"What does that woman have to do with the Flowing Sword Technique? Could it be that you are also here for the sword scripture?”He deliberately lowered his voice and said with a stern look in his eyes, as if he was announcing that Su Su would kill her on the spot if her answer was wrong. Su Su also believed that it would be a piece of cake for someone who could pick up the Great Ravager to get rid of her. However, she had to get rid of Leng Feiyi, and the Xuanxu Sect was the best place. This was the only way to infuriate the Shadow Villa and release Leng Ruofeng and Meng Yu to participate in the sword scripture contest. This was the only way she could benefit from it. The Shiying Mountain Villa could not give the imperial court a bride, and the Xuanxu Sect snatched the most favored Fourth Young Lady in the villa. Since Leng Cangming didn't want to give her a way out, then she would completely destroy this world…
"I'm indeed here for the sword scripture, but unfortunately, I'm not interested in it. Compared to the sword scripture, I have more feelings for the Great Ravager. Are you satisfied?" Glancing at him, Su Su gently blew on the hot porridge in the spoon, creating ripples.
The people around them were still laughing wantonly, talking and laughing. The streets of the small town outside the inn were bustling with traffic. Occasionally, one or two people would pass by Su Su. Although they would be amazed by her beauty, they would be forced away by Lü Nong's creepy smile. The man smiled and raised his eyebrows."Young Lady's words are honest, but women who are too good at scheming are not very likable. I will take that girl away, but I do not intend to win her heart, nor do I intend to make her follow me wholeheartedly. So…in the future, when that woman comes back, she might find trouble with you.”
Su Su raised her eyebrows and smiled lazily.""Thank you for your concern. No matter what happens to her, I won't let myself suffer.”
The man stood up and cupped his fists at Su Su with a smile. His voice was loud and clear,""I am Tan Mo, what is your name?"
Su Su saw that he had already let go of her, so she stood up and placed her hands on her abdomen. She bowed slightly as a return gesture."Su Su."
Smiling brightly, the man habitually touched the hilt of the sword on his back. His facial features were clearly carved with determination, but he smiled foolishly."See you again."
Su Su didn't say a word when she returned to her seat. Pei Siyuan smiled meaningfully and lowered his eyes to play with the coarse porcelain cup in his hand. Leng Feiyi poked the white rice in her bowl, and her black pupils carefully glanced at Su Su, who was sipping tea and staring out the window.
"If you have something to say, just say it." Su Su turned her head. The black glass beads on her hair made a clear sound as she turned her head. The sound of the beads falling onto the plate was indescribably bewitching. She narrowed her eyes and sized Leng Feiyi up. Then, she lazily supported her beautiful chin with one hand and lowered her eyes to take a nap.
"Third Sister…where are we going next?”Leng Feiyi bit her chopsticks and said hesitantly.
Her slender hand held a pair of red chopsticks and knocked on the thick porcelain bowl filled with porridge in front of her. Her pale lips said softly,"Thunder Castle."
"Why go there?" Pei Siyuan put down his cup and looked up at Su Su. His smiling eyes had a hint of fierceness. Su Su opened her eyes, stood up and waved her sleeves. She said lightly,""The tenth day of the month is the birthday of the Lei Family's Castle Lord. Lü Nong has found out that the Lei Family's Castle Lord is almost sixty years old, but no one in the world dares to claim that his sword-forging skills are second to none. If I can obtain his favor, wouldn't it be easy for me to steal the best divine sword in Thunderbolt Castle?”
Looking at the white figure that was gradually leaving, Leng Feiyi turned his head and said in confusion,"Since Third Sister said that we can win the favor of Lord Lei, then why are we still using this small trip to steal those swords?”
Pei Siyuan smiled and placed his long, calloused hand on Leng Feiyi's delicate hand. His peach blossom eyes were as gentle as water."Silly girl, no matter how close we are, we can't give you everything. Your third sister said that she was happy, but she could wait until the truth was revealed and avoid those necessary suspicions.”
Leng Feiyi nodded in realization. Her cheeks were about to turn red, but it was destroyed in a moment of clarity. She lowered her eyes and looked at the big hand that was wrapping her small hand. Her eyes were complicated. This man, he knew his unpredictable Third Sister so well…
Su Su had promised Lü Nong that she would bring her to the Sweet Almond Pavilion to taste the almond crispy cakes. Looking at the people walking around and peddling on the streets, Su Su frowned in displeasure. However, when he saw Lü Nong running around with a smile and looking at this and that, a faint smile still appeared in his eyes.
"Miss! Miss, look! What was this? It's so beautiful!"
On the other side, Lunong ran to a sugar painting stall. Her pretty face was flushed with excitement, and her beautiful big eyes were also shining with her emotions. She lowered her head and looked at the old man who was drawing a sugar painting. His serious and sincere appearance was very similar to the modern day Su Lan.
Su Gang…
The light in Su Su's eyes suddenly disappeared, and it was replaced by a sense of loss... She looked at Lü Nong who squatted down and ignored the green dress that was spread out on the bluestone ground. She held her face and focused on the sugar painting. He seemed to see a familiar silhouette on her body. She was wearing washed white jeans, a loose T-shirt, and a slightly outdated shoulder bag. Her medium-long black hair was tied into a high ponytail. That flamboyant and energetic shadow once again shocked Su Su's vision more than ten years later, a thousand years ago...
"Su Gang…"
"Miss, what did you say?" Lu Nong looked up at Su Su who was standing behind her. Because of the light, she could not see Su Su's expression. She only knew that although the voice had entered her ears vaguely, the sadness in it was undisguised and attacked her heart...
The illusion disappeared the moment Lü Nong raised her head. Su Su squatted down and looked at the sugar painting on the straw seriously. It was crystal clear under the sunlight and had a sweet red halo. She pulled out a sugar painting with a peony on it and sniffed it gently. Then, she curled her lips into a smile, and her mockery was self-evident."There's no fragrance…"
"Young Lady's words are wrong. Peonies are the national beauty, and their fragrance naturally cannot be compared to other flowers. It is not strong, not strong, delicate fragrance, delicate fragrance The thing in the girl's hand was a dead object, so it couldn't be compared with the Flower King.”
The sugar painting elder suddenly opened his mouth. His vigorous and powerful voice didn't have any of the empty air that a sixty-year-old should have. Su Su looked at the old man who was concentrating on the sugar painting and put the sugar painting back into the straw with a faint smile.""Sir, you have misunderstood my meaning. When I said that it was not fragrant, I did not mean that the peonies were not fragrant. I was referring to Sir's sugar painting.”
The old man raised his head. His thin face was wrinkled by the passage of time, but his eagle eyes were still sharp. He sized Su Su up and suddenly smiled.""Young Lady's appearance is very beautiful, but unfortunately, being too smart will not live up to this demure appearance.”
Slightly nodding, Su Su glanced at Lü Nong and continued,""Then in your opinion, how should I be worthy of this appearance?”
"See through the mortal world, hide in the mountains, and convert to Buddhism.”
Su Su's lips curled into a smile as she said those 12 words. She took out a few copper coins from her waist and placed them in front of the old man, saying lightly,""Lunong, let's go."
Lu Nong took the Phoenix Peony from Su Su and asked with a puzzled expression,""Miss…is that old man trying to persuade you to become a monk?”
The two of them walked side by side on the street. Lü Nong looked at the lifelike sugar painting in her hand and then looked up at Su Su, who was silently thinking about something.
Su Su covered her mouth with her sleeve and coughed lightly. She turned her head and smiled,""He's probably a fortune-teller who came to the wrong industry to sell sugar paintings. What a crazy fortune-teller.”
"Miss! Sweet House! What a magnificent pastry shop!"
After taking a few steps, Lu Nong's mind was completely attracted by the magnificent octagonal pavilion. On the dark plaque were golden cursive characters. If one did not look carefully, it would be difficult to tell that it was the words 'Sweet Pavilion.' The three-story attic was very well distributed. After entering, he realized that the so-called Sweet Pavilion was actually very similar to a modern coffee shop. It was an elegant place where rich children chatted in the afternoon.
Looking around, Su Su felt that it was rare for such a remote town to have an elegant place. After asking for a window seat, Su Su and Lü Nong sat face to face. Lü Nong had always been in the rare state of Granny Liu entering the Grand View Garden, while she supported her chin with one hand and half-closed her eyes to enjoy a rare moment of peace.
"Miss, I didn't expect this place to have such a rare place. In the past, when we were in the village, except for General Manager Wu who allowed us to go down the mountain to play at the end of the year, we saw some restaurants and inns. Today is the first time we came here!”Lu Nong took a sip of the hot tea served by the waiter. Her eyes curved into a crescent shape with a smile, full of terrifying brilliance. Su Su picked up the well-heated blue and white cup and gently blew on the light green tea. She pursed her pale lips slightly and frowned in discomfort."This tea tastes sweet? What a waste of water."
Lu Nong shrugged and muttered in disagreement,"Young Lady, don't think that everyone has the same taste as Young Lady and likes that bitter taste. Look at all the young masters and young ladies here. They were all pampered and spoiled. How could they stand the bitter tea that the young miss liked?”
Su Su raised her eyebrows and smiled. She leaned lazily against the window and glanced at Lü Nong,""You're right, I've been too self-centered.”After saying that, he turned his gaze out of the window. His gaze slowly dissipated, and when it condensed, it was as if he was looking through a distant space. His eyes were slightly narrowed because of the discomfort of facing the sun. His lazy appearance was like a noble Persian cat. He was comfortable and bewitching, and he was born with a demure and indifferent temperament. The waiter who was serving pastries to their table was slightly absent-minded when he saw the hazy and mysterious side profile. He forgot to put down the almond crisp that Lu Nong had been drooling over for a long time, causing her to cough unhappily, reminding him of his behavior. The moment Su Su turned around, the waiter put down his plate in a panic and ran away with a red face.
"Miss is used to bewitching people. Just a side profile was enough to make that little second brother lose his soul.”While grumbling about Su Su, Lunong picked up the delicately carved bamboo chopsticks on the plate. The handles of the chopsticks were carved with vivid wisteria vines. The golden edges were extravagant to the extreme. Lu Nong rubbed the bamboo chopsticks that were icy to the touch, shook her head regretfully, and put them down. In the end, she chose to use her hands to twist the almond crisp.
