Chapter 160 Xie Yunqiong
Xie Mingce put Qin Shuxue on the bed and drew the thick curtains to prevent her from waking up and being frightened. He picked up the bucket and went to the well on the other side of the village to fetch water, not forgetting to lock the door before leaving.
Ju Jifeng had a strong control over magic, and Qin Shuxue woke up during the interval of fetching water. She was a little confused for a moment, not knowing where she was, and then she felt pain in the wound on her body. She raised her hand and touched it. Although it was no longer bleeding, she could feel the flesh exposed. She was shocked, and her first reaction was to find a mirror to take a look and pull open the curtain.
She had never seen this place before. The house was very low and the furniture inside was very old. The main thing was that this house only had a small stove for cooking, which she had not seen in many years. Unlike the Chongyun Sect, the canteen was different from other places.
There was no mirror in the room. Qin Shuxue got out of bed in a daze and walked to the door. The door was locked tightly. She didn't know what this meant. Was she imprisoned? But she should have died on the competition stage. She couldn't figure it out no matter how hard she tried. She tried to look out through the crack in the door and saw a small yard. She could probably wash clothes in the yard. There was a large wooden basin. There was nothing else.
Qin Shuxue looked around and found that there was no food or water here either. She couldn't help but panic. She tried and found that her spiritual power was still working. She immediately hit the lock on the door. This lock was not a sophisticated mechanism. It was just a latch. She didn't want to destroy it, but just wanted to make the latch slide open. However, even this was not easy. While she was fiddling with it, she saw someone coming in from outside the door.
Qin Shuxue didn't know if he was here to silence her. She looked around in panic. The room was too small and there was no place to hide. There was a curtain on the bed, but she couldn't hide in the bed. Qin Shuxue had no choice but to hide behind the door, planning to hit the man as soon as he came in.
However, Qin Shuxue had too little life experience - the door was not pushed inward, but pulled outward. She was not hiding beside it, but was completely exposed to the man's sight. Fortunately, she had been staring at the door and recognized the man outside: "Xie Senior Brother!"
Xie Mingce picked up the water and went into the house again. He hummed and didn't seem to want to explain to Qin Shuxue. But since they were from Chongyun Sect, she should be safe. Qin Shuxue felt relieved. She hurried over to help, but Xie Mingce waved his hand to fend her off: "You go and rest, I'll do it."
"Brother Xie, what's going on?" Qin Shuxue had no intention of resting and asked while standing aside.
Xie Mingce didn't seem to be very good at telling stories. He was silent for a long time before briefly summarizing it to Qin Shuxue: "If you die, it will be very troublesome... but if you don't die, it will also be very troublesome... so you have to live, and live with another identity, and don't use the formation in front of others in the future."
Although Xie Mingce's words were incoherent, Qin Shuxue understood after a brief thought that it was her use of the formation that caused the trouble, and Liuli Palace used this as an excuse to threaten Chongyun Sect. Ju Jifeng must have encountered something very difficult, so she had to live in this way. She smiled bitterly: "But with this face of mine, don't you all recognize me?"
Xie Mingce shook his head: "That's how it was, but I've only brought you here for a few hours, and I feel your face is slowly changing... It must be the ability of Sect Leader Ju."
Qin Shuxue went to the bucket and took a look at herself. Although it was not very clear, the figure in the photo shocked her - wasn't this her face before she traveled through time? Could it be that the body of Qin Shuxue really had died in the competition, and now Ju Jifeng was desperately trying to save her original self? She was just an ordinary person, so didn't she have to start all over again?
Damn it, I'm so annoyed. If this is the case, I might as well stop practicing and start my life over again. Just be an ordinary person and avoid so many bad things.
Qin Shuxue couldn't help much either, and sat down on the bed in a self-destructive manner. She just wanted to have a good sleep and hope that she would not feel any pain when she woke up. However, Xie Mingce filled the water tank and said to Qin Shuxue, "Your story may not be exposed, so Master Ju asked me to be your master. You still need to study hard. Master Ju has been very good to you, don't forget his kindness."
Qin Shuxue had known for a long time that this person valued kindness more than anything else. If Ju Jifeng hadn't been such a good person, I'm afraid his insistence on justice would have long been blind loyalty. Qin Shuxue really couldn't refute it. If it weren't for Ju Jifeng, she might have died from the inside out. And now that Chongyun Sect was in danger, she couldn't just stand by and watch.
She sighed, "I see. Master, when do we start?"
Xie Mingce kept working and said, "No rush. Take care of yourself first. I have saved some money from doing missions over the years. You should take care of yourself first and then we can start. But since you need a fake identity, it's better to use a fake name."
"I'm not as educated as my parents..." Qin Shuxue leaned against the bed post decadently, feeling as if she was going to abandon her own name.
Xie Mingce didn't say anything. He didn't know how to reply. And to be honest, there was only one bed in this small room. Wouldn't it be inconvenient for a grown man like him to be with Qin Shuxue? Although Qin Shuxue was so old, he definitely wouldn't have any improper thoughts, but there was no guarantee that Qin Shuxue would mind.
Qin Shuxue couldn't think of a name at all. She herself was called Qin Shuxue. Why would she change her name? She said in despair, "Master, you can give me one. I don't have the ability to do that."
It was easy to call him "Master". Xie Mingce had never accepted a disciple before, so he was a little uncomfortable with calling him that. He was talking about himself, but he had studied in a private school. In that era, as long as you studied, you would be trained from a young age. He was more educated than Qin Shuxue, the useless college student. After a little thought, he said, "Xue, there is also a name for broken jade. Otherwise, you can call yourself Qiong, and add another word to call yourself Yunqiong."
This was a bit too cultured. Qin Shuxue had no objection and nodded in agreement: "Then I'll call you Xie Yunqiong. As soon as you hear it, you'll know that you're Master's apprentice."
It doesn't sound like a master and apprentice relationship, but more like a father and daughter...
Xie Mingce didn't say that men of his age should get married. He was devoted to cultivating in Chongyun Sect and had never thought about this matter. It was a bit inconvenient to take care of the family without a woman, and he had already felt it deeply.
