Chapter 157: The night rain is slightly cool, and the song is hateful
The night rain beats on the doors and windows, washing away the dirt of the world.
Under the eaves outside the Star Picking Mansion.
Lu Changge put the oil-paper umbrella aside and waited quietly.
His expression was different, and he kept pacing, looking towards the house.
Soon there was a sound of footsteps, and Shen Qiubai, who was dressed in white and shengxue, appeared in his field of vision.
"Senior Brother Lu came to visit late at night, what happened?"
Shen Qiubai didn't have a deep impression of Lu Changge, and the only thing he remembered was probably the picture of Li Mengzhou crossing the border to defeat him on the fifth floor.
This is obviously not a good impression for Lu Changge.
But Lu Changge's mind was not at all on whether Shen Qiubai had an impression of him, he took it for granted that he had spoken to Shen Qiubai at the banquet on the eve of the Panlong Banquet, so he was naturally familiar.
It's just because he wants to be close to Shen Qiubai in his heart, and he doesn't hesitate to gamble on his sister's life happiness, so in a very casual situation, he has a little contact with Shen Qiubai, and he feels that he is already friends with Shen Qiubai, as for whether Shen Qiubai will think so, he obviously hasn't been entangled.
It is worth mentioning here that Lu Jiuge, Nan Sheng and other Pujiayuan disciples left the capital after the incident of monks outside the capital mountain, and had already embarked on the journey back to Pujiayuan.
If he knew that Shen Qiubai's only impression of him was that he was defeated by Li Mengzhou in the fifth floor, Lu Changge was afraid that he would go crazy, and that incident would definitely be a shame for his life.
But it was obviously impossible for him to know about this, so he just looked at Shen Qiubai with some joy, and hurriedly said, "I've seen Senior Brother Shen." ”
Shen Qiubai nodded slightly, and asked again tirelessly, "Senior Brother Lu, what's the matter?"
Lu Changge said with a somewhat gloomy expression: "Senior Brother Shen also knows that we don't fall into the entanglement between the Mountain Gate and the Leaving Palace Sword Academy, over the years, there will definitely be a question at the end of autumn, and although it was a little late the year before last, the Mountain Gate Question was still held, because of that guy Li Mengzhou, I didn't fall down the mountain and faced a fiasco, which was impossible to happen in previous years." ”
Over the years, there have been victories and defeats, but they have not encountered a fiasco, and at most both sides have each lost a loss.
Shen Qiubai listened carefully to Lu Changge's words, frowned slightly, and said with some puzzlement: "What did Senior Brother Lu tell me about this?"
The matter of leaving the palace sword courtyard and the non-falling mountain gate is definitely known to everyone in the capital, and Shen Qiubai didn't figure out what Lu Changge meant for a while.
Lu Changge said very seriously: "I hope Senior Brother Shen can help deal with that Li Mengzhou, and it is best to abolish him." ”
Shen Qiubai looked at Lu Changge in silence, and said calmly: "Maybe I misunderstood, Senior Brother Lu wants me to make a move against Li Mengzhou?"
Lu Changge obviously didn't notice the change in Shen Qiubai's attitude, but continued: "That's right, I really hope that Senior Brother Shen can make a move. ”
Shen Qiubai chuckled lightly and said, "I also probably know some about the grievances between the Sword Courtyard of the Palace and the Mountain that does not fall, but that is your own business, outsiders have no right to interfere, I am just curious, what is Senior Brother Lu thinking in his heart, why should I help you deal with Li Mengzhou? If you say that I will fight with Ouyang Shengxue, I will not be too surprised, although I still will not agree." ”
He did find it a little inexplicable.
If he has a good relationship with Lu Changge, even to the point where he can completely hand over his back to the other party, then he is also qualified and justified to help his good friend.
But he and Lu Changge are not familiar with each other, and he hasn't said a few words so far, and when he visited late at night, he suddenly made such a request, he really didn't know what to say, and even felt a little ridiculous.
Moreover, Lu Changge wanted to deal with Li Mengzhou, not the entire Imperial Sword Courtyard, which was a personal grudge, not a matter of the two mountain gates.
Shen Qiubai could probably think of what was going on, after all, in his cognition, the involvement between Lu Changge and Li Mengzhou was only the one that happened in the fifth floor, and Lu Changge was purely unwilling to accept his failure and wanted revenge.
For this kind of thing, Shen Qiubai can understand.
After all, Lu Changge crossed the threshold of the Four Realms, but Li Mengzhou was still outside the threshold, but in front of the public, Li Mengzhou showed extraordinary means, and it was indeed a matter of great blow to his self-esteem to defeat him across the border.
But if you want to get revenge and get back your self-esteem, but you also have to rely on your own skills and find other people to help, what is the matter?
The most critical question is, even if you want to seek help from others, shouldn't the best candidate be Xie Chunfeng, the chief disciple who does not fall off the mountain?
After all, it is a brother-in-law relationship.
What does it mean to come to him for some reason?
Shen Qiubai really couldn't understand this.
Why don't you go to your brother for something, but come to a stranger who hasn't said anything at all?
Fortunately, Shen Qiubai is not a person who thinks about everything in a bad way, otherwise he would definitely be able to clearly realize that Lu Changge had the intention of killing people with a knife.
If he wants to abolish the disciples of the Palace Sword Academy, then he must take a lot of risks, and if he lets outsiders take action, or even Shen Qiubai, a disciple of the Star Picking Mansion with an extraordinary status, it is indeed a good way to kill people with a knife, and directly lead the spearhead of the Palace Sword Academy to the Star Picking Mansion.
But even so, you said it so straightforwardly, without hiding the slightest, did you want to treat Shen Qiubai as a fool?
Shen Qiubai could think of this, but he didn't think that Lu Changge really came to him with this kind of purpose, but other than that, he really couldn't figure out the reason why Lu Changge said this, because in his opinion, it was a completely illogical thing.
Unless Lu Changge's brain has a problem.
And just as Shen Qiubai said, even if Lu Changge asked him to deal with Ouyang Shengxue, the first sword of the Palace Sword Academy, although it was still impossible for him to agree because of Lu Changge's request, at least he was interested.
Although Li Mengzhou performed very well in the five-story building, in half a year, he went from a little white who had just embarked on the path of cultivation to Lu Changge, who crossed the border to defeat the cultivation of the four realms, and was talked about as a little monster by many people in the capital, but in fact, he still couldn't get into Shen Qiubai's sight.
That is, outside the South City Gate, Li Mengzhou's behavior of drawing his sword to Zhuge Dan made Shen Qiubai appreciate it a little.
After all, Lu Changge is a cultivator who has crossed the threshold of the Four Realms, and if he is defeated by someone with a lower cultivation level than himself, he will definitely be hit, but after all, he is ahead of Li Mengzhou on the path of cultivation, and seeking help from others to abolish Li Mengzhou is not the right path, let alone asking a person like Shen Qiubai to take action.
This in itself is a very problematic thing.
How could Shen Qiubai play such a trick with him.
In his opinion, this is a kind of humiliation for him.
It's not that he looks down on Li Mengzhou, it's just that he is still Li Mengzhou's predecessor after all, and the gap between the cultivation realms of the two is so huge, it is reasonable for him to target Li Mengzhou because of Lu Changge.
On the contrary, Lu Changge's move made Shen Qiubai quite unhappy.
And Lu Changge also looked a little incredulous when he heard Shen Qiubai's obvious rejection of him.
He has always fantasized that his sister is married to Shen Qiubai, then Shen Qiubai is his brother-in-law, in his subconscious, Shen Qiubai should be his own person, just such a simple request, he didn't think Shen Qiubai would refuse so simply.
Lu Changge may be really dazed, or he may have fallen into a daze in the matter of his sister and Shen Qiubai, Mo said that Shen Qiubai definitely did not agree to marry Lu Jiuge, even if he really became Lu Changge's brother-in-law, according to Shen Qiubai's character, he is likely to kill his relatives in righteousness, and it is impossible to become Lu Changge's backer and help him settle everything.
And the most important thing is that Lu Changge has never really expressed to Shen Qiubai the idea of marrying his sister to him, and at that time at the Panlong Banquet, Shen Qiubai didn't listen to what Lu Changge was saying at all, and soon found an excuse to leave.
The so-called vague consensus with Shen Qiubai is completely an illusion that Lu Changge has imagined.
He substituted Shen Qiubai into the identity of his brother-in-law, so it was reasonable for him to ask Shen Qiubai for help, but unfortunately this was not the case.
Shen Qiubai couldn't understand Lu Changge's thoughts.
And Lu Changge didn't seem to understand Shen Qiubai's thoughts suddenly.
Shen Qiubai looked at Lu Changge, who was a little sluggish, shook his head slightly, and said: "I don't care if you are angry about Li Mengzhou beating you on the fifth floor, or because of the so-called righteousness of the mountain gate, this matter has nothing to do with me, you'd better know what your identity is, and what Li Mengzhou's identity is." ”
"Your personal grievances, you will settle them openly, even if you really kill him, he is not as good as others, if this matter is on the surface, even if it is the Palace Sword Academy, you can't say anything, but if you have other ideas, you must be prepared to be retaliated against by the Palace Sword Academy. ”
Listening to Shen Qiubai's words, Lu Changge didn't rush to speak, he just looked at the other party, there seemed to be some struggle in his eyes, and said very seriously and sincerely: "Let's not mention this matter for the time being, I should have told Senior Brother Shen about it, my sister likes you very much, if the two of you can get married, this should be a beautiful conversation of a fairy couple." ”
"My sister is the personal disciple of the mountain lord of Pujiayuan, and she is also the successor of the mountain lord's position, there is no better match in the world than the two of you. ”
Shen Qiubai frowned, looked at Lu Changge very seriously, and said: "I only know now that it turns out that Senior Brother Lu's sister is a disciple of the Lord of Begonia Mountain in Pujia Garden, although I have not been in contact with Miss Lu, but I have also heard about her, and even I met Yue Congshuang, the senior sister of Pujia Garden, if Miss Lu is really interested in me, I should be clear." ”
"And I used to hear from Yue Congshuang that Miss Lu has an elder brother who doesn't seem to be an upright person, but now looking at what Senior Brother Lu did, I have an accurate understanding. ”
Shen Qiubai really didn't have a good impression of Lu Changge at all, especially when determining the brother-sister relationship between Lu Changge and Lu Jiuge, according to the simple description in the mouth of Senior Sister Pujiayuan, he already had some bad feelings.
So there was some coldness in his words, and the disgust was already clearly expressed.
Lu Changge, who originally had some hope, gradually stiffened his expression when Shen Qiubai's voice fell.
He lowered his head slightly, and a hint of resentment appeared in his eyes.
He couldn't stand the fact that he was defeated by Li Mengzhou on the fifth floor.
And Shen Qiubai's righteous refusal even showed disgust for him, which made Lu Changge even regard Shen Qiubai as an enemy, and his heart was full of hatred.
His dreams came to naught.
was beaten to pieces by Shen Qiubai's words.
He didn't say anything more, nor did he look at Shen Qiubai again, silently picked up the oil-paper umbrella, propped it on top of his head, and disappeared into the rainy night.
Shen Qiubai stood under the eaves, looked at the back in the rain curtain, shook his head slightly, and turned around and walked into the Star Picking Mansion.
