When he first met Mu Twelfth Mother, Shen Li felt that she was like a thin puff of smoke in the early morning. When the wind blew, she disappeared without a trace.
Especially the faint sadness between his eyebrows does not arouse people's dislike, but makes people want to cherish him even more.
When it comes to Mu Twelfth Mother's beauty, Shen Li thinks that those people praise her too much.
She is not as good as Yu Bainiang and Song Wanru.
Very simple comparison.
Anyone who has seen Yu Bainiang and Song Wanru will feel from the bottom of their hearts that they are more beautiful than Mu Twelve Niang.
But she was like thin smoke, sitting there, fascinating.
Shen Li admitted that Mu Twelve Mother really surprised him.
It's not her looks, but her temperament.
Then again, Mu Twelfth Mother was not enough to make Shen Li startled.
The person who really surprised him was standing behind her.
Just stood there quietly.
It seems to have nothing to do with the human world.
She is Sun Xi.
Sun Xi, the granddaughter of Old Man Sun, was the first person Shen Li met who was gifted with supernatural powers after he came to Northern Sui Dynasty.
Unexpectedly, after saying goodbye, we could meet again in Qifeng City.
Sun Xi was stunned when she saw Shen Li pushing open the door and entering.
Fate in the world is so wonderful.
I originally thought that the two would never have the chance to meet again, but I didn't expect that just how long had passed before they actually met at the Flower Viewing Tower.
Mu Twelve Niang smiled and said, "But Master Shen shows off to Mr. Shen in person?"
"Shen Shixiu has met Twelve Niangs."
"Please take a seat."
The maid standing outside closed the door for him, and the young man sat opposite Twelve Niangs with the crisp sound of the door closing.
"Mr. Shen came all the way from Wuling in South Wu?"
"Exactly, only when you come to the Northern Sui Dynasty do you know the scenery of the Northern Kingdom."
Mu Twelve Niang poured tea and handed it to him.
Whether intentionally or accidentally, his fingertips touched Shen Li's palm.
As cold as lychees in a summer ice cellar.
"Master Shen, please have some tea. The tea from the Northern Sui Dynasty has a very good taste. I hope Master Shen can get used to drinking it."
Take a small sip.
The tea that Mu Twelve Niang served him was indeed good tea.
Fragrance lingers on lips and teeth.
Shen Li pretended to be surprised and asked: "Is the girl standing behind Twelve Niangs a maid?"
When Sun Xi was mentioned suddenly, Sun Xi looked suddenly panicked.
Of course she recognized Shen Li.
"She, a distant cousin came to join me. Seeing that she was quick with her hands and feet and knew how to read people's emotions, I kept her by my side and used her."
Mu Twelve Niang asked with a smile: "Is it possible that Mr. Shen and Xi'er know each other?"
"I have indeed seen it."
Soon Shen Li talked about making braised noodles.
Mu Twelve Niang smiled and said: "Listening to Mr. Shen, I almost want to eat a bowl of braised noodles."
Twelve Niangs behaved very relaxedly, without any words of self-effacement, and called themselves "I" straightforwardly.
Perhaps it can be said that as one of the top attractions of Pingkangfang Flower Viewing Building, a little willfulness is not only not annoying, but also a bit cute.
"That bowl of braised noodles, I'm so satisfied with it."
Logically speaking, Mu Twelve Niang would not look down upon such food as braised noodles, but she talked about it in a casual manner, as if she really enjoyed talking about this topic with Shen Li.
Sun Xi leaned down and said something in Mu Twelve Niang's ears.
She nodded slightly.
"That's fine, you can go out, and remember not to wander around. There are many guests in the building, and it will be troublesome if you are misunderstood."
"Sister Mu, don't worry."
Sun Xi's cheeks turned slightly red and she hurried out of the boudoir.
Wait until the door closes.
Mu Twelfth Mother smiled and asked, "What kind of music does Mr. Shen like to listen to?"
"No need. I'll meet Twelve Niangs once and have a few words. I'm already satisfied."
"Master Shen is good at making people happy."
Shen Li suddenly said: "In my opinion, the Twelve Mothers are not as simple as they appear."
"Oh? What does Mr. Shen mean by this?"
"I saw the celestial figure of the Twelve Mothers. She is clearly not a mortal. She must be a fairy who has been banished from heaven."
"Haha..." Mu Twelfth Mother smiled happily, "Master Shen is joking, there are countless fairies in the world, it is not my turn to show up."
Shen Li shook his head: "The Twelve Mother is humbled."
Then he said.
"Now that I have seen the famous Twelve Mothers in Luo Jing, I have no regrets. It's time to leave."
This sentence made Mu Twelve Mother slightly surprised.
Others wanted to live in her boudoir, but Shen Shixiu was better off. They met her once, said a few words, and then left without coveting her beauty at all.
Compared with Luo Jing's group of rich and powerful disciples, it can be said that they are in a world.
Shen Li had already stood up.
He raised his hands and said with a smile: "The name of Yongmao's lyrics makes my ears prick up when I hear it. When I see you today, I realize that the name is consistent with the truth. It is not a meddlesome person making noise."
Mu Twelfth Mother covered her mouth and smiled softly: "I haven't played or sang, how can the young master be worthy of his name?"
Shen Li glanced at the white cat sleeping lazily on its stomach. The white cat was fat and fat. "Twelve Niang's hands have calluses honed by playing the piano. Her voice is warm and beautiful, which is unforgettable. When she talks to me, her cadence is gentle and harmonious." Singing a song is no different. If I really love a cat and sing lyrics, I'm afraid it will be really hard for me to leave. I will be no different from those young men who admire Twelve Niangs. When the time comes, I will actually make Twelve Niangs look down on me."
"It's better to leave here and leave Twelve Mother with a memory that she won't forget for two or three days."
Mu Twelve Niang smiled and said: "Master Shen is indeed a wonderful man."
"I'll take my leave."
Say it.
Without any hesitation, he turned around and left.
Mu Twelve Niang never tried to persuade her to stay, she had seen many such small tricks.
Luo Jing had that rich young man, and he tried all kinds of ways to impress her.
Shen Shixiu has repeated this method over and over again countless times.
Every time it passes, it will come again the next day.
She didn't give it away either, and sat quietly drinking tea, as if she was really following what the maid said, and it was genuine tea.
Get out of the boudoir.
Seeing Sun Xi leaning against the railing, she didn't know what she was thinking.
The young man strolled over and asked with a smile: "Miss Sun, we are so lucky that we meet in Pingkangfang, Qifeng City."
Sun Xi lowered his head and whispered: "I didn't expect Mr. Shen to come to the Flower Viewing Tower."
"Call me Shen Shixiu."
"..."
Sun Xi turned away.
Shen Li asked: "Is the girl coming out to make a living in the world?"
"No, I went to live with my relatives."
"Oh, it turns out that she went to live with her relatives. With her skills, she can have enough food and clothing without having to live with her relatives."
Sun Xi's face turned redder and redder.
"No more teasing girls, we will meet again when we are destined."
Thump thump thump, walking down the wooden stairs.
She quickly turned her head, and just as Shen Li turned to look at her, Sun Xi ran away in shame.
As soon as Shen Lifu walked out of Mu Twelve Niang's boudoir, someone quietly reported it to Yang Baiye.
Yang Baiye looked complicated, "Is this really true?"
"Yes, I estimate that I won't be able to say a few words to Mu Twelve Niang in the time."
"It's strange. Just wait here and I'll ask."
Yang Baiye hurried out of the room. Seeing that Shen Li was about to leave the flower viewing building, he hurriedly shouted: "Master Shen, please stay."
"Master Yang..."
Yang Baiye walked up to Shen Li and said, "Take a step to speak."
"What's the matter?"
"You... didn't you test Mu Twelfth Mother?"
Shen Li smiled instantly: "It's better to have less trouble than to have more trouble. I'm injured and don't want to get involved."
Yang Baiye's expression changed suddenly and he whispered: "Don't forget, you are a member of the Xingxiu Sect!"
"I'm not going to lie to you, I was indeed injured and fell into the pseudo-King Kong state."
"What!"
Yang Baiye asked: "Did the battles at Kaixi City and Woxia Temple have such a big impact on you?"
"I almost died there." Shen Li answered half truthfully.
"You...oh, that's it, that's all, just go."
"Take care of yourself."
Yang Baiye looked at his back with a complicated expression.
As for Shen Li, he sneered in his heart.
Yang Baiye didn't tell him the truth. Since Shangguan Xi pulled Mu Twelve Niang to join the Xingxiu Sect, why should he only mention Sister Xi'er without revealing his identity?
Apparently there were some twists and turns that he didn't know about.
The so-called authorities are confused and the beholder is clear.
Why not quit to see the situation clearly and then make plans?
There are some things where there is no need to be the first person.
Just about to leave the Flower Viewing Building.
Sister Yun'er suddenly appeared: "Master Shen is leaving so soon?"
She glanced at Yang Baiye and felt something in her heart.
Shen Li turned around and cupped his hands, smiling: "You can only watch the cat singing from a distance, but don't play with it. If you meet him once, it's better to leave right away, or to have a drink with him to reminisce about it later."
"Young Master Shen is such a wonderful person." Sister Yun'er walked to his side with a smile. She was still charming, and many eyes full of aggression roamed her body unscrupulously.
"How about Mr. Shen coming back tomorrow? I'll pay the deposit for you."
"I understand the manager's wishes. I'm so busy with worldly matters that I'm afraid I won't be able to come."
"It doesn't matter. I'll be at the Flower Viewing Tower all day. Mr. Shen will pay the deposit for you no matter when he comes."
"I'll take my leave."
Sister Yun'er turned around and smiled: "Mr. Yang, you see, Mr. Shen doesn't appreciate it."
Yang Baiye pretended to be angry: "Humph, the scholars of the southern country don't understand the mysteries of my northern land!"
He waved his sleeves and entered the guest room.
Sister Yun'er's eyes wandered and she chuckled: "Master Yang, Master Yang, the fox always shows its tail. I'm not in a hurry. I'll wait for you to make a mistake on your own initiative."
After leaving the flower viewing building, he asked the boy to lead his horse and left through the back door of Pingkangfang.
There are many inns on the street next to it.
Shen Li didn't go to Xingxiu Teaching's branch in Qifeng City first. He randomly found an inn, ordered a table of food, and ate to his heart's content.
My stomach is round after just eating.
Yang Baiye sat across from him with a smile on his face alone.
"I was taken advantage of by Aunt Lian once in Julu City."
Let’s get straight to the point.
Shen Li's words made Yang Baiye pause for a moment while holding the water glass.
"Qinglian?"
"yes."
"You tell me."
Immediately, I told him everything that happened in Julu City, without having to fight with Yuan Xia.
Yang Baiye sighed: "What Qinglian did was not honest."
"Yes, the Taixia Sect is one of her own, isn't the Xingxiu Sect one of her own?" Shen Li shook his head.
"I only knew that Kou Yangtian died in the giant continent. I didn't expect it to be so complicated."
As Yang Baiye spoke, he called the waiter: "Take the food away, put on a table the best food and wine, and bring in more wine."
"Because of Aunt Lian's incident, you don't believe me?"
Shen Li laughed and said, "You are all experts, you don't need me."
"That's wrong." Yang Baiye approached Shen Li and whispered: "There is an undercurrent surging in Qifeng City, and a war is about to break out."
"with who?"
"The Copper Coin Society. The two Pingkang squares in Luojing and Qifeng City are both properties of the Copper Coin Society."
Shen Li was thinking a lot: "Where is Shangguan Xi?"
"Where's the man? The helmsman has moved to another place temporarily. If you want to see Sister Xi'er, I will take you there."
"You still didn't tell the truth." Shen Li sneered, "Copper coins will be deeply rooted in the Northern Sui Dynasty, how can the Xingxiu Sect be an enemy of it?"
Yang Baiye didn't care: "I really didn't tell the truth. In addition to the Copper Coin Society, we also plan to get rid of another Jianghu organization called Lingquan Sect. It's all heresy."
Only then did the young man understand: "You want to take Qifeng City as your own?"
"It's serious to take it for yourself, but I just want to share more benefits."
Yang Baiye asked with a smile: "How about it? Can you help me? The benefits will be yours."
