Xiang Qin cheered and said excitedly, "Miss Fifth, how long did it take? How long did we take it?"
Ren Yaoqi walked out without stopping, and replied without looking back: "You have to go out and watch the time to find out."
Ren Yijun and Han Yunqian were already waiting not far from the exit of the lantern array. Standing with them were Han You and Ren Yaoting, who had been separated before.
When Ren Yaoqi walked over, he happened to hear Ren Yaoting say: "Third brother, Young Master Han, should we wait at the entrance? The fifth elder sister should not be able to come out."
However, Ren Yijun had already seen Ren Yaoqi, his eyes widened involuntarily, then he looked down at the pocket watch in his hand, and then shouted to Ren Yaoqi in disbelief, "One word for a quarter of an hour."
Everyone turned back and saw Ren Yaoqi walking over.
Ren Yaoqi stopped in front of Ren Yijun, took the pocket watch from him and glanced at it, and breathed a sigh of relief, then turned to Han Yunqian, who was looking at her slightly stunned, smiled and said politely, "Young Master Han, let it go."
Ren Yijun laughed: "Fifth sister, you took a quarter of an hour to go out, and Han Gongzi used a quarter of an hour. You are one word ahead of him! Han Gongzi, you lost!"
Han Yunqian looked at Ren Yaoqi and didn't speak, but Ren Yaoting said suspiciously: "Impossible! How could the fifth elder sister win Young Master Han!"
Ren Yijun retorted unhappily with his eyes wide open: "Why can't the fifth sister win!"
Ren Yaoting opened his mouth and found that everyone was looking at her, his face turned red, and he could no longer speak.
Han Yunqian retracted the gaze fixed on Ren Yaoqi's face, lowered his eyes slightly, and said in a low voice, "I lost."
Ren Yaoqi said humbly: "I was lucky too, and I hit it by mistake."
Ren Yaoting showed Han You an expression of "as expected", and for some reason he felt more comfortable.
However, Han Yunqian knew how small it was possible to get out of the Nine-Bend Dragon Gate Palace Lantern Array just by just relying on luck.
Ren Yaoqi looked around and wondered, "Where is the third sister?"
"Sister Yaohua said that she was a little cold, so she was going to wait for you in the carriage, and it didn't take long." It was Han You who answered Ren Yaoqi.
Ren Yaoqi thought that Ren Yaohua was still angry, thinking that she would be embarrassed and she would simply turn a blind eye.
Thinking of his purpose for entering the battle, Ren Yaoqi turned to look at Han Yunqian: "Master Han, that painting of my father..."
Han Yunqian was silent for a moment, then nodded and said, "Tomorrow I will go to the mansion and ask Uncle Ren San's meaning first. If he has no opinion, I will pass the painting on to you."
Ren Yijun was afraid that the world would not be in chaos: "How about you play Go again?"
Ren Yaoqi glanced at him with a half-smile after hearing the words: "Third brother, do you want me to take the exam for a champion and come back to fight for your face?"
Han You smiled "puchi" from the side. After laughing, he felt a little rude, and hurriedly lowered his head and covered his lips with his sleeves.
If others talk to Ren Yijun like this, he will turn his face. Hearing Ren Yaoqi say this, he coughed lightly and lowered his head to touch his nose.
"Isn't the eighth sister with you?" Ren Yaoqi stopped paying attention to Ren Yijun and turned to talk to Ren Yaoting.
Ren Yaoting was a little careless: "I've been with Sister You all the time, and I haven't seen the Eighth Sister."
"How about we go back and look for her?" Han You asked worriedly.
Ren Yaoting was about to say something, but Han You said again, "Brother, will you accompany us to find sister Yaoyu?" Ren Yaoting stopped talking and turned his eyes to Han Yunqian.
Han Yunqian nodded: "Okay."
However, Ren Yaoting said to Ren Yaoqi and Ren Yijun: "Let's go to find the eighth sister, the third brother and the fifth sister should stay here and wait? So that the eighth sister can't find us when the eighth sister comes. We will be here in an hour. See how?"
Naturally, Ren Yijun didn't want to follow them. He just wanted to ask Ren Yaoqi about the lamp array, but he just said "um".
Ren Yaoqi nodded, and then instructed Xiang Qin: "Go and tell the third sister that I have come out. If she doesn't want to come out, wait for us in the carriage, and I will go to her in half an hour."
Xiang Qin withdrew in response, and Han Yunqian bowed to Ren Yijun and Ren Yaoqi. Ren Yaoqi's eyes met him in mid-air, smiled slightly, and then naturally moved away.
After the three of them left, Ren Yijun couldn't wait to say: "Fifth sister, tell me how you came out of the Jiugong Bagua Lantern?"
Ren Yijun was wearing a heavy fur cloak, but his exposed nose was still red from the cold. Ren Yaoqi thought that walking around would make his body warmer, so he deliberately said coquettishly, "It's okay to tell you, but the third brother wants to Send me a bunny lamp!"
Ren Yijun rolled his eyes: "Just one? I can give you ten or eight."
Ren Yaoqi stretched out his hand to help him put on the hood, which caused Ren Yijun's dissatisfied stares.
Seeing that he wanted to put down his hat, Ren Yaoqi also put on the hat on his cloak, and said, "Let's go over there to buy lights, don't put down the hat, you are so old, you are not afraid to buy rabbit lights. Being laughed at?"
Ren Yijun pouted and said disdainfully, "Who dares to laugh at Lord!" Having said that, he didn't move his hood again.
Ren Yaoqi held back his smile and beckoned him to the side alley next to Guan Gong Temple, where there was a stall selling lanterns. Two old women were left waiting in place.
There are lotus lanterns, peony lanterns, lion lanterns, chrysanthemums, rabbit lanterns...etc. Ren Yaoqi originally just wanted to let Ren Yijun move around and activate his muscles and bones, so he was picking and choosing slowly while talking to him about the lamp array.
The two walked all the way down, and Ren Yijun didn't notice that a childish rabbit lamp was stuffed in his hand, and he took it all the way.
In the end, the people around him all cast friendly and joking glances at him. Ren Yijun's eyes widened and he looked back confidently and fiercely. His gloomy expression successfully scare away the onlookers.
Ren Yaoqi laughed at the side, she never knew that this third brother, who was always gloomy in her eyes in his previous life, still had such a cute and childish side.
Ren Yijun shoved the rabbit lamp in his hand into Ren Yaoqi's hand, turned around angrily and left.
"Third brother, wait..." Ren Yaoqi smiled and chased after him, but Ren Yijun walked quickly and quickly disappeared into the side alley.
Ren Yaoqi handed the rabbit lamp to the woman behind him to hold it, and muttered with a smile, "It's stingy." He followed along while strolling.
When he walked to the exit of the previous light array, Ren Yaoqi suddenly stopped.
She noticed that a carriage was parked in a corner not far from the side. The carriage was parked in the shadow and there was no one around. Only the outline of a carriage could be faintly seen, and even the horse pulling the carriage was standing quietly. There was no movement there, very quiet and unnoticeable at all.
Ren Yaoqi passed by it twice before and didn't notice its existence. Did it stop when she was leaving? But she did not see a carriage passing by on the way.
"Miss Fifth?" The old lady called softly when she saw that she was not leaving.
Ren Yaoqi couldn't help laughing when she came back to her senses, why did she care so much about a carriage.
When he was about to move on, he heard footsteps.
Ren Yaoqi stood on the spot without moving.
This kind of feeling is very magical, as if the whole world is full of hustle and bustle, the laughter and scolding of all beings are in front of you, and it appears in your ears, but you can only notice the slight footsteps. It grabs your whole mind and you can't ignore it.
A tall figure appeared on the opposite side. If Ren Yaoqi didn't feel that she heard footsteps, she would even think that this person appeared in front of her out of thin air.
The ice lantern cast a light and shadow of dazzling colored glass on one side of his body, but it was so dazzling that it was difficult to see clearly.
His whole body was wrapped in a large black cloak, and the fox fur at the collar completely covered his chin. Ren Yaoqi glanced at him, only to feel that this person exuded a very subtle and very attractive His temperament, she couldn't tell what kind of feeling it was, she just felt that she couldn't focus her eyes to see his appearance clearly.
Suddenly, she met a pair of extremely clear, extremely dark, black as jade-like eyes.
Ren Yaoqi felt his heart skip a beat, and when he wanted to see more clearly, his figure had already passed through the light and shadow and entered the shadow beside the carriage.
He stopped beside the carriage, did not get in immediately, and turned his head slightly to look over. Ren Yaoqi seemed to be able to feel that his eyes were on him, so he was a little nervous.
At this time someone lifted the curtain of the carriage for him, and he got into the carriage.
The carriage moved slowly and passed Ren Yaoqi. After the sound of the wheels disappeared, Ren Yaoqi felt that he was finally able to move. And she just seemed to have entered a nightmare.
"Miss Fifth, what's the matter with you?" the old woman asked in a low voice.
Ren Yaoqi shook his head and whispered, "It seems like a ghost presses the bed."
"What did you say, Miss Fifth?" Ren Yaoqi's voice was so low that she didn't hear it.
"Oh, did you see what he looked like just now?" Ren Yaoqi asked.
Several women looked at each other in dismay, and finally shook their heads.
"The slave did not see clearly, the place where the carriage was parked was too dark."
Ren Yaoqi nodded, put the matter aside and moved on to find Ren Yijun.
After finding Ren Yijun, Ren Yaoqi turned his anger into joy by coaxing him to play chess with him.
Ren Yaoqi silently added another note about Ren Yijun in his heart: It's easy to coax when you're angry.
