Chapter 131

On the other side of the lake, Annam Tien stood on the shore with his hands behind his back, looking at the shrine leisurely. Because of the mist, he could only vaguely see the figures on the other side. It was like he was in a fairyland, like he was in a dream.

Zhan Ning 'er sat next to him, holding a fishing rod and fishing. The bobber kept shaking violently, but her eyes were fixed on the water, as if she did not see the movement of the bobber at all.

Annam Tien sighed softly and sighed, "Life is hard to predict. Who would have thought that a group of people, including the first and second elders of the Gu God Sect, as well as the Chieftain of the secular world, the famous Yang Tian Wang, would end up in the hands of this brat. "

Zhan Ning 'er bit her lips and ignored him.

Annam Tien secretly glanced at her and continued to sigh, "Unfortunately, Venerable can't get married. It took me a lot of effort to find out that due to Ye Xiaotian's insistence, the Eight Grand Elders took a step back and allowed him to marry a wife. However, he could only marry for twenty years. Unfortunately, only twenty years … "

Zhan Ning 'er still bit her lips and did not speak. She thought in her heart, As long as I can live happily, twenty years of marriage is better than the rest of my life …

Annam Tien continued to shake his head and continued to sigh, "At least we've known each other for a while, and now he's going to leave. Hmm … and he's going to find a wife under the guise of traveling the world. Aren't you going to say goodbye to him?"

Zhan Ning 'er suddenly jumped up like a cheetah and whipped her leg in the air.

"Ah!"

Annam Tien screamed and fell into the lake. The fishing rod was lying quietly on the shore. It was not dragged away by the fish because the fish had already left the hook.

Annam Tien actually knew how to swim, and he was a good swimmer. He swam to the shore and climbed up awkwardly. He said to Zhan Ning 'er angrily, "You bullied me again, why did you kick me?"

Zhan Ning 'er said coldly, "Who told you to laugh at me in your heart?"

Annam Tien cried out in grievance, "When did I laugh at you in my heart?"

Zhan Ning 'er sneered. She lifted her heel lightly and tapped the ground with the tip of her foot, eager to try. "You dare to say no?"

An Nantian obediently shut his mouth, not even daring to let out a fart.

Zhan Ning'er snorted coldly. She picked up the fishing rod and sat back on the stool to continue fishing. An Nantian squeezed the water off his clothes and glanced at her. He couldn't help but say, "If you want to say goodbye, go. Don't be so wishy-washy. What's the use of you standing here like a bullied wife? Look at your bait. It's been eaten up by the fish. What fish can you catch? "

Look at your bait, it has been eaten by the fish. What fish can you catch? "

Zhan Ning 'er whipped her leg again. She stared at Annam Tien with her almond-shaped eyes and said word by word, "I want to!"

Annam Tien climbed out of the water again and said angrily, "That's enough! Zhan Ning 'er, if you dare to kick me again, I will be angry. I change my face faster than flipping a book. Once I become angry, even I am afraid of myself. "

Zhan Ning 'er did not speak. Annam Tien, who was ready to fall into the water for the third time, suddenly said proudly, "Ah! It seems that my cousin is actually a little afraid of me. With my harsh words, she doesn't dare to attack. "

Annam Tien wiped the water off his face and looked at Zhan Ning 'er. He saw that she was staring at the lake with her eyes wide open. She had an expression of disbelief. It was hard to tell whether it was surprise, shyness, or excitement. An Nantian subconsciously turned his head. Only then did he realize that he had expressed the wrong feelings. Zhan Ning 'er was not afraid of his harsh words, but her lover was coming over on the waves.

Ye Xiaotian stood in front of the bamboo raft. He was dressed in white and floated like an immortal. The wind fluttered his clothes. The bamboo raft swayed the blue waves, and the white waves rolled on the top of the raft. From this side of the lake, it looked like Ye Xiaotian was standing on the top of the waves.

Annam Tien saw this and couldn't help but secretly praise, "Clothes make the man and Buddha makes the gold. Dressed like this, he really looks like an elegant young master."

Annam Tien thought and unconsciously said it. Zhan Ning 'er, who knew his hobby, coldly glanced at him and said, "If you dare to have any ideas on him, I will castrate you!"

Annam Tien heard this and felt very sad. When he was young, even if there was only a stick of tanghulu, he would let his cousin eat it first. But his cousin was not willing to let him taste her man first. Even though he had never thought of eating the grass near the nest, but his cousin was just being polite and letting him have it was good.

Annam Tien noticed that his cousin unnaturally brushed the hair on her temples and secretly pulled on her clothes. Her chest was puffed out and he felt even more upset, "Ai, girls are extroverted, the ancients were not deceiving me!"

While An Nantian was feeling sorry for himself, the bamboo raft had already sailed to the edge of the lake like an arrow and stopped there steadily. The Venerable was on the raft, and the raft rower was so excited that his whole body was full of energy. This time, he had used all his skills.

Once the bamboo raft stopped, Ye Xiaotian jumped onto the shore. Just now he saw Annam Tien fall into the water. He guessed that he was quarreling with his cousin again. He didn't want to let Annam Tien know that he saw him in a sorry state, so he pretended to be surprised and said, "Ah! Brother Nantian, what happened to your face? "

Annam Tien calmly wrung out the water and smiled, "Ah! Just now my cousin caught a big fish and I went forward to help her walk the fish. In the end, I accidentally fell into the lake. "

Ye Xiaotian 'suddenly understood' and said, "So that's how it is. That fish must be big, can I take a look?"

Annam Tien regretfully said, "What a pity, it got off the hook."

After the two of them talked nonsense, Ye Xiaotian stood beside Zhan Ning 'er. Annam Tien stood at the side and took off his outer robe to wring out the water. He pricked up his ears to listen to what they were talking about. Unexpectedly, Zhan Ning' er very gently and considerately said to him, "Cousin, the weather is a little cold. You should quickly go back and change your clothes so that you don't catch a cold."

"Oh!" Annam Tien obediently walked back. Once he turned around, he gritted his teeth and no one knew what he was muttering.

Zhan Ning 'er quickly looked at Ye Xiaotian and lowered her head again. She whispered, "Where … are you going?"

Ye Xiaotian thought, "Of course I am going back to Tongren. To be able to go out into the world, one must have a scholarly status recognized by the imperial court. A Xiucai Duke is a Xiucai Duke no matter where he is. That is something that brings glory to the ancestors. This Venerable can only hide in the deep mountains to show off his power. Then of course, I will quickly marry a wife and have children. Ai! I hope that Shuiwu's mother will not have any misunderstandings about me … "

Ye Xiaotian thought about it and said after some deliberation, "I plan to go to Tongren first. There are some unfinished business that needs to be settled. After that, I will take it one step at a time. "

Zhan Ning 'er softly said, "Then … will you go to Shuixi?"

Ye Xiaotian planned to settle the matter of the Xue family, marry a beautiful wife and go straight to the capital to enjoy the happiness of a family with his parents. Why would he go to Shuixi for no reason? Therefore, he thought for a moment and said, "Well, I will see. It is not easy to say now."

"What?"

Zhan Ning 'er then realized that she had misunderstood Ye Xiaotian that day. Last time in the Sacred Hall Garden, when she expressed her love and made an invitation to Ye Xiaotian, she was interrupted by Mao Wenzhi who had a' bug in his stomach '. She thought that Ye Xiaotian had agreed. Now that she heard it, she raised her eyebrows and became a little annoyed.

"You clearly …"

Zhan Ning 'er blurted out, but she only said these three words before she remembered that Ye Xiaotian had never agreed to her. That was just her wishful thinking. She couldn't help but feel bitter in her heart, "Is he still thinking about Miss Xue? How am I worse than her? I have a bad temper, but I can change … "

Seeing her strange look, Ye Xiaotian smiled and said, "Why do you look like this? Did I say something wrong? If I said something wrong or did something wrong, you must tell me. Don't keep it in your heart. Anyway, I will not change. Don't keep it to yourself. Haha … "

"You …"

Zhan Ning 'er was furious. She raised her leg but didn't kick him. She just put it down gently and lowered her head to say to Ye Xiaotian, "I promised you that I would practice a song well. If you come, I will sing it to you. If you don't come, I will never sing again in my life … "

"What?"

Ye Xiaotian was curious and wanted to ask again, but Zhan Ning 'er had turned around and walked away quickly. Ye Xiaotian looked at her back in surprise, scratched his head gently, and laughed, "Why does she look so strange? Could it be that she has fallen in love with me?"

Thinking about it, Ye Xiaotian found it funny himself. How could this be possible? She was too narcissistic. She was the eldest daughter of the Zhan family, a noble existence like a princess in Guizhou.

In the Great Ming Dynasty, the emperor was sullen, and the princess couldn't be majestic. In terms of freedom, Zhan Ning 'er, the little princess of the Tusi family, was more majestic than the real royal princess. What kind of identity did he have? How could he climb up to her? Besides, this little princess liked the kind of scholar who spoke logically. It was more likely that he spoke dirty words.

Ye Xiaotian had never thought of going to Shuixi, nor did he think of crossing paths with Miss Zhan again, so he didn't think deeply about her words. After saying goodbye to Zhan Ning 'er, Ye Xiaotian, Hua Yunfei, Mao Wenzhi, Yaoyao, and the expressionless Mr. Winter rushed to Tongren. As for whether Gedwa had sent someone else to follow them in secret, Ye Xiaotian observed carefully along the way, and it seemed that there was really no one.

Ye Xiaotian had left the inn in a hurry to chase after the two thieves who kidnapped Yaoyao. He didn't even take his luggage with him, so he naturally didn't pay the bill. This time, he naturally went back to the inn.

Ye Xiaotian stepped into the inn and was about to greet the innkeeper when he saw Master Li Zhongyin coming out with a sullen face. The innkeeper followed behind him with an apologetic smile.

Ye Xiaotian had only met Master Li once, but this Master Li was the key figure in his pursuit of scholarly honors, so he naturally remembered him. As soon as he saw him, Ye Xiaotian quickly went forward and bowed deeply, saying, "Junior Ye Xiaotian greets Master Li!"

Today was the third time Li Zhongyin came to the inn to ask about Ye Xiaotian. The innkeeper also hadn't seen Ye Xiaotian again. He had just replied to Master Li and was about to send him out.

In order to protect his own future, Li Zhongyin had to choose a Xiucai this time no matter what. It wasn't easy to find a suitable candidate, and he had also used many methods to pave the way, but he didn't expect that this person would be involved in a murder case, and his whereabouts were unknown, so he was in a very bad mood.

As soon as he walked to the door, he was stopped by Ye Xiaotian, who bowed deeply to him. Li Zhongyin was stunned at first, then overjoyed. He grabbed Ye Xiaotian and said, "So it's you, you're finally back! Where have you been these days? It's so easy for me to find you. "
