Chapter 190: Strange Thoughts
readx;? The moment Tang Ruoxi appeared in front of Lu Yifan, Lu Yifan was completely stunned. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Is the haggard, gloomy woman in front of him still the Tang Ruoxi he once knew?
The excessively thin body seems to have reached the point where it is almost unstable to stand, although it has been deliberately combed, it can still be seen that there is a bit of messy hair, and the face that is so pale that it seems to be terminally ill, and it is clean on top of a white plain clothes, and it is not even wearing the slightest decorative embellishment that should belong to such a beautiful woman, this kind of poignant scene, so that anyone who sees it can't help but feel an inexplicable sadness.
Tang Ruoxi used to be slim and full of confidence, and he didn't need to open his mouth to that station, and there was a natural sense of pride that came out, and he was a Bingyu beauty who did not eat fireworks in the world, which was fascinating.
And today's Tang Ruoxi not only has no confidence in his body, but on the contrary, his face is bloodless, he does not add powder, he does not wear makeup, he is wrapped in plain clothes, his eyes are empty, he is still without any look, he moves like a weak willow supporting the wind, how he looks haggard, how he looks like he is in a trance, it is like losing his soul and losing his soul, and it is like a person who has been greatly hit and has lost any interest in life.
"Wakashio ......"
Seeing Tang Ruoxi who appeared at the door, especially seeing her such a weak and haggard appearance, Lu Yifan couldn't help but tremble, and then stood up with a surprised face, and walked slowly over with a solemn face, his doubts were too many, but he didn't know where to start for a while, he was afraid that his eagerness to ask would completely knock down Tang Ruoxi, who was already crumbling.
"Yifan!" Tang Ruoxi's tone of voice to Lu Yifan was still as gentle as water, the corners of her mouth forced a smile, and a faint light flashed in her eyes, showing her best side in front of Lu Yifan as much as possible. But even so, Lu Yifan still felt a strong sense of exhaustion from between Tang Ruoxi's eyebrows and eyes, compared with the past, today's meeting between Tang Ruoxi and Lu Yifan seems to be more indifferent and distracted.
"...... are you" Lu Yifan stood in front of Tang Ruoxi, looking Tang Ruoxi's weak figure up and down, with a thick incomprehension between his eyebrows, "Are you sick?"
Hearing Lu Yifan's question, Tang Ruoxi smiled, then chuckled and shook his head, then stretched out his hand to the hall and gestured, and said with a light smile: "Sit down first!" After finishing speaking, he also whispered to the Tang Sect disciples beside him, "Go and prepare some wine and food, and serve them later!"
Lu Yifan saw that Tang Ruoxi was always deliberately covering up and refusing to answer his questions directly, and he didn't want to ask more questions at the moment, so he could only sigh lightly and follow Tang Ruoxi back to the hall and sit down again.
"This is the legendary Tang Sect Master, Tang Ruoxi?" Liu Sandao looked at Tang Ruoxi with a smile, and there was a hint of banter in his eyes, "Sure enough, it's a big beauty, although I haven't seen you, but I'm about to come out of a cocoon when I hear your name!"
"Oh?" Tang Ruoxi stretched out her hand and gently stroked a few strands of hair that had fallen in front of her eyes, and then she gently glanced at the Vermilion Bird Courtyard robe on Liu Sandao's body, and then asked lightly, "Who are you? When did you enter the Vermilion Bird Courtyard, why didn't I have an impression? Where did you hear my name?"
"Of course you won't have an impression, looking at your haggard appearance now, presumably in the past few months, your mind has been all over the depression in your heart, and you won't have any impression of everything around you!" Liu Sandao smiled frankly, "As for where I heard your name, No!" Liu Sandao said and nodded at Ji Yuan, who was sitting on the side, and the meaning of his words was self-evident.
Ji Yuan saw that Liu Sandao had betrayed himself like this, and he could only smile awkwardly at the moment, but it was not good to make any jokes with Liu Sandao in front of Tang Ruoxi.
"Ruoxi, his name is Liu Sandao, and he is a friend I met during my trip to the southwest!" Lu Yifan hurriedly interrupted Liu Sandao's gag, and introduced to Tang Ruoxi with a smile, "And this is Xie Yun, who is also a strong friend I made during my trip to the southwest!"
"Oh!" Tang Ruoxi agreed softly without hurrying, she didn't seem to be curious about the origin of Liu Sandao and Xie Yun at all, or she didn't have any intention to be curious about anything at all now, "Since it's your friend, it's naturally also a friend of my Tang Sect, welcome!"
Listening to Tang Ruoxi's perfunctory words, even Lu Yifan couldn't help but feel strange in his heart, he couldn't figure out what was going on? Why did Tang Ruoxi, who hadn't seen him for a year, change his temperament to such a point.
"Yifan, is everything going well on this trip to the southwest?" Finally, Tang Ruoxi seemed to realize his faux pas, so he hurriedly changed the conversation, smiled lightly and set his eyes on Lu Yifan.
"Why? Haven't you heard?" Ji Yuan asked curiously, "Isn't it known to everyone in the academy about the ups and downs?"
"Really?" Tang Ruoxi asked in surprise, but then her expression returned to normal, and then said thoughtfully, "I remember that Han Cheng did mention something to me a few days ago, but he didn't get too distracted and forgot about it......"
"Ruoxi, something is not quite right with you!" Lu Yifan looked at Tang Ruoxi's rather unnatural face with solemn eyes, "Or that your entire Tang Sect is not quite right, tell me, what happened?"
"No ......" Before Lu Yifan's words fell, Tang Ruoxi suddenly opened her mouth to veto, and then she seemed to realize her gaffe, so she hurriedly slowed down her speech a little, "It's nothing, it's just that I've not felt well for the past two days!"
"Not feeling well?" Liu Sandao looked at Tang Ruoxi with a scrutinizing face, and said with a smile, "In my opinion, although you are haggard, your body is not abnormal, presumably your discomfort refers to heart disease, right?"
Liu Sandao's words made Tang Ruoxi's body tremble slightly, and her originally empty and tired eyes suddenly flashed a panicked meaning in an instant, but this look was quickly restrained by her, and then said to Liu Sandao with displeasure: "What is the disease, I don't bother you to ask!"
"Brother Liu!" Without waiting for Liu Sandao to open his mouth again, Lu Yifan took the lead in interrupting his words, and then nodded at Liu Sandao without leaving a trace, signaling him not to ask any further.
"Ruoxi, no matter what you do, as long as I can help you, you must tell me!" Lu Yifan looked directly at Tang Ruoxi with a sincere face, "What if...... If you still treat me as a friend!"
Lu Yifan's words made Tang Ruoxi's complexion change suddenly, she turned her head suddenly, her eyes were filled with a very eager gaze, that feeling was like she had a thousand words to talk to someone in a hurry, full of eagerness, but just when Tang Ruoxi's red lips were slightly about to say it, she suddenly thought of something, Dai's frowning eyes hesitated for a long time, and finally she could only smile bitterly again in a light sigh, after all, she didn't say half a word.
The more Tang Ruoxi was like this, the more Lu Yifan felt that something was wrong.
"Yifan, ...... you" After Tang Ruoxi hesitated for a while, he slowly raised his eyes to look at Lu Yifan, his eyes seemed to add a little tenderness and kindness to him just now, "Of course you are my friend...... If you don't even count, then I, Tang Ruoxi, have no friends in this world......"
"Ruoxi, you ......"
"Yifan!" Tang Ruoxi interrupted Lu Yifan's questioning again, only to see her pretend to look at Lu Yifan and the three of them easily, and then asked, "Do you have anything to do with you coming to me?"
"En!" Lu Yifan hesitated for a moment before nodding in response, "Ruoxi, I am going to set up a Fan Sect in the Vermilion Bird Academy, and I want to use this academy competition to quickly grow the Fan Sect!"
"Have you finally figured it out?" Tang Ruoxi's reaction was similar to what Lu Yifan imagined, and he did not blame Lu Yifan for setting up another mountain, on the contrary, it was more support and praise, "With your ability, you should have done this before you left last year!"
"Tang Sect Master, don't you object?" Xie Yun raised his eyebrows lightly and asked.
"Oppose?" Tang Ruoxi smiled faintly and asked softly, "Why should I object?"
"Now that there are two forces in the Vermilion Bird Courtyard, there are already two forces, the Tang Sect and the Feather Sect, and now that the Fan Sect is strongly inserted, are you not afraid that the Fan Sect will steal your limelight in the future?"
"Hehe......" Xie Yun's words made Tang Ruoxi couldn't help but smile in astonishment, only to see her glance at Lu Yifan gently, and said softly, "Yifan is my junior brother and my friend." Don't say that he wants to create a mortal gate by himself, even if he wants to be the master of my Tang Gate, let me give the Tang Gate to him, I will happily promise, never say a word!"
"This ......" Tang Ruoxi's heartfelt words made Lu Yifan and the others secretly surprised, even Lu Yifan himself didn't expect Tang Ruoxi to say such a thing.
"Besides, I have long lost any interest in the competition for fame and fortune in the academy, let him be the number one force in the Suzaku Academy if Yumen wants to fight! I don't want to fight with him anymore!" Tang Ruoxi said faintly, her eyes were always in a state of wandering when she said this, obviously her mind was no longer here, and she didn't know where to go, "Now that Yifan has founded Fanmen, I will naturally do everything I can and help each other!"
"It's really Tang Ruoxi, it seems that you are really good to Yifan!" Xie Yun chuckled with emotion, and then he arched his hand apologetically at Tang Ruoxi, "I have always heard that the Tang Sect Master has a great friendship with Yifan, but after all, it is better to meet than to be famous." Just now, I was just a little tempted, and the Tang Sect Master said such profound and righteous words, but it was I, Xie Yun, who lived the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain. Here, I will accompany the master of the Tang Sect!"
At this moment, Liu Sandao, who has always liked to talk a lot, surprisingly didn't speak, he just sat there quietly with a cup of tea, his eyes staring at Tang Ruoxi with deep meaning, and there seemed to be a trace of doubt between his eyebrows.
"I said a long time ago, even if there is no kindness from the Tang Sect, just relying on the Tang Sect Master's personality is definitely worth us doing for her!" Ji Yuan said with a laugh.
"Wait a minute!" Tang Ruoxi seemed to hear a hint from Ji Yuan's words, and then hurriedly gathered his thoughts, and asked curiously, "What do you mean by this?
"Of course, it's for your Tang Sect to regain its former fame and status!" Ji Yuan laughed loudly, "The reason why Yifan wants to establish Fanmen is to send all the powerful Fanmen into your Tang Sect in the future." We already know that in the past year, the Tang Sect has been persecuted by the Yumen repeatedly, and the Qingmen has been spreading rumors in the academy, which has caused the reputation of the Tang Sect Master to be greatly damaged. In the final analysis, everything is because of us, and this time Yifan has decided to get it back for you with interest!"
"Yifan, you ......" Tang Ruoxi looked at Lu Yifan with a surprised face, and there was a trace of heartfelt emotion in his eyes.
"Ruoxi, let's be honest, my days in the Holy Soul Academy are numbered!" Lu Yifan showed a relaxed smile at Tang Ruoxi, "I received a letter from my father, and I will leave the Holy Soul Academy in a month, and I may not come back after I go!" So I want to settle the grievances and grievances in the academy before leaving, and you and your Tang Sect are my Lu Yifan's biggest benefactors in the Holy Soul Academy, and when we just entered the academy, they repeatedly stepped forward to help us out of the siege, and later when I was away, the Tang Sect resisted the pressure from Yumen and Qingmen, and insisted on helping Lu Jun and Wencai their life and cultivation not to be disturbed, this kind of kindness I Lu Yifan must not forget, let alone just leave. Therefore, I want to use the newly established Fan Sect and this academy competition to recover all the glory that should belong to the Tang Sect in one fell swoop, and help you sit on the throne of the first force of the real Vermilion Bird Academy!"
"Yifan, I ......"
"Ruoxi, don't say more!" Without waiting for Tang Ruoxi to speak, Lu Yifan said in a firm tone, " No matter what happens to you, you can't erase the fact that the Tang Sect is the hard work you have accumulated over the years, since it is your hard work, then you must not let it be destroyed, maybe today you have no mind for the battle between forces, but after all, the Tang Sect is still a force in the Holy Soul Academy, and there are hundreds of Tang Sect disciples in the Tang Sect now, even if it is not for yourself, but for the Tang Sect, for the sake of the Tang Sect, for these Tang Sect disciples who have always been loyal to you!"
"Then what can I do to help you?" Tang Ruoxi finally agreed with Lu Yifan's words and nodded slowly.
"The only thing you want to help me now is to rest well and take care of yourself! Then stand aside and wait for the results I bring you!" Lu Yifan said with a worried face, "Ruoxi, your current haggard is something I have never seen before, although I don't know what happened to you, but I think you must be silently under some kind of huge pressure now, so the most important thing you should do now is not to care about other people, but yourself! As for other things, leave it to me and my Fanmen!"
"Hmm!" Tang Ruoxi's answer was still a little absent-minded, although she was deeply moved by Lu Yifan's actions, but Lu Yifan could clearly feel that what she had done was far from touching the pain hidden in Tang Ruoxi's heart.
"Ruoxi, do you have anything to say to me now?" Lu Yifan suppressed his curiosity as much as possible and asked softly.
Under Lu Yifan's gaze, Tang Ruoxi's expression was obviously hesitating, and just when the entire hall fell into silence, Tang Ruoxi finally reacted, but she still didn't say anything, just barely squeezed out a soft smile at Lu Yifan, and then slowly shook her head, but in Tang Ruoxi's smile, Lu Yifan could clearly feel a touch of bitterness and sadness.
"Alas!"
Tang Ruoxi was silent, and Lu Yifan naturally didn't want to ask too much, so in the end, he could only stand up slowly with a helpless sigh, and said softly: "If you have figured it out and are willing to tell me the depression in your heart, you can come to me at any time! Let's go first, you have a good rest, don't do this to yourself like this!"
Tang Ruoxi didn't hold back too much, just smiled and nodded, her smile was better than not laughing, because when she didn't laugh, she only felt haggard and weak, and when he forced a smile, it gave people an indescribable sourness and poignancy, which really made people can't bear to continue to look at it.
"Lord Lumen, why are you in such a hurry? On the first day of the Lunar New Year, I heard that your Lu Sect was mainly waving the flag in the Vermilion Bird Courtyard to set up a new Fan Sect, and also asked his subordinates to say that the academy was going to officially recruit introductory disciples, this kind of great joy, how could Qin not come to celebrate in person? haha......"
Just when Lu Yifan was about to take someone away, a rather sour-sounding laugh suddenly sounded from outside the hall, and then in a chaotic noise outside the door, I saw Qin Qingyu with an evil face with dozens of big men, savagely pushing away the Tang Sect disciples who came to stop him, and broke in hard.
And at this moment, beside Qin Yu, there were also more than a dozen Qingmen disciples dressed in the robes of the White Tiger Academy, and Lu Yifan, the person at the head, had never seen it, but looking at his cold eyes and the arrogance that naturally flowed from his whole body, it was not difficult for Lu Yifan to guess that this person must have a good status among the Qingmen.
It seems that the two families of Yumen and Qingmen are now in the same spirit, and they even like to go to the door to find trouble.
"Qin Qingyu, what are you doing here?" After all, this is the Tang Sect, and even if he wants to question, it will not be Lu Yifan's turn to speak, so at this moment, Tang Ruoxi has stepped forward with a gloomy face.
"What for?" A group of imposing Yumen and Qingmen disciples stood in the courtyard of the Tang Gate, and at this moment they were being glared at by a group of indignant Tang Men disciples standing around, Qin Qingyu's performance was surprisingly calm and calm, "Of course, I came to congratulate him!" The Lord of the Lu Gate returned on Chinese New Year's Eve, and founded the Fan Gate on the first day of the new year, such a gratifying thing, we are all people of the Suzaku Courtyard, how can I not come to congratulate in person?" And I guessed that the Lord of the Lu Sect must be in the Tang Sect now, so I invited the second master of the Qingmen, He Jun, to come together! Oh, by the way, we also personally selected a few congratulatory gifts for the Lord of the Lu Gate, I hope you can like the Lord of the Lu Gate!"
Saying that, a sneer suddenly flashed in Qin Qingyu's eyes full of evil spirits, and then he waved his hand left and right, and then a passage was separated among the Yumen disciples, and then they were beaten all over the body, and Lu Jun, Lu Wencai, and Luo Xiu, who were full of red and swollen faces, were dragged out by several sturdy Yumen disciples.
"Tut-tut, look at your own cheap look! You're not very old, but you have a damn belly of bad water! It seems that Lao Tzu has to teach you how to be a man today, otherwise how will you go outside and mix around when you get out of here in the future?"
While talking, Liu Sandao, who had a strong temperament, was already dragging his long knife and striding towards Qin Qingyu, and walked over with a smirk on his face.
It seems that Liu Sandao has indeed taken Qiu Ming's order as a deaf ear.
