for her everywhere but couldn't find her. He didn't know where she had gone.
Luo Jinxiao found a pen and paper in her room and carefully wrote a note of thanks. Then he packed up and left. When he returned to his room, Lu Fanzhi had just woken up sleepily.
"You got up so early again tonight." Lu Fanzhi yawned and struggled to put on his outer robe.
"Yes, sister, I didn't see you when I woke up just now. Where have you been?" Luo Ning came in with a plate of breakfast, placed it neatly on the table, picked up a bowl of porridge and was about to hand it to Luo Jinxiao.
Before Luo Jinxiao could reach out to catch it, Yan Ying, who appeared out of nowhere, snatched the porridge away, lifted her skirt elegantly and sat down. Luo Ning reached out to grab it, but failed.
"Why doesn't it burn you to death!" Luo Ning muttered with pouting lips.
Yan Ying raised her eyebrows at her with interest, and Luo Ning got angry. The two of them almost started fighting again. Fortunately, Luo Jinxiao pulled them apart with one hand each. She was so confused: "Can you guys be quiet for a while?"
"Let me go!" Yan Ying slapped her hand and rolled her eyes.
Seeing this, Luo Jinxiao deliberately loosened his grip on her hand. Yan Ying couldn't keep her balance and the scalding hot porridge in her hand spilled over her sleeves, scalding her and causing her to jump up on the spot.
Luo Jinxiao pretended not to see it and sat aside leisurely enjoying his breakfast.
"Sister, today is the Ten Directions Grand Gathering. There are always people injured and killed at every Ten Directions Grand Gathering. You should eat more so that you will have the strength for later." Luo Ning said with concern.
"Hehe, what's the point of eating more? Not everyone can be selected to participate in the Ten Directions Festival. I'm afraid she doesn't even have the qualifications to enter." Yan Ying wiped her hands and watched coldly from the side.
"You don't have one either, don't you?" Lu Fanzhi interrupted. She reached out and took a bun. "It is said that the prize of this Ten Directions Festival is very precious. It is a pill that gathers the spirit of heaven and earth. It is said that it was refined when the leader of the Wuhui Sect was still alive. Eating it can greatly improve your cultivation. I'm afraid that this time, everyone will flock to it."
"Pills?" Luo Jinxiao became interested as soon as she heard it. The art of alchemy is not something that everyone can master, so good pills are also very rare. If she could get the pills and practice with them, her cultivation would definitely reach a higher level.
"I don't know how difficult this year is. I heard that last time, there were several people seriously injured." Lu Fanzhi shook his head.
Soon the sun rose above the branches, making the air warm. Luo Jinxiao, Luo Ning, Lu Fanzhi and others followed the crowd and walked deeper into the villa. Most of the disciples from various sects around them were also in groups, and they all looked very excited.
"Were there any people from Wuhui Sect who participated in the last Ten Directions Gathering?" Luo Jinxiao asked.
"Of course there are, and they got good rankings, but they all went out to gain experience, so my sister has never seen them." Luo Ning replied.
"So, Junior Master did not participate?"
"No, although Junior Master Qu has a high level of cultivation, he never participates in such activities and is very reclusive. Also, my sister and Junior Master Qu both arrived late this year, so neither of them submitted their names. I submitted it for you, but not Junior Master Qu's." Luo Ning shook her head.
After hearing this, Luo Jinxiao didn't ask any other questions. Maybe because Qu Weiyin was not there this time, she felt a little uneasy.
But she immediately suppressed this uneasiness. She was used to being alone. Perhaps it was because Qu Weiyin had always protected her in everything she did these times, so she was somewhat used to it.
This kind of mentality is unacceptable, otherwise how can you protect others in the future.
The crowd in front of him suddenly stopped and blocked the way. Luo Jinxiao stood on tiptoe to take a look, and saw a few old men with gray beards standing in front of him, forming a circle, muttering something in a low voice.
With a few exclamations, the originally flat ground seemed to melt, revealing a large hole with stars dotted in the hole, like a galaxy.
"Here it comes, this is the entrance. I wonder who can win the first place this time." Lu Fanzhi shook Luo Jinxiao's arm frantically.
"Tianji Tower, Lin Anyu."
"Tianji Tower, Bai Liu'er."
"Qingyan Palace, Chi Yi."
The masked woman seen in Pingxi Town before walked out of the crowd. This time she was not wearing a mask, and her face was surprisingly beautiful, making the women from Tianji Tower look pale in comparison.
Maybe because Luo Jinxiao looked at her a few more times, she also noticed Luo Jinxiao from the side, with a look of surprise on her face, and smiled and nodded at her.
Just as Luo Jinxiao was about to return the gift, he heard another voice from the front: "Wuhui Sect, Luo Jinxiao."
Luo Jinxiao's ears twitched slightly. Although she wanted the elixir, she didn't really think that her name would be called. She also didn't know the basis for selecting the name in the list. If she went by the cultivation level known to outsiders, she was just at the foundation-building stage.
While she was still in a daze, Lu Fanzhi behind her pushed her hard, and she took a few steps forward.
"Nice to meet you again." Chi Yi stood beside her and winked at her.
"Nice to meet you. Do you know how this name was chosen?" Luo Jinxiao asked quietly.
Chi Yi was very frank at first glance, and had the heroic spirit of a man of the Jianghu. He did not shy away from saying, "It is to put the birth date and eight characters together with the name into the formation to select the predestined people. We were delayed before, so we asked a junior brother to come in advance and hand in our names."
Luo Jinxiao nodded when she heard that, but her eyes involuntarily turned to the crowd. Qu Weiyin was not there. She had not been seen all morning.
Could something have happened? Luo Jinxiao always felt that his heart was not touching the ground.
Before they knew it, the names had been announced. Dozens of people stood in a row and after being checked by several white-bearded old men, they jumped down one by one.
"What's in your purse?" An old man stopped her, pointed at the purse hanging around her waist with sharp eyes.
Luo Jinxiao looked down, took it off gently, reached out and took out the Qiongqi, then handed the purse to the old man and said, "My spirit beast, and some odds and ends."
The old man's eyes were not very clear. He moved closer to Qiongqi and took a look. His dry neck trembled and he said, "Big insect."
Luo Jinxiao coughed and did not refute. While the old man was checking his purse, he took the Qiongqi into his arms and lowered his head to rub its nose.
But today, Qiongqi was a little abnormal, as if he was extremely disgusted by her touch. He kept shaking his head to avoid her, with a ferocious look in his eyes.
"Why are you so fierce today?" Luo Jinxiao pretended to kiss it and said softly, "But it's good, now it looks like a fierce beast."
Qiongqi's refusal was even more obvious, and he almost bit off Luo Jinxiao's nose with his teeth bared.
"Okay, go in." The old man handed her the purse tremblingly, and added, "Few immortal cultivators use purses. This purse must have been given by some important person."
Luo Jinxiao bit her lips lightly with her pearly teeth, shook her head, nodded, and spoke very slowly: "Well... I guess so."
What was strange was that the Qiongqi who had been resisting in her arms just now suddenly stopped moving and collapsed limply in her arms.
