Chapter 765: New Events and Old Feelings

The girls downstairs were indeed still there, and the surprised expressions on their faces had not yet dissipated.

The scene of the eagle grabbing the gray mouse just now was truly too shocking. Divine Physician Qu was still introducing new portraits to everyone on the stage, and people were still waiting for the auction of the next "Night Bare Picture", when suddenly "thump thump", the body moved and the shadow flew, and she was pressed against the west wall by young hero Pei and tied up.

Then she was grabbed by the collar like a mouse grabbed by the tail, dragged upstairs, the door closed, and she disappeared.

After a while, people saw Miss Changsun running downstairs in a panic.

After a while, people saw Miss Changsun running upstairs in a panic, pulling Little President Li.

After a while, people saw Little President Li pulling young hero Pei downstairs.

Although they didn't know what had happened, no one spoke much for a while, but the joy of seeing young hero Pei again was real.

Young hero Pei looked a bit shy. Little President Li pulled him and pressed him at an empty table, then greeted everyone to sit around together.

"The meeting just now was secretly arranged by Qu Xin. Young hero Pei thought it was to guide junior swordsmen. He was caught by young hero Pei just now, and President Cui and the others were also scolded." Li Piaoqing smiled, "Young hero Pei only now knows about everyone in the fan club. He is very embarrassed himself, so I pulled him down to meet everyone and chat."

The young girls were surprised and happy. In fact, everyone was more accustomed to the mode of paying ten taels of silver to meet for a quarter of an hour, because young hero Pei must be very busy, and it was too rare for him to be willing to spare time to meet everyone one by one.

Not to mention that they heard he was poor at home, maybe it was to earn some money, and the money in everyone's hands was just sitting there anyway. Rather than buying rouge and powder, of course it was more meaningful to support young hero Pei.

And young hero Pei was really gentle when they met just now.

Nan Yingzhi was sitting very close to Pei Ye at this time. She was looking forward to the youth turning his head to greet her. However, she was probably sitting too close and a bit too far back, so she could only see the youth's neck and side face, estimating that she was just a corner in the youth's field of vision.

Then after young hero Pei sat down, she saw the clean and moist hand that was holding his sleeve loosen, and then naturally helped him smooth his cuffs, and rested on the table beside him.

Little President Li's pleasant voice sounded overhead: "First of all, make it clear, young hero Pei is not accustomed to too intimate contact. Everyone should be like listening to a lecture in a school, raise your hand if you have any questions. He just saw the painting you sold, and he was so hot with embarrassment."

Nan Yingzhi looked at this hand resting beside young hero Pei's hand, only a few strands of hair apart, but young hero Pei, who was "not accustomed to intimate contact", didn't notice it at all.

She thought blankly at this time, what exclusive physician Qu, good friend Cui, Imperial Academy classmate Changsun…… none of them were as good as this one.

Young girls were very sensitive to such small details of intimacy.

A rustling sound rang out in the hall. Almost everyone here had a portrait. Everyone was very lively when they closed the door and went crazy just now, but at this time, facing young hero Pei, everyone was ashamed. Several people looked at Li Piaoqing with pleading expressions, wanting her not to mention that painting in front of young hero Pei again.

However, there was no angry expression on the youth's face. He listened to Little President Li finish, cupped his fists: "That, please don't make my portraits and puppets anymore, and, and try not to spend money. As for the money already spent, Little…… Little President Li will try to return a portion to everyone, as for the paintings and puppets already bought……"

He hesitated for a while, and everyone looked at him nervously.

"……If you are willing to keep them, keep them, but try not to pass them around to look at."

A group of small, suppressed cheers erupted in the hall.

Pei Ye had a quite wonderful feeling, so he followed with a smile.

For about two quarters of an hour, there was laughter at several tables. These faces that Pei Ye originally thought were floods and beasts were all gentle and polite when they were truly sitting in front of him. One person always finished speaking before another opened their mouth to ask. Pei Ye actually felt a gentle tranquility here.

Although many questions were layman, anyway, once a sentence was spoken, everyone had their own understanding, and when they spoke again, they had their own whimsical ideas, plus Li Piaoqing's assistance on the side, making the atmosphere quite harmonious from beginning to end.

"Without the treacherous officials in power, young hero Pei will come to meet everyone again when he has time in the future, no need to spend money anymore." Finally, Pei Ye stood up to leave, and Li Piaoqing smiled on the side.

Many people were still very worried about Divine Physician Qu's situation. Some were asking and some were pleading, and some heard that young hero Pei didn't need everyone's money anymore and felt a bit sad, crowding around the young girl and asking about the youth's financial situation in a low voice.

However, young hero Pei's meeting this time was finally successfully concluded, not in vain for everyone to come to the sword banquet. Qu Xin's remaining four paintings, after all, were the painstaking efforts of that great painter. Li Piaoqing drew lots for everyone to draw, and Pei Ye stood on the side and smiled helplessly.

Then he sent people to mingle in the garden. Pei Ye and the young

Then they sent people to socialize in the garden, and Pei Ye and the young girl cleaned up the scene and returned to the upper floor.

They placed the two large bags of crime tools in front of Qu Xin.

Qu Xin stood by the wall, looking down at these small brushes, small knives, and seven or eight half-carved puppet dolls.

"Your business is not allowed to be done anymore." Pei Ye said, "Your reputation has already been ruined in the hobbyist society."

Qu Xin pondered.

"Don't think about pulling in new people to join the society to cheat."

Qu Xin raised her head and looked at him in surprise.

Li Piaoqing said: "Pei Ye has already handed you over to me, from today on you

will sleep with me at the Tianshan Guest House."

"Little drake, what is she going to do to me."

Li Piaoqing said: "All your illegal gains will be confiscated by me, and for two months you must be by my side. If you dare to leave without permission, I will report you to the Taishan Medicine Hut and let them catch you back."

Qu Xin was silent for a while: "Little drake, how is robbery and kidnapping judged, I want to report to the officials."

"In two months, you must listen to my instructions to treat the Tianshan disciples who were injured before, the Feather Inspector of the Immortal Platform, and the Eight Waters Water Gang outside the city."

Qu Xin: "There is also private forced labor."

"The silver you earned from the hobbyist society will be roughly returned by me, and there is still over six hundred taels left, temporarily kept with me. When you finish treating the wounded, I will return it to you." Li Piaoqing said, "However, this snow silver will melt. Today it is six hundred taels, tomorrow it might be ten taels less, and in a few days, there might only be over five hundred taels left."

Qu Xin widened her eyes: "How can silver melt."

"I don't know, anyway, in my hands, it will melt."

"... Then how much will be left when you give it to me."

"That depends on how hard you work to treat the patients."

"I'll go now." Qu Xin turned around and held her bound hands in front of Li Piaoqing.

Li Piaoqing lowered her head to untie her and smiled: "Not now, I still have things to do in the afternoon, wait until tonight and I will explain to you in detail."

"Then does my silver start melting from today."

"That still has to melt." Li Piaoqing said.

Qu Xin lowered her head, rubbed her wrists, and said nothing. She squatted down, wiped the little dolls on the ground clean one by one, stacked them up, and carefully wrapped them up again with the bundle.

Pei Ye frowned in curiosity: "Didn't you earn three or four hundred taels of consultation fees just by going to the palace once, what do you need so much silver for?"

"To buy things." Qu Xin said with her head lowered.

Pei Ye looked at her body; her hair had only one hair tie all year round, and there were no ornaments on her clothes.

Rouge and powder were even more completely isolated from this young girl.

"What are you buying?"

"Medicine. And some other things you wouldn't understand."

"You buy medicine, doesn't the Taishan Medicine Hut give you money?"

"They don't let me buy it."

"... Then you'd better not buy it—wait, are you planning to test these things on me in the future?"

"..." Qu Xin looked up at him.

"Don't look at me and not speak."

Qu Xin said seriously in a flat voice: "Little drake, you are so smart."

"Don't worry, I won't kill you." She reassured him again.

"Do you have any fellow apprentices, I want to change doctors." Pei Ye said seriously.

Qu Xin thought for a while: "They are not as young and good-looking as me..."

Li Piaoqing "slapped" her little green hat onto her face, extinguishing her speech.

"You are now a person who has committed a crime, if you say one more word, the silver will melt by another tael."

Qu Xin lowered her head.

Cui Zhaoye and Changsun Jue sat upright, one elegant and one noble, clapping together. Cui Zhaoye said: "President Little Li is wise and martial, finally eradicating the treacherous and evil, returning the hobbyist society to clarity!"

Li Piaoqing smiled, Pei Ye couldn't be bothered to pay attention to her, turned his head and said: "Classmate Changsun, I want to ask you something."

"Hmm?"

"I heard from Yiner that you can play the zither, I don't know if it's true?"

"I can do a little." Changsun Jue was slightly stunned, "I learned the zither when I was five, and practiced it from time to time later, but after studying, I practiced less... but I also play twice a month."

"Then do you have time to teach me." Pei Ye smiled, "I can pay tuition... ten taels."

Qu Xin looked up: "I can play the zither."

Li Piaoqing said: "Deduct one tael."

Changsun Jue opened her eyes wide, somewhat pleasantly surprised: "Does Young Hero Pei Ye want to learn to play the zither... the tuition is not needed."

She was a bit embarrassed.

"Hmm, I am currently practicing a sword technique, Dean Qiu said it's best to learn the zither first, and after learning three kinds of tunes, then come to learn the sword."

Changsun Jue was quite interested: "Which three?"

"'Guangling', 'Yu Meets at Tushan', 'Lord of Water and Clouds'" Pei Ye said, "Can Classmate Changsun play them?"

"..."

"What's wrong?"

The young girl smiled helplessly: "Classmate Pei, you really are amazing at everything you do... I don't even have the scores for these tunes, and even if I did, I couldn't learn them myself, let alone teach you."

She thought for a while: "To play this kind of repertoire well, Classmate Pei needs to find a true master of music."

There should be no shortage of music masters in the Divine Capital... but inviting them to teach would certainly not be ten taels. Pei Ye thought to himself and smiled: "Okay, then I'll look for another one."

Then the green shadow leaning on the table beside him smiled and tugged at him, and Pei Ye cupped his hands: "Then Piaoqing and I will leave first, there are still some things in the afternoon."

"Goodbye, Young Hero Pei."

"Goodbye, President Little Li."

Pei Ye and the young girl in the green skirt went down the stairs. The people in the building had all dispersed, and it was empty and quiet.

Outside the building, the sun was no longer that bright, drooping down. The two walked out the door, and the sounds of the garden in the distance seemed to have subsided quite a bit.

"I was also quite shocked when I first saw them." Li Piaoqing smiled, "I thought there were too many novel things in the Divine Capital, does every swordsman have their own hobbyist society."

Pei Ye said dully: "I think only I have one."

"

So many young girls like you, aren't you happy, Young Hero Pei Ye?" Li Piaoqing smiled, "Don't get the benefit and still act like you're suffering."

"Okay, so that's how you see me in your heart... girl or not, like or not, I don't care."

"I don't see you in any particular way, this is human nature, it's just that Young Hero Pei's mouth has always been relatively hard."

"... How did you get mixed up with them, I really didn't expect to see you just now."

"I went to stroll around Le You Plain yesterday and ran into Miss Cui and Miss Changsun." Li Piaoqing said with a smile, "You would definitely be ashamed again if you saw it, such a group of warblers and swallows surrounding a small pavilion, with a big flag standing next to it, with the five big characters 'Pei Ye Hobbyist Society' written on it... I stopped my footsteps immediately."

"... I feel a bit dizzy just listening to you."

The young girl was clearly full of the desire to share what she had heard and seen yesterday, and kept talking and laughing beside him. The fresh fragrance was faint, and for a moment Pei Ye was a bit dazed. The young girl beside him seemed very strange, but they were also so familiar, without the slightest barrier, and unconsciously they walked shoulder to shoulder.

It was as if the half-year separation had never happened, and all the anxiety and timidity in his heart when they didn't meet were all his own wild imagination.

"Piaoqing, you seem to have grown up a bit." Pei Ye said suddenly.

The chattering young girl's voice stopped, and she looked at him with a smile: "Okay, so you weren't listening carefully to what I was just saying."

"... I was distracted."

"You've also grown up a bit." Li Piaoqing examined his face and smiled, "More handsome."

"... What is that." Pei Ye felt that he shouldn't have blushed at such a joke long ago, but his face did heat up, and he subconsciously dodged his face.

Li Piaoqing also closed her mouth. The two walked on the small path in the courtyard. The willow wind was blowing, and the edge of the sky was smeared with a wisp of pale yellow. The whole corner of the sky was like a piece of jade with yellow stains, just right for delicate carving.

"What are you going to do, I'll go say goodbye to True Disciple He and Yiner and the others first." Pei Ye withdrew his gaze. Roughly speaking, even if everything changed, the sky of Bowang and the sky of the Divine Capital would never be different. Eight months ago, they also often walked on the road like this, looking at the horizon.

"I saw True Disciple He when I came up just now, she is standing at the door waiting for you." Li Piaoqing paused and asked curiously, "Who is Yiner?"

"Oh, she is a junior sister I just met."

"Just met... how come it's a junior sister again?" Li Piaoqing smiled and was puzzled, "How come you have so many strange relationships?"

"..."
