CHAPTER 235: CHAPTER 235 EAST WIND GOD

In the carriage back to Tonglin County, Yan Hongxia seemed like a curious child, exploring Lu Zheng’s carriage inside and out.

Then, upon learning that Liu Qingyan had also learned the Feiyu Riding the Dawn Sword Scripture, she decisively took on the role of a mentor, meticulously explaining all sorts of precautions for practicing the Sword Control Scripture to Liu Qingyan.

"This Sword Control Technique, the Sword Qi isn’t particularly sharp, but seeks lightness and speed, extremely agile and intricate."

"It even includes a technique for refining swords? The heritage you received is quite complete, heh, just remember not to spread it too widely."

Liu Qingyan told Yan Hongxia the reason for her cultivating the Sword Control Technique was actually to test if there were no hidden dangers.

As a result, Yan Hongxia didn’t seem to mind, which relieved Liu Qingyan.

"It’s fine, it’s fine, as long as you’re not up to no good and don’t maliciously spread it everywhere, Feiyu Mountain is glad to connect with you."

"Besides, this is something you acquired from the Netherworld by your own skills. If they carelessly lost their cultivation technique, what’s it got to do with you?"

While speaking, Yan Hongxia took out a piece of chocolate from a bamboo tube, gently placed it in her mouth, and a rich aroma of cocoa and milk filled the air as she chewed.

Liu Qingquan on the other side looked distressed, then decisively took out beef jerky from another bamboo tube and started eating it with a crunch.

"Miss Yan, which branch of sword cultivators does your Cloud Ascending Mountain belong to?" Lu Zheng inquired.

Since Yan Hongxia didn’t carry a sword, she obviously wasn’t from the swordsmanship line, and being neighbors with Feiyu Mountain, could she be from the flying sword path?

"Hehe, guess?" Yan Hongxia raised her eyebrows, not disclosing to Lu Zheng.

Then she tossed a milk candy into her mouth, "So delicious! Even though I’ve traveled far and wide, I’ve never tasted such delicious candy before. Did you make this?"

Liu Qingquan nodded her small head quickly, mumbling unclearly, "Yes, yes, brother-in-law made them."

Lu Zheng blinked, "A unique method; not much produced."

"I knew it. If there were a large production, you’d go to Zhongjing to do business and make a fortune in a year!" Yan Hongxia nodded knowingly.

"You’ve been to Zhongjing?" Lu Zheng asked.

"Yes, of course, my first trip down the mountain was to Zhongjing." Yan Hongxia nodded as if it was a matter of course.

"Is it prosperous?" Liu Qingquan asked.

"Are there many masters?" Lu Zheng asked.

"Prosperous!" Yan Hongxia nodded, "The city walls are ten zhang high, stretching for dozens of miles, with countless tall buildings and towers."

"As for masters..."

Yan Hongxia blinked and said, "I have no right to see the true masters, but with Emperor Jing and the Royal Ancestral Hall in the Imperial City, the Observatory and Anomaly Suppression Headquarters in Zhongjing, guarded by the Dragon Soaring Army and the Phoenix Soaring Army, and nearby there’s Fahua Temple and Chixiao Temple, what do you think, are there many masters or not?"

Lu Zheng, "..."

"Many!"

...

By the time they returned to Tonglin County, it was already the afternoon of the second day. Instead of letting Yan Hongxia stay at an inn, Liu Qingyan arranged for her to stay at her own place. Although they still referred to each other as friends, in details, Liu Qingyan was treating Yan Hongxia with the respect given to a teacher.

Liu Qingyan and Yan Hongxia agreed to visit Yu Ling Garden the next day, while Lu Zheng returned alone to... Peach Blossom Plain.

Dusty and weary from the journey, Shen Ying thoughtfully prepared a pot of Peach Blossom Brew and two White Peach Buns for Lu Zheng, finally allowing him to wash away the travel fatigue and feel refreshed.

...

The next day, Liu Qingyan and another woman went out without asking Lu Zheng to accompany them, giving Lu Zheng the chance to return to the modern world.

"You’re back?"

"Yes, I’m back." Lu Zheng smiled, "It’s the weekend, where are you now?"

"How about joining me for a soak in a private hot spring? Would you like to come?" Huang Xiumin’s voice came through the phone, "Lin Wan brought a bikini!"

"You’re talking nonsense, I didn’t!" Lin Wan grabbed the phone and explained, "A few female colleagues from work formed a group to go to the hot springs."

"Oh, oh." Lu Zheng indicated he understood, "So it’s a day of fun?"

"Yes, yes." Lin Wan said, "We’re also having dinner together in the evening. Can you pick me up in the evening?"

"Sure." Lu Zheng said, "Where are you having dinner? Or should you call me then?"

Lin Wan said, "I’ll call you. I can’t say for sure now."

"Alright!"

Although without Lin Wan’s company, Lu Zheng still decided to go out shopping.

Having been stuck in ancient times for several days, he was a bit unaccustomed to the modern atmosphere.

Today was cloudy, the sun not too intense, but the temperature hadn’t dropped; after all, it was still summer.

Lu Zheng dressed neatly, went out alone, and casually ordered a 9.9 yuan Luckin Coffee, sipping it as he strolled down the street.

"What should I do?"

"Hmm?"

Lu Zheng rubbed his chin, "The new house has been aired out for half a year, and I can move in soon. Should I buy a car?"

"But there’s one thing..."

Looking at the long legs in the street, Lu Zheng felt pleased, "Should I tell Lin Wan if I move into the new house?"

If living together with Lin Wan...

Oh, I’m silly. Lin Wan already knows I have secrets. I can still time travel in the rental apartment. She doesn’t have the key to my apartment."

Lu Zheng and Lin Wan had a mutual understanding. Lin Wan never pried into Lu Zheng’s secrets, and always called before visiting, treating Lu Zheng like a superhero in real life.

Therefore...

Lu Zheng hailed a taxi and headed straight to the auto city.

In Hai City, where every inch of land is precious, the auto city was located in the distant northwestern suburbs. By the time Lu Zheng arrived, it was almost noon.

After paying the fare and having lunch, Lu Zheng leisurely entered the auto city.

Upon entering the auto city, Lu Zheng realized there were indeed many car brands. He didn’t need to mention the familiar international and domestic brands, but he also saw many brands he didn’t even recognize.

"Wow, never seen these before. Is this company sure it can survive by making cars?"

"Sir, looking at cars? Interested in Toyota?"

"Sir, check out new energy cars, the country is supporting them a lot."

"Sir, what price range are you considering, an imported car or a domestic one?"

Lu Zheng had always supported domestic products, and the same applied to cars. So, he didn’t even consider brands like BBA.

Yes, correct, these cars are actually produced by joint ventures within the country, and apart from the brand, they’re all domestic already.

But Lu Zheng just didn’t want them.

And with his current mindset, he had long surpassed the point of caring about others’ opinions.

So, Lu Zheng quickly turned into the Dongfeng Auto 4S shop.

A sales lady greeted him with a smile, "Hello, sir!"

"Hmm." Lu Zheng nodded, "Can you introduce me to something?"

"Sure, what type of vehicle are you looking for and what’s your budget?"

"As for the type, an SUV." Lu Zheng rubbed his chin, "No specific budget, as long as the car is good."

"Alright, over here we have Dongfeng Nissan and Dongfeng Peugeot..."

Lu Zheng waved his hand, "I only want Dongfeng Fengxing or Dongfeng Fengshen, don’t introduce any foreign brands to me."
