The money rat retreated in the tavern street. It seemed that Bai Feng's side had the upper hand. At least those who witnessed it thought so.
But within a day, Bai Feng's reputation spread throughout the tavern street - he single-handedly picked off the rat and hunchback, and then showed his kindness and explained the other person's feelings. Such a good story is just right for the taste of the kid on the street. As a result, many more people came to Yuyi Academy to see Bai Feng.
Zhao Xiaomei, who was in charge of the daily affairs of the academy, couldn't help but worry about this, because even she didn't know why Bai Feng and Murong Yan were wandering around with Junior Brother Jingji all day long.
When the little girl has nothing to do, she will go to Bai Feng's private residence alone to wait for her master's return, and then search there. No matter what, she wanted to know: had Murong Yan already taken the lead? In fact, she already knew the secrets about the Zhao family.
Bai Feng and Murong Yan never closed their doors tightly. Even if they occasionally went out for a long trip, they would not lock the door.
From this, Zhao Xiaomei was able to easily enter the private residence. She just walked around and took a look, and soon understood why this family was so tolerant. It's just because the house is really quiet and elegant. Apart from some daily utensils, there is only a piano, a flute, and a book basket.
When the little thief who came to visit saw this scene, he would only complain in his heart: "Oh, my trip was in vain again!"
Today, Zhao Xiaomei is this "little thief".
There was indeed nothing in that house, but there were many traces of life left in it.
The ashes of the stove are still emitting hot charcoal, the incense burner is still emitting fragrant incense, and new candles have just been replaced in front of the altar. Zhao Xiaomei followed Murong Yan's example and lit the stove, put the incense beside her, cleaned the dust in front of the altar, then opened the door, sat in front of the piano, and softly made a few sounds.
In a daze, she felt that she was Murong Yan, and the young swordsman was sitting not far away, gently responding with the sound of the flute. For a moment, she couldn't help herself.
Some students thought that Bai Feng and Murong Yan were really back, so they suddenly ran to the door and greeted: "Senior Brother Bai, Senior Sister Murong!"
Zhao Xiaomei was startled by this, quickly stood up from her seat, and replied: "No, it's me..."
"Is it Miss Zhao? Why are you here, but you want to see how we are doing in practice?"
"Yes, yes!" After the little girl said it, the disciple returned to the school grounds to inform Su Qing, and then walked up to the plum blossom pile to practice his movements in high spirits.
Su Qing saw Miss Zhao sitting there alone with a sad look on her face. She walked over with a smile and asked, "I dare to ask Miss Zhao, when did you realize the Supreme Light Kung Fu, and even I didn't notice that you were here?" ?”
"There is no such thing as Qinggong! It's just that before you come to the school grounds, I... will arrive a few quarters of an hour." The younger sister replied.
Su Qing thought that the other party was the young girl Huaichun and wanted to meet Bai Feng, so she twirled her beard and pretended to know everything, and joked: "Isn't Miss Zhao looking at things and missing people? After all, it's been half a month since we last met, and As soon as he came out of confinement a few days ago, he disappeared every day. Even I only said a few words to him. "
"You!" Zhao Xiaomei suddenly recalled that Su Qing had teased her about her unreasonable thoughts about Bai Feng in the past. She simply did not refute, and had no choice but to follow his wishes and continue to aggressively say: "So what? Su Qing, I advise you. Don't make irresponsible remarks in front of everyone, otherwise, I can kick you out at any time!"
Su Qing said: "Hahaha... I guessed it right!"
"You only guessed half of it, why are you so proud?" Zhao Xiaomei continued to explain: "You don't know that Sister Murong came to me at night half a month ago, begging me to secretly investigate what the Zhao family is plotting... I infer that, The current whereabouts of Young Master Bai and Sister Murong are uncertain today, which is related to that incident! Therefore, I thought of trying my luck at their residence to see if there are any special clues..."
"Um." Su Qing thought for a while and replied: "Brother Bai and the others stayed away all night yesterday and did not tell me their whereabouts in advance. It is really suspicious. Since it is Miss Zhao's concern, I, Su Qing, should help you solve your problems." .”
The younger sister was worried and said, "You, what are you going to do?"
"Miss Zhao, don't worry about it now!" Before Su Qing could finish her words, someone behind a certain window echoed and said, "Miss Zhao, just leave this matter to us!"
I saw a pretty girl wearing the same Tsing Yi skirt as Su Qing climbed over the window and landed on the ground easily.
"Ms. Zhao, this is the first time we meet. My name is Yue Qingling!" Yue Qingling has now taken off her beggar attire and has a thick braid on her head. There is also a butterfly-shaped decoration at the end of the braid, which hangs down to her waist.
But seeing that Yue Qingling didn't hesitate in her words, she got closer and closer to Zhao Xiaomei, her eyes widened, as if she wanted to recognize each other clearly.
"Qingling, why are you eavesdropping on me again! Go, go, I haven't let you out yet!" Su Qing grabbed the little sister when Yue Qingling was about to pounce in front of her, and dragged her back to the school field.
When the younger sister saw the two senior brothers and sisters playing around, she found it very interesting and watched them go out with a smile. But for a moment, Ajuan, who was suffering from no help around him, came to the school grounds and asked all the brothers: "Have you seen my little sister? I am the only one left to visit the medical center. I am almost exhausted." Got it!"
Everyone pointed to the residence behind them, and Ajuan hurriedly walked over. When he met the little girl, he immediately rushed towards her in mourning, complaining: "Why did Miss Murong suddenly disappear? And you too, the slave family is such a bad person. How can a stupid girl with no skills cope with so many disciples and patients? That Tao Wuyong, who has been delayed on the road for so many days without seeing anyone, did he go somewhere to play in the middle of the way... The Nu family also wants to go out to play !”
"Sister Ajuan, I'm going to help you. Don't cry. There are many people watching." The little girl said as she led Ajuan out of the private residence, apologized to everyone on the school grounds, and then left through the road. .
Unexpectedly, as soon as he stepped out of the door, he met Bai Feng and others who had just returned.
The younger sister was overjoyed to see that Bai Feng and Murong Yan were safe and sound, and hurriedly walked away to greet them: "Mr. Bai, Sister Murong, where have you been?"
"Little sister, we are just going out to do some things. It's nothing serious." Murong Yan smiled and took Zhao Xiaomei's hand and replied.
Bai Feng spoke from the side and said, "Miss Zhao, nothing happened in the academy, right?"
"No, no." The younger sister said, "There are just some strange rumors..."
As soon as he finished speaking, a junior brother jumped out from behind Bai Feng and bowed to Xiaomei Zhao, saying: "Senior Brother Bai, Miss Zhao, if there is nothing else important, then I will go back and continue practicing."
"Junior Brother Jingjia?" The younger sister saw Jingjia's face was green and purple, and the clothes on his body were torn. She couldn't help but asked worriedly: "Where did you have the conflict with others?"
"No, it's okay." In Jingjie's words, it seemed as if yesterday's experience was nothing but a passing moment: "It's just minor injuries and pains, nothing to mention."
When Murong Yan saw that Jing Ji had just returned and was going to practice Kung Fu, she felt sympathy and offered to send him to a medical clinic to recuperate for a day. Ajuan knew that Murong Yan's knowledge of medicine was much better than hers, and deep down in her heart she just wanted her to go back and take charge of the medical clinic, so she also said, "Ms. Murong is right, Ajing, look at you, you can't even walk steadily. And you can practice martial arts like a master!"
Jingji looked at Bai Feng hesitantly and asked, "Senior brother, should I go heal first?"
"Oh, you go! Even if I don't let you go, I will definitely not be able to argue with them. As for your unique set of 'sword skills', we will ask for advice in the future." After Bai Feng said this, he left and returned. Room.
Zhao Xiaomei originally wanted to leave Bai Feng behind to ask him clearly, but seeing that he was physically and mentally exhausted and unwilling to say anything, no matter how great her determination was, it would be difficult for her to have the courage to tell him clearly.
