Chapter 195: But My Strength Doesn't Allow It



Liu Kongyi stared at Zhao Rong with wide eyes.

This inconspicuous man in ordinary academy student uniform, with his hands in his sleeves, stood upright among the crowd with a calm expression, waiting for his wife to return from her games. Even at this moment, he remained calm despite being the focus of everyone at the gathering. Moreover, he was in the mood to glance around from left to right, welcoming all kinds of gazes.

It seems to be saying... Hey, have you seen enough? If you have, stop looking...

Liu Kongyi's chest heaved, his breathing was slightly rapid, and he looked at Zhao Rong carefully without blinking, not missing a single detail.

But.

She still didn't see anything new...

If before, if he was not mentioned as Zhao Lingfei's husband, he would be just a nobody who came with his senior brothers from the academy to broaden his horizons. He would be inconspicuous among the outstanding male students and scholars from the academy who participated in the gathering.

Just as ordinary as when I first saw him... Well, that's not entirely true. Now, for some reason, Liu Kongyi suddenly felt that Zhao Rong seemed quite attractive. At least, he was not afraid of the gazes of dozens of Tianzhijingfu people... He was quite handsome. This kind of man...

As Liu Kongyi watched, her focus shifted. She didn't know where her thoughts had gone. But in a flash, she felt a little embarrassed and quickly pulled her thoughts back. There were more important things that she hadn't figured out yet!

The dragon carp aura beside Liu Kongyi had stopped long ago, and its appearance seemed a little unstable. The blood-red aura was surging, and the inside seemed to be filled with boiling water, changing dramatically.

This reaction started when the "purity" in Zhao Lingfei's hand transformed into a girl's hand.

Liu Kongyi knew very well what was going on. She had long ago cultivated the Dragon Carp Xiaqi Sacrifice into her natal object, and through some mysterious connection with its ignorant spiritual intelligence, she knew that this was a kind of innate suppression in terms of rank.

Moreover, Liu Kongyi had seen this kind of transformation at Mr. Tao's place not long ago. One of the purple beads in Mr. Tao's rosary was transformed from the purple energy from the east. As soon as it appeared and transformed, the dragon carp mist was boiling like it is now...

The Luoying that he gave to Concubine Zhao Lingfei to decorate the jade pendant was the Taoist gentleman's purple air coming from the east, there was no doubt about it!

Liu Kongyi looked at Zhao Rong with a flushed face, her eyes were not shy, and she turned back from time to time to look at the purple air in Zhao Lingfei's hand. When she looked at Zhao Rong again, she felt her face getting even hotter, as if it was about to be roasted...

Ji Qianyi was originally slightly drunk after drinking the withered wood wine that could make practitioners temporarily intoxicated. But at this moment, he sobered up instantly and looked at "Qingjing" with doubtful eyes. But gradually, the doubt in Ji Qianyi's eyes disappeared, leaving only surprise.

This is indeed the Purple Air from the East, which is ranked first among the auspicious auras in the world. It is usually controlled by the powerful Taoist forces. There are very few of them wandering outside, and it is almost impossible for outsiders to see them!

But now...

Ji Qianyi's expression froze, like a stone statue. At a certain moment, his neck slowly turned, and in his field of vision, the "ordinary son-in-law" whom he had never even glanced at before was standing with his sleeves rolled up, looking at everyone with a calm demeanor.

Ji Qianyi looked at Zhao Rong very seriously.

The next second, he turned his head suddenly and looked at Yunzi.

Ji Qianyi frowned.

I asked you to check, what did you check?

Didn’t you say that Zhao Lingfei’s husband was just an ordinary mortal Confucian scholar?

However, Yunzi did not notice her master's blaming look at this moment, or maybe... she had noticed it but did not dare to turn her head to look.

Yunzi has been keeping her head down and not looking up since Concubine Zhao Lingfei got angry with her. After Concubine Zhao Lingfei turned around and prepared to leave, Yunzi's ordinary face was still expressionless, just like usual, without any ripples.

It seemed that no one ever knew what she was thinking.

However, all of this was broken the moment "purity" appeared.

Yunzi suddenly looked up, his eyes widened, his mouth slightly opened, and he stared at the purple little hand that was stroking the back of Zhao Lingfei's hand.

The purple energy from the east can improve the golden elixir by half a grade!

Yunzi pursed her lips tightly, and suddenly, she felt many suspicious gazes directed at her... Yunzi still stared at "Qingjing" intently, but her face gradually turned blue and white.

Others at the gathering were as shocked as they were.

The legendary item that existed only in Liu Kongyi's mouth a second ago and belonged to Taoist gentlemen suddenly appeared at the gathering this second, catching everyone off guard!

So it had been right under my nose all along?

At first, everyone was just dumbfounded, but then, slowly, everyone on the field, no matter men or women, looked at the thing in Zhao Lingfei's hand with more and more eager eyes.

However, some scholars in the academy, such as Li Jinshu, looked at Zhao Rong, the new junior brother, with complicated eyes...

The field was extremely quiet.

Zhao Lingfei's bewildered tone and Liu Kongyi's shocked words were still echoing in everyone's ears.

A gift from my husband?

You treat this rare and sacred object as a simple tassel for tying jade?

Various gazes began to converge towards a certain place in the elegant gathering.

More and more, more and more.

Until, all eyes on the field fell on the young scholar...

At this moment, Zhao Rong was really helpless.

He felt that he had been low-key enough. Apart from doing what he had to do, such as refusing Ye Ruoxi's assignment of a female companion and going directly to sit with Qingjun, he had no intention of showing off in front of others, because there was no need, and neither he nor Qingjun cared about this.

Zhao Rong originally wanted to blend in with the crowd and quietly eat some of his wife's soft food to warm his stomach.

In the end... it was still seen through by Qingjun's clever senior sisters and brothers.

Zhao Rong glanced at everyone who was staring at him.

I sighed softly in my heart.

Sure enough, the whispers Xiaoxiao said in bed before were right. It is difficult for a man as outstanding, handsome and talented as me to avoid being discovered.

At that time, I thought this stupid girl was begging for mercy to scare me... If I had known, I would have been gentler with my hands, otherwise I would have hurt her...

It seems that the masses have a sharp eye.

He nodded.

Zhao Rong looked at the situation in front of him where he was the center of attention, and suddenly wanted to perform a crooked mouth in public. However, he thought again and gave up. He had already twisted his mouth too much and it would be boring.

Zhao Rong raised his eyebrows, stood where he was, rolled up his sleeves, and glanced around the audience.

Liu Kongyi looked at Zhao Rong with a flushed face. Seeing him looking at her, she quickly showed a beautiful and elegant smile, but the next second Zhao Rong naturally turned his eyes away without staying for too long. Liu Kongyi did not feel embarrassed and her eyes were still bright.

Ji Qian only looked at Zhao Rong for a moment, then looked away awkwardly.

As for Yunzi, he didn't dare to look at Zhao Rong at all. His eyes were fixed on the Luo Ying that Zhao Rong gave to Qingjun. At this moment, he seemed to feel Zhao Rong's gaze and his face turned even paler.

There were also the eldest senior brother, Ye Ruoxi, Ye Lanzhi and others, all of whom had different expressions, but most of them were filled with surprise.

Zhao Rong's eyes continued to scan.

Finally, it stopped on... Qingjun's pretty face.

Zhao Rong looked at his wife's expression and found it very interesting. He laughed and cursed her in his heart, "Silly woman."

After Qingjun learned of Zi Luoying's true identity, he lowered his head and bit his lip to look at "Qingjing", then looked up at him with wide eyes.

Afterwards, she seemed to have accepted the fact that her husband had given her a "Golden Elixir Upgrade to Half Grade" package.

She frowned and stared at Zhao Rong with her long eyes filled with some resentment.

Zhao Rong ignored the people around him and winked at Concubine Zhao Lingfei, earning a cute eye roll from the beauty.

He smiled, then looked around and spoke softly. His magnetic voice spread throughout the room.

"Don't get me wrong, I'm not a Taoist gentleman. This is a gift from Tao Yuanran. I accidentally won the debate between Confucianism and Taoism in Zhongnan Kingdom. Mr. Tao from your Taiqing Mansion."
