Chapter 249 Xiao Fengming

A few days later, the sun was shining brightly and the breeze was blowing, perfect weather for a trip. Hu Tao happily pulled Lin Huan to a quiet and peaceful courtyard, where Xingqiu and Chongyun often met.

"Xingqiu, Chongyun, here I come!" Hu Tao's clear voice like a silver bell echoed happily in the courtyard.

Hearing the voice, Xingqiu immediately came out to greet him. He was graceful and polite, bowing with his hands clasped in a gentle and friendly smile, "Master Hu, how come you have the leisure to come here today?" As he spoke, his curious and friendly eyes naturally fell on Lin Huan who was beside Hu Tao.

Chongyun followed closely behind Xingqiu. He stood as straight as a pine tree, and perhaps because of his reserved nature, his expression was a little reserved. He clasped his hands together, bowed respectfully, and said, "Master Hu." Then, he turned his gaze to Lin Huan and nodded slightly as a greeting.

Seeing this, Lin Huan raised the corners of his mouth, revealing a light smile, and responded politely. Her eyes slowly looked at the two people. Xingqiu was wearing a fine green shirt, with a jade pendant with exquisite carvings and delicate patterns on his waist. His every move showed his elegance, as if he was a modest gentleman walking out of a book. Looking at Chongyun again, he was wearing an ice-white short-sleeved shirt that was tailored to fit him, which perfectly set off his agile figure. He carried a big sword behind him, and the decoration on the hilt was simple and elegant. There was a sharp heroic spirit between his eyebrows, just like a cold sword in winter, the edge was restrained but still eye-catching.

Xingqiu was the first to break the brief silence. With a smile on his face, he said in a clear voice, "This must be Miss Lin Huan. I feel honored to meet you today."

Lin Huan nodded gently, "Master Xingqiu, I have long heard of your great name."

When Xingqiu heard this, a glimmer of surprise flashed in his eyes, "Oh? Miss Lin has heard of my name?"

Lin Huan smiled and said, "Hall Master Hu often talks about you two in front of me. Hall Master Hu said that Master Xingqiu is a man of both talent and martial arts, with profound knowledge and outstanding writing skills; while Master Chongyun comes from a famous family, has a chivalrous heart, and is full of righteousness."

After hearing Lin Huan's words, Xingqiu smiled modestly, closed the folding fan in his hand, and said, "Master Hu, you are really too kind. Although Xingqiu has learned martial arts, they are just fancy moves, which are OK for self-defense, but not worthy of being worthy of being presented in a formal hall. As for literature, Xingqiu is only a rough acquaintance, just reading a few more books and writing some articles for self-entertainment in his spare time. How can I dare to say that I am talented and knowledgeable? Miss Lin, to be praised so highly by Master Hu, must be extraordinary."

Chongyun, who was standing by, crossed his arms and nodded slightly. His expression was serious, but his ears were slightly flushed. “Master Hu, you are too kind. Chivalrous and upright are the qualities that we martial artists should uphold. Chongyun just did his duty.” He raised his eyes to look at Lin Huan with a bit of curiosity. “Miss Lin, Master Hu said that you have been away from Liyue for a long time. I wonder if there are any new changes in Liyue that impressed you after your return?”

Lin Huan thought for a moment, his eyes revealing a mixture of nostalgia and novelty. "Liyue has changed a lot. When I first returned, I saw that the streets of Liyue Port had become more prosperous, with a constant stream of merchants coming and going, and even the food had a lot of new and novel styles. However, what surprised me the most was the people of Liyue. Everyone's life is full of vitality, and everyone has dreams and strives to pursue them. This positive atmosphere has deeply infected me, who has been away for a long time."

Xingqiu's eyes lit up, he unfolded his folding fan and fanned it gently, saying with great interest: "Miss Lin is right. Liyue has been developing rapidly in recent years. Not only is the business prosperous, but the culture is also colorful. I am currently conceiving a novel that shows the current situation of Liyue. If Miss Lin doesn't mind, could you tell Xingqiu about what you have seen and heard since your return? This will certainly be of great help to my creation."

Chongyun frowned, glanced at Xingqiu, and said helplessly, "You always think about finding material for your novel whenever you have the chance. Miss Lin has just returned, so you should let her rest more."

Xingqiu didn't take it seriously and retorted with a smile, "Chongyun, you don't know this. Miss Lin's experience is a rare creative material. Besides, chatting with Miss Lin can not only enhance our mutual understanding, but also help Miss Lin integrate into Liyue's current life more quickly. Isn't this the best of both worlds?"

Seeing the two people's interesting interaction, Lin Huan couldn't help but smile, "Master Xingqiu, don't worry. I am very happy to share my experiences. Moreover, listening to the two of you communicating like this makes me feel particularly friendly and interesting. I feel that I have become more integrated into the life of Liyue."

Xingqiu was delighted to receive Lin Huan's agreement, and said hurriedly, "Thank you very much, Miss Lin. I wonder if Miss Lin has visited the newly built library in Liyue since her return? There are many precious books collected there, some of which are even rare copies collected from other countries."

Lin Huan shook his head. "I haven't been there yet, but it sounds like a very interesting place."

Xingqiu clapped his hands gently, "Then Miss Lin, you must go and have a look. I often go there to read books. If Miss Lin goes there, Xingqiu will definitely act as your guide."

Chongyun watched Xingqiu's enthusiasm from the side and sighed slightly, but there was a hint of doting in his eyes, "Xingqiu gets so excited when he talks about these things, please don't be surprised Miss Lin."

Lin Huan smiled and said, "No, I think Master Xingqiu's enthusiasm is very cute, and I am also really interested in these places full of cultural heritage."

Chongyun couldn't help but smile after hearing what Lin Huan said, and said, "It's rare that Miss Lin can understand Xingqiu so well. Xingqiu is really obsessed with those books and stories."

Hu Tao interrupted, “That’s right. Chongyun, don’t just talk about Xingqiu. You are also very dedicated to exorcising evil spirits.”

Chongyun's face straightened and he said, "Of course. It is my mission to exorcise demons and uphold justice."

Xingqiu waved his fan and said with a smile, "Okay, okay, let's not just talk about this, Miss Lin. How about we go for a walk on the street together? Maybe we can encounter more interesting things."

Lin Huan readily agreed: "Okay, let's set off now."

The group walked out of the courtyard, talking and laughing, and came to the busy street. The vendors on the street were shouting, and the children were laughing and playing, it was a lively scene.

Xingqiu pointed to a shop and said, "Miss Lin, the dim sum in that shop is unique in Liyue. Shall we go and try some?"

Before Lin Huan could answer, Hu Tao had already jumped over and said, "What are you waiting for? Let's go!"

People walked into the shop, tasting the delicious snacks and laughing.

At this moment, there was a sudden noise outside. Chongyun looked stern and said, "I'll go check it out."

Xingqiu quickly pulled him back: "Don't worry, it might just be an ordinary dispute."

Chongyun said, "Just in case, I'd better go and take a look to make sure it's safe." After saying that, he walked out quickly.

After a while, Chongyun came back and said, "It was just a dispute between two vendors over a stall, and it has been resolved."

Everyone finally settled down and continued to immerse themselves in this happy time, wandering around the streets and alleys of Chihuyan, feeling extremely comfortable.
