Jiang Chen heard this statement from Xiao Lingmeng's mouth, and scoffed at it, he thought that if the emperor Lao'er had a slightly normal brain, and he was not full and had nothing to do, how could he waste his precious master of the Great Inner on a few broken books, and directly transfer the so-called divine skills and martial arts to the inner library.

Xiao Lingmeng retorted that the reason why the emperor sealed the god-level martial arts in the Star Academy Library was because there was a gambling contract between His Majesty the Emperor and the founder of the Star Academy a hundred years ago, and the Emperor lost Yunyun.

Jiang Chen was very unimpressed by such rumors. But even if there was no god-level martial arts in the library pavilion, it would not affect his enthusiasm for the secrets in the pavilion, and he immediately urged Xiao Lingmeng to take him in to borrow books.

Xiao Lingmeng said: "I have only been enrolled for two years, and I can only read books on the first floor, and those books are all road goods, you can buy them at any bookstore, and you don't need to borrow them at all." ”

"Then maybe what if there are one or two peerless cheats hidden in the big road goods? Take me inside! ”

"Let's rest for a while, I can't walk." Xiao Lingmeng leaned over and rubbed his knees, and said, "There are no seats in the library pavilion, let's go to the pavilion over there and sit down first." ”

She ignored the dissatisfaction on Jiang Chen's face and walked straight to the small pavilion between the library pavilion and the man-made lake.

Jiang Chen didn't think about it, so he followed her and walked into the pavilion gracefully.

Although the pavilion is small, there are many people, most of them are couples, occupying a corner of the stone bench and snuggling up to each other and saying something intimate.

Xiao Lingmeng saw such a scene, and heard Jiang Chen's breathing behind him, and couldn't help but feel a little surprised. But since he came, he didn't turn around and walked away, lowered his head and walked quickly past the couple, found a stone bench and sat down.

She turned her head to see that Jiang Chen was still beside the guardrail by the pavilion, enjoying the lake scenery with grace.

It can attract many couples to come here for a tryst, and the scenery of this place is of course good, although it is almost winter, but due to the support of the academy circle, the climate is still warm and pleasant.

The surface of the lake is like a piece of jasper, the long causeway on the shore is green and white, the willows are still clinging, the breeze is coming, pulling the clothes, standing in front of the sparkling waves on the water surface, people seem to have an illusion of wanting to fly away. If there are not a lot of people, it is really a good place for Qing Xiu.

"Gong Han!" Jiang Chen heard Xiao Lingmeng's shout, although he didn't know who she was shouting, it didn't affect his interest in enjoying the scenery.

"Gong Han! Gong Han! Do you hear that? ”

Xiao Lingmeng shouted three times in a row, and Jiang Chen remembered that "Gong Han" seemed to be his temporary name, so he hurriedly answered, turned his head to look, and saw that in the strange eyes of the couples, Xiao Lingmeng was looking at him with an angry face.

"Hey, it was too windy just now, I didn't hear clearly." Jiang Chen walked over and casually found a reason.

Xiao Lingmeng didn't believe his nonsense at all, but he didn't say much, patted the stone bench beside him, and motioned for him to sit down.

"I also walked around today, how do you feel, is it different from what you imagined?" Xiao Lingmeng asked.

"Otherwise, it's just a bit crowded. Doesn't the Star Courtyard prohibit outsiders from entering and leaving? ”

"Of course not. Originally, the Star Academy only allowed teachers, students, and servants to enter and exit, but this place was under the feet of the Son of Heaven, and there were too many powerful people everywhere, and there were too many means to get in. Hey, it's a miasma, and it's a mixture! ”

"yes." Jiang Chen nodded in agreement, "What about the dean, he turned a good academy into a vegetable market, and the old man of the emperor raised him for nothing." ”

Xiao Lingmeng secretly rolled his eyes, slandering this guy for being cheap and behaved, if the dean was a little more effective, you should not be the first to let a lewd thief in.

"Little Dream—"

A high-pitched, almost deformed, male voice came from the other end of the pavilion.

Xiao Lingmeng held his forehead and said helplessly: "It's that guy, it's really troublesome......"

Jiang Chen followed the prestige and saw a tall man with thick eyebrows and big eyes, dressed in a knight's suit, staring at this side, his eyes were full of disbelief, and his body trembled slightly in the breeze by the lake, as if he was greatly frightened.

"Xiaomeng, who is he?" The man spoke again, his voice slightly hoarse and shaky.

Seeing his deranged expression, a thought flashed through Jiang Chen's heart: Could this guy happen to be Xiao Lingmeng's lover? It's really unlucky, how did such a boring bloody drama make me bump into it......

"He ......" Xiao Lingmeng glanced at Jiang Chen, a little hesitant, but immediately regained his composure and said loudly, "He is my cousin and my childhood sweetheart's fiancé." ”

"What?" The man's face turned pale in an instant, his lips trembled, and he pointed at Jiang Chen and said, "Ling, you ......"

Before, he saw Xiao Lingmeng and a strange man sitting together and talking intimately from a distance, and he had a bit of luck in his heart, but Xiao Lingmeng's answer completely punctured his dream.

Although Jiang Chen had an indifferent smile on his face, if there was tea in his mouth at the moment, he would definitely spray Xiao Lingmeng's face.

The couples in the pavilion who were attracted by this scene also cast their eyes, and their whispers increased several times.

Xiao Lingmeng stood up and said apologetically: "Gongzi He, I understand your intentions, but I already have a marriage contract, so I ......"

She glanced at Jiang Chen, and although Jiang Chen was insulted, he had no choice but to stand up and smile gracefully at the man: "Hello Gongzi He!" In Xia Gong Han, I once heard Xiaomeng talk about you. ”

"Gong Han ......" He Gongzi chewed on the name, with undisguised hostility in his eyes, "Why have I never heard Xiaomeng talk about you?" ”

"Maybe you don't know each other well." Jiang Chenyun lightly sprinkled salt on He Gongzi's wound, "Xiaomeng has always been cautious in his words and deeds in front of outsiders. ”

He Gongzi's face was even more ugly, as pale as a down-and-out general who had just been defeated.

He breathed hard, turned his head to look at Xiao Lingmeng, and couldn't help but roar: "Xiaomeng, where am I not as good as him, why are you-"

"He Gongzi!" Xiao Lingmeng's face was slightly cold, and he interrupted him in a condensed voice, "Could it be that in your eyes, am I just a snob who weighs the pros and cons and picks and chooses?" Love is love, how can there be good or bad, and how can it be compared or compared? ”

"I'm sorry, Xiaomeng, I didn't mean that......" Seeing that the beauty was angry, He Gongzi hurriedly apologized, but he didn't give up, and said, "Xiaomeng, I am infatuated with you, and I have already sworn that you will not marry, do you know?" ”

Xiao Lingmeng nodded lightly: "He Gongzi's love, Ling Mengming is in his heart, but it's a pity that he can't bear it." ”

He Gongzi said astringently: "Then I dare to ask, Xiaomeng, have you ever had a good impression of me?" ”

"Gongzi He is the dragon among people, and Wen Taowu is the best choice, but the love between men and women is really reluctant to ......"

"Little dream, you, can you ...... Think about it again? He Gongzi was already in a mess, and he didn't choose what to say, and said clumsily, "Xiaomeng, you give me a little more time, and then think about ......it."

Onlookers in the vicinity were full of discussion and amazement.

The dignified He Penghai He Gongzi, born with a golden spoon, one of the several influential figures in the Star Academy in the past, how high-spirited, how could there ever be such a time of groveling, no one would believe it when he said it!

It seems that all those who are trapped by love, even heroes have to bend their waists!

Seeing that Gongzi He was begging so hard that he was almost about to kneel, and in front of so many people, Xiao Lingmeng was also a little dry, glanced at Jiang Chen next to him, who had nothing to do with himself, turned his heart sideways, and said stubbornly: "Gongzi He, you are a noble man of Tianhuang, the third heir of the He family, and you deserve a better home." The world is big, and the grass is everywhere, why should you be persistent? ”

"But even if there are 3,000 weak waters, I love you alone......"

"I'm sorry."

Xiao Lingmeng finally couldn't resist the pressure of many eyes, and walked away with his sleeves covered his face.

Jiang Chen, who was left to watch the play, suddenly found himself the protagonist in the scene, glanced at He Gongzi, who had a gloomy face, and hurriedly turned around: "I have an uncomfortable stomach and am out of company." ”

He Gongzi ignored Jiang Chen. He just stared at Xiao Lingmeng's back, by the lake, in the breeze, unconsciously stupid.

Jiang Chen caught up with Xiao Lingmeng in the teahouse.

"Didn't you say you were going to the Library? What kind of tea do you drink in this broken building? ”

Xiao Lingmeng leaned against the wooden wall, looking at the passers-by outside the window, his eyes were a little misty, and he sighed: "I'm not in the mood." ”

"I'm in the mood! You don't have to do it, you just take me in and wait by the side! ”

"......" Xiao Lingmeng wrinkled his nose and glanced at Jiang Chen, compared to He Gongzi, who could observe words and look at things and spend his time trying to please himself, this guy was simply a barbarian who didn't understand the amorous feelings.

Jiang Chen only complained a few words and didn't urge her again.

After a while, the guy brought the tea, Xiao Lingmeng took a sip, and said faintly: "You say, I am wrong to treat him like this?" ”

Jiang Chen stared at the few green leaves floating in the cup, and replied casually when he heard the words, "Of course it's wrong. The He family is so rich, after you get married, you eat delicacies from the mountains and seas, wear silk and satin, and enjoy endless glory and wealth, isn't it good? ”

Xiao Lingmeng rolled his eyes: "Is my pursuit for the rest of my life just to eat and drink?" ”

"And what more do you want? He Gongzi is also good-looking, although there is a gap between him and me, but he is also a talent. Judging from his breath, his martial arts are not weak, at least he can take me three moves, he should be a one-in-a-million character, how high is your vision? ”

Xiao Lingmeng rubbed the smooth body of the cup and sighed: "I don't know why, I still have no feelings for him, and when I think of going to the He family, I feel a little afraid in my heart......"

Jiang Chen sighed, nodded and said, "I understand, you must be worried that he will not be able to satisfy you, and it is not easy for a wealthy family like the He family to quietly raise a few faces-oops!" Why are you stepping on me? ”

Xiao Lingmeng retracted his foot and snorted angrily, "Call you to talk nonsense." You don't know what love is! ”

"Love ......" Jiang Chen whispered these two words, hehe smiled, his expression was complicated and difficult to understand.

In the eyes of the preconceived Xiao Lingmeng, this is a sign of disdain.

She suddenly thought that she was actually discussing love with a thief, which was boring enough. If you really ask this guy how he feels about the woman he loves, he probably can only get an answer like "very moist" at most......

Xiao Lingmeng's curiosity was suddenly ignited.

Why did this guy become such a person? Obviously, his martial arts are very high, and he is third in the "Heroic List", and even the "Great Awakening" Buddha Jizang was defeated by him, which can be called the pride of the heavens. He should have become a heroic hero admired by everyone like Bei Fengdan and Wei Liuying, but he chose to be a notorious lewd thief, why?

Jiang Chen raised his head, met Xiao Lingmeng's gaze, and asked with a smile: "You have been staring at me like this, it can't be that you have taken a fancy to me, right?" ”

Xiao Lingmeng retracted his gaze like a frightened rabbit, his cheeks were stunned, and he muttered, "I'm just curious." ”

"Curious about what?"

"Curious ......" Xiao Lingmeng wanted to ask, were you deceived by a certain woman, so you angrily bullied the women of the world, but when the words came to her mouth, she couldn't ask, and then said, "You held the teacup and watched it for a long time, why didn't you drink a sip?" ”

"Because—"

Jiang Chen was just about to answer, when a drunk man staggered by, put his dirty hand on Jiang Chen's shoulder, shook his head and squinted at Jiang Chen, and said with a big tongue: "You kid...... Look? New here, right? ”

Jiang Chen smelled the pungent smell of wine spurting from the drunk's mouth, frowned, shook his shoulders, shook the drunkard's palm, and said lightly: "I don't know you either." ”

"Haha! You, you kid is amazing, dare to say it...... Don't know me, huh? This part of the Holy City, who, who doesn't know my Third Master Xiao, ah? As the drunk man spoke, his body staggered, and he didn't stand firm holding on to the table, so he pressed towards Jiang Chen.

Jiang Chen waved his right arm impatiently, and the drunkard's body staggered and fell several steps, and with a butt, his head hit the pillar next to the wall, making a thud, and it sounded like a light hit.

"Don't do it!" Xiao Lingmeng hurriedly stopped.

She was afraid that Jiang Chen would be angry and kill this scoundrel in public, and she would definitely be implicated.

Jiang Chen glanced at Xiao Lingmeng: "He is also surnamed Xiao, is he your relative?" ”

Xiao Lingmeng didn't bother to speak, and when he saw that the drunk man was staggering and about to get up, he quickly got up and grabbed Jiang Chen's sleeve, and wanted to leave here.

"Stop!" After the drunkard hit his head, he sobered up a little more, and spoke a lot more neatly, seeing that these two people actually wanted to run, he stopped them angrily, and said viciously, "Fuck you, you two little princes dare to hit me, do you know who my Third Master Xiao is, ah?" ”

Jiang Chen and Xiao Lingmeng both shook their heads, saying that they had never heard of characters like Xiao Sanye.

"Hey! These two little bastards are quite good at pretending to be stupid! Do you know that I, Xiao Sanye, eat both black and white, and if I shout casually, there will be thousands of brothers on the road, and one person can drown you by spitting? ”

Xiao Lingmeng was still shaking his head vigorously, and Jiang Chen couldn't help but joke: "Then why don't you shout?" ”

"You kid still dare to cross in front of Lao Tzu when he hits someone?" Xiao Sanye looked at these two people, they were all well-dressed, and they didn't follow them, they should be a little rich family, and they were the best wronged bosses!

Xiao Sanye waved his arms, opened his voice and shouted, "Brothers, you can all testify to me!" These two guys knocked me down just now, right? Did everyone see it? ”

"Yes!" There is no shortage of do-gooders in the teahouse, and they all clamoured, "We have seen it all." ”
