Having reached the Thorn Gate, Linghan led the horse and walked in, leaving Xu Qingchen alone in a daze.
Xu Qingchen was a little confused and didn't understand. He had been clinging to him every day for the past two days, so why did he leave immediately? He felt vaguely reluctant to leave. There were not many people he knew well in the Thorn Gate, and there were only a few people he could usually talk to. At least you won't be bored when Ayahan is around. The little girl likes chatting with him. As soon as Linghan left, Xu Qingchen suddenly felt that the following days would be very difficult.
Xu Qingchen went back to find Yang Fan. Yang Fan said that he didn't have enough fun last night and asked Xiong San to come to his place for a drink in the evening. He happened to invite Xu Qingchen to come with him, and Xu Qingchen agreed to come down.
Linghan locked herself in the room all afternoon and did not go out.
As night fell, Xu Qingchen went to the appointment.
Yang Fan asked people to cook some dishes and prepare some drinks. Xiong San arrived early and greeted Xu Qingchen eagerly when he saw him coming in.
"Brother Qingchen! Come on, come on! Sit down! Try the wine that Mr. Yang has collected!"
Yang Fan smiled bitterly: "Third brother, you have drank all the good wine I have here. There are really not many jars left."
What do you say, but Yang Fan is not a stingy person, nor is he a drinker. His illness did not allow him to drink heavily, except for an occasional drink or two. The so-called "enjoyment" only means that the people who drink with him have fun.
The three of them had a few glasses of wine and started chatting. The conversation revolved around the recent situation in the world and was nothing important.
"Hey, let me tell you," Xiong San's eyebrows were flying as he talked about the battle between Ye Yu Xiaozhu and Xian Rentang, "Sword Immortal, does Sword Immortal know about it? Brother Qingchen definitely doesn't know."
Xu Qingchen shook his head and said, "I've never heard of it."
"You met her daughter when she was in Yaoxian Valley."
There were three girls who came out of Chaolan Valley at that time, and Xu Qingchen didn't know which one was the daughter of the Sword Immortal.
Xiong San said: "It's the one who became famous in one battle. Oh yes, he also has the nickname, Cold-faced Fairy!"
Xu Qingchen nodded and said, "I know, her name is Feicui. I was under the ring at that time, watching her compete with Hu Huo, who also came from Chaolan Valley. Her sword skills were beyond my reach... If her mother's sword skills were He is even more powerful than her and deserves the title of Sword Immortal."
Xiong San touched his chin and said with longing: "I heard that those three girls are very pretty. Two are very good at martial arts, and the other one is not sure about it, but they are very talented. Just a few days after they debuted, they followed our Feng The masters and masters have the same name. If I have the chance, I really want to kiss Fangze, but I don’t know if the three girls have promised to marry each other..."
Yang Fan smiled and said, "What? Do you have an idea?"
"Hey, I just want to think about it. We are rough people and not worthy of others... But you two can think about it."
Yang Fan waved his hand and said: "I am a short-lived ghost, so I won't harm others. As for Qingchen... don't even think about it. The famous grass has its owner."
As soon as these words came out, Xu Qingchen and Xiong San were stunned.
Xiong San asked: "Brother Qingchen, which girl do you like?"
Xu Qingchen shook his head and said, "I don't know either."
"Oh," Yang Fan sighed, "You are not stupid, so I won't play riddles anymore. Can you really not see what Miss Ayami is thinking?"
Yang Fan made a joke between the two of them last time, but Xu Qingchen didn't pay attention. Now that Yang Fan said this sentence extremely seriously, Xu Qingchen was a little unsure.
"Uh...my eldest brother is interested in bringing us together, but..."
"But what? Do you think Ayahan is not good?"
"No, no," Xu Qingchen shook his head hurriedly, "Linghan is very sensible, and her personality and temperament are not shy like ordinary girls, so naturally she is very good."
"Then what are you?"
Xu Qingchen thought for a while, yes, who is he?
"Is it possible that you are afraid that you will be in danger in the future and cause trouble to others?"
Seemingly with only one reason, Xu Qingchen nodded.
When Xiong San heard what he said, he slapped him on the back and said, "Why are you so bitchy? When Master Yang said this, I also think Ren Linghan means that to you. Today
The sky is clinging to you, and you two are almost one person. Who would believe that people don’t have that intention? Moreover, when we were in Luzhou, people didn’t dislike you and helped you take off your clothes. If you’re a big girl, you’d be so embarrassed..."
"What?!" Xu Qingchen was surprised, "Linghan helped me take it off? Wasn't it you?"
"How can I, a grown man, take off a man's clothes?"
Xu Qingchen fell silent. The reason he didn't have that thought about Ayana was because he hadn't thought about it before. When he chatted with Linghan last time, he also said that his feelings for her and Miss Yao were the same. Speaking of Miss Yao, it can be said that Xu Qingchen took the identities of both parties into consideration, but what about Linghan? Linghan was used to being a loner, and suddenly she was willing to stay with him. It couldn't just be because he was her senior brother's sworn brother, right?
Thinking of this, Xu Qingchen shook his head vigorously and said, "Forget it."
Xiong San was angry: "Why just let it go? Is it so unclear? The whole Thorny Gate knows about you two. If you don't want me now, how can you let me go out to meet people in the future?"
Xu Qingchen said: "It's not that I don't want her... I do... Well, I can't explain clearly. Now is a critical moment. You two know my affairs clearly. I have something I have to do... As for Linghan, wait a little longer. Wait, at least wait until I finish what I need to do. And she is going back and leaving tomorrow. I'm afraid that going back and forth will waste time." ap.
Yang Fan took a sip of wine and said, "Then you go now."
"Where to go?"
"Go and express your feelings to others... I finally understand you. You are not stupid, you just haven't thought about such a thing. This is a sin, Xu Qingchen."
"Guilty?"
"I missed two beauties and hurt the hearts of two women. What is it but a sin? It would be better if you say that your heart is as high as the sky and you look down on others, but you are obviously not a person with high ambitions and low intentions. If you miss Miss Yao, you will not be able to do anything. Don’t miss Ayahan again.”
Mentioning Miss Yao, Xu Qingchen felt pain in her heart again. If he had taken over Miss Yao that night, although there was a high probability that Miss Yao would not be able to escape her tragic fate, it would at least give her some hope. Thinking back to Linghan in the past few days, she was so considerate to him that she took it for granted, which was so inappropriate.
But even so, Xu Qingchen still hardened his heart: "No, I don't know whether she will live or die from now on, so I can't promise her anything. If I can survive, I will definitely express my feelings."
Yang Fan narrowed his eyes and asked, "If you are destined to die, do you think Linghan would be willing to die with you?"
Xu Qingchen was stunned. He couldn't understand this question.
Yang Fan continued: "For some people, it is an honor to die with important people...Besides, why are you so depressed? How old are you?"
A few words made Xu Qingchen suddenly realize that he had missed Miss Yao because of too many worries. He always thought that he had solved everything by himself, but he never thought that he was leaving the problem to others. Thinking about it this way, I really did commit a heinous crime.
Xu Qingchen hammered his knees hard, drank the wine in the glass, and said to the two of them: "You two, I won't accompany you."
After saying that, he stood up, opened the door and walked out.
Xiong San smiled and said, "Hey, I'm enlightened."
After leaving the door, a small breeze blew, and Xu Qingchen hesitated again. It was really not easy to express one's feelings. The more you liked her, the more difficult it became. Thinking about what Linghan had done for him in the past few days and what she had said, Xu Qingchen felt that he was extremely cowardly and far less courageous than Linghan.
With such random thoughts, he had already walked to Linghan's door.
There were no lights in the room, so I guess Ayana had already fallen asleep.
He dared to knock on the door, but there was no answer. Knocked again, still nothing.
"Ayagami? Are you asleep?"
Still no one responded.
He had a bad feeling, pushed the door and found that it was unlocked. Entering the house, surprisingly, there was no one in the house. The bed was neatly made, and Ayana and her luggage had long disappeared.
He secretly thought something bad and hurriedly ran towards the mountain gate.
When the brother guarding the gate saw him running towards him, he stepped forward and asked, "Master Xu, what are you doing at this late hour?"
Xu Qingchen asked: "Have you met Miss Linghan?"
"That's the girl who always follows you, right? I saw her. She went out on horseback when it got dark. We don't know why she went."
"Open the door," Xu Qingchen said, "I want to go out."
After the mountain gate opened, Xu Qingchen ran down the mountain. It was only an hour before it got dark, so I should be able to catch up if I ran faster. When he chased him five miles away, Xu Qingchen wanted to slap himself - why not ride a horse?
