Chapter Five, Graceful and Elegant Lady.
My son is good, but your daughter is even more impressive. At such a young age, she has such cultivation. Did she start practicing in the womb? The old man's voice was like a bell, more excited than Chu Hanjian, and his handsome face was filled with a strange brilliance.
A while ago, didn't we celebrate your birthday? How can there be so many birthdays? Cold Lingfeng replied. As he said that, I suddenly remembered that three months ago, I personally cooked three fish and made a rusty sachet to give to him. It made Yunqing say that I had feelings for him, and even the master said that I was infatuated with Cold Lingfeng. It made me so angry that I wanted to die. Isn't it just giving a few fish and embroidering a sachet?
Yun Qing did not leave. The master said that his skills were not yet refined, so he had to stay behind to help with odd jobs. Upon hearing this, Yun Qing let out a miserable cry and collapsed.
Even if we are reluctant, we have to leave. We respectfully kowtowed to the master a few times. Before we finished kowtowing, the master waved his hand and said that these formalities were unnecessary. He went back to his room to sleep without even looking back, seemingly without any attachment to the two of us.
Definitely, definitely. Junior Brother, if you have time, come visit Chu Mansion. We have top-quality wine and good tea for us to enjoy together. I said with a slight smile.
Master, let us do it instead. You can take a break. Cold Lingfeng also came back. We started to work efficiently. The meal was very sumptuous, but I didn't have much appetite, and it seemed that Cold Lingfeng didn't either.
The master said I was too ruthless, beating a handsome young man into looking like a pig's head. It was truly a scene of unparalleled misery. However, the satisfaction of the beating made him want to throw a punch as well.
"No, senior sister, I have something to tell you," Yunqing said shyly, her voice very soft. I frowned and leaned in to listen, but unexpectedly, he suddenly kissed me. Has this guy got some nerve?
Cold Lingfeng, don't be so self-righteous here, otherwise I will kick you off the mountain and let you witness the skills of Senior Sister. I lowered my voice and said fiercely, who came up with the idea to attack him?
How can you, as a woman, give everyone a brocade pouch? Yun Qing shouted at me in frustration.
Don't be upset. When Yunqing's birthday comes, you can give him five silk pouches. And when Master's birthday comes, you can give him ten. Let's see how they react," said Leng Lingfeng cunningly.
Cold Lingfeng said "When heaven intends to punish, it first makes one mad. If one commits a wrong, one can be forgiven. But if one brings misfortune upon oneself, one cannot survive. Knowing that one is dealing with a wolf, why would one willingly offer oneself as prey? Isn't that foolish? What does this guy mean by saying that I am a wolf?"
Indeed, you are an impressive young man, Brother Leng. Your son is outstanding, handsome, and skilled in martial arts," Chu Hanjian exclaimed excitedly, his well-defined face filled with enthusiasm.
Chu Manyun, don't get any ideas from me. I won't be that unlucky man.
The fish is burnt, master. Walking a few steps, I suddenly smelled the burnt smell of the fish and quickly shouted out loud.
Young man, work hard and strive to complete your studies soon, so you can come down the mountain and reunite with us. I stood on my tiptoes and patted Yunqing's shoulder. At ten years old, I was taller than most girls, but standing next to Yunqing, especially with Cold Lingfeng, I still looked short and easily overlooked.
"Are you looking for me just to recite poetry?" I asked, frowning.
Chu Hanjian and Old Man Leng looked at the two of us and smiled meaningfully.
Cold Lingfeng said fortunately Yunqing only kissed him once. If she had kissed him twice, she would probably have vomited blood and died. He had to hurry to find a burial site for her. Cold Lingfeng also gloated and said that in the future, some unlucky man would catch his attention.
The result is that the two of them praised each other and left. The old man, Leng, said that I am a beauty embryo and will definitely become a stunning beauty when I grow up. Chu Hanjian said that Leng Lingfeng is a hero who emerged in his youth and will surely become a dragon among men in the future.
Don't think I don't know the intention behind the gift you gave me. Trying to distance yourselves from each other? Don't even think about it. How dare you turn against your master? My master suddenly spoke in a low voice, his eyes revealing a cunning fox-like gleam. At that moment, I realized how clever my master was. Even Yunqing didn't notice our intentions, but he did.
Today is your birthday? I nudged Lingfeng with my elbow.
I haven't even mastered the basics, and she's already interested in me. What should I do? Yun Qing murmured, unsure if it was because of my acting skills or if Yun Qing was just too naive, actually thinking that I was interested in him.
After a while, it will be Master's birthday. This time we will work even harder. Cold Lingfeng is busy catching fish, while I quickly prepare ten secret weapons.
You still don't understand anything, can you randomly give away a treasure bag? The master blushed with embarrassment.
Being overly attentive when there is no reason to be usually means trouble. Yun Qing also chimed in, saying that three months had passed and his left eye was still somewhat dark.
Man Yun, if you can defeat your father, it proves that you haven't come here in vain for the past five years. If you still lose to me, it means that your skills are not refined enough, and you will have to practice for several more years. Chu Hanjian said. As a result, I won against Chu Hanjian that day, and Lingfeng won against Leng Lao.
You... you... I was so angry that my face turned pale. I can't believe I was kissed by this kid.
Unexpectedly, that night, in addition to Lingfeng, even my master witnessed my fight with Yunqing. My master said that it was inhumane for Yunqing to attack a ten-year-old girl. Yunqing howled that I had taken his first kiss, but who took it from him? Wasn't it him who willingly came to me?
After eating, we returned to our own room early. The master did not say much. I thought he was just talking, but I didn't expect the old man to come later, and then Chu Hanjian came up a while later. It turned out that the master had already made an appointment with them. It seems that the intention to drive the two of us down the mountain is already determined.
She gives gifts to everyone, but it seems that only one person takes the bait. And then she comes over to recite something about "graceful and virtuous ladies" and "gentlemen's good matches," without even bothering to see who it is. "Graceful and virtuous lady"? Is she blind? Yunqing's handsome face turned red as he was teased by Leng Lingfeng.
I and Leng Lingfeng looked at each other, finally managed to clarify our relationship, but unexpectedly, due to Master's interference, we have reached the point of getting married.
你ーー你ーー你找死ーー That night, I beat Yunqing until he was bruised and swollen, lying on the ground unable to move. Leng Lingfeng's face turned pale as he watched, closing his eyes, looking extremely miserable.
Thinking about what happened three months ago, I couldn't help but smile. But if it's not Cold Lingfeng's birthday today, what's the big celebration that's worth Master's hard work?
From now on, no one dares to mention the matter of me giving a brocade pouch to Leng Lingfeng, nor will anyone say that I have any intention towards him. And I also know that a brocade pouch is not something that can be given casually.
Senior Sister often comes," said Lingfeng with a smile as warm as a spring breeze.
In order to avoid my deadly hands in the future, this guy practiced martial arts overnight, chanting words while practicing. "Bronze skin, iron bones, bronze skin, iron bones." If chanting could make a difference, I wouldn't have had to practice so hard for all these years. Fool.
One month later, on Yunqing's birthday, I nervously gave five silk sachets to him in front of my master and Leng Lingfeng.
I and Leng Lingfeng looked at each other, pretending not to hear our master's words, and walked away separately. People are not plants, we have been together for five years, but when it was time to leave, we were unexpectedly reluctant.
I said I would come to see Master once a year. Master said he is not a handsome young man, what's there to see? You should go see Leng Lingfeng. Leng Lao Ye said Leng Mansion is close to Chu Mansion, I can come every day. If you get tired of living in Chu Mansion, you can move to Leng Mansion.
On that day, I looked up to my master with newfound respect.
In the future, Yunqing fell in love with Yunniang. This experience became a major taboo in his life, fearing that Yunniang would find out. He shamelessly recited love poems in front of our door and even kissed me. He threatened us, saying that whoever revealed it would die. But he didn't consider that with his limited skills, who would fear him?
We at Kuangfeng Mountain do not support idlers. The two of you have been living here for free for several years now, it's time to leave," said the master, pointing at me and Leng Lingfeng.
In the middle of the night, Yunqing came to find me. I thought he came to settle accounts with me, but unexpectedly, he stood before me and affectionately recited his sentimental poems. The sweet and cloying voice made my whole body tingle.
"I only have one birthday, why does Yunqing have five?" Cold Lingfeng intentionally shouted, causing Yunqing's face to turn red.
Beauty matches the hero, the two are so compatible, they will marry in the future, as the saying goes, "good things do not go to outsiders' fields." When the master said this, the old man looked me up and down, more and more satisfied, and after a while, he laughed and said that I look good and have good martial arts, just right to match his son.
Yun Qing angrily pointed at Master and Cold Lingfeng, accusing them of being heartless and cold-blooded for not saving a dying person.
Since Senior Sister has taken a liking to me, I can't refuse her command. Tonight, when there is no one around, let's kiss again. This guy blushed and said, then he leaned his mouth towards me.
At night, I laughed so hard with Leng Lingfeng that my stomach hurt.
One year later, Yunqing descended the mountain. After we left, our master came out and secretly watched us leave. His eyes were a little red, and he couldn't sleep all night. He said the mountain was too quiet, and he probably had gotten used to the noise we made when we played the qin and xiao together.
That night, Master personally cooked three chickens, ten fish. Usually, these tasks are done by Cold Lingfeng and me. Seeing Master personally doing it, I felt a bit flattered but also vaguely uneasy.
I stand with my arms crossed, looking at the three men in front of me with different expressions. Will he really kiss her? Does he have the ability to do so?
How can you compare with him? I lowered my head and tugged at my sleeve, pretending to be shy. As soon as I said this, Yunqing's face turned red with embarrassment, while the master suddenly realized and said that this girl is indeed deeply in love, but it's Yunqing who's in love, and he actually misjudged the situation.
The sky is getting dark, we need to hurry down the mountain. Don't disturb me while I'm sleeping," the master said impatiently.
