Plum blossom garden.
On the roof, the moonlight is like water, falling gently.
Luo Qingzhou sat on the eaves, holding the message in his hand, replying to the message:
Oh, sister Yue, you are busy. Come back when you have time. I have many stories and scriptures here, which should be able to help you practice.
After a while.
The message came back: Brother, my sister is penniless and has nothing left.
Luo Qingzhou: Don't misunderstand, sister, I just miss you.
Xiaoyue: If you don’t believe me, I will show you the storage ring. It will be empty. There is nothing left.
Luo Qingzhou: Oh
Xiaoyue: Brother, can you send me some passages from scriptures
Luo Qingzhou: Xiaoyue, scriptures can only be passed on orally, not teleported. It's getting late, I'm going to bed, bye
Xiaoyue: Brother, although I don’t have any treasures here, I still have a lot of socks. Do you want some
Luo Qingzhou: What socks
Xiaoyue: They are just ordinary socks, either worn by my sister or not worn by her. Which one does my brother want
Yuanyang Tower, on the flying eaves.
The white figure was bathed in the pure moonlight, looking at the message in his hand.
After a moment.
A line of small words suddenly appeared on it.
Luo Qingzhou: Xiaoyue, you've given me enough. I can't take any more from you. But if you have worn socks that you don't want anymore, you can give them to me and I'll take them back to your sister-in-law to avoid wasting them.
The moon-white figure narrowed his eyes and continued to look down.
Xiaoyue: What does your brother's family do? You can't even afford to buy socks for your sister-in-law
Luo Qingzhou: Mainly because your sister-in-law is quite frugal, and her family was poor since she was a child, so she developed a habit of wearing socks that others had worn and no longer wanted. Sometimes I wanted to buy her new ones, but she insisted on not buying them.
Xiaoyue: Brother, does sister-in-law want clothes besides socks
Luo Qingzhou: No
Xiaoyue: Don’t you need bellybands, undergarments, and the like
Pause.
The message reappeared.
Luo Qingzhou: No, I just want socks, the socks you've worn
Xiaoyue: Okay, I will save all the socks I wear every day and give them to my brother when I see him.
Luo Qingzhou: Well, thank you, sister. Your sister-in-law will be very happy when she finds out.
Yuanyang Tower, on the flying eaves.
The moon-white figure put away the message and looked towards the darkness in the distance. Her absolutely beautiful and flawless face was still as cold and clear as snow.
Luo Qingzhou put away the message, walked across the house and returned to his room.
The soul returns to the body.
I was holding the little girl in my arms and was not sleepy.
He didn't care about the original socks or anything like that, he just wanted the rich Yue sister to come back so he could get some good stuff from her.
He believed that she must have a lot of good things.
Of course, he wouldn't ask for it for nothing.
He told her stories and explained scriptures to her.
On the surface, they seem to be brother and sister, and they seem to be in harmony with each other, but in fact, they are just using each other, and no one will trust the other.
But strangely enough, he had immense trust in Sister Yue.
Even though the other party asked him to be torn into pieces by those red beads, he did not hesitate at all.
Tonight, there is still no hesitation.
The two of them had not known each other for long, or rather, they had never really known each other.
But the feeling that Sister Yue gave him was completely different from that of Sister Yue, and he had almost no doubt about what the other party said.
On the roof.
On the eaves where he had just been sitting, a moon-white figure, with a white skirt fluttering and black hair flying, stood there silently.
Until dawn.
“Chichi…Chichi…”
Early in the morning, Luo Qingzhou was awakened by the sound of birds.
Xiaodie and Qiu'er were both driving away sparrows in the yard, one holding a broom and the other waving a bellyband that was just about to be hung out to dry.
But the group of sparrows, in groups of three or five, just after being driven away, circled in the air and fell down again, as if they were deliberately teasing the two little girls.
The courtyard is very large.
The two little girls were so tired that they were out of breath, but they didn't chase them away.
Until Luo Qingzhou went out, concentrated his spirit, and thunder burst out of his throat, and suddenly shouted at the group of sparrows: "Get lost-"
The group of sparrows fled in panic and never came back.
The two little girls looked at him with admiration.
Luo Qingzhou then went back to the house to change his clothes.
Qiu Er said, "Xiao Die, my uncle is so big."
Xiaodie said, "Well, Master is growing every day."
Qiu Er said, "I'm talking about muscles."
Fluttershy: "Isn't that muscle I'm talking about?"
Qiu'er: "But my uncle is a scholar, a weak scholar, how can he be so strong?"
Xiaodie: "Who says that scholars can't be strong? Sister Xiachan is still a girl, those men are afraid of her."
Qiu'er: "My uncle is so strong, Xiaodie, can you bear it?"
Xiaodie: "Haha, it's you who can't stand it. I'm not a vegetarian."
Qiu'er: "Xiaodie, what's the idiom in the book you learned last night?"
Fluttershy: "…find another way."
After Luo Qingzhou finished his meal, he went out.
Exit through the back door.
In the deserted alley, he changed into black clothes and put on a mask.
Then, he walked towards the Treasure Pavilion.
The power in his body has been restless and ready to move these past few days, so he must temper his internal organs in a more intense way to accumulate energy.
I took a bath with the medicine last night and absorbed two drops of spiritual liquid this morning.
A hot current flowed rapidly through his internal organs and acupuncture points. Even the breath he exhaled carried a burning sensation.
Today he decided to go to the Blackwood Forest and have a good outing.
Only by stimulating all the potential in the body and tempering all the internal organs and acupoints to the extreme can we accumulate more energy and start the final sprint and breakthrough.
When I arrived at Jubao Pavilion.
Everyone has arrived except Sister Dao.
Chu Xiaoxiao guessed, "After Sister Dao came back last night, she was forced by her father to go on a blind date again. I wonder if something happened again last night."
Why say "again"
Because the last time Sister Dao went on a blind date, the person on the other side was a scholar.
The scholar looked gentle and refined, but he was disgusted by her silver hair, her cold face and her age. Finally, he said directly: "You are already 18 years old, are you still clean? I need to check it first tonight."
It was this sentence that directly ignited Sister Dao's anger, which was about to explode.
Sister Dao punched the man, knocking out his two front teeth, and then kicked the scholar in the stomach, knocking him unconscious on the spot.
"If my dad didn't know his family, I would have punched that bastard's head off!"
"What a bunch of crap scholars, they are just a bunch of sanctimonious and well-dressed bastards and perverts!"
That day, Sister Dao came to Jubao Pavilion and got so angry that the clothes on her chest almost exploded.
While trying to persuade him, several people also joined in scolding the scholar.
Luo Qingzhou had no choice but to say something insincere and cursed a few times.
Unexpectedly, last night, Sister Dao was forced by her father to go on a blind date again.
Every morning, Sister Dao is always the first one to arrive.
He hasn't come at this time today. I guess it's just like Chu Xiaoxiao said, something went wrong during the blind date last night.
Chu Xiaoxiao added: "Sister Dao said that the blind date last night was also a scholar, a scholar, and he is preparing to take the imperial examination this year."
Wu Kui said, "The imperial examination for scholars is more difficult than practicing martial arts for us. Only one person out of a hundred who can pass is considered good."
Zhou Boyue also spoke up: "My wife's brother is also going to take the autumn exam this year. He studies at home every day and feels much more tired than us. The family members are supervising him every day and he can't go anywhere."
Wu Kui glanced at him and said, "After all, the autumn exam is less than three months away, so we really need to hurry up."
As a few people were chatting, hurried footsteps were finally heard on the stairs.
Sister Dao hurried over and said apologetically, "Sorry, I was late because of something this morning. Let's go, the carriage is waiting at the door."
Chu Xiaoxiao quickly said, "Sister Dao, don't worry. How was your blind date last night? Was it successful?"
Seeing that everyone was looking at her curiously, Dao Jie suddenly felt a little embarrassed. She turned around and went downstairs, saying, "We only met once, how can it be so fast?"
When they heard this, they looked at each other and thought, this is gonna be a good thing!
Chu Xiaoxiao immediately asked: "Sister Dao, how is the other party? Are you satisfied?"
Sister Dao hesitated for a moment before saying, "I don't have anything to say. I don't want to get married in a hurry, and I don't have any feelings for that guy. But he looks okay, very polite, and seems to have good talent, so at least I don't dislike him."
Chu Xiaoxiao immediately asked, "Did Sister Dao agree?"
Sister Dao laughed and said, "How is that possible? I just promised my father that I would spend a few days with him first. It was mainly because my father pushed me too hard, otherwise I would have refused directly."
Several people went downstairs while talking.
Wu Kui said, "If the other party is not bad, Sister Dao, I think you don't need to hesitate any longer. After all, you are not young anymore, and no matter how strong a woman is, she still has to get married."
Sister Dao didn't say anything else.
Several people followed and got on the carriage.
As the carriage was moving, Chu Xiaoxiao asked curiously, "Sister Dao, what does that man look like? I heard he's a scholar. Did he write poems for you? Otherwise, how would you know he's talented?"
Sister Dao smiled calmly and said, "He looks OK. We chatted for a while and he recited two poems, which sounded good. But I don't understand poetry very well, so I don't know if it's really good."
Zhou Boyue suddenly said, "Sister Dao, read it to me."
Several people looked at him.
Zhou Boyao felt a little embarrassed by being stared at by everyone, and explained: "I often listen to my wife's brother reciting poems, and I occasionally read some books myself, so I know a little bit."
Luo Qingzhou took a deep look.
This "some understanding" is probably not simple.
Daojie thought for a moment and said, "I only remember a few lines. In the first song, there seems to be a line about clouds thinking of clothes and flowers thinking of things. The second song is very long, but every line sounds beautiful. There are some lines about people having joys and sorrows, separations and reunions, the moon waxing and waning... I wish you a long life... I only remember these few lines."
Chu Xiaoxiao heard it and immediately said, "Sister Dao, these few sentences sound very impressive. That person is really talented. Sister Dao, you must not miss this opportunity."
Luo Qingzhou looked at Zhou Boyao who was sitting in the corner.
Zhou Boyue frowned and moved his lips, seeming to want to say something but stopped himself.
It was not until the carriage left the city that he could not help but ask, "Sister Dao, that person told you that he wrote all these poems himself?"
Sister Dao was slightly startled when she heard this, and after thinking for a while, she said, "He didn't say it directly, but judging from his expression at the time, he must have made it up on the spot."
Zhou Boyue fell silent.
Sister Dao looked at his expression and found something wrong, so she quickly asked, "What's wrong?"
Then it dawned on me: "Have you heard of these two poems?"
Zhou Boyao showed an awkward expression on his face, and hesitated for a moment before saying, "Sister Dao, the first poem, "The clouds are like clothes, the flowers are like faces, the spring breeze blows on the threshold, the dew is thick", was originally circulated from the Qin Mansion in the inner city. It is said that it was written by the second daughter of the Qin family, the most talented woman in Mo City; the second poem, "When will the bright moon appear? Drinking wine and asking the blue sky", was written at a poetry meeting by a person named "Luo Mo". This poem not only caused a sensation in the entire Mo City, but also in other places, and even in the literary world of Kyoto. Everyone speculated that it was probably written by the second daughter of the Qin family, after all, there is a word "Mo" in her name. So..."
Sister Dao's expression suddenly changed: "So he lied to me, right?"
Zhou Boyue said awkwardly: "Sister Dao, maybe he just said it casually and didn't lie to you. I didn't want to tell you about this matter because I was afraid that there would be a misunderstanding between you. I think Sister Dao should ask again next time. Maybe you misunderstood him."
Sister Dao frowned and fell silent, as if she was recalling the scene of last night.
Chu Xiaoxiao whispered quietly, "If that person really deceived Sister Dao on purpose, then he has bad character. Be careful..."
At this time, Luo Qingzhou, who had been silent, suddenly asked: "Sister Dao, what is the name of that person?"
Sister Dao came back to her senses, glanced at him, and said, "Tang Jiasong."
Then he looked at him and said, "Chu Feiyang, do you know him?"
Luo Qingzhou shook his head and said, "I haven't heard of him. Since he is a scholar and will take part in the autumn examination this year, other scholars must have heard of him. Sister Dao, I suggest you go find other talented women and ask about his character first."
Chu Xiaoxiao also nodded quickly and said, "Yes, Brother Chu is right, Sister Dao, you must go and ask first."
Sister Dao was silent for a moment, then nodded and said, "I understand."
Seeing that she seemed to be in a bad mood, everyone didn't dare to say anything.
Zhou Boyue realized that what he said had affected her mood and everyone else's mood, and he immediately felt a little regretful. He lowered his head and dared not say another word.
Silence all the way.
Soon, the carriage stopped on the road outside the Blackwood Forest.
Several people got off the bus one after another.
Luo Qingzhou had just got off the carriage when he saw a familiar carriage parked in front of him. Luo Yu got off the carriage with the burly woman.
He glanced over here with an indifferent expression, not taking those people seriously, and went straight into the black woods.
"Leave."
Wu Kui said hello and left first.
Zhou Boyao and Chu Xiaoxiao also each chose a direction to leave.
Sister Dao was carrying a knife, leaning on the carriage, frowning, as if she was still thinking about the scenes of last night.
Luo Qingzhou did not disturb her and left quickly.
He entered the dark woods, suddenly changed direction, and walked in the direction where Luo Yu and the burly woman had left.
There are less than three months left.
The autumn exam is coming soon.
The exams for Dragon and Tiger College are approaching.
It turned out that every time Luo Yu went out, he would bring this burly woman and the old man named Mei Lao with him.
But Mr. Mei is dead.
Now, there is only this one guard left.
I heard from Sister Dao that this burly woman came from Kyoto and was a bodyguard specially given by Luo Changtian to his younger brother.
It is said that he is a martial artist in the initial stage of cultivation, and his skin, flesh and bones are as strong as steel and indestructible.
The guard with amazing defensive power, working together with the Second Young Master Luo who has terrifying explosive power, the two martial artists can really move around easily in this black wood forest.
Luo Yu does not wear a mask and goes in and out of the Black Wood Forest so unscrupulously every day. Naturally, he has the confidence.
He probably wished someone would cause him trouble so that he could hone his fighting skills.
After all, the competition among Dragon and Tiger Colleges at that time will not only depend on cultivation, but also on overall strength.
He comes to the Black Wood Forest every day, obviously not just to fight with monsters, but also to look for some martial artists to fight with.
Luo Qingzhou followed quickly behind, thinking about something in his mind.
If you want revenge, you naturally have to clip his wings first.
That burly woman was very important to both him and Cheng Guofu.
After all, he is a powerful martial artist, and was sent back by Young Master Luo himself.
Um
His face suddenly changed and he stopped.
There was no one in front.
But behind him, there was a sudden sound of leaves being crushed.
He turned and looked.
Luo Yu, who was wearing a black suit and had a tall figure, was standing behind him, looking at him indifferently.
The burly woman stood motionless behind him.
"Following me?"
Luo Yu showed a hint of surprise in his eyes, and then a hint of contempt appeared at the corner of his mouth: "I thought I could have a good fight today, but it turns out to be just a small martial artist. Humph, what a waste of time."
Luo Qingzhou bowed and said, "I am just passing by here, I am not following you intentionally."
Luo Yu withdrew his gaze from him, not interested in looking at him any more, and walked directly into the forest beside him, saying indifferently: "Remember to deal with the body, don't dirty this road."
The burly woman still stood there, motionless, her face as hard as steel, no emotion visible.
Luo Yu walked away silently and quickly.
Luo Qingzhou looked at the burly woman in front of him. Without saying another word or hesitating, he rushed directly into the forest next to him at the fastest speed!
He rushed to the exit!
The burly woman watched him run dozens of meters away, then suddenly moved and disappeared from the spot!
When she reappeared, she was already in mid-air!
"boom!"
With one punch, all of Luo Qingzhou's escape routes were instantly covered!
