Chapter 966: Self-protection (1)
The blue flower Fairy was very interested and asked, ââHow come Iâve never heard of it?â
âTwenty years ago, the Emperor needed to refine a very complicated quasi-spirit pill. No one in the entire zhongyun territory could refine it. It was your grandfather who succeeded by luck.â Zhou bingkun recalled.
âThe Emperor gave us a painting as a token of appreciation. Your grandfather mounted it and kept it in the ancestral Hall, burning incense day and night.â
The blue flower Fairy felt extremely honored, but her heart was itching for an answer, ââWhere are the calligraphy and paintings? Iâve never seen it before!â
Zhou bingkun smiled helplessly. 20 years ago, the gate of hell opened and your grandfather led the strong to fight. The family was left empty and was invaded by the enemy. The calligraphy was burned during the Battle, leaving only a few corners. I hid them in the depths of the treasure vault.
The blue flower Fairy said with a look of regret.
That was a calligraphy painting personally bestowed by Huang zizhen. How precious was that?
In the entire middle cloud realm, there were no more than ten!
âThen did His Excellency Huang still have any dealings with our Zhou mansion?â The blue flower Fairy asked expectantly.
Zhou bingkun laughed in surprise,âsilly child!â With the emperorâs realm, how could he have any dealings with ordinary powers like us? After gifting the painting back then, we no longer had any contact.â
Qiu zifan deeply agreed with this. He said in awe, ââTeacherâs cultivation is profound and has already reached a state where he can not be tainted by the mortal world. Although I was once his student, he has never had any contact with my family for many years.â
Hearing this, the blue flower Fairy felt a sense of loss.
Only the king of zhongyun and the Marquis level figures could deal with such a great figure.
Their Zhou residence was too small to be worthy of the other partyâs attention.
âThatâs right!â The blue flower Fairy suddenly remembered, ââThatâs right, itâs young master tuoqiuâs good fortune to be able to listen to Lord Huangâs lecture today.â
âOh, really? Iâm so grateful!â âItâs rare to receive a reward from the Emperor at such a young age, itâs really rare!â Zhou bingkun raised his glass and toasted.
no, â Qiu zifan replied humbly. itâs just that the teacher still remembers a nobody like me.
âYoung master Qiu, youâre so open-minded. Iâm impressed,â the blue flower Fairy smiled at him.
She looked at Zhou bingkun with exultation,âfather, do you know?â In the final test, young master Qiu was the only one who got a hundred points out of the one hundred people who attended the class!â
Zhou bingkunâs look of appreciation grew, ââWhat a fine-looking man!â
âWhat about you? How many points?â Zhou bingkun asked his daughter.
âNinety-three points. The Emperor said that Iâm welcome to continue listening to his lessons next time,â the latter said with some pride.
haha, youâre indeed my daughter. You didnât let me down! Zhou bingkun was overjoyed and picked up one of her favorite Guanyin bamboo shoots for her.
The blue flower Fairy was in a good mood. It had been a long time since her father had praised her so much.
Living in her big brotherâs shadow, no matter what achievements she obtained, they would all be inferior.
And all of this was because of Qiu zifanâs help.
Zhou bingkun smiled and suddenly noticed Xia qingchen, who hadnât said a word. Out of politeness, he asked, ââWhere is young master Wang? Iâm sure your score isnât low?â
He had been praised by his daughter time and time again, saying that he had high potential, so his performance in the test should be quite good.
The blue flower fairyâs expression stiffened, and she said, ââFather, donât ask anymore.â
Oh?
Zhou bingkun realized that Xia qingchenâs score might be very low, and he found it hard to say.
âYoung master Wang, donât be discouraged. Your cultivation is still low, so itâs normal that you canât answer some questions. As long as you pass, you can go to Dao impartment Valley again.â He consoled.
Qiu zifan had a look of sympathy and sighed. âUncle, please donât ask anymore. Young master Wang only gets one point.â
To think he had the face to mention it. He was the clearest about how difficult it was to obtain Xia qingchenâs scroll.
âOne ⊠One point?â Zhou bingkunâs eyes were dazed for a moment, as if he couldnât believe it.
No matter how much he wrote, it couldnât possibly be only one point, right?
he filled in the form randomly and should have gotten a zero, â Qiu zifan said. the teacher said that he would give him a point for his courage to fill in the form randomly.
Although he seemed to be explaining, he was actually mocking Xia qingchen.
Zhou bingkun coughed awkwardly. master Wang, donât be impatient. Work harder in the future. Thereâs still hope.
Looking at Xia qingchenâs silent expression, Zhou bingkun was actually quite happy.
After experiencing some things, he should be very clear that he and Jing Xuan were people from two different worlds, and he would soon leave her side with shame.
Qiu zifan patted his shoulder. young master Wang, uncle is right. As long as you double your cultivation, you might catch up to miss Zhou and me one day. Donât be discouraged, understand? â
No matter how she heard it, his comfort sounded like yingluoâs.
Xia qingchenâs expression was cold as he calmly spoke, ââLet go!â
Qiu zifan laughed and squeezed his shoulders. âIf we donât fight, we wonât get to know each other. Why are you treating me like an outsider?â
Bang-
All of a sudden, a burst of astral power gushed out from Xia qingchenâs body, instantly flicking Qiu zifanâs arm away.
Because he was too fast, it caused Qiu zifanâs armpit to be strained, causing him to Twitch his mouth in pain.
âIâm sorry, Iâm not close to you!â Xia qingchenâs face was cold as he spoke.
There was no need to be polite with such a hypocrite!
Wang Kai, Iâm just trying to comfort you. Why do you have to be so rough? â Qiu zifan rubbed his armpits, feeling wronged.
Zhou bingkunâs face gradually turned cold, he said in a low voice, ââYoung master Wang, youâve gone too far!â
In his eyes, Xia qingchenâs attack had no reason at all and was extremely crude.
The blue flower Fairy quickly helped Qiu zifan up and said gently, ââYoung master Qiu, are you alright?â
âIâm fine, itâs nothing serious.â Qiu zifan waved his hand. donât make things difficult for young master Wang. I understand his feelings.
Just by listening to it, what a broad mind!
Xia qingchen, on the other hand, vented his unhappiness on others.
This kind of behavior was really childish and lowly. One could see his narrow and selfish character from this.
After a day of interaction, the blue flower Fairy finally couldnât stand Xia qingchenâs various actions.
âYoung master Wang, even if young master Qiuâs words are unpleasant to the ears, thereâs no need to make a move, right?â The blue flower fairyâs brows furrowed slightly, and her tone was reproachful.
Xia qingchen saw the gazes of everyone, especially the blue flower Fairy.
He was inexplicably disappointed.
Putting down the bowl and chopsticks in his hands, Xia qingchen lowered his head and sighed. âYouâre not her after all.â
He had thought that the blue flower Fairy had Jiang xuexinâs divine rhythm, but now it seemed that the difference was too great.
If it was Jiang xuexin, she would definitely guess why Xia qingchen would get zero points and why he would get angry at someone for no reason given his character.
He didnât want to side with others.
The blue flower Fairy was righteous, but she didnât know how to judge a person.
âIâve troubled you for a day, I should take my leave.â Staring at the continuous drizzling rain outside, Xia qingchen took out a bamboo hat and silently put it on.
Want to leave?
Only then did the blue flower Fairy realize that her words might have been too harsh.
No matter what, he was her Savior, and she had no right to criticize him.
âYoung master Wang, I apologize for my rudeness.â The blue flower Fairy bowed and apologized.
Xia qingchen had already turned around and waved his hand. âNo need, I will accompany young master Qiu. Goodbye.â
Without any reluctance, he stepped into the rain curtain with his broken bamboo hat.
Looking at his lonely figure walking into the dark night, listening to his footsteps in the cold rain, like waves in the distance, the blue flower fairyâs heart clenched.
She suddenly realized that the one who had changed wasnât Xia qingchen but herself.
Under the contrast of Qiu zifan, Xia qingchen seemed inferior in every aspect, even causing her to feel embarrassed.
But he had never changed. He was still that quiet teenager who could save her from a life-and-death situation at a critical moment.
He was still that calm and composed young man who did not feel inferior or uneasy because of others âsneers and contempt.
The only thing that had changed was her infatuation with Qiu zifanâs Halo.
