The young man lowered his head, looking exhausted, and did not dare to look at her.
"You ignorant brat!" Madam Wan grabbed a stick and rushed over to beat the young man. "I told you to study hard since you were a child. I told you not to go to that kind of place. I told you to practice martial arts well. You don't want to learn from anyone else, but you have to learn from your father, that damn old ghost, and follow him to go to that kind of place and get locked up."
"Look at your cousin, she has already reached the seventh level at such a young age. And then look at yourself, you are so old but still a loser. Why are you so useless? How could I give birth to such a useless son like you?"
Madam Wan was the acting leader of Huajin Sword Pavilion and she herself had the strength of a seventh-rank warrior. Although she was holding a wooden stick, she beat the young man until his skin was torn.
Fang Yu had been afraid of his mother since he was a child. He rolled on the ground crying and wailing, "Mom, I won't dare to do that again. Mom, I won't dare to do that again."
Mrs. Wan didn't stop, and didn't care if there were other people present. She kept beating and scolding him, "If I had another son, I would have let you die long ago. Pigs are just as lazy as you, but they won't be like you, not learning anything well."
"See if you still want to make friends with those bad guys. Next time, I will let you die in prison. You are as useless as your father. You dare to use the young master to make trouble outside. You have the nerve to do that..."
Du Yuejiao hurriedly pulled her and kept persuading her, "Aunt, forget it, forget it."
Yueyaer said with a smile: "Beat him! Beat him hard. A man who goes to a place like that is not a good person."
Seeing that she was adding fuel to the fire, Du Yuejiao quickly said, "Sister Yue." She then kept pulling Madam Wan to sit aside and patiently persuaded her.
Madam Wan's chest heaved, and she was furious. Fang Yu huddled to one side, raised his arms, and just cried.
Madam Wan cursed her son a few more times before throwing away the stick. She then thanked Yueyaer repeatedly and asked the servants she brought with her to give her a valuable gift. Then she pinched her son's ear and dragged him away while cursing at him.
Du Yuejiao also felt extremely embarrassed. She said a few words to Yueyaer and then left in a hurry...
—
After Madam Wan and Du Yuejiao left, Yueyaer smiled and said, "Your lover has left."
Shi Hao stepped out and looked at the darkness outside the hall, pondering for a moment.
Yueyaer put her hands on her hips: "Are you reluctant to give up and want to catch up?"
Shi Hao's mind quickly moved. He really wanted to catch up, but at this time, Du Yuejiao was with her aunt and cousin, so he probably wouldn't be able to do anything if he caught up.
In addition, since he had agreed to be Yueyaer's bodyguard, it would be abrupt to leave suddenly at this time.
I should wait until tomorrow and find a chance to discuss it with Xu Xiaoyan... he thought to himself.
He turned around, smiled, and said, "No! Let her go first!"
Crescent Moon glanced at him.
That night, Yueyaer asked her maid to make a bed on the floor in her own boudoir.
She said that she was so frightened by the blood-dark undead boy that she could not sleep alone. She always felt that as soon as she fell asleep, an assassin would come to kill her.
—Once bitten by a snake, one will be afraid of ropes for ten years! This explanation is also reasonable.
"Don't peek!" From the lowered red warm tent came the rustling sound of someone taking off clothes.
Shi Hao thought, in fact, when taking a shower, he had seen almost all the places he shouldn't have seen.
By the way, this girl doesn’t really think that if I say “I didn’t see anything”, she can really pretend that she didn’t see anything, right
There was a crescent moon hanging outside the window, and the hazy moonlight covered the windowsill.
Yueyaer, lying in the warm tent, covered with a red quilt, turned and looked at him.
After a while, she asked in a low voice: "You... don't like Sister Yue Jiao?"
Shi Hao lay on the floor, looking at the Algae Sea covered with exquisite brocade in the faint moonlight that seeped into the boudoir.
"Do you still like it?" The girl's voice seemed to become nervous.
Shi Hao closed his eyes: "Let's go to sleep!"
After a long while, a soft "Oh" sound was heard from the girl in the warm tent.
—
It was not until the second half of the night that Du Yuejiao returned to his residence in Chongxian Gate.
After sending her aunt back home, she continued to beat and scold her cousin along the way.
In Du Yuejiao's impression, such insults seemed to have never stopped since she was a child.
Maybe it's because he is disappointed in his friend... Du Yuejiao, who had never experienced such a thing, thought to herself.
She was sent to Chongxianmen when she was young, so she doesn't have much impression of her parents.
To her, the master basically took the place of her mother.
She has two younger brothers at home, but she has never met them.
She was born in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, but left there when she was three years old and never went back.
Later, news came that her mother Wang had died of illness, but at that time she was practicing in Kunzhen Temple. Kunzhen Temple was a Jurchen place in Chongxian Sect. Once you entered, you were absolutely not allowed to come out unless you had reached a certain rank.
She was still young at that time. By the time she reached the ninth rank and was able to leave Kunzhen Courtyard, her mother had been dead for half a year.
Although she actually has no impression of her mother.
My aunt Wan Shuxian married into Huajin Jiange, which is basically a vassal of Chongxianmen and is located in Daxing City, so she is more familiar with her.
In her memory, her cousin Fang Yu was completely different when he was young. In fact, he was quite motivated and practiced sword very hard.
However, no matter how well he did, his aunt would always have higher and higher expectations. Other people's children were always better and other people's children were always geniuses.
If you do something slightly poorly, you will be scolded immediately and continue to be scolded. Even if there are many people around, they will still insult and beat you in various ways.
To be fair, Fang Yu was at least an eighth-grade cultivator, but even now, he would still tremble with fear whenever his mother picked up a stick.
As for the past three or four years, his martial arts not only stagnated, but also became worse and worse because he made friends with bad people and visited some bad places. Du Yuejiao had actually heard about this kind of thing.
In fact, in the past few years, she followed her master, mainly practicing in Mingkun Courtyard, and rarely returned to the Immortal Gate.
I came back a few times and saw my aunt and cousin. All I heard was my aunt scolding my cousin Fang Yu: "Why don't you learn from your cousin? Look at her, she's getting better and better. Look at you, you useless guy..."
Every time, Du Yuejiao wanted to leave immediately...
Chapter 98 Girl's Nightmare
After washing up, Du Yuejiao leaned against the windowsill in her boudoir and looked at the crescent moon outside.
In the second half of the night, the moonlight, which was not bright to begin with, became even dimmer, and the mountains and trees in the distance were hazy.
Putting all distracting thoughts behind her, she looked at the faint crescent moon hanging in the distant sky, her mind full of one person.
Brother Shi... where are you
She sighed softly.
The young girl in love lowered the window covered with purple gauze and turned to her couch.
There were night fragrance beads placed at the head of the couch. The faint light emitted by the night fragrance grass shone through the topaz lampshade, covering the area around the bed with a layer of warm light.
The girl untied her belt, took off her colorful Taoist skirt, and her gray-white jacket and pants.
Wearing a diamond-shaped heart-shaped dress embroidered with a "joyful" pattern, she slid into the bed, held the beautiful rag doll in her arms, and covered it with a thin red quilt.
She didn't know if it was a psychological effect, but she felt that as long as she held this rag doll, she would be able to have a good dream.
Tonight is another beautiful night in which I can dream of him.
On the next morning, the girl, holding her rag doll, suddenly woke up. She sat up and her face turned pale.
She had a dream in which her senior brother appeared, but it was not a good dream.
She dreamed that her senior brother, Yueyaer... and the female thief "Ye Baihe" were fooling around together.
They were doing all sorts of shameless things in the room, and she was banging on the screen outside the window, screaming and yelling at them, but Brother Shi didn't notice her.
Instead, Yueyaer and Ye Baihe were seducing Master Brother while smiling at her.
They laughed at her and made fun of her.
She cried and cried in her dream, watching her lover doing things to both of them that he had never done to her.
After waking up, she sat on the couch with tears still on her face.
She picked up the handkerchief covering Ye Xinzhu, wiped her tears, and found it funny herself.
It was just a dream, but I was scared like this.
But my heart felt sore and painful, as if it was being cut by a knife.
It was clearly just a dream, but it was so real that it seemed to be happening right before my eyes.
The girl got up, washed and changed her clothes.
Master Zhuo Mulan has gone to Dongzhenqiyuan where immortal materials are grown. He is not in Daxing City and may not be back until tomorrow.
She is the only one living in this pavilion now.
She tidied herself up, ate some cakes, carried the rag doll downstairs, and came to the small martial arts field next to her.
She put the rag doll in the corner and started practicing sword in the martial arts field.
The sword's light was sharp and its force was intimidating... She wanted to completely forget that horrible dream.
The beautiful rag doll was watching her in the corner.
Suddenly, its head turned strangely.
It raised its two little hands, turned quietly, and flew out.
When they flew to the mountainside, they saw a woman in colorful clothes and a tired young man walking up the stairs to the pavilion where Du Yuejiao lived.
"You should thank your cousin later. She saved you and even went to beg for mercy after dark," the woman said. "Look at her, and then look at yourself. You are really going backwards and backwards. It's no use at all. Let me tell you, your cousin is a direct descendant of the Chongxian Sect and knows the daughter of the Yue Ketai family. You should talk to her and build a good relationship with her. In the future..."
The young man complained, "Mom, you shouldn't have gone to see her last night. That was my own business."
The woman poked his head with her finger. "Are you ashamed now? What were you doing before? Huh? When you were little, you thought you were great and wanted to marry me. But look at you now. You're such a loser. How can you be worthy of me?"
"You are embarrassing yourself by going to that kind of place and getting caught. Even I am embarrassed with you. I am a daughter of a rich family after all. It's ok for me to marry your father, that useless old ghost, but why did you give birth to a useless son like you? Let's see if you dare to be a bad boy and go to that kind of place."
The young man was scolded by her and poked at her head, tilting his head from side to side, but he didn't dare to say a word.
As they were talking, they came to a fork in the road. A man came over from the other side and said with a smile, "Hey, sister-in-law, how come you have time to come to the mountains today?"
The person who came was a middle-aged Taoist, wearing a Yin-Yang Taoist robe and holding a whisk.
Wan Shuxian smiled and said, "So it's Master Zheng! Alas, it's all because of this useless son." She turned around and said, "Why don't you call me Uncle Zheng?"
Fang Yu whispered, "Hello, Uncle Zheng!"
Master Zheng smiled and said, "Good! Good!" He looked at Wan Shuxian and said, "Sister-in-law, you came at the right time. The immortal material you need just arrived at my place. Do you have time to go and get it?"
Wan Shuxian said: "Oh, I am really troubling you again. Over the years, my Huajin Sword Pavilion has been able to gain a foothold in Daxing City thanks to your help."
Master Zheng waved his whisk and said, "You are welcome, sister-in-law. Brother Fang and I are like brothers. Brother Fang unfortunately passed away due to illness. It is my duty to help you."
Wan Shuxian turned to look at Fang Yu and said, "I will go get the immortal materials with your Uncle Zheng first. You go and thank your cousin first and be nice to her. By the way, why don't you thank your Uncle Zheng? He has helped us so much again."
Fang Yu whispered, "Thank you, Uncle Zheng."
Zheng Zhenren smiled and said, "My dear nephew, you are welcome." He then said, "Sister-in-law, please!"
At that moment, Zheng Zhenren and Wan Shuxian went to another road while talking.
Fang Yu came alone to the courtyard of the building where his cousin lived, walked back and forth in front of the gate, but never went in.
After walking for a while, he sat quietly on a stone by the roadside without saying a word. After a long time, he suddenly saw something move in the bushes.
He stood up and looked towards the bushes, a little surprised... Isn't that the rag doll that his cousin brought last night
He walked towards the doll and tried to pick it up, but the doll moved further and further away.
Fang Yu chased after him. He slid down the hillside, ran into the bamboo forest, and went around a rockery. He then heard what seemed to be human voices behind the hill.
He felt that the voice was somewhat familiar, and he leaned over to look at the other side of the rockery, only to see a woman lying on a rock deep in the bamboo forest, making all kinds of noises.
"Sister-in-law, you are still the best!" The man who took off his Yin-Yang Taoist robe was doing something disgusting.
Fang Yu widened his eyes, clenched his fists, and his nails were about to dig into the palms of his hands.
His eyes seemed to be emitting flames, but in the end, he still quietly retreated...
—
In the afternoon, Shi Hao found an excuse to leave Qionghuayuan Palace and went to Fuyun Temple first, but did not see Xu Xiaoyan.
I learned from Chen Yaner that Xu Xiaoyan left at noon and has not returned yet.
Shi Hao left Rongshan and searched around Rongshan, but he never saw Xu Xiaoyan.
