Chapter 67: The Four Courts Gather
The gongs and drums sounded, the music played, and the party between the Sword Sect and the Red Sleeve Pavilion finally began.
Coming to the first floor of the Stratosphere Tower, following the cold wind, several people found a quiet place to sit down. Although the place is quiet, there are two more living treasures, Bai Xiaoci and Tang Xiaoxiao, even if they sit apart, the two are still chattering. What's more, now the two of them are holding Ye Tian's arm and pinching each other under Ye Tian's eyelids.
Excluding Bai Xiaoxi and Tang Xiaoxiao, except for Shang Bai and Wang Ruolan, the rest made Ye Tian feel speechless, and he couldn't wait to find a hole to drill into. The wine and food prepared at the party were quite sumptuous, which was exactly the same as the big stomach king Li Shuo, who sat down, didn't say a word, took a wine glass and drank it all, and then ate it happily, the scene was really spectacular.
What made Ye Tian feel speechless the most was the dragon seedling. At this moment, Ye Tiancai found that in addition to the effect of stinky beauty, the colorful clothes of Long Yang also had the most critical effect. That is, standing in the middle of the crowd, you will not be afraid to find him. Unlike Li Shuo, Long Yang walked alone towards the place where female disciples gathered, and Ling Xueran was sitting at the front of that place. Regarding Long Yang's actions and words, although Ling Xueran, who was sitting on the side, didn't say anything, Ye Tian could sense that Ling Xueran had a desire to throw Long Yang out of the Sky Tower.
In silence, the music of the party gradually stopped, and then several men slowly walked down from the second floor of the Stratosphere Tower. As soon as that group appeared, it immediately attracted the attention of everyone present. Ye Tian's gaze was also attracted. I was especially interested in the man who led me. Because the first time he saw that man, Ye Tian felt a feeling of incomprehensibility. It seems like the ocean is bottomless.
The man sat alone on the upper seat, while the disciples behind him sat down. As soon as the man sat down, he stood up again, a glass of wine in his hand. "Let everyone wait for a long time! Qi Rui punished himself here. The man took his glass and took a sip. Seeing that the man drank it all, the disciples below all picked up their wine glasses and drank it all.
Putting down the wine glass, a faint smile appeared on the man's face, and then said, "Today's party will be in charge of Qi Rui, if you don't do enough, please understand." Here, let's welcome the distinguished guests from thousands of miles away. ”
"In the Lower Red Sleeve Pavilion Fuxiao, if the Red Sleeve Pavilion disturbs your sect, please understand. According to etiquette, as soon as the man's words were over, Fuxiao stood up, and a group of red-sleeved pavilions behind him also stood up.
Senior Sister Fu laughed. You can come to my Sword Sect, it really makes my Sword Sect shine, how can I disturb it. ”
"Senior Brother Xia praised it falsely. ”
"Alright, alright. Everyone is an acquaintance, so there is no need to be so polite and restrained. Senior Sister Fu, you should sit down first and eat at will. It's like this is the Red Sleeve Pavilion. The disciples of the Sword Sect should not be stingy, and there are more senior sisters and sisters than the Red Sleeve Pavilion. Alright, now I announce the start of the Sword Sect and the Red Sleeve Pavilion's party. As he spoke, the man poured his wine and held it to the crowd.
Seeing the man holding the wine glass, everyone hurriedly picked up the wine glass.
However, Ye Tian, Bai Xiaoci and Tang Xiaoxiao did not have a Duan Cup. It's not that he has any opinions about the man, but Ye Tian has been holding both arms by Bai Xiaoxi and Tang Xiaoxiao from beginning to end. The two of them pinched each other, how could they have time to care if they drank or not.
"Hey. Have you two made enough trouble? Don't you see the wine glass?" Ye Tian couldn't bear it anymore, and said angrily.
However, Bai Xiaoxi and Tang Xiaoxiao still quarreled with themselves as if they hadn't heard it, and the more noisy they became, the worse it became. At this time, Ye Tian felt that there were two small trumpets that were constantly chirping in his ears.
"Ah" Ye Tian couldn't stand it anymore and shouted out all of a sudden. As soon as he shouted, Ye Tian immediately realized that it was now at the party, so he covered his mouth all of a sudden.
Ye Tian's shout really made the originally lively room fall silent. Dozens of pairs of eyes looked at Ye Tian in unison, and even the two Bai Xiaoci, who had been arguing, were quiet because of Ye Tian's sudden howl, and the two of them stared at Ye Tian with a pair of puzzled eyes.
Seeing the innocence of these two people, and the eyes that suddenly shouted a little blame for himself, Ye Tian came out happily. "I'm sorry guys, I'm a little unwell, go out and get some air. Ye Tian apologized to the people who were looking at him, pushed open the door, and walked out quickly.
Coming outside, Ye Tian finally felt quiet in his ears, and it seemed that the whole world was dumb. "What a blessing it is to enjoy the quiet. Ye Tian said with emotion, stretched his waist, held the back of his head with both hands, and walked aimlessly.
Finding a meadow where he could not hear the hustle and bustle of the party, Ye Tian stopped and sat down. Since he was a child, Ye Tian has not been interested in more lively things such as parties and parties, and always likes to find a quiet place to read the books taken out of the family library. Perhaps at that time, in addition to reading, I couldn't find anything more meaningful to live my life in.
The meadow was hidden from the woods, and the bright moon poured the bright moonlight on Ye Tian's cheeks through the dim branches. The originally handsome and immature face, with the passage of time, has experienced more things, has been weathered, exposed to the scorching sun, is facing the wind and rain, and has a little more maturity.
"I've been here for so long, but I didn't find such a beautiful night view. ”
Just as Ye Tian blended into this beautiful and charming night scene, a crisp voice came from behind him. If you have not seen the owner of the voice, you will definitely guess that this belongs to the voice of a beautiful woman. But that's not the case.
"Senior Brother Leng Feng, why did you come here? Isn't the party just beginning?" The person who came was the cold wind like a devil in the eyes of Ye Tian and the others.
Leng Feng didn't answer Ye Tian immediately, walked to Ye Tian's side leisurely, and walked down slowly, but there was no distance between the two people. Leng Feng put the jar of wine he brought out before coming out in front of Ye Tian, and said with his usual cold expression, "With such a beautiful night scene, isn't it a refreshing thing to drink some wine? ”
Leng Feng took out two bowls, filled them, and handed one bowl to Ye Tian. Ye Tian couldn't figure out that Leng Feng suddenly changed his style, but he still produced a bowl and drank the wine together with Leng Feng.
"Happy! But there is an inexplicable emptiness. Putting down the bowl, Ye Tian pouted and said.
"Emptiness? maybe. Leng Feng seemed to understand and nodded in agreement.
"Senior Brother Leng Feng, why do you feel empty, is it because you are the only one in the Reverse Sword Academy?"
"Maybe. But you, I don't see any emptiness. The little girl and the sect girl of the Red Sleeve Pavilion just now like to stick to you very much. And there are a group of good friends who say that they are empty, and I can really see it. ”
Ye Tian looked at Leng Feng, under the bright moonlight, Leng Feng's face was particularly attractive, unconsciously, Ye Tian always had a feeling that Leng Feng was a woman. If Leng Feng was really a woman, Ye Tian believed that Leng Feng would not lose to Ling Xueran and Fu Xiao. Perhaps, this is the crankiness of alcohol. Senior brother is senior brother, how can it be senior sister.
Seeing that Ye Tian didn't pay attention to himself, but stared closely, Leng Feng was obviously a little uncomfortable, turned his head, looked up at the night sky, and coughed.
The coughing sound pulled Ye Tian out of his thoughts. Ye Tian also felt a little embarrassed that he thought about this, and he also raised his head and stared at the air, without speaking.
In this way, the two stared at the night sky for a long time without saying anything. The atmosphere of awkwardness is getting deeper. Both sides wanted to get out of this embarrassment as soon as possible.
"We ......"
"The ......"
The two of them spoke at the same time, stretched out their hands at the same time, and coincidentally both of their hands reached out to the jar of wine, and at that moment, their hands touched together. Before they finished speaking, both of them quickly retracted their hands. The two who were already embarrassed are now even more embarrassed.
If it weren't for the fact that it was night, Ye Tian would definitely find something that he couldn't even think of and didn't dare to think about. Usually a cold wind as cold and serious as the devil actually blushes. Fortunately, at night, you can only see your face, but you can't see your expression clearly.
"That...... Brother Leng Feng, let's continue drinking. In order to alleviate the awkward atmosphere, he picked up the wine jar and poured the cold air and his own wine bowl full.
Leng Feng didn't look directly at Ye Tian, groped for the wine glass beside him, picked it up, and took it all in one gulp. Ye Tian is the same. After drinking a bowl of wine, the embarrassing atmosphere suddenly rose again, and Ye Tian had to fill two bowls again. Leng Feng didn't say anything, picked it up again, and drank it all.
In this way, soon a jar of wine was drunk by two people. The important thing is that this wine jar is relatively large, almost able to hold five catties. Although the wine used for the party is not too strong, it is not a large amount of wine, and it is all Ye Tian and cold wind in one sip
It's a lot.
The breeze blew, and both of them felt that their cheeks were hot and dry, and they had drunk too much alcohol and began to have a fever.
"Leng Feng, I want to ask you a question, why is there only one disciple in the Reverse Sword Academy, why doesn't the courtyard recruit apprentices?"
Leng Feng, who was also a little drunk, no longer cared about Ye Tian's identity, and said directly, "Actually, I don't know too much. It's only been two years since I joined the Sword Sect, but I've heard from veteran disciples of other academies that the dean was in danger when he was on a mission, and his beloved disciples all died to cover him. As if he didn't want to suffer such a blow again, the dean proposed the decision not to accept apprentices. ”
"A master who wants to lose an apprentice is afraid that another apprentice will lose his life again at his own hands, so he chooses not to recruit any more apprentices. Hey, it turns out that people who are at the pinnacle of the world can also have such a thing. After listening to Leng Feng's talk about the White Eyebrow Sword Emperor's refusal to accept disciples, he couldn't help but sigh.
"Hearing you say that, it seems that you must be a person with a lot of stories. ”
"Me...... StoriesThese things are all caused by people themselves, and whether they have or not depends on whether they are the same thing. By the way, who was the man sitting in the upper seat at the party just now?" Ye Tian did have a lot of stories, but he didn't want to tell them. Whenever I want to confide in those things that are hidden in my heart, I always feel very vulnerable, as if I am relying on it. In order not to mention those things, I can only choose to change the subject.
"Are you talking about Xia Qirui? He, he is the eldest disciple of the Putian Sword Emperor, the dean of the Ping Sword Academy, and his strength is estimated to be at the third rank of heaven. ”
In the Sword Sect, there are a total of four academies, but there are very many disciples in the four academies, not 10,000, but 8,000. As the saying goes, where there are people, there is competition, and there are highs and lows. Each of the four houses has its own first person. Zhou Tong, the first person in the Sword Academy, was at the peak strength of the second-grade heaven-level; Xia Qirui, the first person in the Pingjian Academy, had not long since he stepped into the third-grade heaven-level, and his strength was extremely strong; the first person in the Sword Academy, and also the first-person beauty in the Sword Sect, Ling Xueran, was still a fifth-grade ground-level strength a few months ago, but in just a few months, he mysteriously broke through to the peak strength of the second-grade heaven-level, which was on par with Zhou Tong.
In the end, the Reverse Sword Academy, needless to say, the first person must be Leng Feng. There is only one person in the huge Reverse Sword Academy, so how can the first person be said by others. Because Leng Feng is now the number one disciple of the White Eyebrow Sword Emperor, many people call him Senior Brother, but in fact, Leng Feng has only joined the Sword Sect for less than two years. It happened to be not long before the dissolution of the Reverse Sword Academy. If it comes to the strength of the cold wind, it is estimated that not many people in the entire Sword Sect will know about it, and it is estimated that in addition to those deans with terrifying strength, elder-level figures can see it. Therefore, the strength of the cold wind has also become a mystery in the entire Reverse Sword Academy.
"It turned out that it was the great disciple of the Ping Jian Academy. Xia Qirui makes people feel that they can't see through it. "From the moment he entered the Sword Sect, Ye Tian had seen the disciples of the other three academies, but he had not seen the disciples of the Ping Sword Academy, at most he had seen the Ping Jian Elder who was in charge of leading the newcomers that day. Today, the disciples with identities in the four academies have seen them all. In the end, the feeling for Ye Tian was that they had a thousand forms, and they were very different.
"Can't see through? Xia Qirui is quite righteous, modest and polite. However, this person has a narrow heart, and you should pay attention to it in the future. ”
"Ye Tian!"
When Leng Feng and Ye Tian were talking, Shang Bai's voice suddenly came from behind him. Turning around, Shang Bai panted and ran to the two of them, and said anxiously, "Ye Tian...... Go back and see. ”
"Brother Shang, what's going on?why are you so flustered?" Ye Tian asked suspiciously, holding Shang Bai.
"You go with me first, otherwise it's too late, I'm afraid that they will be in danger. ”
"Okay, Brother Shang, don't worry. We talked as we walked. After speaking, Shang Bai hurried towards the Stratosphere Tower with Ye Tian and Leng Feng. Along the way, Shang Bai briefly told Ye Tian the reason for the incident
