Seeking the Tao in the Mortal World

Chapter 35: First Love…

Qin Yi sometimes couldn’t figure out whether it was completely his own will or mixed with the mentality that he was compelled to do so when he said so firmly to the emperor what he would never say before.

Is it because I can’t let Li Qingjun marry Mang Zhan, so I have to strive for this one time, or is it that I really love to such an extent?

I don’t know.

I even feel that if I marry Li Qingjun now, my heart is still not ready…

But at least I can confirm that I really like Li Qingjun very much.

Not only because of her alluring looks, but also because I like her boldness and chivalry, and the kind of heroic spirit that is more self-reliant. Although I complain that she is reckless, I forget it in the blink of an eye and even think she is cute.

It’s also very strange that she clearly has the opposite personality to mine. It is not exaggerated to say that we are on 2 extreme ends. However, it is such extreme that give such a great attraction to me.

In a trance, he remembered what he said to her in Zhang Family Villa***, “When the road is rough, the dream of being happy in the rivers and lakes, Qin also has it.”

Maybe it’s true. I see the dream the useless me once had from her.

It is as if she sees the dream of seeking immortal in me.

So we are attracted to each other.

“Why… why don’t you talk!” Li Qingjun waited at the door until she lost all embarrassment. She stomped her feet, “Are you trying to say that it’s just to deal with Mang Zhan?”

“No.” Qin Yi finally said, “That’s true.”

“Ah… ah?” Li Qingjun, who had just jumped up, suddenly felt at a loss.

Qin Yi walked over slowly and stood in front of her. Li Qingjun, who had always been **strong, subconsciously took half a step back, stammering, “But, but I…”

“Not ready yet, are you?” Qin Yi smiled, “I know.”

Li Qingjun was taken aback for a moment. She finally looked up into his eyes. Qin Yi’s eyes were very gentle.

In fact, both sides felt exactly the same…

Her mood gradually calmed down. She stuttered, “I, I seem to like you, but… isn’t it too fast… We, we have only known each other for more than ten days… I don’t even know how old you are…”

“Yeah.” Qin Yi stretched out his hand, “Let’s have a walk?”

Li Qingjun hesitated for a moment, and she finally stretched out her hand slowly and held his hand.

There was no spark like yesterday’s handshake, nor the nervousness just now. They were calmer instead.

“I’m 16 this year, and I’ll be 17 in 3 months.” Qin Yi said slowly. The whole village knew his age, so he could only answer this way. In fact, he was a college student in his early 20s in his previous life. Apart from attending classes, he spent every day in the dormitory playing games, watching novels and watching videos, and joined various groups to copy the spam of other netizens.

In fact, Qin Yi thought that many time-traveling seniors were just like him. He didn’t know why they could completely abandon their language habits after time-traveling…

That was not important.

The important thing was that in the 2 lifetimes, this was still his first love.

Qin Yi suddenly felt a little proud. Those of you who exude the rotten smell of love in school and feed the single dogs, what is so great about you guys? My first love is the princess.

“Oh… 16, 1 year older than me.” Li Qingjun replied a little confused. In fact, she didn’t know why she asked him his age. Is there a difference between 16 and 17? Do I really think of him as some kind of rejuvenated old freak?

I just felt that it is very comfortable to hold hands with Qin Yi and stroll in this small flower garden. As long as I hold her like this, I will be very happy. It doesn’t matter whether we talk or not…

When did it start, from being angry with him to being close to him?

Is it because of his help on the way back to the capital? Or because of the intimate moment in the pit, and the unspoken understanding afterward? Li Qingjun was at a loss when she was thinking. She found that she couldn’t find the real watershed for her attitude toward him.

It seems to be like this unconsciously, a natural attraction.

She finally couldn’t help asking, “Qin Yi…”

“En?“

“Did you hate me before?”

“Not at all.” Qin Yi smiled, “From the beginning, I thought you were pretty good.”

“You think I’m pretty good for breaking into your yard so recklessly?”

“Because you look reckless, but you are very reasonable, and you didn’t mess around afterward.”

“Only that…” Li Qingjun seemed a little disappointed.

Qin Yi looked at the sky and reminisced, “I will never forget the silver light that pierced the spider beastkin in the rain, and the sentence ‘they are my people’. I think no matter how many lives I reincarnate, I will never meet such a princess again.”

A smile bloomed on Li Qingjun’s face.

“Qingjun…”

“What’s the matter?”

“You said that you don’t want to be a noble girl in the capital and be trapped for your life. I also don’t want to spend my days cautiously in this intriguing capital. Later we… Well, anyway, if the matter here is solved, let’s seek immortals, travel the world, and slay the beastkins and demons together. Do you…” Before he finished speaking, Qin Yi tapped his head in annoyance.

Am I retarded! This is a damn flag… Can I not set it randomly?

Li Qingjun didn’t know what he was upset about, so he said strangely, “You really want to travel the world? Don’t you want to hide in the mountains to live leisure live? Isn’t it more suitable for you?”

Qin Yi came back to his senses, stopped, and said seriously, “If it’s with you, I’m willing to.”

Li Qingjun also stopped and looked up into his eyes.

Qin Yi also looked down at her.

Their eyes gradually became a little blurred.

Li Qingjun was really beautiful. Qin Yi has realized it countless times. But at this time, her jade-like cheeks were blush, and her red lips were charming. Those blurred pupils were like a vortex, sucking him deeply and making him approach uncontrollably.

Li Qingjun pressed his chest lightly with 1 hand. She wanted to push him away nervously, but she found that she had no strength at all. She wanted to back up, but she couldn’t move her feet as if they were rooted.

The long eyelashes moved slightly, and she finally closed her eyes slowly.

At this moment, a black air in the mansion shot straight into the sky. Qin Yi suddenly turned his head and saw that it was in the direction of Ye Ling’s small courtyard.

“What’s going on?” Li Qingjun also quickly pushed him away with a confused look, “How can there be such an ominous thing in my brother’s mansion?”

The mansion was in chaos. There were footsteps everywhere. Qin Yi could even hear shouts coming from outside the mansion. People were approaching here quickly.

Qin Yi hurriedly asked, “After the funeral, your brother didn’t come back with you?”

Li Qingjun said, “No, he took someone with him and went somewhere mysteriously.”

“Then…” Qin Yi took a deep breath and said solemnly, “Go to the gate of the mansion and stop all outsiders who want to break in. They must not be allowed to enter the mansion when your brother is away. Hold them off until your brother comes back.”

Li Qingjun also knew that it was not the time to explore what was in her brother’s house. Dealing with outsiders was the top priority. She had always acted decisively, so without asking any further questions, she said ‘take care’ and immediately left the courtyard.

Qin Yi heaved a sigh of relief. This was the benefit of a heroic girl. If she said ‘you are hiding something from me’ and ‘you don’t love me’ at this time, it would be a headache. He went back to the house, picked up the mace, and rushed to Ye Ling’s small courtyard.

Liu Su sighed, “It’s a pity that a good show ended just like that. I haven’t seen it for tens of thousands of years…”
