Chapter 80 [Hundred Flowers Lane]
(After writing the plot of abandoning the exam, two things happened, first: the collection went crazy, and second: I received a lot of recommendation votes, and this reaction is very strange.) Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ¼
There was no fragrant story this night, eating spicy noodles and drinking coarse grain wine, which ruined the elegance and reserve of a young lady of the Xie family, and also made the melancholy in Yuan Lai's heart disappear.
When the two of them rolled out of the inn in Qushui Town, the city gate was opened, and then Yuan Lai quietly returned to the Yuan family bookstore, and he was greeted by Liu Wen and Yuan Li, who had a strange face, and there was no way to hide the matter of the retest, plus this kind of thing is really a strange story for the ages, with the opening of the city gate in the early morning, Yuan Lai Xie Caiwei gave up the exam and quit like wings and flew over most of the capital.
"Young master, do you know that when I went out this morning, I heard the streets talking about you. Yuan Li sighed and said with some resentment: "Let's not make trouble, okay, what they said is false, right?"
Yuan Lai was a little embarrassed, and coughed lightly to comfort: "Actually, my decision was deliberate......
Yuan Li's face turned pale suddenly! That expression was as if his ideals were shattered, and he was born without love, and this appearance also frightened Yuan Lai greatly, and he couldn't help but think to himself, why did I give up the test, why are you sad like this?
Yuan Li endured and endured and finally almost didn't cry, and complained: "Do you know that I threw all the belongings I saved in the past two years into the Chengxi Gambling House? I bought the young master, you won! Now it's all gone!!"
This wail was simply sad for the seekers and tears for the hearers, which immediately made Yuan Lai feel guilty.
Liu Wen pushed the mournful Yuan Li aside and asked solemnly, "Why?"
Yuan Lai was silent, pulled Liu Wen to the backyard, stopped under the big white fruit tree, and then said, "Uncle Liu, do you know who the person who destroyed the Yun Sect is?"
Liu Wen's expression changed slightly, and he looked at the young man next to him who was already more than his shoulder height, Yuan Lai didn't look at him and was just waiting for an answer, and finally he sighed and said, "I know." ā
"I know you won't tell me, and you will let me take the Beizong exam?" Yuan Lai asked curiously.
Liu Wen pursed his lips and said with a stunned expression: "Your father and I hope that this matter will not be implicated in you, in fact, we don't know much about the original matter, we only know that the one who destroyed the Yun Sect was indeed a great elder of the Northern Sect, as for the person's surname, I don't know anyone, and the reasons involved are even more ignorant, your mother...... In fact, your father didn't agree with the letter he left behind, and he didn't want to stick to Yun Zong or anything, especially you, but ...... In fact, he is also very contradictory, he has hoped that you have practiced all these years but also has some unwants, revenge is a story from the mouth of a storyteller, and if it really falls on him, can he really be desperate for everything? Not to mention that it is the Northern Sect. ā
As he spoke, his eyes fell on Yuan Lai and said, "Because Yunzong, your father has lost your mother, he doesn't want to put you in again." ā
Yuan Lai's heart was slightly sour, although he didn't have any family affection for Yuan Shoucheng, the father who fell from the sky, but at this moment, he was still a little moved and helpless to the world, of course he was not a hot-blooded young man who didn't know the benefits, and he didn't have any consciousness in his heart to dedicate himself to a strange mother, so he thought about it and said very seriously: "I understand." ā
Liu Wen didn't say a word, he was not surprised by Yuan Lai's reaction, he had long realized that Yuan Lai was not a simple and ordinary fifteen-year-old boy these days, and even sometimes when the two of them talked, he even felt that Yuan Lai was clearly an adult who was about the same as himself, this feeling often puzzled him, but after thinking about it, he could only blame his young master for being a very smart person.
It was because of this that he decided to say this so frankly, and after saying it, it also meant that he really regarded Yuan Lai as an adult from now on.
"Beizong gave up and gave up, what are you going to do next?" Liu Wen smiled and changed the topic, he believed that Yuan Lai would be able to figure out the matter of Yunzong by himself.
"Next...... I haven't thought about it yet, I've been busy preparing for the exam these days, and now that I'm done with the exam, I really don't have any plans haha. Yuan Lai laughed.
Liu Wen thought for a while and said, "Do you still want to practice?"
"Absolutely. Yuan Lai did not hesitate, he still remembered his "mission", every time he remembered the words of the first life, he only felt heavy in his heart, and he had always been uneasy about this wonderful character in the first life.
"In this case, if you want to practice, you can't always do it behind closed doors, you still have to find a master sect, you can invite some cultivators in the capital, and there are countless sects outside the capital, and I think that the young master, you have not gained nothing from taking the Northern Sect exam, and you have to think about it carefully in the future. Liu Wen said with a deep groan.
"Harvest, what harvest?" Yuan Lai wanted to hear Uncle Liu's thoughts.
"First, it's reputation. Liu Wen said seriously: "This reputation does not refer to the simple fact that your name is known, but another meaning, young master, you have solved the additional question in the first attempt, anyone knows that you have great understanding, and it can be said that you are an excellent jade on the way to practice, and now that you have withdrawn from the Northern Sect, then other sect inheritances are bound to have some thoughts about you, and it is not easy to find people with excellent understanding in the world, every one of them is a treasure." ā
Yuan Lai nodded, he also thought of this, this is an advantage.
"Second, this is not a good thing, you and Miss Xie Jia's abandonment of the exam is undoubtedly embarrassing to the Northern Sect, for this matter, it is impossible for the people in the Northern Sect not to have a bad feeling towards you, and others may not think about anything, but I heard that it is Dean Tu Su Tu who is in charge of the re-examination? Now that Tu Su may not have a good impression of us, after all, Miss Xie has the Wang Xie family, so don't worry about this, but our family is not better than the Xie family, and we have to think more about this matter. Liu Wen said solemnly.
Yuan Lai's heart tightened, and his face became more serious, his behavior made Tu Su's face look bad, this has become a fact, Xie Caiwei not only has the backing of the family, but Yuan Lai thinks that she will not go to the Northern Sect for fear that Tu Su will be relieved, it may not be a bad thing, but he is indeed evil to the dean Tu, although he will not do anything to himself if he thinks about it, but if he meets it in the future, he may not be inadvertently put on a few small shoes.
"You're right, I'll think about it. ā
"Okay, let's rest at home for the next two days, and I'll be busy first. Liu Wen nodded and turned to leave.
Yuan Lai thought about the whole thing for a while, and felt that he had a score in his heart, so he went back to the room.
After sitting in the room for a while, he was bored and suddenly remembered "Huang Tingjing".
This scripture has hardly been read again since he broke through the first realm, and the contents of the book have long been memorized by him, so he didn't bother to read it again for a long time, and today he suddenly wanted to read it again, so he took out the scripture wrapped in yellow cloth from the bookshelf and put it on the table.
After calming down and getting rid of distracting thoughts, he stretched out his hand and turned the first page, and at this time, the little golden heart that had been at peace suddenly jumped violently! A trace of vitality involuntarily flowed out from his fingers and poured into the book!
Yuan Lai was stunned, and before he could react, a thunderous explosion sounded in his ears, and a street scene suddenly flashed in front of him!
It is an alley, a very ordinary alley, you can see it everywhere in the capital, there is an apricot tree at the mouth of the alley, but the old tree does not know what disease it has, only green leaves but no fruit, and there are rock sugar gourds selling under the tree are also clearly visible!
It's just that the scenery disappeared in an instant, and the thunder disappeared without a trace, and the golden heart returned to normal, only Yuan Lai opened his mouth in surprise, looked at Huang Tingjing on the table, and felt an emotion lingering in his heart.
That emotion is called ...... Craving!
"What's going on, that alley ......" Yuan Lai muttered to himself, not only the strange vision itself, but also the alley...... He does!
He always passed that alley every morning for a morning jog, and he remembered the last time he was stopped by the black-faced officer from the outer prison, at the corner of that alley...... Hundred Flowers Lane!
Yuan Lai closed the book and made a decision in an instant, he wanted to take a look!
(Chapter 32 mentions this Hundred Flowers Alley, a small foreshadowing.) ļ¼
