When we returned to Huating, it was almost one o'clock in the morning.
The volatile mid-July has completely passed.
July 21st.
There are still ten days left before the final exercise.
Li Tianlan did not go back to Sky Academy, but went directly to the Donghuang Palace on the outskirts of the city.
It was windy late at night in Huating, and it seemed that rain was coming. The glass palace, which can be said to be quite outstanding in the entire Huating, was silent in the night, silent and cold. The security guard at the entrance of the East Emperor Palace opened the door, and the Audi slowly drove into the East Palace. Lin Youxian marveled at the huge palace in front of him, which was mostly made of glass.
The palace is exquisite and majestic, and the surrounding artificial lake is clear and charming. Against the background of the night, the light of the glass and the lake water complement each other. It is like a lake rising directly into the sky, or like the palace is built in the water, ethereal and dusty. , completely without any tacky worldliness.
“What a great place.”
Lin Youxian smiled and said, "Is this your hometown?"
"That's right."
Li Tianlan nodded and smiled: "It's just that everything has just started. It looks gorgeous on the outside, but there is actually nothing on the inside."
"Nothing?"
Lin Youxian had a weird smile. He was indeed a very easy-to-get-together person. He was casual and seemed to have no pursuits. Although the journey from Lin'an to Huating was not long, Li Tianlan had already developed some good feelings for him. Such a person with great strength But he is too lazy to steal any limelight. His motto is "brother-in-law" who enjoys enjoying others and others enjoy themselves. Li Tianlan can't help but admire him.
Li Tianlan responded casually, but saw Lin Youxian glanced at Dongcheng Rusuo with a look of gloating on his face.
He glanced at Dongcheng inexplicably.
Dongcheng Ru stood next to Li Tianlan, raising his head and looking at the glass palace in front of him.
Following her gaze, there seemed to be a slim figure standing behind an open window on the top floor of the glass palace.
The moment Li Tianlan saw her, the open window was closed, and then the entire palace was lit up with lights. The lights shone from the inside out and fell on the artificial lake in front of them. The sparkling lake surface was bright and bright. The palace is like a dream.
"Brother-in-law, who is this inside?"
Lin Youxian laughed and said, this brother-in-law's scream was really a joke.
Li Tianlan coughed, as if answering Lin Youxian's question, but his eyes fell on Dongcheng Rusui.
"It's Yuetong."
he said simply.
Wang Yuetong stayed in Huating. She stayed in a hotel for the first two days, and then moved directly to the Donghuang Palace. The little princess who had just changed from a girl to a woman was very clingy. No matter what Li Tianlan was doing some time ago, she would basically stay every once in a while. Everyone would make a call, but since Li Tianlan went to Lin'an, Wang Yuetong has not made a single call, not even a text message.
But she's still here, and that speaks volumes.
Li Tianlan's eyes were quietly warm.
"I know her."
Dongcheng nodded and said softly.
Li Tianlan thought she would continue to say something, but after Dongcheng said these four words, there was no more words. How could such an attitude be vague? There was no attitude at all. Li Tianlan felt dizzy for a while and subconsciously began to imagine the scene of Dongcheng Rushu and Wang Yuetong meeting later.
The palace door opens.
Wang Yuetong stood at the door, bathed in the crystal light. She was wearing a moon-white nightgown, a little lazy and a little charming.
Dongcheng put his little hand into Li Tianlan's hand calmly.
Li Tianlan was a little helpless. He took Dongcheng Rushi's hand and said softly: "Go in."
"I'll just wander around."
Lin Youxian laughed and said in a low voice: "Although I like the excitement, I am not interested in domestic violence scenes. This place is nice. I can wander around casually. Don't worry about me."
Li Tianlan cursed in a low voice, "Domestic violence, your sister," and pulled Dongcheng Ru to the door.
Wang Yuetong stood quietly in front of the door, with mixed emotions in her big eyes, a little uneasy and a little panicked.
Dongcheng calmly looked at the carvings on the marble pillars at the entrance of the palace without saying a word.
"Why haven't you called me in the past few days?"
Li Tianlan said softly: "I thought you had returned to Youzhou."
Wang Yuetong shook her head subconsciously and whispered: "If I go back to Youzhou, will I not be able to see you in the future?"
"how come?"
Li Tianlan shook his head, reached out and touched Wang Yuetong's hair, and said in a warm voice, "Do you know everything about Lin'an?"
Wang Yuetong bit her lip and said nothing.
She is the little princess of the Beihai Wang family, but she can't represent anyone. She can't even say sorry to Li Tianlan.
This position of being obviously uneasy but unable to say anything is the most embarrassing and heaviest.
Li Tianlan sighed and hugged Wang Yuetong in his arms.
He was still holding Dongcheng Rushi's hand.
Or maybe it was because Dong Cheng was holding him like this, but his other hand was holding Wang Yuetong in a weird posture.
Wang Yuetong was silent.
Dongcheng Ru was still studying the carvings written by the master on the pillar next to him.
"Tianlan, don't you blame me?"
Wang Yuetong hugged Li Tianlan tightly and asked anxiously.
She knew what happened in Lin'an almost immediately, and her sweet and happy little thoughts were also cast a shadow. In a few days, Wang Yuetong lived like a year, and now she was held in Li Tianlan's arms, She suddenly felt relaxed.
"What do you blame me for?"
Li Tianlan asked with a smile.
Wang Yuetong hesitated to speak.
The invincible man who severely wounded Mr. Li with a sword in Lin'an was her biological father.
In more than 20 years since the demise of the Li family, the Beihai Wang family has expressed its position towards the remaining Li family for the first time. The contradiction between the two once extremely close families is now so sharp and obvious.
"Things about Lin'an..."
Wang Yuetong hesitated.
"Lin'an's affairs have nothing to do with you."
Li Tianlan said calmly: "That is the choice of the entire Beihai Wang family, Yuetong, I don't blame you, because you can't decide anything. But that doesn't mean that I don't have any thoughts about the Beihai Wang family. In the final analysis, you and I have no idea. There is no right or wrong about who is sorry, but since everyone has different positions and something like Lin'an happened, I will definitely write it down. To be honest, I don't hate the Wang family in Beihai, nor your father, but since he chose to be right If Li takes action, my counterattack will definitely not be peaceful in the future.”
He paused, looked at Wang Yuetong, and continued: "As for you... I thought you would go back to Youzhou without saying a word. If you really go back to Youzhou, I won't blame you. If you are still here, I won’t blame you. You, a woman, can still persist in the confrontation between the Wang family and the Li family in Beihai. As a man, why should I give up? I won’t be without this responsibility, otherwise you You are really blind and have seen the wrong person."
"Really?"
Wang Yuetong raised her head in Li Tianlan's arms, her eyes dim with tears, which showed how much pressure and suffering she had endured in the past few days.
"Of course it's true. You are my woman, and if you don't let me go, I will definitely not let you go either."
Li Tianlan pinched Wang Yuetong's little nose lovingly, gently.
Dongcheng Ru squeezed Li Tianlan's hand very hard.
Li Tianlan's palms ached for a while, and then he remembered the daughter of the Dongcheng family who had been neglecting him.
"Let me introduce."
Li Tianlan said bravely: "This is Dongcheng Rusu, and this is Wang Yuetong. Even if you have never met before, you should have heard of each other."
silence.
There was a numbing silence.
Wang Yuetong lay in Li Tianlan's arms.
Dongcheng Ru grabbed Li Tianlan's hand.
The two of them seemed not to have heard Li Tianlan's words, not even bothering to make the most basic polite remarks.
Li Tianlan subconsciously thought of Qin Weibai.
If she were...
Li Tianlan thought about it and was really not sure what the scene would be like if Qin Weibai was there.
He was suddenly looking forward to that kind of scene.
Li Tianlan stood for a while and saw that the two of them had no intention of talking. He sighed softly and was about to speak.
Dongcheng moved his hands like this.
Wang Yuetong stood up from Li Tianlan's arms and said softly: "I'm going to prepare bath water for you. Please stay with me tonight. I have something to tell you."
A touching blush appeared on her face, and she whispered: "I can do it there."
The corners of Li Tianlan's mouth twitched and he took a deep breath. Before he could speak, Wang Yuetong continued: "There is a document in the study, it's from Sky Academy. You can take a look at it when you have time."
She turned directly and went to the bathroom.
Dongcheng Ru was still looking at the carvings of flowers and plants on the marble pillars quietly.
From the beginning to the end, Dongcheng Rusu and Wang Yuetong seemed to ignore each other, never even looking at each other.
Is this considered jealousy
Wang Yuetong's figure disappeared.
Dongcheng Rusu finally turned his head and looked at Li Tianlan.
The hall light shone on the door.
Her eyes were pure and penetrating.
"Will you stay with me tonight?"
Dongcheng looked at Li Tianlan with burning eyes.
She squeezed Li Tianlan's hand, turned her head, and whispered: "If you accompany me, I can do what I did for you at my sister's house..."
Her voice was low and her face was flushed.
This is the case in Dongcheng.
Wang Yuetong.
One left and one right.
There are temptations on both sides.
Li Tianlan almost collapsed. He forced himself to calm down and said helplessly: "I'm not going anywhere tonight. I'll just meditate in the study."
There are still ten days until the final exercise.
At this time, he really should seriously adjust his condition.
Dongcheng Ru said quietly.
Li Tianlan took her up to the top floor and arranged a bedroom for Dongcheng Rusui next to his own bedroom. The three bedrooms were next to each other, with Li Tianlan in the middle, Dongcheng Rusui and Wang Yuetong on the left and right.
Lin Youxian's bedroom was arranged next to Yu Donglai's.
The old man had been living here and seemed to be meditating at this time, and Li Tianlan did not disturb him.
After doing all this, Li Tianlan went to the study downstairs.
The documents from Sky Academy that Wang Yuetong mentioned were placed in the center of the desk.
It's said to be a document, but it's actually just a letter.
Li Tianlan opened the envelope and read it again, his face expressionless.
He had read this letter a few days ago, but it was not the one for him, but the one for Dongcheng Ruzhi.
In addition to the relatively formal letter, all students who were eligible to receive this letter also received phone calls from the teachers of the two colleges.
Li Tianlan's phone call was made to him personally by Zhuang Huayang, the principal of Sky Academy.
Today is July 21st.
July 23, three o'clock in the afternoon.
The Lord of Kunlun City, Gu Xingyunhui, accompanied by the Grand Elder Gu Qianchuan, came to Huating and had a unified conversation with the top fifty people on the overall credit list of the two colleges.
At that time, all the exercise content, sequence, and rules will be fully announced.
Li Tianlan threw the letter on the table, sat in the chair and closed his eyes.
He didn't meditate.
But sleeping.
Now is the only way to get him to his peak the fastest.
Just sleep.
