Chapter 29 Jing Yuan, save me!
"Cough... Ma... Marriage?" Bai Heng's fingers trembled as he held the teacup, and the tea in his mouth choked him.
And at this time, Jing Liu put the black veil back over her eyes.
For her, seeing things was painful, and the existence of this specially made black veil could help her suppress the demonic possession.
"Seven hundred years ago, I promised you that if you could defeat me, I would agree to your... impertinent request. You did it then, and I won't go back on my word." Jing Liu's tone was cold, but she shifted her gaze away, as if these words were still somewhat reluctant for her.
In order not to expose his current unease, Bai Heng tactically picked up the water cup, pursed his lips, and said:
"Teacher sister, it was the past then, and it's the present now. I think it's too early for us to get married now...."
After these words.
There was a moment of silence at the tea table, followed by a flash of cold light. An ice sword was unsheathed and pointed at Bai Heng's neck.
Jing Liu gritted her teeth tightly, and her silver hair moved without wind as she said:
"Why, Bai Heng, are you unwilling to marry me?"
The sudden change at the teahouse attracted many onlookers.
"Oh, let me see what's going on?"
"It seems like a couple is having a quarrel. The man is unwilling to marry the girl."
The discussions gradually spread, and more and more people who came to join the fun after hearing various versions of the gossip surrounded them. Bai Heng, sitting at the tea table, heard several versions of the discussions at once.
"Pass it on. I heard that the man found a mistress and was unwilling to marry his original partner. Now the two are fighting fiercely."
"Pass it on. The man covered for the mistress to escape, and he is now dealing with his original partner. The mistress has already run away."
"Pass it on. The man tried to attack violently to cover for the mistress, and now he has been suppressed by his original partner."
"Pass it on. That man likes men. With such a beautiful partner and still not satisfied. His partner is now questioning him with a sword!"
The news became more and more outrageous.
Bai Heng mentally complained.
No, are you people of Xianzhou so gossipy?
"Teacher sister...." Bai Heng raised his hands in a French military salute, saying word by word, sincerely:
"Once a child bridegroom, always a child bridegroom. You misunderstood my meaning. I didn't say I wouldn't marry you. It's just that I think I need to defeat you formally in the arena and then propose to you and marry you properly. Only in this way can I not let your seven-hundred-year wait go to waste, right?"
Hearing Bai Heng's words, Jing Liu's expression changed slightly, and her tightly furrowed eyebrows slightly relaxed. She turned her head aside and said:
"Actually, I don't need that so-called proper marriage..."
Seeing the other party's expression also gentle down, Bai Heng let out a sigh of relief and continued:
"Teacher sister, marriage between a man and a woman is a matter of a lifetime. You don't need it, but it doesn't mean I don't have to be responsible."
Listening to Bai Heng's words, Jing Liu seemed to understand something. She slowly said:
"Okay, let's start now."
Bai Heng blinked and said:
"What starts now?"
Jing Liu gently opened her red lips and said:
"You are not only my child bridegroom but also my disciple. Naturally, I will teach you swordsmanship. As for the teaching method...."
Bai Heng: "???"
...
In the Shence Mansion.
A man with a lazy expression and tied-up white hair in a ponytail was holding a go piece, half-opening his bright yellow pupils, as if contemplating the chess game in the pavilion or taking a nap with his eyes closed.
The mansion was secluded, and sandalwood smoke curled.
A young swordsman in a Yunqi robe was also practicing swordsmanship under the pear tree. The sword edge was sharp, and the sounds of breaking the air kept ringing in the courtyard, causing the pear blossoms on the tree to sway as well.
At this time, an untimely footstep sounded in the courtyard.
But when the slender and exquisite Taibu walked up to Jing Yuan, he still maintained the appearance of listening with his eyes closed.
However, before Fu Xuan could speak, Jing Yuan asked:
"Fu Qing, now that the stellar core has been removed, what else could be worth your such efforts."
Jing Yuan's tone was as casual and unconcerned as his lazy appearance.
But Fu Xuan had no time to care if he was listening and directly said:
"General, the person the Sword Master was waiting for has returned."
Hearing this, Jing Yuan was slightly stunned at first, then suddenly opened his slightly closed eyes, and his tone became serious:
"Is this true?"
"The divinations by my hand have never been wrong. This person is within the territory of 'Luofu'. Perhaps at this moment, the Sword Master has already found him." While saying this, Fu Xuan did not forget to taunt Jing Yuan:
"Does the general still think this is a trivial matter?"
Jing Yuan's amber eyes flickered with many emotions. He stood up, the corners of his mouth unconsciously rising. He walked back and forth in the pavilion with his hands behind his back and said:
"Fu Qing, wonderful. Fu Qing, wonderful....."
Fu Xuan disdainfully gave him a blank look and said:
"Has the general become so delirious that he can only say this sentence? It seems that it's time for you to step down from the position of general."
Jing Yuan replied with a smile:
"Yeah, yeah, okay, okay, I know."
While perfunctorily responding to Fu Xuan, he shouted to Yan Qing in the courtyard:
"Yan Qing, go and fetch the fine wine I have been keeping."
Hearing the voice, Yan Qing stopped practicing swordsmanship, took a breath, and asked:
"General, didn't you say that wine would only be opened when I became the Sword Master?"
Jing Yuan laughed and said:
"There is a happy event today. Just fetch it. By the way... Fu Qing, why don't you stay and have a few drinks."
Fu Xuan frowned slightly and said:
"No need to trouble the general. The Taibu Division has a busy official business. As the Taibu, I can't be as lazy as the general. I will only stay for a moment and then leave."
As soon as the words fell.
Fu Xuan suddenly raised her head, and her bright eyes looked towards the main entrance of the general's mansion.
Because she suddenly seemed to hear some commotion outside the door.
"General, does your Shence Mansion let in any random people?"
Jing Yuan, standing beside Fu Xuan, also cast his gaze on the door of the Shence Mansion.
And in the next moment.
A handsome young man with a wet upper body and many broken ice pieces hanging on him ran towards this side.
While running, he also shouted:
"Jing Yuan, save me!"
Even after seven hundred years, Jing Yuan recognized this embarrassed young man at first glance.
But when he just took two steps forward, he suddenly felt a cold wind approaching.
Before he could see who the newcomer was, two extremely cold ice sword qi slashed down.
Two crystal-clear ice sculptures were formed in the pavilion in an instant, one at Jing Yuan's feet and the other at Bai Heng's feet.
Fu Xuan was first vigilant and looked towards the roof. When she saw the beautiful figure under the moonlight standing on the roof, she put one hand under her chin and said:
"There is still official business at the Taibu Division. General, you stay frozen for now. I'll leave first."
Yan Qing, who was originally in the courtyard, eager to fight and ready to face the enemy, scratched his head after seeing the person and said:
"General, it's late at night. Yan Qing will go and fetch the wine for you. It's time to rest soon."
