The sky was dark, and the summer night came especially late. A gentle breeze blew around the Back Water Lake, dispelling some of the dampness.
"Sigh, my family came to see you one by one without saying anything." Lou Cheng held Yan Zheke's hand, lamenting about what had happened in the morning. Especially Lou Yuanwei, his unreliable brother, whose excuses were so ridiculous that he didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Fortunately, Lou Cheng still had some self-awareness, so he didn't stay for dinner even though Lou Cheng had warmly invited him.
However, with them as a contrast, Lou Cheng's parents didn't seem so strange to Yan Zheke. When there were only four of them left, she obviously relaxed a lot. She took the initiative to praise some of the dishes, which made Lou Cheng's mother so happy that she couldn't close her mouth.
After a sumptuous lunch, Lou Cheng led Yan Zheke into his room. They shared their schoolmates' album, posters of the Mighty Ones, and detective novels that they had bought before. They spent the whole afternoon happily together. However, Lou Zhisheng and Qi Fang were still at home, and they would knock on the door from time to time to deliver fruits, so they didn't dare to be intimate.
After dinner, Lou Zhisheng picked up Lou Debang and his wife. They had been worried about not having a granddaughter-in-law, but now they were very satisfied with Yan Zheke.
Walking slowly, Yan Zheke relaxed her eyebrows and completely shed her previous restraint. She smiled softly and said, "It's okay.
It's okay. I can understand. Really. If my brother brings his girlfriend home, I'll book a plane ticket and rush over to take a look. "
She was holding two red envelopes, one thick and one thin, from Qi Fang and Lou Debang respectively.
"Your brother brings his girlfriend home …" Lou Cheng couldn't help laughing. "It's, it's so surreal!"
He couldn't imagine how his brother-in-law would treat his girlfriend if he had a girlfriend.
"I think so too …" Yan Zheke didn't defend her cousin Lin Que. Instead, she nodded seriously.
Lou Cheng glanced at Yan Zheke's pink bag and red envelope and said, "Why don't you put it in? It's a burden to hold it in your hand."
"I like to hold it. What's wrong with that?" Yan Zheke answered briskly, holding the red envelope and shaking it proudly.
"Okay, okay, okay. As long as you like it." After chatting for a while, Lou Cheng remembered something and asked, "Ke, when are we going to your grandpa's house?"
"Well, maybe not …" Yan Zheke tilted her head and looked at him seriously.
"Why?" Lou Cheng was confused and confused.
Yan Zheke burst into laughter, revealing her dimples. "Because my grandparents missed me so much that they decided to come to Xiushan and live there for a while."
At this point, she pursed her lips and looked up. "There may be other relatives coming over these few days. When they leave, I'll take you home to meet Grandfather and Grandmother. Otherwise, you'll feel awkward facing a large group of people all of a sudden."
"That's good." Lou Cheng nodded in agreement.
At this time, they walked to the entrance of the villa community. Yan Zheke waved her hand and said,
"Cheng, I'm going in."
"Say hello to Empress Dowager and father-in-law for me." Lou Cheng responded with a smile.
After taking two steps, Yan Zheke suddenly turned around. She smiled shyly and said,
"Uncle, Auntie, they're nice people … I feel like we're family ~"
After that, she shook the red packet in her hand and walked briskly past the entrance.
"We're a family now, silly Ke …" Lou Cheng chuckled as he watched her leave.
…
In the living room of the Lou family, Qi Fang was wiping the tea table. She glanced at Lou Zhisheng who was watching the news attentively and said,
"That girl Zheke is quite delicate and well-mannered. She seems to have a good family education."
"Yeah, she's not a naughty girl. Good." Lou Zhisheng sipped his tea and nodded.
While the old couple was talking, Lou Cheng pushed open the door and walked in.
"You're back so soon?" Qi Fang blurted out in surprise.
"Not so soon. I've already sent Ke home." Lou Cheng answered blankly.
"Why can't you be more considerate? Why did you only send her home when you sent her home? You should take her shopping. It's just a walk. Boys should take the initiative! " Qi Fang didn't dare to comment on other things, but she did watch a lot of TV series. She deeply felt that her son had no romantic cells and looked as if she expected better from him.
"I've already taken a walk by the lake … If it weren't for Empress Dowager waiting for me, I'd definitely take Ke for a date. It'll take at least two or three hours to get back …" Lou Cheng complained and changed the topic. "Ke just told me in private that she feels that you two are really good friends."
"Ah, I'm still not a good host …" Qi Fang smiled and said modestly.
Lou Zhisheng picked up his teacup and took a sip. He couldn't hide his smile.
Lou Cheng thought of something and took the initiative to bring it up. "Dad, Mom, my master wants me to learn more about the Kung Fu of other countries and sects. I might be going to the United States more often in the future, so I'll have to stay for a long time each time. Let me teach you how to video chat …"
"Okay." Qi Fang was stunned and asked worriedly, "What about Zheke? It's not a good idea to be apart all the time. "
Lou Cheng smiled. "Mom, don't worry. Uncle Yan and the others have arranged a joint training program for Ke to study in America."
"That's good, that's good." Qi Fang heaved a sigh of relief. "You're going home for the holidays, right?"
"Of course." Lou Cheng smiled brightly. He took his parents' phones and started the "teaching activity".
At 8: 30, after Lou Zhisheng and Qi Fang had barely grasped how to video chat, he went back to his room and turned on his computer to do what he had done for the past few months.
While waiting for the computer to start, he took out his phone and replied to Yan Zheke's messages and browsed through dozens of recent messages in various groups.
Among them, in the family group, Ma Xi sent an emoji of drinking water.
"Sister-in-law, you're so beautiful. You're much prettier than on TV!"
Lou Yuanwei didn't say anything but sent a thumbs-up emoji.
Seeing that these messages were from a few hours ago, Lou Cheng didn't respond and clicked on an emoji of "passing by quickly".
His computer was fully booted up. He opened the browser and began to browse various niche "cultivation" forums and large shopping websites.
Ever since his "Nine Words Formula" became famous, items related to the "Lin, Bing, Dou, Zhe, All Array Advance" became a hot topic on the Internet. Many people posted things like "Ancient Nine Words Picture", "Golden Stone Nine Seals", "Incomplete Secret Art", "Ancestral Nine Words Picture Atlas", and so on. They would cheat and cheat as much as they could. After all, even sects like the Shang Qing Sect and Daxing Temple could not guarantee that their disciples would be able to practice something by looking at the picture.
"What? You said you bought my ancestral secret method but didn't practice the secret method? " "Boy, you're not smart enough!" "Here, let me introduce you another one, suitable for people with low intelligence … Is that not enough?" "Look at yourself in the mirror. Don't practice martial arts if you're ugly!"
In this situation where non-strong martial artists couldn't distinguish the real from the fake, many people thought that they had good taste and good luck. They believed that they could definitely distinguish the real from the fake and find the real secret method. Then, they would have an adventure and become the protagonist, walking to the peak of life …
Lou Cheng relied on his ability to return to the origin of cultivation through the remaining essence and charm of the Nine Words Formula. He also joined the ranks of the "gold rush", hoping to find something useful.
To him, with the breakthrough some time ago, the Inhuman stage wasn't so far away. However, how long it would take for him to step into it was another matter.
Although he had set a target of four months, he only had a certain degree of confidence and did not dare to say that he was certain. Therefore, in addition to the daily training of his will and martial arts, he planned to find some "catalysts" and "primers" in order to accumulate enough momentum. Within three to four months, he would be able to push past the threshold of the Inhuman stage like a flood breaking through a dam. Currently, the most promising "primer" and "catalyst" was undoubtedly the remaining "Nine Words Formula"!
Not only would it help him, but it also had the possibility of healing his master's injury and Ke's body. This was his main goal for this semester!
In the past few months, Lou Cheng had actually found many items that he himself found hard to distinguish. However, he didn't waste time to verify them himself. He directly passed the clues to Geezer Shi and asked him to pass them to the Divine Enchanter of Sin Flame and other seniors.
Hey, if it's a liar, the military daddy will strip you of your underwear! He thought to himself.
However, from the feedback from the military, they were all fake, fake …
Of course, Lou Cheng wouldn't pass all the clues to the military. This was because a few of the items did have some remaining essence and charm. He could directly confirm that they were real and wanted to spend a few hundred yuan to pick them up. However, up until now, these few items were either too incomplete or had wrong charm. They hadn't given him a new "Nine Words Formula" yet.
"Cheng, did I … did I eat too much during lunch and dinner …?" Yan Zheke, who had just calmed down after taking a shower, sent a message to Lou Cheng via "Daze" when she thought of this.
Lou Cheng couldn't help but laugh. [Hand touching chin expression] He said, "No, I'll be the comparison!"
While chatting, he glanced at the computer screen from the corner of his eye. Suddenly, he was stunned.
On the current page was a brocade handkerchief with the word "Dou" engraved on it. It vaguely gave a feeling of fighting against the heavens and the earth!
"Eh …" Lou Cheng sat up straight, moved the mouse, and clicked on the dialog box with the seller.
"Where did this thing come from?" he asked bluntly.
The seller was called Never Miss A Chance. He replied enthusiastically, "Dear, this was passed down from my ancestors. Do you want to buy it? I've been having a hard time recently, so I'll give you a discount. 999 yuan is yours. It's the same style as Lou Cheng's. Dear, the pronunciation of the word "Dou".
"I mean, if you want to cheat, at least make it more real. A handkerchief needs to be old. You just bought it not long ago, right?" Lou Cheng said with a sneer.
"… Dear, we're just trying to make a living. You don't have to do this …" Never Miss A Chance's attitude suddenly turned cold.
"Also, where did you copy it from? Were you cheated too? "Lou Cheng's expression was solemn, but his tone sounded like he was gossiping.
