Chapter 16: Talking Under the Moon
The bright moonlight spilled into the room through the sparse bamboo forest, leaving a dappled black shadow on the ground. Please use this site.
Lying on the bed sideways, looking at the mottled black shadow on the ground that moved with the wind, Xiang Yantian felt quite confused in his mind, and he couldn't sleep after tossing and turning for a long time. In fact, she should have fallen asleep easily, after all, a lot had already happened during the day. Starting from the north gate of Yunlai City and walking to the foot of Yunlai Mountain, and then climbing the towering Yunlai Mountain (although the second half was carried up by Yan Qing), and finally finally walked to the resting place, but was troubled by the disciples of the Jiuyang Sect, and it took a lot of effort to drive them away. Obviously, after going through so much, her body and mind have long been exhausted, but she just doesn't feel sleepy at all.
Looking intently at the black bamboo shadows that were constantly swinging on the ground, Xiang Yantian's heart suddenly swelled with a faint sense of unease, and he always felt that something bad was about to happen.
Lying on the bed tossing and turning, Xiang Yantian suddenly felt that he should go out for a walk, after all, the moonlight was very good tonight, and he might be able to fall asleep better by going out to relax. So, she gently stepped out of bed and crept out of the room.
As soon as she stepped out of the room, she felt a chill hit her face. The night in the mountains was always a little chilly, but she barely felt it in her room before. From this point of view, the courtyard they lived in was quite high-level, and the treatment given to them by the Yun Sect was quite good.
Walking on the bluestone path in the courtyard, the bright moonlight shone on his face, making Xiang Yantian's already snow-white face even more crystal white, and the slightest moisture filled the air, and even his body seemed to be covered with a faint veil. Now she gives people a hazy beauty, and a layer of tulle is covered with her delicate appearance in the past, which makes her add a kind of nobility.
Walking to the middle of the courtyard and looking forward to the bright moon hanging high in the night sky, Xiang Yantian was suddenly stunned. For she found that under the full moon, a white figure on the roof was sitting quietly. originally thought that only he would come out in the middle of the night, but he didn't expect Yan Qing to be outside. He had a big battle with that Senior Brother Zhao of the Nine Yang Sect during the day! Isn't this time the time to get some rest? After all, tomorrow there will be that hundred-door conference that seems to be very important.
Looking for a place where it was more convenient to climb to the roof, Xiang Yantian walked over silently. Lifting the corner of her skirt, she struggled to climb up. She was about to climb to the roof, but no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't climb up the last step, and she still did the same with all her strength.
However, just as she slowly exhaled and was about to give up, she found a hand appear in front of her. This hand is white and slender, and at first glance it looks like a girl's hand, but if you look closely, you find that the knuckles are slightly larger than those of ordinary girls, so it should be a man's hand. When she raised her head, she found that Yan Qing was looking at her with plain eyes, and she couldn't see joy, anger and sorrow. But she felt a little embarrassed to look at her like this, and she didn't know what to do for a while. It's a shame that you can't even go up to this little roof!
"Take my hand!" As if he felt that his expression was a little out of place, Yan Qing showed a hint of a smile and spoke.
Stunned for a moment, but soon recovered again, Xiang Yantian lowered his head and answered softly: "Hmm." Then he stretched out his little white hand and took the same white hand.
As soon as he held his hand, Xiang Yantian felt a warmth that was diametrically opposed to the coldness around him. Although his palms are not wide, they are very powerful and can make people feel a sense of security.
With Yan Qing's help, Xiang Yantian easily climbed to the roof. Standing on the roof, Xiang Yantian experienced a different feeling, that is, freedom. Although she had climbed a much higher pavilion in the palace, she had never really climbed to the roof. Therefore, standing in such a high place with an unobstructed view of the sky, she naturally felt more free. As a result, she yearned for that superb light skill even more.
Walking to Yan Qing's side and sitting down, Xiang Yantian asked with some curiosity: "What are you doing outside in the middle of the night without sleeping?" ”
Gently picking up the delicate sword placed on the ground, Yan Qing stared at a bright moon in the sky, and said slowly: "I can't sleep...... And we need someone to keep vigil. ”
"Vigil? Why? Xiang Yantian's eyes widened suddenly, and he asked incredulously, "Isn't the Yun Sect Master your senior uncle?" ”
"You don't understand......" Yan Qing sighed softly.
Seeing that the atmosphere was a little solemn, Xiang Yantian slowly lowered his head and was silent. She knew she seemed to be asking a question she shouldn't have asked, so she looked like she had made a mistake.
"What about you, why did you run out?" Perhaps thinking that he had made the atmosphere so solemn, Yan Qing opened the topic rarely.
"Me?" Xiang Yantian raised his head and winked at Yan Qing, then looked up at the sky again, and said slowly, "I can't sleep either." I don't know what's going on, I always feel a little uneasy. ”
"Uneasy?" Yan Qing also felt a little strange.
"Haha, maybe it's just an illusion!" Xiang Yantian explained with a smile.
Yan Qing suddenly frowned, and fell into silence again, looking like he was lost in thought.
Tilting his head and looking at Yan Qing, Xiang Yantian looked like he wanted to speak and stopped, as if there was something unspeakable. After struggling so repeatedly, Xiang Yantian's beautiful eyes suddenly showed a determined look, as if he had finally made up his mind.
"That...... Can you teach me martial arts? She opened her mouth with some hesitation, stammering something she had been brewing for a long time.
"What did you say?" Yan Qing asked with a look of ignorance. He was deep in thought before, and only then was he awakened by Xiang Yantian's words, naturally he didn't hear what she said.
"I said, can you teach me martial arts?" Finally mustered up the courage, Xiang Yan poured out this sentence in one breath.
"Why do you want to learn martial arts?"
"Because I want to be great!" Xiang Yan poured out the strength from nowhere, and stood up from the roof excitedly. But this is only the beginning of a tragedy. She had just stood up from the roof, and her feet suddenly slipped, and the whole person rolled directly along the eaves towards the ground!
"Hey!" With an exclamation, Yan Qing quickly stood up from the roof, and jumped towards Xiang Yantian in one step before he even had time to take the sword on the ground.
"Huh-" grabbed Xiang Yantian, and Yan Qing seemed to be relieved.
Pulled by Yan Qing, it looked like she was almost hanging on the eaves, Xiang Yantian's previous excitement had long disappeared without a trace, and now she was like a deflated ball.
"Also, I don't want to hold you ......back," Xiang Yantian added his previous words in a low mood.
Yan Qing was about to speak, but suddenly looked at a big tree not far away, and his eyes suddenly became sharp.
"Who? Come out for me! ”
