Chapter 56 Going up Qingyu (1)
Early in the next morning, Zhao Zimu took Lin Qing, Ling Er, Xiao Lianzi, Jia Yi and Jia Er to buy gifts and then went to Qingyu Mountain.
Qingyu Mountain was about thousand meters away. Zhao Zimu’s master lived in a manor half way the mountain. There was still a long way to go up the mountain.
This could be said to be Zhao Zimu’s sect. Although, she has never formally entered the sect, but the relationship between the two was deep. It wasn’t an exaggeration to say that it was her sect.
There weren’t many disciples at Qingyu sect. Each has their own temperament and liked to travel the world and rarely came back. She also didn’t know how many people would be present this year. Unless master ordered them, otherwise, there would only a few.
Sometimes, Zhao Zimu was also worried whether master would feel too deserted. He was already ninety-nine this year and still old but vigorous. He knew how to make himself happy to lengthen his natural life span and had never let anyone be worried about him.
Zhao Zimu took Lin Qing’s hand and walked step by step on the bluestone road up the mountain. His hand was long and distinct. If it wasn’t because it was slightly cold, it could even be said to be warm and moist like jade.
Zhao Zimu liked his hand very much. She took his hand and laughed, “I heard that the powerful eunuchs in the palace like to wear exquisite finger armor. Not only was it made from gold, on it was also pearls, jade and precious stones. They will wear it on three of their five fingers. Some also liked a ring on the thumb. They always had some rings that were lush green or other colors on their fingers. Why don’t you have anything on your fingers? Even if there were, sometimes I only had seen you wear an emerald ring. Why do you rarely like these things like other eunuchs?”
“You like those?” Lin Qing felt that his face was a bit hot. Perhaps, even Lin Qing didn’t notice that sometimes he blushed very easily in front of Zhao Zimu. Naturally, Zhao Zimu had noticed, but she wouldn’t say it because this man was too cute and he was only like that around her. He was still that insidious and cunning Jiu Qiansui in front of others.
“Don’t like, but I want to see you wear them and do…” Zhao Zimu also couldn’t tell what to do, but she liked it very much. She took his hand and kissed his fingertips. Then, she said, “I just want to do this.”
This time, Lin Qing’s face didn’t redden. He only felt that his heart was very happy. He said, “If you like it, then I will wear them to show you.”
Zhao Zimu added, “You are forbidden to show others, only show me.”
After talking, Zhao Zimu was stunned. When had she become so bothering? Sure enough, if one liked someone, it would make people change.
Lin Qing looked once at her and then gently nodded. Zhao Zimu’s heart skipped a beat. The charm and tenderness from that gaze made her eyes become somewhat moved.
Lin Qing continued to walk forward with a serious face. Unexpectedly, the person beside him stopped. He turned around and looked puzzled at her. Zhao Zimu grabbed his neck, pulled his head down and whispered in his ear, “Prefer to watch you put on noble and gorgeous clothes and then stripe you off them piece by piece or mess them up while you are wearing them.”
Lin Qing’s body quivered and was almost unable to stand. He felt a bit ashamed about the feeling of his legs turning soft. Suddenly, a desire was born in his heart, making his whole body feel wrong. He knew that the reason was because what she did to hm that night in the carriage. From then one, he had become a bit strange.
It was like he was caught by an addictive drug. He longed for her touch, touching him everywhere.
Lin Qing’s breathing was unstable. Zhao Zimu glanced sternly at the people behind them. The few people immediately turned around wittily. Even Ling Er who was a bit slow started to be obedient and immediately turned around.
Zhao Zimu went forward and hugged him. She wrapped her hand around his waist.
Lin Qing put his head on her shoulder and said against her ear, “What have you done to me?”
“Love you.”
Was it just because of love? Lin Qing didn’t believe it. He knew that this person who looked lonely and cold was not simple. Perhaps, she gave him love, but she cunningly instilled a kind of poison in her love called desire.
She was craftier than him. Not only did she poison him and it was a poison that only she could detoxify, but he was happy to endure it.
Moreover, it seemed that it was he who had provoked this flower with many petals. Originally, she was dismissive of his provocation. He didn’t know when she had begun to notice him and was willing to bloom for him. Her love came baffling, but he was willing to believe her without regrets.
After slowly calming down, Zhao Zimu hooked his hand and led him to the small road. The few people behind them heard the footsteps and immediately followed.
It didn’t take long for the group of people to arrive to a piece of land. A lot of green things were planted there. There were vegetable and some unknown plants. An old man was busy on the field. Although, his hair was white, but his movements were very flexible. When he saw Zhao Zimu and the others, he smiled.
Zhao Zimu also smiled. She took Lin Qing’s hand and carefully avoided the plants planted by the old mand. She walked up to him and respectfully and intimately said, “Master.”
Qingyu’s master nodded while Lin Qing looked at Zhao Zimu. Zhao Zimu nodded slightly to him. Lin Qing also understood what she meant.
This old man who looked like an old farmer is the master of Qingyu sect. However, the old man in front of him didn’t look ninety-nine. He had a childlike face and vigorous spirit. If one said that he was in his seventies, one may believe it.
The old man was wearing an ordinary brown robe and a piece of gray trousers underneath. It was no different from the ordinary farmers who worked in the field. He smiled affectionately at Zhao Zimu and said, “Girl, you’ve returned.”
Zhao Zimu also smile. She didn’t seem cold at all. She was so docile and well-behaved like an ordinary younger generation who said to the elder, “Zimu has returned. It is Zimu’s fault. Zimu should’ve come back more often to visit you.”
“Alright. Girl, why are you talking nonsense with me? Could I not know your personality? If you don’t roam outside, you will be uncomfortable!” As the old man spoke, he looked at Lin Qing, but he didn’t ask anything. He only nodded slightly at Lin Qing and continued to talk amiable with Zhao Zimu. While talking, he led them to the manor on the mountainside.
When the old man changed his clothes, Lin Qing was stunned because at this time, the old man’s long sleeves were fluttering and he as if he was an immortal who living for a very long time on the mountain. There was not even a shadow left of the old farmer in the field. Sure enough, he was not an ordinary person, Lin Qing thought secretly.
