Someone next to him said: "Brother Situ, why are you still stunned? Everyone in the world knows that Xinglin's master does not like gold and silver, but only loves beautiful jade. Hurry back to the village and get all the beautiful jade from home."
Situ Bei woke up from a dream and hurried back. Xi Yue and the other two had ordered the food. Before the food was served, they saw him arriving with his servants, carrying two huge boxes.
Someone immediately became jealous: "I didn't expect Zhujian Villa to be so rich that he could just carry two boxes of jade out."
"Don't compare your little wealth with the Sword Casting Villa. You can make a lot of money with just a famous sword. Even if you don't provide the materials and just help with the casting, the processing fee charged is not cheap."
Lu Fei shook his head and said, "This way of doing things is destined to fail."
Although his voice was very low, he couldn't stand the crowd of people around him. Most of them were martial arts people who had eyes and ears in all directions. Someone immediately asked: "Brother, why did you say this? The box has not been opened, and Miss Jade has not come out yet. Brother, How do you know that there is no jade in the box that suits Miss Yu’s heart?”
Lu Fei smiled slightly: "Doctor Yu often goes to small towns for free clinics and does not value money and other external things. Whether the medical fee is satisfactory does not depend on the value. She also emphasized before that she is sincere."
For the last two words, he paused deliberately and glanced at the two large boxes: "Just pick up two large boxes. Anyway, I don't see the sincerity of Sword Making Villa."
"I'm so busy." Situ Bei slapped his forehead in annoyance, and clasped his fist at Lu Fei, "Thank you, young hero, for reminding me."
Then he hurriedly ordered people to prepare trays and gift boxes. He first selected a dozen pieces of jade that he thought were the best, and knocked on the door of the Jade Fairy.
Yu Tianxian only glanced at it and rejected everything: "Not to my liking."
Situ Bei smiled apologetically and ordered his servant: "Go back and get the second lady's Hetian jade lock."
Next, the servants of Zhujian Villa went back and forth between the villa and the inn. Unfortunately, none of the artifacts they brought were in line with Jade Celestial Immortal's wishes.
Everyone couldn't help but sympathize with Zhujian Villa. Xinglin's wonderful hands and jade fairy were equally famous for her superb medical skills, but also for her eccentric temperament. When she was in a good mood, she would receive a free medical consultation. When she was in a bad mood, she would just give her ten thousand taels of gold. To no avail.
The so-called "according to one's will" does not mean that it all depends on her will. If she wants to be cured, you can give her a stone and she will still find it agreeable. If she doesn't want to, if you send the imperial seal, she may not take action.
When dusk fell, Situ Bei said goodbye to Yu Tianxian through the door, saying that he would not disturb her rest and would come back tomorrow.
After he left, the crowd dispersed, and the people staying in the inn were preparing to have dinner. Xiyue changed her posture and raised her doubts: "Why do you call her Doctor Jade, but they call her Miss Jade?"
Lu Fei mixed the noodles and said casually: "She is a doctor and a woman. You can call her Jade Doctor or Jade Girl."
After a pause, he raised his eyebrows and said: "The waiter said that the jelly in the west of the city is good. Let's try it tomorrow?"
Xiyue nodded: "You are right, she prefers the title Doctor Yu."
"When did you become interested in these things?" Lu Fei was a little surprised. She and Yu Tianxian had only two sides to each other. With her careless nature, it was strange that she would actually observe which title Yu Tianxian liked.
Xiyue shrugged: "She doesn't mean anything. She showed it very clearly. You can see it at a glance."
Just as he was talking, Jiang Shida strode over, sat down, and complained: "You don't even wait for me to eat. Waiter, let's have a bowl of cold noodles with shredded chicken. I'm exhausted!"
The pampered young master from an aristocratic family has long passed the age of laying foundations. He wants to join the sect. Lu Fei doesn't think he will gain anything, but he still cares about it: "How are you doing there? Have you met the leader of the Lingxiao sect? ?”
"Hey, don't mention it. I saw it, but he didn't accept me. It made me lose my temper." Jiang Shida vented his anger and poked the table with the head of his chopsticks, as if the table was the stubborn leader of the Lingxiao Sect.
"By the way, what were you talking about just now, Doctor Jade?"
"Xinglin Miaoshou Yutianxian, she..."
Before Lu Fei finished speaking, he saw Jiang Shida swept away his defeat and became very excited: "She's here too?"
Lu Fei nodded and pointed to the guest room, "Live next door to us."
Jiang Shida's face turned red with excitement. He held Lu Fei's left hand with both hands and said earnestly: "Brother Lu, let's talk about it. Let's change rooms."
Lu Fei was puzzled. Jiang Shida was a generous person, but he came from a noble family and his food, clothing, housing and transportation were more exquisite than those of the Jianghu people. He had been choosing that room for a long time, saying that the view was better from that direction.
Jiang Shida chuckled: "I heard that Yu Tianxian is not only outstanding in medical skills, but also a stunning ice beauty. The first to get close to the water is the moon. If I do good things, I will be grateful."
The corner of Lu Fei's mouth twitched. He had never met her before, so he fell in love with her just based on rumors. It was outrageous.
Jiang Shida smiled flatteringly: "Brother Lu, do you have any objection?"
Just as Lu Fei was about to agree, he saw Yu Tianxian opening the door and his ice-cold gaze directed towards him. He suddenly felt embarrassed. It was always bad to talk about other girls behind their backs.
The slow Jiang Shida didn't receive the signal from his eyes and was still talking to himself. Lu Fei had no choice but to say hello: "Doctor Yu, come out for dinner."
Jiang Shida froze, turned around slowly, and saw a woman dressed in white, with a face like ice and snow, eyes like a cold pool, and icy muscles and jade bones.
"Ahem, I am Jiang Shida from Pingyang. I have admired the beauty of Miss Jade for a long time..." Under the cold gaze of Yu Tianxian, Jiang Shida's voice became smaller and smaller. In the end, he couldn't speak at all. He just kept on laughing and said to himself: This ice beauty lives up to her name, as cold as thousand-year-old ice.
"Have you admired her for a long time?" Yu Tianxian sneered, "The girl next to you is also an icy beauty with a peerless appearance and a cold temperament. Why don't you get along with her? A noble lady from an aristocratic family should not be insulted lightly, but we daughters of the world can be scorned at will?"
Jiang Shida's scalp was numb. Didn't he say that the people in the world were informal? They just talked about it for a few words, but why did they go online?
He turned his head and glanced at the person next to him. Lu Fei, the junior sister, was indeed as beautiful as the autumn moon, and her temperament was equally cold.
If the coldness of Yu Tianxian is ice and snow, cold to the bone; then the coldness of this girl Ah Yue is the cold dew of late autumn, with a hint of earthiness in the coldness. Every time he looks at her, he feels ashamed and angry. There is no other thought at all.
At the moment of embarrassment, I heard Yu Tianxian say firmly: "I study medicine to help the world, not to increase the bargaining chips for marrying into a rich family."
After that, he rolled his sleeves and left.
After the others walked away, Jiang Shida sighed: "Why have you been so reluctant recently? There is no hope now."
Xiyue frowned: "She hates you, not because you said bad things about her behind her back and she heard you, but because you don't respect her."
Jiang Shida looked at her in surprise and then at Lu Fei, full of confusion. Although they had been together for nearly three months, this girl Ah Yue had a really cold temper and was indifferent to others, and he did not talk to anyone else. She said a few words, but now she suddenly opened her mouth to clear up the confusion?
After being stunned for a moment, Jiang Shida hurriedly saluted solemnly: "Please give me some advice, girl."
Xi Yue said sternly: "You don't know anything about her, and you want to make a good deal with her based on just a few rumors. To put it bluntly, you just heard that she is beautiful and want to be your confidante.
As for the medical skills she worked hard to learn, to you, they are just the icing on the beauty cake. They are no different from the music, chess, singing and dancing learned by a prostitute. They are both pleasing to people.
You were indeed insulting her. She didn't throw hot tea directly at you, but she was well behaved. "
Jiang Shida was stunned and remained silent for a long time.
Lu Fei thought of the words Yu Tianxian left before she walked away, and suddenly understood why she said before that Yu Tianxian preferred the title Doctor Yu.
The title implicitly reveals people's attitude. Calling her "Jade Girl" shows that in everyone's mind she is a woman first and then a doctor.
Yu Tianxian is a person with great ambitions, so she naturally doesn't like people paying too much attention to her gender and appearance.
"Respect..." Jiang Shida murmured in shame, "It turns out that I am no different from those dandy and lecherous people."
He stood up suddenly and strode outside.
"My guest, your face is ready, my guest, my guest!"
"Brother Jiang, where are you going?"
"Go and apologize!" After saying this, Jiang Shida disappeared at the door of the inn.
The waiter held the noodles and stared blankly at Xi Yue and the other two, "Then this noodle..."
Lu Fei said helplessly: "Bring it over."
Three days later, the martial arts conference was held as scheduled. Heroic knights displayed their martial arts skills. Not to mention top-notch masters, they were all expected to compete for the possession of the sword. Although those young knights knew that the sword was hopeless, they still fought hard and became famous now.
Lu Fei quickly stood out among the young and middle-aged knights. Every time the competition ended, a large group of people gathered around him. Some wanted to make friends with him, some wanted to find out what sect he came from, and some female knights were interested in him. He has a good impression and seizes all the time to spend with her.
At the end of the day's competition, seeing Lu Fei being surrounded by the crowd again, Xi Yue went back to the inn first, ordered food and waited for him to come back.
Suddenly, she saw a familiar white pigeon fluttering its wings and landing by the window. It took two steps back and forth, then spread its wings to fly again. It seemed that it had discovered that Lu Fei was not there and was going to look for him.
Thinking of the people surrounding him, Xiyue took out a chopstick and threw it out without thinking.
Bang!
The carrier pigeon fell.
She ran downstairs and picked up the white dove. As she was walking, she stopped and took a closer look at the white dove in her hand. Why was this dove different from ordinary ones?
The beak seems to be a little longer and curved.
This thought only stayed in her mind for a moment before she threw it away and returned to the inn with the pigeon.
About a quarter of an hour later, Lu Fei finally escaped from the heavy siege. When he returned to the inn, he started to complain before he even sat down: "Looking at me being entangled by them, you didn't go over to help, but you still left!"
"I'll come back to order." Xiyue shrugged and nuzzled at the waiter who served the food, "No, the time is just right. You can have hot meals as soon as you come back!"
After a pause, she threw the white dove over: "By the way, your dove."
Lu Fei looked at the limp Qiling Pigeon, was shocked, and asked anxiously: "What did you do to it?"
"Nothing, I just gave it a chopstick."
Lu Fei checked and found that the Qiling Pigeon was not injured, so he was relieved. He also saw that the mailbox on the pigeon's leg was intact, and he was surprised: "You didn't peek?"
Xiyue rolled her eyes: "I can't read."
Lu Fei was speechless. This meant that if she knew how to read, she would definitely take a peek. He shook his head, took out the letter and opened it.
"Does the family urge you to go back?" Xiyue lowered her eyes and struggled with the slippery jelly on the plate, but her ears stood up involuntarily, and there was a nervousness in her voice that she was not even aware of.
Lu Fei hummed, "Let me go back before my birthday."
Xiyue paused, and the jelly she finally picked up fell back onto the plate. Then, she picked it up again as if nothing had happened, and asked casually, "When is your birthday?"
"August 11th."
"That's still early." Xi Yue clenched her chopsticks and calculated in silence. There are still more than one hundred and forty days left, excluding the time for traveling...
The next day, Lu Fei was defeated by the leader of the Lingxiao sect, ending his participation in the competition. Jiang Shida gave him a thumbs up with joy: "Brother Lu, that's amazing! You can actually compete with the martial arts master Xie Xie in ten moves! I admire you!" "
Lu Fei was a little disappointed. Although he had known that he was no match for those old-timers and had adjusted his mentality long ago, when he actually lost and missed the famous sword, he still felt uncomfortable.
Xiyue pursed her lips and said comforting words: "You are already very powerful. After all, they have decades more skill than you. In terms of martial arts alone, you are much more flexible than that old man."
"You can actually comfort me?" Lu Fei felt warm in his heart, put his hand on his forehead and looked to the west, muttering to himself, "Let me see if the sun is rising in the west today."
Xiyue squinted at him and turned to ask Jiang Shida, "Doctor Yu hasn't agreed to treat Situ Bei's uncle's arm yet?"
The topic was changed so suddenly that both Lu Fei and Jiang Shida were stunned. After a moment, Jiang Shida replied: "No, this Situ Bei must have been working for a long time, and the tendons in his brain have been roughened. He didn't take out the gun." The consultation fee is Dr. Jade’s wish. I even suspect that he did it on purpose to create an opportunity to meet Dr. Jade!”
Lu Fei reminded coolly: "Don't you bother Dr. Yu every day? In her eyes, you are much more annoying than Situ Bei."
Jiang Shida's face turned a little red, but he still spoke plausibly: "I was apologizing..."
Xiyue ignored the jokes and banter between the two, lowered her eyes and thought for a moment, and said, "Let's stay here for a while."
Lu Fei thought that a period of time was about ten days, so he agreed without thinking.
Those who took part in the competition were all top martial arts masters. Lu Fei watched intently, fearing that he would miss a detail.
Xiyue said nothing and went to rest nearby, then withdrew from the crowd, casually grabbing a servant of the Sword Making Villa: "Go and tell Situ Bei that I have beautiful jade that I can exchange with him."
The servant was overjoyed and hurriedly asked people to find Situ Bei and took her to a waterside pavilion in the villa.
Not long after, Situ Bei came over in a hurry. Before he could catch his breath, he said hurriedly: "I heard that the girl has beautiful jade."
Xiyue took out the white jade hairpin from her sleeve. Situ Bei's eyes lit up and he praised: "What a jade! What a jade! I'm willing to pay a thousand gold to get it."
