Chapter 561: Departure
Chapter 561: Departure
"You like me?" Ling Ziyu seemed a little shy, and it took a long time to ask.
Ling Ziyu's question was a bit direct, but unfortunately Lin Xuanzhong had no other answer. "En," nodded, Lin Xuanzhong didn't know what would happen next, he just felt that his every move was not controlled by his will.
"Hehe," Ling Ziyu chuckled, and walked directly in front of Lin Xuanzhong in a few steps, startling Lin Xuanzhong. Then, when Lin Xuanzhong was thinking about what Ling Ziyu was going to do, Ling Ziyu said softly: "Let's go." ”
"Where are you going?"
"Of course I'm going back to eat," Ling Ziyu's original cold temperament no longer exists, and now a smile can make people crazy. Although the current Ling Ziyu makes Lin Xuanzhong feel unaccustomed, as long as Ling Ziyu is happy, Lin Xuanzhong will naturally not be sad.
Next, the two walked outside side by side, and since they didn't know what to say, they would only say a sentence from time to time. After leaving the forbidden land, Lin Xuanzhong naturally asked where Ling Ziyu was going to eat. I didn't say hello to Fang Qing and Ni Youbin when I came just now, if I went to the canteen and happened to be seen by the two of them walking with Ling Ziyu, I was afraid that it would not be good, so Lin Xuanzhong was very concerned about where they were going to eat.
"Go back to where I live," Fortunately, Ling Ziyu's answer finally did not disappoint Lin Xuanzhong, as soon as he thought of going there without worrying about meeting Fang Qing and Ni Youbin, Lin Xuanzhong suddenly felt a lot more relaxed.
On the way to Ling Ziyu's residence, they met some members of the Ling family from time to time, so both of them tried to maintain a normal demeanor. In this way, based on the relationship between Lin Xuanzhong and the apprentice of the Ling family master, there is nothing particularly noticeable about the two walking together.
Nervously came all the way to Ling Ziyu's residence, a small courtyard, Lin Xuanzhong was finally completely relieved, but the strange feeling in the forbidden land just now also disappeared, and only joy remained.
Following Ling Ziyu, Lin Xuanzhong looked around, the courtyard was very small, only two rooms wide, and the place where Ling Ziyu lived was a hall and a wing room connected together. After entering, you can see Ling Ziyu's boudoir at a glance.
Compared with the residence of Ling Ziqing's sisters, Ling Ziyu's residence is not only simple, but also very simple, if it is not always more elegant than Lin Xuanzhong's residence in the Lin family before, Lin Xuanzhong would feel that he has returned to the Lin family's courtyard.
"What do you want to eat?" When Lin Xuanzhong was thinking about the current situation in the Lin family's courtyard because of the situation, Ling Ziyu's voice came faintly.
"I'll eat whatever you eat," Lin Xuanzhong replied without thinking about it.
"Okay, you wait here, I'll go get the food," Ling Ziyu nodded and didn't say much.
"Why do you want to go by yourself?" Looking at Ling Ziyu who turned around and wanted to leave, Lin Xuanzhong couldn't help but wonder.
"Why don't you go?" Ling Ziyu understood that Lin Xuanzhong wanted to ask why he didn't have a maid, but he didn't explain anything, just looked at Lin Xuanzhong quietly with a glance in his eyes.
"Then it's better for you to go!" Thinking that he didn't know what to eat at all, and he was afraid of meeting Fang Qing and Ni Youbin there, Lin Xuanzhong quickly shook his head.
"Boring," Ling Ziyu snorted, and then turned around and left directly, leaving a graceful figure.
After watching Ling Ziyu leave the small courtyard, Lin Xuanzhong retracted his gaze, put the sword on the table, and then watched Ling Ziyu's piano. A few strings can produce so many musical sounds, and when he thinks that Ling Ziyu's music is so good, Lin Xuanzhong can't help but pluck the strings.
Each string movement produces a sound, and each time the dynamics are different, the sound is different. A few random strokes, except for the special sound, I don't think anything is good. I don't know how Ling Ziyu played a tune, and Lin Xuanzhong couldn't think about it.
As he continued to observe, it didn't take long for the carved patterns on the piano seat to attract Lin Xuanzhong's attention, and the more he looked at it, the more he felt that it looked good. Thinking that he could still play a good tune with the piano, Lin Xuanzhong even had the idea of learning the piano. It's a pity that it's one thing for Ling Ziyu to be willing to teach, and it's another thing to have time to learn. Thinking that there was not enough time for cultivation in ordinary times, Lin Xuanzhong simply gave up this idea.
Time passed little by little, and it didn't take long for Lin Xuanzhong to slowly calm down. It is destined to leave tomorrow, and he will not stay with Ling Ziyu for long today, so when Ling Ziyu comes back, Lin Xuanzhong does not plan to say anything to Ling Ziyu.
When Lin Xuanzhong made such a decision, it happened that Ling Ziyu came back with a box of things.
"Do you like the qin?" Lin Xuanzhong didn't notice it when Ling Ziyu came in, his eyes were still staring straight at the Changqin in front of him, with a focused expression.
"En," After being awakened by Ling Ziyu's voice, he turned around and saw that it was Ling Ziyu who came back, and Lin Xuanzhong hurriedly agreed.
"I didn't expect you to be a martial arts idiot and still interested in musical instruments," Putting the box on the table, Ling Ziyu sat down with a smile, in Ling Ziyu's eyes, the temperament that Lin Xuanzhong showed now was no different from ordinary people, and he didn't have the temperament of a martial arts genius at all.
"I just think the tunes you play are good," if you really want to talk about it, Lin Xuanzhong doesn't know anything about the piano tunes, and can only simply appreciate the tunes.
"Since you like to listen to music, I'll play two more tunes for you later," while bringing out the food from the box, he smiled and talked to Lin Xuanzhong, Ling Ziyu himself also did not have the temperament of a young lady.
"Well, let's eat first," he agreed with a smile, and Lin Xuanzhong's attention shifted to the meal.
"I'll still call you Ziyu in the future," and when Ling Ziyu brought out all the food, Lin Xuanzhong added as if he had figured out something.
"Whatever you want," Ling Ziyu agreed lightly, his tone still so calm.
"Ziyu, where is your father?" Remembering that the head of the Ling family had called Ling Ziyu a rebel to his father before, Lin Xuanzhong mustered up the courage to ask.
"Ten years ago, my father ran away from home and never came back, and my mother hasn't lived with me for a long time," Ling Ziyu's calm face showed a hint of sadness, but his tone of voice was indifferent.
"Why did your father run away from home?" out of curiosity, Lin Xuanzhong asked again.
"I don't know, I only heard my grandfather say that it was my father who disobeyed his old man's instructions and refused to be the next patriarch of the Ling family before leaving. ”
"Do you miss your father?"
"I used to think about it, but now I don't think like that, but when I become a seventh-order martial cultivator, I will go out and ask him for an understanding. Ask him why he abandoned my mother, he hasn't come back once in so many years. Ling Ziyu's tone gradually changed from indifference to resentment.
"Ziyu, did I ask a question that shouldn't be asked?"
"It's nothing, anyway, everyone in the Ling family knows these things. Saying that, Ling Ziyu's expression gradually became cold again, so that Lin Xuanzhong couldn't help but have an idea in his heart to protect Ling Ziyu, but unfortunately soon Lin Xuanzhong thought that he was also going to find someone.
Next, the two talked about other things, but they didn't have the feeling of being in the forbidden land before. After that, it wasn't until he was practicing his sword in the courtyard and listening to the sad tune played by Ling Ziyu that the situation changed, but unfortunately there was no intimate behavior between the two of them, as if they both liked each other in their hearts, and only before leaving, Lin Xuanzhong said some tender words.
If you say goodbye today, you may not see Ling Ziyu again for a long time, so Lin Xuanzhong promised Ling Ziyu that he would definitely return to Ling's house if he had the opportunity in the future. Maybe the two of them didn't know what a child's love was, and even the goodbye was very short, the two didn't seem to have too many words, after making a promise to Ling Ziyu that they would return to the Ling family again, Lin Xuanzhong left directly, and returned to his residence in a melancholy mood all the way.
Since there was nothing else to do, and there was nothing to pack, the three of them left the Ling Mansion to make a scabbard for the Dustless Sword while it was still early.
After finding a blacksmith shop, choosing a drawing of a scabbard on a drawing, and paying a deposit, the matter was done. When they set off from Ling's house early tomorrow morning, the three of them would stop by to retrieve the scabbard.
After the scabbard was done, the three of them went directly outside to a tavern for dinner. As soon as they leave tomorrow, the three of them will be separated sooner or later, and now that Lin Xuanzhong has become a general, it is very difficult for Ni Youbin, who is in the infantry camp, to stay with Lin Xuanzhong again, so rushing to the border means that the three of them will be separated, and this meal is also a blessing for the three of them to survive on the battlefield.
After dinner, when they returned to Ling's mansion, it was already dark, so after returning to their residence, the three of them rested separately.
Early the next morning, Lin Xuanzhong called Fang Qing and Ni Youbin up, and went to the canteen to have breakfast together.
Yesterday, Lin Xuanzhong had already mentioned to Fang Qing and Ni Youbin that Ling Zimo and others were coming to join the army, and today Ling Zimo and others came to find them, Fang Qing and Ni Youbin were not surprised.
After breakfast, a group of seven or eight people walked straight towards the outside of the mansion, followed by a large group of people from the Ling family, all of whom had come to see off Ling Zimo and the others. The behavior of the Ling family made Lin Xuanzhong realize that the situation of the Ling family was more serious than he imagined, but fortunately, Ni Youbin had already notified the Ni Family Chamber of Commerce to give assistance, thinking that Lin Xuanzhong was not too worried.
In fact, now that the war is raging, the business of each family is not easy to do, the Ling family letting the clansmen join the army is just the beginning, in the future, there may be more and more children of the family on this road, but now Lin Xuanzhong and they don't realize it, and only Ling Zimo and the five people who go with Lin Xuanzhong.
The number of people only accounts for a very small part of the nineteenth generation of the Ling family, and after a while, the head of the Ling family will also send some of the Ling family's children out, of course, these are not Lin Xuanzhong's needs. When they reached the door of the Ling Mansion, the Ling Ziqing sisters finally caught up.
