I come to see Bai Yujing today

Chapter 161 Chen Shuijun Enters Beijing

Many osmanthus trees in Xuantianjing have quietly bloomed, and the tiny golden petals are sparkling in the sunlight.

As the breeze blew, the rich fragrance of osmanthus spread and flowed through the entire capital city.

The Mid-Autumn Festival is approaching. Although the capital is far less lively than the Zuochao Festival, it is also filled with a sense of joy.

Chen Shuijun stepped into Xuantianjing amidst the fragrance of osmanthus and the joy of the people in the capital.

Eighteen years had passed, and this was his second time in Beijing.

Nothing in the capital seemed to have changed. The people coming and going on the streets had not changed, and the adults riding in the cars had not changed either.

Chen Shuijun looks a bit more vicissitudes than she did eighteen years ago.

He came from the east, entered the east gate, walked along East Street, and when he looked up, he saw Li Bodu still riding his famous horse [Rusong] not far away, looking at him at the intersection.

It happened that the clouds in the sky blocked the sunlight, and the sky looked a little gloomy, not as bright as when Chen Shuijun entered the city.

Chen Shuijun continued walking and came in front of Li Bodu.

Li Bodu was still riding on his horse, looking down at Chen Shuijun: "Do you know what it means for you to come to Xuan Tianjing now?"

Chen Shuijun said nothing, the breeze blew past her, and her long clothes fluttered.

Li Bodu's expression became more and more solemn.

"The wedding date is approaching, and you are coming to Beijing now, but you are still holding on to some unrealistic fantasies...

But Xuantianjing is a place that follows rules. The engagement has already taken place. If you still want to use the past to blackmail Yinxi, then there is no such thing as rules."

Chen Shuijun's eyes were calm and his expression did not change. He looked up at Li Bodu on his horse, but there was a hint of annoyance in his eyes.

"What are the rules?" he asked, looking up.

"The rule is that I can talk to you while riding on a horse." Li Bodu held the reins and leaned forward: "Chen Shuijun, do you know that General Rongtian is about to enter the realm of creation?
Perhaps before the wedding, he would be able to ride a whale and become a god, completely transcending the mundane world.

How can you compare with him? He has already sent his previous wife back to Chengnan Prefecture. Yin Xi will be the mistress of the general's mansion, which is better than going back to Sunan Prefecture with you to teach."

"Fate..." Chen Shuijun murmured softly, but no one knew what he was thinking.

Li Bodu nodded and said: "General Rongtian had already achieved the perfection of Jade Palace eight years ago. He was ranked 41st on the Riding Whale Monument, but who would have thought that he had already conceived the truth of creation and would be able to completely enter the realm of creation in the near future.

Become another great creator of our Dayu."

It seemed that Chen Shuijun was unwilling to talk to Li Bodu, so he went around the tall horse and continued on his way.

Li Bodu's eyes gradually turned cold, and he said, "Chen Shuijun, have you seen what you look like now?"

"You are already middle-aged, your face is covered with dust, your temples are white... Maybe Yin Xi would not recognize you when he saw you. Life is endless, so why should we be confined to the past? Chen Zhian has made a name for himself in Xuantianjing, but he has also made many enemies.

If Yin Xi had married Si Yuanyan, Chen Zhian would not have died in the capital if he had been protected by a great man of fortune. "

Chen Shuijun stopped and looked at Li Bodu carefully: "I remember half a year ago, when you came to Sunan Prefecture, you told me that Zhian was just a mediocre... bastard.

Now, only half a year has passed, and Zhian is no longer mediocre?"

Li Bodu remained silent.

Chen Shuijun's eyes finally turned a little colder: "I still remember the word bastard. I told you at that time that one day, I will come to you to ask about this word bastard."

Li Bodu looked gloomy. After a few breaths, he shook his head and said, "Chen Zhian is indeed not mediocre, but you asked me today about the word bastard... Isn't he?"

"You and Yinxi decided to spend your lives together in private, without your parents' permission or the words of a matchmaker. Can't the child you conceive be called these two words?"

"Eighteen years have actually allowed General Li, who is at the Jade Palace Realm, to forget so many things." Chen Shuijun flicked his sleeves lightly, "Do you still remember your grandfather's promise, and do you still remember your parents begging and promising me?

Do you still remember the time when Yin Xi asked me to save Li Zhuqiu with tears in her eyes? "

"Eighteen years have passed, and the Li family seems to have completely forgotten that Lord Li, who now holds a high position, once suffered a fatal disaster."

Li Bodu's expression remained unchanged: "The Chengluan Pill was obtained by you and Yinxi together. It is not your personal property. Yinxi is a member of my Li family. Since she found the pill and saved my father's life, how can it be your credit?"

Chen Shuijun suddenly smiled, as if he didn't want to talk to him about this anymore. He just stared at Li Bodu and asked, "General Li, it is said that you have obtained the opportunity of the dragon vein.

But now it seems that your cultivation has not improved at all, and the dragon vein opportunity does not seem to have any effect."

Li Bodu didn't even look at him, wondering why Chen Shuijun brought up this matter.

Chen Shuijun continued, "When I mentioned the word bastard just now, you thought I was fulfilling my promise... but in fact, that's not the case. Even in my heart, I have accumulated some resentment over the past eighteen years. This resentment is like a tide. The longer it accumulates, the stronger the accumulated power will be. One day it will burst out. When that time comes, I will come back to tell you... my child is not a bastard."

Having said this, he walked around the horse and went straight forward.

Li Bodu listened to Chen Shuijun's calm yet powerful voice, and for some reason he suddenly felt irritated.

Looking at Chen Shuijun's back again, it was broad yet straight, as if the past separations and eighteen years of waiting had not broken his spine.

As a result, Li Bodu's irritability immediately turned into resentment.

"Chen Shuijun, your cultivation has indeed improved."

"I have grown from a rough jade to the Xiantian realm... but... at the age of forty, even if the Xiantian realm is broken, how much power can it burst out?"

He said this in a cold voice and suddenly snapped his fingers.

A thick strand of true energy was ejected by him, rushing towards him, and was about to land on the bend of Chen Shuijun's legs.

"You are too weak. So weak that when I want you to kneel down, you can only kneel down."

The true energy went straight ahead, and when it was about to land on Chen Shuijun's knee, suddenly a gust of strong wind flew up and blocked the true energy.

Followed by a dull sound.

The strong wind and true energy completely disappeared.

Li Bodu looked up, only to see Chu Muye still wearing the crane robe, looking at him from afar, with a look of disappointment in his eyes.

Chen Shuijun seemed unaware of Li Bodu's flowing true energy, and still stepped forward and walked to Chu Muye's side.

The two walked away side by side.

Li Bodu lowered his head and thought of Chen Shuijun's words.

He had obtained an extremely rare opportunity to obtain dragon veins since he was young.

At that time, the senior officials in the court all said that he had a bright future and would be able to step into good fortune one day.

Nearly twenty years had passed, and the opportunity of the dragon vein was still hanging in his innate womb, and no matter how he refined it, it was of no avail.

But... Chen Shuijun is only at the innate realm, how could he easily see through his dragon vein opportunity, and how could he easily see through that his cultivation has not improved at all?
Li Bodu pondered for a long time, and suddenly thought of Si Yuanzhen again. Thinking that he was about to ride the whale to create destiny, he couldn't help feeling a little lonely.

He and General Rongtian are contemporaries.

When they were young, people in Xuantian Capital often compared them. At that time, they were evenly matched. Later, he had the opportunity of dragon vein, and people in the capital said that he would surpass Si Yuanzeng.

But time flies. Looking back now, Si Yuanyan made great progress along the way, achieved great military exploits, and was even awarded a title of nobility.

He was even named on the Riding Whale Monument and had achieved the Heavenly Palace Realm of Jade Palace Perfection. Now, he was actually about to enter the realm of creation.

Looking back at myself...

Thinking of this, Li Bodu turned his horse around and went to Longmen Street first.

The Li family's foundation is weak, and only with the support of a great man of fortune can they preserve their current foundation.

Chu Muye and Chen Shuijun walked side by side.

Chu Muye seemed a little guilty and stole a glance at Chen Shuijun from time to time.

Chen Shuijun apologized: "Zhi'an has arrived in Xuantianjing and should still rely on your care. Thank you for the past few months."

Chu Muye dodged his gaze and said, "Chen Zhian doesn't need my care. In just a few months, he has already made a name for himself in Xuantianjing.

But... just as Li Bodu said, he has made many enemies in Xuantianjing. If you come to the capital now, you are actually holding him back."

"I'm holding my son back?" Chen Shuijun smiled and said, "My son has made a name for himself, so as a father, I naturally have to come and take a look.

Besides, I'll just take a look and do some things before leaving, so I won't hold him back."

As he said this, he looked up at the sky.

The clouds that had obscured the sun had drifted away, and the autumn sunlight shone down, shining into his eyes.

Chen Shuijun narrowed his eyes and looked towards Longmen Street.

In the Hongdou Courtyard on Longmen Street, Li Yinxi, who was cutting cloth, seemed to have noticed something. She walked out of the house and looked up at the sun in the sky.

The warm autumn sun shone on her body, bringing a slight smile to her face.

Li Yinxi turned and looked at the red beans she planted.

After many years, these red beans are finally ripe.

-

In the Xie family's villa in South City, Xie You was personally pouring tea for Chen Zhian.

Chen Zhian was wearing a long black robe and had long black hair tied up behind his head and fixed with an ink-colored jade hairpin. A few strands of hair fell on both sides of his cheeks, showing his clear facial contours, sword-like eyebrows slanting into his temples, and he looked very heroic.

In addition, Chen Zhian is tall, with broad shoulders and a narrow waist, and his posture is as straight as a pine tree, which makes him look even more heroic.

Xie You suddenly felt a little emotional.

He remembered that the first time he saw Chen Zhian was during the competition at the Zuochao Festival.

At that time, Chen Zhian did not have such courage. In just over a month, Chen Zhian's cultivation had already entered the Xiantian realm...

"As a commoner, I can achieve such success. I really can't help but admire it."

Xie You sighed in his heart, but then he became more worried: "This Chen Zhian's cultivation speed is amazing. If he continues to improve in the future, he will inevitably become a stumbling block on the road of the Beitu brothers."

He thought so.

Chen Zhian, however, looked from afar at Xie Wujiu, who was planting pear blossoms with his own hands in the Xie family's villa.

Xie You at the side said with a smile: "Brother Wujiu is much older than me and loves pear blossoms the most. He planted many pear blossoms in the courtyard of Longxi Mansion. In spring, the pear blossoms are like snow, and the fragrance is fragrant and beautiful."

"Now that he has come to Xuantianjing, he will plant pear blossoms in this courtyard himself."

Chen Zhian looked up and saw a tall and majestic figure in brocade clothes shoveling the soil and planting pear blossoms himself. He was a little surprised.

"My father once said that my mother loved pear trees the most, so he planted many pear trees in the yard, probably to express his longing for her.

Xie Wujiu also likes pear blossom trees, is it because his mother likes them too?"

Xie Wujiu planted the trees very seriously, his calm eyes were full of tenderness, and he even bent down to bury the soil with his hands.

Even if the priceless clothes on his body were stained with dust, he would not care.

"Could it be that Xie Wujiu really came to Xuan Tianjing just because of the marriage between the Si and Li families?"

Chen Zhian had many questions in his mind.

Xie Wujiu finally finished planting two trees. He then stood up, brushed off the dirt on his body, and looked towards Chen Zhian.

Their eyes met.

Xie Wujiu's eyes seemed to become softer.

The maidservant beside him brought a jade basin for washing. Xie Wujiu brushed off the dust on his clothes and washed his hands, appearing quite approachable.

What surprised Chen Zhian even more was...

After Xie Wujiu washed his hands, he even had a smile on his face and nodded slightly at the maid.

The maid was flattered and bowed her head.

Chen Zhian looked at this person and suddenly felt that it was a little unreal.

The children of noble families have always treated these maids and servants as nothing.

This cannot be blamed on these children of aristocratic families. Since they were born, they have felt that they are naturally noble, and their ideas have been set.

Perhaps in their eyes, these maids and servants are not actually the same as them.

For these young men from aristocratic families, ignoring the lowly is as common as ignoring the grass and trees on the roadside.

For example, Princess Shang Qiu, who was always kind and good-tempered, would never nod to express her gratitude for the service of the palace maids.

However, Chen Zhian found it a bit strange that Xie Wujiu was so polite to the maid.

Why is this kind of thing mixed in Xie Wujiu's knowledge of the aristocratic family?

At this time, Xie Wujiu had already walked up and sat opposite Chen Zhian.

He looked at Chen Zhian carefully, nodded and said, "He looks quite like your mother."

Chen Zhian was silent for a few breaths before he spoke: "This is strange... Many people in Xuantianjing say that I am Xiao's father."

This is indeed the case. Chen Zhian only has a little bit of his mother's shadow between his eyebrows. Apart from that, he looks more like Chen Shuijun.

Because of this, when he went to the Li Mansion to paint for his mother for the first time, even the old lady Li did not recognize him.

But Xie Wujiu said that he looked very much like Li Yinxi, which surprised Chen Zhian even more.

"After not seeing each other for eighteen years, maybe Xie Wujiu has forgotten what my mother looks like."

As Chen Zhian thought about this, he suddenly asked himself, "My father has also not seen my mother for 18 years, but will he forget what she looks like?"
