After Yan Ruoli served everyone a cup of tea, the maids came up to serve them one after another. Dish after dish of delicacies were served to the table by the young and beautiful maids. They were all specialties of Xicheng and were made with great care and effort. They were very luxurious.
At this tea party, Gu Sanyue had the most fun. At first she was very reserved, just sipping the tea in small sips, for fear of losing face.
Later, she discovered that she basically didn't understand what the others were talking about, and she couldn't get a word in. No one was looking after her, so she relaxed.
Until those exquisite snacks were brought to the table, she was completely lost. She only focused on filling her internal organs, and she had long forgotten all etiquette and restraint.
Except for Xu Huaigu, no one here knew her very well or knew her origins, so they just let her eat.
After the tea party was over and everyone was about to disperse, Xu Huaigu stood up with Gu Sanyue. Unexpectedly, she ate too much and almost fell down as soon as she stood up, causing the others to burst into laughter.
Xu Huaigu smiled and scolded: "You have no future, you can eat anything like this." Gu Sanyue didn't care, laughed at himself, got up and wanted to leave.
Xu Huaigu was also about to leave, but Yan Zhonglou rushed to stop him and said, "As for boarding the ferry, I would like to ask Xu Xianchang to lend me a step to talk to me in detail." Xu Huaigu glanced at him suspiciously and said, "Okay." Yan Zhonglou said After taking Xu Huaigu away, Gu Sanyue was not sure where she was going. Chu Xiuyang hurriedly called her: "Sister Sanyue, come to me!" Gu Sanyue followed Chu Xiuyang, and the two walked out of the place deep among the flowers and grass. In the small building, the sun suddenly hits my face, the breeze blows slowly, and the eyes are filled with blooming plants and flowers, and the situation in the small building feels like a world away.
Chu Xiuyang left with her alone, while Chu Wenze still stayed in the small building, having some private conversations with Yan Ruoli.
Chu Xiuyang knew how to act coquettishly and mischievously towards her brother, except this matter. Chu Xiuyang asked Gu Sanyue to go to Xicheng to play. Gu Sanyue was afraid that Xu Huaigu would be angry if she left without saying goodbye, so he insisted on waiting for Xu Huaigu outside. Chu Xiuyang had nothing to do with her, so he waited outside with her.
Not long after, Xu Huaigu was seen coming out of the small building, and Yan Zhonglou behind him also walked out with a livid face.
Needless to say, trying to win over Xu Huaigu to be the Yan family's worshiper must have been a scam, and Xu Huaigu probably didn't say a few good words to him, so Yan Zhonglou was so angry.
At this moment, Chu Wenze and Yan Ruoli also walked out smiling side by side. Seeing Chu Xiuyang and Xu Huaigu outside, Chu Wenze quickly walked a few steps in front of everyone and said with a cheerful smile: " It just so happens that you are all here. I just wanted to go find you. Today is the Lantern Festival. I just discussed it with Ruoli. Let's go to the tower in the center of Bishui Lake to put lanterns together tonight. How about it?" Chu Xiuyang was pleasantly surprised. The ground screamed and said: "The tower of Bishui Lake! I know, I know, that place is the most suitable place to put lanterns in Xicheng! Brother, you are so kind, I want to go there!" Yan Ruoliqian Smiling lightly, revealing two small dimples, she tucked the black hair on her cheeks behind her ears and whispered softly: "Since Her Highness the Princess likes it, that's the best. I'll bring some of the best lanterns tonight Come, let the servants carry them and go to the tower together. Your Highness the Princess can put as much as you want." Chu Xiuyang happily agreed. Gu Sanyue was also curious about how beautiful the lanterns were. Even Chu Xiu Yang Du was so happy that he couldn't help but look forward to it.
Chu Wenze gently stroked Yan Ruoli's black hair and said: "Ruoli, it's time for you to change your words. Why are you calling me Princess or Prince? Just call me Wenze and Xiuyang as sister. " Yan Ruoli blushed, covered her face with her sleeves and said coquettishly: "How can that be okay? We haven't even gotten married yet, so we call you and princess like that, how can the royal face be saved? Don't you value the royal dignity the most? No, Let's wait until later." Chu Wenze said softly: "I'm really touched that you consider me so much. Where should I find such a good person like you?" Yan Ruoli smiled foolishly, No different from the woman who fell in love.
Chu Xiuyang felt sad when she saw it, but when she thought about being able to play with lanterns tonight, she wasn't so sad anymore.
So everyone left first, and agreed that at dusk, they would take a sedan chair to the tower at Bishui Lake to put out lanterns.
...In a guest room of the Yan family, Xu Huaigu sat on the floor, holding a sword
"Xiao Yu" was placed beside him, and the sword intention was moving back and forth between the long sword and his body. He was meditating.
Gu Sanyue was stunned as she watched from the sidelines. Even though she knew how great monks were before, she was still surprised when she saw a monk practicing.
She broke her head and couldn't figure out why there were white thread-like things constantly swimming in Xu Huaigu's body and the sword, and this thing turned out to be the foundation of Xu Huaigu's sword cultivation.
She had never learned the sword cultivation method, and she had been watching Xu Huaigu like this for two hours. She neither dared to move nor make a sound, for fear of disturbing him and making him angry.
Gradually, Gu Sanyue got tired of watching Xu Huaigu repeat this process.
When she was bored and started playing with her fingers, Xu Huaigu suddenly opened his eyes, his eyes sharp, like an unsheathed sword.
Gu Sanyue was startled, and then Xu Huaigu stood up, looked out the window at the sky, and said, "It's getting late, it's time to go put out the lanterns." Gu Sanyue looked at him strangely and said, "It turns out that cultivation is Just like you did just now, I feel so bored." Xu Huaigu said: "If you haven't experienced cultivation, you naturally don't understand. People who practice cultivation will not feel the passage of time." Gu Sanyue
I said "Oh", but suddenly I felt my stomach twitching.
"Gululu" cried out. Gu Sanyue covered his stomach in embarrassment. Xu Huaigu laughed and said, "You didn't have lunch? You must have been watching me practice all day." Gu Sanyue rolled his eyes at him and pretended to be angry: "Then Not for fear of disturbing you or for fear of you going crazy, I stayed in bed and didn’t dare to move." She muttered again in a low voice: "But it’s quite nice just to watch quietly." The voice was so soft and gentle. The mosquito's cry was about the same size, but it couldn't escape Xu Huaigu's ears.
He secretly chuckled in his heart and said, "What did you say?" Gu Sanyue immediately changed his tune and said, "I said I've been hungry for a long time. Can I have a bowl of rice first and then go put out the lanterns?" Xu Huaigu smiled mischievously. , his eyes blatantly glanced at her waist, and Gu Sanyue's face suddenly turned pink.
Xu Huaigu chuckled and said: "I'm talking about March, look at your waist. Compared with Yan Ruoli, I don't know how bad it is. Do you still think about eating every day? You ate so much in the morning, you don't need to eat now." , just go and put out the lanterns." Gu Sanyue was embarrassed and angry after reading. He wanted to speak but didn't know how to refute. In the end, he had to sneer: "Ha, man." Xu Huaigu smiled and took out the robe. A green elixir the size of a fingernail was delivered to Gu Sanyue's hand with a flick of his fingertips, and he said: "After taking the bigu pill, you don't need to eat or drink for three days." Gu Sanyue said in surprise: "Wow, the elixir! It's so powerful, it must be very expensive!" Xu Huaigu couldn't bear to reveal that this was actually one of the lowest elixirs, so he could only say: "It should be about the same... Anyway, you should eat it quickly to stay in shape. This The stuff is the best." After Gu Sanyue's tea party this morning, she already knew that Xu Huaigu was not the monk who changed his appearance in his seventies or eighties as she thought, but a genius who was only nineteen years old.
At this time, when he said something about his body shape, he no longer cared about the master, apprentice, monk, or mortal person. He only felt that the girl's heart was a little fluttering.
Gu Sanyue swallowed the elixir with great pleasure. Sure enough, he felt warm in his belly, and then he immediately stopped feeling hungry. It was really magical.
Seeing her like that, Xu Huaigu felt funny in his heart. Suddenly, an idea flashed through his mind like a meteor.
It's good to have such a person to chat with and relieve boredom. At least it's better than walking around alone and having to swallow everything in your stomach.
Anyway, let’s take her on a journey through the world. If she really doesn’t have the opportunity or talent, just let her be an ordinary person and follow him.
But in this case, what should her status be? Could it be that he is Xu Huaigu's apprentice? Did he take on an apprentice with no cultivation skills?
This is outrageous. Xu Huaigu looked at Gu Sanyue with a happy face, touching his belly from time to time like a curious baby. He thought of the man who kowtowed step by step up the 1,542 steps of the Fuyao Sect and put his forehead on his forehead. The woman knelt down under the scorching sun for a whole day without eating or drinking.
Is this still the same person? Has the past few good days worn away the fierceness in her heart?
Once the will is gone, the path of spiritual practice can be said to have come to an end. Xu Huaigu felt that he had missed her.
He suddenly became serious and said in a deep voice: "Gu Sanyue." Gu Sanyue was still immersed in joy. When he heard Xu Huaigu's bad tone, he was shocked. He quickly put away his smile and said seriously: "Xu Xianchang?" Xu Huaigu asked her seriously: "Do you still want to be a mountain man?" Gu Sanyue was stunned, nodded resolutely, and said loudly: "Yes!" Xu Huaigu took out a boxing book from his robe. .
He wouldn't buy such a thing, thanks to Chen Jingshan's huge collection. Xu Huaigu gave her the booklet. Gu Sanyue looked at the punches, his throat moved, and he felt a turmoil in his heart.
Xu Huaigu said solemnly: "This is a boxing book, entry-level. I have roughly calculated that according to this set of boxing, once you are proficient in it, you will need two breaths to punch at a time, and you can punch 1,500 punches in an hour."
"Starting from tomorrow, you will start practicing boxing, 10,000 punches a day, and you can eat and rest after practicing. Of course, you can be lazy if you want, but if I find out, you don't have to follow me in the future."
"After a hundred days, if you can throw a million punches, I will accept you as my disciple." Gu Sanyue felt that this moment was extremely sacred.
She was not intimidated by Xu Huaigu, but took the thin booklet with both hands and said resolutely: "I will punch a million punches and become your disciple." Xu Huaigu smiled slightly and said: "I hope in this way."
