Chapter 34: The drunkard doesn't mean to drink
Just when Xiao Xuan's fingers moved slightly, he suddenly felt his heart move, and there was a breeze from somewhere inside the courtyard gate.
Naturally, the breeze will not come out of nowhere.
Because there was a man there.
Looking at the young man who showed an extraordinary temperament while walking, and watching his figure fall completely into those clear and bottomless eyes, Xiao Xuan was silent, his right hand moved slightly, and finally calmed down.
His instincts told him that he was no match for the young man.
What Xiao Xuan knew later proved that his instincts were as correct as ever.
Of course, he couldn't be that person's opponent, because he was Ke Zimo, the first disciple of the contemporary dean of Qingyun Academy, and a cultivator at the peak of the distraction realm.
How can an ordinary teenager who has not completed cultivation be the opponent of such a person? Even if the so-called ordinary teenager may not be really ordinary.
Xiao Xuan's gaze fell on the pale cyan long sword beside his waist, and his face finally became a little solemn.
The avenue in front of Qingyun Academy extends to the main hall of the inner courtyard, which is paved with black square bricks, and blends with the walls of the pavilions and courtyards of the academy, which are dominated by Qing and Xuan.
Dressed in a pale white robe, with black hair tied up in a bun, and his hands behind his back, he walked from the straight avenue in front of the courtyard.
came to Xiao Xuan and stood still.
Ke Zimo didn't look at the middle-aged porter who was already as white as paper at the moment, and his fat and swollen body was shaking like chaff, he introduced himself softly, and then looked at Xiao Xuanwen and said with a smile: "I didn't expect you to come so soon." ”
The first disciple of the dean, that is at least a cultivator of the Distraction Realm. Xiao Xuan silently calculated in his heart, and after finding that he didn't have any possibility of resisting the other party, he gave up the idea of looking for trouble again.
Xiao Xuan nodded, did not speak, but looked at the fat man.
His gaze was calm, and he didn't see any emotion.
However, the senior brother of Qingyun Academy was naturally not an ordinary person, and he knew what the other party wanted to express with just one look, and after a little thought, he said, "The door of the academy seems to have not been repaired for a long time. ”
Xiao Xuan understood, and didn't care about it anymore.
The fat man froze on the spot as if struck by lightning, and even forgot to tremble with fear.
Only the people in Qingyun Academy know what kind of place the dean's first apprentice is. He couldn't decide what kind of gatehouse the academy would use, but what he said carried more weight than those who could make a decision.
He suddenly felt that the spring dusk in March was extremely cold.
When he actually stood in front of the academy, Xiao Xuanfang realized that this academy was really big. In the distance, the trees are lined with greenery, the blue-gray eaves are hidden and disappear during the period, and there is a moist smell wafting in the air.
There should be a big lake in this academy.
Xiao Xuan and Ke Zimo walked side by side, and the moment they stepped into the gate of the academy, there was a melodious bell in the twilight in the distance.
It was the bell of the end of class.
The seowon, which had been so quiet that only the sound of birds returning to their nests could be heard, suddenly became lively, and countless white courtyards poured out from one building to another. Those young boys and girls, or in groups of three or five, or walking alone, everyone's face was filled with the breath of youth.
From time to time, someone passed by the two people walking side by side, some bowed respectfully to Ke Zimo, and some of the white-haired professor nodded to him, and then Ke Zimo also smiled and nodded.
Of course, some people also noticed the short-clothed boy beside him.
The students and professors looked at Xiao Xuan with different eyes, some curious, some contemptuous, and some disdainful, but none of them would show those bad emotions very clearly.
Not because they were afraid of this shabby-dressed teenager, and even more so that their hearts were as wide as the sky and could accommodate everything, but because there was a senior brother from Qingyun Academy standing next to this young man.
It was as if all the people and things around this young man had become different because of him.
"Your prestige here is really high. The two came to a three-story building with white walls and black tiles, pushed the door in, Xiao Xuan turned his head sideways to look at Ke Zimo and said, "It can be seen that your junior sisters and brothers all trust and respect you very much. ”
In fact, he wanted to say more than that, in fact, during the interrupted time from the courtyard gate to the small building, he had already vaguely felt that the true meaning of the jade talisman given by this kind-faced young man that day might not be as simple as he said.
Xiao Xuan didn't know if there was any relationship between Mu Xiaoyu and Qingyun Academy now, and he didn't care if there would be any form of connection between the two in the future, what he cared about was that it seemed that what Qingyun Academy really cared about was not the little girl from the north, but himself.
He wasn't going to ask, because the answer would soon be given by the other party.
Ke Zimo shook his head, smiled slightly, and did not directly respond to the other party's seemingly complimentary words, but led Xiao Xuan into a small room in the inner hall.
The layout in the room is very simple, simple to the point of incredible, only a bamboo lacquer table, a pot of green bamboo in the corner of the wall, two bamboo chairs, and no other arrangement.
However, there is a beast-shaped copper stove on the case, and I don't know what spices are burning in it, and green smoke is billowing from the small holes of the copper furnace.
"As I'm sure you've guessed, I deliberately wanted to invite you here today. ”
Ke Zimo motioned for Xiao Xuan to sit down, but he didn't take a seat.
"Then you can tell the truth at the inn that day," Xiao Xuan glanced at it and said calmly.
Ke Zimo smiled slightly: "There are some words that must be said on special occasions in order to appear more true, I am sure that if I had said it to you there that day, you would not believe it and would not come." ”
"Actually, I'm not lying, that girl named Mu Xiaoyu is indeed the person we are looking for, but it is very coincidental that I saw you again in that small inn. ”
Xiao Xuan frowned and said, "It sounds like your purpose is to let me enter this room and sit here?"
Ke Zimo smiled undeniably, pointed to the direction of the entrance to the room, and said, "It's not because of this room, but because the person who wants to see you is not me, and it is impossible for that person to go to where you are, so I can only invite you here, I hope you don't get angry." ”
Xiao Xuan was not used to this way of speaking, like a stubborn old gentleman, so he rolled his eyes and said, "In front of a cultivator in the distraction realm, how can a young man from my small inn be qualified to be angry. ”
