Chapter 61 If she leaves...
Song Qinghua summoned a servant and, in front of everyone, asked him to urge Song Qingyang to hurry up. Song Qingyang looked calm, as if it were the most normal thing in the world.
The Tong family head was puzzled. Looking at Song Qinghua's expression, he wondered if the information he had received was incorrect.
When the servant led Song Qingyang to the front yard, the Tong family head completely gave up hope.
"Master Tong, you can rest assured now," Song Qinghua said with a smile. "My relationship with my younger brother is harmonious, and the rumors outside are all just rumors."
He patted Song Qingyang on the shoulder, and Song Qingyang affectionately called him "Big Brother".
"It is said that rumors stop with the wise. Patriarch Tong should not easily believe rumors spread by outsiders."
The Tong family head's face turned pale, but he managed to put on a brave face and laugh to hide his embarrassment.
“Patriarch Song is right. I was being too attached to appearances.”
The commotion passed with a laugh, and the music and dancing continued in the front yard. Yun Zhao sat by the window of the house and lazily yawned.
"Sleepy?"
She felt a weight on her shoulder and turned around to see Qi Yan draping a coat over her shoulders.
"How about we go and rest for a while?"
Bai Lingxiao and Xiaotong have already left, leaving only the two of them in the house. They will leave once the commotion in the front yard starts.
"I'm not sleepy, just a little bored."
Yun Zhao touched the fluffy clothes and suddenly felt that Qi Yan had changed a lot.
She remembered that when she first rescued Qi Yan from the dungeon, this man still regarded her as an enemy, but now...
Yun Zhao rested his chin on his hand and pondered, "Is this what you call a vicious wolf turning into a loyal dog?"
She secretly touched Qi Yan's hair that fell in front of him. The man squatted down and looked up at her. He didn't know when it started, but all he could see was her reflection.
Yun Zhao suddenly felt a little guilty.
She's just here to complete a mission; she'll leave once it's finished, and then Qi Yan...
Yun Zhao dared not think about it.
While lost in thought, she suddenly felt an itch in her hand. Looking down, she saw a strand of dark hair stuffed into her hand.
“I’m being generous,” Qi Yan moved closer to her, “I’ll let you touch me.”
Yun Zhao ruffled his hair without any hesitation.
"Oh, right," Qi Yan waved his hand and took out a Go set, "Want to kill some time?"
Yun Zhao snorted, "It's not helping me relieve boredom, it's clearly making me depressed."
They occasionally had recreational activities while in the Southern Forest. Yun Zhao had originally been looking forward to the entertainment of the cultivation world, but what he didn't expect was...
Go.
Yun Zhao is good at other things, but this is really difficult for her.
What's infuriating is that Qi Yan didn't know how to play either, but he learned after watching others play a round.
Qi Yan couldn't help but chuckle, "I'll teach you."
Yun Zhao refused: "I won't learn it. I've already learned it so many times, but I still can't learn it."
"Really? I don't believe it."
He pulled Yun Zhao to sit at the table and explained the rules of Go to her in detail, breaking them down into pieces, much like feeding her food.
After explaining it several times, Yun Zhao finally said with confidence that she understood.
“It’s not that difficult,” Yun Zhao said enthusiastically. “Come on, let’s give it a try.”
Qi Yan restrained himself and played against her, letting the water level drop so high it could support a giant deep-sea whale. This was even more difficult than beating a master.
However, seeing Yun Zhao's serious and excited face, he curled up the corners of his mouth and put more and more water in his hand, making it more and more subtle.
Winning easily is far less enjoyable than winning after a fierce battle. Qi Yan suddenly longed to see a smile, brighter than the sun, bloom on Yun Zhao's small face.
"Hahaha, I won!"
Yun Zhao stood with his hands on his hips, his smile practically reaching for the sky, shoulder to shoulder with the sun.
She excitedly hugged Qi Yan, then called out Fu Guang and told it about her excitement.
Fu Guang, who had just fallen asleep: "..."
Meow?
Qi Yan was stunned for a long time before finally pulling Fu Guang out of Yun Zhao's arms and throwing her into the sword. "Alright, alright, I think it's about time. Let's move out."
He would never admit that he was a little jealous of Fu Guang, who could be held in Yun Zhao's arms at will.
Why did you only hug him once?
Ayan felt wronged, but she didn't say anything.
Fu Guang, thrown back into the sword: "..."
Is anyone there?
Qi Yan led Yun Zhao through the Song family compound. He found a tree with a view of the entire front yard and placed Yun Zhao on it.
“This is a great spot,” Yun Zhao nestled in Qi Yan’s arms, finding a comfortable position. “I want to watch the show later.”
"See?" A hint of doting affection, which even he himself was unaware of, flashed in Qi Yan's eyes. "Would you like some popcorn?"
He carried the popcorn he had prepared earlier and placed it in a spot where Yun Zhao could easily reach it.
"Thank you, Ayan. You can have the first one."
This was prepared by Xiaotong. Before she left, she made a lot of food. The main meal was given to Yun Zhao, while the snacks were given to Qi Yan.
Qi Yan remembered that Xiao Tong asked him to keep an eye on Yun Zhao and tell him not to eat snacks all the time, as it was bad for his health.
He tilted his head and took the popcorn Yun Zhao offered him, saying, "It's so sweet."
Yun Zhao tasted it and said, "Hmm, it is indeed very sweet."
No one knew what Qi Yan had done, and the people in the front yard were unaware of their presence.
As the banquet was drawing to a close, someone asked, "Didn't Song Qinghua say he had found the person who impersonated him and framed him as an evil practitioner? They wanted to meet him."
"Please be patient, everyone," Song Qinghua said with a smile. "I'll have someone bring him here right away."
He clapped his hands, and a moment later, two guards returned, escorting a man back.
The man was dressed in a black robe and wore a mask. His figure was similar to the one everyone had seen.
"Everyone, please take a look."
Song Qinghua signaled to the guards to remove the mask from the man's face. When his true face was revealed to the crowd, gasps of surprise rose and fell.
That face was almost exactly the same as Song Qinghua's!
The only thing that distinguishes them is a faint scar on Song Qinghua's face.
Song Qinghua touched his left cheek. "Speaking of which, this scar was left when I was fighting against the demon race. Even the best scar removal cream couldn't remove it. I never thought it would become evidence to prove my innocence."
The He family were staunch supporters of the Song family, and the head of the He family was the first to speak: "I always said that the head of the Song family could not be an evil cultivator, and now the truth has finally come out."
"Patriarch Song is a hero in our cultivation world. It's really wrong to let a hero be humiliated for the sake of an evil cultivator."
These words caused embarrassment and guilt to appear on everyone's faces. Just as someone bent down to apologize to Song Qinghua, Song Qinghua used his spiritual power to support him, saying, "It's alright, it's alright. You are all doing this for the safety of Demon Subduing City, I can understand."
After saying that, he looked at the head of the Tong family, "Now, is the head of the Tong family relieved?"
"I'm relieved," the Tong family head smiled. "Now that the Song family head has found the mastermind, I can rest easy."
Song Qinghua also smiled, waved his hand, and ordered his men to take the man back.
Up in the tree, Yun Zhao exclaimed in surprise, "Besides twins, are there really people in the world who look exactly alike?"
Even twins have slight differences, but as she carefully examined Song Qinghua and the man in black robes, their faces were exactly the same!
