Chapter 10: Third Master's mistress, Zhenrun
The woman was facing the door sideways, looking up at the calligraphy on the wall.
From the side, she looked about twenty years old, with a tulle covering her face, waist-length hair, and a snow-white long skirt that was tightened by a belt to make it look thrilling.
Xu Chong’s first reaction was that he saw a ghost.
The door was locked from the outside, and the lock was opened by myself.
A woman suddenly appeared out of nowhere. Could she be the good girl who was murdered by the Third Master and came back to seek revenge?
Then the second reaction was, this ghost is really smooth...
The eyebrows on one side alone are incredibly beautiful, not to mention the exaggerated figure.
According to the principle that the greater the mass, the greater the gravity, Xu Chong's gaze naturally stopped at a certain place.
"Not bad, I wasn't scared. You're braver than I thought."
The female ghost chuckled and turned her head, "...Where are you looking?!"
Buzz.
A strange wave spread out from her body and suddenly condensed into a sharp force, hovering above Xu Chong's face, stinging his eyelids.
“?!”
Faced with this sudden attack, Xu Chong was not afraid but became excited: "What is this? Demonic magic? Ghost magic?"
As he spoke, he raised his hand, wanting to touch that power.
“…”
The female ghost was speechless for a while, then she dispersed her power and said, "Come in, I am a human, not a monster, and I am here to find you."
"Find me?"
Xu Chong subconsciously looked around, and after making sure that no one was there, he quickly walked into the study and locked the door.
The woman's eyes flashed with admiration, and she said, "My name is Sun Yourong. Your father asked me to take care of you after his death."
Entrusted by the Third Master... Could she be the Third Master's mistress?
Why did she come to find me, to fight for the Xu Mansion?
Xu Chong guessed and said calmly, "Xu Youan entrusted him? Oh, after all the things I've done over the years, he probably regrets having me as his son, right?"
"this……"
Sun Yourong paused, her expression becoming somewhat sad, and said, "Whether you believe it or not, your father has always been a good man."
Good person?
Xu Chong's heart was slightly moved, but he continued to maintain his persona on the surface, sneering: "It doesn't matter whether I believe it or not, go ask the people of Canglong County whether they believe it or not, go ask the souls of those who were harmed by him and whose families were destroyed or not, whether they believe it or not!"
"you!"
Sun Yourong was furious, her voice sharpening: "Everyone else can look at him like that, but you can't! Why do you think he died? It's all because of you!"
Xu Chong's eyes shone, and he continued to ask: "Speak clearly , what do you mean for me?"
"Because he doesn't want you..."
She stopped talking halfway, and Sun Yourong was like a deflated ball. "Forget it, everyone is gone. What's the point of talking about this now?"
“…”
Xu Chong cursed in his heart.
Sure enough, there are two ways to drive people crazy. The first is to only say half of what you mean.
"I came to you because I was afraid you would do something stupid, but I didn't expect you to use the people's power to enter the government office... Oh, you really only care about the people in your heart."
Sun Yourong's tone was somewhat sad and self-deprecating.
"You entered someone else's house without permission and sneered at the owner of the house. What on earth do you want to do?"
Xu Chong was getting a little impatient with being confused.
"Oh, it's good to draw a clear line."
Sun Yourong's face turned cold. "Since I'm here on someone's behalf, I should fulfill my promise. You can make a request of me, and I will do my best to fulfill it within my ability."
"Require?"
Xu Chong's eyebrows twitched and fell on the wrong place again.
"I promised your father to take care of you, but I didn't promise him not to kill you."
Sun Yourong said coldly.
“Ahem…”
Xu Chong looked away awkwardly and said, "Forget about the request. I do have a few questions I want to ask you."
Hearing this, Sun Yourong's expression lightened up a little: "Ask me, I'll tell you what I can."
"What was that power you just used?"
“…”
Sun Yourong thought Xu Chong would ask about Xu Youan, but she didn't expect it to be this.
"?"
Xu Chong frowned, "Forget it, go away. You can't even tell me this. I have nothing else to ask."
"It's the power of martial arts."
Sun Yourong was disappointed and her voice became colder.
"Tell me in detail!" Xu Chong was excited.
"You're not surprised. It seems someone has told you something."
Sun Yourong looked at Xu Chong with some surprise, and then said, "Then I will tell you about the principles of martial arts."
"In essence, the process of martial arts training is to strengthen and use the internal strength to open the acupoints and meridians."
"The human body has 720 acupoints, 12 and 8 extraordinary meridians."
"Nine-level acupoint opening means opening eighty acupoints each time, and ten-level meridian opening means opening two meridians each time."
"Normally, it takes about a month for an ordinary person to reach the first level of enlightenment. If it takes more than that, then the aptitude is low and it will be difficult to achieve anything."
One month?
It only took me one day to break through to the first level of enlightenment.
No, if you really count it, it was only a quarter of an hour.
It seems that I am indeed a genius picked out of a million.
Xu Chong was smug, and with a turn of his eyes he asked again, "What realm are you in, and how long did it take you?"
"I started to practice martial arts when I was twelve years old. Now I have reached the ninth level of enlightenment and am about to open my meridians."
The ninth level of enlightenment? !
Okay, I admit, I was a little rude just now...
Xu Chong felt relieved that Rongnu had no hostility towards him.
"Anything else you want to ask? If not..."
"Wait! There's another question!"
Xu Chong spoke quickly, and after a little consideration, he made up his mind: "I feel that the county government is a little special. Do you know this?"
"Um?"
Sun Yourong's expression was stern, and she asked back, "Do you have any martial arts skills?"
Xu Chong was silent for a while.
He didn't expect that he just asked a vague question and it was so easily connected to the martial arts.
"Why do you think so?"
"This is just a county government office. It only has one special feature, which is to speed up martial arts training. Since you can find this, you must have already started practicing."
Sun Yourong said with a strange look on her face: "No wonder you didn't ask me for the martial arts technique, it turns out you already have it."
Can I also ask for martial arts skills?
Why the hell didn’t you say it earlier?
Xu Chong was furious and said shamelessly: "Well, my skills are incomplete. If you have them..."
"It's too late. Martial arts cannot be practiced together. It will cause the acupoints to be damaged and turn you into a cripple."
Sun Yourong shook her head.
"All right."
Xu Chong had no choice but to ask, "Why can the county government increase the speed of cultivation? What causes it?"
"public opinion."
"The Daqing court gathers the opinions of the people all over the world. All the government offices of the court have the effect of increasing the speed of cultivation. The larger the government office, the stronger the effect."
"If you are promoted to the government office, or even the capital office in the future, you will feel it more clearly."
I see.
Xu Chong was a little unwilling: "What about other than the imperial court? Isn't there any special place that exists naturally?"
"Yes, but that's not something you can access right now."
Sun Yourong looked at Xu Chong deeply, "And what makes you think those places are not under the control of the imperial court?"
He didn’t know if it was an illusion, but Xu Chong heard a deep sense of powerlessness in Sun Yourong’s tone.
"Also, you'd better not let anyone find out that you have practiced martial arts."
After a pause, Sun Yourong spoke again.
"Why?"
"Daqing has strict control over martial arts techniques. If you don't want to be convicted, it's best to wait until you have exchanged the techniques. Then, using martial arts power won't arouse suspicion."
"If we can't practice together, wouldn't it be a waste of contribution if we exchange them?"
"You can also choose not to exchange it, and then hide it all your life without using martial arts."
“…”
"Anything else you want to ask?"
"there is none left."
The most crucial information has been obtained, and the rest cannot be asked at Xu Chong’s current level.
"In that case, you and I will say goodbye."
Sun Yourong turned around, paused, and added: "See you later..."
As soon as the words fell, a figure flashed by.
With a clang, the window opened. Before Xu Chong could react, it closed with a clang again, and even automatically latched, locking the door from the inside.
When I looked up again, there was no sign of Sun Yourong.
