Chapter 252 White Robe (1 More)

Chu Liding sat in front of the window, watching Xiao Qi walk up to the snow lake and enter her water pavilion along the plank road, her graceful figure disappeared.

It was as if a piece of his heart had been dug out abruptly, and his body was so limp that he couldn't exert any strength.

The morning sun shone on her body, but she couldn't feel any warmth at all. The sky and the earth seemed to lose their color. The originally beautiful valley became empty and lonely, and the intoxicating aura it exuded also disappeared.

He sat for a long time until Suru came over to greet him for dinner.

Following Suru to her waterside pavilion, Xiao Qi, dressed in white as snow, sat quietly by the window, gave him a faint look, and said nothing.

Chu Li smiled and sat opposite her.

Suru's bright eyes turned around.

The behavior of the two of them is no different from usual, but there is always a strange atmosphere between the two of them, which is different from usual.

She looked carefully, and it seemed that the young lady's gaze was more active, she had been staring at Chu Li, and Chu Li was not to be outdone, and the two looked at each other from time to time.

She smiled secretly, and it seemed that the relationship between the two had greatly increased.

After finishing the meal, Chu Li said, "I'm going to pay a visit to the seniors today, and I'm leaving tomorrow."

"Go?" Suru's bright eyes widened, "Why are you in such a hurry?"

"Those who have to go have to go." Chu Li said, "There are still things to do."

"Let's stay for a few more days, and leave after Senior Sister goes into seclusion." Suru glanced at Xiao Qi.

Xiao Qi said lightly: "If he wants to leave, let him go!"

Suru was extremely reluctant and stared at Xiao Qi.

Xiao Qi said: "He's going to do business, it's not like we won't see each other again."

"But this is too urgent!" Suru snorted.

Chu Li said with a smile: "I plan to raise an eagle, and let it come over to deliver the letter."

"That's a good idea!" Suru laughed and said, "I wish the golden eagle raised by the old man is very spiritual. I will ask him for the secret method of domestication."

Chu Li nodded, took a deep look at Xiao Qi, got up and left.

He called on Wang Wensi, Jiang Chunyue, and Li Qingluo one by one, bid farewell to them, and finally came to the water pavilion of Shen Ying Lake.

Shen Yinghu was sitting in the small pavilion, lazily looking at the lake, in a daze without moving, the corners of his charming eyes seemed to be filled with sorrow.

Chu Li stepped into the booth and sat opposite her.

Shen Yinghu propped his chin and looked at him lazily.

Chu Li said: "I have made it clear to Xiao Qi that she will continue to practice the Supreme Sword Classic."

Shen Yinghu looked him up and down, his clear eyes swept back and forth, and shook his head: "You will regret it."

"I hope." Chu Li smiled: "I'm looking forward to seeing her who is a master of the gods!"

"By then, she has no feelings for you."

"It doesn't matter, I will let her have it." Chu Li smiled: "When she entered the Duke's mansion, she also practiced the Supreme Sword Sutra, so she would not be tempted by men."

"Boldness!" Shen Yinghu showed a charming smile: "No wonder Xiaoqi can fall in love with you!... But you have to understand that when you entered the Duke's mansion, the Supreme Sword Sutra was just a layer of cloth wrapped around her heart. She has become a master of the gods, and there is already a wall around her heart."

"I can break through this wall." Chu Li took out a letter from his arms and handed it to Shen Yinghu.

Shen Yinghu took it over, touched it, and there was a jade pendant in the letter.

Chu Li said: "Senior knows when to give it to her."

"Okay, when are we leaving?"

"Leave tonight."

"You can come over often to see that girl Xiaoru." Shen Yinghu said: "Xiaoqi is in seclusion, she is very lonely by herself."

Chu Li nodded.

He stood up and cupped his fists, Shen Yinghu sighed and waved his jade hand lightly.

Chu Li slowly left the small pavilion.

Not long after returning to the pavilion, Suru walked over, holding a bundle in her hand.

Chu Li sat on the couch and looked at her with a smile.

Suru stared at Chu Li: "Are you guys having a fight?"

"That's right." Chu Li said with a smile, "It will be fine after a while."

"I don't know what you are doing." Suru shook her head and said, "But she is in a bad mood."

Chu Li nodded.

"She's still pretending she's okay." Suru snorted, "You must have made her angry!...You're the only one with this ability!"

Xiao Qi practiced the Taishang Sword Sutra, her temperament was cold, her mood was always calm and unwavering, it was difficult for others to make her angry, and her mood would not fluctuate.

Chu Li sighed and smiled.

"This is what she asked me to send." Suru opened the bundle.

Inside is a moon white robe, which is flawless, not so white as to be conspicuous, but also spotless.

"She said, you will look good in it." Suru took it out and shook it, and handed it to him: "Try it on and see if it fits you well."

Chu Li took off his outer shirt and put on a white robe.

The material of the white robe is strange, soft and sinking, it feels like Xiao Qi's skin, it is cool and moist, delicate yet flexible.

"This is made of moon hemp. It is very rare and has many benefits. It will not be invaded by water or fire, nor will it be hurt by swords. The most important thing is that it is spotless and will never get dirty. Little... She has one, and I will give you this one." Made a robe, it seems to fit well." Suru looked at it and said.

Chu Li said: "She still has such skills?"

"What do you think?" Suru said with a smile, "Her needlework is extremely high, and her clothes are made by herself. This is the first time for others to make them. They fit very well, so just wear them like this."

Chu Li smiled and nodded.

Suru slapped her hands: "Okay, what do you have in return?"

"No." Chu Li shook his head.

Suru gave him a white look.

Chu Li smiled and said, "Say thank you for me."

"I won't tell you!" Suru snorted, waved her hands and left gracefully.

——

The moonlight was like water, Chu Li stepped out of the pavilion and got off the plank road, carrying a bag with a white robe inside, and walked out slowly.

When he came to Taniguchi, he suddenly felt something and turned around.

The waterside pavilion in Shen Yinghu is two stories high, and Xiao Qi in a white shirt is standing on the roof, looking at him quietly, like a flawless white jade statue under the moonlight.

Chu Li smiled at her, turned around and strode away.

Watching his back disappear into Taniguchi, Xiao Qi trembled slightly, feeling empty, as if her heart had been taken away by him.

The sun had just risen, and a ray of golden light shone on his body, and he stood there all night unknowingly.

Shen Yinghu came to her side, and sighed softly: "Silly girl, it's not life and death!... You are better than your mother, and you didn't pick the wrong man."

Xiao Qi remained silent.

Shen Yinghu patted her on the shoulder: "Think about your mother, think about the Duke's Mansion, and think about Chu Li's painstaking efforts, it's time for you to make a decision!"

"I want to retreat." Xiao Qi's voice was hoarse and dry.

"Okay." Shen Yinghu held her wrist, and the two of them drifted away from the waterside pavilion, heading deep into the valley.

All the way to the end of the valley, stopping in front of the cliff that goes straight into the sky and the peak cannot be seen clearly.

The two of them swayed up the cliff, until they were submerged in the clouds. She bit her index finger and pressed it to a certain place.

With a sound of "boom", a hole appeared on the cliff.

The two entered the cave and walked through a road in the cave. Suddenly, another valley appeared in front of them, which was the same as the valley of Xueyuexuan. The snow lake, woods, and flowers were too beautiful to behold.

The only difference is that there is only one water pavilion and one small pavilion on this lake.

Xiao Qi stood in the small pavilion, looking at the clear and calm lake with a cold expression.

"Have you figured it out?" Shen Yinghu leaned against the railing and asked casually, "Continue to practice the Supreme Sword Sutra?"

Xiao Qi was silent.

Shen Yinghu didn't urge her either, and leaned on the railing to look at the lake.

Time passed slowly, from morning to noon, and then to evening.

Xiao Qi remained motionless as if turning into a statue.

Shen Yinghu leaned on the window in the waterside pavilion looking at her, shaking his head helplessly.

The sunset is all over the sky, the lake is like a huge red satin, the valley is dyed rose color, everything becomes magnificent and charming.

Xiao Qi's body kept shaking.

Shen Yinghu sighed, floated to her side, and handed her a letter: "This is what he left for you."

Xiao Qi's face was as pale as paper, her eyes were scattered, she took the letter, and slowly opened it with trembling hands.
