Chapter 163: White Shoulders

Shrouded in a dark red hue were the Flower Valley Master and the letter in his hand.

Hua Buming opened the letter.

Read it once.

Then he looked up at Yu Rubai, who was standing straight.

Then he read the letter in his hand twice.

He read the short letter three times, and finally looked at Yu Rubai's pretty face repeatedly.

Elder Feng, who was closest to him, couldn't help but ask:

"Buming, what happened?"

Master Huagu gave the letter to Elder Feng.

After reading the letter, Elder Feng passed it to the other three elders.

Huaguzhu looked at Yu Rubai from head to toe:

"Rubai, how old are you this year?"

Yu Rubai was first made uncomfortable by Hua Guzhu's strange gaze, and then he felt even more uncomfortable because of Hua Guzhu's sudden and friendly word "Rubai".

But he still replied:

"Master Huagu, I am twenty-eight years old this year."

Master Huagu: "Twenty-eight. After the New Year next month, it will be twenty-nine. What are your plans for the future? Will you return to the Northwest Divine Doctor Valley or continue in Lingnan?"

Yu Rubai said succinctly, "I will leave for Lingnan in two days. I don't know what will happen next."

The Flower Valley Master put his hands behind his back:

"Alright, I've read your master's letter. This matter is indeed serious and requires further discussion. I'm afraid you'll need to stay in our valley for two more days. You should go to the guest room and rest first. You can dine with us later."

Yu Rubai: "Okay."

The plain white sleeves disappeared outside the door.

The five people from Queying Palace immediately gathered together.

Elder Feng: "This kid has a decent appearance."

Elder Lei: "We just want to express our gratitude to Second Mother."

Elder Shuang: "They've come to our door, we just need to give them a push."

Elder Yu: "Give Er Niang a surprise, so she won't hate us too much."

The four of them turned their heads in unison: "Bu Ming, what did you say? Give me a word."

"This is an unjust act! It is absolutely unbecoming of a respectable and upright gentleman—"

Fortunately, we in the Five Poison Valley are not upright."

Hua Buming, the valley master and father, thought carefully and briefly for half a cup of tea, and then said simply:

"Let's do it tonight."

The setting sun rolled down the hillside.

The dark red glow disappeared, and even the letter in Elder Yu's hand was swallowed up by the sweeping night.

The letter contained only a few lines:

[I entrust Xiaobai's affairs to you for proper arrangement. If you can come up with a clever plan...]

It was completely dark.

The candlelight lit.

The windows of every room in the Five Poison Valley were lit up, reflecting figures.

Hua Qianjiao was pleasantly surprised to learn that Su Zhizhi and the others had arrived. She first took them for a walk and then had dinner together.

The food in the Five Poison Valley is good, and the table is filled with dishes.

Su Zhizhi and his friends had been on the road for almost three months, so they enjoyed this meal very much.

Su Zhizhi touched her round belly and said:

"Sister Hua, you are from a wealthy family. You have so many dishes for dinner, and your house is beautiful too. Your yard in our village is not even as big as your house here."

Before dinner, Hua Qianjiao took Su Zhizhi and Qiu Jinyu to her room to change into clean clothes.

After Su Zhizhi saw Hua Qianjiao's yard, she felt an eye-opening shock.

It turns out that even spices can be built into walls.

It turns out that even the bathroom can be made so big.

It turns out that in addition to trees, there can also be ponds and rockery in the yard.

turn out to be……

Hua Qianjiao has always had the best food and accommodation in the valley, and Hua Qianhuan was right about that.

Even the house she lived in was the most spacious among her peers.

Almost ten years had passed since she left the valley, and the house was surprisingly the same as when she left.

No one has lived here since then, and the furnishings inside the house remain the same as before.

It is a very beautiful house. There is no house in the entire Black Bandit Mountain that has such a beautiful and spacious yard and house.

Su Zhizhi has lived in a small village house since she was born. Later, when the conditions in the village improved, the best room she had ever lived in was the guest room of the Black Mountain Restaurant.

"When I grow up and make money, I want to build a house for Xiangxiang, too." Su Zhizhi gestured with her hands, "And I want to build a house for Abao, too, so he can hide in it when it rains."

Su Zhizhi was very excited when she said this, and her cute little pearly teeth were exposed when she smiled.

But Xue Che and the adults at the table who knew the situation suddenly fell silent after hearing this.

Xue Che, Hao Ren, Song Yu, Qin Xiao, Wei Dashuan and others are people who have witnessed and experienced prosperity and wealth in the capital.

Although the Five Poison Valley is beautifully built, it is far inferior to the splendor and wealth of the wealthy mansions in the capital.

Any courtyard in the mansion of a prince or noble would be twice as big as Hua Er Niang's courtyard.

Hao Ren looked at the innocent excitement and envy in his daughter's eyes, and light and shadow flickered in his eyes.

Xue Che felt a little sour in his heart. At this moment, he really wanted to pile all the prosperity of Chang'an in front of Zhizhi. Those were the things she could have had.

But Su Zhizhi started talking again:

"But Black Bandit Mountain is huge, bigger than the largest yard, and the flowers on the mountain are very fragrant. The whole Black Bandit Mountain is our yard."

Su Zhizhi continued to ask Hua Erniang: "Sister Hua, where do your father and your sister live?"

When Su Zhizhi learned that Hua Erniang actually lived alone in a courtyard, she stopped envying her. She thought for a moment:

"Then I still want to live in the same courtyard with my parents. We can build a bigger courtyard later, and then we'll have a big house for me, my parents, Che, and Bao."

Then he added, "If Uncle Xue wants to stay here, we can give him a room."

When the few of them were having dinner, Yu Rubai was not there.

I heard that he was called by the Valley Master and the elders to discuss matters.

After dinner, Hua Erniang sent Su Zhizhi and her group back to the guest room and courtyard.

The courtyard was quiet and no lights were on.

Yu Rubai hasn't come back yet.

Hua Erniang felt a little lost.

She knew the person was in the valley, and the longer she couldn't see him, the more itchy she felt.

But she was unwilling to go to the elders to have dinner together, so she had to return to her own courtyard in a somewhat depressed mood.

"Really? You came here and didn't even bother to meet me. You're such a blockhead and a dead fish face."

Hua Erniang complained in a low voice.

"Zhizhi, do you want to sleep with me tonight?" Hua Erniang touched Su Zhizhi's head.

Su Zhizhi nodded vigorously: "Yes, yes, yes!"

She only looked back at Hao Ren after she answered.

Hao Ren: ...You've already agreed, so why are you still looking at your father?

Xue Che winked at Su Zhizhi:

Zhizhi, we agreed to read the legendary book together tonight.

Su Zhizhi accidentally found a folk legend in the guest room and told Xue Che that they would read it together after dinner.

"Oh, let's see tomorrow then."

Su Zhizhi understood Xue Che's eyes, but left Xue Che without hesitation and walked away holding Hua Erniang's hand.

Xue Che went back to his room with a stern face.

After an incense stick of time, Su Zhizhi came back.

When she came back, Hao Ren and the others were talking and watching the stars in the yard.

Hao Ren asked Su Zhizhi: "Why are you back? Did you act naughty with Hua Er Niang?"

Su Zhizhi shook her head and said, "Because I can't sleep anymore."

Hao Ren: "Can't sleep?"

Su Zhizhi's little face was also a little confused:

"When Sister Hua and I returned, Doctor Yu was already asleep in bed."

As soon as these words were spoken, it was like a thunderclap that shook the earth, leaving everyone present stunned.

Qiu Jinyu barely managed to react and asked Su Zhizhi:

"What did you see Doctor Yu look like? Was he drunk?"

Su Zhizhi thought about it and said something even more shocking:

"Doctor Yu's shoulders are so white."

Everyone:!!!
