It has been more than half a month since Li Fenglan left Xiangyang, and it is very close to the date of the decisive battle she said.

In the main study of the Thorn Gate, Shen Xiangzhi, Feng Yao, Li Fenglan, and Han Lu sat facing each other.

"I don't know what Master Zhiyuan meant by this, but I know that his original intention must have something to do with us." Li Fenglan didn't say any polite words after arriving, went straight to the topic, and directly discussed the matter of the martial arts conference.

Shen Xiangzhi didn't speak, and Feng Yao said with a smile: "Miss Li, this game is a conspiracy, but it's not easy to break." ”

"It's true, but it's not unbreakable."

Shen Xiangzhi suddenly spoke: "The time of this martial arts conference is likely to be in February next year, and it will not affect our affairs." ”

"But defeating Night Feather Xiaozhu is not our ultimate goal, we still have to dig out the people behind it. Once the night rain is knocked down, the mastermind behind the scenes will definitely make a move. If we are delayed by the martial arts conference at this time, our chances will be much slimmer. ”

Shen Xiangzhi nodded: "What Miss Li said makes sense, but as Master Feng said, we can't avoid this game." During the martial arts conference, all kinds of grievances and grievances have to be pushed back, and we are destined to lose this time. ”

"But there's still a way to make up for it." Li Fenglan's eyes were resolute.

Feng Yao laughed "haha": "Miss Li's idea is very bold." ”

"The younger generation can only think of such a way."

Shen Xiangzhi interrupted the two: "Master Feng, Miss Li, if you have something to say, don't play dumb riddles." ”

Li Fenglan nodded: "Okay, then I'll say it directly...... Master Shen, can you come and be the leader of this martial arts alliance? ”

Shen Xiangzhi has this qualification. Thorn Gate has always done very decent things, and Shen Xiangzhi has done more good things than Qiao Fei since he came to power. During this time, although the focus of the Jianghu people was on Li Fenglan, what Shen Xiangzhi did was also remarkable, and he made a name for himself in just two years. Now when people in the rivers and lakes mention Shen Xiangzhi, no one thinks that she is a fledgling little girl, and they all think that she is an old Jianghu who has been in the rivers and lakes for at least 20 years.

But who would have thought that Shen Xiangzhi was only in his early twenties this year.

Shen Xiangzhi pondered for a long time, then raised his head and asked, "Master Feng, what do you think?" ”

"It's feasible," Feng Yao nodded, "If the sect master becomes the leader of the martial arts alliance, at least what we do in the future can have a certain degree of legitimacy, and we can also help the Bai family cover up some things." ”

"Okay," Shen Xiangzhi replied crisply, "When the time comes, I'll try my best." ”

As he was talking, he heard someone shouting outside the door: "Door master, what's going on!" ”

Shen Xiangzhi asked, "What's the matter?" ”

"Ask Mrs. Xu to see you."

"Please come in."

"Yes."

When Li Fenglan was still thinking about "who is Mrs. Xu", Ayahan had already pushed the door and ran in, she grabbed Li Fenglan's hand who had not yet come out of her doubts, and said happily: "Fenglan! What are you doing here? ”

Li Fenglan suddenly realized, oh, Ayahan has already married Xu Qingchen, isn't it Mrs. Xu.

Li Fenglan replied with a smile: "I just happened to talk to the master of the Shen Sect, Ayahan, aren't you in Yangzhou?" How did you come to the Thorn Gate? ”

The reason was a little difficult to say, and Ayahan had to smile awkwardly: "I'm afraid that he won't be able to handle things alone, so I'll follow." ”

At this time, Shen Xiangzhi stood up and said, "Let's talk about it first, Master Feng, you let someone arrange a place for Miss Li and them." ”

"Okay," Feng Yao also stood up and said with a smile, "I won't disturb you young people chatting." ”

With that, he walked out of the house.

At this time, Ayahan noticed that Han Lu was also there, and her eyes immediately widened: "Twilight? You...... Coming back? ”

Hanlu stood up and said with a smile, "Sister-in-law, I haven't seen you for a long time." ”

Ayahan was a little puzzled: How do you call your sister-in-law? Even if he shouted with Li Fenglan, he should also call his sister.

Li Fenglan said to Shen Xiangzhi: "Master Shen, I still have something to say to you. ”

Shen Xiangzhi said: "Let's talk about it in the back garden...... Ayahan, come too. ”

Ayahan was a little embarrassed: "Won't it bother you guys to talk about business?" ”

"No, it's all my own."

Li Fenglan said to Han Lu: "If your daughter's family is concerned, don't come with me." ”

Aya said with a smile: "You wait in the courtyard for a while, Brother Qingchen will come in a while, let him take you around." ”

Hanlu had no choice but to say, "It's okay." ”

The three women walked out of the courtyard one after the other, and Han Lu stood alone in the courtyard in a daze, and said in her heart: What else does Li Fenglan have to tell Shen Men? Isn't that all said and done?

Just thinking about it, I saw Xu Qingchen and a man like an iron tower walking into the courtyard.

After Xu Qingchen saw Han Lu, he had an expression with Ayahan, and clenched his fists and arched his hands: "Brother Duyun, you ...... Back to Miss Li? ”

Han Lu smiled, saluted solemnly, and said, "Senior Brother Hanlu, I have seen Senior Brother Xu. ”

Xu Qingchen was even more puzzled: "Senior brother...... You...... Are you really in the same door as me? ”

"That's right, I just met Master a few days ago."

"Master, how is his old man?"

"It's tough."

Xu Qingchen introduced Xiong San: "This is the twilight I often mention to you...... Oh yes, it's called Cold Dew now. ”

Xiong San said with a grin: "I know, I know, you are Miss Li's blue-faced confidant, and I often hear Qingchen mention you." Don't be stunned, come up to my house, I have prepared two jars of good wine! Today, Yang Dagongzi is in good health, let him come with him! ”

…

"Oh," Ayahan suddenly realized, "No wonder he calls me sister-in-law, then he is indeed from Brother Qingchen's side." ”

Li Fenglan held Ayahan's arm and complained: "You don't know how stupid he is, do you know what happened in Xiangyang some time ago?" He's the cold dew. ”

Ayahan nodded approvingly: "Their brothers and sisters are all virtuous, and they are too pedantic. ”

"Yes."

Shen Xiangzhi walked alone in front, and the two little sisters in the back held hands and chatted happily, completely forgetting that there was another person in front of them.

It wasn't until they arrived in the back garden that Shen Xiangzhi said "arrived", and the two of them came back to their senses, oh, she was also there.

The back garden is still the same as before, with flowers and plants, desks, and a few chairs.

The three of them sat down, and the atmosphere was a little awkward.

Shen Xiangzhi asked, "Miss Li, don't you have something to say to me?" ”

Li Fenglan came back to her senses: "Yes......" The reason why Li Fenglan felt embarrassed was because what she wanted to say to Shen Xiangzhi was not important, nor was it formal. But Shen Xiangzhi is a person who does not smile, and his every move is very graceful, which makes Li Fenglan not easy to speak.

After hesitating, Li Fenglan still said: "Actually, when we met in the Medicine Immortal Valley last year, I wanted to talk to the Shen Sect Master, but we weren't familiar with each other at that time. ”

Shen Xiangzhi said intentionally or unintentionally: "We have only seen the second time now." ”

Li Fenglan was convinced, and someone who couldn't speak better than Dusk Yun was found. If this book is ranked as "can't speak", Amber is fourth, Xu Qingchen is third, Duyun is second, and Shen Xiangzhi is first.

This sentence choked Li Fenglan enough, causing her to not know how to speak the next sentence.

Who would have thought that Shen Xiangzhi took the initiative to find the steps: "But I always know more than the first time." ”

Li Fenglan breathed a sigh of relief and said slowly: "Actually, it's not appropriate for me to say this, it would be much better if Master Feng said it." ”

"What?"

"Master Shen, you are a person...... It's too straightforward, although there is usually no joy or sorrow, but once you have an idea in your heart, it's too easy to show it. I'm sure everyone around you can guess what's going on in your heart...... This is harmful to what we are doing now, and I hope that the Shen Sect Master can hide it more. ”

She thought that Shen Xiangzhi would be unconvinced after saying this, who would have thought that Shen Xiangzhi would think about it seriously and responded: "Indeed, Master Feng also said about me, but unfortunately this problem is not easy to change." ”

Li Fenglan hurriedly said: "Just be clear in your heart, pay more attention, there is no need to change." ”

"Okay."

With that, the three fell into a long silence.

Although Ayahan chatted with Shen Xiangzhi a few times, it was not painful, and she didn't understand Shen Xiangzhi's temper at all. Not to mention Li Fenglan, she has only met people twice in total.

was silent for a long time, and just when Li Fenglan was about to find an excuse to slip away, Shen Xiangzhi suddenly said: "Miss Li's dress now is not as elegant as last year. ”

"Huh?" Li Fenglan didn't react.

Ayahan looked at Li Fenglan and said in surprise: "Yes, you wear earrings, you are indeed better dressed than before." ”

Li Fenglan reacted, Shen Xiangzhi was indeed talking about what she was wearing, so she had to say, "Eh...... If you want to get married, you have to dress up somewhat. ”

"Miss Li is beautiful, you don't have to bother to dress up."

"Over...... It's over, it's so-so. Li Fenglan was a little confused: why did she suddenly comment on her appearance and dress? Is there any deep intention?

Ayahan saw that the two were struggling to chat, so she had to make a round: "The three daughters of the predecessors of the Sword Immortal are all very beautiful. ”

Shen Xiangzhi nodded: "Indeed, especially the Jade Girl." ”

Li Fenglan understood, she realized, the current Shen Xiangzhi is looking for a topic to chat! And it's also looking for a topic between girls!

This made Li Fenglan feel too incredible, Shen Xiangzhi gave her the feeling of being like a stone, hard, angular and emotionless. There shouldn't be anything like a daughter in her world.

But now Li Fenglan is very sure that Shen Xiangzhi is trying to gossip with the two of them!

Li Fenglan, who understood, suddenly laughed, which made Ayahan and Shen Xiangzhi wonder.

Li Fenglan asked with a smile: "Master Shen likes black very much." ”

Shen Xiangzhi looked at his black clothes and nodded: "It's easier to take care of." ”

Li Fenglan nodded: "It's the same as what I thought before, wearing so many bits and pieces is very troublesome to take care of." ”

Ayahan nodded approvingly: "I used to like to wear neatly, but after I met Brother Qingchen, I always wanted to dress up beautifully, and I was very happy when he was happy." ”

Shen Xiangzhi asked coldly, "Miss Li is the same, right?" When I met someone I liked, I started dressing up. ”

Li Fenglan was a little embarrassed: "It's not all because of this...... That, Master Shen, how old are you this year? ”

"Twenty-three, what's wrong?"

“…… I always feel that you are older, not that you are old, but that you are too stable. ”

"Yes."

Ayahan asked, "Door master, haven't you ever thought about finding a wishful man?" ”

Shen Xiangzhi replied: "No, I don't have enough time. ”

The conversation in the small garden continued, but not as awkward as before.
