"That depends on what Mr. Xu can do. If he can win her heart, then what he said before will matter. The old lady of the Qi family has long since calmed down. As long as her granddaughter is willing, I don't think she will object." Yang Shang said.

When Yang Yuting heard this, she felt flustered and clenched her hands tightly.

……

A few days later, at the Qi family, in the Bihe Garden where Qi Bingning was.

"What a rare guest, Yuting. You haven't come to my place for more than five years, right?" Qi Bing's voice was as sweet as a yellow oriole, her skin was as smooth as fat, her eyebrows were like light smoke, and under her fresh and elegant makeup, there was a unique coldness and delicate beauty of a woman, which made people want to protect her.

When she first heard the servant's report, she thought she had heard it wrong.

"Bingning, long time no see." Looking at his childhood friend who was so charming, Yang Yuting had to admit that if she were a man, he would be moved by her. The woman's unique tenderness was accompanied by a hint of elegance and pride. The family's experience did not defeat her.

"Sister Shi Liu." Yang Yuting greeted another woman. She was Qi Bingning's distant cousin. She was taken in by the old lady of the Qi family and raised by her since she was a child. She was also there to keep the frail Qi Bingning company. After the Qi family fell into decline, she had always stayed by Qi Bingning's side. She was Qi Bingning's only relative besides the old lady of the Qi family.

Ruan Shiliu nodded at her. She was slightly taller than the other two. Although not as stunning as Qi Bingning, she was also quite good, and had a calm and steady temperament.

The maid served them tea, and after a brief exchange of greetings, the conversation stopped. Yang Yuting showed an embarrassed expression on her face.

The two had not seen each other for many years. One was devoted to cultivation, while the other devoted himself to studying ancient music. They really had nothing in common. Especially since the other's family had fallen into poverty and was now like a setting sun.

Qi Bingning chuckled when she saw this. This girl was still the same as before, unable to hide her true feelings on her face.

Influenced by her grandmother, she is young but her mind is much more mature and she has a more open mind about many things. What is the joy of life, and what is the fear of death. All living beings are just struggling and going through tribulations in the world. Although they haven't seen each other for a long time, Qi Bingning still has a good impression of Yang Yuting because it is easy to get along with him.

"It's not like you to be hesitant. Tell me, Yuting, what is it that makes you come to me this time?" Qi Bingning said in a relaxed tone.

"I..." Yang Yuting felt a little embarrassed and found it difficult to speak.

"If you don't tell me, then I can't do anything."

"Okay, Bingning, have you seen anyone recently?"

"No, the Qi family is in this state now, who would come? In the past few years, no one else has come except you." Qi Bingning chuckled. Her tone was relaxed, but Yang Yuting couldn't help but feel a pain in her heart.

In this case, Xu Gongfeng only had contact with the old lady of the Qi family and had not met Qi Bingning in person.

"Bingning, you said before that you would never marry in this life and wanted to devote your entire life to happiness. Do you still think so now?" Yang Yuting finally asked, although he was very embarrassed.

"Hmm?" Qi Bingning looked at her with amusement, pretending to be in deep thought, and looked at Yang Yuting carefully.

"Bingning, what are you doing?"

"You are so good, Yang Yuting. We haven't seen each other for many years, and you start to care about my marriage as soon as you open your mouth?"

"I, I..." Yang Yuting, who was always outspoken, was choked by the question and blushed.

"It's really surprising that you are so obsessed with practicing. I thought you would be alone in this life like me. Now it seems that you are also feeling romantic. What? You already have a lover and you are afraid that I will snatch him/her from you?" Qi Bingning was quick-witted and had already guessed something.

Yang Yuting lowered his head silently.

"Okay, I won't tease you anymore. You know my condition. Even if I get married, it will be difficult for me to have children. I will not fall in love with any man in this life, so you can rest assured." Qi Bingning said lightly after teasing for a while.

Yes, Yang Yuting then remembered that before the Qi family fell into decline, they had invited a famous doctor to diagnose Qi Bingning. She was born with a weak constitution and her legs could not bear the force of walking for a long time, which would make it difficult for her to even conceive children in the future.

Of course, this is not an incurable disease, but one needs to seek medicine from Medicine King Valley, which was difficult to do with the strength of the Qi family at that time, let alone now.

As a result, it would be impossible for Xu Gongfeng to create his own cultivation family by marrying Qi Bingning. Because the first generation of the family must branch out as much as possible, breed as many offspring as possible, and select the best from them to cultivate, so that the family can be expanded as soon as possible.

However, it was impossible for Qi Bingning to do this given her physical condition. She was so proud that she would not tolerate her man having other women. In other words, Xu Gongfeng's wishful thinking would not work at all.

After thinking this through, Yang Yuting suddenly relaxed. Facing Qi Bingning's teasing eyes, he felt quite embarrassed. After chatting with her for a while, mainly about some interesting things in his childhood, Yang Yuting said goodbye and left.

After she left, Qi Bingning looked at Ruan Shiliu and asked, "Has anyone from the family come recently?"

"Some time ago, someone kept sending gifts to the old lady. A few days ago, someone even came to visit her in person. I don't know what they wanted, but the old lady must have refused and sent all the gifts back. By the way, recently when we were studying music scores in the Purple Bamboo Forest, there was often a man squatting on a tree outside the forest and eavesdropping."

"Is there such a thing? Why didn't you tell me anything?" Qi Bingning was surprised.

"What does it matter if I say it? I am just a warrior who used strong elixirs to exhaust my potential and forced myself into the rank. I am the weakest among the rank warriors. I can't chase him away. Besides, he didn't do anything. He was so far away outside the forest. If he hadn't appeared so many times, I would have suspected that he just happened to appear there."

"Hmph, sneaky and disgusting. Who is he?"

"The Yang family recruited a priest some time ago, he is in the late ninth rank. He is so young, maybe he is eyeing the last inheritance of the Qi family. What do you think? Are you interested in meeting him?" Xu Feng was not the first warrior who had been interested in the declining Qi family, but there were fewer of them in recent years, so Ruan Shiliu was not surprised.

"No need. I have no interest in any man, especially those who practice cultivation."

"As you wish."

……

Xu Feng was feeling a little annoyed because when he went to visit the Qi family again after a few days, the old lady of the Qi family didn't even let him in.

It seems that the previous method of pestering and showing sincerity is no longer effective. This old lady is really unkind.

There was no other way. The spirituality contained in spiritual objects was also different. Judging from the few items he had obtained so far, the Heart Mirror was equivalent to the Longevity Lock, the Tortoise Shell was better than the other two, and the Qi Family old lady's Buddhist beads had the strongest induction. One was roughly equivalent to two Heart Mirrors. He couldn't give up.

Since it was not feasible to do it directly, she could only do it indirectly through her only granddaughter who she still cared about. If she was willing to ask for it on her behalf, the old lady of the Qi family would not refuse.

If it still doesn't work, he can only do a "forced sale" deal.

He poisoned the old lady of the Qi family and took away the Buddhist beads, and he cured her granddaughter as compensation.

This is different from robbing the family treasury. The Buddhist beads themselves have no special value to the Qi family. They are just used to using them. Can the old lady still be so desperate because she lost a pair of Buddhist beads that she was used to using?

Having made up his mind, Xu Feng came to the door of Qi's house again. The servants of Qi's family were speechless. This man was so shameless, and he still came? And he was an entry-level warrior, so he couldn't afford to offend him.

However, after hearing that this time he wanted to see Qi Bingning, the servant was a little surprised, but still went to report it quickly.

"Just say that I'm unwell and can't meet guests." Qi Bingning said without thinking when she heard the servant's report.

"I think this Yang family's priest is not easy to get rid of. It's better for you to meet him and talk things over. Otherwise, there will be a next time. Besides, aren't you curious at all about the man who could make Yang Yuting, a martial arts fanatic, fall in love with him?"

"Are you curious?" Qi Bingning exposed her cousin's little thoughts, but what she said did make sense.

"You should meet him for me and send him away. I don't want to see outsiders." Qi Bingning said at last. She really hated these cultivators.

"Okay! I'll make him give up." Ruan Shiliu replied.

……

When Xu Feng came to the living room and saw Ruan Shiliu, he was shocked.

"Huh? Are you Miss Qi?" She was actually one of the two girls who often studied music scores in the purple bamboo forest.

Ruan Shiliu's eyebrows slightly frowned. The other party actually pretended to be unaware of their identities. This made her have a slightly worse impression of him.

"Sorry, I'm impolite. I'm Xu Tian, ​​a priest of the Yang family. Nice to meet you, Miss Qi." Xu Feng, who was well versed in martial arts, sensed the other party's coldness and quickly bowed.

"Mr. Xu, you don't have to be so polite. I am Qi Bingning's cousin. She is not feeling well and is not convenient to meet guests." Ruan Shiliu said indifferently. Still pretending?

"Oh?" It turned out that I was wrong, it was another woman. Yes, I heard that Qi Bingning was weak and frail, no wonder she was sometimes seen sitting in a wheelchair and being pushed by the woman in front of her.

"I already know the purpose of Xu Gongfeng's visit. But my cousin is only interested in studying various musical scores and doesn't care much about anything else. I'm afraid I'll disappoint you.

Of course, if you can make friends through music, and share the same ideals and feelings with your cousin, you may be able to achieve your wish.”

Xu Feng was a little confused at first. How did he know what he was up to before he even opened his mouth? Was there some misunderstanding? But when he heard that he could make friends through music and get what he wanted, he was moved.

"Meeting friends through music? If Miss Qi is interested, I can give it a try." Xu Feng was not polite. He liked music in Blue Star and played it for quite a long time. Now in this spiritual world, he has condensed the crystal core, spirit, perception, speed, dexterity, etc., and has greatly improved in all aspects. It can be said that he is like a fish in water, much stronger than when he was in Blue Star.

"Oh?" Ruan Shiliu was slightly surprised and glanced at Xu Feng. She just added that sentence to avoid being too harsh. In fact, with Qi Bingning's attainments, there might not be many people in Tianhe Town who could satisfy her in the art of music.

"In that case, Mr. Xu, please come with me!" The words had been spoken, and of course it was difficult to take them back.

Ruan Shiliu took him to a warehouse where various musical instruments were stored.

"What is Mr. Xu good at?" She was also a little curious.

Xu Feng looked around the room, and saw all kinds of common and rare musical instruments. Xu Feng picked up a flute.

"That's it!"

After trying a few notes simply, Xu Feng found the feeling, then calmed down and started playing.

A sad and heartbreaking song, also known as Dance Under the Plum Blossoms. It was once very popular on Blue Star. It was the interlude of Xiao Li Fei Dao and was considered exclusive music. Xu Feng had practiced hard for many days and now he was quite good at playing it.

The lingering, sad and low melody sounded, full of sorrow and regret, heartbreaking and regretful. Ruan Shiliu was intoxicated by the sound of the flute, stunned and avoided seeing him. Qi Bingning, who was in her boudoir, also trembled in her heart after hearing this song for the first time, and put down what she was doing.

In the Bihe Garden, the sad flute music made everyone feel sad and inexplicably miserable.

Xu Feng finished the song. He slowly opened his eyes and saw that the other person seemed to be immersed in the music, so he did not disturb him.

However, something horrible happened next. Xu Feng's body suddenly shook violently, and he stood there, feeling as if he had been struck by an electric current. A surge of hot blood rushed straight to his head, as if it was about to burst out of his body, and the blood in his body also became agitated.

His skin turned red at a speed visible to the naked eye, like a crab about to be cooked. The fragrance of the medicine itself, like a treasure from heaven and earth, began to waft out of his pores without his control.

Xu Feng was horrified and did not care about exposing his true strength. He quickly mobilized the powerful fifth-grade late stage spiritual power in his body to suppress the restlessness of his blood. At the same time, he tried his best to control the strange fragrance of the medicine from emanating from his body.

At the same time, there is a blessed place called the Holy Gate Medicine King Valley located in the famous mountains and rivers.

Inside a cave filled with colorful and pure spiritual energy.

"Brother, I just used the blood tracking secret method to try to track it, but the distance is too far. I am afraid that it is not enough to rely on the two drops of medicine essence blood extracted. Are you sure you want to use it?" A thin, dwarf-like old man with white hair and beard asked respectfully to another old man with a long beard down to his waist. The other party was the powerful elder of Yaowang Valley who forced the little girl to break her arm and escape.
