Chapter 1166 Meeting a Person

They exchanged a greeting and then passed by like everyone else.

Song Chunxue even subconsciously smiled at him, and looking at his serious face, she didn't even feel a pang in her heart.

She thought she would be deeply moved, and her heart would skip a beat.

As a result, she actually felt a sense of peace from the bottom of her heart that as long as he was doing well, everything was fine.

Damn it, at this moment, Song Chunxue felt that she had reached the pinnacle of her cultivation, just like the Zhang Daoist she had imagined when she first met him.

Her uncle's egg... She suddenly felt an absurd sense that her life had been elevated at this moment.

Yes, it's absurd.

Because Song Chunxue had never felt this way before.

Thinking this, she couldn't help but turn to look at Xie Zheng, who was walking away. His back was straight, and the black boots on his feet were still the same as she remembered.

If she hadn't been attracted to how handsome he looked in his black official boots, she probably wouldn't have even thought about him.

It seems he had a good year.

"Go ahead and cry if you want to, it's not shameful."

Zhang Chengxuan's voice rang in my ears.

Song Chunxue quickly snapped out of her daze and smiled. "Why do I feel like so many people want to cry for me? Don't flatter yourself. If I were going to cry, I wouldn't be here. Do you think I, Song Chunxue, am the kind of person who cries all the time?"

"If I really want to cry, I'll hold him and cry, regardless of whether he remembers me or not. Don't think that forgetting means you can shirk responsibility. He used to call me Ah Xue..."

"Cough cough cough, cough cough."

Zhang Chengxuan's feigned cough with his head down made her realize that someone was behind her.

Sure enough, Xie Zheng turned back.

He explained gently, "I forgot to bring my bracelet. Please continue."

Song Chunxue turned her head away, cursing inwardly: You must be doing this on purpose!

If she actually saw him come back, she wouldn't have the courage or the intention to hug him and cry.

Because of their complicated past, and still is now, when she sees Xie Zheng, even if she can't have him like before, in her heart they are still family.

Even without romantic entanglements, the disciples under the same Lingyun Mountain sect are still the closest group of people in the world.

Master Han's disciple is their junior brother.

They went through thick and thin together.

Seeing Xie Zheng enter the main house, Song Chunxue quickly walked to the small house next door.

Zhang Chengxuan, always eager for drama, said, "Didn't you say you wanted to hug him and cry? Go do it now."

"Shut up."

If Xie Zheng had simply forgotten, she would dare to do so, and even find it amusing.

She patiently won over Lord Xie time and time again.

But he is now comprehending the Dao of Ruthlessness. Once he crosses that threshold, he will be a cultivator without desires or wants. If she does that, she will destroy his cultivation.

She couldn't bring herself to do something so immoral.

Forget it, she didn't want to greet Master Han anymore. Anyway, what they would think of first was her past with Xie Zheng, and they would look at her with those pitying and sorrowful eyes again.

She wasn't actually as upset as they imagined.

I'm so tired.

She took a sip of tea in the side room and then turned to leave.

"Hey, weren't you going to find your martial uncle?"

“I’m not going,” Song Chunxue waved her hand. “I’m going to find Senior Sister Fangyue to go for a walk outside.”

She needed to carefully choose a gift for her child's 100-day celebration.

In the past, she would definitely have made a pair of shoes for her child herself.

But now, she finds herself pricking her fingers when she holds a needle.

Moreover, her skills have declined.

They weren't doing very well to begin with, and now they're even worse.

The embroidery is so bad, you might as well just buy a ready-made pair.

Fangyue was very happy. She carefully selected several outfits in her room, but when she looked at her still-flat stomach, her smile faded considerably.

“I’ve been slacking off lately, but thankfully you’re here. From now on, I’ll practice swordsmanship with you, and my figure will definitely return to its former glory, as slender as before.” As she spoke, Fangyue took out a set of clothes. “Here, junior sister, put this on. This outfit is too masculine for you, not good.”

Song Chunxue looked down at her clothes. They were quite nice, convenient and comfortable. The dark red inner garment and the simple black outer garment were both practical and lightweight.

She no longer likes those fussy dresses; they're so complicated. She even has to go inside to change her clothes before she can practice her swordsmanship.

Such clothes are wonderful. Few men would look at her on the street, but young girls would always stare at her curiously with bright, envious, or fond eyes.

How pure.

To be honest, these days, she gets annoyed when men her age stare at her a few times.

It was the woman's approval that made her feel good.

"Alright, since you like unisex outfits, how about I give you a light blue one?" Fangyue quickly said, "Oh no, you like dark green."

“I don’t like it anymore. The five elements are different every year, the fortune is different, and people’s preferences will also be different. Light blue is fine.” Song Chunxue knew what she wanted to do, so she changed it according to her request.

When she put it on, she realized that it wasn't light blue, but a misty blue that complemented her skin tone. The sleeves were butterfly blue, which was very eye-catching and something young girls would like.

"Junior brother, have you been taking beauty pills every day for the past two years? How come you don't show any signs of aging?" Fangyue pulled her hand and walked outside. "I'll take you to see someone."

"Don't try to play matchmaker. I only got together with him because Zhang Chengxuan was annoyed by our relationship. I don't want to forget the past by meeting new people."

"I know, I know, I just want you to meet him." Fangyue lowered her voice. "He was the man I admired most."

Fangyue and that person were old acquaintances. Last year, her father's case was overturned, and she was freed from the identity of the daughter of a disgraced official.

Therefore, she was able to move freely in and out of the capital and reunite with old friends.

The third floor of Zuixianlou, the top-ranked private room.

Pushing open the door, Song Chunxue immediately saw the man inside with his sharp eyebrows and bright eyes. He stood up, holding a fan, and his white and blue collar made him look even more refreshing in the summer.

He had a meticulously styled beard, which he probably trimmed regularly, and he exuded an air of scholarly refinement.

This doesn't seem like someone from a merchant family at all.

"Brother Sai, I'm sorry to have kept you waiting." Fangyue introduced with a smile as she entered the room, "This is my junior sister, Song Chunxue."

“Junior sister, this is my brother’s classmate, Sai Jiming.” Fangyue’s eyes glistened with tears. “If it weren’t for him, I wouldn’t have survived.”

I see.

But this address of "junior sister" made her feel strangely uncomfortable.

"Nice to meet you." Song Chunxue nodded.

"I've long heard of you, and today I finally get to meet you. You are indeed extraordinary. Please have a seat and try the tea I just brewed."

As they spoke, the food and drinks were served one after another.

After exchanging a few pleasantries, Song Chunxue felt that this person spoke crisply and eloquently, was quick-witted, and always had a perfectly timed smile that made people feel like they were basking in a spring breeze.

When Fangyue's family history was mentioned, the two of them almost cried.

He also said he wanted to be the godfather of Fangyue's child.

“Master Song, I heard you enjoy going to the waterside to enjoy the scenery. I know a very large pond where the lotus flowers are in full bloom. Would you like to go and enjoy the scenery, and pick a few lotus pods while you’re at it?” He invited gently. “There are also large areas of medicinal herbs growing there. You and Fangyue can go there to escape the summer heat.”
