Chapter 14: Untouchable Lovers
Nangong was leisurely on the way to Shaolin Temple. I saw that his attitude was calm, neither humble nor arrogant, the light work under his feet was not sloppy at all, he was walking like flying, but his face was not red and he was not panting, is this really the Nangong leisurely who does not love martial arts but only loves literature in other people's mouths?
It is true that he does not like to practice martial arts, but he is a martial arts wizard with excellent muscles and bones. When he was a child, his father was forced to practice various martial arts and mental techniques, and he was forced to practice the swordsmanship of the Nangong family, but he liked to hold a pen rather than a sword. He is not against the practice of martial arts, he is just against fighting and killing in the rivers and lakes. Therefore, in the eyes of others, he is a dou who can't be supported, and everyone feels sorry for Nangong Daxia, who only has such a son, but he can't inherit his mantle.
Nangong leisurely doesn't care what others say, and he doesn't care what kind of person he is in the eyes of others. In this world, he only cared about one person, and that person was today's Epiphany.
He didn't even know how he fell in love with that cold woman. She was committed to Qinglou and had never shown herself outside, and he was also by chance to follow another son of the family to Yixianglou, and he never thought he would meet her at that time, but that encounter made him completely lose his heart and lose his soul.
The woman was in the Qinglou, but she was not contaminated with the slightest smell of fireworks, and she was even cleaner and purer than too many women in the world. She is known as the first beauty, but there is no trace of joy on her face, she is like the Nine Heavens Xuannu in the sky, high up, quietly watching how the men below fight for her, no matter how high the price is, only one person is seen. As a woman in the Qinglou, it makes people feel that she is so unreachable, like a fairy who does not eat fireworks in the world.
In fact, there are not many times he really has contact with her, he goes to Yixianglou, likes to look at her from afar, and sometimes just wants to be closer to her, and he doesn't leave the family alone for a Qinglou woman as rumored by the outside world, nor is he a person who is greedy for beauty as others say.
I remember that time he took all his savings just to see her. That time he succeeded, and he spent all his money. That time, he could be so close to her, so close that he couldn't hear everything around him, only the sound of his own heartbeat. He didn't care what her identity was, in his heart, she was like the lotus flower that came out of the mud and was not stained, so beautiful, as beautiful as the fairy who should not be in the world but in the sky. He just looked at her blankly, not daring to speak, for fear of scaring her if he made a sound. The opportunity to see her was finally obtained, and that time he sat like this, watching her play the piano, but the two did not say a word. As long as he could see her, he was already satisfied.
That night, he sat all night, and that night, her harp sounded all night. The next day, the two separated and returned to their own lives.
In fact, he was lucky that day, the illusion made by Tan Xiang was ineffective against him, and that night, she played the piano all night, until her fingers were numb, and her fingers were painful and bleeding, but he still looked at her so soberly, only her shadow in his eyes, and nothing in the world could enter his eyes. Tan Xiang still hasn't figured out what he likes about himself. But he has always been so persistent, he must go to Yixianglou every day, in order to see her, he doesn't care about his reputation, he doesn't care about the eyes of others, he likes her obstinately, but he never says it.
That Sky Spirit found Nangong Youran, firstly, because Nangong Daxia had a close relationship with Kongliu, Nangong Daxia was killed by a poisonous hand in order not to betray Kongliu, and Nangong Youran wanted to wait for an opportunity to take revenge; The second is because of Nangong Youran's heart for Tan Xiang, this rare true feeling. That day, he finally knew who the person he liked was, although he had always had a hunch that she would not be as simple as it seemed, but he didn't expect her identity to be one of the four messengers of the Empty Valley. At that moment, he himself was a little inferior, because with his strength, he really didn't deserve her, so after agreeing to the ethereal conditions, he fled in a hurry.
He didn't expect Tan Xiang to catch up, that day she was not as soft as in Yixiang Building, the whole person looked heroic, and the light emitted made people dare not look directly. She spoke to him, saying that she was grateful for his help, that she had met him and that she would have the opportunity to repay him again in the future, and that she was very grateful for his affection for her, and that he looked up to her like that. What else she said, he couldn't listen to it anymore, he only knew that she was no longer the epiphany in the Yixiang Building that he liked, and he suddenly felt that she was so far away from him, and he had never seen her clearly. In fact, she didn't need to thank her, even if he didn't know her, he would help Ethereal, because his father once told him that the Nangong family unconditionally obeyed the call of Kongkong Valley, even if his father was gone, he would obey Ethereal's words.
He can only go one step closer to her if he has done a good job of the ethereal confession, he wants to follow Master Huaiyuan, the abbot of Shaolin Temple, to the empty valley, no matter how difficult the road ahead is, he also wants to be closer to her, even if it is just to see her more.
