Meet the Gentleman

Chapter 266 The Shadow on the Back

In the Valley of Flowers.

Feng Qingyan and Zi Yaqin knelt facing each other.

The two were silent for a while, and Feng Qingyan said, "Since Brother Zi Ya has made up his mind, I will not try to persuade him any further."

Zi Yaqin smiled, looked up at the night sky and said, "Even if I die, I have no regrets."

"When will we leave?"

Feng Qingyan asked.

Zi Yaqin was silent for a while, then said, "Let's do it tomorrow."

"So fast? Are you ready?" Feng Qingyan frowned, feeling that Zi Yaqin's decision was too hasty.

Is it so easy to enter the underworld?

Now that you can enter, how far can you go in the underworld?

“I’ve been preparing for ten years.”

Zi Yaqin said.

"I'll take you there tomorrow."

Feng Qingyan sighed inwardly.

Zi Yaqin nodded, took out a jar of wine, and said, "Brother Feng, do you want to drink?"

"drink."

Feng Qingyan Road.

The two of them started drinking.

Not long after, Feng Qingyan left with his zither on his back, and when he returned to Jiaziyuan, he found a lot of jade bottles.

At dawn the next day, Feng Qingyan came to Baihua Valley with a pale face, and Zi Yaqin also came out of Baihua Valley, followed by many servants who were reluctant to leave.

"Sir, we are going too."

Ditang, Mujin and other maids said with determination, "We are your people in life and your ghosts in death."

Zi Yaqin ignored Di Tang, Mu Jin and other maids. Seeing Feng Qingyan's face as pale as paper, without a trace of blood, she couldn't help but be very confused and worried, and asked: "Brother Feng, why are you so pale?"

At this time, Feng Qingyan looked a little weak, but he didn't say much. He said, "I prepared some things for Brother Ziya last night. I hope it can help Brother Ziya."

"Brother Feng, isn't this bloodletting?"

Zi Yaqin said with a look of surprise on her face.

At this time, Feng Qingyan nodded and said, "It's blood."

"what?"

Zi Yaqin exclaimed, "Brother Feng, why are you bleeding?"

"I am a Void Saint, and my blood can suppress demons and monsters. Since Brother Ziya is walking in the netherworld, I can certainly use it." Feng Qingyan said with a smile, "Perhaps the power is not as great as imagined, I hope Brother Ziya will not mind."

“Brother Feng…”

Zi Yaqin didn't know what to say.

At this moment, I was so moved that tears almost came out.

Although Feng Qingyan said it was the blood of the Void Saint, he and Feng Qingyan went to Youdu together, so how could he not know that Feng Qingyan was a descendant of the Ghost Emperor?
The blood of the Ghost Emperor's descendants can suppress demons and monsters.

Even evil spirits can be frightened.

At this moment, Feng Qingyan's face was as pale as paper. He must have lost a lot of blood...

Zi Yaqin bowed deeply to Feng Qingyan and said, "Brother Feng's kindness, Qin, I will never forget. Please accept my greeting."

"Brother Ziya, please stand up quickly."

Feng Qingyan came up and helped Zi Yaqin up, saying, "Don't be like this."

"Brother Feng shed his blood for me, I have no way to repay you."

Zi Yaqin suddenly choked up.

"I will be fine after resting for a while. I am not injured." Feng Qingyan smiled. Although his face was as pale as paper, he was in good spirits. "In addition to my blood, there is also a bottle of golden liquid that can grow flesh on bones."

“Brother Feng…”

Zi Yaqin looked at Feng Qingyan with emotion, her eyes already moist.

At this time, Mu Jin, Di Tang and other maids were also deeply shocked by Feng Qingyan's actions. They really couldn't believe that the world-famous Xu Sheng would bleed for the sake of the young master...

This also made them deeply moved.

"We thank you for canonization!"

At this time, maids such as Mu Jin and Di Tang all knelt down.

"Ladies, please stand up."

Feng Qingyan gestured.

"I have to go to the underworld alone, and I hope Brother Feng can take care of me." Zi Yaqin gestured.

Feng Qingyan nodded and said, "Brother Ziya, don't worry." "Sir, we have made up our minds."

Maids such as Mu Jin and Di Tang said that they would still follow Zi Yaqin to the underworld.

"In that case, Mu Jin and Di Tang will go with me, and the others will stay." Zi Yaqin looked at the maids and said, "It is your good fortune that you can follow the canonization. Don't miss the opportunity."

"How many people in this world want to be canonized but cannot?"

Zi Yaqin sighed.

At this time, the historians following behind Feng Qingyan took up their pens and recorded the scene before their eyes.

"Sir, please get in the car."

Mujin and Ditang happily went to catch the carriage.

"Gentleman, let's say goodbye."

Zi Yaqin nodded, bowed to Feng Qingyan and got on the ox cart.

Seeing him getting on the ox cart, Feng Qingyan said, "We agreed last night that I will give you a ride."

Zi Yaqin smiled and didn't stop him.

At this time, the ox cart slowly drove south, then turned and drove north.

Zhou Chang, Yan Shan, Helian Shan and others seemed to have heard the news and came to see him off one by one. Among the people seeing him off, there seemed to be many teachers from the academy.

"Have a safe journey, young master."

"Have a safe journey, young master."

Yan Shan, Helian Shan and others all bowed to the ox cart.

All the zither players from Fengming Zither Club came, each carrying a zither on their backs. They bowed deeply to the ox cart and said, "Safe journey, young master."

"Qin, I would like to thank you all here, and I hope to see you again someday."

Zi Yaqin walked out of the ox cart and bowed to the crowd that was seeing her off.

"Sir, you are heading north, but where are you going?"

A student from the academy asked.

Although Zi Yaqin heard it, she did not answer. She walked back to the ox cart and headed north.

"I'm afraid you're heading to the netherworld."

Someone shook his head.

"what?"

"Heading to the Netherworld?"

Many people were shocked when they heard this.

Going to the underworld is no different from committing suicide.

At this time, many people had already guessed why Zi Yaqin wanted to go to the netherworld. In addition to admiration, they were also moved...

And Feng Qingyan sent him away for hundreds of miles.

"Brother Feng, please don't send me off any further. If you do, we will end up in the underworld."

Zi Yaqin shook her head.

"Send another one."

Feng Qingyan Road.

A thousand miles away from Zangshan Academy, Zi Yaqin looked at a farewell pavilion outside and said, "Brother Feng, we have already seen you off a thousand miles, please don't see me off again."

Feng Qingyan got off the ox cart and bowed, saying, "Have a safe journey, young master."

"Qin, thank you, sir."

Zi Yaqin got off the ox cart and bowed down the road.

Under the farewell pavilion on the side of the road, the two of them greeted each other. Even the drivers Mu Jin and Di Tang got off the ox cart, came behind Zi Yaqin, and bowed deeply to Feng Qingyan.

After a moment, the two men accepted the gifts and straightened up, but Zi Yaqin bowed again before walking back to the ox cart.

Feng Qingyan watched the oxcart going away, and sang softly: "Outside the long pavilion, beside the ancient road, the grass is green and endless. The evening wind blows the willows, the sound of the flute fades, and the setting sun shines beyond the mountains. At the end of the sky, at the corner of the earth, half of my friends are gone. A pot of muddy wine to end my remaining joy, don't dream of the cold tonight."

"Outside the long pavilion, beside the ancient road, the grass is green and endless. I ask you when you will come back, and when you come, don't hesitate. At the end of the sky and the corner of the earth, half of my friends are gone. It is rare to be together in life, but there are many separations."

The singing floats on the ancient road.

The setting sun gradually fell behind the mountain, turning the sky and the earth into a dark golden color.

Zi Yaqin, who heard the singing, got off the ox cart and bowed in the direction of Feng Qingyan. She did not accept the gift and got back on the ox cart until the singing stopped.

"The song sung by the gentleman is so beautiful..."

Hibiscus whispered.
