Chapter 42: Honest and aboveboard, liking married women (seeking follow-up reading)
After Lu Chengfeng, Tan Xiong and the others said goodbye and left, they quickly headed towards Bixiao Peak. Although they had only been married for a short time, they had already felt concerned about each other without realizing it.
He was concerned about the woman's every smile, joy, anger, sorrow and happiness.
However, just when he reached halfway up the mountain, he met Cai Zhang who was rushing down the mountain. When he saw Lu Chengfeng, a look of surprise immediately appeared on his face.
"Big Brother, you're back?"
Lu Chengfeng's expression changed, and his heart pounded twice, "Junior brother, do you have any news?"
"That's right." Cai Zhang nodded. "I thought you might come back someday, so I left a message for the old woman on the mountain. I didn't expect to run into you."
Lu Chengfeng took a deep breath and suppressed his excitement and anxiety, "Junior Brother, what did Madam Qiu Tong say?"
Cai Zhang smiled and said, "That lady said she wanted to meet him to see if they were compatible. In my opinion, she is clearly interested in him. With your appearance, are you afraid that she will not be attracted to you after they meet?"
Lu Chengfeng couldn't help but feel a little happy. If they really had no intention of meeting, they would not have made an appointment. This really made her think about it. He quickly asked, "Did Madam Qiu Tong say when to meet?"
Cai Zhang replied, "She knows that Senior Brother is going to participate in the beast tide suppression, so she asked you to send her a message when you are free, and we can arrange a time then."
Lu Chengfeng thought of the strength shown by the other four disciples in the Soul-Breaking Swamp today. How could he sit still? He said impatiently, "If that's the case, let's go meet him now."
"Haha, Senior Brother, you are really impatient." Cai Zhang finally couldn't hold back his laughter: "You have already arrived at the doorstep and you didn't even go in to take a look, not to mention changing into clean clothes. You want to go directly to meet other ladies wearing armor..."
Lu Chengfeng finally came to his senses, but when he looked at the sky which was already getting dark, he realized that if he went back again, it would be dark by the time he arrived at Houdefang.
Madam Qiu Tong is a woman after all, and a widow at that. It would definitely be inappropriate for her to go out in the middle of the night to meet a man. It would easily lead to gossip, so I don't think she would come out.
If I go there now, maybe I can meet him/her. If we can settle the matter, then it will be a success.
All kinds of thoughts flashed through his mind, and Lu Chengfeng immediately made up his mind. He pulled Cai Zhang's sleeve and walked down the mountain. "Brother, don't laugh at me. I really can't wait. As long as I can get a promise from the beautiful woman, what does it matter if I pass by her house without entering?"
"Come with me!"
Cai Zhang had never seen his senior brother like this before, so he just thought it was funny. As he was being dragged away, he laughed and said, "So senior brother really likes married women. I didn't believe it at first, but now I have to believe it, haha!"
"It's a man's nature. What's the big deal if he likes women?" Lu Chengfeng was embarrassed by his smile and said stubbornly, "I only like widows, not married women. I am aboveboard..."
“Hahaha!” Cai Zhang suddenly stopped where he was, laughing so hard that he couldn’t straighten his back. “You are indeed worthy of being my senior brother, a role model among men. I am far inferior to you.”
"You are so upright and like other people's wives. I admire you!"
Lu Chengfeng's face darkened. "Stop talking nonsense and follow me. If you delay me and prevent me from seeing Madam Qiu Tong, I will make you suffer."
Cai Zhang immediately raised his hands and cried out, "Brother, you're demolishing the bridge before you even cross it. You haven't even got your wife yet, but you're going to punish the matchmaker who set you up?"
Lu Chengfeng held his forehead helplessly, wondering why he had never noticed that his junior brother was such a chatterbox in the past.
He placed his right hand on Cai Zhang's arm, lifted him up with force, and pulled him forward quickly. As the speed suddenly increased, Cai Zhang, who was still talking, was immediately filled with wind.
"... Senior... Brother... You are... seeking revenge..." "When it is done, Senior Brother, I will give you three Bi Bo Dan."
"Really?" Cai Zhang couldn't help but get excited, his eyes widened, "How can I be embarrassed about this?"
Bi Bo Dan is a superior elixir that assists in the practice of Bi Hai Qing Tian Gong. The medicinal materials for making a furnace of elixirs cost over a thousand taels of silver, and each furnace can only produce a maximum of nine pills.
This elixir has always been in short supply. On Bixiao Peak, only Zhao Changzhen went there to personally refine the elixir, and he only occasionally gave away one or two pills. Even Lu Chengfeng only got three pills in the past seven years, not to mention a registered disciple like Cai Zhang.
Lu Chengfeng looked at him, who was about to pretend to refuse, and almost rolled his eyes, "If you don't want to, forget it..."
"Yes, yes, yes. Since it's a gift from you, senior brother, how can I refuse it? Thank you for the gift, senior brother." As he spoke, he couldn't help laughing.
Lu Chengfeng shook his head. There were twelve Bi Bo Dan among Zhao Changzhen's relics. At that time, he, Zhao Ling'er, Su Wanqing and Li Mo each got three, but they had never been used.
If I could really marry Madam Qiu Tong, what would three pills mean to me? !
After getting the benefit, Cai Zhang finally stopped talking and obediently followed Lu Chengfeng to Houdefang.
When we arrived at the place, the sky was still dark, with only the sunset glow dyeing the sky red. Birds flew across the sky from time to time, and the evening breeze made the branches and leaves of the two large willow trees outside Houdefang dance.
"Brother, please wait here for a moment. I have the token of the General Affairs Hall and Madam Qiu Tong's instructions, so I can enter. Other disciples cannot enter without permission." Cai Zhang and Lu Chengfeng gave each other instructions and hurried to Houdefang.
Lu Chengfeng watched him leave, took two deep breaths, calmed his somewhat anxious mentality, then moved away from the aisle and stood under the big willow tree.
He was wearing a suit of black armor made of dark iron, his hair was tied up with a copper crown, his body was stained with blood and dirt, and there was even some residual demonic aura, making him look murderous.
At this moment, he was standing with his sword in hand, looking handsome and tall, with an awe-inspiring cold and murderous aura, which really attracted the attention of many passers-by.
Most of the people coming and going in Houdefang are the families of the elders and true disciples of the sect. Among them are many young men and women. Seeing his posture, there is yearning and admiration in their eyes.
"Sister, the armor he wears is so impressive. I want to be like him in the future!"
"That's the black iron heavy armor that only true disciples can wear, and it's only distributed when encircling and suppressing monsters. It's not something that ordinary people can wear."
"Then I will become a true disciple, just like Daddy!"
A sister and brother walked past Lu Chengfeng. The sister looked about fifteen or sixteen years old, and the brother was only seven or eight years old. The two talked in a low voice, and their words were carried to Lu Chengfeng's ears by the evening breeze.
Lu Chengfeng couldn't help but glance at the girl's back. Although she was only fifteen or sixteen years old, she was already very charming, with graceful curves, and very eye-catching.
Especially when she passed by him just now, the girl was wearing a veil, but her pair of dark green eyes were revealed, which was particularly mysterious.
As he was looking sideways, he suddenly found Cai Zhang jogging out from the stone archway entrance. His expression immediately changed and he quickly walked towards him.
