After he finished practicing the sword technique, the sun had yet to rise.
Dugu Ce returned to the small building. Seeing that Ren Meimei was still sleeping, he didn't disturb her. He went to the top floor of the small building and sat on the roof, facing the eastern sky.
When the sun rose and the first wisp of purple qi came from the east, Dugu Ce breathed out the old and absorbed the new, cultivating with the purple qi. After cultivating for an hour, he finally stopped.
At this moment, the person Princess Dong Ming sent to invite Dugu Ce had already arrived outside the Emerald Courtyard.
Dugu Ce came to the bed and stroked Ren Meimei's hair. He said gently,""Mei Niangzi, I'm leaving now.”
Ren Meimei, who was in a deep sleep, suddenly woke up. She turned around and grabbed his hand, whispering softly,"When…will we meet again?"
"There will be a chance." Dugu Ce smiled, took out a hairpin flower, and stuck it into her temple." If you need anything, come to Luoyang to find me."”
"Yes." Ren Meimei replied softly. She looked at him with her bright eyes, which were full of attachment.
She could not forget this man after a single night of pleasure.
Dugu Ce kissed her again and then strode away.
Ren Meimei looked at his back and felt her heart ache for some reason. She started to cry.
Dugu Ce left Emerald Court and met up with the people Princess Dongming had sent to invite him.
They were two women, one fat and one thin. Their looks were not to be complimented, and they called themselves Young Master Li Zhi's maidservants. Dugu Ce knew that they were two of the four guardian fairies of Eastern Sea Sect. The fat one was called Shan Yudie, and the skinny one was called Shan Qing.
Even though Dugu Ce wasn't interested in the appearance of these two so-called 'goddesses', he still behaved politely and didn't show any disdain.
Shan Qing and Shan Yudie led Dugu Ce into a carriage and headed out of the city. After walking for the entire morning, they finally arrived at a pier by Weishan Lake at noon. The three of them got off the boat and boarded a boat. Shan Qing and Shan Yudie took turns to row the boat and went deep into Weishan Lake. It wasn't until dusk that the huge ship of the Eastern Sea Sect appeared in Dugu Ce's sight.
From morning to dusk, they traveled by car and boat for an entire day. Even lunch was settled on the boat, and they only ate some simple dishes. Shan Qing and Shan Yudie apologized profusely, saying that they had neglected their distinguished guests. However, Dugu Ce remained polite and did not show any dissatisfaction.
Qi Practitioners had a tenacious mind, which allowed him to have a lot of patience. If he didn't have this patience, then there was no need to talk about seeking immortality.
The small boat docked the East Ocean Ship, and Dugu Ce, Shan Qing, and Shan Yudie boarded the ship. As soon as he got on the deck, he saw a handsome young man in white leading two middle-aged men to welcome him.
"I am Shang Ming." The young man in white cupped his fists and bowed to Dugu Ce. He was polite, but his expression and tone were very indifferent. There was even hostility in his eyes.
Dugu Ce knew that Shang Ming was narrow-minded and was hostile to all the young men who had dealings with Princess Dong Ming, Dan Wanjing. He wasn't targeting him alone. He didn't mind and returned the greeting with a smile,""Nice to meet you."
Seeing that Dugu Ce didn't have the airs of a scion of a tycoon family, Shang Ming's expression softened a little. He introduced two big men to him, Shang Bang and Shang Kuitai. The two of them went forward to greet Dugu Ce. Dugu Ce was still courteous and returned the greeting one by one.
After greeting him, Shan Qing and Shan Yudie led Dugu Ce into the cabin. Shang Ming and the other two didn't follow him. They stayed on the deck and watched Dugu Ce's back.
"This pretty boy is Dugu Ce, the one who defeated Du Fuwei and Shen Luoyan's joint attack by himself?”"You really can't judge a book by its cover," Shang Bang said in a low voice."At first glance, I thought you were a weak scholar."”
"That's right," said Shang Kuitai."His inner breath is deeply restrained. At first glance, he doesn't seem to have any martial arts." If I didn't know his name, I would have been wrong. However, I thought that Dugu Ce, as a scion of a noble family, would have high standards and look down on us foreigners. I didn't expect him to be so polite and not treat us as lowly barbarians. This person is really not bad."
"What's even rarer is that he didn't do it on purpose," Shang Bang said with a smile. I can feel that he really doesn't look down on us.”
"Humph!" Hearing the two praise Dugu Ce, Shang Ming's handsome face sank as he coldly said,"There must be something you want from others. If you don't have anything to do, you'll be a thief. The aristocratic families ran amok, and none of them were good.”
After saying that, he flicked his sleeves and left.
Shang Bang and Kui Tai looked at each other.
Dugu Ce followed Shan Yudie and Shan Qing into the cabin below the deck. There was a long corridor in the middle with more than ten doors on both sides. The corridor was decorated very exquisitely. More than ten exquisite chandeliers hung from the ceiling of the corridor, reflecting the dark carved patterns on the walls. The ground was covered with green carpet, like a lush grassland.
Shan Qing and Shan Yudie led Dugu Ce to the end of the corridor and to a large door. Dan Qing pushed the door open and said with a smile,"My young master is inside.”After saying that, he stood by the door with his hands hanging by his side.
Dugu Ce smiled and nodded at the two women before entering the door. After entering the door, he walked past an ink screen and his eyes lit up.
It was a very spacious room with dozens of candlesticks lit up, giving it plenty of light. There were bookshelves all around, and a large table was placed by the window. A lady in red was sitting in front of a table. She was holding a blue book in her hand and was flipping through it.
Hearing the sound from the door, the girl looked up. When she saw Dugu Ce, her charming face immediately showed a touch of joy. She stood up and said,"You're here?" His voice was crisp and pleasant to the ears, unlike the rough voice he deliberately made yesterday when he pretended to be a man.
"Eh, did I enter the wrong room?”Dugu Ce pretended to be surprised and looked around."Didn't Young Master Li Zhi invite me here?”
"What are you pretending for?" The girl stomped her foot and said. I don't believe that you can't tell."
Dugu Ce smiled and took two steps forward.""I see. When Ce first saw the girl yesterday, he was secretly surprised. How could there be such a beautiful young master in the world? So it wasn't a young master, but a lady. Sun Ce greets you. May I ask your name? Can you enlighten me?”
"She's called Shan Wanjing, remember that."”
"Shan Wanjing, a good name. It's a perfect match for a beauty like you.”Dugu Ce took two steps forward and smiled."Don't worry, Wanjing. Such a moving name is engraved in Ce's heart and will never be forgotten.”
Seeing his smile, Shan Wanjing's heart went into a trance again, and her pretty face blushed again. She quickly lowered her head and held her heart with her hands."You're a person who talks so much the moment you arrive. As expected of the famous number one young master of the wind in Luoyang, a playboy…If I had known earlier, I wouldn't have met you.”
"Wanjing, don't be angry.”Although he was no longer spouting nonsense, Dugu Ce took two more steps forward and was already very close to Shan Wanjing.
