Wedding ceremony tomorrow

Chapter 133 Call Me Brother!

It was evening.

When Luo Qingfeng came out of the courtyard, Zhang Cuicui was waiting outside.

The girl, dressed in a bright green jacket and skirt, was standing under the eaves of a nearby courtyard, rubbing her hands together to avoid the wind and snow. When she saw him come out, she quickly walked over.

"Senior Brother Luo!"

Luo Qingfeng stopped and looked at her.

He used to be called Junior Brother Luo.

However, that's how it is in the Demon Suppression Academy: the higher your cultivation level, the higher your status.

Zhang Cuicui approached him, stared at his handsome face for a few more moments, and then looked embarrassed. She said, "Senior Brother Luo, I have something I'd like to ask you. If I've inadvertently offended you, please forgive me."

Luo Qingfeng said, "Junior Sister Zhang, please speak freely."

Zhang Cuicui hesitated for a moment before looking at him and saying, "May I ask where Senior Brother Luo's home is?"

Luo Qingfeng paused for a moment, then said, "A small mountain village."

Zhang Cuicui then asked, "Where did Senior Brother Luo live before he came to the Demon Suppression Academy?"

Luo Qingfeng looked into her eyes and said, "Qingquan Town."

Zhang Cuicui's eyes lit up, and an excited look appeared on her face: "Song Yuanshan, the Song family, who are in the cloth business?"

Luo Qingfeng looked at her calmly and nodded: "That's my cousin."

Zhang Cuicui immediately laughed and said, "It really is you!"

Then, with a broad smile, he said, "When you mentioned your name that day, it sounded familiar, but I didn't think much of it. Yesterday, after I got home, my mother brought it up again, and when she mentioned your name, I started to have doubts. But I always thought it was unlikely, since I'd heard you were just a scholar back then. I never imagined it really was you!"

Luo Qingfeng had already suspected that she was the rich heiress his uncle had wanted to introduce to him the first day he heard her name.

However, the two didn't have much interaction back then, so there was no need to talk about those things.

Unexpectedly, she recognized me today.

However, Luo Qingfeng didn't reveal his thoughts. A look of confusion appeared on his face: "What does Junior Sister Zhang mean by that?"

Zhang Cuicui's smile faded slightly, and she couldn't help but sigh, saying, "It seems Senior Brother Luo doesn't recognize me anymore, and probably can't even remember my name. Master Song must have mentioned to you that he wanted to introduce you to a girl, right? My mother said you would visit my house in a couple of days, but you didn't. Senior Brother Luo, I also live in Qingquan Town, and my family has a very good relationship with your cousin's family. Didn't Master Song mention my name to you? He must have, right?"

Luo Qingfeng said, "I forgot."

Zhang Cuicui was immediately disappointed. She gave him a wistful look and said, "I knew you'd forgotten."

Luo Qingfeng did not speak again.

Zhang Cuicui glanced at him again and sighed, "No one expected what happened to Master Song's family. When I first found out, I thought you were also... Thankfully, you're alright. Senior Brother Luo, were you a cultivator back then? I heard from Master Song that you were a scholar and were preparing for next year's imperial examination."

Luo Qingfeng didn't answer, but looked at her and said, "Junior Sister Zhang probably didn't agree back then, right?"

This young woman is a cultivator at the fifth level of the Open Heaven Realm. How could she possibly agree to marry a scholar who can't even kill a chicken? She's probably just bored with her cultivation and wants to see the bookworm make a fool of himself.

Furthermore, he didn't believe that she had no doubts when she first heard his name that day.

They probably have suspicions, but they're pretending not to know.

Then today I saw that he suddenly changed from the Five Stars of Creation to the Seven Stars of Creation, so I came to "reminisce".

When Zhang Cuicui heard his question, she smiled and said, "How can I agree when we haven't even met? I was thinking that when we met, I would test you on some poetry, but who knew that Senior Brother Luo didn't give me a chance at all."

Luo Qingfeng knew that she was just being polite.

He glanced at the sky and was about to take his leave when Zhang Cuicui smiled and said, "Senior Brother Luo, how about we go out for dinner tonight? I'd like to hear how you went from a scholar to a cultivator. It's on me."

Luo Qingfeng politely declined, saying, "Thank you, Junior Sister Zhang, but I have other matters to attend to today, so I won't be going. Well, it's getting late, so I'll head back now."

After saying that, he cupped his hands in a respectful gesture and left.

When Zhang Cuicui called out to him again, she saw that he had already walked away quickly. She paused for a moment, and the expression on her face gradually became complicated.

Luo Qingfeng returned to the library.

Grandma Ning was leaning against the wall with her eyes closed, resting. When she saw him come in, she ignored him.

Luo Qingfeng went straight to the seventh floor.

Bai Ruofei, dressed in a loose gray-white robe, sat at the table, gazing blankly at the snowflakes outside the window. The proud object remained proudly displayed on the table.

Luo Qingfeng glanced at it, walked over, and cupped his hands, saying, "Senior, is there anything you need to instruct me on?"

He looked at the table, where a map was placed.

Bai Ruofei snapped out of her daze and slowly turned to look at him: "If I give the order, will you do it?"

Luo Qingfeng paused for a moment, then said, "As long as this junior can do it."

Bai Ruofei looked at him quietly for a while, then said, "It's alright, I don't need your help."

Luo Qingfeng lowered his head and remained silent.

A brief silence fell over the room.

After a moment, he looked up and asked, "When does Senior Bai plan to leave?"

Bai Ruofei stared blankly at the map on the table and said, "I don't know yet."

Luo Qingfeng didn't know what to say.

After standing there for a while, he prepared to take his leave.

Bai Ruofei seemed to remember something, took out a porcelain bottle from her sleeve, placed it on the table, and said, "This is the medicine you made; it's ready."

Luo Qingfeng was taken aback for a moment, then said, "Five Poisons Tendon-Dissolving Powder?"

He reached out and took it in his hand, shaking it gently. It seemed to have been ground into powder.

Bai Ruofei then asked, "Do you know the art of concealing your breath?"

Luo Qingfeng shook his head.

Bai Ruofei took a thin book, placed it on the table, and explained, "If you learn this, you won't hurt yourself when you use these poisons in the future."

Luo Qingfeng paused for a moment, then did not reach out to take it.

Bai Ruofei looked at him and said, "Consider this your reward. We agreed to give you gold before."

Luo Qingfeng paused for a moment, then said, "Senior Bai has already given me too much. I... I feel guilty. Apart from helping Senior Bai with his calligraphy, I haven't been able to do anything else for you."

Bai Ruofei's gaze returned to the snowflakes outside the window, and she said softly, "Actually, you've helped me a lot too. When you were helping me translate and guess the contents, you would always say some strange things. Although they were strange, sometimes they made things clear to me."

Luo Qingfeng was silent for a moment, then asked, "If Senior Bai finds him, will he come back?"

Bai Ruofei didn't answer. She turned her gaze from the window to him and asked, "Do you want me to come back?"

Luo Qingfeng said, "I want to."

Bai Ruofei asked, "Why?"

Luo Qingfeng met her gaze, and for a moment, he didn't know how to answer.

The room fell silent again.

Outside the window, the sky was gradually darkening.

As Luo Qingfeng was carefully considering his words, she suddenly changed her expression and said, "You've advanced again?"

Luo Qingfeng nodded: "Yes, I just advanced last night to the Seven Stars of Heaven Opening."

Bai Ruofei looked at him with complicated emotions.

A moment of silence.

She raised her delicate hand, picked up the "Concealing Breath Technique" manual on the table, and handed it to him: "If you master it, you can conceal your true cultivation level."

Luo Qingfeng glanced at her again, then took the gift without further hesitation, bowing his head and saying, "Thank you, senior."

Bai Ruofei suddenly added, "In this new disciple competition, do your best and strive to enter the Heavenly Rank Team as soon as possible."

Luo Qingfeng replied, "Yes."

Bai Ruofei's mood seemed to improve suddenly. She stared at him for a while and said, "Go cultivate, cultivate well, and then... go."

She seemed to want to say something, but then stopped.

Luo Qingfeng took his leave.

As they reached the top of the stairs, Bai Ruofei suddenly said, "You can do whatever you want with those cultivation techniques."

Luo Qingfeng stopped and bowed his head again to express his gratitude.

After he left the library, Granny Ning silently went upstairs and asked, "Miss, has that boy still not agreed?"

Bai Ruofei looked at the snowflakes outside the window, remained silent for a while, and then said, "He will go by himself."

Grandma Ning asked with a puzzled look, "What was that boy doing there by himself?"

Bai Ruofei's eyes flashed, and she said calmly, "The most outstanding and talented disciples of the Demon Suppression Academy, and even the entire Great Yan, will be selected to go there."

Granny Ning was stunned, her face full of disbelief: "In the past five years, only a few human geniuses have been selected. That kid... Miss, do you really value that kid that much? If he's really that powerful, then I'll knock him out and take him away no matter what!"

Bai Ruofei looked at the snowflakes dancing outside the window and said nothing more.

Luo Qingfeng left the Demon Suppression Academy, then went to the vegetable market to buy groceries, and went to Red Leaf Alley.

As expected, Nightingale had already gone out to do a mission, leaving only Aya and Grandma at home.

The two were very happy to see him.

Aya immediately went into the kitchen, sat down behind the stove, and began to light a fire and add firewood.

Grandma was about to come in and help, but after glancing at the two of them, she went back out and said with a smile at the door, "Aya, you're helping Afeng cook, remember to listen to your brother Afeng."

After his grandmother left, Luo Qingfeng chopped vegetables while turning to the girl behind the stove and said, "Aya, call me brother."

Aya glanced up at him, then continued to put firewood down, ignoring him.

Luo Qingfeng said, "If you don't listen to your brother, I'm going to tell Grandma."

Aya turned her pretty face away and still ignored him, her little mouth seemingly pouting slightly.

Luo Qingfeng glanced at her again, stopped chopping vegetables, and suddenly said, "Aya, if you call me brother, I'll teach you a cultivation technique. After you practice it, you'll never have to wear a mask again, and you can change your face at will. It'll be a lot of fun."

Aya was stunned and looked at him.

Luo Qingfeng smiled and continued chopping vegetables. As he chopped, he suddenly felt something was wrong. This little girl seemed unable to speak!

He couldn't help but slap his head.

I was so preoccupied with thinking about Senior Bai that I completely forgot about this matter.

He quickly turned his head and said, "Ah Ya, write with your finger or a twig, not by shouting it out."

Aya kept her head down and ignored him.

Luo Qingfeng didn't say much and started cooking.

after eating.

He locked the courtyard gate and pulled A-Ya into Nightingale's room.

Grandma happened to see it and quickly went into her room, saying at the door, "Oh, getting old makes you so sleepy. You're sleepy so early."

After saying that, he immediately locked the door.

Luo Qingfeng pulled the little girl into the room, lit the oil lamp, went over and closed the window. Just as he was about to turn around and speak, Aya immediately blushed and fled the room, returning to her own room and quickly closing the door.

Luo Qingfeng was taken aback for a moment before realizing that it was indeed inappropriate for a man and a woman to be alone in a room late at night.

Ok.

After thinking for a moment, he decided to cultivate for a while, then leave his body to investigate the situation of the Yuan family.

Nightingale has gone off to do some mission somewhere, so he needs to be careful.

He thought for a while, and just as he was about to get into bed, the bedroom door suddenly creaked open.

The little girl appeared at the door carrying a large quilt; her petite figure was almost entirely hidden behind the quilt.

Luo Qingfeng then realized that there was no blanket on the bed.
