The white-robed boy was quite talkative, and told Liu Le'er some anecdotes about the city along the way, but the girl was a little absent-minded about it, and just dealt with it casually.
Several people walked through several streets and soon came to the central area of Mingyuan City.
It seems a little quiet here, the roads are tidy, there are no shops on both sides, and there are many large houses and large courtyards, which are obviously the residences of wealthy families in the city.
After walking a little further, they came to a vermilion mansion.
Different from other buildings in the city, this mansion occupies a very large area. The vermilion gate about two feet high looks majestic. There are two stone lions standing in the gate, and the gate is covered with shiny copper nails. , shining brightly in the sun.
On both sides of the gate, there is a guard wearing bright armor, the same as the previous guards, but holding a spear, standing solemnly.
Everything here shows the power and status of the owner here.
A huge gilt plaque hangs on the gate, on which are written "Yu Fu" in big gilt characters.
Liu Shi looked up at Yu Fu, but quickly looked away.
Liu Le'er looked at the mansion in front of her in surprise, feeling a little uneasy in her heart.
She had never seen such a large mansion before, judging from the situation of this gate, the status of Yu Mansion in Mingyuan City must be extremely high, and it may have a lot to do with the Fengguo court.
"Sister Liu, what's the matter?" The white-robed boy seemed to have noticed something, and asked in a gentle voice.
"The Yu Mansion is really big, and there are so many guards, isn't it an ordinary family?" Liu Le'er said with a forced smile.
"Sister Liu is really smart. My father is the prime minister of Fengguo, so there are some guards in the mansion. Otherwise, how can I invite a real immortal teacher to stay here?" Yu Qi replied disapprovingly...
Liu Le'er couldn't help but widen her eyes when she heard this.
Seeing this, the young man in the Confucian robe had a proud look on his face.
"Seventh Young Master, Second Young Master!" Seeing several people approaching, the two guards at the door rushed up to greet them and bowed in salute.
Yu Qi nodded slightly to the two, and led Liu Le'er into the gate.
"Seventh brother, you insist on bringing two outsiders to the mansion. Be careful that your father will be furious if he finds out. Don't blame me for not reminding you." Entering Yu's mansion, the young man in Confucianism robe snorted coldly and walked away.
"Don't pay attention to him, you two please come with me." Yu Qi smiled sweetly, and led Liu Le'er and Liu Shi to another direction in the mansion.
The area of Yu Mansion is huge, with pavilions, terraces, pavilions, gardens and corridors everywhere.
The ground is also paved with white jade, sapphire and other high-quality jade, which is as smooth as a mirror and as hard as iron, showing the luxury of a wealthy family.
Yu Qi seemed very dignified in Yu Mansion, the servants and servants he met along the way saluted one after another, some even knelt down on one knee.
Seeing this, Liu Le'er glanced at Yu Qi's back, her two sparkling eyes rolled around, and she didn't know what she was thinking.
She and Liu Shi followed Yu Qi, which naturally attracted the attention of many people, especially Liu Shi's unusual appearance, which was even more eye-catching, but these people seemed to be photographed by Yu Qi's majesty and did not dare to look at it.
Not long after, the three of them came to a long corridor, and a tall maidservant in a green dress walked towards her.
"Master, you're back." The maid in the green dress saw Yu Qi, immediately smiled happily, and trotted over.
"Xiao Wu, there are distinguished guests here, so don't play around." Yu Qi reprimanded in a deep voice.
Xiao Wu, the maid in the green dress, stuck out her tongue, she was not afraid, completely different from the previous servants.
Yu Qi stared helplessly at the maidservant in the green skirt, and said, "Xiao Wu, you came just in time, these two are my invited guests, sister Liu Le'er and brother Liu Shi, you go to the west wing to clean up a yard , give them rest."
Xiao Wu only noticed the two people behind Yu Qi at this moment, and Liu Shi was so dumb that she was a little surprised, but when her eyes fell on Liu Le'er beside her, her beautiful eyes lit up again, and she said with a smile: "Ah, so beautiful Little sister girl!"
"Sister Liu is my honored guest, so don't be rude! You two, Xiao Wu is my personal servant girl, please don't blame me for speaking abruptly." Yu Qi scolded, then turned around and smiled apologetically at Liu Le'er and Liu Shi.
"Understood." Xiao Wu said so, but when Yu Qi turned around and didn't pay attention, she made a face at Le'er.
Liu Le'er was amused by it, and couldn't help but chuckle, but quickly covered her mouth with her hands, but her originally nervous mood relaxed a little.
"By the way, I've been outside these few days, in the mansion..." Yu Qi looked around, approached Xiao Wu, and whispered.
The two of them were leaning against each other with an intimate expression, and Xiao Wu didn't seem to shy away from it.
Seeing this scene, Liu Le'er curled her lips, and the slight affection she had just shown for the white-robed boy suddenly faded away.
The two whispered a few words, Xiao Wu nodded, turned around and walked away quickly.
"Both of you, please." Yu Qi said and continued on his way.
After a while, the three of them came to a small courtyard, where Xiao Wu was welcoming them.
Although it is a small courtyard, the area is not small. A small path is paved with cobblestones. There is a green pine tree on the left and a clump of green bamboo on the right.
The breeze blows, and the pine trees and bamboo leaves make a rustling sound, which is extremely quiet.
Although the furnishings in the house are simple, the workmanship of the tables, chairs and benches is extremely exquisite.
The tables and chairs were clean and spotless and had obviously just been cleared away.
"The two of you seem a little tired, let's take a rest here first, and I will host a separate banquet for Ling brothers and sisters later." The white-robed boy turned to look at Liu Le'er, and smiled.
"There's no need for entertaining. I just want to know, when can I invite that fairy teacher to treat my brother?" Liu Le'er looked around.
"Since the two of you don't like to socialize, I'll ask Xiao Wu to bring the dinner later. As for the immortal master, I'm afraid I won't be able to invite you until tomorrow." Yu Qi pondered for a moment, then said.
"Okay." Liu Le'er was a little disappointed.
"By the way, if the two of you have any other needs, you can just tell Xiao Wu. The two of you should rest well, and I'll take my leave first." Yu Qi said, and glanced at Liu Shi again.
Liu Le'er nodded, looking a little absent-minded.
…
"Master, who are they? Judging by their attire, they are just ordinary people, why should you be so polite to them." Outside the small courtyard, Xiao Wu asked curiously.
"What do you know, little girl? The carriage of my second brother and I was frightened today. It was Liu Shi who single-handedly subdued the Qingfeng horse and stopped the carriage." Yu Qi frivolously pinched Xiao Wu's fair chin, lightly laughed.
"Qingfengma! One-handed! That Liushi...has so much strength!" Xiao Wu was startled when she heard this.
"You know, if this kind of alien with supernatural power can be subdued, it will be of great use to me in the future. Besides, no matter how old this girl is, Le'er is definitely a beauty who can overwhelm the country and the city. How can I bear it?" Let her go out to suffer, so naturally she will also be brought into the mansion together. You tell them to treat them well, don't neglect them?" The white-robed boy walked out with a smile on his face, and gave instructions as he walked.
"Yes." Xiao Wu didn't know what to think of, and blushed quickly agreed.
…
Small courtyard, inside the house.
Liu Le'er walked for a day today, and had just experienced another turmoil. She was a little tired, so she dragged Liu Shi into the bedroom to take a rest.
Although there is a difference between men and women, Liu Le'er didn't think there was anything wrong with the two of them eating and sleeping in the wild all these years.
When it was dark, Xiao Wu brought a sumptuous dinner.
Looking at the table full of delicious food, Liu Le'er couldn't help but swallowed.
She had never eaten such a sumptuous food. Although she was in the prime minister's mansion and the unfamiliar environment made her a little uneasy, she still couldn't help but eat it.
On the contrary, Liu Shi didn't respond to these delicacies.
As the night darkened, a full moon slowly rose from the sky.
Liu Le'er lay on the bed, tossing and turning for a long time, but did not fall asleep, her mind was full of things about seeing a doctor tomorrow.
"Brother Shitou, do you think that fairy master can cure you?" Liu Le'er moved her body to the side of the bed and said softly.
Liu Shi didn't lie down, but sat cross-legged on the edge of the bed with his eyes closed.
Over the years, he has been like this every night, never lying down and sleeping.
Liu Shi remained expressionless and did not open his eyes, as if he had not heard the girl's words.
"Brother Shitou, don't worry, if the immortal master here can't cure you, we will go to other places, there must be someone who can cure you." Liu Le'er was used to it, and after saying a few more words in a low voice, she finally showed her peace of mind. With a smile, he slowly closed his eyes and fell into a dream.
Liu Shi was motionless, like a statue in the dark.
After an unknown amount of time, the tall young man suddenly opened his eyes, glanced in a certain direction in the Yu residence, and subconsciously raised his hand to stroke a certain dark green ornament under his neck.
…
At the same time, in a certain underground secret room of the Yu Mansion in the direction the tall young man was looking.
Dark red runes are engraved on the four walls of the secret room, converging from the walls to the center.
There is a black alchemy furnace in the center of the secret room, and the bottom of the furnace is a fire pool, burning with raging flames.
The pill furnace was emitting black light at this moment, and the top cover was trembling slightly, as if it would fly up at any moment.
An old man stood beside the alchemy furnace, looking nervously at the alchemy furnace.
This person is wearing a lotus flower crown, wearing a gray Taoist robe, deep eye sockets, thin cheeks, a goat's long beard hanging under his jaw, the beard and hair are all snow white, he looks like he should be more than seventy years old, but he is also a bit of a fairy.
At this moment, there was a muffled cracking sound from the pill furnace, followed by a burnt smell.
The old man's face changed drastically, he waved out a formula, extinguished the fire, and with a move, the lid of the alchemy furnace flew up.
Regardless of the scorching heat of the pill furnace, he directly stretched his hand in, his face immediately became extremely gloomy, and he took out a handful of black powder.
A strong medicinal aroma mixed with a burnt smell emanated from the powder.
Seeing this, the old man's face was livid, and he jumped up and down in frustration.
