That day, Lu Xinrui left the inn angrily, and Yan Nianxin followed her silently. The two searched for several days in Wuyou Town, but could not find out Ji Beichen's whereabouts.
It was noon, and the two of them were hungry, so they randomly found a street noodle stall to sit down and have lunch. Not long after, two bowls of dried pork noodles were placed on the table. Yan Nianxin was so hungry that he quickly finished the noodles in front of him.
But Lu Xinrui didn't move at all. She suspected that her brother-in-law gave the order to hide Ji Beichen's whereabouts, but this idea was immediately overturned by her.
If he didn't want the two of them to meet, the simplest and clearest way would be to send her back to Jiujie Mountain. Why would he need to fight with his fourth uncle for them in the inn?
Since Yan Mingxiu wasn't hiding it, it could only be that Ji Beichen was hiding from her on purpose. Lu Xinrui lost her appetite when she thought of this, and lowered her head in frustration: "Do you think Senior Brother Ji hates me? Otherwise, why would he ignore me? "
Yan Nianxin shook his head. He didn't know what Ji Beichen thought of Lu Xinrui, but he had a rough guess about Ji Beichen's whereabouts.
The two of them wandered around Wuyou Town for most of the day. The streets were talking about Magistrate Kong's oppression of Juhe Jianzhuang. Ji Beichen was very proficient in sword making and had always hated evil. He guessed that Ji Beichen would not let this matter go unchecked. .
At first, he had selfish reasons and didn't want to tell Lu Xinrui, but now that he saw her anxious, he couldn't help but feel nervous, so he stopped hiding it and said bluntly: "I will take you there, but the foster father's side..."
When Lu Xinrui heard this, she immediately became happy. She immediately closed her pink mouth tightly and covered it tightly with her hands. Then she picked up the chopsticks and ate the noodles happily.
Seeing her so happy, Yan Nianxin's heart sank, and he muttered sourly: "Do you like him that much?"
Lu Xinrui chuckled, her young face flushed slightly, and she lowered her head in embarrassment and replied: "Senior Brother Ji is so kind to me on weekdays, of course I like him!"
Yan Nianxin frowned, thinking that if he rebelled against his father Yan Mingxiu, he would have to give up if he didn't fight for it! He hesitated for a moment, looked at the smiling little junior sister, and summoned up the courage to ask: "So junior sister, do you think I treat you as well as senior brother Ji?"
Lu Xinrui nodded subconsciously, and then shook her head like a rattle. She didn't want to forgive this idiot so easily. Unless she took her to see Senior Brother Ji now, she wouldn't believe a word of what Yan Nianxin said in the future!
This ambiguous answer made Yan Nianxin take a long breath. Although he was slightly disappointed, at least he finally spoke.
Yan Nianxin's disappointed eyes were caught by Lu Xinrui. A trace of melancholy flashed through his originally happy mood, and he hurriedly said to comfort: "Don't be so disappointed! I just said I like you. We are of the same age and grew up together. How could this happen? Don’t like that?”
Yan Nianxin was slightly startled. It turned out that she had some weight in her heart, and her words today were enough.
He no longer hesitated and said with a long sigh of relief: "Senior Brother Ji is still in Wuyou Town. Junior Sister Xinrui can come with me."
Lu Xinrui was afraid that Yan Nianxin would regret it, so she took his hand and ran out of the noodle stall, completely unaware that a man in Tsing Yi had been following behind them.
The man in green was about to get up and chase after him, but he was rudely blocked by a woman in pink. She pinched her waist with both hands and shouted angrily: "Wang Yuanting! You want to get rid of me again!"
The man in green was none other than the "Judge in Blue" Wang Yuanting. He hurriedly pulled her into the street and alley, and used his spiritual consciousness to communicate with her: "Junior sister Qingxi, please stop messing around. Do you still want to disobey the palace master's order?"
The alley was narrow and could only accommodate one person. Now that two people were suddenly squeezed in, it was very crowded. Wang Yuanting could only hold himself up with his arms to prevent the two from getting too close.
That day he and Yan Yueli returned to the valley together, and then came back to look for Shen Qingxi who was left alone in Wuyou Town.
When Shen Qingxi heard that the two of them were at odds with each other, Wang Yuanting had no choice but to accompany her around Wuyou Town for a few days. Today he received an order from Yan Yueli.
Wang Yuanting was thinking about how to tell her about this, but Shen Qingxi happened to be bedridden, so he left without saying goodbye. He didn't want her to see him but came directly to find him.
"Why can't you take me with you? Am I such an eyesore?" Shen Qingxi pursed her lips. These were all the excuses he used every day, and she wouldn't believe them.
She obviously followed Yan Yueli out of the valley, so why couldn't she go to the magistrate's mansion with them? In the end, she was left alone in Wuyou Town? What kind of mission is it today that requires him to abandon himself again and do it alone?
"No, this mission is a bit tricky. I'm afraid you... won't like it." Wang Yuanting looked embarrassed. He really couldn't let him follow this mission, otherwise he would be in trouble.
Shen Qingxi understood immediately, suppressed her anger, and roared in a low voice: "Is it possible that you are trying to seduce that Chenghuan Sect's old bustard again?"
"Old Madam? Seducing?" Wang Yuanting smiled bitterly. She didn't dare to call the guardian of the Chenghuan Sect any way she dared. Then he sighed heavily, feeling very helpless. The word "seduce" really looked down on him.
He said "sister" and Bai Qingxue obediently put away the magic weapon. There was no need for any seduction. It was just because he had a charming and charming appearance, but he was a very affectionate person.
"You're not allowed to go!" When Shen Qingxi saw that she had guessed correctly, her face turned red with anger, and she cursed in her heart: You Yan Yueli, you know that you have an unusual relationship with Wang Yuanting, but you still let him get along with those little bitches from the Chenghuan Sect. Come and go!
The more Shen Qingxi thought about it, the angrier she became. She grabbed Wang Yuanting's lapel and wanted to go back to the valley to find Yan Yueli's argument, but she forgot that the two of them were deep in the narrow alley at this time. After her pulling, Wang Yuanting directly hugged Shen Qingxi, their skins were touching each other for a moment, and the two of them jumped away instantly like an electric shock.
Shen Qingxi knew she had lost her composure, blushed and walked deeper into the alley with her head lowered. Wang Yuanting followed closely behind her. There was no tacit understanding between the two of them. They walked out of the alley one after another and found an inconspicuous tea stall to sit down.
"It's not Protector Bai." Wang Yuanting spoke first, and just then he realized that Shen Qingxi had misunderstood what he meant. She couldn't laugh or cry on her face, but she was happy in her heart!
It turns out that she cares so much about her contact with other women. Does that mean the relationship between the two can go further? But the old man at the Ghost Doctor Tomb would never let go so easily. Shen Qingxi was the sweet granddaughter he held in the palm of his hand...
"Is that the little girl just now?"
Shen Qingxi's words interrupted Wang Yuanting's thinking. Faced with her relentless questioning, Wang Yuanting had to confess: "She is Ji Beichen's junior sister. The palace master just asked me to lure her out of Wuyou Town."
"That's not okay!" Shen Qingxi's face fell. She heard that Ji Beichen's junior sister is the only daughter of Lu Shenji, the leader of Qingtan Peak. She was born delicate and cute at the age of sixteen or seventeen.
Although she is not as beautiful and handsome as her, she is still a little beauty. If she falls in love with Wang Yuanting at a glance and pesters him every day, she may not be able to sleep at night.
"This matter is easy to handle. Senior brother, please take a rest and wait until I finish it. Let's go to the palace master to report!" After Shen Qingxi finished speaking, she didn't wait for Wang Yuanting's response and directly threw out the spiritual weapon on her waist - the dark attribute magic weapon Soul Seizing Bell. He jumped up with a slight twist of his waist and headed straight for the inn where Ji Beichen was staying.
——
Yan Yueli's food and accommodation have always been the best, and Ji Beichen's accommodation is naturally not bad either. The best inn in Wuyou Town is called Qingfeng Inn. It is not located among the bustling markets, but in the deepest part of the river, streets and alleys in the town.
Yan Nianxin led Lu Xinrui on the quiet River Street. The sky was getting dark, and the shops on the River Street began to light up lanterns. At the end of the water alley was the Qingfeng Inn where Ji Beichen lived. The two of them couldn't help but speed up their pace.
Suddenly, a thin man in his early twenties, wearing an indigo robe, riding a horse, rushed over from the river street.
She was about to bump into Lu Xinrui in front of her, but luckily the newbie Yan Nian beside her was quick and quickly took her into his arms, rushed to the street in one stride, and resolved the crisis without any danger.
The man in the indigo robe stopped his horse, touched the small mustache on his mouth, turned the horse's head in the direction he came from, and rode back arrogantly, stopping in front of Lu Xinrui.
At this time, Lu Xinrui was still in shock, and her childish panic was clearly revealed on her little face.
"Hey, where's the little sister? She's so cute and makes people happy!" Not only did the man in the indigo robe not apologize for his talent, he also looked at the girl in green in front of him with scorching eyes, without any hint of words. polite.
"This young master rode a horse in the street. You were rude in the first place. You should apologize." Yan Nianxin was very angry at the man in indigo robes who stared at Lu Xinrui unscrupulously.
"Who are you? You're so disturbing! You haven't asked your sister her name yet?" The man in the indigo robe was very unhappy. He dismounted and walked forward, still unwilling to leave Lu Xinrui's eyes.
Lu Xinrui came back to her senses slightly, glanced at the man in indigo robes in front of her, then stood firm, raised the corners of her mouth, and replied softly: "My surname is Lu, my name is Xinrui, what do you call me?"
Faced with Lu Xinrui's change, even the diners on He Street stopped to watch the excitement. Yan Nianxin couldn't even get a clue and was frozen there for a moment, not knowing how to react.
The man in the indigo robe laughed loudly, and his deep voice was slightly deliberate. He rolled his eyes, cupped his hands and replied: "Sister Xinrui is so refreshing. Brother, my surname is Wang, my name is Xi, and I am from the capital. Since you and I are so destined, why not How about we go together?"
This man in an indigo robe calls himself Wang Xi. He has delicate eyebrows but a mustache. His facial features are straight, but his words are a bit frivolous, which makes people uncomfortable.
"Young Master Wang is polite, of course you can go with us, but I don't know where you are going?" Lu Xinrui agreed happily, and then approached Wang Xi.
Yan Nianxin's face instantly turned livid, and he reached out to stop Lu Xinrui, but she was stern and shook her head in rejection.
The diners who were watching suddenly started talking, feeling that this woman was vain and wanted to go to the capital with the prince to enjoy all the glory and wealth, abandoning her old love on the street.
The discussion was endless, and Yan Nianxin felt mixed emotions in his heart. He could no longer stop him at the moment, and his outstretched arm hung down feebly.
Originally, she wanted to ask Lu Xinrui for details, but found that she didn't seem to be qualified. He was the adopted son of Yan Mingxiu, and he and Lu Xinrui were not real siblings. He was not qualified to stand with her, and he was not as good as what people said. old love.
In the final analysis, he was never Junior Sister's choice. He was always the superfluous existence...
