[Lu Xiaofeng Sword III] The Emei faction is playing a big game of chess

The senior sister who grew up together is about to marry the person she likes.This ideal person has first-class appearance, first-class family background, first-class martial arts and temperament. He is really a high-quality young man who is too good to be good.Such a good marriage, no matter where you put it, you can't find it with a lantern.

It's just that, when this good-quality young man's surname is Ximen and his name is Chuuxue, this good marriage that can't be found even with a lantern will decisively become the rhythm of Sister Keng!

Ye Zhiran sat at the table with her chin propped on one hand, looking at her second senior sister with melancholy eyes.

Today is a day of great joy for her and Ximen Chuuxue, but let her greet this historic moment with a sunny smile... To be honest, she really can't do it.

Well, from this point of view, in fact, she personally feels quite sorry for the second senior sister.But... no matter which girl has read the ending of the original book, if she really laughs at this time, she will be really sorry for the senior sister!

Ye Xiuzhu put down the jade comb in her hand and turned her head, and saw her little junior sister with a melancholy expression on her face, looking at Sun Xiuqing with both blessings for her future life and deep worries... Basically, any mother That's how she looked at her daughter who was about to get married.Seeing Ye Xiuzhu laughed for a while.

"Junior Sister, today is the day of Second Senior Sister's great joy, you should smile anyway."

The girl in pink slowly raised her head, watched her tug at the corners of her lips, and finally put her hand on her forehead and sighed.

"Third Senior Sister, I can't laugh..."

Thinking that she was reluctant to part with her senior sister, Ye Xiuzhu lowered her head and looked at Sun Xiuqing, then smiled and was about to comfort her, when she heard the door of the room creak open, and Ma Xiuzhen, who was wearing a goose yellow dress rarely appeared today At the door, he scanned the room and landed on Sun Xiuqing.

"Big sister." Ye Zhiran raised her hand in greeting.

Sun Xiuqing put down the red hairpin in his hand and turned to look at her with a smile, "Is it time?"

Ma Xiuzhen shook her head, "Not yet. Someone from the front just brought a congratulatory gift and left a letter behind." She paused, and turned her gaze to Ye Xiuzhu beside her, "He's from the Heavenly Bird Sect."

Ye Zhiran and Sun Xiuqing were both taken aback, and then they all looked at Ye Xiuzhu.The girl in a light green dress was slightly taken aback, then slowly lowered her head.

Ye Zhiran's eyes followed her drooping head, and fell on her hand that was holding the jade comb tightly.The clean and tender fingers clenched the back of the comb, and the joints were slightly white.

She sighed softly, and exchanged glances with Sun Xiuqing.The latter gently put his hand on the back of Ye Xiuzhu's hand on the table, and smiled at her reassuringly.

Ma Xiuzhen looked at the junior sister who was drooping her head in silence, and sighed lightly in her phoenix eyes. After a long silence, she slowly said, "Junior sister, do you want to go and see?"

The door of the room squeaked shut.Ye Zhiran looked at the direction in which the slender figure disappeared through the window and sighed again.

Ye Xiuzhu went to the front, Ma Xiuzhen was a little worried about going with her, at this time only Ye Zhiran was left in the room with Sun Xiuqing who was about to marry.

The third senior sister still couldn't forget him, thinking of this, Ye Zhiran wanted to sigh again.

After the King Jinpeng incident ended, Huo Tianqing, who had not recovered from his injuries, came to Emei in person.At that time, Ye Zhiran had already gone down the mountain. According to Shi Xiuyun, the fourth senior sister, he and Dugu Yihe talked for a long time in the study, and no one knew what they said.After coming out of the study, Huo Tianqing's expression didn't change much, but Master stroked his beard and let out a long sigh.

Huo Tianqing stood in front of Ye Xiuzhu's gate for a while and then went down the mountain. After that, every half a month, he sent someone to send a letter to Mount Emei, along with some small gifts, sometimes it was a delicate pearl flower, sometimes it was a A box of gouache, or a box of pastries from Hefangzhai.There are not many things, and they are not considered precious. They can even be said to be things that can be seen everywhere in the market. Compared with a solemn gift to make amends, it is more like a gift bought by the husband after going out to make his wife happy.The letters sent were not long, sometimes even only two sentences, but they never stopped, even though all the sent things disappeared without a word.

After the King Jinpeng incident, although Ye Xiuzhu didn't change anything on the surface, she smiled when she should, and ate when she should eat, and she was completely different from the general girl's sluggishness after breaking up in love.

Everything is normal, too normal.

The only change this relationship brought to her was that the breath around her became much quieter.If Ye Xiuzhu in the past was like a quiet stream flowing under the sun, peaceful and gentle, now she is like a calm pool of water.The smile was not in line with the simple and worry-free past, and it carried a light, heavy and depressive meaning.

In fact, she would rather see her venting out by crying, rather than burying all the wounds in her heart like now, and finally bleeding and festering, and she can't get better.

She looked up at Sun Xiuqing who was sitting quietly in front of the dressing table, her eyes dimmed.Seeing Ye Xiuzhu now, she seemed to see Sun Xiuqing in the future.Pressing her temples, Ye Zhiran couldn't help feeling a little headache.

"Zhiran." Just when Ye Zhiran was infinitely worried about her senior sister's relationship problems, Sun Xiuqing suddenly spoke and looked at her seriously, "Did you and City Lord Ye quarrel?"

"Huh?" Ye Zhiran was at a loss, how did the topic jump here?

"You guys feel like something's wrong today. I thought you guys had a fight." Sun Xiuqing looked at her with slight worry.

The corners of Ye Zhiran's mouth twitched, wondering if she was worrying about her senior sister's emotional problems, but also being worried about by her senior sister?She waved her hand feebly, "How can Ye Gucheng and I quarrel. With his character, you want me to be able to quarrel with him..."

Sun Xiuqing turned her head and thought for a while, then smiled slightly, "That's right. City Lord Ye is so kind to you, I wouldn't even think about arguing with you."

"..." The focus is not here, okay!

"Zhiran..." Sun Xiuqing tilted her head and looked at her, and took the bright red embroidered handkerchief on the table with one hand, "When are you and City Lord Ye going to get married?"

"..." Getting married... what should she say?

Seeing the almost numb expression of the little junior sister, Sun Xiuqing frowned slightly, "City Master Ye didn't mention it to you at all, did he?"

"..." No, he mentioned it, and he mentioned it twice.

"Zhiran!"

Ye Zhiran sighed, looking at her senior sister's serious expression, she said helplessly, "Senior sister, I have my sense of proportion. You should stop asking now. This matter..." It's really complicated...

Ye Gucheng's relationship with her now even she doesn't understand.Friends and relatives around her almost all treated him as her future husband-in-law.And the reason why they haven't got engaged until now is only because she is too young now.

But Ye Zhiran knew that it wasn't like this.

Ye Gucheng said twice that he wanted to marry her, but nothing happened afterwards.She could still take the answer of "promise with your body" the first time as a joke, but the second time... the spring warm mist cleared, the faint smile flashed in her mind, and it brought a three-point smile to him A serious voice.

"On your 16th birthday, I will go to the foot of Mount Emei to marry you in."

But he didn't come.

And the reason why he didn't come... Ye Zhiran lowered her eyes slightly, and slowly tightened her hands on the table, she probably guessed seven points.

In all fairness, Ye Gucheng treated her very well, really very well.Whether she was called from Baiyun City to Shanxi by a letter from her, or appeared in Emei Mountain during the civil strife in Emei, or even accompanied her to Hua's house to relax.She can even say unceremoniously that she is probably the only girl in the entire Jianghu who can be treated so hard by the sword fairy Ye Gucheng.

She's not really stupid. Could it be that she doesn't know the reason why a man with a high status and a clean look is willing to do this for a girl?

However, she has been pretending to be stupid.Pretending not to know, pretending to be innocent and ignorant.Pretend to the point where she can no longer pretend.

She is not as stupid and ignorant as she appears to be.She knew it, and Ye Gucheng probably knew it too.But he didn't say anything, just looked at her quietly from the side, and then pampered her.

However, this is the most deadly.

In fact, even if Sun Xiuqing didn't mention it to her today, she probably wouldn't be able to hold on anymore.

Not everyone has the courage to hit the iceberg like her senior sister, Sun Xiuqing.In addition to needing the courage to hit the iceberg, she also had to face the ending that she didn't even want to think about in the original "Battle of the Forbidden".

What's more, she knew that once everything was revealed, and when the battle at the top of the Forbidden City came, she would not stand beside Ye Gucheng and watch him plot rebellion.Absolutely not!

Ye Zhiran pinched her fingertips deeply into her palm, raised her head and said with a forced smile, "Senior Sister, so you still..."

"Zhiran." Sun Xiuqing walked up to her, held her hand, and looked down at her seriously.

"Senior sister doesn't know what happened between you and Ye Gucheng, but I just ask you, will you regret it?"

Ye Zhiran was slightly taken aback.

Will she regret it?Ye Zhiran's eyes were a little dazed.If that day really comes, and Ye Gucheng really died under Ximen Chuixue's sword like in the original book, will she regret it?

Maybe it was the stimulation that Sun Xiuqing's words brought her before, or maybe it was the tangled thinking after getting to know Third Senior Sister and Huo Tianqing, Ye Zhiran did not evade any more, and began to face this problem squarely.

Ignoring the faint tingling in her heart when she remembered the ending of the original book, she lowered her eyes and seriously reviewed the things that happened since she knew Ye Gucheng.

Speaking of it, although she and Ye Gucheng have known each other for nearly two years, in fact they didn't spend much time together.It's only three months in total, but the memories of these three months in her mind take up most of the space.When we first met, I mistook him for Ximen Chuuxue, the jokes blurted out when we met for the third time, the unfinished lanterns in Jimo, the bamboo forest behind Baiyun City Lord's Mansion instructing her in swordsmanship, and the scenes like a movie film frame by frame. mind let go.In the end, it was fixed at the moment when she walked out of the mourning hall in Zhuguang Baoqi Pavilion, the white figure standing in the shade of the trees under the moonlight looked up.

After being silent for a long time, the girl in pink said softly, "What about senior sister? Marrying Ximen Chuuxue, how do you know that you won't regret it in the future?"

"I would rather bear the due price for what I did than regret for what I didn't do."

Ye Zhiran was slightly startled, and lowered her eyes silently.

What if it was her?She will regret it, she... will definitely regret it!

Slowly, the eyes of the girl in pink became clearer. She raised her eyes and looked at the senior sister who was standing in front of her and stared at her with a bright smile. Months of stagnation gradually dissipated, suddenly enlightened.

"Senior sister, I understand."

The author has something to say: ... So, there was an accident yesterday and it still didn't work... I'll try my best to save the manuscript, and the awesome route of updating now is really not suitable for me...
