The entire world, at this moment, completely quietened down, as if time had stopped. Only the gentle breeze by the River of Trust continued to blow gently.
At the same time, an absolutely beautiful face appeared in front of the youth's eyes.
In the ancient times, there were beauties that outshone the moon and put the flowers to shame, and fishes and geese to sink. The Yun Qingwu in front of him, didn't lose out in the slightest. Curved eyebrows, bright eyes, skin like ice and snow, lips slightly red, like the most breathtaking stroke in the vast expanse of white snow.
But, at this moment, this absolutely beautiful face, was in a completely dazed state. Her soft pink lips slightly opened, her bright eyes filled with complete disbelief.
Not only was Yun Qingwu in disbelief, the maids behind her also opened their mouths wide, their eyes round as they stared at the youth in front of them, unable to react at all.
Too fast!
In the blink of an eye, the veil on Yun Qingwu's face was already in the youth's hands. It felt as if that veil had never left the youth's hands at all.
Below the stage, even Yan Xiu's frosty expression became extremely interesting at this moment. His thin lips opened and closed, closed and opened again, a look of disbelief flowing in his eyes.
The most exaggerated was Meng Yushu. Both his eyes were round, one of his fists instinctively stuffed into his mouth, causing his cheeks to turn bright red, yet he didn't feel it at all.
The expressions of the scholars, who originally revealed mocking expressions below the stage, at this moment, also completely froze.
Silence, nobody made a single sound.
Because …
The situation in front of them, was really too hard to imagine.
"Yes, not bad! "The Reeds and Rushes... attracting a virtuous person, yet unable to obtain him? Looks like lady has something on her mind! "The youth gazed at Yun Qingwu and sighed mysteriously.
Then, he turned and walked down the stage, directly arriving beside Yan Xiu, picking up the hundred silver note beside Yan Xiu's hand, caressing it, revealing a dazzling smile.
"Everyone has seen, I have already removed the veil, this silver note is naturally mine!" When the youth finished, he stuffed the hundred silver note into his pocket, then strolled off into the distance, completely satisfied …
"Yun Qingwu's … veil has been removed?!"
"Just like that?"
"Too beautiful! One glance can topple a city, another glance can topple a country! "
"Wait a minute … did he just say banknotes?!"
Even though the candidates were shocked by the scene in front of them, but when they saw Yun Qingwu's beautiful face, they were completely mesmerized. After some time, someone finally reacted.
"Catch him!"
"Quick, catch that lecher!"
After the amazement, what exploded was a towering rage. At this moment, the hearts of the scholars had already been completely ignited, and no one cared about the rules of the Hundred Flower Gathering.
He actually dared to commit such an immoral act in broad daylight, in the midst of a peaceful world.
Moreover, it was a blasphemy against the purest goddess in their hearts. This was simply intolerable.
"Where is he?"
"Where did he go?"
The scholars searched everywhere, but unfortunately, the youth had already disappeared without a trace. There wasn't even a shadow left at the Hundred Flower Gathering.
"You want to attract a virtuous person, yet you can't get him?" Yun Qingwu also regained her senses at this moment, gazing at the direction that the youth had disappeared in. Her lips opened slightly, and it was unknown whether it was because she was extremely furious, or because she had thought of something, but a faint smile actually appeared on her face.
This scene instantly caused the enraged scholars to stare in a daze. It was truly a smile that could cause a hundred beauties to appear, causing the beauties of the six palaces to pale in comparison.
"Pack up, let's go!" The smile on Yun Qingwu's face disappeared in a flash, but she didn't use the veil to cover her face. Instead, with a calm expression, she slowly walked towards the pleasure boat by the riverside.
"Yes, miss!"
…
Following Yun Qingwu's departure, the Hundred Flower Gathering came to an end, leaving behind a group of scholars rubbing their fists and palms, swearing to find that lecher and make him pay for Yun Qingwu's humiliation today.
"Good kid, I, Meng Yushu, will definitely not let you off!" Meng Yushu rubbed his somewhat painful face, tightly gripping his sword, a cold glint flickering in his eyes.
On the other hand, Yan Xiu's figure had already disappeared, as if he had vanished into thin air.
…
Within the pleasure boat, Yun Qingwu silently sat on a chair made of red sandalwood. In front of her was a red table, and in front of the table was a zither. Beside the zither, a bronze beast-shaped incense burner emitted a faint floral fragrance.
"Miss, there's something I don't understand!" Standing beside Yun Qingwu, a maid dressed in a golden dress looked at Yun Qingwu and said softly.
"You want to ask me why I didn't dodge just now?"
"Yes, with miss's state, if you didn't want to … who would be able to remove your veil?"
"What if I said I dodged?"
"This … he looks like he's only fifteen or sixteen years old?"
"Yes, he's only fifteen or sixteen years old!"
The maid didn't speak anymore, but her expression was filled with incomparable fear. Yun Qingwu similarly didn't speak, her bright eyes quietly watching the ripples on the surface of the river.
…
Within the Huai An County, in an alley a hundred metres away from the West city gate.
A youth dressed in a coarse blue robe was blocked by a youth dressed in luxurious clothes. And behind the youth dressed in luxurious clothes, was a person riding on a Three-eyed Scarlet Flame Tiger? The bearded burly man.
"Robbery?" The youth looked at the person behind the youth dressed in luxurious clothes. The bearded burly man and the Three-eyed Scarlet Flame Tiger that the burly man was sitting on had a faint smile on their faces, their expressions calm.
"No!" The youth dressed in luxurious clothes shook his head.
"Then, can you let me pass?" The youth continued to ask very patiently.
"No!" The youth dressed in luxurious clothes was also very patient.
The youth didn't speak again, and only quietly looked at the two people in front of him. A trace of a smile still hung on the corners of his mouth, and he just stood there like that.
"Yan Xiu!" The youth dressed in luxurious clothes waited for a while, then finally spoke again.
"Fang Zhengzhi!" When the youth heard Yan Xiu speak, the smile on the corners of his mouth disappeared for the first time, and seemed somewhat serious.
"I'm not good at communicating, but, I'm somewhat curious about you." When Yan Xiu finished this sentence, it seemed somewhat difficult, as if this was the first time he had said so many words in one breath.
"Unfortunately, I'm not interested in men." Fang Zhengzhi twitched his mouth.
Being blocked by an unfamiliar youth, and then shouting that he was very curious about him, no matter how he looked at it, this didn't seem very normal. Perhaps, this person called Yan Xiu in front of him was really as he said, not good at communicating.
Yan Xiu's expression changed, as if he was somewhat sad because of Fang Zhengzhi's words. This was the first time he took the initiative to communicate with a stranger, but was rejected.
Give up?
This thought flashed past in a flash. Because, in Yan Xiu's dictionary, the word "give up" didn't exist.
Then, he remembered what his grandfather had told him before he left. When interacting with people, especially when interacting with them for the first time, he should be more sincere.
"I can give you some money!" Yan Xiu thought of Fang Zhengzhi's bright smile when he received the hundred silver notes, and felt that perhaps he could express his sincerity a little more.
The one following behind Yan Xiu? The bearded burly man's expression changed. Looking at Yan Xiu, his expression became extremely awkward. He felt that this young master of his family was really going to hit a wall today.
Because, if such words were said, any scholar would probably slap the table and stand up.
"Alright, then can you treat me to a meal first?" When Fang Zhengzhi heard this, without even thinking, he readily agreed.
"Sure!" Yan Xiu nodded.
"Then let's go!" Since someone treated him to a meal, Fang Zhengzhi also became more enthusiastic, and quickly walked in front of Yan Xiu. Then, the two of them, shoulder to shoulder, walked out of the alley.
