"Cousin..." County Mistress Jiayan murmured, after the initial panic, her whole head was in a daze.
On Xie Lianzhen's face, the smile was still so bright: "Huh?"
County Lord Jiayan looked at him, then at the young man, as if he had found the target of his anger, he shouted loudly: "Xie Changhui! How dare you kick the door of this County Lord!"
The young man who finished kicking the door came back behind Xie Lianzhen, looking at his nose, nose, and heart, as if he had nothing to do with himself.
"Xie Changhui—"
"Shi Jiayan." Xie Lianzhen's voice sounded, with a calm tone, as if nothing had happened, but also as if everything had happened.
"Cousin!" Mistress Jiayan panicked all of a sudden, "I... I didn't want to do anything..."
Xie Lianzhen glanced sideways: "Chang Hui."
The young man behind replied: "Yes." Then he stepped forward.
He had long arms and long legs, approaching with a blank expression, full of oppressive feeling, forcing County Mistress Jiayan to back up again and again, screaming: "Xie Changhui, what are you doing?!"
Xie Changhui didn't even look at her, he reached out and snatched the medicine box from the maid. He uncorked a bottle, poured out some medicinal powder, sniffed it, and said, "My lord, the powder of firefox vine has been added."
"Firefox Vine..." Xie Lianzhen laughed, "You are willing to give up the magic medicine for promoting blood circulation."
County Mistress Jiayan flinched: "Cousin..." He laughed so scary.
"I heard that you made a bet with her?"
County Mistress Jiayan lowered her head, not daring to speak.
"In my name, give her the wound medicine with added ingredients. If she really uses it, let alone today, she won't even be able to participate in this challenge, and she will naturally lose." Xie Lianzhen said slowly, "Shi Jiayan , You have really grown up!"
His voice was indifferent, without a trace of emotion, as cold as the snow that never melted on the top of Taichen Mountain.
It's not the first time for County Mistress Jiayan to hear him speak like this, but in the past when he spoke like this, he was targeting outsiders, and she just felt refreshed and enjoyable, but now that he was targeting herself, she felt like a bucket of ice water was being thrown head-on When I got down, my whole body was icy cold.
"Cousin..." she cried out pleadingly, "I, I don't like her, can you not..."
"Have you ever liked anyone?" Xie Lianzhen looked at her, "Since the princess gave me a look, how many times is this?"
"I... I didn't do anything to her, just..."
"It's just that you can't participate in the challenge." Xie Lianzhen said indifferently, and the face that was still bright and beautiful just now was quickly covered by clouds, "Shi Jiayan, you were born to be the county lord. Looking at you, you feel that everything in the world is going to go according to your wishes?"
"So what if you can't participate in the challenge?" Being reprimanded like this for the first time in her life, County Mistress Jiayan felt rebellious and shouted, "She won't lose a piece of meat! Even if she really made it to the rookie list, what good would it be? ? Isn't it just to satisfy her vanity?"
Xie Lianzhen laughed, but his eyes seemed to be frozen: "For you, of course, it's not worth mentioning. As the only county head of this generation of Zhongzhou royal family, you can have whatever you want, and you can do whatever you want. Ever since When you start your body training, countless rare elixir will be delivered to you. As long as you open your mouth, you can find all kinds of top-grade mysterious weapons. But do you know? Some people are obviously talented, but they are cut off from all resources, even the most basic ones. You have to work hard to get some body-refining elixir. It’s just a middle-grade black weapon, and you have to spend all the savings of the master and the apprentice... The rookie list is not even worthless to you, but to you For many people, it is a crucial step in life.”
He said softly: "You just said wrong, you can't participate in the challenge, what she lacks is not just a piece of meat, but a chance to change her destiny. Those people stepped her into the mud, but you, even her chance to fight to deprive."
County Lord Jiayan's eye circles were red, but he didn't dare to say anything, but just looked at him with aggrieved eyes, accusing.
"My patience has a limit." Xie Lianzhen said lightly, "I remember your help and concern. But that doesn't mean that I will be tolerant of anything you do. There are countless powerful people in this world. The county lord, speaking of honorable status, but in front of a real expert, he is also an ant. Even the Lian Zhenxing Lord I picked up can not give you face, let alone others? This is the last time. My warning fell on deaf ears, don't blame me for being merciless."
After finishing speaking, he signaled Xie Changhui to push the wheelchair and leave.
"Cousin!" County Mistress Jiayan shouted behind him, tears streaming down her face. She has grown up so much, she has never felt so wronged.
But this didn't keep Xie Lianzhen, the figures of the two walked further and further away, and they just disappeared.
"County Master..." The maid was at a loss, wanted to comfort her but dared not.
"Get out!" County Mistress Jiayan pushed her away violently, covered her face and ran away.
"County Master! County Master!" The maid hurriedly chased after her.
…
On the rooftop, the competition is still going on.
"Young master, shall we go back and watch the competition?"
During the competition, it is inappropriate for Lian Zhenxing, who is the master of the Qizhen Temple, to leave the banquet like this. If County Mistress Jiayan hadn't left suddenly, Xie Lianzhen wouldn't have appeared here.
Xie Lianzhen didn't nod, but looked in another direction: "Go there."
A hint of surprise flashed in Xie Changhui's eyes, but he pushed him past without saying anything.
When they arrived at the courtyard where Jiuyao Palace temporarily lived, Xie Lianzhen raised his hand, and the two of them just stopped under the tree outside the courtyard.
He didn't speak, and Xie Changhui didn't speak either.
The two sat and stood in silence.
I don't know how long it took, Xie Lianzhen suddenly said: "I am like this, am I hateful?" He seemed to be asking Xie Changhui, more like talking to himself, "Obviously I regard her as an interesting object, probing and teasing her, but In front of Jiayan again, he spoke righteously. In fact, what is the difference between me and Jiayan? Jiayan doesn’t like her, so she suppresses her. But I think she is interesting, so I escort her. After all, Jiayan and I They are basically the same people, selfish and selfish, with only themselves in their hearts.”
Xie Changhui remained silent.
"How could there be someone like her in the world?" Xie Lianzhen looked down at the star pendant in his hand, "Father remarried, revenge for kindness, grandparents died, family was ruined, and she was mistreated. Her situation is obviously more embarrassing than mine. , is even more unbearable, but why, she can still be so... radiant? Changhui, am I much, much worse than her?"
"No," Xie Changhui replied without the slightest hesitation, "You are also brilliant."
"Oh," Xie Lianzhen laughed mockingly, "Why do you need to comfort me? Xie Xingshen, Xie Xingshen, she really had the foresight to name me this."
"Young master..."
"I'm such a villain, I can do anything like this." With a slight smile, the light in his eyes was dim and flickering, "No wonder she likes him and doesn't like me."
