68. Chapter 68
Her laughter is very penetrating and infectious, and it seems that even the silence of the entire study building has been shattered by her deliberate teasing. It seems that it has been many years, and there has never been such a lively person around him.
She goes and comes back quickly, always looking like she is in a hurry.
The tea cup overlapped and transformed in her hand, and finally merged into a fragrant wisp of fragrant soup.
"I added soothing mint slices and jasmine." The hands she pushed the teacup over looked very weak at the moment, "Don't always sleep so late, it will hurt your mind." β
Chiba looked at the tea in front of him, and the smoke was curling, which made people a little distracted. He took a sip and said, "Go back and rest." β
"I'll help you turn the candle on a little brighter." She was busy for a while before finally retreating to the door, "I'm leaving." β
"Hmm." He answered slowly, lowered his head and read the book again, but the footsteps of her departure were clearly heard.
Three days actually passed in the blink of an eye. In the past three days, Mo Chaoyun has been going back and forth between the study building and the martial arts field without stopping, perhaps because of this, so he slept very sweetly after nightfall. She went from slacking off and reluctant at the beginning to taking the initiative at the end, because she also felt that following Chiba's self, she began to become a better version of herself.
With Aunt Yun buttoning the last button of the red lotus skirt armor, Mo Chaoyun looked at the woman in the mirror with some amazement. If it had been a month ago, she wouldn't have even dared to imagine that such a woman would be herself. The hope and firmness between her brows, and her determination to overcome all odds and achieve her goal, are so strong and impossible to ignore. The silence of her heart had completely disappeared between her eyebrows and eyes, and the thought of being driven out of the county king's mansion that she felt that she had no love for life was finally extinguished like smoke and passed away.
The ring ceremony is not far from the Tianren Palace, in front of the Zhongning Hidden Pavilion, usually the door is closed here, very inconspicuous, but today is very lively, after all, it is the ring ceremony of the new election of the war servant of Chiba, it is for the Chiba to come, and there will be no fewer people.
According to Yun Gu, the messenger will also come today, but Mo Chaoyun has never seen him. I heard Yun Gu say that in the Demon Cave, in addition to the Hidden Demon Venerable Lu Ji, the Demon Venerable with the highest status is Chiba. But Lu Ji has never shown up, so in fact, Chiba is the real head of the Demon Venerable, so today is crowded, and almost all of the people who can be ranked in the Demon Cave are here.
Mo Chaoyun had already seen all the seven envoys, and Hongyan was not a stranger to her, and the rest of those who were second only to the envoys who sat down, according to Luo Yusheng, were the masters of the other courtyards.
Mo Chaoyun secretly counted it in his heart, and asked Luo Yusheng who was hiding behind her in a low voice: "Isn't there a total of nineteen courtyards, how can you count the number of courtyard masters but they can't match?" β
Luo Yushang was also silent, and said, "Wait a minute." Then he looked around and saw Wu Kuang, who was dressed in black and was extremely conspicuous, "Come on!" Come on! β
However, it has only been a short period of time, and Luo Yushang and Wu Kuang have already become familiar with this kind of Cheng dΓΉ? Mo Chaoyun looked at Luo Yusheng very familiarly biting his ears with Wu Kuang, didn't know what to say, nodded his head, and touched it back as unobtrusively as possible.
"Chaoyun, Wu Kuang said, that's because although the Nineteenth Courtyard is called the Nineteenth Courtyard, in fact, it has been merged, abolished, eliminated, and optimized over the years, so in the end, there are actually less than nineteen courtyards left, and one of the courtyards has become taboo because all the members have disappeared, and two courtyard owners have died, but the courtyard master did not designate a successor before he died, so the current courtyard master is just missing. Don't worry, everyone who can come will definitely come, after all, no one will not give face to Lord Chiba, don't be nervous. β
Mo Chaoyun couldn't laugh or cry, she wasn't thinking about this at all, okay? Although she is now Chiba's war servant, and it seems that her status has improved by leaps and bounds, she will not feel happy and complacent at all.
Mo Xun's incident was like a fish in her throat, and she didn't dare to forget it at any time. This cave is not a paradise, even if she is here at the moment, and even if she is still alive, she will thank the cave for saving her, but that kind of heartfelt belonging and gratitude can never be born. She felt at peace with her, and it was only because of that one person. She hated this place, but she fell in love with one of its people.
He was on top of her, and he mocked her wantonly. With him, it seems that there is always a sense of frustration that is powerless. Even though he didn't like her, this person made her feel at ease. It seems that as long as he is there, all the hardships and hardships will eventually pass. He was the shadow of the light, and he was with the light, and he appeared and became a salvation that she had never expected to come.
So be it.
Mo Chaoyun admonished himself in his heart. Today she will be his war servant, and they will live and die together, never to be separated. That's what she wants.
Mo Chaoyun walked up to the high platform in full view of everyone, and he waited for her on the high platform. Obviously, there is a lot of noise around her, and there are so many people and so many people that may distract her, but in fact, all she can see in her eyes is the white shirt. White is actually a very faint color, but he is the only one who can use only one color to beat all colors.
He was still dressed in white today, but it was obviously much more formal, and there was a hidden dark pattern on the sleeves and sides of his robe, only flashing a distinctive shadow between his movements. Such a clean and transparent color, but because he wears it, it can have an indescribable luxury and dazzling, which flows out unconsciously.
He stood up in front of her until the two of them were facing each other and standing together in the middle of the platform. The height is unbearable, and at this moment, it seems that only each other can be left in the eyes. If it weren't for Chiba wearing white, Mo Chaoyun would almost have the illusion that today was their little Dengke.
Mo Chaoyun laughed at himself in his heart, but he heard someone next to him singing, "Kneel!" β
She followed the rules taught by Aunt Yun, slowly knelt down on one knee in front of Chiba, and then looked up at him, while he looked at her without sadness or joy, "If you regret it at this moment, it's still too late." β
The salute on the side immediately said, "Chiba-sama, this is not in accordance with the rules. β
Chiba glanced at the person, "Then you tell her the rules." β
"This ......" sang the salute and said that "it is not in accordance with the rules." β
"What about the messenger?"
"The Messenger Will ...... Later"
"So it's not there yet?" Chiba asked coldly, "Now that everyone here is counted, is there a second person who can be my lord?" β
Cold sweat was pouring from the forehead of the singer of Zhongning Youguan, so he had to bow his head and take two steps back.
Chiba looked at Mo Chaoyun and said in a low voice: "Once the bracelet is put on, it can't be taken off without dying, even if this is the case, do you want to complete the ring and become my war servant?" β
Mo Chaoyun was stunned when she heard this, it turned out that the so-called ring conferring still had such a layer of secret, she always thought that it was just a mark of becoming a war servant, a symbol of status.
Chiba said: "I like to say ugly things in front, although this is not in line with the rules of the Demon Cave. β
"What are the rules of the Demon Cave?"
"Generally, after the ring is awarded, the secret of the sΓΉ warrior bracelet will be revealed." Chiba sneered, "The wood is already in the boat, and the regret of this kind of thing is really low-level in my opinion." β
"Why are you coming to tell me this at this moment?"
"Let's see if you really have the consciousness to make a life and death covenant with me, and it can be regarded as the last test of whether you really want to be my war servant." Chiba tugged at the corners of her lips when she said this, "After all, each other will be the most important person to each other in the future, and there is nothing wrong with thinking twice." β
Mo Chaoyun asked, "What if I regret it?" β
Chiba glanced at her, "It's ...... to return to the Nineteenth Courtyard or be punished."
Mo Chaoyun said seriously: "It's not what will happen to me, I mean what impact will it have on you?" Will you be punished in any way? After all, you violated the rules of the Demon Cave and told me the secret of the ring. β
Chiba frowned, "You don't worry about yourself at this time, what do you care about me?" What can I do? It's just a big deal to change a war servant. β
Mo Chaoyun was originally worried that Chiba would be implicated because he told her the secret of the ring in advance, and he was relieved to hear that he would be fine, but when he heard the last sentence, he immediately said angrily: "What does it mean to change a war servant?" β
Chiba was also amazed by the speed at which Mo Chaoyun's face changed, and he was silent for a moment before he said to the singer on the side: "What do you see?" Turn my back for me. β
The singer felt that he was very wronged, and he had no sense of zΓ i anymore, how could he still be angry. turned around and silently walked a few steps forward, only to feel that he was temporarily away from the place of right and wrong.
"I have already taken over the mission of the demon lord, and I am about to set off immediately, if you don't want to be my war servant, I also need a new war servant to make the trip. So even if it's not you, there will be someone else. β
Mo Chaoyun didn't relent, "You say, it's not me, who are you going to choose?" β
Chiba asked rhetorically, "So, did you refuse?" β
Mo Chaoyun saw that he was asking without pain, and became even more angry, "Who said that!" Even if you don't like me, I won't give you to anyone else! I don't refuse, I don't refuse, and I won't give up this position to others even if I die. β
At that moment, I don't know if it was an illusion, or if she really shouted so loudly, I just felt that the original hustle and bustle around her had calmed down. Mo Chaoyun felt that impulsiveness was really the devil, she lowered her head in shame and remorse, but raised her right hand very high.
