When Tiannu Xi was about to follow helplessly, she suddenly heard a clean and clear voice behind her stop her.

"Girl, wait a minute. ”

The Heavenly Maiden Xi stopped and looked back, and saw a man dressed in light blue trotting towards her, with a delicate face and a bamboo basket behind him.

This person was the strange scholar that Duan Jiu had noticed.

Tiannu Xi raised her eyebrows and asked suspiciously, "Is Gongzi calling me?"

The man panted and stopped in front of Tiannu Xi and said with a smile: "Yes, my name is the girl." ”

Heavenly Maiden Xi asked, "Who are you?"

The scholar straightened up and said, "My name is Lin Yuan, I don't know the girl's surname Fang?"

When Tiannu Xi heard it, Lin Yuan had never heard of it. She turned around and said, "No need. ”

The scholar who claimed to be Lin Yuan was a little depressed, and hurriedly followed Tiannu Xi and chanted alone: "Dance ecstasy, hook people, and have a hundred beautiful students when you smile." Tiandu City, White Night Tower, this woman should only be in heaven. ”

Heavenly Maiden Xi understood what Lin Yuan meant by this, which showed that he actually knew himself, but he didn't say it before, since I have already told you my name, and I know your name, we can be regarded as knowing each other, why not make friends?

Tiannu Xi did not be as surprised and resistant as Duan Jiu when she said her name this time, but seemed calm and calm, as if "I knew you knew my name", as expected, as if nothing happened.

This is her mood, and the way she wants to flirt with a man depends on her joys, sorrows, and sorrows.

She turned around slowly and asked, "Oh, Lin Gongzi used to know me, seeing that you are a decent man and gentleman, I don't want to be a person who loves to spend time and drink." ”

Lin Yuan smiled and said, "The girl misunderstood, I didn't know you in the White Night Tower, and the girl's reputation will spread outside the Tiandu City again." The pair I chanted just now is what people are widely saying about you, girl. The moment I saw the girl open the silk scarf today, it was as if I saw the "smile and have a hundred charms" in the pair, so I guessed that you are the most famous goddess in the White Night Building. ”

Heavenly Maiden Xi walked into the forest plain slightly, looked the forest plain up and down, and said coldly: "Aren't you afraid of death?"

Lin Yuan listened to Nuxi's threatening words on this day, not only was he not afraid, but he felt funny, and said calmly: "What am I afraid of? If the girl wants to kill me, I'll stretch my neck for you. ”

Tiannu Xi chuckled, she also thought Lin Yuan's words were funny, the men in the world are so flamboyant and coaxing girls, saying that they are not afraid of life and death for love, but in fact, they are just some bad seeds who fly separately when disaster comes.

Heavenly Maiden Xi said: "Oh, yes, how about Lin Gongzi hand over your pen to me?"

Lin Yuan smiled, and really put down the bamboo basket behind him, took out the pen from it and obediently offered it to Tiannu Xi's hands, and said: "It's better for the girl to kill me with a pen, this is the pen I love most in my life." ”。

Tiannu Xi didn't listen to his rhetoric, took the pen in her hand, and saw that this was inferior to ordinary pens, the bamboo was already old and peeling, and the bristles were sparse, which looked very shabby. However, these have nothing to do with Tiannuxi, as long as the pen can be inserted into Lin Yuan's artery, it is enough.

"Then Lin Gongzi, I will fulfill you. Tiannu Xi said softly.

Lin Yuan silently closed his eyes, raised his head lightly, and smiled, "Please, girl." ”

Hum. Heavenly Maiden Xi chuckled disdainfully, as soon as she shot the pen out of her fingertips at this time, she could pass the pen directly through the neck of this forest plain, causing its blood to spurt out like a spring, and of course she would die.

Heavenly Maiden Xi hesitated for a second, this second she hesitated for the passing crowd, and the next second she would use the fastest speed to take Lin Yuan's life.

"Huh?"

Heavenly Maiden Xi raised her head slightly, Duan Jiu was standing in front of her at this time, his face was cold, and his hand was blocking the pen in Heavenly Maiden Xi's hand.

"Duan Gongzi?" said Heavenly Maiden Xi.

"He's my friend. Duan Jiu said lightly.

"Friend?" Heavenly Maiden Xi heard the word "friend" from Duan Jiu's mouth, which was even more unbelievable than hearing that the sky was about to collapse, the sea was going to dry up, and the earth was going to collapse.

Lin Yuan slowly opened his eyes, with a puzzled expression, but soon, the doubt turned into surprise, he suddenly hugged Duan Jiu, and said excitedly: "It's you, Xiao Heng?"

"Well, Brother Lin. Duan Jiu responded.

"Xiao Heng?" Heavenly Maiden Xi was puzzled, but Duan Jiu and the others didn't seem to have the extra heart to explain to her.

Lin Yuan patted Duan Jiu on the back, then let go of each other, he looked Duan Jiu up and down, and said in surprise: "You are taller and more handsome than five years ago." ”

Duan Jiu smiled: "Yes. ”

Duan Jiu also looked at Lin Yuan, still unable to believe it: "But, Brother Lin, you have simply changed your face. ”

Lin Yuan touched his face, a little helpless, and said, "I did change my face, this face is not mine." ”

When Duan Jiu heard this, his heart was full of surprise and puzzlement, when he met Lin Yuan in the noodle shop just now, he couldn't recognize it, this face was almost the same as the Lin Yuan he knew five years ago. The only thing that remains unchanged is that he is still the one who loves calligraphy and painting, if it weren't for the fact that Duan Jiu just saw that the pen he handed over to Tiannu Xi was the same as five years ago, and heard him call himself Lin Yuan, he would never dare to admit that this was the Lin Yuan he met five years ago.

"What's going on?" Duan Jiu asked.

Lin Yuan smiled, picked up the bamboo basket that had just been unloaded, and said, "Let's go somewhere and sit and talk." ”

Duan Jiu felt that this was very good, took back the pen from Heavenly Maiden Xi's hand, handed it back to Lin Yuan, and said, "Brother Lin, you lead the way." ”

Lin Yuan took back the pen, his eyes were full of cherishment, he looked up at Tiannu Xi again, and asked tentatively, "Xiao Heng, what is the relationship between you and Miss Xi?"

Duan Jiuyi was indeed difficult to find a suitable word to describe the relationship between him and Tiannu Xi. Friend? Enemy? But it's not right?

"I'm her woman. Just as Duan Jiu was still thinking about what words to use, Heavenly Maiden Xi actually answered first, and this answer was obviously the most difficult thing for Duan Jiu.

"Ahh Lin Yuan was taken aback, then lost and frustrated, he threw the pen into the bamboo basket with his backhand, walked for a while with his head down, and suddenly looked up and asked Duan Jiudao: "Xiao Heng, is this true? It is rumored that the girl Xi who is like a heavenly maiden in the White Night Tower has been ransomed, and that person is you?"

Duan Jiu never lied, so he subconsciously responded, "No." ”

Heavenly Maiden Xi knew that even if Duan Jiu told a lie to make her happy, she would not be able to do it, so naturally she didn't expect him to admit this relationship, and immediately expressed her attitude with wishful thinking: "But my heart belongs to Duan Gongzi." ”

"Hmph, brother, you're a bastard!" Ling'er listened to the conversation between the three of them, and her waist tightened angrily, looking at Duan Jiu with disdain.

Although Duan Jiu had already rejected Ling Jianxian's marriage to Ling Xueqing, he didn't know why Ling'er loved Ling Xueqing very much, and only recognized Ling Xueqing as her "sister-in-law" in her heart. She was really disdainful of Duan Jiu's kind of embrace in the face of other women, looking like she wanted to refuse and give up, she had never seen her brother be so vague in stating his position.

Duan Jiu was not distressed? He knew that his lukewarm attitude was really letting down a woman's enthusiasm. It's just that every time he wants to reject this relationship, he doesn't seem to be able to be tough. Maybe he has unconsciously fallen in love with Tiannu Xi, but he doesn't know it yet.

This kind of unconsciousness made Duan Jiu embarrassed.

Lin Yuan suddenly heard a little girl's voice, only to find that there was a seven or eight-year-old little sister standing next to Tiannu Xi at some point, and he was surprised: "Xiao Heng, you still have a sister?"

Duan Jiu replied: "Yes, this is the sister I recognized three years ago, called Ling'er. ”

Lin Yuan nodded "oh" and said, "It seems that in the past five years, Xiao Jiu, a lot of things have happened to you." ”

Duan Jiu said indifferently: "That's true. ”

While the two were talking, they had already arrived at the place where Lin Yuan was going, he pointed to a rather simple tavern in front of him, and said, "That's it, let's go there to talk, there is a separate room to eat and drink tea." ”

Duan Jiu and the three of them followed him into the tavern, chartered a room for eating and drinking, and the four of them sat around the round table and ordered six dishes and three pots of wine.

The dish was not served, the wine was poured quickly, Lin Yuan divided the wine glass with Duan Jiu and Tiannu Xi, looked at Ling'er and said with a smile: "Sister Ling'er, you don't want to eat wine." ”

Ling'er replied simply: "Hmm." ”

Lin Yuan poured wine for Duan Jiu and himself again, raised his glass and said, "I'm thirsty, I'll make a drink first." ”

Duan Jiu returned, and the two of them raised their glasses and dried them up, but the Heavenly Maiden Xi sat dry, without the intention of eating wine, Lin Yuan put down the wine glass, and wondered: "Why doesn't Miss Xi drink?"

Tiannu Xi replied, "You men love to drink, but I don't like to drink. What's more, if all three of us are drunk, don't we want Ling'er to take care of us?"

Lin Yuan smiled: "It's still Miss Xi's thoughtfulness. ”

Duan Jiu and Lin Yuan exchanged greetings again, and the six dishes were all filled one after another, but the wine was almost finished, so Lin Yuan ordered six more pots of wine.

"Ah, speaking of my face, there are still a lot of foods to avoid now. Lin Yuan looked at the table full of food, but he couldn't eat.

Duan Jiu asked, "What's the matter with your face?"

Lin Yuan reluctantly put down his chopsticks, took a sip of wine, and said, "Xiao Heng has ever heard of the Thousand-Faced Girl-Sikong Xing?"

"Sikong Xing, the first person to be rumored to be the first person to cultivate the disguise technique. The skill of disguise is exquisite, and it can transform the faces of all living beings in the world, and reach the point of being fake and real. Whenever someone meets her, they don't know she's around. No one in the world knows its true face, it can be described as a thousand faces, and it is impossible to distinguish between truth and falsehood. Duan Jiu replied.

"Xiao Heng, you are also well-informed, yes, that's right. This thousand-faced female Sikong Nettle's disguise technique can be said to have reached the pinnacle. But her most powerful thing is actually not disguise. Lin Yuan said.

"Isn't it a disguise technique?" Duan Jiu was puzzled.

"Yes, that's her most powerful, least known technique, and this technique can be said that no other person in the world can do it. This technique is-" Lin Yuan is indeed a scholar, and he speaks like a storyteller in a teahouse, raising and suppressing, and when it comes to the point, he deliberately sells Guanzi, and he has to wait for Duan Jiusan to show impatient looks on his face before he slowly replied-

"Face swapping. ”
