Chapter 8

I’m so timid

When the door of the Discipline Hall was closed and the room became dark, Qi Yue relaxed and knelt on his butt and breathed a sigh of relief, "I finally left."

The sun set, and the afterglow slanted in through the window lattice, casting a light on the floor in front of them. Qi Yue's body was also dyed with a layer of warm color. Shen Jinyu knelt in the dimness where the afterglow could not reach, and The shadow separated their kneeling bodies into two spaces: light and dark.

Shen Jinyu knelt in the shadow and couldn't clearly see the expression on his face, "You're good at admitting your mistake,"

Qi Yue turned her head to look at him. She couldn't see clearly the expression on Shen Jinyu's face due to the lighting problem, but hearing the rare relaxed tone in his tone, Qi Yue guessed that he should be smiling at the moment, "That's not true. Those who do not actively admit their mistakes have ideological problems. If they admit their mistakes in advance, their morality will kidnap them."

"Anyway, no one is listening, so it doesn't matter whether I explain or not." Shen Jinyu said lightly, but in Qi Yue's ears, there was a hint of helplessness.

"Yes, I'll listen to your explanation," Qi Yue touched Shen Jinyu's hand.

Shen Jinyu did not answer, but smiled faintly, as if the smile was forced out of his hands.

The Discipline Hall suddenly became quiet, except for the "swish" sound of the wind outside the house flapping the crumbling leaves.

After a long time, Qi Yue asked, "Shen Jinyu, do you hate them?"

Hate? It's too light. Shen Jinyu wished that all these people would die! But he didn't say anything, he only clenched his fists so hard that his whole body was shaking.

Qi Yue saw this and felt a little sour in her heart. How could she not hate her? She obviously did nothing wrong but she was despised and humiliated by everyone. But considering Qi Yue's purpose, she just couldn't let Shen Jinyu hate her.

It's so difficult. How can a person who has gone through many hardships not hate the person who caused this suffering? After thinking for a long time, Qi Yue still couldn't speak.

Aruo's voice appeared to remind her, "Host, this is a good opportunity,"

"I know, but what do you want me to say?" Qi Yue responded in his heart, "If you have the ability, come and speak without back pain."

A Ruo: "A Ruo cannot empathize with you, but the host must always remember his mission to return home."

"You die!" Qi Yue cursed loudly. This inexplicable movement frightened Shen Jinyu to the point where he almost lost control of his expression. He looked at Qi Yue with an incomprehensible expression.

"I'm not scolding you, I'm cursing them, that Duan Mufeng," Qi Yue argued.

Shen Jinyu didn't think too much and just reminded her in a low voice, "Be careful what you say. Be careful that walls have ears."

"Oh," Qi Yue covered her mouth to indicate that she understood.

After the sun gradually sank into the mountains, the light and shadow on the floor also disappeared. There were no candles lit in the Discipline Hall, and darkness enveloped the two of them together. Shen Jinyu kept kneeling in the same position until now, and Qi Yue had already He fell asleep with his head stuck out and his buttocks.

Shen Jinyu took a look, and there was a faint smile on that ice-like face. He probably had never seen a woman who could sleep like this in his life.

The weather is getting colder, and the night insects have stopped chirping. Only the occasional unknown bird call comes to mind. The wind is blowing, and the bamboo shadow outside the window keeps swaying, like a ghost with teeth and claws. A crescent moon hangs on the tip of the leaf, in the bamboo The shadow is looming.

Shen Jinyu looked at Qi Yue's miserable sleeping state and thought to herself, I don't know if she will still remember going to Zhuhai Cliff tomorrow morning. She probably won't remember. She can fall asleep even after breakfast at Chen Shi, and even more at Mao Shi. Morning, I can't get up.

Shen Jinyu picked up the Fulian knife lying on the ground and carefully stroked the pattern on the scabbard, as if she could feel her father's body temperature when he held the knife.

This sword was the only thing left to Shen Jinyu by his parents. Back then, a fire burned them all, leaving only this sword.

Soon, soon, there will be a day when the clouds and fog will clear away, it will definitely happen, and the truth of everything will be revealed. Shen Jinyu secretly encouraged herself in her heart.

Qi Yue slept until her legs were numb, her hands were numb, and her neck was numb. When she got up, she couldn't move for a while. It was late at night and the room was so dark that she couldn't see her fingers. The attendant came in and reminded them that they could leave. Qi Yue could only stand up with Shen Jinyu's help.

She knelt for too long. When she stood up, her legs were weak and she immediately knelt down again. Shen Jinyu also stood there for a long time, unable to take a step. Qi Yue couldn't help laughing when she looked at him and herself in such embarrassment.

"Although it's tragic, it's also so funny. When it's over, all my merits will be deducted,"

Shen Jinyu looked at her helplessly, "It seems that the punishment is light on you, merit? Do you still believe in Buddhism?"

"Believe it, the Buddha will hear your thoughts, do you believe it too?" Qi Yue pulled Shen Jinyu's sleeves and stood up, stamping her feet to make sure she could leave before walking out.

"I don't believe in gods and Buddhas," Shen Jinyu said after leaving the door of the Discipline Hall. "The only person I can believe in in this world is myself. I am destined to run counter to gods and Buddhas."

Qi Yue didn't understand what he meant, and Shen Jinyu didn't say anything more. In the night, something seemed to be jumping in Shen Jinyu's eyes, which was anger that Qi Yue couldn't understand.

The two separated at a fork in the road, and Qi Yue walked back to her house. She was still thinking about how to instigate rebellion in a situation like Shen Jinyu's. When she was lost in thought, a person suddenly appeared from behind the stone in front of her. Qi Yue I was so frightened that my heart skipped a beat, and I almost thought I had seen a ghost.

"I'm sorry, Junior Sister Qi Yue, I scared you," the figure said apologetically, and Qi Yue recognized Yue Ling from the voice.

She changed out of her disciple's uniform and into a pair of plain white regular clothes. When she got closer, she saw a cold and stunning face that was even more attractive in the night. The plain white clothes made her look like a moon goddess descending to earth, standing tall and graceful.

"Senior Sister Yue Ling," Qi Yue breathed a sigh of relief, "Why are you here so late?"

"If you can't sleep, just go out for a walk," Yue Ling turned and walked forward, Qi Yue following behind.

"Here," Yue Ling took out an oil paper bag from his hand and handed it to Qi Yue. Qi Yue took it. A mouth-watering fragrance penetrated the tip of her nose, and her stomach growled in response. She opened the oil paper and saw that it was a drumstick.

"Chicken legs!" Qi Yue's eyes lit up, and Yue Ling chuckled, "You must be hungry, eat quickly."

"Thank you, senior sister!" Qi Yue started to take a big bite. Seeing how happy Qi Yue was eating, Yue Ling asked casually, "Why did the owner punish you today?"

"Shen Jinyu and I were just made to kneel in the Discipline Hall, and there were no other punishments." Qi Yue had a mouth full of chicken and her words were a little slurred. "Sister, do you all know?"

Yue Ling flicked the tassel on his belt with his hand, "The story of you angrily pushing the bookshelf and hitting Senior Brother Duan has been spread throughout Changlin. Of course I know. You are the first person who dares to do this to Senior Brother Duan. You are quite courageous. "

"I'm so timid. Otherwise, when the master asked me today, I wouldn't have been so positive in admitting my mistake. When I pushed the bookshelf, my brain didn't catch up with me. I didn't realize that I was in big trouble until I reacted." Qi Yue was fine. Be careful and tell the truth.
