Fellow Daoist! That scoundrel has written a new book again.

Chapter 255 Drinking Under the Moon

I wish you a safe and comfortable return home.

Perhaps someone saw their whereabouts and knew they were at Chaoxi Bookstore, so their home was not affected.

But it still worried the Zhu family a lot.

When Zhu Wuyao pushed open the courtyard gate, her parents, who were among the many people in the crowd, were quietly discussing going to look for someone.

Ah Meng was deliberately kept in the dark about this matter.

Upon seeing Zhu Wuyao return, the two members of the Zhu family rushed over with a cry of "Oh dear!" and almost burst into tears upon seeing the lively and energetic Zhu Wuyao.

"Are you alright? I heard you wrote another poem that attracted all the literati in the city to Chaoxi Bookstore. I heard the crowd was so large they could lift the roof off!"

"It's good that we're safe and sound. This is making too much of a fuss."

Although the Zhu couple were proud of their daughter's achievements, they did not want her to be hurt because of them.

Zhu Wuyao offered some kind words of comfort.

Then, he mentioned that he was too busy with the bookstore these days to stay at home.

The two men exchanged a glance, seemingly wanting to say something to persuade her to stay, but after much hesitation, they knew that their daughter was a woman of her own mind. She had said she was going on a trip and hadn't returned home for several years, but when she came back, her book "The Travels of the Zhu Family" became famous throughout the city.

After hesitating for a long time, Zhu Chaoyun forced a smile and said:

“We’re all in the same city, we can see each other just by walking a few more steps. It’s alright. My daughter has great ambitions, and we can’t just stifle her wings.”

Zhu Liang nodded in agreement and said:

"Since we're moving to Chaoxi Bookstore, let's have dinner at home tonight."

"I'll go start a fire right now!"

Zhu Wuyao was about to stop him, but before she could even utter a word, she saw her father, from the "Scenes of Life," run to the kitchen. She raised her hand, then helplessly lowered it.

With Ye Xiaozhou around at Chaoxi Bookstore, nothing should go wrong.

If something really happens, it must be a huge deal, and you'll know about it even if you're at home.

With that in mind, Zhu Wuyao still ate dinner at home and symbolically packed some luggage.

She also brought snacks that her family had given her.

A Meng was unaware that Zhu Wuyao was moving.

Now, they are practicing the self-defense techniques taught by Master Qi in the school in the courtyard. No wonder the Zhu couple accepted Ye Xiaozhou's work as a knife seller on credit, thinking that it was not bad to buy a kitchen knife to use.

So this little girl keeps breaking tree branches, she's practically broken the tree bare.

Looking at A-Meng dancing and chattering in the courtyard, Zhu Wuyao smiled and was about to go up and tell her about the upcoming meeting at Chaoxi Bookstore.

Zhu Wuyao suddenly stopped in his tracks.

She looked at A-Meng, who was practicing self-defense, and stared at her for a long time.

-

night.

Qi Suowei laid out the three essentials for reading: a good moon, good wine, and a good mood.

Life amidst the myriad forms of humanity is truly dreary and boring.

At first, every time I woke up, I was still somewhat interested in this world.

But after many repetitions, through countless cycles, she could memorize what each person would say in what situation.

Like a pool of stagnant water.

Over and over again, the cycle continues.

Later, having exhausted her chances of clarity, she devoted almost all her strategic moves to fighting against Silver Fox, leaving little room for planning for herself.

Therefore, before this batch of new people arrived, she had already gone through dozens of cycles of reincarnation in the almost unchanging panorama of sentient beings.

She had just opened the book "What's on the Other Side of the Mountain" when she tilted her head.

Immediately afterwards, the storybook in his hand turned into a serious book.

A girl dressed in black climbed over the wall.

Qi Suowei raised his head, displaying just the right amount of panic and surprise.

Before she could speak, the newcomer clasped his hands in a fist salute and said:

"Master Qi, Sword Immortal Qi, thank you for teaching my younger sister the sword techniques."

This person was none other than Zhu Wuyao.

She had seen Ah Meng practicing self-defense techniques by waving tree branches before, but she never took it seriously.

They thought it was just for improving health.

As a result, before parting that night, she suddenly realized that although the martial arts involved were just tree branches, there was quite a bit of skill involved in each move.

Zhu Wuyao became increasingly alarmed as he read on.

They even couldn't help but memorize a few moves and secretly learn them.

After leaving home, I couldn't resist taking out the kitchen knife from my storage bag and swinging it a few times according to the moves I remembered.

Although the true meaning of the technique was not yet understood, it was still clear that this was no ordinary sword technique.

At this point, she finally identified "Master Qi" as her suspect.

Qi Suowei flicked his sleeve, and the book in his hand disappeared.

She wasn't a talkative person.

He is even somewhat cold-hearted.

But the life depicted in the various scenes of life is not something a human being can live. To this day, she has even learned to talk to herself.

When she saw her fellow human juniors come before her, she did not put on any airs of a sword immortal.

He pointed to the stone bench next to him and said:

"sit down."

Zhu Wuyao seemed a bit reserved. She sat on the stone bench with a serious expression and carefully accepted the wine glass that was handed to her.

Then, I glanced at Qi Jianxian.

She hasn't forgotten how much personal stuff she stuffed into "What's on the Other Side of the Mountain" and how many couples she paired up with her.

Now she's dancing right in front of the real person, and the real person is a powerful figure who could end her life with a single sword strike...

Moreover, Zhu Wuyao clearly remembered that during her first reincarnation, she had given this "Master Qi" a kitchen knife, sending him back into reincarnation.

All these things combined make Zhu Wuyao feel truly guilty.

Therefore, they were exceptionally polite.

The big shot spoke up, immediately addressing the matter Zhu Wuyao wanted to quickly dodge—

"Your storybook is quite interesting."

Qi Suowei nodded in agreement.

Zhu Wuyao said in a proper manner:

"The Travels of Zhu Shi is just an ordinary piece of writing, please excuse my poor writing."

Hearing this evasive answer, Qi Suowei gave her a half-smile, but didn't spell it out.

She wasn't angry at all. Although it had given her many more male confidants and was a rather bold move, it all became part of the general public's experience.

They might never get out of there in their lifetime.

What's the point of putting on airs like a senior?

Qi Suowei smiled and said:

"Your 'Travels of the Zhu Family' has helped me a lot."

May you understand the refined meaning behind the music without being invited.

During the conversation with A-Meng, we occasionally talked about her teacher, Qi. According to A-Meng, the school's philosophy was to stay in one's hometown, maintain one's family business, and stay by one's parents' side.

This aligns perfectly with the descriptions of external dangers in "The Travels of Zhu Shi".

This was something that Zhu Wuyao couldn't understand after guessing that Master Qi was the Sword Immortal Qi Suowei.

She was about to ask about this when she suddenly remembered something else and cautiously asked:

Are there ears on the walls?

Qi Suowei shook his head.

"Can I trust you?"

Upon hearing this, Qi Suowei chuckled lightly. Was he afraid that she and Silver Fox would collude in evil?

Hmm... As for relationships, they are indeed complicated and difficult to unravel.

"If you don't believe me, why did you come to me?"

The big shots are always too lazy to explain.

Zhu Wuyao said solemnly:

"Because I have found a way to break the deadlock. If you are not trustworthy, then we will go out on our own without you."

Qi Suowei paused in his act of pouring wine for himself.

So now it's my turn to prove to you that I am trustworthy?
