Wedding ceremony tomorrow

Chapter 135 Two Sisters

It was evening.

After finishing his cultivation, Luo Qingfeng took advantage of his hot and restless body to take a bath in the backyard, change into clean clothes, and then left the courtyard.

Just as he stepped out of the courtyard, Liang Feng and several new disciples approached. Upon seeing him, they immediately cupped their hands and smiled, "Congratulations, Junior Brother Luo, on your advancement to the Seventh Star of the Heavenly Opening Realm."

The tall, thin young man named Sun Wang quickly replied with a smile, "It should be Senior Brother Luo."

Liang Feng realized what was happening and quickly said embarrassedly, "Yes, yes, it should be Senior Brother Luo."

The others also wore ingratiating smiles.

Luo Qingfeng had a good impression of the burly Senior Brother Liang, and returned the greeting with a cupped hand, saying, "Fellow disciples, there's no need to be so polite. Calling me Senior Brother or Junior Brother is fine."

Sun Wang quickly replied, "That won't do. It's the academy's rule. Those with higher cultivation levels are naturally called senior brothers. You can't just call them that casually."

The others nodded in agreement.

Luo Qingfeng smiled and said nothing more.

Liang Feng asked, "By the way, Senior Brother Luo, have you signed up for the new disciple competition?"

Luo Qingfeng nodded: "It's already been submitted."

Sun Wang laughed from the side, "With Senior Brother Luo's cultivation level, he will definitely get a good ranking."

Another young man named Ren Song also laughed and said, "Let's try to defeat more disciples from the South Academy and bring glory to our North Academy."

The group exchanged pleasantries for a while longer.

Liang Feng invited, "Senior Brother Luo, are you busy tonight? We're having dinner at a restaurant tonight. There are thirteen new disciples in total. Except for two who can't go, everyone else is going. Senior Brother Lin and the others have already gone. We're waiting here for Senior Brother Luo so we can go with you."

Luo Qingfeng looked embarrassed and said apologetically, "I'm sorry, I really have something to do tonight and I really don't have time."

Although the group was somewhat disappointed by these words, they did not say anything more.

Sun Wang smiled broadly and said, "It's alright, Senior Brother Luo, please go ahead and do what you need to do. We'll just let you know later. We'll have plenty of opportunities to eat together in the future."

Everyone else also expressed their understanding.

After exchanging pleasantries for a while, Luo Qingfeng took his leave and went directly to the library.

Although it was indeed appropriate for a new disciple to attend such an occasion, otherwise he would be gossiped about behind his back or isolated, he simply didn't have the time or the inclination to go.

Maintaining relationships in that world was already exhausting. Having finally escaped it, he really didn't want to waste his time and life on those hypocritical things anymore.

In this world, strength is everything.

The attitude of his new disciples towards him now speaks volumes.

When he first arrived, no one paid him any attention. They would just greet him politely when they met. If he asked a few more questions, people would become very impatient.

What now?

When they learned that he had now advanced to the seventh level of the Heavenly Opening Realm, second only to the genius youth Lin Yun, everyone's attitude suddenly changed.

Even Zhang Cuicui, who used to barely glance at him, started trying to get closer to him.

So while interpersonal relationships may be useful, what's truly most important is your own ability.

In his world, in some places, strength is actually quite useless. Of course, if flattery and drinking can be considered strength, then that's a different story.

When Luo Qingfeng returned to the library, he found a girl in a red dress standing on the steps, hopping and skipping around playing a game with her head down.

Beneath the red skirt, a pair of little feet clad in red boots were bouncing around, a pebble between their toes, moving with a rhythmic hopping and releasing motion.

Luo Qingfeng walked over and asked, "What brings you here?"

Hearing the voice, Dong Miaomiao turned around and looked at him, a sweet smile immediately appearing on her face: "Missed you, sir."

"Ahem!"

Immediately, Granny Ning's cold voice rang out from inside the room: "Go away and talk to me. Don't disturb the old woman's sleep."

"snort!"

Dong Miaomiao snorted, skipped down the steps, and said with a smile, "Sir, I'm here to remind you not to forget to go to class tomorrow."

Luo Qingfeng said, "I haven't forgotten."

Tomorrow is the last class of the month, and the Ningguo Mansion should pay him.

He certainly wouldn't forget.

Dong Miaomiao said in a low voice, "Then why don't you go tonight, sir? Xiao Tao and Xiao Mei miss you very much. The two little maids strip naked and hug each other every night, calling out for you."

Luo Qingfeng looked at her and asked, "How did you know?"

Dong Miaomiao said calmly, "I peeked."

Luo Qingfeng asked, "Is this the only place you're using your [wall-penetrating] ability?"

Dong Miaomiao immediately feigned ignorance: "Passing through walls? What kind of supernatural power is that? Who has the supernatural power of passing through walls? Has the master awakened it? Ah, then I'll have to be careful when I take a shower in the room from now on."

Luo Qingfeng ignored her and said, "Go back quickly, I still need to go to the library, I have other things to do tonight. As for whether I'll go to the manor tonight, I don't know yet."

Dong Miaomiao immediately pouted: "I still want to have dinner with Mr. [Sir]."

Luo Qingfeng said, "Next time."

He then added, "I'll treat you to dinner once I get my salary."

Dong Miaomiao chuckled, blinked her bright eyes, and said, "Is Mr./Ms. reminding me not to forget to tell the head steward that I need to pay Mr./Ms.'s salary tomorrow?"

Luo Qingfeng looked embarrassed and thought to himself: This little girl is a bit too smart. It seems that girls who are too smart are really not cute and not likable at all.

He could only say, "The money you gave me last time was more than enough, but..."

"That was for my husband; it has nothing to do with his salary for teaching at the school."

Dong Miaomiao immediately said, "Sir, there's no need to be embarrassed. Since the head steward has already promised and signed a contract with you, he will definitely give it to you."

Luo Qingfeng didn't say anything more.

Seeing that he had something to do, Dong Miaomiao could only wave her hand and said reluctantly, "Teacher, Junior Brother, Brother Feng, see you tomorrow."

Luo Qingfeng remained silent and waved his hand as well.

After taking a few steps, the little girl suddenly picked up a clump of snow from the ground and threw it at him.

Luo Qingfeng did not dodge.

"Snapped!"

A snowball exploded on his face, sending snowflakes flying.

The little girl immediately burst into laughter, bending over, then waved, turned around, and skipped away.

Luo Qingfeng wiped the snow off his face and walked into the library.

Grandma Ning opened her eyes, glanced at him, and snorted coldly, "Next time you're flirting, remember to stay away and don't provoke this old woman."

Luo Qingfeng quickly apologized and explained, "That was my student."

Granny Ning snorted, "No need to make excuses."

Luo Qingfeng didn't explain further and went straight up the stairs.

When they arrived on the sixth floor, Senior Bai was not there.

He hesitated for a moment, then went upstairs again.

The aroma of medicine wafted from the alchemy room; Senior Bai must be refining medicine inside.

Luo Qingfeng walked over and said at the door, "Senior Bai."

After a moment, Bai Ruofei's voice came from inside: "There's nothing I need your help with. Just focus on your cultivation."

Luo Qingfeng paused for a moment, then cupped his hands and said, "Then this junior will take his leave. This junior will not be returning tonight."

There was a moment of silence inside, then it was said, "Remember to practice the [Concealing Breath Technique]."

Luo Qingfeng respectfully replied, "Yes."

No one spoke from inside.

Luo Qingfeng took his leave and went downstairs.

After leaving the Demon Suppression Academy, he went to the market to buy groceries and returned to Red Leaf Alley.

However, Nightingale did not return.

Only Aya and her grandmother were at home.

Luo Qingfeng cooked dinner and ate with Aya and her grandmother.

During the meal, Grandma suddenly became more talkative, talking about many other people's affairs, but she couldn't stop talking about the two sisters.

"I heard that Master Zhang has taken seven concubines, two of whom are sisters..."

"The two sisters in the Wang family had a very good relationship. When they got married, they both married the same scholar, and I heard the three of them were very loving..."

"Do you know Niu Er from the vegetable market? A man like him has already married two sisters... These days, capable men are highly sought after; many women are willing to marry them."

Luo Qingfeng finally understood.

It seems that Grandma heard what he joked with Aya last night, which is why she's subtly telling him now: What's going on between brother-in-law and sister-in-law? Isn't it normal for two sisters to marry the same man? Sisters who have a good relationship are willing to marry the same person, and they won't fight over him, which saves a lot of trouble.

Luo Qingfeng echoed a few words, but didn't say anything more.

Ah Ya kept his head down and ate without uttering a sound.

Of course, the little girl couldn't say anything.

after eating.

Luo Qingfeng washed the dishes with Aya, then said to her, "Practice the technique you used last night. If you don't understand anything, you can ask me."

Aya nodded.

Luo Qingfeng left the kitchen, hesitated for a moment, and said to her, "I won't be staying here tonight. I have to get up early for school tomorrow morning. Remember to cultivate tonight, but also remember to get some sleep. It's best not to stay up late."

Aya raised her head, glanced at him, then lowered it again, as if she wanted to ask him where he was going tonight.

Luo Qingfeng said, "I'm going to Ningguo Mansion."

She paused, then added, "Actually, I should have explained things to Grandma, but I'm too embarrassed to say it. I understand what Grandma means, but don't be afraid, I won't bully you. Also, Aya, I'll work with Nightingale to find a way to cure your illness."

Aya lowered her head, her two little hands tightly gripping her skirt.

Luo Qingfeng glanced at the sky and said, "Tell Grandma I have something to do, so I'll be leaving now. It's cold, remember to cover yourself well tonight."

After saying that, he gently patted her head, then stepped through the snow, went out the door, and quickly left.

The little girl stood silently in the courtyard for a long time before slowly raising her head and staring blankly at the empty gate.

Luo Qingfeng paused for a moment at the entrance of Red Leaf Alley before leaving the alley and heading towards Ningguo Mansion.

The streets were deserted in the darkness, amidst the wind and snow.

The few shops that were scattered around were also closed.

Luo Qingfeng was secretly thinking about the mission.

At noon, he checked the quest log and found that most of the quests were located in distant areas. There was one quest in the inner city, but it only required a team that had been together for more than six months.

He hasn't formed a team in the North Campus yet, so he can't take on such a mission for the time being.

Let's go check it out tomorrow.

He entered Ningguo Mansion through the back door.

When we arrived at Qingzhu Garden, the gate was already locked.

He simply climbed over the wall and entered.

The room was dimly lit, and the sounds of two little girls playing and talking could be heard.

Luo Qingfeng did not knock on the door immediately, but went to the window in the corridor and looked inside through the crack in the window.

Just then, he sensed something was wrong and looked down.

On the thin layer of snow on the ground, there was another pair of footprints!
