Chapter 40: The Eve
The speed of transmission of short and long messages is always faster than everyone imagined, and in the process of transmission, condiments will be constantly added by people with ill intentions, such as the three ring matches set by the Long family and the Xiao family.
In just two days, as for the cause of the ring match, many versions have sprung up in Duolun City like mushrooms after a rain, which can really be said to be everywhere, as many as cow hair, it seems that the people of Duolun City have reached the point of doing nothing all day, so they have pounced on the Long Xiao incident, is this really the case?
There are three versions that are widely circulated and are judged by most people in Duolun to be close to the truth.
The first one is that the heirs of the Xiao family are infatuated with the daughter of the Long family, and due to the hostile relationship between the two parties, they have no choice but to beg the elders of the family to make this decision, and I wish to hold the beauty back.
Immediately afterwards, the second highly credible version is that it originated from an agreement several generations ago, at that time, Xiao Long's two surnames were not hostile, on the contrary, they were close to each other back then, and they were allies and made an agreement in the ring, so time flies, the white horse flies, and the vast pointer of the years stops at the point agreed by the two parties that year, and the ring match is unveiled.
The last one, which is also the most outrageous in the wide circulation, it is said that after the heirs of the Xiao family and Long Shixin of the Long family made a private decision for life, the dry wood was fierce, and the love/desire was uncontrollable, and one day, he went to Chutian **, and went to Wushan together, and then lingered day after day, singing night and night, and finally, Long Shixin's stomach bulged, and he had no choice but to lead the two families to negotiate and set up this strategy to hide from the sky and the sea, in an attempt to attract people's eyes and ears and retain the dignity of both parties.
Of course, these are just the most widely outsourced of the many versions that have been circulated, and there are many, many, and many of them are even more obscene and dirty.
But no matter how many versions come out, it is far from the fact that it actually happened at the banquet of the Long family, and even has the meaning of going against the grain and confusing people, I don't know who is controlling the trend of public opinion in Duolun City, which is really reverie behind this.
......
Jarre Auction House, the ultimate luxury parlor.
The two figures sat opposite each other, each cross-legged, meditating and cultivating, visible to the naked eye, and the spiritual currents from the void converging into the thickness of a hair continued to pour into the two of them, and the speed was far faster than usual.
As soon as you enter the hall, you will notice that in the living room, what is hanging, placed, and displayed is nothing more than the things produced in the hands of famous masters of the empire, including magic crystal lamps, coffee tables, murals, chairs, etc., luxurious and noble, dazzling streamers, and long-term attention will even give birth to a dizzying and beautiful feeling. Compared with the array in the center of the meeting room, these delicate and precious handicrafts with the price of a city will still lose their color, because the center of the two figures is a "Sage Trace" with a special function.
The woman with a beautiful face and a stunning face slowly opened her eyes, finished her cultivation, and stared at the "Sage Heavenly Scar" in front of her for a while.
"Ahem. β
With a cough, Yu Weiting immediately woke up, with a little anger hanging on her eyebrows, "What are you doing?"
Yalta Jingman didn't answer her question, but instead came up with a new question, "Wei Ting, you are so obsessed with the 'Celestial Scar', you must not tell me that in the past three years, when you have been cultivating, you have not relied on it. β
"Am I like that stupid?" said Yu Weiting, pursed her lips.
"That's not for sure. Yalta Shiman said, and then moved on to another topic, leaving her without the slightest opportunity to argue: "Why is that?"
Yu Weiting didn't care about her slander, she just threw Yalta Jingman a big roll of her eyes, and said: "Although, for the past three years, I have been using its power all the time, but I am still shocked, Heavenly Scar Master, a unique darling of fate." β
Jingman suddenly fell silent, as if thinking about something.
After a long time, he said: "How many years, you still care, and at the same time, you are afraid, afraid of the Heavenly Scar Master." β
Yu Weiting smiled lightly and said, "It's been almost twelve years, Heavenly Scar Master, in the world, who doesn't have a fearful respect in their eyes?"
"But Wei Ting, the fear in your eyes is far beyond ordinary people, which is not in line with your identity. Yalta Jingman admonished, and then said, "Besides, even if this level of fear should appear, it should not appear in your eyes, which are in the eyes of Yin Qiqi. β
"Alright, alright, Jingman, change one. Yu Weiting shook her head, she didn't want to talk about this topic anymore, no matter what she thought in her heart, one thing was certain, Yu Weiting's heart sincerely praised the Heavenly Scar Master, as well as the "Sage Heavenly Scar" they created, such as the one in front of her, the special Heavenly Scar that can speed up the cultivation speed of martial artists.
"Good, good. Yalta Jingman is a little helpless, sometimes he thinks of doting inexplicably, he dotes on the woman in front of him too much, "Listen to the people below talking, tomorrow the Long family will have a ring match." β
Yu Weiting was a little surprised, isn't the heir of this high-ranking big family the most reluctant to devote his energy to trivial things on weekdays? At the level of Yu Weiting, what happened in the Long family is naturally a small matter, and it is the one with the lightest weight in the small things.
"What's the matter, my arrogant Miss Jingman has met someone who fell in love at first sight, for example, the young man in the Long family who has the appearance of a spirit moon elf. Yu Weiting thought about it for a moment and laughed in a playful tone.
Yalta Jingman didn't refute, just kept staring at her, her eyes flashing as deep as the sea, and the scene reflected in her pupils at the moment was anything from the world.
Seeing this, Yu Weiting exclaimed, and hurriedly stepped forward, her arms spread, clearly with an expression of reluctance to be a close friend.
"Wei Ting, I haven't seen you for three years, but your acting skills are getting better and better. Yalta Jingman said in one word, and Yu Weiting was hiding her thoughts.
Yu Weiting stuck out her little tongue and smiled playfully, "Jingman, why do you always guess what I think?"
Yalta Jingman's heart instantly rippled, and he silently thought: "Because of dependence." After Yu Weiting left her, she traveled to Duolun City alone, and the girl has always shown the world a charming and seductive attitude, but Yalta Jingman understands that this posture does not belong to her, this is just an experience, her innate identity and blood are destined to her, and she will always be noble and proud.
Jingman looked at the stunning girl in front of her, but what she showed herself was neither the innate nobility, nor the temptation that made the blood pump, but: free to do as she pleased, and sometimes a little playful.
This is not a kind of dependence.
"Tomorrow, we're going to see that ring match, too. Yalta Jingman said.
Yu Weiting was really suspicious this time, looking at her with ambiguous eyes, waiting for her explanation.
"Whatever you want. Jing Man said calmly: "I'm just curious about the origin of that Long Chuchen, that young man doesn't seem to be as rumored, he is probably a ...... Celestial Scar. β
Yu Weiting's face changed instantly.
......
The Long family, a plainly decorated room.
"Sister Si Tian, I have listened to your opinion for their family banquet, this time the ring match will not stop me!" a girl dressed in exotic costumes with a huge sapphire hanging from her earlobe exclaimed softly.
The woman who was called Si Tian did not answer immediately, but moved her eyes out the window, looking at the people of the Long clan who were constantly walking outside, and then said: "Xiao Hitomi, our two sisters have special identities, and it is not easy to choose the Long family as their residence, and attending the banquet held by the local family itself, what does this kind of behavior mean?
Lan Xiaotong pouted, looking puffing and puffing, looking cute for a moment, and suddenly her eyelashes fluttered.
"Sister Sitian, what do you say about that annoying guy in the Lei family. β
Lan Sitian looked at the girl who suddenly became strict and solemn, and suddenly, she smiled, she took a step forward, pinched the girl's little nose, and said, "What do you say, my sister didn't say that she wouldn't let you go, my sister was talking about that family banquet." β
The girl was stunned for a moment, and immediately reacted, pulling the corners of Lan Sitian's clothes and turning back and forth, and said, "I know that Sister Sitian is the best." β
Lan Sitian saw that the clothes that had been pulled by the girl were wrinkled again, and shook his head slightly, "Also, about Lei Yufei, even if he has misdeeds, you don't want to be unbalanced, the older generation of the Lei family will not teach him a lesson." β
The girl knew the meaning of Lan Sitian's words, the old antiques of the Lei clan did not say that they turned a blind eye to Lei Yufei's mistakes, but because that person's face was not easy to speak, it was usually that person who came forward to restrain him, "Sister Sitian, how terrifying that person is, why do you respect him so much." β
"He's ......" Lan Sitian paused, and suddenly didn't know what words to use to describe him, the means are all over the sky, the city is like an abyss, the mind is meticulous, the things are like gods, etc., it seems that they can all be used on him, but they all lack the accuracy and appropriateness of going deep into the soul.
"He...... In short, what kind of amazing and talented person Jie Tianjiao will be overshadowed in front of him!" In Lan Sitian's tone, there was no praise or disparagement, it was very pertinent and fair, and there was admiration, of course, it was more of a pity that made people scratch their heads.
"What kind of person is Jie Tianjiao, does it include Sister Si Tian?" Lan Xiaotong asked.
Lan Sitian smiled freely and replied, "Although I don't want to admit it, but the outside world thinks so? β
"I've heard it, but I don't believe it, after all, this Roland Continent belongs to a martial artist, but that person doesn't seem to have gone far on the path of a martial artist. β
"Stop. β
Lan Sitian made a pause gesture and thought to himself, "How can you know about this?"
Lan Xiaotong naturally didn't think deeply, and immediately changed the topic.
"Sister Si Tian, how can your friend's commission continue? But since she didn't take it to heart, it means ......"
Before he finished speaking, he was cut off by Lan Sitian.
"Hitomi, my sister always has a hunch that this trip, this commission will have unexpected gains. β
...... The other side
Close to the forbidden place, there is a beautiful area where flowers are in full bloom and compete for beauty, quiet and remote, and it is a resting resort.
At this moment, a beautiful figure sat cross-legged and among the flowers, silently cultivating, a young man stood silently beside her, his eyes closed, as if he was meditating, everything around him had nothing to do with it, in fact, a picture had been clearly outlined in the young man's spiritual sea.
In the picture, with that beautiful shadow as the center, Fang Yuanzhang Xu, the aura of heaven and earth collided and crossed irregularly, gradually disappearing, and the huge aura energy in the void was not replenished at all, therefore, the aura that was really guided into the body by the girl was very small and almost useless, in other words, this cultivation was in vain.
The girl exhaled lightly, and her beautiful eyes, which seemed to hide all the tenderness in the world, opened, smiled miserably, and said, "It's a pity, this time it's the snow jam again." β
At the same time, she opened her eyes and the young man beside her, at that moment, it was like endless stars scattered among them, brilliant like brocade, which made people sigh, but how could a pair of men's eyes be so magnificent and bright, so that the noble ladies who boasted of being the best in the world and had the face of the world could put there.
Long Shixin's corner of her eyes just caught this fleeting moment, and she lowered her head, not knowing what she was thinking?
"Sister Shixin, your heart is in turmoil, and it's not suitable for cultivation. The teenager gave a review.
Long Shixin raised her head, looked directly at the young man, suddenly got up, leaned over again, sniffed the delicate flowers closest to her, and felt the refreshing fresh fragrance of flowers, the girl's heart was a little irritable because of the gossip and gradually calmed down.
Slender as a boneless little hand poked out, any woman has a side of loving beauty and climbing flowers, Long Shixin is the same, wanting to take advantage of the situation to pick this delicate flower, suddenly, the hand stayed at the source of the fragrance of flowers less than an inch, and laughed at himself slightly, and said: "Long Shixin, you usually say that you love flowers, is this the way to love flowers?"
"Sister Shixin. The young man looked at the girl who was a little stunned in front of the flowers, and couldn't help but speak.
The girl rarely did not pick up the stubble, still stared at the flowers in front of her, and said a word without warning.
"Chu Chen, do you believe those rumors in Duolun City?" "Why did you suddenly ask about this?" Long Chuchen looked a little overwhelmed and thought to himself.
The girl on the opposite side turned around, her expression inexplicably depressed, "It seems that Chu Chen also believes it?"
In fact, the "those sayings" in the girl's mouth only want to refer to the last of the three widely circulated sayings, but the content is really debauchery/debauchery, explicit and difficult to describe, how could Long Shixin give up the reserve of being a young girl, and the reckless and straightforward theme? I am afraid that any young woman will choose Long Shixin's approach!
Long Chuchen thought about the frustration on the girl's expression, and the gossip that had been rumored in recent days suddenly flashed in his mind, and he realized it in an instant.
"Sister Shixin, what do you mean by this!" Long Chuchen looked like he had just understood, "How could I believe that what happened at the family banquet, I witnessed it with my own eyes, and the truth of the facts has long been in my heart, especially that statement, I really hate to break the body of the person who spreads rumors into thousands of pieces and cut it with a thousand knives." β
At this point, the young man narrated, and there was already a look of anger on his face, he was indeed angry, and it was conceivable how much that kind of absurd and extravagant statement hurt a young woman who was in her teens and had no personnel.
Long Shixin automatically filtered out the thunderous anger of the teenager, and she got the ideal answer in her heart, and in the blink of an eye, the haze dissipated, and she burst into laughter.
One wondered if the reason why the girl was unable to meditate and cultivate was because of the short flow that was widely spread among the population of Duolun City, or maybe there was another reason.
Although the young man is conceited to understand Long Shixin, he can't guess this kind of repeatedly changing girl's mood no matter what, and there is a proverb in the Roland Continent that is appropriately analyzed: the heart of a young girl is like a juvenile July sky.
Putting aside such emotions, the young man asked, "Sister Shixin, aren't you worried about tomorrow's ring match?"
Long Shixin casually pulled a lock of jet-black hair from the back of her head, put it in front of the two towering peaks on her chest, and replied casually: "In the ring match, my sister has reason to believe in the clansmen! Our dragon is leisurely, and the neutral dragon is merciful, even if there is resistance on the side of Elder Longtan, this is enough." "The naΓ―ve imagination of the girl.
Long Chuchen didn't show too much emotion, in fact, with Long Shixin's experience of dealing with things like a blank sheet of paper, it was not easy to come up with the fact that the Longtan Elders would add resistance.
"Yes, Long is leisurely, and the two battles of Long Shengpian are basically sure victories. The young man said quietly.
Long Shixin was a little happy and said, "Chu Chen, do you think so too?"
The smile unfolded, the young man nodded slightly, and what was different from the look on his face was that the hand behind him was clenched tightly, and even the green tendon lines were gradually emerging.
