Chapter 21: Helping Lu Qi
Since the latter did not deliberately hide his voice, when his words fell, almost all the disciples looked at the two who were about to meet.
At the same time, Lu Qi, who was still hitting the light mask with all his strength a moment ago, also heard the disciple's words at this time, and directly turned his head sideways and looked towards the figure that was slowly walking not far away.
And as the figure got closer and closer, for some reason, Lu Qi actually had a strong expectation in his heart spreading.
In her opinion, although she had indeed hurt him before, with her delicate appearance and others, presumably Duan Chen would definitely choose to help her break the light mask.
Thinking like this in his heart, Lu Qi's eyes that looked at the disciples around him slowly showed a hint of pride. Even in the end, when Duan Chen was only less than three meters away from her, she subconsciously took a step back, as if she was deliberately making room for Duan Chen.
However, what she never expected was that when Duan Chen slowly came to her, the latter walked out in the direction of the gate as if he hadn't seen her existence at all.
"Haha, did you just see Lu Qi's virtue? Do you think that if she is beautiful, all the men in the world must go around her?"
"That's it, even their own senior brothers in the North Courtyard didn't help her, it can be seen that her character is really not very good!" Looking at this unexpected scene in front of him not far away, the disciples from other branches around him all talked loudly.
As everyone discussed, Lu Qi's originally smug face was instantly replaced by a blush, and in her eyes when she looked at Duan Chen's back at this time, a trace of rain and mist slowly emerged.
"Am I really that annoying?"
Looking at the figure that was gradually moving away, listening to the ridicule of the disciples around him, Lu Qi couldn't help but slowly squat down in front of the light mask, and at the same time, buried his already blushing face between his knees, and sobbed in a low voice.
But just as she was sobbing in a low voice, suddenly all the ridicule around her stopped very tacitly, feeling the strangeness around her, Lu Qi couldn't help but raise her head and look at the place where they were.
The next moment, along everyone's gaze, Lu Qi's teary eyes were hazy, and he saw a blurred figure turning back from not far away.
"Get out of the way!"
The figure slowly came to the front of him, and Duan Chen directly said to Lu Qi who was half-squatting on the ground with a cold face. With his words, Lu Qi couldn't help but tremble all over, and then flashed to the side very obediently.
"Bang!"
The moment Lu Qi flashed to the side, with a bang, the light mask that had originally given her a headache was easily shattered by Duan Chen in an instant.
"Chen, Brother Chen's previous affairs, I'm sorry, it was all me back then-" Looking at Duan Chen, who was about to turn around and leave after shattering the light mask, Lu Qi said to the latter with a face full of shame.
"Don't mention the past again, you better hurry up and put away your combat skills!" The moving figure paused slightly, and Duan Chen continued: "The reason why I helped you is just that I don't want outsiders to gossip about our North Courtyard!"
A trace of loneliness and unwillingness flashed in his eyes, and after Lu Qi took the battle skill in his arms, he followed closely behind Duan Chen and walked out towards the gate of the Battle Skill Pavilion.
"Brother Chen, tomorrow, tomorrow I want to ask you to help me guide me on the practice issues, is it okay?" Outside the Battle Skill Pavilion, when Luo Fan, the head of the main courtyard, left, Lu Qi suddenly said to Duan Chen in front of him in front of all the disciples.
For a while, in the face of Lu Qi's inquiry, Duan Chen's face flashed a trace of embarrassment after glancing at the disciples around him who were looking at the two of them. Obviously, he knew very well that if he openly rejected Lu Qi, he was afraid that someone would use this to criticize the North Courtyard.
"Brother Chen, don't get me wrong, I just want to fight for more honors for our North Courtyard, you won't help with this favor, right?"
"Brother Chen, does your promise to accompany Xiao'er tomorrow still counts? As the great genius of Zongbi's first place, you shouldn't do anything to break the trust of others, right?"
Just when the embarrassment on Duan Chen's face became more and more intense, suddenly accompanied by a sound like a silver bell, Ling Xiao's figure suddenly appeared in front of everyone.
"How come, since I promised you, I will definitely fulfill my promise, that Senior Sister Lu is really embarrassed, I'm afraid I won't be able to promise you tomorrow!"
Glancing at Ling Xiao, who was constantly glaring at him, Duan Chen suddenly showed a knowing smile and refused politely towards Lu Qi.
"It doesn't matter, I just asked on a whim, since you have something, let's talk about it later!" Lu Qi said with a smile on his face.
"I'm afraid that Brother Chen won't have a chance to help you guide you in the future, because his future itinerary has been booked by me, Brother Chen, do you say it?" Seeing that Lu Qi still didn't give up, Ling Xiao smiled playfully at Duan Chen.
"Yes, yes or no?" Looking at the girl in front of him who was full of playfulness and cuteness, and even a little domineering, Duan Chen said a little vaguely. Obviously, he wanted to hand over all his future itinerary to the ghost in front of him, and he was also a little hesitant in his heart.
However, just as Duan Chen was thinking about how to answer Ling Xiao's question, he suddenly trembled inexplicably for some reason, because at this time, he could clearly feel that there was a palpitating chill coming behind him.
With a face full of surprise, when Duan Chen turned around, he finally understood why he suddenly felt this way, because behind him, Pang Tao, who was known as the first person of the younger generation of Yunmeng Sect, was staring at Sen Leng's eyes and locking himself in place.
"Alas, little girl, you've got me in a big trouble this time!" Considering Pang Tao's strong strength of the Silver Pill Realm Great Perfection, especially after seeing the hostile look in the latter's eyes, Duan Chen couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
Sure enough, just when Duan Chen was about to urge Ling Xiao to prepare to leave the place of right and wrong quickly, suddenly with the flash of a figure, Pang Tao stopped him with a smile on his face and said: "Senior Brother Duan, I have long heard that you are very talented, if you can afford to be my senior brother, I want to find a chance to communicate with you, I don't know if the senior brother is willing to appreciate his face?"
