Quick Wear: Cousin, Come to the Bowl Quickly

Chapter 174: The Sword Cultivator Cousin in the Immortal Cultivation Novel (36)

Lin Xi sat on the small bamboo leaf, took out the jade talisman for transmitting sound and tried to contact Wei Qingchuan, but the talisman stayed on for a long time but there was no response. She frowned and sighed, wanting to go to Wei Qingchuan's residence, but after thinking for a moment, she controlled the small bamboo leaf and flew slowly to the back mountain.

Just like last night, she opened the stone door and walked straight to the left when she reached the fork in the road. But when she was about to reach the cold spring, an invisible restriction appeared in front of her, preventing her from moving forward.

Lin Xi was a little confused. There was no such restriction when she came here last night. What was going on?

This place was only a dozen meters away from the cold spring, but because of the restrictions, she couldn't see clearly what was going on inside. She could only take out the sound transmission jade talisman again and try to call Wei Qingchuan on the other side. Fortunately, there was finally a response this time. Wei Qingchuan's somewhat low voice came, "Lin Xi? What's wrong?"

Lin Xi was delighted and asked quickly, "Cousin, are you in Lengquan?"

Wei Qingchuan was silent for a while, as if he was hesitating whether to answer her, but he finally answered, "Yeah."

"Are you feeling okay? I saw you feeling a little uncomfortable at the banquet just now." Lin Xi sounded a little worried as she recalled how he walked slowly down the stage.

"I'm fine." Wei Qingchuan paused and added, "You don't have to worry."

"Then let me come in and see you. I don't know what happened today, but there suddenly appeared an invisible wall here that blocked me, and I can't get in no matter what."

"You, you are outside?" Wei Qingchuan, who thought she was just asking a few questions, suddenly had a hint of panic in his calm tone when he heard her say that.

But Lin Xi didn't seem to hear the discomfort in his tone, and said in a natural tone: "Yes, your injuries are so serious, and sword dancing will definitely affect the wounds. Besides, you drank so much alcohol, I am not very worried about you."

"You don't have to..." Wei Qingchuan hesitated, but finally compromised and said, "Forget it, wait for me for a moment."

Lin Xi responded happily with a "OK", and then she heard the sound of water splashing coming from the other end of the jade talisman. She thought it must be Wei Qingchuan standing up from the water, followed by the rustling sound of clothes rubbing against each other.

About half a minute later, the barrier in front of Lin Xi suddenly disappeared, and Wei Qingchuan's figure appeared not far away.

"Cousin! You finally came out!" Lin Xi exclaimed softly, holding up the hem of her skirt and trotting a few steps to Wei Qingchuan, reaching for his hand while speaking.

When Wei Qingchuan saw her move, he subconsciously wanted to take a step back, but whether it was because of the injury on his back, or because of the three cups of drunkenness, or for some other reason he himself was not clear about, he, who was always agile, did not immediately avoid Lin Xi's outstretched hand.

Lin Xi grabbed Wei Qingchuan's wrist with both hands, raised her face which was slightly red from drinking, and her watery eyes were filled with worry, "Cousin, why are you here to soak in this cold spring again? Did you tear your wound again when you were dancing with the sword just now?"

Wei Qingchuan felt the warm touch from his wrist, and his mind suddenly flashed back to the feeling of the fingertips of the hands brushing against his back last night, as well as his vague but absurd dream last night. He immediately pursed his lips and tensed his body.

But when he lowered his head, he saw the little girl with her face raised, but her face was just as high as his chest. A trace of shame flashed across his eyes. He frowned and calmly pulled his wrist out of Lin Xi's hand. "It's nothing serious. I'm just drunk, so I wanted to use this cold spring to sober myself up."

Lin Xi didn't notice the movement of his hands. She just looked at his evasive eyes and asked doubtfully, "Cousin, you won't coax me, right? Otherwise, why don't you dare to look at me?"

Wei Qingchuan's expression froze, then he pretended to be calm and looked down at her, "Of course not."

Lin Xi took a few steps back and looked him up and down. She saw that his face was calm and his body was steady. However, perhaps he came out of the water too quickly and did not have time to dry himself. His hair, which had been meticulously combed, was a little messy. A few strands of hair wet by water vapor hung down from his temples, softening his stern face a little.

The snow-blue robe was a little messy. Not only were the wide hem and cuffs stained with water, but the collar was not pulled up as high as usual, revealing a section of his slender neck, a small part of his collarbone, and a piece of red string hidden under the snow-white collar.

Logically speaking, he looked much more neatly dressed than when Lin Xi saw him last night with his chest and abdomen exposed. But when Lin Xi looked at his cheeks which were slightly flushed due to the alcohol, she suddenly felt a little dry in the mouth.

Realizing what she was thinking, she hurriedly avoided Wei Qingchuan's gaze and said with some lack of confidence: "Well, then I'll trust my cousin this time."

Wei Qingchuan looked at her red face and hesitant appearance, and quickly moved his gaze to the green bamboo beside him. He coughed unnaturally and didn't know what to say for a moment. He could only respond lightly, "Yeah."

Seeing that the atmosphere between the two of them was getting a little awkward, Lin Xi suddenly spoke again: "Oh, by the way, cousin, you left in such a hurry last night that you didn't even take the medicine with you. How can you get better without applying the medicine? I brought the medicine with me today, and I'll apply it on you again."

"No need!" As soon as Lin Xi finished speaking, Wei Qingchuan flatly refused, with a somewhat helpless tone in his voice.

"What's wrong?" Lin Xi was startled by his sudden loud shout and looked at Wei Qingchuan helplessly.

"Well, well, oh! I drank some alcohol today, and my head is a little dizzy, so let's put the matter of applying the medicine aside for now." Wei Qingchuan realized that his refusal was too harsh, and was afraid that Lin Xi would think too much, so he added hurriedly with some stuttering.

"Besides, there is a gender difference between you and me. Although you are young, you are a girl after all. Yesterday, you applied medicine to me out of urgency. If you do this again today, if someone sees you, it will damage your reputation."

"Ah, but I was only concerned about your injury, cousin, and never thought about these things." Lin Xi blinked and said bewilderedly.

Seeing her ignorant look, Wei Qingchuan's shame suddenly magnified a little, and he said seriously: "Although you didn't mean it, it's hard to avoid people's words."

"I am not discouraged by the world's criticism. As a person walking in the world, I just want to have a clear conscience." Lin Xi shook her head and said, "When I applied the medicine to my cousin, I was only thinking about healing your wounds. I was not afraid of what people said because of the so-called difference between men and women."

"I have a clear conscience..." Looking at Lin Xi's clear eyes, Wei Qingchuan's eyes were complicated, and he murmured to himself, "But what if I have a guilty conscience?"
