Wedding ceremony tomorrow

Chapter 164 Love Between Men and Women

Ningguo Prefecture.

In the early hours of the morning, after the two maids had fallen asleep, Luo Qingfeng's soul left his body and flew into the night sky.

This time, he flew higher.

The city has been under heavy security these past few days, and there might be skilled fighters patrolling at night.

If you fly too low, you'll be in trouble if you get spotted.

Before long, he had arrived at the Yuan residence.

The mansion was pitch black, with no light coming from any of the courtyards or houses.

The guards and servants who usually keep watch at night are all gone.

The entire mansion was deathly silent, as if no one was there anymore.

Seeing this, Luo Qingfeng dared not make any further rash moves. He observed the situation in mid-air for a long time before decisively leaving.

Yuan Tong should have already noticed something.

Once, when he tried to peek in his spirit, he was discovered. Now that Yuan Fang has been suddenly killed in the mansion at an extremely fast speed, the other party certainly wouldn't dare to stay here anymore.

Or perhaps, a trap had already been laid in the mansion.

Therefore, we must not be careless at this time.

Luo Qingfeng stopped wandering around and quickly returned to Ningguo Mansion.

Back in his room, he wasn't sleepy at all.

After thinking for a while, he sat cross-legged on the couch and began to cultivate.

You'd better hurry up and get promoted to the next level!

The Nine Stars of Creation grant faster speed, greater strength, and can also enhance one's innate supernatural abilities.

Although his innate supernatural ability [clairvoyance] sounds bad, it is still very useful.

Especially when scouting the enemy.

Moreover, his innate ability of "clairvoyance" has significantly enhanced his eyesight, allowing him to see his opponent's moves more quickly and clearly, directly increasing his reaction speed and overall strength.

Calm your mind and concentrate.

The eight stars within his body began to twinkle.

In the night sky, a star whose location in the Milky Way was unknown, burning with raging flames, began to twinkle.

Streams of pure stellar energy began to flow down from the night sky and enter his body.

Within the sea of ​​energy, it was rapidly refined.

At the same time, the wandering starlight is slowly cleansing and expanding, and constantly tempering the meridians, acupoints, and internal organs throughout the body...

Night fell silently.

The bright moon in the night sky was gradually obscured by dark clouds and disappeared into the horizon.

It was around four in the morning.

He finished his practice and calmed the energy in his dantian for a while before getting up and going into the inner room.

He has classes tomorrow, so he needs to get some sleep.

Once in bed and under the covers, Xiao Tao woke up, her petite and delicate body curled up tightly in his arms.

Luo Qingfeng reached out and hugged her, stroking her smooth shoulders and the loose strands of hair, and asked in a low voice, "Who taught you those folk arts last night?"

The young maid buried her face shyly in his chest and said in a bashful voice, "I read it in a book..."

Luo Qingfeng said, "Impressive, did Xiaomei see it too?"

The maidservant said shyly, "Yes, we learned it together..."

Luo Qingfeng lowered his head and kissed her small lips, saying, "No wonder you played so well together."

The young maidservant raised her flushed face and asked, "Does the young master dislike me and Xiaomei?"

Luo Qingfeng asked, "Why would you ask that?"

The little maid bit her pink lips, looking somewhat aggrieved: "Young master doesn't want us."

Luo Qingfeng stroked her smooth, jade-like back and said softly, "Let's talk about it when we have our own house. Every time I come here, people eavesdrop outside, so we can't make too much noise."

"what?"

The maidservant was startled upon hearing this: "Who...who's eavesdropping outside?"

Luo Qingfeng didn't answer, but said, "Just keep it to yourself, don't tell Xiaomei about that person..."

Suddenly, a small head popped out from under the covers, pouting, and said, "Young master, you're biased! You really only like Xiao Tao, boohoo..."

Luo Qingfeng: "..."

"Go to sleep, go to sleep. I have to get up early for class tomorrow."

He didn't say anything more and immediately closed his eyes.

The two little girls didn't dare to disturb him anymore, but they started whispering to each other under the covers.

"Little Mei, Young Master isn't being biased at all. Of all the things he brought back, you got the most to eat. Look at your chubby little belly..."

"I'll pinch you..."

"Hehe, stop fooling around, don't disturb the young master's sleep... Ah, don't pinch there... I'll pinch you too!"

"Ouch! It hurts..."

The two incredibly fierce little girls played around for a while before finally quieting down.

Luo Qingfeng fell asleep quickly.

The next day.

Half an hour after sunrise, Xiao Tao called him to get up.

The weather is cold now, and the young nobles in the manor get up late, so there is no need to go too early.

After washing up and having breakfast, Luo Qingfeng went out.

As he passed by the head butler's courtyard, the head butler, Mei Hanliu, happened to be standing at the door, seemingly waiting for him.

Luo Qingfeng quickly stepped forward to apologize: "Butler, I'm so sorry, I had something to do yesterday and forgot about class."

Mei Hanliu smiled faintly and said, "It's alright, as long as Mr. Luo can come. But why did you come back so late last night? The Third Miss hasn't returned yet, and Master and Madam were so worried that they wanted to go out and look for her themselves."

Luo Qingfeng looked apologetic: "I invited Miss San to my home for dinner and forgot to inform her. It was my oversight."

Mei Hanliu smiled and said, "It's nothing, I was just asking casually. Mr. Luo, you should go to class."

Luo Qingfeng bowed and took his leave.

After he led Xiaotao and Xiaomei away, the maid pushed Miss Dong out of the house and came to Mei Hanliu's side.

Miss Dong looked in the direction Luo Qingfeng had left and said softly, "I knew it, he would come back. At least, before Xiao Tao and Xiao Mei left with him."

Mei Hanliu's eyes flickered for a moment, then she said, "I always feel that the Third Miss and him... are getting too close, too..."

Miss Dong smiled slightly: "Isn't it fine?"

Mei Hanliu looked at her.

Miss Dong said softly, "With Miaomiao's talent, she will definitely leave the manor in the future. When that time comes, we will feel at ease knowing that someone will take care of her."

"But he..."

"Sister Hanliu, intimacy between men and women is sometimes not just about romantic love; sometimes it's simply about being compatible. There are also many pure friendships between men and women, and their friendships are sometimes stronger than those between people of the same sex."

"Second Miss, where did you learn all this?"

"In the book..."

"..."

There were a few more students in the classroom today.

When Luo Qingfeng was lecturing, Dong Miaomiao held a ruler and was responsible for maintaining classroom discipline. Anyone who dared to whisper or not listen attentively would be severely punished by her.

Several students older than her were also intimidated by her and sat up straight.

The atmosphere in the classroom became somewhat tense for a moment.

However, when Luo Qingfeng started telling the story, the atmosphere immediately became more relaxed. Dong Miaomiao took the lead in laughing, and the other students also laughed.

After telling the fascinating story, Luo Qingfeng began his lesson by starting with the story.

"Today we're going to learn an idiom called 'carving a mark on a boat to find a lost sword'..."

One sunny day, Dong Miaomiao and Dong Xiaopang went boating on the lotus leaves in East Lake in the east of the city. Dong Miaomiao, wanting to appear cultured, carried a sword with her...

Everyone laughed at this point.

Dong Miaomiao also beamed with joy.

"...Suddenly, the sword fell into the lake. Dong Miaomiao was startled and cried out in panic, 'My sword! My sword!'... Dong Xiaopang laughed loudly beside her. Dong Miaomiao was furious. She grabbed him, threw him into the lake, and ordered, 'Dong Xiaopang, go and retrieve my sword! Otherwise, you'll be sorry!'"

Everyone laughed when this was mentioned.

Outside the window, the head butler, the third wife, and the fourth wife had all appeared and were listening intently.

Miss Dong, also in a wheelchair, listened with a smile on her face.

In class, all the students were quiet and listened attentively.

Luo Qingfeng continued, "The lake was very deep. After Dong Xiaopang and the sword fell in, they were never seen again. Dong Miaomiao panicked and started shouting at the lake, then she started crying, saying, 'Xiaopang, Xiaopang, come out quickly! I'll never hit you again...'"

Dong Xiaopang smiled as he looked at Dong Miaomiao.

Dong Miaomiao scoffed, "I won't cry!"

Luo Qingfeng continued, "Dong Miaomiao cried for a while, then suddenly thought of a good idea. She immediately took out a dagger and carved a line on the side of the boat where the sword and Dong Xiaopang had fallen. Then, wiping away her tears, she said to herself with a smug look, 'The water is deep here, so Dong Xiaopang and the sword are definitely not going to be found. Later, I'll row the boat to a shallower spot near the shore. They fell in from this line, so I'll jump down along it and pull them out. Hehe, I'm so clever!'"

"Hahahahahahaha..."

The classroom erupted in laughter.

Dong Miaomiao's laughter was the most exaggerated.

The other students and people outside the window were also laughing.

Only Dong Xiaopang looked confused, not knowing what everyone was laughing at. He thought to himself: Isn't Dong Miaomiao's method pretty good?

"Sir! I'm not that stupid!"

Dong Miaomiao laughed as she kicked her little feet, clad in embroidered shoes, under the table. She wasn't angry at all that her husband was making fun of her; on the contrary, she seemed quite happy.

"Everyone, remember this idiom: 'carving a mark on a boat to find a lost sword.' Of course, if you really can't remember it, you can first remember the words 'carving a mark on a boat to find a lost sword'..."

Upon hearing this, everyone burst into laughter again.

Luo Qingfeng explained the meaning of the idiom again in detail, and then wrote the words "刻舟求剑" (carving a mark on a boat to find a sword) and "刻舟求小胖" (carving a mark on a boat to find a little fat man) in large characters on the blackboard, and asked everyone to write them a few times.

Everyone laughed and started writing with their pens.

After finishing writing, Luo Qingfeng erased the words on the blackboard, then went down and collected everyone's writings. He then said, "Now, everyone, write it down from memory again. Write down this idiom and its meaning. You don't need to write down everything I just said completely, just the meaning. If you can't write it down, I will order Dong Miaomiao to teach you with a ruler."

Dong Miaomiao immediately exclaimed excitedly, "Yay! Yay!"

Everyone immediately lowered their heads and started writing.

"Sir! I've finished writing!"

"Sir, I've finished writing too!"

Soon, everyone raised the Xuan paper in their hands.

Luo Qingfeng went over to read the papers one by one. When he saw what Dong Xiaopang had written, he couldn't help but laugh and said, "Xiaopang, I asked you to write 'Marking the Boat to Find the Sword,' but you wrote 'Marking the Boat to Find Xiaopang' instead."

Everyone burst into laughter.

Luo Qingfeng added, "But you wrote them all correctly, not bad."

Then, looking at Dong Yaozu, who was bowing his head, he said, "Special praise should be given to Dong Yaozu. His handwriting is the best, and his explanation is the most complete. He wrote down almost every word of what I just explained. He's excellent! Let's give him a round of applause!"

As he spoke, he took the lead in applauding.

Dong Miaomiao immediately joined in clapping, and the other students hesitated for a moment before also clapping.

At this moment, even the Third Madam, Miss Dong, and the maids outside the window all began to applaud.

Dong Yaozu slowly raised his head, his eyes filled with tears.

The fourth wife outside the window also had red eyes and was wiping away tears.

Luo Qingfeng didn't say anything more and started explaining the next idiom and text.

Even when it ended at noon, the students inside the window and the onlookers outside were still reluctant to leave.

Luo Qingfeng assigned the homework and then announced the end of get out of class.

As he walked out the door with his books, the fourth wife came over with red eyes and said, "Mr. Luo, I have prepared a meal. I hope you will do me the honor of having a meal."

Then he added, "Miaomiao, Xiangxue, and the head steward, all of you go."

Luo Qingfeng glanced at her, but did not refuse. He cupped his hands and said, "Then I will trouble Fourth Madam."

The fourth wife quickly smiled through her tears and said, "No trouble at all, no trouble at all."

He then hurriedly said to the door, "Yaozu, what are you still standing there for? Hurry up and take the master over there."

Dong Yaozu quickly limped out.

After lunch.

Luo Qingfeng did not stay at Ningguo Mansion for long. After saying goodbye to Xiaotao and Xiaomei, he left.

Dong Miaomiao escorted him all the way to the alley entrance, waving goodbye and saying, "Sir, I'll wait for you at your teacher's house tonight."

Luo Qingfeng said, "You can go, but you need to come back early tonight, and you also need to tell your mother in advance."

Dong Miaomiao nodded and said, "Yes, I know!"

Luo Qingfeng didn't say anything more, waved and left, heading straight to the Demon Suppression Academy.

He decided to ask Senior Bai for help again, hoping that the other party had another way to make the Yuan family wary and at least delay the matter for a while longer.

When he arrived at the library in the North Courtyard, he found many cultivators coming out of the door one after another, all carrying books.

It turns out that today is the opening day of the library.

Luo Qingfeng entered the gate, did not see Granny Ning, and went straight upstairs.

Unexpectedly, Grandma Ning was sitting on the fifth-floor staircase.

Those cultivators could only read books in the hall below the fifth floor and were not allowed to go up, but many people still secretly looked up.

However, there was nothing on the fifth floor.

Under everyone's watchful eyes, Luo Qingfeng walked directly up the stairs, stood in front of Granny Ning, and whispered, "Granny, I have something to discuss with Senior Bai. I'll come down to pack up the books later."

Grandma Ning closed her eyes, as if she were already asleep.

Knowing her temper, Luo Qingfeng didn't say anything more and walked past her.

A man downstairs, seeing this, immediately brightened up and tiptoed up the stairs. But just as he was about to slip past Granny Ning, she suddenly kicked him, sending him flying down the stairs with a loud "bang." Opening her eyes, her face was cold and stern as she said, "Get out! From today onwards, you're not allowed to enter the library for the next six months! If you come back, your legs will be broken!"

Seeing that everyone was laughing at him, the man was filled with shame and got up from the ground, staggering downstairs.

Grandma Ning closed her eyes again.

At this moment, everyone else was speculating about the identity of the boy.

Luo Qingfeng went straight to the sixth floor.

However, in front of the sixth-floor window, where Bai Ruofei usually sat, there was another figure sitting.

Wearing a pink dress, with long black hair, snow-white skin, and a beautiful and refined appearance, her ample bosom was proudly displayed on the table in front of her. It was none other than the girl she had teased before!
