In Zaifu's house, in a quaint room, green smoke rises from the incense burner, and a special aroma permeates the entire room.

Chu Xiqing fell asleep quietly on the bed, suddenly his fingers moved slightly, and then woke up slowly. He propped himself up, pain coming from his body and head. With one hand on his forehead, Chu Xiqing looked around with difficulty, and found that he was in a completely unfamiliar environment, and the special aroma in the air eased the pain in his brain a lot.

Chu Xiqing tried hard to recall what happened, many fragmentary scenes emerged, slowly connected into a complete memory, he remembered that he met the old man Kou Yuan, and then the three enemies came to the door, he got Kou Yuan's cultivation and fought with the three people all the way to the capital, and the memory came to an abrupt end after entering the capital.

So where is this? Chu Xiqing lifted the quilt, the clothes on his body were torn, the green clothes were almost dyed red, and he didn't find a single wound after careful inspection, not even a scar, as if nothing had happened, only the blood stains on the clothes recorded the difficult battle.

He got out of bed and put on his shoes, his body was very weak, and he staggered to the door and pushed the door out.

The dazzling sunlight made Chu Xiqing have to raise his hand to block it, and before he could get used to it, a person suddenly appeared in front of him and pushed Chu Xiqing towards the room.

The person who came was dressed in a purple luxurious official uniform and had an extraordinary bearing, but Chu Xiqing recognized it at a glance as the down-and-out old man Kou Yuan!

Kou Yuan pushed Chu Xiqing into the room with a smile, and said with a smile: "Chen Xiaoyou, you finally woke up, you borrowed my cultivation before, the physical body is unbearable, and you are still recovering, and it is not suitable to move around now."

Chu Xiqing saw that Kou Yuan was emotional, and pointed at Kou Yuan and said, "Old man, you almost killed me!"

Kou Yuan was still smiling, quietly pressed Chu Xiqing's hand down, and said, "Chen Xiaoyou, don't get excited, you need to recuperate now."

He helped Chu Xiqing to the edge of the bed and sat down, then took a step back, and said solemnly: "Old man, I want to thank Chen Xiaoyou for saving his life."

Kou Yuan's bow made Chu Xiqing a little surprised, and then he hesitated: "What are you doing, don't think about pit me."

Kou Yuan sighed lightly: "At that time, there was really no way, my injury recurred, and I had no power to resist."

"Then why are you pulling me?" Chu Xiqing was still a little angry.

Kou Yuan said calmly: "Because I can't die yet, I have to use all means to survive, I still have many important things to do, Xiaoyou is my only hope, and it turns out that I am right."

Chu Xiqing was silent, and asked after a while, "So, are you really Zaifu?"

Kou Yuan shook his clothes and said, "Isn't it obvious?" Immediately, he smiled kindly: "Xiaoyou is my Kou Yuan's savior, if you have any needs, just ask, I will do my best to meet them."

Chu Xiqing pondered: "Will there be hidden dangers left on me?"

"I have removed the injuries on your body, there will be no left, but there is a loss of physical consciousness, and I have also asked someone to find an elixir that can repair the consumption, I believe there will be news soon."

Chu Xiqing nodded, hesitated slightly, and said, "Senior, in fact, my real name is Chu Xiqing, and your student Chu Xuping is my brother."

Kou Yuan seemed to have known for a long time, and at this time he smiled with relief, nodded and said, "I had a guess when I saw your appearance at that time." After a while, he said with a smile: "Boy, why are you suddenly serious, no one has dared to talk to me like that for many years, continue to say a few words."

Chu Xiqing glanced at Kou Yuan with a strange expression and asked, "Senior, can I go to my brother now?"

Kou Yuan shook his head, "Xu Ping has something to do and has left Beijing, and he will come back in a few days, so you can stay with me first, and then talk about it when you recover, otherwise my student will know that you are injured because of me, and he is afraid that he will blame me." ”

Then exit the room and close the door.

Chu Xiqing had been sitting on the bed in a daze after Kou Yuan left, not knowing what he was thinking, he suddenly felt a little bored, and wanted to kill time with cultivation, but as soon as his qi entered his body, his body seemed to be hammered, and the pain was incomparable.

"Hiss~" Chu Xiqing gasped, alas, borrowing the sequelae left by Kou Yuan's cultivation? Now he can't even refine qi, he doesn't want to just lie down like this.

"Goo~" There was a sound in his stomach, he had not had a desire to eat for too long, and he almost forgot about eating. Chu Xi cleared out of the room, and there was a bamboo forest planted in the courtyard, and the swaying bamboo covered a path.

Chu Xiqing walked all the way out along the path, the covered bridge was lying on the waves, it was very beautiful, he lost his mind and admired, and there was a dispute not far away: "Don't stop me, I'm going to see the person who saved my grandfather."

"No, miss, the master has instructed Chen Gongzi to recuperate, you can't disturb him now."

"I'm just going to take a look."

Several people came to Chu Xiqing during the dispute, and saw Chu Xiqing, the girl in red who was surrounded by three maids was stunned, she looked behind Chu Xiqing, and confirmed that he came out of the winding path, the girl's eyes lit up, and she said excitedly: "Are you the one who saved my grandfather!" You're amazing!"

The three maids hurriedly said, "Gongzi Chen, you should recuperate in the room, and you should not go out and walk around."

Chu Xiqing was frightened by the reactions of several people, unconsciously took a step back, and blurted out: "I'm a little hungry, do you have anything to eat?"

The girl grabbed Chu Xiqing's hand, pulled him away, and looked back and smiled as she walked: "Yes, yes, I'll take you there." The three maids couldn't stop them.

A table of meals, looking sumptuous, is actually very light, but now it is just right for Chu Xiqing's appetite.

The girl sat next to Chu Xiqing, her chin propped up with her hands, and her eyes sparkled. After some conversation, Chu Xiqing learned that the girl's name was Kou Qingqiu, who was the granddaughter of Zai Fu Kou Yuan, who was fourteen years old this year, one year younger than him.

Chu Xiqing glanced at Kou Qingqiu strangely while eating, not understanding why she kept staring at herself.

The girl Kou Qingqiu said with admiration on her face: "Chen Gongzi, you are so powerful that day, such a tall person, such a big hand grabbed you, you completely ignored it, and rushed directly into the capital, there were many people like Chen Gongzi who wanted to fly into the capital before, and they blew up halfway, only you succeeded."

Chu Xiqing didn't have a clear impression, he was already confused at that time, frowned, and asked, "Miss Qingqiu, when are you talking about?"

"Three days ago! Grandpa also told me that if it wasn't for Chen Gongzi that day, he would definitely not be able to come back, and he might not have beaten those three people. ”

Three days ago? Chu Xiqing was in a trance, he was in a coma for three days, it was a miracle that he could be alive!

After coming back to his senses, Chu Xiqing said softly: "Actually, my name is Chu Xiqing."

Kou Qingqiu blinked, his expression suddenly became serious, and he said in a low voice: "I know, the pseudonym of walking the rivers and lakes is right."

Chu Xiqing nodded hesitantly, seeing that she didn't know what to say, but what she said was right.

After eating, Chu Xiqing got up, and the girl stood up with him.

Chu Xiqing gestured in his heart expressionlessly, he was a head shorter than himself, and he smiled.

Kou Qingqiu's face is fresh and refined, with a girl's unique liveliness and agility, and her innocent and flawless face seems to have a yearning look.

She noticed that Chu Xiqing's clothes were in tatters, so she proposed, "Chu ...... No, Chen Gongzi, let's go and remake your clothes!"

Chu Xiqing looked at it, he really needed to change his clothes, he looked at Kou Qingqiu and thanked him: "Then there is Miss Lao Qingqiu."

Suddenly, his expression changed, Taiqing who had been hanging on his waist was gone, he hurriedly returned to the previous room, turned around without a trace, asked Kou Qingqiu to no avail, anxious when he suddenly thought that some magic weapons could be included in the sea of knowledge, his divine sense entered the sea of knowledge, and sure enough, he found Taiqing, it was so quietly hanging in the sea of knowledge, Chu Xiqing took it out, the strange thing is that he couldn't even refine qi, and there was no problem in controlling Taiqing in and out of the sea of knowledge.

"You can't save me, but you can stay in my sea of knowledge, really!" Chu Xi smiled angrily.

Kou Qingqiu took Chu Xiqing to a shop called "Embroidered Luo Clothes" not far outside Zaifu's mansion to make a few well-fitting clothes, all of which were made of high-quality silk and satin, which were very expensive.

After returning to the mansion, the girl in red, Kou Qingqiu, had been following Chu Xiqing, making him a little overwhelmed, looking at her red clothes, he suddenly thought of a person he hadn't seen for a long time, who was also dressed in red, but a head taller than him.

Xiaomo in the south of the city is in spring again, and I don't see anyone in sight of plum blossoms.

It seems that he is a little nostalgic, after all, he has made a mark on his heart.
