Without Yang-attribute inner force, she could only fight it head-on. She could not kill the crows and had no other choice but to flee.
During this long period of time, the Plum Blossom Pavilion would send over all kinds of good things from time to time, such as fragrant powders, dresses and accessories, or all kinds of strange and novel little things.
"I'm going to change and freshen up!" Chen Yunxi turned and dashed to her bedroom.
"Just because you can't, doesn't mean others can't," Shangyang Jiuli said meaningfully. "Next time, it's better not to pick up corpses. Of course, it'd be better if everything was like this. Alright, I'm leaving. Don't forget to pay the yearly tribute. " With a wave of her hand, she turned and picked up the unconscious middle-aged man by the side of the ship. Leaping off the ship, she circled once in the air like a petrel soaring high into the sky before vanishing abruptly.
"What a … big shot …" Her fingers unconsciously stroked the Ruyi scepter, deep in thought.
"A small cauldron of unknown origin that can't be used has temporarily suppressed Ashoka Manor. This is a good deal. " Looking in the direction Shangyang Jiuli had left in, Lu Sheng straightened his collar and strode down the stairs.
Although he had fainted once, as a businessman, how could he not understand the meaning behind Plum Blossom Pavilion's actions?
"No … it's Young Master Lu! Young Master Lu is here!!" the maidservant gasped.
Yu 'er's head drooped even lower. Why can't I find an ordinary husband when I'm smaller and cuter than her?
"Daddy!" Suddenly, Chen Yunxi strode in through the door. Her face was red and she was too shy to lift her head.
Given these reasons, it was only natural that Chen Daozao would behave this way.
…
Lu Sheng sat in the main hall. Chen Daozao sat with him. Beautiful women entered one after another. Musicians came in and started playing music. Fine wine and delicacies were served.
"Chen Weng sure is enjoying himself." Lu Sheng smiled. He picked up a cup of wine and took a sip.
"What nonsense are you talking about?"
The competition was still ongoing. Su Yue 'er was waiting outside the Swallow Hall. As soon as she saw Lu Sheng return, her eyes lit up, and she hurried forward to kneel.
"I'm here to invite Yunxi to the Jinguang Temple for an outing. Coincidentally, the Jinguang Poetry Meet is being held there, so we can join in the fun. I just don't know if Yunxi is willing … "
Although martial arts could change a person's life, it was still too weak compared to some people. This unforeseen event severely impacted everyone's enthusiasm for practicing martial arts.
"What is it? What if you startle the young miss by making a fuss about nothing? Don't you know the rules? "Yu 'er quickly reprimanded.
Time passed slowly.
Chen Yunxi seemed to have dressed up meticulously. She was wearing an emerald green knee-length skirt. There were thin seams on both sides of the skirt. Through the seams, a pair of slender, ivory-like legs could be seen. It was as if two pieces of cloth were hanging from the front and back of the body, only covering the most essential parts.
Lu Sheng was speechless.
"Yes, that's true." Lu Sheng nodded.
The atmosphere in the Swallow Hall was heavy. After Lu Sheng returned to the main seat, Hong Mingzi reluctantly handed out the prizes to the top ten, and the competition was considered over.
Chen Daozao also felt that his words were too explicit, and he felt embarrassed. He wanted to say something to ease the tension.
Chen Yunxi was a little stunned.
"Young miss, the people from the Plum Blossom Pavilion have sent gifts again." At the entrance, a personal servant walked over slowly and whispered to Chen Yunxi.
Looking at Chen Yunxi's tall and slender figure, especially her long legs, which took up almost two-thirds of her body, Chen Daozao felt slightly jealous.
Lu Sheng decided to visit her again. Regardless of whether he succeeded or not, if she was still waiting, he would give her an explanation.
"Don't rush, I still need to observe. If your temperament and physique are not suitable to practice my martial arts, then I will not accept you." Lu Sheng quickly stopped her.
Chen Yunxi's Ruyi Jade fell to the ground. She took a few steps forward and pressed on the servant's shoulder.
Slap.
"Chen Weng, you're too humble. All your energy is focused on business. It's just that you're pursuing something different." Lu Sheng shook his head.
"What is it this time?" Chen Yunxi asked casually.
The two of them stared at each other. For a moment, they didn't know what to say.
The most important thing was his engagement with Chen Yunxi.
Lu Sheng had never been that kind of person.
"After all, it's stuffy for a girl to stay at home all the time. This old man had intended to send her out for some fresh air, and it just so happened that you're here! Haha, hahahaha!! "He laughed dryly.
"This servant doesn't know, but it should be someone important?"
This kind of figure was really ugly. Nowadays, everyone liked petite and cute people, just like her.
"If you like it, you can get all of this at any time," Chen Daozao said with a smile. Chen Daozao smiled. "But we're just ordinary people, and we don't have the talent to practice martial arts. We just have to give up."
Lu Sheng didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Shangyang Jiuli actually treated him like a dead body. Luckily, she came in time this time, and Elder Hei didn't succeed. Otherwise, in his current state, it would be difficult for him to fight Elder Hei.
Lu Sheng continued to recuperate in peace. Every day, he bathed in medicinal herbs and consumed large amounts of rare herbs. His injuries were also improving.
Her black hair fell over her shoulders, and she wore a red jade hairpin. A pair of white pearl earrings swayed slightly, accentuating her beauty.
"It's a coincidence, a coincidence." Chen Daozao smiled. "It's getting late. Nephew, are you going to the poetry meet?"
Chen Family.
"Are you telling the truth?!"
Asking him to stay at Jinguang Temple with Chen Yunxi … Wasn't this hinting at him to do Chen Yunxi outside?
Ever since Young Master Wang was crippled, Chen Yunxi's life had been very awkward.
"May I know why you're here? Yunxi has been depressed recently, and hasn't been eating or drinking. If you have nothing else to do, perhaps you can visit her. "Chen Daozao seemed to be taking the initiative to be friendly.
Some of the items were so precious that even Chen Yunxi's father, Chen Daozao, was impressed. He was full of praise for Lu Sheng, whom he had barely met.
This left Lu Sheng speechless.
What kind of father was this? First, he wanted to give his daughter to someone else as a concubine. Now, he was so impatient that he wanted his daughter to lose her chastity.
"What a coincidence." Lu Sheng naturally knew why Chen Daozao was like this. On one hand, it was because his power was too great, and the pressure he felt was too great. On the other hand, the Chen Family had already offended the Deputy Army Commander's family. Now, it was all thanks to Lu Sheng's power that they would not be retaliated against.
The grand competition that had been interrupted by Black Crow's arrival was now coming to an end. Ever since the sect's upper echelon was injured and Chen Ying was sent for treatment, the atmosphere of the grand competition was no longer as enthusiastic as before. Many people revealed looks of helplessness and sorrow.
Since he could not cultivate, he started to settle the things that he had no time to do in the past.
In the garden, the white plum blossoms bloomed. However, she was absent-minded. Her eyes were unfocused, and no one knew what she was thinking.
"Yu 'er, tell me, what kind of person is Brother Sheng? Why are there so many people coming to my door to give me gifts just for him? "
"It's scented powder. A total of ninety-nine different scented powder colors," the servant girl replied softly. A hint of envy flashed in her eyes.
"Young Miss, Young Miss!" Suddenly, a servant girl rushed in.
In the plum garden, Chen Yunxi was depressed. In her hand was an exquisitely carved jade Ruyi. This was a treasure that her father had specially purchased from a foreign country.
Lu Sheng knew that she must have found out something about him. But he did not mind. As the Sect Master of Crimson Whale Sect, he could not hide his identity forever. There would come a time when the truth would be revealed.
Yu 'er hurriedly chased after him.
"I'm coming, I'm coming! You guys chat. I have an old friend coming over to play chess. I'll make a move first. " Seeing that his daughter had arrived, Chen Daozao hurriedly got up. Without waiting for Lu Sheng's reply, he left as if fleeing.
…
"I'm willing, I'm willing! Of course I'm willing! "Chen Daozao did not wait for him to finish. "Oh, Yunxi. I've been waiting to travel with you for a long time," Chen Daozao said, perhaps feeling that he was being a little too explicit.
Chen Yunxi knew that many people were guessing that she was poor and her figure was not up to snuff. That unknown big shot must have taken a liking to her because of her family's wealth. But she knew that was not the case.
But Chen Yunxi did not know.
Yu 'er stood by her side, her head lowered. Her heart was filled with complicated emotions.
"It's true, it's true! I saw Young Master Lu passing by. His carriage is still parked at the entrance of the manor! "the maidservant replied hurriedly.
Quietly plucking a plum blossom and holding it between her fingers, Chen Yunxi stared at the white plum blossom and gradually sank into her memories. Beside her, Yu 'er gently draped a coat over her shoulders.
Maidservant Yu 'er shook her head slightly, her face full of envy.
"Thank you, Sect Master. I won't let you down!" Su Yue 'er was overjoyed.
"That's good, that's good. It might rain later. Remember to bring an umbrella. The night dew is heavy. This old man remembers that you can stay overnight at Jinguang Temple. You can stay there with Yunxi. It's safer too," Chen Daozao suggested with a smile.
Who would have thought that a girl of Chen Yunxi's figure could find such a good home? It was unbelievable.
Plum Blossom Pavilion's backer was mysterious and unfathomable. But as the richest man in the country, Chen Daozao was well-informed and had a rough idea of the reason for these gifts.
"Alright, I'm here this time to ask you about the matter of Ashoka Manor. But now it looks like there's no need to ask," Shangyang Jiuli said casually. "Also, even Black Crow could see the corpse poison in your body. You'd better deal with it properly."
"I don't know. Maybe he smelled something on you and saw through it. Who knows? To me, as long as I, Shangyang Jiuli, still have the face of the Shangyang Family, everything is fine. "Shangyang Jiuli pinched the little cauldron and suddenly asked," Did you really harm the Officiator? "
"Why would you say that, Milord? Do you think it's possible that my strength is so far from the Officiator's? "Lu Sheng laughed.
