Chapter 228 The Past 3
Qing Yuan’s 200th birthday.
As the most favored junior sister in Lingxiao Palace, everyone is preparing for her birthday.
Even the master Chen Wuhen, who had always been out of sight, and Qingrou, who had been traveling for many years, came back.
But this time she was not alone, she also brought back a man in black.
"Junior Sister Qingrou, who is this?" Di Chen saw someone coming in and stepped forward to ask.
Ying Lian took a step forward and bowed, "I'm Ying Lian, Rou'er's good brother."
When Qingrou heard him call her like that, a hint of loneliness flashed across her eyes, but she hid it well.
She took two steps forward and grabbed Di Chen's hand, "Big Brother, where is Junior Sister? I've heard that she's quirky and cute. Take me to see her."
Di Chen looked around and finally found Qing Yuan who was stealing the gifts on the table in the corner.
He strode over and lifted Qing Yuan up by the collar, "You're cheating again!"
Qing Yuan yelled twice, turned around and saw that it was the eldest senior brother, smiled awkwardly, "Elder senior brother, these things must be eaten while hot, otherwise they will not taste good when they are cold."
"Do we have to eat this pastry while it's hot?"
"Uh, hehehe, it tastes better when it's freshly made."
"You, you." Di Chen looked disappointed, but today was her birthday, so he couldn't say anything more.
On the other end, Qingrou watched this scene and said with a smile, "Junior Sister is really clever and eccentric."
Seeing Di Chen leading people over, she walked forward with Ying Lian.
But she stopped halfway.
Only now did she see Qing Yuan's face clearly.
"Isn't this the girl whose purse was stolen that day in the mortal world?" Ying Lian said with a hint of surprise in her eyes.
Qingrou saw all of this and her right hand couldn't help but clench the sword tightly.
As he spoke, Di Chen had already approached with Qing Yuan.
Just as she was about to introduce the two parties, Qing Yuan ran to Qing Rou and shouted happily, "Sister Rou Er, why is it you?"
"You two know each other?" Di Chen was surprised.
He gently and unnoticeably pulled out his held arm and briefly recounted what had happened in the mortal world.
"It seems that you and Little Junior Sister are really destined to be together. You two can meet each other in such a vast sea of people."
"Yes, yes. If it weren't for Sister Rouer, I would probably be hungry again." Qing Yuan said happily, completely unaware of Qingrou's strange emotion.
Di Chen patted her forehead lightly, "You, when will you be able to focus on cultivation?"
Qing Yuan covered her forehead and pouted, "Big Brother, today is my birthday!"
"Okay, okay, let's talk about it tomorrow."
Looking at the harmonious atmosphere between the two, Qingrou felt a sense of emptiness in her heart.
It was as if everything I had enjoyed for many years was suddenly taken away by someone else.
"Hahaha, they are all here?" Chen Wuhen's laughter came from not far away.
“Master, Master!” Qing Yuan flew towards Chen Wuhen and saluted playfully, “Master, you are willing to go back. I thought you had forgotten all your disciples!”
"You little rascal, you have grown up strong, aren't you afraid of being my teacher?"
"No, no, I'm still very happy that Master can come to my birthday party. But if Master can come back to see us more often, I'll be even happier!"
"You're the only one who can say it!" Chen Wuhen seemed serious, but he was actually very happy.
He immediately took out a magic weapon and gave it to Qing Yuan.
"What is this?" Qing Yuan asked, holding the lotus-shaped magic weapon.
"This is the Spiritual Spring Space that I found specifically for you. This magic weapon is the only one of its kind in this world. I heard that you have been unable to make any progress in your cultivation for nearly a hundred years. This magic weapon can help you improve your cultivation."
It was the first time Qing Yuan had seen such a powerful magic weapon. Her mouth opened wide. "Master, you left for so long just to find this for me!"
Chen Wuhen snorted with a hint of arrogance, "I was just looking for it for you while I was traveling."
Qing Yuan showed an expression that said "I understand" and bowed deeply, "Thank you, Master."
Qingrou, who was not far away, looked at the magic weapon in her hand and recalled that on her birthday, her master only gave her a sword from the sword tomb.
The sword was pitch black and had no sword spirit, it looked ordinary.
But the master said that everything she saw was just its appearance, and she had to use her heart to see its inner qualities.
As long as you take good care of it, its full appearance will eventually be revealed.
But the sword has remained like this for so many years, and she gradually lost her patience. She threw the sword into the storage bag and ignored it.
Now, the master actually found this spiritual spring space specifically for this little junior sister, just to help her improve her cultivation.
Comparing the two, she realized that her importance in her master's heart was truly insignificant.
Qing Yuan's birthday was held in a grand manner under the organization of his senior brothers.
Also, because Chen Wuhen rarely shows up, many immortals that Qing Yuan usually doesn't see sent him many gifts.
However, most of the items inside were elixirs and various magical instruments, and there were very few edible things.
Qing Yuan just took a quick look and lost interest.
After the banquet, Ying Lian suddenly found Chen Wuhen.
"Emperor Cangyuan, I wonder if Fairy Qingyuan has a companion."
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone around had different expressions and stopped talking.
Qingrou watched this scene, unable to hide the disappointment in her eyes.
"Not yet." Chen Wuhen continued, "Qing Yuan is still young. It won't be too late to talk about it a few thousand years later."
At this time, Qingrou calmed herself down, walked out from behind the crowd, came to Chen Wuhen, and said respectfully, "Master, I have a favor to ask of you."
Chen Wuhen smiled and said, "Tell me what it is."
Qingrou heard the words, knelt down gently, and said with a serious and determined look, "Master, I have no father or mother, and it was you who brought me back and raised me.
Now that I have a lover, I beg Master to make the decision for me."
"I thought it was something serious. Rou'er has grown up now. Your master will not interfere too much in your affairs. Tell me who you like."
Qingrou stood up straight and looked at Ying Lian with affection, "Brother Ying and I have known each other for several years, and we are very compatible with each other. I hope Master can help us."
Hearing this, the expressions of the people around changed again and again.
There were many experienced people present, and Ying Lian's actions just now clearly showed that he had intentions towards Qing Yuan.
This scene right now is very interesting.
Chen Wuhen's expression was unclear. He turned to look at Ying Lian, "My disciple likes you. Do you know that?"
Ying Lian changed her usual casual image, clasped her hands and answered seriously, "My Lord, I only regard Rou'er as a close friend and have never had any improper thoughts about her."
As these words came out, whispers gradually spread in the quiet place.
Qingrou looked at Ying Lian with a hurt expression, "Brother Ying, you..."
Ying Lian ignored Qingrou and bowed again without changing her expression. She looked at Chen Wuhen and said something shocking, "Emperor Cangyuan, now that you have said this, I also have something to tell you.
Ying Mou is attracted to Fairy Qing Yuan, and I hope the Emperor will grant my wish."
"What?" Qingrou stood up suddenly and looked at him in disbelief. "Brother Ying, are you serious? You and my junior sister have only met a few times, how can you say you like her?"
Ying Lian turned her head and looked directly at her, "Just a few days are enough. Since we parted that day, I have seen clearly what is in my heart.
Rou'er, I have no romantic feelings for you. If I have caused you to misunderstand, I apologize."
