Chapter XXIII

On the second day, early in the morning, there was a soft knock on the door outside the guest room where Ji Tianling was, but Ji Tianling, who had been meditating all day, rubbed his sleepy eyes and opened the door with a sigh, and saw that it was Xia Qinglian.

Since he rescued Mu Yuqi and Xia Qinglian last night, he finally slept well until dawn, and when he woke up and stretched his waist, just when he felt comfortable all over his body, Xia Qinglian's knock sounded.

Today's Xia Qinglian is different from yesterday, not only the difference between day and night, the early morning sun spreads on her face with a national posture, the skin is no longer enough to describe her delicate and beautiful skin, a pair of clear and moving eyes, long eyelashes blinking slightly, a small and beautiful nose like a jade onion, with a mouth that is not big or small, the lips are thin, but there is a little aura, wearing a white long dress, with a medium-length white gauze coat, it looks extraordinarily dusty.

Seeing Ji Tianling, who was still a little sleepy-eyed, Xia Qinglian said apologetically: "The little girl came early in the morning and disturbed the son's rest, please don't blame the son." ”

Ji Tianling was a little embarrassed when he said this, and said: "Tianling is not careful with the courtesy, I hope the girl will forgive me, can I ask the girl to wait for a while?"

Looking at Ji Tianling, who looked a little embarrassed, Xia Qinglian covered her mouth and smiled softly and said, "Childe is not in a hurry, the little girl is waiting for Childe here." ”

"Thank you, girl, Haihan. With that, he hurriedly closed the door, washed up quickly, dried his hair with true qi, and scattered it behind him.

Xia Qinglian waited for less than a while, and then saw Ji Tianling open the door, at this time Ji Tianling no longer had a trace of sleepy eyes, thick sword eyebrows, bright but deep eyes like stars, a high nose bridge, an angular face, a black and beautiful slightly flowing long hair gently behind him, and a white robe embroidered with gold wire, which also showed his dusty temperament.

After making the girl wait for a long time, Tianling apologized to the girl. With that, he gave Xia Qinglian a fist salute.

Xia Qinglian also wanted to return the salute with a fist, but then thought that he was wearing a long skirt today, and it was a little indecent to hold his fist, so he bowed back and said, "It's not long, the son is more polite." ”

Then the two walked into the garden, and Ji Tianling spoke first, saying, "The girl came to Tianling so early, but what's the matter?"

"Childe said yes, the little girl planned to leave today, but Uncle Mu invited the little girl to participate in the wedding banquet between Miss Mu and Ji Gongzi for two days, and the little woman stayed. ”

"Thank you for not having to...... What are you talking about?wedding banquet?mine?me and Miss Mu?" Ji Tianling exclaimed.

"Yes, Uncle Mu said that you are one of the two people pre-selected by Miss Mu's martial arts competition, but the other person is yesterday's thief, so there is only one son left. Xia Qinglian looked at Ji Tianling and said.

"But, but I only participated to save her. Ji Tianling smiled bitterly, "Moreover, the girl herself said that she was still young and didn't want to get married." ”

"Ji Gongzi, the little woman can see that Miss Mu has a good impression of you, and no matter what the reason, this competition must be known to all the towns. Xia Qinglian paused for a moment, and then said: "If you don't go, how can you let her marry in the future, the innocence of the girl's family is equivalent to nothing!"

"Miss Xia, this son ran to me because her younger brother cried and told me that there was a thief who wanted to harm his sister, my generation of monks should have eliminated the evil and the good, and this son did not compete with her, it was his little servant who reported that the head of the Mu family was an alchemist, so he specially invited this son to enter the mansion, and this son entered the house because he wanted to save her life, and there was no connection before, where did he come from to talk about marriage?" Ji Tianling said a little angrily.

After a while, Ji Tianling took a long breath and said: "Please Miss Xia and my son go with my son, but my son wants to ask the head of the Mu family, when my son is not there, what else did he say, and what my son didn't know." ”

Then he walked straight to Mu Yuan's study. Looking at Ji Tianling, who was a little angry, Xia Qinglian was slightly puzzled, after what happened yesterday, after she was in the same boudoir with Mu Yuqi, she had already regarded the two as her friends, and this morning she came to thank Ji Tianling for saving her life yesterday, and wished to bless the two to tie the knot, but she never thought that Ji Tianling didn't seem to know about the marriage contract, but it made Ji Tianling so angry, thinking of this, she couldn't help but be puzzled, and when she saw Ji Tianling striding forward, she didn't think much about it, and accelerated her pace to follow。

'Knock knock, knock knock' Mu Yuan opened the door and saw that it was Ji Tianling, but the latter's face was not very good, as if he was angry.

"The head of the Mu family is early," Ji Tianling said.

Listening to Ji Tianling's sudden name, Mu Yuan secretly said that it was not good, and said: "Ji Gongzi, the old man is just looking for you and talking to you about something. ”

"Is it my marriage to Miss Mu? I'm sorry, I can't marry Miss Mu!" Ji Tianling said bluntly.

"Why is this, isn't it that the little girl has made Ji Gongzi unhappy, the old man called her over here and apologized to Ji Gongzi!" Mu Yuan pretended to be angry and said.

"Miss Mu is very good, but she is in the lower body, and she can't marry a wife now!" Ji Tianling said calmly.

"This ...... So that's the case, Ji Gongzi ......" Mu Yuan was interrupted by a coquettish shout before he finished speaking, "If you don't marry, you won't marry, this girl is not unwanted, hum!" After saying that, Mu Yuqi let out a choked sob, as if crying, and hid his face and ran away, Ji Tianling looked at Mu Yuan, who was expressionless, and chased after Mu Yuqi.

Looking at Mu Yuqi, who was sitting on the stone platform in the garden with his head buried in his lap and crying, Ji Tianling said helplessly, "Miss Mu, I ......" Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Mu Yuqi, who raised his head and had slightly red eyes.

I saw Mu Yuqi pointing at Ji Tianling and said: "Rogue, you don't need to say it, I know that we are two worlds, and you may never look down on me, but this marriage, it's not that you don't marry Miss Ben, but that Miss Ben doesn't look down on you, do you understand?" Then he wiped his tears and walked quickly to her room. ”

Ji Tianling smiled a little bitterly, and asked Jian Lao in his senses, "Master, I did this, right?"
