Men wear women, and Lu Ding is forced to marry

While delivering the invitation to the Hehuan Sect, the Kunlun Sword Sect had already begun arranging the wedding.

Gu Chenzhou is temporarily living in Huaming Pavilion, the old residence of Ye Lingyun. Not far away are the Gongfa Pavilion and the Jingshi Room.

The environment here is quiet, with a pavilion and a pond. Bright red maple trees surround the pond, and the water reflects the colorful maple leaves. The scenery is beautiful and makes people linger.

The snow lotus in the pond was in full bloom, a slight chill spread from the lotus, and the entire surface of the pond looked fairy-like.

Snow lotus is used as medicine. At this moment, someone is holding a box by the pond to get it. It must be very precious.

After walking through the pavilion and crossing a small bridge, he arrived at his current residence. The stepping stones in the yard were polished from rich green stones, which had a thorough texture and were integrated with the green plants, full of charm. Gu Chenzhou opened the door. The small house was not so luxurious, but clean and tidy everywhere.

like very much.

He walked in and observed for a while, and someone called him softly from outside.

When I opened the door, I saw a man standing at the door, holding a tray with exquisite tea sets and tea leaves on it.

The boy was about thirteen or fourteen years old, very well-behaved and shy, with fair and clean skin. There was a faint fluctuation of spiritual energy on his body, and he wore a magical instrument ornament on his wrist, so he must be a cultivator.

The Sword Sect is truly a large sect, even servants can practice.

He bowed and said softly, "My name is Che Yu'er. I have now reached the middle stage of Qi training. The sect master sent me here to serve you."

Gu Chenzhou's face froze and he almost fainted.

It was too much to be served by someone younger than him. He took a deep breath, managed to keep his expression, and said, "Send you... How old are you? Are all the servants in the Sword Sect... your age?"

The young man bowed his head and said, "My brothers are all older than me."

Gu Chenzhou was even more restrained than him, and wondered how he could get him to go back and change for someone older, or at least an adult.

But just as he was thinking about what excuse he could use to avoid hurting the young man's heart, the other party seemed a little uneasy and said, "Sir, can I come in?"

Gu Chenzhou: "...then...come in first."

The young man entered the house with proper manners, soft steps, and was silent and silent.

Gu Chenzhou observed the servant, but he did not dodge. Instead, he knelt down and made tea for him.

He was taciturn and unenthusiastic, and he went about his own business neither arrogantly nor humbly, with an extremely graceful demeanor.

There was only a slight sound of water in the room.

Someone knocked on the door again. Gu Chenzhou was stunned for a moment, but the kneeling servant reacted quickly, stood up calmly and opened the door.

"Elder Nanxing."

He took a step back and a simple and neat woman dressed in black came in. Gu Chenzhou quickly stood up from his seat to greet her.

His face was very conspicuous, and Nanxing's eyes were locked on him as soon as he came in.

What a beautiful face.

She stood with her hands behind her back and told him the purpose of her visit. After listening, Gu Chenzhou realized that she was here to check his health.

It turned out to be a premarital examination.

Every step of the marriage has its own meaning. Elder Nanxing used his spiritual power to check the body to make sure there were no strange symptoms. The faster the check, the fewer problems there were, and the longer it took, the more it proved that Elder Nanxing had discovered something suspicious.

This process has existed since ancient times. For medicine practitioners, the meridians of the human body contain great mysteries, so during the diagnosis and treatment process, the most common method is to use spiritual power to travel through the meridians of the whole body, not letting go of any details.

He silently extended his hand.

Nanxing went straight to the point. She took out a handkerchief, put it on his wrist, and placed her fingers on it.

After about three or four breaths, Gu Chenzhou felt a warm spiritual power surging into his body, gradually flowing throughout his body.

He controlled his hand that wanted to be withdrawn, and his breathing slowly lost rhythm.

"Relax."

Nan Xing saw his nervousness. As the only medicine-practicing elder in the Sword Sect, she had seen many difficult patients, but she had never seen one who was so timid and slow in reaction.

Being a little slow has its benefits. After a while, Elder Nanxing noticed that he was distracted and seemed to be daydreaming about something, so he was no longer nervous.

She examined it carefully, her brows slightly furrowed.

It's been a long time.

Gu Chenzhou asked: "...Is there something wrong?"

Elder Nanxing said nothing, still frowning.

Gu Chenzhou was nervous.

I'm most afraid that the doctor won't talk, okay? If she sighs...

"Have you ever tried to practice before?"

Gu Chenzhou stared at her blankly, "...Yes."

"But I have never been able to draw Qi into my body. Maybe I don't have the talent for cultivation."

Nan Xing seemed to be amused by his naivety, and with a slight curl of the corners of his lips, he said simply, "There is no one who cannot practice. You will understand in the future."

Gu Chenzhou felt relieved at once, thinking that this elder was quite good at comforting people. If there really were no people who couldn't practice, then what was wrong with so many mortals? Could it be that they were too poor to practice? !

Don't be too ridiculous.

She took back the handkerchief and said gently, "There's nothing else wrong. You're not getting enough energy and blood. I'll give the prescription to Che Yu'er and ask him to make some medicine for you."

Gu Chenzhou sent Nanxing away and the room became quiet.

There was nothing serious wrong with his body, and no matter how he asked Elder Nanxing about the situation where he was unable to practice, he always got the same answer, no problem at all.

Although he didn't know whether it was true or not, Gu Chenzhou felt that his mood did improve slightly because of what Elder Nanxing said.

There is an opportunity to practice.

He closed the door and pulled the window shut. The room became dark, which made him feel safe. He took off his shoes and climbed into bed. It was as if he was sinking into a cloud, soft, warm, clean and comfortable.

With a somewhat excited mood, he took a drowsy rest in the afternoon. When he woke up, the room was dark and only an oil lamp was on outside the bedroom. Gu Chenzhou raised his eyes and saw that the servant named Che Yuer was still guarding.

...He is such a competent and responsible young man.

He sat up and the other party came over to him, helped him put on his clothes and shoes, and brought him the boiled medicine soup.

vomit.

Yue.

Alas.

No one would be forced to take medicine as soon as they wake up.

Gu Chenzhou took the soup bowl with both hands, then put it back on the small table next to him with both hands, frowning to express his strong refusal.

Che Yuer looked at him.

Gu Chenzhou said seriously: "...I'll drink it later."

Che Yuer still didn't say anything.

Gu Chenzhou felt guilty: "I can smell the bitter taste of the medicine."

Che Yuer left.

Gu Chenzhou leaned over to look at his back, and breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that he had finally dealt with it.

But he didn't expect Che Yu'er to come back, bring a few plates of desserts and put them next to him, and then said: "I brought you some sweets, which will ease the bitterness a little."

Seeing that the bowl of soup was about to return to his hand, Gu Chenzhou said, "You also said it was relieved, but it's still bitter."

Che Yuer was in deep thought, with a deep expression on her snow-white face.

Fortunately, I am young and easy to fool.

Gu Chenzhou took a look at the dark medicine soup and said, "How about we take half each? You were sent by the sect leader, but you still have to pass my test. If you help me share the medicine, I will let you stay."

Che Yuer: “Really?”

Gu Chenzhou: "Really."

Che Yuer didn't say anything, took another bowl, and really poured out half of it.

He held the bowl and drank the medicine in one gulp. He retched because of the bitterness and his nose wrinkled.

Gu Chenzhou was holding the bowl of medicine and could see the expression on his face clearly.

He buried his face in the bowl, biting the spoon and laughing for a while. But soon, so quickly that he didn't even notice, the corners of his lips slowly calmed down.

It seems that the happiness just now no longer exists.

He put the rest back on the table and said, "I told you it's bitter, why don't you just forget about it today? Next time you boil it, try adding something else to get rid of the bitterness."

After listening to this, Che Yuer nodded.

Gu Chenzhou breathed a sigh of relief, and the next moment he saw the young boy pick up the soup bowl he had put down, scooped a spoonful of medicine to his lips, and looked at him quietly.

Gu Chenzhou pursed his lips, not wanting the potion to enter at all.

The two of them stared at each other quietly, their eyes wide open, in a stalemate.

Gu Chenzhou: "......"

...No...Why are you so persistent? !
