Chapter 4, I am also a traveler

He can hardly stand a girl's tears, so he hurriedly comforts her in a gentle voice

He was extremely annoyed, yet still yielded to the "dangerous allure" of the young girl

Only powerful cultivators are the foundation of noble families! Moreover, external clans are ultimately unreliable, and this powerful cultivator must also bear the surname Zhao

Zhao Rong : `` ... ... ''

This girl, she doesn't knock again. Zhao Rong sighed and got up to greet her

Very well, there is no sign of that girl

I find her extremely adorable

Forget it, relying on others and entrusting them with tasks can only be done this way

Is it true that the cross-continental ferry of the ascetic on the mountain can fly? Are there any teleportation portals in this realm, the kind that allows one to zip through in an instant...

She also said that many toads outside want to eat swan meat, but can only get ash, because the young lady pays them no mind. After saying this, she cast him a sidelong glance

Only three girls were seen standing outside the door

The one in the middle is a round-faced girl with twin buns, her hair tied with a pink ribbon. She has a delicate nose and a small mouth, with a slightly pointed chin. Most captivating are her peach blossom eyes, which appear to be intoxicated, exuding a charming allure.

Qian'er saw Zhao Rong coming to greet her, with his hands behind his back, smiling charmingly.

On the night of her wedding, although she claimed she would never pay him any attention again, the very next morning she still came running over to wake him up, either tickling him with her hair or pinching his nose with her little hands, it was simply too much mischief

It is still the quaint and charming house he was reborn into, but since the night she left, he has been living alone for the past three days

The Duke of Jingnan's residence is one of the top noble families in the Great Chu, with a hereditary title that remains unaltered. Moreover, each generation has disciples who enter the immortal sect for cultivation

He wanted to give himself a slap

However, among the recent two generations of the Zhao family, only Zhao Lingfei and her father have excelled in the path of cultivation, while the latter has been missing for many years. Although Zhao Lingfei possesses exceptional talent, she is ultimately a woman

However, this little girl is also one who cannot hold back her emotions; in the next moment, she broke into laughter, quickly covering her mouth, and with a serious expression on her small face, she said: "I forgive you this time, but you must never be harsh with Qian'er again~"

Zhao Lingfei inherited her father's talent for cultivation, and even surpassed it.

Several beams of morning light penetrate through the window, spreading across the front of the bed

Recalling that second brother, who is both resourceful and reliable yet quite cunning, Zhao Rong ground his teeth, uncertain of how many kickbacks he had taken

At the same time, it is quite small, as Wangque Island is larger, and it is merely a medium-sized dynasty located in the southwestern part of Wangque Island

Thinking of that girl, Zhao Rong couldn't help but feel a surge of irritation.

He did not open his eyes immediately, but first perked up his ears to listen

In front of a large crowd, one can freely show you a displeased expression, while you can only endure and swallow your anger; otherwise, you should leave and no longer partake in the hospitality of the Duke of Jingnan's residence

Because whenever Zhao Rong could no longer hold back her anger, she seemed to be able to precisely grasp that moment, suddenly stopping all her actions, her small hands pinching the corners of her dress, her lively peach blossom eyes glistening with tears, lowering her head timidly to steal a glance at him, sniffing, and murmuring:

And during that encounter in the corridor, she merely passed by with an expressionless face and indifferent eyes. He, however, halted his steps, turned around, and called out a few times, hoping to clarify the misunderstanding from the previous night, but she remained oblivious, her steps unwavering, gradually fading away.

A pair of peach blossom eyes narrowed into two crescent moons, and the corners of her lips revealed a pair of white little fangs. It seemed that she noticed Zhao Rong's gaze lingering on her little fangs, so she hurriedly raised her hand to cover her mouth, widening her eyes with an expression that said you didn't see anything just now.

Let alone the so-called Xuanhuang Realm

At the age of fourteen, he entered the inner gate of the Purple Qi Pavilion and was promoted to a disciple in purple robes. At fifteen, he participated in the trial assessment of a certain sacred place for cultivation, and thereafter, he went to that sacred place with the first rank in the southwestern region of a continent

Sitting upright on the bed and contemplating these matters, the door suddenly creaked open as someone pushed it from the outside

The young girl praised her lady to the heavens, declaring her unparalleled on earth... It seems that if he still does not understand how to cherish her, he would truly be the number one blockhead in the world

In recent days, apart from the first day after the wedding when Qian'er meticulously dressed me and took me to pay respects to the matriarch of the family and other elders such as my uncles and aunts, I encountered Zhao Lingfei, who was preparing to leave, in the corridor outside the main hall.

In recent days, he has gained a deeper understanding of his surroundings, while also recalling more memories.

They have not met again at any other time; she seems to be intentionally avoiding him...

Especially among these two generations, Zhao Lingfei's father, Zhao Che, was the direct descendant of the leader of the largest immortal sect, the Ziqi Pavilion, within the surrounding nations.

The original self prepared to head south all the way to the Southern Leisure Continent, a place his mother had once mentioned as his homeland. To this end, he had long entrusted Zhao Lingfei's second brother, Zhao Kuo, with whom he had maintained a good relationship, to help him purchase a cross-continent boat ticket from a mountain cultivator.

In the past few days, he would wake up early to accompany her for morning exercises by the Silver Mirror Lake in the residence, with the maid euphemistically calling it helping him to strengthen his body

Zhao Rong has surrendered

Following her were two charming maids carrying trays in their hands

This is also why, although it was a good opportunity for the new emperor to consolidate the ties of the royal family through marriage, the Zhao family would rather let the new emperor harbor resentment than allow Zhao Lingfei to marry outside the family

He let out a sigh of relief, opened his eyes, and got up

These are all things he heard from that girl Zhao Qian'er

Wuwu, Rong'er is already annoyed with me now, wuwu...

In fact, the original self had the intention of leaving before, and had even packed their luggage, yet for some unknown reason, they kept delaying until Zhao Lingfei returned to the mansion to get married

Wait for a suitable opportunity, then leave immediately. First, follow the original plan to seek my hometown in the Southern Paradise Continent, treating the journey as a trip to enjoy the scenery of this world along the way

The Great Chu Dynasty is vast, somewhat akin to the Han Dynasty of one's own world

As he thought this, he suddenly began to understand his former self a bit more. Now that he has more or less figured out the situation, it is best to pack up his belongings, prepare some silver, and leave this place early.

External demand relies on imperial grace, while internal demand is nurtured by scholars

However, for reasons unknown, he later took the initiative to give up the opportunity to inherit the position of the sect leader, embarking on a journey with Zhao Lingfei's mother, who was also a disciple of the Purple Qi Pavilion. Yet, upon their return from the journey, only the pregnant mother Zhao remained.

It is said that there, one can also ride ahead of the dust.

In fact, he is already somewhat aware of his own situation

Such a large bed, and I sleep alone...! ... I must say, it is quite comfortable! What more could I ask for? He muttered.

Zhao Rong woke up by himself this time

Thus, the former Zhao Rong always found her behavior to be improper, however, the current Zhao Rong ... ...

In recent days, he has met many members of the Zhao family, and the matriarch of the household has also paid a visit once. She is currently the pillar of the Zhao residence. Although the elder is still quite robust, she is ultimately aging and it is imperative to quickly determine a successor

However, later Zhao Rong learned that Zhao Lingfei practiced every morning at the pavilion in the center of the lake

The price is certainly not cheap, but he also asked Zhao Kuo to help pawn some of the miscellaneous belongings left by his mother

Old Lady Zhao clearly regards Zhao Lingfei as her successor. The reason for choosing a son-in-law like him, apart from the fact that he and Zhao Lingfei have known each other since childhood and have grown up together under the watchful eyes of the family, is also due to their deep understanding of each other.

The Great Chu, under the reign of the former emperor, established Confucianism as the national philosophy, discarding the Legalist school that had been followed for a century. Today, Confucian rituals and teachings have gradually taken root in people's hearts, with noble families emphasizing the etiquette that women should smile without showing their teeth and walk without swaying their skirts

He did not feel embarrassed either, retracting his hand that had been raised halfway, and with a carefree smile, he turned his back and left. This is also good, allowing himself to sever the inappropriate thoughts as soon as possible

Alas, the family structure is not strong; soft rice is not that easy to enjoy

The primary reason is perhaps that I am a powerless and ineffectual scholar, easily subdued by Zhao Lingfei

How can the Duke of Jingnan's vast estate and immense power be preserved?

The steward and servants passing by cast furtive glances, their expressions revealing surprise.
