"It doesn't matter. I don't have much desire for food. I just want to fill my stomach. Aunt Li doesn't need to worry about it."
Qin Xiu said calmly.
The last bit of residual light pours down, imbuing the young man in white with layers of halo. His clean and slender silhouette makes people feel in a trance, wondering what kind of girl can enter this person's heart.
This episode ended with the Westerners headed by Qin Xiu sitting around the dinner table. Because Qin Xiu had previously invited Jiu Jianxian to the inn for a drink, Li Furong, after hearing that Li Xiaoyao and Li Xiaoyao came back to deliver the message, I cooked a few more dishes than before. However, when my benefactor came back, he said that the man was not coming. Apart from feeling sorry that he had spent so much effort cooking, he felt nothing at all. He just kept cooking at the dinner table. When he put vegetables into Qin Xiu's bowl, he didn't care. When Li Xiaoyao looked at the outstanding food in the master's bowl, he couldn't bear to say:
"Aunt, that's it. Don't put it in anymore. Look, my master's bowl is still full. I don't even know how to eat it anymore."
Wang Xiaohu, who was happily pulling rice at the side, could not help but nod in agreement when he saw this scene.
Li Furong looked at the bowl of her masterpiece and was startled. She cursed herself secretly for not using restraint. She looked at her benefactor as if he didn't even move his chopsticks. She immediately got up and wanted to get the bowl again.
"Aunt Li, it's okay."
Qin Xiu said warmly;
"No need to bother, just leave it like that. It's okay, just don't pick up food for me."
Qin Xiu is not a heartless person. He still saved the lives of Li Furong and Li Furong without any intention of repaying her. But now it seems that she is a person who knows how to repay her kindness and sincerely expresses her gratitude to her. Okay, I’m not saying anything, just let her go.
It was a peaceful meal.
Afterwards, Qin Xiu called Li Xiaoyao to his room and asked him where the water spirit bead was.
It was midsummer at this time. Yuhang Town is located in the south, and it is even hotter in summer. The location of Yunlaiyunqu Inn is excellent. Behind the inn is a mirror lake, and the evening wind blows through it, causing ripples on the lake surface. Entering the room with a hint of coolness.
"Clang, clang, clang!"
Li Xiaoyao knocked on Qin Xiu's door, and not long after, a soft voice came from inside the room.
"come in."
The latter pushed the door gently, and after entering, he closed the door smoothly, then stepped forward and handed the things Qin Xiu had asked him to buy while eating, with both hands, to Qin Xiu. This action was all very polite.
It was a box, a square huanghuali wood box.
Qin Xiu took it, raised his eyes, and looked at Li Xiaoyao with a cold and calm expression.
It happened that the latter also raised his head and looked to the west. The dark eyes of the person opposite him were like a black hole. It seemed smooth and calm, but as long as he was pulled in, he would fall into the endless abyss and sink into the darkness forever. in, unable to climb out.
Li Xiaoyao lowered his head suddenly, not daring to look into Qin Xiu's eyes anymore, and stood respectfully, waiting for the other party's instructions.
After a long time, a gentle voice sounded.
"Well done, here's your errand fee."
As soon as he finished speaking, Li Xiaoyao saw something being thrown towards him out of the corner of his eye, and subconsciously reached out to catch it. It turned out to be an indigo silver coin!
"Master, this is impossible. This box is not worth so much money. Besides, I can't ask for your money!"
As he said that, Qin Xiu looked at Li Xiaoyao and quickly waved his hand to him, then put the money on the table next to him.
Qin Xiu was not in a hurry to get it back, but took a leisurely sip of tea and said slowly:
"You run for me, you deserve it."
Li Xiaoyao thought to himself that although what he said was correct, he didn't do this favor willingly just for the money. He gritted his teeth and rarely showed a tough attitude in front of Qin Xiu.
"This is inappropriate, Master!"
"The disciples will not accept it!"
After the words fell, the room returned to the same silence as when no one was around. Qin Xiu didn't make a sound, and Li Xiaoyao didn't even dare to make a sound. He thought that he could hear a thin needle drop to the ground at this time.
A moment.
"There must be a reason why you don't accept it."
Qin Xiu's tone sounded like he knew something;
Li Xiaoyao was speechless. How should I say this? What's the reason? Even he himself didn't know, but the master asked again how he should say it.
While meditating and worrying, an idea flashed across his face, and Li Xiaoyao said to his master, with excitement in his tone.
"explain."
Qin Xiu signaled.
"If I tell you the reason, master, can you consider the disciple's request?"
Li Xiaoyao's words were full of temptation, his eyes were shining brightly, and he addressed Qin Xiudao;
The latter raised his lazy eyelids, looked at the person standing in front of him for a moment, and said slowly:
"What to consider?"
Li Xiaoyao said with a smile on his face: "Oh, you will know when the disciple tells me, but master, you have to tell me first if you can agree to my request?"
Li Xiaoyao also knew that he was shameless and pushed too far, but he really wanted to become Qin Xiu's master, learn skills, become someone like Master Qin Xiu, and become a peerless master!
Just when he had begun to fantasize about becoming Qin Xiu's apprentice, learning all kinds of kung fu, and slaying demons, cold and emotionless words came to his ears, and his heart suddenly went cold.
Just listen to his 'master' say: "Since you don't want the money, forget it. If nothing happens, you can go out."
"boom!"
A bolt from the blue, Li Xiaoyao felt like he was going out for a walk on a sunny day, but suddenly there were dark clouds, and a big thunder struck! ’ It struck him down, and then the rain poured down. Unfortunately, he was the only one who was so unlucky.
"Master...master."
Li Xiaoyao stuttered a little.
"I am not your master."
The latter showed no mercy at all and inserted a poisonous arrow into Li Xiaoyao's chest.
"Master, listen to me..."
Li Xiaoyao panicked and walked towards Qin Xiu, two steps at a time.
"Master, I was wrong. I don't dare to be petty anymore. I will never do it again."
Qin Xiu calmly looked at Li Xiaoyao's cold sweat and panic. In fact, he knew in his heart what Li Xiaoyao wanted. He was just trying a little trick to make him more urgent. What a joke. , we need to act more realistically.
No matter how Li Xiaoyao apologized or explained, Qin Xiu didn't look at him and didn't bother to talk to him. Now Li Xiaoyao was like an ant on a hot pot.
But when he really didn't know what to do, Qin Xiu actually spoke.
"Okay, I know what your reason is."
"Have you thought clearly about wanting to become your master?"
Qin Xiu sat on the stool, expressionlessly looking at Li Xiaoyao, who was getting smaller and smaller, as if he was slumped.
The latter was stunned for a moment, shocked.
