Chapter 133: He Didn’t Accept It
It was noon. They found a place to catch their breath and eat lunch.
Lin Qingyue was beside Ye Jingxian as usual. Seeing such an amusing scene, he immediately addressed him. Bai Dou was in Ye Jingxian’s arms as always.
He didn’t notice anything wrong, but Ye Jingxian was in an exceptionally good mood. Xiao Shidi liked him too; he just didn’t recognize his own heart correctly.
Thinking of the past, a smile floated onto Ye Jingxian’s lips, and the look he gave Yu Qianqian was no longer like before.
Afraid he wouldn’t understand, Lin Qingyue leaned close to his Da Shixiong, speaking softly.
As he spoke, Ye Jingxian listened while feeding Bai Dou, a smile on his lips, talking gently with him.
After Lin Qingyue finished speaking, the gaze of the person beside him was too fervent. His body stiffened. Crap. Habit made me forget that our relationship recently isn’t that pure.
Somewhat annoyed, he wanted to say something to explain but couldn’t articulate it. Lin Qingyue feigned a calm face and patted Bai Dou’s head. Seeing it so happy, he snatched the spirit fruit in front of it.
Bai Dou’s delicate brows furrowed. It immediately looked at Ye Jingxian, pointing at Lin Qingyue and jabbering a complaint.
Ye Jingxian just smiled. “Xiao Shidi is just curious and wants to see your spirit fruit. Bai Dou, let him see.”
After speaking, he said helplessly and gently to Lin Qingyue, “Xiao Shidi, Bai Dou is really angry; you have to coax it again.”
Lin Qingyue: “Da Shixiong, don’t you think the joy of raising Bai Dou is to tease it?”
For such a cute little guy, keeping oneself from accidentally squashing it to death really required self-control.
Lin Qingyue smiled and pulled Bai Dou over, tapping its forehead. “Bai Dou, tell me, who do you like best, me or Da Shixiong?”
Bai Dou covered its forehead, looking at him with innocent, naive eyes, and hugged him. Lin Qingyue chuckled lightly, the smile on his face obvious.
Bai Dou hugged him, then turned around and performed the same operation on Ye Jingxian.
He thought he was the person Bai Dou liked best, but it turned out it held the bowl of water level (treated everyone equally). Lin Qingyue found it funny. “Didn’t expect you to be this kind of Bai Dou.”
While things were heartwarming on their side, Yu Qianqian was discussing saber techniques with Yuan An, having a pleasant exchange. Li Jing came over and insisted on joining in. Yu Qianqian felt he was doing it on purpose.
Whether he understood or not, he insisted on saying a few words. Just when the conversation was wrapping up and she was about to ask Yuan An about his family, Li Jing came, and Yuan An swallowed his words back.
Yu Qianqian glared at Li Jing, gritting her teeth. “Don’t you need to rest?”
Between Ye Jingxian and Yu Qianqian, Li Jing naturally chose to talk to Yu Qianqian’s group. “I finished eating; I don’t need rest.”
Forget it, forget it. They say accepting favors ties your hands. He was just an unlucky guy suffering from unrequited love; she would tolerate him this once.
“What were you talking about just now? I seemed to hear about using heavenly treasures to temper blades. Do the magical artifacts of you sword and saber cultivators consume materials like that?”
Since he asked this, Lin Qingyue had the most to say. He didn’t know about others, but his sword was simply a gold-swallowing beast. All the income from those several small peaks back then had been smashed into his sword.
“Sigh!” Lin Qingyue let out a long sigh. “Young Sect Master Li, you can’t comprehend troubles like ours. The consumption isn’t just a little bit.”
Yu Qianqian nodded. “Senior Brother Lin is right. If you want the sword to be better, naturally you have to cherish it properly.”
Speaking of this, Yu Qianqian said, “Otherwise, why did I want the Jiuban Mian back then? I just wanted to trade it with my dad for other good things.”
When she mentioned Jiuban Mian, the light in Li Jing’s eyes scattered significantly. He lowered his head and said, “Back then, it wasn’t that I didn’t want to trade the Jiuban Mian with you. Those were only enough for Xiao Shishu to treat his illness.”
The Golden Cicada Bow, Luo Wuhen—his reputation was resounding, his cultivation talent very high, and his future limitless. But due to his cultivation method, his body endured bone-eroding pain year-round. The Jiuban Mian Li Jing had painstakingly obtained could make the fire in his body go dormant.
He didn’t know why there was fire in his Xiao Shishu‘s body eroding him; he just wanted him to be safe.
Hearing him mention the use of Jiuban Mian, Yu Qianqian was silent for a moment. “Then your Xiao Shishu is fine now?”
Li Jing smiled bitterly. “No. He didn’t accept it.”
When speaking, both his heart and mouth were bitter. “I… when I gave the Jiuban Mian, I couldn’t control my feelings for Xiao Shishu. Afraid he would feel burdened, I said I did it voluntarily—voluntarily sought the Jiuban Mian for him, voluntarily gave it. I said I liked him and didn’t want him to feel burdened, just wanted him to accept the Jiuban Mian so he could get better.”
But he didn’t accept the Jiuban Mian. Even the look in his eyes changed.
That was a strange look Li Jing had never seen before. Luo Wuhen returned the Jiuban Mian to him, telling him he only regarded him as a child, as a junior.
He never had any other thoughts. If he had caused a misunderstanding, he was willing to go into seclusion, not coming out until Li Jing married and had children.
He truly left him no chance at all. Li Jing’s eyes grew wet; he was very heartbroken.
“I just wanted Xiao Shishu to accept the Jiuban Mian. Why did he have to do that? Just to reject me, he disregards even his own body?”
He didn’t understand, looking at Lin Qingyue and the others with red eyes.
Lin Qingyue and Yu Qianqian were stunned by the story. Ye Jingxian frowned on the side, constantly observing Lin Qingyue’s expression.
Yu Qianqian: “Is there a possibility that your Xiao Shishu felt you were making an exchange with him? Or rather, that you were setting conditions: accepting your Jiuban Mian meant agreeing to be with you.”
So, to avoid owing this favor and accepting feelings he deemed incorrect, he would rather continue being in pain.
Yu Qianqian’s analysis stunned Li Jing. This was something he had never thought of.
“You mean, Xiao Shishu didn’t want to owe me and felt this relationship couldn’t see the light of day?” Li Jing muttered to himself.
“Although cultivators don’t care much about these things… do you think your relationship is very shameful?” Yu Qianqian asked curiously.
Seeing Li Jing was about to crumble, Lin Qingyue gently tugged at her clothes. Even if it’s the honest truth, you can’t say it like that.
In Lin Qingyue’s view, this really wasn’t a big deal. Isn’t it just a Xiao Shishu? They aren’t related by blood; why wouldn’t it work?
Although he didn’t speak, the expression he showed indeed held no shock or disdain; instead, it was very calm.
Ye Jingxian, whose gaze had been falling on him, finally let his suspended heart settle completely. Xiao Shidi wasn’t disgusted, didn’t detest it, and didn’t find it strange. This meant that in his view, these things were permissible, even acceptable.
Seeing this clearly, Ye Jingxian’s look toward Lin Qingyue changed once again.
After listening to the gossip, Lin Qingyue sighed slightly. Look how hurtful this thing called love is.
“So how did you end up running away from the sect? Just because Luo Wuhen doesn’t like you?”
