Volume 1: The Boy Shows His Edge Chapter 108: Floating Statues
On the periphery of Wanhua Valley, there have been many more people recently.
Bai Jiahe and his senior brother Xu Zuo came to a small courtyard together, and Lu Fanrou was already leaning against the door.
"Sister Lu, your injuries haven't healed yet, why did you come out and walk around?"
Bai Jiahe hurriedly stepped forward to hold Lu Fanrou's arm, and motioned to the senior brother to hurry up and hold the other side.
Xu Zuo's face jumped a little tightly, Bai Jiahe has been matching him and Lu Fanrou intentionally or unintentionally recently, how could he not be aware?
In fact, there was a deep hidden liking for his sister Bai Jiahe in his heart, but after the incident in the dense forest, Bai Jiahe became more and more curious about Mu Qing, and he felt uncomfortable in his heart and broke off this thought.
Now that he is clear in his heart, Lu Fanrou has to come to meet him even if he is injured, which really touches him.
There are some emotions in this world that I didn't care about before, if you echo it, you can get it full, and there are also some emotions that can't wait, Xu Zuo also responded with silence, but found that he had the courage to show love to his junior sister, even Lu Fanrou's kindness to him was not enough, so what else is there to say?
Maybe the real letting go is the beginning.
Xu Zuo took two steps slower, and also held Lu Fanrou's arm on the other side, Bai Jiahe let go at the right time, carefully observed Lu Fanrou's complexion, breathed a sigh of relief, and sighed sincerely: "Sister Lu, it's good that we can see each other again!"
Lu Fanrou's face was even more pale, she slowly leaned the weight of her body on Xu's left hand, held the wound on her chest, and sighed: "Yes, I already felt that I was going to die at that time, but I didn't expect to be saved by Mu Qing Gongzi." ”
Bai Jiahe's eyes lit up, he shook his head and said with a wry smile: "This Mu Qing Gongzi called himself "Cao Baiji" in the dense forest at that time, and he looked very mysterious when he made a move, and my senior brother and I almost misunderstood him as the other party's person at that time. ”
Speaking of this, Bai Jiahe was a little speechless and sighed: "If it weren't for Sister Lu and you coming back, we wouldn't even know who he is." ”
Lu Fanrou said with a smile: "He is indeed mixed in the other party's camp, we can survive and meet in the Valley of Ten Thousand Flowers, and it is all thanks to you, Sister Jiahe." ”
"Huh?" Bai Jiahe's eyes widened, and he asked suspiciously, "What did Sister Lu say?"
Lu Fanrou and Ning Chu have been back together for a few days, but they still need to recuperate quietly a few days ago, so they are suppressing the joy of reunion after the catastrophe, and now they have time to have a good chat.
Lu Fanrou said with a smile: "It is precisely because you used the inheritance body method of Wanhua Valley in that dense forest that Mu Qing discovered you, and everything that happened later happened." ”
Lu Fanrou was a little strange after speaking, and asked, "Didn't Senior Sister Ning Chu tell you? You should have been together when you entered the genealogy of the Patriarch Hall of Wanhua Valley a few days ago." ”
Bai Jiahe shook his head and said, "I don't know what's going on, Senior Sister Ning Chu has been in a bad mood since that day, and I didn't bother her." ”
Lu Fanrou frowned and said: "Although Senior Sister Ning Chu's temperament seems to be a little cold, she is actually a very kind person who is not cold on the outside and hot on the inside, has she encountered any difficulties?"
Bai Jiahe frowned and said, "Uncle Gu Lord, she seems to know what Senior Sister Ning Chu is thinking, but she doesn't seem to have solved any problems. However, the little senior sister of peony has been running to find Senior Sister Ning Chu every day recently. ”
In the inner valley of Wanhua Valley, when the white fog thinned, several houses next to the medicine garden were bathed in the skylight.
These quaint style single-courtyard houses are all made of local materials, built of ancient trees in the valley, moisture-proof and insect-proof, and the courtyard gate is made of bamboo fences, and the symbolism of the door is greater than practical.
Zhang Shaoyao paced a few laps in front of the fence outside the courtyard of Senior Sister Ning Chu, bit her silver teeth, and walked in while softly calling "Senior Sister".
Ning Chu sat alone on the bamboo mat in the middle hall, with his back to the door, and when he heard the footsteps coming behind him, he smiled helplessly and said, "Peony, I haven't said it many times, senior sister doesn't blame him." ”
Zhang Shaoyao's footsteps were fast, and his light and agile figure sat down cross-legged in front of Ning Chu, his eyes that were round like black grapes were deflated, and he sighed softly: "But, but, senior sister, you are sad, I am also sad, I don't know why this is happening." ”
Ning Chu pinched Zhang Peony's face, raised his eyebrows, and said, "This is someone targeting us in Wanhua Valley, maybe a bigger conspiracy is still to come." ”
Zhang Shaoyao's eyes widened and asked, "Senior sister, what did the master say?"
Ning Chu's eyes were slightly twitching, he straightened out the scattered green silk, and sighed: "The master told me to plan and continue to keep in touch with those who took the initiative to contact me, but I can't wait to get rid of them now!"
Zhang Shaoyao was also depressed in her heart, although the master also told her that Brother Ah Liang and Yuejiu were not to blame Brother Ah Liang, and even the senior sister comforted her in turn, but Zhang Shaoyao always felt that her brother owed her sister, and what her brother owed was what she owed.
Zhang Shaoyao thought about it for a long time and didn't think of any good way, it seems that he can only wait for those who play with the conspiracy to make a move, although the latter feels more powerful, but this kind of grievance in the early stage is really uncomfortable.
She rubbed the ball-like hairstyle on her head indiscriminately, hesitated for a moment, and still asked, "Senior sister, after you and Ah Liang are separated in Stone City, calculate the time, how long will it take for Mu Qing to come back?"
Ning Chu lowered his eyebrows and lowered his eyes, and after thinking seriously for a while, he replied: "Jinguan City is seven hundred and eight kilometers away from Vermilion Bird City, even if Mu Qing leaves immediately after handing over the task, it should take ten years to return to Wanhua Valley." ”
"Ah, since it's so far, how long will it take?" Zhang Shaoyao complained in his heart, and said: "I heard that the new Sister Lu said that he was under the pseudonym Mu Qing, and he had a lot of fun along the way?"
"Hmph, as soon as he comes back, I will ask him to plead guilty to you, senior sister. ”
Ning Chu shook his head helplessly, and laughed softly: "Senior sister, don't mess around, I really don't blame him, but you can't be unreasonable when the time comes, you didn't give her this pseudonym, you can only call Ah Liang?"
Zhang Shaoyao's hips moved slightly, moved her knees to Ning Chu's side, leaned on her shoulder, and looked up: "Senior sister, but I can feel that you are very sad, is there any way to make you feel a little better?"
Ning Chu looked at the bamboo fence outside the courtyard and said softly: "That person, if you can't get out of the cage, you will always end up with such a result, I don't... Sad. ”
There were crystal warm droplets of water that slid across her fair cheeks and landed on Zhang Shaoyao's forehead, who hugged her slightly trembling shoulders.
......
......
For those people in Jinguancheng who have a high enough status, two major events happened in the Liu family today.
If you want to divide the ranking, the first thing is undoubtedly the relationship between the Liu family and the Xishan Lin family.
This matter is like when the sword cultivator asks the sword, the first move is a big trick.
After Liu Weirui accompanied Ling Qingzhu to make a brief appearance, those top guests who were qualified enough to guess naturally guessed some, and as for those who didn't know about it, they would definitely be shocked by the scene they saw today in the future.
Among them, the person from the City Lord's Mansion was the new City Lord Bai Rong, when he heard that the grandmother of the eldest lady of the Liu family turned out to be the housemother of the Xishan Lin family, he was extremely glad that his attitude today was extremely cordial and even lowly, and except for the Li family, some of the other people who were among the top ten families changed from a smile to a vigilant face.
Those people are speculating that after today, will the position of the head of the Liu family fall to Liu Weirui, and then with the help of the Xishan Lin family, everyone will be eaten?
The floating portraits, laughing and scolding, seem to be all for the sake of profit.
Some people have already looked at the face of Liu Chaoge's third uncle, Liu Xingshan, but they heard that Liu Chaoge is going to pass on the position of head of the family to his grandson Liu Zhaoling, is this just a smoke bomb?
But Liu Chaoge didn't let this atmosphere last long, and the second thing was to announce that the position of the thirty-third generation head of the Liu family would fall directly on Liu Zhaoling.
Liu Zhaoling followed Li Niu to the imperial city of White Emperor City, and came back a day earlier than Liu Weirui.
He didn't have much fun along the way, such a big thing happened in the family, and when Liu Chaoge and the elders of the clan signed a contract, he was notified by an urgent express letter, saying that he would be the next head of the family.
When Liu Zhaoling listened to Liu Chaoge announce that he had become the head of the family in public, when the eyes of everyone present fell on him from the grandfather next to him, he did not have a trace of joy or pride, his heart was full of confusion, and he even turned a kind of gaze asking for help to the figure of the girl sitting next to Liu Chaoge.
He doesn't want to be the head of the family, how tired it is to be the head of the house, his uncle is tired and sick, isn't it good to be a leisurely rich man who walks his dog with flowers?
After Liu Zhaoling came back, he learned that the second uncle's family was dead and driven away, and he was so frightened of this cruel status quo that he felt disgusted with the rights that would belong to him, and even felt that the current family was really strange.
But grandpa is very happy, even those outsiders of those big families in Jinguancheng are very happy, who cares about his feelings?
"Spirit?"
A familiar voice sounded behind him, Liu Zhaoling's shoulders were agitated, he turned around quickly, looked at his sister who was still full of heroism and wisdom and beauty as before, and shouted in a slightly trembling voice: "Sister......"
Liu Weirui raised her eyebrows and smiled, and said lightly: "You come with your sister, and I'll say a few words to you." ”
No one would not care about Liu Weirui, who had a housemother of the Xishan Lin family as her grandmother, and Liu Xingshan even urged his grandson to follow Liu Weirui a little flatteringly.
The sister and brother stood still, and Liu Weirui didn't speak for a while.
Liu Zhaoling snorted for a while, and then took the lead in speaking: "Sister, happy birthday." ”
Liu Weirui's eyes widened, looking at the sincerity in Liu Zhaoling's eyes, and sighed with a smile: "Zhaoling, you already know that a lot of things have happened recently. ”
Liu Zhaoling said distressedly: "I can't believe ......"
Liu Weirui also sighed: "I can't believe it, but when things come to this point, it may be the best choice." ”
Liu Weirui could see Liu Zhaoling's fear of the future, and comforted: "I actually don't approve of you being the head of this family." I know you're good-natured, but you're idle, well, seems to be a bit playful. ”
Liu Weirui was euphemistic, and she couldn't help but smile.
Liu Zhaoling smiled bitterly, and said in a tone similar to a request: "Then sister, take back the position of the head of the family, really, I really don't want to be the head of the family, my grandfather is really happy, but it seems that everyone has not cared about my thoughts." ”
Liu Weirui patted Liu Zhaoling's shoulder and sighed lightly: "Sister now has her own pursuits, you still have to study more in the future, but you can't lose my father's earned family foundation." ”
Not far away, the voices of people were boiling, and the sisters and brothers had a frank exchange, and Liu Zhaoling was much less anxious about the future.
When it was time to return to the banquet, he blushed, looked at the back of the woman walking in front, and said seriously: "I will definitely try!"
