Chapter 34: On the eve of the competition
Qiao Ru'an's small courtyard is located in the lotus garden near the head of Qiao's family. Qiao Hong fenced off the Lotus Garden because of Qiao Ru'an's qualifications, and the only entrance to the Lotus Garden was Qiao Hong's courtyard and the large arch of the Lotus Garden.
The Lotus Garden, as the name suggests, is full of all kinds of lotus flowers, including Ancient Lotus, Tang Wan, East Lake White Lotus, and East Lake Red Lotus....... There are no less than 100 varieties of lotus flowers. If it weren't for the fact that she also loved lotus in her previous life, she wouldn't have been able to distinguish so many lotus flowers. The lotus flowers in this garden also need to start from the original owner, the more the original owner grows up the more he loves the lotus, and the yard is also planted with more and more lotus flowers of all kinds, and over time, a lotus garden full of lotus flowers will come out.
I couldn't take a good look at the courtyard last night to enjoy the flowers, but when I looked at it today, Qiao Ru'an only felt that his nose was full of incense and he was refreshed.
At this time, on the gazebo of the lotus garden, Qiao Hong sat in the middle of the lotus flowers in full bloom, sighing. Qiao Ruan looked at his grandfather with a smile, it was really a waste to be accompanied by so many delicate flowers and have a sad face.
She reached out and poured another cup of hot tea and handed it to her grandfather: "Grandpa, drink tea, lower the fire." ”
Qiao Hong glanced at her angrily, but in the end he still picked up the teacup and took a sip: "How to lower the fire? You can't let grandpa save a snack." ”
Qiao Hong thought about the news from King Yi's Mansion in the morning, and he was restless no matter how he sat down.
"An'er, since King Yi has accepted your challenge. When the time comes, you can directly admit defeat, everyone knows that you can't cultivate, you just need to admit defeat......"
Qiao Ru'an turned his head and held his forehead speechlessly. For half a day, grandpa said that it was still this sentence, this requirement, and this thinking determination. She can recite it now without listening to her grandfather.
"Grandpa, you have to believe in your granddaughter, how can you keep turning your arms out?" Thinking of the man who broke into the boudoir last night, Qiao Ruan hesitated. Now do you want to tell grandpa that she can cultivate?
No, no, no! If you tell your grandfather, it wouldn't be good if your grandfather was excited and leaked out. Also, last night, that man knew that she could cultivate, would that man confess her?
Qiao Ru'an looked at the pond full of lotus flowers and thought about his thoughts, extremely bored. The more I thought about it, the more entangled it became, and Qiao Ru'an twisted her little fingers......
In her previous life, when she was a red rose, she would also play games and read novels when she was bored. In the novels she had read before, the protagonists had golden fingers after crossing over, and then it was called a happy abusive and vicious family plus ** servants and enemies. For this reason, Qiao Ru'an prepared early, hid his strength and came back, and waited to enjoy the super cool feeling of the person written in the novel.
Is it because these people are too weak and tend to be too peaceful? In the memory she inherited, the original owner was bullied every day, and none of the people who came out of the concubine kept to themselves. At that time, they were doing two things at a time every three days.
Waiting to see a good show, I wanted to try my ability to bear someone, and I was depressed to death. She had long forgotten that she had just come back suddenly because she was expecting too much, how should people act?
"An'er ......" shouted, Qiao Ru'an suddenly came back to his senses, and looked at his grandfather who was blowing his beard and staring with a pair of innocent eyes.
"Grandpa, what's wrong?"
Qiao Hong suddenly looked like a deflated balloon, and the whole person sat down on the chair weakly.
"An'er, are you listening to grandpa?" Qiao Hong was heartbroken, "Your mother entrusted you to grandpa before she died, grandpa worked hard to raise you, taught you to practice martial arts and protected you, you ...... You're so desperate!"
Qiao Hong said as he spoke, looking at the sky excitedly: "Do you just bear it, do you have to ask grandpa to send a white-haired person to a black-haired person?"
Qiao Ru'an: "......"
She looked at her grandfather in surprise and horror, and then looked at Qiao Ye, who was playing with lotus flowers on the side...... Can anyone tell her what rhythm it is?
——
In a blink of an eye, the day of the duel match has finally arrived!
Qiao Ruan held his son in one hand and walked gracefully and calmly towards the central dueling arena of Iwacheng.
The moment the two walked out of the gate of Qiao's mansion, they instantly turned into monkeys being watched. There were even people around who smashed their mother and son with messy things such as eggs and vegetables.
It's just that those things haven't gotten close yet, and they were all shaken away by Qiao Hong who came out later.
Two days ago, in the end, Qiao Ruan secretly told Qiao Hong about her cultivation. It's just that even so, Qiao Hong still doesn't feel at ease and has to come out.
Along the way, they accepted everyone's strange eyes and calmly accepted everyone's mixed words.
The corners of Qiao Ru'an's lips curled high, this was really an unexpected gain. I didn't expect that in this notorious rock city, there were still people who would admire her, and they didn't follow the crowd to stomp on the ground and scold her. These people are so cute.
Qiao Ruan lowered his head and looked at his son with a smile, and asked his son, "Are you afraid, do you hate, are you annoyed?"
Qiao Ru'an protects people, but she also knows that there are some things that should be protected, and some things can be used to guide her. Aunt Chen was selfish and hindered her grandfather's treatment, although Aunt Chen could not be hindered by the climate, she could still throw her out at will and let her lie in bed for ten and a half years. She was very angry when others scolded Qiao Ye for being a "wild seed", but she didn't throw people or hit people, she hoped that her son could withstand these glances. It is impossible for her to stay by her son's side at any time in the future, and such a little setback can just become a stepping stone and help for her son's growth.
Qiao Yebaozi's face bulged, staring at the round grape eyes and humming arrogantly, giving Qiao Ruan a disdainful look and not speaking. Hmph, what's so powerful about that? How can a person with a weak mind be his little night?
Qiao Ruan hooked his lips and smiled, touched his little head with satisfaction, and no longer ignored the eyes and discussions of the people around him, and walked towards the destination with steady steps.
And at this time, there were two people with different minds standing in an inn. The two were in different private rooms, but their eyes were the same as the goal of the crowd, and they all looked at Qiao Ru'an's mother and son.
Long Yichen looked at the confident mother and son below, and smiled dotingly. If it weren't for the reputation of An'er and their mother and son, he really wanted to go down and stand with them and announce to the world that he was on An'er's side, and he supported An'er, unconditionally.
Everyone was not optimistic about An'er, but Long Yichen had reservations. He received a report from the spies that King Yi was only a green-level cultivator, and An'er was also a green-level, and he was still at the peak of the green-level. He was not worried about King Yi's attack, but hoped that An'er could accumulate more combat experience because of this.
But when Long Yichen saw that the spies had found out all the news about King Yi, he always had a feeling of unease.
Yiwang's information is too clean and logical!
With Long Yichen's ability to travel south and north to see people and things, his intuition told him that King Yi was not as simple as it appeared on the surface. It's just that the time is too rushed, and he can't find out more information at once now.
Looking at the figure that was gradually moving away, Long Yichen jumped and quickly left the inn and walked towards the dueling arena.
