It has been several months since the last time he was sent off by the white horse outside Tiancheng, and in these months, a lot of things have happened, he has experienced Bai Wuyan's assassination, and he has also practiced half of Haoran's swordsmanship, Chen Linci is no longer the ignorant young man he was at the beginning, but the longing for Zhao Yiran in his heart has not passed with the passage of time, but has lasted for a long time.

The question that had been bothering him for a long time seemed to be no longer a problem at this moment, how to choose between Luo Ziyan and Zhao Yiran? In fact, Chen Linci had no answer in his heart, but his life and experience gave him an answer.

He felt that Luo Ziyan should have some affection for him in his heart, but Luo Ziyan did not show it very obviously, and the status gap between the two was too huge, the poor boy in the mountain village suddenly counterattacked and married the daughter of the martial arts alliance leader and embarked on the peak of his life, that is the story written by Master Yinchen, although Chen Linci's year has been very legendary, but he is not so arrogant that he thinks that he can really hit Tianbo Mansion and be equal to the god general and his old man.

He didn't even know where Luo Ziyan was at this moment, what he was doing, and he didn't know if he would still have the opportunity to meet him again in this life, just with the sea swallowing and loyalty in the Soul Mansion, Chen Linci was confident that he would be able to cultivate to a realm that was enough to attract the attention of Tianbo Mansion in this life, but how long would this process take, Chen Linci himself had no bottom in his heart, what if when they met again after many years, Luo Ziyan couldn't even look at himself?

But Zhao Yiran is different, Chen Linci can clearly feel her affection for herself, not only him, but even all the students of the Sixth Academy such as Starry Night White Horse Qingxu can feel that there is a way that is full of green mountains and empty thoughts, it is better to cherish the people in front of you. Zhao Yiran was born in the White Horse Academy, although he is also a noble scholarly family, but Chen Linci, as a disciple of Master Yang Xiudao and a leader of the Starry Night Academy, although he was born poor, he is not the same as the other.

Today's Chen Linci doesn't want to think about so many things anymore, life is just a casual encounter, take one step and see another step.

He looked at Zhao Yiran, who was smiling, and thought of it in his heart.

Zhao Yiran blushed, very surprised and happy, she looked at Chen Linci, who was guarding the city gate and was dressed in bright clothes, and said with a smile: "Long time no see, Senior Brother Chen." ”

The maid Xiao Tang rolled her eyes, looked at her own lady beside her, and said in her heart What kind of monster is her feelings, how can the young lady who looks like an iceberg on weekdays become a different look when she sees Chen Linci.

The old dean Zao Wou-Ki rode behind Zhao Yiran, looking at this picture, the old man was relieved, and smiled happily.

Only then did Chen Linci notice that Dean Zhao had also come with him, and hurriedly saluted: "Student Chen Linci, I have seen Dean Zhao. ”

"No need to be polite, no need to be polite. Dean Zhao nodded and said.

According to the reason, when the students of the Sixth Academy come to the capital every year to accept the selection of the sect, it is enough to follow the team with a respected teacher, and there is no need for a big man of the dean's level to come forward, but the situation of the White Horse Academy this year is different from the past, although Zhao Yiran is basically sure that he wants to stay in the White Horse Academy, but it does not rule out the possibility that some big sects want to recruit him as a disciple, and then Zhao Yiran will go to his sect as an outer disciple.

The so-called outer disciples are probably similar to the Keqing often said in the world, with their names in the sect, but they usually don't have to stay in the sect like the inner disciples, they are bound by many rules and regulations, and they are relatively much freer.

Obviously, there are not a few students who have this kind of thinking like Zhao Yiran, and Gong Lihan, the descendant of the thousand-year-old cultivation family palace family, is a very clear example, with Gong Lihan's talent, no matter where it is placed, it is the object of welcome from the major sects, and it can go to some big sects to learn more things, and in the future, he can return to the family to take over as the head of the family, and maybe he can also hang the name of a guest in those sects, a hundred benefits and no harm, why not do it?

With the permission of the old dean of Zao Wou-ki, Zhao Yiran followed Chen Linqi and left the inn, and the two walked alone on the streets of Yingtian City for the first time.

This is not the first time Zhao Yiran has come to Yingtian City, but walking on the street, the smile on her face and the freshness of treating this city are still the same as when she first came, Chen Linci looked at Zhao Yiran beside him with a smile, and asked in a low voice: "Senior Sister Zhao, it's noon, what do you want to eat?"

"Well......" Zhao Yiran thought for a while and said, "Senior Brother Chen, I'm not familiar with Tiancheng, let's eat whatever you say." ”

Chen Linci smiled, patted Zhao Yiran's hair gently, and said, "Okay, I'll take you to a good place." ”

Bypassing the endless crowd, Chen Linci did not take Zhao Yiran to the best carrier restaurant in the city, because he didn't want to think of the eccentric girl at this time, and he didn't take Zhao Yiran to Fuyun Restaurant, because it was not a suitable place to be alone, Chen Linci took Zhao Yiran all the way to the west, and soon arrived outside a side alley.

Looking through the mouth of the alley, although this place is remote, there is a cave, and you can smell the fragrance from a distance, which makes the mouth revel.

Chen Linci said with a smile: "Senior Sister Zhao, although this is not a prosperous place, but there is another taste in the deep alleys and side streets, I often buy some snacks in this street, and the taste is no worse than that in the carrier restaurant." ”

Zhao Yiran lowered his head and said softly: "Senior Brother Chen said yes, then it is naturally good." ”

Took Zhao Yiran through the side alley, bought some snacks and fragrant duck legs from the old shop in the alley, Chen Linci's little face was full of smiles, looking at Zhao Yiran's satisfied face after eating, and his heart also smiled.

In the weather at the beginning of June, the heat had covered the entire Yingtian City, and Chen Linci took Zhao Yiran to a small lake.

Chen Linci once went to the Qingwang Mansion of the Great Prince, and was shocked by the luxurious scenery inside, the scenery on the Jiulong Lake and the island in the middle of the lake made him have endless aftertastes, Chen Linci once thought that if he could have such a manor in this life, it would be wonderful.

The summer breeze blew across the lake, blowing a few green silks in Zhao Yiran's ears, Chen Linci looked at the lotus flowers blooming in the lake, and some budding flower bones, and the mood was very beautiful.

Zhao Yiran said: "Senior Brother Chen, don't you have anything you want to say to Yiran?"

"Huh?" Chen Lin was resigned

was stunned for a moment, and stumbled and said, "No...... No, I don't. ”

Zhao Yiran was silent for a while, and muttered: "Although Yiran is far away in White Horse County, senior brother, you know that with the connections of White Horse Academy, it is sometimes easy to know some things. ”

Chen Linci looked dazed, and said in his heart that he hadn't done anything before, so he touched the back of his head and said, "Senior Sister Zhao, if you have something to say directly, I'm a bit stupid, I don't know what you mean by these words." ”

"Senior Brother Chen. Zhao Yiran's little face suddenly became very serious, she stared at Chen Linci's eyes, and asked seriously, "Do you like me?" ”

Chen Linci's cheeks instantly turned red, he didn't dare to look at Zhao Yiran's eyes, so he cast his eyes on the lake, looked at the blue sky, looked at the clear lake, looked at the lotus flowers in the lake and the swimming fish in the water, embarrassed for a long time, and said slowly: "It should be...... I like it. ”

This is the first time that the young Chen Linci said to a girl what he liked, he hesitated for a long time before pressing the shyness in his heart to say this, after saying it, he suddenly felt refreshed, as if he had obtained some kind of soul relief, but there was a lot of emptiness.

But she didn't expect that the seriousness on Zhao Yiran's little face did not slow down in the slightest, her eyes never left Chen Linci's face for a moment, her tone was a little anxious, and she even sounded like crying, and murmured: "What should I mean by liking, liking is liking, disliking is disliking, why is a character like you like your mother-in-law at this time, Senior Brother Chen." ”

Chen Linci closed his eyes, as if he had made up his mind, and said slowly: "I like it." ”

"What do you like, I like it!" Zhao Yiran's little face changed, and his fist gently smashed Chen Linci's arm, tears ran down his cheeks, and he muttered, "I allow you to like it......"

Chen Linci looked at Zhao Yiran with a confused expression, not understanding why Senior Sister Zhao, who had been fine just now, suddenly became like this, he was a little at a loss, and didn't know what to do, so he had to stumble and say, "Senior Sister Zhao...... What's wrong with you, if you don't let me like it, I won't say it anymore, just don't cry. ”

Zhao Yiran raised his little hand again and slapped Chen Linci, sobbing and said, "I allow you not to like it......"

Chen Linci looked at a loss, he didn't know what to do, he didn't allow him to like it or not to like it, so what should he do?

He stroked Zhao Yiran's soft black hair with his hand, and leaned Zhao Yiran's head on his shoulder.

Zhao Yiran lay on Chen Linci's shoulder and cried for a while, then broke free and wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes, but his little face was still so red.

She looked at Chen Linci again and said, "Senior Brother Chen, let me ask you one last time, do you really have nothing to tell me?"

Chen Linci was silent, not knowing what to do.

"That's good. Zhao Yiran moved to the side, kept a certain distance from Chen Linci, and asked seriously: "Since you don't have anything to say, then Yiran has something to ask you." ”

"Senior Sister Zhao, if there is anything you want to ask, Chen Linci must know everything. ”

"In the Fuyun Restaurant, in front of General Yu, who is the girl you are talking about?"
