Chapter 50: The copy of Cleansing Sword Pavilion is open
Three days later.
The breeze was warm, the sun was slightly drunk, and the carriage galloped towards Xijiange.
Holding the package in his arms, Tao Jingyi sat quietly in the carriage. This package was prepared by Feng Linzhi for her, and it contained mostly a change of clothes and snacks.
"Your quota was bought from a girl named Qingqing. She came to Xijiange all the way from thousands of miles to seek a chance to be famous and earn money to treat her mother." Feng Linzhi looked at the car. With the fleeting scenery outside the window, he opened his lips and said, "I ask for a quota, and she asks for money. This is a fair transaction between you and me. As for the manager, I have taken care of everything. If you have any difficulties, you can Go to him directly."
Feng Linzhi explained so much to her, probably because he was afraid that she would feel that he had robbed someone else's quota and felt burdened.
A warm current flowed through her heart, and she said warmly: "Don't worry, I will never let you down for everything you have done for me."
Feng Linzhi smiled slightly, took out a wooden sword and handed it to her: "This is the proof of entering the cabinet, you keep it."
Soon at the foot of the mountain, a middle-aged man in commoner clothes was already waiting at the side. He opened the curtain of the car when the wind was about to stop, and hurried forward and said, "Master Feng, I finally waited for you."
"I'm sorry." Feng Linzhi said, then turned to look at Tao Jingyi in the car, "Come out, cousin."
Tao Jingyi was dumbfounded by his calling "cousin", and got out of the carriage in a daze.
The middle-aged man clasped his fists to her and said, "So this is Miss Biao."
Feng Linzhi smiled and said: "Cousin, this is the Steward Lin I mentioned to you. After you enter Xijian Pavilion, if you encounter any trouble, you can go to Steward Lin."
Steward Lin said with a smile all over his face: "If Miss Biao has any needs, feel free to ask. With someone like Lin here, she will never wrong Miss Biao."
Judging by this man's fawning attitude, I'm afraid Feng Linzhi didn't spend less money with him. No wonder today he changed out of his usual coquettish demeanor and wore a splendid dress. At first glance, he looked a little less quack, like a son of a wealthy family.
Tao Jingyi entered the scene very quickly, and said timidly, "Yes."
"Miss Biao's face..." Seeing that she was wearing a veil, Steward Lin couldn't help but raise his lips.
"When I was young, my face was injured and my appearance was ugly. I used a veil to cover it up in fear of scaring others." Tao Jingyi whispered.
Steward Lin regretted it as soon as he heard her answer, wishing he could slap himself twice and expose his scars in front of others, in case the God of Wealth next to him was annoyed, wouldn't the duck in his hand fly away. He quickly changed the subject and said: "Everything has been taken care of, Miss Biao, please follow me up the mountain."
Feng Linzhi took out a kit from his sleeve, stuffed it into Steward Lin's hand, and said with a smile, "After Ah Jing entered Xijian Pavilion, I hope Steward Lin will take care of you."
Steward Lin weighed the heavy purse, smiling like a flower, and kept nodding: "This is nature, this is nature..."
"Ah Jing, take good care of yourself after going up the mountain. It would be best if you can learn some skills. If you can't learn something, it doesn't matter. After my cousin finishes his work, he will definitely pick you up."
This was the first time that Feng Linzhi called her name instead of "girl". Tao Jingyi nodded blankly, seeing his serious appearance, he wanted to borrow some property from him, but he really couldn't say it brazenly.
The carriage was bathed in the setting sun as the wind stopped, and it slowly drove towards the road it came from.
Tao Jingyi followed Steward Lin up the mountain.
"The place where the new disciples live is Chengfeng Courtyard, men and women live separately. There are 30 new disciples this time, and there are seven female disciples. They are arranged in the Datong shop. The accommodation is not under the arrangement, and it is inevitable that they will be wronged. Miss, I hope Miss Biao will forgive me." Manager Lin said.
"Boss Lin speaks too seriously. If it's such a big deal, do as the Romans do." Tao Jingyi laughed.
Steward Lin breathed a sigh of relief. He received so much money from Feng Linzhi, but he couldn't even arrange the accommodation. It was a bit unreasonable at first, but fortunately, this "Miss Cousin" was reasonable and didn't make things difficult for him.
While speaking, we arrived at Chengfengyuan. Steward Lin pointed to one of the rooms and said: "This is the room of the new disciple, I can only send Miss Biao here."
Tao Jingyi nodded, "Go back."
"New disciples of Xijiange will be given two sets of costumes uniformly. Please remember to get them, Miss Biao." Steward Lin left after saying this.
Tao Jingyi hugged the package and walked towards the residence. As soon as he opened the door, he saw several girls standing together, pushing and making trouble. The moment she pushed open the door, the room fell silent, and everyone looked at her in unison.
Tao Jingyi walked towards the only vacant bed.
The room became lively again, but this time the object of their discussion was obviously Tao Jingyi. Because Tao Jingyi felt several malicious eyes cast towards her, she turned her head to look at the girls, who showed disdain on their faces. One of the girls in yellow clothes said: "Look what, don't think I don't know that you came in after grabbing Qingqing's spot."
It turns out that the girl met Qingqing, and Qingqing was the last one to get the wooden sword, but she voluntarily gave up her quota and sold the wooden sword to a wealthy businessman. The girl thought that Qingqing was forced by the rich businessman, so she transferred her anger to Tao Jingyi.
Because Feng Linzhi had already told Tao Jingyi the whole story, Tao Jingyi was not surprised, but she was too lazy to explain to them.
She made the bed, and went to get two sets of clothes for the new disciples according to Steward Lin's words. It's just that when she came back, she found that the door of the house was closed, and all her quilts and packages were thrown in the yard.
Tao Jingyi stepped forward and pushed the door, but the door did not move at all, apparently locked inside.
She stood in front of the door for a while, sighed, turned around and picked up the quilts and packages in the yard, and left Chengfeng Courtyard.
With her current ability, she can completely open the door with internal force. It's just that if things become a big deal, her identity will be revealed, and she may be kicked out of Xijiange. In this way, Feng Linzhi's hard work will be in vain.
The sky darkened a little bit, and the lanterns in each courtyard were lit up one by one.
Holding the quilt in his arms, Tao Jingyi walked to an open space and stopped. Not far from the open space was a flat rock. She spread the quilt on the rock, opened the package, took out the snacks that Feng Linzhi had prepared for her, and ate some to satisfy her hunger.
Fortunately, summer is coming soon, and the weather is not too cold. She wrapped the new clothes around her body, and she didn't feel cold when she lay down.
After a day's driving, I'm really tired. What's more, there is a breeze here, and there are stars all over the sky for company, which is very pleasant. Tao Jingyi closed his eyes, and after a while his consciousness became a little hazy.
After an unknown amount of time, Tao Jingyi suddenly felt a figure standing in front of him. Tao Jingyi suddenly opened his eyes, facing the dark figure, he shouted, "It's a man or a ghost!"
"Who are you? Why are you sleeping here?" A cold voice came to Tao Jingyi's ears.
The voice was so familiar, Tao Jingyi turned around in his mind, suddenly remembered the owner of the voice, and blurted out: "Dongfang Yue!"
Dongfang Yue frowned.
He is a martial artist, he can see at night, and can clearly see a girl sitting on a rock under the faint starlight. The girl's face is covered with white veil, only showing a pair of beautiful eyebrows and eyes.
The young girl was wrapped in the clothes of a new disciple, and she could tell at a glance that she had just started in the past few days.
"Since you have entered Xijian Pavilion, according to the rules, you should call me senior brother." Dongfang Yue said.
Tao Jingyi realized that his reaction was abnormal, and quickly restrained his surprised expression, and called out in a low voice, "Eldest brother."
She didn't expect to bump into Dongfang Yue so soon, and she didn't react for a while.
She squinted her eyes and looked at Dongfang Yue through the starlight. Dongfang Yue was dressed in crisp blue clothes, her hair was partly loose, and there was still water vapor in the tail, obviously she had just returned from a bath.
Dongfang Yue in the original book is like a moving iceberg. She has always looked expressionless and neatly dressed, but such a lazy and leisurely look is rare. Tao Jingyi couldn't help but take a few more glances.
"You haven't answered me yet. Why are you sleeping here?" Dongfang Yue asked.
"It's really because...because..."
"Because of what?"
"Because I look disgusting, no one wants to share a room with me."
Dongfang Yue cast her eyes towards her, as if she wanted to penetrate her veil and see her whole face clearly.
Tao Jingyi remained motionless, staring at him silently.
After a while, Dongfang Yue turned around and left. Before leaving, he said: "Follow me."
Tao Jingyi froze for a moment before realizing Dongfang Yue's meaning. She immediately picked up her quilt and package, and quickly followed Dongfang Yue's footsteps.
Dongfang Yue is the eldest disciple of Xijiange, and has been famous all these years, so the residence is naturally excellent. He lives alone in a courtyard, which is called Wangyue Pavilion, obviously named after himself.
It's good to be the chief disciple. You can wear whatever you want, choose whatever you want to live in, choose whatever you want, and name whatever you want. Those rules and regulations are all made for the ordinary disciples below, and they, the direct disciples, are not bound.
Dongfang Yue likes to be clean, there is no one else in his residence, only himself.
Tao Jingyi followed him into the Wangyue Pavilion, and seeing that he was about to return to his room, he hurriedly asked, "Brother, where do I live?"
"Choose by yourself." After saying this, Dongfang Yue's back disappeared behind the door.
Tao Jingyi was waiting for his words.
There were a lot of empty rooms in this yard, Tao Jingyi didn't intend to be polite, so he chose a big and spacious room facing south. She spread her quilt in two or three, spread her limbs, lay down on the bed, and let out a long sigh of relief.
There was a scar on her shoulder, which was left by the cold arrow that Dongfang Yue secretly shot in the Longquan Inn.
Through the clothes, gently pressing the scar, Tao Jingyi couldn't help but sigh. Anyway, Dongfang Yue owed her an arrow. Now that she lives in his house and uses his influence to protect herself, she should repay the debt he owed back then.
Tao Jingyi fell asleep not long after.
While sleeping soundly, he was awakened by a knock on the door. Tao Jingyi opened his eyes suddenly, the skylight passed through the window and fell on the ground, casting a patch of mottled light and shadow.
It turned out that the sky was already bright.
There was another knock on the door outside.
Tao Jingyi opened the door, and Dongfang Yue in blue stood outside. His hair was combed meticulously, his clothes were so neat that there was no crease, and his back was straight, as perfect as a statue.
"Morning, senior brother." Tao Jingyi, who was living under the fence, greeted him flatteringly.
"It's time for morning class." Dongfang Yue was indifferent to her smile, turned around and left after saying this.
"Morning class? Now? I haven't had breakfast yet."
"Eat after morning class." Dongfang Yue's voice floated from afar.
Tao Jingyi immediately closed the door, changed her clothes in three steps, took out some dried fruits and other snacks that Feng Linzhi had prepared for her from the package, put them on her waist, and ran out.
Dongfang Yue stood outside the courtyard waiting for her, and when she saw her coming, she walked away.
"Hey, senior brother, wait for me." Tao Jingyi hurried to catch up.
Dongfang Yue unconsciously slowed down.
"Eldest brother, does Xijiange have a tradition of not doing morning classes or eating breakfast?"
"It's easy to get sleepy when you're full of food and drink."
"It's really inhumane rules." Tao Jingyi said as he took out a piece of mung bean cake, lifted the veil and stuffed it into his mouth.
Dongfang Yue glanced at her and said nothing.
Tao Jingyi put the mung bean cake in his mouth, took out a handful of peanuts from his waist and gave it to him: "Here, eat some, you will be hungry if you don't eat breakfast."
"No, I'm used to it." Dongfang Yue shook her head, but she couldn't help but glance at her waist, curious about how many things she carried.
"Forget it if you don't eat it." Tao Jingyi peeled the peanuts and ate them by himself.
"No matter what your purpose is, if you want to stay in Xijian Pavilion, you'd better abide by the rules here." Dongfang Yue said suddenly.
Tao Jingyi was startled, and was about to ask him what he meant, but Dongfang Yue felt the wind on his feet and walked away in an instant.
The author has something to say:
The hero is actually washing Jiange (wearing a vest), not Dongfang Yue.
Dongfang Yue has already recognized the heroine, naturally because... the leader's disguise skills are not good enough.
Refer to that year, when the leader switched from women's clothing to men's clothing, the heroine could recognize him at a glance.
One thing the leader said was wrong, the eyes can also be disguised with top-level disguise technology.
Duan Feibai: ...I will.
Feng Linzhi: Don't talk to me (already autistic)
