He stepped forward, came to Yan Xi's side, and put his arm around his waist. It was a very natural movement, but it also hinted at a claim of sovereignty. He deliberately raised his voice and spoke softly, "Senior Brother."
The two originally ordinary words immediately became affectionate and ambiguous when they came out of Lou Jinchuan's mouth.
Yan Xi suddenly came back to her senses, retracted her gaze, and turned her head to look at him, "What's wrong?"
Lou Jinchuan smiled gently, "I suddenly remembered that there is a peach blossom forest on the mountain behind the temple. Let's go there and take a look."
Yan Xi did not answer immediately, but glanced at the man opposite.
The other party seemed to sense something and hurried forward, clasped his fists and bowed, looked at Yan Xi, smiled slightly, and said politely: "My name is Li Yancheng, may I know your name?"
Li Yancheng?
Lou Jinchuan lowered his eyes slightly. It was not that person.
But why did his senior brother look at him with such complicated eyes?
Yan Xi looked at Li Yancheng's face and almost blurted out, but then realized that he was wearing a human skin mask and changed his mind mid-sentence, "Yan... Qing."
"Yan Qing." Li Yancheng murmured softly, his eyebrows curved, "I heard that the two gentlemen are going to the peach blossom forest. Can I go with them?"
"Can……"
Before Yan Xi finished speaking, Lou Jinchuan coldly refused, "No, my senior brother has been in a bad mood recently and needs to relax. He doesn't like outsiders being present."
Li Yancheng sensed the other party's hostility and casually glanced at Lou Jinchuan's hand around the young man's waist. "Mr. Yan, are you in a bad mood? Perhaps talking to others would be better, what do you think?"
As he spoke, he looked at Yan Xi who had been staring at him.
Lou Jinchuan noticed this and unconsciously increased the strength of his embrace around his waist.
Yan Xi noticed it, frowned slightly, glanced at the hand, and looked up at him again, "Xiao Jin."
Lou Jinchuan understood what he meant, tightened his grip, and then reluctantly let go.
Yan Xi then looked at Li Yancheng, suppressed the turbulent emotions in his heart, and responded with a faint smile, "I appreciate your kindness, but it is really inconvenient today. I'm sorry."
Perhaps not expecting him to refuse, Li Yancheng was slightly stunned for a moment, but quickly adjusted his facial expression and smiled politely, "I apologize for being rude. Please do as you please, gentlemen."
Yan Xi smiled and nodded, then turned around and said to the unhappy boy beside him, "Let's go to the peach blossom forest."
The boy's eyes lit up, "Okay!"
But he seemed afraid that Yan Xi would regret it, so he pulled him away quickly.
Li Yancheng looked at Yan Xi's back as he walked away, a little lost in thought.
Until a man dressed in black with a sword on his waist appeared and said, "Master, I have completed the task you requested."
Li Yancheng slowly came back to his senses, nodded without looking back, and said to Yan Xi: "Find out his identity."
The man followed his gaze and nodded respectfully, "I understand."
After standing there for a while, the person disappeared from view, and Li Yancheng looked away. "Let's go."
"yes."
After the two men left, the woman they had just tried to strike up a conversation with was left standing there in confusion.
She scratched her cheek and glanced at the marriage letter in her hand with disappointment. "Forget it, I'd better pray to the marriage tree."
…
As it is the season when peach blossoms are in full bloom, the peach blossom forest on the mountain behind the temple looks like a sea of pink cherry blossoms, which is extremely spectacular.
Yan Xi had no intention of appreciating it, as he was still thinking about the person he had just met.
Li Yancheng, who has the same appearance as Xiao Jingwen.
"System, do you think there are people in this world who look exactly like you?"
System 5555: "Yes, twins."
Yan Xi said: "That's not what I'm talking about. What I mean is whether it's possible for two people from different worlds to look exactly the same."
System 5555: "Unless this is a parallel world, they can't look exactly the same. Wait, why are you asking this all of a sudden? You're not hiding something from me, are you? If I'm not mistaken, you were very emotionally unstable when you saw Li Yancheng just now. Could he look exactly like someone you know?"
Yan Xi's heart skipped a beat, and he quickly laughed it off. "How could that be? How could I possibly be hiding something from you? However, that Li Yancheng does look a lot like someone I know, but they're not from a parallel world. I guess it's been so long that my memory is flawed."
System 5555: "Yes, you can't hide anything from me. Honestly, do you want me to clear your memory to prevent damage to your soul caused by memory confusion?"
Yan Xi said seriously, "Oh, no need. This is the first world I've been in, and I've made it through safely, right? Don't worry, I can distinguish between reality and mission."
System 5555: "Alright then, don't get confused. Don't worry about the differences. Just focus on your mission. Relax for a few days and then prepare for the imperial examination. Don't be stressed. If you don't become the top scholar, you can always join the army like the male protagonist and fight in the battlefield. Anyway, your martial arts level has reached a certain level. You've read all the military books over the years, so there's nothing to be afraid of."
Yan Xi pursed her lips and said, "Well, I'll try my best."
He was somewhat reluctant to go into battle and kill the enemy. So far, he had never killed anyone, and he was still a little scared.
