"Like me?"
"How does it look like me?"
"I am a genius in swordsmanship. In terms of appearance and talent, how can he compare with me?" Meng Ziliang's eyes widened and he said with dissatisfaction.
"At least I am more pragmatic than you!" Meng Jin said angrily.
After saying that, she changed the topic, her voice became a little softer, and said: "Like you, he doesn't like the things his father arranged for him."
"Uncle Zhu hopes that he can cultivate well and then enter the inner sect and become an inner sect disciple of Tianxuan Mountain."
"But he just wants to follow that Mr. Meng to do chivalry."
"What about you? Dad hopes that you will marry the Nangong family. With the Nangong family taking care of you in the future, your life will not be too bad. However, you are obsessed with coming to Tianxuan Mountain."
"You all feel that the path arranged for you by your family is wrong. You have to follow your own path."
"Zhu Quan's stubbornness cost Uncle Zhu his life. What about you?"
Meng Jin said this, the expression on his face became a little sad, and he looked straight at Meng Ziliang.
Meng Ziliang's eyes evaded, and after a moment of silence he said: "Sister, I am different from him. I was born for that day. You don't understand now, but you will understand soon."
"What do you mean? Ziliang?" Meng Jin felt inexplicably uneasy at that time, so she asked.
Meng Ziliang did not respond to this statement, but just asked: "Sister."
"You really don't like that Zhu Quan?"
Meng Jin glared at him and said irritably: "I don't like it! Why do I like him! That guy is ignorant. He follows that Mr. Meng every day. It's just that he doesn't have his own opinions. He doesn't even know what the other person is like. You can’t even see people clearly, how could I, Meng Jin, like such a person?”
Meng Ziliang looked at his sister seriously, as if he was confirming the truth of what the other party said.
However, he obviously lacked experience in this area, and for a while he was not sure whether his sister really thought so, or whether it was just a woman's shyness.
He thought about it seriously, then looked at Meng Jin seriously and asked: "Sister, what if..."
"I mean, if one day both Zhu Quan and Brother Chu are in danger, but I can only save one, who do you want me to save?"
Meng Jin looked at the serious Meng Ziliang with a strange expression, and said without thinking: "Of course it is Mr. Chu, he is kind to us..."
"Why should Zhu Quan compare with him..."
"I accompanied him before, but I just felt pity for him. If that can be called liking, there are some stray cats and dogs on the street. I would also give them some food..."
…
Zhu Quan walked happily on the way to Chu Qingxiao's residence.
A lot of things happened in Tianxuan City today.
Chu Qingxiao passed the seven-hall review.
A deserted riot broke out in Tianxuan Street.
It is said that the desolation was caused by taking White Camelback's elixir. Now the news about White Camelback refining the magic pill is spreading wildly, and all this happened in front of several high-ranking officials from the royal capital.
With such a situation, the imperial court will definitely investigate Tianxuan Mountain.
Mr. Meng said that this is a great opportunity. The Mirror must operate well and move to this cancer that is weighing on the people of southern Xinjiang!
Zhu Quan's father died in the hands of Liuhuan Peak. He had long hated Tianxuan Mountain. He was naturally very happy for such a good thing. He wanted to meet Chu Qingxiao and tell Chu Qingxiao the good news. At the same time, he wanted to Let’s explore Chu Qingxiao’s tone again and explain clearly the misunderstanding between him and Mr. Meng.
In Zhu Quan's view, Mr. Meng and Chu Qingxiao are both good people.
Since they are good people, they should become friends. The reason why the first meeting between the two was not so pleasant was probably just because of misunderstandings caused by mutual incompatibility, and he had the ability to resolve these misunderstandings.
Except for that, of course.
The reason why Zhu Quan was so anxious to find Chu Qingxiao was because he wanted to meet Meng Jin.
He likes her.
During the darkest days when his father left him, Meng Jin stayed with him and comforted him.
He's been in love with her ever since.
He felt that he was not worthy of her, but he still couldn't help but want to see her.
But when he came to the gate of the courtyard where Chu Qingxiao lived, he heard the conversation between the Meng family siblings in the courtyard.
The smile on his face faded at that point.
The hand that was raised to knock on the courtyard door dropped at that moment.
…
After all, Zhu Quan still didn't have the courage to knock on the door of Chu Qingxiao's courtyard.
Meng Jin's words couldn't help but echo in his mind.
"That guy is ignorant. He follows Mr. Meng every day. He doesn't have his own opinions. He can't even see clearly what kind of person he is. How could I, Meng Jin, like such a person?"
"I stayed with him before, but I just felt pity for him. If that can be called liking, it would be like seeing stray cats and dogs on the street. I would give them some food..."
Zhu Quan returned to the courtyard where Mr. Meng lived in confusion. As soon as he opened the door, he saw Mr. Meng standing in front of the courtyard door.
He bowed to the other party and thought about resigning.
"Are you worried?" Mr. Meng stopped him and asked.
Zhu Quan was stunned, stood there, then looked at Mr. Meng with a wry smile and said, "I can't hide it from you, sir."
"Tell me about it." Mr. Meng looked at him and said.
Zhu Quan thought for a while, but felt ashamed to speak. He didn't know how to respond for a while.
"Is it because of women?" Mr. Meng seemed to understand everything and asked at that time.
Zhu Quan's face changed slightly and he said in surprise: "How do you know, sir?"
Mr. Meng's face was hidden behind the mask, and his expression could not be seen clearly, but there was a hint of smile in his voice: "You are a simple-minded person. Except for those things that Tianxuan Mountain did that made people and gods angry, what can you do?" If you are so distracted, it's probably just a girl from a certain family."
When Zhu Quan was told this, he scratched his head in embarrassment: "Sir, are you praising me?"
Mr. Meng was silent.
Zhu Quan saw this, thought about it, and finally couldn't help but asked: "Sir, how do you think I am compared to that Mr. Chu?"
Mr. Meng was obviously stunned, and then asked: "What? Do you like a certain girl next to Mr. Chu?"
Zhu Quan nodded, with a distressed look on his face: "I went to look for Brother Chu today, and happened to hear her words. It seemed that in her heart, compared to Brother Chu, I am inferior in everything..."
Mr. Meng narrowed his eyes and said, "The students I like are extraordinary in their own way. Why should you care about what others say? Have you forgotten why you joined the Mirror in the first place?"
Mr. Meng holds a very important position in Zhu Quan's heart. After hearing this, Zhu Quan's face straightened and he said: "Of course I remember that Mr. Meng taught me to establish a life for the common people! Apart from that, everything else is external and cannot be taken care of." Distracted!"
When Zhu Quan thought of this, the pressure on his heart relaxed a lot.
At least……
In Mr. Meng's mind, he is not useless.
Thinking of this, he looked at Mr. Meng gratefully and said, "Thank you sir for your advice. It's the students who are too narrow-minded."
"Don't worry, sir. The students know that now is the rarest opportunity to overthrow Tianxuan Mountain. The students will not delay the important matter because of some affection between children!"
"I will definitely live up to your teacher's teachings!"
After saying this, Zhu Quan breathed a sigh of relief, said goodbye to Mr. Meng, and then turned and walked to his room.
Mr. Meng stood there, looking at Zhu Quan's walking back, muttering Zhu Quan's words, his eyes gradually narrowed, and the narrow slits of his eyes flashed with compassion.
"Student? Live up to my teachings?"
"pity……"
"I have only one student in my life."
"But not you."
