23. Chapter XXIII

Chiba Lantern walked forward slowly and said, "Wu Kuang is my person, and what he does must be my instructions." Just like all the people in the Nineteenth Courtyard think, tomorrow the people of the entire First Courtyard will also know that this leader in the First Courtyard, Luo Yusheng, is my chess piece scattered in the First Courtyard. If you don't vote for two masters, I just want to force Luo Yushang to make a choice. Since she begged to come to my door, I want her to completely cut off Hongyan's back road. Hong Yan and I are not on good terms, just by virtue of this, it is impossible for Luo Yushang to want a win-win situation. ”

After he finished speaking, he couldn't hear Mo Chaoyun's response, so he looked back at her who stopped in place, "What?" ”

Mo Chaoyun slowly walked out of the backward shadow, walked to a distance where he could see each other clearly, and asked seriously: "I am also a chess piece to you, right?" ”

There was hope in her eyes, and Chiba could see it clearly. He turned his head sideways, not looking at her, but said: "On the day we first met, you said that you would neither choose me nor Hongyan." This is quite backbone, but Hong Yan has a sentence that is very right, without the protection of the war lord here, it is very difficult to survive. You don't want to choose, in fact, in essence, you are cutting off your own way of life. You've been abandoned, even if it's a chess piece, it's a waste chess piece, you know? ”

Mo Chaoyun stretched out his hand and grabbed his sleeve. He was a little surprised, turned his head to look at her, but heard her say, "Since you have given up on me, why do you have to bet with me and try your best to make a living for me?" I really don't understand you, why did you sue me? ”

Chiba withdrew her sleeves, "There's no why, you just pass the time when I have nothing to do." ”

But Mo Chaoyun re-grasped his hand that didn't carry the lantern, and when Chiba saw this, he threw the lantern and wanted to remove her hand. When the lantern fell to the ground, it was extinguished by the grass dew and mist, and the surroundings suddenly became dark. In the darkness, I heard her ask urgently: "Didn't you say that you weren't so boring?" ”

Chiba shook Mo Chaoyun's strange hand, but the other hand lifted her chin, causing her to calm down instantly. She was suddenly nervous and didn't dare to move, so she only heard Chiba say, "Aunt Yun should have told you, right?" The thing about a thousand nights, you look very similar to her. ”

All expectations turned into rocks that sank to the bottom of the lake. Mo Chaoyun took two steps back, and after breaking free from his restraints, he gritted his teeth and asked for a while, "You pity me because of her?" Or is it because we're too similar that you like me? ”

It had taken half of her life to say such things, and she would not have stood still waiting for his answer. Bypassing him, Mu Mu walked forward, walking farther and faster, but he heard him say: "Turn right and go straight to the end, it is the Nineteenth Courtyard." ”

She suddenly became a little angry, and after throwing a punch in the air, she ran out of his sight.

rushed all the way, and when he stood in front of the door, Mo Chaoyun realized that he was crying. After living for nineteen years, the first time I felt so wronged, it seemed that I couldn't cry to the fullest, and I couldn't finish tonight.

She quickly wiped away her tears and lowered her head and pushed the door open. But he didn't think that Mo Xun hadn't slept yet, he was obviously waiting for her, and when he saw her eyes red and swollen and walked in, he was taken aback, "What's going on?" ”

"It's nothing, I'm blinded by the wind on the road." Mo Chaoyun felt that he had lost face to the extreme, and he didn't want Mo Xun to know the cause and effect, so he hurriedly hugged the wooden basin and went to wash.

The water room is public, and everyone should have slept at this hour, but when Mo Chaoyun walked to the door of the water room, he saw that the lights were on inside, and two people were whispering while fighting.

"You're so shameless, and your mouth is full of words."

"Am I wrong? Why do you think the women in this courtyard hate that Mo Chaoyun so much? It's not because of Chiba-sama! I dare to bet with you, most of the women in this courtyard want to fight for the opportunity to go to the Heavenly Temple, and they have the idea of falling in love with Lord Chiba for a long time! ”

"Just think about it, it's just a dream. It's all new, short-sighted, and it would be nice if Chiba-sama was such an easy big fish to take the bait. ”

"I heard that the Heavenly Temple never accepts women, is it true?"

"Of course, I have a sister in the first courtyard, and I heard the master of the first courtyard talk about it, Chiba-sama hates women, and there is no woman next to her over the years, except for Aunt Yun, who serves the diet, but it is said that this was not the case with Lord Chiba in the past, and it is thought to be related to the war servant who died when Lord Chiba died."

"In this way, if you want to enter the Temple of Celestials, the only way is to become a war servant of Lord Chiba?"

"yes, but it's hard to get to the top...... Just such a position, so many people are vying for it, not to mention that in addition to our nineteenth courtyard, there are so many possibilities in other courtyards, I always feel that it is even more difficult than surviving the competition at the end of the month! ”

"In this way, that Mo Chaoyun is even more hateful!"

"That's it, I really hope that she will be able to draw the death lottery in a few days."

Mo Chaoyun hugged the wooden basin, pursed his lips, and hid in the dark, his fingers tightened. She didn't know if she was angry with these two long-tongued women, or because she had touched a nail in Chiba, so the resentment was still there.

The footsteps faded away, and they should be gone. The lights went out, and the surroundings were dark. She stood there alone, and her heart was very self-defeating. What the hell is going on? Why did you suddenly ...... to him No, maybe it's because he's been deliberately guarding against him, so it's inevitable to misinterpret his kindness, and when he is found out that he is just not open-minded enough, the curiosity and favor towards him that have been suppressed will rise arbitrarily. It's just that this feeling has never been felt before, and it came unexpectedly, which made her panic in an instant and didn't know what to do.

She muttered to herself: "Mo Chaoyun, the test at the end of the month is imminent, life and death are still between the two words, you still have the heart to think about these ......" Not to mention him...... Even if I understand that I have a liking for him, that person's mind is very unpredictable, and with the current situation, it really doesn't help at all, and it will be bad.

Mo Chaoyun secretly warned himself to be sober, and then quickly finished washing up and returned to the room.

Mo Xun seemed to have something to say, but seeing that Mo Chaoyun didn't mean to speak, he didn't say anything in the end.

There are two days left, which is the end-of-month competition of the 19th Academy. The entire Nineteenth Courtyard was permeated with a tense and oppressive atmosphere. After the hairpin, Shen Gui didn't seem to be as hostile to her anymore, and he could still say a few words when they met.

"In two days, it's the end of the month. You know the rules, right? Mo Chaoyun had breakfast and was about to go back to the room, but met Shen Gui, who seemed to be waiting for her.

Mo Chaoyun said: "Well, basically I understand, Mo Xun told me something, and these days I have listened to some of what others have said, and I have roughly figured it out." ”

Shen Gui nodded, leading the two to move forward side by side. He suddenly lowered his voice and said, "No matter what you draw on the day of the draw, don't look at it, and don't show it to anyone, just leave it to me." ”

Mo Chaoyun was a little surprised: "What to give to you?" ”

"Your signature."

"It's ...... Why? Mo Chaoyun didn't know why Shen Gui suddenly said this, and he was a little surprised.
