Cypress Boat Floating

Chapter 222 Recruitment 2

Embarrassment, like a heavy haze, enveloped the surrounding air.

However, there is a unique kind of embarrassment - when others are embarrassed, you are not embarrassed. It is with this belief that Ye Jianqing can sit steadily in this not-so-big yard and leisurely taste the sour jujube cake made by Chi Yu. Although the chef opposite, who had long wanted to kick her out, glared at her, she remained calm.

"Oh my, Chi Yu's cooking skills are so superb! The food he makes is simply intoxicating." Ye Jianqing praised Chi Yu generously, but it was obvious that these words of praise did not change Chi Yu's bad attitude towards her.

Chi Yu's face was still gloomy, and he had no reaction to Ye Jianqing's words. His attitude even became worse: "Get out after eating!"

However, Ye Jianqing didn't seem to care about Chi Yu's indifference. Instead, she deliberately provoked him, "Is Mr. Chi Yu so cold-blooded? Why are you so anxious to get me away?" The corners of her mouth rose slightly with a playful smile.

Chi Yu's eyes widened with anger, and he glared at her fiercely. But Ye Jianqing ignored him and even made a naughty face at him. This action made Chi Yu so angry that he almost couldn't help but grab the knife in his hand and throw it at her. If he hadn't considered that Murong Zhixu was sitting next to him, I'm afraid that the sharp knife would have been inserted into Ye Jianqing's head at this moment.

"Xiaoqing, stop it!" Murong Zhixu stopped Ye Jianqing's childish and ridiculous behavior with a helpless look on his face.

Over the years, he had more or less understood Chi Yu, so he naturally understood that she was extremely upset at the moment, not only because she was angry at the decision he had just made, but also because he could not stop her. If Ye Jianqing continued to tease her, Chi Yu would really lose control of herself and chase her with a knife to chop her.

Murong Zhixu secretly compared the fighting power of Ye Jianqing and Chi Yu in his heart. After some careful consideration, he couldn't help but sigh: "Well... Chi Yu is indeed better!" To be honest, Chi Yu is indeed very powerful.

Looking back to the past, Chi Yu miraculously escaped from the pursuit of half of the Jianghu, and saved himself who was in danger of death. However, over the years, because they have been enjoying a peaceful and peaceful life together, working from sunrise to sunset every day, and staying away from the hustle and bustle of the Jianghu, Chi Yu seems quite ordinary.

After thinking about it, Murong Zhixu thought that Ye Jianqing's invitation was probably not just for his help, but also because he saw Chi Yu's ability. Although Chi Yu had never shown his martial arts in front of Ye Jianqing, from Murong Zhixu's understanding, Ye Jianqing's understanding of Chi Yu might be much deeper than the surface.

Although she only seemed to be casually proposing that he should join her organization, she had probably already made up her mind deep down: as long as he nodded and agreed, Chi Yu would definitely not be able to escape from her palm! Thinking of this, Murong Zhixu couldn't help laughing. He secretly sighed: "Ye Jianqing, Ye Jianqing, you are really smart! You can actually grasp the lifeblood of me and Chi Yu so accurately..."

Originally, this matter was full of endless dangers. If he was not careful, he might be trapped in the quagmire of the Jianghu disputes again. What was worse was that he would be hunted down by the evildoers of the Shenling Cult. However, facing such a difficult situation, Ye Jianqing was not afraid at all. Instead, she boldly made an invitation in person. Obviously, she must have seen through his true thoughts.

Thinking back to the past, because of his lack of strength and helplessness, he was hunted down by the Gods and Spirits Cult and disappeared, far away from the rivers and lakes, and spent his days chatting in this small bamboo house. But times have changed, and now the court has issued an imperial decree to investigate the Gods and Spirits Cult. At this good opportunity, Ye Jianqing came to invite him to join, how could he easily miss it? So, no matter from which angle he considered it, this time he would definitely not refuse the olive branch thrown by the other party.

Chi Yu knew it in his heart, but he just couldn't bear to see himself get hurt again.

Murong Zhixu sighed heavily, he turned around slowly, his eyes that had lost the light were still able to accurately capture the direction of Chi Yu, then he stood up resolutely, as if he had made up his mind to find Chi Yu and have a good talk.

"Xiaoqing, wait for me for a moment. I'm going to go talk to Chi Yu." Murong Zhixu said softly, with a hint of determination on his face.

"Okay, go ahead! You two have to communicate well." Ye Jianqing nodded in understanding, smiled and waved, signaling Murong Zhixu to hurry over.

At this moment, the kitchen was filled with smoke and the fire in the stove was burning fiercely, as if it was going to set the whole space on fire. Chi Yu was venting all his dissatisfaction and anger on the food. The sound of cooking was deafening, even louder than the sound of gongs and drums.

When Murong Zhixu walked into the kitchen, Chi Yu noticed it at a glance, but he did not intend to talk to Murong Zhixu, obviously still angry. His movements were slightly gentler, but still with obvious resentment.

Obviously, he was somewhat happy that Murong Zhixu took the initiative to come to him, but he was still very angry about the idea of ​​taking risks. His mouth pursed, and he was not willing to take the initiative to communicate with Murong Zhixu.

"Xiaoyu..." Murong Zhixu called softly, his voice full of concern and helplessness. As for the kitchen, Chi Yu had always forbidden him to enter. After all, the kitchen was filled with all kinds of knives, and Chi Yu was afraid that he would be bumped into or even hurt by accidentally touching a knife.

Although Chi Yu was angry with him, she kept her eyes on Murong Zhixu's every move, fearing that he would get hurt. But her tone was still stiff and cold when she spoke: "Why are you standing here? There is no place for you in the kitchen!"

Murong Zhixu's mouth curled up slightly after hearing this. Although he was blind, his profound martial arts skills were still there, so he could clearly feel that Chi Yu's worried eyes had never left him. "Chi Yu, you are really a person with a sharp tongue but a soft heart, and you don't mean what you say." Murong Zhixu thought to himself, and his love for Chi Yu became stronger.

"Don't be angry anymore. What if you get sick from anger?" Murong Zhixu comforted him softly.

"I'm not angry. How can I be angry? If you insist on going, then go ahead. After all, this is your own decision. I am not your relative. How can I influence the famous Master Qin? How dare I let Master Qin stay alone in my small temple?" When this matter was mentioned, Chi Yu was still indignant and spoke with a bit of sarcasm.

Murong Zhixu scratched his head innocently, not knowing what to do. He just wanted to try to grope his way to his side to comfort him and explain his intentions to him. However, just as he took a step, he was stopped by Chi Yu: "Stop, don't move. Don't you know how dangerous it is in the kitchen? Get out quickly, or you will get hurt." His words were full of anxiety.

"Xiaoyu, can you listen to me and have a good chat with you?" Murong Zhixu followed Chi Yu's words and stood still, but he didn't leave. Chi Yu looked at the man in front of him, feeling helpless and distressed. He pursed his lips and said unhappily, "What do you want to talk about? What's there to talk about?"

Murong Zhixu sighed softly and said in a low voice: "Let's talk about why I agreed to join this operation. Xiaoyu, you should know me. I am not a person who acts impulsively and without a plan. You have to believe that I must have made this decision after careful consideration."

Chi Yu moved his nose and tried to control his emotions. In fact, he knew that although Murong Zhixu was obsessed with the art of playing the zither, he was definitely not a stupid person. Otherwise, how could he have survived in such a dangerous environment? However, when he thought of Murong Zhixu, who was covered in blood and on the verge of death, Chi Yu could not think calmly.

He knew that he was so flustered because he was too worried about Murong Zhixu's safety. If possible, he would rather Murong Zhixu never experience such a dangerous thing again in his life. "I just want you to be well." Chi Yu gritted his teeth, swallowed the bitterness in his mouth with difficulty, and said softly.

This simple sentence contained endless affection and concern. Murong Zhixu was shocked. Chi Yu really cared about him, and this feeling was also his hope to survive.

Murong Zhixu said solemnly, "I know you are doing this for my own good, but if the Divine Spirit Cult is not eliminated, I will be restless all day and unable to sleep at night. I am also worried that if the Divine Spirit Cult knows that I am still alive one day and comes to me, how will you and I deal with the entire martial arts world then?"

Chi Yu bit his lower lip tightly and remained silent. In fact, he understood everything Murong Zhixu said, but...

"Xiaoyu, only by eradicating the Divine Spirit Cult and restoring my good reputation can you and I walk in the world with integrity, without hiding our heads and tails, or hiding in the mountains. Then, we can travel the world together and do what we want without distraction."

The picture described by Murong Zhixu was very beautiful, and that was also the life Chi Yu had once dreamed of. However, once it involved Murong Zhixu, he would inevitably be more cautious: "How do you know that Ye Jianqing is trustworthy?"

"It's just a hunch." Murong Zhi smiled: "Xiao Qing gave me a hunch that made me feel that her existence could change a lot of things. I don't know whether it's true or not, but I want to take a gamble. If I lose, the worst that can happen is that I lose my life. If I win, then everyone will be happy, right?"

"I'll think about it again."

In fact, he had already thought a lot before Murong Zhixu came in. He would have agreed without Murong Zhixu saying anything. It was just a matter of time and whether it was voluntary.

But it is undeniable that he really benefited from what Murong Zhixu said to him with all his heart, but his personality prevented him from agreeing so quickly. Tsundere people always have to be awkward.

Murong Zhixu knew his personality and didn't say much. He smiled and left the kitchen. He thought he could give Ye Jianqing the good news.
