When His Royal Highness woke up in the morning the next day, he found that his eldest sister had fallen asleep at the head of the bed. He got up with a wry smile. The wound on his back had already scabbed over, and the speed of his recovery was astonishing. Although there was still a long way to go before he reached the Vajra Realm, he already had a huge advantage over the body of an ordinary martial artist. The sound of Hsu Fengnian waking up did not wake Xu Zhihu up, but it startled the servant girl sleeping next door, Qiao Er Qiao. Most of the servant girls who did their jobs were not deeply asleep. She casually put on a coat and trotted in. It was a hot summer day, so she was dressed lightly. Her growing figure was graceful and graceful, and she had the unique moist spirit of a Jiangnan woman. Her body was light and pure. Otherwise, the capital's officials and dignitaries would not have raised thin horses in their households. The thin horses trained by the Gangnam-do and the West Chu concubines were known as the two beauties. Hsu Fengnian raised his finger and shushed her, indicating for the budding young girl to be quiet. She glanced at His Royal Highness's naked upper body, and her small face flushed red. She quickly lowered her head, afraid that she would overstep the rules. The higher the status of a powerful family, the stricter the rules and regulations. The masters also had different personalities, so the servants naturally did not dare to be arrogant and overstep the boundaries. Moreover, the servant girl Qiao Er Qiao had heard too much about the arrogant behavior of Beiliang's Heir Apparent from the Miss's mouth. In addition to yesterday's disturbance, she did not dare to be careless. The little girl originally thought that His Royal Highness would at most go to Jiangxin County to beat up that henpecked Master Chengzhai after seeing the Miss. She would never have thought that His Royal Highness would use a horse to drag Liu Liting's corpse from Jiangxin County to the Lu Residence.
Hsu Fengnian picked up a mutton-fat jade bottle at the head of the bed, lowered his voice, and chuckled, "Qiao Er, help me apply the ointment. I can't reach my back."
The little girl trembled as she took the jade bottle. She poured out the fragrant ointment onto her fingertips and sat on the edge of the bed. Her face, ears, and neck were red as she gently applied the ointment onto His Royal Highness's back. When her fingertips touched the skin, her delicate body trembled. The girl's sparkling and translucent skin was almost dripping with water. However, when she saw that in addition to the new injuries on His Royal Highness's back, there were also some old scars, she only felt shocked. She didn't dare to imagine why His Royal Highness, who had such a prestigious family background, would be covered in scars. The little maid Qiao Er lived in the courtyard of the Lu Residence, which was as deep as the Marquis's palace. She was especially fortunate to be under Xu Zhihu's protection. How could she understand the sinister ups and downs of the Jianghu? To her, if the Miss ate less rice or caught a cold from heatstroke, it would be a big deal. It was like being slapped in the face by a fierce woman. She would risk her life to avenge the Miss and repay the kindness. Generally speaking, Qiao Er was lucky to be able to meet such a widowed master like Xu Zhihu. She didn't need to worry about being molested by her master's men. In the aristocratic families, how many maids as delicious and seductive as her could maintain their virginity? They would have long been secretly eaten or openly eaten until not even their bones were left. The private affairs of the boudoir were something that even the moral model sages and scholars couldn't say anything about.
With her help, Hsu Fengnian put on a new set of clothes and quietly got off the bed. He smiled and said, "Qiao Er, I'm going out to get some fresh air. You just wait for my sister and let her wake up naturally."
Qiao Er timidly and shyly agreed. Only now did she secretly notice that His Royal Highness was tall and slender. He was much taller than the Gangnam-do men.
Hsu Fengnian walked out of the room. Blue Bird was standing in the courtyard. Master and servant left the Freehand Garden and strolled along the lake. Hsu Fengnian saw that the Tangxi Sword Fairy Lu Baijie was already sitting in the pavilion. He didn't know if she was waiting for him. Hsu Fengnian walked over without hesitation. Lu Baijie was the youngest of the Seven Glittering Jewels of the Lu family. Because he had never married and had children, he did not leave the family and lived in Retreat Garden. Because the head of the family, Lu Daolin, held the position of the Right Chancellor of the Imperial College in the capital, all the affairs in the Lu residence were usually handled by Lu Xuanlang. Tang Xi Sword Immortal usually did not care about worldly affairs, but the more he was like this, the more his words carried weight on important matters. Even Lu Daolin and Lu Xuanlang, who held the power of the Lu family, had to pay attention to the opinions of this concubine-born brother.
Among the Seven Heroes of the Lu Family, apart from these three, one of them had devoted himself to cultivating Taoism and one of them had entered Buddhism, while the other two were officials in Yangzhou. They were both Primary Grade Four officials. Being a local Primary Grade Four official was already a true high-ranking official. They were far more popular than being a Primary Grade Four official or even a Secondary Grade Three official in the capital. Although the officials in the capital had always looked down on the officials from other places, the ones who truly wanted to enter the cabinet were mostly Secondary Grade Four officials. It would take at most six years and at least three years to accumulate enough experience and popularity before returning to the capital. Only then could they be considered as the true pillars of the dynasty. Originally, with Lu Baijie's talent, he could have become the backbone of the Lu Family, second only to the head of the family, Lu Daolin. However, the head of the family was still his elder brother, Lu Daolin, so Lu Xuanlang could only complain.
After entering the pavilion, Hsu Fengnian gave a junior's salute and said respectfully, "Fengnian pays his respects to Mr. Tang Xi. Last night, I mistakenly thought that Mr. Tang Xi wanted to stop me from entering the mansion. In a moment of desperation, I spoke disrespectfully. I hope Mr. Tang Xi won't blame me."
Lu Baijie said coldly, "His Royal Highness is too serious. However, I don't have much moral benevolence to sell. Why did Your Highness enter the pavilion? "
Hsu Fengnian said with a smile, "Big Sister has been saying that Mr. Tang Xi is good all these years. Today, I came to ask for a beating from Mr. Tang Xi. Coincidentally, I was a little injured. I thought that Mr. Tang Xi would be gentler."
Lu Baijie was obviously stunned for a moment. She said with a smile, "Your Highness's scoundrel temper is exactly the same as your sister's."
Hsu Fengnian said, "Both of us learned from Xu Xiao."
This was the first time Lu Baijie heard the two words "Xu Xiao" from someone's mouth. In Gangnam-do, no matter how famous people talked, they would at most refer to the barbarian son of Beiliang. There were very few who dared to call him Lame Xu. At most, they would only do so in private situations, not to mention calling out Xu Xiao's name directly. Lu Baijie smiled and said, "How long does Your Highness want to stay? Do you plan to kill a few more Gangnam-do scholars? "
Sword will overflowed in the pavilion.
Blue Bird frowned and was about to step into the pavilion when Hsu Fengnian waved his hand and stopped the daughter of Spear Immortal Wang Xiu. He faced Sword Immortal Tang Xi and said calmly, "It's fine as long as they don't provoke me. I'm not a devil who has nothing better to do than to kill people. It's more like having a full stomach thinking about sex. "
Lu Baijie smiled coldly and said, "Is Your Highness not afraid of causing trouble for the King of Beiliang who is still in the capital?"
Hsu Fengnian shook his head and smiled. "Mr. Tang Xi, you don't know. If I came to Gangnam-do calmly and then left Gangnam-do calmly and let those scholars talk about my elder sister, Xu Xiao would really be angry. Whether it's killing Liu Liting or scholars, the memorials from Jiangnan are flying to the capital like snowflakes. Xu Xiao has a headache, but he's actually very happy. When he returns to Beiliang in the future, he might secretly scold me for killing so few. "
Lu Baijie sighed helplessly and said, "Your Highness, your family."
However, there was clearly more sincerity in Sword Immortal Tang Xi's faint smile.
Hsu Fengnian looked at the lake and said, "My elder sister still refuses to return to Beiliang. She says this is her home. What's so good about this home? Mr. Tang Xi, please teach me. "
Unexpectedly, Lu Baijie laughed for no reason and said, "It's not good, it's not good at all. It's a pity that I don't have the final say in this home. Otherwise, I would've told your sister to scram back to Beiliang long ago. Hurry up and scram. Out of sight, out of mind. Otherwise, I won't be able to enjoy myself when I go out to play. "
Hsu Fengnian immediately had a good impression of this Sword Immortal of Yang Zhou. He grinned and had a bit of the feeling of a naughty junior interacting with an enlightened senior.
