On the roof of a house in this mansion in the deep of an alley, Qing Huai who disappeared as soon as she entered the mansion was sitting and looking at the pavilion in the distance with a smile.
Next to her, there was a young woman in a cloth dress whose face was pale but looked peaceful. In the daytime, she still held an oil paper umbrella and covered herself under it. Now she was sitting idly on the roof with Qing Huai, a teenage girl dressed in black clothes.
After Qing Huai called “idiot”, the woman whose name was Hehua showed a faint smile. Seeing that Qing Huai still didn’t plan to leave after calling, she asked in confusion, “Qing Huai, why don’t you go to help him?”
Qing Huai looked emotionless, “I have to let him experience the danger in the human world. Otherwise, such a boy from a small town would be bullied when he is out.”
Hehua covered her mouth and chuckled, thinking, “Qing Huai, you look so young. Why do you speak l
After leaving Zhuyu Town, they continued to walk northward. These days, Huang Jin was in low spirits obviously. After getting out of that mansion, he didn’t carry that machete on his back, and it was replaced with that umbrella, so the machete was on Li Fuyao’s back.It was ridiculous for a swordsman to carry a machete on his back. Although in Chen Sheng’s opinion, Li Fuyao was an unpresentable swordsman, he was a swordsman anyway. However, Li Fuyao had special feelings for this machete which was with him when he fought the first fight in his life, so he didn’t say anything.The three continued on the official road. Huang Jin walked quickly behind the other two but didn’t raise his head. This scholar took part in the first test of the imperial examination in Shaoliang City this year and learnt the news that the woman got married. Then he gave up the next tests and came back home in a hurry. According to the rules in Dazhou, he couldn’t attend the imperial e
After parting with Huang Jin, Qing Huai and Li Fuyao walked much more quickly. After one day, they left the official road and came into a large provincial city. Earlier, Li Fuyao bought a map of Dazhou on the way and knew that this city was not ordinary. When the first emperor of Dazhou established the country, he had risen from here. After Dazhou was established, this provincial city named Yamen had a new awkward-sounding name, Yanshi. Now, Yanshi City and the capital city Shaoliang were the most important cities of the country. And the local people even called Yanshi the second capital city in secret. It could be seen how significant Yanshi City was in Dazhou.After they entered the city, Li Fuyao thought they would buy some food and continue to walk, but Qing Huai wasn’t in a hurry and insisted on having a rest for one night. Li Fuyao looked at Qing Huai helplessly. He certainly couldn’t defeat her if they fought. But except fighting, if he tried to reason her, he wo
The young general waved his knife several times in a short while, chopping the spring rain and the stairs and even hitting a big bowl. He stabbed with much strength each time, but he didn’t hit the two young men once.The young man who had called his big brother earlier flew out of the eave and fought against the young general in the spring rain, while the big brother ignored the general and came to Li Fuyao, smiling at him, “Aren’t you afraid?”Li Fuyao smiled, “In fact, I look forward to seeing you take actions later.”The young man was surprised and looked curious, “Why?”Li Fuyao replied calmly, “They are common warriors, but you are a cultivator.”He got right down to the heart of the matter.The young man asked seriously, “How did you know?”Li Fuyao answered with a smile, “Because I am a cultivator, too.”As a matter of fact, Li Fuyao was not confident when he was saying th
It was a happy ending. Yang Lai joined the army, and Xie Ying didn’t need to worry about the escaped prisoners. After reading the saint’s essay, Yang Wei should return to Hengyang Academy which fully deserved to be the most prestige school in Dazhou. That academy was not in Dazhou, but its fame spread far and wide, so it had an awe-inspiring reputation in this country. Earlier, the three and Li Fuyao as well as Qing Huai had dinner together in the hotel.Qing Huai always talked little to the irrelevant people except for Li Fuyao, so she just brought a pot of liquor and sat alone on the doorsill. She would take a sip when she looked up at the starry sky and didn’t get drunk.The shopkeeper of the hotel and his wife had heard about the talent from the Xie Family but had seen the top young promising man in Yanshi City for the first time. They looked at him several times, but they were afraid of the soldiers in the courtyard, so they didn’t say more.
The prison was alight with lamps at night, and it was like the daytime.Xie Chenjun in scarlet official uniform stood at the gate of the prison and suddenly stopped. The middle-aged man behind him closed the umbrella but didn’t say anything. He just put his hands in the sleeves and looked calm.The prison guard who welcomed them at the gate bent down. This middle-aged man who had been working in the Yanshi prison for more than ten years didn’t dare to look up at the old man, the most powerful official in this city. In fact, as the decision-maker of this generation in the Xie Family, Xie Chenjun was the family master and the timeless one in the officialdom. This old man was the best writer of cursive handwriting in Dazhou and a great master in music. And he was among the select best in writing essays. What was more, when the late emperor started the battle in the south that year, Xie Chenjun was the commander in chief of the army. However, as he was getting
Something happened too many years ago, so it couldn’t be investigated. But since it was said by Qing Huai, Li Fuyao was willing to believe it. However, if they dug into it, Qing Huai didn’t know what exactly happened. Thus, when Li Fuyao inquired, the angry and red-faced teenage girl just closed the window with a bang.It made Li Fuyao resentful for a while.It was getting light at dawn and Li Fuyao stood under the eave, waiting for Qing Huai. The spring rain lasted for one day and night, and now it stopped. In such weather, it was not good to continue the journey, but it was not too bad.Qing Huai walked out of the hotel and stood under the eave for a while, asking, “Li Fuyao, have you got an answer to the question you considered earlier?”Li Fuyao stayed silent for a short time and soon realized that Qing Huai was talking about the question he had asked Yang Wei. He pondered for a minute and decided to tell her frankly. After he
After leaving Yanshi City, Li Fuyao just concentrated on heading for Shaoliang. Even Qing Huai had to admire him as this teenager was quite methodical. The destination of their trip was the border between Yanling and Dayu, but as they walked, Li Fuyao always thought about when they should get to some place. If Qing Huai hadn’t delayed for several days, according to his plan, they should have reached the capital city and its environs.Li Fuyao had never been to Shaoliang City, but he had stayed in Dazhou for many years and got accustomed to most people’s temperament in this country, so he hoped to see what the capital city looked like and the emperor who was always worshiped by his people. This time he was going to the Sword Mountain and would pass Shaoliang City, so it was fine that he would see the emperor by the way. Li Fuyao was just worried that Qing Huai would be unwilling to. After all, this teenage girl from the demonic land was his greatest reliance.
The young master said he would reason with them. Generally, something like this happened frequently in other fictions. Those scholars seemed to like writing such plots. But after thousands of years, such scenes were watched repeatedly and were stereotyped. To reason with others was just to play the bully. Before practicing swordsmanship, Li Fuyao was a storyteller, so when he heard the words “reason with you”, he thought it would be like the plots in the fictions. But after the young master in gorgeous clothes started talking, Li Fuyao found that he was trying to reason as he said.The young master sat down and then began his long speech. Perhaps he thought he was reasonable, he didn’t notice Li Fuyao’s face getting straight.As always, Qing Huai ignored this young master who was like an annoying fly. She finished drinking tea and then looked into the distance alone, turning a deaf ear to his voice.It made the young master’s attendant show a t
