As the New Year approaches, the streets and markets are bustling with people. Even teahouses, wine shops, and butcher shops are filled with the sounds of hawkers and shouts.
Yun Shao held the silver candy in her arms, which Xu Xiaoling bought for her. The two of them walked forward. When they saw something fun and delicious, they stopped to have fun. Xu Xiaoling was a fun person, and he also He often came to the market to have fun, so he naturally knew which places were interesting. He took Yun Shao to watch the fire-breathing juggling on the street, and took Yun Shao to the pastry shop, where he bought a lot of her favorite preserves and shortbread...
Yun Shao had only seen the street market at the foot of the mountain where she lived in the past. She had never seen such a lively and bustling market scene. She thought there was no difference, but she didn't expect it to be so interesting, so she naturally had a lot of fun.
After this back and forth, he was no longer polite to Xu Xiaoling.
Walking to the corner, Yun Shao stared at an old man with silver hair and a kind face. He was surrounded by a group of excited children.
"Grandpa, I want a majestic big tiger candy man."
"And me, and me, I want a little mouse." A younger girl rushed to say her request.
Yun Shao looked at Xu Xiaoling, grabbed his sleeves, and said unceremoniously: "Brother Xiaoling, I also want a candy man."
When Xu Xiaoling saw this, he chuckled. Yun Shao looked up at him and saw his peach blossom eyes full of smiles.
"Let's go, I'll take you to buy..."
Yun Shao heard this and walked happily ahead with a smile on his face.
When the old man saw the new guest, he asked with a smile: "What kind of candy man would you like to make?"
Xu Xiaoling looked at Yun Shao, blinked, and asked, "Does Sister Yun Shao have a sweetheart that she wants?"
Yun Shao subconsciously looked at the candy man sample aside, looking at the vivid little animals.
"I want a little rabbit, brother Xiaoling, what about you?"
"Well, then I want a rabbit just like you."
Yun Shao tilted his head and asked strangely: "I was born in the year of rabbit, so I want a rabbit candy man. Brother Xiaoling, why? Is it possible that you are also in the year of rabbit?"
"Ahem, of course not."
Xu Xiaoling coughed slightly and retorted with a somewhat unnatural expression.
He looked at Yun Shao's watery and innocent beautiful eyes, and the tips of his ears couldn't help but turn red: "Of course I like rabbits..."
After Xu Xiaoling blurted out, he subconsciously looked at Yun Shao. Seeing that she didn't notice, he breathed a sigh of relief, and then a trace of sadness flashed in his eyes.
He didn't know if he was attracted to Yun Shao because he fell in love with her at first sight from the first time he saw her. Every time he thought of her, he couldn't help but be happy. Everything about her appearance and personality impressed him. Like, she is not like the senior and junior sisters in Yunxu Sect who wield swords and guns. She has a delicate and beautiful appearance that is ignorant of worldly affairs, and exudes a quiet and pleasant atmosphere, which is fascinating.
The old man on the side looked up at the handsome man in front of him, with a knowing look in his eyes: "Okay, it will be ready in a moment."
After the candy man was finished, Xu Xiaoling handed the rabbit that was made first to Yun Shao with a teasing expression: "Do you think this rabbit looks like sister Yun Shao? She is delicate and cute."
Yun Shao looked at the crystal clear rabbit in his hand and smiled when he smelled the sweet maltose syrup in the air, but when he heard his words, he said coquettishly: "What nonsense are you talking about? How does it look like that?"
As he spoke, he raised his hand to pick up the candy man he handed over, only to see Xu Xiaoling raising his hand high, swaying slightly, with a smile on his face, deliberately teasing her: "Well, come on, let me take a closer look and see what's different. ………”
"Hmph, give it back to me quickly..."
"Junior sister Li Nian, let's go to Mingyun Zhai in front and have a look." A woman wearing Yunxu Sect clothes suggested.
Li Nian, who had just come out of the ban and came to the market with his sect sisters, responded with a low expression.
"Well, let's go and have a look."
A few people walked to the corner ahead. Li Nian looked up and saw a scene not far away, with disbelief in his eyes.
"Senior sister, look over there quickly, isn't that Junior Brother Xiaoling and Yun Shao?"
Li Nian pointed to Yun Shao not far away and said to her senior sister. Her originally depressed mood suddenly cleared up. She really didn't expect that Yun Shao and Xu Xiaoling had such a close relationship.
"Well, it's indeed the two of them."
Li Nian: "Let's go over and say hello."
I was originally thinking about how to win the favor of my senior brother, but I didn't expect Yun Shao to come to my door.
In this case, don't blame her. No matter what the situation, she decided to make the relationship between Yun Shao and Xu Xiaoling a reality.
As long as Yun Shao has someone he likes, and according to his senior brother's temperament, he will never have too much involvement with her.
Thinking of these, Li Nian's eyebrows were filled with excitement.
"Junior Sister Yun Shao, I haven't seen you for a long time. I didn't expect that Junior Sister and Junior Brother Xiaoling have such a good relationship."
Yun Shao heard the noise and was a little surprised when he saw the person coming. Then he said, "Senior Sister Li Nian, long time no see."
Li Nian looked at Xu Xiaoling with teasing in his eyes: "Junior brother Xiaoling has always kept away from women. Why does it look different today? Junior brother has a girl he likes." As he spoke, his eyes glanced at Yun Shao.
Xu Xiaoling looked at Li Nian, who was interrupting his time with Yun Shao, with a somewhat displeased expression. Listening to her nonstop chatter, he retorted impatiently: "Senior Sister Li Nian is very lenient. She just says whatever she wants. , those who didn’t know better thought you were a matchmaker. As soon as the ban was lifted, you wanted to go back.”
"Xu Xiaoling, what are you talking nonsense about?" When Li Nian heard that she was compared to a matchmaker with a big body and a round waist, Li Nian immediately became angry.
"I just care about junior brother and say hello to you. What did I say? Junior brother has wronged me like this."
"What do you mean, senior sister, you don't know? Yun Shao just came to Yunxu Sect and is not familiar with the place. Is it weird that I accompany her to arrange some New Year's goods? But it's senior sister who says some inexplicable words as soon as she comes here, which makes people criticize. Why, no Are you anxious to pester Senior Brother, have you fallen in love with me?"
Not to mention his relationship with Yun Shao, if Li Nian is allowed to spread, Yun Shao will probably be criticized in Yunxu Sect. Those female disciples who can't stand it still don't know how to talk about Yun Shao.
He didn't express his feelings to Yun Shao, so he naturally didn't want her to be slandered.
"Xu Xiaoling, if you want to be beautiful, I will fall in love with you, you bastard!" Li Nian pointed at him angrily.
She originally wanted to let the senior and junior sisters witness the relationship between Xu Xiaoling and Yun Shao, but he interrupted her and forgot the purpose of the fight.
"Oh, then senior sister, please stay away from me and don't affect my mood."
"You, Xu Xiaoling, wait for me." Li Nian looked at the crowd watching the excitement around him, pushed aside the junior sister who was standing aside, and turned to leave.
The fellow seniors looked at each other, a little helpless, thinking that Li Nian was a little confused.
The senior sister on the side said: "I'm sorry to bother you, junior brother. We have something to do and we'll leave first."
"Well, senior sisters, please walk slowly."
Xu Lingxiao didn't say much to them, his tone was calm, and he was not mean to Li Nian at all.
"Here, bunny candy man, sister Yun Shao needs to get it."
Yun Shao took the candy man and asked with a worried look: "Sister Li Nian is so angry, is it really okay?"
"There is no need to worry about her. I have not quarreled with her once or twice. Everyone in the Yunxu Sect knows that she and I have always been like this, so there is no need to pay attention to her."
Yun Shao nodded after hearing this.
Xu Xiaoling patted her head with a wanton look on his face: "Let's go, I'll take you to a fun place."
…………
Li Nian returned to the sect alone, angrily scolding Xu Xiaoling secretly: "Xu Xiaoling, this bastard, I want him to look good sooner or later, but I don't believe it anymore. If he falls into my hands someday, let's see how I treat him!"
Angrily walking on the road, Li Nian heard other disciples talking about the senior brother's return, and his face suddenly became happy.
"Elder brother is back? Where is he now?"
The disciple on the side bowed and replied: "Senior Sister."
"Tell me quickly, where is Senior Brother now?"
"Elder brother went to the headmaster."
Before the other disciples could finish speaking, Li Nian left in a hurry.
The disciple on the side saw this and shook his head: "Senior Sister is still so eager."
"Yes, everyone knows that the eldest sister likes the eldest brother, but they also know that the eldest brother has no romantic feelings for the eldest sister."
"How do you know that the eldest brother doesn't like the eldest sister? The eldest sister's father is an elder. If the eldest brother succeeds as the leader one day, he will also need the approval of Elder Li. After all, the leader needs the approval of the five elders."
"How come I don't know that if we are both men, if we really meet someone we like, we will be as cold and ruthless as the senior brother and retreat? The senior brother treats the senior sister with alienation and indifference, and there is no way he looks happy."
"Elder brother is different. He has always been like this. He is polite and distant towards everyone."
"Junior brother, you don't understand this. No matter how arrogant and indifferent a man is, he will still be tender and uncontrollable when facing the woman he likes."
"Senior brother, you seem to understand very well?"
"Of course, senior brother is someone who has been there..." The two figures gradually moved away.
The inner room of the leader's residence.
"Ahem, is it going well here?"
Shen Yunqing leaned on the couch, his face pale, and he kept coughing lightly.
"It went well and the matter has been resolved."
Shen Moyao sat aside with worry in his eyes: "Master, do you want to ask Uncle Meng to come over and treat you?"
Shen Yunqing tightened his collar, his eyes calm and warm: "Mo Yao, I am very aware of my physical condition."
Shen Moyao pursed his lips and said nothing. He knew that the master had not recovered from his injuries and had fought with Wu Jue Gong again. Now his body was covered with scars and serious internal injuries, and he often coughed up blood. He might not have much time left. Thinking of this, Shen Moyao clenched his fists and his veins bulged. .
"Mo Yao, don't feel guilty. I deserved my death and I am not ashamed of my sect. Now that Wujue Palace has been eliminated, the remaining remnants are nothing to worry about. With your ability, you will be able to easily deal with these rabble. I am not worried now." Shen Yunqing said with a gentle expression.
Looking at him with a smile on his face: "By the way, Elder Li mentioned Li Nian to me. He said that Nian Nian has been admiring you since childhood. In his words, he wanted to marry his daughter to you. Mo Yao, are you willing?"
Shen Moyao was stunned, his brows furrowed, and he thought of Yun Shao's charming figure in his mind. A trace of tenderness flashed across his dark and deep eyes, and he raised his head to look at his master.
"I have no romantic feelings towards Junior Sister Li Nian, and I don't want to marry her."
He already has someone he wants to marry, and he doesn't want her to suffer any injustice.
Shen Yunqing knew his temperament, and sighed and said: "Actually, I am a little moved. If you don't understand anything after you take over as the leader, Elder Yili will definitely do his best to plan for you with his caring and caring look, and you will be relaxed when you fall. many."
He didn't insist on letting Mo Yao marry Li Nian. He didn't want to embarrass the disciple he had raised by his side since he was a child. After all, he couldn't force his relationship.
"Master, don't worry. The five elders have fulfilled their duties to the sect. Even if they have no personal relationships, they will definitely make plans for the sect with all their heart. Master understands their character, so why worry."
Shen Yunqing looked at Mo Yao with a serious expression: "Of course I am relieved about the other elders, but Elder Li will completely ignore his daughter Li Nian and pamper and indulge him. If you refuse to marry Li Nian today, I am afraid that one day he will break up with you. It’s ugly sometimes.”
"Master, even though Elder Li pampers Junior Sister Li Nian, there is always a bottom line between right and wrong. If he really doesn't care at all, he is not worthy of being an elder. The thing has not happened yet, so master, don't worry and take care of yourself."
Shen Moyao's expression was cold and stern, with a cold light in his eyes. If Elder Li really let Li Nian go, don't blame him for being ruthless if it harmed his fellow disciples.
Shen Yunqing nodded and said no more. Shen Moyao waited for the master to fall asleep, then told the disciples at the door to take care of the master, then turned and left.
He looked in the direction of Yun Shao and his thoughts moved slightly.
"Big brother."
Shen Moyao turned around and saw Li Nian walking towards him with a happy expression.
