    Chu Jianxiong was stunned for a moment, feeling that he had made a mistake, but he felt that his proposal seemed to have moved the woman in front of him. Compared with the original faint smile, this kind of anger made him feel satisfied.  But he also knew that nothing could be done today, so he walked away with his head held high, his posture cool and calm.

    "Miss!" Qingluan looked at Caifeng worriedly.

    Caifeng waved her hands and said: "I'm fine, I'm just angry that he would even use other people's deceased fathers for his own selfish desires."

    Qingluan hesitated and said: "Master, did he really die unjustly? I know martial arts, and I can avenge the young lady."

    Caifeng said disdainfully: "He is a reckless person, what does he know? My family's affairs, at best, are destiny, at worst, it is the ups and downs of officialdom, at worst, it is death at the hands of the Holy Emperor and the Qiu King. Or there are some  He is a villain who follows the wind and adds insult to injury, but is he considered my enemy? Who does he want to seek revenge from, the current Saint or the dead King of Enmity? "

    Chu Jianxiong¡¯s face turned green when he heard this outside the house. He almost wanted to break in, but he held back.  He didn't leave immediately just now, but relied on his strong martial arts to listen to Caifeng's sense of him, but he didn't expect such a result.

    However, he cared a little more about Caifeng in his heart. This may be human nature. If Caifeng wants to follow him to the end of the world as soon as he sees him, maybe he will despise her in his heart.  At this moment, I was determined to get Caifeng.

    At this moment, I walked back to my residence in one breath. Several men immediately gathered around me, shouting like Brother Chu, Brother Chu, and Master Chu.  There were actually more than a dozen people in this ordinary residence, including men and women, monks and laymen.  They are all dominated by Chu Jianxiong.

    Chu Jianxiong went to the hall and sat on the Grand Master's chair. Seeing so many people looking at him eagerly, he waited for his orders.  The anger I received from Caifeng just now made me feel better.

    The leading figure on the green forest road in the south of the Yangtze River is Chu Jianxiong, known as the Overlord of Chu.  No one in the world knows it, no one knows it.  I have to come to Hangzhou to do a big deal these days, so I have gathered so many people, all of whom are elites on the green forest roads in the south of the Yangtze River.  "Everyone, I have inquired about the matter clearly. We are just waiting for the Lantern Festival to take action. No one is allowed to leave this door these days. Military Advisor, you are from Hangzhou, so you will have more to rely on this time."

    He gave the order loudly, and everyone agreed.  I couldn't help but feel satisfied, and I felt like "this is what a man should be like".  I just regret that Caifeng was not there to see his majesty at this moment.

    The military advisor sat in the shadows and responded in a low voice, but he was still thinking about the great feud. He took a dozen brothers down the mountain, but they were all lost in the hands of a handsome young man in Hangzhou. But later he knew that this  The young master turned out to be the nephew of the governor, so he didn't have much thought of revenge.  But for the other scholar, he hated him deeply.

    During the Lantern Festival, Xu Xian came to Xuanji Temple as promised and took Suner to watch the lantern festival.

    Of course, when I went out to enjoy the lanterns, I couldn¡¯t wear the Taoist robe anymore. I changed into ordinary clothes. Bamboo¡¯er was wearing a small yellow jacket with velvet, which was very bright and moving.  Xu Xian couldn't help but look forward to Yu Xuanji changing out of her Taoist robe that had remained unchanged for thousands of years.

    After a long time, Yu Xuanji came out of the house, still wearing the apricot yellow Taoist robe, and said with a smile: "You go ahead, go early and come back early."

    "Master." Sun Er took Yu Xuanji's arm and acted coquettishly.

    But Yu Xuanji just said: "Go quickly, you see the lights outside are all on." He also helped Sun'er tidy up her scarf. Although her little bamboo was called the Three Friends of Suihan, but after getting along for a long time,  Always treat her like an ordinary girl.

    Sure enough, the light racks outside the wall started to light up, no, the whole Hangzhou started to light up.  Xu Xian looked up and saw that the sky was dyed orange like those big cities in his previous life.

    ?? Sun'er raised her little face and glanced at the lights outside with some reluctance. "Master is not going, and Sun'er is not going either. Sun'er is here to accompany the master." His face was full of determination.

    Yu Xuanji looked at Sun'er for a while, then shook his head helplessly, "Okay, okay, I'm scared of you." Sun'er immediately clapped her hands and laughed.  Yu Xuanji entered the room, looking as if he was changing clothes.  When he came out again, Xu Xian felt his eyes light up. Yu Xuanji, except for the hairpin, had his hair spread out, and he held it in bunches casually, just hanging it in front of him.  What she was wearing was not the fashionable clothes nowadays, but a goose yellow long dress. The style was simple but extremely elegant. Xu Xian almost said a few frivolous words.

    Perhaps it was the reflection of the lights, but Yu Xuanji's face was stained with a layer of blush. He gently pulled the hem of his skirt and said softly: "Let's go!"

    So the three of them rushed into this world of fiery trees and silver flowers. The streets were busy with traffic, people gathered like ants, the lamp stands were like fiery trees, and the lights were like silver flowers.  There are also some social fire teams performing in the streets, walking on stilts and rowing land boats.  There are countless lion and dragon performances.  The entire city of Hangzhou seemed to be boiling.

    It¡¯s just the current appearance of Yu Xuanji. Men and women have to look back. There are also some frivolous prodigals who come up to chat with them. Xu Xian, who calls himself the flower protector, is also tired of dealing with it. Then look at Yu Xuanji behind him.She still looks that indifferent, but she is really beautiful under the light.  He found a stall selling masks, took three masks and handed them to Yu Xuanji. He gave Xu Xian a slightly angry look and put them on his face, but at the same time he felt relieved.

    However, there are not a few people who know Xu Xian. Chu Xue tried him all the way and left an impression on many people.  The final ranking was second only to Pan Yu and Caifeng. The good guys were ranked among the Four Young Talents from Jiangnan. Xu Xian was now ranked first among the Four Young Talents from Jiangnan. Xu Xian himself sweated when he heard this title.  .  Along the way, there were also many strangers who bowed their hands to him and wished him a happy birthday.

    The further we walked into the city, the more and more brilliant the lights became. On the Dinggu Tower, the highest building in the city, all the adults in Hangzhou were sitting on it, admiring the lights and watching the dance.  Xu Xian and the other three passed by downstairs and looked up. Pan Yu's uncle, Governor Pan, and his teacher Wang Xuezheng should all be above them. Just then, a passerby called out "Xu Tanhua." The voice was still very loud.

    Wang Xuezheng looked downstairs and said to everyone with a smile: "My disciple is downstairs. He is very good at poetry. I called him up to meet the occasion." Although he was only a mere academic scholar, he had an official rank among the people at the table.  , nothing.  But he was sitting in the main seat, not because of his strong background, but because he was the number one scholar in Jiayu's twenty-eighth year.  Except for official banquets, everyone must sit in the first place.  As soon as he said this, everyone knew what he meant, that he wanted to formally accept Xu Xian as his disciple.

    A boy immediately went down and said a few words into Xu Xian's ear. Xu Xian nodded in agreement, then waited for Yu Xuanji for a moment, and then followed the boy upstairs. When he went upstairs, he took a closer look. He saw a big table on the terrace, surrounded by a lot of people.  Young maids stood guard, and there were also band singers. The most conspicuous one among them was Miss Caifeng who participated in the first snow trial.

    Xu Xian bowed and said: "Xu Xian, the academician of Tianshu, has met the teacher and all of you." There was also a slender old man with a goatee in the table, but he didn't recognize him.  Wang Xuezheng introduced: "This is Mr. Jin, the God of Southern Wealth, and I'm not polite."

    Xu Xian immediately understood that this was Jin Wancheng whom Pan Yu had mentioned before, and immediately saluted and said, "I have met Mr. Jin."

    Jin Wancheng smiled and said: "No matter what Mr. Wang says about the God of Wealth or not, the old man will not be able to sit down anymore." The old man looked stern when he was expressionless, but when he smiled, he was extremely gentle.  Even when facing officials, he did not appear weak.

    Xu Xian stepped forward to toast, and Wang Xuezheng said: "It's your blessing to come this time. We are about to see Mr. Jin's treasure!"

    Jin Wancheng said humbly: "It's just some ingenious and obscene skills, they can't be put on the stage." As he spoke, he took out a brocade box from his arms and placed it on the table.  As soon as this box came out, someone immediately drove out the maid and singer.  The hall fell silent. Apart from the people sitting there and a group of guards, only Xu Xian and Caifeng were not driven out.

    Jin Wancheng gently opened the box and saw strange light flowing in the box. Six gems the size of pigeon eggs lay quietly in the box with a red velvet bottom.  First, he handed it to Governor Pan, who took out one and played with it. He saw that it was light black in color, but as transparent as glass, with many broken surfaces, which attracted the surrounding light and fire into it, making it shine brilliantly.  He couldn't help but asked in surprise: "What is this?"

    Jin Wancheng smiled and did not answer, just stroking his beard and smiling.  If he dares to betray himself in front of the governor, he knows that he is an unusual businessman.

    When the officials read it, they all thought it was beautiful, but they didn't recognize it.  Finally it was Xu Xian's turn. Xu Xian took out a thin one and seemed to be counting something. Jin Wancheng's eyes lit up but he said nothing.  Finally, Xu Xian sighed and said: "A fifty-eight-sided black diamond, how could Mr. Jin have such craftsmanship and skill?"

    Diamonds, also known as adamantium, were not of high value in ancient times. In addition to the concept of valuing jade over stone, the most important thing is that the cutting technology is insufficient. Even if the cutting technology is barely passable, the development of mathematics is still needed as a basis.

    "The six stones in Xu Xian's hands have clearly been cut and polished very strictly and meticulously. I can't help but marvel at the skillful craftsmen of ancient times.  They may not have strict technology as a basis, but with their ingenuity, they create things that even people today are amazed by.  Many artifacts dating back thousands of years have been unearthed in later generations, and their production techniques remain a mystery.

    What¡¯s more, in this world where gods and ghosts dance, the wonders may be even greater than in the previous life.
