At night, Ouyang Shuo hosted a banquet at Sangu Restaurant to entertain the Song siblings.
Because it was a family banquet, Ouyang Shuo only invited Ying You, Qing 'er, and Sun Xiaoyue to accompany him. Of course, there was also Bing' er, the little troublemaker. The little lass had only been with Song Jia for less than a day, yet she was already calling her elder sister this and that. She wondered what kind of aphrodisiac Song Jia had fed her. When they arrived at the table, she insisted on sitting beside Song Jia. She didn't even want her brother.
At the banquet, Sun Xiaoyue's expression was a bit strange. Only now did she know that Ouyang Shuo actually had a girlfriend. Sun Xiaoyue's abnormality naturally didn't escape Song Jia's eyes. As a woman, she was very sensitive in this aspect. On the other hand, Ouyang Shuo, who was usually a very shrewd person, had somehow been possessed by greed. He had actually invited Sun Xiaoyue to such a banquet. Wasn't this just causing trouble?
After the banquet, Ouyang Shuo arranged for Song Wen to rest in an inn. As for Song Jia, Ouyang Shuo had already instructed Zi Su two days ago to clean up the East Courtyard for Song Jia to live in.
After returning to the Lord's Mansion, Ying You and Qing 'er greeted Ouyang Shuo and returned to their own Qingying Courtyard. Ouyang Shuo instructed Zi Su to bring Bing'er back to her room to freshen up so that she could rest early.
Currently, Zi Su had already taken over Ouyang Shuo's daily duties. She was responsible for telling Bing 'er stories every night. Of course, Zi Su wouldn't tell her fairy tales like Cinderella or Prince Charming. Fortunately, Zi Su was well-educated and reasonable. The little girl was also fascinated by the fairy tales she told her, such as Classic of Mountains and Seas, Investiture of the Gods, and Journey to the West.
After spending so much time with Zi Su, Bing'er had become very dependent on Zi Su. Zi Su took good care of Bing'er. Bing'er regarded her as a substitute for her mother. The relationship between master and servant was very deep.
In the dead of the night, Ouyang Shuo led Song Jia through a long corridor, through a circular courtyard gate, and arrived at the east courtyard. The layout of the east courtyard was similar to that of the main courtyard. The courtyard was very exquisite. Ouyang Shuo didn't recruit maids for Song Jia, but let her pick one herself. Thus, Ban Xia would temporarily serve her today, showing her around the room.
The bright moonlight shone on the courtyard, warm and romantic. Song Jia didn't feel sleepy, so she begged Ouyang Shuo to accompany her to the pavilion in the courtyard to admire the moon. Ban Xia brought tea and fruits for the two, then went back to tidy up the room.
Song Jia leaned on Ouyang Shuo's shoulder, her expression languid. "Blockhead?"
"En?" Ouyang Shuo guessed that Song Jia might have something on her mind.
A gloomy expression appeared on Song Jia's face as she muttered to herself, "Blockhead, I don't want to become your burden."
Indeed, Song Jia had imagined how outstanding Ouyang Shuo would be in the game, but she had never imagined that he would be this outstanding. During the Battle of Muye, she'd personally witnessed Ouyang Shuo leading the army, giving pointers to the world, and how dazzling and resplendent he was.
The people by his side were all outstanding people. Whether it was the quiet and elegant Bai Hua, the graceful and dignified Feng Qiuhuang, or even the charming and adorable Mu Lanyue, they were all lords that ruled over a region. They were Ouyang Shuo's allies, friends, and strong backing. They shared Ouyang Shuo's worries and difficulties. As for herself, she could only stand helplessly at the side, unable to help at all. This caused Song Jia, who had always been competitive, to feel extremely uncomfortable, especially after Ouyang Shuo had prepared so many precious gifts for her.
Ouyang Shuo could understand Song Jia's conflicted feelings. The huge difference between reality and the game caused Song Jia to be at a loss for a moment. In reality, as the young miss of the Song Family Financial Group, Song Jia had the confidence to flirt with Ouyang Shuo. She had the confidence to chase after her own love, and she dared to love and hate.
Unfortunately, an unforeseen event had caused all of this to go up in smoke.
The Song Family Financial Group that had once shaken Lingnan could only struggle at death's door in the game. On the contrary, the ordinary Ouyang Shuo had suddenly become an existence that everyone paid attention to in the game. This huge difference wasn't something that could be adjusted in a short period of time.
Ouyang Shuo hugged Song Jia's shoulder and gently said, "Silly girl, it's not as complicated as you think. Just let nature take its course. Furthermore, didn't you aspire to establish a sect and become a grandmaster? If you can really establish a sect, then it would be a great help to me. "
"The sect can really help you?" Song Jia's eyes flashed with a trace of excitement.
Ouyang Shuo nodded. "Of course. You don't know this, but my personal guard captain is the eldest direct disciple of the territory's dojo master. If martial artists can join the army, they will have a great advantage. Even if they don't join the army, they will have a unique advantage in intelligence gathering, assassination, and counter-assassination. "
"Alright, I'll start recruiting nominal disciples tomorrow." Song Jia had indeed studied the conditions for establishing a sect. Among the four conditions of wealth, companionship, method, and land, the only thing she lacked was 500 registered disciples.
"This is the Song Jia I know!" Ouyang Shuo said with relief.
Song Jia playfully punched Ouyang Shuo. "You only know how to coax me."
The two of them shared their feelings. Basically, it was Ouyang Shuo talking about his experience in the game, how he completed the village building mission, how he established the Shanhai Village, how he dealt with the monster attack, and how he established the Shanhai Alliance.
Song Jia listened with great interest, as if she had experienced the ups and downs of Ouyang Shuo's journey together to fill in the missing part of her memory. The Ouyang Shuo in front of her gradually integrated with the person in her memory, and there was no longer any sense of alienation.
It was late at night, the moon had set, and the crows were crying. Only the intermittent sound of crickets could be heard from the corner of the wall.
Ouyang Shuo told Song Jia to rest early, and he returned to the main courtyard to start his routine training.
…
The next day, Ouyang Shuo brought Song Wen to tour Shanhai County. Compared to the magnificent Shanhai County, Song Wen felt that his Heavenly Frost Town was like a primitive village. It was too shabby.
Song Jia did as she said. She asked the guards to help her and put up notices at the north and west gates to recruit disciples. When establishing a sect, there was no rule that only players could be recruited. Natives could also be recruited.
Song Jia's announcement was written with a lot of gimmicks.
"Do you want to leap onto roofs and vault over walls? Do you want to cross the river on a reed? Do you want to stab your sword? The heroine of a generation, Like a Dream, possesses two absolute arts, the Nine Yin Manual and the Yue Maiden Swordplay. Open to recruit disciples. Limited number of slots. Please sign up as soon as possible. If you are interested, please contact Zisu. "
Song Jia was smart. She used the golden signboard of the Lord's Mansion to recruit disciples.
After putting up the notice, Song Jia did not stay idle. She asked Ouyang Shuo to arrange for the guards to bring her to the outskirts of the county to find a suitable location for the sect.
According to Ouyang Shuo, the sect should be built in the city, so that she would not have to run around. Song Jia, however, did not agree. According to her, any sect without a mountain as its base was a low-class sect.
Ouyang Shuo had no choice but to listen to her.
In the afternoon, Song Wen returned to Heavenly Frost Town. Because Song Jia was still outside, she did not come to send him off. Song Wen could not help but smile bitterly. He had already experienced his sister's stubbornness.
In the evening, when it was almost time for dinner, Song Jia returned.
"How was it? Did you find a suitable place? "Ouyang Shuo asked.
Song Jia shook her head dejectedly. "No, the west side of the territory is mostly plains or forests. Even small hills are rare. Where can I find a suitable mountain?"
Ouyang Shuo nodded. "Tomorrow, I will accompany you to the east side. It is a mountainous area. There should be a suitable place."
"Alright!" Song Jia was full of energy.
While eating, Ying You said with a smile, "Big Brother, shouldn't the east courtyard have a name?"
Ouyang Shuo nodded and looked at Song Jia. "Ying You is right. How about it? Do you want one?"
Song Jia was full of interest. She frowned and said tentatively, "En, let's call it Dreamlike Veranda. How about it?" With that said, she looked at Ouyang Shuo with anticipation.
Ouyang Shuo naturally agreed. "Not bad. The concept is profound."
Ying You smiled. It was rare to see Ouyang Shuo so docile.
"Big Sister Rumeng, come to the tailor's shop tomorrow when you are free. I will make a few sets of clothes for you." Qing 'er launched her clothing attack again.
Song Jia's eyes lit up. She said with a smile, "Great! I have long heard that Little Sister Qing 'er has extraordinary skills. Looking at the beautiful clothes you are wearing, even I feel ashamed of my inferiority. "Song Jia was really envious. Yesterday, Bing 'er had shown her beautiful clothes to Song Jia. Women naturally had no resistance to clothes.
Qing 'er smiled. She was still not familiar with Song Jia. She was not as mischievous as she was in front of Ouyang Shuo.
Ouyang Shuo saw Bing 'er sitting beside Song Jia again. He teased, "Baby, there is still a week before school starts. You can't be mischievous. Look at how wild you have been during this period of time. "
Bing 'er smiled embarrassedly. The little girl was also well aware that she had played too wild this summer. In addition, she did not have summer homework, so she played like crazy.
"I know." Bing 'er nodded obediently. She imitated an adult and sighed. "Ai, Bing' er also has to grow up quickly."
"What does this have to do with growing up?"
"When I grow up, I can be like Big Brother and Big Sister. I don't need to go to school." Bing 'er said confidently.
Ouyang Shuo fainted. This child used to love going to school. He did not expect that after playing wild for a summer, even her heart had become wild. This could not go on.
"You are really mischievous." Ouyang Shuo said helplessly, "From tomorrow onwards, I will hire a teacher for you. When you don't need to go to school, you can follow the teacher to learn Chinese literature."
Bing 'er immediately showed a bitter face. She said timidly, "Big Brother, don't hire a teacher, okay?"
"What do you think?" Ouyang Shuo had no choice but to put on the airs of an elder brother.
The little girl was clever. She knew that her brother was going to get angry. She no longer dared to talk back to her brother. She turned her head and looked at Song Jia. She said pitifully, "Big Sister ~ ~ ~"
Song Jia naturally felt sorry for Bing 'er. She was almost melted by the little girl's cute eyes. However, she could not deprive Ouyang Shuo of his rights as an elder brother. She could only shake her head helplessly, making Bing' er very depressed. (To be continued.)
