Chapter 151: Qingzhu
On the third day after Su Wuniang returned to Shenwu Mountain, a guest came to the Qingyu Furong Garden. This guest was also a young lady, not as dignified and beautiful as Su Wuniang, but she was also heroic and extraordinary, and she was tall, half a head taller than Su Wuniang. Even if Liu Xiaolou stood in front of her, he had to stand on tiptoe to look at her and talk.
This young lady was a woman from the Ouyang family in Yuezhou. She had a strong personality. A few years ago, because she didn't like the marriage arranged by her family, she had a big quarrel with her family, almost to the point of life and death. Because she had quite a talent in cultivation, the family didn't want to force her to death, so they finally made concessions and let her leave Lianxi Hall to live outside, calling herself Qingzhu Jushi.
The Su family and the Ouyang family were in-laws, and Qingzhu and Su Wuniang were also childhood playmates, very close. It's just that when Su Wuniang got married, she didn't receive an invitation and couldn't come to Shenwu Mountain to pay respects and observe the ceremony. She hadn't seen Xiniang for nearly two years.
Please enter the hall to pour tea, Su Wuniang smiled and asked: "I heard before that Young Master Diao from Siming Mountain in your Yuezhou was interested in you, how is it?"
Qingzhu said: "He did go to my family to propose marriage, but Xiniang, you also know that my family doesn't make decisions about my affairs. And I have long made a vow to seek the Dao all my life and never marry."
Su Wuniang sighed: "Zhuniang, why be like this? Women, after all, have to marry."
Qingzhu stared at her and said: "Marry for the sake of marrying? Xiniang, I absolutely do not agree with this point. Of course, you have no choice. The men of the Su family can't stand up, so you can only do this. But if it were me, I wouldn't care about so much. If the men of the Ouyang family can't stand up, then let it be. Why should I take this burden? I can't take it, and I don't want to take it."
Su Wuniang shook her head and didn't want to say more. Among the younger generation of the Ouyang family, both the eldest son and the seventh son had successfully established their foundations. The eldest son had even broken through to the late stage of Foundation Establishment last year, and it was expected that he would have hope for the Golden Core in less than forty years. There was no urgent need for the Su family, so Qingzhu had the confidence to say this. If the Ouyang family were facing the Su family's predicament, could Qingzhu still be so carefree?
Just now, when Qingzhu saw Su Wuniang, her heart sank. At this moment, she finally couldn't help it: "Wuniang, your cultivation has improved again?"
Su Wuniang smiled faintly: "Well, just turned qi into water, not yet stable."
Qingzhu suddenly felt a sense of loss in her heart, and smiled reluctantly: "So fast..."
Su Wuniang asked with concern: "You were already at the perfection of Qi Refinement last year, when will you establish the foundation? Have you prepared the Foundation Establishment Pill?"
Qingzhu took a deep breath and said: "I still want to try it myself. If I can not use the pill, I won't use it. This time I came here for the sake of Foundation Establishment. You know I cultivate array techniques, and I feel that I have already been perfect in array techniques, but I don't know where the problem lies. I heard that your husband is good at this, so I came here specifically to ask for advice."
Su Wuniang smiled and said: "Zhuniang, don't make fun of me. What kind of array is he good at? It's just an illusion array, a small trick, how can it be considered to give you advice, a genius in array techniques?"
In the past two days, she also asked Xiaohuan to inquire about Liu Xiaolou's magic array. The Su family only knew that Liu Xiaolou refined an illusion array, so Xiaohuan didn't find out much detail, only knowing that Liu Xiaolou and a group of people often practiced.
For the attitude towards the illusion array, high-class families like the Su family have always looked down on it. Su Wuniang called it a "small trick," which is indeed the Su family's view of the illusion array, and also the world's view of the illusion array.
If it weren't for those in the impotence circle, who would know the truth? If they really knew what the scene in Liu Xiaolou's illusion array was, his reputation would probably be even worse.
Qingzhu, who studied array techniques, also looked down on the illusion array, but she was slightly different from Su Wuniang. She had some dealings with the impotence circle and knew a little bit of the inside story, feeling that Liu Xiaolou's illusion array was probably different from ordinary illusion arrays, so she came to observe.
Seeing that Su Wuniang looked down on Liu Xiaolou's illusion array, she thought for a moment and probed: "Xiniang, you and I are close sisters, with more than ten years of friendship. There is something I want to ask, you are not allowed to be angry."
Su Wuniang was surprised: "What will make me angry? Don't worry, I will definitely answer what I can answer, and I can't help it if I can't answer, so how can I be angry?"
Qingzhu said: "I heard... this husband of yours, he... with women... is not good?"
Su Wuniang sighed in her heart. Although she had been prepared for a long time, she didn't expect it to spread so quickly. For a while, she couldn't bear it and hesitated without answering.
"Have you two not had a husband-and-wife relationship yet?"
"This... Zhuniang, stop talking, okay?"

Observing her words and expressions, Qingzhu understood. For no reason, she wanted to laugh, but she said with concern: "Things have come to this, if there is no better way, it is better to divorce him according to my meaning."
Su Wuniang shook her head: "It involves his reputation, let's see."
Qingzhu held Su Wuniang's hand and said: "In this kind of matter, what is important? Is his reputation important, or is your dual cultivation important?"
Su Wuniang said softly: "Zhuniang, this is not my business, it is the Su family's business. Besides, people will always change. We will change when we grow up, and he will naturally change, don't you think so, Zhuniang?"
Qingzhu was silent for a long time and nodded slowly: "You are right. Perhaps he also wants to change himself, otherwise why refine this illusion array? That's right, the essence of the illusion array lies in empathy, that's indeed the case..."
Su Wuniang asked: "Is the magic array he refined really helpful to your cultivation?"
Qingzhu said: "I don't know yet, I have to see it to know."
Su Wuniang said: "He left the mountain early this morning, saying he was going back to Wulong Mountain to visit his relatives, and he won't be back for three months."
Qingzhu asked: "Wulong Mountain? Which direction? How long has he been gone?"
Having obtained Su Wuniang's answer, Qingzhu said goodbye immediately, left Shenwu Mountain, and chased westward. Along the way, she was thinking about what she had said to Su Wuniang.
"So you are not always so smooth in everything? Haha, it's so funny!"
Chasing until the sky turned dark, she saw a small flatbed cart moving slowly on the road ahead. So she quickened her pace to catch up.
She saw that this flatbed cart was being pulled by a large white goose, with a person sitting on it, and a black cat lying on the tail of the cart. She had never seen Liu Xiaolou in person, but judging from Su Wuniang's description, it should be Liu Xiaolou—in the world, there really hadn't been a second family that drove a goose to pull a cart!
Qingzhu blocked the cart with a leap, sizing up the large white goose curiously for a while, while the black cat at the back of the cart "meowed" and disappeared without a trace.
Looking at the stunned Liu Xiaolou on the cart, her heart jumped, and she couldn't help but secretly think: "What a handsome young man!" She couldn't help but feel blocked in her heart. No wonder Xixi chose him to be a live-in son-in-law. Even if he wasn't useful, he was good to look at on weekdays!
He was really good to look at...
Liu Xiaolou stood up slowly, sizing up the woman in front of him with full vigilance. She was tall, with a slender figure and an extraordinary appearance, but he had never seen her before.
"This friend, why are you blocking the way?"
Qingzhu tilted her head, looked at Liu Xiaolou and asked: "Are you Liu Xiaolou? Xixi's husband?"
Is this an acquaintance? A sister of Wuniang?
Liu Xiaolou relaxed a little and cupped his hands: "Exactly, who is the young lady?"
Qingzhu said: "I am Xixi's sister, the kind from childhood, um, who talks about everything. You call me Zhuniang."
Liu Xiaolou blinked: "Did Zhuniang come to find me?"
Qingzhu nodded: "Yes. Like this, you are going back to Wulong Mountain, right? I won't delay your journey, let's talk while walking."
