Chapter 43: The Temptation of the Hongmen Banquet
Before Lin Xiu arrived at the dormitory, he saw a gray figure pacing downstairs from a distance, looking anxious. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Unexpectedly, when he got closer to Lin Xiu, he found that the person was actually Liu Yifeng, who had been trading with him a few days ago, as soon as he saw Lin Xiu, he jumped up like a rabbit from a distance, and his body turned into a lightning bolt and rushed to Lin Xiu's side, and said in a hurry in the midst of everyone's consternation, "Where have you gone, why haven't you been missing for a month?" If you don't come back tomorrow, I will go directly to Qingyang Town. β
Although the other party was vulgar and rude, this straightforward and unintentional behavior made Lin Xiu feel a little better, and said lightly, "I'm sorry, there is something going on these days." β
After speaking, he explained a few words to Feng Zhimeng Manboya, and then followed Liu Yifeng to a secluded place, and of course, brought Mo'er with him.
Under the shade of the tree, after a period of healing, Lin Xiu carefully observed Liu Yifeng's face, and found that the irritable qi on his body had become much lighter, and said softly, "It seems that the effect of this treatment is very obvious." β
"It's really effective, the breath in my body is a lot more stable, and I can feel that the damn gold qi in my body is much less, and even my cultivation that has been stagnant for many years is a little ready to move. Liu Yifeng's face was full of excitement, after all, this golden qi had tormented him for several years, and it was undoubtedly great news that it could be removed.
Feeling that the energy in his body increased a lot after absorbing the golden qi, Lin Xiu smiled, "In the future, if you come here at noon every three days, I will help you heal, and you will be able to heal after about a month." It's okay now, I have to go back to the dormitory first, you go back to calm down and recuperate, don't get angry easily. β
"Wait a minute!" Lin Xiucai didn't take a few steps, but Liu Yifeng stopped him.
Seeing that the other party's expression was a little hesitant, Lin Xiu frowned and asked, "What's the matter, is there something else?"
Liu Yifeng obviously hesitated, "Do you know Fang Tianji?"
His heart jumped suddenly, and Lin Xiu's face changed, "There have been several faces, what's wrong?"
"Because of the last 'Spirit Pool Dispute', I have a bit of a friendship with that guy. Liu Yifeng looked at Lin Xiu's expression with a little different color, "When we were chatting a few days ago, he mentioned your name to me and said that you are a very interesting person. β
"Oh?" Lin Xiu stroked his bangs and said calmly, "Captain Fang's praise, Yuxin deserves it." β
"You and I can say that you have the grace to save your life, and I, Liu Yifeng, am not a righteous person, so I remind you that this matter may not be so simple. Looking at Lin Xiu, who looked calm, Liu Yifeng shook his head, his face a little more solemn, "Fang Tianji is cold and arrogant, and he has very few friends. Your roommate is an imperial princess, and he has only mentioned it once, but he has repeatedly mentioned your name, which may have other meanings. β
"I dare to guess that Fang Tianji is a ruthless person, and there is only one possibility for him to pay attention to one person so much," Liu Yifeng turned his eyes to Lin Xiu and said in a deep voice, "He already regards you as an evenly matched enemy. β

The banquet was held in a pavilion of the Divine Presence Academy, Feng Zhimeng and Manboya took the lead, while Lin Xiu arrived at the moment when the party was about to start, at this moment the sky was already dark, but the attic was brightly lit, and there were bursts of noisy laughter in the spacious hall, mixed with a little rhythm, which made Lin Xiu, who was happy and quiet, frown.
Walking into the door, hundreds of people in the hall sat and stood up, like a happy moment.
Standing in front of the door, Lin Xiu's eyes swept over the hall, and he was surprised to find that not only Manboya, Feng Zhimeng and others were there, but also people he knew, such as Jing Feng and Liu Yifeng, had also participated in this banquet.
Feng Zhimeng is a noble court lady, with a phoenix hairpin pinned to her head, which adds a bit of empress's temperament to her already classical and elegant beauty. And Manboya was wearing a set of white tight long skirts, with charming and hot curves, which made many men in the hall secretly look over, as for Jing Feng, Liu Yifeng and others, they also changed into formal clothes, but Lin Xiu was wearing ordinary casual clothes, which looked very special.
"This beautiful young lady, can I ask you to dance?" a tall boy bowed in front of Lin Xiu.
Lin Xiu refused his invitation with a stiff smile, and pulled Mo'er through the crowd towards Feng Zhimeng and Manboya, but at this moment, a familiar voice came from behind him-
"Miss Yuxin, I'm so glad we met again."
Hearing the voice, Lin Xiu's heart was cold, he slowly turned his head, looked at the enemy standing in front of him with a smile, and the woman in red next to him, his face returned to the indifference that had always been, and said lightly, "Young Master Yun, it's a pleasure to see you here." β
It was Yun Longtian, the son of the Yun family, who greeted him, he didn't seem to see the indifference on Lin Xiu's face, he pointed sideways at Lin Yan'er and said with a smile, "I forgot to introduce you the first two times, this is my fiancΓ©e, Lin Yan'er." β
Fiancee?
Looking at the woman in red in front of him, who was still pure and beautiful, the days of ten years of being together and the moment of the ruthless sword flashed back and forth in his mind, Lin Xiu's heart was inexplicably surging with inexplicable emotions, he opened his mouth, and there was an inexplicable meaning in his tone, "Congratulations." β
Listening to this somewhat weird reply, Lin Yan'er was also stunned for a while, she kept looking at Lin Xiu, and she couldn't hear sadness and joy in her voice, "Thank you, it's a pleasure to meet you, Miss Xiao Yuxin." β
If the two tacitly forgot their "first encounter" by the lake in Qingyang Town, and at the invitation of Yun Longtian, Lin Xiu also had to enter the dance floor to dance with him.
Entering the lively dance floor, Lin Xiu quickly noticed Feng Zhimeng and the others, at this time Feng Zhimeng was dancing with Fang Tianji, the flickering sparks when the two looked at each other made him feel uncomfortable for a while, and Manboya and Jing Feng temporarily became a couple, and the two of them waved their hands when they saw Lin Xiu, as if they wanted to leave their dance partners immediately.
Lin Xiu responded with a smile, and immediately found that even the irascible and vulgar Liu Yifeng was a pair with a middle-class girl, but his clumsy dance steps often attracted whispered complaints from his dance partners.
Outside the dance floor, Lin Yan'er was chatting with Mo'er, and Lin Xiu could feel the slightly worried gazes she projected from time to time.
"Are you afraid that I will rob you of your wishful Langyun?" Lin Xiu knew this kind of worry, but he still couldn't help but flash a wry smile.
After this casual dance, another light dance song began, and everyone exchanged dance partners.
Jing Feng, who had already seen the opportunity, grabbed Lin Xiu for the first time, and the latter could only hold his hand with a bitter face, and he had a headache for the other party's persistence and infatuation.
"Miss Yuxin, aren't you happy, why do you look sad. Jing Feng asked uneasily.
"Dancing with such a handsome son as you, Yuxin is inevitably nervous, and she has not forgiven me. Lin Xiu said casually, but his eyes were looking around.
"Really?" Jing Feng immediately became excited, and even almost stepped on Lin Xiu's feet in a mess of dance steps, it turned out that Miss Xiao Yuxin also cared about herself, he immediately said, "So, Miss Yuxin, can I invite you to take a walk by the lake after the banquet, Jing Feng has a lot to say to you." β
Lover's Lake, in the middle of the night, two men, dating alone, these keywords kept flashing in Lin Xiu's mind, he couldn't bear to think about it anymore, and said with a wry smile, "There are too many bugs there, and it's not good to be bitten." β
"What about the Academy's Moon Tower?" Jing Feng asked again.
"Master Jingfeng, I have a fear of heights and don't dare to go up. β
"What about Luoying Road in the Eastern District?" Jing Feng still didn't give up.
"There are rumors that there are ghosts there, and they will come out to find food at night, Jingfeng Gongzi. β
"That ......"
So in this way, after a dance, poor Jing Feng still couldn't make an appointment with the arrogant and indifferent Miss Xiao Yuxin to vent the love in his heart.
As the melody quickens, everyone exchanges dance partners again.
Jing Feng reluctantly let go of Miss Xiao Yuxin's little hand and took his cousin Feng Zhimeng, and at this time, Lin Xiu finally felt that maybe it was not the worst thing to let Jing Feng be his dance partner.
Because of this song, his dance partner is Fang Tianji, who has a keen intuition and brings a strong sense of crisis to himself!
