After Mu Yunjin pondered for a while, she glanced at Daoist Feng Xuan, and then at Chu Li.
Although, in her heart, she was a hundred times unwilling to worship this Feng Xuan Daoist as her shifu, his words just now revealed threats and information.
Furthermore, she had successfully effected the Black Lotus’ transformation. It was clear that there was still hope of rescuing Rong Fei. Chu Li was looking forward to this development, if she refused, it would be rather cruel.
After weighing things, Mu Yunjin bit her lip and stared at Daoist Feng Xuan, "How to formally become an apprentice to shifu?"
Chu Li looked at Mu Yunjin in surprise. He pursed his lips, his countenance profound, something inside his heart seemed to melt……
After hearing Mu Yunjin's words, Daoist Feng Xuan laughed wildly and felt relieved.
The little girl who had been bossy and domineeringly whipped him earlier was going to hail him as a shifu. It's satisfying, really satisfying…..
"I’m telling you; you'd better make sure that you can really teach me how to break that formation and that it will really break after you have taught me the skills or I'll stab you!" Mu Yunjin stared at the old man who was laughing wildly, and there was a warning in her eyes.
Daoist Feng Xuan stopped laughing, raising his eyebrows, he straightened his waist and sat upright.
"Come on, give three kowtows, to venerate the shifu!"
Three kowtows...
Mu Yunjin’s face turned a little stiff. She had been a little unwilling to recognize this old man as her shifu. This old man still wanted to have her kneel and knock her head three times. He was challenging her bottom line.
Mu Yunjin felt somewhat awkward as her line of sight went towards Chu Li.
After Chu Li saw her pitiful expression, he was somewhat distressed. In fact, the matter about his mufei had nothing to do with Mu Yunjin. Having known her all this while, how could he not know how proud and arrogant a person she was ‽
"Let's go." Chu Li looked down and told Mu Yunjin.
Mu Yunjin was dazed. She kind of doubted that she had heard it wrong. After confirming that she’d heard correctly, she bit her lip and said, "Are you sure?"
"En." Chu Li nodded his head and his eyes were firm.
Mu Yunjin sighed slightly and suddenly felt that she was unreasonably affected. If the husband can submit or can stand tall as required, naturally, this woman also can!
Right now, before her, there was a way to live. Why would she give it up and leave?
Therefore, she turned around and knelt towards Daoist Feng Xuan and knocked her head heavily in succession.
"Shifu, please accept disciple’s obeisance..."
Chu Li was shocked by Mu Yunjin’s sudden action. His dark pupils were filled with complexity and surprise. His hands gradually clenched into fists. His eyes were deep, his face grave and cold, but his heart was full of warmth that he did not even notice.
Knowing such a woman, is it called luck?
After three consecutive knocks, Mu Yunjin stood up without waiting for Daoist Feng Xuan.
"Is that all right?"
"Barely good enough. Tomorrow, you will follow your shifu and learn the method of how to break the formation." Feng Xuan replied.
"How long will it take?" Mu Yunjin frowned.
Daoist Feng Xuan raised his eyebrows, "Look at your own power of understanding; if your comprehension is high, half a month, if your comprehension is poor, half a year is not enough!"
“……”
Mu Yunjin was left speechless and was too lazy to stay in the thatched hut. She threw a sentence, "I'll come to you this time tomorrow!"
……
After leaving the hut, Mu Yunjin jumped into the carriage, Chu Li followed her in and looked at Mu Yunjin, his eyes had an unfathomable meaning.
"That Daoist Feng Xuan, is he very strong?" Mu Yunjin sorted her dusty clothes and asked.
"He is Daoist Qiu Ye's shixiong. Together with Kong Shi and Qiu Ye they are equally famous in the whole world as the three great experts." Chu Li explained.
Mu Yunjin twitched her mouth, the world's three great experts....
So, did she really give in just now?
But no matter how one thinks, that old man doesn’t seem like a master of martial arts, otherwise how could he fall into this trap?
"It seems that I've made a profit. It's good to follow the old man and learn something." Mu Yunjin comforted herself and felt well.
Seeing her so optimistic, Chu Li couldn't help reaching out and caressing the back of her head. His movements were particularly gentle as he said, "I've wronged you."
Ha?
Mu Yunjin's pupils slightly enlarged; the gentle touch on the back of her head made her earlobe flush. In the past, Chu Li only spoke about work matters and did things coldly. Apparently, this was the first time she’d heard him talk gently.
Chu Li's words and actions made Mu Yunjin feel embarrassed. She looked down; her cheeks were scalding hot.
"It's all right. I want to help you."
Seeing Mu Yunjin's awkward appearance, Chu Li smiled, like clouds of smoke.
"Your Highness, where should we go first?" Outside the carriage, Ding Xian's voice resounded.
"Lu Yin."
"Yes, Your Highness."
After a while, the carriage stopped.
"We're here." Chu Li pushed the carriage's curtains aside to look outside.
Mu Yunjin nodded and steadily stepped out of the horse carriage. They stopped at the entrance of a restaurant called "Lu Yin", she looked around and felt that she was in the Shen Yao City center. There were comings and goings on the streets, revealing the liveliness of the place.
As she gazed around, Mu Yunjin glanced at the side and saw a sign written in big words-- "Flower Moon House".
At this time, at the entrance gate of the Flower Moon House, there were orioles and swallows gathered together to attract visitors. This place was headed by the person whom Chu Qingqiang had called Li Niang.
Mu Yunjin's eyes shone, she inwardly exclaimed that this trip to Shen Yao City was really worth it!
"What's wrong?" Chu Li saw Mu Yunjin standing motionless, he followed her line of sight and frowned slightly before pulling her arm and taking her into Lu Yin Restaurant.
By the time Mu Yunjin recovered her wits, she had already entered the Lu Yin Restaurant.
"Gongzi!" The waiter at the entrance of the restaurant saw Chu Li and immediately greeted him and said, “Qu City Lord has been waiting for a long time on the second floor."
"En." Chu Li nodded indifferently and walked upstairs with Mu Yunjin.
As Mu Yunjin walked, she tugged Chu Li's arm, "Qu City Lord is Qu Xinyao?"
Chu Li looked down at the hand that was pulling his arm. He felt no aversion at all. He let Mu Yunjin pull him as he nodded in reply.
In the private room on the second floor.
Mu Yunjin was walking right behind Chu Li, when she saw a woman in red sitting inside drinking tea, her hair tied high up, with a red jade buyao1on it; a beautiful and charming face, she exuded magnificence and grace.
I kind of imagine her like this when wearing a red buyao...
Is she Qu Xinyao?
"I only heard that Liu Huangzi was coming, but I didn't know that you'll take along a beautiful girl as a confidant." Qu Xinyao lowered her gaze and smiled, then looked at Mu Yunjin behind Chu Li.
Chu Li looked at Qu Xinyao faintly and approached a few steps. He took out a brocade box from his sleeve and put it in front of her.
"He gave this to you."
Qu Xinyao glanced at the brocade box. Her face, which was full of smiles, gradually turned dark. She looked at the brocade box and remained motionless for a long time.
Mu Yunjin sat down at the side; she had been busy all morning. She was hungry and thirsty. Since she was unable to greet Qu Xinyao, she poured herself a glass of water.
In the process of drinking a cup of water, Mu Yunjin carefully looked at Qu Xinyao, this woman, her body permeated a trace of... Sinister aura.
Afterwards, Qu Xinyao slowly stretched out her hand. 'click'. She opened the brocade box, and after glimpsing the contents, her expression dimmed.
Mu Yunjin also glanced at the brocade box. Inside the brocade box was an exquisite Plum Blossom White Jade hairpin, simple yet elegant, fresh and clean.
Probably like this but instead of wood,Qu Xinyao took off the red jade buyao on her hair bun and replaced it with this plum blossom white jade hairpin. After wearing it, she turned her eyes to Mu Yunjin.
"Does it look good?"
Mu Yunjin was stunned. For a moment, she did not respond. Then after a while, she nodded slowly. "It's looks really good."
As her words dropped, she heard a sigh from Qu Xinyao, who seemed to laugh at herself.
"It's odd why he didn't send it to me personally..."
The private room was quiet for a while.
A moment later, Qu Xinyao took off the plum blossom white jade hairpin, casually threw it into the brocade box and closed it. Then, she threw the brocade box directly out of the window.
Mu Yunjin was somewhat baffled by this move.
"Let both of you see a joke." Qu Xinyao slightly hooked her lips toward Chu Li and Mu Yunjin, her hands fiddling with the red jade buyao she had taken off earlier.
"He knows I like garish and beautiful colors, but he sent me such a plain hairpin. He really doesn't care about me..."
"You've been squabbling with him for so many years?" Chu Li faintly opened his mouth to talk.
Qu Xinyao smiled lightly, and her eyes flashed a slight sneer.
"Is it not that I want to squabble with him? He just wants to be angry with me...Xu Heyu is really a lump of wood*."
(*TL: She means that he is a blockhead. XD)
After that, Qu Xinyao got up and went out of the door of the room without even saying goodbye.
After Qu Xinyao left, Mu Yunjin inwardly sighed, she was really an unusual woman, but nevertheless still strange...
Soon, after the meal was served.
Mu Yunjin took a bite of pork cutlet. After a few mouthfuls, she remembered something.
"By the way, the old man said that he would teach me how to break the formation for at least half a month to more than half a year. Will I stay here for this period?"
"Stay for half a month." Chu Li replied curtly.
Mu Yunjin nodded. As she saw the Flower Moon house outside, Chu Qingqiang's face appeared in her mind.
The wu gongzhu, who is very tired of living, just wait and see, I will unearth the secret behind the Flower Moon house.
After dinner, Mu Yunjin and Chu Li left the Lu Yin Restaurant.
When she arrived at her guest room, Mu Yunjin who had just lied down immediately jumped up and slapped her head.
"I almost forgot. I bought a house here not long ago!"
Thinking of the houses that she had spent a lot of money on, Mu Yunjin was a little excited and happy. She put on her shoes and went downstairs immediately.
On the way down the stairs, she happened to meet Ding Xian.
"Huangzifei, where are you going?"
Mu Yunjin made a "shush" gesture, and whispered, "I'll just go out to have a stroll and come back in a moment, don't tell Chu Li."
Ding Xian nodded.
After Mu Yunjin ran downstairs, she thought about the orientation of the house and asked the waiter at the entrance.
"Excuse me, is there a house named Qingfu on the west side of the city?"
When the waiter heard the words, he thought about it before nodding, "Yes, Qingfu has been vacant for a long time. Recently, I heard that it was bought."
"How can I get there?"
"Turn right, when you go out, and you'll see it at the end..."
……….
1. A buyao (traditional Chinese: 步搖; simplified Chinese: 步摇; Wade–Giles: pu-yao) is a type of Chinese women's hair ornament. The jewelry dangles when the wearer walks, hence the name, which literally means "shake as you go". Here’s more info:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buyao.
