Chapter 35: Dismissing family members, Xiuyun is suspicious (035rd update 8k) Time is money, three inches of time are worth a xin. Three days later. Inside the Chu family mansion, some crying sounds were heard, but they were all calmed down by Chu Ge. Among them, Xiao Chunhua and other maids who had the best relationship with Chu Ge, all cried bitterly, with red and swollen eyes, hoping that Chu Ge would take them away. But faced with Chu Ge's determination, the servants had no choice but to accept the severance pay and pack up their bags and leave reluctantly. Or you can choose to follow Uncle Fu and work as a waiter at Fulai Inn. Uncle Fu handed the money to Chu Ge, "Master, I don't want this money. You also need money to get by when you go out. You value it so much that you left the inn to an old man like me to run. It will be enough for me to live on in my old age." Chu Ge shook his head and smiled, pushing away Uncle Fu's hand and said, "Uncle Fu, I have already kept a lot for myself, and you can't have less of this, otherwise my parents will poke me in the spine if they know about it."

"Young Master." Uncle Fu couldn't help but be moved and his eyes turned red when he heard this. With such a boss, what more could a man ask for? He took the initiative to say, "Young Master, I will come from the inn to live here and take care of this old house for you from time to time. Otherwise, it will be overgrown with weeds in a few years, and you and the eldest lady will dislike it when you return in the future." "Yes. Uncle Fu, I trust you to do the job. I will give you the key to the house." Chu Ge nodded with a smile, and patted the shoulder of the dull and speechless Hei Gouzi. Seeing that the boy could only hold back his tears with red eyes, he laughed. "Hei Gouzi, Uncle Fu is old. After I'm gone, you should stay with Uncle Fu and take care of him. Next year, Uncle Fu will find you a marriage partner!" "Thank you, young master! I hope you have a safe journey! Come back often." Black Dog was grateful. Chu Ge waved his hand and went into the house. After packing up his things, there were several large boxes and packages, which mostly contained his precious shadow puppets and paper figures and a large amount of materials. After these things were carried out by the servants, they filled an entire carriage. "Chu Ge, you have quite a lot of stuff. Are they all paper-cut shadow puppets or something like that?" At this time, several horse-drawn carriages came on the opposite street. When the door of the first carriage opened, Wang Xiuyun stuck her head out and asked with a smile. "Not all of them. Some of them are my clothes and belongings." Chu Ge laughed and said, "Is your merchant ship ready? I'll just take it as a ride this time, and I won't have to pay for the trip." "Hitchhiking?" Wang Xiuyun was also amused by Chu Ge's sudden use of new words, but she also understood what it meant and waved her hand. "You are a master of the Bone Refining Realm. It will be much safer to have you accompany me on the road. If you give me the travel expenses, I will have to pay for you, a master." After the two chatted and laughed like this, they didn't stay for too long. Soon the coachman drove the carriage straight to the dock. It is a thousand miles to the city by water and more than eight hundred miles by land. It is a very tiring journey, and it is quite difficult considering the transportation conditions of that era. After the group had a simple meal at the Wang Family Restaurant near the pier, the porters carried all the luggage onto the Wang family's merchant ship.

Everyone got on board immediately. Wang Xiuyun had obviously made arrangements in advance and provided Chu Ge with a room on the ship that was luxuriously decorated, clean and comfortable. The floor of the house is covered with thick wool carpet, and a guqin is placed by the window. There is a toad-shaped incense burner at each corner of the house, with smoke spurting out of the toad's mouth and the fragrance filling the room. "How is it? Are you satisfied?" Wang Xiuyun said with a smile, her beautiful eyes curved into crescents. Chu Ge praised, "It's great to have such a nice room on the road. Thank you, Xiuyun." "You're welcome." Wang Xiuyun smiled, her pretty face bright, "By the way. I heard that you like paper-cut shadow puppets. I picked up some paper-cuts last time. Can you help me see what styles they are?" She took out some colorful paper-cut pieces from her bosom and handed them to Chu Ge. Chu Ge recognized almost at first sight that these paper-cut fragments were made by him. It should have been left at the scene after being shattered by the energy during the fight with the corpse driver that day. However, when Tian Youji and others arrived, he left in a hurry and had no time to clean up and take things away. However, he had already anticipated and thought about this. At this time, he pretended to frown, took it and looked at it, then couldn't help but smile. "Isn't this what I made? I've made a lot of paper-cut door god paintings and shadow puppets before, and gave them away for free to some children in the city. Whose is this? You messed it up so badly." "That's what you did? That's quite a coincidence." Wang Xiuyun opened her eyes wide in surprise, and immediately smiled and said that she also liked it very much and wanted Chu Ge to give her some. Chu Ge did not refuse. He opened a cabinet at random and let Wang Xiuyun choose some by herself. The paper figures and shadow puppets he made have been classified. The box also has interlayers, and the surface layer is filled with ordinary things for camouflage. Wang Xiuyun picked a paper lantern and left with a satisfied smile. After Chu Ge closed the door, she stared at the lantern in her hand with a puzzled look, and then thought about Chu Ge's expression just now, and murmured. “It seems I was overthinking it.” She originally suspected whether Chu Ge had any connection with that benefactor. Otherwise, why was Chu Ge suddenly rescued not long after she received the reminder from Officer Xiao Qin that day? In the house where the old benefactor had a fierce fight with the corpse driver, there were also paper-cut fragments that were suspected to be made of the same materials as those used by the Chu family. Combined with Chu Ge's ability to cultivate to the Bone Refining Realm in just two and a half years, as well as his drastically changed temperament and his strange hobbies every day. It made her feel that her childhood friend was very mysterious, just as mysterious as her benefactor, and perhaps the two had some connection.

But now it seems that maybe she was just overthinking it. Inside the room, Chu Ge walked around for a while, then took out a lady's lantern from the box, hung it in the room, and infused it with strange power. The lady on the lantern smiled sweetly, her eyes moving, telling Chu Ge not to worry. Nothing was done in the house. Chu Ge felt relieved and touched his sleeves, "Come out!" The sleeve moved slightly, and suddenly a cute little head with tender tentacles popped out. Soon the charming Xiao Qian came out, and after landing, she bowed somewhat angrily. In the past two days, she was repeatedly beaten down by Chu Ge during his training, and she became more familiar with Chu Ge, so she dared to show some small emotions. Chu Ge looked at the little boy and asked curiously, "What's wrong?" The charming Xiao Qian was still angry, but her eyes were glancing at the box opposite. Chu Ge immediately understood what he meant, so he walked over with a smile and opened the box. The charming Xiao Qian's eyes were already shining. She immediately jumped over, leaped into the box, grabbed a corner of a paper shadow puppet with a cute face, and wouldn't let go of it, as if she couldn't let it go. Chu Ge watched as the little guy dragged the paper shadow puppet out. The little guy was not even one twentieth the size of the paper shadow puppet, and the grunting appearance was quite interesting. He casually twisted up the puppet and set the rules, "You can move around in this puppet if you want, but you are confined to the room and cannot be spotted by others. After I go to the capital and settle down, you can move freely within a certain range, how about that? " When Xiao Qian heard this, her dimples suddenly appeared on her face, and she looked very pretty. She nodded repeatedly, raised her head and stared at Chu Ge, expressing her obedience. "Well, now we should get down to business. Time is precious, and cultivation is even more valuable!" Chu Ge smiled warmly. However, in Xiao Qian's eyes, this smile seemed a little scary. The thought of being drained of my energy by this big guy again made me feel extremely reluctant. But now she is in a position of favoritism after all. Chu Ge provides her with supernatural powers every day, and also gives her all kinds of beautiful "new clothes" to wear. It is much better than the previous hateful life of being confined in an ugly big iron head, unable to go anywhere and being persecuted by others. Therefore, now facing Chu Ge's daily demands, she could only express her dissatisfaction with a resentful look in her eyes, but her body still cooperated by climbing onto Chu Ge's head, extending her cute tentacles, and beginning to consume her special power to replenish her spirit and protect Chu Ge's meridians and acupoints throughout his body. "call!" Chu Ge felt the protection provided by the numerous meridians and acupuncture points in his body and let out a long breath. Seize the time to mobilize your special powers to strengthen your Qi and blood, and visualize practicing Crouching Tiger Kung Fu. With Xiao Qian protecting his meridians and acupuncture points, his training speed in two days was equivalent to three days of training in the past, and his efficiency was greatly improved. Now he can condense one-sixth of a tiger head and break through to the middle stage of the blood exchange realm.

At this rate, perhaps in two months, he would be able to cultivate to the peak of the Blood Exchange Realm, and could try the Three Flowers Gathering at the Top of the Head to find out his spiritual aptitude. The training time was shortened by one month! "The letter I sent to my eldest sister three days ago should have arrived, right?" With this thought in mind, Chu Ge entered a deeper level of practice. ... Hidden Water Sect. This sect is located on the mountainside where clouds and mist are wrapped around, and the mountain peaks seem to be wrapped in balls of soft, white cotton. The sect’s secret places are all built inside a natural cave hidden in the mountains. One day, a kite flapped its wings and flew over and landed in the mountains. Soon, a disciple delivering a letter arrived in front of a quiet and elegant building. There is a clear water pond in front of the building, and flowers and plants are planted on the other three sides. There is a plaque hanging on the top of the building with the three characters "Yingxue Tower" written in running script. "Senior Sister Chu, there is another letter from your family, sent by expedited Eagle..." (Three updates of 8,000 words!
