At the Meditation Lake.
The two of them stood on the surface of the water, separated by ten steps.
Zheng Fugui sized him up again. When he saw that the aura he emitted was still at the fourth tier of the Zongshi realm, he felt at ease. However, he still asked, “Have you eaten that Heaven Rank medicinal pill?”
“Is it related?”
“I was afraid that you would hide your cultivation.”
Zhang Ronghua rubbed his nose. He was already at the seventh level of the Heaven Tier, and he could subdue him with one move. His hands were itching, and he wanted to beat him up.”No, I haven’t.”
After receiving confirmation, Zheng Fugui was elated.””There’s no point in just sparring.”
“Are you sure?”
“Listen to me!”
He said the words he had prepared. As long as he could tie with Zhang
Ronghua, it would be his win. The prize was five flasks of Heavenly Jade Brew.
“Sure! What if you lose?”
“I won’t lose!”
Stepping forward, Zheng Fugui took the initiative to attack. He didn’t dare to hold back in the face of his cousin. Boundless internal energy erupted from his body, shocking the monstrous waves. He used the Mountain River World Suppression Fist to control the huge waves, forming a huge fist light that violently smashed over.
Zhang Ronghua pointed out his shortcomings, “It’s just a form without meaning. ‘”‘
He also threw a punch, using only the strength of a second tier Zongshi realm. It was a simple punch that carried the power of mountains and rivers. It was majestic and vast, breaking his fist technique and colliding with his fist.
“Not bad!”
Bang!
Zheng Fugui was sent flying and fell into the lake.
He retracted his palm.
“You’ve lost,” Zhang Ronghua laughed.
He popped his head out of the water with a bitter face.”
“Cut the crap! At night, I want to eat fish, give me a fishing rod to catch a big fish that weighs more than five catties.”
He dived into the water and raised the fish he caught.”This won’t do?”
“Use the fishing rod!”
With a tap of his foot, he landed at the pavilion.
After a while.
Zheng Fugui obediently took a fishing rod and stared at the fishing line. He muttered,””Fish, quickly bite the hook…”
He sat on the stone bench.
Zhang Ronghua took out a banana, peeled it, and ate it.
“Give me one.”
Zheng Fugui threw one to him and chewed on the banana. He thought about what happened last night and asked again, ‘”Why were you unhappy when you came back yesterday?”
“It’s nothing.”
Looking at the lake, Zhang Ronghua fell into deep thought. When he had first entered the Eastern Palace to replace his father, he had only wanted to slack off and take advantage of the situation. He had been trying his best to cultivate and improve his cultivation, which was what he had done.
Over the years, they had relied on their powerful talent, talent, and unorthodox methods to cultivate to the point where their skills were close to the Dao. They had a strong foundation, but as they interacted with each other, especially during their last trip to the Imperial Palace, they met the ancestor and obtained the Black Yellow Heaven Opening Art. It was as if a door had been opened.
Before this, with his status, he would not have been able to come into contact with such a divine power. However, in the imperial palace’s arsenal, he had obtained it with his heaven-defying talent and luck. This made him feel reverence in his heart.
Later on, when he escorted Ji Xueyan back to her hometown to pay respects to her ancestors, he first saw the Netherworld Ancient Insect, then Uncle Zhong. Each of them was more terrifying than the last. If it wasn’t for his powerful cultivation technique that could restrain the Netherworld Ancient Insect, he would have been devoured by them even if he attacked with all his might.
These days, whenever it was late at night, Ji Xueyan’s figure would always appear in his heart. He would think of her beauty, her knowledge, her knowledge, and especially her mesmerizing eyes, making him unable to forget her.
The scene of him using his mouth to detoxify the poison kept appearing in his mind.
He knew that this thought was very dangerous. If he did not do it well, he might get himself involved. The more he suppressed it, the more it would rebound. It was fine when he was busy. He focused on his work and did not think about her.
Just like now, whenever he was free, he would think of her again.
“Did I really fall in love with her?”
His body’s instinct answered his thoughts.
Subconsciously, he took out the jade flute that Ji Xueyan had given him and blew on it. It was a beautiful scene, but there was also a hint of worry and complicated emotions. It was clearly very conflicted.
Seeing that his cousin was distracted.
Zheng Fugui’s eyes lit up as he looked at the school of fish swimming around the hook, not biting the hook. He wondered if he should cheat. What if he found out and asked him to fish again?
For a moment, he did not dare to make a move!
Grand Tutor Manor.
He wasn’t the only one who was confused. Ji Xueyan was as well.
After she returned from the old mansion, she did not go to the place. She had been staying at home. On the surface, she was reading books to cultivate her righteousness, but only she knew what was going on.
These days, she realized something very dangerous. She seemed to have fallen in love with Zhang Ronghua. From time to time, she would think of the scene of him using his mouth to help her detoxify.
She Imew that this was not right. It was against etiquette and her upbringing. It was not something a good woman should do, but she could not control herself.
This idea was very dangerous. She was the daughter of the Grand Tutor, the fiancée of the Crown Prince, and the future mother of the Great Xia Kingdom. Once the matter was exposed, the Grand Tutor’s face would be completely lost, and her reputation would be ruined.
With the power of the Grand Tutor’s Residence, although they could suppress it, they would become a joke. Their lifetime of scandals could never be erased.
Zhang Ronghua and the rest of the family would also be killed.
He could only bury this thought in his heart and not dare to show it.
Sometimes, she also thought, if she was just a girl from an ordinary family, how good would it be? Would she be able to be with him?
However, there were not so many ifs in the world. When they enjoyed the top resources that others envied, they were destined to shoulder this responsibility.
His mind was in a mess. He couldn’t read anymore. He put it aside and stroked the zither. He remembered that Zhang Ronghua had played it last time. The corners of his mouth curled up subconsciously and he smiled from the bottom of his heart.
Her expression changed, and she quickly put away her smile. She returned to her noble, cold, and otherworldly appearance. Her confused eyes gradually brightened.”He saved me, so I have a good impression of him! But that was all. She didn’t like him!”
She calmed herself down and placed her ten slender fingers on the strings. Just as she was about to play the zither, the beautiful and sad sound of the flute came from the other side of the lake.
“It’s him!”
He looked over instantly, and his mind, which had just been adjusted, became chaotic again.
He looked at the lake and stared straight at it.
Footsteps sounded from behind, and Yue Ya walked over.”Miss, Master is calling you over.”
“Yes.”
Ji Xueyan replied and stood up. Her face was expressionless, and no one could tell what she was thinking. She walked towards the study.
After playing the song.
Zhang Ronghua put away the jade flute and turned around. He happened to see Zheng Fugui using his internal strength to control the fishing line and fishing a big fish. He shouted excitedly, Cousin, I caught a fish.”
He turned around.
Their eyes met, and the smile on their faces disappeared.. They took a step back and said weakly, “Can we start again?”
