As Lu Qingyan walked, she casually grabbed a handful of bait from the clay pot held by the maid behind her and threw it into the lake.
In an instant, countless koi fish jumped out of the water, scrambling to grab food. The scene was truly spectacular!
Yaoniang's eyes were full of envy. Girls from wealthy families had such different ways of spending their free time. She, a humble person in cold clothes, didn't even know what species these fish were.
Lu Qingyan turned around and said with a smile: "Sister, don't you give it a try?"
Yaoniang actually wanted to try it, but the inferiority complex in her heart made her shake her head subconsciously.
Lu Qingyan waved to the four or five maids following behind her, and they immediately bowed their heads and retreated.
"Sister, can you tell me how you and Pei Liang met?"
Seeing Yaoniang's expression stunned and hesitant to speak, Lu Qingyan continued: "Don't get me wrong, sister, I have no other thoughts. It's just the two of us who want to say a few words of personal care to my sister!"
Yaoniang bit her lip lightly and nodded.
"I know that my sister has always been somewhat hostile to me. Although it has been resolved a lot these days, if some words are not spoken, everyone will feel a knot in their hearts after all."
"Sister also misunderstood, I didn't." Yaoniang said softly.
Lu Qingyan came over and took Yaoniang's hand, covered her mouth and said with a smile: "You are duplicity, aren't you? Everyone is selfish when it comes to feelings, and it would be the same for me. I can see that Brother Pei really loves you. , he is like a child when he is with you, you two are a match made in heaven!"
Yaoniang's eyes were shy and she lowered her head and did not dare to look directly into Lu Qingyan's eyes.
"To be honest, I also have an admiration for Brother Pei, and I once thought about fighting for love. But then I figured it out. The person that Brother Pei loves is you. Relationships cannot be forced. People who truly love each other should be fulfilled. And blessings!”
Lu Qingyan spoke sincerely, and her eyes were as gentle as water, showing calm relief.
"Sister can think so, sister... I can't repay you, please accept my bow!" Yaoniang was about to bow down, and Lu Qingyan quickly helped her up.
"My sister said something serious. I have been holding these words in my heart. Today I finally have the opportunity to say them out. I feel much more relaxed."
"Yeah" Yaoniang nodded.
"Pei Liang also said before that loving someone is not just for possession."
“Brother Pei’s ideas and realm have always been very high”
"He always has a pretentious look, which makes people unpredictable. When he is bored, he can not say a word for a whole day, and when he wants to tease you, he can make people half-dead."
When Yaoniang said these words, her eyes revealed unconcealable love and helplessness.
"Sister, if you are willing to listen, I will tell you the embarrassing story of Pei Liang."
Lu Qingyan nodded, and a gentle smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.
…
"Ah, he...he really touched your waist."
"But no, there are no men who are not lewd."
“I didn’t expect that Brother Pei’s appearance would be so interesting.”
"He just has a lustful heart but no sexual courage. He just likes to pretend to be a pig and eat the tiger."
"What about after Brother Pei rescued you?"
…
Between women, once they open their hearts and talk about speculation, the words flow like a torrent of rivers.
On the other side, Uncle Fang quietly retreated without knowing when, leaving only Lu Qin and Pei Liang standing side by side in the pavilion.
"Just stay here with peace of mind. You promised to take care of Yan'er for the rest of your life. No matter what price we pay for it, it will be worth it."
After Lu Qin finished speaking, seeing Pei Liang silent, he continued:
"It's just you and me right now, so feel free to say whatever you want."
"With all due respect, I am too pessimistic about the future of the Lu family."
Pei Liang sighed.
Lu Qin smiled slightly: "I heard from Yan'er that you were also worried about the future of the Lu family?"
"I'm worried, but not desperate yet."
"You are so far away in the world that you can still see the crisis of the Lu family. How about those who live in the temple? Everything is booming and then declining. This is a perfect cycle. I have lived to this age, and there is nothing I can't bear to see. The Lu family Destruction is not scary, but the scary thing is that too many innocent people will be involved. The one that worries me the most is my daughter. She has the same personality as her mother. She is weak on the outside but strong on the inside. She will never bear the slightest insult."
Lu Qin suddenly looked at Pei Liang: "When I was alive, I would naturally protect her in every possible way, but I was afraid of letting go..."
"The adults are always planning for the worst-case scenario"
"Everything in the world is determined by forewarning, otherwise it will be ruined. When it comes to breaking up with the royal family, the one who can protect my daughter is definitely not any force in the court, but a person in the world who is not bound by the law. This person Not only do you need to be highly skilled in martial arts, but you also need to win the trust of my Lu family!"
Pei Liang blurted out: "Isn't the old housekeeper next to you the best candidate?"
Lu Qin smiled and asked: "Uncle Fang can protect Yan'er for a while, but can he protect her for the rest of her life?"
Pei Liang touched his forehead. He really hadn't thought about the issue of age.
"Although the lifespan of a strong person in the Golden Body Realm is much longer than that of ordinary people, Uncle Fang has been following me for too long, and the details have been found out by the Chief of Ceremonies. Once he takes action, he will not be given a chance at all. We think After much deliberation, you are the most suitable, I believe in Yan'er's vision, and I believe in my own!"
When Lu Qin said this, he couldn't help but patted Pei Liang's shoulder vigorously. The two looked at each other, as if they both understood something.
When Pei Liang came, the two women were still chatting and laughing by the lake.
Pei Liang naturally didn't bother to join in the fun, and stopped after keeping a certain distance from them.
Seeing the man's slightly aloof and arrogant figure with his hands clasped behind his back, the two stunning beauties covered their mouths and burst into laughter.
"Ignore him, he's acting like a fool..." Yaoniang took a sip.
Lu Qingyan kept giggling and staring at Pei Liang.
When the man heard the commotion, he glanced here. How could he not know that the two women were making fun of him? Then he waved his hands and went home.
"Mr. Pei, since when have you become thinner-skinned than a yellow-flowered girl? Don't leave."
Pei Liang turned a deaf ear to Yaoniang's teasing laughter and walked along the lake to the hanging flower arch, only to see Uncle Fang standing there with a smile on his face.
After saying hello, Uncle Fang began to lead the way. Only then did Pei Liang notice that the old man turned around and was carrying a simple wooden box on his back. Judging from the size, it should be a sword or something.
Uncle Fang placed Pei Liang in a place called Fangfei Garden. The courtyard was filled with bamboos, flowers and plants. Many of the flowers had not withered yet, and they were all beautiful and fragrant.
Uncle Fang pushed open the door of the hall. The interior was elegant and majestic. The tables, chairs and floors were so clean that people could almost be reflected when they stepped on them.
"You live here. If you need anything, tell me anytime. Just treat it like your own home."
Uncle Fang waved his hand and sat down with a smile.
Pei Liang clasped his fists and said, "Senior and Mr. Lu have to worry about it!"
Uncle Fang smiled kindly and said, "We are all a family from now on, so don't be polite, little friend!"
Pei Liang nodded and sat down as well.
Uncle Fang took out the wooden box from behind and placed it horizontally on the table.
"Do you know the four famous swords in the world?"
"I've heard that Daozhen, Longyou, Chenying, and Demon Slayer can be called the top swordsmen."
After hearing this, Uncle Fang nodded slightly and stretched out his hand to brush the pattern on the box surface.
"Daozhen has been hidden in the Kunlun Mountains and has never appeared. The dragon is in Zhan Min's hand, and the sword never leaves his hand. He has been killing demons for hundreds of years without a trace, but this dusty shadow..."
When Uncle Fang said this, he suddenly opened the lock of the wooden box, and a long and slender sword was displayed inside. The scabbard seemed to be made of black iron, and a heavy breath came to his face. The sword was smaller than ordinary swords. , the surface is engraved with flying cloud patterns, the bright silver hilt is slender, and the shape is restrained and elegant. A real famous sword will not pursue eye-catching appearance.
Uncle Fang picked up the sword and handed it to Pei Liang.
"Giving a sword to a hero is my master's wish. Take it as a greeting gift. Please accept it, little friend!"
Pei Liang's expression changed, but he still shook his head.
"This gift is too expensive, I really can't afford it."
"Anything in the world, no matter how valuable it is, is just a dead thing if it cannot function. How can it be valuable? This dust shadow has been in the house for too long since it was found by the master. I believe that only my little friend can is its most suitable owner”
Fang Bo glanced at Pei Liang and signaled him to take it first.
Pei Liang immediately took it with both hands and felt a chill in his hand, but the weight was not as heavy as expected.
"Little friends, you can pull it out and pass it through your lower eyes first."
Hearing what Uncle Fang said, Pei Liang nodded slightly and touched the sword with his right hand. Before it reached the hilt, he suddenly heard a clang and a piercing cold light hit him. Pei Liang subconsciously closed his eyes.
"Haha, okay!" Uncle Fang stood up and looked at Pei Liang in surprise.
"The sword is not drawn out, and it opens by itself, which means that I have connected with you. My master and I saw it right! You two are indeed a match made in heaven!"
Uncle Fang stroked his beard and laughed, his eyes filled with satisfaction.
Pei Liang also looked at the sword in his hand with some surprise. The moment he touched the blade of the sword, he did have a strange feeling of beating heart. He felt that the sword was in perfect harmony with the sword energy in his body.
As Pei Liang pulled out the sword in one breath, a face was clearly reflected on the smooth, mirror-like blade.
"The four famous swords in the world each have their own merits. The Daozhen Sword is the supreme treasure of the Taoist sect and is suitable for practicing and understanding the way of heaven. The Longyou Sword is unparalleledly sharp and has the most murderous intent. It is not suitable for people with the right path to hold it. It is said that the Demon Slaying Sword weighs more than a thousand kilograms. It is powerful and domineering, and even if you think about it, it would not be suitable for my little friend's swordsmanship, but this dust shadow is moderate in weight, strong and soft, and is the most suitable!"
Hearing Uncle Fang's comments, Pei Liang couldn't help but feel full of admiration. The two of them only fought for a few rounds in the bamboo forest yesterday, and he could already accurately guess his own sword path. He was indeed a hidden master.
Pei Liang casually pulled out a sword flower, and the cold light that was as fast as lightning was condensed and undisturbed, just like a shadow passing through thousands of floating dust in the sun.
"It is indeed a magic weapon!" Pei Liang quickly sheathed the sword's edge and praised it freely.
Uncle Fang smiled and asked him to sit down.
"There is also a secret underground palace built in the mansion. It contains many martial arts secret books from all over the world, including many unique copies that have been lost for a long time. You can read them, little friends, and I will take you there myself!"
Pei Liang glanced at the increasingly mysterious old man in front of him and couldn't help being secretly surprised.
"I have been actively planning these years. Unless forced by circumstances, I would never have put in so much effort."
Uncle Fang sighed softly, and then looked at Pei Liang meaningfully.
"If our Lu family wants to rebel, would you like to support us?"
