Chapter 4: Other Courtyard

"Can you walk faster?" The girl saw that Duan Chenfeng, who was shorter than herself, was walking slower than a rabbit. She couldn't help it. They had been walking for half an hour, and they hadn't even walked down the corridor next to the main hall.

Done, if we continue at this speed, we won't be able to leave this small courtyard even after dark.

"Oh." Duan Chenfeng saw the girl some distance away from him and hurriedly ran up to him and said, "I'm here, what's the matter?"

When the girl heard Duan Chenfeng say such a sentence, she almost lost the energy to recite it. Then, she saw the girl holding up her right hand with her left hand and placing her index finger next to her temple, as if thinking about something, very focused.

Duan Chenfeng next to him was very confused when he saw the girl. He was about to say something, but found that the girl suddenly took his hand quickly and ran towards the end of the corridor. Duan Chenfeng was pulled by the girl for the first time. She

Those weak and boneless little hands gave him a strange feeling. After all, they were still children, so how could they know so much? The setting sun shone on Duan Chenfeng's face, which was red.

After running for a while, the girl stopped, let go of Duan Chenfeng, and said, "Let's go! I'll take you to familiarize yourself with the environment of our home."

The two walked for a while, and the girl said to Duan Chenfeng: "Your name is Duan Chenfeng! My name is Xu Wanqing, from now on you can call me Wanqing."

Duan Chenfeng nodded, still did not speak, and followed her quietly.

Along the way, Xu Wanqing and Duan Chenfeng talked about Tianxia Kingdom. Tianxia Kingdom has five major cities. The largest city is Tianxia City, which is their national political and cultural center. Tianxia City is located in the center of the country. It is connected in all directions and the transportation is very convenient.

In the four directions of southeast, northwest and northwest, there are four major cities controlled by the four major families. Tianfeng City is located in the east of Tianxia Kingdom and is under the jurisdiction of their Xu family. In addition, there are Tianyu City in the south, Tianhuan City in the west and Tianhuan City in the north.

Heavenly City.

As they walked, they came to a courtyard, which was full of flowers and plants. The scenery was very charming. In the summer evening, butterflies flew over from time to time, giving people a pleasing feeling.

"This is called Binglan Courtyard. I often come here to play when I am alone. This is a forbidden area at home. My father does not allow anyone to come." Xu Wanqing said as she walked towards a stone bench next to her, wanting to do something.

, but found that it was full of dust. Duan Chenfeng saw it and came to her side. He waved his hand lightly, and a breeze blew through the stone bench. Looking at the stone bench again, it was as clean as rainwater.

.

Xu Wanqing's eyes showed a strange light, and she said in surprise: "Brother Chenfeng, have you ever learned cultivation?"

Duan Chenfeng nodded and said: "What about you? Have you ever learned it?" In his opinion, how could a child from a family like her not learn the method of cultivation? He couldn't help but feel ridiculous for what he just said.

Unexpectedly, at this time, Xu Wanqing shook her head in frustration and said, "No, my father won't let me learn!" Her words were obviously full of regret, and Duan Chenfeng couldn't help but feel sour in his heart.

Duan Chenfeng came to Xu Wanqing's side and murmured: "Can I teach you from now on?" His voice was very small, but Xu Wanqing heard it.

"Really?" After hearing this, Xu Wanqing said happily: "Thank you, Brother Chenfeng!"

Duan Chenfeng scratched his head, smiled shyly and said: "It's okay!" At this time, he saw a door at the back of the courtyard, and inside the door was a rockery. He was very curious, so he said: "Let's go over there.

Let’s go, okay?”

Xu Wanqing looked in the direction of Duan Chenfeng, her face changed, and she said, "No, my father said we can't go to the back mountain."

"Why?" Duan Chenfeng asked confused.

"I have been there once, but I fainted for no reason as soon as I walked through the door. Fortunately, my father found me in time, otherwise, I would never have been able to get out."

Hearing what Xu Wanqing said, Duan Chenfeng couldn't help but be curious and asked: "Then do you see what it looks like inside?"

Xu Wanqing thought about it and said: "After we go out, we go around the rockery. There are green flowers and grass all over the ground, leading all the way to the foot of the mountain. There is a road between the flowers and grass." He paused here and then said: "I also want to do other things.

I can't get up, it seems I only saw so much."

"Then let's go over and take a look," Duan Chenfeng said with a smile. He was very curious and wanted to know what was behind the door.

"But..." Xu Wanqing was still a little scared.

"Don't worry, I'm here!" Duan Chenfeng said, patting his chest.

"Okay!" Xu Wanqing remembered Duan Chenfeng's cultivation method just now and still had some confidence in him.

Duan Chenfeng walked forward, walked a few steps, and found Xu Wanqing still standing there, so he asked: "What's wrong?" Xu Wanqing was seen holding a green jade pendant with a kind of carving on it.

The peacock-like animal is very cute.

Xu Wanqing held the jade pendant and said, "Dad asked us to go back for dinner."

Duan Chenfeng understood that the jade pendant in Xu Wanqing's hand was a short-distance sound transmission weapon. As long as the speaker placed a teleportation array inside, he could transmit what he wanted to say to the other party. This teleportation jade pendant has

One advantage is that only the owner of the jade pendant can hear what the other party says. The teleportation formation requires strong internal force as a backing. If it fails, it will not lead to failure. The long-term teleportation distance still depends on the depth of the internal force.

"Then let's go!" Duan Chenfeng said helplessly.

The two of them were silent along the way. Duan Chenfeng was thinking about when he could go to the back mountain by himself. Xu Wanqing thought the same way. She was also thinking about when she could go to the back mountain with Duan Chenfeng.

Shan, when they came to the main hall, they stopped at the same time, raised their heads and looked at each other, with a tacit understanding. In each other's eyes, they both got a satisfactory answer, then looked at each other and smiled, and strode into the hall.

go.

"Dad, Mom, we are back." Xu Wanqing walked into the main hall and said to her parents with a smile.

"Let's go and eat!" Xu Wentian said hurriedly when he saw Duan Chenfeng and his daughter.

The dinner was very rich, and Duan Chenfeng had never eaten almost all the meals. In the past, in a small village, Duan Chenfeng could only eat home-cooked meals. Although his mother's cooking skills were extremely good, she could not cook

There are not so many tricks.

"What's wrong, brother Chenfeng?" Xu Wanqing saw him holding the rice and staring at the dishes in front of him, but not moving his chopsticks.

"No, it's nothing." Duan Chenfeng smiled slightly and started eating. Everyone could see that his smile was uglier than crying.

After a while, Duan Chenfeng finished the rice in the bowl, stood up and said, "I'm done eating, uncle and aunt, please eat slowly."

"Okay!" Duan Chenfeng smiled slightly and shouted to the door: "Afu, take Master Chenfeng to his room, the one in the southwest courtyard."

"Yes." A servant came over and said.

As soon as Duan Chenfeng and the servant named Ah Fu left, Xu Wanqing stood up and said, "Father, mother, I'll go down. Brother Chenfeng is not familiar with this place."

"No, just eat obediently here." Xu Wentian put down his chopsticks and said to his daughter.

"Dad." Xu Wanqing said coquettishly and dissatisfied, "Just let me go!"

"Okay, go ahead!" At this time, the young woman, Wan Qing's mother, said, "Go ahead! Go back to the room early then."

"Thank you, mother." Xu Wanqing said happily, and after saying that, she chased after Duan Chenfeng in the direction he left.

After Xu Wanqing left, Xu Wentian said seriously to the lady next to him: "Xin'er, how could you take the initiative to let them be together!"

The young woman, who Xu Wentian called Xin'er, was named Yuan Xin. Seeing her husband's serious look, she smiled and said, "What's wrong! You can ask them to go out together in the afternoon, but now I can't let them go together?"

Xu Wentian said: "That's different!"

"Why is it different?" Yuan Xin asked hurriedly.

"I was afraid that boy would run around this afternoon and not know the way around. It's already dark now, so it wouldn't be nice to have the two of them together!" Xu Wentian said with some worry.

"Haha!" Yuan Xin said with a smile: "How old are they? Don't worry, they'll be fine."

"You also know that, if something happens in the future... we won't be able to afford it." Xu Wentian sighed and continued eating.

Yuan Xin didn't know what her husband was talking about. If it really went against his wishes, it might cause a bloody storm.

At night, the mansion seems much quieter. The corridor next to it is full of lights, and servants come and go from time to time. Duan Chenfeng has followed Ah Fu to the southwest courtyard. Ah Fu found Duan Chen from some keys.

The one in Feng's room opened the door, lit the light, and said to Duan Chenfeng: "Master, this will be your room from now on. If you have anything to do, you can call the servants outside the yard. And if you have nothing to do, try to stay here."

Inside the courtyard..."

"Okay, Ah Fu, please go down! Brother Chenfeng and I have agreed on the following matters." Xu Wanqing's words echoed in the room, interrupting Ah Fu's unfinished words.

Duan Chenfeng heard Xu Wanqing's voice and quickly looked outside the room, only to see Wan Qing standing at the door smiling slightly at him.

"Yes, miss." Ah Fu didn't say much, walked out of the yard, and disappeared into the dark night in the blink of an eye.

After watching Ah Fu leave, Duan Chenfeng hurriedly came to Xu Wanqing, pulled her into the room, closed the door, and said worriedly: "Why did you come to me?"

"Mom asked me to come and tell you some simple things about the house." Xu Wanqing saw Duan Chenfeng's nervous look and found it funny, and the smile on her face never stopped.

"That's right!" Duan Chenfeng said dullly, "I thought you came here alone!"

"Haha!" Xu Wanqing said with a smile: "Idiot, there are so many people in the house, is it easy for me to come here alone? I can't come at all if dad just says a word."

Duan Chenfeng thought about it and asked, "You really came to talk to me about those trivial things." Thinking of this, he felt a little grateful.

"Of course not." Xu Wanqing found a stool and said calmly.

"Ah?" Duan Chenfeng asked hurriedly: "Then what are you here for?"

"Hee hee!" Xu Wanqing sneaked up to Duan Chenfeng, making him hairy. She whispered in Duan Chenfeng's ear: "I'm here to ask you when you are going to the back mountain."

."

"What?" Duan Chenfeng lost his voice.

Such a loud sound startled Xu Wanqing who was next to her, and asked in an unclear manner: "What's wrong, brother Chenfeng?"

Duan Chenfeng thought to himself: How did you know I wanted to go back to the mountain? But he said: "It's okay, it's okay."

"It's okay. You will live here from now on. If you have anything to do, you can call the servant outside the yard. If you are bored during the day, you can come and play with me. That's all. It's getting late, so I'll go back first." Xu

Wan Qing said and was about to open the door. When the door was halfway open, she suddenly closed it quickly. She ran back to Duan Chenfeng and said, "You haven't told me when you went to the back mountain."

I haven't forgotten it yet! Duan Chenfeng was depressed in his heart. "Um, this..." Duan Chenfeng didn't know when he was going to the back mountain, so how could he tell the girl in front of him!

"What is that!" Xu Wanqing was very anxious, but Duan Chenfeng only finished half of what she said.

"I'm also thinking about when to go!" Duan Chenfeng murmured.
