Chapter 115: The Scenery Comes Home
His eyes darkened, and Xia Yu suddenly felt a sense of loss in his heart. Can she say that she was really expecting him to show up and save herself? However, Luo Qianli said that he was not there......
Luo Qianli, who was in front of her, saw her pale face, full of loss, and couldn't help but think of Xia Yu's refusal to worship herself as a teacher several times. So, taking advantage of her injury this time, she fanned the flames and said, "Xia Yu, what's so good about this Zhengyuan Palace?" And although Mo Bing promised to accept you as an apprentice, he didn't care about your life or death, or you should go with me! I will teach you the supreme exercises and make your strength grow by leaps and bounds! β
Luo Qianli said with a smile on the corner of his mouth full of anticipation, but as soon as the words fell, he saw Xia Yu frowning unhappily.
"You're so noisy!"
After Xia Yu finished speaking, Luo Qianli's whole face turned green.
At this time, if it weren't for Xia Yu's serious injury, he would definitely throw her out of his arms.
Murong Tian, who was standing in the crowd, looked indifferent and did not speak, but his deep eyes kept looking at Xia Yu deeply.
At this time, a tutor led by the Academy of All Souls took the initiative to stand up and said with relief:
"Well, it's all in the past! As long as everyone is okay!! Now, the assessment has ended, and a few of you have also found your own summoning sword, and the people of Heaven and Earth Gate have left one after another, since the great master is not in the Zhengyuan Palace, then let's go back to Tiancheng first! β
With a roll of his eyes, Xia Yu faintly felt a little strange.
Because in the words just now, the guru said that the people of the Heaven and Earth Gate have left!
"Immortal Venerable, Liang Ruochen from the Heaven and Earth Gate, are you back?" Xia Yu turned his head and asked Luo Qianli.
"What does it matter to me if she doesn't come back?" Regarding Xia Yu's attitude of refusing to worship himself as a teacher, Luo Qianli has always been unhappy.
However, it is strange to say. Coming out of the Ten Thousand Swords Cave, Liang Ruochen left one step ahead of everyone. Although, it is very likely that she went to the back mountain to look for the missing Fire Phoenix, but the Fire Phoenix was killed, and such a big thing happened, even if Liang Ruochen was still kept in the dark, how could the people of Tiandimen leave lightly?
The abominable gate of heaven and earth. That Liang Ruochen has always regarded himself as a thorn in his side. Killed her a few times to no avail. But she didn't want to almost die because of that fire phoenix, and her eyes darkened. Xia Yu secretly swore that one day he would destroy the 'Gate of Heaven and Earth'!
Bei Ying Ye, Murong Tian, and Senior Brother Lu Yan were all injured, but their injuries were too small compared to Xia Yu.
****
The breeze is gentle. The sun is shining.
When everyone returned to the Academy of All Souls, they gathered in a clean courtyard. Talking about the matter of the fire phoenix, I can't help but have lingering palpitations. However, the 74 squad, which seems to be the weakest in this assessment, is the group that has collected the most jade medals. Such a result was something that no one expected.
And. Among the five people who were able to enter the sword cave to find the summoning sword this time, there were two of the weakest squads.
"Take care of your injuries, I'm waiting for you to return in the Zhengyuan Palace." The corners of the mouth are lightly raised. After explaining some things, Lu Yan clenched his fists. Then his body turned around and flew away as a streamer.
"It seems that without my help, you will have the opportunity to talk to the Great Master to find a cure for your disease!"
With an eyebrow raised, Xia Yu sat at the stone table in the courtyard, and turned his head to look at the Northern Night, which was always silent.
The North Night smiled and didn't answer. He knew that at the beginning, the Great Master personally promised that anyone who could win in the final assessment would have the opportunity to stay in the Zhengyuan Palace. Since he was a child, his health was not good, and every time he didn't say two words, he would cough in pain in his heart and lungs, and he had always longed to be like other cultivators, and he continued to improve through his own efforts.
Therefore, when he knew that he would have the opportunity to go to the Zhengyuan Palace, he should be happy. After all, in that green place, I still have the opportunity to accompany her to watch the color of the mountains and rivers and enjoy the sunset......
"Summer Rainβ"
With an excited call, I saw that the door of the small courtyard was pushed open, and Shui Lan rushed over with a food box. However, when she found out that there was not only Xia Yu in the courtyard, but also the Northern Dark Night and the crown prince Murong Tian, her face instantly turned red.
With his head down, he stepped forward slowly, and placed the food box in his hand in front of the stone table where Xia Yu was sitting.
"Xia Yu, Li Xing and I knew that you were injured, so we stewed a pheasant to make up for you."
"You ...... with Li Xing" His eyes narrowed slightly, Xia Yu smiled evilly, and deliberately thought about Shui Lan's words crookedly. Before the words fell, the water blue looked even more shy.
From entering the Zhengyuan Hall to the assessment of the back mountain, Li Xing has been fighting side by side with himself. Although his strength has only just entered the second heaven, he is never afraid to back down in the face of danger and taking care of his companions. For this, Xia Yu still admires him very much.
However, Xia Yu never thought that Li Xing would stew soup for himself? Or with Aqua Blue?! Hehe......
Shui Lan lowered her head, no longer paying attention to Xia Yu's greetings, and immediately took out three bowls from the food box and took the soup respectively. One bowl was given to Xia Yu, and one bowl was given to the Northern Night, but when the last bowl was held, his eyes were faintly looking towards Xia Yu.
"Don't worry, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is very good."
The corners of his mouth lifted slightly, and since they returned to the Ten Thousand Souls Academy, Murong Tian had been keeping a cold face and not speaking. In the entire Tiancheng, Prince Murong tends to be ruthless, and it is normal for Shui Lan to be afraid of him.
His eyes were raised, and after Xia Yu's encouragement, Shui Lan finally stepped forward and brought the last bowl of soup to Murong Tian.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince...... Please...... Please drink soup. The voice was cowardly, and the head was lowered unconsciously.
Murong tilted his head, his deep eyes staring at this girl who was a little afraid of him, as if he saw a familiar shadow on her.
"Thank you."
The figure was stunned, and when he heard Murong Tian's 'thank you', Shui Landuantang's hand couldn't help but tremble. Then, when Murong Tian took over the bowl of soup, he quickly turned to Xia Yu's side and said in disbelief:
"Xia Yu, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, he just said thank you to me?!"
"......" shook his head slightly, and Xia Yu couldn't help laughing. That smile, although pale and weak, carried the delicate of a girl, this moment...... It touched the hearts of both men.
Murong Qian looked at Xia Yu, the cold young heart has always had his own pride and indifference. In the emperor's house, he couldn't help himself with many things. I don't know when. The isolated heart began to yearn for a smile as bright as the sun......
"Whoever receives the summoned sword will stay in the Zhengyuan Hall and have the opportunity to become a disciple of the Great Master, which is not only the glory of the Ten Thousand Souls Academy, but also the glory of our Heavenly Inheritance. Of course, everyone was very tired from this assessment, so the tutors also decided to let the students go home for a few days to rest before holding a celebration! "Slow down. Put down the chicken soup that night in your hand. Murong muttered.
"Really? Ha ha!! Shui Lan looked excited, and immediately turned to Xia Yu happily and said, "Xia Yu, our group won the first place." You have found the sword of summoning again, and now you are home, and you must be beautiful! β
Home is a very warm term. From the assessment in the back mountain to what happened in the Ten Thousand Swords Cave, Xia Yu was like walking in hell. Came out for so long. I really miss Lu Qiao and Aunt Mei.
Xia Yu used to be regarded as a waste without cultivation ability, but now this kind of thing happened. It's sure to be impressive. However, when everyone was stunned, they heard Xia Yu say lightly:
"I'm going home, but I'm not going back to Xihou Mansion!"
The next afternoon. All the people of All Souls College will leave the school and return home. Before Xia Yu walked out of the gate of the academy, he saw Lu Qiao waiting for him outside.
After saying goodbye to the people around them, Xia Yu and Lu Qiao got into the carriage home.
"Miss...... I heard that the young lady has gone to the legendary Ten Thousand Swords Cave. I also found the summoning sword, and Madame and I were worried! Now he is wounded. must have suffered a lot...... "As soon as he got into the carriage, Lu Qiao took Xia Yu's hand, and said with distressed eyes, before the words fell, he was going to check on Xia Yu's body to see what was injured and touched.
"Okay, I'm just coming back, why are you crying again?" Xia Yu leaned on the rickety carriage and poured out his breath, and then asked about the recent situation of Xihoufu and Aunt Mei.
"Miss, madam, she's fine, it's just that in the days after you left, Master Hou found some excuses to go to our courtyard when he was fine. In fact, Lu Qiao could see that Master Hou wanted to reconcile with his wife...... Just ......"
"It's just that my aunt doesn't want to do it now, right?"
"Yes, Madame may be afraid that accepting Hou Ye again will attract the jealousy of Madame Bixue! So these days I have been avoiding Master Hou, for this reason, Lu Qiao didn't wait for Miss to come back, so he took the initiative to take Madame to the house he bought before! β
Xia Yu nodded, and the corners of his mouth unconsciously raised a light smile. Aunt Mei suffered so much grievance for that summer, she was already dead, it is not easy for her to live to this day, and now she finally forgets the past, not to mention that Aunt Mei is afraid of that man in her heart, even Xia Yu will never let him hurt Aunt Mei again!
"I didn't want to go back to the Xihou Mansion in the first place, but now you and your aunt are out! Then we'll go and live our own lives. β
"Miss...... However, there is one thing that Lu Qiao did not tell you. The thin lips were pursed, and the face was empty, which made Xia Yu interested, what could make Lu Qiao so difficult.
"What's the matter, you can tell me."
"Doom...... That's right, before the slave maid and his wife moved to the house, the affairs over there were always taken care of by a brother and sister in my hometown...... So, can you ask the young lady to agree so that they can continue to stay? β
Lu Qiao said cautiously, for fear that he would upset Xia Yu because of the concealment of this matter. After all, the house was bought by Xia Yu for money, but it was he who left people behind without authorization.
"That's it?" His eyebrows furrowed, and a sense of solemnity immediately flashed in his eyes, and Lu Qiao looked at Xia Yu's sudden face, and couldn't help but be a little anxious.
"Miss, don't worry, that pair of brothers and sisters are very good, especially Zhou Gongzi, he is smart and meticulous, these days not only takes care of our house in an orderly manner, but even his wife takes him seriously." Lu Qiao explained anxiously, for fear that Xia Yu would not agree to leave people behind.
"If you think it's good, then stay! Anyway, such a big house needs someone to take care of it. β
Xia Yu smiled at her, anyway, she wouldn't have to wait long before she went to the Zhengyuan Palace, and those things that were beyond her ability, she couldn't do them, it was better to find someone who made them feel satisfied, replace herself, and take care of them!
It's just that Lu Qiao has always been gentle and kind, and Xia Yu doesn't want anyone to take advantage of this and deceive this simple girl.
"Thank you, Miss! Lu Qiao knew that the young lady was coming back today, so when she came, she had already told the Zhou family brothers and sisters, saying that the meals they had prepared would be waiting for us to go back......"
"Green Warp!" Xia Yu smiled lightly and suddenly interrupted her words: "I haven't been gone for a few days, why are you all focused on that pair of Zhou family brothers and sisters?" I've been a childhood sweetheart since I was a child, and I grew up together, can't you care more about me? β
Lu Qiao was stunned for a moment, and then a small face turned red instantly, as if he felt a little poked in Xia Yu's ridicule, "Miss...... I just want to tell you about it, but I don't have any other thoughts. β
Xia Yu chuckled, no longer joking about Er Luqiao, she just didn't want this girl to be a. Door. Mind, only know to think about others.
After all, in this world, people's hearts are unpredictable, and not every good person will have a good reward!
However, as long as the pair of Zhou brothers and sisters that Lu Qiao said dared to bully Lu Qiao and Aunt Mei for half a point, then Xia Yu promised that even if she spent her whole life, she would make the pair of brothers and sisters pay a painful price.
said to be a master and servant, but the two have been dependent on each other since childhood, but they are more like sisters. There was talk and laughter all the way, and the carriage drove ten miles outside the city, south of the northwest.
It didn't take long for him to finally stop in a courtyard, and Lu Qiao looked happy, and was about to lift the curtain to let his young lady go down first, but he didn't want to take a step ahead of her with one hand and lift the curtain.
"Brother Zhou!" A little face instantly turned red, and Lu Qiao hurriedly got out of the way and invited Xia Yu out.
"Miss, he's the guy I told you on the road."
"Zhou Wentao has seen Miss!" Eyebrows frowned, a warm male voice sounded outside the carriage, Xia Yu bent down and walked out of the carriage, and when he looked up, he saw a man who looked weak and bookish, dressed in a simple green shirt, with a rustic atmosphere, he didn't look like a disciple of a big family, but those eyes were clear.
He stood in the carriage, with a smile on his lips, and greeted the mistress of the manor with neither humility nor arrogance. He did not kneel and kowtow, nor did he bend down to salute.
With a light jump, Xia Yu jumped out of the carriage, and when Zhou Wentao saw this so-called heroine clearly, a stunning look flashed in his eyes. Everyone in the world knows that Xia Yu, the daughter of Xihou Mansion, is an out-and-out waste of cultivation, her qualifications are mediocre, and her appearance is not good, but she doesn't want to be brilliant one day, so eye-catching.
