Shen Qing pressed for details about who this distinguished guest was that the Misty Azure Sect Master was preparing to receive so grandly.
But the disciples stammered and couldn't give a clear answer. They only said that it was a good friend of the Misty Azure Sect Master, which was why the reception was so elaborate.
However, Shen Qing had a bad feeling in her heart.
Those who were up to no good wouldn't miss any opportunity to cause trouble. This distinguished guest was probably related to them.
Shen Qing told Li Xian about this. Li Xian had been pulling weeds in Qing Qing's yard these days. His originally irritable expression had become more and more serene, looking like a monk ringing a bell.
After listening to Shen Qing's analysis, Li Xian put down the small shovel in his hand and stretched his slightly tired hands.
"Don't worry," Li Xian reached out and stroked Shen Qing's head, looking calm and composed.
Shen Qing was a bit confused. Just a few days ago, Li Xian was still unhappy because of a remark from the Misty Azure Sect Master. But after just a few days of pulling weeds, it seemed as if he had pulled out all his bad emotions.
Shen Qing hesitated for a moment and asked, "Did you go crazy from pulling weeds?"
Li Xian's stretching motion paused for a moment. He was quite speechless. "Can't I have seen through the mortal world?"
Shen Qing raised an eyebrow. "If you've seen through the mortal world, what about me?"
Li Xian lowered his head and thought for a while, then smiled. "Qing Qing is in my heart, not a mortal being."
Shen Qing was speechless and blushed deeply.
Li Xian showed his first smile in these days, and the melancholy in his heart truly dissipated.
He originally thought that after escaping from that woman's control, he could live a peaceful life. However, there were still people who wanted to threaten him with that woman.
But he couldn't always be immersed in the past. Yu Xuzi had long told him that with his talent, he should have already broken through to the Nascent Soul stage and reached a higher realm.
However, because of the things weighing on his mind, he had been stuck in one place.
Even when it came to breaking through to the Nascent Soul stage, Yu Xuzi was worried that his Dao heart was unstable. So he would rather let Li Xian take pills to suppress his cultivation than let him force a breakthrough.
If he hadn't met Shen Qing and had this experience, perhaps his life would have just ended like this.
So now that he had finally managed to move his life forward, he would never allow others to disrupt his peaceful life.
After figuring this out, Li Xian didn't feel so uncomfortable anymore.
Moreover, Qing Qing's yard was quiet, surrounded by vibrant spiritual herbs. With Shen Qing chatting with him from time to time, time slowly passed and quietly filled the void in Li Xian's heart.
Now, he was no longer afraid.
Shen Qing sensed Li Xian's joy. Although she didn't know the reason, she was still happy for him.
Qing Qing had been soaking in a medicinal bath these days. Lian Shan Elder had added all kinds of precious herbs into it as if they were worthless.
Just the millennium purple ginseng, he had thrown three or four roots into it.
Fortunately, after adding so many spiritual herbs, Qing Qing's complexion finally looked better.
Jiang Zhiyun had been taking care of Qing Qing without rest. Although her body wasn't tired, her mind was on high alert. She also had to be vigilant against Ban Fenghuo's schemes. So when she learned that Qing Qing was getting better, no one was happier than her.
Qing Qing was in a daze and would occasionally regain consciousness. At first, he felt embarrassed being naked and wanted Jiang Zhiyun to help him put on clothes. But he fainted again before he could finish his sentence.
Jiang Zhiyun didn't react in time. Seeing Qing Qing point at the bathtub before fainting, she thought he was cold and heated the water in the bathtub some more.
So when Qing Qing woke up the second time, seeing his body flushed red as if he had been cooked, he almost fainted again with his eyes rolling back.
It took Qing Qing a long time to make his meaning clear, but then Jiang Zhiyun became shy and didn't dare to help Qing Qing put on his pants.
So Jiang Zhiyun found Li Xian. But at that time, Li Xian was still in a bad mood and misunderstood Jiang Zhiyun's intention. He thought she wanted him to lift Qing Qing up.
So when Li Xian grabbed the naked Qing Qing out of the water, Li Xian was stunned, Jiang Zhiyun was dumbfounded, and Qing Qing fainted on the spot.
"Ahhhhh!! What are you doing? He's not wearing pants!!"
Jiang Zhiyun shouted and quickly covered her eyes, but couldn't help peeking through her fingers with a blushing face.
Li Xian quickly pushed Qing Qing back into the water and apologetically helped him put on his pants. "Brother, I'm sorry for the rudeness..."
"Um, Shen Qing told me to go pull weeds. This was an accident. Just forget about it."
Jiang Zhiyun turned her face away, wishing she could bury her head.
And there were many such blunders in these short few days.
Every time Lian Shan Elder came, he had to be prepared for Qing Qing to have some new injuries.
After Qing Qing finally regained his senses and no longer fainted at any time, after the Azure Wood Sect had prepared for a long time, the distinguished guest they were going to receive finally arrived.
As a disciple of the Azure Wood Sect, Jiang Zhiyun was ordered to go and greet the distinguished guest. So the task of taking care of Qing Qing was handed over to Li Xian and Shen Qing.
The whole day, the Azure Wood Sect was filled with the sounds of bells and drums. The occasion was so grand that if someone didn't know, they might think someone in the Azure Wood Sect had ascended.
Although Qing Qing was weak, he could still speak. So he chatted with Li Xian and Shen Qing to pass the time.
It wasn't until evening that a tired-looking Jiang Zhiyun returned to Qing Qing's yard and started telling the three of them what had happened that day.
Originally, everyone thought that the distinguished guest the Misty Azure Sect Master had been so meticulously preparing for was some great power. So the disciples gathered in the square early in the morning, and even the elders had been waiting at the mountain gate for a long time.
It had to be said that the Misty Azure Sect Master was very good at persuasion. Although the elders didn't know who the guest was, under the Misty Azure Sect Master's persuasion, they were willing to stand at the mountain gate to greet the so-called distinguished guest.
In Jiang Zhiyun's words, Lian Shan Elder already had a bad complexion because of Qing Qing's matter. After waiting for several hours, his face was as black as charcoal.
Just when the disciples' patience was about to run out, the distinguished guest appeared at the hottest time of the day.
Everyone thought they would see a mysterious great power, or at least a well - known real person or elder from various sects. Who would have thought that the guest was a ragged old woman.
The old woman was tightly wrapped from head to toe. Her clothes were very dark in color and had patches. Her exposed face was full of vicissitudes, and gray hair was scattered on both sides of her cheeks, making her look very untidy.
Moreover, there was a scar on the left side of her face that reached up to her eyebrow bone. Coupled with her expressionless face, she looked very fierce.
After hearing Jiang Zhiyun's description, a hint of uneasiness flashed across Li Xian's face, and there was also some doubt in his eyes.
Shen Qing noticed Li Xian's strangeness and secretly asked, "What, do you know her?"
Li Xian hesitated for a moment. There was still doubt in his eyes. He hesitated and said, "It seems to be, but it also seems not..."
In Li Xian's memory, if it really was that person, she would never have made herself so miserable. She loved beauty the most. Even when his father passed away, she still had to think about which dress to wear.
But the scar on the left side of her face... was indeed something that person had...
