Chapter 452: 0278 Carrying Dreams Down the Mountain (Two-in-One)_2
Therefore, Xu Chang’an didn’t go up to call for any Daoist master, but gave Yun Qian a glance and quietly stood still, not rushing to disturb the other’s work.
Yun Qian was very patient when holding hands with him.
Thus, this young couple really stood in the hall without saying anything, only exchanging glances.
A long time passed.
The Daoist nun finally set down her pen, quite pleased with the young man who walked in; there aren’t many disciples these days who are patient and respectful to elders and care for the young.
She lifted her head, revealing her neat forehead, and smiled, "You’ve waited long..."
Hmm?
The smile froze on her face.
Is this the young man that Gu’Er likes?
Isn’t this Xu Chang’an?
He’s quite a celebrity, as one of the few who can exchange a few words with Zhu Tongjun, the Daoist nun certainly knows Xu Chang’an’s background well.
A young man, already married, liked by many, which is well-known.
The Daoist nun’s gaze lingered on the intertwined fingers of Xu Chang’an and Yun Qian for a moment, only to feel a headache at the back of her head.
Her blood pressure rose.
The initial thought of praising Gu’Er in front of her crush, and the gossiping heart... seeing Xu Chang’an turned into cold water doused over her, words choked at her throat, unable to say a single word.
"Senior sister, we need to go down the mountain." Xu Chang’an didn’t think too much, not being very familiar with this Daoist nun, he simply handed over the Jade Scroll as part of his duties.
This... is Qin’Er’s private scroll.
The Daoist nun opened the Jade Scroll and glanced at it, unexpectedly discovering his good relationship with Qinling, noting the language Qinling used.
The one beside him must be Miss Yun, the Yun Qian who Zhu Tongjun mentioned as someone who acts early and raised a Child Foster Husband?
The Daoist nun looked Yun Qian up and down, at first sight only noticing her great figure, but she was wearing a veil, and seemed exhausted, barely keeping her eyes open.
Indeed, as Zhu Tongjun said, although Xu Chang’an is the Child Foster Husband, he is the one in charge.
"Senior sister?" Xu Chang’an looked at the Daoist nun in a daze, hesitated for a moment then asked, "Do you need to remove the veil to verify identity?"
"Oh, no need, I recognize you." The Daoist nun snapped back to reality, properly handled the procedures with him, allocated the Cloud Boat for descending the mountain, and reminded him, "There’s thunderstorm today, but I’ve fortified the Cloud Boat, so there won’t be any problem."
"I know." Xu Chang’an nodded, not worried about safety.
"There’s a new junior here, I said it for her." The Daoist nun shook her head, it’s common for people to feel uneasy when first encountering the Cloud Boat.
Hearing someone worried that Miss Yun might be afraid, Xu Chang’an felt like retorting, but remained respectful, saluting, then led Yun Qian away in search of their Cloud Boat.
"..."
As Xu Chang’an and Yun Qian left, the Daoist nun remained silent for a long time before resting her hand on her forehead, feeling a faint headache.
She must not have been mistaken.
So... that unruly Gu’Er fell for a married man?
No, that’s just something she would do, otherwise, why call her unruly?
This Xu Chang’an is troublesome, his romantic liaisons are significant, like just now, the Storage Pouch at his waist was embroidered with Dongfang’Er’s emblem.
However, Xu Chang’an’s indifference to romance is as well-known as his romantic liaisons.
Being such a man for a first love, she can already foresee Gu Qiancheng’s tragic future.
A girl’s poetic heart is soon to be cleanly shattered.
As an elder, the Daoist nun can’t rejoice in someone else’s misfortune, instead, she starts to worry about the young girl, after all, she is one of their own.
She doesn’t think she misunderstood.
It’s Gu Qiancheng whose flushed face and shy demeanor... was too obvious, anyone would misunderstand.
Additionally, Xu Chang’an’s gentle personality is indeed likable to young girls, so she has no awareness of misunderstanding her own perception.
As for liking Yun Qian?
Who would think that?
The Daoist nun’s head was buzzing...
That silly girl, why fall for someone who’s married?
Even if he’s married, why must it be Xu Chang’an, he’s Miss Li’s student... Now, even using some tactics is to no avail.
"Forget it." The Daoist nun thought to herself this matter has nothing to do with her, she didn’t see anything, nor did she know anything.
At most, after Gu’Er’s heartbreak, she could make a Cloud Boat for her to mess around with.
In the future, treat her better.
"A girl’s heart... Ah." The Daoist nun glanced pitifully in the direction of Tripod Heart Peak, then at the girls from Beisang City, slightly twitching the corner of her eye, suddenly having a not-so-good thought.
Should it be said: like family?
Zhu Tongjun also mentioned liking him, although not in a romantic sense, but... at least their tastes are consistent.
Actually, it’s precisely because of this that the Daoist nun has no doubt that Gu Qiancheng truly likes him.
Someone certified by Zhu Tongjun, it’s natural for Gu Qiancheng to like him, isn’t it?
Thinking of it, the Daoist nun wrote something personally.
She also received benefits from observing Gu’Er, and now knowing this incredible news, naturally, she had to think of a way, not just watch the young girl fall into the mire.
A girl’s first love is exceptionally beautiful, it only happens once in a lifetime, it can’t be spoiled by Xu Chang’an.
Send a letter to Zhu Tongjun, asking her to think of a way, see if she can change Gu Qiancheng’s mindset, and pull the young girl out.
——
On the path down the mountain.
A small boat sails in the clouds, Xu Chang’an and Yun Qian sitting inside the Cloud Boat, faint lightning below can be seen flashing.
Leaving here, crossing the rain clouds is also necessary.
Watching Yun Qian’s dazed appearance, Xu Chang’an steadied himself in the Cloud Boat and asked, "Miss, what’s the matter? Rest assured, there’s a Barrier on our boat, rainwater won’t come in. We’ll pass through shortly, and by chance, you’ll get to see the scenery in the lightning, I was awestruck for quite some time during my first sight."
The scenery between heaven and earth is the most awe-inspiring.
"Rainwater?" Yun Qianyi on the soft Cloud Boat yawned, confused for a while before understanding what he was talking about.
"There’s nothing much to see in thunderclouds." Yun Qian shook her head and said, "That girl earlier looked at you strangely, do you know her?"
She was thinking about this.
"That senior sister? I don’t know all the senior sisters on this mountain." Xu Chang’an smiled helplessly, "It’s normal for her to look at me strangely; didn’t I say... my reputation on the mountain isn’t great."
He’s really used to it.
Rather, if a girl sees "Xu Chang’an," a famous pretty boy, and treats him normally, that’s unconventional.
Thinking of this, Xu Chang’an felt fortunate that Yun Qian wore a veil, avoiding that strange gaze from affecting her.
"Oh." Yun Qian responded, she also promised Xu Chang’an not to get upset over this matter.
At this moment, the Cloud Boat started, moving through the Cloud Sea.
Yun Qian thought for a moment, then asked Xu Chang’an, "That Gu’Er, does she like you?"
"...?" Xu Chang’an was taken aback by Yun Qian’s sudden statement, "What are you saying, she almost has ’not liking me’ written on her face."
Thinking of this, Xu Chang’an smiled.
After all, he’s the young girl’s rival in love, and a successful one at that.
Thinking about this, Xu Chang’an lay down beside Yun Qian, with soft Cloud Boat walls to his left and gentle Miss Yun to his right, he couldn’t help turning over, looking at Yun Qian, thinking, inhaling the close fragrance, reaching out to tousle the girl’s hair in front of her forehead.
"That tickles." Yun Qian lightly patted him, then said, "I actually feel she doesn’t dislike you."
If Gu Qiancheng really disliked Xu Chang’an, how would she talk to him?
Yun Qian can learn something from her, can have some fondness for her, which itself indicates that Gu Qiancheng isn’t as she portrays, as much as she claims, in disliking Xu Chang’an.
"Maybe it’s because I cook well." Xu Chang’an said earnestly.
