Boom! Boom! Boom!

Luo Qingzhou did the Thunder Fist a few more times, but this time, no lightning appeared.

“How weird,” Luo Qingzhou thought.

After practicing the Thunder Fist twice, he did not dare to stay here any longer. He immediately left the passageway and washed his body at the bottom of the lake.

When he surfaced, he realized that it was almost dark.

After seeing that there was no abnormality around him, he carefully swam ashore and returned to the small courtyard.

Xiao Die was sitting on a small stool in the kitchen, embroidering.

The dishes were all heated up in the pot.

Seeing that Luo Qingzhou had returned, the little girl hurriedly put down the things in her hand and went over to bring out the food. She said, “Young Master, why are you back so late today? Qiu’er just came to look for you. She said that Second Young Miss is looking for you and wants you to go over.”

“Second Young Miss?”

Luo Qingzhou sat down and ate. “Did she say what it was about?”

Xiao Die shook her head and said, “No, Qiu’er left after I said that you might have gone for a walk. However, before she left, she instructed me to tell you to go over after dinner.”

Luo Qingzhou thought about it and suddenly thought of Song Zixi, whom he had met at the Treasure Gathering Pavilion a few days ago.

That day, Song Zixi seemed to have said that she was holding a poetry gathering on the pleasure boat in the next few days. Could it be because of this?

He did not want to go.

Instead of going there to feign civility and wasting time with others, it was better to hide at home and cultivate.

Although he had succeeded in refining his flesh, he could not slack off. He still had to continue cultivating.

Hence, it would be best if he could advance again before the new year.

“Got it. I’ll go later.”

Luo Qingzhou lowered his head and ate, thinking about how to reject Second Young Miss Qin later.

It was fine to reject Second Young Miss Qin. The other party was easy to talk to. As long as he said that he was studying and preparing for the exam, the other party would not say anything. The problem was his mother-in-law.

He was afraid that Zhu’er would tell on him again. She would say that he refused to go along with what Second Young Miss Qin wanted and got her upset. That would be troublesome.

That mother-in-law had a really bad temper and liked to torture people.

Last time, he had casually said that he had written her into the story. That woman had always remembered that and every night, when he went to pay his respects, she would ask indirectly about it and even scold him for being too slow.

He was speechless.

After dinner.

Luo Qingzhou changed into clean clothes and went to Second Young Miss Qin’s place.

When he reached the door, Zhu’er was already waiting there. When she saw him, she said with a straight face, “Sir, you’re finally here. If you hadn’t come, I was about to go and look for you.”

As she spoke, she turned around and led him in.

Just as Luo Qingzhou was thinking about how to reject Second Young Miss

Qin’s request later, he suddenly heard a familiar voice coming from the room.

He looked up and saw that the voice had stopped. The person who was talking also turned to look at him.

Their eyes met.

That person kept a straight face and snorted coldly.

“Mother-in-law.”

Luo Qingzhou groaned inwardly. He did not expect this person to be here tonight. He could only put on a bold face and went forward to greet her.

Qin Weimo sat at the side. When she saw him, she looked apologetic. She stood up and said awkwardly, “Brother-in-law, Mother was the one who asked you to come. I…”

“So what if I asked him to come? Can’t I order him around?”

Song Ruyue suddenly rolled her eyes and interrupted her.

Qin Weimo lowered her head slightly and did not dare to say anything else.

Luo Qingzhou lowered his head and cupped his hands. “May I know what instructions you have for me, Mother-in-law?”

Song Ruyue’s face was cold as she started to question him again. “Are you still not done with ‘The Story of the Stone’? Are you deliberately keeping Weimo in suspense? Have all the characters who are supposed to appear already done so? Are you deliberately missing some characters?”

The corners of Luo Qingzhou’s mouth twitched. He could only say, “Mother-in-law, I have been a little busy recently. I’ve been studying and practicing calligraphy, so I don’t have time to finish writing for the time being. If Second Young Miss likes to listen, I can tell her other stories next time.”

It was a challenge, having to add a character to the story out of thin air. Not only did this person have to be as beautiful as a flower, young and beautiful, but she also had to have a gentle personality. This person had nothing but merits. The most difficult thing was having to decide her identity and relationship with others…

This was really difficult.

Sister Feng? Mother Jia? Yuan Chun?

Obviously, none of these characters worked. He had to make some changes to them.

Not only was it a waste of brainpower, but it was also a waste of time.

He really did not want to tell this story anymore.

“Are there any other stories you’ve written?”

Song Ruyue’s eyes lit up when she heard that. With a straight face, she said, “If there is, you can tell Weimo about it first. As long as the story is good and Weimo likes to listen to it, you can write ‘The Story of the Stone’ slower.”

“Yes, Mother-in-law. Next time, I will tell Second Young Miss a different

story.”

Luo Qingzhou heaved a sigh of relief and hurriedly said respectfully.

Song Ruyue snorted. Seeing that he had a good attitude, she did not continue to reprimand him. She picked up her teacup and took a light sip before saying with a cold expression, “I asked you to come here tonight because I have something to tell you. There’s a poetry gathering at the pleasure boat on the river tomorrow night. It’s organized by Miss Yulan from the City Lord Manor and a few others. They sent someone to invite you and Weimo. Those who are going are some talents from MO City and some high-ranking officials and nobles. Weimo hasn’t gone out for a long time. The weather has been good these few days, and she’s recovering well. Therefore, she wants to go out to meet her friends tomorrow night. If you have nothing to do tomorrow night, accompany her. ”

Luo Qingzhou frowned and could only bite the bullet. “Mother-in-law, I still have to study tomorrow night, so…”

“So you’re intending to loosen the soil in my back garden tonight?”

Song Ruyue snorted and put down her teacup. She glanced at him and said, “If that’s the case, you can stay there for the next few nights..”
