Chapter 5: Jingzhe

Originally, Ji Liao jokingly suggested that Jing Zhe take him as a disciple, as he was very curious about Jing Zhe's martial arts skills. Jing Zhe seemed to be tempted, as Ji Liao was indeed a rare talent in martial arts. However, in the end, Jing Zhe declined, and his reason was quite simple: Ji Liao was not suitable.

Yes, Zhuo Qing replied

The manager had no idea that Ji Liao would guess their relationship, so he could only honestly say: "Zhuo Qing is my nephew"

The manager was greatly surprised, as he had thought Ji Liao would be angry. Unexpectedly, Ji Liao suddenly changed his tone and wanted to make Zhuo Qing his attendant. If this were to happen, it would certainly offer a much broader future than being a servant at the Drunken Fragrance Pavilion. However, what qualifications did Zhuo Qing have to catch Ji Liao's eye

Those who go to the first floor to eat may genuinely want to have a meal, while those who go to the second floor are mostly looking to meet people or to be recognized by others, thus there is really no need to separate them with private rooms

Jiliao's fingers tapped on the table, saying: "Extraordinary 'zhuó', 'qīng' of green grass?"

Zhuo Qingdao: "Countryside"

The first floor of Zui Xiang Ge is divided into private rooms, while the second floor does not have any private rooms. This seems to suggest that the ambiance of the second floor is inferior to that of the first floor, but the reality is far from that.

Although it is said that the temperament of the young master before us is quite good, if he were to provoke the other party, there would be no need for Ji Liao to speak; there are plenty of people ready to deal with him

At that time, he felt that Jingzhe might have vaguely guessed his identity, but the original Ji Liao did not seek to confirm it

Although the Beginning of Spring does not possess high martial skills, it is able to hold the position of the foremost among the twenty-four solar terms, which is related to her exceptional medical skills. Most of the individuals among the twenty-four solar terms have been treated by her, especially the Awakening of Insects, for whom she saved a life during the Beginning of Spring. Otherwise, for someone like Awakening of Insects, even if the original methods of the Season of the Lonesome were formidable, it would still be difficult to recruit him into the twenty-four solar terms.

As Jingzhe stated, he is someone who can bury himself in the soil; such a person should not be pressed too hard. When he reaches the mud, even if he is turned over, it will only result in getting oneself dirty.

Jingzhe is indeed a person of frequent change, which is related to his martial arts skills, making him an individual that the original body finds difficult to comprehend. Judging from the memories of the original body, Jingzhe's martial arts skills may even be on par with his own, and it is certainly possible that they surpass those of the current Ji Liao.

The Zui Xiang Ge has a total of three floors, with the first floor being a place accessible to the wealthy. Of course, being wealthy is the minimum requirement to enter the Zui Xiang Ge

However, Zhuo Qing's breathing and walking movements reveal that his martial arts style is very similar to that of a certain individual, which is Jingzhe

Moreover, after tomorrow night, it will be the time for the meeting of the twenty-four solar terms

He had stayed at the Zui Xiang Ge for quite a number of years and had indeed witnessed many events. Therefore, he was initially surprised, but then began to hesitate. However, Zhuo Qing directly said, "Uncle, I am willing." Although Zhuo Qing was just a country boy, he had always dreamed of making a name for himself. His willingness to work as a servant at Zui Xiang Ge was precisely to meet influential figures. It was precisely because of his lowly background that he understood the importance of seizing every opportunity.

Fifteen," the steward said

However, it was a pleasant surprise to discover Zhuo Qing; Ji Liao's purpose for coming to the second floor of the Zui Xiang Pavilion was certainly not for this matter

At the time of Jingzhe, it is said: Those who can soar to the heavens can also bury themselves in the soil

The second level is a place that can only be accessed by those who are wealthy and powerful

The attendant responded quickly, saying: "I am called Zhuo Qing."

He is here not only to have a meal, but also to wait for someone

Ji Liao smiled and said, "Where did you come from"

The entire second floor of the Zui Xiang Ge is very spacious, with the green mountains and white clouds to the north and the surging river to the south, all of which can be captured in one's view

The autumn waters of Jian Lake are greener than blue, and my heart's appreciation fades with the years. Beyond the willows, the orchid boat cannot be grasped in vain; the spring attire is typical, and the wine boat rows to the western bank of Fen. In the affairs of the world, let go for a moment, and with a smile, surrender to the intoxication!

But now the opportunity presents itself, and Ji Liao did not miss the reason for it

Since Zhuo Qing has already agreed, the steward naturally cannot oppose it, otherwise it would offend Ji Liao

The original Ji Liao understood the meaning of Jingzhe, for he was, after all, the young master of the Four Seasons Villa, a naturally privileged young man, and such individuals have always belonged to the heavens

The attendant is the steward's nephew, and he exerted considerable effort to allow his own nephew to enter the Zui Xiang Pavilion. However, his eagerness to showcase himself led him to make such remarks. Most importantly, Ji Liao has only ever visited the third floor, so there are no portraits of him among the guests who frequently come to the second floor. The steward only recognized Ji Liao's identity because he happened to have seen him once.

The attendant let out a sound of "ah," and then a steward hurried over, his forehead covered in cold sweat. He pulled the attendant and quickly knelt down, saying: "Young Master Ji is here for the first time and is not yet familiar with the situation"

Jingzhe once stated that his martial arts have always been passed down through a single lineage.

Ji Liao first asked Zhuo Qing to find a girl who could sing a song

He is clearly not speaking to the person in charge

Is this your first time visiting our Zui Xiang Ge, young master? To the north lies the Four Seasons Mountain, and it is said that the Four Seasons Villa is established deep within the white clouds. To the south is the Xijian River, named so because the first master of the Four Seasons Villa washed his sword here.

The original Ji Liao had a profound memory of Jing Zhe and was very familiar with his martial arts techniques, which allowed the current Ji Liao to quickly realize that Zhuo Qing's skills were inherited from Jing Zhe, even though his martial arts were indeed quite rudimentary

Ji Liao has a ninety percent certainty, and the Awakening of Insects is just around the corner

Because Ji Liao possesses a unique martial art, it is undoubtedly difficult to find a suitable successor. A person's life can be neither long nor short, and Jingzhe may not be willing to expend effort to seek another successor.

A great scholar interpreting the scripture on "Jingzhe" states: The principle has both constancy and change; however, there are those that are constant amidst change and those that change amidst change. In the realm of things, the sparrow transforms into a clam, and the eagle transforms into a dove; this corresponds to the changes in the atmosphere, which is the constancy of change.

When he spoke these words, Ji Liao smiled and said, "I am aware of the scenery you describe, but I simply cannot see it"

As long as Jingzhe is nearby, Ji Liao will have the opportunity to see him. From his reaction, one can naturally discern whether Jingzhe is aware that Ji Liao is the founder of the twenty-four solar terms

Ji Liao would certainly not take on a follower without reason, merely because this Zhuo Qing possesses martial skills. The martial world is vast, and one can encounter skilled individuals everywhere; this is not a remarkable occurrence.

Ji Liao suddenly asked, "What do you think about having him as my attendant?"

Ji Liao Dao: "What is your name"

It has been mentioned before that among the twenty-four solar terms, the beginning of spring is the first; however, the one with the highest martial prowess is not the beginning of spring, but rather the awakening of insects.

Originally, Ji Liao asked, what kind of person is suitable

Ji Liao is qualified to enter the third level, but he is currently sitting on the second level

Moreover, Zhuo Qing's martial arts are indeed quite superficial, so Jingzhe will inevitably not be too far from him

To master the twenty-four solar terms without revealing any flaws, there are two individuals that must be closely observed. Naturally, these are Jingzhe and Lichun

As for the third level, it is said that one can only enter with the approval of the Zui Xiang Ge, and the pleasures one can experience inside are comparable to those of royalty.

A piece titled "Pingle Music" is gracefully played by a pipa girl adorned with light makeup.

How old is your nephew

Ji Liao then asked the steward: "Do you have any familial relationship with each other?"
