Chapter 14 Aftermath
Zhou Qing fell to the ground and looked back to see the hanging building he had just left behind him, shrouded in the white moonlight. Above it, the Zhenyun copper gourd hung in mid-air, surrounded by a cloud. It rotates and changes constantly, and from time to time the raindrops fall down. From a distance, it looks like a hanging curtain, which is as beautiful as a curtain.
In such a misty and misty building, it is very poetic to be successfully promoted and step into the realm of marrow cleansing.
He took another look, turned around and walked outside.
After a while, when he came to the mountain gate of Shuixiang Xiaozhu, Zhou Qing stretched out his hand and called a servant standing on the steps, and said, "I want to find the butler."
The servant guarding the door here is smart, capable and experienced. After he stepped forward to verify Zhou Qing's identity as quickly as possible, he bowed and saluted, saying: "Butler Zhou has already given instructions that the distinguished guests in the small building have something to do. Meet him directly.”
“I’ll show you the way.”
“Okay.”
Zhou Qing followed, tall and tall. The sleeves swayed, indescribably relaxed and unrestrained.
He didn't walk fast, with a bit of relaxation in his eyes.
The night was getting dark, and in the distance, a silver moon cast its cold light around, as if it were covered with a layer of frost and snow. The color of the stones on the road seems to have been washed by the moonlight, making it three-points more transparent than during the day.
I felt better than ever for a while.
Zhou Qing was thinking, it was her inner happiness that made Qingyun Garden under the night so interesting and refreshing.
After all, once the descendants of the Zhou clan in Hengnan break through to the marrow cleansing realm before the age of sixteen, their status in the clan will skyrocket.
Only when your status increases can you have room to move around.
Time passed quickly as he was thinking about things in his mind, until the servant leading the way stopped, pointed to a mansion in front of him, and said, "Master Qing, the butler lives there."
Zhou Qing looked at it At a glance, there are stone lions on the left and right in front of the mansion, which are more majestic than the mansion where I and my uncle live.
The servant leading the way stepped forward and knocked on the door knocker very discerningly, and passed a message to the person who came out, saying: "Young Master Qing, I live in Shuixiang Xiaozhu Bingliu Jingshe, and I want to see the housekeeper."
The person who opened the door was startled when he heard the words "Shuxiang Xiaozhu". He first sent the people around him to report to the housekeeper, and then said to Zhou Qing: "This young master will follow me to the house first. Wait, the butler will arrive later."
Zhou Qing would not object. He went to the living room of the mansion and sat down. A maid served him tea. The color of the tea was as bright as the dawn on the mountain, shining on the window paper. But the tea cup is green, like newly polished jade, warm and moist.
The tea cup is brown in color and has the aura of gold and stone in contrast to each other.
Seeing this, Zhou Qing picked it up and tasted it. Sure enough, it was cold and fragrant in the mouth, a refreshing and refreshing taste, with endless aftertaste.
He was quietly sipping the tea, seeming to have forgotten about business.
When footsteps sounded outside, Zhou Heng came in with his clothes on. Zhou Qing stood and saw a slight look of fatigue on the brows of the butler, knowing that he must have been woken up from his sleep. He couldn't help but stand up and said : "Excuse me."
Zhou Heng has really been busy day and night in the past month. He was called out as soon as he finally fell asleep today. It was really uncomfortable, but the smile on his face was gentle and bright. Said: "Young Master Qing, you are welcome."
Zhou Qing saw that the butler came to sit down in the living room this week, and also served a cup of tea. He seemed to want to refresh himself with tea, and knew that he was really tired, so he made a long story short and said: "Butler, I have been bothering you for more than a month. , I have other things to do and I have to go back.”
He came to see Butler Zhou to leave.
This Qingyun Garden is not his home. He can come and leave whenever he wants.
If you want to leave, you have to say hello to someone.
“Huh?”
Zhou Heng had just taken a sip and was holding the tea cup with his hand. When he heard these words, he was slightly startled and a little surprised. In his opinion, the other party did not hesitate to use up a precious favor to allow his master, layman Qingyun, to go to Shuixiang Xiaozhu.
Leaving in just over a month?
“What happened?”
Butler Zhou calmed down and took a sip of tea to temporarily suppress his physical and mental fatigue. For the first time, he took a serious look at the person he had not seen for so many days. Zhou Qing, this look made him stunned.
After a while, he spoke in an uncertain tone and said: "Promoted?"
Because he had discovered that Zhou Qing, who was sitting upright, had a lively energy that he had not seen before. This is a change that occurred after marrow cleansing.
How is that possible?
Zhou Qing smiled slightly, circulated his inner energy, his spine was like a mountain, making his whole person's temperament stand out, and said: "It was a lucky break."
Butler Zhou looked at Zhou Qing several times With his eyes open, he finally confirmed that the young man in front of him had indeed been steadily promoted. He put down the tea cup and said: "There is no room for luck in the realm of marrow cleansing. Young Master Qing has accumulated a lot of experience and soared into the sky."
He turned his eyes, seeming to be thinking about Zhou Qing's age. When he remembered it, the smile on his face became brighter and he said: "With a young and promising junior like Master Qing, Mr. Zhou Ming will be waiting to enjoy the blessings in the future. "
"The butler is ridiculous."
Zhou Qing sat on the chair, calm and steady. He said in a tone that sounded casual but not too casual. "Just say. In the Hengnan Zhou clan, I heard that Zhou Luoyun is not much older than me and has already entered the marrow-cleansing realm and started to cleanse the marrow and replace the bones.”
“If he hadn’t laid a stronger foundation, I’m afraid. You have to prepare to build the foundation and step into the realm of Qi refining in one fell swoop.”
“Compared with Zhou Luoyun, I am still far behind.”
"Zhou Luoyun."
Hearing this name, Butler Zhou was shocked. He looked at Zhou Qing and found that after speaking, Zhou Qing's eyes were so deep that he could not see the bottom.
He knew that Zhou Luoyun was suppressing Zhou Qing in the clan and squeezing his cultivation space. But to be honest, the people around Zhou Luoyun did everything, and Zhou Luoyun himself never expressed his position openly.
As for Zhou Qing, due to the status gap between the two parties, he has been passively retreating back and forth without saying a word.
And now, Zhou Qing actually named Zhou Luoyun?
"It's different."
Butler Zhou looked at Zhou Qing across from him. For some reason, he felt a sense of turmoil.
The current status of Zhou Qing in the clan is definitely not as good as that of Zhou Luoyun. The gap is not small. However, Zhou Qing, who has been promoted to the marrow cleansing realm, no longer allows the other party to block him as he did in the past. He can now speak out. , Dare to speak out.
The future collision between the two sides may not be as undercurrent as before.
Butler Zhou was thinking about how Qingyun Garden should operate. At this time, there were footsteps outside, and then someone gathered through the curtain and poked their heads.
Butler Zhou was very strict about rules and his face darkened when he saw this. However, after he gathered his strength and saw the people outside clearly, he confessed to Zhou Qing and let the outsiders in.
Because he knew that the people outside were of a stable nature. If something urgent had not happened, they would never move around like this outside the door when he was receiving guests.
As expected, as soon as the person who came in opened his mouth, Housekeeper Zhou was dumbfounded and said: "Miss Zijuan sent someone to deliver a message, saying that Young Master Chong was beaten by a man named Zhou Qing in Shuixiang Xiaozhu. .”
