Four people and two boats, floating on the lake. It was a beautiful thing. Unfortunately, Tang Xiaotang and Sangsang were in the same boat, so Chen Pipi had to take the same ticket as Ning Que.
The boat was faintly discernible in the lotus field. Tang Xiaotang and Sangsang were happily talking about something with some small things in their hands. Chen Pipi looked ahead and thought that it was such a pity that he couldn't get close to Xiaotang after he saved her from the clutches of his Third Senior Sister.
"What are they talking about?" Chen Pipi asked.
Ning Que said, "A few days ago, I made some small things with willow branches for Sangsang. I haven't made them for many years, but she still likes them very much. She must show them to her friends."
Chen Pipi was slightly startled. He looked back at Ning Que beside the oar and said, "I didn't know that you are a guy who knows how to please girls."
Ning Que sneered, "Do you think everyone is worse than a beast like you? It's been so many days. Haven't you got the girl yet? "
Chen Pipi lowered his head in shame and rubbed his hands nervously. He said, "Don't talk nonsense."
Ning Que shook his head helplessly and said, "I can't tell that you are so thin-skinned just by looking at your fat face."
Chen Pipi refuted with a lack of confidence, "That's because the girl is thin-skinned."
The boat sailed into the depths of the lotus field. The traces left by the iron kettle by the thunder and lightning had long disappeared. The green branches and round leaves covered the sky, which was very quiet.
Sangsang and Tang Xiaotang's boat rowed to an unknown place.
Ning Que put down the oar and walked into the canopy. He handed a pot of wine to Chen Pipi and whispered, "Have you thought it through?"
Chen Pipi took the wine pot and carefully took a sip. Then he frowned because of the spiciness. After a long silence, he said, "How can I think about this kind of thing?"
"But you should know who you are."
Ning Que said calmly, "Although you still refuse to tell me, and I still don't know whether you are the son of the Hierarch Lord or the Abbey Dean, you are the pride and future of Haotian Taoism. Although the Headmaster has raised you for so many years, you will eventually go back."
Chen Pipi looked at the lotus field outside the boat and said blankly, "Probably."
Ning Que said, "Tang Xiaotang is from the Devil's Doctrine."
Chen Pipi said in a low voice, "Then what do you think we should do?"
"Do your own things and think for yourself."
Ning Que said, "I'm just reminding you that if you really want to return to Haotian Taoism, neither the West-Hill Divine Palace nor the Zhishou Abbey will allow you to marry Tang Xiaotang."
Chen Pipi looked up at him and asked, "Why did you choose Sangsang instead of the Calligraphy Addict?"
"That is a different kind of pain from what you are facing now."
Ning Que said bluntly, "No matter what I choose, I will at most be laughed at and despised by others, or hurt the girl. But if you make the wrong choice, or if your determination is not strong enough, you will definitely face more than these, and Tang Xiaotang will be even more miserable."
Chen Pipi frowned again. His round face, which was usually carefree and cheerful, showed a rare solemn expression, which eventually turned into endless sorrow.
"It's going to rain."
He frowned and drank all the liquor in the pot as if he was drinking poison. He said with a lisp, "I'll take her back to the Academy first."
Ning Que stuck his head out of the canopy and saw the clear blue sky above the lotus field. There were no clouds in the sky, and it did not look like it was going to rain.
Chen Pipi stroked his chest and said faintly, "It's raining here … It's all your fault. It's rare for you to come out and play, but you have to mention these things that make people feel bad."
…
…
The sky was clear and there was no rain. Chen Pipi, a fat young man who had always been optimistic, felt a cold rain falling in his heart. Gradually, his heart felt like it was going to be moldy.
Ning Que sympathized with his Senior Brother very much. After sending him and Tang Xiaotang off, he sat by the window of the study and could not help but feel sad when he thought of what Chen Pipi had said on the boat.
At this moment, a wind blew from the south bank of Yanming Lake, rustling the lotus leaves in the lake and ruffling the long willows on the lake bank. The wind went around the thick trunk of the ancient tree and poured into the study.
Sangsang sat in the chair, holding a cup of herbal tea in her hand. She squinted at the lake wind that came from outside the window and said, "It looks like it's really going to rain."
As soon as the little handmaiden finished her words, the sound of rain suddenly sounded.
The pitter-patter of rain fell from the sky, slowly and firmly washing away the summer heat in the woods of the house. It did not take long for the courtyard to be completely wet.
"I didn't expect it to really rain."
Ning Que took the cup of tea from her hand and drank it, moistening his throat that was a little dry because of worrying about his friend.
Then he looked at the empty cup and asked, "What did Tang Xiaotang say?"
Sangsang hugged her thin legs and put her chin on her knees. She seriously recalled the conversation on the boat in the depths of the lotus field and said, "Tang Tang said that she was a little muddle-headed."
Ning Que was slightly stunned and asked, "That's it?"
Sangsang said, "She said that she had to ask her brother's opinion on this matter."
Ning Que thought of the powerhouse from the Devil's Doctrine who wore a leather coat and was as terrifying as a rock. He suddenly felt that the lake wind outside the window was a little cold and suddenly felt more sympathy for Chen Pipi.
The rain in the courtyard became heavier and heavier, and the summer heat was quickly washed away. The rainwater on the lawn also accumulated more and more, converging into several thin streams that flowed towards Yanming Lake.
"Thousands of rivers flow into the sea, it's natural."
Ning Que said with emotion.
Sangsang raised her head and gave him a puzzled look, not understanding what he was talking about.
"What I want to say is that there are some things that we can only passively worry about, but we can't do anything about it. We can only silently watch it develop, and at most give our blessings."
Ning Que looked at the heavy rain outside the window and said, "It's like the sky is going to rain, and the young lady is going to get married."
Sangsang thought about it and hugged her legs tighter.
There was silence in the courtyard. There was no sound, only the sound of rain.
At this moment, there was a sudden loud knock on the front door of the house.
"I told you to say it's going to rain, and now it's really going to rain."
"Did you not bring an umbrella?"
"This is a guest from Haotian. You two can sleep here tonight, but don't expect me to lend you an umbrella."
"Sangsang and I have set a strict rule since we were young. We can borrow people and lives, but we can't borrow two things."
"You can't borrow money, and you can't borrow an umbrella!"
The knocking in the front yard became louder and more urgent. It was obvious that the guy was not happy with the heavy rain, and he wanted to express his strong dissatisfaction by knocking.
Ning Que was too lazy to care. He still imitated the Eldest Brother and walked slowly to the door, and kept nagging to make fun of the guy.
"You want to say why you can't borrow an umbrella? Hey, this is a very long story, and I don't know if you are interested to hear it. You shouldn't have left just now … Oh, my god, why is it you!"
…
…
Ning Que's voice stopped abruptly when he pushed open the courtyard door. He looked outside with his mouth open, and his hands were still holding the heavy courtyard door. He was so stiff that he looked like he had been struck by lightning.
He really felt like he had been struck by lightning at this time.
It was not Chen Pipi and Tang Xiaotang outside the house.
It was a young Taoist girl in a blue Taoist robe.
The young Taoist girl was soaked by the heavy rain. Her wide blue Taoist robe was wet, and her messy and sticky hair was on her forehead. She looked very embarrassed.
She was holding a horsetail whisk in her hand, and the tail of the whisk was on her left arm, dripping water.
No matter how one looked at it, being drenched was a very embarrassing scene. Therefore, the girl's eyes were no longer as cold and proud as before, but with a bit of anger and shame.
But in fact, she did not look embarrassed at all. Her eyebrows were still so beautiful. No matter how the rain fell on her pale cheeks, no matter how angry her eyes were, she was still beautiful.
Because she was recognized as one of the three most beautiful girls in the world.
Ning Que pushed open the courtyard door and saw a beautiful girl in the heavy rain. Her cheeks were pale, and her hair was slightly messy. She looked timid and pitiful. Ning Que suddenly thought of many beautiful stories in Strange Stories, and then remembered a song that kept repeating "You are so beautiful".
Ning Que believed that the beautiful Taoist girl outside the door was definitely more powerful than those vixens in Strange Stories. He also believed that she was more beautiful than those vixens.
But he was not tempted.
Because he did not want to court death.
He did not even want to see her at all.
Even though his cultivation state was much stronger now, he still did not want to see her.
Therefore, his first reaction was to close the door.
However, just as he was about to close the two heavy courtyard doors with all his strength, he found that the doors were many times heavier than before.
Because the Taoist girl in the rain stretched out a palm and placed it in the gap of the door.
Ning Que did not dare to think about how much blood he would lose under her Taoist Sword if he clamped her hand and made it bleed. But he still did not stop closing the door.
Just as the two heavy courtyard doors were about to clamp the Taoist girl's palm.
A faint light suddenly appeared on the tiny hand that was dripping with rainwater.
There was a sudden gust of wind at the courtyard door, and the heavy rain falling on the courtyard from the air suddenly stopped.
An indifferent and powerful aura gushed out from that palm, instantly evaporating the rainwater and an extremely small green leaf on the surface of the palm. Then, it shattered everything it touched.
There was a dull and loud sound at the courtyard door.
The people in the distant Chang 'an city who were sheltering from the rain under the eaves looked curiously at the Yanming Lake where the sound came from. They wondered if the loud thunder had killed anyone.
…
…
No one died.
But the two doors were destroyed.
Ning Que looked at the big gap in the courtyard door and wanted to cry but had no tears.
The splinters of the courtyard door splashed all over his body, and even his face was covered with splinters. He looked very pitiful under the washing of the rain.
Looking at the fresh fragrant wood stubble gradually turning from white to gray in the rain, he thought of the money he had spent on the two courtyard doors. His expression became extremely painful.
He looked up at the beautiful Taoist girl in the rain and trembled with heartache. He shouted angrily, "Ye Hongyu, you must pay for my door!"
