When people get along with each other for a long time, some inexplicable feelings will always arise. After a few days of getting along with each other, Luan Xiu not only admires his senior brother, but also has a growing admiration for him.
The Qianyu Sect does not restrict its disciples from having contact with men on weekdays, but the general environment of the sect means that its female disciples rarely have contact with men.
Luan Xiu grew up on Lingyu Mountain since she was a child, and the furthest she went was to a small town at the foot of the mountain to purchase daily necessities, so when Shao Xi appeared in front of her, she already had a strange feeling in her heart.
During this period of time together, she felt that her senior brother was not only highly skilled in martial arts, but also had excellent character and appearance.
When she met such a man at an age when her heart was full of love, she unconsciously felt passionate about him. However, the shyness of the girl made her have no choice but to hide this feeling deeply in her heart.
Shao Xi is not a fool. Although Luan Xiu had a lot of exchanges with him on martial arts practice after being in contact with him for a few days, once he talked about other topics, his face would turn red, his words would not express what he meant, and he would appear very nervous.
Although Shao Xi was not an experienced lover, he had been in contact with quite a few women since returning to the Central Plains. Naturally, he could tell what Luan Xiu was thinking.
Since I don't have any thoughts in my mind, I don't need to tell you. I just need to pretend to be confused.
Being liked by women wherever he goes is a dream for many men, but for Shao Xi, it has become a worry.
He is not a ruthless and cold-blooded person. He can completely understand the feeling of others liking him, but since he has no intention of others, he cannot be proactive, and this lack of initiative is often misunderstood by the other party.
Therefore, Shao Xi has to keep this balance in mind at all times. He can neither let the other party think that he is interested in him, nor let the other party feel that he is disgusted with him. Maintaining a bland way of getting along is actually not as easy as imagined.
Now that he is Luan Xiu's senior brother, he will inevitably have to spend time with her day and night while instructing her in martial arts practice, and there will even be skin-to-skin contact during the instruction process.
Even though Shao Xi had no other thoughts in his mind, Luan Xiu began to enjoy this feeling day by day. If he likes someone, even if the other person looks at him one more time, he will toss and turn in the night and be too excited to fall asleep, just because he is always thinking about that person in his heart.
After getting along with each other thoughtfully for a few days, it happened that this day happened to be the Mid-Autumn Festival on August 15th. It was rare for the female disciples in the sect to go down the mountain together during this festival.
Luan Xiu naturally made an appointment with Shao Xi early to go to the town at the foot of the mountain to visit the Mid-Autumn Lantern Festival.
Although they are brothers and sisters, it is impossible for Shao Xi and Luan Xiu to go alone after leaving the sect to go down the mountain. They still have to take Lao Wu, Wu Qiu'er and other female disciples from the Qian Yu Sect with them. A bunch of people.
As the head and senior brother, Luan Xiu and Shao Xi naturally walked side by side, walking in front, while Old Wu followed all the way behind with an old face.
What made Lao Wu feel the most uncomfortable was that Wu Qiu'er actually ignored him and followed Suying to the other side. It seemed that this big guy seemed to be enlightened, and he actually paid attention to the woman next to him. Interested!
As for the other disciples, they were "chirping" at the back. Naturally, there were more topics to talk about since there were more women, and they were so noisy that Old Wu's head got bigger.
Because the town was more than ten miles away from Lingyu Mountain, everyone took their horses and rode them when they reached the foot of the mountain. It was not until noon that everyone arrived at Shimen Town, which was more than ten miles away.
This town got its name because there are stone gates built on each side in the east, west, south and north. The stone gate looks very old. I don't know how many years it has been here.
This town is not very big, but it can be called prosperous because it is located near the official road. On weekdays, Qianyumen disciples rarely go down the mountain. Now when they came to the town, everyone was very excited. They walked east and west. Look, it's past noon before I know it.
Although I brought dry food with me before going down the mountain, now that I have arrived in the town, I naturally want to try some local snacks. Who would eat those dry noodles?
So some people were looking for some food stalls to eat. There were more than twenty people who came down together on this trip. If they all crowded into one, they would probably scare the merchants into closing down.
So after some discussion, everyone divided into several teams to find a place to eat, and met at the town center where the lantern festival was held in the evening. During this period, they walked around individually.
After the agreement was made, everyone dispersed and left. Shao Xi took Luan Xiu, Su Ying, Lao Wu and Wu Qiu'er and headed straight for the largest restaurant in the town.
Arriving in front of the restaurant named Fuguixuan, Luan Xiu looked up at the size of the restaurant, secretly pulled Shao Xi's sleeves, blushed and whispered: "Brother, I didn't bring much with me on this trip down the mountain. For money, let’s switch to another company!”
Shao Xi was amused by Luan Xiu's words. This girl was indeed simple-minded. She only thought that as the head, she had to do all the food and pay the bills, but she didn't know how rich his senior brother was.
Man said it was just a matter of having a meal, and even buying this restaurant was just a snap.
Before Shao Xi could speak, Old Wu said first: "Little girl, you don't have to worry, your senior brother is a rich man, and having a meal here is a piece of cake for him. I'll go in first." Find a seat. You can wander around the area. If you find a good private room, I will come out and call you."
After saying that, without waiting for anyone else to speak, Old Wu ducked into the restaurant.
He's been quite depressed these days, and today he can finally have a good meal and drink in a restaurant, and he seems more positive than anyone else.
Shao Xi looked at Old Wu's anxious look and had a wry smile on his face, knowing that he was hungry for the clear soup and lack of water in the mountains these days.
Although he goes to town to drink every day, the old guy doesn't have much money, so he can only buy some drinks to feed the alcohol bug. Today he finally pays for a treat. This old guy is probably going to make some blood for himself again. .
But it was indeed a bit difficult for him. On Lingyu Mountain, he and Wu Qiu'er practiced on Fengwei Cliff every day. He didn't even have anyone to talk to, and he did seem a little lonely.
Why don't you let him eat and drink enough today as a little compensation?
Shao Xi took Luan Xiu and others into a nearby silk shop and looked around casually.
Shao Xi knows that girls love beauty, and most of the disciples in the Lingyu Mountain sect wear uniform blue clothes.
It's not that they don't want to wear some beautiful clothes, but most of the disciples on this mountain come from poor families. They practice on the mountain and have no source of money. They all rely on the food, clothing, housing and transportation provided by the sect, so naturally they don't have many choices.
Even the money brought by the leader, Luan Xiu, was intended to purchase daily needs for the sect, and the extra expenses were really not much.
So Shao Xi planned to take this opportunity to buy some silk fabrics for Luan Xiu and Suying to make some decent sets of dresses, which could be regarded as a small gesture from his senior brother.
But when Luan Xiu heard that Shao Xi wanted to spend money on her, she quickly waved her hands and refused, because she knew that silk brocade and other fabrics were expensive, and if she accepted it, she really didn't know what to give him in return. Gift.
Shao Xi smiled and said that she was overthinking it, and regardless of whether they were willing to accept it or not, she asked the shopkeeper of the silk shop to pull out two sets of fabrics for each of them in two colors.
Luan Xiu was so moved by Shao Xi's move that she was speechless, while Suying compared the two pieces of silk on her body and was extremely happy.
Wu Qiu'er stood aside and watched Suying's silly smile of "hehe", but made the shopkeeper laugh until her hair went down.
Originally, Shao Xi wanted to arrange for the silk shop to customize dresses for the two of them, but Luan Xiu said that it would cost extra money, so it would be more cost-effective to take the fabric back to the mountain and cut it herself. Shao Xi looked at Luan Xiu in surprise, not expecting this. The little girl actually has such skills!
So she packed the pieces of silk, and Suying jumped happily holding the two pieces of silk fabric.
Just as a few people were walking out of the Silk Manor talking and laughing, they heard a noise coming from the direction of the restaurant, and then they saw someone being thrown out of the window on the second floor of the restaurant.
Fortunately, this person's personal skills were very good and he stabilized his figure when he landed on the ground, but he looked very embarrassed. When Shao Xi and others were getting curious, they saw the person who was thrown from upstairs turning around. When he came, Shao Xi and others were startled.
It turned out that the person who was thrown out was none other than Lao Wu, who had just entered the restaurant first.
Shao Xixin said, didn't this old guy go in and take a seat? Why was he inexplicably thrown out from the second floor of the restaurant? And he looked like he had been beaten badly, and looked very embarrassed.
Several people hurriedly stepped forward. When Old Wu saw that Shao Xi and others had returned, he quickly pulled Shao Xi and pointed upstairs.
Cursing in his mouth, he said: "What a fucking bastard! Old man, I have already reserved a seat and they will grab it at any time. How can there be such a reason in the world? They are just a bunch of fucking bandits. This matter is not over today!"
Shao Xi was confused by what Lao Wu said. How could he quarrel with others even if he had reserved a seat properly? Moreover, looking at this posture, the two sides even made moves, and Lao Wu suffered a loss. I wonder what the background of this opponent is?
"Old guy, what's going on? I asked you to find your position. How come you can still quarrel with others over such a trivial matter?"
Just as Old Wu was about to speak, he saw a waiter running out of the door of the restaurant and came to several people and hurriedly bowed and apologized.
"I'm really sorry, I'm really sorry! This misunderstanding was caused by the shop's poor greetings. This old gentleman must not be angry. We will re-arrange a nice private room for you.
"Today is indeed our fault. Please don't blame the guest. We really can't do anything about it. The Tong family is very powerful here. I think the guest is not from here, so it's better not to offend them."
Shao Xi was unhappy when he heard this.
"Who are so arrogant and want to dominate this place? I would like to meet them for a while."
