Chapter 120: Let Go
As we all know, when a woman says something strange, she is most likely angry. Wei Mingqi reviewed the conversation between the two and gradually figured out the crux of the matter.

"I'm not blaming you for spending money recklessly, but I also know you don't want me to run around outside all day, so is this okay--"

Wei Mingqi said tentatively: "I will leave when I have finished eating the meat at home, and I will make sure not to waste any of it."

"..."

The sound of the kitchen knife chopping faded, and after a while a voice came from the other end: "Don't be so deliberate, just do your thing, the others and I will be able to finish the meal slowly, and at worst we can still get coal briquettes."

What's the meaning!
What he meant was that it didn't matter whether he was in the family or not! Even that bastard who only knew how to steal food could climb over his head?

If someone else said this, Wei Mingqi would definitely retort, but Xie Beiling was different. Verbal confrontation and argument were far less effective for her than another mechanism of getting along with others.

This mechanism is -

"Hey, if Li He were here, it would be great if everything outside would be peaceful and calm."

Wei Mingqi was fiddling with the stove fire with a small stick, and said absentmindedly:

"No one will disturb us, and we don't have to run around. We can spend the New Year together peacefully. Master, you can set up the stall during the day, and let Li He help you. Yu Niang will open a clothing store next to you, and Feng Guan and I will do some idle work in the market."

He didn't mention Shi Fengque.

Because everyone in the family knows that this aunt is a snowman and will melt when exposed to light. It is good enough for her to be able to take care of a child at home. Why would she need a bicycle?

"..."

This vision instantly brought Xie Beiling into it.

No one disturbs you, live peacefully.

These two words had an inexplicable attraction to her, especially when she thought of Li He mentioned by Wei Mingqi, the girl who was a good match for her, the one who was supposed to be her future apprentice according to her master's divination, and the girl who loved to laugh and make noises...

The future she had planned for the three of them at the inn seemed like a joke, and it always made her lose her mind no matter how many times she thought about it.

Although she has never regretted her decision to this day, she was the one who pushed Li He onto another trajectory of fate.

Xie Beiling doesn't expect the other party to forgive her.

So she could understand why Li He was unwilling to come back with her. It was because a thorn grew in her heart after she left Lu, which often hurt her in her dreams at midnight.

There may always be regrets in life.

Xie Beiling tried to convince herself in this way, but after returning, Wei Mingqi took over the responsibilities that originally belonged to her as a master from her and decided to bring Li He back in the future.

Therefore, the reason why he is running around and unable to find peace now is ultimately due to her, his master.

Xie Beiling is very reflective.

But understanding is understanding, what really made her unhappy was that Wei Mingqi always hid things from her. It would be fine if she said she was really powerless, but she was obviously quite capable.

“You always want to do everything behind the scenes.”

Xie Beiling trembled and whispered softly:

"I told you last time when Yu Niang was here, if you don't admit your mistakes and correct them, I will sever the master-disciple relationship with you. Even though I said that, you didn't take it to heart."

He didn't know if it was an illusion, but Wei Mingqi actually heard a hint of grievance in her tone, and his heart trembled slightly.

I feel a little guilty, but it is impossible to reflect on it.

He just bullies Xie Beiling and it is impossible for him to really sever the master-disciple relationship with him, so he usually only reports good news and not bad news.

As for the reason...

"Do you still remember the time when you held me in your arms and we fought our way out of the chaotic enemy group, and we found a cave to stay in at night, and I bandaged you?"

"..."

Xie Beiling's movements slowed down.

Wei Mingqi stared at her back and said, "At that time, your back was full of knife wounds, and the skin and flesh were rolled up and even white. I was thinking at that time, when I grow up and practice martial arts well, no one can touch you again." "Later, I tried to please that old man Wanrenshan in the palace, and he taught me the Eight Gates to Subdue Demons. That thing is not for humans to practice. Many eunuchs leaked urine while practicing. Every time I almost couldn't stand, I thought of you and the injuries you suffered for me. I gritted my teeth and stood for five years. Now I finally practiced it."

"I found you after I left the palace, and you still think I'm like a child who never grows up. It's fine if you thought so before I practiced martial arts, but now that I've practiced martial arts, you still think so. Then all the hardship I've endured in the past five years has been in vain?"

"..."

Xie Beiling was quite touched when she first listened to the first half, but the tone of this evil disciple became more and more aggressive as he listened to the end, as if he was accusing her as his master of being "ignorant". It was really infuriating to hear good words turned into bad ones.

So the woman turned around and asked, "Now that you are so powerful, isn't it time for you to become a master?"

"Not even a bit—"

The evil disciple in front of the stove said confidently:
"Although I am very good at martial arts now, my life is a mess and I don't understand the ways of the world. This is all due to your absence during my growth. I have to make up for this in the future."

"..."

If they weren't master and disciple, Xie Beiling really wanted to chop his face with a knife. Anyway, his thick skin couldn't be cut off, so it was better to let her vent her anger.

"There's no point in staring—"

Wei Mingqi said confidently: "You have already experienced all the sufferings and worries you should have in this life in the first half of your life. From now on, you should stay at home and enjoy your peace and quiet. Your beloved disciple will take care of the affairs outside."

"..."

Snapped--

After chopping the knife on the chopping board, Xie Beiling took off her apron and turned to leave. Seeing this, Wei Mingqi snorted and said:
"You're still putting down your burden. If you don't do it, I'll do it."

"..."

Xie Beiling, who was already full of anger, stopped and glanced at him coldly. Seeing that he dared to blink his eyes and look playful, she finally took two steps forward and popped his chestnut with her finger.

"hiss--"

She always hit people on the head with great force. Wei Mingqi grimaced in pain and couldn't help but put his arms around her slender waist.

"Let go!"

"pain--"

Seeing him acting like a scoundrel, Xie Beiling pinched his face with his other hand and gnashed his teeth:
"Let go!"

"pain--"

"..."

Seeing him like a piece of plasticine, Xie Beiling's chest rose and fell. If someone else provoked her like this, she would just chop him up with a sword, but Wei Mingqi...

It really makes people feel sad and grit their teeth. All the emotions mixed together form a state of helplessness.

"Master, please don't blame me."

Feeling the soft and smooth belly rising faster and faster, the young man who was burying his head in her belly suddenly said in a muffled voice:

"I am a selfish person. I always think about being at ease outside and ignore your feelings at home. But you are my master after all. Just let me do what I want this time."

"..."

The force of twisting his face gradually weakened, and soon, the hand turned to rub the head in front of him. Xie Beiling sighed lightly, half absent-mindedly:
"In this world, there is no master who would resent his own apprentice."

"Master, you are so kind."

"Well, let go."

"..."

　I have sorted out the outline a little bit, and there will be a super long chapter (at least 5,000 words) in the early morning, which is expected to be written until the morning, so you can read it after you get up.
