The people from Guiyuan Sect lived in Shaoyang Courtyard and talked with a group of students every day about scriptures and Taoism. Not only did they enjoy themselves, but they got along harmoniously.
It's just that these disciples of Guiyuan Sect, even though they behave modestly, they can't hide their arrogance in their hearts. There is no way, compared with the common people like Shaoyangyuan, these people are indeed unique. No matter whether it is the divine understanding of the great road, the smoothness of the magic, or the ingenuity of the magic weapon, no one in Shaoyang Academy can match it.
From the first day, Wu Gen stayed in Shaoyang Courtyard every day, watching Zhu Qian's paintings from a distance like stars circling the moon, or soft wind and sweet rain, explaining Taoism in simple and profound terms, or performing various magic tricks based on his heart. Have it at your fingertips. His every smile and every move attracts everyone's attention.
Wu Gen didn't get close either, for fear of causing trouble to him, but just watched from afar. People often say that there is no room for others in their eyes, and they are talking about this situation. There were more than a hundred people in the field, but they all turned a blind eye. Only the beautiful lady remained in their eyes, falling down from time to time, over and over, and never changed.
Zhu Qianhua occasionally glanced at Wu Gen in a nonchalant manner. Although he did not communicate deliberately, his cheeks were red and there was an uncontrollable smile between his brows and eyes.
With such expressions on their faces, it was natural that they could not escape the eyes of others. Bai Jianxin, who was sitting on the left side of Zhu Qian's painting, looked slightly gloomy and glanced at Wu Gen thoughtfully.
Finally, after being idle for several days, Guiyuan Zong and his party decided to take a rest for a day, either touring the mountains and rivers, or to catch up with acquaintances, and more often than not, they were invited by some people from the Shaoyang Academy. Go to banquets and have fun. The sect is very strict, so it's hard to get a chance to relax, so naturally you have to indulge a little bit.
Zhu Qianhua declined everyone's invitations, and even Bai Jianxin's personal invitation to Nangong Ping's private banquet declined. One person left the residence and walked slowly along the mountain road, looking at the surrounding scenery with boredom.
With a "plop", a person jumped out from the bushes beside the mountain road. Zhu Qianhua seemed to have not heard it, walking smoothly without even turning his head.
Wu Gen took a few steps and opened his mouth several times, but he didn't know what to say. The two of them walked together, one behind the other, half-positioned, and the atmosphere was inevitably a bit awkward.
"Qian...Qian Hua, how are you doing at Guiyuan Sect?" Wu Gen couldn't bear it any longer. He had thousands of words to say, but they turned into a plain greeting.
"Very good." Zhu Qianhua said softly, but kept walking without even looking at Wu Gen.
"Oh, I'm fine too." Wu Gen scratched his head. The other person's tone was so calm that it made him feel worried about gains and losses.
"Um."
"You've been so awesome these past two days. Even though I don't know how to practice qi, I'm still fascinated by what I've heard..."
"If I don't come to find you, then you don't want to see me." Zhu Qianhua suddenly interrupted Wu Gen, turned his head and looked straight at Wu Gen, his brows furrowed.
Looking at the other party's tightly pursed lips, Wu Gen knew something was wrong. Zhu Qianhua must have resented himself, so he could only say calmly: "I went to Guiyuan Sect to look for you, but I didn't expect you to have come to Geshan. You were trapped by the formation. After a long time, we finally reached the foot of the peak. But the person guarding the mountain gate told him to leave. I had no choice but to seize his token and then chased after him." His words were a bit long-winded, and even Wu Gen felt that he was a bit stupid.
"Huh." Zhu Qianhua turned around suddenly, pouted and walked down the mountain, but the knot between his brows was gone.
Seeing Zhu Qianhua acting like a little girl, Wu Genxuan finally felt relieved. If you are afraid, you are afraid that the other person will not be angry or happy. As long as you are still willing to be angry, it means that your heart has opened up a lot.
Although Zhu Qianhua grew up in a turbulent family and developed an elegant and quiet temperament, it does not mean that she does not have her own ideas. Facing his father at home and facing his classmates outside, he naturally hid everything.
As a living person, as a little girl who has just begun to fall in love, of course she also hopes that someone will know her feelings, indulge her a little bit, tolerate her little temper, even if she has a few quarrels, it is good, instead of being an old well without waves. Jade girl.
With a smile, he took out a rhombus mirror with a flower and bird pattern on the back and a red gemstone from his arms, and handed it to Zhu Qianhua, but the other party did not reach out to take it.
Wu Gen was not discouraged. He pulled Zhu Qianhua's sleeve and forced the mirror over.
go. As a man, you have to be thick-skinned. Is it possible for a woman to take the initiative to ask for it?
Zhu Qianhua stopped and gently took care of his young hair in the mirror. Wu Genjian's smiling face appeared in the mirror, "It's so beautiful."
"Idiot." Zhu Qianhua didn't dodge, but instead looked at Wu Gen with a rosy face.
"Qian Hua, how about I take you on the shuttle." Wu Gen suggested excitedly. The weather is sunny today and it’s a good time to overlook the mountain scenery.
"That's the one you were playing tricks on that day." Zhu Qianhua's eyes lit up, and she was a little eager to try.
The two quickly arrived at the shuttle. When they entered, Wu Gen had already placed thick cushions on the deck and surrounded them with fresh and colorful flowers. He was obviously well prepared. Holly was also brought to the boat. At this time, the bird had a layer of yellow down on its body and looked very cute. :
Sure enough, Zhu Qianhua quickly fell in love with this little bird. Dongqing looked at Wu Gen's expression and changed her past habit of not letting strangers in. She actually squinted her eyes and allowed Zhu Qianhua to do whatever he wanted.
Wu Gen was overjoyed. Zhu Qianhua was a kind-hearted person and he did the right thing by bringing Dongqing to the boat.
The shuttle rose slowly and made a big circle around Geshan. While Wu Gen was steering the boat, he introduced the scenery on the mountain and told them about their experiences after they separated.
Zhu Qianhua leaned lightly on the side of the ship, leaning on his chin with one hand and smiling in his eyes, quietly watching Wu Gen dance and brag about his story. When he heard the name Zhu Juan Three Ghosts, he couldn't help but laugh out loud. He also heard that Wu Gen had crossed the Plateau of Nirvana alone. He frowned and looked worried. Knowing that Chu Ji finally had a safe place to go, he smiled knowingly.
He never thought that Wu Gen would experience such twists and turns and thrilling things during the separation, but he couldn't help but feel warm in his heart when he thought that he returned thousands of miles away just to find himself.
"Qian Hua, how about we go faster?" Wu Gen suddenly suggested.
"OK."
The shuttle suddenly accelerated, frightening the birds nearby and fled in all directions. As Wu Gen screamed wildly, the shuttle sometimes slackened, sometimes turned sharply, and sometimes flew upside down. The deck was already in chaos. Even Holly hid in a corner of the deck shivering.
However, Zhu Qianhua stood up excitedly, her flower branches trembling, and she giggled loudly. She no longer looked like the lady she used to be, and she couldn't help but point Wu Gen in the way forward.
During the shuttle, Wu Gen's strange cry, Zhu Qianhua's laughter, and the quacking of the holly bird were all mixed together. A flying shuttle flew freely in the sky like an egret. It flew farther and farther and gradually disappeared.
In Shaoyang Courtyard, Bai Jianxin stood on the second floor of his residence, watching the shuttle fly away, and gradually tightened his grip on the window lattice. With a click, the hard window lattice made of pine wood shattered.
There was a gentle knock on the door. Bai Jianxin took a deep breath, clapped his hands, took out a clean handkerchief, gently wiped the sawdust in his hands clean, and then said calmly: "Come in."
As soon as the door opened, a man with a golden crown and a short mustache walked in, "Brother, you asked me to find out clearly. This man's name is Wu Gen. He comes from a lowly family. It is said that he is a captured bandit." He later joined the Xiang Army of Bao'an County. By some mistake, he got the identity of one of them. This man does have some abilities, and after struggling all the way, he actually entered the Shenwu Academy."
After looking at Bai Jianxin's eyes, he whispered again: "He and Senior Sister Zhu met in Dingyuan City. It is said that he had an entanglement with the son of Bao'an County Governor because of Senior Sister, and offended County Governor Qin. What's even more bizarre is that , he even provoked King Jinchun, and sent people everywhere to arrest him, but I didn’t expect that he is still alive and well."
Hearing the second half of the man's words, Bai Jianxin twitched his eyebrows and said, "A middle-aged person who can go to the Shenwu Academy is considered to have some abilities. Rong Xi, you might as well talk to the Shaoyang Academy. We and other Qi practitioners are here to confirm each other." From what I learned, this person is a martial artist who comes here every day to spy on our skills, so it’s not appropriate."
The man named Rong Xi said awkwardly: "I talked to the people in Shaoyang Yuan, but the other party said that this person had defeated Shaoyang Yuan and took away the mountain gate in one fell swoop, but they were too embarrassed to drive him away. However, just let him see, what can a fool who can't practice Qi learn? If he is driven away by force, Senior Sister Qian Hua..."
"It doesn't matter, I will explain it clearly to Qian Hua.
The reason is understandable if you think about it. "Bai Jianxin didn't care.
Rong Xi nodded and followed Bai Jianxin's words and said: "Even if a middle-aged man has some ability, how can he compete with a noble man? On this alone, there is no way he can compete with Senior Sister Zhu. Senior Brother is a little too anxious. Besides, I will be leaving in a few days, and it is possible that Wu Gen will go to Dusu Mountain to cause trouble."
"If you're not afraid of ten thousand, you're afraid of nothing. Qian Hua is still young, so it's inevitable that she will be deceived by others. I don't want her to delay her cultivation because of this. This is the foundation of her life." Bai Jianxin glared at Rong Xi.
Rong Xi understood that what he had just said aroused Bai Jianxin's dissatisfaction, and quickly said, "Senior brother, this person is just a middle-aged man. It is very simple to make him disappear. My father still has some problems in the court. With connections, we can use some means to relieve senior brother’s worries.”
"Forget it, don't use those unspeakable tricks. If possible, I would like to teach him a lesson and let him know that insects and ants have to stay on the ground, so how dare they covet the Phoenix Luan in the sky.
You might as well make arrangements and just say that you are willing to compete with Shenwuyuan. If you can defeat him in front of everyone in the sect, see if he still has the courage to disturb Qianhua. "
Bai Jianxin walked up to Rong Xi and said, "Your father sent one of your brothers to the mountain gate and the other to serve in the court. He just wanted to invest in many ways and make some achievements each. As long as you help me with all your heart, I will I will help you a lot, so that you can improve your cultivation and become a powerful person."
Rong Xi was happy in his heart and thanked him repeatedly, but suddenly frowned and said, "Senior brother, what should I do if the Shenwu Academy does not want to fight?"
Bai Jianxin sneered again and again, "Don't worry, I will use some tricks. It involves Qianhua, he will definitely fight, unless he is not a man."
Rong Xi simply did not ask the other party what plan he came up with, and turned around to find Shaoyang Yuan to arrange the relevant matters.
It was getting dark. After Wu Gen took Zhu Qian to enjoy the sunset, Fang slowly flew back in the shuttle. The two of them were walking on the mountain road, and Wu Gen casually carried a baggage, including a woman's robe from the Zhujuan Kingdom, a jade that Wu Gen regarded as a treasure, a green lotus sword belonging to the master of the Feiyun Sect, and a bunch of strange things. stuff.
These were all intended to be given to Zhu Qian Hua. Although he refused to accept them at first, Wu Gen couldn't stand Wu Gen's insistence and claimed that these were his wife's books. Zhu Qian Hua Fang accepted them with a blushing face.
Walking side by side, crickets chirped slightly around us, and fireflies flickered from time to time. Zhu Qianhua was really a little indulgent today. It was only then that she realized that she could be so wanton. Every time she thought of the scene on the boat, she couldn't help but blush.
"Qian Hua, I like you."
Zhu Qianhua, who was deep in thought, suddenly heard Wu Gen's voice and raised his head in surprise, "Huh?"
Wu Gen gritted his teeth and repeated in a deep voice, "I like you."
"Yes." Zhu Qianhua agreed in a low voice after a while, burying his head deeply in his chest.
"Do you like me?" Wu Gen was a little embarrassed.
"......Um."
