There was a strange silence for a moment.
All around him was the sound of rumbling wind.
The momentum is surging and mighty...
Not far away, a girl in green clothes had bulging cheeks and was as chubby as a pig, just like the old days in the Southern Region.
Although the two hadn't seen each other for several years, she didn't feel any sense of alienation. She just rushed forward happily, jumping around Chen Heng, tugging at his sleeves curiously, and asking questions from time to time.
Chen Heng's eyelids lowered slightly, covering his eyes calmly, his expression remained as usual.
He didn't feel bored by the verbosity, so he just listened quietly and responded with a few words.
The sound is clear and smooth, as usual...
And he rambled on for a while.
I asked Chen Heng what happened in the past few years.
Qingzhi was also surprised, with a strange look in his eyes. He scanned Chen Heng up and down several times, as if he recognized the person in front of him for the first time.
"You have only been in Yuchen Lower Court for a few years, but you already want to become one of the top ten disciples and go to Xiaoming Daze to practice?
And this time, the choice of son-in-law is also to compete for the top spot, borrowing the cave from these big loaches? "
Qingzhi muttered:
"You must have taken the elixir to advance in cultivation. How come you are so fast? You are not much worse than Miss!"
If you can really succeed, borrow Cave Heaven, and pass Yuchen's Four Courts Competition, then you will truly soar to the sky, and you will owe these big loaches a favor. How can they die in beauty? "
"Leaving aside the big competition, the people who can enter the next Dharma Assembly are not easy to compete with. I am not sure of winning. I can be ranked first. I still need to plan a lot."
Chen Heng shook his head.
"that."
Qingzhi burped, scratched his head in embarrassment, and said cautiously:
"You came to this Dragon Palace Dharma Ceremony just to borrow some space from the cave. That Dragon Girl..."
The person opposite her seemed silent for a moment, and then a voice came out, saying calmly:
"Since I am determined to practice cultivation, I cannot care about other things. I am afraid that no matter how difficult it is to be distracted, asking to marry the Dragon Girl is not what I want."
"That's fine! Just don't marry the dragon girl!"
Qingzhi didn't hear anything. He just put his hands on his hips and chuckled. He didn't know what he thought of, but he seemed to feel relieved.
"It's you, Qingzhi, why are you in the Dragon Palace?"
Chen Heng asked.
"I've done things badly. I'm too embarrassed to go back to Lutai Mountain for fear of being beaten."
Qingzhi jumped up and patted Chen Heng on the shoulder sadly, then looked at him again and muttered unconsciously:
"But now it seems that it's not that bad. I've been so worried these past few days..."
After saying this, she also remembered the business, and a look of guilt flashed across her face.
He drew his neck back, pointed towards the cloud head, and said loudly:
"I still have something to tell you. Stop bragging here and go down. I'll treat you to dinner!"
"Qingzhi is rich now?"
Chen Heng smiled slightly.
"It's different from that time in the Southern Territory. I don't have to spend money to eat at Dragon Palace!"
Qingzhi patted his chest and spoke boldly:
"You just tell me what you want to eat, and it's all taken care of by Qingzhi!"
…
About half an hour later.
Dragon Palace, a shell palace decorated with tranquility and elegance.
The maids in colorful clothes were constantly passing through the venue like flowing water. The long table in front of Qingzhi was already in a mess with plates and cups overturned.
Look at the chubby girl devouring her food, then choking and rolling her eyes.
Chen Heng shook his head, put down the tea cup, and said with a smile:
"Qingzhi, it's okay to speak out if you have something to say. This is not like your temperament when you were in the Southern Territory."
Qingzhi raised his eyebrows when he heard this and struggled to swallow the food in his mouth.
She patted her belly.
Now, after eating again, I feel as if my mind has calmed down a lot, and I finally have the confidence to face the unspeakable incident of the past.
After Qingzhi rubbed her face vigorously, she looked at Chen Heng seriously and said apologetically:
"Well, do you still remember the time when you and the lady were in Fuyupo? It was during the Si Festival. I saw a flower branch hidden under your sleeve, and I knew that you and the lady had made an appointment to go see it together that night. Light.
But the lady didn't come that night...
I’m sorry, actually those words were not what Miss Qingzhi meant, they were made up by Qingzhi, I——”
"I know."
Suddenly a quiet voice sounded, interrupting Qingzhi's words.
"..."
There was a brief moment of shock and then.
Qingzhi looked at the person opposite him blankly, his mind seemed to be stuck for a moment.
She opened her mouth again and again, but no words came out.
"I know, that's not what senior sister meant."
Chen Heng's eyes were drooped. Half of the light from the five-color palace lantern above his head fell into his eyes, but there was no color at all.
It only appears to be even deeper and darker, like an ancient well whose bottom can never be seen...
"I knew it from the beginning..."
He said.
Qingzhi stood up in confusion without waiting.
The voice sounded again, calm and calm, with no emotional ups and downs:
"With the body of an ant, floating like duckweed, and unable to control life and death, how can you dare to ask for any extravagant love?
So being able to see this place clearly, in my heart, I just feel grateful and relieved...
In fact, since I came to this world, my life has been precarious. Only when I was in Fuyubo, I managed to have a period of peace and security. "
Chen Heng paused and smiled:
"At that time, senior sister was one of the few people who would treat me well..."
Qingzhi's heart sank inexplicably.
Just as she was about to speak, she was interrupted by Chen Heng raising his hand slightly.
"Qingzhi, I also have something to tell you."
"ah?"
Qingzhi pointed to his nose blankly:
"What's up?"
"I killed a man."
In the silence, Chen Heng's voice was calm and cold, and he said to himself:
"Her name is Wei Wanhua."
No time to react.
It was as if there was a muffled thunder in the head!
Qingzhi's body shook unconsciously, and there were a few bangs, followed by the shattering of cups and plates, echoing in the room with a crisp, sharp sound.
"How could it be her..."
Her pupils shrank suddenly and she muttered to herself.
…
…
I don’t know how long it took.
Wait until Qingzhi wakes up from his confusion.
The two of them had walked out of the palace and stood on the street.
She looked up blankly and saw the colorful light shining brightly, like a silver hank, shining through Jiuhua, clear and graceful, the atmosphere became more prosperous, and it was a wonderful scene of an immortal family.
But it somehow reminded her of those tacky lanterns and fireworks on Fuyubopu Island...
Qingzhi hesitated again and again, and finally gently tugged on Chen Heng's sleeve, raised her face to look at him, and sighed helplessly:
"It doesn't matter that I didn't know that something like this happened, but now that I've heard about it, I can't help but go back to Lutai Mountain, otherwise it will be miserable.
Well...do you have anything to tell Qingzhi? "
Chen Heng lowered his eyes and shook his head slightly after a while, but was speechless. His eyes were as calm as water, without any waves.
"The matter has come to this, what can be said."
…
same moment.
In the void in the distance.
An old yellow dog wagged its tail, its brows couldn't help but frown, feeling annoyed in its heart, and the expression on its face was extremely ugly:
"No way... I am here to protect the Lord loyally, but I still hear such things?"
…
…
And ten days later.
In the attic residence.
Chen Heng suddenly regained his breath and put away the Xuan Gong.
