Chapter 19: Sympathize with each other
"No illness, no disaster, relying on Shan Bo?" The girl listened to Yi Xifeng's random words and thought to herself: Sure enough, this man and the eldest lady of the Zhong family also have something to do with each other!
Due to her strong obsession with the future Zhong family's wife, Xiu'er's curiosity was suddenly aroused. She couldn't wait to hear about the relationship between this handsome young man and Zhong Lingxi.
"I was still young at that time. Although the elders in my family warned me that I must not communicate with outsiders while practicing in Yinren Town. Besides, being able to endure loneliness is also a way of cultivating one's mind!"
Having said this, Yi Xifeng looked at the girl who was listening to him in rapt attention. His heart moved slightly and he continued:
"Of course, I only learned about these when I grew up, but I didn't understand the painstaking efforts of the elders in my family at the time. I faced the risk of being exposed at any time every day, which constantly tortured my young mind..."
Xiu'er nodded and said calmly: "It seems that your family must have high hopes for you! My brothers were treated like this when they were young."
When Yi Xifeng heard this, he almost choked on a mouthful of wine. He glanced at the girl and secretly complained: Then those brothers of yours must have very twisted personalities when they grow up! I said how could you fall in love with that big liar Zhong Rui? Sure enough, there are not many normal people in this family...
He coughed a few times to cover up the embarrassment in his heart, and then continued: "Lingxi is a few years older than me. Although she comes from the Zhong family, which has a big business, she does not look down on us outsiders at all. Moreover, at that time Always help me out."
Speaking of this, Yi Xifeng seemed to remember what happened in the past, and a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth. It's not that he really wants Zhong Lingxi to stand up for him, but he thinks of this eldest lady who likes to be the eldest sister.
However, when all this fell into Xiu'er's eyes, it further confirmed her guess.
"Later, as we grew up, we became aware of each other's position in each other's hearts. She said that I could always accommodate her young lady's temper, but I found her very cute when she lost her temper."
Hearing this, the girl said with some regret: "Actually, in the eyes of the right person, shortcomings are also advantages! So have you told her your feelings?"
Yi Xifeng shook his head and said calmly: "I didn't say it, but I think she should know, but we still get along like other people of the same age, but we often act together. Until later, Yinren Town was destroyed!"
Speaking of this, Yi Xifeng's aura became much thicker, and even his eyes became red.
"Later, I went to Zhong's house to take her away, but was turned away by Zhong Qianhe! He said that we were unable to protect his granddaughter. In this troubled world, if a man does not have the ability to protect himself, a beautiful woman If you follow me, you will harm me."
Yi Xifeng tried hard to control his emotions, and secretly mobilized his inner energy to speed up the blood flow in his eyes and face, making him look very excited.
"So, you left Yinren Town?"
Yi Xifeng closed his eyes, pretended to control his emotions, and then said sadly: "That's right, I returned to Zhenwu Kingdom, and under the arrangement of my family, I entered a Taoist gym and studied Taoism with an old master! It's a pity that the master Your Majesty said that my ordinary mind is not yet gone, so I should not be born in this world to practice Taoism, but you want me to enter this world to experience it."
He looked at the girl opposite and said honestly: "This time when I enter the Kingdom of Beasts, I want to cross the Kingdom of Beasts and return to Luo Yun Kingdom to find my spiritual stream!"
At this point, his eyes turned from the fierceness just now to dim, and then he said calmly: "Unfortunately, she has been betrothed to Zhong Rui. Although I don't know this person, but from the perspective of the old man Zhong, I think this person is Very excellent!”
Xiu'er nodded subconsciously and sighed.
…
Seeing this, Yi Xifeng felt that the heat was almost over, so he asked tentatively: "Miss Xiu'er, Li has offended many people before, so I would like to apologize to you. The matter is not directed at you, but at this person whom I have never met before." Zhong Rui. I know that this person should also be the one you love, but because Lingxi and him... are inevitably disgusted and disrespectful."
As he spoke, he stood up and cupped his hands slightly. With the gown he just bought, he looked like a gentle scholar.
The girl herself was in the same situation, so she naturally understood the other person's feelings. Seeing that the other person was solemnly apologizing, of course she would not blame him, and quickly said: "There is no need for this, it's not our fault that we both did bad things, and there is nothing wrong with liking someone! "
Hearing that the other party finally admitted her feelings for Zhong Rui, Yi Xifeng felt slightly relieved. Although he had heard many rumors before that the head of Ruilingbao Pavilion had an ambiguous relationship with Zhong Rui, the head of the Zhong family, those were all There is no way to talk about nonsense without getting a response from the person involved.
Yi Xifeng calmed down and kept holding his hands, but his head was slightly raised, staring into the girl's eyes.
It has to be said that compared to Zhong Rui's elegance and kindness, the delicate Taoist priest in front of him is more handsome, especially his deep eyes like the stars and the sea, which make the woman's heart tremble.
Although Xiu'er was about to be married and was not married to Zhong Ruizheng, the two of them had already become a couple by mutual consent, so this nominally girl was actually a young woman.
As the two looked at each other, Xiuer hurriedly looked away.
Yi Xifeng naturally noticed something strange about the other party, but it was not important because he really wanted to cooperate with the other party.
"Miss Xiu'er, since you and I are in the same boat, how many words can we say that we should not just take seriously?"
The girl stabilized her mind, then her eyes fell back on Yi Xifeng, and she said with her usual expression: "Master Li, please speak!"
"I and other outsiders should not interfere in the affairs of the Zhong family, but the matter between a man and a woman should only be agreed upon by both parties. I don't care about others. At least I don't agree with their marriage, and I believe you are not happy to see it either."
Hearing this, Xiu'er frowned slightly. Apparently she was very troubled in her heart and could not answer for a long time.
Yi Xifeng waited for three breaths and saw that the other party was still unable to make up his mind, so he continued: "So, we should cooperate! If it comes true, all four of us will be happy, wouldn't it be better?"
Hearing this, the girl's heart moved slightly and she asked doubtfully: "Everyone is happy?"
"Lingxi and I, you and Zhong Rui, lovers will eventually get married!"
…………Dividing line…………
Zhong Rui waited for the ship to approach the river bank and then got off the cargo ship. Immediately, a young shopkeeper ran over beside him and bowed: "Sir, it is our firm's honor for you to come to Xiaohe Town. Why don't you inform us and let us prepare?"
Zhong Rui wore a navy blue roe deer with a brown cloak outside. Heavy snow had covered the northern mountains of the Kingdom of Beasts these days, and the weather was even drier and colder. From then on, when he went south to Luo Yun Kingdom, he naturally took the water route.
I think Yi Xifeng also took this waterway to pass through the Kingdom of Beasts and enter the Zhenwu Kingdom.
"I came here in an emergency, so I followed our own cargo ship. Besides, with your well-informed attitude, even if I didn't inform you, you would still be here to pick me up!" He said with a smile. , indeed very friendly.
"Then, send these tea leaves and dragon snake grass to Master Yan!" He said and handed the two bags in his hands to the other party.
"Your Excellency is still thoughtful. Master Yan really takes good care of us. It seems that Your Excellency still has some respect in this Feng Shui Gang."
Zhong Rui grinned, shook his head and said: "This head of Yan University is not giving me face, but giving Yinrenzhen face. But... everything depends on man-made things. People's hearts are grown from flesh and blood, and they will always change slowly. .”
That's right, the "Master of Yan" the two of them talked about was naturally "Yan Mingbo" who was once in charge of Chunfeng Town and was once at odds with Yinren Town.
After learning that Yinren Town was opposed to Luo Yunzong, Chunfeng Town, as an ally, did not choose to stab the back when it knew it was outmatched. Instead, it directly abandoned its foundation and chose to live in chaos along the waters of the Chunfeng River.
It has to be said that this leader of the Yan Gang is very particular. At least he did not betray his trust and betray Yinren Town to Luo Yunzong. Later, after several twists and turns, they drove the battleship "Spring Fire" wrapped in hematite, sailed the waters for many years, and re-emerged in Xiaoyuan Sea.
Xiaoyuanhai is adjacent to Xiaohe Town, so naturally it plays a vital role in local water transportation, and most of the goods of the Zhong Family Trading Company are inseparable from water transportation, so that's why the scene just happened.
After bidding farewell to the shopkeeper of Xiaohe Town Trading Company, Zhong Rui set off for Qingyun City.
…
As a disciple of Ou Yezi, Zhong Lingxi has been practicing hard with the old man over the years, and his cultivation has advanced rapidly, especially his sword practice. Although he is not in a hurry to break through to the knight realm, his sword foundation has been quite solid, even if he is not as good as The inner disciples of the eight major sects are not willing to give in too much.
Ou Yezi was also very interested in this beautiful female disciple. After all, he had been wandering for many years. In his own words, besides growing old and living a long time, he had no other abilities. Therefore, while practicing, he taught some tricks to maintain appearance.
Although Ou Yezi has never used this skill, and his senior brother Ou Ye Changfeng has never used this skill, their fellow senior brother Chen Chuantuo is well versed in this skill, so this can be regarded as a skill of the Yunxiao Sect.
After all, Zhong Lingxi is a girl, and her love for beauty is naturally much stronger than that of a bad old man like Ou Yezi. After several years of practice, her appearance is still as fresh as when she was seventeen or eighteen years old, but it doesn't matter how powerful this technique is. , mainly because the girl's real age is not very old, and she is only twenty years old in detail.
"Wow! Junior Sister Zhong, your swordsmanship is so amazing!" A girl with big eyes on the side exclaimed in a low voice. He looked at the extremely beautiful Junior Sister in front of him and felt very envious in his heart.
"Hehe, Senior Sister Ling'e, your Qinggong is also very good. No matter how powerful your swordsmanship is if you can't kill someone, it's all in vain!" The girl wearing a long blue dress replied with a smile.
She put the blue moon-colored sword in her hand into the scabbard at her waist, but none of the male disciples around her focused on the sword, but stared directly at the girl's slender waist.
It has to be said that years of practicing swordsmanship has made the girl's waist more graceful and slender, especially the red belt around her waist, which outlines a more attractive curve.
The girl Zhong Lingxi walked towards was none other than the girl Ling'e who met Yi Xifeng and Li Xintian at Luojian Lake five years ago.
Five years have naturally changed the girl she once was. The cardamom girl with big eyes has become beautiful and generous, but when she smiles, she still has a trace of innocence and kindness.
Seeing Zhong Lingxi coming down from the Sword Dance Platform, before Ling'e could greet him and say a few words of laughter, the dozen or so Qingyun Sect disciples who were watching on the side couldn't help but burst into cheers.
You know, after entering the Qingyun Sect from Zhong Lingxi, she became one of the recognized beauties of the Qingyun Sect! And her master is Ou Yezi, who is famous for protecting calves, so since she started, there are many brothers in the sect who are close to her because of their fame, but there is really no one who dares to bully her because of their high cultivation.
Zhong Lingxi turned back and glanced coldly at the male disciples behind him, and they suddenly became silent. She grabbed Ling'e's little hand and snorted coldly: "Huh! A bunch of idle and boring people!"
After saying that, he led the somewhat confused Ling'e towards their female disciple's residence.
…
"Did you see it? Senior Sister Zhong glared at me just now!"
"You're blind! She glared at me!"
"You two, stop arguing. What's wrong with glaring at you? Look at what you two are capable of! She scolded me for the last time, but I didn't say anything!"
"..."
"If you ask me, Senior Sister Lingxi is beautiful, but her temperament is too cold. Not as good as our Senior Sister Ling'e, who is also a beauty and has a great temper!"
"Tch! Senior Sister Ling'e and Senior Sister Lingxi are still one level behind, okay! Let me tell you, in our Qingyun Sect, the only one who can really compare with Senior Sister Zhong in terms of appearance is the fifth person on Mount Everest. Senior sister!"
"Let's go, aren't you? The fifth senior sister is very fierce, and her personality is the same as that of senior sister Lingxi. She's so cold that it's scary!"
"Damn, I'm talking about good looks! Although the fifth senior sister's complexion is not as fair as that of senior sister Zhong, her wild feeling... can be called a wrench in the world!"
"What are you saying? How can you look at a girl only for her looks? If you put it that way, I think Junior Sister Li under the Headmaster is extremely beautiful! She wears a bamboo hat all day long and can't see her face clearly. In terms of body shape, it’s no worse than the first two!”
The Qingyun Sect's Wujianping Ping was originally a place where the disciples of the sect competed in martial arts and practiced sword moves. However, these beautiful senior sisters in the sect naturally aroused the enthusiasm of the male disciples in the sect for practicing martial arts. Generally speaking, the entire sect has been highly motivated to practice martial arts in recent years.
After all, humans are also animals, and they all like to show themselves in front of beautiful people of the opposite sex, especially in this world where the jungle is strong and the strong eat the strong. The strength of one's own strength is indeed related to the life of the family!
Regarding this phenomenon, Ou Ye Changfeng, the head of the Qingyun Sect, also chose to acquiesce. Although Zhong Lingxi mentioned to her master more than once that the male disciples in the sect always showed their affection to her from time to time, the Qingyun Sect also did not Maybe he will deal with his disciple just because he expresses his love. After all, it is a matter between two people.
What Ou Yezi said at that time was extremely insightful!
"As expected, this beauty is not counted as a head, but as a resource!"
