I am aging gracefully in the world of famous books

On the second day after Han Ning'er arrived at Wanmei Villa, Pei Xiang said goodbye and left.

The Simons didn't hold back too much, because they thought they would see new friends again soon.

Pei Xiang led the horse to Qingqu Town alone, and stayed in front of the newly rented house for a while.At this time, it was the time for common people to get up and go out in the morning, so the residents in the alley noticed Pei Xiang and recognized her as the new neighbor who was about to move in.

Everyone greeted each other one sentence at a time. Someone asked when Pei Xiang would come to live permanently, and someone asked when Mrs. Pei would come to reunite with her husband.

During the chat, the neighbors learned from Pei Xiang that she was going to leave Qingqu Town for a while, go to her hometown to pick up the lady, and then the husband and wife would return here together.

"At that time, my wife and I will treat all the neighbors to a lively housewarming wine."

After greeting her future neighbors, Pei Xiang opened the door and entered the house she rented.Looking around, she put a letter written in advance on the beam of the main hall, and then made a more obvious code instruction on the wall.

——Although the possibility is extremely small, if Yu Luosha chases after him, it is better to make some preparations in advance.

Pei Xiang carefully locked the gate of the small courtyard, and left the simple and peaceful Qingqu Town on horseback.

Looking back, she sighed with some regret.

——It’s a good place to relax and retire, it’s a pity...

She touched the horse's neck, pinched her legs lightly, and quickly disappeared on the official road outside the town.

In another small town not far from Qingqu Town, Pei Xiang sold the horse for a modest price, and then rented a room in an inn.

She made another disguise, abandoned Pei Xiaofeng's identity, and sneaked out from the window of the inn.

A day later, Pei Xiang appeared in a densely populated town. At this time, she had become a young widow who had just lost her husband, and she was planning to settle down in this town with a thriving business.

She walked around the city, and after inquiring about some useful information, she quickly finalized a new residence.

Pei Xiang rented an exquisite small house with a single door. It is located in the penultimate house on Tianshui Lane in Yongling City. There is a well, a flower stand and a pomegranate tree in the courtyard. The environment is very quiet and elegant.

This is where she really wants to live.

At the entrance of Tianshui Lane, there lived a woman named Cui who was very experienced in delivering babies.

On West Street, not far from Tianshui Lane, there is a century-old medical clinic.

In the medical center, three generations of grandparents and grandchildren are good doctors with honest hearts. What's more, the female family members of their family also know some medical skills, and often treat some women's minor ailments to the nearby women.

Pei Xiang was busy moving, and after she finished dealing with a series of trivial matters, she suddenly found that a new tenant had moved into the yard next door.It is said that on the second day of her stay, a father and son became her new neighbors.

One day, when Pei Xiang came back from outside, he met the father and son fighting at the gate of the courtyard.

The three-year-old child giggled and opened his small hands to go out to play. The father was busy with something, so he carried his son and walked into the house. However, the child was very clever, and his small hand hooked the door knocker and would not let go.

The young father greeted Pei Xiang while coaxing the child.

"Miss Pei, our family is renovating the yard these days, there will be some noise during the day, please bear with me, the work will be completed in a day or two."

Seeing the father and son getting along happily, Pei Xiang pursed his lips and took out a piece of soft rice cake from the basket, shaking it in front of the child's eyes.

The child's attention was immediately attracted by the sweet rice cakes, and the hand holding the door knocker was slowly released.

"It's okay, brother Lu is too polite, how can there be so much attention among neighbors."

The child on the opposite side was finally completely attracted by the rice cakes, and let go of the door knocker to grab the rice cakes.The child's father took the opportunity to fix his little hand, neither letting him grab the door knocker again, nor letting him go to get Pei Xiang's rice cakes.

"ah--"

An unbelievable aggrieved expression flashed in a pair of big black grape-like eyes.

Pei Xiang burst into laughter, and put the pastry wrapped in oil paper in the child's pocket.

"Add a meal to Eggy."

The father did not put off too much, anyway, the neighbors can always help each other.

The moment the cake was put in his pocket, the little girl Lu Dandan who had just looked aggrieved immediately put away the tears in her eyes and smiled sweetly and softly again.

Lu Yu snorted and said nothing to his fair, tender and clever son.

"Why is Brother Lu suddenly wanting to renovate the yard? Are you planning to replant some flowers and trees?"

"No, it's for this kid. He's three years old, and it's time to start learning some family martial arts. I'll level a piece of land for him and let him practice some basic skills."

Pei Xiang nodded thoughtfully.

She had long known that Lu Yu had some kung fu skills, and Lu Yu also knew that she had some tricks.

"Does it mean that children should start laying a solid foundation at the age of three? Has Brother Lu's family always taught the next generation to practice martial arts like this?"

"what?"

Lu Yu was stunned for a moment, and replied frankly: "No, I am the first martial arts practitioner in our family, and I don't know how old a child should start to lay the foundation. I just see that this brat is full of energy, can run and run. I just want to find something for him to do, so as not to make trouble all day long."

Pei Xiang smiled: "Brother Lu, don't say this to other neighbors, otherwise all the aunts and aunts in Tianshui Lane will come to 'chat' with you, so that you won't bully Eggy."

Mentioning this, Lu Yu twitched the corner of his mouth:

"I didn't expect the little guy to be so pleasing to people. When I took him out for a walk, he was always stuffed with a lot of things. I didn't see him being better than other people's children."

Pei Xiang thought of Lu Dandan's excellent "female popularity", and felt that some "talents" were really innate.

After chatting a few more gossips and anecdotes about Tianshui Lane, the two separated.

When Pei Xiang returned home, thinking of Lu Dandan's cute appearance, he lowered his head and touched his stomach, hoping that this little guy would be as healthy and lively as Lu Dandan.

——Although your father is not very good in other aspects, and his personality is even less pleasing, his physical fitness is still good.

A month passed in a flash. On this day, when Pei Xiang went out to buy vegetables, his pupils shrank suddenly when he passed the intersection of Xie Street.

She took a deep breath, walked slowly to the place where the notice was posted on the stone wall at the intersection, and stared at the content above without blinking.

It was an ordinary missing person notice, but Pei Xiang understood the hidden Rakshasa code word in the notice.

——Come and see me, Pei Xiang.

Pei Xiang glanced vaguely at the meeting address on the notice, it was the house she rented in Qingqu Town.

—He did find it.

——Has the Rakshasa Sect disbanded?Are you down?so free!

——I should have time to run now, but that person's personality is too cloudy...

Pei Xiang pursed his lips when he thought of Xu Er and others in Qingqu Town and the Ximen couple in Wanmei Villa.

A few days ago in Qingqu Town, Yu Luocha finished reading the letter taken from the beam with a cold face, waved her hand, and asked Xu Er to be let go.

Pei Xiang's letter was short and cold.There is no sensationalism or justification between the lines, it just tells the readers that if they want to find her, they should rely on their real skills and don't embarrass the uninformed.

It's a very simple aggressive method, but it works, especially against Yu Luocha.

If Pei Xiang showed a trace of begging for mercy and nostalgia in the letter, Yu Luocha would be offended instead.But she did figure out his temper, or in other words, her own character happened to hit Yu Luosha completely, and she could always get the result she hoped for.

Yu Luocha thought that when Pei Xiang left Feixian Island, he pretended to be the guard of Wanmei Villa. On the one hand, it was because of the many advantages of that identity: the status of a dead person, an outsider, and a reason to leave; Without the caution that she doesn't want to implicate unrelated people.

——She is sending one of her own weaknesses, which is not considered a weakness, to me.

Realizing this point, Yu Luosha didn't want to use this point to manipulate her.Because this will make Yu Luocha feel invincible, and feel depressed about being looked down upon by his own woman.

When dealing with other people, he can use all kinds of cunning and ruthless methods to achieve his goals without any scruples, but when dealing with the only woman he has ever been tempted by, Yu Luocha's pride prevents him from doing things without any compromise.

"An Yi, go and check, the nearby towns..."

An Yi bowed his head and waited for a while, but did not hear the second half of the order.

He couldn't help raising his head quietly, with some surprise in his eyes, because Yu Luocha seldom paused and hesitated when giving orders.

Yu Luocha closed her eyes and thought about Pei Xiang's character, and finally said with gritted teeth:

"Go and look up the widows who have just lost their husbands from outside. It's better to know some skills."

"...As ordered."

The dark guard left with a whoosh, this time faster than any previous time when he was ordered to leave.

Besides, on Pei Xiang's side, after she finished reading Yu Luocha's order conveyed in the code language of the Western Demon Cult, she began to think about what to do next.

She returned home with a heavy heart, looking at the road map to study a new way out.

In the evening, Pei Xiang was sitting under the flower stand with a plate of fruit to enjoy the cool, when suddenly Lu Dandan's heart-piercing cry came from the next door, followed by Lu Yu's complaint.

"I haven't even touched your hair, and you're crying so loudly. Let me tell you, Lu Erdan, no one can save you today by interceding. I will beat your ass until it blooms!"

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh'h'

After Pei Xiang listened for a while, the crying gradually subsided, but the intermittent sobbing made the child more pitiful and cute, and she couldn't help but bend her eyebrows.

Thinking that he might never see the kid next door again, Pei Xiang picked out a few juicy peaches, got up and went to the next door.

"Brother Lu, is Tandan making trouble again?"

"Well, there is no time to be honest when you play cats and dogs."

"Give this plate of peaches to Dandan, she should be thirsty after crying for a long time."

Before Lu Yu could answer, Lu Dandan poked out her small head from behind Lu Yu, her fat face was still stained with tears, and her round eyes looked longingly at the sweet and sour fruit in Pei Xiang's hand.

Lu Yu sighed, took the fruit from Pei Xiang's hand and handed it to Lu Dandan, and pushed him into the room regardless of whether the three-year-old could hold it.

In the blink of an eye, Lu Dandan was lifted up by an effortless inner strength, and then was sent into the room steadily.Once the door was closed, the child could not come out.

Pei Xiang was faintly startled, this skill was extremely clever, and it was definitely not at the same level as Lu Yu's usual strength.

"Miss Pei, please come in and discuss in detail."

Pei Xiang looked up at Lu Yu carefully, met his calm black eyes, and nodded slowly.

The two sat down on the stone bench in the yard, and the evening breeze was blowing, filled with the fragrance of flowers and coolness, and the sound of children chattering could be heard from time to time in the room.

Lu Yu spoke first: "Miss Pei, I saw the notice on the stone wall, are you going to see Yu Luocha?"

Pei Xiang blinked, wondering where this person came from.

Seeing that Pei Xiang didn't answer, Lu Yu raised his thick eyebrows and said directly:

"Miss Pei, I do know your identity. It's not accidental that I live next door to you. I brought my apprentice to move here after seeing that you rented the yard next door."

Pei Xiang smiled slightly: "What is my identity? Please tell Master Lu clearly."

Lu Yu observed Pei Xiang for many days and knew that she was always cautious. If he talked to her in a roundabout way, the two of them could test each other until dawn.

Therefore, Lu Yu explained: "I have been following Mrs. Feng before, and I guessed that you are Gu Shuangqing. Today, I saw the code word taught by Luocha, so I realized that your real name is Pei Xiang."

This passage gave Pei Xiang a message, that is, if what Lu Yu said was true, it meant that his martial arts skills were so high that she never discovered his existence.

Pei Xiang raised his hand and touched the bun, as if he was arranging his hair.

She pulled out a silver hairpin, and with a sudden twist of her wrist, she stabbed straight at Lu Yu's heart.This blow was fast and ruthless, with a light and sharp sword intent, and it was as unpredictable as lightning.This ultimate move carried Pei Xiang's seven points of strength.

However, as soon as the silver hairpin touched Lu Yu's front, he could no longer move forward.

Two fingers clamped the silver hairpin, lightly, firmly, firmly.

Pei Xiang raised his eyebrows: "Your Excellency is very skilled, I believe it."

Lu Yu shook his head, loosened his fingers, and asked Pei Xiang to take the silver hairpin back.

"Miss Pei, aren't you afraid of provoking me?"

"If your martial arts are not as good as mine, it's okay to irritate you; if your martial arts are stronger than mine, my strength is no threat to you. Besides, if you want to hurt me, you can do it long ago. Why bother?" Wait until now."

"Ms. Pei is overconfident. Sometimes it's not a good thing to be too adventurous."

Pei Xiang smiled sweetly and remained silent.

Lu Yu pulled down the flagon from his waist and took a sip of the wine.

"Miss Pei, I owed someone a favor in the early years, and this time I am here to protect Mrs. Feng, in fact, to repay that debt."

Pei Xiang was taken aback for a moment, and a sudden realization came to her heart. She finally caught what she thought was inconsistent before.

"Master Lu, what do you mean, someone already knew in advance that Shaying Pavilion's killer was going to kill Mrs. Feng, so they asked you to protect her?"

Lu Yu nodded slightly and said, "Since Mrs. Feng left Wanmei Villa, I have been secretly protecting her."

Pei Xiang immediately reacted: "So, when I was at the seaside, even if I didn't make a move, Mrs. Feng would be fine."

"Yes, I'm ready to make a move."

"Then those guards at Wanmei Villa?"

Lu Yu's eyes were calm, but with a unique coldness: "The safety of those people is not within the scope of the debt of favor I repay."

Pei Xiang paused, and his understanding of Lu Yu deepened.

At the same time, she was also thinking about why such Lu Yu suddenly found her.

——Based on the meaning of his words, it should be that he has already paid back the favor, but he started to follow me and observe me again.

"Master Lu..."

As soon as Lu Yu raised his hand, he interrupted Pei Xiang: "It's better to call me by my name or Brother Lu directly."

Pei Xiang didn't pretend to be polite, and said crisply: "Lu Yu, after I rescued Mrs. Feng at the beach, I put her in the medical clinic and left after that. Have you been guarding Mrs. Feng?"

Lu Yu smiled slightly, knowing what Pei Xiang wanted to ask, he said:

"I did stay by Madam Feng's side all the time. I didn't leave with Mrs. Pei, nor did I see what Mrs. Pei did after she left the hospital. But I do know one thing, that is, all the guards around Feng Yiwei have died. Absolutely no one survived."

Pei Xiang understood: "From then on, you knew that I was pretending to be a disguised person. Later, Yu Luocha came over, and his inquiry..."

Speaking of this, Pei Xiang suddenly paused, she couldn't help but blush when she thought of her little trick to force Yu Luocha away.

Lu Yu blushed when he saw Pei Xiang mentioning Yu Luocha, he only thought her daughter was thinking about it, and didn't think too much about it, then continued with Pei Xiang's words:

"Master Jade came in person. I saw that he had no killing intent, so I avoided it. I didn't want him to find me at that time."

Pei Xiang breathed a sigh of relief.Since Lu Yu avoided it at that time, it means that he missed something.Well, that's fine.

"Miss Pei, I didn't know the real identity of 'Yan Huwei' at the beginning. But Master Yu's actions on the island are not small, and I soon found out the exact news from Ye's children, knowing that his wife Gu Shuangqing was missing It seems to be dead. But I know that's not true, because the real Gu Shuangqing is following Mrs. Feng alive and kicking."

Pei Xiang raised his eyebrows with doubts in his eyes.

"You guessed my identity, you want to follow me?"

Lu Yu suddenly smiled, his eyes sparkling:

"From then on, I found things interesting. I thought it was a boring escort, but unexpectedly, I found a powerful woman who faked her death and escaped from Jade Rakshasa."

Having said that, Lu Yu cheerfully took another sip of wine, with a hint of sarcasm in his smile:

"What's more interesting is that this woman not only has good swordsmanship and excellent disguise skills, but she is also pregnant with Yu Luocha's child, which is one surprise after another. So, even if Mrs. Feng returns to Wanmei Villa safely, we will I didn't leave in a hurry, I just wanted to see if I could wait for the follow-up story between you and Yu Luocha."

Pei Xiang snorted softly, with a slight sarcasm in his tone:

"Since you want to see the continuation of the story, why did you expose your identity so early and remain a silent spectator, isn't it good?"

"It's not good," Lu Yu said sincerely with regret in his eyes, "I didn't expect that I would find that little egg outside Yongling City, and I decided to accept him as an apprentice. Alas, he is so young. Well, if I took him with me, I would definitely not be able to watch the excitement as freely as before, so I simply identified myself with you."

Pei Xiang was taken aback: "Isn't Eggy your biological son?"

"It's the apprentice I picked up."

"Then his martial arts qualifications must be very good."

"Yes, there is no one in a million, and the city is beautiful."

Thinking of Lu Yu's action of clamping her silver hairpin, Pei Xiang suddenly asked, "Have you named Dandan yet?"

"When I picked him up, he was sitting under a sycamore tree and giggling. I thought, why not just call him Lu Xiaofeng or Lu Xiaohuang or something."

"Lu Xiaofeng?"

"Yes. Of course, if that kid doesn't like this name when he grows up, he can choose a new name for himself. Even if it's called Lu Dandan, as a master, I won't stop my apprentice."

Pei Xiang smiled: "I think he would rather be called Lu bastard than Lu Dandan."

Lu Yu took a sip of his wine with a smile, and suddenly leaned in front of Pei Xiang, scrutinizing her face seriously, and after a while, he stepped back in amazement.

"I followed you all the way. Apart from watching you and Yu Luocha, I just wanted to know your real appearance. Hey, your disguise technique is really powerful. If I hadn't confirmed that Yan Weiwei was dead from the beginning If you do, you will definitely be tricked.”

Lu Yu looked left and right at Pei Xiang's face, and still couldn't find any flaws, so he couldn't help admiring:

"No wonder you can fool Yu Luocha around, it's perfect. I have an old friend who is also good at disguise, but sometimes I can find some clues, but your disguise makes me unable to find a flaw ,awesome."

Pei Xiang thought, since Lu Xiaofeng had already appeared, wouldn't Lu Yu's old friend be Sikong Zhaixing's master?

"Tsk tsk, I must tell that smug old guy that his proud disguise method has met his opponent, hehe."

Pei Xiang was a little puzzled: "Since you have been following me, you should have seen it when I changed my appearance. Why haven't you seen my real appearance?"

Lu Yu rolled his eyes: "How could I deliberately peep at a woman changing clothes? When you were trying to disguise in the room, I definitely didn't peek."

"Hero Lu is indeed a gentleman," Pei Xiang flattered and praised Lu Yu, "He's so particular about following people, he didn't abuse his martial arts, admiration!"

Lu Yu didn't care about Pei Xiang's ridicule, but showed a humble and hearty smile.

As the night darkened, Pei Xiang put the silver hairpin back on her temples. She glanced at the house behind Lu Yu and frowned slightly:

"Eggy's breathing is very steady, is he asleep?"

"should be."

"Aren't you going to see where he sleeps? Is the quilt covered?"

"He is already a big child of three and a half years old."

Even so, Lu Yu quickly went back to the house.

Pei Xiang sighed, she thought that before she came to deliver fruit to Eggy, she wondered if she would never see this child again, but now something unexpected happened.

"Lu Yu, you chose to confess some facts to me tonight, do you have any plans?"

"Miss Pei, I just mentioned to you that I have an old friend who is good at disguise and is very competitive."

Pei Xiang nodded.

Lu Yu smiled slightly: "I'll help you evade Yu Luocha's search, you go and compete with that old guy for me, and let him know what it means to have someone beyond someone else."

Pei Xiang did not immediately agree to Lu Yu's conditions, but instead asked cautiously:

"Just because of this reason, you are willing to be an enemy of Yu Luocha?"

Lu Yu laughed and shook his head: "Miss Pei is really vigilant. However, you are indeed suspicious this time, and I am really willing to fight Yu Luocha for this reason. Alas, life lies in' Interesting', otherwise, life is like wine mixed with water, tasteless and tight."

Pei Xiang squinted at this person, and suddenly asked: "Is there any bet between you and your old friend? If you lose the bet, will you be asked to do something very embarrassing or troublesome?"

Lu Yu stopped drinking, he smashed his mouth, shook his head and sighed:

"Miss Pei, sometimes women are too smart to be cute. How did you get together with the unpredictable Jade Raksha with such a tricky and weird personality? By the way, I almost forgot, you two One is Mei Xuean and the other is Gu Shuangqing, both of them are pretending."

Just as Pei Xiang was about to turn back, he saw Lu Yu get up abruptly. Suddenly, an unexpected and strange look appeared on his brows.

Before Pei Xiang could react, a familiar voice sounded outside the door:

"Lu Yu, I also want to know, what kind of bet makes you so fearless about death?"
