Chapter Ninety-Eight: Expectation
Thorn Flower didn't know what to say for a while, so she hurriedly waved her hand and said, "Don't change the topic! Tell me honestly what the hell is going on? As soon as the competition list came out, the entire Red Fang was fried, and the owner and Lord Moxian were very angry, Xiaoqian, how can you mess with those people in the Divine Mansion?"
"What's wrong with the people in the Divine Mansion?" Xia Yuqian looked at her inexplicably and asked, "Young Master Shenyu Xuan treated me very well, he saved me and took me in, and the lord of the Divine Mansion also helped the people in our village pay off all the taxes and gave me the opportunity to participate in the competition! Why can others go to the ring competition, but I can't?"
"Because that's not where you should go!" Thorn Flower was also anxious, she grabbed Xia Yuqian, looked at her eyes, and said very seriously: "Xiaoqian! We are not from the same world as them!"
"Why aren't we people of the same world? We all live in the Xuan Realm, we are all human beings! Why is it that my family has no money and can't pay taxes and has to be sold into slavery? Why can't I fight for myself to participate in the competition?"
"Because you don't understand...... You can't fight them!" Seeing her like this, Thorn Flower was so anxious that she was sweating profusely, "You said that Shenyu Xuan saved you and helped you, didn't Young Master Shaokun also help you?" Lord Moxian also helped you, and Young Master Fengchen, he saved you twice!"
"Young Master Fengchen, how is he now?" Xia Yuqian suddenly asked with concern.
"I just woke up last night, but my body is still very weak, I'm afraid the ring match will be affected......" Thorn Flower said a little sadly, "Yuqian, Young Master Fengchen would be very sad if he knew that you were competing for the Divine Mansion......"
"Why!" Xia Yuqian only felt inexplicable, although she was a slave, she was already a thousand years ago, and she didn't want to be a slave in this life. As for the debts she owes, she will pay them back, whether it is owed to Xuanwuling Fengchen or Han Shaokun, but she doesn't want to be a weak person for the rest of her life, and in the end, she still has a debt that she can't pay off before she dies!
"Sister Thorn Flower, you don't have to say more! I really appreciate you coming to see me! If Young Master Shaokun asks, you can tell him that I once wanted to play for the Han Mansion, but the Han Mansion is already full, and Young Master Fengchen, he saved me, and I will personally go to thank him when the competition is over!" With that, she turned around and left, leaving Thorn Flower alone in place.
Thorn Flower walked back to the Red Square with some hesitation, and when she went back, it was late, she walked through the lobby, went up the stairs, and turned into the side hall, and saw Han Shaokun standing on the balcony in a daze, with a trace of loneliness in his back.
She remembered the first time she saw him that year, and he was like that. She was the same age as him, it was many years ago, she first came to the Red Place, at that time he was the eldest young master of the Han Mansion, the son of Han Xiaotian, and her family had just fallen and became a dancer in the Red Mansion. They participated in the ring competition together, Han Shaokun won the first place in the ring competition, and entered the martial arts list in the same year, but he gave up his good future and was willing to be just an ordinary person......
"Are you back?" Han Shaokun seemed to notice something, and turned his head to look at her, his eyes were gentle and clear, as clear as a lake.
He's so gentle with anyone, Thorn thought.
"Young Master, as you expected, Xia Yuqian is indeed there, and she seems to have made up her mind to compete for the Divine Mansion......" Thorn Flower said helplessly.
"It doesn't matter, she has the right to choose. Han Shaokun smiled and comforted instead.
"But you were so good to her, and she took refuge in the enemy......"
"Thorn Flower," Han Shaokun interrupted her and stepped forward, but her eyes were still gentle, "Xiaoqian didn't do anything wrong, her own life should have been chosen by herself." Besides, it is the Xuanwu Ling Mansion that is the enemy of the Silver Bun Sect and the Divine Mansion, not us, and we just need to treat them with respect.
"I think you have the best relationship with Xiaoqian on weekdays, so I bothered you to make a trip, it's hard. ”
"It's okay, young master, I'm also worried about Xiaoqian's ......" Thorn Flower looked up and saw the smile on his face, and the original upset and displeasure were instantly swept away.
"Don't worry, when the ring is over, I'll enlighten her personally. He said with a smile, his teeth were as white as snow, and his voice was very good, like a spring breeze blowing through the heart of a thorn flower.
If only I could stay by his side forever, Thorn thought to him, even if it was just to watch him from afar and listen to him......
Han Yuluo came to the backyard and stretched, he liked to come out in the evening to practice with the evening breeze, and when he was tired, he sat on the big stone in the backyard and polished his weapons to a crisp.
But when he practiced tonight, his mood was extremely chaotic, and Xia Yuqian's face always appeared in front of him. He recalled that night, when she lowered her head and was cramped and uneasy, as if she had resigned herself to her fate, giving up the struggle and giving up the resistance.
I don't know why, when I think of her, Han Yuluo is distressed and angry, angry why didn't she make any explanation, and angry that she was angry at her inexplicably......
Thinking of this, the speed at which he wiped the knife suddenly increased to vent.
"Your silver scimitar looks good!" Suddenly a voice sounded from behind him, he turned his head sharply, and Wei Muxun was standing behind him, dressed in a dark blue power suit, with a black wing four-edged long wedge pinned to his waist.
"Brother Muxun!" Han Yuluo jumped down from the stone excitedly and ran in front of Wei Muxun.
"Yu Luo, I haven't seen you for two years, but your kid has grown a lot taller, it seems that the food in Hongfang is really good!" Wei Muxun also patted him on the shoulder happily and said.
"Hehe," Han Yuluo scratched his head embarrassedly, "Brother Muxun, I heard that you are going to represent the Makulong Mansion in the ring this year! Come on, I'm optimistic about you! You must come back with the first place!"
"Haha! Okay! It's rare for someone to bet on me for first place!" Wei Muxun laughed heartily.
"How do you say this?" Han Yuluo asked a little strangely, "You are the trump card of the Shogunate Dragon Mansion this year, and your master, eldest brother, is still the first in the martial arts list, in my opinion, you are bound to win the first position in this ring competition!"
"I just want to go all out and live up to myself!" Wei Muxun sat on the big rock and looked up at the sky, "This year's ring match is quite exciting, the four major families all have people in the competition, and now everyone is betting on Xuanwu Ling Fengchen and Shenyu Xuan, I really want to meet those two boys!" he said with a very expectant smile.
"Hmph! Xuanwu Ling Mansion and Yinmao Sect will definitely do their tricks in secret every time they participate in the ring competition, it's really boring to compare with these people!" Han Yuluo said disdainfully.
"Haha! Little Brother Yu Luo is still so straight!" Wei Muxun said with a smile, "But the top ten people in each ring competition are from all the famous families in the Xuan Realm, and I am looking forward to whether this year will be different and kill a dark horse!"
Han Yuluo didn't speak, and at this time, a light rain began to fall in the sky again.
"The ghost weather in Tianhuang City really hasn't changed at all," Wei Muxun complained as he stretched out his hand to wrap his arms around Han Yuluo's neck, "Let's go! It's raining!"
Han Yuluo raised his head and looked at the drizzle in the sky for a long time before turning around and walking back......
