Chapter 59: Master, please save me
Chapter 59: Master, please save me (please read)
Qiu Tong said calmly, "I was born in a poor family and was sold to a brothel when I was young. Because I was quite pretty, I was carefully cultivated and became proficient in music, chess, calligraphy, painting, flowers, birds, insects and fish."
"When I was sixteen, I performed on stage and became famous. In order to raise my value, the brothel owner only said that I was a prostitute who only sold my art but not my body. In just two years, my reputation became even more famous."
"At that time, a wealthy man, a thousand gold coins, wanted to buy my virginity. The madam was finally tempted, but it happened that Elder Li Guan was meeting a guest at Yubi. He heard a piece of pipa music I played and was greatly impressed. He then wanted to redeem me."
"The madam treated me as a cash cow and was unwilling to agree. However, Li Guan revealed his identity as the inner peak elder of the Yuncang Sword Sect, so she dared not disobey."
"Although Elder Li Guan had an accident just one month after I was admitted to the room, to be honest, I am no longer a virgin."
The woman recounted her own experiences slowly, without appearing sad or pretentious, and she concealed nothing about her background or past.
When Lu Chengfeng heard this and looked at her graceful figure again, he felt it was a pity that the originally peerless painting was stained with ink and was no longer flawless.
But perhaps it was precisely this kind of experience that cultivated her indifferent character, like a noble scholar in the mountains, who is not surprised by fame or disgrace, and is calm and at ease.
Lu Chengfeng had a lot of things on his mind and didn't want to stay here for long. He just came to take a look according to the rules.
But after talking with Qiu Tong for a few sentences, he felt that this woman had her own unique views on people and things, but she was detached from the world, not fighting or competing, like floating clouds in the sky or flowing water in a stream, and had a bit of the Taoist inaction.
Lu Chengfeng felt that talking with her was like drinking sweet rain, and he was completely unaware of the passage of time. It was not until the little maid Dier called him to eat that he came to his senses.
"Since my husband is here, please try Die'er's cooking. She is quite talented in cooking, especially vegetarian dishes, which are unique and quite refreshing." Qiu Tong said.
Lu Chengfeng had always loved meat, but now he was in the mood. He stretched out his hand and helped Qiu Tong, who had been kneeling for a long time, to stand up.
The beauty's hands were slender, and when they were placed on his, a faint fragrance immediately came to him, and it was not known whether it was the scent of plum blossoms or body odor, but it was refreshing.
Lu Chengfeng was somewhat tempted, so he turned his wrist, took her hand and walked out of the inner room.
Qiu Tong did not refuse and followed obediently.
When the maid Die'er saw the two of them coming out hand in hand, her eyes were immediately filled with smiles, "Master, Madam, come and have your meal soon!"
"Haha, I heard from Qiu Tong that Die'er your cooking skills are pretty good. I'd like to try it today." Lu Chengfeng and Qiu Tong sat down on either side and then began to eat.
I have to say that Die'er's cooking skills are indeed different. The various dishes are neither meaty nor greasy, but have unique flavors that linger on the lips and teeth and whet people's appetite.
Lu Chengfeng ate a lot without realizing it, and almost all the seven or eight side dishes on the table were gone.
"Hehe, if you like it, Die'er will make it for you next time." Die'er felt happy seeing him eating with relish. She said with a smile while cleaning up the dishes.
Lu Chengfeng asked, "You just watched the two of us eat, but you haven't eaten yet, right? Is there any food left?"
Die'er's big eyes smiled like crescents, and dimples appeared on her chubby little face. "Master, there are some left. You talk to my wife, I'll go make tea for you."
Lu Chengfeng waved his hand and said, "Don't worry, I'm going to go to Yuxian Peak now. I'm going to stay in seclusion for half a year and kowtow to my master."
Die'er hurriedly said, "Master, are you leaving now? You haven't been here for long..."
"Die'er." Qiu Tong said softly, and Die'er immediately stopped talking, quickly put away the things on the table, and went out of the room.
Lu Chengfeng felt that this little maid was quite polite. She was sharp-tongued to outsiders, but she was well-mannered and polite in her words and deeds in the room. She was also quite diligent. "My husband is going to see the master for serious matters. Logically, he should have gone to see him as soon as he came out of retreat. It's already late after noon. So don't delay any more. Go early and come back early." Qiu Tong always looked calm and indifferent, and there was no trace of reluctance in her words.
Lu Chengfeng nodded and said, "I'll go to Master first. I'll arrange two more maids for you to do the cleaning and rough work. If you need anything, just tell them to get it from the storehouse on the mountain."
"If there is anything that is not in the warehouse, please send someone to tell me, and I will arrange for someone to fill it in when the time comes."
"It's not peaceful in the sect these days, and Dier is a pretty girl. It's not safe for her to go to the town at the foot of the mountain to do her shopping alone, so don't let her go out."
"My husband is right. I will follow your arrangements." Qiu Tong responded and said nothing more.
Lu Chengfeng stood up and said, "Then I'll leave first." When he reached the door, he turned around and said, "I'll come to see you another day."
Qiu Tong nodded, "Husband, please walk slowly. It just snowed and the road on the mountain is slippery."
Lu Chengfeng smiled and turned away.
After leaving the courtyard, he couldn't help but look back, recalling the woman's every move, he felt that she was like a snow lotus on a high mountain, which could only be admired from a distance and not played with.
It’s not that she is not beautiful enough, it’s just that her cold and aloof temperament makes people dare not desecrate her.
"The land of gentleness is the tomb of heroes, but after meeting for the first time, I feel reluctant to leave."
He sighed and placed his hand on the hilt of the sword. The cool feeling spread from his palm and he regained his composure.
Lu Chengfeng used his Qinggong skills to travel quickly all the way, and soon he arrived at Yuxian Peak. However, this time he did not meet Zhou Tong. It was still Zhu Yuxian's personal maid who came to greet him.
"Master Chengfeng, how come you haven't come for such a long time since you became my disciple? This is quite impolite." Caixia changed into a blue satin palace dress today. She looked like a lady-in-waiting in the palace, dignified and beautiful, yet generous.
After seeing Lu Chengfeng, he spoke with some complaints.
"Sister Caixia, there really is a reason for this. I was locked up in the Law Enforcement Hall for half a year and was just released today. After I corrected myself, I hurried to meet Master." Lu Chengfeng said.
"How could this happen? I heard that you made contributions during the beast tide. How could you be locked up for no reason?" Caixia raised her eyebrows slightly. "Who dares to be so bold? Are you bullying me because there is no one on Yuxian Peak?"
"I knew that Sister Caixia loves me. I will talk to Sister in detail after I pay my respects to Master." Lu Chengfeng said with a smile.
Caixia finally reacted and said quickly, "Then come with me. The master is having tea, so we come at the right time."
"Thank you, Sister Caixia." Lu Chengfeng thanked her.
Caixia led him to a door in the palace and whispered to the inside: "Master, Master Chengfeng is here to see you."
"Heh!" A cold female voice came from inside, "Why are you still here? Why don't you go and worship that old man in the Law Enforcement Hall as your master? Wouldn't it be better?"
Upon hearing this, Lu Chengfeng fell to his knees and said, "Master, I know I am wrong. I beg you to save me, otherwise I am afraid my life will be in danger."
