Volume 1 The Prince Travels Back to Kyoto Chapter 43 Meng Yiyao
Through the doorway, Lin Xiuyuan came to a courtyard full of purple and gold flowers, and he walked aimlessly on the corridor, finally breathing a sigh of relief in his heart.
He himself was also very strange, coming out of the palace, Sister Jin'er's performance made him feel a little like pins and needles, and finally got out of her sight, and he felt better, he raised his eyes and looked around, behind the corridor, there was a doorway, I don't know where it leads.
The scale of the Juxian Hall is not small, there are more than a dozen courtyards of all kinds alone, plus the main hall, the front hall, the square, and many places in the martial arts field, it can be said that it is readily available.
This time, he came out to check the traces of the Chaos Mill by the way, but he didn't think much about it, but was going to use his divine perception to explore the surroundings.
It's just that this time, Lin Xiuyuan didn't dare to exert it with all his might, after all, today's Juxian Hall is different from the past, but there are many strong people.
For example, the National Teacher!
Every time he thought of this person, Lin Xiuyuan's heart felt a little uncomfortable, recalling the death of the martial artist who guarded the emperor's mausoleum, he definitely couldn't forgive this Confucian high-ranking and powerful sage.
Shaking off the scattered thoughts, Lin Xiuyuan quietly opened the perception of divine thoughts through the mask, and in an instant, a divine thought began to spread.
Fortunately, Lin Xiuyuan has already preliminarily controlled such a divine perception of divine thoughts, and it has not extended too far, it is controlled within ten zhang, anyway, the Juxian Hall is not big, and it doesn't take much effort to turn around by himself, so it's better to be cautious.
But after his divine perception passed through the courtyard wall in front of the corridor, a young girl appeared in his perception, which made him slightly stunned!
Willow leaves and thin eyebrows, eyes like apricots, no powder, a smile is overwhelming, like a blooming begonia, quietly leaning on the pillar of the stone pavilion!
What a beautiful woman!
Lin Xiuyuan's heart suddenly flashed with such a thought, and then he quickly shook his head, thinking about something.
The next moment, for some reason, the girl suddenly raised her eyes and glanced in the direction of Lin Xiuyuan here, which made his heart almost shock.
Did the other party discover his own divine perception?
Immediately afterwards, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief, because the woman only glanced at it, and then lowered her head again, and continued to read the scroll in her hand, and there was nothing strange on her face.
Lin Xiuyuan subconsciously withdrew his divine perception, and his face was a little red, and he actually had a feeling of being a thief.
I didn't do anything, I just wanted to explore the Chaos Mill, and I didn't mean to peep, what are you nervous about?
Lin Xiuyuan suddenly scolded himself, took a deep breath, calmed down, looked at the courtyard wall in front of him, hesitated for a moment, and walked over.
Through the doorway, a rockery, a spring, a stone pavilion, and the moving woman in the stone pavilion appeared in front of his eyes.
The girl also seemed to notice that someone was coming, raised her head again, and collided with Lin Xiuyuan's gaze.
The eyes are facing each other, and there is silence...
As if sensing that the atmosphere was a little awkward, Lin Xiuyuan subconsciously avoided his gaze, his face was a little red, but fortunately, there was a mask to cover it, and the girl couldn't see it.
The girl's gaze was also slightly wandering, but in the next moment, it returned to the strangely dressed strange person in front of her.
"Who are you?"
The girl couldn't help but be curious, and finally asked first.
Lin Xiuyuan was looking around aimlessly, and when he heard the girl's question, he had to turn his gaze back, looked at the other party's flawless beautiful cheeks, hesitated for a moment, and said:
"My name is Xie Wuming!"
The girl frowned her brows, her eyes became more strange, she looked each other up and down, and said softly:
"Looking at your outfit, it doesn't look like a forbidden army in the palace."
Lin Xiuyuan then understood that the girl was because he was wearing a chain armor, and the other party regarded him as the Kyoto Forbidden Army, he was silent for a moment, and nodded a little woodenly:
"I'm not a forbidden army!"
This is obviously nonsense!
But the girl covered her mouth lightly and laughed, and then looked at him curiously for a long time, her eyes suddenly lit up, and she said:
"Then you should be a cultivator who has come to participate in the Juxian Society. But you don't wear Taoist robes, and you don't look like a Confucian dress, how can you dress like a general. ”
Lin Xiuyuan said seriously:
"I'm Wu Xiu!"
The girl was slightly stunned, and then suddenly said:
"It turned out to be Wu Xiu!"
The girl seemed to be suddenly interested, closed the book, turned lightly from the stone pavilion, sat on the guardrail of the stone pavilion, swayed the jade feet wearing silk embroidered shoes, and said softly:
"Wu Xiu's words, then you should be the one invited by the Zhennan Palace, right?"
Lin Xiuyuan was a little sluggish, and subconsciously asked:
"How do you know?"
The girl smiled:
"There are only two martial cultivators who participated in the Juxian Meeting this time, I have seen the one from the Xue family, and the rest is not the one from the Zhennan Palace?"
Lin Xiuyuan was stunned, but found that the girl was still looking at him curiously, and was a little awkward, not only asked:
"Is there anything strange about me?"
The girl was a little shy, her face flushed slightly, and she was a little embarrassed to say:
"That's not true, it's just a little curious, it turns out that you are that Gongzi Xie!"
Lin Xiuyuan didn't understand what she was talking about, but when he heard Gongzi Xie's title, he was a little familiar, he hesitated again and again, and finally remained silent.
The girl didn't care, and continued to ask:
"The assembly is supposed to be held in the front hall, how did you come here?"
Lin Xiuyuan couldn't tell her that she was here to hunt for treasure, so he could only prevaricate:
"Before the conference began, I went out and walked around on my own."
The girl nodded, didn't ask anything, and after glancing at Lin Xiuyuan again, she suddenly smiled:
"In that case, my curiosity ends here, I should continue to read, so I won't bother you, Gongzi Xie, please take care of yourself!"
The girl said, turning over again, picking up the scroll, and reading it again.
Lin Xiuyuan looked at the girl in front of him, and felt a little strange in his heart, since he returned to Kyoto, among all the people he had seen, whether it was talking about it or meeting the cultivators, they were either sincere and fearful, or they were respectful, and they all called them 'mountain immortals'.
Only this girl doesn't seem to have much awe, and even directly addresses her as a cultivator, which is completely different from ordinary people.
This also made Lin Xiuyuan, who had always been in a peaceful mood, somewhat fluctuating, especially the other party's sentence of Xie Gongzi, which made him feel even more puzzled and wanted to ask, but after the girl said that, she turned around, and he couldn't continue to ask.
Lin Xiuyuan stood for a moment, and finally got up and walked towards another doorway in the courtyard, but before he could go far, a pleasant voice sounded in his ears.
"My name is Meng Yiyao!"
Lin Xiuyuan stopped, turned around and looked at the girl again, but saw that the girl was looking at him, with a pair of moving eyes, squinting into a crescent moon, with a hint of a smile on her face.
Lin Xiuyuan's eyes were a little puzzled, but the girl smiled:
"You told me your name earlier, as a courtesy, I think I should still tell you my name before you leave."
Lin Xiuyuan muttered softly, and then nodded seriously and said:
"I remember!"
The girl stopped looking at him, shook her slender jade hand, said goodbye, and lowered her head to read again.
Lin Xiuyuan was silent for a moment, but in the end, he didn't ask the doubt in his heart, and turned to leave...
After Lin Xiuyuan left the courtyard, the girl who had been looking down at the book suddenly raised her head and looked at the doorway where Lin Xiuyuan disappeared, slightly distracted.
"What are you thinking?"
A voice suddenly came from behind her, which startled Meng Yiyao, she turned her head to look, and saw Princess Changyang, dressed in a luxurious and dignified dress, standing at the door where Lin Xiuyuan came in earlier, smiling to herself.
Meng Yiyao was not much surprised when she saw her appear, but thought of something, laughed, Princess Changyang was a little strange, stepped forward, and said angrily:
"You Nizi, what are you smiling at me?"
Meng Yiyao picked up the scroll, finally stopped laughing, and then pretended to be mysterious:
"It's nothing, it's just that I suddenly thought of what the sage said."
Princess Changyang was a little curious and said:
"What?"
Meng Yiyao said softly:
"Whoever does not ask for it, and who asks for it, what is the chance of winning?"
Princess Changyang frowned slightly and asked:
"What do you mean?"
Meng Yiyao no longer sold Guanzi, but said directly:
"Earlier, I saw the Xie Gongzi in your mouth."
Princess Changyang was stunned for a moment, and said urgently:
"He's been here?"
Meng Yiyao nodded, Princess Changyang finally understood what she meant by her previous words, and couldn't help but sigh:
"What you said is right, I tried my best to find him, but to no avail, you just sit here and read, but you can easily see him, there is really no place to reason."
Meng Yiyao smiled and said:
"Why are you sad, without Wu Xiu Xie Gongzi, isn't there still a scholar Li Huaisheng, this great Confucian student who reads and cultivates, he may not lose to him."
Princess Changyang smiled bitterly:
"If this Li Da Confucian had such a trace of competitiveness, I would not be so melancholy, obviously the cultivation is scary, but I haven't even fought once."
Meng Yiyao said:
"I don't think there's anything wrong with this, a scholar should look like a scholar, rolling up his sleeves and fighting, it's all reckless behavior, the so-called gentleman doesn't fight, that's exactly the reason."
Princess Changyang flicked it lightly on her head, and rarely showed some girlish coquettish appearances and said:
"You are a girl's family, you don't have to fight with what kind of gentleman you learn, but now it's good, you don't even go to the academy, this is really not a fight at all!"
Meng Yiyao was obviously unwilling to discuss this topic, and directly diverted from the topic:
"Why did you come to me all of a sudden?"
Princess Changyang said:
"I was troubled by you, I almost forgot my business, I came to tell you that the cousin of my third uncle's family didn't come today, you don't have to hide here to read."
Meng Yiyao said:
"Whether he comes or not, what does it have to do with me, why should I hide from him, I just want to find a clean place to read."
Princess Changyang did not expose her, but said:
"Okay, in that case, you won't go to see the battle table competition later?"
Meng Yiyao subconsciously shook her head, she was not interested in these cultivation competitions at all, but for some reason, she suddenly remembered the previous martial arts young man, and after hesitating for a moment, she suddenly said:
"Forget it, after all, I am also a member of the Meng family, if I don't see anyone all the time, it's not appropriate, anyway, it's okay to go and see!"
