Chapter Seventy-Seven: As Usual
Mo Zong's night was unusual.
The morning of late autumn should have been fresh dew and tender bamboo, but in the early morning of this day, the dullness filled the air, and the defeat after the thunder roared could be seen everywhere. Every figure walking on the road does not have the whispers of the previous days, and silence is the theme of Mozong's unification today.
Qiu Fang dragged his tired body to appear in the courtyard of the wind and stars very early, and the maids were busy, but fortunately, there was not much heavy work, otherwise Qiu Fang's unhealed body would be seen in an instant.
But the subordinates have always cultivated the ability to observe words and feelings, and Hongyue quietly approached him and said softly.
"Gu Ya, your face doesn't look very good."
"During the day, I went to do some work outside the city on the orders of Manager Liu, and at night the lightning and thunder roared, and I didn't sleep well." Qiu Fang smiled bitterly, his face was always a little pale, and he couldn't help but be discovered by the red moon who had been on an errand in the courtyard of the wind and stars for a long time.
"I'm done today, so let's go back and rest early." Hongyue cared, but her mood was not high, last night's heavenly thunder made the people of the Mo Sect not have sweet dreams, these things that need to be settled by cultivators, they are ordinary people, although they have doubts in their hearts, they dare not ask.
"Thank you, sister, for your concern." Qiu Fang said softly.
The atmosphere was silent again. It wasn't until noon that the wind and the stars slowly pushed open the window, and every day when she got up, she would poke her head out and smell the fragrance, and see that the people in the courtyard were still busy, and she was a little excited.
Although she didn't make a move last night, she also knew that life was not peaceful. She couldn't help but lean lightly on the windowsill, dragging her hand under her chin, and looking into the distance.
"Xing'er."
There was a burly figure standing in the distance, following the prestige, Qiu Fang's heart trembled, it was Feng Zheng.
How did he get here? The young man wondered in his heart.
"Daddy." Seeing that it was Feng Zheng, the wind smiled with the stars and came out of the house at a trot.
Feng Zheng usually has a look of not being angry and arrogant, and when people meet them on the road, they have to say hello timidly, and then let them go to both sides, and wait for Feng Zheng to go first.
But today's Feng Zheng didn't seem to be disturbed by last night's thunder, and looked at the wind and stars running towards him with a smile.
Feng Suixing was impatient, and he had a lot of confusion about last night's events, so he asked: "Daddy, what happened last night?"
"A few thunderbolts fell, and they didn't get in the way." Feng Zheng smiled, his face as usual.
"Usually windy, rainy, thundering and lightning, I have never seen such a scene, there must be something different." Feng Suixing earnestly recounted his judgment.
When Feng Zheng heard this, he was calm, but he persuaded her: "The soldiers will block the water and cover the earth, Xing'er don't have to worry." It's just that the sect may not be peaceful in the near future, so you have to take care of yourself. ”
Feng Zheng has always been unsmiling at the people in the sect, and even if he treats those close to him, he treats them with seriousness. However, when I saw it recently, Feng Suixing was an exception, he was favored by Feng Zheng, and he never blamed him between his words, even when Feng Suixing confronted other family owners at the night banquet that day, he didn't have any harsh criticism.
Probably that's why the wind is so arrogant and domineering. Qiu Fang thought. However, this scene of father and daughter's filial piety made him a little envious, after all, the cold noodle Taoist did not smile most of the time, let alone pampered.
"Is it because of the Deepavali Conference?"
Feng Suixing's eyes widened, and she asked puzzledly, according to her temperament, as long as she has doubts, she must break the casserole and ask to the end, and find out why.
Feng Zheng does not shy away from this matter, there is no impermeable wall in the world, no matter how you deceive, it will leak the rumors, not to mention that if you want to show your prestige, of course, the more people who know, the better.
"Yes, last night's thunder broke the barrier, and it is estimated that it will take some time to repair, and the people of the East Pole Gate will not watch us successfully slaughter the demon."
"Hmph, it's the thief of the East Pole Gate again." Feng Suixing gritted his teeth and scolded, and Qiu Fang heard it on the side and sneeze involuntarily.
The father and daughter of the Feng family were attracted by this sneeze.
Feng Suixing glared at Qiu Fang as always, his expression as if he was angrily scolding Qiu Fang for interrupting the conversation between their father and daughter.
Feng Zheng's expression couldn't see the depth, he stared at Qiu Fang, but said to Feng Suixing: "This kid is from your yard." ”
"Yes, Daddy."
Feng Suixing replied respectfully, it seemed that only in front of Feng Zheng and Lin Qin would she show a trace of well-behavedness.
"I saw it at the feast. But you're about to get married, and there's a man in the courtyard, so you need to be careful. Feng Zheng said indifferently.
Hearing the words "marrying a woman", Feng Suixing's face turned slightly red, and he explained after a while: "There are some dirty and heavy work, and Jiuqing and Hongyue can't do it, so they bothered Aunt Min to pick a man." ”
Feng Zheng nodded when he heard this, and while staring at Qiu Fang, he said, "Pale and thin, I'm afraid I can't carry it on my shoulders." ”
Fortunately, Qiu Fang met last night's bad thing, and today's appearance is indeed a little weak, but it will not make people doubt his identity.
"Back to the sect master, the little one is naturally afraid of thunder and lightning, so last night... Didn't have a good rest last night. ”
Qiu Fang hurriedly said, working on an errand in the courtyard of Feng Suixing, there are not too many trivialities, and he lives alone in the firewood room, coupled with listening to the tone of Feng Zheng, it will take time for the enchantment to be repaired, these days are just a good time for activities, and naturally he can't spoil his good deeds because of Feng Zheng's words.
"Oh."
Feng Zheng nodded, and no longer paid attention to Qiu Fang, but turned his head to Feng Suixing and said, "Xing'er, on the big day, can you set a time?" ”
"It's all up to Daddy." The wind followed the stars with a shy face, and his eyes drooped.
"Then it's up to me to discuss it with the Lin family. Lin Qin, this child, is talented and calm-minded, he is a rare good son-in-law, you have to take care of your temper when you get married, don't make trouble. ”
Feng Zheng muttered, he knew his daughter's temperament well, and he was worried about her in vain.
"The daughter knows, and the father can rest assured."
Feng Suixing still didn't raise her head, Qiu Fang's heart was full of disdain when she saw this, obviously she usually wanted to spill if she didn't say a word, but now she pretended to be a good lady.
"Lin Qin, how is it to you?"
Feng Zheng nodded again, and said slowly, his steps moved slightly, and as he spoke, he looked at the flowers and trees around him.
As a father, Feng Suixing is a girl to be married, he naturally does not often hang around his daughter's boudoir, and he has not been here for many days, so he can't help but take a look at his daughter's life.
Feng Suixing was stunned when he heard this, and then spoke again: "Lin Gongzi is very good to me. ”
In fact, the people present have heard of it more or less, especially the maidservants often use the anecdotes of the master's family to communicate with each other, so it is natural to know that Lin Qin is always deferential and polite to Feng Suixing, not caring, if you want to talk about ordinary friends, this is reasonable, but when it comes to unmarried couples, it is a little worse.
This feeling is naturally also in Feng Suixing's own heart, at this time Feng Zheng asked, she is not good at pouring bitter water, she only dares to pass it over.
What's more, Feng Zheng has always been responsive and loving to her, if she heard that Lin Qin's concern for her still had a trace of indifference, I was afraid that she would be angry and ruin this marriage, such a scene was something she didn't want to see.
"That's good, Madame left early, I'm usually busy with affairs, and I don't ask much about you and Yun'er, you need to be more considerate."
Feng Zheng looked up at the sky at this moment, and thousands of thoughts wandered through his mind.
Feng Suixing saw a trace of pathos in his father's eyes, and hurriedly stepped forward, grabbed Feng Zheng's arm and said, "Where is the father, it's too late for the daughter to be grateful." ”
After all, Feng Zheng is the head of a sect, a person with big things in mind, such emotions will not be able to hang on his face for a long time, but in the blink of an eye, he put away this true feeling, and laughed loudly: "It's good for you to be considerate, in a few days, you marry the Lin family, don't forget to come back to see me from time to time, my father is also old, and time is definitely not much." ”
As soon as Feng Zheng said this, Feng Suixing had a sour nose, it seemed that the scene after marrying a woman had appeared in front of her, and the white-haired Feng Zheng sat alone in the hall of the Mo Sect, looking so desolate.
Feng Zheng noticed the strangeness of Feng Suixing, and smiled and comforted: "Children of the Feng family, you can't cry your nose. Father has a lot of things for you to do in the future, are you willing? ”
Seeing that Feng Zheng suddenly asked this, Feng Suixing was stunned for a moment, and replied without thinking: "Father's order, the daughter will never give up." ”
"Bad luck." Feng Zheng took a sip, shook his head with a smile, and then said, "That's enough." ”
"But what can a daughter do for her father?" Feng Suixing asked puzzled.
Feng Zheng turned his head to look at her, and said with a smile: "I will know in the future that the most important thing for the Mo Sect at the moment is that the demon slaughter is smooth, and it is common for some dangerous things to happen at that time, you have to take care of yourself." ”
Hearing the word Deeper, Wu Qiufang's ears pricked up, and he held the broom in his hand tighter.
"Daddy, my daughter doesn't understand, what's the benefit of this demon slaughter?"
As soon as Feng Suixing's voice fell, Feng Zheng laughed, shook his head slowly, and said, "Have you ever seen a demon?"
"Where can I see my daughter?"
"The demon caught this time is only more than ten years old, even younger than you, but the realm has reached the second type of people." Feng Zheng exclaimed.
"Ahh The wind exclaimed with a start, and his face was full of disbelief. She had never seen this demon, so naturally she didn't know the depths of it.
Wu Qiufang had seen it, but at this moment, with Feng Zheng's words, he thought deeply, and he also felt a little unbelievable in his heart.
Could it be that the demon's cultivation will be ten times faster than that of ordinary people? No, a hundredfold? Qiu Fang frowned and thought.
"What if, that youkai, is actually more than a hundred years old?" Feng Suixing guessed casually.
Feng Zheng laughed indifferently, his eyes showed a look of embarrassment, and he pondered for a moment before he said: "If you are more than a hundred years old, and you still have the face of a girl, wouldn't it be even more terrifying?"
Feng Zheng said, putting his hands behind his back, with a hint of playfulness in his face.
"Then Daddy wants to know why?"
"No one will reject eternal life, even if it is not. Exercises and secret treasures are things that human beings will always covet. ”
Feng Zheng's face suddenly turned cold, and the atmosphere seemed a little solemn.
Feng Suixing didn't know how to answer, but said willfully: "My daughter just wants her father to be well." ”
When Feng Zheng heard this, he showed a relieved smile, stroked the long hair like water with the wind and the stars, and said indifferently: "I really hope that every day is as usual." ”
