In the window on the right side of the corridor, Ding Maozhuo clasped his hands in front of his chest, leaned sideways against the window, and stood leaning.

In Huang Linzhan's eyes, the window at this time, together with Ding Maozhuo's waist-length body, looks like a certain genre of painting in continental Europe far away from the land, but this "painting" in front of him is purely a realistic school in the Central Plains compared with those schools that are more inclined to art in expression.

The window is framed, and the boy in the window is the painting itself.

In the "painting", the young man is dressed in gorgeous brocade, the green silk is tied into a common bun in the mainland in a rigorous and orderly manner, the delicate facial features on the contour of the face, the slightly raised corners of the mouth seem to be smiling and not smiling, which is particularly eye-catching, the eyes are not worried, and the face is not mediocre, it is simply the male version of "Mona Lisa's Smile".

Looking at Ding Maozhuo and thinking of the European School of painting, Huang Linzhan couldn't help but smile.

Seeing Huang Linzhan smiling strangely at himself, giving people a feeling of being in the wrong, Ding Maozhuo's heart straightened and said, "Why, are you so happy to see me?"

Putting away his smile, Huang Linzhan replied: "It's not happy, but it's a little unexpected, a little unexpected." ”

"How so?"

"It stands to reason that after the Hongmen banquet is over, you should have followed Hall Master Ding back to Chu Nan at this moment, but it has to be surprising that you actually appeared here at this moment. The reason for the surprise ......"

Huang Linzhan paused, thought for a moment, and said, "The reason why I was surprised was because ...... It's a pleasure to see you. ”

Huang Linzhan said that it was an accident, to be exact, it was a doubt, after all, with the end of the Hongmen banquet, the representatives of the banquet from all over the country left one after another, including Chu Nan Huxiao Hall, but at this moment, the young hall master of Huxiao Hall still stayed in Hongmen, which really made people unclear. But Ding Maozhan's words at the banquet made Huang Linzhan have a good impression of him, because since the fall of the Demon Hunting Regiment, the murderer behind the scenes is unknown, except for a few people, in Huang Linzhan's heart, everyone he saw may be one of the murderers who participated in the slaughter of the Tiger Hunting Hall, so Huang Linzhan saw no one pleasing to the eye, except Ding Maozhuo in front of him, this is the person he has come all the way from the Demon Hunting Group and looks the most pleasing to the eye.

"That...... Ashamed. ”

"Huh?"

"Anyway, I'm glad I met you. ”

Huang Linzhan's sentence "I'm very happy to see you", Ding Maozhuo suddenly looked happy, but after thinking about it, Huang Linzhan and himself were only the second time they met, so they were so enthusiastic about themselves, and as the young hall master of the dignified Tiger Laughing Hall, he actually had the idea of "Phantom Life" before, and he was embarrassed for a while, and felt ashamed of the Huang Linzhan in front of him.

As the overlord of one side, Ding Maozhuo knew very well that before seeing Huang Linzhan, he always lived in the shadow of Qi Wenbin Hong's anti-heaven geniuses, although he had the same status as them, but they were more genius than himself, they could win glory for their respective family sects, be admired by thousands of people, and be worshiped by the world, but what about themselves? In addition to the identity of being looked up to by the world, but his qualifications are mediocre, not to mention giving Chu Nanhu a long face, his father Ding Shanyue is even embarrassed to let himself appear, no matter how hard he works, he will always be useless in the eyes of his father, and this Hongmen banquet, if it is not related to the marriage with Mu Wangcheng, it is impossible for his father Ding Shanyue to bring himself to the banquet.

It is precisely because of this reason that Ding Maozhuo's desire to become stronger is extremely strong, so there was a scene where he sneaked into Ji Menglan's room before and wanted to steal "Phantom Life".

However, at this Hongmen banquet, Huang Linzhan, who had never heard anyone talk about it on the mainland, actually dared to speak in front of Qi Wenbin, a recognized genius on the mainland, and in front of all the major forces in the world, and proudly vowed to take the top position in the Heroes Association, and his courage had to impress Ding Maozhuo.

Ding Maozhuo also knows very well that it is not just a random person with commendable courage who can stand up and compete with Hong Zhaosheng Qi Wenbin and other geniuses, and don't say that top geniuses like Qi Hong, maybe among the four heroes of Qi Mountain, except for Qi Wenbin, Huang Linzhan may not be able to catch up with it, because several of the three heroes are also geniuses, but their genius dawn is all blocked by Qi Wenbin.

But above the Hongmen banquet, the appearance of Huang Linzhan made Ding Maozhuo understand a truth, that is, although fate is determined by heaven, but things are man-made, as long as you can make unremitting efforts, the carp can jump over the dragon gate iron pestle can be sharpened into a needle, it is true that there is a genius in the world, but who dares to guarantee that the last one to stand on the top of the peaks is the original genius?

Ding Maozhuo's inexplicable words made Huang Linzhan also inexplicable, for Ding Maozhuo's "ashamed", Huang Linzhan didn't know that it was because Ding Maozhuo had the idea of "Phantom Life" and was ashamed, let alone because Ding Maozhuo admired Huang Linzhan's courage and was ashamed.

But no matter what, Huang Linzhan's appreciation for Ding Maozhuo is still undiminished.

Recalling that at the Hongmen banquet that day, when he proudly said that he wanted to take the top position in the Heroes Association, he was ridiculed and ridiculed by the banquet representatives who came from all over the venue, suffered from everyone's contempt, and suffered from everyone's cold eyes.

Regardless of whether he relied on the strength of Huxiaotang or Ding Shan's crossing, he dared to say that others did not dare to speak, only he didn't think that Huang Linzhan's desire to win the top of the list of heroes was not a fool's dream, and only he dared to face Qi Wenbin who defended the top spot like himself, although Huang Linzhan must win the top spot of the group and not against Qi Wenbin, and no matter what kind of person Ding Maozhuo was before, but the person presented in Huang Linzhan's eyes was the overlord of Southern Chu who dared to act and dare to speak out and be ashamed, Ding Maozhuo.

"My name is Huang Linzhan, and I'm from the Tiger Hunting Hall in the Demon City. ”

"I know. ”

"My name is Ding Maozhuo, and I am from Chu Nanhu Laughing Hall. ”

"I know. ”

"You are behind the chapel, I am after the lobby. ”

......

"Haha... Haha, haha... Hahaha......"

The two looked at each other for a moment, and then burst into laughter, all revealing a sense of sympathy.

Although the two of them already knew each other's origins when they were at the Hongmen banquet, but at this moment, the two introduced themselves to each other, but they really knew each other, perhaps in the eyes of others, this link seemed a little redundant, but in the eyes of the two, this is very necessary, because this is a legendary collision.

Ding Maozhuo jumped forward, crossed the courtyard, and walked to the corridor.

The two of them walked side by side, communicating with each other, along the corridor, towards Hu Sheng's residence.

Last night, the bright moon was shining, perhaps in the eyes of many people, today must be a day of high sunshine, but there are unforeseen circumstances, just when Huang Linzhan and Ding Maozhuo disappeared at the corner of the corridor, a flash of aurora accompanied by a rumbling deafening thunder sounded, and the previously sunny sky was dim and abnormal in an instant.

On the eaves of the blue tiles on the opposite side of the corridor, an afterimage swept past when the sky instantly became dark.

In the sky above the Hongyan wall, a dark cloud is sweeping overwhelmed.

Huang Linzhan, who led Ding Maozhuo to the door of Hu Sheng's house and was about to raise his hand to knock on the door, stopped his movements when the thunder and lightning intersected, turned around, looked up at the drowsiness of the sky, and said to himself: "The last storm before the cold winter is coming. ”
