Chapter 132: Old Acquaintances on a Rainy Night (1)
"Boom," a thunderclap resounded through the clouds, and a torrential downpour fell in the silence of the night.
In Luojing at the beginning of summer, the night has always been so hot that people can't breathe, especially the damp heat that goes deep into the bone marrow before the rainstorm, like a huge whirlpool, which can suck all the essence and spirit of people into it at once, and even rest is not good.
"Ahh The storm outside the house was raging, and what was even more frantic than the wind and rain was Lingxi's state of mind at this time.
Thinking back to the dream she had just had, Lingxi's head hurt, like an explosion, but no matter how much she told herself not to be affected, the nightmare still came as scheduled every night.
Since coming to Luojing, Lingxi has not slept well every day recently, and those long-term memories have appeared in her dreams over and over again, although it has been many years, it is still extremely clear, and even every detail of everyone is remembered very clearly.
Whether it was Qing Jue's lonely look when he left, or Su Mu's cry in his swaddling clothes.
All with an unreal sense of reality.
Lingxi sighed, afraid that this memory would become a shadow for his life. It wasn't as serious as it is now, but now it may be that the important day is getting closer and closer, and even I am not immune to its effects.
Forcibly calming his mind, Lingxi got up from the bed, made himself a cup of herbal tea, and drank it all in one gulp, which could be regarded as relieving himself from Fang Cai's nightmare.
The rain in the beginning of summer came and went quickly, and the outside of the house was completely calm at this time.
At this time, Lingxi only hoped that this year's Huangmei Tian would be better, and the pain of rheumatism might affect the implementation of the plan in the future.
The one she's been working on for seventeen years.
Seventeen years ago, I was still a young girl in the flower season, time passed in a hurry, and the beautiful and desperate youth slipped away silently. At this moment, although he relied on the special cultivation method of White Emperor City, he was still lucky to maintain a similar appearance as back then, but Lingxi's heart knew better than anyone else.
She is no longer the self she used to be.
As she has always thought, time is like a carving knife, even if you can protect your face, you can't protect your heart.
She is no longer the little girl who can only cry in Wang Shi's arms, and she is no longer the ignorant girl who is at a loss when she encounters a little something.
What I am implementing now is a great plan that no one has ever dared to think of.
And the first step in this ambitious plan will soon begin.
There was no turning back when he opened the bow, and Lingxi understood this truth better than anyone else. Now that we have made up our minds, we must not hesitate in the slightest, and being merciful to any enemy is a blasphemy and a disgrace to our seventeen years of living in incognito.
What she is looking for is also close at hand.
Lingxi stared at the faint candlelight on the coffee table, and fell into a long thought, every day of these days, she was constantly thinking about whether she had missed anything, and she could only sleep peacefully after confirming that everything was safe, and then she woke up the next day and began to repeat the cycle again.
Over and over again, never get tired of it.
Lingxi thinks that he has done everything he can, and he only needs to see the tricks in the next few days.
There are endless jackals, tigers and leopards in Luojing, and there are countless deeds hidden in the shadows, and it is impossible to really calculate the last resort in such a situation, as long as there is no problem with the general direction, the rest of the details can be adapted.
Compared with whether the plan he prepared was reliable, Lingxi was actually more concerned about Su Mu's entry into Luojing.
In the past three years, he has been arranging for Master Wang to go to Hanshan from time to time to teach Su Mu to practice, and Master Wang also reported that Su Mu's cultivation has made great progress, which is enough to gain a foothold in Luojing to protect himself.
But Lingxi's heart was still a little uneasy.
Su Mu is Qingjue's child, and he is also the last reverse scale in Lingxi's heart.
Lingxi knew very well that the path she had chosen was full of thorns and obstacles, but as long as Su Mu was there, she looked at the face that was very similar to Qing Jue from time to time, and she would not be swallowed up by the boundless loneliness.
If something happened to Su Mu, she really didn't dare to imagine what she would become.
Even if Su Mu's own cultivation was already excellent, Luo Jing never lacked any geniuses, and there was never a shortage of people who specialized in strangling geniuses. Not to mention, less than 10% of the young people who have been able to successfully make it to the list of young people throughout the ages have finally met their initial expectations.
Most of them either disappeared from the crowd, or their wings were killed before they were mature and full, and they fell.
And for Su Mu, who is inexperienced in the rivers and lakes and is not very sensitive to the affairs of the temple, there is nothing more dangerous than the situation in front of him.
The battle between the three princes and the heirs has intensified, and the court eunuchs behind them have stood in line, and the previous secret war has a tendency to be open, and the foreign races in the outer north and the southwest have been eyeing each other, and they don't know how far Tu Nanguo has penetrated over the years.
This is an excellent environment for speculators, but for a young man like Su Mu who has not been involved in the world, a little carelessness may lead to a catastrophe.
The only consolation is that he is also in Luojing at this time, even if he can't meet often, it is no problem to take care of and protect him secretly, and anyway, Su Mu is just participating in the clan conference, there are so many potential newcomers in the clan conference, and there are even clan festivals from many countries to be held this year. Su Mu's talent may indeed be extraordinary, but in the entire Dongzhou, I am afraid that it will not be so dazzling.
At that time, how many people will care about a disciple of the middle three sects?
In such a choppy place, inconspicuous is actually the greatest protection.
Lingxi shook his head, he couldn't worry about these things anymore at this time, he had to focus on the present. After all, there is still a lot of preparation to be done in the coming period.
"Your Highness, are you resting?" Just as Lingxi was about to return to bed to continue resting, a woman's voice suddenly sounded outside the door, and Lingxi could hear that it was the maid who was responsible for taking care of his daily life.
"It's okay, what's going on?" Lingxi was puzzled, it was already the middle of the night at this time, it stands to reason that they should know their temperament very well, and they won't come to disturb at this time.
"Your Highness, Master Wang has returned, and has brought a special guest, saying that you will definitely be interested, and I would like you to meet you immediately. ”
Special guest? Lingxi wondered in his heart, what kind of person needs to be met in person in the middle of the night?
But since it was brought back by Master Wang, it must be very important to his plan.
Thinking of this, Lingxi dressed up and walked out of his bedroom.
