Xiaoqing thought to herself: He wants me back so badly. Could it be, could it be that he wants to do something strange to me again?
Everything that happened after that with Xu Xian was still vivid in her mind: the martial arts competition in the garden, the examination in the examination hall …
Xiaoqing said fiercely in her heart: If he dares to do this again, I will definitely kill him!
Xu Xian waved his hand in front of her eyes, "Qing 'er, what's wrong?
Your face is so red! "
"Nonsense, who's blushing!"
Xiaoqing coughed twice, "Since you're begging me like this, this lady will be merciful and come back to stay for a few days for Elder Sister's sake."
Xu Xian smiled and shook his head, "After talking for so long, it turns out that it has nothing to do with me!
Well, since you've agreed, help me look after that fox. I'm always a little worried in my heart. "
Xiaoqing's expression suddenly changed, and she asked, "You want me to come back to stay because of this?"
"Yes, why else?
Of course, it's also for your Elder Sister. "
Xiaoqing's originally good mood suddenly became gloomy. She shook off Xu Xian's hand and walked back with her sword, "Didn't you already seal her magic power?
I'll go and kill her with a sword, just like how I killed that toad. "
Xu Xian hurriedly stopped her, "It's not the same. To your Elder Sister, she's a special person."
"I don't care!"
Xu Xian hurriedly hugged her, "Why are you suddenly angry?"
As soon as she was in his arms, he smelled a familiar fragrance. Her exquisite and delicate body struggled and twisted in his arms, and her long ponytail jumped lightly, stirring up an unknown mood.
"Alright, I'll be honest. After being separated for so long, I also miss you very much. It won't be long before I have to return to the capital again. During this period of time, it'll be good if we can spend more time together."
Xiaoqing's struggle stopped abruptly, and she raised her head to look straight at Xu Xian. She saw that his face carried a little helpless smile, warm as ever.
"Let me go, who wants to be with someone like you …"
Xu Xian only said, "Let us test the poison!" before she swallowed the rest of her words. His hand was already on her waist, gently caressing it.
Xiaoqing's eyes widened, but her body quickly softened, and her hands that wanted to push him away became powerless.
Xu Xian was secretly amused. She was still so vulnerable to teasing. Suddenly, he felt a sharp pain on his lips.
Xiaoqing noticed the smile in his eyes and flew into a rage out of humiliation. She immediately gathered all her strength and bit down hard. Her sharp teeth pierced through her lips and a faint taste of blood spread between their mouths.
Xu Xian had no intention of giving up. He just stroked her back more gently. Separated by a thin layer of clothing, they could feel each other's temperature.
Although for a moment, a wave of heat rose in his chest, making him want to do something a hundred times more serious than this, he immediately suppressed this thought.
After experiencing so many things, he could no longer simply treat her as his wife's younger sister. But no matter what would happen, it was better to let nature take its course.
Moreover, he didn't deny that he was looking forward to all of this happening.
Following Xu Xian's movements, Xiaoqing loosened her teeth.
She only felt a wave of heat rise from the places he touched, becoming soft. Gradually, her tongue began to clumsily respond to Xu Xian's hot kiss, and her sharp blue eyes gradually blurred.
Xu Xian suddenly felt a wave of dizziness, as if he was drunk. He couldn't help but be puzzled. Was her poison so strong now?
He suddenly understood. Poison entering the mouth and entering the blood were two completely different things.
After their lips separated, Xiaoqing lowered her head and pressed against Xu Xian's chest, panting lightly. Her face was red as if it was burning, and even her neck was dyed with a layer of red. Sensing Xu Xian's strange state, she smiled and said, "Now you know how powerful I am!"
Xu Xian operated his mana to dispel the poison. He licked his lips and pressed against her forehead, saying with a smile, "Qing 'er, you know what this means, right? This isn't a joke, and it's not like the game you played before, and it's definitely not a poison test!"
Xiaoqing only said, "I don't care what you think!"
Then she pushed Xu Xian away and disappeared without a trace. But that bit of anger in her heart had already disappeared without a trace.
Xu Xian smiled and shook his head. This way, he had finally pulled back the good impression he had of her!
For the next few days, the residence was peaceful. Xu Xian calmed down and cultivated every day. Hu Xinyue didn't cause any trouble, and instead, she was very disciplined, which made him gradually feel at ease.
One day, he was meditating when Bai Fu suddenly barged in. "Officer Xu!
Officer Xu! "
Xu Xian opened his eyes. "Bai Fu, what happened?"
"Someone came to challenge us again, saying that they want to make friends through literature!"
"Didn't I tell you to decline all of them?"
Ever since Xu Xian came back, this kind of people never stopped coming. Most of the time, there would be several times a day. Even if they lost, there was no loss, but if they accidentally won, it would be really glorious.
As a result, in the Jiangnan region, there were countless scholars, prodigies, and scholars. As long as they had some talent, they would come to try their skills. In addition, Hangzhou was also considered a tourist attraction in this era. It was really very convenient to visit him while visiting the West Lake.
Bai Fu gasped and said, "But, but Miss Hu has already brought Miss Yun out to welcome them!"
"Really makes people worry." He had a slight premonition that this fox, after a few days of peace, finally began to look for trouble!
…
Hu Xinyue sat cross-legged on the bed. Her expression did not have the usual carefree smile. Instead, her expression was solemn, and sweat gradually appeared on her smooth forehead.
After a while, she opened her eyes. "This guy's jinzhi is really troublesome. The ling power he uses is actually the rarely seen Sun Spiritual Power. But at least one of them has been broken."
In reality, the so-called jinzhi was not something profound. It was just a checkpoint formed by injecting ling power into one's body. If one wanted to use ling power, they had to break through these checkpoints.
If it was normal ling power, one could try to forcefully break through, although there would inevitably be some damage.
But the Sun Spiritual Power that Xu Xian had left in Hu Xinyue's body would ignite the True Fire of the Sun if she forcefully broke through.
If it ignited in her body, even she would not be able to withstand it. So she could only carefully break through it bit by bit, at the same time waiting for the jinzhi to weaken itself.
Hu Xinyue's ears suddenly trembled. She could faintly hear the sound of a zither. She stood up and walked in the direction of the sound.
Following the cobblestone path, the winding path led to a secluded place. In the garden, hundreds of flowers were in full bloom, and bees and butterflies were flying around.
A woman was sitting behind the zither, her slender fingers dancing, plucking at the strings.
The sound of the zither was faint, and in an instant, it was mysterious and unpredictable. White clouds turned into grey dogs, and the world changed into mulberry fields.
The seven strings seemed to contain the boundless universe, and even the dancing bees and butterflies gradually matched the rhythm of the music. Many forest birds flew over from an unknown place, and stopped on both sides, listening quietly.
The only decent listener was actually a cat. At this moment, it was squatting on a stone block, listening to the music as if it was intoxicated.
The sound of the zither suddenly stopped, and Yun Yan raised her head to look at a thicket.
Hu Xinyue pushed aside the willow branches and leaves that were blocking her eyes, and laughed, "I didn't expect you to have such skill in the zither. It can be said that 'skill is close to the Dao'!"
To the people of China, whether it was the zither, chess, calligraphy, or painting, they were all considered a kind of skill. They were not like the Japanese, who often talked about the 'Dao'.
Only an extremely small number of people who pushed a certain skill to the peak could receive the highest evaluation, and that was' skill is close to the Dao '.
Yun Yan smiled gently, "Thank you for your praise, sister, but it's a pity that it's only close to the Dao, and ultimately not the Dao!" Yun Yan had already seen Hu Xinyue, and now that she knew that Hu Xinyue's mana was sealed, she did not have much fear.
Hu Xinyue walked forward, and naturally held Chang Xi in her arms, stroking her. "With your intelligence, it's not impossible for you to enter the Dao."
The two talked for a while, and both felt that the other's style was not vulgar, and they secretly admired each other.
Hu Xinyue suddenly asked, "Isn't it a pity?"
Yun Yan said, "What's a pity?"
"Such skill, such intelligence, is buried in this deserted garden. Even if the sound of the zither is close to the Dao, it can only be played for this cat to hear!
And that person is probably not even as good as this cat. "
Yun Yan was still smiling. "With your knowledge, don't you know how it feels to play the zither for others to hear?" She hugged Chang Xi and said, "Although Miss Chang Xi is a cat now, she knows the art of the zither.
Although that person doesn't know the art of the zither, he understands my feelings, so what's there to pity? "
Hu Xinyue said, "How can a zither master and a courtesan be the same?
Being a courtesan is being controlled by others, and you can't do what you want.
Moreover, aren't you being controlled by others now? "
Yun Yan fiddled with the zither, and pretended to be confused, "Then what do you think, sister?"
"The reason why you're content with your current situation is because you've never experienced a free life, and that's why you've been tamed by that Xu Xian to be so obedient, living such an inhumane life!"
Yun Yan sighed, and imitated Xu Xian to shrug her shoulders, with an expression that said 'I knew it'!
Hu Xinyue suddenly heard a knock on the door, and her eyes lit up. She pulled Yun Yan's hand, "Let's go, follow me to take a look!" She forcefully pulled Yun Yan's hand and walked out.
There were a few young people outside the door. The youngest was 15 or 16 years old, and the oldest was only 23 or 24 years old. All of them were dressed in long gowns, holding folding fans in their hands, and dressed like distinguished scholars.
Bai Fu replied, "My young master is traveling outside and has not returned home yet, so he can't meet you. Please forgive him."
One of the young men, who was 15 or 16 years old, had a round face, and one could tell that he had an extraordinary background from his clothes. Upon hearing this, he said, "Traveling outside? He obviously doesn't want to meet us. Is he afraid of competing with us?"
The eldest young master seemed to be the leader of the group, and he hurriedly glared at him. He cupped his hands at Bai Fu and said, "Since Xu Tanhua is not here, we won't disturb you." No matter what, Xu Xian was a Hanlin Academy, an official with a rank, and could not be easily offended.
"Xu Tanhua is at home, but small fries like you are not qualified to meet him." Another voice suddenly sounded from behind the door. Hu Xinyue pulled Yun Yan to the door.
"What!"
The young men looked up in shock and anger, and were about to reprimand her, but they were stunned when the words came to their mouths. They had never seen such a beautiful woman.
They were all peerless beauties, and each had their own merits.
At this moment, they were even more dazzling.
The beauty of West Lake that they had visited along the way seemed to be overshadowed at this moment.
