Chapter 15, Contract Spiritual Array
"Didn't I become Jiang Ruoyun's slave?!"
A helpless and bitter smile appeared on Lu Feng's face, thinking about what he had experienced in recent years, it can be said that one thing was worse than the other. First, the seven souls were damaged and lost all their strength, and now their lives are controlled by others and they lose their freedom.
Lu Feng was reluctant to feel his life soul, and then he was surprised to find that the slightest sensation from Jiang Ruoyun didn't seem to have a great impact on him. He tried to impact the demonic red mark and felt how strong it was. , Lu Feng had confidence in his heart that with the rough formation techniques, such a contract formation was not even a spiritual formation, so it would not be difficult to dismantle it.
Thinking about it this way, Lu Feng couldn't help but feel a lot more at ease. After all, no one wanted to have their life controlled by a stranger, even if the stranger was a beautiful woman.
Although Lu Feng could immediately erase the contract mark, he did not take action to cancel it. He could just take this opportunity to stay in Qinglong Town legitimately.
Furthermore, he didn't have the slightest dislike for the woman in front of him. Moreover, she had a "life-saving grace" and should repay her.
Seeing that Lu Feng was not angry, Jiang Ruoyun seemed to be relieved. If Lu Feng strongly asked her to cancel the contract formation, she would not know what would happen, because the contract spirit formation was obtained by her unintentionally, and only recorded the deployment of the formation. method, but I don’t know how to remove it.
…
"Clean up and come to me in the yard," Jiang Ruoyun left these words and walked out of the room.
Lu Feng changed into the clothes given by Jiang Ruoyun and looked around. Although the clothes were a bit old-fashioned, they were washed very clean. Not only did they not look out of place, but they had a faint fragrance of lotus flowers.
It wasn't that Lu Feng didn't want to change into his own clothes, but there was nothing he could change in the Qilin Ring. He only had one or two sets of clothes when he had lived in the valley for a long time. They were already worn out and dilapidated when he was in Wuyou Village.
Lu Feng looked at himself in the bronze mirror and was a little distracted. Since the Seven Souls were reshaped, his body shape and appearance have undergone tremendous changes. His figure is no longer as strong and majestic as before, but it is still pretty good. With a normal body shape, the biggest change is in the cheeks. The originally immature facial features have become much more mature, and there is a trace of toughness and sharpness between the eyebrows that has never been seen before.
Now, Lu Feng's behavior is no longer as high-spirited, youthful, and arrogant as before. Instead, he has become a bit restrained, keeping a low profile, and has an air of calmness and calmness about him.
Lu Feng smiled slightly, dusted his clothes, and walked towards the yard outside the door.
The first thing that catches the eye is a huge banyan tree in the yard. It has thin leathery leaves, narrow oval shape, rusty brown aerial roots, and dark gray bark. Everything shows its age.
Gravel paving, green potted plants, although the whole yard is not big, it is very fresh and elegant.
Waves of beautiful vocal music came from the side of the banyan tree. Lu Feng walked along the gravel path and saw Jiang Ruoyun playing the piano there.
She was in green clothes and skirt, cool and indifferent, with no decoration on her beautiful face, just like a fairy who did not eat fireworks. She was completely different from the unruly and willful person before, so much so that Lu Feng looked a little doubtful, which side was it? Jiang Ruoyun's most realistic performance.
The slender jade fingers lightly outlined the strings and struck the beautiful notes.
For a long time, Lu Feng was listening intently, but he found that the sound of the piano stopped suddenly.
It turned out that the string was broken.
A hint of distress flashed across Jiang Ruoyun's face, and he slowly stood up after stroking the piano. He moved his lotus steps slightly and walked towards the banyan tree. He stretched out his little hand, and the green cuffs slowly slipped down, revealing a section of snow-white and delicate hao. He gently touched the branches of the banyan tree with his wrist, looking a little sad.
Just as Lu Feng was about to step forward, he was stopped by Xiao Rou, who pulled her away and said softly: "Don't disturb the lady right now, she is in a bad mood."
"What's wrong?" Lu Feng asked.
Xiaorou hesitated for a moment and said: "Since you have made a contract with the lady, you are her slave. It doesn't hurt to tell you. Every time the lady is unhappy, she will stare at the banyan tree in a daze. This time it should be because of the banyan tree a few days ago. Don’t be unhappy with what happened at the coming-of-age ceremony.”
Lu Feng glanced at Jiang Ruoyun in the distance and continued to listen to Xiaorou.
"Back then, Miss was the most outstanding genius in Jiang Mansion. No, she could be said to be the most outstanding existence in the entire Qinglong Town. She had penetrated the Seven Souls before she was twelve years old and was about to start the journey of soul cultivation." Xiaorou said with eyes. Revealing great regret and regret.
"It's a pity that on the night when the young lady merged and penetrated the seven souls, a sudden change occurred. A thunder struck down and hit the ancient banyan tree in the courtyard." Xiaorou pulled Lu Feng and moved a few steps to the left. Then Lu Feng looked at As expected, there was a black mark on the side of the banyan tree.
"Failed to penetrate?" Lu Feng asked.
"If it fails, forget it. At least the young lady still has the power of the Seven Soul Realm, so she will not be as depressed as she is today." Xiaorou said bitterly: "The young lady's residence was far away from here at the beginning. Who knew that this would happen? Damn it, the thunder can actually affect the young lady. After that night, the young lady's strength declined day by day, from the seven soul realm to the one soul realm."
"How can you still degenerate after you have penetrated the Seven Souls?" Lu Feng asked in surprise.
Xiaorou nodded and continued regretfully: "Yes, she has deteriorated. The young lady fell from the high platform where she was admired and respected. Since then, her status in the family has been deteriorating. From the high-ranking daughter of the Jiang family, to the current slave in the mouth, 'A side wife', no one can remember the glory she once had."
Lu Feng was not surprised when he heard this and felt a little regretful. He felt the feeling of falling from a height so much that he felt a sense of sympathy in his heart. Thinking about it, Jiang Ruoyun must have been ridiculed by the family members in recent years.
If it hadn't been for what Xiaorou said, Lu Feng would never have believed that the leisurely and peaceful girl in the distance had such an experience. However, these years of experience were enough to build Jiang Ruoyun's character into an impenetrable barrier.
…
"Hey, I am still enjoying my time here watching catkins and willows," an extremely harsh and unpleasant voice came from outside the courtyard door, breaking the tranquility of the small courtyard.
Appearing at the door were several boys and girls about the same age as Jiang Ruoyun. They were wearing uniform clothes. The word "Jiang" engraved on the dark golden lines on their chests represented that these people had a certain status in Jiang Mansion.
Jiang Ruoyun frowned slightly as he looked at the people who were about to enter the courtyard, and shouted in disgust: "Get out!"
Several boys and girls were startled by Jiang Ruoyun's shouts and were frightened to move forward. Even when facing Jiang Ruoyun, whose strength had deteriorated, some of them were still a little timid because the former Jiang Ruoyun was too brilliant and too terrifying.
One of the girls calmed down, coughed, and said, "You'll feel better in a few days. Brother Jiang Feng has applied to the elders in the mansion, and the yard will be taken back soon," she said with a mocking look. Jiang Ruoyun threatened: "You'd better move out as soon as possible to avoid embarrassment later."
The woman who spoke was Jiang Caiyun. She was also the daughter of Jiang Mansion, but she belonged to a different faction. Jiang Mansion had three heads. The first head of the house was Jiang Ruoyun's grandfather, Jiang Batian, and the second head of the house, Jiang Aotian, was Jiang Caiyun's grandfather.
The two have had a very good relationship since childhood, but since Jiang Ruoyun's seven souls' accident, Jiang Caiyun's attitude has gradually changed, from being alienated and indifferent at the beginning to ridiculing and teasing in recent years.
Jiang Caiyun originally thought that her words would affect Jiang Ruoyun at all, but the reality was that Jiang Ruoyun seemed not to hear him and was still so indifferent, but the eyes he looked at a few people began to look a little unkind.
It’s no wonder these boys and girls have become so mean and powerful. It’s just that Jiang Ruoyun was too good when he was young and cast a heavy shadow on their childhood. Now he’s here to take it back…
"Grandpa can't protect me after all..." Jiang Ruoyun felt a little miserable in her heart. Ever since her talent was shattered, she had become the laughing stock of the Jiang Mansion. The elders in the mansion gradually gave up on her and allowed herself to perish. If it weren't for the master of the mansion, Jiang I'm afraid Ba Tianxianghu's life will be even more miserable.
But now, forced by the aggressive pressure from other elders in the mansion, Jiang Batian was unable to protect Jiang Ruoyun, whose cultivation level was in decline. Even the head of a mansion had many helplessness.
"Do you want to go out?" Jiang Ruoyun smiled mockingly, then looked at the people still outside the courtyard gate and said coldly: "Go back and tell Jiang Feng that I will leave, but he is not qualified to rush."
The boys and girls were oppressed by the aura exuded by Jiang Ruoyun and were a little nervous. After seeing Lu Feng in the courtyard in a panic, a man standing next to Jiang Caiyun laughed evilly and threatened as if he had caught something: "I didn't expect that the dignified daughter of the Jiang family would be so shameless. There would be a man hiding in the boudoir, doing shady things, and the news would spread..."
Before the man finished speaking, he saw a red shadow suddenly flickering in front of his eyes, and then there was a long blood mark on his mouth, which was burning and painful.
It was the whip that Jiang Ruoyun suddenly whipped out of his hand.
Jiang Ruoyun slowly withdrew his long whip, his eyes revealed a fierce look, and shouted: "Jiang Ren, keep your mouth clean. If you do this again next time, it won't be as simple as just whipping you." The tone of his voice was even more threatening.
Jiang Ren, who was whipped, stared at Jiang Ruoyun in disbelief, with a hint of fear in his eyes. He who was in the Third Soul Realm could not avoid Jiang Ruoyun's casual whip? She is obviously only in the first soul realm.
"Then how do you explain him?" Jiang Caiyun looked at Jiang Ren's defeat and said to help. Others were afraid of Jiang Ruoyun, but she was not afraid. Now her status in the mansion was much nobler than Jiang Ruoyun's.
"He is Miss's indentured slave" Xiaorou couldn't help but explain to Jiang Ruoyun.
Jiang Ruoyun didn't stop Xiaorou from speaking. Although she didn't bother to explain in her heart, if these brainless people went back to add insult to injury, it would probably affect Jiang Mansion's reputation if word spread.
Jiang Caiyun was stunned for a moment when he heard this. The response he got was a bit unexpected, and he didn't know how to refute it. He turned to vent his anger on Lu Feng, pointed in the direction where Lu Feng was standing, and said with a look of disdain: "You are such a dignified man, you actually work as a slave for a woman, you are really shameless. , it’s really useless.”
Lu Feng seemed not to have heard it, and was not moved at all. His face had a soft smile as always, but a coldness flashed deep in the corners of his eyes.
On the contrary, Jiang Ruoyun once again raised the whip in his hand and was about to swing it out. Seeing this, Lu Feng quickly moved over and stopped Jiang Ruoyun's move.
Jiang Caiyun and others were shocked when they saw Lu Feng's speed.
Lu Feng smiled gently at the people outside the courtyard and said, "It's just a casual meal. What does it matter whether you are a slave or not, and whether you are a slave or not?"
The smile gives people a very pure feeling, without any sense of inferiority as a slave, as if he is a noble child.
