Lu Xingzhou was eating at the Sheng family’s, and this time the treatment was much better than the last.
Last time, the Sheng family couple had black faces, as if looking at a ghost-fire yellow hair from beginning to end.
This time, the yellow hair was still yellow hair, but with some gold in the yellow.
Actually, killing Ye Wufeng was not as significant as saving a life, but any parents hope their daughter’s chosen man is capable. Striking down a newcomer like that, with such a great military achievement, obviously added a layer of dazzling light to Lu Xingzhou.
Not to mention, Sheng Qingfeng had performed an autopsy and knew in his heart that Lu Xingzhou’s disability was most likely faked.
Not disabled! This was a completely different story!
Looking at his daughter again, despite her injury not yet being healed, she was holding onto the girl from someone’s family and wouldn’t let go, how intimate!
“That… Xingzhou ah…” Sheng Qingfeng said with a smile, “I heard that the Dan College exam date has been moved up this time, are you confident?”
If he could get a golden body for further study at Dan College, this yellow hair would completely turn into a gold hair. The problem was the unclear relationship with the princess; besides that, he was almost a perfect son-in-law candidate. Old Sheng at this moment wished Lu Xingzhou would explain that he and Shen Tang were just pure colleagues.
“It should be okay,” Lu Xingzhou said with a somewhat flustered face, “These days I’ve indeed been distracted too much. After this period, I also want to study more wholeheartedly.”
“If you have any difficulties, just say so,” Sheng Qingfeng kindly picked up a piece of pork for him with his chopsticks, “Huo Mian was escorted to the capital early this morning. As for this matter, the Huo family probably doesn’t want you to clarify things as the party involved, right? In fact, the trial of this matter has nothing to do with you as the victim. You can absolutely use the excuse of studying to lie low, and not appear at all. The Huo family won’t expect anything, and the Pei family also won’t think of using you as a pawn.”
“Coincidentally, I was also thinking this way,” Lu Xingzhou laughed, “It’s just troublesome for Uncle to cover for me in this matter.”
“It’s easy to say, why not just return that inn directly? If the Huo family wants to find you and suddenly discovers they can’t, let them be confused.” Sheng Qingfeng laughed, “Just live here directly these days, and no one will think of disturbing you.”
Madam Sheng glanced at her husband.
This wasn’t exactly creating opportunities for their daughter… This “no one will think of disturbing” seemed to include her Sheng Yuanyao as well.
Right under her nose, that little hussy shouldn’t think of doing anything.
Looking at the silly girl’s face turning red, she probably didn’t think her father’s action looked like assistance but was actually the opposite.
“Uh…” Lu Xingzhou said, “If I live at Uncle’s house, will it not damage Miss Sheng’s reputation?”
“Tsk…” Sheng Qingfeng slanted his eyes at him, “You keep saying ‘friend’, but then it’s always ‘Miss Sheng’. It’s too distant, not at all like friends.”
Lu Xingzhou had to say, “Um… For Gu Ji Yuanyao’s reputation.”
Sheng Yuanyao was pulling A Nuo’s face, her heart pounding.
“What reputation are you clarifying? The old man is not dead yet, who can think wild thoughts if you live here?” Sheng Qingfeng waved his hand dismissively, “Just look at your own opinion, don’t need to care about others.”
Lu Xingzhou thought for a bit, still shook his head, “It’s not very good. It would be better if Uncle can provide a secret place to cultivate.”
Sheng Qingfeng narrowed his eyes and looked at Lu Xingzhou for a while. His suggestion was of course not that proper, but he actually wanted to test what Lu Xingzhou thought of his daughter. As a result, this look still showed a pure and clear mind, with no such idea.
Old Sheng didn’t know whether he should breathe a sigh of relief or feel a bit regretful, he stroked his beard and thought for a while before saying, “Okay, I’ll find a place for you.”
“Then thank you very much, Uncle.” Lu Xingzhou said again, “Um… About this Ye Wufeng matter, do I need to give a statement?”
Officially speaking, he also killed someone in the capital, even if it was a criminal, but he was not an official person. At least procedurally, a “record” was required. Sheng Qingfeng nodded, “It’s easier to handle if you say it yourself. Originally, I was hesitant to find you and talk about this, fearing you would be unhappy and feel like we are ungrateful.”
“This is a matter of work procedure, one must understand,” Lu Xingzhou laughed, “Moreover, I originally did this under Vice Chief Capturer Sheng’s arrangement, so a more detailed report is required.”
“?” Sheng Qingfeng blinked several times before realizing that this little fellow was giving him a merit!
The old Chief Seat is over three hundred years old this year and has been in the position for nearly a hundred years. Now his lifespan is ending, and he wants to retire, planning to go back to cultivate to seek a breakthrough and extend his life.
Because the old Chief Seat relied a bit on his age and seniority and didn’t pay much attention to the emperor – strong people of the upper three grades have long lifespans, usually over one or two hundred years, and a first-grade strong person can hold a position for a hundred years casually, which is unfavorable to the emperor’s authority. Therefore, the emperor has been constantly “younging the officials” in recent years. Regardless of Huo Xingyuan or Pei Qingyan, they look decades old, but in this world, they are all considered “young backbone.”
The newcomer list was born against this background. Before Gu Zhanting ascended the throne, there was only the hero list. The newcomer list and various sub-lists were all additions made by Gu Zhanting. By this item alone, Gu Zhanting has made great contributions to the promotion and encouragement of young powerhouses in this world.
He Sheng Qingfeng was also promoted and employed by the emperor all the way up in this background, surpassing several old climbers and becoming the first vice chief of Zhen Mo Si.
But being young has its disadvantages; the time spent on cultivation is here, and there is always a lack of something. He Shengfeng’s reason for always being stuck in the second grade is that his position as chief seat is not necessarily stable. Zhen Mo Si is a very crucial combat department, and without a first-grade chief seat, it cannot suppress evil spirits, or even suppress the arrogant soldiers and fierce generals under its banner.
But from another perspective, those who are first-grade all have strong backgrounds without exception, either from famous sects or pillars of noble families, and are not suitable for doing work like Zhen Mo Si, which requires relative independence. It’s very difficult to find a first-grade direct line cultivated by Gu Zhanting personally…
So he Sheng Qingfeng still has a chance to take office, at least possibly get a “temporary chief seat.” If he can break through to the first grade during the temporary period, then it will be stable.
In this context, Lu Xingzhou handing over this merit is extremely precious.
And it can also exchange for a great favor from the Huan Hua Sword Sect – Chu Qingchen died at Ye Wufeng’s hand. He Sheng Qingfeng planned the revenge that night behind the scenes, and the Huan Hua Sword Sect will feel this favor.
“You…” Sheng Qingfeng suppressed the joy in his heart and said in a low voice, “Originally, the Huan Hua Sword Sect would appreciate your favor. If you do this, the favor becomes mine.”
“But what I get is Uncle’s favor,” Lu Xingzhou raised his cup, “This is ten thousand times more valuable than the Huan Hua Sword Sect.”
Sheng Qingfeng’s eyes when looking at Lu Xingzhou were simply looking at his son.
Damn it, if you and the princess really don’t have that relationship, how about suggesting you and Yuanyao get married on the spot? You are too reliable.
“Old Sheng likes you more and more.” After the meal, Sheng Yuanyao smilingly brought Lu Xingzhou to walk in her backyard, “I’ve never seen him have this attitude towards any young person, those eyes, tsk…”
Lu Xingzhou didn’t pretend here either, and pushed open his wheelchair to accompany Sheng Yuanyao for a stroll, “True heart for true heart, right?”
Sheng Yuanyao said, “What true heart are you changing? He is not into men!”
Lu Xingzhou turned his head to look at her, and Sheng Yuanyao’s face turned slightly red as she turned her head away.
Sister Melon has been nursing her injury at home these two days, including the previous garden tour, she wasn’t wearing her Zhen Mo Si uniform, but dressed very casually. But today, she seemed to have specially dressed up, a beautiful long dress, plain blue and elegant. One look and the material was much more expensive than her daily casual wear. The waist was tied high, which made her waist look thinner and legs longer, reminding people of the crisp and wild look she had in her uniform.
It seemed… she also drew her eyebrows?
Lu Xingzhou couldn’t help but say, “You weren’t as pretty as you are today on that blind date.”
“What blind date was that?” Sheng Yuanyao rolled her eyes at him, “You know it was just to cope, don’t you?”
“Why would I know?” Lu Xingzhou hummed, “That Chu Qingchen doesn’t look bad either, and he’s a famous young newcomer.”
A Nuo’s words “Master is more angry that you went on a blind date with someone” flashed through Sheng Yuanyao’s mind, and she couldn’t help but blurt out, “Hey, are you jealous?”
Lu Xingzhou said, “Anyway, someone said they don’t know what’s worth her looking at me, so what does it matter if I’m jealous?”
Sheng Yuanyao wanted to laugh a little, but she didn’t force the issue of whether he was jealous. This topic seemed unsuitable for deep investigation.
The two walked quietly in the afternoon garden, and Sheng Yuanyao suddenly felt a little strange.
Yes, he was walking.
Sheng Yuanyao quietly glanced at him, not expecting this guy to be so tall after standing up. She was already very tall, but he was still half a head taller than her, looking even more like a jade tree facing the wind, extraordinarily handsome. Just a quick stolen glance like this could make people’s hearts beat wildly.
“That…” Sheng Yuanyao swallowed a mouthful of saliva and said with some difficulty, “When your leg is healed, if you don’t let me eat this melon, you’re really not being loyal?”
She had clearly just seen him in Dongjiang, was Sister Melon’s brain mush right now? Lu Xingzhou said helplessly, “If I weren’t loyal, would I have gone to fight Ye Wufeng desperately?”
“Then…” Sheng Yuanyao hesitated for a moment, and finally couldn’t help but ask, “Others might think you are Huo Shang, but I know you are most likely not. Can you tell me now who you are exactly, what is your real name? Can I eat this melon now?”
She knew before but didn’t ask. With Sheng Yuanyao’s melon-eating hobby, being able to hold back from asking was really holding back.
But at that time, everyone’s relationship wasn’t up to that level, and “friend loyalty” wasn’t enough to delve into a person’s core secret.
Now… theoretically, the relationship didn’t seem to have changed much, but for some reason, she just felt like she could ask.
He even went to kill someone for her.
And he came to eat at her house for the second time. Don’t you really know why I dressed up? Because in my heart, this is a blind date! Since it’s a blind date, how can you not even know the other person’s real name?
Sure enough, Lu Xingzhou didn’t hide anything from her, and answered very naturally, “The surname Huo is true, Huo is a big surname in Xia state, especially around Danxia Mountain. My given name is Qing, the Qing of ‘blue out of blue’. It’s fine that you know, but you can’t tell anyone, including your dad… um, actually, I’m just called Lu Xingzhou now, that’s my name wherever I go, it’s not a fake name. Huo Qing is at most a name I used before…”
Sheng Yuanyao stopped in her tracks.
Lu Xingzhou said strangely, “What’s wrong?”
Sheng Yuanyao pursed her lips, thinking of Chu Qingchen’s words about their relationship, how she had the character Yao and he had the character Qing, so it should be Qingyao Garden, which seemed to have a bit of fate. But that Qing was not this Qing, just a bit of a forced connection.
The real Qing was actually here.
Qingyao Garden, the place where he saved her life, the place where he helped her kill her enemy, where he rose from, where they combined.
Turns out, this was the true heavenly destined match.
The romantic cells in a woman’s bones surged for a moment, and looking at the handsome face of the man in front of her, she actually lost her mind and couldn’t speak.
Facing Lu Xingzhou’s increasingly strange eyes, Sheng Yuanyao suddenly turned her head and casually found an excuse in a bit of a panic, “Nothing… I just thought of you wanting to get revenge on the Huo family, and I’m worried for you.”
“You should know my revenge is not as intense as you originally imagined, it’s a slow stew, don’t worry.”
“But…” Sheng Yuanyao thought for a bit, “The National Master’s divination for you said that the deer has no worries immediately.”
