Chapter 9: Friends in Beijing (II)
For a moment, all eyes in the hall focused on me, envy, amazement, and more doubt.
Even the wealthy businessman surnamed Lin was surprised, and he couldn't help but say to another young man next to him who also looked like a rich man: "What is the origin of that young man? He was able to kiss Miss Xiao's Fang Ze and let her take the initiative to give her a hug?!"
The young man also shook his head puzzled, "I've never seen this young man, seeing him dressed so plainly, could it be some kind of hidden master?"
"You must know that a while ago, Miss Xiao went to Donghang to enjoy the flowers, and the second son of the Su family knew about it, and spent a lot of money to build a fleet of Qiansheng to greet him, and the whole river was full! The other person took over the conversation and said endlessly.
"It stands to reason that although the Su family is not as powerful as the Xiao family, no family in the entire southeast region dares to argue with him, and the second young master of the Su family is not only bright, but also quite good in cultivation, it is said that he just broke through the spirit master a few days ago, and now he is a spirit master!" "Even if this is the second young master Su, he can't impress Miss Xiao in the slightest, how can this man in front of him be able to capture Miss Xiao's heart?"
Everyone talked about it like this, and I was also helpless, "Okay, okay, let me go, I'm almost out of breath when I'm entangled by you." ”
"No, no, no, it's rare for people to see Brother Ling Lin once, and I'm afraid you'll disappear as soon as I let go. "She continued to play in my arms and hugged her tighter.
This scene shocked everyone even more, they have been to the Xiao Mansion many times, and they have never seen Miss Xiao's gentle appearance. They had never heard of the name Ling Lone, and they must not be from a famous family.
"Anyway, Brother Ling Lone, what are you doing today?" Miss Xiao looked up at me and found that she was a little more charming than when I visited last time, a pair of peach blossom eyes full of spring water, the tip of her delicate nose was small enough to make people want to take a bite, and there was still a little baby fat left on her pink cheeks.
Looking at her like this, I couldn't help but want to quip, "I said I came here to see Xiaoyun, can you believe it or not." ”
After hearing this, a blush appeared on her face, and she whispered: "Brother, you say so, can I still believe it..."
"Master, that's not what you said when you came. A cold voice sounded from behind me, "Oops!" I secretly screamed in my heart, and when I looked back, the temperature in Jun Yao's eyes dropped to freezing, and she was staring at Xiao Yun mercilessly.
"Hey, where are you a little goblin, I'm talking to Brother Ling Lone, what are you talking about?" Thanks to Jun Yao's words, Xiao Yun provoked Xiao Yun, she let go of her hand, and I was able to get out of the "bondage".
Jun Yao was blindsided by her, and she didn't know how to answer for a while, Xiao Yun continued: "Seeing that you still have a bit of a look, what's the matter? You want to rob Brother Ling Lin with me, but there is no door!" I hurriedly took two steps back, and now it was my turn to be depressed, and I wondered why Jun Yao didn't say anything, why was Xiao Yun regarded as an enemy.
Junyao, who was not very good at speaking, was even more speechless now, she looked at me pitifully, her face full of grievances. I'm sorry, Yaoyao, you don't know what to say, and I don't know what to say, master!
Just as Xiao Yun was about to continue to be aggressive, there was a voice in the inner room. "Then this matter will trouble you, Lord Xiao. "Lord Luo's business, Xiao will definitely do it, please rest assured. "A middle-aged man with a lofty spirit was sending a man in light armor out of the house, and the front of the man's breastplate was engraved with a lifelike dragon, which was a pattern that could only be used by high-ranking generals in the military department.
"Dad, someone is bullying me!" Seeing the man, Xiao Yun immediately greeted him.
"Xiao Yun! In front of Lord Luo, you must not be rude, if there is anything to talk about later, I will send it to the Lord first. The man opened his mouth and reproached.
"This is the eldest lady of the Xiao family, and she is really as beautiful as a hibiscus out of the water. When the man surnamed Luo saw Xiao Yun, he couldn't help but praise him.
The head of the Xiao family just wanted to respond politely, but suddenly looked up and saw me, his eyes widened, and then he rubbed his eyes again, shook his head, and then ran quickly to my side, "Ling, Lord Ling, is it really you, Lord Ling?!" Saying that, he gave me a bear hug, and I was speechless again, this father and daughter are really the same, and they all react exactly the same when they see me.
"It's me, there's something I want you to help with, but it's inconvenient?" I asked
"Lord Ling, please, let's talk about something slowly, Xiao Yun! Take out my treasured big green robe and make it for your lordship." With that, he took me by the hand and walked to the back room. Left behind the military lord surnamed Luo and a house of rich businessmen and tycoons, and didn't even say a word to them.
At this time, even the purple-robed nobleman couldn't sit still, he sat up angrily, wanting to say something to the Xiao family master to vent his dissatisfaction, but the Xiao family master didn't give him this opportunity at all, so he pulled me up and went directly into the house.
As soon as I entered the house, he invited me to sit down, the chair was handmade of wisteria and sandalwood, and this chair alone was estimated to be worth the income of an ordinary family for a year. Xiao Yun made the tea and brought it up, but she only made me alone, and saw Junyao sitting on my left side, "Hmph!", and then pushed a chair to sit down on my right, and her body continued to lean this way.
I took a sip of tea, it was fragrant, and it was really top-grade. "Xiaoyun, this tea is not bad. I couldn't help but praise it.
"For Brother Ling Lone, of course it's specially made~" Hearing my compliment, she was even happier, and by the way, she leaned closer to me.
"Xiao Yun! is still so noisy in front of Lord Ling, honest
It's a bit of a lady's show. Xiao Dixun said.
Hearing her father say this, Xiao Yun seemed to have thought of something, and hurriedly made a dignified demeanor, I wanted to laugh when I saw it, but I still held back.
"Then Lord Ling, who is this young lady?" Xiao Di pointed at Jun Yao.
"Her name is Junyao, and it's mine... Apprentice, the matter I asked you for help this time has something to do with her. I replied.
"Oh, Lord Ling, is there anything I need help with? Xiao Di asked.
"Well, I want you to introduce her and me to an academy for training. ”
"That's right, just go to the Star Picking Pavilion with me, so that you can study with Brother Ling Lone!" Xiao Yun's dignified eldest lady only pretended to be a few seconds before immediately turning back into her original form.
Xiao Di glared at her, and then said, "It's not a big problem to go to the Star Picking Pavilion, I know the strength of Lord Ling quite well, there is no pressure to go there, it's just that you're a disciple..."
He is really a smart person, "Star Picking Pavilion" is the best school in the East, whether it is cultivation or learning the art of war and tactics, poetry and etiquette are the best places, but this academy does not recruit ordinary students, they only recruit students with different talents and strong strength, because the finances and materials are sponsored by various famous families, so there are also many "open paths" to enter. With my strength, they can easily get a full score in the admissions test, but Junyao estimates that she doesn't even have the qualifications for the test...
"Yes, you think right, my disciple's cultivation is really not good, and it is estimated that he will not be able to pass the test of the academy at all. I said it truthfully, and Junyao on the side lowered her head a little embarrassed.
"Ah, strength or anything doesn't affect enrollment and study, I'm just afraid that after your disciples enter the school, they will be bullied or something because of their strength, you also know that most of the students in that academy rely on their own strength and power to do nonsense, and many of them have the support of big families behind them, and the school can't do anything about them..."
Alas, I sighed in my heart, and then said, "Lord Xiao" He was shocked when he heard me call me like this, and looked at me with some horror. "Do you remember how I helped you?"
"Remember, of course I remember" Of course he won't forget, that night, I was covered in blood, as if I had crawled out of hell to kill the god!" ”
"That's it. I shrugged my shoulders and changed my tone to a relaxed tone, "It's just adolescent children, are you afraid that you won't be able to cure them with me?"
Seeing that I didn't say anything more, Xiao Di breathed a sigh of relief, "What Lord Ling said is that Xiao Mou's thinking is too shallow, I will write to the trustee to arrange for you to enroll, if you need anything, just mention it." ”
"It's nothing, it's better to arrange the two of us in one class, not too good and not too bad. That's what I ask.
"Dad, then put Brother Ling Lin in my class, I want to be at the same table with him!" Xiao Yun began to make trouble again.
"Xiao Yun, with your talent, you should be in the first few levels of the class. It's not good for us to go there. I hurriedly waved my hand away. Seeing that she was about to shout again, I had to use a stunt and put my hand on her head and gently stroked it.
Seeing me like this, Xiao Yun didn't say anything more, just pouted to express dissatisfaction.
"You can come and play with me if it's okay," I said to comfort her. Xiao Di on the side didn't react, if someone else treated his baby daughter like this, he probably had to pick off other people's skin!
"Then this matter is settled, thank you for your help, Lao Di!" I got up and thanked Xiao Di
"It's okay, it's okay, it's nothing compared to Lord Ling's contribution to the Xiao family. He quickly got up and excused himself.
Speaking of which, "I'm a little strange, because in addition to this noisy eldest lady in the Xiao family, there is also a well-behaved second lady.
"Why didn't you see Ling'er? Aren't she and Xiaoyun often moving together? I asked.
"The academy has been on vacation for the past few days, and Ling'er said that she was in a hurry to cultivate and would not come back. Xiao Yun replied.
"Compared with Xiaoyun, Ling'er still has to worry a lot. ”
I said to Xiao Di half-seriously.
As soon as Xiaoyun came home, the family was restless. Xiao Di also sighed.
"Ah~ Brother Ling Lin said this, it's too much~" "Gotta get it!" I stopped Xiao Yun's words.
Sent me and Jun Yao to the door, and before leaving, Xiao Di suddenly spoke: "Lord Ling, Xiao still has a question, I don't know if I should ask it." ”
"Hmm, but it doesn't hurt to say that. ”
Xiao Di suddenly looked a little nervous, "This apprentice of yours is also a beautiful woman with a beautiful face and moon appearance, and his talent is average compared to you, with your cultivation, I am willing to take her to cultivate, I don't know..."
Hearing his father ask this, Xiao Yun on the side also became nervous.
After thinking about it, I smiled, "Ah, don't worry about it, Junyao is just my apprentice, I was just entrusted by someone to take care of her and take her to cultivate, and there is nothing more to do with it." ”
"Oh oh, it's okay, it's me talking too much. Xiao Di breathed a sigh of relief, probably because of my delusion, I felt that he and Xiao Yun relaxed all of a sudden, and Jun Yao on the side seemed a little disappointed after listening to my answer.
I haven't been in the mortal world for too long, and the human heart really makes me wonder why, thinking of this, I shook my head again.
"Dad, I want to buy new clothes, can you go with me?" Xiao Yun suddenly remembered what she had to do with her father in the first place.
"No, I still have something to do, or not. Xiao Di's eyes rolled, and I realized that something was wrong. "Let Lord Ling take you there!"
"Uh" My body was a little stiff, and I suddenly heard Junyao whisper in my ear: "Master, I also want to buy new clothes, this one on my body is not good-looking." Said cutely shook her head to express her displeasure with the dress.
"You always say that the eyes of other people in the family are not good, Lord Ling's taste can always satisfy you. Xiao Di added, and then smiled wryly at me, with the meaning of "This girl will be handed over to you".
"That's for sure~ Brother Ling Lin thinks it's good, it definitely won't be bad. Without waiting for me to reply, Xiao Yun had already pulled me out the door.
"Well, don't be ugly about the clothes I picked out for you. I laughed.
"No, no, no, if it's really ugly" Xiao Yun tilted her head and thought about it, "I'll strip naked in front of Brother Ling~" and then grinned unscrupulously, revealing two rows of white teeth.
Xiao Di and I couldn't help but glance at each other helplessly, and then we were pulled away by Xiao Yun.
