The Second Volume of Case Files in the Warehouse of Heaven Chapter 21: Flying Letter

  I lowered my head and thought for a long time before looking at Hou Xuan and Chun Yu again. Their expressions had never been as serious as they were today. Perhaps, the dispersal of true energy was a very important matter for these martial practitioners, but I didn't understand it, so I didn't feel scared, only that my body felt very uncomfortable.

  "I've lost my memory, I forgot I knew martial arts..."

  "What!" Hou Xuan raised an eyebrow, "You can even forget your martial arts skills? There's no one in the world more stupid than you."

  "Hou Xian!" Chun Yu interrupted Hou Xian's teasing, sighed, "Madam said it's possible, but Madam's internal energy is still there. However, if she forgets the technique, it would be very dangerous for her. She should review it carefully."

  "Alright, alright!" Hou Xuan nodded in agreement, his expression showing concern for me. He still had one hand on my shoulder, looking at me like a good buddy. "So, I'll teach you how to circulate your Qi, and you can teach me that martial art from earlier."

  Relying on it, I thought this stinky fart had become so "kind" when in fact he wanted to steal the master. I raised a smile: "No need, now I have Autumn Leaf and Little Jo, what's there to fear from an assassin?" I slowly got up, my head feeling a bit dizzy.

  "Madam, you still look pale, go back first..."

  "Go back!" Hou Xuan pushed Chun Yu away, and Chun Yu narrowed his fox-like eyes, covering up the sharpness inside. Hou Xuan supported my body with a face full of anxiety: "Madam, this is an important matter! You are the Protecting Country Madam, how can you not know any martial arts? Moreover, since you have internal energy, if you don't use it, wouldn't that be a waste? Alright, I'll teach you how to circulate your Qi and also teach you a set of ancestral Qi Gong!"

  Hou Xian was really eager to learn Tai Chi, he was so anxious that he almost pinched my arm off. I pulled back my arm and smiled slyly: "You really want to learn?"

  "Of course!" Hou Xian was quite sincere at this moment.

  "Alright!" I patted his shoulder, and as a result of the blood on my hands, I left a bloody handprint on his shoulder. "How much do you spend every night at Hualiede?"

  "Not ten o'clock, no, I don't go every night."

  "I don't care about this, from tomorrow on, each class here will be 20 taels, what do you think?"

  "Twenty taels!" Hou Xian exclaimed, his eyes bulging out, "The fare for the night crossing is only fifteen taels, how can you ask me for twenty taels?!"

  "Ah Hou! How could you let Madame Hua be bullied like this!"

  Jun Yu's words startled Hou Xuan, who immediately began to calculate: "Right, she taught me martial arts, and the cost was just chatting and drinking tea with me. Not a bad deal! Twenty taels is twenty taels!"

  I burst out laughing, my eyes narrowing into slits. This time I won't let him off the hook for a hundred or so classes.

  He put his hands behind his back, looked me up and down with a strange gaze: "Hey, I'm saying you're getting more and more money-minded, the Wind family is wealthy and influential, but you're still holding onto these twenty taels, are you still that elegant and refined Feng Qingya?"

  Are you still elegant and refined?

  The smile on my face froze, and the surroundings instantly fell into an unprecedented silence, as if at the same moment when he said that sentence, everyone present held their breath.

  I raised my face and saw everyone around me looking puzzled: "What's wrong with you all, why have your faces changed?"

  Sun Yu's eyes flickered for a moment, and he covered up the sudden change with a smile: "What are you talking about, madam? Coughing up blood is indeed a serious matter."

  Unconsciously, I felt another gaze, it was Yuanchen. I walked towards that gaze, he had already lowered his head and continued to tune his guqin.

  "Boring!" Suddenly, a clear and cold voice broke the dull and strange atmosphere. Li Ge turned his wheelchair around slowly with both hands, his handsome face as cold as ice. "Quiet places are getting fewer and farther between." He didn't look at us once, heading towards the exit of the bamboo forest.

  Just as he was passing by us, Hou Xuan suddenly stepped out and blocked Li Ge's path, a cold smile spreading across his lips: "If you want to be quiet, don't leave your courtyard, after all, the flowers and grass won't speak, and the white rabbit is mute too, so it's very quiet."

  Suddenly, Li Ge's hands grasped the wheelchair wheel tightly, his pale joints bulging out, and even the blue-green veins became exceptionally clear.

  "That's enough! Hou Xian!" Chun Yu couldn't take it anymore and pulled back Hou Xian, Li Ge let out a cold hum and pushed the wheelbarrow away. Farong picked up the zither and walked into the house, "bang" shut the bamboo door. The atmosphere was quite awkward.

  "What's wrong with you all? Are you all taking out your anger on me?" Hou Xian glanced left and right, then flung his sleeve. "Fine! You all have tempers, but I don't! Each of you thinks you're extraordinary, so if you dare, get out of here!"

  This time, even I think Hou Xuan has gone a bit too far. I immediately shouted loudly: "Ah! Shanshan, what are we doing here!"

  Chun Yu blinked his eyes with a sudden realization: "It was asking where the stone pot was bought, but now it seems that it can't be asked." Chun Yu shot back with a killing intent, all because of He's bad deeds, but at this moment, someone else was confused.

  "Stone pot? Stone pot bibimbap?" Hyeon's eyes sparkled, "Take something delicious."

  "Hmm..." I smiled and took a step forward. In an instant, a wave of darkness swept over me, the world spun around, and human figures blurred together.

  Waft after waft of familiar scent pierced my nostrils. When I opened my eyes, I saw several blurry figures.

  "Awake?" It was Nangong Qiuxue, his face gradually became clear, and the fragrance was originally from him. He took my pulse, nodded, and helped me sit up, my head still a bit dizzy, the orange-yellow sunlight spread on my brocade quilt, already near dusk.

  As my vision gradually cleared, I saw two other people, Chun Yu and Hou Xuan.

  Sun Yu smiled and asked, "What would you like to eat?"

  "Hmm..." To be honest, I'm not used to seeing so many people by my bedside all of a sudden. Nangong Qiuyue put a robe over me and said to Chunyu, "Bring a bowl of ginseng porridge."

  "Got it." Chun Yu turned and left.

  He glanced at Chun Yu, then looked at me: "Remember, twenty taels, when you're better, we'll meet again." He raised two fingers, I nodded with a smile, his almond-shaped eyes flashed like gemstones, and he gave Nan Gong another provocative glance before floating out of the room.

  "What's wrong with you?" Nangong turned his head to ask me, moving a stool to sit beside my bed. I looked away: "Nothing, never mind." I looked at him again, "What have you been up to these past few days?"

  "I..." Nangong Qiuyue furrowed his brow, and he was usually like that when they were together. I couldn't help but reach out to poke between his eyebrows, just like how friends used to do for each other when they were worried. Nangong Qiuyue slightly froze, but soon relaxed his body and smiled at me. I poked him again: "Don't furrow your brow, what can possibly trouble our Nangong Qiuyue in this world?"

  He withdrew his hand and looked at the faint smile on his face, with a hint of hesitation in his eyes: "This thing is indeed not difficult for me, but it's difficult for you."

  "Me?"

  "I've been catching pigeons for the past two days." Nangong Qiuyue said, pulling out a note from her pocket. "This pigeon belongs to the Leng family. I hijacked it and copied the contents of the message it was carrying."

  "Lonely household?" Nangong Qiuyue placed the note in front of me, "You'll get a headache if you read it, whether to look or not is up to you."

  The strip of paper was just a strip of paper, but when it was handed over from Nan Gong Qiuyue's hand, it seemed to have become heavy. What could it be?

  Leng Jia...
