The Glass Maiden

Chapter 69 Eve (1)

The hairpin conference is about to start in half a month. According to the usual practice, the chief figures of the five major factions will first go to Fuyu Island to draw lots for picking flowers. Chu Leifu's "women" and the five other elders besides Chu Yinghong were all ready to set off. Unexpectedly, Fuyu Island suddenly sent a letter in which the owner of the East Island informed that the flowers for this year's conference had already been picked. Therefore, there will be no defloration draw this time.

"It's not very common, but I don't know what the flowers that I have picked up look like." Chu Lei put down the letter paper and said in a deep voice. It is customary to inform everyone in advance of the flowers that you have picked, and to understand the "sex" of the demon, so that you can deal with it. Otherwise, the young disciple has no experience, even if it is a badly wounded monster, it is easy to cause "sex" worries due to stage fright.

He Danping smiled and said, "Big Brother, why worry, let's go to the island a few days earlier, it will be clear."

Several other elders also echoed and said yes. Chu Lei said in a deep "No, this is not what I am worried about. A lot of things have happened in the past few years, and people will inevitably become suspicious... Maybe I really thought about it."

He thought for a while, and then said: "Let’s do this, Yinghong, Heyang, you two will go with my husband and wife to watch the hairpin conference, and the rest will stay in Shaoyang. Don’t bring too many disciples to watch the battle, everyone. Stay here and be more alert. I will leave Hongluan behind and let it deliver the letter as soon as possible."

He Yang froze for a moment, and immediately understood, and said softly: "Is the boss worried that those demons would take the opportunity to make "chaos"?"

Chu Lei nodded: "Yes, that Wutong is very rampant, and asked a few juniors to come over and tell them, how can I open the convenient door and let them take the opportunity to make trouble? Besides, the Xuanyuan faction surrendered to them... I think something big will happen in the near future."

As he was talking, a disciple suddenly informed that Xuanji and the others were coming. All these children packed up their things and were full of ambitions. They were about to set off with the army to go to Fuyu Island. When Chu Lei said that there was no need to pick flowers, all of them were a little startled.

"There won't be a hairpin conference this year, right?" Linglong couldn't bear it the most. She hoped that the conference would end soon, so everyone can go to Zhoushan to save people.

Chu Lei glared at her: "Nonsense! Why not? Let's set off in two days. Your sister will also participate this year. You will also work hard to practice and try to participate next time."

Yi Linglong's previous temperament, she failed to participate in this kind of event, she was about to jump up early, she just froze for a while, and said casually: "This is not important. The conference ends early, let's leave early."

Chu Lei knew that she was talking about Zhong Minyan's matters more importantly, and couldn't help feeling sad. In this hairpin conference, Wutong will inevitably make trouble. I wonder if Zhong Minyan will be included. If he really wants to deal with him as an enemy, who can do it? Thinking that this child was brought up by oneself, the naughty and lively appearance when he was a child, chasing after him and calling him Master Shimao, he was so greedy that he could just put everything in his mouth. He grew up in the blink of an eye, and when the child was older, he had his own ideas, and the adults could no longer control him. No matter what his reason for doing this, I am willing to give him a chance and listen to him.

Since there is no need to go to Fuyu Island so early, Xuanji and the others have to go back. Liu Yihuan continued to lie on the bed, remembering all the past, and Tingnu continued to be entangled by the snake to question Wuqi's deeds. Linglong grabbed Xuanji's hand and asked her about all the things that had happened over the past six months. Seeing that they had encountered so many fun and thrilling things, Linglong was even more bitter with hatred, and even said: "How great would it be for me too! For nothing! I wasted this year of going down the mountain!" Her hatred of Wutong deepened, and she wished to cut off his left leg and install a wooden prosthetic leg.

At that time, it had entered the end of October, and the autumn wind was rustling, and the Shaoyang faction felt the chill early on the top of the mountain. One night passed, the ground was covered with hoarfrost, and the vegetation was all withered. Over the past few days, it looked like it was going to snow. He Danping saw that Yu Sifeng was wearing thin clothes and felt distressed. He measured his size and asked the tailor under the mountain to make some thick clothes.

As the saying goes, the mother-in-law sees her son-in-law, the more she sees her, the happier she becomes. Although Xuanji and him had no matchmaker's words and rituals, the cultivator did not have so many rules, she and Chu Lei had already decided in their hearts that the two children would be together in the future. There is only one who is worried, he doesn't seem to be a person from Ze Palace now. Xuanji said vaguely about his leaving Lize Palace, probably because someone in the same door had defected, stabbed him and made him frustrated, so he left the division.

In the hearts of the elders, a person must have a destination, otherwise, how will his daughter marry him? Xuanji is again a eldest lady who is used to clothes to stretch out her hands and eat to open her mouth. In the future, her parents will not be in front of her. She will inevitably endure hardships for a living, like Yu Sifeng. Her woman’s family thought a lot, and she wondered if he was no longer a member of the Shaoyang School, so he simply went to the Shaoyang School, and Chu Lei accepted him as a direct disciple. He is also capable and is rare among young disciples. If you give it to him, don't worry.

She told Chu Lei about this idea, thinking that he would give it a full promise, but Chu Lei pondered for a long time before saying: "The children are older and have their own decisions. See Xuanji's own meaning, they can't. Live on the protection of your parents for a lifetime."

"Then they don't have a fixed place, Xuanji will follow him in the future?" He Danping was puzzled.

Chu Lei smiled and said, "It's hard to talk about suffering. I don't think Sifeng's child is a mediocre person. It's not that we are arrogant. Xuanji may still climb others. Besides, if you want people to worship the entrance, it is completely wishful thinking. An old man can’t be annoying when he gets old. Children and grandchildren have their own children and grandchildren, so why bother with me too much."

He Danping sighed: "How can it be so easy to say that you don't "future" your heart. In the heart of a mother, they are always children."

Chu Lei smiled and held her hand, and said softly: "Are you afraid that the children will grow up and fly away, and you will be alone?"

He Danping has been a husband and wife for so many years, and the relationship has always been stable. In private, Chu Lei is not as rigid and serious as when he was outside. In front of her, he was still like a teenager, occasionally making jokes. Her "sex" son is still shy, her face flushed, and she said softly: "What you say, how can you be alone."

Chu Lei smiled and said: "Yes, I have an old man with you. Let's make do with the two old people."

He Danping gave a light sip, and he resolved the lump in his heart, and decided to go with the children.

Xuanji went to play with Yu Sifeng this day, and saw that he was wearing new clothes, his style was very beautiful, she couldn't help but enviously went up to "touch", and smiled: "My mother made it for you, right? She is so kind to you. Linglong and I don’t have new clothes yet!"

Originally, Yu Sifeng had accepted the affection of his elders, and he was a little worried. It was even more embarrassing to be said by her. He also didn't expect Chu Leifu's "women" to treat himself as an outsider, so close. The elders he met since childhood were not as dignified as his master, but Liu Yihuan was a rascal, who had hardly experienced the care and love of female elders. For a while, he was moved and frightened, not knowing what to say.

Xuanji scratched his face and chuckled, "Ah, blushing again! Are you shy? Si Feng sometimes looks like a girl!"

Yu Sifeng glared at her, "So much nonsense early in the morning."

Xuanji sat next to him, playing with the tassels on his saber, and suddenly thought of something, and asked: "By the way, Si Feng, last time you seemed to say that you were going to participate in the hairpin conference? Now you are not from the palace. Now, do you still want to attend the conference?"

Yu Sifeng shook his head: "I won't participate. If I don't want to accompany you, I don't even want to go to Fuyu Island."

"Yes..." Xuanji suddenly thought that going to Fuyu Island this time, she would definitely collide with people from Lize Palace, and there would be an embarrassment. If you let them know that Yu Sifeng left the school for her own sake, she would be scolded miserably, and maybe they would send Yu Sifeng back...no! She can't just watch this happen!

"Sifeng, don't go. Stay here. I promise to lose to the opponent in the first game, and then I will come back to accompany you immediately."

Yu Sifeng said indifferently: "No, I will be with me too. Things must come to an end."

"but……"

"You don't need to worry about it." He smiled faintly, and there was a faint taste of determination in his smile, "This time I must make a break."

After that, he raised his hand and stroked Xuanji's blank face, and said softly: "How do you say, I am also a man. There is no reason to hide behind a woman."

What happened to hiding behind her? She is very happy, others want to hide, she is too lazy to cover it! However, she has heard people say about the issue of men's self-esteem. Sometimes, their self-esteem is the first priority. They are more fragile than glazed gems and cannot be hurt, otherwise the consequences will be serious.

Xuanji stared at Yu Sifeng blankly, and wondered whether it was related to his "self-esteem". If so, then she would have to be a "good woman" only once to fulfill his dignity.

So she nodded obediently, in exchange for a big, satisfied hug from Yu Sifeng.
