Chapter Eight: Thirty Thousand in the Morning, Only One Star King (I)
Su Changan lived for sixteen years, and rarely encountered such a situation - being watched by hundreds of people at the same time.
The last time was in Nagato Town, when the Holy Emperor made him a baron.
This time it was in Chang'an City, in the main hall of the Eight Desolation Courtyards, where geniuses and demons gathered.
He still felt a little uncomfortable. His hand clenched into a fist and released, not knowing where it should be. Sometimes the head is raised, sometimes the head is lowered, but I don't know where my eyes should fall.
Xiahou Shuyu, who was traveling with her, did not feel the slightest discomfort because of everyone's eyes, she was the princess of Dawei, and she was born to live in the limelight. But she was not happy at all, and when she heard the dark voice, she looked at the people on the high platform in the hall. Suddenly found the position of the first place, flashing with a floodlight name - Su Changan!
She thought of a story she had seen.
The long officials and horses are fat, the spectators are fast, the passengers are happy, and they are driven by gallops, and they die.
She had also asked the Holy Emperor what this paragraph meant. And the Holy Emperor at that time said two words that are still fresh in her memory - kill!
Yes. Kill!
When Su Changan arrived in Chang'an, he did not gather the spirits, except for being surrounded by a group of people with her in Tianlan Courtyard earlier, and he was forced to make a move, so he could defeat a guy like Sun Yinglong, who was notoriously unlearned and unskilled. Although later, he defeated Chu Xidao, but after thinking about it, he knew that it must have been Yuheng who helped. This kind of thing, even she can figure it out, how can the people of the Eight Desolations not know.
Besides, although Su Changan has cultivated in Tianlan Academy during this time, and can even be on an equal footing with her, he has never left the gate of Tianlan Academy, how can outsiders know. And with the level he showed in front of Tianlan Courtyard that day, it was a great fortune to be on the list, how could he be worthy of the prestige of being the first on the list?
After thinking about it, Xiahou Shuyu only felt that there was a possibility, and the Eight Desolations Courtyard deliberately put the little-known Su Chang'an in the first place on the list. In order to arouse the anger of those arrogant students, I want to borrow the hands of the students at the Star Conference to make the Tianlan Courtyard lose face.
It's not that she didn't think that she would take Su Changan's hand now and escape from this Hongmen banquet, but at this moment, everyone is looking at Su Changan, if she leaves like this, she will definitely fall into the reputation of being afraid of war, and she will fall into the arms of the Eight Desolation Courtyard. Therefore, Xiahou Shuyu had no choice but to follow Su Chang'an's side in order to act at the opportunity. And with Su Changan's cultivation, the average student on the list can barely cope with it, if there is really a genius like Xu Dingyue to make a move, it's a big deal that she protects her as the princess of Dawei, and the other party doesn't dare to go too far.
And Su Changan naturally didn't think of so much, and after the initial discomfort of being watched by everyone faded, his eyes finally found the owner of the yin sound in the crowd.
It was an old man, with white hair, but his waist was straight, the contours of his face were like a knife, and under his shining eyes, the nose protruding like a hook was particularly striking.
"Do you know me?" Su Changan finally asked, he didn't remember that he had seen the old man, but the old man obviously recognized him, which made him feel very strange.
"Su Gongzi is a genius on the first day of the Chang'an list, how can I not know. The hook-nosed old man replied. He added an accent to the word "first", and the students around him had more or less indignant expressions on their faces when they heard the words. As early as the first glance, they could see that Su Chang'an's cultivation was no more than the Gathering Spirit Realm, and the young man who could have a place in the Star Conference was not a genius selected by thousands of states and counties, and Su Changan, who could gather spirits, was riding on their heads, how could these arrogant teenagers and girls be satisfied?
Su Changan didn't think that the hook-nosed old man was reasonable, but he didn't want to delve into it. He was more concerned about another question, he looked at the old man, and asked very seriously: "It's really rare for a freshman of your age. ”
Su Changan's tone was very sincere, so sincere that he couldn't find fault with it, as if he was really admiring the perseverance of the hook-nosed old man.
He did really admire the old man, but the students around him didn't think so, and the hook-nosed old man didn't think so.
So after a brief silence, there was a burst of laughter from the crowd, but it quickly stopped. Because the face of the old man with a hooked nose suddenly became gloomy, with his murderous life in Chang'an City, no matter how many students thought they were extraordinary, they would not dare to save the face of this old man.
Even Xiahou Shuyu's face became extremely wonderful when Su Changan said this. Sometimes, she really doesn't understand her junior brother very well. He doesn't seem to be familiar with the world, but whenever he fights with others, he can say some amazing things, but when he says these words, his expression is so serious that it is impossible to understand what he thinks in his heart.
"Huh. At that moment, a silver bell-like laugh came. The voice suddenly sounded in the hall that had become quiet, and everyone's eyes couldn't help but look in the direction from which the voice came.
saw a girl in a white veil, walking towards Su Changan. She was tall and graceful, her lips were red, and her teeth were as white as snow. There is autumn water in his eyes, with a charming spring color, and his long black hair is tied into a ponytail, which naturally falls behind him, adding a bit of heroism.
The moment she appeared, all eyes in the hall were attracted to her. But she didn't seem to be aware of it, still looking at Su Changan with a smile and strolling over.
Su Changan's expression became strange, while Xiahou Shuyu's face became extremely ugly.
Finally, she walked less than a meter in front of Su Changan, and an indescribable, but very good aroma came from her face.
"Master Su, long time no see. The woman said.
"I haven't seen you for a long time. Su Changan said, his gaze was a little evasive, and he didn't dare to meet the woman's eyes.
This woman is the king of the Jin Dynasty in the north, the ancient family Jingtian and the ancient envy monarch!
"Then it's a little woman's wishful thinking, and I'm lovesick. A look of grievance appeared on Gu Xianjun's face, and he didn't feel distressed when he saw it.
Gu Xianjun is different from Su Changan, although she was born in the north, her beauty and talent have long been well-known in Great Wei, and I don't know how many noble children of Great Wei regard her as their dream lover. Recently, the news of Gu Xianjun's arrival in Chang'an has aroused the frenzy of those admirers, and the noble disciples who visited her in front of her mansion do not know how much, but most of them have returned, and a few lucky ones are lucky enough to meet her, and it is a matter of great face in front of friends.
At this moment, Su Changan and Gu Xianjun looked like old acquaintances, and the dissatisfaction with Su Changan in everyone's hearts became even stronger.
But Su Changan couldn't be happy, he was sixteen years old, and logically speaking, he had reached the age of the beginning of love, he also had a girl he liked, and he also liked to stay with beautiful girls. For example, his senior sister Xiahou Shuyu is a very beautiful girl. Gu Xianjun was born very beautiful, more beautiful than Momo, and even more beautiful than her senior sister, but Su Changan didn't like to stay with her at all.
On that day, in order not to expose his whereabouts and not to implicate Su Changan, Wutong erased everyone's memory. Su Changan even made up a story of a mysterious man who rescued everyone. Everyone was naturally convinced, first, they had indeed escaped death and successfully escaped, and second, they felt that Su Changan had no reason to deceive them.
But I don't know if Wutong's amnesia technique is wrong, or if this Gu Xianjun is different, she has many questions about many things that night, and she asked Su Changan again and again, although Su Changan prevaricated for various reasons. But since then, her attitude towards Su Changan has become a little ambiguous, making Su Changan faintly feel that Gu Xianjun has more or less noticed the truth of that night. So on the way here, Su Changan has been avoiding Gu Xianjun under various excuses, unwilling to have more contact with her, afraid that he will lose if he talks too much. But I didn't want to meet her again at the Star Conference.
"Gu Xiaohou, don't come unharmed. At this time, Xiahou Shuyu on the side suddenly spoke.
"Isn't this Princess Shuyu, I heard that you have entered Tianlan Academy, what a gratifying congratulations. Gu Xianjun seemed to have just seen Xiahou Shuyu now, and his face showed a look of surprise. But although she said congratulations, there was no trace of celebration in her tone, but there was a slight hint of mockery.
Xiahou Shuyu's face became more and more ugly. She doesn't like Gu Xianjun, or she hates Gu Xianjun very much. One of them is the princess of the Great Wei Dynasty, and the other is the daughter of the King of Jin in the North. It can be said unceremoniously that they are the two most noble girls in the entire Great Wei Dynasty.
Because their identities are almost the same, and they are all born with the beauty of the country, they are naturally inevitably compared together. Although Xiahou Shuyu is also talented in cultivation, she is not as good as Gu Xianjun and other demons, as early as two years ago, she was already in the Nine Star Realm, and it is even rumored that she has recently broken through to the Fanchen Realm, which is not a blow to Xiahou Shuyu who is still in the Nine Star Realm.
And since childhood, Xiahou Shuyu has been living in the shadow of Gu Xianjun. When she was called a genius by the kendo master, Gu Xianjun had already gathered spirits; not long after she gathered her spirits, Gu Xianjun was already in the Nine Star Realm; finally she broke through to the Nine Star Realm, and worshiped under the Yuheng Sect of Tianlan Courtyard, but Gu Xianjun was already a master of the Fanchen Realm.
Xiahou Shuyu thinks that she is not the kind of person who cares about fame, but she always lives in the shadow of someone, which makes her unable to be happy after all, let alone like this person.
