Chapter 495 - 11: Ghost Temple
"Rare guest!"
Li Yingxuan had someone bring a chair and gestured for Fang Zheng to sit, speaking slowly:
"Since arriving in Zhaonan Prefecture, I’ve corresponded many times with Brother Fang over the years, yet we’ve had few opportunities to sit together."
"The Commandery Princess has many affairs to attend to, as a commoner, I dare not disturb." Fang Zheng politely cupped his hands.
"Alas!"
Li Yingxuan sighed softly:
"Though we rarely meet, we still share a longstanding camaraderie in spirit, and you saved Li Shu, so there’s no need for such politeness in front of me."
"Sit down, let’s talk."
"Thank you, Commandery Princess." Fang Zheng cupped his hands in response.
This polite demeanor, Li Yingxuan had long grown accustomed to, even if she wished to treat others as friends, no one dared reciprocate.
The difference in status divides people into two separate worlds.
As for Fang Zheng,
Li Yingxuan initially felt curious, curious about what skills he had to have Jin Shu and Liu Qinghuan ally with him.
What kind of person is Jin Shu?
Though he does not understand martial arts or Daoist skills, he possesses a unique insight into worldly affairs unmatched by others.
An innate wisdom!
If not for this, how could he have been chosen by the Joyful Union Sect to be the Saintess?
To keep Jin Shu willingly at the residence for years, rumored to be the household’s musician courtesan, is not trivial.
As she delved deeper, her curiosity about Fang Zheng only grew.
This rural county’s landlord seems to hide some secret, his discernment far beyond the ordinary.
His poetry and music rival the greats of our time.
Though he never discusses the Imperial Court, Li Yingxuan could discern from his writings that Fang Zheng possesses a unique attitude unlike others.
"Speaking of which," Fang Zheng began:
"I must thank the Commandery Princess for looking after my unfilial child, Ping’an, who has troubled the Commandery Princess quite a lot over the years."
"The child is very clever, and I like him a lot too." Li Yingxuan smiled:
"Brother Fang instructs well, Ping’an may be young in years, but he carries himself with grace, his aptitude for cultivation is also significant."
"To have already cultivated mana at this age, it shouldn’t be a problem for him to become a Great Mage in the future."
"Thank you for the kind words, Commandery Princess." Fang Zheng said:
"Ping’an, would you kneel and thank the Commandery Princess?"
Having been waiting outside, Fang Ping’an stepped forward, dropped to his knees, and silently kowtowed repeatedly.
"Hmm..."
Li Yingxuan pursed her thin lips, her beautiful eyes flashing slightly:
"It seems Brother Fang has come today with a matter at hand!"
"Indeed, a minor issue." Fang Zheng nodded:
"Ping’an made the acquaintance of a friend while in the Prefecture City, though it seems there may have been some misunderstanding between them."
"By the way!"
"She’s a young lady named Xiao Qian, from the Luofu Immortal Sect."
"Xiao Qian." Li Yingxuan leaned back, eyes reflecting understanding, instantly grasping the situation:
"Senior Sister Lv Hua’s disciple, I’ve met her, she’s quite a clever little girl, Brother Fang hasn’t taken a liking?"
The Dharma Gate of the Luofu Immortal Sect advocates following one’s heart and embracing freedom, being very open-minded about matters between men and women.
This has led some to relax their self-restraint.
Indulgence!
These two words are generous, from what she knows, some people’s fondness for bedroom matters rivals that of the Joyful Union Sect’s Evil Dao.
Her own Senior Sister is one such.
With the backing of the Luofu Immortal Sect, and her own strength, others might be eager to latch on.
But the Commandery Princess understood this person well, he wasn’t one to seek power or favor, otherwise their relationship wouldn’t be so distant.
"Ping’an has a marriage engagement," Fang Zheng said:
"I must not mislead others."
"Heh..." Li Yingxuan lightly tapped the armrest:
"This is simple, just talk it out, conveniently, Senior Sister is here in the residence, I’ll have her come over."
Before long.
Fairy Lv Hua, dressed in a long green skirt, entered the room.
Bright green,
Such a vivid hue is difficult for ordinary people to pull off, especially middle-aged women in their forties who dare not approach it.
Yet on Fairy Lv Hua, the long skirt was vibrant and wanton, without overshadowing anyone.
Her appearance was striking, her features pronounced, carrying a unique mature charm.
At first glance.
She is a woman.
At second glance,
She is a ripe woman!
At third glance,
She is a woman alluring to her core!
Accompanying her was a handsome middle-aged man, following silently at her back, unconcealing the aura of a Flawless Martial Artist.
"Brother Fang." Li Yingxuan extended a hand in introduction:
"These are Senior Sister Lv Hua and Brother Shi Bumi from the Luofu Immortal Sect, this is Fang Zheng."
"Commandery Princess."
Fairy Lv Hua casually offered a salute to Li Yingxuan, then turned with a smile towards Fang Zheng:
"I’ve long heard of Young Master Fang’s great name, Thunder Walking Red Porcelain from Square Porcelain is beloved by Capital City’s dignitaries."
"Greetings, Fairy Lv Hua." Fang Zheng rose and cupped his hands:
"If the Fairy likes it, I’ll have several porcelain pieces sent over to the residence tomorrow."
"Hehe..." Fairy Lv Hua covered her mouth with a soft laugh:
"Thank you very much!"
"As for the children’s matter..., they’re still young and naive, addressing it later will not be too late."
"Why?" Before her words were finished, a young girl rushed forward from behind, angrily confronting Fang Zheng:
"Why don’t you take a liking to me?"
"Your son’s fortune is to be liked by me, what skills does a rural landlord like you have..."
"Smack!"
A slap abruptly cut off her words.
Fairy Lv Hua displayed embarrassment, bowed slightly to the Commandery Princess:
"Commandery Princess, this disciple is ignorant and impulsive, losing decorum, I hope you’ll not take offense given her young age."
"Hm!"
Li Yingxuan’s expression turned unpleasant, her eyes holding a strong sense of disdain:
"Take her away!"
"Yes."
Lv Hua hurriedly responded, sweeping her long sleeve to cuff the struggling girl, quickly leading her out.
......
Inside the room.
Xiao Qian’s lovely face was flushed, her hands tightly clenched, sharp nails almost piercing the skin, the muscles of her face twitched continuously.
"That Fang dares to insult me!"
