At the gate of the mansion.
Aunt Mu was driving the carriage and had been waiting there for a long time.
However, the two did not take a carriage.
Nangong Meijiao turned around and saw someone following behind her. She couldn't help but said coldly, "Xue Yi, what are you doing?"
Nangong Xueyi walked down the stairs and passed by her, looking puzzled: "Go to the bookstore, why, don't I even have the right to go to the bookstore?"
Then she waved to the young man behind her and said with a smile: "Mr. Chu, I'm leaving first. Remember to come to our house often. My mother and I like your stories very much."
After saying that, he left quickly.
Two guards walked out and followed her not too far away.
Nangong Meijiao stood there and waited for a while. After she walked away, she looked behind her and asked, "Will you come here often in the future?"
Luo Qingzhou said: "I will listen to the princess."
Nangong Meijiao raised the corner of her mouth slightly, said nothing more, and continued walking forward.
As the two of them walked out onto the street, Luo Changtian just happened to come out of the restaurant next door. Seeing them, he smiled and bowed, saying, "Greetings, Princess."
Then he smiled and said, "Congratulations, Brother Chu, for becoming Lingxiao Sect's direct disciple. I believe this result is beyond everyone's expectations."
Luo Qingzhou looked at him coldly without saying anything.
Luo Changtian bowed again and said, "To be honest, I have investigated Brother Chu in the past few days and just visited the Southern Kingdom Prince's Mansion. Although I am still skeptical about Brother Chu's identity, Brother Chu, rest assured, I will not bother Brother Chu again before I have evidence."
"You're done?"
Nangong Meijiao gave him a cold look, then pulled Luo Qingzhou away.
Luo Changtian glanced at the two men's hands, and suddenly said, "Brother Chu, are you interested in coming to the palace to talk with me? The master is eager to recruit talented people. If Brother Chu is willing to serve, I believe the master will treat you with the highest standards."
Luo Qingzhou stopped, turned his head and looked at him and said: "Not everyone is like you, who likes power and cages."
After saying that, he left quickly.
Luo Changtian stood there, looking at the backs of the two people, and the smile on his face gradually disappeared.
A Jinyiwei walked over and whispered, "Sir, we can't get into the Qin Mansion. Two people's spirits have been killed. There must be a spirit master hiding inside, or a master who can see spirits. In the past few days, except for Qin Wenzheng and his wife, and the servants who went out to do business and buy vegetables, no one else has come out of the mansion."
Luo Changtian asked: "Where is Luo Qingzhou?"
The Royal Guards replied, "He should be in the mansion. We have never seen him go out. But there are experts in the mansion. We cannot enter to check with our bodies or spirits, so we did not see him with our own eyes."
Luo Changtian's eyes gleamed, and he said, "Continue to guard."
The Royal Guard whispered, "Sir, with the authority given to us by the emperor, we can directly arrest the person and interrogate him. Even if we can't arrest the master, we can arrest a few maids and I believe that after the interrogation, there will be a result."
Luo Changtian looked at the sky outside Kyoto, was silent for a while, and said: "Wait a little longer, until the princess reaches the border and starts a war with the demon tribe. Otherwise... no one knows if she will suddenly come back."
The Royal Guards were puzzled and asked, "The Princess has been ordered to go to the border to quell the demons, why would she turn back halfway?"
Luo Changtian looked at him with a hint of sarcasm in his eyes and said, "Do you really think she will obey orders and fight the demon tribe to a mutual destruction?"
The Jinyiwei was stunned for a moment and his expression changed slightly.
Luo Changtian said nothing more and turned to walk towards the palace.
crossroads.
Luo Qingzhou separated from Nangong Meijiao, got on a hired carriage, and drove towards the martial arts hall in the outer city.
He knew that the Jinyiwei people should still be watching.
Nangong Meijiao stood on the side of the street, and after watching the carriage gradually go away, she turned around and walked back to another street, ready to visit the clothing store opened by the Qin family.
At this time, Nangong Xueyi was in the back room of the clothing store, helping out and chatting with Xiaodie.
"Xiao Die, do all of you in Mo City have the same accent? Do you all like to say words like "done", "finished", "cool"? "
"I remember your young master likes to say these words, right? I've heard him tell stories. Although most of the time, his speaking style is like other literati who like to be pedantic, but occasionally he would come up with a few very fresh words, which sounded very humorous."
"Xiao Die, was your master in the mansion last night?"
Xiaodie lowered her head to work and gave perfunctory answers, most of which were "I don't know, I forgot, I didn't pay attention" and so on.
As for the last question, she replied: "Yes, I helped you take a bath."
Nangong Xueyi asked, "Who did Mr. Luo sleep with last night?"
Xiaodie said innocently: "Of course it's the Second Miss. The Young Master and the Second Miss are husband and wife, so of course they sleep together."
When Nangong Xueyi was about to ask more questions, the door curtain suddenly opened and Nangong Meijiao walked in. She looked at her coldly and said, "Xueyi, why are you here? Didn't you go to the bookstore?"
Nangong Xueyi stroked the clothes in her hand and said, "There's no one in the bookstore. It's boring. I came here to take a look."
Then he looked at her and said, "Why, this is not your store, you can't let me come?"
Nangong Meijiao said coldly: "Go out, don't disturb Xiaodie from doing her work."
Nangong Xueyi snorted coldly: "Why should I listen to you? I'm your sister, you...ah!"
Before she could finish her words, Nangong Meijiao had already violently pulled her out.
"Damn it! Meijiao, just wait! If Master Chu comes to the mansion again, I will never speak up for you again, humph!"
Nangong Xueyi was driven out directly. She stood at the door and stomped her feet angrily. After saying some harsh words for a while, she left angrily.
Nangong Meijiao returned to the inner room and looked at Xiaodie and asked, "What did she ask you?"
Xiaodie put down the needlework in her hand, glanced at the door, and repeated all the questions that the Snow-clad Princess had asked just now, and then whispered: "Don't worry, Princess, the Second Miss specifically told me this morning, so I didn't say anything."
Nangong Meijiao narrowed her eyes, a hint of thought flashing across her brows.
Xiaodie whispered, "Princess, is Princess Xueyi suspicious of something?"
Nangong Meijiao said gently: "It's okay, don't worry about that girl. Xiaodie, just do your job well and listen to Weimo."
Xiaodie said obediently: "Yes."
Nangong Meijiao turned and left the room, her expression becoming serious.
That girl really should not be underestimated. I could actually hear something unusual from her storytelling style and a few words.
She has to go talk to Wei Mo about it.
Although she didn't want to admit it, she had to admit that the girl had been very smart since she was a child, and only Wei Mo could surpass her.
Luo Qingzhou took a carriage and arrived at the Eighteenth Lane in the south of the outer city.
At the entrance of the alley, Sister Dao was wearing a black suit, with her silver hair tied into a short ponytail. She was holding a piece of cake in her hand and standing there with her long legs together, looking heroic, but she seemed a little impatient.
Just as she was about to leave, Luo Qingzhou finally appeared.
Sister Dao threw the pancake in her hand over and said unhappily: "Chu Feiyang, I thought you were not coming today. If you come so late next time, I will not wait for you anymore."
Luo Qingzhou took the pancake, took a bite, and said, "Sister, you really keep your word. You are willing to accept the loss. The pancake tastes good. Thank you."
Sister Dao snorted coldly: "Really? I spit."
Luo Qingzhou took another big bite and said, "No wonder it tastes so good, it turns out there's Sister Dao's saliva in it."
"roll!"
Sister Dao raised her long legs and kicked him in the butt, but he dodged it easily.
The two men walked towards the martial arts gym while arguing with each other.
"Chu Feiyang, you have a different identity now. Do you feel superior when you look at us?"
Sister Dao suddenly asked.
Luo Qingzhou looked at her and said, "Senior Sister, are you insulting my character?"
Sister Dao raised her eyebrows and asked, "Do you still have any character?"
Luo Qingzhou didn't bother to pay attention to her. He finished his biscuit, took out some water from his storage bag, drank a few sips, and said, "I don't have much time left."
Sister Dao was stunned for a moment, looked at him and asked, "What time?"
Luo Qingzhou did not answer.
The two walked into the alley.
Sister Dao suddenly said: "Chu Feiyang, if you need help, you can tell me. Although you don't think highly of my strength, I have other strengths."
Hearing this, Luo Qingzhou took a look at her long legs.
“Bang!”
Sister Dao raised her long legs, but before she could kick him, he grabbed her ankle.
"release!"
Not only did Luo Qingzhou not let go, he suddenly grabbed her feet and started running forward.
"Chu Feiyang! Let go, you bastard!"
Sister Dao couldn't help herself, so she jumped and ran after him on one leg. She was angry and amused at the same time. She couldn't help laughing while cursing.
When she jumped to the entrance of the martial arts gym, Zhou Boyao and Chu Xiaoxiao just happened to come from the alley opposite.
Seeing this scene, both of them were stunned.
Sister Dao was ashamed and angry. She beat him on the back, jumping and beating him, and said anxiously: "Chu Feiyang, let me go!"
Chu Xiaoxiao laughed loudly behind him.
Zhou Boyue also had a smile on his face.
“Swish!”
Sister Dao actually took out her broadsword.
Seeing that she was getting angry, Luo Qingzhou let her go, quickly stepped back a few steps, and said, "Senior Sister, don't kick me next time."
"Asshole! Take my knife!"
The broadsword in Sister Dao's hand swung with a "swish" sound, and with a whistling sound, it chopped directly towards him.
Luo Qingzhou did not dodge or retreat, but punched the blade with a cold and flashing blade. A golden light flashed on his fist, and a layer of golden film appeared.
“Zheng—”
There was a buzzing sound of metal colliding and sparks flew.
The knife in Sister Dao's hand was actually shaken away.
However, the back of Luo Qingzhou's hand was completely intact.
Sister Dao was stunned for a moment, put away her knife, looked at his fist and said, "Chu Feiyang, what kind of skill is this?"
Luo Qingzhou stroked the golden gloves on his fist and said, "This is called the Vajra Fist. I chose it at the sect's Sutra Library. I have only practiced it to the second level. It looks good."
After these words were spoken, the three of them were all filled with envy.
Chu Xiaoxiao suddenly said, "Oh, by the way, Master promised us that if our team can get into the top fifteen in this competition, he will give us gold coins and magic tools as rewards. How come he seems to have forgotten? Could he have changed his mind?"
Sister Dao said, "I'll go ask again in a couple of days. Master will definitely not go back on his word."
The four of them entered the martial arts hall while talking.
After greeting Sun Jiang, Luo Qingzhou went directly to the martial arts training ground at the back to continue practicing the Vajra Fist.
Near noon, he gained some insights into the sword's power.
During lunch, he suddenly thought of a question and asked Sister Dao, "Sister Dao, do you need to practice Dao Yi when practicing Dao techniques?"
Sister Dao was slightly startled when she heard this, and said, "Of course, although it is of no use now, when you have a higher level of cultivation, the effect of the sword will come out. When you have the sword, the power of the sword will be taken to a higher level, and you will even reach the realm where no sword is better than a sword."
After hearing this, Luo Qingzhou thought to himself: The sword and the knife are indeed connected.
Thinking of this, he immediately said: "Senior Sister, after dinner, let's go and have a chat together."
Sister Dao looked at him suspiciously and asked, "What are you talking about? Are you also interested in knives?"
Chu Xiaoxiao on the side interrupted with a smile: "Maybe Senior Brother Chu is not interested in the knife, but Sister Dao."
Sister Dao said calmly, "They don't think highly of me."
Luo Qingzhou ignored them and was thinking about a sword technique, the flame sword.
In fact, it is a palm knife that releases internal force, which is quite similar to the Six Meridians Divine Sword. I wonder if it can also pass through the same meridians and acupoints.
Since Sister Dao has cultivated the sword spirit, she must have sword energy and internal strength in her body, so maybe she can use it.
He decided to discuss it with Sister Dao in the afternoon.
If Sister Dao can learn it, her strength will surely improve by leaps and bounds and reach a higher level. Just think of it as a reward for Sister Dao's help.
