Gan Qian immediately declined, "How can I accept such a valuable thing? Young master can wear it himself."
Lu Fei placed the sachet in her hand and said, "It's not something valuable, just wear it."
Gan Qian said, "If I don't get bitten by mosquitoes, what will happen to young master?"
Lu Fei turned around and said as he walked, "I'm not afraid of mosquitoes."
Gan Qian thought he was making an excuse. Since Lu Fei said so, she naturally knew it was useless to say anything more. She was afraid that Lu Fei would find another excuse. In fact, Lu Fei was indeed not afraid of mosquitoes. Now that he had the divine technique protecting his body, flies could not get close to him. If they came into contact with his skin, they would be shocked to death.
Lu Fei asked, "Where is your home? I'll send you back."
Gan Qian was hesitant. Lu Fei smiled, "What's wrong? Don't you want to go home? "
Gan Qian sighed, "Even if I go home, I'll still have to marry the provincial governor's son. I don't want to marry him."
Lu Fei said indifferently, "Since ancient times, there hasn't been a woman who doesn't want to marry into a good family. If they can enter the palace, then it can be said that when one person achieves the Dao, even the chickens and dogs can ascend to heaven. Although the provincial governor's family is not comparable to the imperial family, it's still a noble family. Why don't you want to marry him? "
Gan Qian looked at Lu Fei with her beautiful eyes and said, "I don't think it's better to marry into a rich family. At that time, I'll naturally obtain glory and wealth, but I'll also lose my dignity and freedom."
Lu Fei could not help but say, "Since you know so many things, you must have read a lot of books."
Gan Qian said, "I've read a few books, but compared to young master, it's not much."
Lu Fei asked curiously, "How do you know I've read a lot of books?"
Gan Qian said, "Young master's style of speaking is extraordinary. Only those who are well-read would know."
Lu Fei smiled, "I only know a little. I've seen the provincial governor's son before, he's also a lecherous person. Fortunately, you were kidnapped midway, otherwise, I'm afraid you won't have the right to choose for the rest of your life." He paused and said, "May I ask how old you are?"
Gan Qian hesitated and said, "Why do you ask this question, Young Master? I'm twenty-five this year." For someone of Gan Qian's age to be unmarried, she would be gossiped about in ancient times. In serious cases, she might even be betrothed by the government.
Lu Fei was surprised, "It's just that I can't see your age, that's all. Logically speaking, the people who want to propose marriage should have already stepped over the threshold of the girl's family. Why did the Provincial Governor's son only take a fancy to you now?"
Gan Qian said, "There is actually a reason for this. I heard from my mother that when I was young, there was a wandering Daoist who read my fortune. He said that in the future, I would definitely be born into a wealthy family, or even into the palace. Later on, there were people who came to propose marriage, but because of various reasons, there were no more people who came to propose marriage. "
Lu Fei thought to himself. So that's how it is. Could it be that she can only marry Liu Bei? Thinking of this, Lu Fei shook his head and said, "What does Miss Gan plan to do next?"
Gan Qian was vexed, "I also don't know. If I don't go back, my mother will definitely be worried. But if I go back, I will definitely marry the Provincial Governor's son. Sigh." Gan Qian sighed and continued walking with her head down, no longer speaking. Lu Fei thought to himself that if he were to offer to help her now, she would probably make wild guesses and think that he was plotting something. It would be best if he did not say anything.
When the two of them walked out of the forest, the bright moon had just risen from the east. In front of them was a large river. Lu Fei reached out and grabbed Gan Qian's waist. With a leap, they landed on the opposite shore. Gan Qian's heart was thumping. After landing, she said, "Young Master's martial arts are so strong. If you join the army, you will definitely become a general."
Lu Fei laughed and said, "Becoming a general is not that simple. Right now, the Ten Permanent Attendants are in control of the court. If one wants to be an official, one needs to have money. For someone like me, I can only be a soldier who charges into the enemy lines. When the time comes, all the merits will be given to my superiors."
Gan Qian was surprised and said, "There is such a thing." She did not study much and did not know that there was such an unfair thing in the world. However, she felt that it was reasonable and very likely to happen.
Lu Fei said, "You will know in the future … it is already late. Let's find a place to rest."
The two of them walked around the mountain. Lu Fei found an abandoned cave and started a fire inside. He also hunted some game to roast and eat. Lu Fei took off his robe and said to Gan Qian, "It will be cold in the mountains during summer. Cover yourself with this robe."
Gan Qian said, "Then what about you, Young Master?" She then pursed her lips and smiled, "Could it be that Young Master is not afraid of the cold?"
Lu Fei smiled and said, "You guessed right. My internal energy is profound. Neither the cold nor the heat can invade me."
Gan Qian covered Lu Fei's body with his robe and said, "Is your martial arts really so powerful? If so, won't you not need to wear many clothes in the winter? "
Lu Fei said, "As long as your internal energy is trained to a certain level, you will not be afraid of heat or cold. This is because the zhenqi in your body will adjust your body temperature."
Gan Qian said, "It is so magical. If I also knew internal energy, then I would not have to sell so many winter clothes."
Lu Fei laughed involuntarily and said, "You really know how to live your life."
Gan Qian said, "My family was poor since I was young. Most of the time, the clothes I wore were picked up by my mother from outside and then changed. This time, it was the son of the Provincial Governor who proposed marriage. He gave a lot of betrothal gifts. Only then did my family become better. "
Lu Fei nodded and said, "I understand. In any era, there are rich and noble people, or poor and miserable people."
"That's right." After saying this, Gan Qian fell into a deep sleep. She had been in a tense state for the entire day. Now that she relaxed, she immediately fell asleep. Lu Fei sat in front of the cave and cultivated. At noon the next day, Gan Qian woke up and saw that Lu Fei was already roasting meat over the fire.
Lu Fei looked at her and said, "You're awake. Eat something and we will set off. There is a city in front. After we enter, we can wash up and eat something good."
Gan Qian said, "There is no need for that. Young Master saved me from the tiger's den. This little bit of wealth is nothing."
The two of them stayed in separate rooms. Gan Qian washed up and the two of them immediately rested for the night in the inn. The next morning, Gan Qian prepared breakfast and brought it to Lu Fei's room. Lu Fei was sitting cross-legged on the bed cultivating when Gan Qian placed the breakfast on the table.
Lu Fei opened his eyes and said, "Miss Gan, you are up so early."
Gan Qian smiled and said, "I am used to it at home. Am I disturbing Young Master Lu?"
Lu Fei walked down from the bed and said, "Have you eaten? Let us eat together." As he said this, he pulled Gan Qian to the table.
