The next day, Qin Feng woke up in the painful ordeal of being engulfed in intense flames.
After tempering the Literature Qi within his body, he got up and pushed open the window. Looking out, everything was covered in a vast expanse of white.
Suddenly, like a spring breeze overnight, thousands of pear trees blossomed.
The snow had indeed fallen, draping Jinyang City in a layer of white gauze.
In the corridor, Qing’er looked at the drifting snow in the sky, with a mix of excitement and worry on her face.
The last time the gray snow fell, the terrifying fever swept through the entire Qin Mansion.
No one knew if today’s snow would be like the last time.
Qin Feng, seeing her expression, guessed the reason and said, “Don’t worry, this snow is genuine.”
Hearing this, Qing’er cautiously reached out her hand, grabbing a floating snowflake. It felt cool to the touch, and she immediately revealed a smile, like a child.
Qin Feng glanced at the falling snow and suddenly extended his left hand, staring at it in a daze.He and Liu Jianli walked for a long time last night, holding hands tightly the whole time. The beautiful face and shy demeanor of the other party were vivid in his mind.
Even now, he seemed to feel the warmth and smoothness in the palm of his hand.
The feelings between the two deepened with each passing moment. Thinking of this, he couldn’t help but smile.
Returning to his senses, he looked up again.
Qin Feng’s smile slowly faded.
At some point, that girl Bai Qiu, had come to the window, staring at him intently. Her round cheeks were puffed up, resembling a steamed bun.
Lowering his gaze, she held a set of tea utensils in her hands, and steam was rising from the teapot.
Bai Qiu couldn’t possibly have made tea for him. It must have been brewed by Liu Jianli.
“What have you done to my Senior Sister?!” The lively girl gritted her teeth.
“What do you mean?” Qin Feng was puzzled.
“Stop pretending. Senior Sister Jianli’s hands are for holding swords. How can she, like an ordinary woman, make tea for someone else? Moreover, moreover—”
“And moreover what?” Qin Feng was curious.
Bai Qiu groaned and did not say anything further. This was the first time she saw her Senior Sister showing such an expression. When making tea, her face was blushing and the corners of her mouth were slightly raised.
A moment of youthful beauty made the world lose its color.
Back at the Myriad Swords Sect, Senior Sister used to be like a celestial being, always maintaining a calm and unperturbed demeanor no matter what happened.
However, in just a few months, that familiar Senior Sister had disappeared.
In her eyes, there was no longer just cultivation and swords; instead, there was something else.
There was tenderness, joy, and a warmth she had never experienced before.
It’s not that these changes are unwelcome; it’s just that the person causing these changes is not right.
Thinking this, Bai Qiu once again glared at Qin Feng. Why should this man be able to touch the heart of her Senior Sister?
Clearly, he’s just a weak scholar without any strength!
“Why do you have the expression of seeing a cockroach?” Qin Feng smirked, “Pass the tea cup over. My wife made it for me, right??”
“Wife?!” Bai Qiu exclaimed, “You’re not allowed to address my Senior Sister like that!”
Qin Feng chuckled, “Little girl, she is my lawfully wedded wife. Why can’t I call her my wife?”
Hearing this, Bai Qiu wanted to retort, but she couldn’t find a good reason. She puffed up her cheeks in frustration, resembling a pufferfish.
In fact, last night, Sister Ningshuang told her everything that has happened since her Senior Sister arrived here.
At the lowest point in Senior Sister’s life, this man in front of her provided companionship and pulled her out of the abyss.
Later, with superb medical skills, he healed Senior Sister’s damaged meridians.
In her heart, she had accepted this man.
Otherwise, she wouldn’t be here, serving tea for him on behalf of Senior Sister.
However, thinking that her admired Senior Sister was taken away by this man, she couldn’t stand him no matter how she looked at him.
“Pass the tea.” Qin Feng spoke again.
Even though Bai Qiu was unwilling in her heart, she had promised the Senior Sister to deliver the tea properly, so she couldn’t go back on her word.
Watching the hot tea pour into the cup and seeing the man in front of her sip it gently, Bai Qiu showed a look of envy. “Is the tea brewed by my Senior Sister tasty?”
Qin Feng glanced at her expression, smacked his lips, and sighed, “This tea should only be found in heaven. How many times can we taste it on earth?”
“Then, can you let me have a sip?” Bai Qiu swallowed her saliva and asked tentatively.
Qin Feng initially wanted to refuse, but seeing the expression of the little girl, he agreed.
Bai Qiu picked up another teacup, carefully took a sip, and the tea was rich with a lingering fragrance between her lips and teeth.
If not witnessed with her own eyes, it would be hard to believe that this was the tea brewed by Senior Sister Jianli.
The taste of this tea reminded her of the tea her mother brewed for her father.
Mother once said that only tea brewed with heart for a loved one could have such a mellow taste.
Bai Qiu thought of her mother, thought of Senior Sister Jianli. While brewing tea, the undisguised look of happiness on her face made her mutter to herself, “What does it feel like to like someone?”
Qin Feng, startled by her words, wondered why this girl suddenly asked such a question. After hesitating for a while, he spoke, “It’s impossible between us. You better give up early.”
Bai Qiu was momentarily stunned, then regained her composure, expressing embarrassment and indignation, “A stinky scholar like you wants me to like you? Dream on! The person I like, at the very least, must follow the divine martial tradition in cultivation, possess exceptional talent, and have a majestic presence. Someone like you should reflect on yourself!”
Huh? Qin Feng breathed a sigh of relief but suddenly felt a sense of familiarity with the conditions the other party was seeking.
Wait a minute, isn’t his younger brother exactly the same type?
“Speaking of which, I’m so happy now, but my younger brother is still a single dog. As his older brother, shouldn’t I care about his lifelong matters and make an effort?”
This little girl, although a bit willful, has a good nature, looks decent, and has outstanding talents. As the direct disciple of the head of the Myriad Sword Sect, her future prospects are undoubtedly limitless.
Would it be acceptable for his younger brother?
Thinking about this, Qin Feng rubbed his chin, started to scrutinize the girl, and began to inquire about her family background.
Bai Qiu, hearing this, suddenly became guarded. She cautioned, “Why are you asking about that?”
It’s just asking about your family background. Why are you so nervous?
Could it be that you are from some imperial family, a distinguished lineage, and can’t casually reveal your family background?
Qin Feng was puzzled and replied, “It’s just a casual question. Since you don’t want to say more, I won’t ask.”
Bai Qiu’s eyes showed a hint of suspicion. She always felt that this person had ill intentions.
“Since we haven’t figured out her background, we should at least let the two of them meet. Perhaps, like a matchmaker pairing green beans and red beans, they might hit it off.”
“However, if I directly ask this girl to go to the courtyard with me, she’ll definitely refuse. I need to come up with a plan. Got it!”
Qin Feng thought of the long knife forged by the old man, which ordinary warriors had no resistance against high-level weapons.
So, he took out the scabbard-wrapped Tiansuo Zhanyue from the storage ring in front of Bai Qiu, then quickly withdrew it.
Feeling the powerful fluctuations from the long knife, the other party was truly hooked and began to inquire deeply.
When she arrived in Jinyang City yesterday, she sensed the disturbance caused by the appearance of an extraordinary weapon!
Qin Feng immediately teased her, “This knife was forged by a mysterious person and is of no less quality than the Supreme Twelve Weapons from the Divine Workshop.
I’d like to show it to you, but it doesn’t belong to me; it belongs to my younger brother.
If you really want to see it, why not go to the courtyard with me? I’m about to give this knife to him.”
After some contemplation, Bai Qiu nodded in agreement. It’s just a few steps; what harm could there be?
Seeing this, Qin Feng smiled and nodded.
For the lifelong event of his younger brother, he had really put in a lot of effort.
I am indeed a good and competent elder brother!
