Chapter 1206 A Lot of Vitality
Fu Sifeng, the master of Yinfeng Valley, was sitting at the door playing the piano.
The sound of the piano gives off a sense of loss.
Lu Zhaoling actually didn’t know if she heard it correctly or not. She didn’t know how to play this kind of piano. But the sound of the piano made her inevitably feel a little sad.
There is no wall around where the Lord of Yinfeng Valley lives. There is a green area in front and a stone road leading directly to the door of the house.
The door was covered with a wooden board that had been polished to be very smooth and oily, and he was currently sitting at the door with a round cushion.
A musical table and a plain musical instrument.
The person playing the zither was wearing a sky-blue robe and a green jade hairpin in his hair. His wide sleeves fluttered lightly and his ten slender fingers.
At this moment, he lowered his eyebrows and eyes, looked a little thin, with an elegant temperament, and had a bit of the air of a hermit.
This was because Zhou Shiyue had told Lu Zhaoling when he was still far away that this was his master.
Otherwise, Lu Zhaoling would still think that the Master of Yinfeng Valley was a white-haired old man.
Maybe it was because of his second uncle Zhou Shiyue who wanted to kill him and his junior sister Yu who was said to be innocent and kind at ordinary times but selfish and cowardly when faced with life-and-death situations, Lu Zhaoling had no good feelings towards Yinfeng Valley.
She was even ready to fight at any time when she entered the valley.
But now standing in front of the Lord of Yinfeng Valley, all that disgust and rejection was gone.
As they approached, the Lord of Yinfeng Valley had already seen them, but he did not stop playing his zither immediately.
As they stood in front of the steps, he finished playing the song, then lightly pressed his hands on the strings and looked up at them.
His eyebrows are like distant mountains, his facial features are simple, his lips are thin, and his face is thin. He looks to be in his early forties.
But above his head, there was a cloud of white mist lingering, as white as a cloud scooped out from the sea of clouds in the early morning.
Looks so pure.
Lu Zhaoling was really shocked.
Because it was the first time she saw so much vitality!
This person will live a long life!
No, he is probably over 40 now.
She subconsciously wanted to look at the face of the Master of Yinfeng Valley, but before she could do so, the Master had already spoken.
"Little girl, life and death are up to fate."
Although he didn't say it very clearly, Lu Zhaoling already understood what he meant.
He knew that she was looking at his face, so he politely rejected her inquiry.
His voice sounds very gentle and pleasant.
There is a kind of person who, just by opening his mouth to speak, can make people feel his cultivation and knowledge.
The Lord of Yinfeng Valley seems to be this kind of person.
Lu Zhaoling also clenched his fists and apologized generously, "I'm sorry, I was too quick to act."
A quick glance...
The Lord of Yinfeng Valley chuckled.
"So, you have a very strong talent."
"Yeah, it's pretty good." Lu Zhaoling nodded.
She suddenly understood why Zhou Shiyue was willing to take this man as his teacher when he was a child.
You know, Zhou Shiyue has been a little bully since he was young. He would not even accept a great general like General Qiu as his apprentice.
The Lord of Yinfeng Valley must have something that can convince him.
"I met the master."
Zhou Shiyue then formally saluted the Master of Yinfeng Valley and introduced Lu Zhaoling.
"She is my soon-to-be-married princess, Lu Zhaoling."
"Zhao Ling has met the Valley Master."
Lu Zhaoling also saluted again.
The Lord of Yinfeng Valley stood up, and Lu Zhaoling then realized how tall he was.
The plain robe looked very good on him.
He walked up to them, reached out and patted Zhou Shiyue's shoulder, "Ayue has really grown up."
"Can I call you Zhao Ling?" He looked at Lu Zhaoling again.
"can."
"Come on, come in."
The Lord of Yinfeng Valley turned around and led them into the house.
His room is also very simple and elegant, and spotless everywhere.
What caught Lu Zhaoling's attention at first sight was a painting hanging on the wall. The painting showed the back of a woman walking on a mountain path.
But the woman was wearing a red dress with golden dots painted on it, making it look as if the dress was inlaid with many precious pearls.
I don’t know why, but as Lu Zhaoling looked at it, she thought of Cui Liyue’s wedding dress.
The Lord of Yinfeng Valley asked them to sit down and went into the inner room.
Said he had gifts for them.
Zhou Shiyue walked over to Lu Zhaoling, looked at the painting with her, and whispered, "They all say this is Master's sweetheart."
As soon as he finished speaking, the Lord of Yinfeng Valley came out from the inner room, holding a rosewood box.
He chuckled and said, "Don't listen to their nonsense. This painting was left to me by an old friend of mine. The woman in it should be his wife."
Lu Zhaoling was surprised.
Even Zhou Shiyue was stunned for a moment.
"Isn't this Bai Qiuyu?"
"Qiuyu?"
In the past, they often said that Bai Qiuyu was the master's sweetheart. That Bai Qiuyu had once been possessed by "Madam". When Zhou Shiyue was hit by a curse when he was a child, they once thought it was Bai Qiuyu's doing.
"Qiuyu and I had feelings for each other when we were young, but later our families encountered changes. When we met again after being separated for several years, our minds were somewhat different."
The Lord of Yinfeng Valley told them the truth very frankly.
"At that time, I felt that being single was more comfortable and relaxed, and I had already given up the idea of getting married and having children."
"Qiuyu can understand, so we just agreed to be close friends."
Lu Zhaoling opened his eyes wide.
It seems that their ideas are quite advanced.
The Lord of Yinfeng Valley is a bachelor.
Zhou Shiyue held her hand and drew her attention back.
The Master of Yinfeng Valley chuckled and said, "Of course, it is also a good thing that you two can understand each other and walk together on the road of life."
It seemed that his disciple had completely set his heart on this girl, and he was afraid that this girl would be led astray by his thoughts of wanting someone else.
"This is my gift to you."
He put the wooden box on the table and motioned Lu Zhaoling to come over and take a look.
When Lu Zhaoling saw the pear blossom carved on the box, her eyes widened.
How come this carving and these pear blossoms are so similar to those in her mother’s dowry?
Zhou Shiyue also noticed it.
He was the one who helped Lu Zhaoling move those things away, so of course he had seen them.
"Master, where did you buy this box?"
"This was given to me by my good friend, and so are the things inside."
"Valley Master, what is the name of your friend?" Lu Zhaoling's heart suddenly tightened.
"When I met him, he didn't even remember his last name. In his free time, he was always carving and sometimes painting. If you want to call him, call him Wuming."
Can't remember?
Lu Zhaoling and Zhou Shiyue looked at each other.
"Let's take a look first."
He opened the box.
Lu Zhaoling was almost blinded by the light.
This box of gold, jade, jewels, and glass beads contains some energy that is either bright yellow or brilliant gold.
