After straightening the hairpin on her head, Jade asked Bai Shuyu, "What are you looking at me for?"
Bai Shuyu replied: "Didn't I just say that from now on, I will only focus on you."
Jade smiled softly and stood up.
Put out the fire first, it's so outrageous here.
After Bai Shuyu stood up, Jade patted the dust and hay leaves on his back.
"It's getting late," Jade said, "Let's go back."
"kindness."
Bai Shuyu sent Jade to the entrance of the small courtyard. Standing outside the door, Bai Shuyu seemed to have something to say.
But Jade didn't give him a chance to speak. She said, "You should go back and rest early."
"Well," Bai Shuyu cleared his throat, "I still have something to say to you."
"Let's talk tomorrow," Jade still had an intoxicating smile on her face, "If you talk too much, I won't be able to sleep."
"Oh...I know...I'll go back then."
"Walk slowly."
Returning to his house, Jade let out a long breath. Recalling the scene just now, she reached out and touched her lips, feeling a little unreal.
In fact, Bai Shuyu didn't use much force when he grabbed her. The "Ah" she made was not because of pain, but because he suddenly felt the presence of that hand while concentrating on the game between his lips and teeth, and unconsciously made that sound. A sound.
It was such a long journey from the forbidden area of the Bai family to his room, and the feeling of being touched was still vivid in my mind, as if that hand had always been there. She squeezed it herself, feeling a little confused, and said to herself: "Is it that comfortable?"
Or are you saying that you don’t feel anything about yourself? But when I was looking at Amber...even though she was a little older, I didn't find her too cute to put down.
…
Bai Shuyu is self-aware: he has a distinguished background, handsome appearance, and intelligent personality. But even though he had such a deep understanding of himself, he still felt that if he was worthy of Jade, that would be too much.
Who is worthy of such a woman?
Bai Shuyu walked very slowly, with a strange smile on his face. He felt that he would not be able to sleep tonight.
While walking, I was thinking about the scene just now, and I didn't even notice anyone walking across from me.
"Third Young Master?" It was Chen Ling'er's voice, "Is there anything you are happy about?"
Bai Shuyu came back to his senses, looked at Chen Ling'er walking towards him, and replied with a smile: "Nothing."
As she got closer, Chen Ling'er saw Bai Shuyu's face clearly and asked doubtfully: "Third Young Master, what's wrong with your right eye?"
Speaking of his right eye, Bai Shuyu then thought that he had been beaten by Jade just now, and a punch hit his eye socket. After Chen Ling'er reminded him, Bai Shuyu felt the pain.
He rubbed his eyes and replied: "I was beaten by Jade."
"Is it Miss Jade?" Chen Ling'er became even more confused. She knew that Jade didn't hold back when fighting. She could usually see bruises on Bai Shuyu's hands, arms, and neck, but what happened to his face this time? It doesn't look like it was struck with a wooden sword.
Bai Shuyu said carelessly: "It's okay, I hit him accidentally."
"Does it hurt?" Chen Ling'er reached out to touch Bai Shuyu's eyes. Bai Shuyu subconsciously avoided it and said with a smile, "It's okay, it doesn't hurt. It's getting late, Miss Ling'er, please go back and rest early." "
Looking at Bai Shuyu's leaving back, Chen Ling'er seemed to understand something. She looked in the direction of the Jade Courtyard, her eyes were very complicated, showing sadness and jealousy.
…
It's time to leave Chang'an. This trip has caused quite a stir in Chang'an, and I might be gossiping about him. .
Early in the morning, Li Fenglan and his party packed their luggage and drove out of Chang'an City.
The city of Chang'an was very noisy during the day. The three girls opened the car curtains and watched the bustling streets of Chang'an. During this trip to Chang'an, a few of us didn't get to see Chang'an properly. Now that we are leaving, we should seize the time to take a look.
Li Fenglan looked at Linghan, then at Xu Qingchen, and then at Mu Yun who was driving. She pulled Linghan into the car.
He lowered the car curtain and whispered, "Linghan, I have something to ask you."
Ayana asked: "What's going on?"
Li Fenglan bit her lip and said softly: "Don't blame me for gossiping, I have no other intentions... We have known each other for such a long time, can we be considered good sisters?"
Ayana nodded and said with a smile: "Forget it, you and Kohaku's temperament suits me very well."
Li Fenglan seemed to have made up her mind and said, "Okay... then I'll ask... that is, after two people confirm their relationship, are there no taboos?"
Hearing this question, Amber also pricked up her ears.
Ayana blushed and asked, "What are you referring to?"
Li Fenglan leaned close to Linghan's ear and asked in a lower voice: "You...have been spending the night in Mr. Xu's room during this time, right?"
Ayana's already red face suddenly turned even redder, like a ripe plum.
Kohaku exclaimed: "Sister Ayami! You... um..."
The two people hurriedly covered Amber's mouth and asked her to keep her voice down. You know, Zhu Mingyu's ears are very good.
Li Fenglan quickly explained to Linghan: "I didn't do it on purpose... I found it accidentally..."
Ayana suddenly laughed, let go of Kohaku's mouth, nodded shyly, and said, "It's true... but he didn't do anything, and he's not too brave either."
Amber was a little confused, narrowed her eyes and asked, "What are you doing?"
This made Li Fenglan and Linghan both embarrassed. Li Fenglan whispered, "You will know later."
Ayagami said: "As for taboos... I think... if both parties are willing, then there are no taboos. Why do you ask this? Do you have any ideas?"
Li Fenglan shook her head violently and replied: "I have no idea."
While talking, the group of people had already left the city. After leaving the city, they headed towards Zhongnan Mountain, but not far away, they saw a dozen money guards not far away, apparently waiting for them.
Li Fenglan came out of the carriage, stood next to Mu Yun, and asked the money guards: "Are you waiting for us?"
A money guard walked up to the car and took off the black scarf on his face. She turned out to be a woman, but she was tall and looked like a man.
"Miss Li," the money guard said, "my master has asked us to escort you all for a ride."
Li Fenglan smiled: "We understand the kindness of the God of Fortune, so I won't trouble you all."
"Miss, maybe you don't know yet?" The man whispered, "Yuan Youshou died last night."
Li Fenglan looked confused and asked, "Who is Yuan Youshou?"
"That's the Yuan family member who was injured by Miss Amber."
Li Fenglan was startled and felt a little incredible: "Dead?"
Amber came out of the carriage and said doubtfully, "It's impossible. Even an ordinary person who doesn't know martial arts can withstand my palm."
"But that's the fact. He died. His internal organs were shattered and he died from medical treatment."
Li Fenglan gritted her teeth and asked, "So, the God of Fortune is afraid that the Yuan family will cause trouble for us?"
"right."
"That's not necessary. Others are welcome to reason with us in the Hall of Leisure. Everyone, please go back."
After that, return to the carriage.
Seeing Li Fenglan's refusal, the money guards stopped insisting and just stood quietly by the roadside, watching them leave.
After walking far away, Zhu Mingyu said solemnly: "It is most likely that he was killed by someone else, and it is all on us. This Yuan Youshou is the son of the head of the Yuan family, and he has a high status in the family. He is dead , it is impossible for the Yuan family to swallow their anger."
Li Fenglan said: "I know, but now we can't explain it to others."
"The Yuan family has some influence in the world and is very rich. If they are determined to go against Changfeng Tower, it will be enough for us to drink from it. Moreover, Jin Caishen's attitude is a bit strange. Why does he want to protect us?"
Li Fenglan shook his head and said: "I can't figure it out... It seems that the siege of Ye Yu Xiao
The construction work has to be postponed for a while. "
Zhu Mingyu nodded: "Indeed, this period has been too high-profile, and it is not appropriate to make any big moves in the future."
Li Fenglan sighed: "Just take it one step at a time."
Li Fenglan didn't have a good solution to this matter. She couldn't turn around and go back to Chang'an to help the Yuan family investigate the case. Next, something even more troublesome for Li Fenglan occurred.
Around noon, they were almost at the foot of Zhongnan Mountain. On the way up the mountain, a carriage stopped in the middle of the road. The driver was an old man dressed as a farmer, and a young man dressed as a scholar stood beside the carriage, looking at Li Fenglan and his party with a smile on his face.
The one who comes is not good.
Li Fenglan was a little helpless, wondering how many people would block the way along the way?
Zhu Mingyu asked: "Brother, can you get out of the way?"
The young man smiled and said, "Of course, but before that, we need to discuss something."
Li Fenglan became impatient, jumped out of the carriage and said loudly: "Just tell me who you are and what you are here for. Stop talking nonsense."
The young man bowed and said, "I'm here, Ye Yu Xiaozhu, Chen Zijue. I've met Miss Li."
This name almost sounded like a cocoon to Li Fenglan's ears. Now that he saw the real person, Li Fenglan actually didn't believe it. She looked at the woods around her and could vaguely see silhouettes of people. It looked like she was bringing a lot of people with her. This made Li Fenglan a little confused. With so many people, why didn't they ambush? A sudden attack would give Li Fenglan and the others a headache.
Li Fenglan smiled and asked, "I wonder what Mr. Chen wants from me?"
Chen Zijue replied: "I am not here to see Miss Li this time."
Li Fenglan had a bad feeling, so she didn't say anything.
Chen Zijue continued: "Don't worry, Ms. Li, the people I brought today are to ensure your own safety, not to conflict with you."
With that said, Chen Zijue looked at Mu Yun and said, "Leader Si Ye, come back with me."
For a moment, the air seemed to freeze, and everyone held their breath. Everyone had thought about this news, but when the day actually came, it was too hard to accept.
Mu Yun sat quietly in the carriage, lowered his head and said nothing.
Li Fenglan said: "You said he is Si Ye, is he Si Ye?"
Chen Zijue replied: "Miss Li should have met Master Junyan, and she should know something about Leader Si Ye. He is very important to our Yeyu Xiaozhu. At first we thought he had his own plans, Later I learned that he had lost his memory... Miss Li, Ye Yu Xiaozhu's pursuit of Xianrentang and Changfeng Tower has been cancelled. From now on, Xiaozhu will no longer pose a threat to you. As a condition, I will also Please Miss Li let me go."
"Hmph," Li Fenglan sneered, "Conditions? So many people have died in our Changfeng Tower, you just say it?"
"Miss Li, Ye Yu Xiaozhu is a knife. If you are willing to pay, we will do your business. There is nothing wrong with a knife."
"The sword cannot choose whether to kill or not, but you can. What I dislike the most is this rhetoric."
Chen Zijue smiled slightly: "The conditions can be negotiated."
"Okay, you can reveal the person behind this incident nineteen years ago."
"One of Xiaozhu's principles is not to disclose information about his employer, which makes me a little embarrassed."
"If you don't tell me, you won't be able to take him away."
"Even if I tell you, you won't let me go."
"Then why are you here talking nonsense? Are you looking for death?"
At this time, a middle-aged man's voice came from the distance: "Little girl, speak more leisurely."
Everyone looked in that direction. The middle-aged man was Shuo Feng, the top master of Yeyu Xiaozhu.
Li Fenglan looked at Shuofeng and said coldly: "You are nothing!"
Chen Zijue smiled and said, "It seems that Miss Li has a backup plan."
"Yes, if there's a fight, those dogs you hide in the woods will count for nothing."
"So we didn't want to fight, and this is at the foot of Zhongnan Mountain.
I don't have such courage. "
"There's no need to talk about that. If you don't want to fight, just get out."
"Why don't we let Leader Si Ye decide whether to stay or go?"
"I have made him his master, and he will not leave with you." After saying these words, Li Fenglan regretted a little. She was anxious, and when she was anxious, she said the wrong thing. Saying this is tantamount to admitting that Mu Yun is Si Ye.
Mu Yun suddenly jumped off the carriage and looked up at Li Fenglan with a sincere smile on his face: "Miss Li, I'll go with them."
Li Fenglan held on to the carriage with one hand, almost losing her balance. She looked at Mu Yun blankly and asked, "What did you say?"
