Dimension Paradise, I am a summoning apostle

Chapter 513 The Musician Comes to the Door

The next day, Jiang Buqi came to find Chu Danqing early in the morning.

He watched as Zhao's widow hurriedly left at dawn, and breathed a sigh of relief.

Then, remembering what Chu Danqing had said about having the opportunity he needed, he came to find him.

Chu Danqing had long since lost the habit of sleeping, so she already knew when the other party arrived.

"Dabao, go wake Qingying up, then we'll have breakfast and set off," Chu Danqing said.

Before long, Da Bao brought over a sleepy-eyed Li Qingying.

"So sleepy? Why don't you sleep a little longer?" Chu Danqing said, looking at Li Qingying's appearance.

After Li Qingying started following Chu Danqing, her life became less regular than before.

In the past, by this time, I would have already gone to pay my respects, and I wouldn't still be sleeping in bed.

"No need, it won't delay my meal." How could Li Qingying possibly miss her meal because of sleeping?

As he spoke, he simply nodded to Jiang Buqi as a greeting, and then sat down to start eating.

Jiang Buqi found this amusing.

It's not just these things, but that after unloading responsibilities and burdens, I find everything interesting.

"Eat up," Chu Danqing said, then picked up a steamed bun herself.

With him, the host, taking the lead, Jiang Buqi no longer held back.

Upon taking the first bite, Jiang Buqi's eyes lit up. No wonder Li Qingying, even when she was so sleepy, still sat down to eat.

While we were eating, the waiter knocked on the door: "Sir, someone is looking for you."

"Looking for me?" Chu Danqing was a little puzzled, then thought for a moment, could it be Elder Xu from the Fengyun Gang who came to his door?

Otherwise, he wouldn't remember who else he had offended.

"Let him in," Chu Danqing called out, and then the waiter led in a woman carrying a sanxian (a three-stringed plucked instrument).

"Who are you?" Chu Danqing didn't recognize the woman at all.

Jiang Buqi felt that the face looked somewhat familiar.

"I've come to see this Master Jiang," the woman said, pointing at Jiang Buqi.

"But I don't know the girl either." Jiang Buqi's memory was limited, and he couldn't recall her for a moment.

"Uncle Jiang, do you still remember the day three days ago when you drank all night at Hede Restaurant?" the woman said, indicating a time.

Upon hearing this, Chu Danqing's mind raced for a moment, but before he could speak, Li Qingying recited his lines first.

"Drunkenness leads to promiscuity!" Li Qingying's drowsiness vanished instantly because of the gossip, and she became wide awake.

"Young lady, you're joking. Mr. Jiang is an upright man, and our relationship is completely innocent. There's nothing like that between us," the woman explained.

“I am truly innocent, but I remember that I was drinking alone that day and didn’t ask anyone to sing,” Jiang Buqi said. “I don’t have the habit of listening to music either.”

Jiang Buqi is a rough man in life and doesn't do these things at all.

Drinking and eating meat is fine; there are no extra charges.

“Master Jiang did not ask anyone to sing.” The woman confirmed Jiang Buqi’s guess and then said, “Does Master Jiang still remember that after drinking, he bought me for ten taels of silver on his way back?”

Upon hearing this, Jiang Buqi had absolutely no recollection of the incident.

However, it was true that ten taels of silver were missing; he thought he had lost them.

So, it was given to someone, and that person actually came looking for it.

Jiang Buqi felt embarrassed by Li Qingying's expression.

Even someone with thick eyebrows and big eyes like you has this quirk; it's truly a case of knowing someone's face but not their heart.

Jiang Buqi immediately explained, "Miss, you are joking. I was drunk at the time, and I thought it was because you sang so well that I gave you ten taels of silver as something to talk about."

"But I was selling myself to bury my father at the time, I wasn't playing music." The woman continued, "At that time, Master Jiang bought me for ten taels of silver, but left before we could sign a contract."

"I have no choice but to go back and give my father a simple burial. Now that everything is settled, I will come to find Master Jiang."

Chu Danqing immediately triggered the keyword: "You said you were burying your father, right?"

Some people were puzzled by Chu Danqing's sudden question; wasn't that quite clear enough?

"It's nothing, it's time to open the brocade pouch my friend gave me." Chu Danqing said, taking out a second brocade pouch.

Li Qingying also came over to take a look, and saw that the note read: Baojing Manor, the marriage ceremony will be held again the next day.

"Where is Baojing Manor?" Li Qingying asked curiously.

Chu Danqing recalled that it wasn't in his memories or intelligence reports.

This means that this place may not even be considered a powerful force.

The premise of intelligence is that it is valuable; otherwise, if you stuff everything into intelligence, it's not intelligence, it's a database.

"Brother Chu, are you planning to go to Baojing Manor?" Jiang Buqi quickly changed the subject and asked.

"I'm not entirely sure, my friend's a riddle person." Chu Danqing had no idea what that meant: "Brother Jiang, do you know where this place is?"

"I know, I stopped there to rest back then." Jiang Buqi said vaguely, then added, "It's a scenic place."

"It's not some martial arts sect, just a manor."

Hearing this, Chu Danqing nodded and said, "Then let's go, since you don't have anything else to do anyway."

"However, what will you do about her?" Chu Danqing asked, pointing at the woman. "Miss, I, Jiang, am now infamous and intend to retire from the martial world. I also have no possessions whatsoever," Jiang Buqi said. "Since we haven't made any pacts yet, let's just let this matter rest."

"It would be far better for you to find a good family to marry into than to live with Jiang."

He can't even take care of himself properly; bringing along a woman would only create more trouble for both of them.

“Master Jiang, you’re joking. I’m not interested in your reputation or wealth.” The woman didn’t agree with Jiang Buqi’s words at all.

Chu Danqing narrowed his eyes, feeling that Yang Qianyuan would definitely not let him go to Baojing Manor without a reason.

Furthermore, since it was this woman who triggered the keyword, it was only natural that he suspected that this woman might be related to the Five Decays in the trial mission.

"Take it with you, Brother Jiang. Even if you want to farm, you'll need someone to take care of things at home," Chu Danqing said. "Otherwise, with your rough and carefree personality, you'll not only live a chaotic life, but you'll also suffer losses."

"Not to mention that this young lady is beautiful. Now that she has lost her father and has no husband, who knows what kind of accidents might happen to her."

"Following you, at least there's still a way to survive."

With Chu Danqing speaking, the woman echoed his words.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Buqi didn't know what to say and could only agree.

After Jiang Buqi agreed, Chu Danqing took the opportunity to glance at the mission progress.

Liberate from the five signs of decay (2/5).

The mission progress increased by 1, but he had no idea why.

It feels like skipping the storyline and then finding your way with a single click.

"Have you eaten? If not, let's eat together." Chu Danqing looked at the woman, then asked, "What's your surname?"

The woman introduced herself, saying her name was Liu He.

However, she didn't eat. Later, Jiang Buqi spoke up, and she ate a little while standing without sitting down.

She clearly positioned herself as Jiang Buqi's maid.

Chu Danqing didn't say anything. This was a matter between the two of them and had nothing to do with Chu Danqing.

After they had eaten and drunk their fill, Chu Danqing asked, "How far is Baojing Manor from Baihu Ridge? How long does it take to walk there?"

“With my speed, I can arrive in five days at most,” Jiang Buqi said, then added, “If we ride at full speed, it will take about ten days.”

"Riding the clouds, riding the clouds!" Li Qingying excitedly interjected.

Chu Danqing ignored her words and said, "If we ride at full speed, the three of us can manage, but Liu He probably can't handle it."

"When I was young, I sang to earn more money, so I developed the appearance of a musician. My physique is also comparable to that of an ordinary man, so it shouldn't be a problem," Liu He said, as the appearance of a musician appeared behind her.

This is considered the lowest level of martial arts, and as Liu He said, the effect is simply to make her play and sing more beautifully.

The technique was passed down in the family and belonged to a low-level martial art.

"Brother Chu, I want to ride the clouds, I don't want to ride a horse," Li Qingying continued to whine.

Chu Danqing was speechless: "No, I don't think Brother Jiang's true energy can withstand your braking while also protecting Liu He."

"What is riding the clouds? Does it really mean driving the clouds?" Jiang Buqi asked curiously.

"Yes." Chu Danqing gave an affirmative answer, and then said, "Do you still remember the five-colored divine artifacts on White Tiger Ridge?"

“That’s right, the five colors in that five-colored artifact are Brother Chu’s five-colored auspicious clouds,” Li Qingying said confidently.

Jiang Buqi was shocked upon hearing this, then realized a blind spot: "What about the divine artifact?"

"Then don't worry about it." Li Qingying's eyes flickered; she couldn't very well say that it was Chu Danqing who had thrown it out.

Chu Danqing rubbed his temples: "It was me. Qingying Biaoyun crashed directly into Baihu Ridge, and I'm the one who made that crater."

"In this situation, Da Bao can only save Li Qingying at most."

Jiang Buqi understood what was going on; if he were to bump into something again, the consequences would be unimaginable.

"Let's ride horses." Jiang Buqi decisively chose to support Chu Danqing.

"Two votes to one. Qingying and Dabao, you two come with me to buy horses." Chu Danqing said, getting up and pulling Li Qingying away.

Da Bao naturally followed along.

Chu Danqing deliberately left them some private space so the two could have a proper chat.

Since the mission progress can be increased, it means that Liu He is most likely a part of Jiang Buqi's destiny.

Getting to know each other or developing feelings is fine.

"Brother Chu, are you planning to use this singing girl to tie Jiang Buqi down? Once you have a family, you'll be more hesitant and indecisive than before."

"Considering what has happened before, even if Jiang Buqi survives, there is no possibility of him making a comeback."

"I will spend the rest of my life in the fields and countryside. With this, Xilong has lost a great enemy."

"Is that right?" Li Qingying asked.

Li Qingying had always assumed that Chu Danqing was in the Xilong camp, so she always considered things from Xilong's perspective.

As for him being a barbarian? He was driven out of the barbarian country, so what kind of barbarian is he?

"I don't know." Chu Danqing didn't have those thoughts; he was only focused on completing the trial mission.

In particular, because he lost sight of the solution process after looking at the answer, he is still completely confused about what to do next.
