"The Grim Reaper of the morning and night, carry out the mission of cleansing the soul. Wave your sword and cut off your sins … Oh la la la la …"
Yan Xiaoyi was warming his wine in the hexagonal pavilion while humming a song that he didn't know where it came from. He raised his head and saw a group of people led by Qin Guanyue walk into the courtyard. Their faces didn't look too good, so he had a plan in mind.
"What kind of ghost song is this? It's so awful!" Lu Xian said unhappily.
Yan Xiaoyi said, "Legend has it that a person's sins can only be cut off by a real person. Only then can an evil spirit become a human again. But a real person is really hard to find. Isn't the world full of evil spirits? No wonder there's such a saying as' hell on earth. 'It really complements each other. "
"What nonsense are you talking about!" Lu Xian scolded as he picked up the wine pot and drank by himself. "Little bastard, you don't know how to drink, but you're very diligent in warming your wine!"
He was a person who loved wine as much as his life. No matter how bad the situation was, he had to drink.
Yan Xiaoyi said expressionlessly, "I thought there would be no surprises in winning or losing, but look at you guys who look like losers. You don't have the arrogance of a winner. If I knew that disappointment was inevitable, I wouldn't have gone to order food and wine …"
"Shut up!" Lu Xian hurriedly gave him a look while carefully observing Qin Guanyue's reaction.
Qin Guanyue's expression was naturally very ugly, but he didn't show any signs of anger. He only coldly glanced at Yan Xiaoyi and didn't say anything. He turned around and went back to his room.
"Second Master, what about the imperial banquet?" Lu Xian hurriedly asked.
Qin Guanyue paused and said, "Go! It's just a victory or defeat. Can't we afford to lose? "After saying that, he slammed the door with a bang.
Zhao Bingren had really endured for a long time. At that moment, he couldn't help but say, "Disappointment is inevitable, but why are you hiding here? Why didn't you go to the scene to cheer? Really … "
He had a stomach full of unpleasant words, but when he thought of the relationship between Young Master and Instructor Lu and this person, he couldn't say it. So his handsome face turned red, and after a long time, he finally said, "You're really an expert at hiding!"
Shi Gandang didn't have these scruples. He glared and angrily scolded, "Thief, whose side are you standing on? Second Master is magnanimous and won't bicker with a servant like you, but I can't stand you. Let me warn you, a loose tongue can cause trouble. Don't talk nonsense again, or I'll deal with you! "
Yan Xiaoyi looked at him coldly and said, "Oh oh, could it be that speaking of a fact is the so-called 'gossiping'? What a pitiful person. You don't even have the courage to face the truth. If I were you, I would have dug a hole and buried myself. "
"You …" Shi Gandang was furious.
"Shut up!" Lu Xian's face gradually turned pale. "Isn't it messy enough?"
Shi Gandang only felt indignant. He never liked to endure, so he angrily said, "Instructor Lu, I usually respect you and don't dare to be presumptuous because you are the instructor. But there are some things I really have to say. What kind of magic does this Yan Xiaoyi have to make you and the young master protect him like this? Even if he saved your life, so what? Are we going to let him humiliate us like this? Is he the one fighting, or are we the ones fighting? "
"Have you said enough?" Lu Xian's face suddenly became very scary. Even the warm wine couldn't warm his face up. He slowly put down the wine pot and turned to stare at Shi Gandang.
Shi Gandang's scalp went numb from being stared at. Thinking about some of the punishment methods the other party had, he couldn't help but shiver. He quickly looked at Zhao Bingren, asking for help.
Normally, Zhao Bingren would only look back with a gloating expression, but this time, Shi Gandang had said what was in his heart, so he agreed. At this moment, he didn't care about causing trouble and quickly said, "Instructor, this stinky stone is a bit blunt, but what he said is reasonable. Our brothers are willing to go through fire and water for the Grand Council. There is no reason for our status to be lower than a servant, right?"
Lu Xian looked at him and lightly said, "Don't you know what kind of person I, Lu, am?"
"This …" Zhao Bingren thought back. Other than Yan Xiaoyi, he was very fair to his own people and was not biased toward anyone. However, it was precisely because of this that Yan Xiaoyi was different from the others.
Lu Xian didn't wait for him to answer and said, "When you think you are a level lower than him, you have already developed an inferiority complex. It is you who admit in your hearts that your status is lower than him, and it is not us who define it. Do you understand?"
Zhao Bingren seemed to understand what he meant. Indeed, once you felt in your heart that you were inferior to someone, you were truly inferior because you were your own greatest enemy.
Lu Xian glanced at Shi Gandang and said, "My relationship with Xiaoyi is personal. I admit that I treat him as a younger brother and have been a bit lax toward him, but did he say anything wrong or do anything wrong? Did he destroy anything of yours? Did he violate the rules of the Grand Council? "
"Blunt words! When did I, Lu, punish you for speaking so bluntly? As for Little Yi, he's just a little annoying when he speaks frankly. The difference between him and all of you is that he dares to speak, and it's not because I'm protecting him. I believe that even if I don't protect him, he would still be like that. "
Yan Xiaoyi lowered his head slightly and felt warmth in his heart. He knew that with his status, he could not and should not say such things, but his emotions could not be controlled.
Zhao Bingren and Shi Gandang looked at each other. They both gloomily discovered that Yan Xiaoyi really didn't say or do anything wrong. He just said something that a servant shouldn't say, but Lu Xian admitted that he treated him as a younger brother. Was he a normal servant? He was clearly someone who came through connections.
"Why do I feel that Brother Yan did not have any strength in that last strike?"
Just then, Qin Yiqiu suddenly said.
Everyone was stunned. It turned out that he did not listen to a single word of their argument.
Lu Xian was shocked and said, "It can't be?"
If that was really the case, then Qin Guanyue would not be able to escape the blame. However, they all knew that Qin Guanyue was worried about Qin Yiqiu's safety.
Qin Yiqiu said, "The outcome has been decided. There's no point in saying anything else. Let's just let this matter go. I did not think that I would really lose to Brother Yan … "
Yan Xiaoyi said expressionlessly, "Oh, oh. Young Master, as far as I know, when experts lose to rookies, they will say something like that. It seems like underestimating the enemy is the main reason for their loss."
Although it was the truth, it was said so bluntly. The sarcasm was very strong. If it were any other master, they would definitely be angered to death by this little follower.
However, Qin Yiqiu was also a person who did not know what to do. He blinked his eyes and said innocently, "Isn't that so?"
Zhao Bingren suddenly realized that the Young Master did not care about winning or losing at all. On the other hand, he and Shi Gandang were sulking at the side, worried and upset. It turned out that it was unnecessary. The person involved did not feel anything at all.
He could not help but ask, "Young Master, don't you feel indignant? You only used 30% of your full strength. If you used your full strength from the start, how could the Yan guy have a chance? "
"Ah, that's right. Why didn't I think of that?" Qin Yiqiu said as if he suddenly realized something.
Zhao Bingren was completely defeated by him. He hung his head dejectedly like a rooster that had lost a fight.
"Oh, oh. If the Young Master can think of that, then it's not the Young Master."
"Xiaoyi knows me best. Hahaha …"
Zhao Bingren wanted to cry but had no tears. He finally knew how they got together.
"Are these the food and wine that the masters ordered?"
At this moment, an armored soldier came in with a box of food and asked.
Yan Xiaoyi saw that the food and wine he ordered had arrived and immediately walked out. He handed over the silver that he had prepared and took the box of food. Unexpectedly, his pulse was pricked by something sharp. He instinctively wanted to counterattack, but he felt a round object slip into his sleeve.
Looking at the soldier's expression, there was no flaw. With the slight disgust and impatience that the people of Yongling had towards the people of Xiliang, he took the money and left immediately.
Without batting an eyelid, Yan Xiaoyi returned to the courtyard, set out the food and wine, and ate hastily. Then he returned to the room and took out the round object. It turned out to be a small paper scroll wrapped in a piece of wood.
Opening it, there was only a sword-shaped mark and a few words on it.
Seeing these words, Yan Xiaoyi's face turned extremely pale. His hands holding the paper began to tremble. This pair of hands that had the reputation of being the fastest swordsman in the world could actually tremble. No one would believe it if they said it out loud.
Tok tok tok!
A series of knocks on the door woke him up. He hurriedly held the paper in his hand.
The door was pushed open as soon as the knocks ended. Knocking on the door was just a symbolic gesture. With their relationship, there was no need to be polite.
Lu Xian walked in with a slight smell of alcohol. He said, "It's just a few words, and you're hiding in embarrassment. That's not like you."
Yan Xiaoyi turned around and said with an unnatural expression, "I'm drunk from the smell of alcohol. Just eat. Why do you care about me?"
"Uh …"
Lu Xian burped and said, "I'm worried that you'll find it difficult. After all, I was the one who forcefully invited you into the academy. At that time, I felt that there was really no place in the world better than the Grand Council. There was also no better way to repay your kindness. It's just that I didn't expect you to not be interested in fame and fortune … Perhaps what you're passionate about, we can't give you."
Yan Xiaoyi shook his head and said, "If it weren't for Instructor and Young Master, I would still be homeless and homeless. Perhaps I would have already died in the hands of bandits."
"Eh, is this what you really mean?" Lu Xian looked at him in surprise. "Or are you already drunk and starting to talk nonsense?"
Yan Xiaoyi hurriedly covered it up. "If it weren't for Instructor talking nonsense, would I say it with you?"
"That's more like you." Lu Xian pondered. "However, I still feel that something is missing. Is there something on your mind? Looking at your expression, it doesn't seem like a good thing. Something that can make you unlucky must make me very happy. Tell me and share it. "
"Get lost!" Yan Xiaoyi was furious.
"Haha!" Lu Xian laughed heartily. "I've been teased by you for a long time. Now it's finally my turn. What goes around comes around."
After laughing, he tidied up his clothes and said, "Alright, I'll stop joking with you. We're going back to Xiliang tomorrow. Later, you'll go to the palace and have a good meal with us. Otherwise, this trip will be in vain. At the same time, I'll show you, a country bumpkin, the scenery of the Holy World Palace."
