Moonlight and wind

In the civilian area of ​​Wisteria Lane near the city gate, in a small courtyard, lights were on in the side rooms.

"Miss, why is the young master of Xueying Hall still lingering around?" The little maid Zi Ling'er was helping Xuanyue undress and serving her to rest.

"Wudu is so small, it's inevitable to meet each other." Xuanyue touched the bracelet on her wrist.

"Is there any news about Zi Zhong recently?" "No," Zi Ling'er recalled, "He hasn't left the mansion for a long time."

"Alas," Xuanyue sighed, "I'm afraid it's because my father has punished me." "Miss, don't blame yourself," Zi Ling'er comforted her, "We did these things voluntarily for you."

As he spoke, he helped Xuanyue to the bed, helped her to sleep, lowered the bed curtains, and went to the couch in the lower room to rest.

"If you don't tell me today, I'm going to beat you to death!" Bursts of wailing came from the woodshed of the Hanlin Mansion.

"I really don't know anything," Zi Zhong, who was covered in wounds, knelt on the ground, tied up, with blood flowing from his face, "Please forgive me, sir!"

"Hmph!" An elderly man sitting on a chair, Uncle Gong, the butler of the Hanlin residence, said, "Come on, keep beating!"

The two servants behind him hesitated. They were good brothers and could not bring themselves to do it.

"Do you want me to do it myself?" Uncle Gong jumped up from his chair in anger. The servant had no choice but to pretend to use the cane to hit Zi Zhong. Zi Zhong couldn't hold on any longer and lay on the ground motionless.

"You are so stubborn," Uncle Gong squatted down, "If you had said it earlier, you wouldn't have to suffer physical pain. Let's stop here today on New Year's Day."

After saying that, he stood up and left. Two servants hurriedly helped Zizhong to lie down on the haystack. "Don't blame Uncle Gong too much," a servant brought a bowl of water to Zizhong's mouth, "Everyone in the mansion knows that you are close to the young lady. Now that the young lady is missing, the adults are furious. Uncle Gong has to pretend to be tolerant."

"I understand all this," Zi Zhong swallowed hard and lay down again, "but I can't betray the young lady!"

There were many beautiful girls in Jinxiufang. In the private room, Miss Yunfang performed a rare dance. The outside of the private room was full of spectators. Wu Haochen, with a faint smile, clapped and cheered for Miss Yunfang who cast a coquettish glance at him.

Shan Zimo felt like his protagonist halo had been taken away from him. "Am I not the protagonist of this time and space?" He was a little puzzled. "I am just an ordinary person? What kind of script is this?"

Seeing his young master in a daze, Shan Boyu leaned over and whispered something in his ear. Shan Zimo stood up and said, "It's getting late. I have to go back to the sect." Then he bowed and was about to leave.

"Young master, it's so late, why don't you rest here with me tonight?" Miss Yunfang said as she came closer. The spectators outside the private room were all surprised.

"Young master is so lucky!" "That's right! I heard that Miss Yunfang is still a virgin!" "Tsk tsk tsk tsk! She's out of reach!" With that, the spectators dispersed.

After hearing this, Shan Zimo felt that he could not stay any longer, so he slipped away and pulled Shan Boyu out of Jinxiufang. He heard Miss Yunfang's mocking voice behind them.

When Shan Zimo and the other arrived at the city gate, it was already closed. They had no choice but to return to the house in Zither Lane. "We can't go back anyway. We can't escape the punishment." Shan Zimo stood in front of the door and shook his head. Shan Boyu had already knocked on the door. The servant immediately ran out of the house to welcome Shan Zimo in.

The Longyin Garden that Yuwenlin built for Shan Zimo has been completed, and even the two large vats are there, but there is no extremely cold water in the vats.

Although it was late at night, Shan Zimo was not sleepy yet, so he sat in the courtyard to meditate and regulate his breathing, while Shan Boyu stood by his side and served him.

Dan Zimo sat cross-legged, practicing internal energy. The essence of heaven and earth around his body merged with his true qi and then flowed into his veins, starting to circulate within his body.

Shan Zimo saw in meditation that the essence of heaven and earth, which was originally blue and glowing, was actually shining with golden light here. The essence of heaven and earth, which was like golden threads, continuously flowed into his body. It was an energy completely different from that of Xueying Hall. This energy was full of kingly aura!

"Maybe it's because it's close to the imperial city." Shan Zimo thought to himself. At the same time, Shan Zimo also noticed that the hostility here was particularly strong, and he had to use more internal strength to internalize the hostility.

Just when Shan Zimo was distracted, Shan Boyu saw the golden energy around the young master flash red. Shan Boyu was about to reach out to wake up the young master who was afraid of falling into the devil's heart, but the golden energy appeared again. He withdrew his hand and stood aside, watching the young master's every move.

Seeing Shan Zimo gathering his inner strength and slowly opening his eyes, Shan Boyu hurried to help him up.

"Yuwenlin has chosen a good place!" Shan Boyu stood up and stretched, and the two of them walked towards the wing room.

After walking a few steps, they heard a rustling sound at the base of the courtyard wall. The two immediately became alert, hid behind the big vat, and looked towards the sound.

After a while, a big snow-white cat jumped out from the grass at the foot of the wall, its eyes glowing fluorescent green, and walked out as if no one was around.

"This cat!" Shan Boyu said in a low voice, "I've seen it in Hanlin Mansion!" Indeed, Hanlin Mansion was just across the street, so it was normal for a cat to run here.

The big white cat had no intention of leaving, and lay at the door of the wing room licking its fur. Dan Zimo and Dan Boyu came to the door, thinking that the big white cat would run away, but it stood up, raised its tail, and rubbed against Dan Zimo's legs.

"It's quite sociable!" Shan Zimo squatted down and touched the big white cat, and the cat immediately started purring.

Shan Boyu pushed open the door, and the big white cat entered the room before Shan Zimo. It turned around the room as if it was inspecting its territory, then jumped onto a chair in the hall, curled up, and fell asleep. The two had no choice but to ignore it and rest, and there was no conversation that night.

Early in the morning, he heard the noise on the street. Shan Zimo glanced at the big white cat who was still sleeping, then walked out of the house and came to Qinglong Street in front of the door. Opposite the Hanlin Mansion was the Hanlin Mansion.

"Young Master," Shan Boyu asked softly, "Should we send the white cat back?" "Don't worry about it for now," Shan Zimo glanced at the tightly closed door of Hanlin Mansion, "If it wants to go back, it will go by itself." The two walked towards the big arena.

"My two lords, you've come quite early today!" The young man, who had tasted the sweetness of success last night, spotted his God of Wealth at a glance and quickly asked them to sit at the square table in the middle of the arena.

"There must be a marriage proposal today, right?" Shan Zimo sat down and looked at the stage. "Yes!" The waiter wiped the table skillfully, "The ladies seeking marriage proposals are here, and the lady here today is one of the richest girls in Wudu!" Although he said this, he did not neglect his work at all.

"It is said that we have to recruit someone with martial arts skills at the level of Wu Zong! The requirements are not low! Young master, please have some tea!" After saying that, he ran towards the arena.

"Wu Zong?" Shan Zimo looked at Shan Boyu, "We should let Zi Yu try. I think he's not young anymore!"

"Young Master, please stop worrying about it!" Shan Boyu shook his head, "You have a lot of troubles of your own, and you still care about others!"

"What's my problem?" "In one year you will be the consort of the Wu Kingdom!"
