Chapter 25 Winter Festival

Yin Qi suddenly had no intention of practicing. She left Meng Ping and turned to find Song Chen.

Through the quiet forest path, Yin Qi discovered him under a huge ancient tree.

Song Chen did not sit quietly and practice. He was using the Qi-control technique to gather the fallen leaves all over the ground into balls in the air, and the smile that children only had when they were having fun was revealed at the corner of his mouth.

Seeing Yin Qi coming, he removed the magic, and the gathered leaves suddenly scattered, and a "leaves rain" started.

"Senior Brother Song is in great interest!" Yin Qi said with a smile.

"Just entertain yourself," Song Chen stood among the slowly falling leaves, looking a little lonely, "Isn't it very good?"

"Well, it looks good." Yin Qi paused, thinking about how to test Song Chen. She said carefully: "I met a friend in Qingluan Pavilion. She was the first apprentice there, named Jiang Yuenu. Does the senior brother know her?"

Song Chen's face was not abnormal, but he still looked calm. "I did see many women in the pavilion at the witch festival, but most of them looked from afar and never remembered their names."

The witch festival meeting once a year, and many apprentices from the East Court will show up at that time, while the girls in Qingluan Pavilion are mainly responsible for performing their skills. Seeing that Song Chen was not lying at all, Yin Qi's expectations were reduced by half. It seems that he is not a companion of Yin Tingxuan and Jiang Yuenu.

"Why ask me about this person?"

"Jiang Yuenu said she had seen you, so I asked me to help you ask if you still remember?"

The lies came out, Yin Qi felt that her ability to lie recently was getting bigger and bigger. Wouldn't she be plucked if she went to hell in the future?

Song Chen shook his head, not interested in the fact that he had admirers, "I have no impression of it at all."

Yin Qi suddenly felt a little reckless at this moment, so why did she come over to ask Song Chen in such a hurry? It’s a pity that people are suspicious. In the future, they will have to instruct Yue Nu to fulfill this lie together. It’s really troublesome!

She quickly opened the topic and talked with Song Chen about the method of improving Qi Control.

In the Qingluan Pavilion in the afternoon, Jiang Yuenu heard that Yin Qi was lying and arranged her in, and said laughing and crying: "For no reason, I have become someone else's admirer. If it is spread, what do you want me to do?"

Yin Qi affirmed: "Senior Brother Song is not that kind of person, he will not tell others."

Jiang Yuenu raised her eyebrows and teased, "I think the real admirer is actually you!" Seeing Yin Qi's face suddenly turned red, she became more convinced of her judgment, "You like him very much, so I hope he will be our companion, right?"

Yin Qi didn't answer, and her mind was in chaos.

Do you really like Song Chen? How much do you like it? When did it start?

"Oh!" Jiang Yuenu sighed and advised: "Don't think about it. You obviously like others. Although you are a spiritual disciple, you are also a girl. Why don't you even know who you like?"

Yin Qi still refused to answer. She lowered her head and slowly accepted the emotion in her heart. Many things before suddenly became clear. It turned out that she had always had a good impression of Song Chen.

But what if she likes it? She must escape from the Yin family, and her determination will not change no matter what.

"If you can't let him go, we can consider convinced Song Chen to join, but the premise is that your relationship must be deep enough."

Deep feelings? Yin Qi smiled and felt that Jiang Yuenu was thinking too much and too far away. Moreover, Yin Qi understood very well that Song Chen had no affection for her, and this was just a love affair.

She smiled and said, "I can let go. In my heart, nothing is more important than escaping."

Jiang Yuenu was very happy that Yin Qi could answer like this. She had not had much time to escape, and what she feared the most now was variables.

After seeing the pros and cons, Yin Qi repeatedly warned herself in the past few days to give up her thoughts on Song Chen and practice Qi Control Technique even harder.

Yin Tingxiu also realized that she had consumed more energy than before and advised: "Everything will turn back when extreme, don't work too hard!"

Yin Qi nodded and agreed, but she didn't care, so she planned to do whatever she wanted. Because as long as she became busy, she would not have time to think about Song Chen.

Yin Tingxiu said again: "In a few days it will be the Winter Festival. The apprentices in the East Court will have a day off. Do you want to stay at home to celebrate or go out with me?"

"Will we leave the house? Aren't the 'heart-drawing man' not caught yet?"

"My father searched for half a month and said that the man had escaped from the city, so he withdrew his man. But don't worry," Yin Tingxiu said confidently, "Even if there are still 'heart-punching people', as long as I'm here, they will never succeed."

Yin Qi is not worried about "heart-punching people" at all, she cares about another thing.

"I want to go, but I still think it's safer to have more people, and it's best to be from Shenhu Hall."

"Then I will call Baiyin and Master Yang. Is this enough?"

Yin Qi nodded. What she wanted was the opportunity to meet Yang Cheng so that she could ask him the cause of Ali's death.

When it comes to going out for fun, Yin Tingxiu's mood suddenly improved a lot. He told Yin Qi how the apprentices in the East Court celebrated the Winter Festival.

In mid-November, the Winter Festival is both the end of the yin and the beginning of the yang energy. It is considered to be the second only to the witch festival and the New Year Festival in Zhaohua City. Apprentices can not only rest on this day, but also eat dumplings. Some of the high-end ones can even leave the house after obtaining the permission of Yin Zhengchuan or Sun Xiaozhi, and others will ask them to bring in for themselves.

What surprised Yin Qi was that there were not many people who could leave the palace. Even Meng Ping obtained such qualifications last year and brought a bunch of things in for others.

Yin Qi asked, "Don't the spiritual disciples have weak desires? What will they buy?"

"The weak desire does not mean there is no desire! If a person has no thoughts, why are he still alive?" Yin Tingxiu looked clear, "Every time the things he brought in are all kinds of things, and they may not necessarily use them, most of them out of curiosity."

Yin Qi understood. Most of the apprentices have been in the East Courtyard since childhood, almost inseparable from them. They must have wanted to see the world outside.

As a woman, her situation is actually not very different from those of the apprentices. Yin Qi thought, if she was not a spiritual disciple and without such a brother who cared about her, how many opportunities would she have to go outside the high wall in her life?

The girls in Qingluan Pavilion are even more miserable. Once they come in, they will not have the chance to leave the mansion except being taken away by the nobles.

Yin Qi suddenly felt that these young men and girls were a little pitiful. On the surface, they were apprentices from the Yin family and had no worries about food and clothing, but they were not free and were not much different from prisoners.

Jiang Yuenu is so precious here. She would rather be displaced than control her future life and never be merciless.

Before the Winter Festival, A Si went to Uncle Ya's place to bring news to Yin Qi and Jiang Yuenu, and the authenticity was completed!

The plan to run away from home has been half completed. Next, I will only think about how to sneak out of the mansion.

The two of them thought about it again and again. If it were normal, there would be no chance at all, but by the witch festival meeting, everything would be different.

At that time, Zhaohua City will open its gates and welcome guests from all over the world. Apprentices from the East Courtyard will also be called out to attend various celebration ceremonies and meet noble people from all over the world.

With so many people and mixed hands, they would not be so conspicuous if they did anything, and it was a good time to escape.

Once they succeed, after the two arrived at Shanyin City, Yin Qi planned to go to Yan Kingdom.

Compared with the turbulent situation in the southwest, Yan Kingdom has been in peace recently. Besides, her mother's hometown is there, Yin Qi really wants to go and take a look. However, even if she gets there, she will never recognize the Gu family.

Jiang Yuenu had a different idea. She planned to go north directly to Yaoguo.

The place where Yao Kingdom is located is the original Qingzhou. Qingzhou originally belonged to Yan Kingdom. During the Shanyin Rebellion, it was influenced by the neighboring Yizhou and became in chaos for a while. The county magistrate of Yueyao County took the opportunity to unite a tribe of the Mu tribe, captured various parts of Qingzhou in one fell swoop, and then established the country and became emperor.

The Yao Kingdom has been trying to annex the southwest and has been in constant friction with several small countries here. However, because the power of the herd tribe always wants to infiltrate, the Yao Kingdom has not taken any advantage due to internal concerns.

"Are you really planning to go to Yao Country? I heard that there are many herdsmen there, and it is not stable." Yin Qi said worriedly.

Jiang Yuenu didn't care, "The herds are also humans, what's so scary? My adoptive mother is the herds."

Yin Qi was shocked. She always felt that the world of the herd tribe seemed to be far away from her, but she didn't expect that there would be one in Zhaohua City.

"The herds and people love to make wine," Jiang Yuenu looked longing, "I plan to open a small shop there and sell wine to make a living."
