"Why are you wearing boots? Aren't they hot?" Lu Sheng said casually. "Actually, your legs are the most beautiful thing."
Chen Yunxi was stunned, lowered her head slightly, and her cheeks turned red.
"Don't you like boots? Then I will expose my legs from now on... I will only show them to you..."
Lu Sheng just said it casually, but he didn't expect...
The atmosphere between the two of them was a little weird for a while, and neither of them spoke anymore, but just walked slowly on the grass.
Lu Sheng was in a daze for a moment.
It’s been half a year.
During the six months of recuperation, he did not encounter anything related to ghosts and ghosts, nor did he hear any news related to Duanmu Wan and Yan Kai. It seemed that everything he encountered before was just an illusion, and everything had returned to normal.
Come to a calm and indifferent daily life.
If it weren't for the inner energy that was constantly circulating and growing in his body, and if he hadn't been able to call up the dark blue modifier to check at any time, maybe he would really think that he was living in a peaceful world without any ghosts.
"Brother Lu..." Chen Yunxi suddenly called him in a low voice, interrupting Lu Sheng's train of thought.
"What's wrong?" Lu Sheng stopped.
Chen Yunxi lowered her head, her cheeks flushed, and whispered: "My father... wants to invite you to my house to have a casual meal together."
Lu Sheng was stunned for a moment. This was considered a meeting with his parents? But he and Chen Yunxi were not yet a couple. Isn't this a little too fast?
"Brother Lu, don't you want to?" Seeing that Lu Sheng didn't reply, Chen Yunxi had a hint of disappointment on her face, "It's just a casual meal. Dad, he just wants to see what kind of person you are."
Lu Sheng was speechless when he saw this. He also had some affection for Chen Yunxi, but it hadn't reached that point yet, and it suddenly developed so fast that he was caught off guard.
After pondering for a moment, he still said: "The students also want to see what kind of person Mr. Chen, who is rich and wealthy, is like."
When Chen Yunxi heard this, she immediately smiled: "Then you will be disappointed. My father is a bad old man. He likes to keep a straight face, but secretly he is an old man!"
Lu Sheng laughed. But there was always an unreal feeling, or in other words, a feeling of being out of place.
Next, if the other party's family is satisfied, then he should take Chen Yunxi to meet his father and mother-in-law, and then the two families will make an engagement, prepare betrothal gifts, and set a good and auspicious date, and then the marriage will take place.
Of course, if everything goes well, but to be honest, he has no intention of getting married so early.
"The annual examination is coming soon. If I can pass this time, which academy will Brother Lu want to go to? This will affect the direction and height of our career in the future.
I asked someone here to solve last year's test questions. There are five different solutions. If Brother Lu needs it, can Yunxi send someone to deliver it to you?" Chen Yunxi asked in a low voice. "Do more questions and try to figure it out this year.
The examiner’s thoughts are never wrong.”
"I...thank you Yunxi." Lu Sheng hesitated for a moment, but accepted it, but felt a little confused.
If everything goes smoothly like this, if you pass the annual examination, then the government examination, then the Huiyuan examination, and then the imperial examination. If you can pass all these examinations, you can finally become an official. And it won't be
He will be a minor official... and it will be a big success in the future.
but.
So what?
He suddenly remembered the things Duanmu Wan had mentioned to him. If they were all true, what would be the point of him joining the court as an official?
"If you can pass the New Year's Examination, you will gain fame in the city, be considered a scholar, and no longer have to pay miscellaneous taxes. Even if you do nothing in the future, you can rely on outsiders to farm the land and live a prosperous life. This is what many people dream of.
, Brother Lu must have already figured it out." Chen Yunxi whispered.
"Maybe..." Lu Sheng smiled and said no more.
No one knows that he has another identity, and no one knows that he is a master of both internal and external skills, with powerful sword skills that can defeat demons and ghosts. Even a master of martial arts at Tongli level cannot survive ten moves under his hands. Once he breaks out,
It's basically a humanoid tyrannosaurus.
Now, his strength has been continuously improving with the black evil energy growing day and night.
Black Evil Kung Fu and Jade Crane Kung Fu, the two are combined and complement each other. One exercises the physical body, and the other heals and repairs the physical body, forming a perfect cycle.
But at this time, in the eyes of Chen Yunxi, Song Zhenguo and others, he was still just a young man from a wealthy family who came from Jiulian City. Different from other country boys, Lu Sheng did not have that kind of country atmosphere, and his temperament was also
Ordinary people are better. But that's all.
"But, in today's living environment, what's the point even if I take on an official body? If the demonic forces come to the house and chase me, there is still nothing I can do and I can only rely on myself... In this situation
"Come on, is it possible that you really want to take the martial arts test as your father said?" He felt that he was out of tune with the people around him.
Listening to the sound of laughter and drinking coming from the pavilion in the distance, Lu Sheng felt a strange sense of isolation.
"Brother Lu, I heard that the hay plums on Xixiang Street are delicious, and there are many dried fruit shops there. Why don't we go and have a look tomorrow night?" Chen Yunxi suggested in a low voice. "Tomorrow is a big festival. In previous years,
The dragon dance festival here is really lively.”
"Okay..." Lu Sheng was also idle, waiting for news. He asked his servants to go find out about the Red Whale Gang, and then spent money to buy a lot of precious medicinal materials. The little money in his hand would have been long gone.
There's not much left.
Without money, the progress of practicing martial arts and nourishing the body has slowed down. He must find a way to make money as soon as possible.
After walking around with Chen Yunxi for a while, the girl kept talking about the interesting things she encountered in the college and talked about other topics they played with. She seemed to be in a good mood.
Lu Sheng walked a few more steps with her, and then the two of them walked back slowly. A group of people drank a few more drinks in the pavilion, then left one after another and went home.
After bidding farewell to Chen Yunxi and Song Zhenguo's group, Lu Sheng slowly walked back on the street.
When crossing the moat, several mountain people carrying baskets were talking as they entered the city.
"Is the Songbai River closed soon?"
"About this time, my fishing net is ready at home. I will wait for the fishing ban to pass and go get a good catch." An old farmer said with a smile.
"If the tide doesn't rise, the harvest should be good this year. After all, the fishing ban is so long."
"That's right."
The mountain people waddled into the city carrying mountain vegetables.
Lu Sheng listened and also smiled.
"Compared to Jiulian City, there is so much peace here..." he sighed with emotion.
Quickly returning to his residence, Lu Sheng currently lives in a small house near the city gate. There is a wine shop under the double-story building. The second floor above is his Lu family's property. There are three rooms in total.
The houses of each household were all opened up and became one household.
For the sake of convenience, Lu Sheng did not cook at home. He directly made a reservation to eat at a restaurant next to the wine shop and went there at a fixed time every day.
After eating, he went back to rest. He did not practice internal qi, but took some blood-qi nourishing ointment and went to bed early.
Early the next morning, he called a carriage and went straight to Xixiang Street.
Sitting in the carriage, Lu Sheng still felt a little sleepy. Thinking that his body might be weak, he reached out to touch the waist bag he carried with him.
After a few searches in his waist bag, he took out a red pill and was about to take it when he suddenly felt something was wrong with him.
After carefully checking up and down, he suddenly dug into his sleeve and took out a small piece of light yellow paper.
The note was rolled into a tube and stuck to the inner wall of the sleeve very discreetly. It was only when he touched his waist bag back that he felt something was wrong.
"Huh?"
Lu Sheng took off the note and slowly unfolded it.
A few paragraphs were written concisely and clearly on the paper: 'Young Master, you can rest assured. The Juan Mansion has encountered a catastrophe in trying to control a terrifying ghost, and its power has been destroyed. There is no time to take care of the small grudges with the Young Master. - Wan.'
Lu Sheng had no expression on his face, rerolled the paper and put it into his waist bag.
"It turns out Duanmuwan has been paying attention to me..."
"Juanren Mansion has always been the enemy I was worried about. A powerful force that can control demons and ghosts. With my current level, I absolutely cannot fight against it. I didn't expect it to be destroyed at the word..." Lu Sheng once again felt that the world was too big.
It's dangerous.
After putting the paper away and waiting for a while, the carriage slowly stopped in front of the Xunyang Building where he had made an appointment with Song Zhenguo, Chen Yunxi and others.
When Lu Sheng got out of the car, he saw the entrance of Xunyang Tower, crowded with people coming in and out.
The red Xunyang Tower, which is twelve stories high and looks like a stupa, now has every floor below the tenth floor crowded with people watching the dragon dance.
The hawkers took the opportunity to sell their goods and the cries were chaotic and endless.
Lu Sheng squeezed through the crowd and entered the building first. Along the way to the tenth floor, there were gradually fewer people and it was no longer crowded.
"But Mr. Lu?" As soon as he reached the tenth floor, a maid came to ask.
"This way, this way Brother Lu!" Song Zhenguo's group of people were already waving in this direction.
Chen Yunxi was also there. She changed into a cute green close-fitting dress, which perfectly highlighted the girl's beautiful figure. Her long hair was let down smoothly, and was only slightly tied at the end with a green ribbon.
Lu Sheng walked over with a smile.
"Thank you so much for getting me such good layers!"
Song Zhenguo waved his hands repeatedly: "This is because we are taking advantage of you. Yunxi found some connections and made a special trip to host a banquet for you, Mr. Lu."
"Yes, yes, if Miss Yunxi hadn't taken action, I'm afraid we would have been able to get to the ninth floor at most. We wouldn't have been able to get to the tenth floor." Another student followed with a smile. This person's surname was Wang.
Ziquan is from Zihua City, and he is also a handsome person who can be compared with Song Zhenguo in appearance. He also has a good relationship with Lu Sheng.
"No way, it's just a coincidence... I happened to meet an acquaintance..." Chen Yunxi was embarrassed and glanced at Lu Sheng with a blushing face.
Lu Sheng sighed in his heart, smiled at Chen Yunxi, and took the initiative to take a seat.
A group of people began to have a lively drinking, chatting and joking, adding a few limericks that they thought were romantic and literary, and the atmosphere became lively.
Lu Sheng was arranged to sit with Chen Yunxi, and there were two other girls, one next to Song Zhenguo, and one next to another college student with a cold face. They all seemed to be in pairs.
Bang!
Huge golden fireworks suddenly exploded outside Xunyang Tower, turning into a huge peony in the night.
"It's begun! It's begun!!" Everyone cheered, got up and rushed to the edge of the building to watch.
