Against the Fate

The little boy stood in front of He Qianli and said, "Uncle Taishi invites you to Qingdu Peak Bamboo Forest."

He Qianli: "No."

After coming out of the Eastern Secret Realm, He Qianli moved out of Qingdu Peak.Fortunately, he worshiped under the old man in the mountain. The old man in the mountain is the supreme elder of Taixuanzong, and he can give his apprentice a mountain at will.

This mountain was also a mountain that was given to him by the elder Taishang when He Qianli broke through the heartbeat period.At that time, I entered the Eastern Secret Realm before moving here, and came back in such a hurry that the living environment was very simple.

He Qianli has been hiding from Xie Zhanliu for seven days.

Xiaotong was quite surprised, the whole Taixuanzong knew that this little master uncle liked to provoke the grand master uncle very much.If the relationship between Grand Master Uncle and Fairy Nihong had not spread throughout the cultivation world, they would all have thought that Junior Master Uncle had pursued Grand Master Uncle.

Unexpectedly, after returning from the Eastern Secret Realm, the little master uncle moved out of Qingdu Peak uncharacteristically.Now even the grand master's uncle's invitation is refused.

The little boy pondered for a moment, and suddenly realized: "Could it be that the little master uncle is worried that the grand master uncle and Fairy Nihong will form a Taoist couple and ignore you?"

"What nonsense?" He Qianli frowned: "Xie Zhanliu ignores me, what does it have to do with me?"

"Why did the little master uncle only notice that the grand master uncle ignored you? Why didn't the little master uncle call him senior brother?"

He Qianli has always been neither big nor small, and he can get along well with the servants in the door.So the boy dared to ask.

He Qianli was annoyed: "Who told you to talk so much nonsense? Go back and tell Xie Zhanliu to leave me alone!"

"Why does it feel like a mortal husband and wife are having conflicts?" Xiao Tong muttered in a low voice.

He Qianli was furious, and suddenly remembered what called Xiaotong to stop: "What do you mean Xie Zhanliu and Fairy Nihong are going to form a Taoist couple?"

"That's what people say outside."

"Hmph, I heard that the wind is rain, so the rumors are unbelievable."

"But it's said that Fairy Nihong gave birth to two children for Grand Master Uncle!"

"Fart! That's mine—" Facing Xiao Tong's curious eyes, He Qianli was speechless: "In short, the child's mother is not Fairy Nihong, there is someone else. Go and refute the rumors."

Child: "Who is that?"

"How do I know?! If you are told to refute the rumors, you can go. Anyway, anyone is possible, but Fairy Nihong is impossible."

The little boy muttered: "Anyone is possible... Could it be possible for my little master and uncle too?"

He Qianli: "!!!"

After the little boy left, He Qianli paced back and forth in his cave, thinking about the relationship between Xie Zhanliu and Fairy Nihong.Are the two really going to be a couple?What about his two precious sons?

Do you want to call Fairy Nihong the stepmother?

He used to see in the mortal world that many stepmothers from rich families were not good to their children. Although he didn't like their children calling him 'mother', he felt uncomfortable when he thought of the child being forced to call others 'mother' .

He Qianli thought about it, and decided to go to Qingdu Peak and discuss it with Xie Zhanliu. If he wants to become a Taoist couple, then let him bring the child.

Outside the bamboo forest of Qingdu Peak, the little boy said respectfully, "I'm reporting to Grand Master Uncle, I have mentioned Fairy Nihong in front of my Junior Master Uncle."

"Hmm. How did Qianli react?"

"Annoyed without knowing it."

"Go down."

"Yes."

Not long after Xiaotong left, He Qianli hurried over, but hesitated outside the bamboo forest again.He didn't want to see Xie Zhanliu, it was too embarrassing.But when I came here, I found that I missed my two children very much.

He took a deep breath, sneaked into the bamboo forest, and found that the restriction of the bamboo forest had disappeared.He probed a little, and found that it wasn't the ban that disappeared, but that the ban ignored him and allowed him to come and go as he pleased.

The bamboo forest is Xie Zhanliu's cave, so the meaning of this move is self-evident.

He Qianli curled his lips and muttered, "Even if there is a restriction, I can untie it myself."

Hiding outside the bamboo house and peeking in secretly, he found that Xie Zhanliu was rolling up his long sleeves and painting against the window, with a serious side face, as if he didn't notice his arrival.He Qianli hesitated for a moment, then tiptoed past Xie Zhanliu and ran into the sons' room.

Xie Zhanliu suddenly looked back at He Qianli's back, smiled, and looked down at the painting on the table.In the painting is a family of four in harmony, surrounded by bamboo forests, with a bamboo house in the background.

After pondering for a moment, Xie Zhanliu drew a few strokes on the painting with a brush. The figure in the painting, whose brows and eyes resembled He Qianli's, had a swollen abdomen, forming a family of five.

The two children were taking a nap, and He Qianli sat and watched, occasionally leaning down to kiss them.The eldest son spread his limbs, revealing his chubby belly, smashing his little mouth, probably meeting something delicious in a dream.The youngest son was more obedient. After sleeping for a while, he rubbed his eyes and woke up suddenly. Seeing He Qianli in a daze, he stretched out two short hands: "Mother, hug me."

He Qianli raised his index finger: "Shh." Then he picked up the younger son and played with him for a while, and then the older son woke up and played with him for a while.By the time he regained consciousness, it was getting late.

He was about to leave, but the two sons hugged his legs and refused to let him go.He Qianli could only coax them: "Hey, I'll come see you tomorrow."

"No, I want my mother to accompany me."

"Be good, be obedient. I...mother is busy." After coaxing the two children, He Qianli hurriedly left the bamboo house, but was stopped by Xie Zhanliu when he stepped out of the bamboo house.

Xie Zhanliu looked at him coldly, and said in a gentle tone for a while, "Let's stay for dinner."

He Qianli frowned and looked at him: "I've already fasted, so I don't need to eat."

"The freshly steamed whitebait and your favorite red fruit."

He Qianli was stunned for a moment: "How can Qingdu Peak have the whitebait and red fruit in the small secret realm?"

Xie Zhanliu smiled, raised his hand and pulled He Qianli's hand tentatively, seeing that he didn't shake it off, he said: "When I came back, I went to catch some whitebait to raise, and dug a red fruit tree to plant."

"That's when—"

When they were about to leave the small secret realm, Xie Zhanliu said he had something to do.It turned out to be doing these things.

He Qianli whispered: "You don't need to do these, it doesn't matter if you can't eat them."

Xie Zhanliu: "The Eastern Secret Realm opens once every 30 years, and if you want to eat in the future, you have to wait 30 years."

"Cultivation has no time, I am not afraid to wait."

"I care." Xie Zhanliu turned his head and met He Qianli's gaze with lowered eyes: "I don't want you to wait."

He Qianli's heart moved, he avoided Xie Zhanliu's gaze, and said in a whisper: "Senior brother..."

Xie Zhanliu chuckled lightly: "No more names?"

He Qianli didn't call him senior brother since the night in the little secret realm.

He Qianli shrank back as if his heart had been burned.Seeing that his hand was still holding Xie Zhanliu, he wanted to break free.Xie Zhanliu held him even tighter, and led him into the bamboo house: "Come in, the fish is getting cold."

He Qianli couldn't speak his refusal, went in and ate whitebait and red fruit, and played with the two children for a while.When he was about to leave, Xie Zhanliu said lightly: "It's getting late, why don't you stay in the bamboo house. The room has been prepared for you."

He Qianli wanted to refuse: "I..."

Xie Zhanliu: "The children haven't seen you for seven days. They never left you for such a long time when they were in the small secret realm. They miss you very much, and Baby Dan cried too much because of you and got sick."

Dan Baobao is obviously playful and catches cold from playing in water.But Xie Zhanliu lied without batting an eyelid, and it turned out that He Qianli stayed in distress.
