Borrowing a sword

Chapter 34 Xu Ziqing's "Metamorphosis" (Third update! Requesting monthly votes!)

Early this morning, the handyman Xu Ziqing got up to work.

Liu Tianfeng's courtyard is different from Niu Yuanshan's small courtyard; it is larger and more luxurious.

Niu Yuanshan's elegant courtyard only had four servants, while the Liu family's courtyard had a full 15 servants!
Yesterday, the housekeeper hired three new people.

Xu Ziqing was among these three.

Since he's new, he'll definitely have to do the hardest, most tiring, and dirtiest work.

All the residences of the Taoist sect have small dust-removing arrays.

This means that even if you are away from home for a long time, your home will not be dusty when you return.

Apart from that, it doesn't require much cleaning under normal circumstances.

However, this is limited to dust removal.

It is conceivable that the area Xu Ziqing, this new handyman, was responsible for must include the master's outhouse.

"I hate it!" The handsome young man, who had covered his mouth and nose with a strip of cloth, cursed inwardly as he worked hard.

He hated the storyteller for toying with his feelings.

"I'm stupid, really."

"I actually believed that if I went to Biyouping in Wumeng Mountain, a master would really come down the mountain to pick me up."

"Heh, I'm so stupid, really." He began to feel sorry for himself.

On that night of torrential rain, he stood in the rain for so long at the foot of Wumeng Mountain that he was completely drenched and lost his mind.

Xu Ziqing, Xu Ziqing, although all sorts of strange encounters and opportunities have been passed down in the Xuanhuang Realm, how could you be so ridiculous as to think that such a great thing would suddenly fall on your head?
You're just a worthless pseudo-spiritual embryo!

What gives you the right?!

Just because you've been a swordsmanship prodigy since childhood, and can learn all the sword moves of ordinary martial arts, you arrogantly think you can become an unparalleled swordsman.

"Wake up! Wake up!" He gave a bitter smile that night.

What good is it if you master all the sword techniques of ordinary people?

They are no match for true cultivators.
"Father, Mother, Grandmother, Little Sister, when will I be able to avenge you?" Xu Ziqing looked at the night sky after the rain stopped and muttered to himself at the foot of Wumeng Mountain.

Despite his handsome features and androgynous appearance, he has been practicing swordsmanship since childhood, giving him a physical ability far superior to the average person.

Therefore, even after being soaked in the rain for so long, only his lips turned white, and he was otherwise unharmed.

The trembling was simply due to extreme anger.

Xu Ziqing is an orphan who has lost both parents and is burdened with a deep-seated blood feud; he is practically the perfect protagonist template.

The image of the storyteller reappeared in his mind once again.

He was so ordinary-looking, yet his mannerisms and demeanor were so flamboyant and vain.

At first, when Xu Ziqing saw him disappear from the spot after he finished speaking, she thought he was a hermit master who lived a carefree life.

Now that he had confirmed that the other party's "playing the game" project was to toy with him, Xu Ziqing, he felt that this storyteller looked like a heretic!

On this night when the rain had stopped, he roared to vent his emotions. Then, the handsome young man bit his lip hard, almost drawing blood.

After regaining his senses, he looked at the misty, cloud-shrouded [Mountain Beyond Mountain].

The young man secretly vowed that since he had already come this far, he would risk his life and pay any price to enter the Daoist sect!

After daybreak, he began to take action.

Unexpectedly, by sheer chance, he actually found a way.

The steward of Liu Tianfeng's household needs to hire three new servants.

"What a coincidence? They're hiring handymen today?" Xu Ziqing exclaimed excitedly.

Never mind, a menial job is fine, I'll go to the Taoist sect first!
But is it really just a coincidence?
Don't forget, someone was also sent here by the "organization" at this time, just to be a handyman on the mountain!

Thus began Xu Ziqing's "Metamorphosis".

Because he was so strikingly handsome, with delicate features, he was anything but tall and dashing; a typical man with feminine features, exuding an air of nonchalance. Therefore, the Liu family's butler looked at him with a rather strange expression. —What a delicate, beautiful young man!
What's wrong with being a little eccentric when you're middle-aged?
Xu Ziqing was insightful; how could she not understand the meaning behind those eyes?

He never imagined that coming to the Taoist sect as a handyman would lead to such a perilous situation!

Today, after finishing a bunch of work, he was summoned by the butler to a certain gathering place.

A group of servants began carrying the gifts, and together with Master Liu and his young master, they headed to the small bamboo house.

Along the way, many outer disciples respectfully bowed to Steward Liu, and then looked at the pile of gifts with sidelong glances.

Xu Ziqing looked at their robes and the outer gate tokens hanging at their waists, feeling extremely envious.

He couldn't help but look down at the servant's clothes he was wearing. Because of the sensitive pride of a young man, even though no one recognized him, he kept his head down the whole way, keeping it buried.

After arriving at the bamboo house, he kept his head down the whole time.

In a brief moment, he overheard a conversation between the master and a young man, and couldn't help but look up at the other person.

This man was handsome and extraordinary.

He is the kind of handsome guy with typical bone structure.

Her brow bone was slightly high, and the tail of her eyebrow was slightly upturned, giving her the legendary effect of having her brow bone cover her eyes, making her dark eyes even more profound.

He has a high nose bridge, well-defined facial features, and a perfectly sculpted jawline.

A few loose strands of hair fell across her forehead, adding to her unrestrained and carefree demeanor.

In addition, Chu Huaixu's broad shoulders and narrow waist made his robes look very good, without giving him a frail feeling like thin paper.

Whether it's demeanor or temperament, there's nothing to criticize.

The sunlight shone on him, and Xu Ziqing was stunned.

Because he looked like a girl since he was a child, and was always ridiculed by his peers for looking effeminate, he would always silently pay attention to tall and handsome men, and feel extremely envious and longing for them.

Over time, he paid even more attention to these kinds of people than to women.

That's why, even though Chu Huaixu was standing next to the stunningly beautiful Han Shuangjiang, his attention was first drawn to her.

Xu Ziqing couldn't understand how there could be such a charming man in the world.

I just saw him with a smile on his face and the corners of his mouth, calmly and confidently chatting with the steward, his demeanor was excellent.

After a few seconds of stunned silence, the sensitive boy once again lowered his head deeply because of his pride.

Then, things took an inexplicable turn.

Liu Tianfeng was quite certain that when he first asked Chu Huaixu if he needed any servants, judging from his expression and the right hand that was already raised, it was clear that he was going to politely decline.

It's understandable that living with such a stunning beauty would bring more trouble with the addition of a third party.

The old man had been through it all; how could he not know the stirrings of youth?

But a bizarre scene still unfolded.

Chu Huaixu glanced at him casually, but his gaze was immediately drawn to the short, handsome servant.

He immediately shouted, "I want him!"

It even seemed a bit too eager?
Everyone, including Han Shuangjiang, focused their attention.

Xu Ziqing panicked instantly, and almost dropped the gifts in her hands.

"Huh? Me?" He didn't expect this exceptionally handsome man to be pointing at him.

His gaze was so resolute!
—I've decided on you!

Xu Ziqing's heart began to race uncontrollably. She couldn't understand how her life's circumstances could become so unpredictable in such a short time.

Then, a scene he had experienced countless times and was extremely familiar with unfolded.

Xu Ziqing clearly felt that everyone's gaze first fell on his face, then fixed on his Adam's apple, and finally on his chest.
