Chapter 104: Night Meeting at the Library
Chapter 104: Night Meeting at the Library
Lin Qingqing drooped her face, put on an aggrieved look, stood upright, and said obediently: "Master, I know I was wrong."
"Oh? Then tell me what's wrong?" Murong Li asked with a stern face, his back to her.
Here it comes! Here it comes! Here comes the fatal question! If you answer it wrong, you’re done!
At this moment, Lin Qingqing's brain was running at high speed, thinking about how to answer this question.
Seeing that his disciple was hesitant, Murong Li asked, "Can't answer? And you still dare to say that you know you are wrong?"
At this moment, an idea suddenly struck her mind, and what Elder Yunmeng said in the cafeteria suddenly flashed through her mind. She immediately reacted and answered quickly: "I really know I was wrong! The mistake was that I didn't communicate and give feedback to the master in time. Correct it immediately!"
To be honest, this answer made Murong Li feel better, but these were not the answers he wanted. What he wanted was to confirm his position as the master in Lin Qingqing's heart. He sighed silently in his heart. Sometimes it was a trouble when the disciples were too outstanding, and the master was just a figurehead, without any authority or role.
"Come and sit down, don't stand." Without too much blame, Murong invited his apprentice to sit down.
"Yes, Master." Seeing that her master's mood had inexplicably improved, Lin Qingqing immediately sat on the round stool next to Murong Li's chaise longue, looking well-behaved.
"Do you need my help?" Murong Li glanced at her and spoke lightly.
"Master, how did you know that?" Lin Qingqing stared at him in disbelief with her eyes wide open.
"With your poor acting skills, I have lived hundreds of years longer than you, how can I not see that?" Murong Li snorted with a proud face.
"Hahahaha, you really are my good master!"
Lin Qingqing immediately stopped hiding her feelings and shamelessly praised Murong Li. She had no idea how to write "shame" and did not know how to restrain herself at all. However, these were all harmless actions. Murong Li felt that Lin Qingqing was very cute and had the innocence that a young girl should have.
"For Rong Zhao?" Murong Li hit the nail on the head.
Her master was quite amazing and could even guess this. Lin Qingqing hesitated for a while and then nodded resolutely.
Seeing this, Murong Li sighed, and finally compromised, saying faintly: "I don't know what your relationship is with him, but that guy is a good person, with great luck, and can be regarded as a child of destiny, and he is worthy of you."
"Ah, Master, what nonsense are you talking about? He and I are not what you think. I help him just for..." Lin Qingqing couldn't say the last two words "mission" no matter what. She could only lower her head silently and said no more.
Murong Li thought she was shy, so he leaned over and patted Lin Qingqing on the shoulder, smiled bitterly and said, "No need to explain, I understand. Don't look at me alone now, when I was young, I walked through a sea of flowers without getting a leaf on me."
Lin Qingqing was confused. What was going on? She didn't want to listen to Murong Li talk about his courtship history at all. She quickly interrupted his thoughts and got straight to the point.
"Master."
"Hmm?" Murong Li's thoughts were immediately called back by Lin Qingqing.
"Can I borrow the library's ID card?" she asked with a smile.
"Is this what you want?" Murong Li thought it was a big deal, and Lin Qingqing had to waste so much time on such a small matter. However, the result was that he felt relieved and comfortable borrowing.
"Yes." Lin Qingqing nodded repeatedly and looked at Murong Li sincerely.
Murong Li waved his ID card with a heroic gesture and it landed on the table. He said, "Use it. There's no rush to return it."
"Thank you, Master!" Lin Qingqing took the ID card with a happy face and said quickly, "Then I won't disturb you to rest. I will take my leave first."
"Go ahead, go ahead, you little bastard." Murong Li waved his hand unhappily and let her go.
The evening breeze is gentle and the moon is bright in the sky.
Two men in black were crouching in a hidden place in front of the library.
"Brother, why do we have to dress like this? Since we have the brand, can't we just go in openly?" Lin Qingqing asked.
"That's you, not me." Rong Zhao looked at Lin Qingqing resentfully.
"Then I'll walk in with a swagger?"
"Then I'll leave?" Rong Zhao asked back.
Lin Qingqing thought about it and said, "It's not impossible."
For a moment, the two looked at each other. Rong Zhao was very angry at Lin Qingqing's train of thought, but his emotions came and went quickly. After all, what she said made some sense. It was better to walk in openly than to sneak in.
Finally, Rong Zhao compromised and said, "Just walk in like this."
"What about the senior brother?" Lin Qingqing asked puzzledly.
Rong Zhao made a hand gesture and transformed into a short sword which landed in Lin Qingqing's hand. She screamed and almost threw the short sword out of her hand reflexively. She complained:
"It was so sudden, it scared me!"
Rong Zhao was teasing her on purpose, and was secretly happy in his heart at this moment. It was a pity that he was now a dagger, and one could not see the corners of his mouth that could not be suppressed from rising.
"There are not many people here now, let's go in."
Lin Qingqing responded, then used magic to change the black clothes on her body, and whispered: "This black coat makes me look more high-profile."
Rong Zhao didn't say anything. It was such a trivial matter, so let her do whatever she wanted.
Because there was no suitable scabbard to cover Rong Zhao's dagger, Lin Qingqing had to put it in her long sleeves. She also had to be careful not to get stabbed by the sharp blade. Although she believed that Rong Zhao would not hurt her, it was better to be safe than sorry.
As usual, the person sitting in the lobby of the library was Elder Yunmeng. A lot of things happened today, and she seemed a little tired and dozed off at the table.
Lin Qingqing calmly stepped over the high threshold, thought for a moment, and greeted Yunmeng like she did that day.
"Good evening, Elder Yunmeng."
Seeing that Yun Meng didn't even open her eyes, she casually waved her hand, indicating Lin Qingqing to go and play by herself and not to bother her. Lin Qingqing was secretly happy and walked upstairs with a clear mind.
At this moment, Yun Meng, feeling the presence of more than one person in the air, opened her eyes instantly, but only saw Lin Qingqing's lonely back.
"Is it an illusion?" Yun Meng thought for a moment, then closed her eyes again, "I must be too tired today."
Rong Zhao, who was hiding in Lin Qingqing's long sleeves, was frightened and broke out in a sweat. He was almost discovered by Elder Yunmeng. After all, the other party was a Yuanying master with keen perception. It was only Rong Zhao's luck that he could hide from her eyes.
"Senior Brother, what you came up with is a great idea!" Lin Qingqing went up six floors in one breath and was about to reach the seventh floor. She did not forget to flatter Rong Zhao. The reason for all this started before the alchemy competition officially began.
At that time, when Chu Yu and Lin Qingqing were discussing the prizes for the alchemy competition, a familiar voice suddenly came into Lin Qingqing's mind.
"Ask Sect Master Chu for another condition."
