Xu Huaigu didn't show much respect to the warm and hospitable Chu Wenze. He just agreed to go to Fuyao Sect with him, and went back to his room to drink alone in an unkind manner.
Chu Wenze was a good-tempered man, so he was not annoyed at all. Instead, he asked the old Taoist priest, "Master Gu, look at how that person was doing just now."
The old Taoist priest known as Master Gu narrowed his eyes and said, "Your Highness, are you asking me about his personality or his level of cultivation?"
Chu Wenze said: "Master, you might as well talk about it."
The old Taoist priest said: "This person has a rather weird personality. He originally liked to be alone, but it seemed that he agreed to go with her just to make Her Royal Highness angry. As for his realm, I don't know much about it. Either it doesn’t exist at all, or it’s similar to me, I can’t say for sure.”
When Chu Xiuyang heard that the man agreed to go with him because he was deliberately angry with her, he couldn't help but get angry. He puffed up his cheeks and said displeasedly: "Who does he think he is? The current Crown Prince of Fusang Kingdom invites him. What's more, Master Gu and Grandmaster Cai, he still dares to show such a temper? How dare he be angry with me? I have promised that when I see him tomorrow, I will definitely not look good, who wants to ignore him!"
Chu Wenze knew that his sister had an unpredictable temper, and her temper came and went quickly, so he didn't pay much attention to it. He smiled and said: "They don't know our identities. Those who don't know are not guilty. Why do you care about these things? It's his It is obviously impossible for him to be at the same level as Master Gu at such a young age. It can only be that he has no level at all. That’s all, just make friends with an ordinary swordsman and visit the Fuyao Sect.”
The old Taoist priest reminded: "But he is wearing a magic robe, and the sword tied around his waist is also a magic weapon. It is impossible for a person without realm to have these."
Chu Wenze frowned and began to hesitate, saying, "Then this is impossible. It is impossible for someone so young to be at the same level as Master Gu. By the way, can Master see what is behind his back?" "
The old Taoist priest shook his head, and Chu Wenze had to swallow the curiosity in his heart.
Chu Xiuyang said with some worry: "Brother, please don't just focus on making friends and forget about business. This time we come to Fuyao Sect, but we have received the order of our father to do something."
Chu Wenze said helplessly: "I know, I know, it's just a trivial matter as big as a sesame seed or a mung bean. My father has already made an agreement with the Fuyao Sect. We are just sent here to make arrangements for the Fuyao Sect. Alas, these things are nothing. It means nothing. It is said that in the past two days, even our Fusang Kingdom's army has moved south. The war between the demon clan and the East Fuyao Island will start in two years at most. I am a prince who is uneasy. At that time, I didn’t even know if there was still this seat.”
Grandmaster Cai, who had been silent all this time, secretly took these words to heart. He is an old martial artist from the royal family of the Fusang Kingdom. This time he came under the emperor's order. Not only did he protect the safety of the prince and princess, but he also secretly took on the responsibility of supervising the prince's words and deeds. What the prince just said was not pleasant to Fusang Kingdom. He wrote it down and planned to go back and report it to the Emperor of Chu who was sitting on the dragon throne.
After listening to Chu Wenze's words, the heroic Chu Xiuyang frowned and said angrily, "My brother has been studying scriptures since he was a child and studying government affairs with the bachelors. Now he is in his twenties. My father won't let me. Not to mention you help with government affairs, but I have learned riding and archery since I was a child, and I am good at martial arts. The average three-level martial artist can't even get close to me, and I am definitely more than enough to protect myself. I want to go south to join the army and experience it, father. It’s not allowed either. Then I have to go back to elementary school.
What are these for? If you want me to be able to protect myself in troubled times, I might as well practice cultivation! "
Seeing that his sister's temper was rising again, Chu Wenze hurriedly advised: "How can anyone from the royal family go to practice? Isn't that a big joke? My father is also worried about your safety. You have to know that with the war in the south, we are facing The one who is right is not the human being, but the monster clan! It is difficult for ordinary monks to kill monsters, let alone you? My father has a great reputation and will not be confused about this kind of thing. Let’s wait quietly. One day , they will all be useful."
Chu Xiuyang was not happy to have her mood disturbed in this way. Even after listening to Chu Wenze's advice, she just drank a few sips of wine, said she was tired, and went back to sleep. Chu Wenze couldn't do anything to her. After saying some polite words to the other two elderly people, he went upstairs to sleep.
…
Xu Huaigu stayed up all night and spent the night meditating.
Only at night can he release the golden threads of the Golden Shuttle Talisman, carefully manipulate the golden threads, and transform them into various wonderfully shaped objects. In such attempts again and again, his ability to control golden threads became stronger and stronger, and since reaching the Sixth Realm, the set of techniques that Sun Xiang taught him to restrain the spiritual energy of the Yuan Dynasty began to slow down. It took effect slowly, and the golden threads on his heart were slowly growing. In time, this unknown golden thread will once again become one of his trump cards.
Only when the refreshing morning sunlight shone into this room from the window did Xu Huaigu open his eyes. After sitting quietly for a while, he put the cloth bag on his back and the long sword and walked out of the room.
In the lobby, Chu Wenze had already sat at a table with the two old men. There were several bowls in front of him, which contained multigrain porridge and a few white-flour steamed buns. Other than that, it's just a teapot. It is better to drink tea than to drink alcohol in the early morning, not to mention that I have to go to Fuyao Sect today, drinking will be a waste of time.
Xu Huaigu refused to drink together last night and had no plans to have breakfast together this morning. He went out to buy some meat buns on the street and swallowed them in two or two mouthfuls. It was considered that he had finished his breakfast.
Back at the inn, Chu Wenze and the three of them also finished their breakfast on the table. The waiter was clearing away their dishes, but Chu Xiuyang, the heroic woman from yesterday, was still missing.
Xu Huaigu glanced over there and asked, "When will you set off?"
Chu Wenze smiled apologetically and said, "Brother Yu, please wait a little longer. My sister likes to sleep in. I just urged her, and she probably got up by now. She will come out naturally after she is dressed, but she is afraid Being fat, I never eat breakfast, so it won’t take up too much of Brother Yu’s time.”
Xu Huaigu nodded and sat next to Chu Wenze, so the square table was filled with people. Chu Wenze saw that Xu Huaigu's attitude was slightly better, so he talked to him and said, "Brother Yu, why are you going to Fuyao Sect this time? Just to have a look?"
Xu Huaigu said: "It's nothing. I just talked to a few old friends and then left."
Chu Wenze suddenly became interested and asked curiously: "Oh? Old friend? Brother Yu used to know a monk in Fuyao Sect. Who is he?"
Xu Huaigu thought of those past events and couldn't help but said with some nostalgia: "Yin Zushi, Yu Qin, and Deng Zhiyuan."
When Chu Wenze and the other three heard about Yin Zishi, they were immediately shocked and secretly thought that this person actually knew him, so he must have a good background. Yu Qin and the others didn't know each other very well, but the name sounded like a woman. As for the last name,
Words, even more surprising.
Deng Zhiyuan was actually said to be an old friend by the swordsman in front of him, and he did not call him Senior Deng or Elder Deng, but dared to call him by his first name. You know, even the emperor of Fusang Kingdom must treat Deng Zhiyuan with courtesy, but he dared to call Deng Zhiyuan directly. The relationship between the two may not be simple.
Although Chu Wenze had a smile on his face, he couldn't help but feel suspicious in his heart. He said, "I didn't expect that Brother Yu knew so many people. We all know the names of Yin Zushi and Deng Zhiyuan. We didn't expect that they both have friendship with Brother Yu. Brother Yu is really a young leader, a hero of our generation. The one named Yu sounds like a girl, should she be Brother Yu's little sister?"
When Xu Huaigu was told this, he could only say: "So be it."
Xu Huaigu said this, and the two old men were obviously wary of Xu Huaigu. The atmosphere at the table was a little tense and it was difficult to ease it. At this moment, Chu Xiuyang, who everyone had been waiting for, finally got dressed and walked out.
The crisp sound of boots tapping on the wooden board sounded. Xu Huaigu looked up the steps and saw a woman walking down the stairs.
The woman was wearing a black robe today, and her hair was tied into a refreshing ponytail. What was even more surprising was that she actually had a bow on her waist and a quiver full of feathered arrows on her back. Those handsome features made him look like a handsome man. In the eyes of others, this feminine and unassuming aura has left countless people in awe.
Chu Wenze was the first to laugh out loud and said: "I say Xiu Yang, today is neither leading troops to fight nor going out for hunting. What are you wearing?"
Who are you showing this to? Is it possible that the monks of the Fuyao Sect are going to see him as a joke? "
Chu Xiuyang was dressed up like this and was in a good mood, but when Chu Wenze laughed at her like this, she suddenly felt a little unconfident. At this moment, she saw that Xu Huaigu had taken her original seat, and she couldn't help but vent all her anger on this person. She said angrily: "Hey, aren't these the swordsman brothers? Why didn't there be such a big pomp last night? Are you willing to drink with us and sit next to my brother today? Shouldn’t it be that half a pound of beef and wine have spent all your money and you can’t afford breakfast?”
When Xu Huaigu heard these sarcastic words, he immediately frowned and snorted coldly.
Chu Wenze knew that Xu Huaigu had a good background, and wanted to make friends with him at this time. Unexpectedly, Chu Xiuyang actually spoke rudely. In desperation, he couldn't help but speak a little faster and said: "Shut up, don't be rude!"
When this sentence fell into Chu Xiuyang's ears, it was a naked rebuke. He didn't expect that his brother, whom he had always respected, would yell at him for an outsider he had just met. How had Chu Xiuyang ever been so angry? She immediately became so angry that her face flushed, her whole body trembled, and her eyes seemed to have tears about to fall. She cried and said: "You are mean to me! You haven't scolded me for so many years, and now you are mean to me for such an outsider." ! I won’t leave with you, so go up the mountain alone!”
Chu Xiuyang lost his temper and immediately turned around and ran upstairs. Chu Wenze was stunned and stood there for a while at a loss. The waiter and shopkeeper quickly lowered their heads and buried their heads in the account books, snickering secretly.
Chu Wenze said anxiously: "Eh... no, that's not what I meant!"
He stood up in a hurry and apologized to Xu Huaigu: "Brother Yu, my little sister has a weird temper. I'll just go and persuade her. I'll be back soon!"
Xu Huaigu felt funny in his heart, but there was still a solemn expression on his face and said, "It's okay, you go first, I'll just wait."
