After entering the house, Qiu Shaochan set up a barrier and said angrily,"Fu Yuanhao and Dai Yuhuang are not good people. One uses a chicken feather as an arrow, and the other is a smiling tiger. I, Qiu Shaochan, have never seen such an impudent servant in all my years of wandering outside! Who would let a man and a woman squeeze into the same courtyard?”
" Forget it," Yun Zhaoling advised." We're not here to play anyway. If we can find out the truth as soon as possible, we can leave as soon as possible."”"Investigate?" Qiu Shaochan said,"Don't think that there are few people outside the courtyard. I dare to bet that there are countless people lying in ambush outside the courtyard!" If we dare to take a step, they will dare to jump out and stop us!”
"I think Yan Xing and the others have a way." There was no reason that even a strand of hair couldn't be pulled out when she was already inside.”"That's true." "The more they act like this, the more it proves that they have something up their sleeves.”"If those demon corpses are really related to the West City, or even City Lord Liu, then wouldn't Yan Xing be in a dilemma?" Yun Zhaoling asked. He's my biological father after all."
Qiu Shaochan sighed." Although he's of my own blood, City Lord Liu has never really cared about Yan Xing all these years." I heard that he was often beaten up when he was young and suffered a lot. I think if Yan Xing still had any feelings for City Lord Liu, he wouldn't have brought us into Xiluo Mountain so brazenly.”Yun Zhaoling shook his head." I didn't expect there to be such parents in the world."”
Qiu Shaochan looked at Yun Zhaoling and said," The world is so big that there are all kinds of strange things. Not every father and mother will dote on their children. However, you are right. He is also his biological father. If the matter of the demon corpse really has something to do with City Lord Liu, Yan Xing will not feel too good. Hopefully, everything is just an illusion.”
"Do you know Fu Yuanhao and Dai Yuhuang?”Fu Moran looked at Liu Yanxing, who was wiping the flute at the table. Liu Yanxing said,""Dai Yuhuang has seen it before, but it was not eye-catching at that time. As far as I know, he should be an orphan with a strange temperament. She didn't expect him to become so slick after a few hundred years. As for Fu Yuanhao, his family was considered to be well-known in West City. His personality had always been like this. He did not like to talk much and was more rigid.”
Fu Moran said," Dai Yuhuang is quite scheming. I think he has the final say in everything in the mountain."”Liu Yanxing said," Then I don't really understand. Since Dai Yuhuang is so capable, and he has the final say in the matters of the mountain, why is he still lower than Fu Yuanhao in name?"”Liu Yanxing and Fu Moran looked at each other and said in unison,""It's a cover-up."
"Why?" Liu Yanxing asked.”Fu Moran sighed." Yanxing, things have already come to this. Are you sure you want to continue investigating?"”Liu Yanxing turned his gaze back and fell silent." Although he didn't treat me well, he's still my father. I know what kind of person he is. Although he wasn't so righteous and wasn't so glorious, he shouldn't be so evil.”
"But the Ye family has never had any grudges with him, so this matter is naturally not groundless.”Liu Yanxing put down the green flute in his hand." I also hope to find out the truth as soon as possible so that I can feel at ease.”Fu Moran said," But the Ye family and the Fu family have always been at odds, and City Lord Liu has always been close to my father..." Liu Yanxing shook his head." Just as Shaochan said, the Ye family is not someone who would use their power to take revenge, and they would not frame me for no reason." If the Ye family really had selfish motives, they wouldn't have let the two of us investigate together.”
" But…" Liu Yanxing said,""I feel that the two brothers of the Ye family have something to say, most likely because they are worried about the two of us.”Fu Moran said," The innocent will be innocent and the murky will be murky. When the investigation goes on and there are clues, they will naturally say it." Don't think too much about it. Let's rest."
Just as Fu Moran was about to dispel the barrier, Liu Yanxing suddenly asked,""That night…what happened between you and Ye Xiaolin?”Fu Moran paused and looked at Liu Yanxing.""If I said that I never saw Ye Xiaolin that night, would you believe me?”Liu Yanxing was surprised at first, but then he said,""Of course I believe you. Otherwise, I wouldn't have protected you in front of Chang You. But she clearly stayed in your courtyard for a night, and you were indeed inside that night. How could…"
Fu Moran was silent for a moment before saying,""Although there are some things that we haven't found out the truth yet, if we look at the whole thing, we will understand a little.”Liu Yanxing thought for a moment and couldn't help but frown." Could it be..." Fu Moran sighed." I hope not, and I don't want to believe it." Although it has been so long, I believe that the truth will come out one day.”
"Zhaoling, what do you plan to do?" Liu Yanxing asked.”" Let nature take its course," Fu Moran said." As long as she's safe, I'll be at ease."”"But she'll have to get married sooner or later, and so will you." In the past, you didn't understand your feelings and didn't dare to admit them. You already know that you like her, so how can you watch her marry someone else?”
" Of course I can't," Fu Moran said." But…what happened that day was too complicated. I'm afraid that if she follows me back to Tianhui City, she'll be in danger."”Liu Yanxing pursed her lips." You think Valley Master Yun is so generous?!" I think you guys should just stay in Lianghu Mountain for a long time. You're the vice palace master of the Stealth Palace anyway.”" If she really knew some important secret back then," Fu Moran said," Do you think she would be fine if she hid in Lianghu Mountain?"”
Liu Yanxing looked at Fu Moran in surprise." Didn't she…go to you because of the demon world?"”Fu Moran sighed." If that's the case, she could have told me directly even if she didn't see me." Even if he didn't tell me, wouldn't it be the same if he told others?”Liu Yanxing's expression turned serious." Is that so?”" Of course…" Fu Moran said," This is just my guess."”
Early the next morning, Dai Yuhuang came over. After the few of them finished their breakfast, he led them around the mountain. Xiluo Mountain was quite big and the scenery was pretty good. However, it was still a little inferior compared to Lianghu Mountain. It seemed to lack some spiritual energy. That's true. Lianghu Mountain had Yaotian, this demon god, overseeing it. How could it not be spiritual?
Lunch was held in the banquet hall. The dishes were well prepared. Qiu Shaochan was holding back her anger, so she started eating without a word as soon as she sat down. Yun Zhaoling also started to eat. Anyway, he had a companion. Dai Yuhuang laughed and raised her glass to toast,""Young masters and young ladies have worked hard along the way. It's my fault for not entertaining you well.”
Just as Dai Yuhuang was about to raise her head to drink, she saw Qiu Shaochan raise the wine glass in front of her and pause for a moment. Then, she turned her hand and poured the glass over. The wine in the glass spilled out. Qiu Shaochan poured the wine glass on the table and continued eating. Yun Zhaoling looked at Dai Yuhuang's expression. Qiu Shaochan did not give him any face, but he still smiled.
Dai Yuhuang put down her wine glass and stood up to bow to Qiu Shaochan." Miss Qiu, are you blaming me for treating you badly?”Qiu Shaochan put down her chopsticks and crossed her arms as she looked at Dai Yuhuang." So you know your place."”"What should I do to appease Miss Qiu's anger?"”Qiu Shaochan's eyes darted around." The acting manager is a talented man. To be able to sit in the position of manager of Xiluo Mountain, he must be multi-talented.”
Yun Zhaoling ate quietly. He was a steward and a Shangxian. Although he was a slave, he was still a slave. It seemed that being tricked by her as a friend was already a good treatment. Dai Yuhuang lowered her eyes and smiled." Miss Qiu, you praise me too much. I will play a tune to liven up the atmosphere for all the young masters and young ladies. How about it?”Qiu Shaochan clapped her hands." The substitute steward is straightforward. Even if you don't caress her well, we won't mind.”
Yun Zhaoling choked and quickly drank two mouthfuls of tea to get the food down his throat. Dai Yuhuang sat down in the south and someone brought her a zither. Dai Yuhuang's slender fingers plucked a few notes on the zither, and then she officially started playing. She also sang softly,""The green hills are covered with cypresses, and the stones in the ravine are clear. Life between heaven and earth, suddenly like a traveler far away. It's not bad to have fun while drinking…"
The sound of the zither was melodious and the singing was slow, but they complemented each other. Not only was Qiu Shaochan surprised, even Fu Moran and Liu Yanxing raised their eyebrows and looked at Dai Yuhuang, who was immersed in the music. After the song ended, no one could come back to their senses in time. Dai Yuhuang stood up and bowed." I'm sorry."”With that, Dai Yuhuang returned to her previous seat. The southern seat and zither were also taken away.
Dai Yuhuang looked at Qiu Shaochan." I wonder if Miss Qiu is satisfied?"”Yun Zhaoling thought, How could I not be satisfied? Qiu Shaochan must have been moved by this amazing song. As expected, Qiu Shaochan poured herself another cup of wine." The Acting Manager is indeed an outstanding talent."”The cup of apology wine on behalf of Yuhuang was finally offered.
Yun Zhaoling got up and left the banquet hall to relieve himself. When he came back and passed by the corridor, he bumped into Dai Yuhuang. Dai Yuhuang hurriedly took two steps back and bowed."I was rash, please forgive me, Miss Yun.”Yun Zhaoling looked at Dai Yuhuang strangely." It's fine."”Dai Yuhuang heaved a sigh of relief and walked past Yun Zhaoling. Yun Zhaoling was about to get up when he suddenly felt something under his feet.
Yun Zhaoling looked down and saw a pink and green lotus knot. Yun Zhaoling bent down to pick it up and looked at it carefully. The knot was very detailed and vivid. "Please come back, Deputy Steward." Yun Zhaoling hurriedly said to Hua Ling.”"Yes, sir!" Hua Ling turned around and left. After a while, she came back with Dai Yuhuang. Dai Yuhuang bowed to Yun Zhaoling." May I know what Miss Yun has to say?"”
Yun Zhaoling handed the lotus knot in his hand to Dai Yuhuang." The substitute steward dropped something. I saw that this lotus knot was very well made, and I carried it with me for the sake of the steward." Presumably, it must be something that was cherished by the caretaker, so he could not casually leave it behind.”Dai Yuhuang took the lotus knot and looked up at Yun Zhaoling's expression. She then lowered her eyes and said,"Thank you, Miss Yun. This item is indeed very important to me.”
Yun Zhaoling nodded with a smile and turned to leave. Dai Yuhuang stood up and looked at Yun Zhaoling's back, a trace of doubt flashing in her eyes.
"Master." Hua Ling said to Yun Zhaoling,"That Dai Yuhuang is acting weird. I'm afraid she doesn't have any good intentions."”"Naturally." " It's normal that I, a small immortal, can't sense his tracks," Yun Zhaoling said." But he, a Shangxian, actually didn't notice me, a small immortal, and even bumped into me. Naturally, it's very strange."”
Yun Zhaoling couldn't help but think of the lotus knot. He said in silence,""Don't tell anyone else about this. If Shaochan finds out, it'll be another disaster.”Hua Ling agreed. Although Qiu Shaochan was making a fuss, she was still relatively clear-headed.
"Needlework?" Qiu Shaochan shook her head." We focus on cultivation. It's the same for men and women. Needlework wasn't listed as a cultivation class. Other than those who did not have a good family background, they would learn to embroider or weave things to supplement their families. Some families with extremely strict family rules would also specially hire people to teach their daughters needlework skills, but they were not very strict. They just wanted to earn a reputation for being talented.”
"Then…are there any male families who learn needlework?" Yun Zhaoling asked.”Qiu Shaochan laughed." Zhaoling, why would you think that? The men in Tianhui City were naturally proud of being able to advance their celestial spiritual energy. Why would they touch the things of ordinary women? By the way, why did you suddenly ask such a strange question?”
Yun Zhaoling turned around and said," I can't sleep. I'm going upstairs to cultivate my immortal energy for a while."”Qiu Shaochan yawned." Then I won't accompany you anymore. I'm very sleepy. I'll rest first." Hua Ling, keep a close eye on your master. If there's anything unusual, alert us immediately.”Hua Ling complied and accompanied Yun Zhaoling out of the house before flying up to the roof.
Yun Zhaoling sat cross-legged on the roof, closed his eyes, and slowly circulated the immortal energy in his body. The things that happened during the day still made her unable to calm down. She had a feeling that Dai Yuhuang had deliberately dropped the lotus knot. Why? Wasn't it just for him to see? Why was that so? Could it be that he had met Dai Yuhuang before, or was she the real owner of the lotus knot?
"What are you thinking about?" Suddenly, a familiar voice came from beside her ear. Yun Zhaoling came back to his senses. As expected, Fu Moran had already sat beside her. Yun Zhaoling took a deep breath and calmed the celestial spiritual energy in his body. He sighed and said,""I suddenly want to retrieve my lost 500 years of memory.”Fu Moran glanced at Yun Zhaoling." If it was in the past…would it matter if I had bad memories?”
"I don't know." "But won't you also lose a lot of precious memories?" Yun Zhaoling asked. What if it was you?" Fu Moran shook her head." Of course, there are sad times, but there are also good times. I don't want to lose them."”Yun Zhaoling nodded." Yes, I'll ask Yaotian to think of a way when we get back."”
As the two of them were talking, they suddenly saw sparks of fire at the foot of the mountain. Then, a commotion began, and it became louder and louder. The two of them stood up and flew off the roof. Liu Yanxing and the two Ye brothers also put on their clothes and left the house. "What happened?" Qiu Shaochan opened the door sleepily and said angrily,""I just laid down." After a while, Xiaonu Zhou Lan in the courtyard came forward and reported,""Young masters and young ladies, the people of the Demon Realm have barged in.”
The few of them were surprised. Qiu Shaochan said,"That easy? I saw that you guys were blocking us quite well.”Zhou Lan lowered his head, not daring to answer. "Since that's the case, let's go and take a look."”The few of them exchanged glances and understood. Without waiting for Zhou Lan to say anything, Yun Zhaoling, Qiu Shaochan, Liu Yanxing, Fu Moran, Ye Xiaojian, Ye Xiaoyu, Shihuan, and Hualing flew out of the courtyard together.
As soon as the eight of them flew out of the courtyard, they saw dozens of people suddenly appear around them and quickly surround them. One of them said in a clear voice," Young masters and ladies, it's very dangerous for the Devil Realm to challenge the mountain. Please stay for a while…" Before the man could finish his words, Liu Yanxing sent out a stream of immortal energy and sent the man far away." As the immortal masters and immortal lords of Tianhui City, how can we just sit back and watch the Devil Realm challenge the mountain?" If anyone dares to stop me today, I will treat them as my accomplices in the Demon Realm and show no mercy!”
The person who spoke steadied himself and bowed to Liu Yanxing."This subordinate is also following the orders of the two stewards.”As they spoke, dozens of people rushed towards the eight of them. Yun Zhaoling and the others each used their weapons. Fu Moran, Ye Xiaojian and Shi Huan stood at the outermost perimeter. Liu Yanxing, Yun Zhaoling, Qiu Shaochan, Ye Xiaoyu and Hua Ling took the opportunity to attack the people with similar strength.
