Xuanyuan Mingyu fell at Qin Xingyi's feet, and when she heard her indignant reprimand, she smiled helplessly, she had lost her memory because of a head injury, and she couldn't remember what had happened in the past.

Qin Xingyi looked down at Xuanyuan Mingyu condescendingly, a past incident of his acquaintance with Xuanyuan Mingyu four years ago came to mind, and contradictory and complex emotions surged into his heart.

Four years ago, Qin Xingyi was thirteen years old, and her life in Xifeng Tower was very busy, practicing martial arts early in the morning and reading and writing in the afternoon.

At that time, even though she was tired and tired, Qin Xingyi did not complain. She knew that she was the only female disciple taken in by the Lord of the West Wind Building, and if she wanted to get ahead, she would have to work harder than other male disciples.

Qin Xingyi's favorite time is dusk, and having dinner is a rare little leisure time in her day.

She always goes to the river near the West Wind Tower, listens to the sound of the river, sometimes picks up the pebbles by the river and floats on the river, watching the pebbles running forward on the water, she will laugh very happily.

I don't know when the road started, Qin Xingyi found that there was a boy on the opposite riverbank.

Qin Xingyi felt very curious, and often hid behind the willow tree to peek, and saw the boy sitting on a big stone silently looking at the river in a daze, not knowing what he was thinking.

Originally, Qin Xingyi felt that this place by the river was his own exclusive territory, a place for him to relax, and sometimes he had to vent here alone when he encountered something unpleasant, but now that there was an outsider on the other side, he couldn't help but feel uncomfortable.

Since she felt uncomfortable, according to Qin Xingyi's eldest lady's temper, she wanted to drive this uninvited guest away immediately, and she once walked in front of the single-plank bridge.

There is a single-plank bridge over the creek, which is a passage connecting the two ends of the riverbank.

Qin Xingyi stood in front of the single-plank bridge, one foot raised for a long time, but she couldn't take a step forward, the distance was very close, she saw very clearly, the boy was about one or two years younger than herself, wearing a white robe, his eyes were lowered, he seemed to have a melancholy expression, and he stared at the river with a polite gaze.

Qin Xingyi was unconsciously moved by his noble and elegant but sad temperament, felt that he was preoccupied, and wanted to ask him what happened, so he hesitated for a while and retracted his steps.

Across the river, Qin Xingyi stood silently beside the single-plank bridge, looking at the boy from afar for a long time, but unfortunately, the boy never looked up at her.

As the days passed, the banks of the river became a place for the two children to relieve their boredom, but the boy always looked sad and lonely, and he never looked at the other side with his eyes, let alone noticed Qin Xingyi's existence.

This made Qin Xingyi feel that she had no sense of existence, she and him were separated by a river, and they turned out to be two worlds, each with different moods.

Although the boy didn't pay attention to Qin Xingyi, Qin Xingyi observed him meticulously, his handsome face, thin and tall figure, and elegant posture sitting on a big stone were like a jade tree in the wind.

Qin Xingyi also thought that the young man must have something unspeakable, and he might be able to help him with his martial arts. However, how can a girl run to talk to her for no reason, she will inevitably lose her identity as the eldest lady.

After about a month like this, if it weren't for a little accident, Qin Xingyi and the boy in white would still get along like this.

However, the unexpected happened.

Suddenly, one day, a third party broke into the river, breaking the silence of this private territory.

The intruder was the son of the owner of the Proton Pavilion of the Western Qin Kingdom, who was obviously a few years older than Qin Xingyi and the boy, with a fierce expression, he rushed to the river, and couldn't help but break up to catch the boy in white, and scolded in his mouth:

"Stinky proton! Don't give Lao Tzu face, right? Other protons have sent congratulatory gifts, why don't you see your share? ”

The boy in white was almost caught by someone because he was sitting on a big rock, but fortunately he was quick and stood up lightly, avoiding the dirty hand that grabbed his snow-white clothes.

The young man who broke in refused to give up, and then approached the proton again, and once again reached out to the boy, ready to capture the boy in white alive.

The boy in white did not answer, but retreated again and again, and almost fell into the river.

I heard a girl shouting in mid-air: "Nasty! Bully, you're the stinky guy! ”

"Who?"

The young man asked in surprise, and hurriedly turned around, and saw a little red-booted dragonfly on the single-plank bridge of the small river, and a girl in red leaped over in the air and kicked at her face.

The girl in red is Qin Xingyi, her light skills can be among the first-class, seeing that the young man who broke in was about to capture the boy in white, she couldn't help but sprout the heart of righteousness and courage, and leaped across the river to save her.

Qin Xingyi kicked the young man back, pulled the boy in white to his side, and comforted: "Don't be afraid, I'm here." ”

"Are you ......?"

The two of them stood together, the boy in white was half a head taller than Qin Xingyi, he asked two words, and did not break free of his hand, allowing Qin Xingyi to hold his wrist, hook his lips and smile, his immature face was full of gratitude.

Qin Xingyi looked up at the boy in white, and saw that his bright eyes were very clear when they were cast on him, radiating a wise and warm light, and he didn't know what he was doing, and his heart suddenly jumped a few times inexplicably.

"I don't care who I am. Who are you? ”

Qin Xingyi lowered her voice and said shyly, she didn't dare to look at the face of the boy in white anymore, she secretly hated herself for not being angry, how could she become so weak at this moment, this is not in line with her usual style.

"I ...... It's better for you not to know about my business, I'm unlucky, and I'll get you in trouble. The boy in white said with some frustration.

When Qin Xingyi heard this, she felt a little depressed, the two of them didn't say a single reason, they didn't even know their names, let alone their identities, etc., they couldn't help but raise their eyebrows slightly, and they were about to say a few tough words, but they heard someone say:

"Stinky girl, you are bold, dare to meddle with Lao Tzu's affairs?"

The young man scolded in annoyance. His name is Hu Feng, he is the son of the prime minister, and now he is the owner of the Proton Pavilion, where would he put a little girl in his eyes?

"Hmph, still Lao Tzu? Miss Ben is just going to be nosy, who told you to bully him! ”

Qin Xingyi was scolded so much that she crossed her waist with one hand without showing weakness, and raised her mouth with confidence.

The little girl in front of Hu Feng was not only light, but also courageous, and actually contradicted herself, but she also secretly had a bit of praise in her heart, and asked in a contemptuous tone:

"How? Lao Tzu just wants to bully him! Do you know who he is? ”

"I don't care who he is, you can't bully people. Forget it, let's talk about you first! Who are you? What is your name? How did you track it down here? ”

Qin Xingyi took a step forward, consciously or unconsciously, covering the boy in white behind him, and asking a series of questions.

Hu Feng folded his arms around his chest, and lifted his father out first as if he was a little ostentatious, and said, "I don't even know who I am? It can be seen that the little girl is lonely and unheard. There is a famous Prime Minister Hu Cheng in the Western Qin State, have you heard of it? ”

"Prime Minister Hu is you?" Qin Xingyi's eyes widened, a little incredulous, it shouldn't be easy to achieve the position of prime minister, and the person in front of him was too young.

Hu Feng said cheekily: "Prime Minister Hu Cheng is my father, my name is Hu Feng, not bragging, if I want to track down anyone in the Western Qin Kingdom, no one can escape." But Lao Tzu wondered, it seems that you don't know this kid, why are you protecting him? If you go against Lao Tzu, there will be no good results. ”

Qin Xingyi heard that Hu Feng's tone was very loud, implying that he was threatening himself, and he was very unhappy in his heart, and asked rhetorically:

"You are so capable, you seem to be able to reach the heavens and the earth, why do you have to get along with him?"

"Well, I won't tell you, this kid is a proton sent by the Xuanyuan Dynasty, and he will be handed over to our Western Qin State Proton Pavilion to take care of, Lao Tzu is the curator, he is disobedient, of course he can't be spared."

At this time, Qin Xingyi suddenly understood that this boy in white was a proton sent by the Xuanyuan Dynasty, so he turned around and asked, "Are you from the Xuanyuan Dynasty?" ”

The boy in white nodded and admitted calmly: "Yes, I am Xuanyuan Mingyu, the third prince of the Xuanyuan Dynasty, and I came here to be a proton, you can call me Mingyu." ”

"Oh, Mingyu, my name is Qin Xingyi. I won't let him hurt you. Now tell me, how did you offend this curator? ”

Qin Xingyi suddenly felt that she had a great responsibility and had to stand up to protect Xuanyuan Mingyu.

Xuanyuan Mingyu was very sad in his heart, protons like himself from foreign countries had no status and no sense of security, and the reason why he offended the curator Hu Feng was very simple, that is, Hu Feng coerced the protons of various countries in the proton hall to send congratulatory gifts to his father Hu Chengxiang, and he refused to give gifts regardless of Hu Feng's arrogant attitude.

The protons from all over the world did not dare to go against the will of the curator Hu Feng, and respectfully handed over valuable gifts one after another.

Hu Feng saw that the money was open, and he was happy to collect the gifts one by one, and when he counted them at the end of the year, he found that there was no gift from the Xuanyuan Dynasty, and he was immediately angry, and heard his subordinates report that Xuanyuan Mingyu went to the river, so he traced it.

Xuanyuan Mingyu wanted to tell Qin Xingyi that Hu Feng, the owner of the pavilion, was not a good person, and the girl had better stay away from Hu Feng, otherwise she would suffer.

Xuanyuan Mingyu almost fell into the river when she retreated just now, but fortunately, Qin Xingyi rescued her in time, knowing that she knew martial arts, but after all, she and her were first encountered, and she didn't want to cause her trouble, so she said:

"It's okay, I can solve this matter by myself. Thank you Miss Qin for saving me just now, and I will have the opportunity to repay you for saving your life in the future. Now get out of here and go home safely. ”

"What about you?" Qin Xingyi asked uneasily.
