"Coward. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info" Xiao Yuanying snorted lightly, very disdainful of Xu Beiyou's self-deception.

Xu Beiyou didn't dare to continue to entangle on this topic, so he could only pretend to be stupid and hide the past.

After all, now Xiao Yuanying has resumed his cultivation, and he is in the realm of real immortals, and he can no longer just deal with the sentence "Little girl, what do you know" like at the beginning.

What Xiao Yuanying has to do every day is very boring and monotonous, that is, keep cultivating, if there is nothing special, Xiao Yuanying has to spend eight hours a day to practice his fist intent, if he is in the imperial capital, he has to spend another two hours to go to the study to read and learn the rules and etiquette, this perseverance and determination make Xu Beiyou feel deeply ashamed.

Xu Beiyou recalled that when he was at Xiao Yuanying's age, he seemed to be playing crazy in the village, neither practicing martial arts nor cultivating literature, if compared with Xiao Yuanying, it can only be described as wasting time.

It is no wonder that Xiao Yuanying can achieve the realm of immortals at such a young age, not just because of her immortal qualifications.

After Xu Beiyou sent Xiao Yuanying away, he returned to the Huxin Pavilion and began to think about a question, what kind of person he wanted to become. The invincible sword god in the world, or the free-spirited sword immortal? In the bottom of his heart, he is very eager to become a person like Xie Suqing, and it is not necessary to reach the top, but his identity and status are all lacking, both civil and military, martial arts can destroy cities and pull mountains, and literature and astronomy and geography are omniscient, so Xu Beiyou not only practices swords all day long, treating himself as a reckless man, but also constantly dabbling in the classics of the hundreds of schools, not seeking to be proficient, but seeking to be knowledgeable.

It's like a small tree that is frantically sucking nutrients.

This is the path set by Gongsun Zhongmou and Han Xuan for him, and it is also the path he chooses himself, he understood a truth a long time ago, with the three-foot Qingfeng in his hand alone, the sky is high and the earth is thick, if a sword can't be pierced, then he can only act according to the rules, the world is just a sword realm, and it is too far away from him.

Next, Xu Beiyou's life is also very boring, there is no sound of dogs and horses, and there is no leisure, only one step at a time, the only person who can be contacted on weekdays is Xiao Yuanying, Xu Beiyou now does not dare to regard this girl as Xiao Yuanying at the beginning, after all, everything depends on the fist to speak is a very straightforward and simple truth, who has the big fist has the final say.

In the past few days, Xiao Yuanying will chant a name, Qi Xianyun, this name is naturally thunderous for Xu Beiyou, the first person in the younger generation now, only one step away from the Earth Immortal Realm, and she is also a disciple of Autumn Leaves, according to the law of the rivals of the Daomen and the Sword Sect, she and Xu Beiyou are the rivals of this generation.

Master Shangguan Xianchen was defeated in the hands of the old head of the Daomen sect Zichen, and the master Gongsun Zhongmou was defeated in the hands of the current head of the Daomen Qiu Ye, from this point of view, Xu Beiyou really has no confidence to win against this proud woman of the sky, and from a realistic point of view, the gap between the two in the realm also makes Xu Beiyou unable to see the slightest hope of winning.

However, this time Xiao Yuanying also stood on the same front as Xu Beiyou, she was deeply influenced by Emperor Xiao since she was a child, and she had a lot of prejudice against the people in the Daomen, because the world often put her and Qi Xianyun side by side, she listed defeating Qi Xianyun as one of her goals.

But in all fairness, Xiao Yuanying is probably the first to enter the realm of immortals, but Qi Xianyun is already standing at the peak of the realm of immortals, both of them have learned the first-class methods in the world, and one is from the Taoist family, the other is from the royal family, and there is no shortage of all kinds of magic weapons, according to the principle of art, Tao, and treasure, the two are tied in terms of "art" and "treasure", and in the end, they have to fight hard to achieve the level of the realm, Xiao Yuanying also has little hope of beating Qi Xianyun.

However, before Xiao Yuanying could put this idea into practice, Xiao Zhinan had already returned to Xie Yuan and brought back a guest. Not long after she came back, she sent her personal maid to invite Xu Beiyou to the front hall to meet the guests.

Xu Beiyou came to the main hall of the front yard and found that Xiao Yuanying was also here, and the guest was a woman, a very unusual woman. Just looking at the age of about forty years old, there is not only the calmness of a mature woman after the world, but also the old-fashioned conformity of many years, the whole person is gentle and indifferent, these two originally very conflicting temperaments are perfectly integrated in her body.

Although this woman is no longer in her youth, she can still see the charm of the past, and as she gets older, the grace, majesty and calmness on her body cannot be imitated by ordinary young women in any way. When she came to Xie Yuan, Xu Beiyou found that Xiao Yuanying, who seemed to be fearless on weekdays, showed a nervous demeanor for the first time, just like a naughty boy in a private school who saw a gentleman holding a ring ruler.

All women in high positions pay attention to a temperament, or dignified, or majestic, or kind, or graceful, or even domineering, just like Xiao Zhinan, the princess, Her Royal Highness, even if it is a cloth skirt, it is more noble than the daughter of the average rich family, and the woman in front of her is the same, even if there is not a piece of jewelry on Zhou's body, and her clothes are not very noble, but the gas on her body still crushes Xiao Yuanying, who has not yet become a climate, and I don't know how much higher it is than Gu Yan of the Dark Guard Mansion and the horse face of the Demon Suppression Palace。

Xu Beiyou gave a salute as a junior, and at the same time, his mind turned sharply, secretly guessing the identity of the person in front of him. After all, if you can have this kind of bearing, and let Xiao Zhinan and Xiao Yuanying, the two sisters, treat each other politely, their status will definitely not be low, is it one of the eldest princess and the eldest princess?

The woman leaned slightly sideways and only accepted Xu Beiyou's half-salute, and then returned the salute: "The concubine is in ink, and I have seen Xu Gongzi." ”

One board and one eye, this is Xu Beiyou's first feeling of a woman's voice, which is neutral and peaceful, without the softness that a woman should have, nor the rigidity of a man, and is well versed in the Confucian golden mean.

Xiao Yuanying also respectfully saluted: "Aunt Moshu." ”

Moshu returned the salute again, with only two short words, "County Lord." ”

Xiao Zhinan looked at Xu Beiyou with interest, Xu Beiyou was a wonderful move that she had high hopes for, she didn't expect him to play much role now, what she valued was his future prospects, if he could inherit the Sword Sect, coupled with Han Xuan's identity as an adopted son, the father who had long wanted to include the Sword Sect in his bag would definitely be willing to put down his body to envelop this young man, and his princess daughter would become the biggest bargaining chip.

Before that, if Xu Beiyou could get into the eyes of Aunt Moshu, it would be an unexpected joy. It's just that for now, Aunt Moshu, who is in charge of Peony, doesn't seem to have a high opinion of Xu Beiyou, but this is also reasonable, after all, Xu Beiyou is not Gongsun Zhongmou, and it is also excellent to regard today's events as an experience.

There was nothing substantive about this meeting, it was to let Xu Beiyou be familiar with Mo Shu in front of him, and after a few words of greeting, Mo Shu went to rest first under the pretext of being tired from the journey.

After Moshu left, Xiao Yuanying also left as if he had been amnestied, leaving only Xiao Zhinan and Xu Beiyou.

Xiao Zhinan sat on the main seat, took a sip of the teacup, and asked, "Beiyou, do you think that Aunt Moshu is a little unkind?"

Xu Beiyou hesitated, but nodded slightly.

Xiao Zhinan said with a smile: "Aunt Moshu specializes in teaching rules in the palace, and the most important etiquette, so it is inevitable that she will be a little old-fashioned. ”

"Auntie?" Xu Beiyou asked curiously, "Is it the eldest princess?"

Xiao Zhinan shook his head and said: "Strictly speaking, Aunt Moshu is just a female official in the palace, but just like there is only one Zhang Daban among more than 10,000 eunuchs, there is only one Aunt Moshu among thousands of palace maids and female officials. Later, the emperor's grandfather established Daqi and set up 12 eunuchs, 4 divisions, 8 bureaus and 24 yamen in the inner court, Zhang Daban was nominally in charge of the 24 yamen, but in fact he was only in charge of the 12 eunuchs, and the remaining 4 divisions and 8 bureaus were in charge of the aunt Moshu. Before the emperor's grandmother returned to heaven, she ordered Zhang Daban and Aunt Moshu to supervise the Secret Guard Mansion and Peony respectively. ”

Xu Beiyou couldn't help but speak: "I can actually compete with Mr. Ping'an." ”

Xiao Zhinan said indifferently: "It's not possible to talk about the court, the two of them are already vegetable eaters, and Zhang Daban naturally wants to let Aunt Moshu." ”
