Chapter 35: The Showdown

Since Mei Qi returned to the ear room from the secret palace, she has not seen Shen Lian again for a whole day and night, and after tonight, tomorrow will be the martial arts conference.

According to the usual practice, there is a big banquet set up in the Zichen Hall tonight, and Shen Lian has to personally entertain the heroes from all walks of life who come from afar, but the banquet has not yet started after the established hour, because Shen Lian, who is the head of the Lianshan faction, is nowhere to be found!

Looking at the empty main seat directly above the main hall, everyone at the table was inevitably unhappy, the Metropolitan Lianshan Sect was the Martial Arts Holy Sect, but they didn't know that Shen Lian had only been the head of the Lianshan Sect for two years, and he had already begun to put on a score before he sat in this position, I was afraid that he would look down on them as a "small sect"!

"Elder Lords, why hasn't Shen Lian Shen shown up yet, what is the purpose of hanging everyone in Zichen Palace?" During the banquet, someone sent a challenge to Lianshan.

Someone chimed in, "Yes, there has never been such a situation when Shen Kuo Shen was alive before, and now the Lianshan Sect is becoming more and more unpopular." ”

For a while, the hall that was originally full of laughter and laughter was filled with voices of dissatisfaction, ridicule and even resentment.

The faces of the five elders sitting on both sides of the main seat were already a little ugly, but in order to take care of the overall situation, in addition to covering up for Shen Lian and appeasing everyone, they had to privately send many disciples to find him, but unfortunately they found nothing, and Shen Lian seemed to have evaporated from the world.

Bai Xianxian, who was sitting at the head of the elders, was silent, with a faint smile, and no one knew what the reason for that smile was.

Yuan Qing came to the ear room to tell Mei Qi what was going on in the Zichen Palace, and lamented that the five elders were already angry, and if the head of the sect did not appear again, the Lianshan faction would definitely be criticized by the world.

Mei Qi laughed at him, the head of the house, he is not a Huangkou child, he can still get lost, this Lianshan faction is his territory, he doesn't want to appear, who can let him show up?

In fact, she was also looking for him, and she waited for him for a whole day, just to take a leave of absence from him.

Yuan Qing saw her packing up her burden on the bed and planning to leave, so he hurriedly pulled her burden and asked in a puzzled tone: "The head is missing, Xiaoqi girl, aren't you in a hurry, you are still packing your baggage, where are you going?" ”

"I have an urgent business, I have to leave for a while, and I will come back when I am done." Mei Qi pulled back the burden.

Who knew that Yuan Qing snatched her burden, and the person rushed out of the door.

While running, he turned back and shouted to her: "The head is not here, I won't let you leave, Little Seventh Girl!" ”

After a while, even the shadow was gone.

"Hey, Yuanqing!" Mei Qi chased out of the door, and she was even more helpless, she was in a hurry to save her life. I want to use light skills to catch up with Yuan Qing.

"You're leaving?" A low, magnetic voice sounded behind Mei Qi.

Master? He showed up?

Mei Qi turned around and saw the head of the house who had not been seen for a day, and the eyes that were as bright as stars in the past were a little lonely and haggard against the backdrop of the dark night.

"The slave maid plans to go back to Lingyun Town, and she has something to do.......

"Come with me after drinking." As soon as his voice fell, he hooked Mei Qi's thin waist, and in the blink of an eye, he took her to the edge of a cliff in Nine Lotus Mountain.

The two of them were lying on the sparse grass beside the cliff, Shen Lian was drinking wine in one hand and pillowed his head in the other, looking at the vast and bright night sky with his eyes.

"Master, aren't you going to Zichen Palace? It seems to be looking for you. At this time, the bodies of the two were close together, and Mei Qi could smell the faint smell of ambergris on Shen Lian's body.

"If I say that there are people in the Zichen Hall who are plotting to kill me, do you think I should go?" Shen Lian whispered in Mei Qi's ear, with a bit of charm.

It's obviously a matter of life and death, why does it come out of his mouth to tease and tease?

And he even said that I, not Ben?

The warm breath scorched Mei Qi's ears, and she seemed to stutter: "That, that, don't go." ”

"Oh? Can I understand that you don't want me to die, little seventh girl? Shen Lian's voice was low, like a lover's whisper.

But as he spoke, he put down the wine jug and took out a dagger from his waist and stuffed it into Mei Qi's hand, "But if the little seventh girl wants my life, I am willing to give it, and the peony flower will die, and it will be romantic to be a ghost." ”

Mei Qi was shocked, did this Shen Lian take the wrong medicine?

Or did he know something?

She looked at him with a smile, but with a lingering sad eye, she raised the dagger in her hand and threw it out, "The boss said it was funny, the joke told by the head was so funny......"

"Hahaha......" Shen Lian suddenly laughed, "It's indeed a joke." ”

"Hehehe......" Mei Qi had nothing to say, and could only laugh awkwardly.

"But, Qi'er, what I said is also from my heart." Zhao You smiled, and then cast his gaze to the stars in the night sky, he didn't dare to look at Mei Qi's expression.

He thought about it all night, and in order not to torture himself anymore, he decided to have a showdown with Mei Qi, but Mei Qi was not as shocked or angry as he expected when he heard the word "Qi'er".

She only asked lightly: "Zhao Youyi, do you have something unspeakable?" ”

This time Zhao You was stunned, when did Qi'er recognize him?

He sat up from the grass and looked down at Mei Qi who was lying down, his eyes revealing a complex look that was both moved and sad, "Qi'er, when will you ......?"

"You want to know when I recognized it?" Mei Qi also sat up from the ground.

There was a sly look in her eyes, "Then I have to think about it, when someone desperately rang the bell to prevent me from sleeping well, or when someone asked me to serve in the bath, or when someone forced me to be a concubine.......

Zhao You's heart was churning, it turned out that his Qi'er had already recognized him, and he thought that he was hiding it well, he was stupid!

"Qi'er, don't think about unpleasant things anymore!" He felt even more depressed, how childish and funny the things he did should seem to Qi'er!

He lay down, picked up the flask, and drank again. Since Qi'er knew that he was Zhao Youyi, why did he have to admit to killing him?

Maybe between him and Mei Yi, she chose Mei Yi.

Mei Qi looked at Zhao Youyi, who was only interested in drinking, and felt that he had something in his heart, he used to be energetic every day, but now he is decadent and depressed.

"Zhao Youyi, did you encounter something?"

"Qi'er, don't you drink?" Zhao You handed Mei Qiyi a pot of wine.

Mei Qi took a big gulp of wine, but the more she looked at Zhao Youyi's mask, the more she felt that it was an eyesore, so she leaned over Zhao You and grabbed the mask on Zhao You's face vigorously, Zhao You didn't stop her.

After a while, a handsome face appeared in front of Mei Qi's eyes, she was finally satisfied, gently rubbed the warm and delicate face, and then leaned over and kissed Zhao You's face in a daze.

Then both froze.

She thought: She actually kissed him? Must have drunk too much!

He thought: He was actually kissed by her? She must have been emotionally attracted to him!
