Chapter 171: Qing Troops Enter the Pass (I)
Zhang Yuanqing turned his head and looked around, his eyes sweeping over the room filled with feminine气息 and adorned with constellation dolls.
"Huh, where's Sister Guan Ya?"
At this time, shouldn't she be hugging her knees and shrinking on the bed, whimpering?
Zhang Yuanqing suspiciously opened the room and went downstairs, seeing the Queen and the Princess sitting at the dining table, each staring at their own laptops, playing online games.
——The Princess's laptop was bought by Zhang Yuanqing.
"Where's Guan Ya?" Zhang Yuanqing stood at the foot of the stairs, not going down.
The Queen, with her mature sister's smoky makeup, turned her head and looked over, rolling her eyes:
"You're finally back. Guan Ya couldn't reach you this morning, so she went to your house to look for you without eating lunch. I've never seen her so emotionally down. What's going on between you two?"
In the Queen and Xie Lingxi's perception, disliking Yuanshi Tianzun yesterday was a subtle change happening within the heart.
It's like you didn't want to eat braised chicken yesterday, but suddenly want to eat it again today. It's a normal emotional change for humans, and you won't feel there's anything wrong with it yourself.
But Guan Ya is different. She really lost a boyfriend, so her reaction is the most intense.
Went to my house? Okay, that's very in line with Guan Ya's character... Zhang Yuanqing nodded: "Got it."
At this moment, he saw Princess Yinyao turn her head, glance at him, and then turn back.
"Want to say something?" Zhang Yuanqing asked.
Princess Yinyao ignored him and focused on the game. She wasn't enthusiastic about games, but rather about experiencing the novelties of modern life, one by one.
Zhang Yuanqing returned to the bedroom and sent Guan Ya a text message.
"I'm in Fujiawan."
Then he sat at the desk, thinking about what he had to do next.
The exploration of Takamagahara has come to a temporary end. The identity of Nuwa and the secrets of the Spirit Realm cannot be obtained in a short period of time. They are long-term goals.
The things to do in the near future are the upcoming second Spirit Realm; contacting worthy ministers for Yin Ji to choose a master and assassinate him; dealing with the Pure Yang Sect Leader; investigating the leader of the Dark Night Rose and the Night Wanderer among the Dark Shadow Twins; saving or not saving the Devil's Eye.
After that, there's the Master Wuhen's lecture at the end of August, to meet Little Round's family.
"There are so many things in August. The Xie family's crab feast is in September."
Zhang Yuanqing pinched his eyebrows, murmuring to himself: There are really too many things to do.
In addition to the Spirit Realm once a month, there are always endless things to do in the real world. At this time, I have to thank the morality points. If there were no morality point restrictions, evil organizations would definitely be causing trouble every day.
Of course, the most important thing now is to get Guan Ya settled and get the relationship back on track.
At this moment, he heard the Spirit Realm prompt:
[Ding! Xiahou Aotian is applying to use...]
Huh? Xiahou Aotian wants to withdraw Dominator-level materials? No way, did this guy really fall into a pit?
Zhang Yuanqing almost burst out laughing.
This is indeed something Xiahou Aotian would do.
"Rejected!"
Of course, he wouldn't agree to Xiahou Aotian's request. There are currently three Dominator-level materials belonging to Xiahou Aotian in the warehouse. Those materials swallowed by the Hundred Refinements Furnace will be considered money spent on learning a lesson.
Even if the loss is great, it's better than going bankrupt.
If the energy of the Hundred Refinements Furnace has accumulated very high, Xiahou Aotian will definitely call him to ask for it. In that case, he will naturally support him.
However, based on his understanding of the Hundred Refinements Furnace and his assessment of Xiahou Aotian's financial resources, the energy accumulation is probably just beginning.
At this moment, Zhang Yuanqing's ears twitched, hearing hurried footsteps coming.
Sister Guan Ya is back... He quickly took out the ghost mirror and stuffed it into his lower back.
At the entrance of the All Treasures Shop, stood a lonely figure, that face that once captivated countless young men, exuded a stiffness that was about to pass away.
Those hollow eyes flowed with a sadness that seemed to come from ancient times, almost flowing backward into a river.
It made people moved and sympathetic.
Lian Sanyue raised her eyes to look outside the store, retracted her gaze, and continued to savor the exquisite cigar sent by Yuanshi Tianzun.
After a while, she raised her eyes to look again, and then continued to savor the cigar.
After several cycles, this chaotic neutral Dominator frowned, got up and walked to the entrance of the store, one hand on her hip, the other pinching the cigar, sighing:
"How about this, I'll refund the cost of the flint and the hand card, and I'll only take 5% of the commission from the antique auction, and refund the remaining 5%.
"I can't give any more. Those materials of yours were swallowed by the furnace, not in my hands. Humanitarianism can only go this far."
Xiahou Aotian's hollow eyes glowed with hope, excitedly saying:
"You are really a good person, Boss."
Lian Sanyue said irritably: "This has nothing to do with being a good person."
Xiahou Aotian heard the words, suspiciously:
"Could it be that you want to enter my harem? But I don't like strong women."
Lian Sanyue looked at him with pity in her eyes: "I've just never seen such an unlucky person, and I was moved with compassion."
"???"
Ling Jun shook his red wine glass, smoothed his messy, uninhibited shoulder-length hair, and smiled:
"After today, Yuanshi will really become your cousin-in-law."
Fu Qingyang held a cigar in his hand, and said lightly:
"Guan Ya will always marry someone. Instead of marrying into the Miller family, it's better to choose Yuanshi. Yuanshi is good, not trash."
Ling Jun tentatively asked: "I think this kid Yuanshi is a sentimental type, maybe he will mess around with other women in the future. What if he disappoints Guan Ya in the future?"
Fu Qingyang didn't reply, picked up the cigar cutter, and "clicked" open the cigar's mouth.
Ling Jun subconsciously straightened his back, and then remembered that Yuanshi should be worried, what does it have to do with me?
Then he relaxed again.
It was an extremely correct decision to rein himself in in time during his youth and not pursue Guan Ya.
Not only is that woman a scout herself, but her mother's family's underworld forces are cruel and arrogant, really not a good match for a playboy.
Fu Qingyang put down the cutter and elegantly picked up the torch to light the cigar. He stared at the blue flame and said:
"Guan Ya's parents had a marriage of convenience. After giving birth to her, my aunt and ex-uncle each went their own way, without interfering with each other. When Guan Ya was in junior high school, the two of them couldn't go on any longer and divorced."
"Under the influence of her original family, Guan Ya is cowardly, cowardly about fate, cowardly about feelings."
"She doesn't want to be like her parents, but she doesn't dare to resist her family. She craves free love, but she has no confidence in marriage and relationships."
Qian Gongzi bit the cigar, took a deep breath, exhaled dense white smoke, and slowly said:
"I don't care whether she and Yuanshi can go to the end, but she needs to break through her psychological barriers, overcome her cowardice, pursue what she wants, and take this step. That's the most important thing."
How could Yuanshi's little thoughts be hidden from the dignified Qian Gongzi.
"Well-intentioned!" Ling Jun said with emotion, and suddenly thought of something, said:
"I heard something. Isn't my stud father been in the Spirit Realm recently? He observed that there may be changes in the Spirit Realm recently."
Fu Qingyang's eyes narrowed:
"What changes?"
Ling Jun said: "I heard from the elders in the sect that the Spirit Realm's performance appraisal may be extended from Dominator to Saint."
The so-called performance appraisal is the name given by large organizations to "Dominators must kill a certain number of enemy faction walkers in the last three months of the year".
Isn't this the Spirit Realm's performance appraisal for Dominators?
If the assessment cannot be completed, although it will not return to the Spirit Realm, there will be extremely heavy penalties. There is no unified standard for this type of punishment. Some lose experience points, some have their next dungeon difficulty soaring, and some have problems with themselves, such as psychics having their spiritual senses covered in dust and unable to communicate with the supreme existence in the dark...
Things like that.
This type of assessment was originally only aimed at Dominators. Saint
and Super凡 have to go to dungeons every month, with great pressure to survive, and do not need to bear additional performance pressure.
Fu Qingyang frowned:
"If this is the case, then the conflict between Order and Evil will deepen, the Spirit Realm..."
The Spirit Realm is deliberately deepening this conflict.
The bedroom door was pushed open with force, and Guan Ya hurried back. She had accumulated a lot of words and brewed countless emotions, but when she saw Yuanshi, she suddenly didn't want to say anything.
Seeing him, she felt at ease.
"Hoo~" Guan Ya exhaled lightly.
"I'm back to pack my things." Zhang Yuanqing stood up, looked at her, and took the initiative to say: "I'll leave after packing my things, and I won't continue living here."
When he said these words, his tone and eyes were extremely gentle and calm, as if this relationship was a memory after half a lifetime, without unwillingness or resentment, and his heart was already as still as water.
This gentleness was deliberately created by him to express his "greater sorrow than a dead heart" mood.
As soon as Sister Guan Ya sees me like this, she will regret it to the point of throwing herself into my arms, crying and begging me to forgive her, and then I can get whatever I want... Zhang Yuanqing chuckled in his heart.
Guan Ya stared at him deeply, took a deep breath, walked towards him, and said softly: "Yuanshi..."
"No need to say anything, and don't try to save it," Zhang Yuanqing raised his hand, making a "refusal" gesture, and said:
"I thought about it for a long time yesterday. Maybe you're right. I'm just a commoner, and you're a rich family's daughter. We're not a good match. We can enjoy the beauty of love, but we're not suitable for marriage."
As soon as he finished speaking, the cat king speaker in the desk drawer played a long-lost song:
"You were the one who wanted to break up, break up, break up, and now you want to use true love to coax me back. Love is not something you can sell or buy if you want..."
You're quite good at adding drama to yourself, well, but the music is good, very appropriate... Zhang Yuanqing complained in his heart, his face still maintaining the calmness of a dead heart.
"Yuanshi, what I want to say is..."
Guan Ya walked up to him, looked at her boyfriend's sage-like eyes, suddenly grabbed his arm, twisted her waist, turned around, and performed a fierce judo throw, throwing her ex-boyfriend out, roaring:
"What tricks are you trying to play in front of me again?"
Zhang Yuanqing flew up like riding the clouds, a string of question marks flashing in his mind.
This was not what he expected.
Guan Ya's reaction was beyond his expectations. Shouldn't she be rushing over with a face full of tears, hugging herself tightly, and crying:
"You are electricity, you are light, you are the only myth?"
The confusion in his mind did not delay his combat response. Zhang Yuanqing immediately used Star Escape, turning into starlight and escaping before his body was smashed to the ground.
He then appeared at the door and shouted, "What are you doing..." Before he could say the word "doing", Guan Ya's whip kick, as fast as a shadow, had already kicked towards his head. Zhang Yuanqing instinctively raised his arm to block.
His arm bone cracked instantly.
Before he could use Star Escape to escape, Guan Ya's subsequent attacks followed closely, not giving him any chance to breathe.
With a series of crisp sounds, Zhang Yuanqing was "locked" on the ground by Guan Ya.
How could a Star Official's close combat be a match for a Swordsman? He couldn't really take out props to drive Yin corpses to control spirit servants to beat his girlfriend.
Then he could only be captured with hatred.
"Ouch, ouch, ouch, it's broken, it's broken, my arm is broken..."
Guan Ya's long legs clamped Zhang Yuanqing's neck tightly, hugged one of his arms, and exerted force in her slender waist, pulling back hard.
Zhang Yuanqing felt that his arm was about to be pulled off.
"You won't remember if it doesn't hurt." Guan Ya said angrily: "What tricks did you play yesterday? Explain it to me from beginning to end, and I'll consider whether to take off your arm or your leg."
"I didn't play any tricks. What tricks could I play? Didn't you propose the breakup?"
"Bah, I'm a scout. If I haven't reacted by now, I might as well return to the Spirit Realm." Guan Ya shouted:
"Speak!"
"This is all Fu Qingyang's fault. He cut my red thread..."
Guan Ya exerted her strength suddenly, and with a crack, Zhang Yuanqing's right arm dislocated.
She let go, retracted her long legs, and sneered:
"So yesterday you deliberately wandered in front of me, tricked me into taking the initiative to break up, increased my guilt, and wanted to see me regretfully crying and agreeing to anything you wanted?"
"Yuanshi, do you think I haven't seen men before? Can't I live without you?"
She sneered again, stood up, patted her butt, turned around and left.
Zhang Yuanqing felt that he was still too young and had completely miscalculated the敏銳 of a scout.
Well, he tried to steal a chicken but lost rice instead. Sister Guan Ya seems to be angry... Zhang Yuanqing sat on the ground, his palms supporting the ground, and pressed down.
The dislocated arm was immediately reset.
"Is it so difficult for me to do what I want to do with my girlfriend?" Zhang Yuanqing didn't chase after her, sighed, sat back at the desk, and picked up his phone.
He sent a message to Ling Jun:
[Yuanshi Tianzun: Mentor, the plan has failed. The enemy is too strong, and the student is powerless.]
[Ling Jun: Did Guan Ya see through your clumsy tricks and you got beaten up?]
[Yuanshi Tianzun: How do you know? Damn it, you knew I would fail, but you didn't remind me just now. Not only did you not remind me, but you also implied that I could.]
[Ling Jun: Don't worry, when it gets dark, go to Guan Ya's room, and everything will be to your liking.]
[Yuanshi Tianzun: Really? Don't fool me, I don't want to get beaten up again.]
[Ling Jun: The essence of this matter is actually to make Guan Ya realize your importance. Feelings that haven't experienced setbacks and storms are unreliable. People only understand cherishing when they have experienced loss.]
[Ling Jun: She's a scout. She can see through your little tricks at a glance, but her mentality will change subtly after experiencing the taste of loss. She will reflect on herself, whether she is too incompetent as a girlfriend?]
[Ling Jun: Forcing her boyfriend to use these crooked methods, is that your problem or her problem? As long as Guan Ya truly likes you, then she will realize her mistake and compromise.]
Zhang Yuanqing read the message over and over again, thinking it made sense:
[Yuanshi Tianzun: As expected of a mentor, you are masterful at grasping women's psychology. I admire you, I admire you.]
[Ling Jun: Heh, don't think that you can be disrespectful to your teachers just because you've learned a few tricks. The teacher's experience and skills are something you will always need to look up to.]
[Yuanshi Tianzun: The student knows his mistake.]
[Ling Jun: Go, I hope to see a Yuanshi Tianzun who is a man tomorrow.]
[Yuanshi Tianzun: Mentor, lend me your soundproof prop.]
Ling Jun enjoys the feeling of imparting love experience. This pleasure and sense of accomplishment can only be given to him by Yuanshi Tianzun.
Next, Zhang Yuanqing followed Ling Jun's instructions and locked himself in his room for the whole afternoon, until night fell, and even ignored the Queen calling him to eat, to express his depressed mood.
The reason for not showing up is that the emotions he faked can't hide from the scout, so he simply doesn't appear.
The Queen called people to no avail, went downstairs happily, and returned to the dining table and said:
"Did you two quarrel again? I think the Captain is in a bad mood."
Guan Ya didn't respond, ate with a depressed expression, often dazed and absent-minded, and put down her chopsticks and went upstairs after only a few bites.
Princess Yinyao, who was sitting at the table reading the news, silently raised the small speaker:
"There is a change in the love palace, something big is going to happen, do you need me to assassinate your rivals?"
"Huh?" The Queen didn't understand the Star Official's professional jargon, and looked blank.
Princess Yinyao silently put down the speaker again: "So slow, you don't deserve to lead the harem."
At eleven o'clock in the evening.
The air conditioner was blowing cold wind, the curtains were tightly closed, and the bedroom was pitch black.
Guan Ya lay on the bed, tossing and turning, turning over every few minutes, until
Until dawn, the irritability in her heart accumulated more and more.
At this moment, she heard a slight "click" sound from the door.
Guan Ya was startled, and then heard a sneaky voice:
"Sister Guan Ya, are you asleep?"
ps: I'll update the wrong words first and then change them. It's a bit difficult to write...
