Chapter Forty-Eight: The Wind Rises
On the fifth day of September, there are still five days left before the treasure appraisal meeting on the ninth day of September. When the sun showed its first rays www.biquge.info Xie Zhao got up and began to wander aimlessly around the village. Along the way, there are all lifelike stone tigers in different shapes, and from a distance, these stone tigers seem to be real white tigers in the sun, but Xie Zhao always feels that there is something strange when she looks at all this, but she can't say what is strange. It's as if something is blocking my thoughts in my head.
What exactly? I always feel that something very important has been overlooked.
Her brows furrowed slightly, her mind was confused, and before she knew it, she smelled a rich but mixed fragrance, and when she looked up at the smell of flowers, she found herself in a huge garden. All the flowers are neatly placed on the trellis by the owner, and the delicate flowers are bathed in the sun and compete to bloom.
Suddenly, a voice came from behind him.
"Miss Xie, are you still used to everything in the village?"
"Master Xiao." Xie Zhao heard the sound and turned around to see Xiao Ziyi carefully holding a pot of thousand-leaf yellow flower peony in his hand, as if he was thinking about where to put the flower. Sensing that Xie Zhao was staring at the peony in his hand, he pulled the corners of his mouth and smiled, with a look of nostalgia in his eyes.
"This is a new peony in the village, but it is still too delicate, and I am trying to find a suitable place for her."
Xie Zhao looked at the peony in Xiao Ziyi's hand, his voice was faint, and it seemed to be mocking. "Yao Huang Wei Zi, the owner is very interested."
"I just feel happy every time I see these flowers." Xiao Ziyi closed his eyes as he spoke, his face showed a look of intoxication, at this time Xie Zhao finally found out why Xiao Ziyi looked wrong, even if he made various expressions on his face, he was very stiff, and there was a problem on the face of the person in front of him. The thoughts in my heart turned, and my face was silent, just a slight smile.
"Then I won't bother the owner."
"Wait." Xiao Ziyi opened his eyes and said something to stop Xie Zhao from leaving, and then he realized that he was a little out of shape and smiled apologetically.
"Is there anything else, Master Xiao?" Xie Zhao looked at Xiao Ziyi with a slight smile on the corner of his lips.
Xiao Ziyi searched the flower stand, and finally her eyes fell on a pot of roses, and her eyes showed that it was her. He walked over slowly, picked up the pot of delicate white roses on the flower stand, and handed it to Xie Zhao.
"This one is for you, although I don't know why, I always feel like it is compatible with you."
Reining the look in his eyes, Xie Zhao bowed slightly. Move like a child of a family rather than a chivalrous warrior with a knife. "Thank you for the kindness of Master Xiao, then I will accept it." Taking the rose from Xiao Ziyi's hand, she spoke again. "Farewell."
This time, Xiao Ziyi did not say anything again to stop Xie Zhao's departure. After watching Xie Zhao leave, he turned his head to look at the peony in his arms again. Whispered softly. "Peony, where shall I put you? Do you prefer a sunny spot or something a little cooler? The peony in his arms trembled slightly when he heard his whisper.
"Are you scared too?" Looking at the reaction of the peony in his arms, Xiao Ziyi gently stroked the peony in his arms. "Don't be afraid, your companion will soon be with you." He giggled, very strange in the garden of Notda.
Looking down at the white rose in his hand, Xie Zhao's eyes were complicated, was it white? Smiling self-deprecatingly, Xie Zhao continued to walk aimlessly. Feeling the demonic energy, the white rose in her arms trembled twice with the wind blowing.
Yao Lin saw such a scene when he saw Jianzhao, a girl in red bathed in the sun, holding a pot of white roses in her hand, with a shallow smile on her face, like a picture of a lady. He couldn't help but be stupid. He had seen countless beauties, but at this moment, he couldn't help but feel a deer in his heart.
Xie Zhao turned his head to look at Yao Lin, bowed his head slightly, and then ignored Yao Lin's slightly red face and continued her aimless walk.
"Wait." Yao Lin watched Xie Zhao turn around and leave, and couldn't help but make a sound.
"What's the matter?" Xie Zhao looked at Yao Lin who was chasing her, and his amber eyes were indifferent. The look of admiration on Yao Lin's face was all in her eyes.
"That, Miss Xie...... I ......" Yao Lin was staggered, his face flushed, he couldn't speak fluently under any circumstances when he was stared at by Xie Zhao's amber eyes. Looking at Yao Lin in front of him, Xie Zhao's voice was faint and alienated. Under the illumination of the sun, Yao Lin felt for a moment that Xie Zhao in front of him was far away from him.
"If Yao Gongzi is fine, I will leave."
"I, I want to ask Miss Xie if you have a marriage match." Yao Lin watched Xie Zhao turn around and plan to leave, and couldn't help but reach out and grab the corner of Xie Zhao's clothes. was dodged by Xie Zhao's feet. Looking at the chill condensed on Xie Zhao's face afterwards, he hurriedly spoke. "I ...... Nothing else, just ......"
"I have a marriage contract, and Yao Gongzi is still satisfied with such an answer."
"It's me who is abrupt." Yao Lin listened to Xie Zhao's words, his face turned pale because of embarrassment, but he didn't seem to give up and continued to speak. "I don't know which chivalrous warrior in the rivers and lakes has been favored by Miss Xie."
Xie Zhao's amber eyes looked at Yao Lin, and his voice became cold because of the mention of the marriage contract. "It's none of your business."
"I ...... Just ......"
"It's really interesting to see such a good show early in the morning." Yao Lin interrupted his next words with a playful voice, and then jumped from the roof to a boy about seventeen or eighteen years old. He landed lightly, without making a sound.
"Star Soul." Yao Lin couldn't help but look at the young man who appeared in front of him with wide eyes, how could he appear here, obviously the young man in front of him was not interested in anything around him a few days ago.
"It's you." Xie Zhao looked at the star soul in front of him, but his voice was affirmative.
"Exactly." Star Soul smiled at Xie Zhao, then turned his head to look at Yao Lin. There was a look of arrogance in his eyes. "Put away your thoughts, human." A red light flashed in his eyes as he spoke, but his next action was interrupted. A sword passed between him and Yao Lin, and the blade slashed in front of the Star Soul, cutting off his sideburns, and finally slammed into the wall, making a buzzing sound.
"What are you doing?"
Along with the sword came Lou Luan, who was dressed in a blue and white robe. He stretched out his hand and whispered a few words to the sword inserted into the wall, and the sword was slowly drawn from the wall, spun in the air a few times, and then inserted it into its scabbard steadily.
Yao Lin was already dumbfounded when he looked at the changes in front of him.
"Hmph, the stinky Taoist priest of the Ethereal Mountain." Star Soul brushed his sideburns, which had been cut off in half, and his eyes were full of disgust. Then his hand covered the weapon on his waist, as if he was ready to fight Lou Luan, but one hand blocked in front of the star soul.
"Stand down." Xie Zhao's voice exuded a chill.
"Yes." Looking at Xie Zhao who was blocking in front of him, the star soul thought of his master's advice and instantly restrained the aura around him. But the hand was still on the weapon.
Lou Luan looked at the star soul in front of him as if he wanted to do something to Yao Lin, and his brows furrowed.
"Xie Zhao, what are you going to do?"
"What I do is none of your business, little Taoist." Xie Zhao looked at Lou Luan's frowning brows, and her words were tinged with mockery.
For a while, the relationship between the two people, which was not easy to ease, resumed tension again.
"Whatever you want."
"Luan, it's not what you think, I'm just ......" Yao Lin looked at Lou Luan and Xie Zhao and hurriedly explained, but his expression looked a little hesitant, and the explanation was vague but deepened Lou Luan's misunderstanding.
The eyes are facing each other. But at the same time, he turned his head.
"Star Soul, take me to Yueluo, I just have something to ask you." Xie Zhao was the first to break the silence.
"No problem, sir." He smiled at Xie Zhao, but snorted coldly when he turned his head to look at Yao Lin again.
Yao Lin watched Xie Zhao leave with the Star Soul. It wasn't until Xie Zhao's figure completely disappeared that he withdrew his gaze. The stars are a demon cult from overseas, although they have never done evil in the Central Plains, but their style of action is too arrogant and domineering, which causes the righteous path of the rivers and lakes to be dissatisfied. How could a weak girl like Miss Xie know those people from the Demon Sect. Yao Lin thought about it, but subconsciously ignored the Lin Feng that Xie Zhao was carrying.
After walking a little farther, the Star Soul showed puzzlement on his face. There was a faint hint in his voice that he was not in a good mood.
"My lord, why are you stopping me from cleaning up that nasty guy. Obviously, he was very offensive to adults. Xie Zhao didn't answer Star Soul's words, she changed the topic and asked Star Soul.
"Star Soul, have you investigated the abnormalities in the village?"
Pouting, Star Soul lowered his voice and spoke. "But there are some differences, but it's not convenient for adults to say this." With that, his gaze looked at the flower in Xie Zhao's hand.
Xie Zhao smiled slightly, signaling that there was something wrong with the flower that the star soul was referring to.
"Let's go, go find the moon."
"I'm really going to find her." Speaking of going to find the moon spirit, Star Soul had a look of reluctance on his face, and at this time he looked like a teenager.
Xie Zhao glanced at the Star Soul out of the corner of his eye, and his voice was faint. "If you don't want to, you don't go."
"I'd better go, though I don't want to see that guy at all." Star Soul made a reluctant expression on his face, but the red color of the tips of his ears revealed that the young man was shy at this time.
"Quarrel again."
"Hmm." Star Soul nodded.
"Why this time?"
"No, nothing...... It's just a little thing......" With an embarrassed look on his face, the star soul turned his face. Last night, because he lost a bet with the moon spirit, he was put on a skirt by the moon spirit, and then he was ridiculed, and then he fought hard, and he couldn't beat the moon spirit, and finally became angry and embarrassed, this kind of thing is not embarrassed to tell the adults at all.
