Mixed in the heavens, merits and virtues become immortals

Chapter 454 My Brother-in-Law Has the Appearance of a Confucian Sage
"A thousand miles of yellow clouds darken the daytime."

"The north wind blows, geese fly, and snow falls in abundance."

"Do not worry that you will have no friends on the road ahead."

"Who in the world does not know you?"

At the dinner table, Xu Qi'an was pretentiously copying poems, which shocked Xu Pingzhi, Xu Xinnian, Xu Lingyue, and even his aunt. This pleased Xu Qi'an, and he looked at Gu Qing, only to find that Gu Qing's expression was calm and composed.

"Didn't you appreciate the beauty of this poem?"

Xu Qi'an asked with a smile.

Gu Qing shook his head and said, "What I learned in the mountains were the arts of playing the zither, chess, calligraphy, and painting, not poetry and songs."

Even so, Xu Qi'an still felt something was off.

Gu Qing sat calmly to one side. In "The Great Feng Night Watchman", Xu Qi'an liked to create a false identity and then watch people be publicly executed. Gu Qing did not expose him at this time, but waited for the right time in the future to expose his identity as a transmigrator and execute Xu Qi'an, the plagiarist.

Xu Xinnian, standing to the side with a satisfied expression, said, "Tomorrow I will take this poem to that senior who is serving in Qingzhou, and I am sure he will appreciate it." After saying this, Xu Xinnian looked at Gu Qing and said, "I will introduce you to him then."

Gu Qing's extraordinary talent would be appreciated by the great scholars of Yunlu Academy.

Gu Qing nodded demurely beside her and said, "Lingyue is going shopping with me tomorrow."

These words made the Xu family lose their appetite; it was really too early for Xu Lingyue to be in a relationship at her age.

“Ning Yan…”

Xu Pingzhi shouted.

Xu Qi'an, who was standing nearby, nodded knowingly and said, "I'll go with them tomorrow."

It was November, and the weather was freezing cold. After getting up, Gu Qing ignored the cold water and calmly washed up. Her calm demeanor amazed Xu Qi'an, who came over and asked curiously, "Don't you feel cold?"

Gu Qing shook his head and said innocently, "Master said that this is called 'young man sleeping on a cold kang,' which relies entirely on strong fire."

Such words exist in this world?

Xu Qi'an was curious but kept it to himself. He walked down the street with Gu Qing, Xu Lingyue, and Xu Lingyin, chatting with Gu Qing and trying to uncover more about her past. However, Gu Qing had experienced the Legend of Sword and Fairy 4 and knew what true "purity" looked like from her son Tianhe. Therefore, her words and expressions were flawless.

As he walked, Xu Qi'an's luck kicked in, allowing him to find silver twice.

Gu Qing watched quietly from the side. Xu Qi'an carried the nation's fortune, which was extremely lucky. It was precisely because of this national fortune that his father, who was hiding in the shadows, kept scheming against him, wanting to take Xu Qi'an out and absorb his fortune. The beginning of the Great Feng Night Watchman and the beginning of Xu Qi'an's imprisonment were the result of his father's scheming.

"Guiyue Tower".

Xu Qi'an walked to the front of a brothel and looked at the women dressed in colorful clothes. He couldn't help but recite a poem: "When I was young, I wore a thin blue robe, rode a horse and leaned against a bridge, and red sleeves beckoned to me all over the building."

After listening to these words and reflecting on them, Xu Lingyue said, "Brother's poetic talent should be used in the right way." After saying that, Xu Lingyue looked at Gu Qing, afraid that Gu Qing would be led astray.

"Lingyue, what do they do?"

Gu Qing pretended to be innocent on the side.
Xu Qi'an speaks in a simple and blunt manner.

Upon seeing this, Xu Lingyue scolded and pulled Gu Qing away first. Xu Qi'an smiled behind them and was about to follow when suddenly a horse galloped out and charged straight at Gu Qing and Xu Lingyue.

Xu Qi'an's expression changed drastically upon seeing this. He leaped forward, now at the ninth rank of martial arts, possessing agility and stamina. However, the horse was too fast, and although Xu Qi'an leaped forward rapidly, he felt powerless. Xu Lingyue, beside Gu Qing, looked at the tall horse that had suddenly appeared and the lecherous smile on the face of the rich young master on it. She felt the distance was too close, and there was no way to avoid it. One eye was already half-closed, awaiting the moment of impact.

"boom!"

The horse reached Gu Qing and suddenly came to a halt on all fours, coming to a sudden stop while galloping at high speed. The rich young master on the horse then flipped over and fell straight to the ground, passing right over Gu Qing and Xu Lingyue's heads.

coincidence?

Xu Qi'an saw this scene and had doubts in his heart, but he knew it was not the time to ask questions, so he quickly stepped forward to protect Gu Qing and Xu Lingyue.

"Damn it, take them down!"

The young master lying on the ground, his head bleeding from the fall, roared angrily. Just then, several attendants jumped out from the left and right, each one highly skilled in martial arts, and charged straight at Xu Qi'an.

Coming for me?

Xu Qi'an's heart skipped a beat, and he quickly looked at Gu Qing and Xu Lingyue, saying, "You two hurry up and go to the yamen to beat the drum, and tell them to go to Zhu Baihu's house to invite Second Uncle." As he spoke, Xu Qi'an pushed Gu Qing and Xu Lingyue, wanting the two of them to take Xu Lingyin away first.

"no!"

Gu Qing stood still, stubbornly saying, "Come together if you want to come, leave together if you want to leave!"

Hearing this, Xu Qi'an felt a warmth in his heart, thinking that Gu Qing was quite loyal and could be considered his brother-in-law. However, he quickly gestured for Xu Lingyue to leave first, and then said to Gu Qing, "There are too many officials in the capital, and their power is deeply entrenched. The only one who can defeat this second-generation official is someone in the officialdom. This involves political struggles, and the waters are very deep. You are just an ordinary person and cannot get involved in this."

As he spoke, Xu Qi'an pushed Gu Qing again.

Meanwhile, the young master's entourage rushed over. Xu Qi'an dodged and weaved, trying to create space for Gu Qing to leave. However, after a couple of attempts, he realized that as long as he moved a little further away from Gu Qing, the entourage would ignore him.

Their goal is themselves.

"I don't understand what you're saying."

Gu Qing said from the side, "I knew that yesterday's book said that Confucian scholars are approachable but not coerced, approachable but not forced, and can be killed but not humiliated. I also know that we came together and should go back together. I was also very angry when that person tried to hit the bell on his horse."

The young master, whose head was bleeding from the fall, looked at Gu Qing and shouted, "Nonsense, utter nonsense! Take him away too!"

The two remaining attendants beside the young master immediately ran towards Gu Qing.

"Don't resist!"

Xu Qi'an prepared to stop, and at the same time called out to Gu Qing, "We can deal with the rest at the yamen to avoid suffering direct losses."

"This is the first time in my life I have ever rebelled."

Gu Qing clenched his fist.

Upon hearing this, Xu Qi'an suddenly turned his head and saw that Gu Qing was radiating a white aura of righteousness, which instantly filled the entire area. The attendants at the ninth level of martial arts were all suppressed by this aura of righteousness, and even the young master who was shouting about taking people was unable to move due to this aura of righteousness.

Qiao... Qiao Ling'er?

Xu Qi'an's lips twitched as he thought of the reincarnation of Buddha in the sequel to Journey to the West.

Could it be that my brother-in-law has the bearing of a Confucian sage?
