Taiping Inn

When they arrived outside the inn, the street had been blocked by the personal guards of the Governor's Mansion, so there were no pedestrians passing by, only an eight-lift sedan chair. The sedan bearer pushed the sedan chair, and Xu Zaiyuan sat in it, surrounded by the personal guards and entourage, and left the place.

Li Xuandu watched Xu Zaiyuan's sedan chair disappear at the end of the street before turning back to the inn. When they arrived at the flower hall, Qin Su was sitting in the position where Li Xuandu had just been. Seeing Li Xuandu come in, she did not stand up and asked with a smile: "This great governor came to visit in person, is he trying to win you over?"

Li Xuandu pulled a chair over and sat opposite Qin Su, jokingly saying: "I'm just 'Mr. Li', and you're 'Miss Qin', the difference is obvious, she is not here to win me over, but to please you."

Qin Su did not take it seriously and asked: "Why do you think so?"

Li Xuandu pointed to the exquisite box on the table. The pattern on the surface of the box formed a landscape scroll, and this box alone was very expensive.

Qin Su had seen the box a long time ago, but her family had not allowed her to look through it rashly since she was a child. Seeing Li Xuandu's gesture, she opened the box.

The moment she opened the box, Qin Su couldn't help but let out a soft "Huh". She was born in the Qin family of Liaodong and was called Miss Qin by people in the world. She was naturally knowledgeable and could see the preciousness of these two emerald mandarin ducks without Li Xuandu's introduction.

Qin Su asked: "Is this a gift from Governor Xu?"

Li Xuandu shook his head.

Qin Su was stunned: "This is strange. If it's not for you, could it be for me?"

Li Xuandu said: "It's for both of us, so I said that they came to please you."

Qin Su closed the box and put it aside without any nostalgia, saying: "It's really inexplicable to give such a valuable gift to both of us for no reason." Qin Su blushed halfway through her words, realizing that Xu Zaiyuan was giving them a gift to celebrate their engagement and marriage. She was still not used to it. Last autumn, she was still devoted to the wandering white silk among the mountains and rivers, and had never thought about getting married. But a year later, she was only one step away from getting engaged.

Li Xuandu accidentally glanced at Qin Su's wrist, but saw that she was still wearing the pair of bracelets he gave her. When she bought them, she paid 39 Taiping coins, which was much less than the pair of purple jade mandarin ducks worth 10,000 Taiping coins.

Li Xuandu felt a little ashamed and said, "Speaking of gifts, I am still far behind this Xu Bu Tang. I will give you a pair of better bracelets another day."

Qin Su shook her head and said, "No."

Li Xuandu asked curiously, "Are you afraid that I don't have money?"

Qin Su said softly, "With your ability, if you seek money, you can get even 100,000 Taiping coins, not to mention 100,000 Taiping coins. But this pair of bracelets is different. It is the first gift you gave me. It is not about the price, but the thought. I remember that you had less than 100 Taiping coins left at that time. You spent half of your wealth to buy me this pair of bracelets. And to be honest... this is a token of our love."

Qin Su Su blushed slightly, and then said: "There is no price for things in this world, nor is there a distinction between noble and humble. The so-called value is imposed by the world. Since the price is set by people, I think this pair of bracelets is priceless. It is a priceless treasure to me, and I will not change it for any money."

Li Xuandu originally wanted to give the purple jade mandarin ducks to Qin Su, but after hearing what Qin Su said, he felt a little embarrassed to speak, and said: "Since Miss Qin doesn't like these external things, then I will give you something that will benefit you for life."

While speaking, Li Xuandu took out a booklet he had just sorted out from the "Eighteenth Floor" and handed it to Qin Su.

Qin Su reached out to take it and asked curiously: "What is this, the "Legend of Taiping Inn" you wrote?"

Li Xuandu smiled but said nothing.

Qin Su flipped through a few pages, his face changed slightly: "This is... 'Taiping Qingling Sutra'?"

Li Xuan nodded and said: "'Taiping Qingling Sutra' is indeed a method of the righteous way of Xuanmen, it is broad and profound. I have studied it for so long, but I have only just begun to glimpse the way. I have compiled my experience into two booklets, one for Shi Wuyue to treat his madness, and one for you to help you reach the peak of the heavenly realm as soon as possible."

Qin Su felt sweet in his heart: "The most valuable thing in the world is the various martial arts, which is the foundation for people in the world to make a living in the world. How many people have lost their families and even their lives in order to fight for a martial arts secret book. Brother Xuan never cares about these. If he learns any new martial arts, the first person he thinks of is me. The master still has to keep a hand when teaching his disciples, but he is afraid that I can't learn it all. It can be seen that he... It can be seen that he thinks of me very much. Now think about it, I am also very lucky. If it were my father, he would definitely make it his lifelong goal to reach the top of martial arts and be the best in the world. Even though he is a geomancer and a Taoist partner with Madam Leng, he has never passed on his skills to Madam Leng. "

Li Xuandu also instructed: "You must practice well. If you don't understand something, ask me. Don't be lazy."

Qin Su pouted: "Where am I lazy? I have worked very hard. Do you think everyone is like you?"

Li Xuandu stretched out his hand and pinched her cheek: "I am not lazy, but I can't say I have worked hard. To be fair, we both have our own strengths and talents, but why is there such a big gap now? You have to think about it carefully."

Qin Su stretched out her hand and slapped Li Xuandu's hands, saying angrily: "What do you mean you and I are almost the same? Looking at our peers, who can compare with you? Isn't it you who should think about it carefully?"

Li Xuandu pretended to think for a while and said, "What you said makes sense, so I thought about it and there is only one reason."

Qin Su asked curiously, "What's the reason?"

Li Xuandu said seriously, "As the saying goes, solitary yin cannot grow, solitary yang cannot be born, and the balance of yin and yang is the way of heaven and earth. When I went to Tianle Sect last year, I helped Bai Mei Niang and Chounu'er drive away Lu Yanbing, the evil-minded girl, and killed Zui Chunfeng, who was doing evil things, and helped them take back Tianle Sect. In order to express their gratitude, they specially gave me two gifts, one was the 'cold beauty', and the other was The other is the Shingon sect's 'Great Joy Zen'. If you and I practice this method together, it will surely help you reach a great height in a day..." Before Li Xuandu finished speaking, Qin Su was extremely embarrassed, his face was as red as the sunset clouds, and he spat: "Dengtuzi, Dengtuzi, what nonsense are you talking about!" Li Xuandu laughed and said: "This is not nonsense at all. This method of practicing both yin and yang has existed since ancient times. Our Taoism is also known as the Huang-Lao Dao. The ancestor Huangdi ascended to heaven after having sex with three thousand women, and thus passed down the art of sex." Qin Su punched him lightly in shame and anger: "You still want to have sex with three thousand women? Bad thing, so frivolous."

Li Xuandu stretched out his hand and held Qin Su's fist: "No, no, I am the opposite of the old ancestor. He has three thousand concubines, but I have three thousand weak waters and only drink from one."

Qin Su was delighted to hear this, but her face was still red, and she whispered: "Bad thing, you only know how to bully me."

Li Xuandu smiled and said: "How dare I bully you."

Qin Su snorted: "Do you treat other women like this?"

Li Xuandu said seriously: "Of course I treat you with courtesy, and I dare not go beyond the point."

After the two joked for a few more sentences, Li Xuandu put away the box containing the purple jade mandarin duck, and took out a much smaller box from his "Eighteenth Floor" and handed it to Qin Su: "We are going to Liaodong this time, and we have to deal with Liaodong Governor Zhao Zheng. It happens that you are a good match with the daughter of Zhao Butang, so give this thing to her." Qin Su knew in her heart that with Li Xuandu's status, it would be better to say that it was given to Zhao Zheng rather than Zhao Yu, and asked curiously: "What is in this box?" Li Xuandu smiled slightly and kept it a secret: "You might as well guess what it is."
