Chapter 318 Releasing the River Lantern
After thinking about it, in the end, Lou Shenghao still picked up a pen and wrote the line "I wish Lou Shenghao and Ji Caidao a happy day" on the paper. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
"Lou Shenghao, is this your real name?" Ji Caidao also knew the name of the Demon Emperor for the first time, so he was inevitably a little curious.
Lou Shenghao glanced at Ji Caidao and said with a smile: "What's the matter, only your father is allowed to name you Ji Caidao, and my father is not allowed to call me Lou Shenghao? Or do you think that I was born without a name?"
Soon Ji Caidao put away his curiosity and stopped talking to Lou Shenghao, just hoping that he could defeat Gu Huaiyan and successfully obtain the Lotus River Lantern.
The middle-aged man walked over and pointed to the elevated highway and said with a smile: "Since the two of you have already written your wishes, then please go and get the Lotus River Lantern! Whoever gets the Lotus River Lantern first will become the leader of this conference and win one hundred taels of silver!"
"Lou Shenghao, I received what you asked Youyou to bring me, do you dare to have a fair competition with me without internal strength and light skills!" Gu Huaiyan tidied up his sleeves and suddenly asked Lou Shenghao this sentence.
After listening to Gu Huaiyan's suggestion, Lou Shenghao showed a look of uneagerness: "It's rare that the two of us will have the same idea." Well, let's just say it, none of us are allowed to use martial arts. Just like ordinary people to have a competition, whoever gets the Lotus River Lantern first will be considered a victory, and whoever uses internal force and light power during this period will be considered a loser. ”
After the discussion, both of them rushed towards the lotus river lantern at the top of the elevated highway as fast as they could.
A group of people watching the excitement under the high stage kept shouting cheers for the two of them.
And Liu Yanxue and Ji Caidao were still standing on the stage, each holding a note in their hands. For Liu Yanxue, it doesn't matter if there is a lotus river lamp or not, Gu Huaiyan's words written on the note have long been better than all materials.
Ji Caidao also took the note written by Lou Shenghao and looked at it: "Lou Shenghao, what a beautiful name." Why didn't I know that before?"
Let's not talk about Ji Caidao and Gu Huaiyan, in this world, except for Lou Shenghao himself and the elders of the family, the first person to know his name should be Gu Huaiyan.
And at this moment, Ji Caidao didn't know what she was thinking in her heart, it was already a great gift that she could appear on the same piece of paper as the Demon Emperor's name, and it was written by the Demon Emperor himself, how could she dare to have other extravagant hopes! The only thing she was looking forward to was that she hoped that it wouldn't be over so quickly today.
"Do you like your brother?" Seeing that Ji Caidao was holding the note alone in a daze, as if she had something on her mind, Liu Yanxue walked over and naturally asked that sentence.
Ji Caidao was asked by Liu Yanxue for a while, this is something she has never dared to think of, she was asked by Liu Yanxue like this, how should she answer?
After thinking about it for a long time, Ji Caidao blessed Liu Yanxue slightly: "Thank you to the Liu Palace Master for the matter of Fang Cai, I wish the Liu Palace Master and Gu Shaoxia and his wife are harmonious, and their love is white."
Between me and him...... I'm afraid that the Liu Palace Lord has misunderstood, and the emperor and I are not as the Liu Palace Lord thinks. It's just that going out today is not like being in the Netherworld, in order to save unnecessary trouble, I am commensurate in the name of brother and sister, and I am still just a humble maid by his side. ”
Liu Yanxue stretched out her hand very friendly: "Although it is the first time we meet, I inexplicably think that you are a very good girl, if there is anything unspeakable, you might as well say it, maybe I can solve your problems." ”
"The good intentions of the palace lord of Liu, Caidao has it. People like me who have a thin life have long since stopped expecting any love and love...... That's not what I should have. ”
After saying that, Ji Caidao retreated to the side, only looking at Lou Shenghao not far away.
Liu Yanxue sighed softly: "What a good girl, she really shouldn't be so arrogant." If you don't try it, how will you know if the result is satisfactory? ”
is also a woman, how could she not know Ji Caidao's intentions. But she didn't know that Ji Caidao had no chance, no rights, and was not as lucky as her.
Everyone looked intently at the two of them who were climbing on the elevated road, and everyone wondered who would be the luckiest person this year.
And Gu Huaiyan and Lou Shenghao both abided by the "gentleman's agreement", and neither of them used internal force and light industry, but just worked hard to climb up. They also all want to be like ordinary people, relying on their own strength to win the lotus river lantern for the people who are waiting for them.
Although they did not use internal force and light power, the two were still evenly matched, and they were at the same height for a long time. Seeing that the two of them were getting closer and closer to the lotus river lantern at the top, the atmosphere suddenly became tense.
Lou Shenghao suddenly lowered his head and looked at Ji Caidao on the stage, and Ji Caidao was also looking at him. When the four eyes met, Lou Shenghao seemed to see something different in Ji Caidao's eyes. It was a very gentle look, just like Bai Yuxian looked at Zhong Liyou.
As soon as he thought of Bai Yu Xian, Lou Shenghao's shadow really appeared in front of his eyes, and he clearly saw that it was Bai Yu Xian who was standing on the stage and staring at him. He clearly saw that Bai Yuxian was smiling at himself, the smile was so sweet, so beautiful, Lou Shenghao also reciprocated the same smile to her.
But soon, in just the blink of an eye, the white jade immortal who was originally smiling at him suddenly dissipated like the wind, and was replaced by Ji Caidao's smiling face.
It turned out that everything was an illusion, caused by missing her too much.
Bai Yuxian received ninety-nine lashes from himself, and he must still be seriously injured now, so how could he appear here. I don't know, he punished her ruthlessly, will she hate herself?
Just when he was thinking about Bai Yuxian, he was suddenly pulled back by a burst of applause, it turned out that Gu Huaiyan had climbed to the top and reached out to pick up the lotus river lantern. Lou Shenghao saw that he had lost the game, and he was so anxious that he stepped on the air and fell straight down.
"Brother be careful!" the panicked Ji Caidao shouted loudly and ran to the stage, her concern for him was obvious, and it was no longer as simple as her subordinates treating their masters.
For a while, Lou Shenghao actually forgot that he was a person who knew martial arts, so he let his body fall down, and the spectators in the audience suddenly became nervous again.
"I broke the promise and you won. Gu Huaiyan handed the lotus river lantern to Lou Shenghao.
Although Gu Huaiyan had already obtained the Lotus River Lantern, he still used light skills to save Lou Shenghao. Lou Shenghao, who was in a daze, recalled that it was indeed Gu Huaiyan who saved him at the critical moment, and it was he who used light skills to hold the falling self and gently fell to the ground at the critical moment, so that he was spared.
At this time, Liu Yanxue and Ji Caidao rushed to the two of them with the note and the middle-aged man. The middle-aged man saw that the Lotus River Lantern was held by Lou Shenghao, and announced that he was the winner of this lantern festival on the spot, and held one hundred taels of silver in front of Lou Shenghao with a smile: "This son, congratulations." ”
Lou Shenghao pushed the silver back into the middle-aged man's hand: "I only need this lotus river lamp, and the silver will be used to help the people of those poor families." ”
Hearing this, the middle-aged man looked at him with admiration: "It is really commendable that the son is so kind-hearted at such a young age. ”
With the continuous applause and the sound of thanks, Lou Shenghao thanked Gu Huaiyan and walked straight to Ji Caidao: "How about my brother take you to put the river lantern?"
"Okay, let's go put the river lanterns. Ji Caidao nodded hurriedly, she didn't care about the one hundred and zero silver.
When passing by Gu Huaiyan, Lou Shenghao patted him on the shoulder in a friendly manner: "Gu Huaiyan, you didn't lose to me, you lost to yourself." ”
"Maybe you're right, but this time I'm willing to lose. In the future, I will never let you again. Gu Huaiyan smiled lightly, then took Liu Yanxue's hand, and slowly disappeared from Lou Shenghao's sight.
After Gu Huaiyan took Liu Yanxue away, Lou Shenghao also brought Ji Caidao to the river. The two squatted by the river, pasted the note written by Lou Shenghao and put it on the lit lotus river lantern, and watched it float away with the many river lanterns.
Looking at the river lanterns drifting farther and farther away, Ji Caidao couldn't help but ask, "Brother, where do you say these and lanterns will float to? Will they come back?"
"Answer me a question, do you like me?" Lou Shenghao somehow asked Ji Caidao such a question.
Liu Yanxue had also asked this question before, Ji Caidao was stunned for a moment, and then tried to make the expression on his face look natural.
She gently grabbed the corner of Lou Shenghao's clothes and smiled: "How could my brother ask such a strange question?"
Lou Shenghao asked, "This question is very important to me, you must answer me." ”
Ji Caidao lowered his eyelids slightly: "I'm just a maid beside you, and I don't dare to have any thoughts about the emperor." ”
"Now, as an older brother, I ask you, do you like your master?"
Ji Caidao shook his head at this time: "After tonight, the brother-sister relationship between you and me will be broken." When the sun rises tomorrow, I will still be Ji Caidao, and you will still be the Netherworld Demon Emperor of the Netherworld. Whether it is for his brother or the emperor, Caidao only has admiration, and there is no personal relationship between men and women. I just want to be by my brother's side and be faithful to him for the rest of my life...... That's enough. ”
"Don't like me, I'm not a person to be trusted with my life, I don't deserve to be liked by you. Lou Shenghao was obviously very satisfied with Ji Caidao's answer.
Then he looked up at a full moon hanging in the sky and suddenly stood up: "Caidao, it's time for us to go back to the Netherworld." ”
Ji Caidao was reluctant to look at the river lantern, until she could no longer see the shadow of the river lantern, she slowly got up and left with Lou Shenghao.
It's just that the two of them left in too much hurry, and Lou Shenghao didn't notice that Ji Caidao had reached out to wipe his tears under the bright moonlight.
Drifting away with the river, it was not only the river lamp, but also her hazy love for Ji Caidao. It's just that her love, which has just begun, has ended.
