Chapter 3009 Shen Tianyu 409

One of the mischievous junior brothers touched his own tai chi bun and pointed at Jing Hong's hair.

So, what do you mean, he changed his hairstyle?

Jing Hong raised his hand and put it around Bai Chenxue's slender shoulder, saying with great pride, "She likes it."

Upon hearing this, everyone burst into laughter and jeers, mocking him for abandoning his principles in pursuit of a woman, despite being the second senior disciple of Maoshan.

Bai Chenxue was so embarrassed she wanted to disappear into the ground.

She was raised in seclusion since childhood. Due to poor health, she would only study for half a year and then take a break for the other half. She studied Chinese language and literature in college, where there were mostly girls in her class. She had never seen so many men laughing and joking before.

That's so embarrassing.

She gently swayed her shoulder.

Noticing her discomfort, Jing Hong immediately removed his arm from her shoulder.

Bai Chenxue quietly moved behind him.

Jing Hong glanced back at her slightly flushed face, a slight smile playing on his lips.

He liked her shy demeanor.

I once found it in a book in her study; the most striking image was that gentle bow of her head, like a water lily, shyly trembling in the cool breeze.

That description couldn't be more fitting.

He said to his fellow students, "She's shy and has a delicate face, so I'll take her somewhere else."

The crowd erupted in another round of cheers.

Jing Hong took Bai Chenxue's hand and walked forward.

Upon arriving at the Shouguan Temple, which enshrines the Three Mao True Lords, he suggested, "Let's go in and pay our respects. Our ancestral master is enshrined inside; he's very efficacious."

Bai Chenxue nodded.

"What do you want?"

Bai Chenxue thought for a moment, "Family ties."

She wanted to know if Sheng Po was truly dead, or if he was faking it.

The ashes were delivered and buried, but she still couldn't believe that a living person had died so suddenly.

Jing Hong led her into the temple.

To Bai Chenxue's surprise, this place was different from the Taoist temples she usually visited. There were offerings and incense on the altar, but there were no tourists queuing to burn incense, and it was very quiet.

Bai Chenxue asked curiously, "Why are there no tourists here?"

Jing Hong said, "This is our place of cultivation, not open to the public. Don't worry, it's more effective than the commercialized places outside."

A diligent junior disciple helped them fetch incense.

Jing Hong taught Bai Chenxue how to properly light incense, insert incense sticks, and kneel in worship.

He picked up the divination box and handed it to her.

Bai Chenxue took the divination tube, knelt on the prayer mat, shook the tube devoutly, closed her eyes and silently expressed her wish in her heart, then shook out a divination stick.

She picked up the fortune stick.

The inscription reads: "The moon rises bright and beautiful in the east, but is soon obscured by clouds; sometimes it is full, sometimes it is crescent, and it is not always complete."

She found it complicated and difficult to understand, and could only vaguely make sense of it.

A professional is needed to interpret the divination.

She handed the slip to Jing Hong, saying, "Could you take a look at this for me?"

Jing Hong took it, glanced at it, and saw that the fortune slip indicated the patient's condition was uncertain.

It's not considered a lucky omen.

The main omen is misfortune.

Knowing that she was thoughtful, sensitive, suspicious, and prone to overthinking, Jing Hong picked up the divination tube, rummaged through it, and found a new divination stick, handing it to her. "The previous one doesn't count. This one is the one I drew for you. It's accurate."

Bai Chenxue took it and wrote on the slip: "In times of drought, the fields are all barren, but thanks to the heavens, the sweet rain falls and nourishes the flowers, fruits, grasses and trees. Only now do I realize that a single rain is worth a thousand pieces of gold."

Jing Hong said, "This divination slip is an omen of timely rain after a drought. It means that there is hope in all difficulties, and it is auspicious."

Bai Chenxue's eyes lit up with surprise, "So, my cousin isn't dead?"

"You're asking your cousin?"

"Yes, Shengpo."

“Him,” Jing Hong said casually, “He has benefactors in his life who can help him turn bad luck into good. He survives great calamities and will surely have good fortune in the future. Don’t worry about him.”

"Really?"

Jing Hong's gaze was firm. "Really."

He didn't know Sheng Po's birth date and time, nor had he calculated it for him. Whether he was truly dead or not, he didn't know. He only knew that saying this would make Bai Chenxue happy.

He liked the way her willow-leaf eyebrows looked, seemingly furrowed but not quite, yet he didn't want her to be sad.

Worrying harms the body.

Jing Hong asked, "Do you still require feelings?"

Bai Chenxue shook his head.

She no longer wanted to beg.

She felt that even if she drew the worst possible lot, he would help her change it to the best possible one to cheer her up.

Bai Chenxue wondered if all the people she taught were like this.

All she knew was that Jing Hong was a man who never wasted his energy. If he met someone suitable, he would pursue them; if they were hard to pursue, he would dig a pit and use all sorts of tricks to pursue them; if one person wasn't enough, he would drag his whole family into it; if he drew the worst lot, he would immediately change it; if someone was unhappy, he would immediately coax them by making up lies, even in front of their founder, the founder of Maoshan Sect, without fear of offending their ancestor.

That's such a cool personality.

He definitely won't develop any kind of nodules, she thought.

The two returned to the small building in the bamboo garden.

Mr. and Mrs. Jing had already prepared the meal.

After the meal, Jing's mother earnestly invited Bai Chenxue and Bai Hanzhu to stay for a few more days.

Unable to refuse their hospitality, the grandfather and grandson stayed.

To Bai Chenxue's surprise, the room she was staying in seemed to have been reserved especially for her, as the words "Xueju" were inlaid on the door.

Jing Hong's eldest brother is named Jing Ge, his third sister is named Jing Hua, and his mother is named Jing Wei; none of them have anything to do with snow.

After taking a shower, Bai Chenxue lay down on the bed and turned off the bedside lamp.

I noticed something shimmering in the decorative white gauze bags hanging in the corner. It was very pretty, and there was more than one bag; there were countless bags that formed a large, sparkling "heart".

After thinking for a while, Bai Chenxue realized that they were fireflies.

They are rarely seen in cities; they can only be found in these minimally polluted mountain forests.

Bai Chenxue turned on the bedside lamp, got out of bed, walked to the corner of the wall, and gently stroked the gauze bag containing fireflies, her heart filled with tenderness.

She opened the gauze bag, went to the window, opened the window, and put them all out.

They look beautiful hanging on the wall at night, but they are better suited to flying freely in the forest.

Then she picked up her phone and texted Jing Hong: The fireflies are beautiful, thank you, you've gone to so much trouble.

Jing Hong replied: My mom caught it. She said you live in the city, so you probably haven't seen one before, and she caught it for you to play with.

Bai Chenxue thought to herself that she had been rash. Jing Hong had caught them, and she had just let them go. But this was a token of Jing's mother's affection. She had caught so many, put them in small gauze bags, and hung them on the wall. It must have taken a lot of effort.

She quickly replied: Good night.

The phone rang.

It was a call from Jing Hong.

Bai Chenxue answered the call.

Jing Hong said, "It can't be put on hold."

"what happened?"

"Can't sleep."

Bai Chenxue was puzzled, "You cultivators should sleep very well."

Jing Hong: "Thinking of someone."

Bai Chenxue's ears felt slightly warm. "Don't think about it anymore, go to sleep."

"I can't control my thoughts; I miss someone so much that I can't eat."

Bai Chenxue laughed out loud, "You ate quite a bit for dinner too. You couldn't eat with chopsticks and a bowl anyway."

Send me your location so I can see where my heart has wandered off to.

"It's right next door to you, how pretentious."

Hearing Jing Hong say again, "I want to live in your heart, the kind where there are no neighbors."

Bai Chenxue didn't know how to answer.

The next second, Jing Hong's voice rang out simultaneously from the phone and outside the door, "I have a secret that I need to tell you face to face."

Believing it to be true, Bai Chenxue turned and walked towards the door.

She opened the door.

Jing Hong rested his right elbow on the door frame, his tall figure slightly tilted, and looked down at her.

Bai Chenxue hurriedly lowered her head.

The masculine and sexy manhood he exudes is so aggressive.

The dim indoor light cast shadows on his face, making his thick, dark eyebrows, high and strong nose, and deep lips appear even more defined. His eyelashes were so thick that they made his eyes look a little fuzzy and wet.

Those eyes were so deep, as if they were filled with deep affection.

She dared not look.

Jing Honggang's magnetic voice rang in her ears, "I have a secret that I need to tell you face to face, mouth to mouth."

Mouth to mouth?

Bai Chenxue's face instantly turned red.
