Chu Feng glanced at the Cave Heaven Magic Formation that was once again hidden in front of him, and couldn't help but reveal a smile in his eyes.
Without any further delay, the escape light lit up and flew away in the direction of the landing.
…
"Hey, it's so lively!"
As soon as I returned to Bianjing City and landed in a corner of the market, I heard Xiao Zi's exclamation in my ears.
"It's almost the Spring Festival, so of course it's lively." Chu Feng looked at the bustling people in the street and replied with a smile.
"Are we going to celebrate the festival again?" Xiao Zi seemed extremely excited and begged,
"Master, look there are a lot of fun things there, let's not go back in a hurry, okay?"
As he said that, before Chu Feng could agree, his whole body flashed with brilliance, and he grew up in an instant, transforming into the appearance of a three or four year old girl. In this way, he was just like an ordinary human child, and there was no need to arouse suspicion.
"You..."
Chu Feng couldn't help but smile and shook his head.
This is all a clever act. The girl he transformed into was dressed in a gorgeous purple dress, with purple hair hanging straight down her waist. Her face was sculpted like an elf who had fallen into the mortal world. She was so cute that it was hard not to attract attention.
However, he did not object. He reached out and took the other person off his shoulders, held him in his arms, and warned:
"Remember not to call me master outside."
"Then what should I shout?"
"Just call me brother..."
"whee……"
Hearing this, I don't know what I thought of. Xiao Zi was so happy that she covered her mouth and snickered.
The market is bustling with people, and there are countless stalls selling New Year's goods. Door gods, Zhong Kui, peach boards, peach charms, etc. are all things that need to be used on New Year's Eve.
Of course, in addition to this, there were many performers, storytellers and writers, which attracted many curious people.
Xiao Zi was naturally dazzled by such a lively scene. While watching, he did not forget to ask questions and chattered non-stop.
"Brother, brother, look, it's that sister."
"Well……"
Hearing Xiao Zi's shout, Chu Feng couldn't help but be stunned. This girl probably liked this title very much, and her voice was loud, as if she was afraid that others wouldn't hear her.
It happened that he looked so cute, and everyone who passed by him was unconsciously attracted to him. Hearing his sweet voice, he almost walked towards her at the same time.
In front of a jewelry stall not far ahead, two figures were standing. If they weren't Yun Huan'er's master and servant, who could they be?
"They came out too."
Chu Feng was a little surprised. It seemed that he hadn't seen him for a while. Now that he had met him, he just happened to go over and say hello.
Thinking of this, he immediately hugged Xiao Zi and walked forward.
"Hey, this person really dares to go there, that's Miss Yun Huan'er from Yunhuan Pavilion!"
Obviously, people nearby knew someone, and they immediately exclaimed in surprise. After all, Yun Huan'er was one of the famous brothel courtesans in Bianjing City, and ordinary people didn't even have the chance to know her.
"Who did I know? It turned out to be Pavilion Master Yun. As expected, he is as beautiful as a fairy! However, Pavilion Master Yun usually brings his servants to protect him when he comes out. Why is there only one maid today?"
"You don't know something about this." Someone chuckled,
"Pavilion Master Yun is favored by the immortals and has taught him immortal magic for a long time. Who dares to risk offending him?"
"Brother, are you talking about Master Feiyun?"
"Of course." Having said this, the man couldn't help but reveal a hint of admiration.
"I heard that Master Feiyun lives in the east of the city. How great would it be if I could be lucky enough to become my disciple?"
"..."
Regardless of the comments from the crowd behind him, Chu Feng had already carried Xiao Zi to Yun Huan'er.
"Master... Young Master, it's you!"
Yun Huan'er noticed his arrival, with undisguised joy in her eyes. However, when she saw Xiao Zi in his arms, she was stunned.
"This is my new sister, I call her Xiaozi."
"Hello, sister Huan'er."
"Ah...oh, hello, sister Xiaozi."
Hearing that it was just her sister, Yun Huan'er felt inexplicably relieved. At this moment, she looked at the other party carefully.
I have to say that Xiao Zi is indeed invincible in appearance, especially her purple hair, which exudes a hint of nobility and mystery. Anyone who sees her will unconsciously fall in love with her.
Putting away his thoughts, he asked inadvertently,
"What have you been busy with young master during this time? Why don't you come to Yunhuan Pavilion as a guest?"
"Idle clouds and wild cranes, it's nothing important." Chu Feng smiled and said again,
"Besides, Chu has a special status. Is there something wrong with him always running to you?"
"What the young master said is absolutely true. I was born in a brothel after all..." It was obvious that Yun Huan'er had something serious on her mind. She immediately thought of something else and her expression became depressed involuntarily.
Chu Feng couldn't help but be stunned, and then he realized that there was indeed some ambiguity in his previous answer. Yun Huan'er grew up in a brothel, so she was naturally extremely sensitive to this.
"You girl, what are you thinking about? I'm talking about the current situation in Beijing, and nothing else." After a pause, he continued,
"Now in Bianjing City, especially among the upper class, there are probably many people who are secretly watching my jokes."
"I have also heard about this. It seems that the officials are ignoring the young master, but is it true?" After hearing this, Yun Huan'er no longer dared to think about it, but asked with extreme concern.
"Don't you also think that I am Zhao Ji's favorite?"
"Of course not." Yun Huan'er shook her head hastily,
"What kind of person is the young master, and is he the kind of person who can be compared to someone who is lucky enough to advance?"
"So, you have nothing to worry about."
"I..." Yun Huan'er suddenly hesitated to speak, but in the end, she still didn't say what was in her heart. After a pause, the topic suddenly changed,
"Young Master, if you have some free time today, how about going shopping with Huan'er?"
"There is nothing you can't do."
Chu Feng nodded. He originally wanted to hang out with Xiao Zi, but now that Yun Huan'er is added to the mix, it doesn't make any difference.
No, it still has some influence. Originally, Xiao Zi alone was enough to attract attention, but now he is joined by a top oiran who is very famous in Bianjing City.
Well, anyway, wherever I go, people are watching me and making low-pitched comments.
Of course, Chu Feng had a detached mentality and didn't care about this kind of thing at all. On the contrary, Yun Huan'er faintly heard some unusual comments and her cheeks turned red with embarrassment.
"Brother, why do they say that I am the illegitimate daughter of you and Sister Huan'er?"
"Because you and Huan'er are both beautiful, so they make random guesses."
"Is it true, I'm beautiful too?" Xiao Zi obviously had no idea about beauty and ugliness, and asked curiously.
"Of course, Xiao Zi is the most beautiful."
"whee……"
Unlike Chu Feng, who didn't care at all, Yun Huan'er became more and more shy when she heard the other party praising her beauty, and even walked a little unnaturally.
Suddenly, he seemed to have thought of something, and then said:
"Sir, I encountered something recently. Maybe you will be interested in it?"
"Tell me?"
"Half a month ago, I accepted a disciple."
"Accepting a disciple?"
Chu Feng couldn't help but be a little surprised, looking at the other party, waiting for him to continue. Yun Huan'er smiled sweetly, as if mentioning the joy in his disciple's heart, and then said,
"Although my apprentice is young, his talent and qualifications are extremely high. In time, he will definitely make great achievements in the field of piano art."
"Let's learn the piano." Chu Feng suddenly realized that Yun Huan'er's piano skills were among the best in the entire Bianjing city. It was reasonable for someone to become a disciple.
"What is your name?"
"My name is Master Shi, I'm only ten years old." After a pause, he added,
"She, like me, has been trapped in a brothel, but she hasn't made her debut yet."
"is her."
Hearing this name, Chu Feng's originally indifferent expression changed slightly. Master Li appeared at this time and had a master-disciple relationship with Yun Huan'er, which was really surprising.
However, the reason for this is probably because of the flapping of his butterfly wings.
"Does the young master recognize my master?"
Yun Huan'er naturally noticed something strange about him, and couldn't help but feel a little curious in her heart.
"It just sounds like a good name."
Chu Feng smiled and did not admit it. Otherwise, if the other party asked how they met, it would be difficult to answer. Of course, the truth cannot be told, but to a little girl who is only ten years old and still in the period of learning art,
If you pay attention, it's a little weird.
"Speaking of Shishi's name, there are some special anecdotes." Yun Huan'er did not doubt Chu Feng, but explained with a smile,
"When Shishi was young, his father sent his name to Kaibao Temple in order to seek the Buddha's blessing and live a long life. As a result, when the master in the temple rubbed his head, he suddenly burst into tears. That master
He was said to be quite spiritual, so he was named Shishi."
"Open Baobao Temple?" Chu Feng's pupils narrowed and he suddenly asked,
"Which master is he and what is his name?"
"Ah..." Yun Huan'er was stunned for a moment, and she didn't understand why the other party was interested in this. After thinking about it, she replied with some uncertainty,
"I didn't ask specifically, but it seems that I heard Shishi mention that he was an old monk who was in charge of the iron tower in the temple. Moreover, the other party once said that Shishi has an extraordinary destiny and will be destined to be very noble in the future."
"It's really him."
A hint of coldness flashed in Chu Feng's eyes. He had used his spiritual consciousness to explore Kaibao Temple many times in the past, and naturally knew that the person guarding the iron tower was none other than Zhen Wu Yao Monk.
However, I didn't expect that the other party had such a relationship with Master Li. In theory, he was already a registered master and apprentice.
As for what kind of fate is extraordinary? It sounds ridiculous. If fate does not change, it is obvious what Li Shishi will become. Even if he becomes Zhao Ji's lover, he is still a brothel girl. How can he be considered a noble fate?
Even after Jingkang, Li Shishi's whereabouts were unknown, and he either lived in exile or committed suicide by swallowing gold. For a weak woman, the outcome would not be much better.
Therefore, the other party must have some purpose for rubbing Master Li's head and giving him Shishi's name.
"For what purpose?"
Chu Feng couldn't help but ponder secretly, but Yun Huan'er's voice came to his ears again,
"If you are really interested in me, Master, you might as well go back with me now. Today is the time for teaching. She and Mother Li will arrive together at noon."
"That's fine."
Chu Feng thought for a while and then agreed directly. Since there was no answer, he might as well see it with his own eyes, and everything would come to light.
"Then... then young master, just follow me."
Yun Huan'er seemed a little unnatural. The moment she turned around, there was a hint of annoyance in her eyes.
…
This is not Chu Feng’s first visit to Yunhuan Pavilion.
The servants and maids in the house naturally recognized him, and even knew his current name. Therefore, they all looked extremely enthusiastic after meeting him.
On the contrary, Madam Lin, who had no idea what her plans were, looked at him from time to time in her words and deeds, with a hint of unnaturalness in her charming eyes.
"interesting."
Chu Feng was slightly surprised. After thinking for a while, he could probably guess a bit of the other party's thoughts. After thinking about it, he might have heard the discussions inside and outside the court and had doubts about himself.
This is one of them.
What's more important is that since Yun Huan'er became his subordinate, he no longer had any scruples, and his behavior changed completely based on his own will. Those foreign guests who came here with admiration were all rejected, and they no longer received them, even if
Sometimes I attend some gatherings, just to compete with fellow players on their piano skills.
This is not a brothel oiran. I am afraid that a girl from a wealthy family would not have such freedom and comfort in her daily life.
In this way, Yunhuan Pavilion is completely out of business, with basically no income. As the Lin family who raised Yunhuan'er and is waiting to make money from her, it is impossible that she does not care.
"Young master will not be around for many days, and my family Huan'er really misses her so much that she keeps talking about it every day, which makes my mother's ears get calluses. Today is the best, with the master here, the smile on Huan'er's face is...
It’s never been broken.”
"Mom, where can I find it?"
As soon as she entered the living room, she heard Lin's slightly exaggerated description. Yun Huan'er couldn't help but blushing with embarrassment.
"Why, is it possible that what I said is wrong? Who doesn't think about food and drink every day, has no interest in playing the piano, and even scribbles on the paper over and over again..."
"Okay mom, the young master is tired from shopping and a little thirsty. Go and prepare some tea."
In the middle of Lin's words, she was instantly interrupted by the shy Yun Huan'er, who even pushed her out of the door.
"What are you trying to do, girl? If I don't tell you all these things, how can I make him feel distressed?" At this time, Mrs. Lin had already changed her color, and whispered a reproach, and seemed to say something serious,
"Don't blame mom for being troublesome. This man has a very rough mind, so he has to be reminded from time to time. Otherwise, no matter how much you do for him and how deeply you show affection, you won't get much benefit. Mom is someone who has been through this before.
I know a lot more than you do.”
"I know mom is doing it for my own good, don't worry, I know it well." Naturally, she couldn't tell her about her relationship with Chu Feng, so Yun Huan'er could only make a casual remark,
"I still want to accompany the young master, so I won't tell you anymore. By the way, the tea will require the first-grade purple bamboo shoots I just bought a few days ago."
After explaining, Yun Huan'er turned around and walked towards the door, leaving Lin alone, looking at the other person's back with a sigh,
"You obviously have such good looks, but why do you have to hang yourself on a tree? How many men in this world are truly reliable? You will understand when you are old and lose your beauty.
"
"It's a pity that all my years of hard work have ended up in vain. I don't know if this guy named Chu can do it. I heard that he had some dissatisfaction with the officials, and I don't know if it's true or not? However, with his magical abilities, he shouldn't be able to do it."
