My enemies became my companions

Chapter 320 I Will Get Old
As soon as the nun entered the door, she sat on the chair familiarly. Yin Tingxue brought her some tea, and she thanked her cousin in a low voice.

With her head lowered, staring at the tea, Yin Weiying took a deep breath, waited for Chen Yi nervously, and then...

When she thought of this, even though it had happened several times before, her cheeks still turned red and her thighs trembled.

But now, she was no longer so resistant to this matter, so Yin Weiying finally let out a breath of air.

Then she turned her eyes and saw the invitation that Chen Yi had placed on the coffee table.

Staring at the invitation with a blue background and gold embossing from Prince Jing's Mansion, Yin Weiying was slightly distracted.

Is he really going to go... to meet his parents?
After a long while, Yin Weiying curled his lips, half bitter and half absurd. To his parents, she had inexplicably become his concubine. Every time she had a day off, she would come to this courtyard under the pretext of discussing Taoism somewhere else.

How can I face my parents like this?

Moreover, he was afraid that his father and mother would not give him a good look when he got there. After all, Chen Yi was still a thorn in the side of Prince Jing's Mansion.

Just when she had some thoughts, she heard the man's footsteps. Her heart instantly tightened and she sat up straighter.

Chen Yi walked out from behind the screen. When Yin Weiying saw him, he didn't know what expression to make, so he had to stand up to greet him.

"You're here?" Chen Yi said softly, looking at the elegant and graceful nun.

I have a lot of doubts about her right now.

Yin Weiying didn't know what Chen Yi was thinking, so he gritted his teeth and said:

"Didn't you ask me to come?"

If she hadn't been unable to disobey this ignorance in her heart, why would she come here every day off and do things that many women would not be willing to do...

Seeing Chen Yi looking at her without saying anything, Yin Weiying didn't understand what was going on. Then she thought of something and took out a jade pendant from her arms.

"What you want."

Chen Yi lowered his eyes and saw that it was clearly a place used by the people in the mountains to store things. She had indeed brought it here, so he took it and said:
"Thanks."

“You’re welcome…”

Yin Weiying looked at him, then lowered his eyes. After shrinking for a long time, he finally mustered up the courage and whispered:
“…husband.”

After hearing this, Chen Yi hesitated for a moment, but finally smiled slightly, stroked her cheek and said, "Yes, Luan Huang."

After hearing this, Yin Weiying couldn't hear the gentleness in his tone. These days, her Wuming seemed to have treated her better. Last time, he gave her true essence to fill the situation, and she refined it all and had returned to the early stage of Jindan.

Come to think of it, even though he said he didn't like me that much, he still liked me after all. It might even be that he was just saying one thing and thinking another. He secretly liked me a little more than Tingxue.

Thinking of this, the nun felt inexplicably in a good mood.

Chen Yi looked at Yin Weiying, feeling confused and having many thoughts in his mind.

It doesn’t make sense…

If it is the previous life, then why is Yin Weiying not there?

Chen Yi clearly remembered that Prince Jing's Mansion existed, and the Goddess Taihua should also exist, but Yin Weiying... according to what he had said before, she was the so-called... unfinished abandoned project.

In other words, in the previous life...Yin Weiying didn’t even exist.

Chen Yi had endless doubts in his mind.

If he had known about this three or four months ago, Chen Yi would have suspected that Yin Weiying was fake, some kind of illusion. But now their ties to each other are getting deeper and deeper, so how could she be fake?
Chen Yi pondered for a while and decided to test it out first.

"Follow me to the study."

Yin Weiying was slightly surprised. She had always been asked to do one thing when she came to this courtyard...

Chen Yi pretended to be casual and said, "Didn't you say that you would read to me?"

Yin Weiying understood and said in a clear voice, "Of course I did."

Chen Yi walked towards the study.

The nun looked at his back and her mind changed slightly.

Now that things have really calmed down between them, doesn't that mean...

She should have felt delighted, but for some reason, she felt inexplicably nervous.

It's a good thing to ease the situation with him now, but if you think about it, you're getting more and more involved.

The more you roll in the world, the harder it is to let go of the ties that bind you.

Yin Weiying couldn't help but frown slightly, her thoughts were complicated, but in the end she still didn't dare to disobey Chen Yi and followed slowly.

After entering the study, Chen Yi pulled out a chair for her. The nun did not refuse, but lifted her skirt and sat down.

She took out "Dao Ce" from the square floor and turned the pages with her fingertips. From Chen Yi's perspective, she could just see many annotations written in small strokes.

Yin Weiying's desire to become an immortal was evident. Noticing Chen Yi's gaze, Yin Weiying was puzzled by his meaning, his fingertips trembled slightly, and after hesitating, he spoke:

"Where did you read?"

Chen Yi pointed to one of the sections.

The nun read it carefully. The Taoist Strategy not only contained various techniques, but also a clear explanation of the Taoist principles. The Taoist principle described in this chapter was the paper figurine technique that Yin Weiying was most familiar with.

"The so-called paper figures are not living things, but dead things, just like the Monkey King, who plucked a hair and blew on it, and it became thousands of monkeys. The paper figure method is similar to this. The caster recites the spell in his mind and blows on the paper figure, and the paper figure will move..."

Yin Weiying explained it to him word by word.

Chen Yi listened patiently at first, but after a while, he felt drowsy.

Yin Weiying was very interested in talking about these Taoist strategies and magic, but to Chen Yi, they were extremely boring.

In his previous life, it was because of Zhou Yitong that he was able to study patiently, but in the final analysis, he did not achieve much.

Yin Weiying saw that he was drowsy and had some anger in his eyes, but he didn't dare to say it, so he said in a soft voice:

"After all, not everyone can listen to the words of this Dao Strategy, and not everyone is born to be suitable for practicing Dao."

Chen Yi raised his eyes and smiled when he heard this:

“Are you born to be suitable?”

Yin Weiying trembled, hearing the playfulness in these words, lowered his eyes and whispered:

"After all, I have been practicing Taoism longer than my husband."

Chen Yi still liked the way she lowered her eyebrows and called her husband. He closed his eyes and said:

"Go on."

He listened and sorted out his thoughts.

Yin Weiying looked at him suspiciously. Wouldn’t he fall asleep?
Chen Yi seemed to see through her thoughts and said:

"Whether I fall asleep or not is my business, and whether you continue to recite is your business."

After hearing these words, Yin Weiying's eyes dimmed. After all, he was just a mortal and had no obsession with attaining the Tao and becoming an immortal. Even if he tried his best to explain the Tao strategy once, how much could he listen to?

Tingxue also said that when one person attains enlightenment, all his family members will ascend to heaven. If he is in this situation, what if he passes the heavenly gate but fails to enter, how can he ascend to heaven as well?

Thinking of this, the nun became depressed. She had been practicing Taoism for nearly twenty years and had always wanted to attain immortality, but Chen Yi did not allow her. Now that she had become his concubine, she had not given up this thought.

She knew these things, and Chen Yi would not be unaware of them.

Da Yin is not Xiao Yin. She has never been willing to accept her fate. But even though she is unwilling, she is still this man's concubine. Now she can only recite the Taoist strategy softly.

Yin Weiying's voice was soft and soothing when she read. She did not become inattentive just because Chen Yi was drowsy. On the contrary, she recited in a low voice at her own pace.

In this winter season, the sound of her reading was like a gentle breeze and calm water. The more Chen Yi listened, the more peaceful he felt. He leaned back in the chair with his head slightly lowered and closed his eyes.

Chen Yi seemed to be asleep.

Yin Weiying had just finished reading the chapter about paper figures. The way of practicing paper figures is to eliminate the false and retain the true. One must remember that paper figures are just a group of dead objects, not living things. No matter how touched one is, one must not indulge in them.

Otherwise, one will confuse truth and falsehood and go astray.

After reading this most familiar chapter, Yin Weiying raised his head slightly and saw Chen Yi falling asleep.

She stared at this face, even when he fell asleep, she was still a little afraid, but now she has learned to suppress it.

Yin Weiying looked at him for a long time, her fingertips unconsciously raised, and she carefully touched his face. She saw that he had no interest in practicing Taoism.

The study was now quiet, without any threat or lust. Yin Weiying felt a little dreamy for no reason, as Wuming had fallen asleep in front of him without any protection.

Their relationship has eased...

He already likes me a little, right?
"Do you really not want me to become an immortal?"

Yin Weiying was silent for a long time, then said in a clear voice:
"You like my appearance so much,

But I will get old too..."

She didn't dare to mention such things when Chen Yi was awake, so she could only whisper at this moment, using some gentle words to persuade him, hoping that one day Chen Yi would suddenly change his mind and let her become an immortal, so that she...

Even if she was among the immortals, she would still come down to earth to serve him... as a cauldron.

"I will grow old," Yin Weiying glanced at the book in his hand and said softly, "I am not a paper man."

At this moment, Chen Yi suddenly opened his eyes and asked in a cold voice:
"Are you really not a paper man?"
