My Taoist buddy has practiced surrogacy

Chapter 239 Be Careful
"Of course it's us maids. Think about it. They've practiced for a long time and it's naturally boring. And this courtyard is a forbidden place, and it's not easy for people to come in. Besides telling us a few words of heart, who else can we talk to?" Said, once you come and go, you will be familiar with it." Xing Lingling's face is full of seriousness, serious, if Zhou Xing does not believe it, she may swear to the sky.

"It makes sense, but why are you so sure that I'm here to apprentice?" Zhou Xing looked at her slyly and said with a smile.

"Aren't you here to learn from the teacher? Could it be that the master here is not good?" Xing Lingling sneered, but Zhou Xing smiled like an old fox, and didn't answer, just looked at her like that, and looked at Zhou Xing's smile, Xing Lingling felt more and more that something was wrong.

"Are you really the owner of this place?" Xing Lingling said anxiously.

"It seems so, at least the sword behind you is mine." Zhou Xing said seriously.

"Ah." There was a cry, of course it wasn't Zhou Xing's cry, nor was it her horrified cry, but a cry of pain. This guy is indeed a ghost, and he reacted instantly, slippery and wanting to slip away. Go out, but who is Zhou Xing, how can he let this little girl slip away in front of him, stretch out one hand and grab her hair, causing her to suffer unceasingly.

"Girl, tell me who you are, don't try to hide it from me, what will happen to you if I take you out to Luo Ziyang?" Zhou Xing pulled Xing Lingling back like a chicken, and When Luo Ziyang was mentioned, a look of fear finally appeared in Xing Lingling's eyes. Luo Ziyang was none other than the owner of the Xingchen Pavilion. Although he seldom left the Xingchen Pavilion, this Xingchen Pavilion was a place to cultivate talents for the Canglan Kingdom. The status of the pavilion master can be imagined. Even Yang Ye, who is now in power, would respectfully address him as a teacher when he saw this pavilion master. All civil and military courts respected him very much, even Xing Tianyuan, and Luo Ziyang is a very strict person, if he finds out that she sneaked into the shrine hall, even if she is not executed, she will definitely be expelled from school. Once she is expelled, it is hard to say how her father will deal with her.

"Just say it, my name is Xing Lingling." Xing Lingling said with aggrieved lips.

"Xing Lingling, the eyes are like a bell, isn't it Xing Tianyuan's daughter?" Zhou Xing recognized her as the daughter of an old friend at once. He was watching from behind just now. She wasn't angry at all, thinking about it now, maybe it was because she was Xing Tianyuan's daughter, otherwise if it was someone else, she would have died under Bai Yu's sword at this moment.

"You know my father?" Xing Lingling said with staring eyes, but she was very surprised in her heart, she didn't expect that the big man who lived here knew her father.

"I have known you before, but you are not as stupid as your father, nor as scheming as your mother, which surprised me." Although she is the daughter of an old friend, Zhou Xing has a bad impression of these old friends, especially Xing Lingling's. He didn't have any affection for that mother, but this little girl was lovely.

"My father is not stupid, but your father is." Xing Lingling couldn't bear hearing others scolding her father. Although Zhou Xing was probably her elder, her father was the hero in her mind. She would never allow others to say a bad word about him.

"You are quite protective, but it's a pity that he married your mother." Zhou Xing didn't like Xing Lingling's mother, because she was a very scheming woman, and that woman didn't like Xing Tianyuan. Xing Tianyuan also understood this. But he still married this woman, which is stupid for Zhou Xing.

"Why do you say that about my mother?"

Xing Lingling clenched her small fists tightly, even if the man in front of her was a person in the hall of worship, she could still get angry at him just because of what he said to her mother, indeed her mother and father always quarreled when they met at home, and Xing Tianyuan usually lives in the army and rarely returns home, and whenever Xing Tianyuan returns home, he will have a quarrel with his mother, and it is not an ordinary quarrel, as if the two are not husband and wife, but enemies. Of course, others don't know about this kind of thing. The noble ladies in the imperial capital are all gossips. Of course, she would not tell them about the situation at home, and her mother rarely mentioned the situation at home outside. When Xing mentioned her mother, she couldn't help but feel a surge of anger in her heart. This anger was not only the anger towards Zhou Xing, but also some inexplicable emotions, which came from the repressed situation in that family.

"Forget it, it's all the grievances of the previous generation, you don't need to know, go back, if someone finds out that you came here, even if your father is already powerful, he can't keep you." Of course Zhou Xing would not really follow a The little girl cares about it, but this little girl entered his life, causing a strange change in his peaceful life for the past ten years, and this change is common to others, but it is very rare in Zhou Xing, because Zhou Xing used to be a person who was indifferent to everything. Except for the three-foot long sword in his hand, nothing could cause a ripple in his heart, but now Zhou Xing seemed to have a little more humanity.

"Who are you? I'm going to ask my father if he knows you." Originally, she slipped into the offering hall out of curiosity, but when she heard Zhou Xing's evaluation of her parents, she was completely curious about the offering. , now she is only angry, she must go back and ask if her parents really know such a person as him.

"My name is Zhou Xing, but your parents don't know this name. If you tell your father this sentence, Zhou Zhou is innocent in the world after the rain, and the word Zhou Xing comes from here. He must know who I am." Zhou Xing thought in his heart. On the contrary, I am a little curious about how the commander-in-chief will feel when he knows that he has returned to the imperial capital and lived in the hall of worship.

Xing Lingling's bell-like eyeballs were wide open, as if fire was about to burst out of her eyes. Of course, a large part of the anger in her heart was not directed at Zhou Xing, but dissatisfaction with her parents. Mentioning Zhou Xing about her parents aroused dissatisfaction in her heart, making her a ball that was about to explode, but Zhou Xing didn't care if a girl's film exploded on the spot, because even if she exploded on the spot, Zhou Xing could control the situation , and he and Xing Tianyuan are not polite, although they used to be friends, but this is already a thing of the past, and now they are not friends anymore.

"I will ask." Xing Lingling finally said this sentence stubbornly, her eyes seemed to say that you are waiting, and she walked out of the worship hall with a resentful face, forgetting all the prohibitions of Xingchen Pavilion in her heart , and also forgot that if she was discovered, her fate must be very miserable, but she was not discovered, of course not because she was lucky, but because Zhou Xing didn't care about it. Following Xing Lingling out of the yard, an old man in white was staring at her in the distance. Xing Lingling's figure went away. This person was dressed in a white Confucian gown, with white hair and eyebrows. He had a bit of immortality in his figure. He was Luo Ziyang, the owner of Xingchen Pavilion. This Luo Ziyang was considered a legend in the imperial capital. Its strength has reached the level of Soul Condensation.

This martial arts condensing soul can be regarded as a master in the Jianghu, but now in the imperial capital, there are only three masters who have the state of condensing the soul, except for those who worship the hall, and the weakest among these three is Luo Ziyang, the strongest is undoubtedly Xing Tianyuan, the commander-in-chief. Among them, many strong men of the same realm will not be his opponents, and the other one is Yang Ye, the chief assistant of the dynasty.

This Yang Ye looks gentle and gentle, like a scholar, but his martial arts strength is not weak. He was already a strong man in the Soul Condensation Realm, and Yang Ye is a person who is extremely good at hiding. Guess whether Yang Ye's strength has surpassed that of Xing Tianyuan. Many people want to see the two of them fight in a dignified manner, but unfortunately no one can do so. After all, Yang Ye has made only a handful of shots. People who make moves are even rarer. The people in the imperial capital only roughly know that Yang Ye is a master of the Soul Condensation Realm, but no one knows what kind of realm he has reached, but he is stronger than Luo Ziyang, because Luo Ziyang has publicly admitted However, he lost half a move in the test with Yang Ye, and this was because Yang Ye gave in, if he didn't give in, he might lose even worse.

In the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion, the atmosphere on the dinner table seemed very stuffy, and a depressing atmosphere permeated the entire room. Even the maid who was standing there and serving did not dare to breathe loudly, because tonight that person could not come back several times a year. The governor of his family is back, and he is waiting for someone to come back, and that person is of course his daughter Xing Lingling, the governor of Xing Tianyuan. The whole emperor knows that when he hears his name, he will show a look of awe, but the big The governor's appearance is a little ordinary, already over fifty years old, the hair on both sides of the temples is white, and the dragon on the official uniform looks very hideous and terrifying, as if it is about to jump out and bite people, which makes the air even more It's a bit depressing.

And beside Xing Tianyuan, sat a graceful and luxurious woman, wearing a long purple dress and a full head of gold hairpins, which is enough to show that she is the wife of Xing Tianyuan. Her name is Wang Tingxue, but It came from a disciple named Tiannan Sword Sect, and Tiannan Sword Sect is not one of the famous nine sects in the Jianghu. For the imperial court, none of these nine sects can offend them. The Southern Sword Sect is just a small sect around the imperial capital. There are many such sects. They usually rely on the dignitaries in the court to survive, so they will also participate in things like seizing the throne. Every time the imperial power changes, these small sects will The sect shuffles the cards once.

"You came back so late?" Although there was no anger on Xing Tianyuan's face, seeing Xing Lingling stepping into the dining hall with a terrified expression, the temperature around him seemed to have dropped a little.

"Lingling, where have you been? What is a girl doing if she doesn't come home so late?" Wang Tingxue also frowned slightly, apparently a little dissatisfied with Xing Lingling's return tonight.

"I, I went to see an uncle." Xing Lingling said a little coyly, but he hesitated about Zhou Xing's identity in his heart, but since he was an old friend of his father, he should call him an uncle.

"Which uncle is it?" Xing Tianyuan remained sullen and didn't say anything, but Wang Tingxue's expression eased a lot. As the commander-in-chief of the army, Xing Tianyuan was not sociable, but Wang Tingxue was different. Being able to mingle with all the noble ladies in the imperial capital, and when these noble ladies gather together, in addition to showing off how good their men are, they also show off how good their sons and daughters are, and they also hope to find a matching partner. If you fancy someone else's child, of course you have to move around more, but Xing Lingling is always unwilling, so it makes her a headache, but hearing that she can actually move around today, she is naturally a little relieved.

"His name is Zhou Xing." Xing Tianyuan and Wang Tingxue frowned at the same time, because neither of them knew a person named Zhou Xing.

"After Zhou Zhou Muyu, innocence is in the world, and Zhou Xing came from here." Seeing her parents frowning, Xing Lingling quickly said that sentence. If her parents thought she went to meet a stranger, it would definitely end badly, especially I saw Xing Tianyuan's right arm on the table, the whole right arm extended to the elbow, wrapped in a silver glove, above the heavy metal feeling, there was an undetectable smell of blood, maybe it was this Too many people were killed with one hand, tainted with blood, even Xing Lingling felt apprehensive looking at her father's arm.

"Where is he?" Xing Tianyuan's face showed no unnecessary changes, as if he was just asking casually.

"Worship Hall."

"What? You entered the hall of worship?" Wang Tingxue turned pale with shock, and Xing Tianyuan frowned slowly. As a dignitary in the imperial capital, he naturally understood what the hall of worship was. It was a taboo place, and no one wanted to mention that place. .

"Xing Lingling, you are so courageous, how dare you enter the worship hall?" Wang Tingxue was furious, she slapped her palm on the table, stood up, folded her sleeves, as if preparing to clean up Xing Lingling, and Xing Lingling saw her father , can only stand there with a child who has done something wrong, not daring to move a bit, looking at his father expectantly at this time, after all, no one in this family dares to say anything to his mother except his father.

"Are you sure, what you heard is this sentence." Xing Lingling closed her eyes in fear, her mother's hand was about to grab her ear, and she would be grabbed by her mother like a chicken Turning around, she believes that only her mother can do this kind of tragic lesson. After all, her mother is from Tiannan Sword Sect, not from a famous family like those noble ladies. What she pursues is to be born under a stick. Dutiful son, so if Xing Lingling makes a mistake, a beating is inevitable, but Xing Lingling is also a prudent person. She, the more she is not afraid, but her own father, even if she just said a word, she is cautious, and following Xing Tianyuan's questioning, Wang Tingxue's hand froze in the air and did not fall.
