BXBX NOVEL Chapter 261: Sikong Lanyues Condition, a Guest from the West Region
Sikong Lanyue gazed at Su Shi faintly.
“I promised to help you, but you want to leave without saying goodbye? You really have no conscience.”
Seeing his hurried attitude, she felt that something was amiss.
Sure enough, like the last time, he wanted to leave secretly.
Su Shi scratched his head. “I really have to go back. But don’t worry, I can come see you anytime.”
Sikong Lanyue turned and snorted coldly, “Who wants to see you? Besides, you’re coming back to see Qingchen, aren’t you?”
Su Shi was a little surprised. How could she know?
Sikong Lanyue said, “When Qingchen was with you, the speed of her cultivation was astonishing, and she even entered the enlightenment of the dao. It seems that my previous understanding of the dao was wrong. Love between a man and a woman is not poison; falling in love is also beneficial for cultivation…”
Although she was shaken inside, this was the first time she admitted it in front of someone else.
Su Shi looked proud. “Of course, don’t you see who she loves?”
Sikong Lanyue gave him a stern look. “You still have a thick face.”
But what he said was true.
Except for Su Shi, she still had an indescribable disgust when she saw other men.
Sure enough, Su Shi was truly special.
Sikong Lanyue fell silent for a moment, then said, “I previously said that I would accept your friend as my disciple, and you promised me a condition, and now I have thought of the condition.”
Su Shi nodded. “Please tell me.”
Sikong Lanyue said, “I want you to come to Tianji Pavilion at least once a month.”
Su Shi was surprised.
That’s it?
Sikong Lanyue’s eyes flickered. “Don’t think too much, I’m doing this for Qingchen. If she doesn’t see you for a while, she won’t have the intention to practice, so you have to come and see her often…”
She said with a slight sense of guilt.
Su Shi said with a smile, “I thought what the condition would be. Even if Daoist Master Sikong didn’t mention it, I would come here often.”
“Glad to hear that.”
Sikong Lanyue turned around, facing away from him and said, “Okay, go quickly. If Qingchen wakes up and clings to you again, it won’t be easy for you to leave…” Before she finished speaking, her body suddenly froze.
She saw a pair of large hands coming from behind and grabbing her slender waist.
“What are you doing?” Sikong Lanyue’s voice trembled slightly.
Su Shi said seriously, “It is a traditional etiquette in my hometown to hug before parting.”
Sikong Lanyue gritted her teeth and said, “Why haven’t I heard that Nanli has such a tradition?”
“Didn’t you just hear it?” Su Shi whispered, “Daoist Master Sikong, Happy New Year.”
“It’s clearly not New Year’s Eve yet…”
With the light behind her, the large hands on her waist disappeared.
Sikong Lanyue knew that Su Shi had left.
Her face was red and hot, and her eyes looked into the distance without focus.
Clearly, the other party didn’t touch the Tianxuan star, but her heartbeat surged like waves.
“Happy New Year, little thief.”
The bright moon was obscured by clouds, and only herself could hear the small voice.
###
Su Residence.
The void was open, and Su Shi leaped out.
The surroundings were familiar, it was his own room, and he felt relieved instantly.
“This time the crossing is quite reliable and didn’t send me to any strange places.”
“Welcome home.”
Su Shi heard a voice.
Click.
A candle was lit.
He saw Feng Chaoge sitting at the table, leaning on her chin and looking at him, her jade cheeks shining brightly under the candlelight.
“Why did you leave?”
Su Shi blinked his eyes, “I went for a walk.”
Feng Chaoge sneered and said, “You left so fast, disappeared in the blink of an eye, I couldn’t even feel your presence throughout Nanli City.”
“Cough cough.”
Su Shi cleared his throat and changed the subject, “Why did Your Majesty suddenly come to me?”
Since the “sneak attack” that day, the other party had intentionally or unintentionally avoided him.
Feng Chaoge’s jade cheeks turned red, and she said lightly, “I have become your wife, isn’t it normal for me to accompany you to bed?”
“Accompany to bed?”
Su Shi smiled, “That depends on what Your Majesty is wearing.”
Feng Chaoge said with embarrassment and anger, “Is that all you always think about when you see me?”
She stood up and walked to the side.
Su Shi was surprised, “What are you doing, Your Majesty?”
Feng Chaoge glared at him, “Don’t go to sleep so soon!”
As the New Year Festival approached, the festive atmosphere in Nanli City grew stronger.
Every household hung red nails, pasted amulets on their windows, entertainment teams walked on the streets, beating gongs and drums, and the lively atmosphere made people very relaxed…
And the Su family’s house was filled with various boxes containing treasures.
Although the Su family had closed their doors and did not receive any guests, and Su Shi never received anyone, this did not diminish the enthusiasm of those families.
They also learned to be smart.
No longer hoping to see Su Shi, but bringing the items to the Su residence, shouting, placing them, and leaving.
For a moment, all kinds of treasures and spirits almost blocked the way.
So the members of the Su family had no choice but to take them out to be able to leave the residence.
“Chen family in Yulin City sent New Year gifts!”
“Commander Cao from Qianyang City sent congratulations!”
“Zhangzhou Mu in the Southwest State…”
With a burst of shouts, the street that had just been emptied was congested again.
On the courtyard, Feng Chaoge shook her head and said, “It seems that Duke Su has truly become a famous celebrity.”
“It’s all thanks to Your Majesty’s favor.”
“Bah, who favored you?”
Feng Chaoge blushed slightly.
At that moment, a servant walked quickly, “Young Master, there is a guest outside who wishes to meet with you.”
Su Shi frowned and said, “Didn’t I tell you that I don’t receive guests?”
The servant scratched his head and said, “But he said he’s from the West Region…”
“West Region?”
Su Shi was momentarily stunned, thinking of something, and quickly got up and walked towards the door.
Feng Chaoge frowned slightly.
She thought it must be someone from the Saxin Kingdom.
Outside the gate of Su’s Residence.
An old white-haired man stood outside the door, followed by a group of guards wearing gold and iron armor.
Seeing Su Shi walking out, he quickly bowed and paid his respects.
“We greet Sir Duke.”
Su Shi looked at the old man, feeling a bit familiar, “You…”
The old man stood straight and said with a smile, “This old man is Chamuha, who once had the opportunity to witness Sir Duke’s heroic performance.”
“It turns out to be Prime Minister Chamuha.”
Su Shi just remembered.
At that time, when Babuch, the King of Saxin, pretended to be sick, he was the prime minister, and later he helped Alia to settle palace affairs.
It can be said that he was the pillar of the Shaxin Kingdom.
“The New Year’s Day is coming soon.”
“As a vassal state, this old man was ordered to pay homage to Linlang, who just passed through the Southwest Region, so I thought of visiting Su’s Residence first.”
Chamuha smiled brightly.
Su Shi didn’t look at him, looked around, and asked, “Where is Alia?”
