Zhutian: My skills are not serious

Chapter 331 Li Qiushui: You want to take me in too?

Chu Pingsheng laughed and twisted his Buddhist beads lightly: "Disciple, you are so easy to deceive."

"Why did Master say this?"

"By the way, the mother of Miss Wang from Mantuo Villa outside Gusu City is also the daughter of Li Qiushui. Before I went to Dali, I had a feud with her and threatened to kill her. When you came to Jiangnan from Dali, you happened to meet the people from Xixia Yipintang who were on a diplomatic mission to Song Dynasty. Did you see Helian Tieshu paying attention to Li Qingluo and her daughter? Did you hear Li Qiushui mention the matter between me and your master's wife in Lingjiu Palace yesterday?"

The nerd scratched his head: "Yeah, she doesn't seem to know anything about Mrs. Wang's recent situation."

Only after he said this did he come to his senses.

"Master, do you mean... that Master Uncle is deliberately not seeing us?"

"Of course."

"But yesterday... we clearly agreed on this."

"The drug took effect, and her face returned to its original state. We are the ones who are eager to take advantage of it, not her. So she will have to find a way to take advantage of us. Although I helped her and Wu Xingyun to recognize the facts and resolve their grievances, it does not mean that she will be grateful. After all, the two have been fighting for so many years, and the resentment and hatred cannot be eliminated in one day. No one helped her when Wu Xingyun was hunting him down before, and now it is her turn to hunt down Wu Xingyun, but I intervened and ruined her good fortune. With Li Qiushui's vengeful character, she will definitely make me suffer this time."

"Ah? She...she's going to break the contract? She's not going to teach you the White Rainbow Palm Power anymore?"

"Well, my dear disciple, you are not that stupid yet, which makes me feel relieved."

"But Master, you are obviously the head of the Xiaoyao Sect..."

"What's wrong with the leader of Xiaoyao Sect? She is also the Queen Mother of Xixia. Back then, she teamed up with Ding Chunqiu and severely injured Wuyazi. Instead of living in a good place like Jiangnan, she came to Xixia to be a princess. Wasn't it because she was worried that Wu Xingyun would retaliate against her and wanted to use the power of the court to contain Lingjiu Palace? Can a person like her be restrained by a symbolic leader ring? How is it possible! Yesterday on Piaomiao Peak, she just knew that she was no match for me and thought that things had come to this point. Instead of riding a tiger and continuing the stalemate, it would be better for her to verbally acknowledge my identity as the leader of Xiaoyao Sect, pretend to be nice to me, take the benefits and leave, and take the opportunity to disgust me once."

"what?"

Duan Yu couldn't understand. After all, Li Qiushui was a senior master who was nearly ninety years old. How could she do such a thing? It was too cheap.

"Then Master...are we going back to Lingjiu Palace or Xiaojing Lake next?"

"Don't even go."

"Where to go?"

"Xingqing Prefecture."

"Hey, isn't that the capital of Xixia?" Duan Yu couldn't figure it out: "Didn't you just reject Helian Tieshu's invitation?"

Chu Pingsheng stopped, turned sideways, and smiled like a thin Maitreya in the busy city: "Master, have you ever done a business that lost money?"

Duan Yu shook his head violently.

"Well, how can I let Li Qiushui destroy my master's reputation? Not only do I want her to hand over the White Rainbow Palm Skill, but I also want her to obey my orders from now on. She dare not disobey."

"Master... that's the capital of Xixia! Her people are everywhere."

"My dear disciple, I am a high-ranking monk. When making deals with female donors, I am best at persuasion. Moreover, she is my senior sister. Using force is really the worst option, the worst option..."

After Chu Pingsheng finished speaking, he swung his sleeves lightly, and the child next to him who was almost hit by the corner of the carriage moved sideways half an foot, but the soft and chewy jelly in the small plate in his hand was not so lucky, and fell to the ground and broke into a lump.

"Wow...my jelly, monk...monk bullies people."

A cry rose to the sky and people on the street glared at each other.

Duan Yu was shocked and rushed forward to comfort him: "Little brother, don't cry, I will buy you another one, okay?"

……

a few days later.

Xingqing Prefecture, the Western Xia Imperial Palace.

The evening breeze was cool, brushing across the water, rippling the shallow blue water. The palace lanterns hung high in the small building to the west, competing with the moon for brilliance. The white gauze curtains on the window were too cold to withstand the cool night, and a slight shake would shatter the brilliance on the ground. Li Qiushui rested her head on her wrist, wearing a loose silk dress and lying on the ice jade bed that exuded bursts of coldness. The white bed curtains and long gown matched, like a double-petaled white lily, and she, who had recovered her appearance, was the most beautiful and attractive silk core in the heart of the flower.

The corners of her mouth were slightly raised and she was sleeping soundly.

Standing near the door were two little girls, about sixteen or seventeen years old, dressed in plain white gowns, with their hands hanging down, standing quietly.

Perhaps it was because of the dim night or their trance, but as a fragrant breeze blew in, the two palace maids tilted their heads and fell to the ground, followed by a monk's shoe stepping on the luxurious and soft carpet.

The wind blew down the palace maid at the door, but woke up Li Qiu Shui who was lying on the icy jade bed. She couldn't help but frown and opened her eyes. She saw a monk walking towards them step by step, his forehead reflecting the light of a palace lantern, wearing a gray monk's robe and holding a bouquet of freshly picked flowers in his hand.

Empty monk?!
She was startled and all sleepiness disappeared immediately. She fluttered her long sleeves, moved her waist slightly, and got off the icy jade bed. She looked at the uninvited junior brother with a wary face.

"I see that Senior Sister's face is smooth and delicate, and beautiful. It is really a cause for celebration. I came from Suzhou and didn't prepare any gifts. Just now when I passed by the Imperial Garden, I saw the hibiscus flowers in full bloom, more brilliant than the stars, so I picked a few as souvenirs. I hope Senior Sister won't despise my shabby appearance."

As Chu Pingsheng spoke, he walked to the square table on the right, put the flowers into the jade vase with a soft and lustrous luster, and carefully fiddled with them a few times, making the bunch of hibiscus more staggered and more fragrant.

Appreciating beauty and flowers and giving gifts to beautiful women is obviously a very elegant and interesting thing. However, when it is done by a monk, the scene... gives people an uncomfortable feeling of tearing.

"Junior brother, you came to Xingqing Mansion, why didn't you send someone to inform me? You broke into the palace in the middle of the night. I thought the enemy was attacking. My heart was about to jump out of my chest."

Li Qiushui pretended to be relaxed and said in a somewhat ambiguous tone: "Don't mention it, your medicine is really useful. I applied it for two or three days, and the scars disappeared. My face is as smooth as if it has never been hurt. Do you know how the imperial doctors in the palace praised it? The immortals are magical, and the world is truly spiritual. Alas, I was worried about the emperor's health that day, and returned to the capital overnight, so I didn't thank you in time. Junior brother, you won't blame you for being impolite, right?"

"Amitabha, how could that be." Chu Pingsheng smiled and said, "Senior sister is the Royal Concubine, honorable and noble, busy with harem affairs, how can a commoner like me compare to her."

"Junior brother, no wonder the senior sister likes you, you are so sweet. If you grow your hair and return to secular life, you will surely fascinate thousands of girls." Li Qiushui said with a sweet smile: "If you were born a few decades later, I, the senior sister, would also be overwhelmed by your charm."

"Haha, I remember Senior Sister didn't say that when she was in Lingjiu Palace."

"Who told you to pretend to be the young master of Juxian Manor when you are obviously a handsome little monk?"

Li Qiu Shui showed a look of reproach on her face and glanced at him dimly.

The ambiguity in their conversation could be smelled across the street, but Chu Pingsheng was very clear about how alert Li Qiu Shui was. She would slip away as soon as he did anything extreme.

This is the Western Xia Palace, Li Qiu Shui's lair. She knows all the various mechanisms and secret sentries, as well as the deployment of generals and military officers. If she doesn't want to fight and just wants to escape, he really doesn't have the confidence to capture her.

"Enough of the small talk, Senior Sister. You've used my medicine and the wound on your face has healed. Now it's time to fulfill the White Rainbow Palm Power you promised me, right?"

"Junior brother, there is no rush. You have just learned the Tianshan Six Yang Palm and Tianshan Plum Blossom Hand from Senior Sister. You should study them carefully for a while. Although Xingqing Prefecture is not as prosperous as Tokyo, it has its own unique scenery that is different from that of the Central Plains. You can try the kumis, snow-white cheese, and crispy Hu cakes on the grassland. When you have enough fun, Senior Sister will discuss our unique skills with you. How about it?"

Of course, Li Qiushui would not let him learn the White Rainbow Palm so easily. Not to mention going to the West to Heaven like Tang Xuanzang and experiencing 81 difficulties, it would at least take him to the level of Liu Bei visiting him three times at his cottage. Otherwise, how could she relieve the resentment in her heart?

"Thank you for your kindness, Senior Sister. Unfortunately, I still have some things to do. However, since Senior Sister has troubled you, I will come back later."

Chu Pingsheng's answer surprised her.

This guy followed her closely to Xingqing Mansion, how come she dealt with him with just a few words?

"Well, wait until the emperor's health gets better."

"In that case, please return the box of medicine to me."

"Box?"

"Yes, it's the box used to hold the ointment."

Li Qiushui thought for a moment and said, "Wait a moment, I'll go look for it."

Chu Pingsheng raised his palm and smiled: "Okay."
