Chapter 61 - 61: Ji Xueyan Breaks Her Defense (1)
“Alright!” Ma Ping ‘an agreed with a smile.
By now, it was already dawn. After sending the two of them out of the manor, they returned to the backyard and happened to meet Zheng Fugui, who had woken up early to cultivate. He looked around and asked in confusion,” Cousin just returned?”
“They just left.”
He took out 5000 taels of silver and handed it over.
“So many?”
“I’ll give it to Aunt for safekeeping. I’ll leave it to you when you get married. If you dare to keep it with you, I’ll beat you up if I find out.”
Zheng Fugui was dejected. His expression immediately darkened. He didn’t even have the mood to practice his boxing. He said that and went home.
Zhang Ronghua ignored him. After washing up, he changed into a clean set of black brocade clothes and went to the kitchen. He took out the demon bird and Hell Flame Hound and asked the servants to prepare lunch. As for their demon cores, they had already been put away.
Just as he was about to leave.
Seeing Zhang Qin come over from the backyard with a bitter face, he thought about it and guessed what was going on. He had given him money twice, but his mother had taken it both times. He had no private savings at all. It would be strange if he wasn’t sad.
He pondered for a moment.
This time, he didn’t give much, only 100 taels. His mother probably wouldn’t confiscate this money.
He put away the silver notes.
Zhang Qin sighed, “The sorrow of a middle-aged man!””
He asked again.
“There are guests at home this afternoon?”
Zhang Ronghua told them about inviting Ma Ping ‘an and the others.
“Father can rest assured that you will do things!”
At noon.
Ma Ping ‘an and Lu Zhantang each brought their family members to attend the banquet. They were holding gifts in their hands. It was not important whether they were expensive or not. What was important was their attitude. They could not come empty-handed.
He invited them into the hall.
Zheng Rou received the female guests while Zhang Ronghua chatted with them.
Lunch was very sumptuous. The dishes made by the demon birds and Hell Flame Hounds with profound cultivation skills, even if the chef’s craftsmanship was a little bad, the ingredients were good. The demonic aura had been expelled, and the meat contained rich strength. It was a great tonic.
Before he left.
Each of them was given 20 catties and asked to bring them back to eat.
After saying goodbye to his parents, he returned to the Vermilion Bird Lane.
At this point.
Uncle Shi was tending to the plants in the courtyard. Zhang Ronghua took out some spirit fruits and handed them over. He declined for a while, but seeing that Uncle Shi insisted, he could only accept them helplessly.
He entered the study.
The originally empty room had been filled with books for Uncle Shi to
purchase. There were some books in the huge study room. He took out a book and read it. While cultivating his body, he also polished his righteousness.
Time passed very quickly when one was focused on one thing.
After dinner.
Zhang Ronghua left his home and rushed to the east city.
Some time ago, after killing Lady Bloody Hand, he learned from her that the remaining people of Earth Fiend would arrive in the capital tonight. They would enter the capital from here and meet up at the three big trees.
There was no one around. They had not arrived yet.
With his hands behind his back, he waited patiently.
As time passed, about an hour later, more than a dozen figures climbed over the city wall and stopped at the corner of the wall. They saw a person standing under three big trees. From the back, it looked like a man. They mistakenly thought that Lady Bloody Hand had sent someone to pick them up.
The group of people did not think too much about it. They quickly rushed over and stopped at the big tree.
The leader stepped forward and bowed respectfully.””Greetings, Milord!”
“Is everyone here?”
“A total of sixteen people, all present!”
Zhang Ronghua turned around and narrowed his eyes.”You can go now.”
The Hundred Birds Fanning Phoenix flew out from his hand and turned in the air. Facing their terrified gazes, he cut off their necks.
He grabbed the fan from afar.
Their bodies fell to the ground. They squatted down to search the bodies and got some money. There was nothing else valuable.
“Poor bastard ! ”
He turned around and left. As for the aftermath, the patrolling city guards would naturally deal with it when they arrived.
He wanted to go home, but as he walked, he arrived at the Meditation Lake.
She stood in the pavilion and looked at the calm lake. Under the reflection of the moonlight, the ripples sparkled and flickered with a layer of beautiful luster. It was very beautiful.
He subconsciously took out his jade flute and started blowing.
The relaxed and beautiful flute sound made people feel as if they were there. It surrounded the night and spread to the surroundings.
They were very close to each other, near the Meditation Lake.
Now that it was night, the sound of the flute spread very quickly.
Grand Tutor Manor.
In the backyard, in the boudoir.
The lights in the room were on. A beautiful woman who would make men go crazy and women feel ashamed was sitting on a chair with a manuscript in her hand and reading it seriously.
Suddenly.
Her ears twitched as she heard the sound of the flute coming from outside. Her concentration was broken. She frowned and instinctively looked in the direction of the Calm Lake, muttering to herself, “Why aren’t you sleeping at this hour? Why are you still playing the flute?”
She raised her jade-like hand and released a suction force to close the window. She thought that this would isolate the flute from the outside world, but it still came in. She was just deceiving herself.
“Disturbing the residents!”
He took out two pieces of sponge and stuffed them into his ears. As a result, the sound of the flute disappeared.
He took the manuscript and started reading it again.
This was written by an old master of the Fate Academy. It explained the comprehension and cultivation of Righteousness Qi, as well as combat techniques. It was priceless and profound. Even with her talent, she could not understand it completely. She would need to think for a long time to understand a sentence. Even so, she could not understand the deeper meaning behind it and could only understand the surface.
A few minutes later.
Ji Xueyan was about to go crazy. She threw the manuscript on the table rudely. She was so angry that her almond-shaped eyes were vertical. She pouted and pursed her red and exquisite lips tightly together.
The mental state that he had adjusted with great difficulty over the past few days was broken at this moment.
She stood up from the chair and paced around the boudoir. She had earplugs on, but it was useless. The flute music seemed to have entered her heart.
After a while.
She decided to take a break!
After getting on the bed, she took off her shoes and socks, revealing two flawless, sparkling and translucent feet. Her ten little toes were happily exposed in the air. To those who loved feet, these feet were the most beautiful works of art in the world.
She pulled the blanket over her body and covered her head, as if she thought that this would stop her from thinking about it. She calmed herself down and forced herself to sleep, but the result was the opposite.
Everything that had happened seemed to have happened yesterday as they flashed through his mind.
The more he held it in, the more uncomfortable he felt.
He lifted the blanket, put on his shoes, opened the door, and rushed out. Holding the Golden Light Sword, he began to practice in the backyard.
The song ended.
Zhang Ronghua put away the jade flute, looked in the direction of the Grand Tutor’s Mansion, and turned to walk back to the mansion.
He didn’t know that his flute music had driven Ji Xueyan crazy. She was using the method of practicing her sword to force herself not to think about it.
After an unknown period of time.
When Ji Xueyan stopped, she took out the sponge and the flute music disappeared. She was exhausted and her forehead was covered in bean-sized beads of sweat. Even her dress was wet, as if she had just been fished out of the water.
Her expression was cold, but she had returned to her otherworldly self. She heaved a sigh of relief in her heart..”lt finally stopped!”
