Chapter 8: Evolution (15)

A nondescript alley near Huiying Hall. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

The gray brick and stone path is quiet, and the underground city is difficult to grow plants, only damp and heavy moss crawls over the brick cracks and walls, adding a touch of color to the path.

Miss Shui Xiang has shed her heavy robe, and she is only wearing a plain dress, but she is still not as beautiful as a mortal creature.

The road to the alley is very straight, and you can see the end at a glance.

Miss Shui Xiang's stride is neither long nor short, strolling and walking.

She was accompanied by a companion, a young man with a long body. He was dressed in a white plain dress, his hair was only half tied up with a hosta, and the rest was a shawl, his clean and beautiful face had a unique coldness, his eyes were delicate and beautiful, and there was a faint blue flame in his dark pupils, which flickered and dimmed. Judging only from his appearance, he is a gentlemanly, elegant and luxurious son, perhaps because he is too young, he has a chic innocence unique to young children.

Mo Shangren is like jade, and the son is unparalleled in the world.

Just like his name "Bai Liyu", he is like a piece of bright and cold peerless jade, pure and flawless, elegant and dusty, so that the world is beyond the reach of dust.

Miss Shui Xiang walked side by side with the white-clothed boy who was most like jade in the world.

From a distance, a man and a woman, dressed in white and snow, look like an ink painting scroll, using the best brush and ink to outline a simple and elegant picture.

In the painting, the woman is beautiful and cold, and the man looks like snow, no matter which one is placed wherever it is the focus of everyone's attention.

Two

At the end of the quiet and dull alley, I don't know when, a woman appeared quietly.

"I've been waiting for you two for a long time. ”

Miss Shui Xiang and Bai Liyu looked forward in unison, and when they heard the voice, under the soft bright light, a third person stood at the end of the alley in the scroll, waiting for them.

Seeing her, Miss Shui Xiang was stunned and came back to her senses, and in a trance, she seemed to see a fairy in the sea.

"You're wrong, we're waiting for you. Bai Liyu's eyes were cold, staring at her, not surprised at all by this woman's appearance, and he didn't care what her intentions were when she suddenly appeared to find them.

"Heh, Bai Gongzi, it's really as rumored, cold as jade, and rejects people for thousands of miles. She smiled softly and looked to the side. "Miss Shui Xiang, can you write what you want on my blank paper?"

In the faint light of the pearl on the roof, the figure of a young woman curled up.

The woman in front of her was about eighteen or nineteen years old, with a graceful posture, dressed in blue, as if picking out clouds from the sky. On the delicate face, the eyebrows are discerning, the eyes are like water, and the skin is delicate and fair. Her pretty face and smile are like the sea water in spring, and the fine sunlight is sprinkled on the calm sea, a dazzling flash, bright and colorful. However, what is amazing is that her hair is almost the same color as her eyes, and the blue is deep and mysterious, and at a glance, it seems to sink into the bottomless sea, let the tide swallow it, and lose herself in the blue world.

Miss Shui Xiang kind of understood why she used a sara to cover herself in the Huiying Hall, such a color of eyes and hair, such a look, casually appearing in front of people, it is easy to cause trouble, especially since this is a chaotic underground black market.

"The girl's piece of paper is too precious, I am a dusty girl, how can I win your favor. Miss Shui Xiang said lightly and took out the things in her sleeve. She had no reason to refuse in Huiying Hall, and the hall master returned Yaoyue Qiongfang to her, and also gave her the blank paper left in the East Second Box. Because this piece of paper has been indicated to be exchanged with her, according to the rules of the Huiying Hall, the last person to whom you propose is entitled to the right to dispose of the treasure, and she is the only one who is the most entitled to receive the blank paper. At that time, everyone else present felt that it was a fraudulent deception, that a piece of waste paper could not be exchanged for any rare treasures, and that the wish of a thousand words could be fulfilled with words written on paper. Everyone didn't look down on this deal, but fortunately, that person left the market early, and Yaoyue Qiongfang finally returned to her hands. When she got the blank paper, she didn't think it was a scam, the promise given by the other party was too tempting, if someone could really fulfill any wish, who would refuse such an opportunity? She didn't believe it either, but deep down she was willing to choose this opportunity, so after she and Yu'er left Huiyingtang, they didn't leave the underground black market in a hurry, but waited for the opportunity to come.

Sure enough, her choice was not wrong, this woman is not a tricky person.

"You're really an interesting person, I'm curious, how do you know I'm coming to you, aren't you afraid I'm a liar?" The woman's smiling eyes were bent into crescents, and her sleeves covered her lips, with the shyness of everyone's ladies.

Miss Shui Xiang looked at her and said gently: "The girl wanted to exchange with me, but she left her 'treasure' alone, and did not take away Yaoyue Qiongfang, and said that I would like to make a deal with you." But I don't know who the girl is, and I don't know where to find you, so I think the meaning of your words should be that when I think about it, you will come to me. And also...... Come to me and take Yaoyue Qiongfang. I'm willing to believe the girl, and bet on my belief by one side. Raising the wooden box in her hand, Miss Shui Xiang took a few steps forward and continued: "Since it is a transaction, both parties should get what they want, and you left incense and paper in order to trade with me alone in a quiet place." ”

"You are very smart, the outside world is right, Xiling Oiran is not only amazing, but also convincing in intelligence. The woman also took a few steps forward, looked face-to-face at this face that overshadowed the world's Oiran, exhaled like an orchid, and her voice was not as light as before: "I'm doing this for your own good, the white boy and the Oiran of Xiling came to the underground black market, wanting to get the whereabouts of a person, if you find someone to find the black market, then this person must be an extraordinary person." The auction in Huiyingtang is the largest place for underground transactions, and the distinguished guests who come are all people with status and background on the ground, if you directly say the name of the person you are looking for in front of them, do you think the two of you will leave here safe and sound?"

The alley was silent, and there was a trace of waves in Bai Liyu's calm eyes like water, like a stone falling into a deep ancient well, breaking the silence.

Miss Shui Xiang didn't expect that the other party's good intentions would make considerations for her and Yu'er, but ...... Why care about them?

"I've done enough, now the idlers are not there, only you and me, can we start trading?" The cold and distant words floated over, and Miss Shui Xiang was stunned. Bai Liyu stared at the woman in front of him tightly, and after a moment, he took out the white paper that was still as expensive as the sky-high price from his sleeve, and at this moment the paper was not white, but a few more words. He took a few steps forward, stood on the shoulders of Miss Shui Xiang, and handed the paper back to the woman.

She looked down and looked at the seven big characters written in ink on the paper - Golden Empire, Miss. "Who are you looking for...... It's really not ordinary. She smiled wryly, looked at them seriously, and held out her other hand, "The deal is done." ”

Miss Shui Xiang glanced at Bai Liyu: "Yu'er ......"

"Give it to her, she didn't lie to us. The young man dressed like snow lowered his long eyelashes slightly.

Miss Shui Xiang smiled softly and handed the wooden box to the person in front of her, even Yu'er chose to believe this woman, what did she have to worry about.

"I have a sister who likes Yaoyue Qiongfang very much, and if the only person in the world who can make this incense is gone, she will be somewhat lost. The woman with long blue hair smiled, put away the wooden box, and stood behind her back.

Originally, she was approachable, missing the mysterious veil in the Huiying Hall, but Miss Shui Xiang saw that she was willing to show her true face, and she felt that although this woman was elusive, she was also worthy of trust and respect, thinking that maybe it would be a good thing to make friends with each other. But as soon as she said this, that kind of favor suddenly fell to the valley and turned to zero.

Miss Shui Xiang has been involved in the world for a long time, how can she not hear the sound of the strings, her words are nothing more than saying that a woman in the dust is not as good as a piece of incense, the reason why she traded is just to take a fancy to incense, and it has nothing to do with people.

The invitation violates the expensive daughter, and the value is considered to be as high as that of the woman in the Qinglou. Miss Shui Xiang's status is humble, and the addition of Oiran only makes her the amorous woman that men in the world desire, and the other party's words are not too right, nor are they all wrong. It's just that after she became an Oiran, while the rumors increased, she never heard anyone belittle her identity in person, except for the barbarian men before.

So, I'm still a little annoyed.

"I'm sorry, I seem to have said the wrong thing, don't worry too much, you're already fine. The woman realized that her words were a little hurtful, and she hurriedly explained and apologized, especially when she saw the frosty face of the young man in white, she knew in her heart that if she didn't apologize, I was afraid that something would happen.

Miss Shui Xiang also found that the people around her were cold and seeping, she regained her old look, and said calmly and naturally: "Girl, you don't have to blame yourself, you are not wrong, it's just that I ......" I care too much, she still can't forget the unbearable experience of the past, like a nightmare, lingering. What a difficult road she has gone through, but now she is still affected by a sentence, perhaps because of the unwillingness of the same woman, she does not want to be evoked by other women with dusty memories.

Bai Liyu keenly caught a trace of melancholy floating in her eyes, and her body was cold for three points, and the blue-haired woman said in an unceremonious tone: "You have taken the things, the deal is concluded, you should also tell us where she is." ”

The woman smiled silently and turned away, Miss Shui Xiang and Bai Liyu looked at her departing back, but they didn't move.

After walking for a while, the graceful figure suddenly turned his head to look at them and said something like this: "If you want to see her, go to Bailuan." ”

Three

"Do you think her words can be trusted?"

Miss Shui Xiang pondered for a moment and asked.

At the end of the alley, the blue figure was gone, and she and him were the only two beings in the ink painting.

Bai Liyu lowered his head, looked deeply at his white jade-colored fingers, and said, "I don't believe it, but it's worth giving it a try." ”

"You mean, we're going to Bailuan?" her eyebrows darkened with pearlescent light, "We've been there once before, but we're overjoyed." That man has been gone for months, and if he goes again, will he see him?"

"I don't know. Bai Liyufeng said lightly.

"Yu'er ......."

"Whether it's true or not, the opportunity she gives must always be verified whether it's true or not, not to mention, I don't think this transaction is all a loss. Xiang'er, let's go to Dayin. ”

"It's up to you. Miss Shui Xiang smiled softly, full of joy. "Ah Jin has been waiting at the exit for a long time, and we should leave, maybe when we go out, we can catch the sunrise, and maybe we can see the beautiful scenery of the sunrise in the east. ”

Bai Liyu listened, silently staring at the beautiful face, smiling as bright as the sun, and said, "Well, it's good if you like it." ”
