If you were to ask Liu Qing what the happiest moment in his life was...
That's probably when she met Yongqi and Xiaoyanzi.
When Liu Qing was 14, she was taken in by Yong Qi and trained with her 12-year-old sister Liu Hong. The following year, they went out to explore the world with Xiao Yanzi.
Later, in Jinan, they encountered Xia Ziwei and her servant Jin Suo.
“Liu Qing, Liu Hong, this is Ziwei, and that is her maid Jinsuo.”
As Xiao Yanzi helped Xia Ziwei settle Xia Yuhe's affairs after her death, they met on their way to the next location.
Xia Ziwei had removed her expensive jewelry, but she still exuded an air of nobility. Therefore, Liu Qing only glanced at her briefly before looking away.
On the contrary, Jin Suo, who was next to Xia Ziwei, looked quite thin and small, with a round face, and was very cute.
On their way to Hangzhou, they were robbed by a group of bandits.
Those who knew martial arts surrounded those who didn't, and Liu Qing happened to stand guard in front of Jin Suo. "Jin Suo, don't be afraid."
Liu Hong couldn't help but laugh, "Brother, what time is it? You still have the mind to tease Jin Suo..."
Liu Qing laughed and said, "These bandits are only so-so; it doesn't take much effort at all..."
Liu Qing, who was feeling smug, didn't notice that a snake was slowly crawling towards him from above. Jin Suo, who was behind him, saw it by chance and exclaimed, "Brother Liu Qing, there's a snake up there!"
Liu Qing and Jin Suo are six years apart in age, and Jin Suo is shorter than Liu Qing, so it's normal for him to call her "brother".
But to Liu Qing, a typical straight man, that "brother" sounded like a deadly threat.
With Jin Suo's reminder, Liu Qing managed to avoid the snake in time.
With the bandits mostly dealt with, Liu Qing tried hard to suppress the excitement in his heart and said, "Jin Suo, thank you for what you just said."
Jin Suo asked worriedly, "Brother Liu Qing, are you alright?"
Liu Qing smiled and shook her head, "Don't worry, I'm fine."
"But you, you must have been scared just now, right?"
"I'm fine..."
Jin Suo said she was fine, but her hands and feet were still trembling.
Seeing the two of them chatting so happily, Xiao Yanzi and Xia Ziwei couldn't help but laugh out loud.
Little Swallow teased, "Ziwei, I think we should let Jin Suo stay by Liu Qing's side from now on."
"I agree." Xia Ziwei nodded without saying a word.
"Jin Suo, you will be working with Liu Qing from now on."
"I have Little Swallow by my side, so you don't need to worry."
Jin Suo was somewhat surprised, but did not refuse.
The group boarded the carriage again, and Liu Qing, Jin Suo, and Liu Hong sat outside chatting.
"Brother Liu Qing, can you teach me martial arts?"
"I also want to protect everyone like you do..."
Liu Hong smiled and said, "Jin Suo, practicing martial arts is very hard!"
Jin Suo said firmly, "I'm not afraid of hardship!"
Seeing that there was no fear in Jin Suo's eyes, Liu Hong looked at Liu Qing and said, "Brother, I think you should agree to Jin Suo's request."
"Since you want to learn, then I'll teach you!" Liu Qing looked at Jin Suo's pleading eyes and couldn't bring himself to refuse.
Afterwards, Xiao Yanzi joined the sect, while Xia Ziwei, Liu Qing, Liu Hong, Jin Suo and their group gathered information in the martial arts world and prepared to establish the Ziyun Sect.
After a year of preparation, Xiao Yanzi also left the sect. With the joint efforts of Xiao Yanzi, Xia Ziwei, and others, a sect called Ziyun Sect was established.
"Liu Qing, Liu Hong, Jin Suo..."
"And to all my sisters, from now on, you will be the pillars of the Purple Cloud Sect!"
Xiao Yanzi is the leader, and Xia Ziwei is the deputy leader.
Mei Zhu is the oldest, so she is the steward of the Ziyun Sect.
Zhu Baiyu was responsible for security both inside and outside the sect, as well as serving as the enforcer of the punishment hall.
Xingchen and Shizhu are the two protectors under the sect leader, assisting Meizhu in managing the Ziyun Sect.
Qingyun was responsible for managing the use of the sect's funds.
Liu Qing, Liu Hong, and Jin Suo were in charge of intelligence gathering.
In the early days of the Ziyun Sect, other sects would come to harass them.
Meanwhile, Xiao Yanzi, Xia Ziwei, and others used their medical and poison skills to set up numerous obstacles outside the Ziyun Sect, preventing external enemies from easily disturbing them.
As the Ziyun Sect grew stronger, it began to send its disciples down the mountain to punish evil and promote good, and to uphold justice.
If local officials commit wrongdoings, in urgent situations, they can act first and report later, provided there is solid evidence.
Disciples within the sect obey the sect leader's orders and abide by the sect rules set by the sect leader.
The purpose of the Ziyun Sect was to benefit all the people of the world.
Those who join the Ziyun Sect are given priority for admission if they are kind-hearted, have a clear sense of purpose, and have a tragic past.
However, whether they can successfully stay in the Ziyun Sect depends on their own abilities.
Liu Qing, Liu Hong, and Jin Suo led their disciples on a long journey, gathering information from various places, until the year Xiao Yanzi returned to the capital.
Liu Qing, Liu Hong, and Jin Suo planned to open a restaurant called Huibinlou in the capital as one of the strongholds of the Ziyun Sect.
After that, the three of them settled down at Huibinlou.
After settling in Huibinlou, they were very busy every day.
It was during this time of spending every day together that Liu Qing and Jin Suo grew closer and closer.
"Jin Suo, now that Xiao Yanzi and the others are married, I also want a word from you..."
As Liu Qing spoke, her face turned bright red.
Liu Hong couldn't stand it anymore. "Brother, can't you be a man for once?"
Jin Suo smiled helplessly, "I've stayed by your side for so many years. If I didn't want to, I would have left long ago!"
After confirming Jin Suo's meaning, Liu Qing immediately went to find an auspicious day.
Finally, the date was set for the 26th year of the Qianlong Emperor's reign, on Liu Qing's 24th birthday.
When Jin Suo got married, Xiao Yanzi, Xia Ziwei, and others naturally had to bring their dowries and attend to support her.
Little Swallow glared fiercely at Liu Qing, "Liu Qing, if you dare to bully Jin Suo, don't blame my Swallow Whip for being blind!"
Liu Hong said with a smile, "Don't worry, if my brother dares to bully my sister-in-law, I'll be the first to not let him off the hook!"
Yongqi put his arm around Xiaoyanzi and said, "Alright, enough chit-chat, let the bride and groom go to their bridal chamber!"
After Liu Qing and Jin Suo got married, as long as there was no bad news, they lived a blissful life together.
Even Liu Hong, the great heroine, felt heartbroken after seeing this.
"Brothers, I'm begging you, please tone it down and give your sister a chance to live!"
Jin Suo smiled and said, "You can also go find your destined one!"
Liu Hong shook her head, "Looking at the appearance of all of you, I don't want to get married."
"I think I'm quite comfortable on my own, as long as you don't provoke me."
Later, Jin Suo became pregnant, and after giving birth to her son Liu Chengyun, her already thin body became even thinner.
After that, Liu Qing didn't want Jin Suo to get pregnant.
All she wanted to do was raise her son and live a good life with Jin Suo.
However, Jin Suo saw that Ziwei and Qing'er's families both had one son and one daughter, so she also wanted to have another child...
Liu Qing strongly resisted, and even had a day-long cold war with Jin Suo because of it.
The next night, Jin Suo was tricked by Liu Hong into drugging Liu Qing. That night, Jin Suo ran away from home, and their beloved daughter also quickly came to visit them.
In August of the sixth year of Rongchun, their beloved daughter came into the world, and Liu Qing named her Liu Xiaomin.
"Grandma, now that your son is 10 years old and you have a daughter, are you satisfied?"
Jin Suo nodded. "Satisfied."
After Jin Suo was satisfied, Liu Qing ruthlessly handed his daughter over to his son to take care of.
Liu Chengyun was speechless. "Whose daughter is this anyway?"
Liu Qing chuckled. "This is your sister, so you have to take good care of her."
"If anything happens to your sister, I will hold you responsible!"
Liu Chengyun gritted his teeth, looking at the giggling little girl lying in his arms, "Little sister, you have to be a good girl!"
But ever since he got the hang of taking care of his younger sister, he really doesn't want anyone else to touch her.
So much so that when his younger sister grew up and was about to get married, Liu Chengyun was still very unhappy, saying, "Father, Mother, I don't want my sister to get married!"
Liu Xiaomin obediently held Liu Chengyun's and her parents' hands, and said with a smile, "Dad, Mom, Brother, Xiaomin thanks you..."
"Xiaomin will come back to see you in the future!"
"Also, brother, you're not getting any younger, it's time to get married!"
"Ideally, you'd better bring your sister-in-law back to me next time I come back!"
"However, if your sister-in-law treats you or me badly, we'll replace her!"
Liu Chengyun nodded, "Okay, I promise you!"
The story of Liu Qing and Jin Suo is about their days and nights together in the Ziyun Sect, their daily lives wandering in the martial arts world, and their busy days and nights at the Huibinlou Restaurant. It is very ordinary, but it is unforgettable!
