Rebirth: Phoenix Riding the Ninth Heaven

After Li Ruoyue and Luzhu finished lunch and said goodbye to Mrs. Hua, they returned to their own courtyard. Lizhu closed the door, poured a cup of tea for the young lady, and said with dissatisfaction, "Young lady, it's really too much! I don't know what to say."

Li Ruoyue took the teacup, patted the back of Luzhu's hand, and said nonchalantly, "Hasn't it been like this since we were little? In my previous life, wasn't I deceived by his acting? He was one thing on the surface, and another behind the scenes. In my new life, I don't know what kind of person he is. I won't let his words sway my emotions and actions anymore."

Although Luzhu was the person he trusted the most, he did not tell him the secret of his rebirth. Firstly, it was unbelievable and no one would believe it. Secondly, he did not want to test human nature, which was the thing that could not stand the test.

He didn't want anything, even the slightest possibility, to hinder his revenge, so he didn't reveal too much to Luzhu.

Erduo listened to Luzhu's complaints for a while, and said to Lizhu, "Lizhu, you go down first. I'll rest for a while. You go and observe them to see if there is anything special. Which ones are Madam Hua's people and which ones have no background? Find out everything. We will discuss how to bring them all under control in the evening."

Hearing this, Luzhu stepped forward, took his arm and said softly: "Miss, I will help you to the bed, and then I will go out." Li Ruoyue hummed softly, and let Luzhu help her to the bed, lowered the bed curtain, and quietly left the room and closed the door.

Li Ruoyue dozed for a moment, then got up from the bed. She slowly walked into the study, came to the desk, sorted out her thoughts, and immersed herself in drawing a battle formation diagram. He said that the next one was from his memory, a formation diagram he accidentally found in the library of the imperial palace. It was an incomplete diagram. He had restored half of it in his previous life, and died before he had restored the other half. In this life, he must make the most of it.

Li Ruoyue silently depicted the application and practice of the killing formation diagram in her mind.

At the center of the killing array in his mind, a life-or-death battle unfolded. Guided by the formation, the warriors, as if drawn by invisible threads, weaved through it along a specific path. Their movements were as nimble as a cheetah, as agile as an eagle, as swift as a gale, and as deafening as thunder.

The warriors wielded a variety of weapons: swords, spears, hammers, and whips. In their hands, they seemed to have life, souls. The swords, bright as moonlight and swift as lightning, slashed through the darkness and illuminated the battlefield. The spears, winding like long dragons and cunning like venomous snakes, pierced through the enemy's formations and penetrated their bodies. The hammers, heavy as mountains and violent as thunderbolts, smashed the enemy and shattered their formations. The whips, nimble as snakes and swift as lightning, entangled the enemy and bound them.

Every attack by the warriors was like a landslide, a volcanic eruption, filled with destructive and annihilating power. Their swords, like the breaking sunlight of dawn, pierced the enemy's defenses and illuminated their weaknesses; their spears, like the sharp claws of a cheetah, pierced the enemy's chest and tore through the enemy's defenses; their hammers, like the roar of a tiger, smashed the enemy's armor and shattered their will; their whips, like the coils of a snake, constrained the enemy's movements and blocked their retreat.

Every time the warriors defended themselves, it was like a solid wall of steel, impenetrable, and filled with wisdom and composure. Their swords, as solid as mountains, blocked the enemy's attacks and protected their bodies; their spears, like the winding of long dragons, avoided the enemy's attacks and protected their vital points; their hammers, like the soaring of eagles, dodged the enemy's attacks and protected their safety; their whips, as agile as snakes, avoided the enemy's attacks and protected their lives.

Every strike by the warriors was like a tiger descending from a mountain, like an eagle spreading its wings, full of speed and skill. Their swords, like the charge of a cheetah, counterattacked the enemy's weaknesses and vital points; their spears, like the sudden attack of a long dragon, counterattacked the enemy's vital points and counterattacked the enemy's defenses; their hammers, like the roar of a tiger, counterattacked the enemy's chest and counterattacked the enemy's will; their whips, like the winding of a spirit snake, counterattacked the enemy's actions and counterattacked the enemy's retreat.

This is the battle scene in the killing array, full of life and death contests, full of the collision of blood and fire, full of the contest between light and darkness. Here, life and death are only a thought away, victory or defeat is only a moment, wisdom is only a thread away. Here, every moment is full of challenges, every moment is full of dangers, every moment is full of opportunities. Here, life and death is just a game, victory or defeat is just a gamble,

Li Ruoyue and Zheng Cheng were lost in their fantasies of Shazhen when the sound of a door opening interrupted their reverie. Luzhu slowly walked in, settling beside the desk, and seeing the formation diagram on the desk, she sighed helplessly, "Miss, why have you been practicing this for so many years? It's been so many years, and you still haven't figured it out. If you can't do it, just give up and try something else. This one's too difficult." Li Ruoyue smiled and shook her head.

Seeing this, Luzhu stopped trying to persuade her. This picture had been bothering her for years, and it was all her fault for not being able to help her. Well, at this moment, she heard someone asking, "What's wrong with Luzhu?" "Why did you come in at this time?" Luzhu patted her head lightly. "Oh, look at my memory." It was Sister Qiu Ling from Madam Hua's side. She said that the Marquis would be back in three days. The news of your return, Miss. Fei Ge sent a letter to the army. Upon receiving the letter, the Marquis immediately rushed back at full speed.

Li Ruoyue felt a slight pang of pain at this. In her previous life, she hadn't even seen her father for the last time, leaving him beheaded. No matter what, she had to protect her father and prevent him from suffering the same fate as Wan Jingqiliang in her previous life. Time passed very slowly during the days of anticipation.

On the third day, the morning light broke, and golden sunlight penetrated the carved windows of the Marquis's residence, shining on Li Ruoyue's face. A faint blush appeared on her cheeks, and her eyes sparkled with anticipation. Today was the day the Marquis's father returned from the military camp, and it was also the day Li Ruoyue would reunite with her father after a long absence.

Li Ruoyue stood at the gate of the mansion early in the morning, her heartbeat quickened, her eyes sparkling with excitement and anticipation. She wore a lavender long dress and a red quilt with a peony pattern. Her hair was carefully tied up and inserted with an exquisite jade hairpin. There was no extra decoration. This hairpin was a dowry left by her mother. She exuded a gentle and noble temperament. She remembered the day her father left. He was wearing armor, heroic, his eyes full of firmness and determination, as if he was going to flatten all the injustices in the world. And today, she is looking forward to his return, looking forward to his safety, looking forward to his smile, and looking forward to him holding her tightly with those powerful hands again. Every time she fell down as a child, the scene of being pulled up by her father replayed in her mind like a movie,

Finally, the sound of horse hooves could be heard in the distance. Li Ruoyue's heartbeat quickened. She saw her father. He was still as heroic as ever, but his face had a hint of fatigue, and his eyes had a hint of vicissitudes. He saw Li Ruoyue, and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes. He dismounted and walked quickly towards Li Ruoyue. "Yue, you've grown up and look more and more like your mother. You've grown taller and thinner, and you're as beautiful as your mother. Don't you have good food there? Are you feeling better?"

"The Marquis' father's voice was filled with excitement and pride, and tears flashed in his eyes, as if he saw the most precious treasure in his heart.

Li Ruoyue stepped forward and held her father's hand tightly, her voice choked with sobs, "Dad, I miss you so much, you have worked so hard." Tears also flashed in her eyes, which were the joy of reunion after a long separation and the deep longing for her father.

Li Ruoyue felt the stinging pain from his father's big hand with a distinct pubic bone and the calluses on the palm. He cried sadly for this real touch. Finally, he held his father's warm hand. Their eyes were filled with tears. It was the joy of reunion after a long separation and the testimony of the deep affection between father and daughter.

Seeing this, the eldest lady was no longer unwilling in her heart, but she walked forward with a smile on her face. Master, you just replied that the wind is strong at the door, Yue'er is not in good health, let's go back to the house and prepare the meal. We talked while eating. She only came to her senses after hearing this, the wind is strong at the door, don't freeze my Yue'er. As she said this, she held Li Ruoyue's hand and did not let go.

Li Ruoliu followed behind him and looked at everything in front of him with hatred. She gritted her teeth and said in her heart that her father only loved her sister. He couldn't see a grown-up like me. As long as her sister was around, no one would notice her.

Back at the Marquis' residence, Madam Hua ordered the kitchen to prepare a sumptuous lunch. They gathered around the dining table, enjoying the delicious food and the joy of reunion. The table was filled with a variety of exquisite dishes: braised lion's head, bright red in color, fragrant in aroma, with tender, melt-in-your-mouth meat; steamed sea bass, white and tender with a delicate texture, and a clear, fragrant broth; sweet and sour spare ribs, golden in color, crispy in texture, with a perfect balance of sweet and sour, leaving a lasting aftertaste; and emerald white jade soup, emerald green in color, delicate in texture, rich in broth, and fragrant in aroma.

They talked about the stories of the military camp, the changes in the mansion, and Li Ruoyue's growth. Their laughter filled the mansion. The father recounted his heroic deeds on the battlefield, his thoughts and concerns; Li Ruoyue recounted the daily trivialities of the Taoist temple, her studies and growth, her thoughts and expectations.
