Chapter 241: The Boy in Blue
Hearing that Ling Jiuqiu did not refuse, the smile on Fang Qingyi's face became brighter and brighter.
In the square outside the gate of the Martial Arts Academy, there are some horse-drawn carriages, which are generally used by students when they travel, just like the ancient version of a taxi.
The two got into a carriage and headed in a certain direction.
Tongyuan City is quite large, and there are many places of interest and historical sites, and the two spent a day visiting only a few of them.
Towards evening, the two sat leisurely on a bench beside the square in front of a tower.
At this time, a flaming red lantern was hung and dotted around the square, and the flaming red candlelight emitted through the red lantern paper added a bit of fiery atmosphere to the square.
The crowd was bustling.
The laughter was endless.
"I heard that you have been in Tongyuan City for half a year, and you have spent most of your time cultivating, and you have come out to play once in a while, do you feel a lot more relaxed?"
Fang Qingyi tilted her head and looked at Ling Jiuqiu beside her, the smile on her face was delicate and lovely, with a hint of gentleness and grace.
"Yes! I never seemed to be so relaxed, the strings in my heart were always tight, and I was always thinking about how to get stronger. ”
Ling Jiuqiu sighed.
What he said in this sentence is not only this life, but also the previous life of Shui Lanxing.
In his memory, he was an orphan when he was very young, and he had no memory of how young he was, only that he had been begging for a living under the control of a gang for as long as he could remember.
There are quite a few orphans who are also controlled by gangs, but only about a dozen exist at the same time.
Among them, some people were disabled and begged every day, and some people relied on selling cuteness and abduction, and all the money they got was taken away by the gang, leaving only some leftovers to feed their stomachs.
Once there is not enough income for any given day, there will be no food for that day and you can only go hungry.
For ordinary people, they may not have really tried the feeling of being hungry in their lives, and even if they did, it was just a certain meal not eaten.
But for those orphans who can barely feed every day, with yellow faces and thin muscles, and malnutrition, hunger is the norm, and there are not a few who starve to death directly.
One day without food, you may unknowingly huddle in a corner and die that night, and then be disposed of by the gang.
Under such a dark and desperate pressure of survival, Ling Jiuqiu in his previous life burst out with amazing potential, with his cleverness, coupled with a rather delicate face, he cheated a lot of money for the gang for a period of time, so as to get a relatively good treatment, at least to ensure that his limbs were sound and the food was relatively rich.
It wasn't until later that he slowly grew up.
At the age of thirteen, he had always behaved well-behaved, and found an opportunity to poison most of the gang members, and since then he has completely escaped control.
The experience of his childhood made Ling Jiuqiu develop a selfish, indifferent and ruthless character, and it also made him insecure forever.
So, he tried everything to get stronger.
In this life, with such a magical martial soul as the Soul Refining Ding, this is the best help for him to reach the peak of martial arts, and it is also the best opportunity to become a strong man, of course he must firmly grasp it.
Not to mention that it's just the current Spirit Sea Realm, even if he reaches the Innate Realm, Vientiane Realm, or even a higher realm one day, as long as he doesn't reach the absolute strongest, he will never relax.
From the day he crossed, he had such a belief in his heart, and the strings in his heart had been tightened, and he did not dare to slack off.
When these memories came to mind, Jiuqiu's mood was much heavier.
Fang Qingyi came over, a fair and soft plain hand touched his brow, smoothed his frowning brow, and said softly: "Don't put too much pressure on yourself, although I don't know what you've experienced, I know one thing, cultivating to become stronger is to live a better life, not to replace life." ”
"At every stage of life, there are things to enjoy at this stage, and once you miss it, you will never have a chance to do it again."
"The road of martial arts is endless, even if you try your best to become the strongest, but when you look back on the road ahead, you find that in thousands of years, you are the only one who walks alone, without any color embellishment outside of martial arts, and there are no friends and relatives to share the joy, what is the point of such a monotonous and boring life?"
Ling Jiuqiu was stunned and looked at Fang Qingyi's pretty face in front of him.
He didn't expect that Fang Qingyi, who was a rich lady and had never encountered setbacks in life, would be able to say such philosophical words.
"Thank you, I see."
Ling Jiuqiu suddenly smiled and said.
Fang Qingyi's face turned red, and the courage that suddenly appeared just now seemed to dissipate out of thin air all of a sudden, and she quickly withdrew her palm and sat back.
That's when it happened.
A flirtatious voice sounded from not far away.
"Yo! In broad daylight, a young man and woman were so shameless and so intimate in the crowded square. ”
Ling Jiuqiu's face turned cold, and he looked in the direction where the voice came from, only to see a young man in a blue martial arts uniform walking slowly, looking at him with a defiant face.
The blush on Fang Qingyi's face disappeared suddenly, and she looked at the comer with an unhappy expression.
The difference between men and women in this world is not serious, the atmosphere is also open-minded, and it is very common to be a little intimate in broad daylight.
The other party's words are simply deliberately finding fault.
The two played together for a whole day, and now it was the time to cultivate their feelings, but the atmosphere was ruined, which was equivalent to being directly disturbed by someone when they were about to pick the fruit after hard work planting trees and fertilizing them.
This made Fang Qingyi's heart full of anger.
"Get out of here!"
Ling Jiuqiu snorted coldly.
The blue-clothed young man's face also turned cold: "Boy, do you know what the idiom of trouble comes from the mouth?" ”
"I'm not your father, and I have no obligation to educate you about the meaning of an idiom, even if I'm your father, I'm not in the mood to teach you at this time."
The blue-clothed boy laughed angrily: "What a stinky boy with sharp teeth and a sharp mouth, do you have the guts to duel with me." ”
Before Ling Jiuqiu could speak, Fang Qingyi on the side hurriedly pulled the corner of his clothes and said in a low voice: "Jiuqiu, this person is obviously deliberately looking for fault, it is likely that it is to provoke you to duel, maybe there will be some conspiracy, you be careful." ”
Ling Jiuqiu said in a low voice, "I understand. ”
He did see that something was wrong with the other party.
There were so many people in the square, and the other party just found them, and put on a provocative posture, not against them.
Of course, there has never been a shortage of arrogant and domineering second ancestors in this world, and there are not no people who find fault for no reason.
can make Jiuqiu and Fang Qingyi's clothes not bad, at least at a glance, you can know that they are not easy targets to bully.
