Phantom Spear - C153

Previously, he mentioned that Xiao Muyu was anxiously treating Yue Xingchen inside the house. The people waiting outside were all very worried, especially Lin Ziquan and Gui Xuerou. At this time, Jiang Feng had brought Liu Bingbing to the backyard, but he had angered Huang Yue into walking away.

Jiang Feng thought: What Big Brother Yan said before wasn’t unreasonable, could it be such a coincidence? Previously, he had personally witnessed Liu Bingbing entering and exiting the Death Land Sect freely. Later, when Du Shaoyang was injured, she had rushed over just in time. And today, Wan Tianba had caused a ruckus outside the Virtuous Talent Gathering Hall. After Wan Xingyun persuaded him to leave, Liu Bingbing appeared again, saying that she was here to congratulate him on getting the Virtuous Talent Gathering Hall to pay attention to this. The last time she came outside to assassinate Zhan Qun, she was an expert in martial arts, who was she working so hard for? If the Wan father and son wanted to take her life, they didn’t need to ask for help. They could just do it themselves. Furthermore, a proud and arrogant person like Zhan Qun was not someone that an ordinary person could move from. Her previous plan to go outside of the city was only a temporary one. If it wasn’t for her connections and connections, how could she have known her whereabouts like the back of his hand?

Thinking about that, Liu Shichen’s figure appeared in his mind. If Liu Shichen really wanted to assassinate him, then he could very likely let Liu Bingbing bait him and lure him in, and in the end, annihilate the Virtuous Talent Gathering Hall in one go. Thinking up to here, his body was struck by a thunderbolt, and he was drenched in cold sweat.

Carrying these worries, Jiang Feng walked to Liu Bingbing’s side and said: “Miss Liu, since there is still no news from here, why don’t you go to my study first? It is quiet there, the two of us can talk for a while.” What Jiang Feng said was exactly what Liu Bingbing wanted, so of course she would agree without hesitation. Jiang Feng turned around and said to everyone, “Everyone, you don’t have to worry. Not only was I severely injured and poisoned, Lady Xiao was able to revive me. Gui Xuerou sarcastically said, “Hmph, you’re a good person now, if you knew it would turn out like this, you wouldn’t have let my senior brother go.”

Although Lin Ziquan was worried for him, she was still able to maintain his calm. She used her senior sister’s imposing tone and said: “Junior Sister, do not speak nonsense. Gui Xuerou turned her face to the side, no longer looking at him. Jiang Feng had no choice but to say to Yan Kuo: “Big Brother Yan, there are some things I need to discuss with you privately. If Lady Xiao comes out, I’ll trouble you to send someone to my study to inform me. I will discuss other matters with you in the future. ” Yan Kuo closed her eyes and nodded, then said in a low voice: “You can go, I’ll watch over from here.” Jiang Feng and Liu Bingbing bade farewell to the crowd and went to Jiang Feng’s study together.

Jiang Feng pushed open the door and invited her in. What entered Liu Bingbing’s eyes was the “Dual Tiger Pouncing Stone Map” on the wall. Liu Bingbing looked around, and saw a signboard in the middle with the words “Zhu Xian Zong” written on it. She smiled and turned to Jiang Feng: “Young Master Chiang, I never thought that your study would be called ‘Zhu Xian Zong’, this name sounds so nice! “So you like ‘Bamboo Forest’s Seven Sages’ too. I’ve never heard you mention it before.” As Jiang Feng heard the name “Seven Sages of the Bamboo Forest”, an impression appeared in his mind, but he was unable to recall it immediately. He said with a wry smile, “Miss Liu, you have really praised me, Jiang Feng, this tablet was already hung here the moment I came to the Virtuous Talent Gathering Hall. This is the name bestowed to me by the Emperor, I like it very much myself.” Liu Bingbing caressed Jiang Feng’s desk and said: “So that’s how it is. Let me tell Young Master Chiang the story of ‘Bamboo Forest’s Seven Sages’.”

When Jiang Feng was reading the books, he had seen this name before. Now that he had gained interest and also wanted to clarify the situation, he said: “Alright, Miss Liu, please take a seat. I’ll pour some tea for you.” Liu Bingbing pulled out the chair and sat down, Jiang Feng picked up the teapot on the table, casually picked up a cup, and placed it in front of Liu Bingbing, and steeped a cup of good tea for her. Liu Bingbing closed her eyes and could not help but praise: “Good tea! I didn’t expect you to make tea. ” Jiang Feng shyly shook his head, and said embarrassedly: “No, no, I’m just a boor. I don’t even know anything about the Way of Tea, I’m sorry about that, Miss Liu.” Liu Bingbing looked at Jiang Feng, the anger in his heart gradually disappeared, and said: “The tea leaves are the same, but they have different flavors, because the people who make the tea are different.” Jiang Feng sneaked a glance at her and realised Liu Bingbing was looking at him, and quickly retracted her gaze. Because he didn’t want to be stuck in such a trap, and in the end, she ended up harming herself and Liu Bingbing. He quickly changed the topic and said: “Miss Liu, you haven’t told me the story of the ‘Bamboo Forest’s Seven Sages’.” Liu Bingbing was already satisfied that she was able to chat with Jiang Feng alone. She took a sip of tea and lectured, “The Seven Sages of Bamboo Forest ‘, were the seven famous reclusive sages in the Wei and Jin Dynasties. They were Ji Kang, Ruan Yun, Shan Tao, Xiang Xiu, Liu Wei, Wang Rong and Ruan Yan. At that time, they were living in seclusion in the bamboo forest near Shanyang County in Henan Province. The ideas and attitudes of the seven of them were different from those of the ‘Jianan Seven’ in the last years of the Eastern Han Dynasty. They all believed in ‘not Tang Wu but Zhou Kong, more famous and more natural’, ‘to abandon the classics and to be old, to slander the law and to glorify the law’. Life does not adhere to the secular law of etiquette, in pursuit of a quiet life. I personally very much admire this life attitude and uninhibited character, and sometimes I really envy them for not being able to go through with the world, drinking and chatting with close friends all day long, and having the happiest time of their lives. ”

Jiang Feng could not help but sigh. “That’s right, the people of this world, in order to gain power, wealth, and status, do whatever they can to achieve their goals, are not afraid to do such heinous things. In comparison to the Bamboo Forest’s Seven Sages, the Bamboo Forest’s Seven Sages are indeed great sages! ” Liu Bingbing could tell that Jiang Feng’s words were laced with thorns, because her father was the current prime minister of an extremely popular official. Jiang Feng also noticed his slip of tongue and said hurriedly: “Miss Liu, I have read very little and am not good with words. If you say anything wrong, I’ll apologize. Please don’t blame me. ”

Liu Bingbing had been doted upon by her father as the apple of her eye since she was young, and was deeply doted on by her father. However, she also knew that sometimes, her father would do things that she did not know about, much less want to know, for her own power and position. She slightly lowered her head and looked at the tea leaves floating within the cup as she said indifferently, “If everyone can comprehend the realm of the Bamboo Forest’s Seven Sages, then there would no longer be any scheming in this world. No more fighting for power, no more massacres.” Jiang Feng saw that Liu Bingbing was feeling down and comforted, “Miss Liu, although the Bamboo Forest’s Seven Sages are great sages, there is still a flaw in their lifestyle. The secular etiquette method was very helpless. Without these restrictions, those who only saw the appearance of the seven sages would become careless and unrestrained. There are two sides to everything in the world. How about we just look at the front and not talk about it in the opposite way. Wouldn’t that make us feel better? ” Liu Bingbing nodded her head in agreement, and laughed: “Young Master Chiang is right, only by taking its essence to its dregs can we improve ourselves, there will be more talented people in this world. Since I was young, I have been able to read and write, and my level is not even one or two of yours. Young Master Chiang, you have also read some poetry books, right? ” Jiang Feng was lost in thought as he looked at the Dual Tiger Fighting Stones on the wall, then he said slowly: “Hmm, I have read some before! Originally, I had the chance to read even more good books, but after some unforeseen events occurred, I never had the chance again. ” Liu Bingbing asked curiously: “Young Master Chiang, did something happen when you were young?” Being asked this question, Jiang Feng knew that he had spoken incorrectly and quickly laughed out loud: “Oh, actually it’s not a big deal, because the master that taught me martial arts did not want me to continue studying. He said that studying was of no use, so it would be better to learn a set of martial arts instead.” Actually, Lei Jin wanted Jiang Feng to be able to read and write more, but after experiencing the change in Jiang’s Mansion, he had concealed his identity, went out and kept a low profile. Furthermore, his life was difficult, and it was rare for him to have the opportunity to purchase a classic for Jiang Feng to read. At the moment, in order for Liu Bingbing to not be suspicious, Jiang Feng could only say that …

What about later?

And then we’ll see how it breaks down in the next round.
