Chapter 251: Secretly Smelling the Lotus Flower
Banxia was very puzzled as to why Liu Xia left alone without even saying hello. If she hadn't come out to fetch water and seen him carrying a bag, she wouldn't have known where he had gone even if she had lost him.
It’s not that Banxia cares about Liu Xia, but she is afraid that Elder Chengxin will ask about the whereabouts of her disciple, and she doesn’t know how to respond.
But no matter how strange it was, Banxia had no intention of chasing after him - it was because Liu Xia had been acting weird lately.
Besides, how could a poor girl from a farming family know about the philandering thoughts of a rich boy? Let him be!
But the bad thing was that the Bagua plate on her waist started spinning for no reason, making a whirring sound, which made Banxia irritable.
"Okay, okay, I got it!" Banxia picked up the Bagua plate helplessly, waited for it to stop, and took a look. It turned out to be an ominous omen.
This made Banxia feel embarrassed. She frowned and her expression changed constantly.
According to the hexagram, Liu Xia's trip would most likely be dangerous, but Banxia really didn't want to get involved in Liu Xia's affairs.
Just when Banxia decided not to meddle in other people's business and was about to fetch some water and go back to the house, the Bagua plate suddenly had a flash of inspiration, as if urging her.
Banxia hesitated in the corner for a long time, her finger bones holding the basin were so white from being pinched, but she finally compromised.
Forget it, forget it. After all, we are from the same school, so I will save you and it will be considered a favor to you!
However, what Banxia did not expect was that Liu Xia's speed was so fast. She only hesitated for a moment, and when she chased out, he had disappeared.
This place is close to Cangzhou City. Could it be that he went home to visit his relatives?
Thinking of this, Banxia felt that it made sense, so she relied on her memory and went all the way to Cangzhou City.
After all, Banxia seldom went out, and the Bagua plate no longer responded. It took her a lot of detours along the way, and it took a long time to find the governor's mansion.
But what surprised her was that the gate of the governor's mansion was decorated with lights and colors, as if there was a happy event.
Could it be that Liu Xia was in such a hurry to come back to get married? But he had been in such a mess at home before, and had made up his mind to practice Taoism, so why did he want to get married now?
Could it be that you regret it?
In this case, there is no need to worry about him anymore. I think the bad omen shown by the Bagua plate earlier might be referring to this.
Forget it, forget it. It is better to demolish a temple than to destroy a relationship.
He insisted on getting married, so why should she stop him? Just let him go!
Banxia made up her mind not to pay any more attention to it and turned to leave, but when she turned around, she saw Lingxiang and Xiaobai looking at her with a smile.
This frightened Banxia so much that she covered her chest and muttered, "Did these two people float here? Why is there no sound at all?"
Wait! How did they get here?
Lingxiang did not explain much, but just smiled and waved to Banxia.
Banxia didn't know what Lingxiang wanted to do, but she must have her reasons, so she leaned over to listen, but what she heard surprised her.
"So so, so so..."
……
A palm wind came at Liu Xia's face with a whistling sound. Liu Xia quickly exerted force on his waist and leaned back, barely dodging it.
After somersaults, he finally stood still, but he didn't expect the man to come forward again and attack him with another palm, this time aimed at Liu Xia's chest.
Liu Xia dodged calmly while feeling extremely confused and surprised.
Because the eldest sister Liu Lan was a girl, her mother did not agree to her father teaching her kung fu, so the person in front of her must not be the eldest sister. Since this person had martial arts skills, there was no need to be polite. He should be captured first, and then ask her where the eldest sister was.
Thinking of this, Liu Xia turned around and dodged the man's attack. Then he turned around and punched the man directly in the abdomen. The speed of his punch was so fast that one could hear the sound of his bones changing.
He originally thought that this person was just an ordinary mortal who had learned some Kung Fu skills, but he did not expect that the person could actually see the power of his punch. Before his punch got close to him, the person stepped back.
Liu Xia frowned, feeling that the man was not simple.
He thought his opponent was just an ordinary warrior, but in order to defeat him with one move, he had thrown a punch with a trace of spiritual power, so the punch was so fast, but he didn't expect that the man could see through it at a glance. From this point of view, this man must be no ordinary person.
However, he did not have the Huasheng Sword with him at the moment, and had no other weapons to use, so he could only fight him with his fists and feet.
Fortunately, Master Chengxin had foresight. When Liu Xia was practicing with him, Master Chengxin asked Liu Xia not to rely too much on weapons and to strengthen his body. Therefore, during that period, Liu Xia's boxing and kicking skills also improved.
After all, physical martial arts are the foundation of weapon training.
Since that person is also a person of inner cultivation, there is no need to be polite.
Liu Xia held his breath and concentrated, secretly moving his spirit around his body, focusing it on his fist, using stillness to control movement, waiting for his opponent to make a move. But somehow, the man did not move.
Strangely enough, although the man was waiting still, he bumped into something for no reason, and with a clang, porcelain fell to the ground.
Seeing this, Liu Xia raised the corner of his mouth and punched in the direction of the voice.
When two parties confront each other, the one who strikes first is often the most likely to reveal flaws, but since the opponent has already been exposed, it is better to strike first.
I saw that the fist was filled with spiritual energy, which made the punch look extremely sharp. It was carried by the strong wind and flew straight into the darkness.
But unexpectedly, this punch seemed to hit cotton wool. Not only was it soft, but there was no feeling of hitting the target at all.
Liu Xia threw a punch and just as she was about to retract it, she found that her fist seemed to be held by something and could not move at all. At this moment, a hand wrapped around her arm like a snake.
"Such soft and silky hands!" Liu Xia couldn't help but exclaimed.
No wonder the punch just now seemed to hit cotton wool, it turned out to be a soft inch-force skill. But this soft inch-force silk-wrapping hand was clearly the skill of Master Donghui, why did the man in front of him know this trick?
Could it be that?
As if to confirm Liu Xia's thoughts, after hearing him speak, the man also spoke in surprise:
"Liu Xia?"
It was actually Banxia! But how could she be in the eldest sister's room?
Liu Xia was full of doubts, but at this moment, there was a knock on the door.
"Miss? But what happened? Why is there such a loud noise in the room?" It was the maid of the eldest daughter of the Liu family.
"No...it's okay..." Banxia quickly covered Liu Xia's mouth, and then replied: "I just woke up and felt thirsty, so I got up and poured some water."
But this reply did not send the maid outside away. She only asked again: "I heard something broke. Did the young lady knock over the teacup? Don't hurt the young lady again. I will come and clean it up."
The maid was about to push the door open, but found that it couldn't be opened at all.
Liu Xia couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief - luckily he had bolted the door when he came in. He hurriedly wanted to tell Banxia, but found that her hand was still covering her mouth, and that hand...
It smells pretty good...
It's like the fragrance of lotus flowers deep in a summer pond.
"It's okay. The door is bolted. I've already lain down. It will be the same if I clean tomorrow. Go back and have a rest!" Banxia said hurriedly.
Hearing this, the maid outside the door responded and left.
Banxia waited for a long time, and after making sure that there was no one outside the door, she realized that she was still covering Liu Xia's mouth, and quickly let go of her hand.
Fortunately, the two of them did not open their spiritual vision, otherwise Liu Xia would have seen the unnatural expression on Banxia's face.
But Liu Xia's next words made Banxia even more at a loss.
"You... smell so good..."
