The next day, it rained continuously...
Liu Shen started practicing "Tong Zi Kung" and opened up the Ren and Du channels. He originally wanted to go to the dock to carry sacks and see how much his strength had increased.
I never thought that there would be no work at the dock on a rainy day.
Seeing that all the porters were resting, he thought about it, put on his bamboo hat, put on his raincoat and went out.
As soon as I arrived in front of the Tongda Hall, I saw a beautiful woman holding an oil-paper umbrella walking through the continuous rain. Her graceful figure was even more charming against the hazy mist.
The two looked at each other in the air and noticed each other.
Liu Shen walked into the Tongda Hall with a smile and took off his bamboo hat and raincoat;
Pei Xueyan walked into the Tongda Hall with a smile on his lips and put away his oil-paper umbrella.
When Yuan Xiaofei saw the two of them, he took the umbrella from the young lady's hand with a smile, and wiped the rainwater on his bamboo hat and raincoat with a towel.
"Fate~"
Liu Shen smiled and said, "I haven't been to Tongda Hall for a few days, and I never expected to meet the young lady when I came here."
"Who is destined to you?"
Pei Xueyan thought of the advantages she had taken advantage of in the past few days, and snorted rather proudly, raised her pink neck and said: "Tongda Hall is the property of my Song family, is there any problem with my coming here?"
"Yeah."
Yuan Xiaofei, who was standing next to him, echoed seriously: "Brother Shen, you haven't been here lately, but the young lady comes to Tongda Hall every day..."
"oh?"
Liu Shen was surprised, glanced at the stiff-faced Pei Xueyan, and asked, "Does the young lady look a little unhappy every time she leaves?"
"Brother Shen, how do you know?"
Yuan Xiaofei stared at the words and subconsciously responded, as if he couldn't believe that Brother Shen could guess the state of the young mistress even though he was not here.
"..."
Liu Shen saw Pei Xueyan gritting his teeth in annoyance, and said with a smile: "I can guess it, so I can guess it."
When Pei Xueyan saw him looking at her with a smile, her face felt a little hot, and she snorted softly and went to the inner hall.
"..."
Yuan Xiaofei blinked blankly upon seeing this, not knowing what happened, and said: "Brother Shen, the young lady doesn't seem to be in a very good mood."
"It's none of your business."
After Liu Shen waved his hand to indicate what he should do, he went to see Xiao Yuhong again. Seeing that the little girl looked very good, he chatted and then went to the accounting room...
Pei Xueyan seemed to be sulking as he sat there, and after seeing Liu Shen come in, she snorted and turned her head away from him.
Liu Shen came up behind her with a smile, gently rubbed her shoulders, and asked in an infatuated manner: "Who made our young lady angry?"
"A rude porter."
When Pei Xueyan saw him taking the initiative to rub her shoulders, the shame in her heart disappeared a bit, but she pretended to be arrogant and said on her face: "That stinky footman wants to practice martial arts. After he got the technique, he forgot about his siblings and friends. , do you think it’s hateful or not?”
"Hateful! Really hateful!"
Liu Shen naturally knew that she was complaining about him, so he followed her words and explained: "Maybe the porter has not forgotten his siblings or friends, but he was obsessed with practicing martial arts for the first time and wasted some time."
His voice paused, and then he said: "No, after that stinky footman got his first glimpse of martial arts, he immediately came to visit his siblings and share his joy with his friends."
"Um?"
Pei Xueyan turned around in surprise when he heard this, looked him up and down, and asked: "You have only been able to practice martial arts for four days before entering the country?"
"Thanks to my young lady Hongfu..."
Liu Shen explained with a smile: "The "Tong Zi Gong" is indeed miraculous. I practiced hard according to the piles in it for a few days. About three o'clock in the morning, I found the Qi machine, opened up the Ren and Du meridians, and barely entered the realm."
"At the third watch..."
Pei Xueyan heard that he had found the Qi machine in the middle of the night and opened up the Ren and Du channels to enter the realm. She came to Tongda Hall early in the morning, and the little temper in her heart immediately disappeared.
She was obviously curious in her heart, but she pretended to ask on her face: "Then... what's so special about you after you entered the country to practice martial arts?"
"Mysterious?"
Liu Shen thought for a while and didn't know how to describe the energy in his body. He had no choice but to explain with a wry smile: "The first level of martial arts is just an introduction. The important thing is to penetrate the meridians. Compared with ordinary people, it is only a little stronger." It’s just bigger, if you want to show the difference, you have to start from the second realm.”
His voice paused, and he continued with a straight face: "Moreover, practicing martial arts is not something that can be accomplished overnight. You need to study hard and practice hard, and only after time has settled can you appreciate the magic of it."
"That's true..."
Pei Xueyan nodded thoughtfully, and then seemed to think of something. He bit his lower lip and asked worriedly and tentatively: "The longer the time settles, the deeper your inner strength will be. By then, you will be successful in martial arts, and you will be famous." If you move into the world, will you no longer recognize your siblings or friends?"
"My young lady's words are too hurtful."
Liu Shen snorted softly when he heard this, and said with an unhappy expression: "Liu's ability to practice martial arts is all thanks to his younger siblings and friends. How can this kind of friendship be something that time can kill? How can success in martial arts mean fame?" Is it comparable to Dongjianghu?"
He paused, looked into Pei Xueyan's eyes and said coldly: "May I ask, young lady, if there is such a sense of friendship, if I, Liu Shen, don't recognize my siblings or my friends, how am I different from an animal?"
"..."
Pei Xueyan's heart trembled when he saw her, and she knew that her words must have made him angry.
So she panicked and looked away from him, then pursed her lips and muttered: "I said the wrong thing, please don't be angry."
Seeing the eldest mistress whom he had betrayed, Liu Shen sat aside with satisfaction, knocked on the table and said, "My mouth is dry. Grandma, please pour me a cup of tea to moisten my throat."
"you……"
Pei Xueyan glared at him, but didn't know what to say. She stood up with a slight hum and helped him pour some tea, and said angrily: "Drink it quickly if you're thirsty. After you drink it, come with me to Song's house."
"Why are you going to the Song family?"
"The old man wants to see you..."
"Cough cough cough..."
When Liu Shen heard this, the tea he just drank in his mouth almost spat out. He pointed at himself with a puzzled expression and asked, "Mr. Song, do you want to see me?"
"OK…"
Pei Xueyan nodded and explained curiously: "Maybe the old man saw that I had become enlightened recently and asked someone to ask. Then he knew that you were helping me, so he called me over and asked about you. He also said that there was something wrong with you. If you have time, let me take you to see him."
"Mr. Song asked about me?"
Liu Shen's face twisted into a ball when he heard this, and he asked, "What did you say, young lady?"
"Tell the truth..."
Pei Xueyan seemed to be worried about something, and said timidly: "The old man knows that you are helping me. When he asked me, I can't lie. I can only say what I have to say."
"Have you told everything between us?"
"No word left..."
"..."
Liu Shen was not angry when he heard this, because he knew that he could hide the fact that he helped Pei Xueyan check the Song family's property accounts from outsiders, but he could never hide it from the old man who was the head of the Song family.
Mr. Song learned from his servants that he was helping Pei Xueyan, so he probably sent someone to investigate him secretly...
Liu Shen saw Pei Xueyan's aggrieved look of "Don't be angry" and said with relief: "Don't think too much. For people like Mr. Song, most of the time they ask questions with answers. You didn't lie to the old man." It’s a wise decision.”
"Aren't you angry?"
"What do I have to be angry about?"
"..."
Pei Xueyan curled her lips when she heard this and muttered: "Last time you said that if a third person knew about your practice of "Tongzi Kung", you would break up with me, which made me worry in vain for several days."
"Hahahaha~"
Liu Shen couldn't help laughing when he saw her complicated expression, which was worried just now but relieved now.
"You can't hide it from Mr. Song, so it doesn't count!"
As he spoke, he drank all the tea in the cup, stood up and said, "To be honest, as a junior, I have long wanted to meet someone like Mr. Song!"
"It's better to choose a different day than to hit it, let's go!"
Pei Xueyan led him out of the room with a happy smile. After opening the umbrella, she saw that he was wearing a raincoat and a bamboo hat. She said impatiently: "It's just a little rain. My umbrella is enough."
"..."
Liu Shen couldn't refuse the beauty's kindness, so he took the initiative to hold an umbrella for her and walked into the misty rain...
