Who says sleep is not spiritual practice?

Chapter 203
"Success, get married?"

Xiaoman's pretty face flushed, and she took a peek at Jiang Qingyu.

I have to say that my son is really good-looking.

When I gave up the assassination back then, apart from the other party showing a gentle and kind side, there may not be some reasons why I couldn't do it because I saw someone handsome.

"uncle."

Jiang Qingyu sighed softly:
"I have no objection to engagement, it's just..."

"I hope to take it easy and wait until I take Xiaoman to the capital to meet my mother and elder brother before we make a marriage agreement."

"They have been in Beijing as pledges for 12 years, and there is no hope of their return. I will probably not be able to drink the wedding wine when I get married in the future. Taking advantage of this time when the eldest son enters Beijing, it is just in time for them to drink the engagement wine."

"Son..."

Xiaoman held Jiang Qingyu's hand with a distressed look on his face.

Du Heng sighed and nodded slightly:

"Forget it, it's rare that you have such filial piety, so just wait another month."

"only……"

"There is a customary rule in the rivers and lakes. If you can't enter the capital if you pick up the stars, I won't be able to drink your engagement wine at that time. I can only let you drink a few more glasses with you today."

Jiang Qingyu pretended to be surprised:
"Abstaining from the stars and not entering the capital?"

"Uncle is in the Star Reaching Realm, so aren't you the one who is full of flowers... the number one landlord?"

Du Heng looked proud, blowing his beard and staring:

"Why, doesn't it look like it?"

indeed……

Not like.

Jiang Qingyu observed the other party.

Du Heng looked like a middle-aged man in his 50s or [-]s, with an ordinary appearance, neither handsome nor ugly.

Unlike when they fought in the sky just now, his demeanor is not cold or gloomy, nor is he arrogant and arrogant, but instead gives people a kind and amiable feeling.

Put on the mask, take off the mask, it seems like two completely different people!

I don't know if it's a disguise, or he already has two faces.

"picture!"

"Uncle, at a glance, he is a man with hands and eyes!"

Jiang Qingyu complimented with a smile.

"Haha, it's still you who can talk!"

Du Heng patted his shoulder:

"Let's go, the food is almost ready, we must drink a few more glasses today!"

……

An hour later.

"Tsk, girl, your husband is not good at drinking!"

"Your father and I are the best!"

On the wine table, Du Heng, who drank Jiang Qingyu and lay down, put on a mask arrogantly. At the same time, his temperament suddenly changed, and he returned to his original ruthless side.

"Father is gone, remember to go home and have a look as soon as possible, your master is still waiting for you!"

"Father... is waiting for you at home."

Du Heng rubbed Xiaoman's head, gave a fond smile, then hesitated for a moment, took out a bloody jade tablet from his bosom and stuffed it into Jiang Qingyu's hand:

"This is the token of the No.30 seventh landlord, and it is a congratulatory gift for your engagement in advance!"

"..."

Xiaoman's expression was complicated.

As we all know, Huamanlou has a total of 36 landlords, but few people know that, in addition, there is a No.30 seventh landlord.

Possessing the same power as the top ten landlords, but not having to accept tasks for Huamanlou to assassinate the target, he only needs to promise to help Huamanlou when he is in distress. He is considered a special guest minister.

In other words, with this identity, Jiang Qingyu can mobilize Huamanlou's killers for her own use in the future.

Du Heng's appointment of Jiang Qingyu as No.30's seventh landlord is obviously not because of his strength, but to show goodwill to Yu Yi and Yan Luo behind him, hoping that the previous grievances can be wiped out.

At the same time, it was also to give Jiang Qingyu more means of self-protection so that Xiaoman would not become a widow in the future.

Before leaving, Du Heng asked again:

"Girl, this time you go to the capital, don't mess around like last time!"

"In case there is any trouble that can't be solved..."

"You can go to Jixia Academy to find Mr. Xun Yong."

Mr. Xun Yong?
Isn't that the sacrificial wine of Jixia Academy, half-sage of Confucianism, legend of picking stars?

Xiaoman was puzzled and said:
"Last time, not only did I fail to learn from a teacher, but I also imprisoned many students and lecturers from Jixia Academy in the brothel, which caused their reputation to plummet afterwards and became a laughing stock."

"It's been less than a year since the incident, Mr. Xun is afraid that it will be too late to punish me when he sees me, so why would he help me?"

Du Heng did not explain further:

"You just go find him."

"Mr. Xun Yong... Anyway, he won't harm you."

After saying that, he soared into the sky and left Ziyan Courtyard.

"Smelly old man, it's like this again, you only speak half of what you said, and you don't make it clear!"

Xiaoman was somewhat sullen and muttered a few words.

At the same time, he looked at Jiang Qingyu with pity:
"Young Master, it's true. Knowing that the old man is in the Star Reaching Realm, but still fighting with the other party, can't you see that the old man is making things difficult for him?"

"That's right! The young master likes me so he fights with the old man!"

She helped the drunk Jiang Qingyu up, walked towards the bedroom, and at the same time muttered worriedly:

"Sigh, I don't know if Madam and Young Master Qingshu will embarrass me like the old man after I go to the capital..."

"What should I do? Xiaoman doesn't know how to drink!"

……

After sending Jiang Qingyu to the bedroom, Xiaoman sat aside again, staring at him for a long time with his chin propped on his hands.

While watching and giggling.

It seems to think of a certain plot in the novel.

After a long time, she stretched and left the room lightly.

At the same time, Jiang Qingyu, who was lying on the couch, opened her eyes and couldn't help but smile wryly.

At the dinner table just now, Du Heng kept knocking at him about Old Sword Master Yu and Yan Luo's news. There was no lack of camaraderie in his words. Brother Yi", which made him very embarrassed.

I don't know what kind of expression Du Heng will have when he learns that he and Yan Luo are the same person?
It must be very exciting, right?
Jiang Qingyu raised her hand and observed the token left behind by the other party, representing the identity of No.30 Seventh Landlord.

I saw that the token was a piece of blood-colored jade, engraved with the words "Sanshiqi" and "Huamanlou", and at the same time there was a deep red aura inside, dancing like a fish.

"The sincerity is full."

Jiang Qingyu smiled:
"For the sake of you being my father-in-law, I don't care about the past with you."

With the identity of the No.30 seventh landlord, the confidence of going to the capital to bring back his biological mother and elder brother is even greater.

next moment.

He closed his eyes, and decided to let the Yin body go to Qianjian Lake after falling asleep.

Previously in the endless darkness, he had comprehended hundreds of sword techniques, and if he absorbed the sword energy again, he might be able to improve his physical body to the tenth rank of Houtian, or even the star realm!
However, at the moment when he closed his eyes.

But suddenly there was a light knock on the door.

At the same time, a familiar voice came to my ears:

"Qingyu, are you asleep, my father wants to chat with you."

"Father?"

"Please come in."

Jiang Qingyu was slightly taken aback, and hurriedly got up to open the door.

But he saw that the King of the North who was dressed in purple had already pushed the door and entered, and turned around to close the door again.

Holding a jug of wine in his hand, King Jubei walked to the table, picked up two cups and filled them with wine, as if he had come to drink and chat with Jiang Qingyu.

But in the next moment, he said something surprising:

"Should this king call you Qingyu, or..."

"Master Yan Luo?"

"..."

Jiang Qingyu froze for a moment, and at the same time pretended to be bewildered and said:

"What the father is talking about, Qingyu can't understand."

"What Lord Yan Luo?"

King Rejecting Bei drank a glass of wine with a smile, and said with determination:

"How long are you going to hide it?"

"Qingyu, this king is your biological father, not to mention wearing a loose robe and a mask, even if you turned into a handful of ashes, you would recognize him."

"..."

Jiang Qingyu smiled wryly:
"Father, how could you curse your son like that?"

"If mother finds out, you will be fined to sleep on the floor for a month!"

This statement came out.

The King of Rejecting the North suddenly sighed:
"Actually..."

"It's really you."

Although he had doubts for a long time, this matter was too absurd after all, even when he heard the other party admit it, he still couldn't believe it.

His son actually became a star in less than 20 years old!

Really...

God bless the Jiang family!

At this time, Jiang Qingyu looked calm, and finally stopped hiding:

"It's me, Father."

After all, with a thought, he let the power of the Yin body merge into the body.

In an instant, the aura on his body climbed steadily, from the early days of the seventh-rank Houtian to the eighth-rank, ninth-rank...

Fate star, bright moon, sun...

Until the peak of the Sunshine Realm!
"Enough, enough."

The King of Rejecting Bei looked relieved:
"Father believed it!"

"You don't have to expose all your cultivation, your father has already seen your strength today."

"Also, it's best not to tell anyone the secret that you are Yan Luo, even if it's..."

"That girl Xiaoman."

Jiang Qingyu nodded slightly, and the terrifying aura suddenly disappeared completely.

King Jubei filled another glass of wine, raised his head and drank it.

The next moment, he breathed a sigh of relief, as if relieved, he said:

"Qingyu, since you are already a star, there are some things that I should clarify with you."

"Over the years, my father has been burdened with too many secrets by himself, and he is overwhelmed, so that he feels fear every night and cannot sleep."

"But, after today..."

"Father now has one more person to share."

"..."

Jiang Qingyu's heart tightened.

He always felt that the King of Rejecting the North had something to hide from him, whether it was taking a Nine-Turn Golden Elixir every year but it couldn't cure the hidden disease, or Sanniang Xue's advancement to the Sunshine Realm, or the abyss at the bottom of Qianjian Lake, it seemed It's all showing something.

Today, I can finally solve my doubts.

He walked forward slowly, raised another glass of wine, raised his head and drank it, and said seriously:

"Qingyu is willing to share the burden for the father."

"well!"

King Jubei nodded slightly, and at the same time looked in the direction of Qianjian Lake.

After a while of silence, he opened his mouth to reveal the first secret:
"Qingyu, you are apprenticed to Yu Yi, and you have obtained the inheritance of "Yu's Sword Classic". You must have secretly gone to the bottom of Qianjian Lake to practice?"

"You also saw the abyss suppressed by the sword array?"

Jiang Qingyu nodded:
"Yes."

"What monster is sealed in that abyss?"

The King of Rejecting Bei shook his head lightly, and said again in a startling way:
"What kind of monster is it..."

"That abyss is clearly sealed by this king's 25 years of cultivation!"

"..."

A daze appeared on Jiang Qingyu's face.

No wonder, Du Heng's soul breath is exactly the same as that abyss!
Because rejecting Bei Wang's 25 years of cultivation is equivalent to a star-picking realm!
only……

It sounds too unbelievable to strip part of the cultivation base from the body and suppress it with a sword array!

Moreover, how much perseverance does it take to resist not being promoted to the Star Reaching Realm, and to stagnate at the peak of the Sunshine Realm for more than [-] years?

It was simply unbearable!

If something goes wrong in the middle, and the person disappears, wouldn't the 25-year cultivation base be sealed in vain?
"Why did the father suppress this part of his cultivation, instead of directly taking it into his own body and promoting it to the Star Picking Realm?"

"Could it be that Jing's lineage is narrow-minded and won't tolerate a king with a different surname who has a life expectancy of 300 years?"

Jiang Qingyu wondered:

"After becoming the Star Picking Realm, will the founding emperor of the Dragon Raising Realm, who has been closed for hundreds of years and has never shown himself, really make an exception and leave the capital, come all the way to Bingzhou, and personally suppress the father?"

"Can……"

"There are no less than ten people in the world who are beyond the power of the imperial power, and there are probably no less than ten people in the world. I don't see him lowering his status to deal with them one by one?"

King Jubei sighed, and a trace of fear flashed across his eyes:
"Others may not cause this person to attack, but the father is different."

Jiang Qingyu was very puzzled:
"Why?"

"Is it because the father is a king with a different surname?"

King Jubei nodded, then shook his head again.

Then, he spit out a big secret that could shock the whole world:
"Qingyu, do you know that a hundred years ago, when the Wu clan of the Yue Kingdom ruled the world..."

"The fifth grade of congenital is actually not called raising a dragon."
