Everywhere in Jianghu is Wonderful

“What’s he doing here?” Shen Qian Ling asked.

“Nine times out of ten, it’s for Xiao Wu.” Qin Shao Yu said, “I haven’t even looked for him yet, but he came to the door himself.”

“Then I’ll go too.” Shen Qian Ling wiped his hands.

“You’ll know when you see him.” Qin Shao Yu jumped off the roof with him in his arms, “He’s so ugly he can’t even look at me.”

As soon as the words left his mouth, Duan Bai Yue pushed the door and came in, “Who is Master Qin talking about?”

Shen Qian Ling wisely said, “A distant cousin whom I have never met.”

Qin Shao Yu poked him on the waist behind him – don’t acknowledge cousins without permission.

Shen Qian Ling looked at him bitterly, I’m doing this for you, okay? Do you dare to poke me a little harder?

Duan Bai Yue looked at the two with interest, “Master Qin and Shen Gongzi are really in love as written in the book.”

Shen Qian Ling almost choked on his saliva, why is that kind of street pornography so widely circulated, it’s not natural!

“Thank you.” Qin Shao Yu smiled, “Xi Nan King wants to see me for something?”

Duan Bai Yue nodded, “Can we talk inside?”

“Of course.” Qin Shao Yu sidled out of the way.

“Chirp!” The fur ball crouched on the threshold with a very dominant look in its eyes!

Duan Bai Yue bent down to look at it, “Is this the little thing you’ve raised?”

The dark guards were collectively displeased on the roof, How can you say something small, this is my young palace master!

Very noble!

“Good boy.” Shen Qian Ling picked it up.

“Chirp!” The little phoenix gave a wild shake of its head, feeling so powerful!

Duan Bai Yue was amused and took out a small jade peanut from his bosom, which was red, green, and translucent, very beautiful.

The fur ball immediately showed a longing expression in its eyes and stepped on the right paw with its left paw.

Shen Qian Ling was almost speechless and decided to hand the ball over to the dark guards – you can’t ask for other people’s things.

“Chirp!” The ball of fur expressed its sadness with its eyes.

Duan Bai Yue smiled and shook his head, putting the little peanut back.

The dark guard in his heart angrily rebuked Xi Nan, if you can’t give it away, then don’t take it out, shouldn’t it be mandatory to give it to my young palace master, really very annoying!

The fur ball was weak and limp, paralyzed in the palm of the dark guard’s hand.

This broken bird life ……

The secret guards were so distressed that they even wanted to give Duan Bai Yue’s tea with bada beans, but in the end, they gave up. It wasn’t because of his conscience, nor was it because he was afraid of being punished by Qin Shao Yu, but because he thought what if Shen Gongzi drank it by mistake, knowing that Madam was as smart and clever as the young palace master?

“Ah-choo.” Shen Qian Ling sneezed in the room.

“Did you catch a cold?” Qin Shao Yu frowned.

“No.” Shen Qian Ling rubbed his nose, “There are little bugs.”

Qin Shao Yu poured him a cup of hot tea before he looked at Duan Bai Yue and said, “What does Xi Nan King want from me?”

Duan Bai Yue said as expected, “For my brother.”

“Xiao Wu?” Qin Shao Yu raised his eyebrows.

Duan Bai Yue nodded his head, “I want to take him away this time.”

“Where is he now?” Qin Shao Yu asked.

“Naturally, he is where he should be.” Duan Bai Yue said, “He left home in anger at first, now it’s time for him to come back.”

“I want to see him.” Qin Shao Yu said.

“What do you want to see him for?” Duan Bai Yue’s tone was slightly cold, “I only came to say hello to you, I didn’t intend to ask your advice, let alone let you see him.”

“He is still a member of my Shadow Chasing Palace.” Qin Shao Yu locked eyes with him.

“So what?” Duan Bai Yue said coldly, “Even if he is loyal to you, can he be more loyal to you than flesh and blood?”

“Naturally not.” Qin Shao Yu was quick to shake his head, “Fine, then Xiao Wu is at your disposal, but return Hua Tang to me.”

Shen Qian Ling mentally gave his man a yes.

Good point!

Duan Bai Yue frowned slightly.

“She is the left protector of my Shadow Chasing Palace.” Qin Shao Yu reminded him, “You and I have no grudge against each other, so there is no reason to withhold someone from me.”

“She and Xiao Wu-“

“She and Xiao Wu are not yet married. Even if they are interested in each other, I still strongly disagree with her marrying Xiao Wu.” Qin Shao Yu rubbed his chin, “I’m already at a disadvantage by returning Xiao Wu to you, so there’s no reason to add another Protector to the mix. The fact that Ling-er and Hua Tang are like sisters …… and brothers, if we never see each other again in the future, then what am I going to do?”

Shen Qian Ling made a sad expression on his face, and then in his heart, he raised his little middle finger like crazy!

Why do we have to pause between sister and brother when we can talk properly? Don’t tell me you were going to talk about sisters! If that’s the case then I’ll be divorced in a minute! This is very annoying!

Duan Bai Yue put his empty cup of tea on the table and didn’t say anything.

“Within three days, please ask Xi Nan King to send Hua Tang back to the Li Mansion.” Qin Shao Yu said, “Otherwise, I’m afraid it will be a bad time.”

“You threaten me?” Duan Bai Yue laughed coldly.

“How can I call it a threat?” The corner of Qin Shao Yu’s mouth lifted, “You detained the Left Protector of the Shadow Chasing Palace for no reason, so I naturally have to pursue the matter to the end, and even if this matter gets out, no one will think that Xi Nan King has a point. At this juncture, I’m sure you don’t want to make any more mistakes, so within three days, I must see Hua Tang.”

The atmosphere inside the house was a little strained, and the fur ball stood on the windowsill, just about to chirp a little when the dark guard pinched its mouth and carried it back to the roof at speed.

“If there is nothing else, Ling-er will rest.” Qin Shao Yu said, “Goodbye.”

“I will give you an answer in three days.” Duan Bai Yue dropped a sentence with a cold face, turned around, and left the door.

“Chirp!” The fur ball squatted on the roof, looking at Duan Bai Yue’s back with a very sad look.

Is he going to leave like this?

Inside the house, Shen Qian Ling looked at Qin Shao Yu with worry, “Are you sure he will listen to you?”

“I don’t care if he listens.” Qin Shao Yu said, “It’s good to give him something to worry about.”

Shen Qian Ling: ……

“If my estimation is correct, Hua Tang should be willing to come back.” Qin Shao Yu said, “After explaining some things to her, we will leave for the South China Sea, as for Xiao Wu, let Duan Bai Yue raise him for a few more months.”

Shen Qian Ling frowned, “Will the left protector be willing to separate from Xiao Wu?”

“It’s just for a short time.” Qin Shao Yu said, “If it were another girl, maybe not, but according to Hua Tang’s nature, she would know what I think.”

“Duan Bai Yue is very annoying.” Shen Qian Ling was furious.

“Indeed.” Qin Shao Yu nodded his head, “And very ugly.”

Shen Qian Ling: ……

You should not keep attacking other people’s looks. Although Xi Nan King is annoying, in all fairness, you two are not much different in terms of handsomeness.

So this is very childish!

“But there’s still one good thing about it.” Qin Shao Yu said.

Shen Qian Ling was surprised, how can you still think he has an advantage based on how careful you are?

“It’s good for our son.” Qin Shao Yu fished out a jade peanut from behind the tea bowl.

“The one just now?” Shen Qian Ling was shocked, “When did you steal it?”

Qin Shao Yu’s expression was complicated, “He left it behind himself.”

“……” Shen Xiao Shou looked at him with suspicion.

“What kind of expression is that.” Qin Shao Yu was dumbfounded, “Do you think I often steal from others?”

That’s not accurate, you stole the Xueli. Shen Qian Ling grunted.

Then he was punitively pinched in the stomach.

“Don’t pinch!” Shen Xiao Shou covered his clothes and blew up.

Qin Shao Yu dragged him into his arms and kissed him with his tongue for five minutes before he went out to coax his son with the jade peanuts.

Shen Qian Ling sat dazed on a chair, slightly angry in his heart.

Why do you have to touch him everywhere? It was just plain evil.

After Duan Bai Yue left, he did not go back to his place, but secretly left his house and went to a small village outside the city by horseback.

“King Duan.” In a farmhouse, an old man was sweeping the floor.

“How is it?” Duan Bai Yue asked as he walked inside.

“Everything is, as usual, nothing out of the ordinary.” The old man opened the door to the secret passage for him.

Duan Bai Yue jumped down, first through a very narrow passage, and then into a bottomless underground pit. There was a rope at the side, and Duan Bai Yue leapt with the other end in his hands. After a short walk through the dark tunnel, there was a lush forest of trees, and two dozen guards in black clothes were guarding a hut with swords, apparently under very tight security.

This place was originally used by Duan’s ancestors to hide from the world, so it was extremely secluded and therefore very difficult for ordinary people to find.

“King Duan.” The crowd saluted one after another.

Duan Bai Yue nodded and pushed the door into the courtyard.

Xiao Wu and Hua Tang were chatting in the courtyard, pretending not to see him enter.

“How’s your health?” Duan Bai Yue used his hand to test the temperature of his forehead.

“To kidnap your brother with poison, no one else could do such a thing but you.” Xiao Wu knocked his hand away, “Unless you’re here to let us go back, I don’t want to talk to you.”

Duan Bai Yue didn’t mind his bad attitude and poured himself a cup of tea as he sat across the table, “I went to see Qin Shao Yu today.”

Xiao Wu frowned at this, “What did you want to see the palace master for?”

“Naturally, I wanted to tell him that I want to take you home.” Duan Bai Yue said.

“You go back alone.” Xiao Wu was impatient.

Hua Tang shook his hand to comfort him and then looked up at Duan Bai Yue, “What did the palace master say?”

“He agreed that I should take Xiao Wu away.” Duan Bai Yue said, “But he wants to put you back.”

Xiao Wu froze and turned her head to look at Hua Tang.

“Why don’t you two get married?” Duan Bai Yue spoke with astonishment.

Xiao Wu: ……

Hua Tang: ……

“There’s no reason for me to hold you back.” Duan Bai Yue looked at Hua Tang, “If you want to leave, you can do so at any time.”

Hua Tang frowned slightly.

“But if you are willing to marry my brother now, then you can stay in name only.” Duan Bai Yue raised his eyebrows, “I know that you and Xiao Wu have already decided to be married for life, so you might want to consider my suggestion.”

“I won’t let her marry me in such a muddled manner!” Zhao Wu glared at Duan Bai Yue, how could he condemn her to such a fate before a match was made?

“Either you get married or you go back to the Shadow Chasing Palace.” Duan Bai Yue poured a cup of tea, “I don’t want to get into trouble with Qin Shao Yu, nor do I want the people of this Xi Nan to say that I robbed someone for no reason.”

[tN: Duan Bai Yue doesn’t want trouble with Qian Shao Yu because of Chu Yuan. That is why Duan Bai Yue confirmed Chu Yaun in the last chapter.]

“So after all, you’re still doing it for your reputation.” Xiao Wu was furious, “When will you ever stop being so selfish, ever since you were a child!”

“Think about my suggestion.” Duan Bai Yue stood up and walked out, “Three days, I don’t have the patience to wait too long.”

“You–” Xiao Wu wanted to say something else, but was stopped by Hua Tang with a look.

The bamboo door creaked shut, and Hua Tang patted him on the chest, “You usually look so stable, why are you so grumpy this time.”

“I ran away from home because I didn’t want to see him, it was annoying.” Xiao Wu huffed, “If he hadn’t poisoned me shamelessly this time, how could I have been brought here by him and dragged you into it?”

“Not really.” Hua Tang smiled, “I have nothing to do in the beautiful mountains, and I eat and drink and watch the clouds every day, which is even more comfortable than in the Shadow Chasing Palace.”

Xiao Wu smiled helplessly and reached out to pinch her cheek, “I know you want to go.”

“I want to go with you.” Hua Tang said, “Next time, don’t be so aggressive, if you provoke your brother, it won’t do us any good.”

“From the looks of things, he’s probably not going to let me go back.” Xiao Wu was bored.

” He can’t lock you up for life.” Hua Tang gave him a squeeze on his shoulder, “The future is long, if you want to, there is a chance you can go back.”

“If the palace master wants you to go back, he must have a purpose.” Zhao Wu held her hand, “Or else you can go back first?”

“Hmm.” Hua Tang nodded, “I will come back to you when things are settled.”

“I don’t need you to find me.” Zhao Wu was still furious, “I’ll kill myself when I regain my martial arts skills.”

Hua Tang laughed and leaned on his shoulder to watch the sunset.

The day was supposed to be the tri-monthly bazaar of the village, where people from all over the country would come to barter for what they needed.

People from all over the country came, but they all went to the market empty-handed, and instead of going to the market, they all stood outside the gate of the Li residence.

It was the last day of the competition, and there was no telling who would win.

Although they couldn’t enter the competition, it was good to simply stand at the entrance to get a feel for it, and maybe they could even meet Shen Gongzi.

It was something to look forward to.

“Chirp!” The fur ball opened its wings and burst out of the gate with joy, like a small cannonball.

The people were shocked, but before they could react, a few guards followed them out, hugged the little phoenix, and ran back, as fast as the wind!

After a few moments, the people finally came back to their senses and the entrance burst into applause.

Although they didn’t know what was going on, it seemed like a big deal. The legendary little phoenix was something.

It was scary.

“Chirp!” The fur ball was not happy with the attempted escape and kicked his paws.

The dark guards are in agony, the young palace master has been getting more and more naughty lately and is running faster and faster, making him very, very difficult to lead!

What if he learns how to fly in the future? The image of him crashing into the sky is a headache.

“Gongzi.” The dark guard handed the little phoenix to Shen Qian Ling’s arms.

“Give it to me.” Ye Jin reached out, “You guys go watch the tournament, and I’ll take it for a stroll outside the city.”

“You go along too.” Qin Shao Yu said.

“Me?” Ye Jin frowned, “I’m not interested in martial arts.”

“No one will be interested.” Qin Shao Yu said, “But you are proficient in medicine, so in case Qian Fan gets beaten up by Duan Bai Yue, you can still cure him.”

Shen Qian Fan had mixed feelings in his heart, “What do you mean I’ll get beaten up?”

“Although we both know it’s an act, Duan Bai Yue and the emperor have always had a complicated relationship, according to his carefulness, he can take it out on you.” Qin Shao Yu thought for a moment and added, “And he’s also so ugly.”

Shen Qian Ling: ……

“Gentlemen.” The butler said respectfully at the door, “My family’s old master asked me to come and inform you all that the competition is about to begin.”

“Let’s go.” Qin Shao Yu said, “Let’s go and watch the hustle and bustle.”

“Chirp!” The fur ball’s little black bean eyes were also very bright, and it even stretched its short wings out straight!

Shen Qian Ling poked its belly, and now it looked quite like father and son.

They were just as scared of the world.

Although a lot of people had already been beaten in the marriage competition two days ago, the number of people at the scene continued to grow, even with people squatting on the trees, which looked like a large kiwi tree from afar.

Shen Qian Ling lamented in his heart that there were a lot of nosy people these days.

The highlight of the competition was undoubtedly Shen Qian Fan and Duan Bai Yue, so when the crowd saw the group enter the courtyard, they all boiled over unexpectedly.

“Duan Bai Yue is not here yet.” After sitting down, Shen Qian Ling whispered to his third brother, “You’ve been outnumbered.” Because everyone in the entertainment industry knows that big names are always the last to arrive.

Shen Qian Fan: ……

Qin Shao Yu smiled and squeezed his hand, his wife is really attractive.

After a drum roll, Du Zheng came out to salute the crowd as usual, while Shen Qian Ling sat in the front row and fed the hairy ball a melon seed.

The servants around him began to admire the simplicity of Shen Gongzi, who did not even look at the first beauty but had his heart and eyes set on Lord Qin and the young master of the palace.

It was no wonder that the Heavenly Emperor had let Shen Gongzi descend to earth.

After a few rounds of competition, Ye Jin began to yawn, so the fur ball yawned with him.

“How many more people are left?” Shen Qian Ling asked in a low voice.

“Sleepy?” Shen Qian Fan pinched his nose.

“A little.” Shen Qian Ling said honestly.

“Then let’s have a quick battle.” Shen Qian Fan stood up and leapt onto the stage.

The crowd was stunned for a moment, and then burst into applause!

Qin Shao Yu smiled and shook his head, whispering in Shen Qian Ling’s ear, “Little troublemaker.”

“Me?” Shen Qian Ling was baffled, “What’s wrong?”

“Marriage or not is the least of it, do you know how long these people have been waiting for the chance to see him perform his martial arts?” Qin Shao Yu said, “If it was a sparring match between someone of his level, there would be something to look forward to, but now that Qian Fan is on stage, who else would dare to go up but Duan Bai Yue?”

The two people who had been fighting in full swing on the stage, upon seeing Shen Qian Fan, both voluntarily gave up and slinked off the stage, their eyes very much unfulfilled.

Shen Qian Ling: ……

Brother, I didn’t mean it.

“No one dares to come?” Shen Qian Fan lost his smile on stage, “A few years ago I fell in love with Miss Du at first sight in Qinhuai, now it seems that God wants me to marry her.”

Shen Qian Ling tsked from the stage, his brother was also an actor.

“May I ask if anyone is coming to meet the fight?” Li Tieji asked loudly from the sidelines, “If no one comes on stage, then my daughter will–“

Before he could finish his sentence, a figure leapt off the roof and landed firmly on the stage.

Li Tieji was relieved to see that there was no movement and almost thought that he had changed his mind.

The crowd at the bottom was in an uproar, the rumour that Duan Bai Yue was coming for a marriage contest had been a big hit these days, even with a story that “Xi Nan King happened to go to the Qinhuai Boat a few years ago and had a touching love affair with Du Zheng”, very touching! But the rumour was true but no one had confirmed it, so everyone was unsure.

A hero and a beauty are naturally a good story, but if the beauty and the two heroes are entangled, then it turns from a good story into a drama and is worth gossiping about!

“It’s just a pity about Du Zheng.” Qin Shao Yu shook his head, “Although she was a singer, she was still a clean woman, but now she’s been rumoured to be such a bad person for the sake of being the spark of war.”

“Then what should we do in the future?” Shen Qian Ling looked at him, “You promised Xie Wenhan that you would make her and Du Zheng work.”

“If everything goes well, it won’t be difficult to ask Duan Bai Yue to get her after things settle down.” Qin Shao Yu said, “Then the two of them can go to a small village incognito and live out the rest of their lives in peace.”

“If she was more ordinary looking, she wouldn’t have gotten into so much trouble.” Shen Qian Ling sympathized with Du Zheng.

“Everyone has their destiny, and there is no way to blame heaven and earth.” Qin Shao Yu said, “Not everyone is like you, you are good-looking and have a good fate.”

Shen Qian Ling smiled, “Yes, I have a good fate.” I may have been bad, but after I met you, everything became good, even if I had a strange poison that I couldn’t solve, it was still good and good.

“I love to see you smile like that.” Qin Shao Yu’s gaze was gentle, “It’s so clean, it makes you feel better.”

“Cough, cough!” Ye Jin coughed on the side. The maids and servants who were peeking around the room and the gossiping disciples of various sects all felt sorry for them, although they couldn’t hear what the two were saying, it would have been nice to have a glimpse of them looking at each other with affection.

Master Ye is very nosy!

Qin Shao Yu also gave Ye Jin a dissatisfied look.

Master Ye looked at him with a very indignant look, “Qian Fan has already started the match, so you should at least take a look.”

The fur ball also lazily raised its paws and silently pointed ahead.

Shen Qian Ling: ……

Anyone with a little experience in the martial arts world knows that Shen Qian Fan and Duan Bai Yue are on par with each other in terms of martial arts skills. Therefore, although Shen Qian Fan wanted to give a break to end the battle, he still ended up being very dedicated to fighting with him for a hundred or so moves before pretending to be defeated and being slapped out of the ring by him.

The crowd immediately shouted in surprise and rallied around him.

Qin Shao Yu took Shen Qian Ling and Ye Jin with him and walked over to him.

Shen Qian Fan was lying on the ground, his left hand covering his chest, spitting out a mouthful of blood, obviously badly injured.

The crowd was shocked. They had known that Xi Nan King’s palm was poisoned, so if he had hit his mouth like that, it would have been a big deal.
