I am born a beauty, and I am supreme - Chapter 102
He later recalled the sweet moments between the two of them many times.
This only highlighted his solitary nature, making his impetuous actions all the more laughable.
In an instant, a long-lost heartache, confusion, bitterness, regret, reminiscence, and all sorts of inexplicable negative emotions surged forth uncontrollably.
He stood there, wanting to close his eyes and not see any of this.
But how do you get rid of those images in your mind when you close your eyes?
In an instant, my eyes welled up with tears.
Yeah, this chapter made me want to cry...
Dragon and Tiger Fight in the Capital Chapter 120: Shopping
Tang Leyan looked at the person in front of her.
That face, which usually remained impassive of joy or sorrow, now wore such a strange expression.
He had red eyes, as if he was about to cry, yet there was also a hint of sadness in them. It was as if he were walking alone in the bitter wind and rain, feeling desolate, lonely, and indifferent. It made her heart pound. She wanted to reach out and help him, but she was afraid of startling him even more. For a moment, this clever and quick-witted person dared not make any rash moves.
For a moment, the two sides were locked in a stalemate.
Le Yan wanted to take a step forward, but dared not. She could only look at the short distance between them, along with the faint heartache rising in her heart.
Suddenly, she realized something and vaguely understood what he was thinking at the same time, and why his expression was so unusual.
She stood facing the wind, gazing at him.
He could not move an inch in an instant.
But in this clear and quiet moment, a voice laughed from the side: "Ha, ha, I didn't expect to meet you, sir, and... Brother Le here."
Beitang Yujian had actually been there for quite a while.
From the moment I saw the two people holding hands.
His eyes just wouldn't look away.
Given his carefree personality, he would have rushed up to greet them on the spot, but for some reason, he felt that going up at this moment seemed a little inappropriate.
He had always been a carefree and uninhibited person, but suddenly he had the thought of thinking about others. Beitang Yujian felt that he was growing up very fast in the martial arts world.
What progress! A truly remarkable leap forward. If he were to return to Sword Pavilion one day, those people there would likely look at him with newfound respect.
Thinking about this, I couldn't help but secretly chuckle with smug satisfaction.
It wasn't until he saw Chu Zhen withdraw his hand that Beitang Yujian felt a strange sensation in his heart.
Huh? How could that calm and aloof adult...
Does it look that strange?
Meanwhile, the one in red, who was originally very arrogant, was now standing there with his hands tied behind his back, completely helpless, which left Beitang Yujian speechless.
He watched for a while, but ultimately couldn't bear to watch any longer.
Friends, by definition, are there to help you out of trouble.
This is his second major improvement in Beitang Yujian.
Beitang Yujian drew his sword and stepped forward.
Tang Leyan turned around upon hearing the sound.
"Brother Beitang, what brings you here all of a sudden?" she asked in surprise. Her expression was ambiguous, whether it was feigned or not.
Beitang Yujian thought to himself: Hmm, out of all the people in Shundu, only the two of you are the most eye-catching. How could I not see you?
If I hadn't shown up, would you two have turned into stones right here?
"This young master... was just passing by," he said, reaching out to touch his chin habitually before turning his head to look in the other direction.
Chu Zhen narrowed her eyes and looked at him: "So it's Young Master Beitang." She nodded.
His complexion has returned to normal.
Seeing the sword of Beitang Yujian, he was surprised.
He truly is an "adult." Unlike us ordinary mortals, he can return to normal in an instant.
"Greetings, sir," Beitang Yujian bowed slightly, "I never expected to meet you here with..." He looked at Tang Leyan.
Le Yan laughed heartily and patted his shoulder: "It's better to meet by chance than to invite someone. Brother Beitang, there's a market up ahead, how about we go for a stroll together?"
Beitang Yujian hummed in agreement: "Hmm. Since Brother Le is so interested, this young master has no choice but to... Where is the master?" He then turned to look at Chu Zhen.
"You guys go have fun, I'll head back first," Chu Zhen said calmly.
Tang Leyan frowned, stepped forward, and stopped her, saying, "No."
Beitang Yujian reached out and brushed his hair aside, but his eyes were fixed on him: Is it about to start again?
Chu Zhen remained silent.
Tang Leyan coughed softly: "It's too dangerous for you to go back alone."
Chu Zhen said, "It's alright, it's broad daylight..."
“This…” Tang Leyan hesitated for a moment, then suddenly smiled and said, “Then why don’t I take Uncle Zhen back first?”
"No."
"I'm worried."
"Leyan".
"You only have these two choices: do you want to go out and have fun together, or should I take you home first?" she said finally.
Upon hearing this, and seeing her eager expression, Chu Zhen thought for a moment and reluctantly agreed, "Fine, I'll go with you. But not for too long."
Tang Leyan smiled and said, "Okay, okay."
The two walked forward side by side, with Beitang Yujian bowing his head beside them. He whispered in her ear, "Brother Le's tactic of feigning indifference was really effective; he managed to get the master to compromise."
Tang Leyan turned to look at him: "Hmm, it's not as good as the timing of Brother Beitang's appearance."
Beitang Yujian turned to look at her and chuckled awkwardly. He knew that she had seen him spying all along, but he didn't know when she had noticed. At the time, he clearly saw her standing there, her eyes only on Chu Zhen, not looking around. He thought she had forgotten everything else. Hmm, she really is a strange person.
This group of people was very eye-catching, and of course, very pleasing to the eye.
A handsome young man in flowing red robes, holding a small sandalwood fan, smiled charmingly, occasionally picking up and playing with items from a roadside stall while asking the opinions of those around him. The person he consulted was a refined and aloof young man, with excellent features and an otherworldly air, only slightly flawed by his coldness, almost making people hesitant to approach. Beside them stood a dashing, unconventional swordsman with thick eyebrows and large eyes, carrying a massive sword on his back, clearly of extraordinary status. For the past ten years or so, Chu Zhen had lived a secluded life, even when venturing out for social occasions, always by sedan chair or horseback, rarely setting foot in such bustling places. Therefore, the common people did not recognize that this jade-like handsome young man before them was actually Chu Zhen, the Grand Councilor of the Military Affairs Department in Shundu, second only to the Emperor.
Tang Leyan was in high spirits and curious about everything she saw, especially eager to see Chu Zhenkai. So she deliberately brought out some strange things and asked him all sorts of questions.
However, she rarely carried any silver. If she really encountered a little trinket that she couldn't put down, she would ask Chu Zhen for money. Chu Zhen blushed. It turned out that he had been pampered since childhood and later held a high position. He was used to being bossy and domineering. Over the years, he had developed a habit of never carrying money or valuables when he went out. This was because he rarely ate out or stayed in hotels. Wherever he went, someone would arrange for him to be served in advance. He would never lack anything he needed for his daily life, so why would he need things like gold and silver?
Seeing his blush, Tang Leyan smiled slightly, turned her head, and winked at Beitang Yujian: "Brother Beitang, it's your turn to step forward."
Beitang Yujian, who had been ignored for a while and was enjoying himself by looking at the clay doll next to him, only turned around when he heard Tang Leyan calling him: "How is it?"
"Take the money..." Tang Leyan reached out her hand.
"Oh dear... money..." Beitang Yujian took two steps back, then casually tossed his hair and said simply, "No."
"Really not?" Tang Leyan took a step forward and stared at him intently.
"I'll give you my life, but I have no money..." Beitang Yujian replied with great integrity.
"A man who goes out without money, you are a disgrace to men..." Tang Leyan looked at him with disappointment.
"Hey!" Beitang Yujian waved his hand in front of his eyes. "Your words have a very broad scope!"
Tang Leyan tilted her head back: "I'm specifically referring to you..."
“I’m so unlucky…” Beitang Yujian covered his forehead with his hand and shook his head, saying, “I feel deeply… that I’m being discriminated against…”
"Hmph!" Tang Leyan turned around, put down the two dolls in her hands, and said, "I don't want them anymore." She pouted and walked away.
Beitang Yujian smiled and followed behind. Chu Zhen watched her figure, and although he had already taken a step, he stopped, lowered his eyelids, and pondered for a moment.
Le Yan stopped after walking for a while, then suddenly turned around to look, but Chu Zhen was nowhere to be seen.
He hurriedly pushed through the crowd to search, only to find the person walking out of the crowd with his hands behind his back, unhurriedly.
Le Yan stomped her foot and ran over: "Where did you go?"
Chu Zhen smiled and said, "It's nothing, I just looked at some things."
Beitang Yujian watched him from the side, seemingly lost in thought, and then suddenly smiled and said, "Brother Le, if there's nothing to see, let's go back."
"Hmph." Le Yan glanced at him sideways.
Just then, they heard a commotion coming from afar. The three people looked at each other and walked forward.
Upon exiting the street, a group of people could be seen approaching from afar on the main road of Shundu.
The carriage moved forward slowly, as if weary from a long journey. The rider on horseback was a man in a white robe with a sword at his waist and a white sable fur hat on his head. His neck was also wrapped tightly, as if he were very afraid of the cold. He was quite handsome, with a bright and spirited look, but there was a slight hint of frivolity in his eyes. The attendants who followed him were dressed differently and all had a different temperament from Shundu.
Chu Zhen frowned upon seeing the group and couldn't help but remark, "They're here so fast..."
Dragon and Tiger Fight in the Capital Chapter 121 White Hat
The group of people slowly passed by on Tongcheng Avenue. Among them, one person stood out the most. He wore a white mink hat and a mink scarf around his neck. He had long arms, a narrow waist, long legs, and broad shoulders. However, when he looked around, there was a hint of frivolity in his handsome eyes.
Tang Leyan's gaze shifted to the long sword at his waist. On the hilt, there was a faint peach blossom-shaped mark. She was slightly taken aback, but she already knew what was going on.
Hearing Chu Zhen's voice from the side, he still turned around and asked, "Uncle Zhen, what are these people doing here?"
Chu Zhen glanced at her and said calmly, "It's Daning's envoy."
Tang Leyan asked, "Why are people from Danning Kingdom coming?" She was naturally intelligent and had a photographic memory since childhood. Upon hearing Chu Zhen's words, all the things she had experienced before that were related to Danning immediately came to mind, and she understood a few things in an instant. "Could it be..." she hesitated.
Chu Zhen glanced at her and saw a knowing look on her face, so she didn't explain further.
"So cool, so stylish, so awesome." Beitang Yujian shook his head and sighed.
Tang Leyan turned her head and asked with a smile, "Brother Beitang, do you really think so?"
Beitang Yujian reached out and brushed a strand of hair aside: "Of course."
"Ha...haha." Tang Leyan laughed.
Beitang Yujian glanced back at her and laughed, "However, this young master is more arrogant, more stylish, and more awesome than him."
"Yes, you're right, I think so too." Tang Leyan nodded in agreement, more than ever before, and then whispered, "However, I'm really looking forward to the battle between the Sword Pavilion's young master and the successor of Little Peach Blossom Spring. When is it? Should Brother Beitang and this white-hatted brother arrange a time to talk?"
Upon hearing her words, Beitang Yujian exclaimed, "Ha, ha, you really are the kind of person who thrives on chaos."
