Chapter 161 Responsibilities
Qin Shuxue thought it was quite funny. She would have to live with another name from now on. Apart from often forgetting to respond, it was generally acceptable.
The two of them were cleaning in the house. Qin Shuxue discovered that although Xie Mingce looked like a rough man, he was actually very thoughtful and could cook a little bit of everything. The food he cooked was not delicious, but much better than hers.
At night, seeing that Qin Shuxue had no idea, Xie Mingce simply rolled up his bedding, put a few stools together, and planned to sleep on them.
Qin Shuxue had been taken care of for a whole day, and felt embarrassed to let Xie Mingce suffer again, so she immediately said that she would go to sleep on the stool. Xie Mingce naturally refused seriously: "Your injury is not healed yet, don't make trouble. Be responsible for yourself!"
Oh my god, Qin Shuxue had never seen such a serious person who cared about others. Seeing that she couldn't get the better of him, she had to compromise and said, "How about this. The two of us can sleep on both sides, separated by a curtain. The main thing is that the conditions are like this. Master, you can't sleep on the stool every day, otherwise you won't be able to rest well."
Xie Mingce thought about it and realized that he did have a lot of work to do every day. If he didn't get enough rest, it would delay his work. He thought about it and felt that it was not right, but he reluctantly agreed to give it a try to see if it was feasible.
Finally, the two of them put a thick quilt in the middle of the bed. Xie Mingce said that if there was anything wrong, Qin Shuxue should call him and he would go down immediately.
In this way, Qin Shuxue and Xie Mingce lived a stumbling life.
Qin Shuxue didn't ask anything about her friends. She knew that Ju Jifeng wanted her to stop having so many contacts with those people. If she insisted, it would not be good for her. But she was inevitably worried about Yu Feiling, wondering if she could recover well; worried about Xie Zhiyi, wondering if she would still have to do chores without her; worried about Situ Xiayan, wondering how she would be targeted and embarrassed; worried... not worried about Heng Li, he would definitely come to her sooner or later, but she didn't know if he would recognize her; worried about Ying Yong, poor Ying Yong was played around by Jing Hanrou.
She lay there unable to sleep, and Xie Mingce was also awake. Seeing her tossing and turning, he asked, "Is it because I'm here that you can't sleep?"
Qin Shuxue quickly said no and stayed still. Xie Mingce is such a grown man, but he is still so sensitive...
Qin Shuxue's situation was settled, but Liuli Palace was not. As soon as Ju Jifeng dealt with the body of "Qin Shuxue", he took Heng Li and the others back.
In this way, the sect competition could not go on smoothly. Yan Liuli was waiting for Ju Jifeng to come back so that he could punish him. The journey was long, and several competitions had already been held in the Liuli Palace - but Ju Jifeng was not there, and those competitions were just formalities. It didn't matter who won or lost. When Ju Jifeng arrived at the Liuli Palace, six or seven games had already been played. Yan Xinhe, who had not played before, also defeated a strong opponent from Xuanyin Temple. And several unknown disciples of Xuanyin Temple were also shortlisted. Ju Jifeng didn't care about these. When he came, Yan Liuli stopped the game and prepared to humiliate him in public.
Ju Jifeng knew that Yan Liuli couldn't say anything nice when she opened her mouth, and stared at her for a long time, which made Yan Liuli a little scared - after all, she really wanted to do something, and she couldn't control her guilty conscience. She sorted out her mood and said in a timid manner: "Master Ju, how will you deal with the disciple who secretly learned the formation?"
"My disciple was seriously injured and died from excessive blood loss before I could punish her. I sent her away according to the rules. Since she cannot be punished, I will take the punishment for her."
To be honest, Hengli didn't know why Ju Jifeng was still trying to reason at this time. Even if he couldn't convince the crowd, it was better than getting hurt in vain.
Yan Liuli was waiting for this sentence. She immediately announced loudly to everyone, "Once a formation practitioner is discovered, no one can escape responsibility. Sect Leader Ju took the initiative to accept the punishment. He is truly a role model for the immortal world. After discussing with the sect leaders, I will give a reasonable punishment. Everyone, please be patient."
It seemed that not only would Ju Jifeng be punished, but he would also have to be punished in front of everyone. Heng Li couldn't help himself and rushed up to Yan Liuli and asked, "Master Yan, isn't this inappropriate? As the leader of a sect, I'm afraid it's not good for your reputation to do this."
It was rare for Heng Li to say something tactful, but Yan Liuli didn't appreciate it at all: "Youngsters, don't butt in. Xinhe - go and have a discussion with him. You two play against each other every year, so I'm sure you're looking forward to it this time. Go practice a few moves!"
Damn, Yan Liuli's direct disregard for him was the biggest humiliation to him. Heng Li was so angry that his nose was crooked, and he was dragged away by Yan Xinhe.
Yan Xinhe was about to say something to comfort him: "Heng Li, we should not get involved in the affairs between the heads of the sects. They will naturally make their own decisions..."
Heng Li was not familiar with her and did not want to talk to her: "You were the one who gave the secret letter to deal with Situ Xia Yan. You wanted to use it to confuse the public and weaken the strength of Chongyun Sect."
He didn't even have any doubts and said it so confidently. It seemed that he hated Yan Xinhe so much that he didn't even have the heart to play around with her.
Yan Xinhe would not use poor acting skills to cover up a fact. She still smiled decently: "I am confusing people? Just tell me whether I saved Situ Xiayan or not? Hengli, do you think that a matter has only black and white sides? Yan Liuli's plan is a plan, but mine is not? Letting Situ Xiayan die is not good for the cultivation world, of course I know that. I am not stopping it for Chongyun Sect, and I am not stopping it for Liuli Palace. Why are you so resentful? If it weren't for me, would you have been able to deal with it?"
Heng Li sneered: "It is precisely because of your secret letter that someone is waiting at the door to catch us doing something wrong. Yan Xinhe, you and Yan Liuli are really different. Yan Liuli knows that he is not a good person, but you are a complete hypocrite."
"If you can't even handle such a small matter, how can you be such an outstanding disciple in Chongyun Sect? Qin Shuxue is still young, but why don't you think as clearly as she does?" Yan Xinhe said and shook her head, "I used to think that only by defeating you can I prove that I am better than you, but now it seems... I don't need to do that at all."
"You talk nicely, but in reality you won't protect Situ Xiayan or Yan Liuli. Does Yan Liuli know that she gave birth to such a good daughter like you? She thought she was on the same page with you, but her daughter can abandon her at any time."
"What does this have to do with you? I haven't even touched your interests yet, but you're already starting to be intolerant of my behavior. Hengli, you'd better think it over and don't ruin a fair partner."
