Li Xiuyuan came to the pavilion in the backyard garden of Yuqiong Pavilion amid blue stone walls, red glazed tiles, and a few peach trees laden with fruit.
The pavilion is quiet and quiet. In the evening, the waiters and maids in the attic have been busy all day, either looking for food or going back to the house to rest. Li Xiuyuan is the only one sitting alone in the huge garden.
In front of him is a round table carved from ink jade. There is a small stove and other things on the table. There is a whining sound in the spout of the kettle on the stove, and a pot of water is about to boil.
It was a hot summer night, and Li Xiuyuan, who had been sleeping for two days, did not feel hungry in his stomach. Instead, he was eager to drink a pot of hot tea to wake up. The conversation he had with the old man just now shocked him.
Even Tianxiang Academy is not a peaceful place. Even the founder, the ancestor, would be plotted and die. This world is no quieter than the Shura Heaven.
Li Xiuyuan was very sure that the conversation he had with the old man just now was definitely not a dream. The dream was not so real. After all, there were still some secrets in his mind that the old man wanted to say but could not say.
He stared blankly at the peach tree full of fruits beside the green wall and red tiles. After a moment of silence, he murmured to himself: "The peach blossoms are as bright as their blossoms. Deep love will not last long, and wisdom will hurt..." ....”
"A person who is deeply in love will not live long, but his wisdom will be damaged...My younger brother is indeed amazingly talented and unparalleled in the world."
At this moment, Feng Ruyu's gentle voice and Youruo's applause sounded in the garden.
Li Xiuyuan looked back and saw three women, two white and one red, walking in small steps and reaching the pavilion in an instant.
Li Xiuyuan looked at Feng Ruyu and said with a smile, "Does Sister Yu have anything to eat?"
Feng Ruyu laughed when he heard it, looked at him and said, "You still know how to wake up. If I had known better, I wouldn't have taken a picture of that thing for you, which would have made you regret it for the rest of your life."
Li Xiuyuan's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he looked at her and smiled: "Did you take the photo? How many spiritual stones did it cost? I'll give it to you later."
Youruo on the side laughed, patted his chest and said, "Youruo took this photo. It cost me one hundred thousand spiritual stones. Young master, do you have so much property?"
Unexpectedly, Li Xiuyuan just smiled faintly and replied: "Is it just one hundred thousand? It's not expensive."
Feng Ruyu glared at Youruo, placed the food box in his hand on the railing beside the pavilion, looked at him and smiled: "The spiritual stone cost 15,000, and the potion of medicinal wine is close to 100,000."
"It's a good thing to be able to take pictures. How to calculate the accounts is all up to my sister's arrangement." Li Xiuyuan was overjoyed when he heard this. As a disciple, he finally solved a huge problem for his master, which was regarded as fulfilling his wish.
"Do you want to start practicing now? Or wait a little longer?" Feng Ruyu thought Li Xiuyuan was impatient.
Li Xiuyuan looked at her and shook his head gently, poured hot tea for the three of them, and said with a smile: "Drink tea... This matter is not urgent. I will leave it to my sister first. We will talk about it later."
Feng Ruyu was stunned again and thought to himself, I finally took a picture of the elixir you have been thinking about for a long time, but you are not in a hurry anymore.
Li Xiuyuan looked like a monster. Feng Ruyu stopped making any sound at the moment. He picked up the cup in front of him and took a sip. He smiled and said, "The art of making tea is getting better and better. I'm looking forward to autumn." ..."
Xun'er, who was sitting aside, was stunned for a moment, looked at Feng Ruyu and asked, "Sister, what else can this autumn have to do with drinking tea?"
Feng Ruyu raised his head and glanced at her, pointed at Li Xiuyuan who was drinking tea and said with a smile: "You have to ask this guy, he said that the osmanthus shade in autumn has dried up... I am also looking forward to it."
Li Xiuyuan looked at her and laughed, and after a long time he replied: "That's just a moment of joy, to satisfy our temporary desires."
Xun'er laughed at the side and said: "You are mysterious and mysterious all day long, like a monster. When will you go to the academy with us to stay for a while? I also want to learn the piano..."
"Oh, I really don't know. You should learn from Youruo. I'm afraid I don't have the strength to teach anyone anymore." After saying this, Li Xiuyuan looked at Youruo quietly.
Youruo looked at him curiously and said, "Learning the piano? I haven't learned it yet? Master, are you going to Tianxiang Academy too?"
"This depends on Sister Yu's arrangements." Li Xiuyuan shook his head and said quietly.
"This." Feng Ruyu's eyes lit up, like a lake, and she looked at the three of them and said quietly, "Just ask Youruo and Xun'er."
Upon hearing this, Youruo said without a smile, "Why did you turn around and then turn back to me?"
Feng Ruoyu thought of a lot of things he had done and what Li Xiuyuan was going to face, and couldn't help but sigh.
With a sad face. Looking at You Ruo and Xun'er, he said: "This guy is going to enter the Endless Flame Realm to practice. I wonder when the academy will arrange the training this year?"
She didn't know whether it was because the weather was too hot, or she was blushing because she remembered something. Youruo looked at Feng Ruyu and replied, "I don't know, after all, we just came back from a foreign battlefield."
Xun'er looked at Feng Ruyu and Li Xiuyuan and nodded, and said seriously: "This matter is arranged by the dean every year, but Youruo should be able to find out about it."
Li Xiuyuan couldn't help but sigh, thinking that asking for help was really troublesome, so he might as well come and go freely.
Feng Ruyu looked at Li Xiuyuan sighing and thought, can't we rush this matter?
He opened the food boxes placed on the railing and placed them all on the table. He looked at Li Xiuyuan and said, "Let's eat something first. Since we have arrived at Tianxiang City, there is no rush."
Li Xiuyuan glanced at her and didn't ask any more questions. He just took a bowl and looked at the three of them and asked, "Would you like a drink?"
Xun'er's eyes lit up, she looked at him and smiled: "Hurry up and get the wine, we sneaked out quietly, just to come to you for a drink, isn't this asking questions knowingly?"
Li Xiuyuan glanced at the three of them and wondered why the women he met were better at drinking than the other, and liked to drink?
Feng Ruyu took four wine glasses and put them on the table, took the wine jar handed over by Li Xiuyuan, poured the wine and said with a smile: "You don't know the hot scene of today's auction..."
Li Xiuyuan was startled, looked at her and asked with a smile: "Is it possible that all the collections in your Yuqiong Pavilion have been sold? Congratulations to Sister Yu."
Feng Ruyu knew that Li Xiuyuan didn't want to elaborate in front of the two girls, and had no intention of saying more. She just looked at him quietly and said, "What are your plans for tomorrow?"
Li Xiuyuan shook his head and said at a loss: "I don't know either. Everything is at your discretion."
Feng Ruyu thought for a while, looked at him and said, "Would you like to go to the academy with me? I'll go see the dean tomorrow and Xiao Youruo will go with my sister."
Li Xiuyuan looked at the three of them and shook his head, saying, "Forget it. I'll just stay here. It's better to be still than to move."
Xun'er looked at Li Xiuyuan's dull look and couldn't help but cursed angrily: "You have no interest at all."
Li Xiuyuan smiled lightly and said, "Be quiet, okay?"
...
Being calm and thinking independently are habits that Li Xiuyuan has developed over a long period of time.
Even Feng Ruyu, who has always been self-disciplined, looked at Li Xiuyuan who had gotten up early and walked into the garden to practice swordsmanship and let out a soft cry: "Brother, have you had a moment to rest?"
Li Xiuyuan put away his wooden sword, looked at Feng Ruyu and couldn't help but shook his head, and said, "It's just daily practice."
He thought to himself, if he couldn't do this, how could he cultivate immortality?
He frowned and said: "It's so early in the morning, and my sister doesn't sleep for a while? I just have a long-term habit."
Feng Ruyu glanced at him, smiled slightly and said, "Do you want that thing? There are also a lot of spiritual stones?"
As if he guessed what she was thinking, Li Xiuyuan smiled and shook his head and said, "Don't think too much of me, I'm just an ordinary foundation-building monk."
Feng Ruyu glanced at him in disbelief and said angrily: "You are a monster who pretends to be a pig and eats tigers. Think about the killers you met on Tianjie, you are much more powerful than them."
"Really?" Li Xiuyuan smiled, looked at her and said seriously: "Please bring the things you took and the spirit stones you gave me to my master."
After saying that, Li Xiuyuan took a space ring and put it on the table, and continued: "It contains what I told the master. He will understand it after receiving it."
Feng Ruyu was stunned after hearing this, looked at him and said blankly: "So, this thing is for your master?"
Li Xiuyuan looked at her and responded in a low voice: "As long as my sister knows about this, don't tell others..." This was also a desperation move, because he didn't know whether the old man's physical condition would worsen. , he wants to send this thing back as soon as possible.
Feng Ruyu's seemingly calm heart was shocked. She didn't expect that what Li Xiuyuan spent so much time looking for turned out to be just for the old man at No. 47 Tianjie.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but said gently: "I didn't expect that the things you went crazy to take pictures turned out to be for your master!"
Only then did she understand the thoughts of the young man in front of her. Thinking of Li Xiuyuan's care for her master, she couldn't help but sigh softly.
Li Xiuyuan looked at Feng Ruyu and laughed, and asked, "Isn't sister going to Tianxiang Academy?"
Feng Ruyu frowned slightly, looked at him and replied: "You Ruo, that lazy cat, is still lying on the bed, waiting for her to get up before leaving. The academy is not far away, I will be back in the evening."
A hundred miles round trip, even the slowest carriage in Tianxiang City can make the round trip in one day.
...
Just after noon, Li Hongxiu and Ye Zhiqiu were making tea and chatting in the teahouse. Li Xiaoxue and Guan Qiu Ming had long since disappeared, and even Xu Jingyun and Lin Pengru went to rest in the house.
Li Hongxiu looked at Ye Zhiqiu, who was not very interested, and said quietly: "Wushuang's important matter is now completed. We will leave for Tianyu City tomorrow. Let Lin Yueru stay here with Wushuang for a few more days, and we will pick her up when we come back."
Both Li Hongxiu and Lin Yueru will eventually have to go back to the foot of Mount Xumi, where the general, sir, and others are waiting for all sentient beings to return.
Ye Zhiqiu nodded and replied: "I always have to see it with my own eyes before I feel relieved, otherwise I will wake up even if I am sleeping."
Li Hongxiu couldn't help laughing, looked at her and said, "You have to be mentally prepared. He might not be your Ye'er? How can you have a ten-year-old brother? How old is Xiaoxue now?"
Ye Zhiqiu glared at her and said with a smile: "We have been here for so many years and no one is holding you back. Why don't you and your husband have a child? When you become a mother, you will naturally understand how I feel."
Li Hongxiu blushed immediately when she heard this, looked at her and said with a smile, "Isn't it sir? Or why didn't my sister respond?"
Ye Zhiqiu was startled, looked at her and said seriously: "You have to talk to him about this matter when you go back. Don't talk about you. It has been so many years since Qiu Yu married your husband. Ordinarily the three of you should have had a son and a half." She’s a woman.”
While the two were chatting, You Ruo's voice came from outside the door: "I'm back. Do you two miss you Ruo?"
When Li Hongxiu heard this, she couldn't help but laugh: "You look like this, running around all day long, and your brother and sister-in-law don't care about you..."
Youruo looked at her and laughed strangely, pointed at Feng Ruyu behind him and said, "I have invited the noble man back for you. The person you are looking for is currently staying at my sister's Yuqiong Pavilion."
Li Hongxiu was startled, looked at her and asked, "Li Xiuyuan from Tianyu City has come to Tianxiang City? Where will he be now? Take us to meet him quickly."
Youruo pulled Feng Ruyu to sit down, looked at her and said with a smile: "This is Feng Ruyu, the female shopkeeper of Yuqiong Pavilion. My little master wrote two treasures with her that will be handed down from generation to generation."
