Tick tock!

The night is getting darker, and outside the window, the soft moonlight that penetrates the clouds can be faintly seen in the dark sky.

In the dark night, the drizzle beats on the roof like silk, bringing bursts of soft percussion music, adding a touch of melancholy to this quiet night.

However, this night, for the people of the Lu family, it will definitely be a sleepless night, overnight, Lu Hong, the head of the Lu family, seems to be a little old, and his already gray hair is now stained with a layer of indelible vicissitudes.

Lu Li, the successor of the Lu family, who was recognized by everyone not long ago, has completely become a waste after tonight, everyone knows that although the handsome young man still did not go down in the end, but such a heavy blow, even if the Lu family does their best to heal it, the trauma from the soul will make him completely depressed.

The drizzle fell lightly, the Lu family, by the pond.

In the night breeze, there is still a clear pool surface that ripples with a slight cool air, without the reflection of the moonlight, with the help of a few spar lamps erected upright by the pool, you can still glimpse the floating circles of water in the pool.

Tranquility! Serenity.

At this moment, in such a melancholy night, Gu Chen stood alone on a piece of bluestone, looking at the sparkling pool surface, and pondered.

He knew that what he had done to Lu Li before might have been overstepping, even if Lu Li was really disrespectful, he would not be subjected to such inhuman torture.

What's more, if it weren't for Lu Qi's crying at the last moment, he wouldn't have doubted that Lu Li would have been a cold corpse now.

Why did his state of mind at that time change so drastically, that kind of angry and bloodthirsty feeling, it can be shaped like madness.

Could it be that I really like Xiao Nizi?

He thought so, but as soon as the idea came to an end, he immediately rejected it.

You know, he won't claim to be a single-minded person, not to mention that in the far south, there is a woman in white who is waiting for him, even if there is no Qianduxue, he only has the purest brother-sister affection for Lu Qi.

"Well, it seems time to calm down. ”

He sighed, lowered his head, and looked at the subtle ripples on the surface of the clarifier, and his mood was a little calmer.

Stomp!

Slow footsteps sounded behind him, and his feet stepped on the silted puddle, bringing out the sound of a very heart-tugging splash.

didn't look back, listening to the footsteps echoing in his ears, he smiled bitterly, and naturally knew that the person who came was Lu Qi's little girl.

"Thank you!"

The gentle female voice of the warbler came from behind her, and the voice was obviously mixed with the slightest sadness that did not settle down.

"It's so late, why don't you rest? It's raining, be careful of catching a cold. Gu Chen still maintained that posture and said warmly.

"Didn't you sleep too?" Lu Qi stepped forward slowly and stood side by side with him: "Tonight's incident, thank you, I didn't expect the second brother to really do such a thing, even if he was suspicious of him before, but after all, he is a brother and sister, and he won't do that if he wants to, who ......knows?"

She buried her head in her eyes, her eyes full of pain.

Gu Chen tilted his head and glanced at her distressedly, according to her age, if she was an ordinary woman, she should still enjoy uninhibited happiness, but she had already taken on the responsibility that should not be borne by her.

"Tired, if you don't want to stay here, just say it. ”

"Hehe, tired, but I can't walk, anyway, this is also my home. Lu Qi said bitterly.

Gu Chen nodded and didn't say any more.

"My father has already ordered someone to put the second brother in the dungeon, and he also told me, I hope you don't get angry with the Lu family because of the second brother's matter. ”

After groaning for a long time, as if feeling the coolness in the night breeze, Lu Qi tightened his robe and said.

"No, this makes Uncle Lu rest assured, after tonight, the days will still be the same, and tonight is just a small episode. ”

"Well, thank you!"

"Hehe, you've already said it. ”

Looking at this little girl who was already shivering in the cool breeze, Gu Chen couldn't bear it, and wanted to take off his robe and drape it on her, but he was afraid that he would be misunderstood more deeply, so he had to do this.

"Alright, let's go back and rest early, and wait until tomorrow. ”

"What about you?"

"I'm back to my room, too!"

"Good. ”

With that, the two glanced at each other, and then walked towards their respective rooms together.

......

The next day, early in the morning, when Gu Chen had just woken up from his meditation, he noticed that a person seemed to be standing outside the door.

Standing up, he hid the strength of his body, and with a slight wave of his right palm, a soft force instantly opened the door.

"Hey, Uncle Lin, is there something important so early?"

At a glance, the person standing upright in front of the door like a gun is Lu Qi's butler Uncle Lin, in this Lu Mansion, if he still has some good feelings for anyone, except for Lu Qi's little girl, Uncle Lin in front of him is one.

"Hehe, it's still early, I'm embarrassed to wake you up, I'm afraid you're still resting. Uncle Lin scratched his head, raised his feet and entered the room.

"Gu Chen, Miss asked me to bring you a message, when you wake up, you will go directly to the workshop, saying that there will be an important guest today. ”

As soon as he entered the door, before he had time to sit down, Uncle Lin said directly.

"Oh, guest?", Gu Chen raised his eyebrows, and then nodded slightly as if he had thought of something.

In this Tianyan City, Lu Qi can be a guest, and the meeting place is still in the workshop, the only thing that can be explained is the person from the royal family who won Chen Qi's sword in the first place.

However, he didn't expect this person to come so quickly, and originally thought that he would have to wait for a while, at least until he finished smelting the rest of the Chenqi swords, and it was not too late to come.

"Got it, Uncle Lin, I'll go over now. He smiled: "Oh, by the way, I have to trouble you to wake up that guy Ren Yao for me and let him go with me." I guess this guy is still sleeping with his head covered. ”

"Ren Yao, do you mean that strangely dressed young man? He also went to the workshop with Miss early in the morning, and I wondered why it wasn't you who accompanied Miss today, but that strange man. Uncle Lin replied, and when Ren Yao was mentioned, he also had an indescribable wonderful expression on his face.

Looking at his appearance, it was more like he was a little afraid of this dead ladyboy.

"Oh, he's already followed the third lady?" Gu Chen's face suddenly showed a hint of surprise: "It seems that this guy has the potential to be a bodyguard." ”

He said so, and immediately, he simply cleaned up, and accompanied by Uncle Lin, he went out of the Lu Mansion together and walked out of the city.
