Food Fairy Lord

Chapter 515: Treasure Pill
Pei Ye looked at the beautiful face of the girl with messy hair in front of him and silently rejected his previous thought.

Exploring the [Sword State] with her was by no means easy. In this short moment, his muscles, bones, true energy, and mind were all pushed to the peak in an instant. Coupled with his injuries that had not yet healed, it was as if he was dreaming back to the night after the battle with Wu Zai Gu.

What's more, Wu Zai Gu wouldn't let him imitate animal calls.

Cui Zhaoye in front of him was still blinking at him, as if he was really waiting for him to call out. Changsun Jue was more reliable. He stood up and tried to draw his sword but failed. He walked over and took Cui Zhaoye's arm and stretched it to the side.

In fact, the reason for the failure this time was very simple - they could neither see the destination they wanted to reach nor find a definite path to it. They just followed the girl's original idea and gained some experience.

And it was confirmed that the boy was indeed a very dangerous experimental subject.

Cui Zhaoye then paced in the sword field in deep thought. She always believed that remembering the feeling that the cicada bird brought to the heart was the first step towards the unknown, but the boy seemed to have some difficulty entering the state she described. The path she wanted was for the swordsman to develop his inner heart and compare the human heart with the heart of heaven, but the boy could certainly understand the true meaning, and even saw that he had the magical gift of "controlling the sword with the heart", but it seemed that he was always one step short and could not put the "heart" into the "state".

She was deep in thought and speculation, and Pei Ye naturally continued to test her new ideas, but Chang Sun Jue sat quietly further away.

To be honest, this was the first time that Pei Ye did not learn swordsmanship from others, but instead worked hard to take steps towards something unknown. However, unlike Cui Zhaoye who regarded it as a lifelong undertaking, Pei Ye regarded it as an addictive branch - he was eager to see its fresh appearance, which was different from all the swords in the world, but he would not devote his entire life to sword training.

For him, the sword also carries more and more realistic responsibilities.

Devoting oneself to exploring the unknown with like-minded people will indeed make time pass quickly. When the moon reached its zenith, Pei Ye was leaning against the wall and refused to stand up. Cui Zhaoye wrote down three full sheets of paper, but he was still staring at the boy with an unsatisfied look.

But Pei Ye would never cooperate with her again. The many inward attempts tonight were the first time that the young man looked at his own heart in such a detached way, instead of just treating it as a kind of intuition from the dark spirit.

Sometimes he thought that the traditional swordsmanship was to pursue no mistakes, no errors, and to observe every detail, and the same was true of the Sword Strategy. Although Miss Cui used her heart to control the sword and was not afraid of making mistakes, she was probably ultimately pursuing a certain extreme that a person could burst out. However, both directions were for the purpose of winning in the battle, so there was not much difference, I guess.

Aren’t he and Miss Ming good friends who can talk about anything... a lot of things?
Yang Zhenbing put away his sword and stood aside waiting for Pei Yeluo to come back with a sweat. Changsun Jue had clapped his hands many times tonight and sat aside with his hands in his sleeves.

"The phantom note was handed to me three days ago." Cui Zhaoye put away the scriptures, leaned gently against the tree, and finally talked about what Xu Chuo had entrusted to him. "Since Young Master Pei wants to go, I will ask them to prepare two doses of phantom medicine when I reply to the note tomorrow."

"What name or identity should I use?" The young man said seriously, "I can ask Jingzhao Prefecture to prepare in advance."

Cui Zhaoye was slightly startled, then turned his eyes away: "Young Master Pei, how about you become my attendant book boy..."

Chang Sun Jue asked curiously, "Ah? Why do you need a fake identity?"

Cui Zhaoye glanced at her.

Pei Ye was stunned and looked at Cui Zhaoye: "Don't you need a fake identity?"

"...Of course you can." Cui Zhaoye smiled, "The Huanlou is not a dangerous place. Young Master Pei was listed in the Chang'an Sword Affairs a few days ago. With my recommendation, it is okay to enter the building with the name 'Pei Ye'."

"…Forgive my limited knowledge, but does Miss Cui often go to Huanlou? What exactly is that place?"

"About two or three invitations are submitted every month, and I will occasionally choose one to take a look." Cui Zhaoye tapped his chin lightly, "If Mr. Pei doesn't like it..."

"No, no! I mean, I don't know anything about it."

Cui Zhaoye smiled: "In the two years I have been in Beijing, this is indeed the most beautiful place I have ever seen. If I have to describe it, the word 'feast' can probably summarize it. I think the people behind it are either from noble families or dukes, and I have never inquired about them." "I wonder who are the people who went to the banquet in the Fantasy Tower?"

"Young masters, nobles...romantic figures?" Cui Zhaoye said with a smile, "In short, many people with great reputations or those who are rarely seen in normal days can be seen there. There are also many things to play with. They said that a banquet will be held in four days, and then Young Master Pei can go with me to see it."

"Okay, thank you Miss Cui for your trouble."

"Even if it wasn't Young Master Pei, there's no reason for me to disobey Master Xu's words." Cui Zhaoye smiled, "Besides, it's my great honor to be able to attend the banquet with Young Master Pei."

"..."

The girl's eyes were too sincere, and Pei Ye didn't know what to say for a moment. But Chang Sun Jue raised his hand hesitantly at this time: "Zhao Ye, I want to go too, can I?"

Cui Zhaoye looked at her and said, "You should ask your brother, your father, and your grandfather."

"..." Changsun Jue held her chin and sighed softly, her face showing the sorrow of a girl with strict upbringing, "Alas, today I lied to them and said I was staying in the Imperial College, so I could stay here so late."

"I'm not lying. Let's go back to the Imperial College now." Cui Zhaoye pulled her up with a smile, tilted his head and pondered, "Unless Young Master Pei is willing to vacate a bedroom for us..."

"Ah?" Pei Ye was stunned.

Chang Sun Jue's eyes widened, and he quickly waved his hand at the boy: "No, no, she was just joking."

"..." Pei Ye was still not used to the way the girl from Shenjing joked.

He thoughtfully sent the two back to the carriage. Before they parted, Cui Zhaoye took out a jade box from the carriage and handed it to Pei Ye with a serious smile.

"Young Master Pei, people say seeing a sword is like seeing a person. I wanted to make friends with you because I saw the sword of Xichi. Today I finally got to meet you, but you are a person..."

"I'm sorry to disappoint Miss Cui." Pei Ye smiled, "My swordsmanship is not that great, and my personality is even more ordinary."

Cui Zhaoye laughed: "'Fairly ordinary', do you think you are extraordinary, Master Pei?"

"..." Pei Ye had just learned some self-deprecating tricks recently, but she took advantage of him and said thoughtfully, "I am still... smarter."

Cui Zhaoye was overjoyed, and he finished his words seriously: "Your character makes me admire you even more."

"..."

She pointed at the jade box and said with a smile, "This is the gift I prepared for you, young man. It is a second-level pulse-drawing pill. Master Xu said you are not afraid of strong medicines, but you still have to remember to take it in divided doses."

"This is too expensive!" Pei Ye widened his eyes.
