I. Chapter 32 Eve
Central Plains, small Taoyuan Villa.
The sun is rising, the white clouds are long, and today is a rare good weather. The martial arts arena was still full of people, and as the competition progressed, the competition became more and more intense, and there seemed to be more onlookers than before.
With the day's competition, Li Mengru has cultivated more deeply because she has followed Li Changfeng since she was a child, and Jiang Ming also relied on the fairy sword in her hand, and the two won both rounds of the competition in one day and successfully entered the top four.
At the same time, Jiang Ming shined in the competition because of the Qianchen Immortal Sword in his hand, attracting many curious and adoring eyes, and he was in the limelight for a while.
Li Changfeng, who usually doesn't smile, is also smiling at the moment, his waist seems to be a little straighter, he walks with the wind, and returns to the Heart Nourishing Hall with a group of people who returned with a big victory.
While it was still early, Chen Zhiyi and Yu Xinshuang went to the flower garden to study flowers and plants.
Li Changfeng looked at the two people in the room, held back the joy in his heart, made himself look serious, and said: "You two have behaved very well, but don't be complacent, these last people left are not ordinary people, and they must be taken seriously." Also, tomorrow's competition is crucial and has a bearing on where you are going and staying. ”
As he spoke, Li Changfeng furrowed his eyebrows, glanced at Li Mengru, and looked a little worried, "Your opponent tomorrow is Yue Bufan." ”
Although it had long been expected, Jiang Ming couldn't help but be nervous for his senior sister, looking at the woman who didn't care, but he didn't know what to say, and he was speechless.
"I know, so what?" Li Mengru sat lazily in the chair, careless, as if it was none of her business, and seemed to be a little indifferent.
Li Changfeng snorted coldly, very dissatisfied with her arrogant attitude, and was about to have a seizure, but a blue and white figure slowly walked in. Li Changfeng forcibly suppressed his emotions and said, "Miss Yu, are you back?"
"Hmm. Yu Xinshuang was dignified, and sat on an old and white chair casually, giving people a feeling that they couldn't look directly at in a trance, which was so out of the ordinary, "I've been tired of Elder Li these days." ”
"Where, where. Li Changfeng smiled, then seemed to remember something, and said to himself: "The selection will be over tomorrow." ”
Yu Xinshuang said: "I've been bothering Elder Li these days, and when the dust settles on the selection, it's time for the juniors to leave." ”
Is she leaving? Jiang Ming didn't know why the lonely figure in the moonlight suddenly appeared in his mind, and an inexplicable loneliness flashed in his heart, and he didn't know if he would be able to see each other again in the future.
"What bother, don't bother, Miss Yu Lan has a heart, being able to come to my heart palace is a celebration of Chaimen. ”
Li Changfeng smiled slightly, but suddenly seemed to remember something, and turned to joy, and said, "How has the Cloud City Lord been all these years?"
"You're worried about your seniors, and the teacher is ...... Very good. ”
Yu Xinshuang frowned, and quickly returned to her senses, but her words were slightly hesitant.
"Huh?" Li Changfeng noticed the other party's strangeness, he didn't know why, he thought about it a little, and suddenly thought of a rumor in the world, a trace of embarrassment appeared on his face, and he didn't know how to explain it, but he was afraid that the other party would misunderstand, so he finally said slowly: "Miss Yu, don't misunderstand, I was wandering outside in the early years, and I was fortunate to see the Lord of Cloud City, although it was far away, but the appearance of the Lord of Cloud City was still fresh in my memory, so I couldn't help but ask, hehe." ”
Although what Li Changfeng said was light and light, Jiang Ming and Li Mengru would not think that things were so simple, at this time, the two of them were full of surprise, no one could have imagined that this man who usually lived in seclusion and kept his usual peace, what kind of experience he had when he was young, not only got the former dust fairy sword, but also saw the mysterious righteous path leader - Yun Guhong.
Hearing this, Yu Xinshuang's face softened, thinking of his gaffe just now and what he thought in his heart, he suddenly felt that he was spending the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain, so he said in a low voice: "The seniors are the best people, but the younger ones are narrow-minded." ”
"Nothing in the way, nothing in the way. ”
Yu Xinshuang understands it in her heart, and she doesn't need to say it, but she is so frank and can bend and stretch. Li Changfeng couldn't help but cast an approving gaze.
The inexplicable and wonderful conversation between the two, Jiang Ming and Li Mengru were listening carefully, and they could vaguely feel something, but in the end, they were still in the clouds, and they didn't know the essentials.
In this way, the night deepened, and the looming black clouds wrapped around the moonlight, and it was hazy. At this time, Chen Zhiyi also prepared dinner, which was unusually rich.
"Mother, make so many dishes again!"
Chen Zhiyi smiled slightly, and said softly: "Then you can eat more." ”
"Okay!" As she spoke, Li Mengru picked up her chopsticks and prepared to pick up the dishes, "Oops!" Her outstretched hand was suddenly beaten, retracted suddenly, and shouted with an aggrieved face: "Mother!"
Chen Zhiyi sat upright and said slyly: "You and your junior brother are so old that you can't even cook, and you still want me to come, don't you want to thank me?"
Li Mengru just wanted to reply, but Jiang Ming secretly pulled the corner of her clothes, pulled her to stand up, and the two said in unison: "Coarse tea and light rice are full of three meals, all thanks to Shi Niang (mother's relatives)!" and then bowed and thanked Qi Qi.
"What rotten rules...... Li Mengru muttered in a low voice, and then sat down heavily, and the chair and the ground made a noise, as if to express her dissatisfaction.
Chen Zhiyi didn't pay attention to it, but warmly greeted Yu Xinshuang with vegetables: "Miss Yu, you are leaving tomorrow, come and try this braised carp, it is my specialty, and Ming'er likes to eat it the most." ”
"Thank you, senior. Facing the gentle and virtuous woman, Yu Xinshuang subconsciously stretched out her hand, sandwiched a piece of delicious red meat, and chewed it slowly.
Yu Xinshuang raised her eyes and looked over, only to see Chen Zhiyi's face full of expectation, and her eyes were rolling! Her face suddenly showed a trace of crampedness, and even her whole body was a little at a loss, like three feet of ice gradually melting, even if she prided herself on being hard-hearted, how could she not be moved in the face of someone who really treated her well.
In the dim candlelight, a beautiful and incomparable woman seemed to recall the past, and the things she had lost were put back to life in such a gloomy night.
"How's it going, is it delicious?"
At this moment, the soft voice was like a wave, constantly impacting her heart, and suddenly her thoughts surged, and the frost mask that shrouded her finally slowly hung down weakly.
Once upon a time, did someone do this to you? After many years, will you never forget it?
She nodded slightly, clutching her slender hand, and it seemed that even her breathing had become a little slower, and her chest rose and fell slightly. She looked at the flickering candle flame in a daze, and finally made up her mind:
"Delicious, Aunt Chen. ”
This sentence, soft voice!
She said softly, following her heart, this moment was never more relaxed, and the whole person calmed down, like smoke and water.
was dumbfounded, just looked at Yu Xinshuang in a daze, and the flickering firelight reflected on that cold face, as if there was a little more tenderness.
"That'...... Then the girl will eat more. ”
Chen Zhiyi couldn't believe his ears at this time, dignified and generous like her, his face was also full of incredulity, and then smiled softly.
.........
The moon hangs on the branches, and there is no wind.
After dinner, the group chatted for a while and then dispersed. In the silent courtyard, Jiang Ming held the Qianchen Immortal Sword, his steps were light and continuous.
He didn't dare to slack off on this Jade Qing Sword, once a day in the morning and once in the evening. Every time, I have a feeling of calmness, but at this time, my breathing is disordered, and my heart is absolutely quiet.
His heart moved like the shadow of a sword. Tomorrow is the end of the audition, and tomorrow someone will be leaving......
Jiang Ming was so distraught that he didn't notice the slender figure standing not far away at some point. He barely fought the Yuqing sword, but he was tangible and godless.
I don't know why, but I suddenly thought of the shadow that was lonelier than the moonlight, and also thought of the sparkling water that night and the clear conscience she said.
When he put his sword into the sheath, the figure stepped on Qinghui. Dressed in blue and white, he is still holding something in his hand, and he can't see it really.
"Miss Yu, why are you here?" Jiang Ming felt embarrassed as if he had been caught as a thief, and he didn't dare to look directly at those bright eyes, and his voice was also low.
The woman, who was as cold as frost on weekdays, smiled slightly at the corner of her mouth for some reason, as if she had changed someone, and said, "Senior Brother Jiang is still thinking about tomorrow's competition?"
Jiang Ming realized that he was too nervous, his heart relaxed slightly, and he pretended to be surprised and asked, "How did you know?"
"I saw you practicing my sword, so I waited a little more time next to me, but I looked at you absent-mindedly. Yu Xinshuang's voice was faint and extremely beautiful.
Jiang Ming smiled and asked, "Is there something wrong with Miss Yu coming to me?" When he raised his head, he saw the goose yellow dress in her hand, and he suddenly guessed it in his heart.
"I want to ask Senior Brother Jiang to help me return my clothes to Senior Sister Li. Yu Xinshuang whispered softly, as if it was a little difficult to speak.
"It's okay, it's not troublesome. ”
Looking at the clothes she handed out, Jiang Ming subconsciously stretched out his hand, but only carefully took a corner, for fear of touching her jade onion finger.
At this moment, there was a faint fragrance, and it came secretly.
Jiang Ming suddenly felt a little disheartened for some reason, vaguely missed something, and said: "Senior sister is actually very kind-hearted, you have helped us so many times, she will definitely not embarrass Miss Yu anymore." ”
Yu Xinshuang smiled, "I naturally know, then thank you Senior Brother Jiang." With that, he turned around and walked away slowly.
Her slender figure walked farther and farther away, and gradually disappeared into the hazy night.
Jiang Ming was a little distracted, her smile seemed to come from the eternal darkness, with a quiet beauty, imprinted with the moonlight and stars in the sky.
What kind of woman is she?
The air is filled with a faint fragrance and a soft touch in the palm of your hand. Jiang Ming came back to his senses, looked down at the goose yellow clothes in his hand, and his face burned for no reason, slightly hot.
What's wrong with me?" he shook his head violently, swayed his thoughts out of his mind, and walked towards the other corner of the compound.
Although Jiang Ming and Li Mengru's residences are far away, the courtyard of the Heart Cultivation Hall is not very large. Jiang Ming took advantage of the moonlight to walk along the bluestone path that he didn't know how many times, and walked towards the light in front of him.
