C20

Chu Yinan was stunned for a moment and then burst into laughter.

"Hahaha, good, as expected of my son, good! "Let me see what kind of ability Qing'er has. Remember, let me tell you that the Xue Clan does not need to give him face for this year's fair judgement."

"As you command!"

"..."

"I never thought that there would be such a beautiful place in the Northwest region."

Tonight, Chen Zixi felt extremely bored and annoyed. Perhaps it was because the autumn was approaching and he felt a bit pressured. Therefore, he pulled Li Han and Liu Yaner out to take a look around this Huiyang City.

"Tsk, isn't that the scene during the Lantern Festival even more magnificent?"

On that day, during the Lantern Festival, although they had rejected Mo Yunchang's invitation, they had only done so to create an opportunity for Xu Qingzhi and Mo Yunchang. In reality, after Xu Qingzhi had left, the few of them had secretly gone together to that long street.

"Look, look! Is that Xu Hong and Xu Shi?"

The group of youths suddenly noticed Xu Hei Zi and Xu Hong. They didn't expect that the usually noisy two would actually come together tonight.

"Why did the two of them... You entered this pavilion? "

Everyone looked at each other as if they had realized something incredible.

"How about... Let's go and take a look as well? "

Li Han whispered.

"Haha, let's go. I've never been to such a beautiful place before. Let's go, Li Han. What's there to be embarrassed about?" "Liu Yan'er, you …"

Without waiting for a guess, Liu Yan'er already knew what Chen Zixi wanted to say, so she immediately didn't say anything unnecessary. She scattered the bunched up hair and bought a bottle of wine from a restaurant nearby.

As the three of them entered the pavilion, they saw the two people sitting at a table in the lobby. After all, Xu Hei Zi's nickname wasn't for nothing. It was quite eye-catching in the crowd. The three of them did not sit at the same table as Xu Zhen and the others. They found a corner and sat down.

"Did you hear? A young man was poached from Jiangnan in the Ring-Pen Pavilion. He looks like an extremely charming young man."

"Heh, this matter has already been spread. I heard that it's still the young miss from the Venerable family in Jiangnan. She only became a brothel girl because her family had fallen in love with her."

"I also heard about this. He said that his father offended a powerful and noble official of a Martial Kingdom and was bestowed death by the Martial Imperial Princess. Ai, what a pity."

When the three of them heard this, they became curious about this new servant, especially after hearing the phrase 'the noble family of a martial nation'. No wonder they had been lured over by Xu Hong and Xu Zhen.

It was even more difficult to survive in a brothel than in a brothel where the young men were selling their skills and not their bodies. Other than the young men who were selling their bodies, most women became the young women of the brothel later on, since there were too many powerful men who were unreasonable.

The best place for a brothel boy was to redeem himself as a concubine if any of the young masters in his heart took a fancy to him. As for being the main wife, none of these brothel ladies dared to even think about it.

After a long time, a bawdy-looking woman came down from the second floor, smiling in a flattering manner.

"Aiyo, all the guests must be waiting for the little girl. But, after today, we won't be able to see her for as long as we want to. I believe that when the guests see her, they will naturally think that I'm right, what I just said is reasonable. "

After saying so, the old procuress backed off the stage. Under the expectant gazes of the crowd, she slowly walked down from the second floor. She was wearing a long, plain white dress.

Chen Zixi remained motionless for a long time as he held the wine cup. The woman in white dress that entered his sight. Although half of her veil covered her face, just her pair of beautiful eyes alone was enough to captivate him.

Su Xiaoxiao hugged her lute, and under the cover of her long skirt, her bare feet were about to reveal themselves as she gently stepped onto the stairs.

There were chivalrous girls who roamed the martial arts world, heroic ones who were unbeatable, gifted and talented, with an aura like an orchid; there were also flirtatious and seductive women who were extremely flirtatious. However, Chen Zixi had never seen someone as calm and peaceful as this person before him, as if he was a celestial being who had never eaten anything in his life.

"A thousand cheers for the beginning, still covering half of my face."

Chen Zixi murmured. He had been shocked by what he saw.

He saw Su Xiaoxiao ignoring the rest of the people in the hall as she sat on a sandalwood chair on the stage and played with her lute. She raised her eyes to look around at everyone and lowered her head gently, as though she was shy.

Chen Zixi looked at the beauty in front of him. Her white dress was not as bright as the snow, but it gave off a very gentle and warm feeling, as if he could smell the fragrance of the grass under the sunlight. She was just sitting there quietly with the lute in her arms, but she had already attracted the attention of everyone. Chen Zixi tried his best to see more clearly, but he couldn't make it out clearly. He only felt that he was like a celestial being. She just sat there quietly, but Chen Zixi already felt as if he was watching the moon rise into the night sky, and spring water sweeping away the falling flowers.

With just that one glance, Chen Zixi was determined to live the rest of his life.

Su Xiaoxiao's hands stroked the lute in her bosom, her fingertips agilely strumming the zither. Sometimes it sounded like the chirping of a bird in a hollow valley. Sometimes it sounded like a jade falling on a plate. Sometimes it sounded like tears. Sometimes it sounded like a torrential downpour. They were unwilling to part with it.

Chen Zixi stood up when he heard this, and drained the cup of wine in his hand in one gulp. Su Xiaoxiao, who was playing, also saw him. Chen Zixi smiled faintly.

Some people only needed a single glance to be certain that they liked it. Chen Zixi thought this way, but he understood that what he said was more pleasing to the eye than those young masters from aristocratic families. Therefore, Chen Zixi had made up his mind that he would get a good ranking in the fall, study in the Academy, and then pass the examination and the Hall Competition. When his name became known, he would come to this city to redeem his beauty.

In the human world, love and love were always like this. When emotions arose, it was as if mountains and rain were trying to destroy one another. The power could move rivers, overturn seas, move mountains, or even immortals would not be able to defend themselves. Chen Zixi had never been as eager for fame and accomplishment as he was now. The teenager clenched his fists tightly as a resolute look appeared in his eyes.

"I say, Chen Zixi, don't tell me you're stunned."

Xu Zhen looked at Chen Zixi, who was walking at the front, and asked with sincere concern.

"He is probably enchanted by Miss Su. "Haha."

Liu Yan'er seemed to like her current attire very much, and seemed quite at ease with herself.

After the martial law had been lifted, the night in Ye Yang City returned to its previous hustle and bustle. The berserkers at the tavern, the beauties in the brothel, and this youth who was gradually walking further away. The group of teenagers staggered and disappeared at the end of the road. The moonlight was just right, and the cheers were just right.
