"No need for all that trouble, just a quick comb will do, we're not going out."
Cen Xi looked at her complicated hairstyle and immediately wanted to take it apart.
"Don't take it off. I practiced for a long time, hoping to tie your hair one day, but I was never lucky enough to do so. Keep this for a day, and it will fulfill my wish."
Jun Jianchou spoke these words in a calm tone, and his expression was unreadable, but one could detect a hint of melancholy in his voice.
"good!"
Cen Xi nodded, but dared not look him in the eye.
"Today I have come to bid you farewell. I plan to travel around and see the famous mountains and rivers. After I have seen them and my heart is at peace, I will come back to find you and help you deal with all the evil spirits. Right now, my heart is in turmoil, I am extremely impulsive, and I act without thinking. I am not like the madman I was in my previous life."
Jun Jianchou forced a smile and said with emotion.
"Then could you bring Liu Jiuyi along? Master has already taken Jiuyi and Xiaoyu under your tutelage, and they are your disciples now. If it's inconvenient for you to come with Xiaoyu, she can come with me. That girl is very clingy and probably wouldn't want to go with you."
Cen Xicheng said.
"Alright, where is that kid Jiuyi? It's good to take him with us, so he won't feel awkward whenever he sees you."
Jun Jianchou exhaled, calmed himself down, and then spoke.
"Yu Kuang..."
Cen Xi opened her mouth, unsure of what to say.
"Um?"
Jun Jianchou watched her, waiting for her to continue. He no longer expected her to say anything about marrying him; he just wanted her not to push him away.
"Take care of yourself!"
Cen Xi couldn't express all her feelings, and in the end, she could only manage to utter this one sentence.
"Okay! Don't worry, I'll be back in a year or two. Don't look like you're reluctant to let me go, or I'll misunderstand."
Jun Jianchou tucked a strand of hair behind her ear and said softly.
"Um."
Cen Xi didn't dare to say anything more, so she nodded.
"I have two bottles of poison here that are even more potent than Zhu Yanniang's. I'll leave them for you. Next time that man comes, sprinkle them all over the room so he won't leave alive."
"These two bottles are good medicines for strengthening the foundation of internal energy cultivation. You can take them when you have time; they will be good for your health."
"These two bottles are medicine for external injuries. They are very effective. If you get injured, be sure to use them."
Jun Jianchou took out six medicine bottles and placed them on Cen Xi's table.
Cen Xi burst into tears and hugged Jun Jianchou from behind again.
"Silly girl, if you do this, I'm afraid I won't want to leave. Take good care of yourself."
Jun Jianchou pried her hand away, strode to the door, and left without looking back, like a gust of wind sweeping him away.
Cen Xi leaned against the door, watching his retreating figure disappear for a long time. Zhu Yanniang went to her room, examined the bottles and jars left by Jun Jianchou again and again, and finally spoke:
"If you can't bear to part with her, then go after her! Look at how you two are acting like you're about to die, I almost couldn't resist going to snatch her back for you. But I know my strength is limited, I probably can't beat your lover."
“Zhu Yanniang, watch your mouth. That’s my senior brother, not my lover.”
Cen Xi was already in a bad mood, and she instantly exploded when she heard the word "mistress".
"Fine, fine, not a lover, but your mistress, okay? I was tricked by you last time. Your senior brother's martial arts are so high, and his medical and poison skills are far superior to mine. No wonder I was beaten so badly by him last time."
Seeing Cen Xi get angry, Zhu Yanniang immediately changed her tone and said.
“他也不是我情人，朱焰娘你嘴巴放干净点，小心老娘揍你啊！”
Cen Xi raised his fist, making a gesture as if he was about to hit someone.
"She's not your lover, she's not your mistress, so what is she? Seeing how heartbroken you are, I feel like you're sick in the head!"
Zhu Yanniang's biggest fear was that Cen Xi would ignore her, so she was more than happy to have a fight with him.
So she grabbed her wrist, looking ready to get started.
"He's my brother, my senior in the martial arts world. He's going on a trip. Should I be sad?"
Seeing that this old hag looked like she couldn't wait to fight, Cen Xi was speechless.
"Fine! Whatever you say is right, but you'd better give me a man now. The one you described as the most perfect man in the world seems to only be interested in you. You can't let me come all this way to Flying Phoenix Mountain for nothing."
Seeing that a fight was unlikely, Zhu Yanniang changed the subject. She'd become so bored living on this mountain that it would be a waste not to sleep with such a handsome man.
"How about we go to Shangyang City tomorrow and snatch the most beautiful courtesan to be our concubine? I guarantee you'll be a 'seven-times-a-night' man, how about that?"
Cen Xi thought Zhu Yanniang should really open a brothel; her identity was perfect for it.
It's a win-win situation: you can be a customer of prostitutes and get paid in return.
"Hmm, this one will do! Let's go with Chunhua Tower in Shangyang City. It's a nice place, and the people who go in are handsome. Besides, most of the men who go to brothels are heartless. It wouldn't be a loss if I killed them."
Zhu Yanniang thought for a moment and then started choosing a location herself.
"Okay! Tomorrow I'll definitely find you seven good-looking, unfaithful men and send them to your bed. But you can't let them die right away. We're going to seduce someone, not kill someone."
Cen Xi looked at Zhu Yanniang with a warning in her eyes.
"Alright, although I love killing, I have to know when to do it. Chunhua Tower in Shangyang City has government connections. Even if I don't care about human life, I wouldn't dare to do bad things on government territory. It wouldn't be good if I got arrested."
Zhu Yanniang said in a serious tone.
"I remember you said that your previous husband's family were government officials. When you took revenge, why weren't you afraid then?"
Cen Xi raised an eyebrow and asked with a smile.
"How can that be compared? They owe me that, and they must repay it a hundredfold. I've already shown mercy by not wiping out that entire family."
Zhu Yanniang's hostility turned intense whenever her former husband's family was mentioned.
“I’ll go to the back mountain and bring my daughter back. Do as you please, but you’re not allowed to touch any of the men on my mountain.”
Seeing that Zhu Yanniang's aura was off, Cen Xi knew that she had said something she shouldn't have, so she changed the subject.
"..."
Zhu Yanniang didn't say another word until Cen Xi's figure disappeared.
Cen Xi dared to train troops at Feifeng Mountain because she discovered a flat area behind Feifeng Mountain, surrounded by mountains on all sides, like a large basin, similar to the Sichuan Basin in her world, only much smaller, probably able to accommodate about five thousand people.
In addition, the area was undeveloped and unknown to outsiders.
It's practically like delivering food to her; she'd be doing God a disservice if she didn't accept it.
She had already made arrangements: fifty people would stay on the mountain to patrol, while the others would go to reclaim land and build training grounds.
The results are already visible; the wasteland has been completely cleared.
Some houses were also built around the area for storing weapons and for lodging.
Cen Xi also set up ten interconnected formations on the outer perimeter, with large formations containing smaller ones.
Without guidance, an ordinary person would be utterly doomed.
