Chapter 370 Which Kind of Like
Chapter 370 Which Kind of Like
"Shen Xu, who is this girl beside you?" Even with Song Qi's experience, he couldn't help but feel a little nervous. He didn't know what Yang Qiqi would do if she found out that Shen Xu also had a Daoist partner.
"Oh! This is..." But before he could finish speaking, Bai Lu smiled and said to Shen Xu in his shocked gaze, "Bai Lu, Shen Xu's friend."
Shen Xu immediately breathed a sigh of relief; he was really afraid that Bai Lu would utter the words "Daoist partner."
Upon hearing this, Song Qi and the two women behind him smiled, as long as they weren't Daoist partners.
But when Song Qi thought of Wang Ya, his heart sank. He had originally thought that bringing Wang Ya along would be a happy thing, but who knew that it would turn out like this.
"Oh, I just remembered that my parents also came to Tianjian City from Tianhe Sword Sect. They insist on meeting you, and the date is set for today. I'm afraid we won't have enough time," Qin Qing said apologetically.
"Xiao Qing, why didn't you say so sooner!" Lu Qingshan suddenly felt uneasy.
"Qingshan, you should go with Miss Qin! Your affairs with Miss Qin are more important," Song Qi advised, knowing that Lu Qingshan's departure would be a relief for everyone at this time.
“Senior Brother Lu, the sect leader can rest easy here, you don’t need to worry,” Shen Xu said.
"Sect Leader, I apologize. I will definitely take my junior brothers and sisters to explore Tianjian City properly when I have time," Lu Qingshan solemnly promised.
"I'm already pleased that you have this intention. Go quickly, don't waste any time."
"Thank you, Sect Leader!" Lu Qingshan knelt on the ground and bowed deeply to Song Qi.
"Sigh! Let's go!" Song Qi sighed deeply.
After Lu Qingshan left with Qin Qing, Shen Xu said to the others, "Sect Leader, please wait here for a while. I will go and bring them back."
"Shen Xu, thank you for your trouble." Hearing Song Qi's disappointed words, Shen Xu felt that Song Qi seemed to have aged several years out of nowhere.
"Senior Brother Shen, let me go with you! I know their rooms." A cool female voice rang in Shen Xu's ears, making him feel somewhat unfamiliar with it.
Shen Xu then noticed Yang Qiqi. After not seeing her for many years, Yang Qiqi was still dressed in a green dress, but she had become more and more graceful and was getting closer and closer to the Yang Qiqi in his memory. The saying "a girl changes a lot as she grows up" is not an empty phrase.
But this also means that the time for the Blood Tide is getting closer and closer, and his escape plan has not yet been implemented. This makes him feel more urgent. He must break through to the Qi Sea Realm as soon as possible.
Bai Lu looked closely at the girl in green who had suddenly spoken, and couldn't help but be a little surprised.
She never expected that Shen Xu's sect would have such a pure and ethereal girl. Her eyes were like a secluded spring in the mountains, and her figure was like a spirited deer in the forest. Even the air around her seemed to soften with her smile.
How could she allow Shen Xu to harm such a beautiful young girl? She had to stop the girl from falling into an endless abyss.
“I’ll go with you! I know this place better than any of you,” Bai Lu said immediately.
“You all stay here! I don’t think they’ve gone far. I can manage on my own. Sending more people will only cause trouble. I’ll explain what happened to them.”
"Qiqi, Jiang Yun, you can ask Bailu any questions you have. She knows more about Tianjian City and the Four Directions Sword Alliance than I do."
“Okay!” the two agreed.
"Bai Lu, I'll leave things here to you." Shen Xu earnestly instructed.
"Alright, then I'll wait for you here."
"Sister Bai, do you know what's really going on between Senior Brother Lu and Miss Qin?" Yang Qiqi asked after Shen Xu left.
Looking at Yang Qiqi, Bai Lu couldn't help but smile, "This girl knows how to talk."
"I don't know much either. I remember that Qin Qing was in charge of leading the sword-selection candidates from all over the country to visit the Tianhe Sword Sect. She and Lu Qingshan should have met around that time..."
Later, they came to Tianjian City together, joined the Tianhe Society together, and passed the sword selection together. Perhaps their feelings were cultivated during that time!
Qin Qing has indeed helped Lu Qingshan a lot, so I'm not surprised that she's with him.
"How did Sister Bai and Senior Brother Shen meet?"
Bai Lu gave Yang Qiqi a meaningful look and then said, "This is a long story, and it can't be explained in a short time. Why don't you ask another question?"
"Does Sister Bai like Senior Brother Shen?"
The people in the room were stunned when they heard Yang Qiqi's question. They had not expected Yang Qiqi to be so direct.
Bai Lu was also taken aback by the question, and the goodwill she had just built up towards Yang Qiqi vanished. "What an impolite wild girl!"
Whether I like Shen Xu or not seems to be none of your business.
"There is still a connection. Senior Brother Shen has always treated me like a younger sister, and the cultivation methods that Senior Brother Shen and I practice are from the same lineage, both directly passed down by our ancestor. I think I should be qualified to make an accurate judgment about my future sister-in-law."
Hearing this, Song Qi and Jiang Yun were also a little confused. They both thought that Yang Qiqi liked Shen Xu. Could it be that it was just a younger sister liking her older brother?
"Who...who wants to be your sister-in-law!" Bai Lu immediately blushed and protested.
"So Sister Bai and Brother Shen are really just ordinary friends. I apologize for my rudeness to Sister Bai earlier," Yang Qiqi said, bowing in apology.
"This..." Bai Lu suddenly didn't know how to explain. She wanted to say that she and Shen Xu were not just ordinary friends, but if she said that, wouldn't that be admitting that she liked Shen Xu?
But if she could gain the girl's approval, wouldn't her relationship with Shen Xu be able to take another step forward...?
Moreover, she currently holds the upper hand. If Li Xiaoyi were to find out about the girl's existence, it would be uncertain who the girl would accept. She must make a good impression on the girl now.
"Actually, Shen Xu and I can't really be considered ordinary friends. After all, he's still staying at my place, but it's for some very complicated reasons. In short, it's not the kind of relationship you're imagining." By the end, Bai Lu was saying something that was hard to understand.
She now misses the time when Guanbi was by her side. No matter what happened, Guanbi could handle it for her very well. If Guanbi were here, the atmosphere would definitely not have become so awkward.
"Then I guess Sister Bai has feelings for Senior Brother Shen, but Senior Brother Shen hasn't noticed, right?" Yang Qiqi said with a smile.
"How could I possibly like someone like that!"
As soon as she finished speaking, Bai Lu regretted it. "Bai Lu, what are you saying? How could Shen Xu possibly be with you if you're like this?"
Thinking of this, she suddenly felt like crying.
"It seems that Senior Brother Shen is really lucky! He can actually make a girl like Sister Bai fall in love with him." Yang Qiqi couldn't help but sigh softly.
Bai Lu clenched her fists nervously this time, without offering any rebuttal.
"Sister Bai, Senior Brother Shen is indeed a bit slow and a very passive person. If you don't take the initiative, he will really ignore you completely. Don't wait until Senior Brother Shen is snatched away by someone else before you regret it."
