Chapter 107 Chapter 106 [The stream of light is bright every night]

"Senior sister refused to admit it at the time, but I knew you were caring about me, so this is the root of my thinking about these problems."

Looking at the bright smile on her face, Lu Chen also felt very happy, so there was a hint of ridicule in his tone.

Lin Xi raised her smooth chin slightly and said, "Who refuses to admit it?"

"Ah? I remember that senior sister said at the time that she heard that Guangling City is rich in wealth. She hasn't been out for many days since she came here, so she took the time to walk around the city."

"Junior brother has such a good memory, it would be a pity not to take the first prize."

Lin Xi snorted lightly, but his eyes were full of smiles.

For Lu Chen, he is very meticulous in the fields he is familiar with, and he is extremely organized and cautious in doing things.

But at other times, he is more bold.

For example, if he was asked to describe Lin Xi's appearance now, he would probably only use tacky words like "beautiful".

But he thinks the senior sister is really pretty.

Her delicate eyebrows are like slender willow leaves, and the light in her apricot-core eyes is gentle and fresh, and like the tranquility of a pond after a new rain in an empty mountain, without any fearful aggression.

It's as intoxicating as the spring breeze.

"You...don't stare at me like this."

Lin Xi's fair cheeks gradually turned pale pink.

Lu Chen came back to his senses and said with some curiosity: "Senior sister, are there many people in the Seven Star Gang who want to get close to you?"

Although he asked very tactfully, with the demeanor of maneuvering around on the battlefield, Lin Xi immediately understood the hidden meaning of this sentence and couldn't help but smile: "They don't dare."

This answer was beyond Lu Chen's expectations. He repeated in confusion: "Don't you dare?"

"Yes." Lin Xi nodded slightly and said calmly: "I used to be alone, especially when walking outside. Perhaps it was because after wearing the mask of the Bodhisattva Man, I was too violent when killing people, which led to the overwhelming number of people in the gang. Most of the brothers are a little afraid of me and don't dare to hang out in front of me. Usually only people like Uncle Tao and Brother Xi will take the initiative to talk to me."

Lu Chen said meaningfully: "Fortunately, when I met Senior Sister, you didn't wear the mask of a Bodhisattva."

Lin Xi smiled and changed the topic: "Now that you have mastered the Mysterious Sutra and several external skills, it will take a long time to hone your foundation. Don't attack others easily because you don't have enough experience against the enemy. These days I will seize the time to help you with tricks and try my best to help you learn what fighting means."

"it is good."

"Also, since you have chosen to join the army, you will definitely fight on the battlefield in the future. I know these things are unavoidable, but you must remember that you must never show off your courage on the battlefield like you did outside Guangling City, as you can easily get injured. You may even lose your life, do you understand?"

"I will definitely remember my senior sister's sincere teachings."

"You... Speaking of this matter, you really need to learn from Lieutenant Li. She is the soldier who truly understands and knows how to charge into battle. You are not as good as her in this regard."

"That's true. Lieutenant Li's family background has been influenced by his education since he was a child. After all, I became a monk halfway through."

"This Li girl has a straightforward temper. She may have grown up in a military camp. She doesn't like those roundabout ways, so she just says what she wants, but it can be seen that she is not a bad person. I know that you are... Actually, it doesn't matter. Too much, the Li family has an extraordinary position in the Qi army, even if you have the support of Governor Xiao, it is not a bad thing to have some friendship with the Li family."

When saying these words, Lin Xi looked unnatural.

"Senior sister is right, I understand."

Lu Chen coughed lightly, glanced at the darkening sky outside the window, and gently changed the subject: "Senior sister, are you hungry? I'll have someone prepare dinner."

Lin Xi nodded in agreement and smiled softly.

After dinner, Li Chengen came over to ask for instructions on a few things. After Lu Chen made arrangements, it was already dark.

There was silence in the world.

A bright moon hangs on the night sky.

The cool breeze brings a bit of refreshment on this summer night, and the occasional sound of insects can be heard outside.

Lu Chen walked slowly into the side hall carrying a wine bottle and two small cups, and saw Lin Xi sitting by the railing of the outer corridor, quietly admiring the moonlight.

The faint moonlight shone on her body, giving her a hazy and vague sense of beauty.

Lin Xi turned around and saw the jug in Lu Chen's hand, and then heard him explain seriously: "Senior sister, this is Jianghua City's specialty Qionghualu. It has a soft taste and a light alcohol content, similar to fruit wine. Even if you drink a jug, Not even a bit drunk."

Lin Xi smiled slightly and said: "If we really compete in drinking capacity, you may not be my opponent."

Lu Chendeng was a little unconvinced.

Although he was not good at this drink in his previous life, he had a good capacity for drinking and rarely met any rivals at the drinking table.

Now that this body has the blessing of inner energy, it will surely be able to take further steps.

"My father raised me as a boy since I was a child. At that time, he would have banquets with the elders in the gang and would often tease me with drinks. When I grew up, I drank with Uncle Tao and the others several times, and they all got drunk. I can still stand well, and no one has challenged me since then. I can drink two jars of that two-pound jar."

Lin Xi said with a smile.

"How many? Two altars?"

Lu Chen's steps hesitated, his expression slightly nervous.

Lin Xi stuck out the tip of his tongue and said sheepishly: "Don't get me wrong, I'm not a heavy drinker, and I don't usually drink by myself. I'm just more talented in this area, just like you in the military. It's like being able to teach yourself without a teacher." Naturally, Lu Chen would not doubt it, because in the nearly half a year of getting along, Lin Xi had never deliberately mentioned drinking.

He placed the jug and cup on the small table, then sat down on the other side. After pouring the wine, he pushed a glass over and asked curiously: "Then what does Senior Sister do when she is in the mountains?"

Lin Xi held the cup and took a sip, looking up at the bright moon in the sky, and said leisurely: "When I was a child, I practiced martial arts. I got up at [-]:[-] every day and spent an hour to hone the foundation. After breakfast, my father would teach My outer sect skills will last about an hour. I can rest for a while in the afternoon, and the afternoon is my time to think about and practice. In the evening, my father will check my progress if he is free."

Lu Moran, slowly drank the wine in the glass, and said with emotion: "It's very hard."

"Hard work?" Lin Xi shook his head and said calmly: "You think it's hard, but my elder and younger brothers are extremely envious. My father has extremely strict requirements for them, but he rarely personally urges them to practice martial arts like he does with me. Progress, this is usually done by my uncle. In fact, I don’t feel it’s hard because I’ve known since I was a child that many people don’t have enough to eat, and I don’t need to worry about this at all.”

Lu Chen said softly: "But you have to have your own life after all."

Lin Xi rubbed the cup in his hand, followed the bright moon with his eyes, and said with a hint of regret: "I haven't thought about this problem. In other words, before talking to you, I actually didn't have this idea in my heart. Growing up, Everyone I see is busy, and my father can’t stop for a day, so I want to try my best to do something for him.”

She turned to look at Lu Chen and smiled: "What about you? Have you ever thought about your future life?"

Lu Chen poured wine again and said calmly: "My father hopes that I can become a rich kid with a worry-free life. In fact, considering the background and industry of the Lu family, as long as I am not the kind of stupid prodigal son, I can achieve this goal." The goal is not difficult.”

"It's really not difficult."

"Everyone's ideas are constantly changing. Maybe I thought so too, but after going through these things, I feel like I can do something better."

"Something better?"

"For example, everyone should stop fighting for life and death and can sit down and live a peaceful life."

"This is difficult."

"As long as we get rid of those who disagree, the remaining people won't object."

Lin Xi couldn't help but smile: "That's right."

Lu Chen didn't deliberately cover up the situation because he knew Lin Xi didn't like this way of talking.

Lin Xi tasted the aroma of the wine leisurely and said slowly: "Looking back on the past these days, I am also curious. You and I should be on opposite sides. I am a Jianghu person who grew up in the mountains, and you are The rich and powerful young master, even if he is not an enemy because of the friendship between his elders, he should not be so close."

"This is fate."

Lu Chen sighed softly, then turned to look at Lin Xi and said, "Or fate."

Lin Xi's heart trembled.

She is an extremely smart woman, otherwise she would not be able to easily comprehend those profound martial arts.

Some things don’t need to be made explicit, and some things don’t need to be said clearly.

Of course she understands.

but……

She thought of her father far away in the north and the expectant looks of thousands of gang members, and said softly: "Junior brother, there are not many good people in the Southern Qi court. In the future, when you rise to prominence, you must always be careful and remember not to trust others easily. I know you He is very smart and rarely makes mistakes when dealing with people in the world, but people's hearts are unpredictable, especially in such a treacherous place, so you have to be cautious."

"I will."

"You don't have to worry about me. Although I'm far inferior to you on the battlefield, I'm definitely more experienced than you in terms of walking in the world. And I just like to be alone, which doesn't mean I don't have helpers around me. After I go back, I will send your Tell your father all the instructions, and I will do those things according to your instructions."

"it is good."

"And you must remember to practice diligently. Martial arts is like sailing against the current. If you don't advance, you will retreat..."

Lin Xi spoke softly, her thoughts a little messy, as if she was talking about whatever came to mind, but every word was filled with concern for Lu Chen.

Lu Chen stared at the deep night, listened carefully, and agreed concisely.

After an unknown amount of time, the pot of wine had reached its bottom, and the two of them stopped talking, just feeling the blowing of the night wind in silence.

"Sister."

Lu Chen suddenly spoke.

"Ok?"

Lin Xi responded, and then the end of her voice trembled.

Lu Chen stretched out his right hand and held Lin Xi's left hand. His movements were not fast at all. With Lin Xi's keen senses and advanced martial arts, he could easily avoid it.

But perhaps because of drinking, his senses were slightly dulled, so Lin Xi did not move away and allowed him to hold her hand.

Lu Chen didn't press forward, because what filled his heart at this moment was the emotion called loss and reluctance.

Time passed quietly.

After being silent for a long time, Lu Chen said slowly and solemnly: "I will go find you."

Lin Xi lowered his eyes and responded imperceptibly: "Okay."

The bright moon is bright, and its clear light shines on the world, reflecting on their bodies, giving off a warm and clear brilliance.
