Chapter 23: Fairy Drinking
One word stirred up a thousand waves. No one could have imagined that Lin Ruxue, who was usually frosty and cold, would say such words.
The sound of the man in black swallowing saliva was even more visible, obviously shocked.
"We will report it 'truthfully'......"
"Let's go ......," they withdrew, one by one.
The head of the Zhao family knew that it was not good for him now, so he left in a hurry with his daughter and said:
"Zhou Xu, I didn't expect that you would really impress me now, and I was convinced. But for the sake of those two sons, I will take revenge!"
"Alas......"
Zhou Xu's mood is very complicated now, he quietly looked at the head of the Zhao family, and left with Wanqing, he didn't make any moves, just watched quietly like this. Ignore this "enemy".
"Alright, it's all over. β
Jin Zhentian breathed a long sigh of relief, "Boy Zhou Xu, and this girl, if it's late today, please go to Jin's house to rest and recuperate, and then go back to the Kamikaze Academy tomorrow." β
"Well, thank you Uncle Kim. β
In this way, they were going to Kim's house for the night.
At the same time, the men in black arrived at a nearby inn. After opening the door, inside was a young man with a sharp beak and a smile on his face, and it was Zhao Ming.
Several people in black were not surprised by this, because they had already made an appointment to meet here, which is why they knew about the situation of the two sons of the Zhao family, and the leader was the first to speak.
"Zhao Ming, a few of us have already decided to take you as an apprentice......"
"Really?" Zhao Ming was obviously flattered, you must know that his talent is extremely poor, and it is absolutely impossible to be favored by such a few big people.
"Of course. But well...... When you're done, you'll have to come to Qingshan Town to do something for me. β
It turned out that although a few of them promised not to come to Qingshan Town again. However, if even a small Qingshan town can't be breached, then they don't have the face to meet their peers.
The most important thing is that they have lost face in this Qingshan Town, although it is impossible to give up so easily.
"Now, do you want to go back and let me know?"
"No need...... My dad won't necessarily allow me to go with you. β
"Let's go, then. β
Then, they turned into a black shadow and quietly left.
......
Late at night, everyone in the Jin family was partying. For no other reason, the Zhao family, who has been very arrogant in the past few days, finally didn't dare to make any more moves. And all of this was helped by Zhou Xu.
At this carnival banquet, Zhou Xu and the ice and snow girl became the objects of everyone's conversation.
They all felt strange and even revered by Zhou Xu's changes, at least in the eyes of the Jin family, Zhou Xu was no longer the Zhou Xu of the past.
And that girl named Lin Ruxue was called a heavenly maiden by those people in the Jin family, and her mystery and nobility attracted the worship of countless people.
"Let's toast them!"
"Good!"
From time to time, there was the clatter of wine glasses and the rough laughter of men.
However, no one noticed that the protagonist of this banquet quietly slipped outside.
In the corner of the crowd, Ling'er was looking for someone, and her face was anxious.
As the eldest lady of the Jin family, her every move naturally received great attention in the Jin family, but she always avoided everyone's greetings, just kept looking.
"Really, where did Zhou Xu go?"
Ling'er covered his head and complained, he had already searched the entire Jin family, but still had not found any trace of Zhou Xu. Then it is clear that he has left.
"If you are looking for Zhou Xu, then it's a pity that he went out a few hours ago......
This was naturally Lin Ruxue's voice, and she didn't know when she walked to Ling'er's side.
"It's better to let him be alone and quiet. β
"Senior Sister Lin......"
Ling'er pouted, "Can you go find Zhou Xu?" He must be in a complicated mood now...... Well, I'm sure you are too. β
"Really?"
"It's not unreasonable for Senior Sister Lin to be called 'Ice Beauty' in the academy, after all, you never show your emotions, whether you are happy or sad, Senior Sister always has a face. I think you must need someone to comfort you now, and Zhou Xu is also ......"
"Okay. β
Lin Ruxue immediately got up, and suddenly turned her head again, "I finally know why Feng Tianyin likes you so much." β
"Hee-hee-"
Ling'er smiled cutely, and said shyly in a mosquito-like voice, "Senior sister, don't forget one thing, he can be regarded as my fiancΓ©......"
"I know. β
......
On a towering peak, there was a grim-faced young man who sat unscrupulously on a raised rock, beside which a pot of wine was placed.
This is the strongest wine he can buy, and the strongest wine can dispel the deepest sorrows.
Where the boy stared was a withered yellow forest.
It was a vibrant forest formed not long ago because of the Wood Spirit Beads, and now, because it could not withstand the cold wind of winter, it had withered and withered.
"Hahahaββ!"
The boy smiled helplessly, for no reason, just the endless wildness and melancholy.
He punched the boulder next to him without warning, using only the strength of his own flesh, and in an instant, the boulder like a small mountain became sparse, and his fist was also stained with a touch of abrasion.
At this moment, a woman's voice suddenly came.
"The forest eroded by the seasons is not long-lasting, as long as it survives this cold winter, when the spring breeze once again sprinkles the earth, this forest will be full of life again and restore its former glory. β
"Yes, the trees are like that, what about the people?" The young man smiled slightly, but infinite melancholy was written in his eyes, "What do you say?"
"I don't feel it, I don't want to speak. Jin Ling'er is looking for you, and those Jin family members are also cheering for you, are you just sitting here alone and drinking?"
"Haββ?"
"Forget it. β
Lin Ruxue sat down next to Zhou Xu gently, a plate of ice bowls condensed in her hands, and she held the bowl next to the pot of wine.
This woman like the first snow, her face was no different from usual, unwavering, as if nothing had happened.
But no one knew the ups and downs of her heart, or the worries in her heart.
"It's a strong drink!"
"It doesn't matter. β
As if he understood the worry in Lin Ruxue's heart, he gently poured the wine in the pot into the ice bowl.
Afterwards, the two gently clinked glasses and drank them all.
"I didn't expect Fairy Lin to drink too?"
"It's just a drink to kill your sorrows...... At this time, the wine is no longer wine, it is a sad ......"
"Fairy Nalin ......"
"It's too raw to be called a 'fairy', I don't like it. Call me 'Ru Xue'!"
Zhou Xu was stunned for a moment, and then relieved.
"Didn't you always wonder why I saved you in the first place?"
"Oh?"
"Because then I found out, from the look on your face, the way you looked, that you were a man who had been tricked by fateβjust like me. β
"I see!"
As the two spoke, they took another sip of wine, the sweet wine in their mouths, but it exuded a faint bitterness.
"When I came to the academy, my first goal was to slaughter the Zhao family. But when I was about to achieve this goal, there was a person, Zhao Wanqing, who denied my behavior. β
Zhou Xu let out a long sigh.
"Yes, now it seems that the head of the Zhao family at that time was indeed just the right way to eliminate evil, and we are indeed wicked people, and we can't refute it. β
Suddenly, he took another long sip of wine.
"So, when I could single-handedly end the life of the Zhao family master, I told myself that I couldn't do this...... At the end of the day, I don't even know why I'm worried about it. β
"I don't understand. β
Lin Ruxue's hand instantly condensed a frost sword and pointed at Zhou Xu, "Let's have a discussion!"
Zhou Xu was stunned for a moment, as if he understood something, and then laughed:
"I'm happy to accompany you!"
......
In this way, on the top of the mountain, a pair of young boys and girls are showing their martial arts to their heart's content, which puts a new color on the upcoming morning.
