Chapter Twenty-Seven: The Mystery Party
Li Chen didn't take Xu Hailian's matter too seriously.
For him, it was just a small episode.
A mere woman, with the eyes of his immortal cultivators, how could he put it in his eyes again.
Therefore, Li Chen still cultivated by himself as usual, and went to the dining room to talk and laugh with Ling Xiang and the others as usual.
But on this day, as soon as Li Chen went to the sword washing pool, he found that there was already an acquaintance waiting for him here.
This is an extremely beautiful woman, born with nobility and playfulness, it is Ouyang Tian's granddaughter Ouyang Lan.
Although Li Chen didn't know why this woman came here, he walked over very naturally, and then said with a smile: "Ouyang Lan, your grandfather asked you to please me again?"
"You think beautifully!" Ouyang Lan said hatefully, "I came to my sword washing pool, do I still need your consent!"
"Haha, have you forgotten that now this sword washing pool has been given to me by your grandfather. Li Chen was in a good mood.
Every time he saw this arrogant woman, Li Chen couldn't help but become much more cheerful.
Obviously, such a simple woman, Li Chen really doesn't reject it.
"Don't talk nonsense, I'm here anyway, I want you to take care of it!" Ouyang Lan pouted.
Li Chen shook his head and couldn't help but smile: "Ouyang Lan, since you have something to say, and you don't want to say it directly, you really can't get along with yourself." ”
"Since you asked sincerely, then I will tell you with great compassion!" Ouyang Lan said with smugness in his eyes, "My grandfather said that he would invite you to the Spirit Sword Auction I sent. ”
Li Chen didn't care about this woman's own play, but asked with a little curiosity: "Spirit Sword Auction?"
"That's right!" Ouyang Lan said proudly with a look that I knew you would ask like this, "Spirit swords are very magical swords, they can make our sword cultivators exert greater power. ”
Magical sword?
Li Chen felt a little puzzled.
And the Immortal Venerable in his mind suddenly became interested at this moment, so he sneered at Li Chen: "This so-called spirit sword should be similar to the magic weapon used by our immortal cultivators, boy, you should go and take a look, maybe it can do some good." ”
Li Chen nodded secretly.
Since his arrogant Immortal Venerable Master had spoken, he naturally wanted to take a look at what this so-called Spirit Sword was.
So Li Chen smiled at Ouyang Lan and said, "Ouyang Lan, since you were invited by your grandfather, then I will give him a face, go over and take a look." ”
Ouyang Lan's face was happy, and he nodded with satisfaction and smiled: "When you go tonight, report my Ouyang Lan's name to the people outside and you can enter!"
......
And since Gu Yan'er went to hold Li Chen in public at the Sword Conference, Xue Yunfei became silent again.
This time, it made him more uncomfortable than losing to Li Chen in the martial arts hall.
He is no longer the proud Xue Yunfei of the past, but has only become an ascetic who only knows how to practice hard all day long.
His gaze lost its former vigor and became a contradictory mixture of determination and suspicion.
Xue Yunfei's changes, Zhuang Rong saw all of them, and she no longer felt worried about Xue Yunfei all the time.
On that day, she specially arranged for Xue Yunfei and Gu Yan'er to come to Li Chen, wanting Xue Yunfei to be in the limelight in front of Li Chen.
I don't want to be self-defeating, but now it is even more difficult for Xue Yunfei to be hit.
However, she only watched Xue Yunfei silently after this time, and did not find Xue Yunfei's friend to persuade him again as before.
Zhuang Rong knew that the time had not yet come, and the hurdle in Xue Yunfei's heart could only be overcome by himself.
Finally on this day, Zhuang Rong finally saw some sparkle in Xue Yunfei's gaze again.
Zhuang Rong was secretly pleasantly surprised, she knew that Xue Yunfei had finally thought about it.
So Zhuang Rong summoned Xue Yunfei's friends again and approached Xue Yunfei again, so as to enlighten him again.
Zhuang Rong and Shi Xingzhou and their party came to Xue Yunfei who was silently dancing the sword again.
Xue Yunfei was immersed in his swordsmanship, and he didn't seem to notice anyone else, still concentrating on sword practice.
The crowd didn't care, just watched silently.
Their eyes are bright.
Xue Yunfei at this moment is indeed a little different from the past.
Although his swordsmanship has not changed significantly, his shots are elegant, implying some perseverance.
His plum blossom swordsmanship was still as smooth as before, and even the sound of the sword breaking through the wind had become extremely faint, and it was almost inaudible.
Covering his edge and being restrained, Xue Yunfei has obviously become stronger than before.
Wait until Xue Yunfei finishes dancing a set of swordsmanship. The group of people watching beside him couldn't help but cheer directly.
"Xue Yunfei, you are really still the same Xue Yunfei!" one person exclaimed.
Xue Yunfei was slightly stunned, then put away his saber, and straightened his breath before turning to look at his friends.
Although he didn't expect these people to come to see him, he was not surprised that he was different from the previous days.
"You're here. Xue Yunfei nodded at everyone one by one, and then said calmly.
Shi Xingzhou directly stepped forward and patted Xue Yunfei on the shoulder, and laughed: "Well, Rong Rong asked us to enlighten you again, now it seems that where else do you need enlightenment, you have become Xue Yunfei again!"
Xue Yunfei nodded slightly at Zhuang Rong, and then said calmly: "I'm bothering you, Zhuang Rong." ”
Zhuang Rong was overjoyed, nodded again and again, and said with emotion: "No, I knew that Yunfei would stand up by himself." ”
Then, as if she remembered something, she smiled proudly: "Then Gu Yan'er herself has no vision, Yunfei, you are so good, you will definitely become the first person in our outer gate to become a sword master!"
"Sword Master?" Xue Yunfei said calmly, "In one more year, I will be a Sword Master." ”
Everyone's eyes were all congratulating in unison.
This kind of self-confidence can only be possessed by the real Xue Yunfei.
"Haha, Xue Yunfei, I heard that our sect will hold a secret party tonight, and I don't know exactly what it does, but that party can only be attended by my sect and the family members of the worship. ”
Shi Xingzhou said proudly.
Their group is basically the son of worship, or the daughter of the owner of the outer gate like Zhuang Rong.
They were undoubtedly qualified to attend the secret party.
"Okay, let's go take a look at this party tonight, I think since it's organized by the sect, it will naturally not disappoint us. Xue Yunfei nodded.
Zhuang Rong looked at Shi Xingzhou very gratefully.
The news of this party was revealed by her to Shi Xingzhou.
Xue Yunfei promised to go over now, then she Zhuang Rong would have the opportunity to show her charm in front of Xue Yunfei.
......
That night, Li Chen came to Lingjian Mountain alone according to the agreement with Ouyang Lan.
It was a grandiose-looking attic, brightly lit and laughing, and it was clear that a good party was going on.
Li Chen shook his head, secretly saying that this spirit sword auction is really exquisite, and there are indeed many people who come to participate.
He walked to the guard at the door of the attic, and after reporting Ouyang Lan's name, the guard respectfully invited Li Chen in.
The guard pointed out to Li Chen where there was something to eat in the attic and where to rest before leaving.
Li Chen was slightly surprised, thinking that this Ouyang Lan's name was indeed a little different.
But that's all, Li Chen didn't take it too seriously.
Thinking that the auction would not take place for a while, he walked in the direction that the previous guard had pointed out.
That place, there is good food.
There were people around here who Li Chen didn't know, and they were obviously dressed up.
There are almost no people like Li Chen who come in in ordinary clothes.
Li Chen shook his head, and didn't want to pay attention to others, but found a place alone and tasted the desserts that had been prepared here by himself.
These desserts are indeed good, and Li Chen's mood is also a little relaxed.
However, after staying for less than a moment, Li Chen heard a familiar voice suddenly coming from behind him: "Little uncle~?"
Li Chen's heart warmed slightly, but he didn't expect Gu Yan'er to be there today.
So he turned his head to look and found Gu Yan'er, Xu Hailian and several other women with good faces standing together.
Gu Yan'er looked at Li Chen with a positive expression, and then walked towards Li Chen's side by herself, ignoring the others around her.
Li Chen smiled, then divided some of the desserts in front of him, and then said to Gu Yan'er: "Sister Gu, these desserts are good, you can also try them." ”
Gu Yan'er's face was happy, so she took the dessert very naturally, and then said with a smile: "Little uncle~, I'm not welcome to Yan'er~!"
Li Chen didn't mention the scene at the Sword Conference very interestingly, but Gu Yan'er blinked very playfully.
In her opinion, she took the initiative to hold Li Chen that day, so there is no need to feel ashamed anymore, just face it calmly.
Xu Hailian walked over with a slightly cold face at this moment, and then looked at Li Chen with some inexplicable emotions in her eyes.
After that, she said directly to Gu Yan'er: "Yan'er, why did you come to get close to this Li Chen again?"
Gu Yan'er turned her head and smiled: "Since Uncle Xiao is here~, he must also participate in tonight's auction~, I want to accompany Uncle Xiao~." ”
Xu Hailian shook her head very disdainfully, then looked at Li Chen and sneered: "Just him, his little money is not even enough for the starting price!"
Li Chen looked at this cold woman indifferently, smiled, and then said: "Since you think so, then I have nothing to say, I am here to try these free desserts today." ”
"Uncle Xiao~, these desserts are really good~, Yan'er I like it too~. Gu Yan'er didn't want Li Chen to lose face in front of Xu Hailian, so she laughed again and again.
Li Chen nodded slightly, and didn't want to pay attention to Xu Hailian anymore, but talked and laughed with Gu Yan'er.
Xu Hailian looked at the actions of the two coldly, and it was not good to pull Gu Yan'er away directly, so she had to snort coldly and carefully stare at Li Chen's every move.
......
On the other side, a group of women who had previously accompanied Gu Yan'er and Xu Hailian got together.
They looked at Gu Yan'er in deep surprise.
Among these people, there is naturally Xu Hailian's best friend Xi Siyu, plus several other women with good faces.
They are obviously close in life and cultivation, and even in the outer gate on weekdays, they are basically commensurate with sisters, forming their own small circle.
"I really don't know why Yan'er fell in love with that Li Chen. Xi Siyu looked at the three of them, shook his head and sighed.
"This Li Chen is the little uncle from the outer gate?" said a woman whose face looked more mature than the other women.
Her name is Tian Qiu, and she is the recognized eldest sister in the circle of these sisters.
"Yes, that Li Chen is not the son of worship, and he is not handsome enough, he is not worthy of Yan'er at all. Xi Siyu sneered.
"In that case, then I have to find an opportunity to persuade Yan'er to stop her from being obsessed. Tian Qiu volunteered.
The women nodded their heads one after another.
......
Outside the attic, a beautiful man was slowly coming at the moment.
His sword eyebrows and starry eyes, his face is like a crown of jade, and there is a touch of pride in his demeanor.
This person is the first day of the outer gate, and there is no trace.
"Yan'er, I've finally returned from the military headquarters, are you still thinking about me?" Bai Wuxian smiled calmly at the brightly lit attic.
