Villain: I am not good at fighting.

Chapter 456 Beichen Fushenglu Hengyu Comes to Propose Marriage

The strange phenomena in the study gradually calmed down. Xie Xiaoyu and Li Zhiyun turned a blind eye to Mr. Taiyue's behavior. Liu Muqing's confusion disappeared and she clasped her hands together and saluted respectfully again.

"Thank you very much, sir, for clearing up my doubts. It has really enlightened me."

Mr. Taiyue withdrew his hand and nodded with satisfaction, then tested her again. Liu Muqing answered all the questions fluently, and Li Zhiyun beside her couldn't help but widen her eyes.

"How can I remember more than her when I cram for an exam?"

When Mr. Taiyue's gaze came over, Li Zhiyun hurriedly stood up straight. She had only memorized half of the homework, and there were many loopholes in her words after just a few sentences.

Then she sat at the same table with Xie Xiaoyu. About half an hour later, Mr. Taiyue's daughter Pingping poked half of her head out of the door.

"Dad, Mom said it's time to eat."

Xie Xiaoyu and Li Zhiyun both breathed a sigh of relief, sighing that the torture was finally over.

Liu Muqing remained indifferent and continued to listen to Mr. Taiyue's talk about the integration of the three religions. Her eyes were empty, as if she was a puppet without a soul.

She didn't know why the teacher didn't teach classics or policy essays, or the Four Books and Five Classics, but she only knew that the Three Teachings were the mainstream in the Zhou Dynasty.

If scholars do not study Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism, they will be "demons" that the world cannot tolerate.

"That's all for today. Go back and review your lessons. I'll test you again after New Year's Day. Who wouldn't remember it by then? Humph!"

Mr. Taiyue's majestic cold snort made the two girls' hearts tremble, and they hurriedly responded obediently. Liu Muqing stood up stiffly and walked towards the front hall.

As soon as I walked out of the room, I heard Mr. Taiyue calling from behind.

"Mu Qing."

Liu Muqing turned around mechanically and saluted to Mr. Taiyue:

"I am here, what instructions do you have, sir?"

Mr. Taiyue took out a book titled "Golden Light and Fireflies" from the bookshelf and said:

"You are different from them. You have studied the lessons taught by your teacher seriously. Take this book back and think carefully about the principles in it."

The surface of the golden book cover is written with "Beichen Fushenglu" in ancient Taoist seal script.

"Thank you for the gift, sir."

Liu Muqing did not open the book. After being cleansed by Mr. Taiyue's righteous spirit, her heart became less lively and had more of something that shouldn't be there.

After lunch, some time later Liu Bai took Liu Muqing on their way home. She sat in the carriage motionless.

This kind of unusual behavior of Reagan on weekdays did not seem unusual in the eyes of people around him.

"Strange, how come the entourage from the county magistrate's mansion appeared in my house?"

Near the Liu family courtyard, there were several followers standing at the door. Liu Bai's puzzled voice made Liu Muqing unconsciously look up at the door.

My mother said that she wanted to take my eldest sister to the county magistrate's residence for a blind date. Under normal circumstances, they should have stayed at the county magistrate's residence, but now the entourage from the county magistrate's residence appeared at the Liu family.

"Well, Master Liu's carriage, Young Master and Miss Liu are back."

The attendant at the door saw Liu Bai's carriage and shouted inside.

After a while, a handsome young man in his early twenties walked out of the Liu family's gate and came to Liu Bai's carriage.

"My nephew greets Uncle Liu, and wishes you a happy new year and all the best."

"Oh my, young master Guan, you can't do this. It's embarrassing for me."

Liu Bai got out of the car as if he was in a hurry, and stopped the young man's courtesy with both hands. The relevant information about this person automatically emerged in Liu Muqing's mind.

Guan Hengyu, the son of the county magistrate, was smart and intelligent since childhood. He was well-versed in the Four Books and Five Classics and had a very upright character.

When the Zhou Dynasty was ruled by a female emperor, men mainly studied the Four Books and Five Classics to govern the country, while women learned the essence of Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism to suppress evil spirits.

The original intention of the empress was to reverse the situation of male superiority and female inferiority that had existed since ancient times, but such a large dynasty was the result of natural evolution over hundreds and thousands of years.

How could she change it overnight? The government's orders cannot reach the mortal world, and the imperial edict cannot win people's hearts. A man of blood has a strong heart, and a woman has a heroic look between her brows.

With so many factors intertwined, it is impossible to say who is superior or inferior; everything depends on the present.

"Miss Liu, I have heard your sister's explanation of the matter. You wrote that poem. You hold the sun and the moon in your hands and pick the stars. There is no one like you in the world.

Tsk tsk tsk, I am very curious about you. What kind of mind do you have to have such talent? So I advised my father to agree to this marriage with the Liu family.

But the one I’m going to marry is you~"

ha?

Liu Muqing pointed at herself woodenly, confirming Guan Hengyu's words and said:

"Master Guan, I'm only ten years old this year, are you sure?"

She was not yet of marriageable age, but the young master was already in his twenties.

Liu Bai, who was standing by, straightened his chest unconsciously when he heard this, and said with his hands behind his back:

"They are a good match, but I will only nod if Qingqing agrees. I don't want to force my daughter."

"Of course I don't..."

Liu Muqing was about to refuse when she suddenly remembered what Mr. Taiyue had taught her today.

"A kind person should be kind to others and help others. My father has been raising me for many years. Is it not good for me to reject him so decisively?"

She was silent.

Guan Hengyu thought she was shy, so he did not pressure her further, but comforted her gently:

"If love is long-lasting, it doesn't matter if we are together day and night. An engagement is just a promise, it doesn't mean you have to marry me right away.

Mu Qing, you have time to think about it, I can wait. Besides, this is an article I came across by chance, and I treasure it all my life.

I’m giving it to you today as a token of my appreciation.”

Guan Hengyu took out a roll of worn sheepskin from his arms, handed it to Liu Bai, then told his entourage to say goodbye and leave.

"Uncle Liu, I am sorry to bother you. I will come to visit you again tomorrow."

"Hehehe...Xiaoyu, take care~"

Unconsciously, Liu Bai changed the way he addressed Guan Hengyu. He glanced at his daughter and saw that she was looking at him as if she was struggling with something.

"He's a good kid and his family is well-off. Your father doesn't want you to suffer in the future."

Liu Muqing nodded obediently to show that she understood what her father meant. She took the worn sheepskin he handed over and carefully read the Taoist characters on it.

The Tao is evil, the devil turns into a blade and can be cut off.

Go with the flow, defy fate, and be worry-free.

The world changes with time, people’s hearts are no longer the same, the mountains and rivers in the city are hard to be at peace, travel 90,000 miles with a normal mind, break out of the cocoon and become a butterfly, turn into an immortal!

Rumble…

The righteous energy emanated from her body, and the calm Liu Muqing was once again enveloped by a sense of being stripped away.

She saw the sky full of golden sand completely engulfing her, and even her flesh and blood turned into flowing golden sand.

This was not just a simple illusion. Someone was trying to correct her and remind her that she seemed to be heading towards a critical choice point.

She must resist before she gets lost again, or she will be lost forever.

A golden jade hand stretched out from the chensha, and the index finger and ring finger exerted force on the middle finger to break it off. The golden blood flowed through the chensha into Liu Muqing's brow.

Finally, his consciousness guided the golden blood to draw a strange symbol between his eyebrows.

"Heaven created all things to nourish man, but man has nothing to repay Heaven. Kill...kill...kill..."

Chensha was buried at the bottom, and the golden jade hand was like a broken proud plum blossom, fighting against the frost and snow alone. Liu Muqing once again sank into the Zuowang Tianmen.
