12. Camouflage (II)
Now that the decision has been made, everyone immediately begins to implement it, and the first thing is, of course, how to solve the lunch at this noon time. Although Nangong Piao felt that there was no leisure time to think about this kind of problem in such an extraordinary period, he was rejected by Zhang Longqian on the grounds that "the more critical the time, the more important it is to cultivate the spirit". Considering that Nangong Piao and Cang Yan were going back to get their robes, and their residence was relatively close to here, everyone finally decided to buy some food and go to their residence.
After Zhang Longqian made a phone call to his father and said that he was playing outside with his friends, and asked Bai Lu and Zhou Miao to testify, a group of five people rushed to Cang Yan and Nangong Piao's residence with a bunch of takeaways, and then Nangong Piao went into the house to rummage through the robes of the two, and the other four people took the lead in eating unceremoniously in the living room.
By the time Nangong Piao came out with his robe, everyone had already eaten almost enough, and he fully expressed the reason why he had spent so much time:
In addition to holding a set of red and black clothes in his hand, Nangong Piao was also wearing a set of clothes that were different from before.
Wearing a pine and cypress green straight deep coat inside, a blue coat outside, a dark green palace silk around the waist, and Nangong Piao's delicate face, he doesn't look like a Taoist mage, but has a strong scholarly atmosphere.
――But from a distance, it looks like a bamboo with a wonderful sense of green.
Bai Lu immediately covered his mouth and looked like he was trying to hold back a smile, and Zhang Longqian, who was drinking water, almost squirted out: "...... Nangong, what are you? When I don't know the robe? And the one in your hand," she said as she turned her gaze to the red and black clothes folded in Nangong Piao's hand, "This color is not right at first glance, right?" Aren't all robes blue? ”
Nangong Piao smiled embarrassedly: "That...... The Taoist robe is the uniform of the 'Taoist' branch, so in fact, ours cannot be regarded as a Taoist robe, but just the family clothing of the Taoist family. ”
"'Family costumes'?"
Repeating these words gently, Zhang Longqian immediately forgot to pursue the matter of the robe, she just looked at the set of clothes that obviously belonged to Cang Yan in Nangong Piao's hand: "So, that is the family costume of the Cang family?" ”
"Well, the Cang family is one of the top five families in the Dao Law Realm, and they are especially good at fire spells, so the family clothes are mainly red."
While speaking, Nangong Piao handed over the set of clothes to Cang Yan, who immediately walked into his room without the slightest hesitation, and when the door closed, Zhang Longqian made a slight but incomprehensible sound.
"Isn't Cang Yan already unrelated to the Cang family? Why did he wear that kind of family attire? ”
Zhang Longqian clearly remembered that when he saw Cang Yan's memory in the illusion, he was only nine years old and was expelled from the Cang family because of the ridiculous reason of "too weak"! Why does he still wear that kind of family clothes?
As soon as these words came out, everyone was stunned, and the straightforward Bai Lu subconsciously responded.
"What are you talking about? He has always been the third son of the Cang family! Isn't it natural to wear family clothes? ”
Looking at Bai Lu, seeing that her face was full of reason and incomprehension of Zhang Longqian's words, this time, Zhang Longqian was stunned.
has always been the third son of the Cang family? So what did she see? Isn't that Cang Yan's memory?
Not understanding what went wrong, Zhang Longqian turned his head to look at Nangong Piao, who had been with Cang Yan: "Nangong, let me ask you, has Cang Yan stayed in the Cang family all the time?" ”
Hearing this, Nangong Piao's face changed slightly, but he immediately showed his usual smile, as if the change just now was fake: "What are you talking about, of course is it, isn't it?" As the third son of the Cang family, how could he leave the Cang family? ”
That kind of expression change may have deceived Bai Lu, but it was absolutely impossible to hide it from Zhang Longqian, and she immediately had a denial in her heart.
No, Nangong Piao is lying, Cang Yan must have left the Cang family, and the memories he saw were not wrong.
While this certainty is confirmed, doubts also arise.
If there is nothing wrong with seeing the memory, then why? Why is Cang Yan still staying in that family at this moment? Could it be ...... Isn't the so-called "expulsion" actually what it seems? Is that just a time-limited punishment?
The more he thought about it, the more Zhang Longqian felt that this was the case.
Because, how can there really be parents in the world who are willing to be separated from their children who are only nine years old, and watch their weak children who have lost the protection of their families live away from home alone?
There can be no such parents, and there can be no such ruthless family.
Maybe that "Cang family" is really just like what Cang Yan said at that time, it was to make him stronger and temporarily let him leave the family, so it seems that it is just a family that is more strict with children, and it is not as ruthless as imagined.
Thinking about Zhang Longqian, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief: "It turned out that I was worried about it in vain......
Looking at Zhang Longqian, who was relaxed, Bai Lu felt confused, Zhou Miao didn't seem to know what she was thinking, and Nangong Piao, who was sitting down and eating silently, lost his smile, and looked at Zhang Longqian's eyes with a trace of complexity that was completely different from the pure in the past.
It seems to be worried about something.
At this time, Cang Yan opened the door and walked back, immediately attracting everyone's attention.
The clothes on Cang Yan's body are exactly the same as Nangong Piao's, except that the straight skirt of pine and cypress green has turned red, the outer big coat is red with black in the middle, and the belt is calm blue-black-that is, the color that the word "cang" has meant since ancient times.
For boys, the slightly bright color matching is so appropriate for Cang Yan, just like his name, the pale flame, black and red, without the heat of the flame, but exudes a cold loneliness.
Bai Lu almost subconsciously let out a sigh of trying to suppress it.
"Wow...... is obviously such a terrible person, he can be so handsome that he drops scum! ”
Looking at Cang Yan the same way, Zhang Longqian agreed with Bai Lu's taste in her heart for the first time, but she still didn't understand why Bai Lu felt that Cang Yan was terrible, after all, in her opinion, Cang Yan was just a little more silent and expressionless, in essence, he was still a calm, keen and gentle person, and he had nothing to do with the word "terrible" at all!
But thinking so, Zhang Longqian wouldn't really say it.
Because, in that case, you will definitely be regarded as a nymphomaniac.
Seeing that Cang Yan had also changed his clothes, Nangong Piao put down what he was eating, looked at Zhou Miao and Bai Lu and said, "Classmate Zhou Miao, classmate Bai Lu, don't you change your family clothes or something?" ”
"I'm not from a family, I don't have that kind of thing." Answering indifferently, Zhou Miao didn't look at Nangong Piao, nor did he look at Cang Yan, who was sitting directly in the corner of the sofa.
Seeing Nangong Piao's gaze shift, Bai Lu calmly spread his hands: "I'm right, but who would take it with you wherever you go?" Besides, what age is it now, who will have nothing to do when they go out on a mission and wear family clothes? Only people like Long Qian, who are not familiar with the situation, think that wearing a robe or something like that will look more like a mage! ”
Hearing Bai Lu's obviously disdainful voice, not only Nangong was stunned for a moment, but Zhang Longqian couldn't help but feel embarrassed, she gently pinched Bai Lu's shoulder, and whispered: "Since you know that I am not familiar with the situation, why don't you stop me?" ”
Turning his head to look at Zhang Longqian, Bai Lu immediately changed to an innocent face: "Long Qian, don't be angry!" Because I didn't think it would be a loss to you, so I didn't stop you, and ......" She turned her eyes back to look at Nangong Piao, and the smile on her face couldn't be held back any longer, "I heard that the family clothes of the Nangong family are extremely curious and all green, so I especially wanted to see it, but I didn't expect that someone could really wear this kind of funny feeling, it really looks like bamboo hahahaha!" ”
Bai Lu seemed to have completely forgotten how urgent the situation was now, and pointed at Nangong Piao, who was about to burst into tears, clearly saying that she was not for any "seeing" at all, but simply to laugh at Nangong Piao and not stop Zhang Longqian.
I really don't know what kind of grudge Nangong Piao has against her, so that she has been targeting him like this.
