Looking at the huge Zhou family manor, as well as the guards guarding the door, and the beautiful scenery inside the door, Tao Cui's eyes flashed with deep envy. She also wanted this kind of life, but it was difficult, unless she could marry a noble man, and she couldn't be the kind of nobleman who had no money, she had to be a rich man.

The end of her life is the starting point of Zhou Xia, but Zhou Xia doesn't take all this seriously, how can this not make her envious and jealous.

Tao Cui didn't know that Zhou Xia was thinking about something in a completely different field.

Zhou Xia has been trying to behave well recently, it's best not to go anywhere, stay obediently in her own territory, read books, practice calligraphy, memorize poems, and strive to make a good girl in front of her father.

This is mainly to ask her father for one thing, something that is really difficult to succeed.

Because Zhou Xia heard about Wen Ling's existence.

Wen Ling's stories simply opened her eyes, making her suddenly feel that in addition to academy education, miscellaneous studies, and swordsmanship, there was a broader world, and the power of that heaven and earth was something she couldn't have imagined before.

That is the power that transcends the mundane.

Wen Ling's rise to fame came 32 years ago, when, as the eldest son of King Jing, he was assassinated by the crown prince of Jing, his younger brother Wen Yuan. This caused the gods to be enraged, and they rang the bell of fate for the third time, causing the hourglass to flow downwards and record new charges for the Terrans.

At the same time, the gods also announced to the world that Wen Ling is not an ordinary person, but a god descending from heaven to earth, and his mission is to teach the human race.

Today, Wen Ling has opened a Taoist academy in the royal capital of Jing Kingdom, teaching "Taoism" to his disciples. His special status makes his monastery the most desirable place for the entire human race, and everyone is eager to learn from him.

Zhou Xia didn't know what Taoism was, but it must be something extremely magical. Because Wen Ling is not only the reincarnation of a god, but also has divine power, he once killed more than 20 professional killers by himself, and in front of Wen Ling's divine power, no one has the power to resist.

As long as he imagined the scene of defeating more than 20 killers with the strength of one person, Zhou Xia felt fascinated, what a powerful person he was! She couldn't wait to go to Jing Kingdom to meet Wen Ling.

However, Zhuang Guo is in the east of Ya Country, and Jing Guo is near the Great Wilderness in the west, and the two countries are far away, and her father probably won't allow her to go so far.

So Zhou Xia was grinding hard at his mother's place, and on the other hand, he was currying favor in front of his father, just to get a chance to study in Jingguo.

At the same time, Zhou Xia also did everything possible to collect all the things related to the Taoist Academy and Wen Ling, and concentrated on studying at home every day.

Zhou Xia's father's name is Zhou You, and he still loves his daughter a lot, but he is very insistent on issues of principle. So Zhou Xia also knew that his father would not agree casually.

However, no matter how principled a person is, he can't compete with father's love and water milling.

Zhou Xia has been grinding his parents for almost half a year, and finally, in the autumn of this year, Zhou You finally relented and let Zhou Xia go to Jingguo to study. Of course, the prerequisites are, first, to bring a whole team of guards, and two old mothers to take care of her, and second, to say that if you go to school, you have to study obediently, and everything abides by the rules of the Taoist Academy, if there is a violation of the rules, even if the teacher does not expel her, the old mother and the guards will directly drag her back to Zhuangguo.

Zhou Xia almost knelt on the ground to show her sincerity, and she naturally agreed to these two conditions, and promised her parents that she would become the world's top Taoist and glorify the lintel for the Zhou family.

Although it is not popular in the world for women to learn such difficult and complicated knowledge, Zhou You has no other children after all, Zhou Xia said this, and he was quite pleased.

In this way, Zhou Xia, who finally got permission, packed his luggage and left happily with the guards and his mother.

……

Zhou Xia's exodus was carried out in secret, without notifying anyone, only people within the family knew about it, and this included Zhou Xia's nurse. And how could the nurse be wary of her daughter, so Tao Cui quickly knew about it.

Zhibei City, the Lu family compound.

"Master Lu, I ......"

Tao Cui gave a deep salute, the man she came to see was the number one famous family in Zhibei City, Lu, is the queen's surname, and the Lu family is the uncle of the country. Lu Lun is the queen's own nephew, with money, status and skills, how many girls want to climb the existence.

It's a pity that he can see Zhou Xia, but he can't look down on Tao Cui. Lu Lun also took the initiative to talk to Zhou You about his family, but was directly rejected by Zhou You with "the child is still young".

Zhou You is an important minister of the imperial court, and his wife is also from a noble background, so Lu Lun can't use it.

But before Tao Cui finished speaking, she squatted down with her head in her arms, and her head was hit by a piece of paperweight thrown out of the house, and then Lu Lun's roar sounded in the room:

"You didn't invite Zhou Xia to the flower viewing party last time, and now you still have a face? Hmph, now Zhou Xia doesn't know where to hide from me. I'll never give you a silver tael again! ”

Tao Cui covered her forehead, she only felt that her brain hurt, and it seemed to be bleeding, but she didn't dare to disobey Lu Lun, so she had to say in a low voice: "I came to tell Gongzi Lu where Zhou Xia went, if Gongzi doesn't care about it, he may have nothing to do with Zhou Xia in this life, if Gongzi listens to me, maybe it will be a chance to get Zhou Xia." ”

When Lu Lun heard this, he immediately strode out and said viciously: "Speak quickly! ”

Tao Cui hurriedly said: "I heard from my mother that Zhou Xia went to Jingguo. ”

Lu Lun asked suspiciously, "What is she doing in Jingguo?" ”

Tao Cui said: "Isn't there a academy in Jingguo, called the Taoist Academy?" She said she had gone there to learn the Tao. If Lu Gongzi doesn't hurry up, she won't be able to see which young talent she likes over there, and she will ......."

Lu Lun said angrily: "Shut up! Getting to the point! ”

Tao Cui bowed his head and said, "Yes." But this is also Lu Gongzi's chance, Lu Gongzi has to stop her from entering the Taoist Academy first, otherwise once we enter, it will be difficult for us to contact her again. It is best to let her be rejected directly by the Taoist Academy, so that she will return to Zhuangguo dejectedly, and Lu Gongzi will take the opportunity to comfort her along the way, so why ......worry about it when the time comes."

Lu Lun nodded: "This makes sense, so I'll do what you say first." It seems that I have to send fast horses over to catch up with Zhou Xia's team first, and I can't let her enter the Taoist Academy. Don't go back during this time, come with me to Jingguo. ”

"Yes." Tao Cui hurriedly saluted and thanked him. She looked at the paperweight on the ground and thought to herself, in this way, this brain injury can be regarded as unjust, and sooner or later she will have to earn it back.
