Wedding ceremony tomorrow

Chapter 91 Senior White's Enchanting Technique

The atmosphere at lunch was very pleasant.

After the meal, Dong Yun invited Luo Qingfeng to meet his cousin.

Luo Qingfeng politely declined and took his leave.

Back at Green Bamboo Garden, he exchanged a few words with Xiao Tao and then prepared to leave the mansion.

Just as they reached the garden leading to the back door, they suddenly encountered the two sisters picking flowers again.

"Young Master Luo, are you finally going to use connections?"

"We've been waiting for you for a long time!"

Without further ado, Xiaoduo and Xiaomei took the initiative to hold the flower basket and enthusiastically led the way.

Luo Qingfeng could only reply, "I already know the way."

The petite woman with the large chest immediately said, "No, you don't know the way! There are many forks in the road ahead. Without us sisters leading the way, Young Master Luo will definitely get lost."

Xiao Duo, who is tall and flat-chested, also said, "The garden is being renovated recently, and the original paths are all gone. Young Master Luo will definitely get lost if he goes alone."

To show that they had put in a lot of effort, the two sisters deliberately led him around several gardens before finally getting him to the back gate.

"Young Master Luo, what do you think? Isn't the road very complicated and difficult to walk?"

"We circled around several times before we finally got out."

"If it weren't for us sisters, you'd probably still be wandering around in the garden right now."

The two sisters were very pleased with themselves and were both trying to take credit; their intentions were quite obvious.

But now Luo Qingfeng is penniless.

He could only ask, "Would the two young ladies like some candied hawthorns?"

The two sisters nodded immediately, their eyes shining, and they were already swallowing hard.

Luo Qingfeng said, "But I'm currently short of money and have no silver left. How about you two ladies lend me some?"

The two sisters' eyes widened immediately.

We showed you the way, and not only did you not repay us, you actually asked us for money? How outrageous!

Luo Qingfeng quickly replied, "It's not much, just a few coins will do."

The two of them immediately looked distressed.

Xiao Mei said, "Our purses are all inside the house; we didn't bring them with us."

Xiao Duo asked with some doubt, "Does Young Master Luo really not have a single penny on him?"

Luo Qingfeng was a little embarrassed and could only say, "It's alright, I'll think of another way. Don't worry, ladies, I will definitely bring back candied hawthorns."

Only then did the two sisters' faces regain their bright smiles.

"Young Master Luo, we're waiting for you!"

Luo Qingfeng waved his hand, went out the back door, and headed directly towards the North Courtyard of the Demon Suppression Academy.

The streets were still bustling in the afternoon.

The shouts of vendors, the chatter of pedestrians, and the laughter of children made the whole street noisy yet full of a prosperous scene.

Luo Qingfeng turned left and right, circled around several times, and only entered the Demon Suppression Academy after seeing that no one was following him.

Upon arriving at the library, the main door was open.

Grandma Ning sat alone on a chair in the corner, her eyes closed, dozing off.

As soon as Luo Qingfeng entered, she immediately opened her eyes, looked at him coldly, and said, "So you know how to come back?"

Luo Qingfeng cupped his hands and said, "This disciple is going to do a mission."

Granny Ning snorted coldly: "You're already on a mission before the teams have even been assigned? Yesterday, when the new disciples gathered, everyone was being assigned teams. People came looking for you, but you weren't there, so they probably didn't assign you a team. Let's see what you do next."

Luo Qingfeng asked, "Can't I just join any team?"

Granny Ning said coldly, "You've only just been admitted, and you didn't even report for duty on your first day, ignoring the hospital rules. Which team would dare to hire you?"

Luo Qingfeng said nonchalantly, "If no one wants me, then I'll just stay in the library. Senior Bai will definitely want me anyway."

It's okay if he doesn't want it; he has somewhere else to go.

Grandma Ning immediately clicked her tongue and said, "Look at your shamelessness, lad. It's thicker than the soles of my shoes."

Luo Qingfeng said, "Grandma, this mission of mine may take a little longer than usual. I just took some time to come back today to tell you. Please help me inform Senior Bai later."

Granny Ning immediately said coldly, "Go up and say it yourself. I'm not helping you."

Luo Qingfeng asked, "Which floor is Senior Bai on?"

Grandma Ning closed her eyes and stopped speaking.

Luo Qingfeng glanced at her, then turned and went upstairs by himself.

It's not on the second floor, not on the third floor, and not on the fourth floor.

As Luo Qingfeng hesitated about whether to go up to the fifth floor, a familiar voice suddenly came from upstairs: "Come on up."

Luo Qingfeng then took off his shoes at the bottom of the stairs and climbed up.

Near the window, a beautiful woman dressed in a loose gray robe, exuding an air of nobility, sat quietly at a desk, flipping through the books in front of her.

Sunlight streamed through the window, mingling with the dim light in the room, outlining the woman's graceful and alluring figure.

Even just sitting there motionless, she naturally exudes a captivating and alluring charm.

"As expected of a descendant of the demon race..."

Luo Qingfeng thought to himself.

He bowed and walked over, cupping his hands in greeting, saying, "Senior Bai, I've come back to tell you...

"Kneel down!"

Before he could finish speaking, Bai Ruofei interrupted him calmly.

Luo Qingfeng was taken aback. He glanced at her cool yet charming face, hesitated for a moment, and then moved closer, squeezing in to sit down next to her.

Bai Ruofei turned her head, her cool eyes looking at him.

Luo Qingfeng was also looking at her.

The two locked eyes, remained silent for a few seconds, and then Luo Qingfeng said, "Senior Bai, you wouldn't really want me to kneel down, would you?"

Bai Ruofei said, "Yes, will you kneel or not?"

Luo Qingfeng shook his head: "I won't kneel."

The two stared at each other for a while longer.

Bai Ruofei pushed the book in front of him and said, "Translate this book, and you won't have to kneel. I can also forgive and forget about what happened when you were gone for so many days."

Luo Qingfeng glanced at the books in front of him.

It's much thinner than the previous tattered book, and it's complete, so translating it will be quick.

He dared not offend Nightingale since her matter was not yet settled.

He opened the book, looked at a page, and said, "Senior Bai, grind the ink."

Bai Ruofei looked at him coldly.

Luo Qingfeng turned his head, met her gaze, and said, "How about I grind the ink?"

Bai Ruofei said, "Your attitude is bad; it's like you're ordering a servant around."

Luo Qingfeng had no choice but to say again, "Senior Bai, would you please use your noble hands to grind ink for me?"

Bai Ruofei seemed to snort, then picked up the inkstone and ink stick that had been prepared, poured tea, and began grinding.

Luo Qingfeng carefully read the first page again before picking up his brush, dipping it in ink, and writing on the clean Xuan paper.

"what?"

When he reached the third page, he suddenly exclaimed in surprise, "Senior Bai, this seems to be a cultivation technique, and this technique..."

He immediately flipped open the book cover and glanced at it, but there was no name on it.

Bai Ruofei lowered her head and carefully ground the ink, saying calmly, "What's wrong with this cultivation technique?"

Luo Qingfeng looked at her and said, "This technique... seems to be bewitching."

Bai Ruofei paused in her hand holding the ink stick, then turned to look at him and said, "So what?"

Luo Qingfeng asked, "Where did Senior Bai obtain it?"

Bai Ruofei did not answer.

Luo Qingfeng said, "Senior Bai, you don't intend to cultivate this technique, do you? This is a harmful technique..."

Bai Ruofei's expression turned cold: "How do you know it's a harmful technique? Does practicing this technique necessarily mean harming others?"

Seeing that her expression was off, Luo Qingfeng didn't say anything more.

Bai Ruofei stared at him for a moment, then said calmly, "Write it. I don't cultivate; this is just..."

"Just what?"

Luo Qingfeng asked.

Bai Ruofei's gaze fell on the books in front of him, a hint of daze appearing on her face. She said, "I just... want to understand that person."

Luo Qingfeng was taken aback, then suddenly realized what was happening and said, "That...this cultivation technique, was it left behind by him?"

Bai Ruofei looked dazed and did not reply.

Luo Qingfeng glanced at her a few more times, but said nothing more. He could only pick up his brush, dip it in ink, and write.

The poor woman, that great demon must be her father.

She wanted to know everything her father had left behind, and it seemed that her father had given her little, or never, any fatherly love.

I don't even think they've ever met her.

Luo Qingfeng sighed inwardly, turned to the next page, and continued writing diligently.

The sun outside the window gradually began to set in the west.

By evening, he had finally finished carefully transcribing the entire book.

After the ink had dried, he carefully put the pages away one by one and solemnly handed them to the woman beside him. He wanted to say a few words of comfort, but fearing that it might backfire, he remained silent.

Bai Ruofei looked at him and asked, "Have you memorized this entire cultivation technique?"

Luo Qingfeng quickly said, "It's no use memorizing it. It says that only members of the demon race with demon blood can cultivate. Also, I won't tell anyone. I don't want to die."

Bai Ruofei gave him a deep look and said, "Are you going to stay away for a few more days?"

Upon hearing this, Luo Qingfeng looked helpless: "I don't know either, because I don't know when the mission will be completed."

Bai Ruofei pondered for a moment, then said, "Since you were able to come back, it means you can come back anytime, right?"

Luo Qingfeng was about to nod when he quickly shook his head and said, "No, I risked everything to come back this time. I can't come back next time. I can only come back after the mission is completed."

Bai Ruofei asked, "Are you sure?"

Luo Qingfeng said with absolute certainty, "I'm sure."

Bai Ruofei stared at him for a while, then took out a gleaming gold ingot from her sleeve and placed it on the table.

Luo Qingfeng was taken aback and asked, "Senior Bai, what... what are you doing?"

Bai Ruofei looked at him and said calmly, "When you come back next time, this gold ingot will be yours."

Luo Qingfeng was stunned for a moment before saying, "Senior Bai, a gentleman loves money, but he acquires it in a proper way. I am a cultivator, and I have taken a liking to Senior Bai since we first met, how could I..."

"When are you coming back?"

Bai Ruofei interrupted him.

Luo Qingfeng quickly said, "Could I leave now and return tonight?"

Bai Ruofei looked at him expressionlessly.

Luo Qingfeng's cheeks felt a little hot.

There was a brief silence.

Bai Ruofei said, "Then come back tonight. Come back every night from now on, every single day."

Luo Qingfeng's heart skipped a beat. "Really? You get gold every night?" he asked.

Bai Ruofei replied calmly, "Yes."

At this moment, Luo Qingfeng seemed to already see himself paying off all his debts, holding his head high, buying a luxury mansion, and raising a cute little maid with a youthful face...

Ok?

How can a person who cultivates himself be so vulgar?

But cultivators are still human beings; they need to eat meat, have food, clothing, shelter, and someone to warm their bed.

"Senior Bai, although I am very tempted, I feel that the mission is more important. Could you return during the day?"

Luo Qingfeng suppressed the fantasies in his heart.

The mission concerns Sister Nightingale, all the team members, and the safety of everyone in the Ningguo Mansion, especially at night when it is most dangerous. How could he abandon them for gold?

Bai Ruofei seemed to think for a moment before saying, "Okay."

Luo Qingfeng immediately replied, "It's a deal!"

Bai Ruofei looked down at the words on the Xuan paper on the table and ignored him.

Luo Qingfeng suppressed his excitement, stood up, cupped his hands in farewell, and said, "Then I will try to come back tomorrow afternoon."

Bai Ruofei remained silent.

Luo Qingfeng didn't bother her any further and took his leave.

As he walked briskly and cheerfully out of the library, Granny Ning came upstairs and said at the top of the stairs, "Miss, you've been far too lenient with that boy... In the past, who would dare sit next to you? They'd be dead the next moment. Also, how come you have so much gold?"

Bai Ruofei flipped through the manual in her hand and said calmly, "I don't have any gold."

Granny Ning was taken aback, and said, "Then..."

Bai Ruofei raised her head, looked at the gleaming gold ingot on the table, and gently pressed it with her slender finger. The gold suddenly shattered into powder. She said, "It's fake."

Grandma Ning looked completely bewildered.

Bai Ruofei continued to look down at the martial arts manual in her hand and said, "I lied to him."

She paused, then added, "It's his fault for getting my hands dirty."

Upon hearing this, Granny Ning's expression changed drastically, and she hurriedly asked, "How did it get dirty? How did that boy get Miss's hands dirty?"

His voice trembled, filled with murderous intent.

Bai Ruofei said calmly, "He asked me to grind the ink."

Grandma Ning: "..."

Immediately, Granny Ning exclaimed, "He absolutely deserves to be lied to! How dare he let Miss's noble, delicate hands grind ink for him! It's outrageous! Miss should have made him cry!"

Bai Ruofei lowered her head to read and hummed in agreement.

Luo Qingfeng left the North Courtyard, crossed the street, and went to Red Leaf Alley.

He was in a good mood.

As we entered the alleyway filled with red leaves and arrived at the entrance of the courtyard, just as we were about to raise our hands to knock, the gate suddenly creaked open.

Aya was still wearing that patched black dress, holding a sword in her hand, staring at him with a blank expression. She blinked her dark eyes, as if she thought she was seeing things.

Luo Qingfeng reached out and ruffled her hair, saying, "Aren't you going to invite me in?"

Aya wiped her head with her sleeve and stepped aside, seemingly disgusted by his hand.

Luo Qingfeng entered the courtyard and asked, "Where's Grandma?"

Aya glanced into the room.

Luo Qingfeng cut to the chase, saying, "I'm on a mission at a mansion with your sister, and we probably won't be back for a few days."

Aya nodded, indicating that she already knew.

Luo Qingfeng was taken aback and asked, "Sister Nightingale came back?"

Aya nodded again.

Luo Qingfeng nodded and said, "I should have thought of that. It's impossible for Sister Nightingale to stay away from home for so many days. If she came back, she would definitely tell you, right?"

Ah Ya neither nodded nor shook his head again.

Luo Qingfeng glanced into the house again, and seeing that his grandmother hadn't come out, he quickly stretched out his hand and said, "Aya, lend me some more silver."

Aya was taken aback.

Luo Qingfeng said smugly, "Lend me another tael, and tomorrow I can pay back all the money I owe you and your sister. I'll also pay back the interest."

Aya stared at him without moving.

Luo Qingfeng said, "Really, I'm not lying to you. I'll have money tomorrow, and it'll be gold. And not just tomorrow, but I'll have it all the time. I'll buy you candied hawthorns then, you can buy them every day if you want."

Aya lowered her head, remained silent for a while, then took out her small purse, took out a silver ingot, and handed it to him.

The little girl suddenly seemed unhappy.

Luo Qingfeng didn't think much of it, took the silver and said, "I'll come find you at this time tomorrow night, return the money, and buy you candied hawthorns. Remember to wait for me."

Aya kept her head down and ignored him.

Seeing that it was getting late, Luo Qingfeng didn't linger any longer and said, "Alright, I should go now. Remember to lock the door and cover yourself with the blankets tonight."

After saying that, he put away the silver and left in a hurry.

After his figure disappeared outside the door, the little girl, who had been looking down, slowly raised her head and looked outside. Her dark eyes looked somewhat sad.

"You're rich now...?"

The sun is setting on the horizon.

Luo Qingfeng took one tael of silver, first bought some cooked meat, then used the remaining few coins to buy some candied hawthorns. After putting them all into his storage bag, he headed towards Ningguo Mansion.

As soon as night fell, he entered the mansion.

In his small courtyard, the two sisters, Xiaoduo and Xiaomei, were already waiting, swallowing their saliva.

Dong Miaomiao actually came too.

The three maids, seeing that the third young lady had come alone, wondered what had happened to her, and stood anxiously to the side with their heads down, not daring to speak.

Xiao Duo and Xiao Mei wanted to leave, but they didn't dare to say anything.

Dong Miaomiao walked around the courtyard for a while with her hands behind her back, then went up to the corridor, opened the window, glanced at the room, and turned to say, "The bed is so small, are all three of you sleeping on it with the master every night? Won't it collapse?"

Xiao Duo and Xiao Mei blushed immediately and quickly explained.

Xiao Tao blushed as she explained.

After hearing the explanation, Dong Miaomiao, acting like a little adult, said, "I was wondering why you looked so frail and weak, yet you managed to sleep with three women in one night. It turns out there was only one. I overestimated you."

The three maids blushed and lowered their heads, not daring to utter another word.

Dong Miaomiao suddenly looked at Xiao Tao and asked, "Xiao Tao, is the master lecherous?"

Xiao Tao blushed and stammered, unsure how to answer.

Dong Miaomiao then asked, "Since you started dating him, how many times has he taken you?"

Xiao Tao blushed and said, "No...I didn't want it..."

Dong Miaomiao was taken aback upon hearing this and said, "You didn't want it? Really?"

Xiao Tao lowered her head and said, "This servant...this servant dares not lie."

Dong Miaomiao's eyes flashed, and a thoughtful look appeared between her brows. After a moment, she muttered to herself, "So, sir... is impotent..."

Just then, Luo Qingfeng entered through the entrance of the courtyard.
