Chapter 242 Saving the Wife - Finding Du Lian
After Zhou Leng woke up, he felt refreshed. He stretched comfortably and sat on the head of the bed. He breathed a sigh of relief when he felt the pain in his meridians and weakness all over his body getting less and less.
Later, you can slowly exercise to restore your strength. Although you can no longer cultivate internal strength, you must ensure that you can live a "normal life".
Qiu Jing heard the noise inside the room. He knocked on the door and asked softly, "Master, you are awake now. It is already 3 p.m. Do you want to have some food?"
Zhou Leng stood up and put on a dark blue long gown with a vertical collar and slanted collar. He said softly:
"Come in, I'm really hungry. After eating a few bites, I'm going to test you two to see if you two have been lazy in the past few months."
After hearing this, Qiu Jing's face tensed for a moment, then he stood up and told Changsheng to bring the food he had prepared.
A cup of tea.
Changcheng walked into the room carrying a wooden tray. A simple meat porridge, side dishes, and a few snacks were placed on the table.
Zhou Leng was eating alone at the table in the front hall, while the other two stood obediently in the hall.
Zhou Leng didn't follow any rules about not talking while eating or sleeping. After taking a few bites, he began to ask the two about what they were consulting, and then answered many of the doubts they had in their minds.
After dinner, the two disciples fought each other in the yard again.
Zhou Leng stood by and occasionally said something to give the two of them some advice.
After a quarter of an hour, the two still hadn't decided the winner. Instead, they each took a few steps back, panting and looking at their master anxiously.
Zhou Leng smiled and said:
"That's good. It shows you haven't been lazy. That's all for today. Tomorrow you will pack up your belongings, as well as the clothes and books in my room. We are moving out."
When the two men saw the master looking up at the rooftops in the distance, they bowed their heads and returned to their own rooms, then quickly picked up their pens to record what the master had taught them today and their own experiences.
Zhou Leng was the only one in the courtyard. The afterglow of dusk cast a layer of warmth on her. He said softly:
"Come out, I'm not that useless."
In a few breaths, a figure jumped out from the shadow of the roof and stood in front of Zhou Leng. She looked at the handsome man and said:
"I haven't seen you for more than a month. You are more charming than ever. I also heard that your meridians were severed after you killed a celestial being. How did you find me?"
Zhou Leng looked at the other person's face which was somewhat similar to Du Sheng's. He said:
"Are you Shadow? Spying in secret is not a gentleman's behavior. Is there something wrong with your sudden visit?"
The man suddenly straightened his back and said, "My name is Du Yi, and I have something to discuss with you."
Du Yi's ears suddenly turned red. She stared at the man and said softly:
"I haven't seen you for over a month, and you've changed so much. However, it's understandable that you've changed after such a bizarre experience and suffering."
Zhou Leng said expressionlessly: "Please tell me what's the matter?"
Du nodded and said:
"You can't cultivate yourself now, and your health has deteriorated. Have you ever thought about your future plans? Actually, my family is quite wealthy, and there is no husband in the courtyard. If you... you are willing to marry me and grow old together, I can promise that I will only have you in this life, and I will never have two hearts. Are you willing?"
Du Lian, who was squatting in a secret place at the foot of the wall in the courtyard, Du Sheng, who was standing quietly listening in the side room, and Du Shiyi, who was sitting on a tree in the courtyard, all pricked up their ears waiting for the man's answer.
Before Zhou Leng knew it, he had become a bloody Mary Sue who was loved and competed by everyone. If he knew it, he would definitely sigh at his own damn charm. What should he do?
Zhou Leng looked at the smile on the other person's face and said calmly:
"I don't want to. I'm a man who wants to marry a woman. I can't be someone else's husband. Besides, you're not the type I like. If there's nothing else, I wouldn't invite you in for tea."
Du Yi pursed his lips and said:
"I can too... Well, sorry to bother you today." After she said that, she slowly walked towards the gate of the courtyard, trying to wait for the person behind her to call her, but unfortunately, the person had already turned around and went back to the room.
Zhou Leng knew that she was now a broken beauty. A beauty who was no longer threatened by powerful force meant that she was easier to control. This kind of love with additional conditions could not move people. Moreover, the other party had a very good relationship with Du Sheng, so Du Yi was not a good choice.
The three people in the dark got the answers they wanted, and they left quickly one after another. Only Du Sheng knew the existence of the other two, and there was a bit of inexplicable anger on her face.
On the second day, Zhou Leng was wearing a white robe, a dark blue translucent slanting collar long gown, a dark blue Confucian scarf on his head, silver bills in his arms, and two disciples following him as he walked on the main street of Yizhou.
Although this place is not as prosperous as Nanzhou and Luocheng, it has its own charm.
The three of them slowly walked to the shop where Du Lian was.
It was rare for Du Lian to be dressed in the rough style of a traveling merchant today.
When Du Lian got home yesterday, he felt that the fat on his belly was a bit annoying, so he punished himself by not eating dinner and instead practiced martial arts in the yard for an hour.
Du Lian was distressed when she looked at her unkempt face in the bronze mirror. Under the guidance of her servants, she applied melon slices on her face. The next day, she found her skirt and shawl, which she had not worn for a long time, and put them on. Then, she stood at the counter in a daze under the gaze of many shop assistants.
In fact, there was no specific reason. It was just that Du Lian heard the man say yesterday that he was moving out today, so the two of them might meet, and she didn't want him to see her in such a dirty state.
Zhou Leng stepped into the store. He looked at the dazed woman. She was obviously not good at dressing up. The powder on her face was not evenly applied. Her skin was tanned yellow and black, but she was wearing a delicate pink skirt with a blue silk ribbon tied around her waist and a light yellow shawl. It was really hard to describe her.
Zhou Leng suppressed his smile and said:
"Du Lian, are you free today? I want to see if there is a shop with a yard and buy one."
Du Lian heard the voice and looked up to see the man. She had not slept all night yesterday, thinking about Du Yi's marriage proposal. She knew that the man wanted to marry a woman.
Du Lian couldn't help but ask herself if she could be someone else's wife? This was about women's dignity, she didn't want to go, but that person was Zhou Leng! If it was Mr. Zhou, then she wanted to be the other person's wife.
Du Lian still remembered that the other party concealed his face when they first met, and she was just wrapping him up according to the instructions of the Pavilion Master. Then she gradually learned from other people that he was also an orphan adopted by the Du family and had been the Pavilion Master's husband. Later, she saw that the other party had reached the Heaven and Man Realm but ended up with such a tragic end. She also heard him say that he wanted revenge for the people of the Du family who died tragically.
Du Lian couldn't tell whether she liked him, respected him, or loved him. She just hoped that he could live a peaceful and happy life for the rest of his life. If she was the one who could make him worry-free, how wonderful it would be.
Du Lian summoned up his courage and said:
"I have nothing to do today, so I am happy to accompany you to look around. I am most familiar with Yizhou City and I have brokers I know well, so I will definitely not let you make a loss."
Zhou Leng took a step forward, wiped off the uneven powder on the woman's face with his fingertips and said:
"Thank you very much. As a thank you gift, I will go with you to buy some rouge and clothes that suit you."
Du Lian clenched his fists, but smiled kindly and said, "Of course I am very happy to do so."
Qiu Jing and Chang Cheng followed behind the master. Seeing that the master was very friendly to the woman, they looked at each other and then made little expressions with their eyes.
