C926 Grass Manor
Ling Juan, who was pulling Hsu Qiuchan forward, suddenly turned her head and said with a smile, "Young Master Du, you should hurry up. How can you slow down like a boy? Are we going to the Heart Nourishing Pavilion or the Heart Nourishing Pavilion?"
Chung Mengqi laughed and said, "Young Master Du is a young man with a heavy heart. He is not like a little girl who will never grow up and is always in a rush. This was the first time Young Master Du came to visit, yet you asked him this question. Isn't this making things difficult for others? You can go wherever you want. Anyway, Young Master Du still needs to stay for a few days. You guys can play with him."
Ling Juan smiled happily and said, "That's great! The Heart Nourishing Pavilion is a considerable mountain and can also look at the lake. It does not have the medicinal taste of the Heart Nourishing Pavilion. How about we go to the Heart Nourishing Pavilion?"
Du Qi could only say," Alright, Miss Ling, please! "
The Heart Nourishing Pavilion was built by the mountain and water, and it had a clear view. The scenery outside the pavilion was beautiful. Sitting quietly in the pavilion could indeed nourish one's heart and mind. It was the best place for family members to leisurely savor tea. But it was not a place to treat guests. It seemed that whether it was Ling Juan or Chung Mengqi... They did not treat Du Qi as a guest, but as if he was their best friend for many years. This made Du Qi feel warm.
After entering the Heart Healing Pavilion, Chung Mengqi called out, "Let's sit in the pavilion for a while. We will go and eat later. Young Master Du, Ms Qin, and Little Chan, please take a seat!"
Du Qi thanked her and sat around the white jade table in the center of the pavilion with Chung Mengqi, Xuanyuan Lanqin, Ling Juan and Hsu Qiuchan. Cheng Liangyou stood quietly behind Chung Mengqi and Du Qi and did not sit with them.
Just as they sat down, a servant girl brought tea and pastries. Chung Mengqi smiled and said, "This is a medicinal tea brewed with top quality medicinal ingredients such as Mountain Poria Poria Essence. It has the ability to enhance one's spirit and vitality. It is a specialty of my Hundred Herb Manor. Young Master Du, try it and you will know that what I said is true. "
Just as the fragrant tea was served, Du Qi could already smell that this tea not only had the fragrance of the tea, but also the fragrance of the tea. There was also a faint medicinal fragrance. It was just that this smell... It already made one feel comfortable. When the tea entered one's mouth, it felt refreshing and smooth. It also felt heavy and heavy, and the taste was even mellow and long. Du Qi could not help but praise, "Good tea!"
Chung Mengqi smiled happily and said, "To be able to receive Young Master Du's praise, my heart is enough. Young Master Du, please try these pastries again and see how it tastes."
Du Qi was originally an expert in making pastries and pastries. He only looked at the shape of these pastries. He knew that it took a lot of effort, and it was the work of a master. It was not something that an ordinary pastry chef could do. What was even more rare was that... These pastries were fragrant and crispy. They melted into dregs when they entered his mouth, causing Du Qi to be unable to help but exclaim repeatedly.
Chung Mengqi said happily, "There are also some medicinal ingredients in these pastries that can enhance one's spirit and vitality. They are most suitable for martial artists like us to eat. Young Master Du said happily, These pastries also have some medicinal ingredients that can boost one's spirit and qi. They are most suitable for martial artists like us to eat. Since you think they are delicious, eat more. Ms Qin, Little Chan, don't be idle either. There is still some time before lunch. Use these pastries to make the bottom of the pot. "
Even though Xuanyuan Lanqin and Chung Mengqi had a good relationship, they rarely came to Hundred Grass Manor to be guests. Hsu Qiuchan was even rarer and had a rare taste of the medicinal tea pastries here. At this moment, she naturally would not be polite.
Hsu Qiuchan and Ling Juan seldom met but every time they met, Ling Juan would always pull Hsu Qiuchan along to play. Taking out the things that she loved to share with Hsu Qiuchan was no exception at this moment. Ling Juan took out almost all the things that were worth showing off on her body for Hsu Qiuchan to watch and evaluate. Finally, she took out a sachet. She shook the sachet at the tip of Hsu Qiuchan's nose and proudly said, "Sister Chan, this sachet was recently made by Master for me. It tastes pretty good, right?"
The fragrance of this sachet had long since rushed out of the Hundred Grass Manor when Ling Juan rushed out. At this moment, Ling Juan took out the sachet to show off. It seemed to be a very normal thing and no one would suspect anything. But Xuanyuan Lanqin's expression suddenly changed and just as she was about to speak, Chung Mengqi rushed to shout, "Juan'er, quickly put away the sachet and put it back in your room for later!"
Seeing Chung Mengqi's words, Xuanyuan Lanqin did not say anything but the doubt on her face did not decrease at all. Ling Juan acted as if she had done something wrong and made a face. She quickly got up and jumped out of the pavilion. At the same time, she smiled and said, "Yes, Master! Master only reminded me now. Isn't it a little late? "
Chung Mengqi's expression changed when she heard this. She exclaimed, "Juan'er, what do you want to do?" She shouted as she got up and chased after Ling Juan.
Du Qi did not feel uncomfortable when he smelled the fragrance in Ling Juan's sachet. But seeing Xuanyuan Lanqin's reaction, Chung Mengqi and Ling Juan took the opportunity to leave the Heart Healing Pavilion. He already knew that the situation was not good and was just about to call Xuanyuan Lanqin and Hsu Qiuchan who were still sitting there to pay attention to the changes. She suddenly felt a strong force rushing towards her from behind.
There was no time for him to react in time. Just out of instinct, Du Qi turned around and raised his palm to meet the force.
Although it was a hasty response, Du Qi still hit Cheng Liangyou, who had ambushed him, and sent him flying out of the Heart Healing Pavilion. He did not move at all.
When Du Qi was about to ask about the sudden change, he felt his legs go weak. The pavilion suddenly fell to the ground. Du Qi was calm in the face of danger. He quickly summoned his divine power and shot out of the pavilion like a bolt of lightning.
As soon as Du Qi moved, he heard a soft laugh. Cheng Liangyou had blocked Du Qi's way. He waved his hands, and with a strong wind, he threw himself at Du Qi's head.
Du Qi didn't have time to take out his sword and saber, so he could only use his palms against his palms.
Four palms collided, and Cheng Liangyou was sent flying away by Du Qi. He also suffered some minor injuries, but Du Qi did not jump out of the Heart Nourishing Pavilion as he wished. He was forced to fall into the ground with the pavilion. Xuanyuan Lanqin and Hsu Qiuchan, who were sitting there and did not have time to react, naturally ended up in the same situation as him.
As he fell, Du Qi secretly circulated the Profound Arts, trying to slow down the speed of his descent as much as possible. Suddenly, he saw Xuanyuan Lanqin, who was still screaming, move slightly, even though the falling speed was still very fast. However, she did not have to worry about falling down and getting hurt. This was totally different from the situation where she did not have time to react in time and could still calmly react in panic. Hsu Qiuchan, on the other hand, did not react at all. She did not know whether she was scared and only focused on screaming or had lost her strength. If she fell down just like that, she would definitely be seriously injured.
Seeing this, Du Qi could not help but move his mind. Not only did he not slow down the falling momentum, but he also sped up his descent. At the same time, he let out a fierce roar, as if he had been frightened out of his wits when he suddenly encountered danger.
Feeling Hsu Qiuchan's affection for him, Du Qi naturally did not want Hsu Qiuchan to be hurt at all. So, Du Qi pretended to be careless and reached out his hand to randomly grab Hsu Qiuchan. He pulled Hsu Qiuchan to his side and hugged her. As he worked on his back, he slightly twisted his body, making his body fall down in the air.
Although he was prepared, the moment his back touched the ground, Du Qi still felt his entire body tremble. He and Hsu Qiuchan freely fell from high up and collided with the powerful impact from the ground. Du Qi could not help but feel his blood and Qi tumbling. He saw stars shining in front of him. There was no need to pretend at all. Du Qi could not help but cry out in pain. At that moment, Du Qi did not even have the strength to push Hsu Qiuchan, who was still lying on his body.
