Chapter 4
Studying
The night time at the Feng Ting pavilion was more charming compared to the day time, layer upon layers of the shadow of the trees were intertwining, as if they were revolving around the mountains. Because looking at it was not clear, it made people wanted to pry into the full view even more. The sound of the wind that came through from the pine forest could be heard gently. The crescent moon was very beautiful, but it was not bright, it only showed a vague reflection of the three people who were sitting on the rock benches in front of the small building.
“Xuanyuan dage, do you really want to cancel the wedding with elder sister?” It seemed that his current elder sister and Xuanyuan dage were well matched now, and he wished that they could be together.
“En, Murong Shu Qing is also agree.” Pertaining to this matter, he also thought that it seemed to be too smooth.
“She is looking forward to it, of course, she will agree.” Even though Murong Xing Hun was muttering the words in a whisper, but the two people who had profound skills could completely hear him without missing anything.
Xuanyuan Yi’s complexion was startled, his brows were knitted. Pei Che was also very interested, and exploited the opportunity to ask: “Why? Is Miss Murong not very fond of Xuanyuan?”
“Three years ago, because of her accident when she fell into the water, she almost lost her life. After she woke up, her temperament changed, there were many things that she did not remember. These past three years, elder sister had never mentioned this wedding arrangement. There was a time when I asked her, and she said that she would not have the wedding, so I thought that elder sister already planned to cancel the wedding a long time ago.” He did not understand the reason either. But he could sense that his current elder sister did not seem to like Xuanyuan dage now, could it be that elder sister also forgot Xuanyuan dage?!
Even though Xuanyuan Yi initially wanted to settle the wedding affair as quickly as possible, but he also did not expect it to be so smoothly like this. As it turned out, Murong Shu Qing also wanted to cancel the wedding, but why was it? Because she already lost her memory? Since she already thought of cancelling the wedding a long time ago, why did she wait for these three years? Could it be that ~~ “Murong Shu Qing knew that I was planning to cancel the wedding, so she was not worried, and made me to be the person who broke the promise?!”
“I think it was exactly like this.” Murong Xing Hun looked at Xuanyuan Yi whose eyebrows were already knitted quickly, he could not help but to laugh out loud.
“Then, if I did not come to cancel the wedding, then she was planning to marry me!”
“No, I guess that elder sister always has a way to make you come to cancel the wedding, even if you do not come, this wedding will definitely be canceled. These past three years, everything that elder sister said that she wanted to do, she would surely complete it quickly.” Speaking until here, Murong Xing Hun’s face was filled with pride.
This made Xuanyuan Yi to be puzzled, when did these sister and brother’s relationships become good like this. He could also see that Xing Hun adored Murong Shu Qing, what did happen in these past three years after all?!
“Are you saying that Murong Shu Qing becomes a scheming woman?” Pei Che could also see the tone of adoration from Murong Xing Hun’s tone, this woman was really not simple.
“No, elder sister is a very smart person, moreover, if there is no elder sister, then there will be no me at the present.” Recalling his life for these past three years, Murong Xing Hun knew that if there was no elder sister, he and Xing Yue would not receive any attentions from the family, they were doomed to be impoverished.
Xuanyuan Yi looked at this precocious child, he had to admit that the current him, was totally different than from three years ago. His tall stature could not be regarded as well-built, but he was strong, he (XY) could faintly see the energy that was flowing from his body, even though it was unstable, but it was already producing. It should be from the directions of the Master, often, practicing martial arts everyday could produce this, one could see that he had an excellent temperaments with his firm eyes. Were all these because of Murong Shu Qing?
“I heard that she found a Master to teach you at home, why did you not go to the academy? Were you afraid that she had some plots?!” Pei Che thought that the changes in Murong Shu Qing was extremely quick, so there certainly had some problems.
“At the beginning, I also thought this way, so I did not go to class (to study), but was just disturbing the Master. But elder sister told me these sentences, she said ‘in this world, there was only one thing that nobody could take away from you, it was just __ knowledge.’ If I want to defeat the enemy or detest somebody, I will have to make myself strong. To be strong, I have to learn the knowledge from all directions. Only in this way, I can obtain whatever things that I want, protect the people whom I want to protect or protect things that I want to protect.” Murong Xing Hun’s bright face carried a smiling expression, and picking up the new tea that was on the table, he sipped it gently.
If one said that about Murong Shu Qing to Xuanyuan Yi and Pei Che before, they would only be puzzled, but now, they were actually shocked. Even though Xuanyuan Yi did not like Murong Shu Qing’s proud, reckless and willful personalities, but the two families were long time family friends. It could be said that he watched her growing up, she had never liked studying. How could she say those kind of words, just because of the so called losing memory? No way, it was too suspicious.
“Do you not hate her so much in the past, is she not afraid that when you are strong, then you will eliminate her first?” Pei Che wanted to know what was Murong Shu Qing trying to do?
“I also ask her like this, but elder sister has said that hate is also a type of driving force. Hehe (chucking), it has been three years, I know that elder sister has done all that for my sake, how can I hate her anymore?” When he became strong, he would also protect her, definitely.
Pei Che secretly sighed, a good move to retreat in order to go forward, this way, she was able to recapture this tough youngster, very amazing move.
“Then, what lessons do you usually take?”
“Elder sister said to strike a balance between studying and resting, after I study for five days, then I can rest for two days. These five days, I learn poetry, calligraphy, history, art of wars, martial arts, painting, to play instruments and so on.
“The others are good, but why do you want to learn history and art of wars?” Why did Murong Shu Qing make this child to learn these? “Can it be that Miss Murong wants you to snatch General Xuanyuan’s place when you grow up, as to avenge him from cancelling the wedding?!” At this time, Pei Che wanted to mock Xuanyuan Yi. Xuanyuan Yi just forced a smile, this Pei Che really did not neglect him at all.
“Elder sister said to use a copper as a mirror in order to see the whole right perspectives; use the past time as a mirror to be able to know the rises and falls; use the people as a mirror to understand the successes and failures. Learning history is to be able to learn how the other people use their own experiences properly, so one can be warned for one own’s weaknesses, then one can make adjustments to correct it. Learning the art of war is because the business world is just like a battlefield, although there is no blood, but it can also make people to be consigned to eternal damnation. The business world must not lose its key moments, and it also needs to plan for different strategies. Managing a family, or a career, just likes managing a country, what I want to learn is still a lot.” Speaking frankly with assurances, Murong Xing Hun’s forehead showed graceful bearing.
“No wonder, no wonder ah!” He could not help to sigh praises in this kind of woman, Murong Xing Hun’s adoration to her was definitely justified. “Hearing what you have said, can it be that the outside rumor about Murong family’s actual master is Murong Shu Qing, this thing is true?”
“Certainly, all of Murong family’s business are being taken care of by elder sister, my old man has not been involved for a long time.” Not getting involved was also good, otherwise Murong family’s fortunes had already been squandered a long time ago. “It is late, I must go back, Xuanyuan dage, Pei dage, I will look for you tomorrow, and take you to have a stroll everywhere.” Finished speaking, Murong Xing Hun walked towards Xing He Yuan (his courtyard) in large strides.
“It seems that we must get acquainted with this new Miss Murong again, she is definitely not the same person as the previous Murong Shu Qing that you know in the past.” Originally thinking that it would be very boring to accompany Xuanyuan to come to the Murong’s family this time, but after today, it looked like it was right that he came here. Ignoring Pei Che’s cheerful talks, Xuanyuan Yi followed Murong Xing Hun’s footsteps, and went out of Ting Feng pavilion.
“Xuanyuan ~~ where are you going?~”
Xuanyuan Yi followed Murong Xing Hun to leave Ting Feng pavilion, but he did not follow him, he was merely walking without any purposes. The Murong family’s manor was very big, there was a small lantern for every partitions, it was not very bright, but it gave sufficient lightning. Unconsciously, he arrived in front of a big lake, a faint lotus fragrant was floating along with the cool breeze, as if there was nothing so it made people to feel refreshed. It also pulled Xuanyuan Yi out of his chaotic thoughts.
Even though it was a crescent moon, but the red clouds were scattering out, the moonlight was a little brighter, so Xuanyuan Yi could clearly see a trace of white reflection at the side of the lake. It was her! His brain was still pondering deeply at all of her anomalies, but his feet appeared to have their own mind and walked over towards that trace of white reflection.
Murong Shu Qing looked at the bracelet that was on her wrist, she could still faintly feel a slightly cool feeling (from the bracelet), but the light purple ray that was flowing within the bracelet did not reappear. Three years ago, when she woke up and saw this bracelet at that time, she just knew that it took her to this place, and she also believed that it would take her back, but when would it be? There was no explanation!
A pair of black boots came up behind Murong Shu Qing without any sounds, she still thought that he would not come over, it seemed that she underestimated any mankind’s curiosity. Murong Shu Qing did not know martial arts, so she would be helpless to track the whereabouts of this expert. But she had a very sharp sense of smell, she was very sensitive towards people’s smells, if someone approached her within ten meters, she would find out. So, she did not need to see and already knew who was standing behind her, it should be that outstanding and extraordinary’s General Xuanyuan. But since the person did not say anything, then she would just take it as if she was not aware of it. Maybe the other person would only having an ‘endless night, unable to sleep’!
Casually sitting by the lakeside, the two like white jades feet were gently swaying on top of the water surface, the moonlight was enveloping gently, as if she was a pure jade. The cool breeze was playing with her black hair, she seemed to be so peaceful under the moon. But Xuanyuan Yi felt that his own tranquil’s heart was like a ripple water lake. Unconsciously, he mumbled lowly: “You ~~ who are you?”
“Tonight’s moonlight is very beautiful!” A woman’s gentle voice with a trace of chuckling, answered his question, but unfortunately, the content was completely irrelevant.
“Who are you?” With a powerful emotion!
This man was really not able to tolerate a trace of perfunctory and ignorance. But who was she? How could she answer it? Could it be that she should say that she came from the 21st century? Murong Shu Qing found out, after this man appeared, that she had many helpless facial expressions and forced her smiles. For example now.
Murong Shu Qing did not turn around at all, her feet that were in the cold lake water really made her feel comfortable. Lightly brushing away the lotus leaves to the side, she raised up the corner of her mouth, and lazily said: “I do not know who I am either? Maybe I am only a trace of lonely soul, who lives far away from home and is living inside this body!” This kind of answer could not be regarded as lying to him, right, it would be up to him how he would understand it.
“Are you a lonely soul? You really make people to be suspicious!” Hearing this kind of answer, Xuanyuan Yi unexpectedly felt better than if she answered that she was Murong Shu Qing, this made him to have more faith and be at ease. Walking next to the riverside, he was also sitting on the ground next to her, the corner of his mouth was unconsciously raised up in a curve.
Looking at Xuanyuan Yi who was sitting next to her, Murong Shu Qing could not help wanting to sigh again, with this kind of casual attitude, this man did not seem to look ordinary even more, on the contrary, he was more breathtaking, his resolute face showed more prominent and handsome under the moonlight.
“I am only a passing traveller, there is no need to be suspicious.” Sighing inside her heart, Murong Shu Qing slowly got up, and she did not pay any attentions to her wet legs that sticked to her skirt. Barefooted, she was standing on the soft grass, lightly patting her body and the tip of her hair that had bits of grasses. Picking up her embroidery shoes but she did not put them on, then she turned around to walk on the grass to fly out of there.
A passing traveler? Until the white reflection disappeared in front of his eyes, Xuanyuan Yi only regained his line of sight. Only the curve on the corners of his mouth did not drop down, on the contrary, they expanded. Looking at the new lotus that was swaying gently, his eyes showed brilliant rays in the deep of the night.
