The main gate of Chu Mansion in Changxing City

The gray-brown gate with a golden plaque, the white stone staircase in front of the door, and the huge stone lions standing on both sides all highlight the extraordinaryness of this mansion.

Chu Yang walked to the gate with Qiao'er, nodded to the doorman who was saluting next to him, and walked in directly.

As for the previous guards, they left when they walked into the range of Chu Mansion, after all, their task was only to escort Chu Yang when he went out.

In the corridor of Chu Mansion

Chu Yang slowed down and walked beside Qiao'er, looking at Qiao'er, who was pulling his head next to him, and had no energy, obviously he had just been forcibly fed by himself and was a little supported. I was also a little reluctant to go, and opened my mouth to say.

"Qiao'er. Would you like to take a break?"

When Qiao'er heard this, she immediately cheered up and said, "It's okay, young master, Qiao'er is very energetic." ”

"Alright. Go and rest. I don't need you with me now. ”

"It's really fine. ”

"Alright, go ahead. ”

"Then, young master, Qiao'er will retire. ”

"Yes. ”

......

Chu Yang watched Qiao'er disappear from view, stretched slightly, and then stepped towards the garden where it was still raining.

The rain is still falling, but not as heavy as it used to be. Chu Yang walked in the rain like this, walking towards the white stone pavilion in the middle of the garden. This level of rain Chu Yang is not afraid, just thinking about it in his heart, the Tai Chi secret method will naturally move, and the surrounding rain suddenly slows down when he is still within a finger range of his body, and then rotates around him like this, slowly falling.

Chu Yang walked into the White Stone Pavilion, his body was still dry and tidy, and he sat down in a position at will. Rubbing his temples slightly, his eyes closed, thinking back to the spiritual trick that Han Xuan had entered into his brain today, the spiritual recipe was not a text like a book, but something similar to a pattern, as long as the spiritual cultivator sensed it, he would naturally know what it did.

After a long time, Chu Yang opened his eyes. sighed slightly, although he knew that his master was not optimistic about himself, he didn't expect to give himself only a lowest-level spiritual formula. Practicing this spiritual recipe will have a cold nature in the spiritual energy in the body, and the speed of absorbing the spiritual energy will be slightly accelerated. But that's all, Chu Yang has also learned a lot of spiritual knowledge in the past few years.

Cultivating the spiritual technique will change the nature of the aura in the body when condensing the element, or make the aura become manic, or increase the total amount of aura in the body, or make the aura have some special effects, and so on. The spirit recipe itself does not have attributes, and any attribute of a spirit recipe can be cultivated, but the nature of the change is not in harmony with the attributes of the aura. Just like this cold wave recipe, it is most suitable for water attributes, followed by wind, and other attribute cultivation is useless, even fire and wood cultivation will have a counterproductive effect.

It's also because he only showed his water attribute aura in front of people, so he gave himself this spiritual formula. However, he is not willing to cultivate this spiritual formula, this spiritual formula cannot achieve his goal, and his life will not agree.

But......

Chu Yang lay on his side on the pillar, his eyes staring blankly at the sky.

I've been cultivating all the time for eight years, and now I'm suddenly telling myself that I don't need to cultivate, and I really don't know what to do.

What to do?

"Big brother?"

Chu Yang came back to his senses when he heard the voice, turned over and stood up and looked at the corridor on the left.

A man and a woman were standing in the hallway.

The man is eight points similar to Chu Yang, but he is not dressed as gorgeous as Chu Yang, just an ordinary scribe dress, holding a folding fan in his hand, and a faint smile on his face, giving people a gentle and elegant feeling.

The woman next to her is much more amazing, with waist-length long hair, graceful, tall, wearing a white gauze skirt, and her face is even more captivating, but her face is a proud expression that rejects people thousands of miles away.

Both of them are not very old, they are both eighteen or nineteen years old, and it was Chu Yang who was called by this young man just now.

When Chu Yang saw the two of them, the boredom in his heart couldn't help but be swept away, and he stepped directly into the corridor from the pavilion in three vertical steps against the rain.

Chu Yang stretched out his hand and patted the young man's shoulder and said, "Xiaohan, aren't you supposed to be in the trading house at this time? Why did you come back so soon today? ”

The young man in front of him was Chu Yang's only younger brother Chu Han, and the girl next to him was a member of Chu Yang's master's family, named Han Shuang.

Chu Han also smiled: "There is something wrong with the business route to the royal capital, so I want to come back and tell my father." And my cousin met on the way back, and they happened to be together. ”

Chu Yang frowned and said, "Trade Road, what can be wrong with this, the landslide has blocked the road?"

"Not really. It's just that an unknown gang attacked the Zhao family's caravan in the east of the city, and it hasn't left yet, so it's a bit troublesome. ”

Chu Yang's brows stretched out again, and he said with a smile: "I have also heard Qiao'er talk about this, but the person who can do such a thing as a robbery should not be very powerful." ”

Chu Han also nodded in agreement: "Indeed, I heard that it is just a few martial cultivators who have not yet reached the Tongli realm. But it's a bit of a hassle for them to occupy Stonefish Mountain. After all, the bottom of the mountain is the only way to the royal capital. ”

Chu Yang nodded knowingly. talked to Chu Han about some other things, and finally Chu Han calculated that the time was almost over. He said, "Brother, time is running out, I should go and meet my father." ”

He turned his head to Han Shuang next to him and said, "Cousin Shuang'er, I hope you don't forget the upcoming party." ”

Han Shuang, who had been beside him without saying a word, nodded and said, "Got it." I'll go there straight when the time comes. ”

Chu Han, who received a clear answer, was obviously in a good mood, said hello to the two of them again with a smile on his face, and then turned to leave, leaving Chu Yang and Han Shuang staring at each other with wide eyes.

Chu Yang was very embarrassed, he really couldn't deal with the cousin in front of him.

As one of the few spiritual cultivators in the Chu family, Han Shuang was a successful cultivation genius at the age of thirteen, plus he was born so beautiful with his appearance, so he had a high reputation in the small circle of the prince in the city, and was also called Princess Frost by them, and was sought after by them.

Originally, such a dazzling person had nothing to do with his own waste, who had been bored all day and had no results in cultivation. I won't take the initiative to find her.

It wasn't until two years ago that I accidentally bumped into one of her secrets, and she hated it ever since. Although she will still give her cousin's face in front of others, the two of them are different in private, such as now.

Chu Yang looked at Han Shuang, who was looking at him coldly, and rubbed his hands together with each other, obviously a little nervous in his heart. The unchanged smile on his face was a little unnatural, and he said cautiously: "That, cousin Shuang'er." Do you have anything else to do with me now?"

"It's a little bit. You should have heard what Cousin Chu Han said just now. ”

Chu Yang asked a little uncertainly, "Is it something that Xiao Han asked you to go to?"

Han Shuang sneered and said lightly: "What kind of party, cousin is really a busy man! Have you even forgotten the annual local flower festival on the lake?"

Chu Yang thought about it for a while, and then he knew what she said, there was such a flower party, although he hadn't been there for a long time.

"Remember, remember. The time of the flower meeting should be in a month or two, right?"

Chu Yang knows about the Lake Flower Society. Outside Changxing City, there is a large lake called Zhuhu Lake in the east. In the middle of the lake grows a strange flower called the double-petaled flower. When this flower blooms, it has only two petals, one pale red and one pure white.

However, when people go to this flower, they will not see when the flowers bloom, but when the flowers wither. When a double-petaled flower withers, the two petals become entangled and then wither in a short period of time, leaving behind an edible fruit formed by the fusion of the two petals.

In the past, some young couples thought it was very romantic, thinking that if they ate half of the fruit with the person they liked, the love would last longer, so they gave the fruit a name called Aijingguo. There is also this lake flower meeting.

Han Shuang still said in a cold tone: "However, Cousin Chu Yang won't go." After all, cultivation is the most important thing for you. ”

Chu Yang didn't care about the ridicule in Han Shuang's tone, and sighed in a low voice. The smile on his face was still the same, but his tone of voice had become a little lower. "You should know, Xiao Han has liked you very much since before. ”

Han Shuang didn't seem to expect Chu Yang to suddenly say this, although his face was still that cold, he said in a tone with a hint of anger: "Then, you should also know that I already have someone I like." ”

Chu Yang thought about it, he knew it two years ago, and suddenly asked with some puzzlement: "Then why do you still have to promise him? Since you have no idea about Xiao Han, is this game still meaningful to you?"

Han Shuang did not answer immediately. His eyes were blank, as if he was thinking about something, a hint of redness appeared on his face that had been cold, and his breathing was a little rapid.

Chu Yang looked at Han Shuang and showed this rare girl's expression of Huaichun, if he let those sons and buddies in the city see it, he didn't know how much trouble it would set off. However, Chu Yang knew her true nature, although she also thought it was beautiful, but she didn't feel too amazing. Chu Yang suddenly chuckled in his heart, remembering the conversation with Han Shuang before, and felt that he already knew what she was going to say to herself.

As if to confirm what Chu Yang thought in his heart, Han Shuang suddenly smiled at Chu Yang, and said in a coquettish tone that was completely different from just now: "Cousin Chu Yang, I hope you will help me again, this flower party will be ......." ”

"Stop. I know what you want, and it doesn't matter what he used to help you with asking him what he likes, but I'm not going to help you with this. Chu Yang directly interrupted Han Shuang before she finished speaking.

Han Shuang was stunned for a moment, as if he didn't expect Chu Yang to refuse so simply, and said again without giving up: "This time I didn't let you do it in vain, I will give you a spiritual weapon after the matter is completed." ”

Chu Yang was also stunned for a moment when he heard this, as far as he knew, Han Shuang had but only one spiritual weapon on his body, this thing was not so good!

But here's it

Chu Yang opened his mouth again and refused: "It's not easy to do anything, there is really no way to do this, he won't go." Alas, if you have the heart, you should know what happened to our family eight years ago, you should know what happened, and you should know how much this trip will hurt him. ”

Han Shuang's expression collapsed suddenly, and her beautiful face was full of disappointment. It seemed that he wanted to say something, but after glancing at Chu Yang with a non-negotiable expression, he swallowed his words back, and then walked past Chu Yang without saying anything.

Chu Yang spoke again at this time: "Don't go to Xiaohan either." It's useless, he won't help you, for the same reason as me. And there's no way you're going to confess to him that you like that person. ”

A trace of anger flashed on Han Shuang's face with his back to Chu Yang, and blue light flashed in his eyes, but he still left without saying anything.

Chu Yang listened to the footsteps behind him and couldn't help but sigh in his heart. Although he wanted to help Xiaohan, this was a matter for the three of them, and it was really not good for him to be too involved.

He stretched out his hand, not thinking about these troublesome things, and just as the rain had stopped, he had found something to do.

Raise your feet and walk towards the outside of the house.

It's true to think about yourself, I haven't done it for a long time.
