Unlike the last time I came out, the shadow of flowers can be seen almost everywhere in the whole city. All kinds of flowers are placed on both sides of the street. I don't know if it is for the festival or to join in the fun. Even those merchants have put a lot of flowers in their stores to attract customers. 's attention.
Seeing such a lively scene, Murong couldn't help but said easily, "It seems that this Hundred Flowers Festival is really lively! However, as you said, there are really no men on the street today. !"
On the street today, if you look at the past, almost all of them are young women, and only some hawkers or merchants are men. It seems that this kind of festival is really a festival that belongs only to women!
"Of course," Shui Lingxin said with a smile, "This Hundred Flowers Festival is not only a big day in this city, but also a big day in the entire ancient city. Today in other towns, it is also celebrated. This Hundred Flowers Festival!"
"I haven't experienced such an interesting festival!" Murong said with a smile on the corner of her mouth, "So I really have to have a good time today."
Murong Qingyan and Shui Lingxin had a great time playing from the street to the end of the street, and they wanted to see anything interesting they saw.
It has to be said that the fighting power of the two girls is still very strong. I have been playing for more than an hour, but I am still not tired at all, and I am full of energy.
Knowing that it was very late, Shui Lingxin looked at Murong Qingyan and said, "Qianyan, it's not too early. Why don't we go back after we put the river lanterns on!"
"Alright." Murong nodded and said with a smile, "However, what's the matter with the river lanterns?"
"It's just going to the river outside the city to put on lotus lanterns. It's very beautiful." Shui Lingxin pursed her lips and smiled, "This is also one of the customs of this Hundred Flowers Festival. It is said that this is for young women to pray for a good marriage. One day, after those young women played for a while, they all had to set off the river lanterns before going back."
"Oh, so it is." Murong raised her face with a meaningful smile, looked at Shui Lingxin, and said with a wink, "So, do you want to pray that the relationship between you and Beiying Chenfeng will come naturally? ?"
After hearing Murong Qingyan's words, Shui Lingxin's cheeks suddenly turned red at a speed visible to the naked eye, she glared at Murong Qingyan, and after stomping her feet, she said angrily, "Qingyan, what are you doing here? What are you talking about? We're talking about putting the river lanterns on! Why did you go over there."
"I'm going with what you said!" Murong Qingyan shrugged and said with a smile, "You and Beiying Chenfeng were originally fiancées, and sooner or later you will get married, I say this. What's wrong!"
This time, Shui Lingxin was even more shy, she directly took Murong's hand and walked out of the city, "Okay, don't talk too much, let's hurry up and set off the river lanterns and go home! "
Seeing Shui Lingxin's shy look, Murong Qingyan followed her forward and said with a smile, "Lingxin, in fact, you don't need to be shy about such a thing! Besides, Beiying Chenfeng likes this kid so much. You, even if you don't put the river lantern, his heart is firmly tied to you."
"Qingyan, don't say it anymore." Seeing that Murong Qingyan's words became more and more outrageous, Shui Lingxin hurriedly stopped, "Also, I have only met Young Master Beiying a few times! You said something like this, If he finds out, will I still meet people in the future?"
"Lingxin, shouldn't you tell me, you still don't know what Beiying Chenfeng thinks of you!" Seeing Shui Lingxin's hurried walk, Murong said with a smile on her face, "Beijing Chenfeng almost every day They all used the excuse of coming to see me and Jue to come to your yard just to see you. You wouldn't think that he really came to see me and Jue! "
If this is the case, then Beiying Chenfeng is too sad. He had already acted so clearly, but Shui Lingxin seemed to know nothing. However, if that's the case, it's no one else's fault. Who made Bei Ying Chen Feng not speak up directly!
"What?" After hearing Murong Qingyan's words, Shui Lingxin stopped abruptly and said in shock, "Qingyan, what did you just say? You mean, Young Master Beiying is here to see me. ,talent-"
"Of course." Murong smiled and nodded, "He was probably embarrassed to say it directly, but he wanted to see you again, so he made excuses like this."
After receiving the affirmation of Murong Qingyan, Shui Lingxin's cheeks turned even redder. During this period of time, although Young Master Beiying came to her yard every day, she never thought of going anywhere else. But now Qingyan told her that Young Master Beiying did this because he wanted to see her. Does that mean that she still has a certain place in Beiying's heart
Thinking of this, Shui Lingxin's heart couldn't help but feel a hint of sweetness.
Seeing Shui Ling's heart-warming appearance, Murong pushed her with a smile on her face, and then said, "Come on, didn't you say you want to take me to set the river lanterns? Finish the river lanterns early, and beg for yours. Marriage, then let's go back!"
"Don't talk nonsense." After glaring at Murong Qingyan, Shui Lingxin walked straight ahead without waiting for Murong Qingyan.
Looking at Shui Lingxin's appearance, Murong's face turned to know that someone was angry with embarrassment. However, she didn't care and shrugged, then followed slowly.
Soon, the two came to the river outside the city. Probably because of a special day like today! So even at this time, the riverside is still brightly lit. In that small river, there are lotus lanterns floating one by one, which is extraordinarily beautiful on such a night. The lotus lanterns quietly floated forward on the river, and I didn't know where it would go. However, each lotus lantern represents the best wish in a young woman's heart.
However, after seeing such a situation, Murong Qingyan did not feel any joy, because she felt something was wrong. That's how quiet it is here.
Yes, there are a lot of lotus lanterns floating in the river. However, by the river, she could not see a woman's figure.
Thinking of this, Murong Qingyan didn't stop at all, she took Shui Lingxin's hand directly, and was about to go back.
When they were about to reach the river, Shui Lingxin found that Murong Qingyan suddenly grabbed her hand, and the two of them walked back directly. She immediately exclaimed, "Qingyan, what's wrong with you? We haven't put out the river lanterns yet!"
She didn't know what was going on, she just pulled her back and walked back. They were about to go to the river now, why did they suddenly want to go back at this time
"There's something wrong here." Murong Qingyan said while pulling Shui Lingxin forward, "It's so quiet here, it doesn't look like anyone exists at all. On a day like tonight, there should be Many women come here to set up river lanterns, but now there are many river lanterns here, but there are not many people."
After hearing Murong's words, Shui Lingxin instantly understood the reason. She didn't stop there, and immediately followed the footsteps of Murong Qingyan and walked back quickly.
Whether or not there's something wrong here, it's always right to be careful. Moreover, such a quiet environment made her feel an ominous premonition from the depths of her heart.
The two walked back non-stop, but found that they were going back in the direction of the city, but before they knew it, the two had entered a small wood for no reason.
Murong Qingyan stopped first. Now this situation is very wrong, even if we continue to walk, I am afraid that we will not be able to go back to the city. Rather than wasting energy to keep walking, stop and see what's going on.
"Qianyan." Seeing that Murong Qingyan stopped, Shui Lingxin didn't continue walking. She looked at Murong Qingyan with a trace of unease on her face, "We now—"
"We're just afraid that we've fallen into someone else's trap." A faint light flashed in Murong's face, "From the moment we left the city gate, we've probably entered someone else's enchantment. In other words, we didn't come to the river outside the city."
While speaking, Murong's radiant mental power reached the highest point, cautiously looking at the surrounding environment. This person can let her step into this trap without realizing it, it can only explain one point, the other party's cultivation base is higher than hers. Otherwise, she couldn't have been unaware at all.
After hearing Murong's words, Shui Lingxin's face flashed a trace of worry, "Then what should we do now? Now we don't even know who the enemy is."
Shui Lingxin's heart also began to feel a little nervous. She didn't expect that someone would dare to make trouble on the Shui family's territory. You know, this city is all within the scope of the Shui family. Now this person dares to attack her, the eldest lady of the Shui family, on the Shui family's territory. Who is this person
Murong Qingyan didn't look at Shui Lingxin or answer Shui Lingxin's question, she shouted to the surrounding, "Since you're here, don't hide your head and show your tail. What's your purpose of trapping us here? ?"
Although she didn't know what Murong Qingyan was going to do, Shui Lingxin still stood by Murong Qingyan's side obediently without saying a word.
After a while, just when Murong thought that the other party would not appear, a wave suddenly appeared in front of them, and then an old man dressed in gray appeared in front of them.
The old man was dressed in gray, and his eyes were full of energy, but there was a wicked gleam in his eyes, which looked creepy. He looked like he was in his seventies, but his real age is unknown.
However, when Murong Qingyan was surprised, she couldn't see through the cultivation of the old man in front of her. It can be seen that this old man's cultivation base should be much higher than hers. She is now in the early stages of the Mahayana period. Even she can't see through the old man's cultivation, which can only show the fact that the cultivation of the old man in front of him is definitely above the tribulation period.
From the old man's body, Murong Qingyan could feel a powerful pressure. Moreover, looking at the gloomy face of the old man, she knew that the visitor was not good.
"Who are you?" Looking at the old man in front of him, Murong's expression of vigilance was unprecedented, "What is your purpose?"
The old man in front of her gave her an unprecedented sense of threat, which made her have to deal with it carefully. I knew that when I came out today, I brought Xiaobai and steamed buns with me. With the two of them around, even a powerhouse in the tribulation period has nothing to be afraid of.
Shui Lingxin also secretly condensed her profound strength, her eyes fixed on the old man in front of her.
After the old man glanced at Murong Qingyan and Shui Lingxin, a trace of contempt flashed in his eyes, and then pointed at Murong Qingyan and said, "You girl can leave, today's affairs have nothing to do with you."
The purpose of his coming here today is just for the sake of water spirit. As for the other girl, it has nothing to do with him, and he doesn't plan to take action against this girl. According to his agreement with Nanfeng Ruolan, he only needs to kill Shui Lingxin.
After hearing the old man's words, Murong turned her face and Shui Lingxin looked at each other.
Then Shui Lingxin looked at the old man, a sharp light flashed in his eyes, "Did Nanfeng Ruolan ask you to come here?"
Except for Nanfeng Ruolan, she could not think of anyone else who wanted her own life. However, she did not expect that Nanfeng Ruolan was so courageous that she dared to attack her directly here. It seemed that Nanfeng Ruolan was really anxious to get rid of her this time. She should have known that she had imprisoned some people back then.
Now it seems that these people must know some key issues, otherwise, Nanfeng Ruolan would not be so anxious.
"Hmph, you don't need to know this." The old man gave Shui Lingxin a disdainful look, "You just need to know that today is your day of death."
Seeing the strong appearance of the old man, Shui Lingxin looked at Murong Qingyan and said, "Qianyan, you leave now, he is going to deal with me."
From the old man's words just now, we can know that the old man's goal is only her. Therefore, Qingyan can still leave safely.
Thinking of this, her heart was still a little more relaxed. If Qingyan was implicated because of her affairs, then she would really die.
"Hehe, how could I leave such a fun thing?" Murong smiled and smiled, "Besides, if I leave you and leave like this, Beiying Chenfeng will know, and won't kill me. what!"
Although the relationship between her and Shui Lingxin is not as close as she is with Long Liyuan. However, they are friends after all, so at this time, it is impossible for her to leave alone.
"Qingyan, you—" Seeing Murong Qingyan's appearance, Shui Lingxin was a little anxious, "This matter has nothing to do with you, you hurry up. If you really want to help me, then go back and help the soldiers! "
Although she said this, she knew very well in her heart that even if Murong went to rescue her, it would never be too late to save her. The old man in front of him was too powerful. Under his hands, she was afraid that she couldn't stand it for even a minute.
Even though Shui Lingxin had already said so, Murong Qingyan still had no plans to leave.
"Since you don't want to leave, don't blame me for being ruthless." The old man looked at Murong and smiled coldly, "I know you young people like to talk about loyalty. Today, I will let you know that these Useless loyalty will only bring you death."
Although Nanfeng Ruolan once said, let him not hurt another girl unless it is a last resort. Otherwise, it will bring endless troubles.
However, he didn't care about these words at all. He is now a powerhouse in the middle stage of the Tribulation Transcendence Period, and he is a powerhouse about to reach the later stage, so he doesn't worry about anyone's revenge at all. Even in this ancient city, there are not many people who can equal him.
What he wants to do now is to kill Shui Lingxin. Then the debt of friendship between him and Nanfeng Ruolan can be written off, and he can concentrate on his cultivation in the future.
In fact, according to Nanfeng Ruolan's identity, it is impossible for him to take action. If it weren't for the fact that he once owed Nanfeng Ruolan a favor, he would not have killed such a yellow-haired girl. However, if Nanfeng Ruolan's debt of gratitude is not repaid, it may hinder his path of self-cultivation.
Murong Qingyan ignored the old man's words, she secretly gathered her profound strength, and then attacked the old man.
After Shui Lingxin saw Murong Qingyan's action, she immediately followed and attacked the old man.
In the face of Murong Qingyan and Shui Lingxin's attacks, a trace of disdain flashed in the eyes of the old man, and after whispering "Beyond one's own strength", he immediately began to fight with the two.
For a time, the battle between the two sides seemed to be fierce.
On this side, the fight was fierce, and on the other side, Nanfeng Ruolan was restless in her room. After calculating the time, she knew that at this time, the old man should have already done something to Shui Ling.
This old man is a powerhouse in the tribulation period. If she hadn't saved the old man's life by chance, then she would never have the chance to know such a powerhouse.
Because of the life-saving grace, the old man owed her a favor. Originally, she planned to make good use of this favor, but unexpectedly, she would waste this favor on Shui Lingxin today.
However, as long as Shui Lingxin can be killed, it will all be worth it. If Shui Ling's heart is not dead, then the dead person is likely to be hers. Therefore, she will never regret using this favor on Shui Lingxin.
The old man is already a strong man in the tribulation period, and it is simply an easy task to deal with Shui Lingxin.
However, for some unknown reason, Nanfeng Ruolan's heart has never been able to settle down, perhaps because this time it is not only Shui Lingxin alone, but also Murong Qingyan by her side! She always felt that the existence of this Murong Qingyan might have any variables.
Now as long as she hasn't heard the news, she can't settle down.
Outside the city, Murong Qingyan and Shui Lingxin attacked the old man together, but obviously even if they were united, they were not the old man's opponent. However, after a few tricks, the two were already injured by the old man.
Shui Lingxin held back the pain that came from her body, looked at Murong Qingyan, and said, "Qianyan, are you alright!"
"I'm fine." Murong wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth with a face, and looked at the old man indifferently.
In this fight, she could clearly feel the strength of the old man. Such a powerful opponent was something she had never encountered before. This also stirred up the fighting spirit deep in her heart.
"Two little girls who are beyond their own power, dare to oppose me, I will be the exception to you today." The old man said with a sneer, "To die here today is the creation of the two of you."
After speaking, the old man didn't stop at all, and directly attacked in the direction of Murong Qingyan and Shui Lingxin.
In the face of the old man's attack, Murong turned her face away, and a sword was added in her hand, and a truly frightening chill was constantly emitted from the blade. She directly raised the sword in her hand and met the attack of the old man.
Even though the old man was already a strong man in the tribulation period, he still had to avoid its edge when facing Murong's face-lifting Heaven Slaughtering Sword. He quickly retracted his fist and took a few steps back.
After standing firm, the old man looked at the Heaven Slaughtering Sword in Murong Qingyan's hands, and then a glint of greed flashed in his eyes, "It's really a good sword! It should be a divine weapon! However, only It's a pity, although your girl's cultivation is high, but you can't use the maximum power of this sword, it's really a waste."
"However, since I saw it today, I will naturally not let this sword continue to be dusted."
Originally, he just planned that if Murong Qingyan kept obstructing him, he would kill this girl. However, if Murong showed his face and wanted to leave, he would not hinder him. However, when he saw the physical button in Murong Qingyan's hand, he changed his mind.
