Chapter 11 The Visitor
It wasn't until Chu Xiaowen walked out of the wind and rain building that the drinkers woke up from the sword just now, and the hall immediately exploded like a pot, and there was a lot of discussion.
"The children of the Chu family are really not ordinary people. Someone sighed.
Immediately, there was contempt again: "What do you know, the children of the Chu family are naturally extraordinary, but have you ever seen a person in the Taixuan Realm who can swing a sword so quickly?"
"Hey, as if you can see it clearly, your cultivation is just about the same as mine. The man immediately retorted.
Chu Xiaowen's sword was indeed too fast, and people couldn't see his sword path clearly at all, but even those who didn't cultivate the wine guests, the people who could come to Fengyulou were people with status, and when they were talking, they had already sent someone to inquire about this Chu family's disciple.
The master who cultivated in the realm of heaven and man, and who could also see Xiaowen's sword clearly, glanced at the young men of the Chu family who were still immersed in disbelief, quietly left his seat, and also checked out and left.
Bai Xi had already recovered from the shock, he looked at his broken wooden sword in disbelief, he didn't expect that he would be defeated, defeated so completely, in vain a strong fear filled up, making him quietly look at the second floor with difficulty from the corner of his eye.
On the second floor, Chu Xingxian and the others had cold faces, glanced at Bai Xi without the slightest emotion, left the window silently, and sat back in their seats.
The biggest humiliation is to ignore it, and at this time, Chu Xingxian and the others obviously ignored Bai Xi's existence, making the young man on the stage cold in his hands and feet, and on the first day he entered Chujiazhuang, he seemed to usher in his own death sentence.
Chu Li looked at Bai Xi, whose face was pale, and thought that the blow he had received from his defeat to Chu Xingxian was too great, so he was relieved: "Senior Brother Bai Xi, victory and defeat are a common thing, even if you lose today, but from the strength you just showed, you are already much stronger than me, as long as you practice hard, you will definitely be able to achieve brilliant achievements." β
Bai Xi looked at Chu Li, and suddenly felt that this young family master was too naΓ―ve, in fact, sometimes, ignorance is the reason for disgust.
But he didn't dare to say it, and he didn't dare to express his dissatisfaction with the young master of the Chu family, so he just nodded, hugged his fists towards the second floor and said, "Bai Xi has something to do, I'm afraid I can't have a drink with a few senior brothers, please forgive me." β
No one answered him, and no one appeared at the window, and Bai Xi's face became more and more pale.
Chu Li said in surprise: "What is the matter with Senior Brother Bai Xi, why did he leave in such a hurry?"
Bai Xi, the young head of the family, naturally didn't dare to offend, so he reluctantly smiled and said apologetically: "I have something urgent, so I won't hinder your interest and say goodbye." β
Saying that, without waiting for Chu Li to stay, he rushed out of the restaurant.
Su Changge didn't dare to speak out, the challenge to Chu Xiaowen was proposed by him and Bai Xi, because Bai Xi's failure also put him in a difficult situation at the moment, and he was so scared that he didn't dare to come out.
No one looked at him, as if there was a cloud of air sitting in the wine table.
Chu Xingxian said with a gloomy face: "I only used one sword, didn't Chu Xiaowen learn decent swordsmanship, or is Bai Xi really a waste." β
No one answered him, but everyone knew that Bai Xi was naturally not a waste, and few of the people present could be stronger than him, but in the same way, they also realized that Chu Xiaowen, who had always avoided trouble, was also not a waste, because Chu Xiaowen's sword was so fast that they couldn't see it clearly.
At this time, Chu Feng became calm and said, "Actually, Chu Xiaowen is not as powerful as you think. β
The cultivation and age here are the highest in Chu Feng, and at this time, this sentence immediately attracted the attention of the others, and Chu Luo asked puzzledly, "Did Brother Chu Feng see something?"
Chu Feng looked at the people present and said with a smile: "Chu Xiaowen has not learned the sword spectrum, and his cultivation is not high, the sword he just now is just the simplest upward teasing, and the mysterious power attached to the wooden sword is so small that it is almost imperceptible, just because he has no swordsmanship, so he can focus on the most basic movements, which is why he has the current speed." β
"Martial arts in the world, only fast is not broken. Chu Feng saw the others' brows furrowed, and continued: "Only because of a quick word, can you use the power beyond your own cultivation to cut Bai Xi's sword. But his low cultivation and not having learned swordsmanship are also his fatal points, no matter how fast the sword is, as long as it is rolled with more powerful force, it has no meaning. So just now, Chu Xiaowen was taking it by surprise, and Bai Xi was too light on the enemy, if Bai Xi was given another chance, defeating Chu Xiaowen would still be a sure thing. β
The faces of the others immediately turned from gloomy to sunny, that's right, Chu Xiaowen was taken by surprise, as long as he understood this, Chu Xiaowen was still a very weak waste.
Chu Xingxian smiled, raised his chopsticks and said to Su Changge: "Come, Senior Brother Su, try this braised carp, this is a famous dish of Fengyulou." β
Su Changge's face improved a lot, and he also figured out the reason for Bai Xi's defeat, at this time, he was like a death row prisoner who was suddenly pardoned on the execution ground, and he almost thanked him with gratitude.
Liu Meixue, who was sitting next to Chu Xingxian, saw everyone's smiles, and suddenly felt that the room was extremely cold, and couldn't help but shrink her shoulders again.
Chu Xiaowen followed the carriage into the crooked mountain road, and a purple shadow in front of him was squatting on the ground, holding his cheeks with both hands, boringly counting the ants that crawled out of the ant hole on the side of the road, and when he heard the sound of the wheels, he looked up, and immediately stood up happily, and floated on the horse in a few steps, and sat next to Chu Xiaowen.
"What's the matter, what about the rouge of Nifang Pavilion, where is it hidden?" As soon as Zun Wuyi sat down, he immediately reached out and rummaged through Chu Xiaowen's body.
Chu Xiaowen frowned, knocked off the other party's hand, turned his head to look behind, and the goods in the carriage were piled high, covering the sight of those behind him.
Chu Xiaowen snorted: "Even if you give it to you, you won't be able to use it." β
Zun Wuyi wrinkled his nose, his perfectly mature face was more playful, and said, "I can't use it, can't I see it, I haven't seen what rouge looks like for so many years." β
Zun Wuyi spread her hands as far as she could to indicate the length of the vintage, but then she sniffed her nose and asked, "What smell?" β
Chu Xiaowen shook his head: "I don't know, maybe you smelled it wrong." β
"There can't be anything wrong, it's the bird's nest cake that Xiangjiao Xi asked you to buy, right, where is it?" Zun Wuyi began to stretch out his hand to rummage on Chu Xiaowen's body again, of course, he was constantly slapped away by Chu Xiaowen's slender hand that didn't know how to check.
"If you have the money, then you can buy a box of rouge, or you can buy bird's nest cake. Zun Wuyi's eyes stared at the place where Chu Xiaowen put the silver, and he didn't know how many times he mentioned rouge and bird's nest cake along the way.
Chu Xiaowen ignored her, pushed open the door and walked into the courtyard.
"I'm back. β
"I'm back too. Zun Wuyi then said to the stove.
"Remember to wash your face when you come back, dinner is almost ready. Lin Ke wiped the hot sweat from his forehead and smiled softly at Chu Xiaowen who came in.
"Oh. β
"Good. Zun Wuyi answered, walked to the water tank and said happily to Chu Xiaowen: "What a lovely person, if it was before, I would definitely take her as my maid." Go to the mountains and break the seal, I can let you live a life you never imagined. β
"Hmph. Chu Xiaowen snorted again, this was the attitude he showed the most towards Zun Wuyi.
"Do you like to live this life of being bullied? You should think about your mother. Zun Wuyi said a little angrily.
Chu Xiaowen ignored her, washed his face and helped A-Niang bring the food to the dining table, then took out a small medicine bottle and a piece of silver, put it in front of A-Niang, and said, "This is the medicine given by the doctor, as well as the money to help Xiangjiao run errands today." β
"Alas, if the Qi Replenishing Pill is used for your own use, it will be of great help to you in the future, and I also have a share of the silver, so I should take half of it to buy rouge. Zun Wuyi looked at the two things on the table, and it was a pity to say that it was authentic.
Chu Xiaowen was really speechless for saying that she also had a share in the silver so confidently, but he was used to it, and he didn't want to worry about her.
"The doctor prescribes a pill every day, it must be very expensive, I still don't need it in the future, you see I'm in good health now, the money saved can make you more clothes, count now, and you will have new clothes to wear in winter." Lin Ke put away the silver, but said reluctantly when his rough palm rubbed the smooth medicine bottle.
Chu Xiaowen gulped the rice into his mouth, and said in a vague voice: "I said that this medicine is subsidized by the Chu family's pharmacy, and I often go over to help, and the shopkeeper likes me." β
Lin Ke shook his head and touched the child's head lovingly.
There was a knock at the door.
Chu Xiaowen's eyes were happy, and he immediately jumped up and said, "Uncle Li said in his letter that he would go back to the villa today, and I will open the door." β
Chu Xiaowen didn't swallow a big mouthful of rice yet, so he rushed over to open the wooden door, but it was not the tall man standing outside the door, but Liu Meixue, whose eyes shimmered a little.
Liu Meixue originally knocked on the door with a very scared mood, but when she saw Chu Xiaowen stuffing his mouth full of rice and a half-stiff smile on his face, he immediately couldn't help laughing.
"Is it Brother Li?" Lin Ke's voice sounded, and he also walked out of the house, but after seeing the little girl standing at the door, he couldn't help but be stunned.
"Uncle... Hello aunt. When Liu Meixue saw Lin Ke, she naturally knew that it was Chu Xiaowen's mother, so she hurriedly held back her laughter and saluted the woman.
"Oh, how are you, who is this girl?" Lin Ke looked at Chu Xiaowen strangely, and Zun Wuyi appeared next to her and said to her fiercely: "It's a fox spirit." β
"This is the new junior sister, A-Niang will eat first, let's talk for a while. Chu Xiaowen swallowed half of the rice ball in his mouth hard, turned his head and said.
"Don't worry, the little girl is so good-looking, have you eaten?" Lin Ke walked over with a smile, looking up and down at this innocent and lovely little girl, and the smile on her face became more and more prosperous.
"I... I've eaten it. Liu Meixue just said a word, but immediately a long gurgling sound sounded.
Liu Meixue's originally snow-like face immediately turned redder than a lantern.
"You're welcome, we've just started dinner, so let's go together if you don't mind coarse tea and light rice. Saying that, Lin Ke was not polite, took the little girl's hand and walked into the house.
Liu Meixue looked at Chu Xiaowen with some embarrassment, but the latter just scratched his head helplessly and closed the wooden door.
Zun Wuyi stood at the door of the house, crossed his waist and looked down at the little girl who came over, and said, "I won't let the fox spirit enter the door." β
However, even though she stretched out her hand again, Lin Ke took Liu Meixue and passed through her body step by step.
Zun Wuyi immediately complained to Chu Xiaowen like an angry little daughter-in-law: "I don't agree with you raising a child. β
