Chapter 61 Two Weeks Later
"Here."

Zhao Xiaoxiao responded and wrote down everything Zhou Qingshan told her to do.

"After you finish your meal, Xiao Xiao, find someone to help me build a fishing rod."

Zhou Qingshan suddenly thought of something, looked at Zhao Xiaoxiao, and emphasized, "You can use any materials at home. I only have two requirements: they must be strong enough, but light. This will be of great use to me."

Looking at the look Zhou Qingshan gave him, Zhao Xiaoxiao understood that it must be related to strange magic, and silently reminded the importance of the matter in his heart.

Zhou Qingshan sat back in the main seat and waved his hand to signal everyone to start the banquet.

……

……

After meal.

Zhou Qingshan, Mo Yanqiu and Zhao Xiaoxiao sent the injured members of the escort team back to the house one by one.

After sending the last wounded person away, Zhou Qingshan stood up and wanted to escape, but was stopped by Zhao Gang.

Feeling helpless.

His risky behavior this time was really too willful. It would have been fine if he had returned safely, but he was carried into the house by everyone and was inevitably scolded by Uncle Zhao. Of course, only Uncle Zhao in Shengfeng Territory could do that.

All members of Zhou's family were present at the banquet, so Zhao Gang didn't want to say anything to Zhou Qingshan, after all, he was the head of the family. Now that only the guards were present in private, he became furious.

Even Zhao Gang couldn't help but take action on this matter... He actually dared to go deep into Xipanling. He knew the risks involved. It was definitely not as easy as Mo Yanqiu said!
He wanted to take action several times, but he could not bear to hit Zhou Qingshan.

He had no choice but to severely punish Zhou Shiqi, Xie Meng and Sanzi. The three of them had seriously failed to fulfill their duties, so he insisted on giving each of them ten blows with the stick. He hoped that Zhou Qingshan would remember this lesson.

Zhou Qingshan and Xiaoxiao had no choice but to reassure him again and again to calm him down, saying that the safety of the territory was most important now and if he was hit with ten sticks, he would not be able to get up for a day or two. Only then did Zhao Gang withdraw his order.

……

the other side.

There were people in the room. The woman helped the old lady to clear the table. Then the second mother Zou Xiurong led people to prepare various supplies for the upcoming wedding. Everyone soon became busy.

After finishing his meal, Gao Feixue walked out of the house looking a little lonely, found a corner, sat quietly on the doorstep, staring blankly at the yard in front of him covered with white snow.

Zhou Xuefei had noticed that Gao Feixue was unhappy before. What could she say about this new female knight? She thought she was so cool. Her dream was to wear protective leather armor, carry a long sword, and become a warrior.

"Sister Feixue, why are you unhappy? You are now a great hero in our territory." She walked over quietly, squatted beside Gao Feixue, and asked with concern.

Hearing this, Gao Feixue twitched the corners of his mouth bitterly, and said in a low voice to himself, "Great hero? Little guy, do you think it was Yan Qiu and I who brought your brother out of the fog?"

"…Isn't that the case?" Zhou Xuefei was stunned.

Gao Feixue covered her face, her voice trembling: "No..."

These words were suppressed in her heart and were really unbearable. So Gao Feixue began to confide in Zhou Xuefei everything she had experienced in Xipanling.

When she asked the guard team about the situation, she gradually realized that she might become a burden to Mo Yanqiu and Zhou Qingshan.

After all, even with a burden, he was able to get through so many people and ghosts, and there was also flames falling from the sky...

In the mist of Xipanling, Mo Yanqiu never seemed to worry about the safety of his lord, but he always patiently reminded her again and again before taking any action.

This made Gao Feixue suspect that the lord definitely had a stronger ability to protect himself in the fog than her.

Zhou Xuefei listened quietly, with a complex emotion passing through her face. However, she did not blame or look down on Gao Feixue, but comforted him softly:
"Sister Feixue, you meant well. I believe my brother won't blame you. But don't disobey orders again. My brother has his reasons for doing things..."

……

...Two weeks passed quickly.

drink.

what.

In the morning, in the open space beside the Zhou family yard, Zhou Hu's injuries had healed. He led the guard team to do morning exercises for the first time, with neat formations and great momentum.

Zhao Gang watched from the side.

Doctor Mo refined thirteen "Jade Muscle Life-giving Pills" with excellent medicinal properties in one furnace.

Except for Zhou Qingshan and Zhou Hu who were seriously injured and each took two 'Jade Muscle Life-giving Pills', Zhao Gang also took one. The other four guards who were injured in the battle with the bear only took one each.

In just two or three days, their injuries improved significantly and were almost back to normal.

An hour later.

A handsome young man walked slowly towards them, followed by two women.

"Master of the house."

Upon seeing this, Zhao Gang and the members of the escort team bowed their heads in salute to show their respect.

"Uncle Zhao."

The young man nodded calmly and greeted everyone in turn.

The person who came was Zhou Qingshan who had recovered, and behind him were Xiaoxiao and Mo Yanqiu, two girls who were inseparable from him.

After two weeks of rest, his energy and spirit have recovered significantly, reaching 0.3976. In addition, he carries the little Flame Bird with him every time he goes out, which makes him much more comfortable than in previous years.

In the past two weeks, Zhou Qingshan spent most of his time in the main house, or to be more precise, in the Genting chessboard world.

Rune fishing has been used one hundred and forty times, with 0.2 spirit. Most of the things caught are unknown plants and weeds, and occasionally you can catch a 'snow fish' level.

Because the number of fish brought out by the rune [Fishing] was so large that the water tank could not accommodate them all, Zhou Qingshan had to make a net cage in the emerald green lake water and started his fish farming business.

However, these few days when my energy has recovered to 0.3, I have found a lot of good things. In addition to a first-grade low-grade spiritual plant, I also caught a three-jin 'small green spiritual fish'.

Although the effect of this fish is not as magical as the red-tailed golden carp with dragon blood, it is also quite precious.

Zhou Qingshan used this spiritual fish to prepare a special meal for Mo Yanqiu and Zhao Xiaoxiao, and the three of them shared this rare delicacy.

During these two weeks, the city wall was built to a height of six meters, and during this period, five unranked alien beasts broke into the spiritual realm. These alien beasts were killed on the spot by Mo Yanqiu before they could cause any damage.

Except for a sheep-like beast left for the guards to eat, the rest were sacrificed on the Cloud Top Chessboard in exchange for nine precious essences.

The little flame bird ate one essence a week, and the other seven essences were saved by Zhou Qingshan. He planned to use them to upgrade the Yunding chessboard, which, as expected, would require ten essences.

In addition, his wedding with Mo Yanqiu has also been prepared, and the auspicious day chosen is January 11, which is three days away.

"What is the master doing here today?" Zhao Gang asked.

"I need to find Erhu and Feixue for some things, and I can come out to get some fresh air at the same time." Zhou Qingshan replied.

Erhu's injuries have healed, and it's time to take the red jade fruit to break through to the level of a strongman.

There is one more thing. Mo Yanqiu examined his body and finally decided to start teaching him martial arts today.
