Chapter 2734: Meeting with Joy on the Outing

The candlelight in the room was extinguished by the wind.

The window was open a crack.

The spring intention in Linzi's streets had withered.

The light from this crack in the sky was like a sword, embedded on Xiang Ling'er's face, making that innocent and lively face have clear light and shadow.

She sat curled up in the tall Grand Master's chair, facing the window. Her action of opening the window a crack made the large chair itself become the scabbard of the light, also divided by the light. Suddenly, she laughed and said, "We are like peeping at others' lives from within a crevice."

Liu Xiu Zhang sat quietly by the window.

The window was open beside her, and she didn't even lift her eyes.

Linzi's fireworks then passed through this gap.

The gongs and drums outside weren't for any extraordinary people or matters.

Just one betrothal letter, one official engagement.

From the Yan family, returning to the Wen family.

Liu Xiu Zhang was embroidering a large red flower, concentrating fully, as if she heard nothing.

"Did your elder brother really obtain the inheritance of Ba Fu Immortal Palace that year?" Xiang Ling'er asked seemingly unintentionally, "Is that why Tian An Ping killed him?"

Liu Xiu Zhang slowly picked up the needle. "I only heard my elder brother mention it once and knew the name of this Immortal Palace. I'm not sure if he obtained the inheritance or if it was really seized by Tian An Ping."

"But since Ba Fu Immortal Palace appeared and is exactly overseas. It has always been hidden very deeply in the past."

"Then I will definitely insist that it was Tian An Ping. No matter who comes, I will say this."

"This is not me fabricating it. I also have no evidence, but I remember hearing my elder brother say this. If it's false, then my elder brother said it wrong, although it insults his posthumous name. He is dead, he will not care anymore. I am alive, but too weak, I cannot care for him."

Liu Xiu Zhang's voice was very gentle. When she spoke, there was a kind of dense feeling like fine cow hair rain.

Xiang Ling'er had practically watched her grow up. For some reason, she felt that her sorrowful willow leaf-like eyebrows had a sharpness like a thin curved knife.

"But you don't go around telling everyone," Xiang Ling'er said.

"If I told everyone, I wouldn't be able to insist that it was him," the red thread flew between Liu Xiu Zhang's fingers.

She still seemed like that woman who would be blown over by the wind, her whole life trembling slightly on her eyelashes. "Liu Xiu Zhang is a weak woman. Although she remembers her elder brother's grievance, she dares not easily say it to the outside world. She is afraid of implicating the entire Liu family. She only dares to complain a little privately and vaguely to her good sister."

Xiang Ling'er looked at her. "That good sister is called Miao Yu Zhi. Although I don't know why she is close to Liu Xiu Zhang, a woman from a fallen family, I think there are not many true feelings involved. Being intimate on the surface takes no effort, and occasionally utilizing her is also harmless."

Liu Xiu Zhang always stared at the flower she was embroidering. "It's best if Shuo Fang Earl knows about this matter, otherwise Cang Shu County Governor probing the way is also acceptable."

"Compared to these two people, perhaps Hua Ying Palace Master can utilize this news better," Xiang Ling'er smiled faintly, "And she also trusts you more."

Liu Xiu Zhang stopped her embroidery for the first time.

She pinched the needle and looked at Xiang Ling'er not fiercely. I still saw pity on that face, only serious. "Just because she trusts me more."

"Because she is someone who treats me with true feelings."

"I will never utilize her."

"I am a minister of Wu You Hall."

This woman sat there, her body slender and her voice deep. "Three Points Fragrance Building can stand in the East Domain, thanks to the face of the former Wu An Marquis, but more importantly, the support of the Hall. Jiang Cabinet Elder is already gone, and the Hall is in Linzi."

"The Hall truly has the appearance of a sage monarch, broad-minded and magnanimous. She treats people sincerely, has a grand vision, and looks at the world with her eyes. Many current matters, temporary gains and losses, are not how much she cares about."

"...But these are absolutely not the reasons for all of you to be insincere."

She even put aside the female embroidery in her hand, turned to face Xiang Ling'er, "If you all still harbor the thought of meeting sources left and right and do not truly revere her, then the future development in the East Domain, it's not worth mentioning."

"I think we are just family! Just telling you some intimate words. Younger sister is like this, it really hurts elder sister's heart," Xiang Ling'er said with resentment, "Opening this building in Linzi may also be your business. Isn't it precisely because we are intimate without gaps and cooperate with our hearts that this world is different, and the Liu family of Fu Feng just regained vitality?"

"If not for the Hall, I would have nothing at all," Liu Xiu Zhang just looked at her seriously, "For the Hall, I can have nothing at all."

"Good, good, good younger sister, I will always stand by your side and think for you. I just said one sentence of nonsense casually, and you are actually so serious!" Xiang Ling'er smiled, "Elder sister will pay attention later, and will no longer speak without restraint——don't be angry with elder sister anymore."

"How can I be angry with you?" Liu Xiu Zhang's voice was also gentle, "I just cherish everything I can possess now, including the Hall, and also including elder sister you."

"Let's go back to serious matters," Xiang Ling'er lifted her jade feet on the Grand Master's chair and crossed them, "This matter of Ba Fu Immortal Palace, even if it's true, it's probably very difficult to affect Tian An Ping. After all, the matter has passed for so long, and your elder brother is also thoroughly dead. He shouldn't have left any effective evidence. Not to mention you are also just a guess."

"It's not necessary to use this matter to kill him. I just hope someone will truly investigate him," Liu Xiu Zhang pinched the needle again, "Tian An Ping is too crazy. He dares to do anything. I believe he also did everything——he certainly cannot stand detailed scrutiny."

"Involving the struggle of Qi land families, we Three Points Fragrance Building are not good to interfere too deeply to avoid being tabooed by the Qi Court. We just left Chu Country and were injured and moved. Our center has not been in the East Domain for long..." Xiang Ling'er explained, "Many matters still depend on you yourself to push. Of course, we are family and will protect you from extra pressure."

Even if there is a contradiction between Liu Xiu Zhang and Tian An Ping, it can be attributed to the struggle of Qi land families. If there is no excuse of Liu Xiu Zhang, Three Points Fragrance Building dares to bare its teeth at the Tian family, and Tian An Ping can directly mobilize troops to flatten it.

"It's okay," Liu Xiu Zhang was very calm. She had learned to cope with herself early, "My time is not precious. I can sit here and slowly waste it."

"But there is one good news," Xiang Ling'er laughed, "Your younger brother Liu Xuan Hu, didn't he always fail to push open the Heaven and Earth Gate? To the extent that the Liu family changed their legitimacy. I reported his situation to the main building. These days there is news back saying that Peach Source Secret Realm has a way!"

Pushing open the Heaven and Earth Gate is a step. It is said to be a dragon rising from the land. On the long cultivation road, it can only be considered as having the qualification to overlook the barrier between Heaven and Man. After the inner mansion and outer building, every realm is crucial, and every realm screens out massive cultivators.

Even in the Liu family that was breathing heavily, one soaring dragon cultivator is not considered much.

Of course, for Liu Xuan Hu himself, this may be a huge life divide.

Liu Xiu Zhang solemnly bowed to Xiang Ling'er, "This matter requires effort. Xiu Zhang will bear the burden alone. Xiu Zhang keeps in heart the care of Ling'er elder sister for our siblings."

"And one good news," Xiang Ling'er smiled, "Heaven Fragrance First Night Lan Er will soon come to Linzi to preside over the affairs here. Although she cannot directly help younger sister kill Tian An Ping for revenge, she can also protect younger sister thoroughly and avoid him being cornered and jumping over the wall."

The advantage of the country system lies in having enough freedom within the rules and being able to be imposing with reason.

But Tian An Ping's strong killing of Liu Shen Tong is a behavior that jumps out of the rules. Liu Xiu Zhang does indeed need to be on guard.

Because today's Tian An Ping has too many choices to kill a member of the Liu family, and fundamentally does not need to bear any price. He might be too lazy to play this long revenge game with Liu Xiu Zhang, unless he finds it interesting.

"With Night elder sister here, I have a bottom in my heart," Liu Xiu Zhang's expression did not change, only said lightly.

Dong dong cang!

The sound of gongs and drums finally rolled over this street.

The marriage proposal has passed, the eight characters have been matched, and then there is the "official engagement".

This is also called "small ding". The matchmaker sends a thin gift and informs the female family, saying that the eight characters are very auspicious.

But what kind of family is the Yan family? The so-called "thin gift" of the Yan family is not too different from the cognition of a general family.

At this time, gongs and drums were already beating, spreading joy.

From the Yan mansion to the Wen mansion, along the way where the matchmaker went out, every household offered their intentions and shared the fortune.

A woman wearing a veil walked on the road, just being given a package of "joy gift"——a small cloth bag embroidered with a gold thread phoenix, inside which were two gold beads engraved with the character "囍", which shone brightly in the sunlight.

The woman received the joy gift and sent out a blessing, "Congratulations to the two newlyweds, may you grow old together, and be forever tied in heart."

Taking it out to see on the spot was not embarrassing, because many people on the street were like this.

But verifying the gift and then blessing was rare.

However, the Yan family people didn't care much. They just looked at her once, then followed the large team and continued to laugh, scattering gifts all the way.

"Forever tied in heart..." Mei Yue wound the gold phoenix joy bag on her fingertip, only feeling that it was really very beautiful.

In fact, this time Three Points Fragrance Building moved to Linzi, it was not only Heaven Fragrance First Night Lan Er.

There was also her, Heart Fragrance First.

Just one bright and one dark, cooperating with each other.

The building master Luo Sha Ming Yue Jing holding the Extreme Bliss Immortal Palace has always been very secret. The silently developing Three Points Fragrance Building is absolutely unwilling to have any conflict with One True Dao, unlike Xu Wang who is so arrogant as to directly put the intact Immortal Palace on the surface and even say to let One True Dao take it——of course, the current One True Dao no longer has the ability to take down Cause and Effect Immortal Palace.

In the previously suddenly launched Nine Palaces Heavenly Sound, the building master also chose to conceal herself.

But with this time the Nine Palaces sounding together, this concealment will necessarily not be able to continue for too long.

Just as Liu Xiu Zhang once heard the name of Ba Fu Immortal Palace and turned her thoughts to link it to Tian An Ping's body, those wise men with enough intelligence will sooner or later deduce the answer to the falling point of the Immortal Palace.

As long as it comes out, it will necessarily leave a trace.

Luo Sha Ming Yue Jing has both Cave Heaven treasures and something like Cave Heaven treasures. Her real strength far exceeds people's cognition. She fundamentally does not need to fear the current One True Dao whose great trend has already passed. The reason why she still wants to try to hide herself has a secret assertion.

Even Mei Yue's current position in the building cannot fully know what the building master seeks. But probing for news about Ba Fu is something she wants to do——Liu Xiu Zhang is overly cautious and has not given any effective clues until now, just insisting that this matter exists. If Three Points Fragrance Building is interested in Ba Fu Immortal Palace, perhaps they want to seek the answer from Tian An Ping themselves.

How could Liu Xiu Zhang say with her mouth that she hopes for Miao Yu Zhi and not expect the reaction of Three Points Fragrance Building?

This woman is not at all like the weak person people imagine, instead she is subtle in mind and exquisite in means. Or rather, after having no one to rely on, she has to be tough, has to be complex.

But compared to Xiang Ling'er's slight dissatisfaction, Mei Yue felt that such a Liu Xiu Zhang was truly capable of accomplishing matters.

Life has many winds and rains.

The weak cannot withstand a single gust of wind and will necessarily be destroyed and broken by the wind.

She lightly swung her finger, listening to the gold bead ring.

Because of the cooperation, the house arrest personally supervised by Fu Dong Xu was also not strict.

The female nun named "Yu Zhen" and Yue Tian Nu returned to Wash Moon Nunnery. The woman named "Mei Yue" came to the East Domain alone.

Walking this road, she saw a lot, but indeed only this joy gift was related to spring.

That graceful figure walked in the crowd.

The gold phoenix joy bag wound on her fingertip swung and swung.

Bao Xuan Jing's sight also moved with it.

He stood in a small alley, surrounded by family servants and maidservants, standing on his toes to look outside, vividly like a naughty young master who had sneaked out to watch the excitement.

Unexpected joy!

"Mei Yue" and "Yu Zhen" have a fundamental difference in identity.

This is not only about the name, nor about belonging to some organization or having some status, but about... they truly have different lives.

Two segments of life unexpectedly both exist!

At least it exists in "cognition", exists in "past".

Bao Xuan Jing believed that even a super extraordinary peak would find it very difficult to see this and know that. It is absolutely impossible to link this charming woman under the thin veil and robe to that talented female nun inside Wash Moon Nunnery.

But he is different.

This is his White Bone Holy Maiden!

It is the Dao Fruit he once prepared for himself when descending to the world with a Dao Child body, used to complete the holy object of the White Bone Holy Body.

It was selected from so many female children, eliminated time after time, chosen time after time, and only obtained from the excellent among the excellent.

How could he possibly be mistaken?

No matter what kind of divine ability or means, what kind of identity cover, the first glance he saw in Chao Wen Dao Heavenly Palace and this glance now, both clearly tell him what he has encountered.

Yesterday he was still complaining that Heaven Dao treated him as an illegitimate son. Now it seems, he still gets the treatment of a favored son.

Going out to see joy, this is not the matter he wished for coming true!

"Young master, young master? You are all so engrossed, when are you planning to get married?" A maidservant teased beside him, with a certain presumptuousness after being intimate.

Bao Xuan Jing didn't mind, only thinking about one problem——

Can he take down this woman without alarming anyone?

The maidservants and family servants beside him were needless to say, already his own people.

In a giant city like Linzi, even an absolute peak strong person cannot watch every corner, because there are too many strong people, and too many nobles. Everyone has their own privacy.

Although Qi Heavenly Emperor borrowed the power of the country to have transcended great power, it is impossible to maintain the state of mobilizing the power of the country at any time, let alone keeping everything in sight. And the dignified Heavenly Emperor, how could he specially care about a nun from Wash Moon Nunnery?

The most important thing is, no one in Qi Country will care about this woman. If she disappears, she disappears.

Relying on the control of the identity of "White Bone Holy Maiden", he also has confidence that even with the current body which is not powerful enough, he can easily solve the Yu Zhen female nun who already has another identity.

Although he is currently in a human body and has not restored his divine body, this Dao Fruit is also of great use.

Bao Xuan Jing grinned, staring at that back who was not aware of the slightest danger and still had a little girl-like idle mood, and slowly lifted his small hand...

Suddenly, a cold chestnut exploded on the back of his head, and the pain made him take a cold breath that rushed to his spirit.

He angrily turned back and saw a big stupid bastard with eagle eyes and a short beard.

This thieving fellow didn't know why he came to Linzi, and didn't know when he squeezed into this alley. All his maidservants and family servants were pushed aside.

He still pretended to smile intimately at him, and even reached out and grabbed his neck, lifting him up like a chicken, "Hey! You boy! What a coincidence! You are Bao Xuan Jing, right?!"
