Chapter Twenty-Five: The Covenant of a Million

After Yan Ruoli served everyone a cup of tea, the maids came up to serve one after another. Plate after plate of delicacies was served to the table by the young and beautiful maids, all of which were specialties of Xicheng, and the production was extremely painstaking and laborious, which can be described as very luxurious.

At this tea party, Gu March ate the most. At first, she was very reserved, just taking small sips of tea, for fear of losing face.

Later, she found that she basically didn't understand the topics that the rest of the people said, and she couldn't interject, and no one cared about her, so she relaxed.

It wasn't until those delicate little snacks were served on the table that she completely fell, and she only cared about filling her five internal organs temple, and had already thrown any etiquette and reserve out of the clouds.

Except for Xu Huaigu, none of the people present knew her very well, nor did they know her origin, so they let her eat.

After the tea party was over, when everyone was about to disperse, Xu Huaigu took Gu March to get up, but she ate too much, and almost fell down as soon as she stood up, causing the rest of the people to laugh.

Xu Huaigu scolded with a smile: "It's not a good idea, you can eat like this." Gu Yueman didn't care, laughed self-deprecatingly, and got up to leave.

Xu Huaigu was also about to leave, but Yan Chonglou hurriedly stopped him and said, "Regarding the matter of getting on the ferry, please also ask Xu Xianchang to borrow a step to discuss with me in detail." Xu Huaigu glanced at him suspiciously and said, "Okay." Yan Chonglou left with Xu Huaigu, Gu Yuezheng didn't know where to go, Chu Xiuyang hurriedly called her: "Sister March, come to me!" Gu March followed Chu Xiuyang over, and the two walked out of the small building deep in the flowers and plants, and suddenly the sun was shining, the breeze was coming, and the eyes were full of plants and flowers blooming, and the situation in the small building was like a world away.

Chu Xiuyang left with her alone, and Chu Wenze was still in the small building, and he didn't know what to say to Yan Ruoli.

Chu Xiuyang will be coquettish to his brother in everything, but this thing will not. Chu Xiuyang asked Gu March to go to Xicheng to play, Gu March was afraid that her farewell would make Xu Huaigu angry, so she insisted on waiting for Xu Huaigu outside, Chu Xiuyang couldn't help her, so she waited with her outside.

It didn't take long to see Xu Huaigu coming out of the small building, and Yan Chonglou behind him also walked out with a blue face.

Don't think about it, the fact that he wants to win over Xu Huaigu as the worship of the Yan family must be yellow, and it is estimated that Xu Huaigu has not given him a few good words to listen to, so Yan Chonglou is angry like this.

At this time, Chu Wenze and Yan Ruoli also walked out side by side with a smile, seeing that Chu Xiuyang and Xu Huaigu were outside, Chu Wenze hurriedly walked a few steps in front of everyone, and said with a smile on his face: "It's just right, you are all here, I just wanted to go to you." Today is the Lantern Festival, I just discussed with Ruoli, let's go to the tower in the center of Bishui Lake tonight to put lanterns, how about it? Chu Xiuyang screamed in surprise and said, "The tower of Bishui Lake!" I know that I know that place is the most suitable place to put lanterns in the city! Brother, you're so nice, I was just going there! Yan Ruoli smiled lightly, revealing two small dimples, pinned the green silk on her cheeks behind her ears, and whispered: "Since Her Royal Highness the princess likes it, it would be the best." Tonight I will bring some of the best lanterns, let the servants carry them, and go to the tower together, and when the time comes, Her Royal Highness will put as many as she wants. Chu Xiuyang happily agreed, Gu Yue was also curious about how beautiful the lantern was, even Chu Xiuyang was so happy, he couldn't help but look forward to it.

Chu Wenze gently stroked Yan Ruoli's green silk and said, "Ruoli, you should also change your words, what else is your Royal Highness the princess and Her Royal Highness the prince, you can call me Wenze, and Xiuyang and sister." Yan Ruoli blushed, hid her face with her sleeves and said coquettishly: "Then how can it be done?" This hasn't gotten married yet, just call you and the princess, where does the royal face exist? Don't you value royal prestige the most, no, let's talk about it later. Chu Wenze said softly: "I am really touched that you think about me so much." Where should I find someone as nice as you? Yan Ruoli laughed stupidly, no different from the woman who fell in love.

Chu Xiuyang felt sour in his heart, but when he thought that he could play with the lanterns tonight, he was not so sad.

So everyone left first, agreed at dusk, and then took a sedan chair to the tower of Bishui Lake to put lanterns.

…… In a guest room of the Yan family, Xu Huaigu sat on the ground with a long sword

"Xiaoyu" was placed on his side, and the silk sword was intended to shuttle back and forth between the long sword and his body, and he was meditating and practicing.

Gu Yueyue was stunned from the sidelines, even though she knew how great a monk was before, but now when she really saw a monk's cultivation, she was also very surprised.

She couldn't figure out why Xu Huaigu's body and the sword kept wandering around with white filamentous things, and this thing turned out to be the foundation of Xu Huaigu's sword cultivation.

She had never studied the sword cultivation method, and she had been quietly watching Xu Huaigu like this for two hours. She did not dare to move, nor did she dare to make a sound, for fear of disturbing him and making him angry.

Gradually, Gu March kept watching Xu Huaigu repeat this process, and he also felt bored.

When she was bored and had already begun to play with her fingers, Xu Huaigu suddenly opened her eyes, her eyes sharp, like a sharp sword out of the sheath.

Gu March was startled, and then Xu Huaigu stood up, looked out the window at the sky, and said, "It's not early, it's time to put out the lanterns." Gu Yueyue looked at him strangely and said, "It turns out that cultivation is just like you just now, I feel so bored." Xu Huaigu said, "You haven't experienced cultivation, so you naturally don't understand." Those who are in the midst of practice do not feel the passage of time. "Gu March

"Oh" sounded, but suddenly felt a twitch in the stomach, unexpectedly

"Grunt" screamed. Gu Yue covered her stomach in embarrassment, Xu Huaigu couldn't stop laughing, and said, "You didn't eat lunch?" Shouldn't you watch me practice for a day? Gu Yueyue glanced at him, and pretended to be disgusted: "That's not because I'm afraid of making noise with you, I'm afraid that you will go crazy, I don't dare to move around in bed all the time." She muttered again, "However, just looking at it quietly is quite beautiful." The sound was as small as a mosquito's call, but it couldn't escape Xu Huaigu's ears.

He secretly snickered in his heart and said, "What did you say? Gu March immediately changed her tone and said, "I said that I have been hungry for a long time, can I eat a bowl of rice first and then put the lanterns?" Xu Huaigu smiled evilly, his eyes blatantly swept over her waist, and Gu Yueyue's face suddenly flew a burst of pink.

Xu Huaigu chuckled and said: "I said March, look at your waist, compared to Yan Ruoli, I don't know how bad it is, and you still have the heart to eat every day?" I ate so much in the morning, I don't have to eat it now, I just went to put the lanterns. Reading the book, Gu March was ashamed and angry, wanted to speak but didn't know how to refute, and finally had to sneer: "Heh, man." Xu Huaigu smiled, took out a green pill the size of a fingernail from his robe, flicked his fingertips, and sent it to Gu Yueyue's hand, saying, "Bigu Dan, you can drink without eating and drinking for three days after eating." Gu Yue said in surprise: "Wow, pill!" It's so powerful, it must be very expensive! Xu Huaigu couldn't bear to expose that this was actually one of the lowest-grade pills, so he had to say, "It should be about the same...... Anyway, you hurry up and eat it, keep in shape, this thing is the best. After this morning's tea party, Gu March already knew at this time that Xu Huaigu was not the seventy-old and eighty-year-old monk she thought in her heart, but a nineteen-year-old genius.

At this time, when he said this, he didn't care about any master and apprentice monk mortals, and he only felt that the girl's heart was a little pounding.

Gu Yueyue swallowed the pill in her heart, and sure enough, she felt hot in her lower abdomen, and then she immediately didn't feel hungry, which was really amazing.

Xu Huaigu looked at her like that and felt funny in his heart. Suddenly, a thought flashed through his mind like a meteor.

It's good to have such a person to chat with you to relieve boredom, at least it's much better than walking the rivers and lakes alone, and you can only swallow everything in your stomach.

Anyway, take her on a journey of rivers and lakes, if she really has no chance and talent, let her be an ordinary person and follow her.

But in this case, what kind of name should she have? Could it be Xu Huaigu's apprentice? He took in an apprentice who didn't cultivate?

It's not like words. Xu Huaigu looked at Gu March and looked happy, touching his belly from time to time like a curious baby, thinking of the woman who walked up the 1,542 steps step by step on the steps of the Fuyao Sect, knocked her forehead to blood, and then knelt under the scorching sun for a day, insisting on not eating or drinking.

Is this still the same person? Could it be that the good days of the past few days have worn away the ruthlessness in her heart?

When the mind is worn out, the path of cultivation can be said to be over. Xu Huaigu felt that he had mistaken her.

He suddenly looked serious, and said in a deep voice: "Gu March." Gu March was still immersed in joy, and when she heard Xu Huaigu's bad tone, she was suddenly shocked, and quickly put away her smiling face, and said seriously: "Immortal Xu Chang? Xu Huaigu asked her seriously: "Do you still want to be a mountain person?" Gu Yue was stunned, nodded resolutely, and said in a loud voice: "Yes!" Xu Huaigu took out a booklet of boxing techniques from his robe.

He wouldn't buy such a thing, thanks to Chen Jingshan's huge collection. Xu Huaigu gave her the booklet, Gu Yueyue looked at the punching technique, her throat moved, and her heart had already set off a storm.

Xu Huaigu said solemnly: "This is a boxing book, entry-level. I roughly calculated, according to this set of boxing methods, if you are proficient, it will take two breaths to punch at a time, and you can punch 1,500 punches in an hour. ”

"From tomorrow, you will start practicing boxing, 10,000 punches a day, and you can eat and rest after practice. Of course, if you want to be lazy, you can do it, but if I find out, you won't have to follow me in the future. ”

"After a hundred days, if you can throw a million punches, I will accept you as a disciple." Gu March only felt that this moment was extremely sacred.

She was not intimidated by Xu Huaigu, but took the thin booklet with both hands, and said with a resolute face: "I will make a million punches and become your disciple." Xu Huaigu smiled slightly and said, "I hope so." ”
