The rivers and lakes are full of vests

The convoy returned the same way and returned to Chaoquan Peak in Jinyun Mountain in late February. Fu Peibai led Ding Yi to introduce him to the people in the back mountain. Within two days, Ding Yi's outgoing and lively personality became familiar to everyone.

Fu Peibai also returned to the days before he went down the mountain, working during the day, practicing martial arts in the morning and evening, life seemed to be the same as usual, but there was something different after all, even a carefree person like Meng Yan could see it.

The two of them were practicing martial arts in the cave as usual that day, Fu Peibai paused when he swung his sword, his expression showed a moment of bewilderment, as if he had thought of something, and the next moment Meng Yan knocked him on the forehead.

"Why do you feel like you lost your soul after you came back? You didn't tell me when I asked you, and you were depressed all day long, and it made you upset just looking at it."

"Sorry...Brother Meng", Fu Peibai said dejectedly.

Meng Yan took out a book from his arms and threw it on her, "You didn't slack off when you went down the mountain. You have improved a lot in your body, and now you can start practicing your inner strength. You take this book and figure it out yourself. External skills can't be taught by words and deeds, so it's easy to experience it yourself."

There are three big characters "Shuiyunpu" on the page of the yellow book. Fu Peibai opened it to take a look, and the whole article was densely packed with small characters.

"Brother Meng, is this Yin Yin internal strength?"

"Well, originally, most men practice Yang Qigong, but I heard Ah Ruo said that you have strong Yin Qi in your body. I thought you might be more suitable for practicing Yin Qi, so I found this book for you."

Fu Peibai frowned and pondered for a moment: "Brother Meng, I want to practice Yang Gong."

Meng Yan looked puzzled, "Why? Your body is not suitable for practicing positive exercises. Forcing it may be counterproductive."

"I want to learn."

This matter is not a trivial matter, Meng Yan said seriously: "Xiaobai, you must give me a reasonable reason, otherwise I will not agree to you."

Fu Peibai was silent for a long time before he spoke: "I can't tell you now, but I must learn the positive exercises, please, Brother Meng."

Meng Yan was also silent. He knew Fu Peibai's stubborn nature, and it was difficult to change his mind. After a while, he said helplessly: "Okay, in a few days, I will find a suitable Yang internal energy for you, but You have to promise me that once your body starts to repel you and feel any discomfort, you will stop immediately, can you do it?"

Fu Peibai nodded.

After the two talked, they left the cave and met Lu Qingwan after walking a few steps.

Meng Yan was well aware of the entanglement between the two, so he found a reason and slipped away.

Fu Peibai said hello feebly, "I've seen Second Miss."

Lu Qingwan looked at her sadly, "You've been back for so many days, why didn't you come to me?"

"The affairs in the peak are complicated, and I can't get away. Besides, the little one has nothing to disturb the second lady."

Lu Qingwan bit her lower lip, feeling very aggrieved. She was the dignified second lady of Tianjizong, and tried to show her kindness to a servant over and over again, but the other party didn't appreciate it at all, which made her feel so embarrassed.

"Why do not you like me?"

Although everyone on the mountain knew that Lu Qingwan had intentions for Fu Peibai, and even Fu Peibai himself knew it, but this was the first time that Lu Qingwan expressed his intentions so straightforwardly.

Fu Peibai was stunned, not knowing how to answer for a while.

Like it or not, what is the reason?

She thought about it for a while, and felt that it would be better to cut through the mess quickly, so she said bluntly: "The little one already has a lover, so the second lady should stop being attached to the little one. I'm just an ordinary person, I don't have much, and I'm not worth two." Miss likes it."

Tears welled up in Lu Qingwan's eyes, feeling embarrassed and unwilling, "What kind of woman do you like?"

Fu Peibai's eyes softened, and even his tone of voice softened a lot, "She...is the most beautiful woman I've ever seen in this world, with a cold face and a warm heart, although she doesn't like to show herself, she always makes things silently. Some kind deeds, she..." Before Fu Peibai could finish speaking, Lu Qingwan yelled to stop.

"enough!"

Two lines of tears fell on Lu Qingwan's face. She turned her head and said loudly: "I will not bless you, and I will not give up. The things that I Lu Qingwan want, including people, can only be mine!" After that, she put up her skirt and ran away.

Fu Peibai stood where he was, with a stiff expression, like a lightning strike.

If time could be turned back, and she wanted to go back to the day when she picked the medicine, she would definitely not go to the deep ditch to rescue Lu Qingwan, but to find a helper.

She sighed and walked towards the back hill.

On Lu Qingwan's side, she ran into the small bamboo forest, crying all the way, and threw herself into Lu Yanran's arms.

"Sister, sister..."

Lu Yanran patted her on the back and asked, "What's wrong, Wan'er?"

"Fu, Fu... Peibai", Lu Qingwan cried so hard that she couldn't speak a complete sentence for a long time.

Lu Yanran frowned, "What happened to him?"

"He doesn't like me, why doesn't he like me?"

Afu stood silently by the side, thinking that everyone in the peak knew that Xiaobai didn't like you, and you just found out now that you are cooperating with the second lady.

Lu Yanran didn't know how to comfort her, so he could only silently stroke her back.

Lu Qingwan had cried enough, she raised her head, sobbing slightly, "He said he has a girl he likes."

Before Lu Yanran could speak, Afu said in surprise, "Ah? Who is it?"

"I don't know, but he praised that man like a fairy. It doesn't matter whether it's this or that. How can there be such a perfect person in the world?"

Lu Yanran's eyes flickered, and he asked softly, "What did he say?"

Speaking of this, Lu Qingwan became angry and said angrily: "Just say that she is the most beautiful woman he has ever seen. She is beautiful and kind-hearted, and treats him well. I can't find any faults. Sister, tell me, he is Didn’t make it up to reject me, he’s been on the mountain all day, why haven’t I seen such a person, or did he meet him in the past few months when he went down the mountain?”

Lu Yanran narrowed her eyes slightly, and said in a flat voice, "Whether it's a fiction or a real person, if he has no intentions, then you should stop being obsessed with him, and father will never allow you to be together."

Lu Qingwan can get whatever she wants since she was a child, and the person she likes is no exception. She raised her chin and said firmly: "I want him, anyway, one day I will make him like me. Daddy also said that as long as It’s someone I really like, no matter what his background is, as long as he treats me well, he will support me.”

"Sister, nurse and Uncle Qu don't support me, are you on my side?"

Lu Yanran hesitated for a moment, then nodded.

Lu Qingwan seemed to have a strong backing, and she smiled again, "Then sister, you have to help me, he is from your peak, and he will definitely listen to you."

"it is good."

Afterwards, Lu Qingwan began to go in and out of Chaoquan Peak frequently, and she would follow Fu Peibai wherever she was.

And Ding Yi, who knew Fu Peibai's real identity, was about to be overjoyed by this, but he could only be alone.

Fu Peibai took advantage of her lunch break to read the Inner Strength and Mind Method in her room as usual this day. Much of the content in this book was obscure and difficult to understand.

As soon as her eyes scanned two rows of words, someone knocked on the door. She put down the book and opened the door, and found that standing outside the door was one of Zhulin Xiaozhu's guards. , and hurriedly asked: "Is the peak master looking for me?"

The guard nodded, "The peak master asked you to have a small talk in the bamboo forest in the back mountain at sunset."

Fu Peibai was overjoyed and said hello again and again. She hadn't seen Lu Yanran for more than ten days since Fanshan, so she naturally missed him very much.

After hearing the happy news, she couldn't calm down to read the book, so she simply finished the afternoon work in one go, changed into clean clothes and waited for the appointed time.

As the sun set to the west, she began to get nervous and paced back and forth in the room until dusk fell. She tidied up her appearance in front of the bronze mirror, and after making sure that she was clean and tidy, she went out and went straight to the back mangosteen forest.

She trot along the forest path, making a crunching sound when she stepped on dead branches.

It wasn't until a figure in white clothes appeared in the forest in the distance that she stopped suddenly, her heartbeat quickened, and she ran forward.

"Feng...", she just yelled out a word, the woman turned around and smiled back at her, her delicate and lovely face was not the one she had been dreaming about.

Her excited expression faded, she stared at Lu Qingwan in front of her in confusion and said, "Second Miss, why is it you?"

Lu Qingwan specially dressed up today, wearing a simple yet delicate white dress, with powder on her face and pearl hairpins on her head, and she called affectionately: "A Pei."

Fu Peibai took two steps back, the hairs on the back of her hands stood on end, she swallowed and said, "Second Miss, you should call me by my full name."

"I don't want it, I want to call you Apei, if others call you, how can I not call you?"

Fu Peibai avoided her eyes and asked, "Didn't the peak master invite me here? Why is it you, Second Miss?"

"Hmph, it's not because you can't come out when I'm looking for you, so I can only ask my elder sister to ask you out. You have to listen to what she says."

Fu Peibai frowned, his face was a little ugly, "Peak Master... help me ask me out?"

"Yeah, who told you not to agree to me, next time I will let my father call you, and see if you still dare to hide from me."

As soon as Lu Qingwan finished speaking, Fu Peibai turned around and ran away, stomping her feet in anger, and shouted loudly as she watched the figure gradually running away: "Fu Peibai! Stop!"

Fu Peibai turned a deaf ear to it, she now had an unknown fire burning in her heart, driving her to the Zhulin Xiaozhu, but the guards still wouldn't let her in, so she stood outside the courtyard and shouted: "Peak Master! I have something to ask you."

Soon there was a sound from inside.

"Let him in."

Fu Peibai pushed aside the hands blocking him, rushed into the small courtyard and pushed open the door. He saw Lu Yanran getting up from the bed, obviously just taking a nap at noon.

The irritability in her heart faded a little, and she stared at the vague and slender figure fixedly through a thin layer of bed curtains.

"Peak Master, why did you ask me out for Second Miss?"

Lu Yanran sat on the bed, her voice was flat, "Wan'er is my younger sister, she begged me to do such a small thing, why should I not agree?"

Fu Peibai felt soreness in her heart, she frowned and said, "I don't like her."

"Emotions can be cultivated, and it is common for people to fall in love after getting along for a long time."

Fu Peibai's eyes widened and his voice was raised, "No! No, I will never like her!"

Lu Yanran didn't say anything more, and the room fell into a brief silence. After a while, she said: "You are only seventeen years old, and the temperament of young people is the most unstable. If you don't like it today, you may like it tomorrow."

Fu Peibai gritted his teeth and clenched his fists, his voice was not loud but resolute, "No, definitely not."

Lu Yanran stopped talking again, and the room was filled with a quiet and depressed atmosphere.

"Does the peak master want me to be with the second lady?" In just one sentence, Fu Peibai asked very difficultly.

"It doesn't matter whether I hope or not about the two of you. Wan'er is devoted to you. I naturally hope that she will have a lover and get married. But if you have no affection for her, it's inconvenient to force her."

Lu Yanran spoke in a nonchalant tone. Fu Peibai closed his eyes and shouted in his heart, "Say it, say it, I like you, tell her, right now!"

However, no matter how much affection in her heart overflowed, she couldn't express it to her mouth. She could only take a deep breath, suppress the rising impulse, and calmly said: "In that case, then I beg Feng Lord, don't make a match for the second lady and me again, I will explain to the second lady again."

"Let's take my leave." After saying that, she made a standard farewell ceremony and left the room.

Returning to the silent room, a faint sigh sounded after a long time.
