Volume 2: Jade Promise Chapter 19: Walking is also a kind of celebration
With several experiences of taking Deer Pill, Tang Zheng's current star veins are fully capable of supporting him to practice at full capacity for a long time.
The sunlight outside the window, from strong to weak, from east to west...
It was not until the moon was above the willow branches that Tang Zheng let out a long breath, slowly stabilized the star tide in his body, and exited the state of cultivation.
"Not bad, not bad. From the beginning to now, in about three hours, I have condensed two hundred strands of two-star star power." Tang Zheng examined the total amount of star power in the Life Palace and stopped with satisfaction.
Most importantly, he was sure he would never have to take drugs again!
Tang Zheng touched his growling belly and said, "If you don't take drugs, you don't have to worry about the side effects! Hahaha!"
After all, the deer pill he took came from that scumbag Ban Yilou. Every time he took it, his beard grew wildly.
He shaved every day until the blade of his razor became dull.
However, only by shaving hard every day can I barely keep my painting style from deviating from the fierce Zhang Fei direction...
He was really fed up with days like this!
With a cheerful and happy mood, Tang Zheng quickly found something to eat, returned to the room and continued to practice.
For five days...
Tang Zheng did nothing, didn't see anyone, and focused on practicing in seclusion.
smoothly.
Only smooth sailing.
It has never been smoother.
The cultivation from the high level of two stars to the peak of two stars should have become increasingly difficult, but Tang Zheng did not feel too much resistance. Until the afternoon of the fifth day, the star power in his life palace finally broke through five thousand strands!
Two-star peak!
He felt refreshed all over, but immediately stopped practicing with that aggressive momentum.
Reaching the peak of two stars is a hurdle. If you don't go through the Star-Seeking Tower once and try to break through to three stars, the chances of success will be much smaller.
Therefore, Tang Zheng's practice has almost come to an end. In the following practice, he must be careful and not break the barrier between the second and third life palaces before deciding on the main star to be introduced into the third life palace!
When he was at the peak of the two-star level, it was actually very dangerous if he accidentally broke through during a battle.
If you are not careful, you may become disabled or even die.
He would definitely not take risks like this again!
Therefore, his next question is how to pass the academy's assessment smoothly!
"I haven't had any sun for five days. I'm going to get moldy!" Tang Zheng twisted his neck. After continuous high-intensity training, although he had an iron will and no major mental problems, he still felt physically tired.
Pushing open the door, facing the scorching sun in the summer afternoon, Tang Zheng squinted his eyes, just in time to see a group of middle-aged women dressed very "festively" walking into the courtyard where he lived.
As soon as he saw how they were dressed, Tang Zheng knew that the matchmaker he had sent away at the banquet a few days ago had returned!
…
Tang Zheng just walked out of the house.
This group of matchmakers, whose voices were as lethal as a reinforced company, quickly gathered around.
As soon as they saw Tang Zheng, their voices rose an entire octave: "Mr. Tang, you see, we have completed every task you assigned to us."
"That's right. But this one isn't enough for you. We know quite a few of this type. How about we introduce ten more to you?"
"That's right. If you get tired of playing around and see a girl you like, we promise to introduce her to you. We have everything you need, whether fat or thin..."
"Stop, stop!" Tang Zheng quickly took out a few purple gold coins and threw them into the hands of the matchmakers.
In just a moment...
He felt as if his brain was flooded with ten thousand comments!
The lethality is too strong.
Finally, I can have some peace and quiet.
Tang Zheng finally had time to raise his head and look at the graceful woman who had been standing there quietly behind the matchmakers.
"You must be tired. Want to take a rest first?" Tang Zheng asked with a smile.
The woman lowered her head and nodded slightly.
However, her expression could not be seen clearly under the thin veil.
Tang Zheng smiled, and gave a few instructions to the matchmakers who had put away the purple gold coins and whose faces were as bright as chrysanthemums. He watched them lead the girls away, and then walked out of the door.
After leaving the living courtyard, Tang Zheng went directly to the room where Xu Qingyan lived.
He knocked on the door, and after getting a response, he immediately pushed the door open and walked in.
"Is there something?" Seeing Tang Zheng enter the room, Xu Qingyan gently put down the teacup in his hand and asked.
"Are you free?" Tang Zheng laughed, sat down across from him carelessly, picked up the teacup and drank a full gulp, then asked.
Xu Qingyan nodded and waited for Tang Zheng to continue.
Tang Zheng drank another cup of tea, wiped his mouth, stood up and said, "Okay, then come with me for a walk!"
"Take a walk?" Xu Qingyan looked at the sun outside. "Now?"
On a hot day, when the sun is at its scorching hot , do you want to go out for a walk?
Xu Qingyan was not sure what Tang Zheng was up to.
Seeing that Tang Zheng didn't say anything, he asked again: "Where are you going?"
"Just... take a tour of the Tang Mansion."
"..."Xu Qingyan was really well-mannered. He didn't even ask questions like "What is there to visit in the Tang Mansion?"
"Oh, don't look so confused. I just broke through the two-star peak today, so let's go for a walk together to celebrate!" Tang Zheng said confidently.
Upon hearing that Tang Zheng had broken through to the peak of two stars, Xu Qingyan was slightly stunned.
In less than a month, he broke through from the high-level two-star to the peak of two-star!
Anyone who hears this speed would probably jump in surprise.
However, Xu Qingyan was only stunned for a moment, then he immediately regained his calm expression, nodded, stood up, raised his hand slightly, and made a gesture of invitation to Tang Zheng.
As for whether taking a walk was a way of celebration, he had simply ignored it...
"Hey, I've reached the peak of two stars, two stars, the peak! You don't even have a surprised expression, nor a word of congratulations? Do you know that I'm very disappointed when you say this?" Tang Zheng followed him out immediately.
However, when he went out, he gestured towards the corner.
Tang Zheng sang randomly "Take a hundred steps after a meal, and you will live to be ninety-nine" as he took Xu Qingyan around the Tang Mansion.
The two of them walked one after the other at the speed of a marathon, circling the entire courtyard for about fifty times before Tang Zheng stopped and patted his waist.
He raised his head and looked at Xu Qingyan, whose face was not even slightly sweaty. He frowned a little depressed and said, "Okay, okay, we won't go away. Let's go back to our own homes and find our own mothers!"
Xu Qingyan stopped, looked at the breathless Tang Zheng, nodded, turned around and left without asking any more questions.
He didn't have the slightest curiosity about Tang Zheng's bizarre way of celebration.
Looking at Xu Qingyan's leaving back, Tang Zheng's mouth corners suddenly curled up, revealing a sly smile, and secretly followed him: "I don't believe that you can keep your poker face later!"
Of course, Xu Qingyan didn't hear Tang Zheng's muttering and went straight back to his room.
When he reached the door, he suddenly stopped, his brows slightly furrowed...
Someone has been to his room!
Xu Qingyan held the sword in his hand, mobilized his star power, and suddenly pushed open the door.
But……
But he saw a girl sitting on his bed.
Eyebrows as light as distant black, eyes as bright as stars, a delicate and straight nose, lips that smell like orchids...
They are all so familiar!
Even his room was filled with a faint, very unique body fragrance.
This taste...
Xu Qingyan's breathing paused.
In the past, no matter how bloody or difficult the situation was, this fragrance could help him fall asleep peacefully.
The girl on the bed was smiling at him.
Just like every time he returned to Yimeng Pavilion in Wulong Town and opened the door...
Wait quietly for him to come back!
"Tianxiang?!" Xu Qingyan looked at the girl on the bed, and the calmness on his face finally turned into a trace of astonishment.
"Mr. Xu." Tianxiang stood up from the bed with a smile, walked to the table in the room, poured a cup of freshly brewed tea, walked gracefully to Xu Qingyan, and held the tea in his hands.
Xu Qingyan held the teacup, looking at the faint white mist lingering in the teacup and the familiar face of Tianxiang in the mist, and felt a little dazed.
"Is it... Tang Zheng?" Xu Qingyan asked.
"Well, Young Master Tang sent someone to Yimeng Pavilion to redeem me, and then took me here, saying that he wanted to give you a surprise." Tianxiang nodded and answered softly.
Xu Qingyan was silent.
Three hundred taels of purple gold Tongbao.
He had already asked about Tianxiang's ransom price before leaving Wulong Town.
Although Xu Qingyan is not short of money.
However, such a huge sum of money as three hundred taels of purple gold is probably something that no one in the entire Wulong Town can come up with at once!
The owner of Yimeng Pavilion has calculated the account very clearly. This price is more than enough to book Tianxiang for ten years.
After ten years, the value of an oiran has naturally been squeezed out completely.
In ten years, there will naturally be a new courtesan who will be promoted to become a new cash cow.
If you can't come up with three hundred purple golds, you naturally can't take away this money tree that hasn't yet harvested enough purple gold.
"My savings are less than three hundred purple gold. And now, I don't have time to make money." Xu Qingyan suddenly said. The original agreement with Tang Zheng was not employment, but mutual assistance.
"I understand. In fact, I agreed to be redeemed just because I wanted to see you again. Tomorrow... I will go back and ask the boss to return the purple gold to Mr. Tang. I have some savings and will make up the difference." Tianxiang gently hugged Xu Qingyan from behind and said while leaning on his back.
“Do you hate me…” Xu Qingyan turned around and gently held Tianxiang’s face.
"I hate it, but I know that you have your own way. It's enough for me to be a scenery that you will remember. I don't ask you to stop and linger." Tianxiang replied with a smile, with tears in her eyes.
Xu Qingyan sighed softly, picked up Tianxiang by the waist and walked to the bed.
"Oh my god! He can even pick up girls like this? He even sends them to his doorstep, but he wants to send them back. People like him don't live their whole lives alone. But a good young man like me is still single. God must be blinded by my handsomeness!"
Outside the door, at the base of the wall.
Tang Zheng secretly put his ear to the wall and said speechlessly.
