After a moment.
Familiar footsteps came from the courtyard.
The gate to the courtyard was ajar, leaving a gap.
Through the gap, Luo Qingzhou saw a pair of round and strong long legs walking hurriedly towards the door with familiar steps.
He suddenly felt a little uneasy.
"Squeak..."
The gate opened.
Sister Dao showed her familiar face with a blue eye, and a look of surprise appeared on her face: "Chu Feiyang, why are you here now?"
Luo Qingzhou glanced around and said, "Sister Dao, I have something to ask you."
Sister Dao made way and said, "Come in."
Luo Qingzhou said: "No, I have to hurry back."
He didn't beat around the bush and asked directly, "After I left you last night, did anyone else come to see you?"
Sister Dao was stunned for a moment when she heard this, and asked, "What do you mean? Who are the others?"
Luo Qingzhou hesitated for a moment and said, "Avenge the shame. Did she come to see you last night?"
Sister Dao was slightly startled: "Avenge? Why did she come to me? She doesn't know I live here. What, Chu Feiyang, did you provoke her again?"
Luo Qingzhou asked: "Are you sure she didn't come last night?"
Sister Dao shook her head: "No. I came back after I sent you to the carriage. I was practicing swordplay in the backyard. No one came to see me."
Luo Qingzhou stared at her face and eyes.
Sister Dao looked calm.
"It's good that you didn't come."
Luo Qingzhou finally breathed a sigh of relief and explained, "I met her when I got off the carriage yesterday, but I ran away. I was afraid that she would follow the carriage to find you. Sister Dao, if you meet her in the future, don't tell her that I came to Kyoto, and don't tell her that you have seen me, please."
Sister Dao asked curiously, "Chu Feiyang, how did you offend me? You are so scared of me, have you played with my feelings and body and now abandoned me?"
Luo Qingzhou said: "What nonsense, am I such a scumbag?"
Sister Dao said, “Yes.”
Luo Qingzhou ignored her and prepared to say goodbye and leave.
Sister Dao continued, "Chu Feiyang, she is so beautiful, has a good figure, and is obviously the daughter of a wealthy family. The most important thing is that she has a pair of beautiful legs, and her feet must be very beautiful. If you really played with her, you should be responsible for her instead of running away. What I hate most in my life is irresponsible men."
Luo Qingzhou couldn't help but laugh: "Sister Dao, how do you know that she has a pair of beautiful legs and her feet must be beautiful?"
Sister Dao said as if it was a matter of course: "Because her name is Meijiao, Meijiao beautiful feet, listen to me, is that what it means?"
Luo Qingzhou's expression suddenly changed: "How do you know her name is Meijiao?"
Sister Dao smiled and said, "I met her on the street the day before yesterday, and she told me herself. But I didn't tell her that you came to Kyoto."
Luo Qingzhou was stunned for a moment and remembered meeting her on the street the day before yesterday.
"I didn't play with her, either physically or emotionally. I have a wife at home and many beautiful maids, so I have no interest in her. She has been looking for me, probably to take revenge on me, after all, I once humiliated and abused her in the Blackwood Forest."
After Luo Qingzhou finished speaking, he waved his hand and said, "Sister Dao, I have something else to do today, so I'll take my leave first. I'll come over tomorrow morning and you can take me to become your disciple."
After saying that, he turned around and left quickly.
Aunt Mu was still guarding opposite the bookstore. I wonder if Princess Nangong had already come out of the palace.
He had to hurry back.
After walking for a distance, Sister Dao suddenly said from behind: "I don't understand. You are obviously a family, why do you want to humiliate and abuse her?"
Luo Qingzhou stopped and froze in place, then turned around and said, "What do you mean by family? Sister Dao, I don't quite understand what you mean."
Sister Dao showed a half-smile on her face: "Isn't she your little cousin?"
Luo Qingzhou froze in place for a few seconds and said, "No."
Sister Dao smiled and said, "Is she Luo Qingzhou's younger cousin? Or, is she Luo Qingzhou's wife's younger cousin?"
The alley suddenly fell silent.
The two looked at each other and neither spoke.
After a while.
Luo Qingzhou turned around, walked over, stopped in front of her, and said, "Sister Dao, can you explain it more clearly?"
Sister Dao raised the corner of her mouth and said, "Isn't this clear enough? Master Luo?"
After a pause, he added: "Oh, no, it should be Luo Jieyuan."
Luo Qingzhou stared at her for a while and said, "She was here last night, right?"
Sister Dao smiled and didn't hide it anymore: "Indeed, I have been here. I didn't intend to tell you at first because I wanted to see how long you could pretend in front of me. But after thinking about it just now, I decided to tell you, in case you don't know how to face her when you go back."
Luo Qingzhou's expression changed, and he asked, "Does she know?"
Sister Dao shook her head and said, "I didn't tell her."
Then he said with a look of seeking credit: "Luo Jieyuan, you should thank me. Because when I found out that something was wrong, I chose to help you conceal it and tarnish my reputation. I damaged my reputation by saying that I admired Luo Jieyuan's talent, so I invited him to my house for dinner and drinks. An unmarried girl took the initiative to invite a man to her house for dinner and drinks. Think about it yourself, what would she think? Her words were very unpleasant at the time, but I still chose to help you lie. So, she thought I was having dinner and drinks with Luo Jieyuan, not with Chu Feiyang."
After listening to this, Luo Qingzhou was silent for a long time, then he bowed his head and bowed deeply, saying, "Sister Dao, thank you very much."
Sister Dao raised her eyebrows and said, "Verbal thanks won't do. You should know what I like."
Luo Qingzhou did not hesitate at all. He immediately took out a bag of gold coins from his storage bag and handed it to her, saying, "Is ten thousand enough?"
Dao Jie naturally took it in her hand, weighed it, opened it and took a look, and said, "Are they all 100-denomination ones? I prefer the smallest denomination because they are heavier and more comfortable to carry."
When Luo Qingzhou was about to take it again, Sister Dao said, "Forget it, I still have something I need your help with."
Luo Qingzhou said: "Sister Dao, please speak."
Sister Dao put away the gold coins and said, "It's about what happened last night. My father is very optimistic about you. So, I hope you can continue to be my marriage barrier in the future. If you are willing, I will keep this secret for you. How about it?"
Luo Qingzhou asked: "How long do you need to act?"
Sister Dao thought for a moment and said, "Until my father gives up forcing me to get married, or until I find a man I like, okay?"
Luo Qingzhou said: "Will it take a little long? First, your father will never give up forcing you to get married, and second... To be honest, Sister Dao's requirements may be a bit high, and it may not be easy to find one. How about Sister Dao tell me what kind of person you like, and I will help you find one?"
Sister Dao thought about it carefully, looked at him and said, "I like the kind of scholar who is gentle and polite to others, behaves well and has a kind heart. Luo Jieyuan, do you have any?"
Luo Qingzhou was stunned for a moment and said, "Scholars? To be honest, I don't have many friends, and I don't know many scholars. But don't worry, Sister Dao, I will pay more attention in the future and try my best to help you find it."
Sister Dao said, "Before you find him, can you promise to help me deal with my father?"
Luo Qingzhou sighed and said, "Sister Dao, do you think I can refuse?"
Sister Dao couldn't help but smile and said, "Of course you can't refuse, because you don't dare."
Then he continued, "By the way, how should I call you from now on? Should I call you Luo Jieyuan or Chu Feiyang?"
Luo Qingzhou said: "Of course it's Chu Feiyang. I'm Qingzhou in literature and Feiyang in martial arts. In front of Sister Dao, I will always be Chu Feiyang."
Sister Dao stared at his face for a while and said, "I want to see your true face."
Luo Qingzhou said: "Hasn't Sister Dao seen it?"
Sister Dao said, “Indeed, I have seen it, but I didn’t know your true identity at that time, so I didn’t feel anything after seeing it.”
Luo Qingzhou glanced outside the alley and saw that no one was passing by, so he took off the mask on his face, revealing a handsome face.
Sister Dao stared at him carefully for a few seconds, then suddenly looked at the thin mask in his hand and said, "This mask of yours should be a magic weapon, right? The last time I suspected you, I hardly noticed anything unusual when I tore off your face."
Luo Qingzhou stroked the mask in his hand and said, "That should be it. After wearing it on your face, it will automatically blend into your original skin without any trace. When you want to take it off, you only need to focus your mental power on your face. With a thought, you can easily take it off."
Sister Dao looked at him and said, "Chu Feiyang, are you really the son-in-law of the Qin family? You are so talented, you can get the top score in any exam, you are talented in martial arts, and you have been promoted to the martial arts master level in just half a year. Why do you want to be a son-in-law of a lower class?"
Luo Qingzhou thought for a moment and said seriously, "Because my wife has beautiful feet."
Sister Dao laughed and said, "Is it true? By the way, Luo Qingzhou, I have seen your wife. She is indeed very pretty and bookish, but she seems too weak. She needs someone to support her when she walks. It feels like a gust of wind could blow her away. I didn't expect you would like this."
Luo Qingzhou smiled slightly, and without saying any more about the poor girl, he said, "Sister Dao, I have something else to do, so I have to leave first. I'll come to see you tomorrow morning."
Sister Dao nodded and said, "Okay, I'll take you to become my disciple tomorrow. From now on, you can call me Senior Sister. Are you happy?"
Luo Qingzhou smiled, said nothing more, waved goodbye, and left quickly.
Sister Dao suddenly said, "Chu Feiyang, I did not tell Qian Dao Xue Chi last night, but when she asked me and I guessed your identity, I didn't have time to disguise my expression. I don't know if she will doubt you, so you should be careful."
Luo Qingzhou said from a distance: "Thank you, Sister Dao, I know."
Sister Dao watched him quickly walk out of the alley and disappear at the entrance. He stood at the door for a while before turning around and preparing to go into the house.
But suddenly, she stopped and froze in place.
Her father was standing in the door, looking at her with dignity.
Luo Qingzhou hired a carriage on the street and quickly entered the inner city.
Then he went around the original route to the toilet at the back door of the bookstore and jumped directly in over the wall.
As soon as I landed, I suddenly heard a familiar voice coming from the front: "Luo Qingzhou, are you okay? If you don't speak up, I'm going in!"
The Princess Nangong has actually come out of the palace.
That was a close call!
Suddenly, footsteps were heard.
He immediately turned around and went into the toilet, untied his belt, took off his pants, and then slowly held his pants together with a painful look on his face.
“Wow!”
At this moment, the curtain at the door was suddenly lifted.
Nangong Meijiao's beautiful and cold face and tall body appeared for a moment and then suddenly disappeared.
The curtain fell back again.
"What are you doing? Why aren't you making any noise in there?"
Nangong Meijiao said outside, suppressing her anger.
Luo Qingzhou put on his pants and tied his belt while walking out slowly with weak legs. He said weakly: "Princess, I... I seem to have had a stomach upset at noon..."
Nangong Meijiao glanced at him, immediately covered her nose, ran away with a look of disgust on her face, and stood at a distance and said: "How could the food in the palace be problematic? You just came out, did you eat something else again?"
Luo Qingzhou tied his belt and said with a painful look on his face: "Princess, don't... don't talk anymore, I feel like I want to poop again."
“Whoosh—”
Nangong Meijiao immediately ran far away again and shouted in the house: "Luo Qingzhou, hire a carriage yourself and go back. Don't even think about riding in my carriage again. It stinks!"
Luo Qingzhou said: "Princess, didn't you say you would give me a gift? What gift?"
"Wait until you go back, take a shower and change your clothes."
Nangong Meijiao immediately went out and got on the carriage at the door, urging: "Auntie Mu, let's go and ignore him."
Aunt Mu agreed and drove away in the carriage.
By the time Luo Qingzhou left the bookstore, the carriage had already gone far away.
He still moved slowly, walked onto the street, hired a carriage at the crossroads, and climbed up with great difficulty.
The carriage carried him slowly towards the outer city.
After driving two streets, he suddenly pulled open the curtain beside him, stuck his head out a little, and looked behind him.
Sure enough, the carriage driven by Aunt Mu took a detour and followed behind.
Did Princess Nangong just realize something, or was she already doubting his identity? Or did she simply think that he was going to have an affair again, so she followed him secretly
Both are possible.
The carriage quickly left the inner city and came to the streets of the outer city.
Luo Qingzhou decided to leave his body and take a closer look.
He leaned back, closed his eyes, and concentrated his mind. Immediately, his soul left his body, penetrated the roof of the car, and flew up.
The carriage driven by Aunt Mu was still following slowly not far behind.
But suddenly, he discovered something else unusual.
Not far behind Aunt Mu's carriage, there was also an ordinary carriage.
At the same time, two men in coarse black clothes were following Aunt Mu's carriage quickly.
Are they the guards of the Prince’s Mansion
Obviously not.
Luo Qingzhou floated in the air. As his body was still on the carriage, he did not dare to float too far and kept his eyes fixed on the back.
No matter which street they turned, the carriage and the two men in black behind them kept following them closely, and it was obvious that they were not ordinary passers-by.
Crossed another street.
The curtain of the carriage that was following behind suddenly opened, and a head popped out from the carriage, looking at Aunt Mu's carriage in front.
When Luo Qingzhou saw that face, a cold light flashed in his eyes.
He did not hesitate any longer and immediately floated down, his soul returning to his body. Then he said to the old man driving the car outside: "Old man, I'm not going to Maple Leaf Lane. I'm going to West Lake in the west of the city to meet a friend."
"Great!"
The old man agreed, waved his whip, and hit the horse's butt.
