Chapter 135 Lotus Tower 9
Chapter 135 Lotus Tower 9
Spring goes and autumn comes, flowers bloom and fall, and as the seasons alternate, a year passes by in the blink of an eye.
On Yunyin Mountain, shrouded in mist, it resembles a fairyland. Standing amidst the mountains stands an exquisite and elegant pavilion, named Yunju Pavilion.
In Yunju Pavilion, Cen Po and Qi Mushan were sitting together looking at Li Xiangxian.
Grandma Cen asked anxiously, "How is it? Is Xiangyi coming back?" Her eyes flashed with anticipation and worry.
Qi Mushan snorted and said angrily, "Yeah, that brat left without saying a word. I'll definitely teach him a lesson when he comes back!"
At this moment, there was a loud "pa" sound, and Grandma Cen slapped Qi Mushan's arm fiercely, saying angrily: "What are you trying to show me? I think you want to show me, huh?!"
Qi Mushan was startled by Cen Po's anger and felt a little embarrassed at the same time.
He looked at Li Xiangxian who was looking at him with a teasing look. He couldn't help feeling embarrassed and annoyed, and shouted angrily: "What are you looking at, old man? And you, old woman, too. Can't you give me some face?"
At the end of his words, his voice unconsciously lowered because Grandma Cen's eyes became more and more dangerous.
Qimushan muttered to himself, "Only women and villains are difficult to raise. Forget it, a real man doesn't fight with a woman." He looked aggrieved on the surface, but he kept muttering in his heart.
Seeing Qi Mushan's demeanor, Granny Cen couldn't help but roll her eyes, thinking, "My old man really has no self-awareness at all. Although he was quite handsome and attractive when he was young, he's now covered in wrinkles, and he still behaves like this. It's simply unbearable to look at, it's an eyesore."
Cen Po and Qi Mushan had no children, so they poured all their love into their disciples, among whom the most favored was Li Xiangyi.
Although they were dissatisfied with Li Xiangyi's leaving without saying goodbye, they were more worried about him. When they learned that Li Xiangyi had sent a letter back, they immediately came to Li Xiangxian to check the letter.
So the question is, why did they go to Li Xiangxian to read the letter?
It turned out that after Li Xiangyi left, he realized that he had not said goodbye to his master and his mistress, and he felt guilty.
He then passed the letter to his brother, Lee Sang-hyeon, expressing his apologies for leaving without saying goodbye and hoping for forgiveness from his master and his wife. He also promised to return home as soon as possible.
Li Xiangyi's letter was sincere and earnest, which made Cen Po and Qi Mushan's dissatisfaction disappear. They believed that Li Xiangyi would be back soon, and besides, she was here...
Qimushan and Cenpo's eyes wandered to Xiangyi's room. They didn't know why Xiangyi left suddenly, but maybe it was related to the mysterious white fox.
After reading the letter, Li Xiangxian's eyes unconsciously looked towards the room that had not been opened for a year. Since Xiangyi left, Xiaojiu had been staying in the room and had never come out.
A feeling of worry welled up in his heart. After all, after spending ten years together, he had already regarded Lin Jiu as his own sister.
Just as the three people's eyes were focused on the tightly closed door at the same time, as if sensing their gaze, the long-sealed door finally slowly opened.
Sunlight shone through the crack in the door, casting a dazzling golden glow. Everyone looked closely and saw a young woman standing quietly at the door.
She looked about fifteen or sixteen years old, with skin as white as snow and a slender and graceful figure, like a willow branch swaying in the wind. Her cheeks were charming, her nose was straight and beautiful, and her lips were delicate and juicy, like a blooming flower.
Especially those fox-like eyes, which are crystal clear, yet reveal a hint of cunning and agility. Such a look is full of contradictions, yet it shows a unique beauty that makes people fall in love with it.
Everyone was stunned. Grandma Cen looked at Lin Jiu who suddenly appeared in surprise, and asked with confusion on her face: "What...what is going on?"
Lin Jiu blinked and sighed in his heart, it feels so good to be a human being after such a long time!
Hearing Grandma Cen's question, she happily skipped in front of everyone, her eyebrows curved, the corners of her mouth raised, revealing a sweet smile, and she said softly: "My name is Lin Jiu, you can call me Ajiu or Xiaojiu."
As for her origins, Lin Jiu did not explain in detail, but chose to let them imagine it on their own.
After all, she was different from Lee Sang-hyeon. Although Lee Sang-hyeon was dead, he was a person of this land, so he could continue to exist in the form of a soul.
But she is different. Although her body is that of a local little fox, her soul is not. In order to avoid attracting the attention of the Heavenly Dao, she usually does not reveal her true origins.
Of course, it wasn't because she was afraid of the Heavenly Dao; with her strength, she was fully capable of defeating it. It was just that she didn't want to clash with it. To do so would only be detrimental to her and would also bring upon herself the consequences of this world, a loss that wouldn't be worth the gain.
Besides, she was only here to watch the show, so there was really no need to make a big fuss. Therefore, she decided to lie low and try not to attract attention.
Qi Mushan and Cen Po looked at the woman with a hint of surprise on their faces. After seeing her full head of white hair, they looked at each other again, and a glint of understanding flashed in their eyes.
The two glanced at Li Xiangxian and laughed secretly in their hearts, as if saying: "Look, the fox has become a spirit!"
Li Xiangxian remained calm, yet he couldn't help but sigh inwardly. He knew Lin Jiu could transform into a human form, but he hadn't expected it to happen so quickly. He presumably had been deeply cultivating for the past year.
Li Xiangxian felt a pang of embarrassment upon noticing Qi Mushan and Cen Po's gazes, thinking they must be remembering the ghostly encounter from back then. If Xiang Yi hadn't explained it promptly, they would have attacked him long ago.
Since then, Li Xiangxian often appeared in front of everyone in human form. Over time, everyone got used to it.
Grandma Cen was so happy when she saw the beautiful Lin Jiu in front of her.
She pulled Lin Jiu to sit beside her, and then they whispered intimately, "As for me, ever since I took in those brats, I've finally satisfied my desire to raise a child. But as time went on, I felt they weren't good enough, and I started to long for a sweet, soft, and non-naughty daughter."
As she spoke, Granny Cen couldn't help but sigh, and said with emotion: "Alas, they say that greed is like a snake swallowing an elephant. I am really greedy!"
Lin Jiu felt warm in her heart when she heard what Aunt Cen said. She smiled and hugged Aunt Cen's arm, saying coquettishly, "Aunt Cen, please don't say that. I actually like you too!"
When Grandma Cen heard Lin Jiu's words, her face immediately lit up with smiles. She gently patted Lin Jiu's hand and said, "Haha, good boy, I'm very happy that you like me!"
Lin Jiu nodded and continued, "Auntie Cen, you often made delicious food for me before. Now, there must be more delicious food, right?"
Aunt Cen was amused by Lin Jiu's innocence. She smiled and replied, "Of course, Xiao Jiu, just tell me. As long as you want to eat something, Aunt Cen will make it for you!"
When Lin Jiu heard this, her eyes sparkled and the smile on her lips became even brighter. She couldn't wait to ask, "Really? Aunt Cen, I want to eat braised pork, is that okay?"
Granny Cen nodded lovingly and said, "Okay, okay, Xiaojiu can eat whatever he wants. Auntie Cen will make you some delicious braised pork later!"
Lin Jiu jumped up happily, hugged Grandma Cen's neck and kissed her, then started chatting with Grandma Cen with a smile.
The two grown men, Qi Mushan and Li Xiangxian, who were just bystanders, were ignored by them. They looked at each other, feeling helpless.
