The Great Seminary

Chapter 190 The Mad Beauty
Zhen Ciyun is one of the female students at Qingdou Academy.

I once traveled with Zhang Jiujiang to the southern regions of the Song and Ming dynasties with a group of classmates, and had met Zhang Gui a few times and exchanged about ten words with him.

However, the most eye-catching male student among the students at Qingdou was Gongsun Benxiao, the young master of the ancient martial arts family of Qulongchuan in Longbei, who was born with "old money".

For girls, it was more taboo to choose one: the academy's teacher, Shen Shijing, known as the "White Porcelain Immortal."

Zhang Gui found the others unremarkable, so he didn't have a deep impression of them, only recognizing their faces.

But looking at her now, Zhen Ciyun actually has a very elegant appearance, like a daisy just beginning to bloom; she is indeed a stunning beauty.

"Is it that even celestial beings can't see this, yet earthly beauties are showing their good looks?"

Tsk tsk tsk, it does seem like a 'little green tea' after all.

Zhang Gui thought to himself silently, but never showed any emotion.

Zhen Ciyun, however, blushed and curtsied, saying apologetically:
"Please don't be offended, young master."

My elder brother is a rebellious person. He has been reprimanded countless times by the elders in the family, and several of his dragon-skin horsewhips have been broken, yet he still does things his own way…”

"Sister, it's fine in the past, but this time I can't be considered acting recklessly."

Of course, someone who might become your brother-in-law in the future has to…”

"Brother, what do you 'need'?"

Zhen Ciyun's tone changed, and the blush on her pale face vanished without a trace. She asked indifferently.

The eldest brother of the Zhen family blinked, then laughed heartily as if nothing had happened.
"I feel I should apologize to Zhang Zhengtao as well."

Zhang Zhengtao, I am Zhen Bailu Sha, Qiutang, Sijitang, Zhen Family of Jinling Flower Fish Restaurant. Greetings.

Because I am a bold and martial arts enthusiast, I always want to ambush any young heroes of my age I encounter, to see if I can succeed.

Even if I succeeded, the force I used would only be enough to flick someone's forehead; it would just be a greeting.

Please forgive me, please forgive me, farewell, farewell.

He clasped his hands repeatedly, nodded his head several times like a roly-poly toy, then turned into a faint floral fragrance and disappeared without a trace.

Last night, Zhang Gui's mind was already in turmoil after being "shoved in the head" by Zhang Jiuqing. Today, he encountered such a strange person, leaving Zhang Gui speechless and at a loss for words.

“Young master, actually, my visit to Pingyang Town this time is different from others; I'm here for a blind date.”

Wait a minute, are you crazy?

Before Zhen Ciyun could speak so directly and bluntly, she had already anticipated countless possible reactions from Zhang Gui.

But unexpectedly, he suddenly became clever again and asked a question in return.

I can only ask in return:

"What does this mean, young master?"

"Your figure and appearance are slightly below the very best, with an elegant temperament like a chrysanthemum, and you are a noble lady from a distinguished family."

She would say those words to a man she had only met a few times.

In my opinion, there's only one possibility: you're a 'lunatic'.

Do you understand "crazy person"? It means someone who's crazy, a lunatic, or has a mental disorder.

I would never fall in love with a crazy, beautiful woman.

Even for a man as loving as me, this is far too much.

So please forgive me, please forgive me, farewell, farewell.

After saying that, Zhang Gui completely ignored Zhen Ciyun and activated the Divine Condensation 'Zongheng Ruyi' within his body.

With a swift leap, he covered hundreds of steps and strolled leisurely into the 'Da Gui Grocery and Sauce Shop' at the Pingyang Town Wharf.

on the beach.

Zhen Ciyun stared dumbfounded at the spot where Zhang Gui had just stood, completely dumbfounded.

A delicate fragrance wafted from behind. Zhen Bailu suddenly appeared behind her, gesturing excitedly:

"Hahaha, what a crazy beauty! I can't find any fault with such a comment."

This Zhang Zheng is truly insightful and perceptive; his ability to judge people and situations is unparalleled!

"He's blind, do you want to go blind too?"

Zhen Ciyun snapped out of her daze, a glint of light flashing in her eyes, and said softly without expression.

Zhen Bailu immediately stopped smiling and changed the subject.
"Sister, Zhang Gui comes from humble origins and is cunning and treacherous in his dealings with others."

I suspect that your mention of a 'blind date' just now gave him away, prompting him to use a feigned indifference tactic…

"Would your family use the 'playing hard to get' tactic to praise a woman, saying that her 'figure and appearance are only one or two grades below the absolute best'?"

"That's definitely a huge flaw in what I said, hahaha."

Zhen Ciyun, I really can't hold back anymore. If you're going to seal my 'eye perception', then so be it.

Anyway, it's just a day of aimless wandering.

But this Zhang Zhengtao, Zhang Zhengtao, I have to give him a big thumbs up.

"A kid who can be compared to Zhang Jiuqing in the countryside is indeed extraordinary, hahaha..."

"He is certainly somewhat different from others."

When I first met him, he seemed pretty much the same as the rumors.

He is an extremely lucky person, who is quite fortunate. His ancient bloodline has been nurtured by divine power without being deliberately explored, and he also has a great talent for cultivation.

But when they arrived at his fiefdom of Zhihai Town, they discovered that he actually had no interest in power.

Secondly, they dislike money;
He does not covet beauty.

All his actions were actually for the sake of 'carefree life'.

When the port was opened and the shogunate was established, the initial steps were left to others to take care of. As long as they weren't cheated, it didn't matter if most of the profits were shared.

He then went to the Outer Ocean to do business with the Xihe people, and it is said that he even forcibly seized the sacred artifact of the Nanchi people.

When his friend asked for his help, he not only generously gave him over 100,000 taels of silver with a hearty laugh, but also personally traveled across the ocean to handle the matter perfectly.

The potential profits were so great that Gongsun Benxiao even went so far as to kill several of Zhang Gui's subordinates in order to get a share of the spoils.

But if you say he was clever, he really didn't want Gongsun Benxiao to take a few lives...

"Hey, hey, little sister, you don't actually have feelings for this Zhang Zhengtao, do you?"

Zhen Ciyun stopped talking, seemingly surprised that she had inexplicably revealed so much of her innermost thoughts.

Suddenly, he turned his head and glared fiercely at Zhen Bailu. His eyes blinked, revealing a ghostly light.

"Hey, hey, Zhen Ciyun, how could you really seal my 'eyesight'? Are you even trying to be reasonable?!"
Even though you were the one who got rejected, you took the initiative to ramble on and on to me out of frustration.

In the end, they blamed me…

Hearing her most unreliable yet most reliable elder brother in the clan still spouting nonsense, Zhen Ciyun opened her cherry-like mouth, stuck out her fragrant tongue, and bit it.

Zhen Bailu's tongue sense was instantly severed, and she could no longer utter a sound.

In the distance, at 'Da Gui Grocery and Sauce Shop'.

After chatting with his mother for a while, Zhang Gui slowly walked to the front door, eating one bite of each pancake rolled with vegetables and shrimp paste.

Looking in the direction where Zhen Ciyun had just stood, he asked the waiter who was sweeping in front of the door:

"Ah Yun, did you see me chatting with a girl on the beach over there just now?"

"No, Brother Da Gui, you just suddenly appeared in front of the shop in a flash."

Many people were quite startled.
