Chapter 9: Pretending to be stupid will kill me

"Will you be able to be promoted to the fourth level of qi refining in January next year?" Li Jieyu, who heard the news, repeated what Pei Ruxi had said, evoking a mocking chuckle, "She should climb the stairs when she cultivates, and she can go up with one step of her feet?"

Maybe she really thinks so, she's young and ignorant. The maid who was waiting for Li Xie Yu said, "It took our son-in-law three years to cultivate to the fourth level of qi refining, and Miss Xi claimed that she could catch up with Lie Gongzi within a year, which is a pipe dream. ”

The master and servant looked down on Pei Ruxi, and Liang Jiannan was also worried, "Xixi, you really talked too much! Seven months later, if you don't have the cultivation of the fourth layer of Qi refining, everyone will laugh at you, what can you do? Your father is really a bastard, he doesn't give you a good guide to cultivate, and he also spreads your jokes, it's ridiculous!"

In the face of her disbelief, Pei Ruxi said: "A-Niang waited patiently for half a year, I can do it, and relax." ”

The words have been spoken, and they cannot be taken back. Liang Jiannan thought that Pei Ruxi had been promoted three times in five months, patted her thin shoulder, and said, "You work hard, whether you can do it or not, you can be worthy of your heart." Your father may laugh at you, but your mother will never. ”

Pei Ruxi sent his mother away, turned around and went into the quiet room, but smelled a strange aroma.

The aroma made her feel slightly disgusted, and she didn't like it, so she called the maid to remove the incense burner.

The maid said, "Miss, this is the Qingling Incense given to you by the elders, which will help you cultivate. A piece of Qingling incense can only burn for two hours when you buy a spirit stone outside, and the elder has sent you three hundred at a time, but it hurts you. ”

Daddy's kindness?

Smelling the Qingling incense that he didn't like, Pei Ruxi left the incense burner, let the maid go out, sat down to practice by himself, and carefully felt the effect of smelling the Qingling incense on cultivation. This incense can speed up the operation of the heart method, but she has always used the maximum speed that the meridians and dantian can withstand to run the heart method, and the Qingling incense is of limited use.

Pei Ruxi, who was not accustomed to wronging himself, drew three prohibitions to enclose the incense burner, and let the Qingling incense burn quietly in the narrow area surrounded by the prohibition.

Two Qingling incense sticks were burned every day, and three hundred Qingling incense sticks were burned for five months, and Pei Xiangrong sent a new Qingling incense. This year, what was lit was the newly sent Qingling incense, Pei Ruxi sniffed the aroma, and felt that he didn't hate the Qingling incense so much, so he cultivated with the taste of the Qingling incense.

Unexpectedly, the new Qingling incense is different from the old one, Pei Ruxi was keenly aware of the difference between the two Qingling incense, thinking that Pei Xiangrong had met a liar who was selling fakes, and a summons called him.

Pei Xiangrong is a monk who has used Qingling incense, smelling the fragrance, and said as a matter of course: "This is Qingling incense, I didn't buy a fake." ”

"So I feel wrong?" Pei Ruxi wondered.

"Eighty percent of the way. ”

"I don't believe it. ”

Pei Ruxi, who has a good memory, didn't think that his nose and brain would give him an illusion, so he approached the incense burner, grabbed a handful of incense ashes, sniffed the residual smell, and felt disgusted again.

She looked at her absent-minded father and said, "Since there is no problem with the new Qingling incense, there must be a problem with the old one." ”

Pei Xiangrong had also been poisoned by the house fight, and when he heard this, his face changed, he grabbed the incense ash and sniffed it seriously, and his brows furrowed. He took out the sachet and filled it with a handful of incense ashes, and said, "I'll go out, don't tell anyone about this for the time being, including your aunt." ”

Pei Ruxi expected that there was something wrong with the old Qingling incense, and said, "Daddy, please don't startle the snake." ”

Pei Xiangrong had already guessed in his heart who was using Qingling Incense to calculate Pei Ruxi, and when he heard his daughter ask him to quietly find someone to test the incense ash, his thin lips pursed into a line, and said: "You concentrate on cultivation, and Daddy will solve other things for you." ”

He was about to leave, Pei Ruxi grabbed his sleeve, looked into his eyes and said, "Daddy, it's not that I don't want to believe you." This problematic Qingling incense was given to me by you, and you neglected my safety, and I am afraid that you will be negligent again. There is only one life for my daughter, and it is good luck to escape Qing Lingxiang's calculation, and the next time I encounter a similar calculation, I may not be so lucky. ”

She watched Pei Xiangrong leave, and only saw Pei Xiangrong at noon on the second day.

Pei Xiangrong pinched her nose with pity and said, "It was the traitor who sold Qingling incense who deceived me with fakes." ”

Pei Ruxi looked at him.

Pei Xiangrong looked back at her calmly, not looking like he was lying.

Pei Ruxi said: "I don't believe it. ”

Pei Xiangrong didn't show a trace of unnaturalness, and said: "Don't think about it so much, Daddy won't deceive you, you are Daddy's most beloved daughter in his life, and there won't be a second daughter who can make Daddy like this." ”

"But Daddy's favorite child is not me Pei Ruxi, it's Pei Chenglie. Pei Ruxi focused on cultivation, his ears didn't hear what was going on outside the window, but his heart was clear.

She looked at Pei Xiangrong and said, "I will get married, even if I am promoted to the fourth level of qi refining within a year." Pei Chenglie will not be married to someone else, even if his qualifications are not as good as mine, and his cultivation is not as serious as mine. ”

Pei Ruxi, who saw things so clearly, made Pei Chenglie's fatherly mask crack, and his face sank: "Who is playing with you about these rights and wrongs?"

Pei Ruxi said: "No one is playing with me. ”

Her tone paused for a moment, and then said: "Last time I drove away a maid, Daddy didn't tell me who instructed her to instigate me, this time Daddy blamed the problematic Qinglingxiang on the profiteers, and it is estimated that it was the same person who calculated me twice. Is it Pei Chenglie's mother or the patriarch's wife who can make Daddy defend like this? The patriarch's wife doesn't like me very much, but her hand can't reach into Daddy's residence. Therefore, it was Pei Chenglie's mother who calculated me, and my father was afraid that I would hate her and Pei Chenglie, and deceived me with lies. ”

Pei Xiangrong: "......"

Pei Xiangrong looked at his daughter and said, "Xixi, you are not yet six years old, you shouldn't be so smart." ”

There was an indelible embarrassment in his proud tone, even if he lied without blinking, he would still feel uncomfortable when his lie was exposed by his daughter.

"Should I pretend to be stupid?" Pei Ruxi asked, "If you can fool me once, you will try to fool me a second time." If you indulge Pei Chengyeol's mother once, you will indulge her a second and third time. Pretending to be stupid will kill me, so I don't pretend to be stupid. ”

“...... In the past, you were deliberately embarrassing Daddy. Pei Xiangrong remembered Li Jieyu's face crying and begging for his forgiveness, and it was a little difficult to face Pei Ruxi's clear gaze, "Your brother's mother promises not to beat your idea......"

"I don't believe it. Pei Ruxi said.

"Daddy will compensate you, do you say it's okay?" asked Pei Xiangrong.

"I just want Daddy to punish her. Pei Ruxi insisted.

Pei Xiangrong really had no choice, there was only one daughter of the seventh degree of water spirit root, and the beautiful woman wanted as much as she wanted, he said: "In the past, Daddy made an exception for you, you don't have to let Daddy down in the future." ”

In the afternoon of this day, Li Jieyu unfortunately fell seriously ill and died before the end of the year.
