Chen Kuang had never seen Shen Xingzhu's real face under the veil, but he was extremely impressed by her eyes.
Just with her pair of extremely beautiful eyes, Shen Xingzhu is enough to cool the bright moon and chill the spring breeze.
Once you see it once, you can never forget it.
However, when these eyes appear on a completely different person, they lose the awe and compassion that are like a god. Naturally, it takes some reaction time to recognize them.
Chen Kuang felt a little incredible.
Both have the surname Shen, and they have a pair of eyes that are so similar, almost identical...
This Shen Meinan must have a close relationship with Shen Xingzhu.
There is a high probability that they should be two sisters!
But...this is too bizarre.
The personalities of these two people are almost completely opposite.
Judging from Shen Meinan's performance just now, she has almost no scheming, and her personality can be described as innocent, charming and naive.
If they were biological sisters, the personality gap would be too big.
But this is not the most bizarre thing. Shen Xingzhu and Shen Meinan seem to be quite different in age, have different environments, and have different personalities. It is normal.
The weirdest thing is that among all the people present, no one seems to know...
They are not unknown people, but Shen Xingzhu, who had been discussing for a long time just now, did not talk about Shen Meinan who was right next to him.
If their relationship was made public, then no matter what, they would at least mention it once or twice, or their expressions would change.
But they really didn't mention it at all.
Shen Xingzhu... concealed the relationship between the two.
Chen Kuang's eyes flashed.
He vaguely felt that Qiansi had sent him to this boat.
Regardless of the identities of the people in front of them, the value of Shen Meinan, who is suspected to be Shen Xingzhu's biological sister, is enough.
There must be some shady reason for hiding it.
What Chen Kuang needs is Shen Xingzhu's handle, and the more the better...
Seeing that he was silent for a long time, Shen Meinan said, "Why don't you speak?"
Chen Kuang's expression remained unchanged: "I was thinking that you should be pretty good-looking too."
"Oh, thank you."
Shen Meinan thought that he had just complimented a blind man on how good-looking he was, but he couldn't see it, and yet he still wanted to agree with him. He suddenly felt a little guilty in his heart. He blinked and quickly changed the subject.
"Well... we've finished talking, what's your name?"
Chen Kuang thought for a while and said:
"Just call me... Ruogu."
When it is dense, it looks like simplicity, when it is spacious, it looks like a valley.
In this world, families with a certain status also have a tradition of giving people names. Chen Kuang was almost at his age, so he decided to give himself a name.
Now is not the time to get close to Shen Meinan, so let's deal with the few in front of us first.
Chen Kuang continued: "I am a casual cultivator with no family or sect, and my cultivation level is only at the enlightenment level. To be honest, I am really surprised to be invited by Brother Lin."
"How can you make friends based on your cultivation? Naturally, you have to gain something from each other and enjoy each other."
Lin Eryou shook his head and raised his glass:
"When I was studying at Liberty Mountain, my master taught me the six skills of using rituals, music, archery, and counting, and said that this was the way of a gentleman."
"It's a pity that I was playful at that time. I just wanted to go to the back mountain to see the peach blossoms. I fell asleep in class and sneaked away immediately after class. I didn't learn a bit of what Master taught me."
He smiled awkwardly, then poured himself a drink and said confidently:
"However, although I haven't learned it yet, my appreciation is absolutely fine!"
Lin Eryou became interested as soon as he mentioned this. He looked at Chen Kuang with bright eyes and said:
"Ruogu, the song you just played was really excellent. I once heard the female pavilion master sing a long song in Tianyin Pavilion that was so sad that it made people wet their blue shirts with tears."
He waved his fan in confusion: "It's just that the harp used by the female pavilion master at that time clearly had fifty strings. Why does Ruogu's harp only have seven strings?"
"Can I ask Ruogu to clarify my doubts?"
"..."
Chen Kuang was silent for a while, supported Long Gu in his arms, and said quietly: "This is Qin."
"The one with fifty ounces is se."
Lin Eryou's confident expression suddenly froze.
"Hahahahaha..."
Zhou Yanwei laughed so hard that he said to Chen Kuang: "Don't be fooled by this guy's serious appearance. Although he studied under Zi Zishan, that master is a teacher without distinction, and there is no threshold for accepting disciples."
"No matter your talent, your race, or your family background, as long as you plant a peach tree in Freedom Mountain as a gift, you can become his disciple."
"Our eldest son, Mr. Lin, comes from the Wanlin Chamber of Commerce that specializes in selling magical treasures. He was forcibly sent to Freedom Mountain by his family for reform."
Well, it turns out he is a rich second-generation academic scumbag.
Chen Kuang twitched the corner of his mouth.
Miraculous spiritual treasures are also rare items among practitioners and cannot be obtained by ordinary people. It can be said that they have a price but no market.
Lin Eryou's family is actually in the business of magical spiritual treasures.
High-end game.
No wonder there is such a building ship...
Thinking of this, Chen Kuang asked: "I heard a lot of noise on the road earlier. There seem to be many passengers in this boat?"
Lin Eryou was stunned for a moment, then suddenly said: "Ruogu is worried about the different destinations?"
"Um."
Chen Kuang nodded:
"I still have some things to do later. I'm afraid I can't bother you for too long. If the boat can't dock before tomorrow, please ask Brother Lin to give me a raft."
Lin Eryou thought about it and had nothing to disclose, so he said: "Although this boat is owned by my family, it is actually temporarily chartered by Fengyu Tower. Those who want to pick up people at Guandu Port should be able to arrive tonight."
He chuckled: "I also took my friends here to visit the lake. Although it is a troubled autumn, Dongting Lake is the most beautiful in autumn."
Dongting Lake connects four or five major tributaries and extends in all directions. It is the waterway transportation hub of Jishao County.
There are two large ferries in Dongting Lake.
The first is the wild ferry, where most of the people's boats come and go. Commercial transportation and fishing all come in and out from this ferry.
The second is Guandu Port. As the name suggests, it is exclusively for official ships, but some private organizations can also get concessions.
Chen Kuang was going to Yedu Port, but Guandu Port was right next to it, and it wasn't too far. If he caught up, he should be able to make it in time.
"That's just the way to go."
Chen Kuang thought for a while and then asked: "Is this Fengyu Tower also a sect of practitioners?"
Qi Sibai raised his eyebrows: "Ruogu, you don't know?"
"Fengyu Tower is a small local sect in Jishao County. However, small only refers to the relatively small number of people. Its strength is not weak at all."
"The reason is because Di Wu, the owner of Fengyu Tower..."
"He is a member of the Martial Saint Pavilion."
Wu Sheng Pavilion?
Chen Kuang's face was expressionless and suddenly numb.
It should...not be so unlucky, right?
He paused and asked: "Fengyulou chartered such a magnificent ship, must it be for some important event?"
Mingyan answered, "Of course it's a big deal."
"The education officer sent by the Zhou Kingdom is about to take over Jishao County. Fengyulou is coming to pick him up. Even Di Wu is here in person!"
Chen Kuang's eyes twitched: "Then Di Wu... is on this boat at this moment?"
Lin Eryou nodded: "Exactly."
Chen Kuang: "..."
