There was no doubt what that spot on the forehead was. He Yan didn't know what to do for a moment. He stood there not daring to move. He only felt that the place where his lips touched was burning.

Xiao Jue also froze, standing there motionless, with her beautiful eyes drooping, and it was impossible to tell what expression she had.

The eldest brother on the side laughed and said, "Why are you standing there? This young master has already arrived."

Xiao Jue seemed to come to his senses at this moment, and let go of her hand as if she had been stung by a bee. She turned around coldly and said, "Let's go."

He Yan said "Oh" to hide his inner shock and pretended nothing happened. He followed Xiao Jue but was screaming in his heart.

She actually... kissed Xiao Jue?

Even though it was just the forehead, such close contact... is hard to ignore. Even though it was just an accident, it happened at the wrong time!

They had just walked across the Lover's Bridge. If the Water God saw them, he might really think they were a couple and make some random mistakes. He Yan shuddered.

Xiao Jue walked very fast, maybe because of what happened just now. He Yan had no choice but to speed up and follow him. When he returned to Cui Yuezhi's side, everyone who had just watched the excitement applauded. Cui Yuezhi also smiled and said, "Qing Qing, you are really worthy of being a son of the Cui family! You passed it on your first try! I was thinking if you didn't pass it this time, would you dare to do it next time? Hahahaha, I didn't expect that you would pass this Lover's Bridge so smoothly!"

He Yan thought to himself, he was actually planning for the next time, this Lover's Bridge really has no bottom line.

"That's good now," Aunt Wei smiled and patted He Yan's hand, "Walk across the Lover's Bridge with Master Qing, and we will never be apart, whether in heaven or hell!"

He Yan: “…”

It's really scary.

Chiwu and Feinu also had expressions that were hard to describe, but Lin Shuanghe was the only one who was overjoyed. He fanned himself and said, "I want to go for a walk just like you said."

"Then you go." He Yan said unhappily. Lin Shuanghe had really been making trouble just now.

"Then forget it," Lin Shuanghe said modestly, "There are three thousand rivers, why bother to take a scoop of water? This bridge is not suitable for me. Besides, where can I find a girl who can hold me across the bridge?"

Xiao Jue: "Shut up."

He Yan didn't dare to say anything, this joke was embarrassing. Fortunately, when they finally got off the bridge, they were far away, so people only saw her almost falling, Xiao Jue held her back, and didn't see the accident on her forehead. Otherwise, if Lin Shuanghe wanted to make a joke about this, she would be really embarrassed.

"Now that we have walked across the Lover's Bridge, let's take a look at the other programs of our Water God Festival." Cui Yuezhi said with a smile: "Look, this is the Water Market."

Jiyang is close to the water, and there are already many large and small boats docked on the river. There are people sitting at the stern rowing, and various snacks, fruits, or jewelry and cosmetics are placed at the bow. If someone on the shore likes something, they can wave and the boat will stop at the shore to allow the guest to carefully select it. If the tourists on the boat like something, both boats will stop in the middle and the vendors on the boats will let the guest choose.

He Yan saw a small boat selling horseshoe-shaped cakes wrapped in large green leaves, with yam and red dates embedded in them and sprinkled with a layer of fine honey. They looked very attractive. Seeing that she liked them, Cui Yuezhi asked the servants beside him to go to the shore to stop the boat and buy a few packages.

He Yan took it, thanked her and took a bite. She immediately felt the fragrance lingering on her cheeks. It was so sweet that it made her mouth water. She sighed in her heart. Compared with this, the Danai cake she and He Yunsheng sold in Shuojing before was very ordinary.

She ate seriously, with her mouth bulging like a squirrel. Xiao Jue seemed to be unable to bear it and said, "There are cake crumbs in her mouth."

"What?" He Yan didn't hear clearly.

The next moment, the man angrily threw the handkerchief at her face: "Wipe it off, it's so embarrassing."

He Yan: “…”

She wiped her mouth and said, "There are so many things to do."

As he was speaking, he heard shouts of surprise from the other end. He turned around and saw a lot of people gathered in a circle outside a racecourse. He had no idea what they were doing.

I didn't understand so I asked, she pointed over there: "What's that over there?"

"That one," Cui Yuezhi looked in the direction she pointed and said, "This is called Stealing the Wind."

"What is the wind?"

"Look, there are many horses in the horse farm." Cui Yuezhi smiled and said, "The horse track is a circle, and in the middle is a high platform with a flag on the highest platform. People must ride horses and jump up to grab the flag when passing by the high platform. After getting the flag, jump off the platform, preferably on the back of the horse. If you can get the flag within the specified time, it means you have successfully grabbed the wind. Those who can successfully grab the wind will have good luck. Next to it is a copper kettle dripping water. The shorter the time, the greater the prize."

After listening to this, He Yan whispered, "Isn't this just a battle for the flag?"

Lin Shuanghe waved his fan and asked with a smile: "It sounds interesting, but what are the prizes?"

"The prizes are varied. If a man asks for something for himself, it's usually weapons, sometimes silver. If a man asks for something for a woman, it's usually jewelry, jewellery, or cloth."

Cui Yuezhi said as he led a few people to the horse farm. The horse farm in Jiyang was not big, not as big as the martial arts field under Baiyue Mountain in Liangzhou, but at this moment, there were already a lot of people gathered. I saw several men in fancy clothes riding horses passing by, and the horses brought up gusts of wind. Just as they passed by the high platform, several people jumped up and rushed to the top of the flagpole.

The flagpole was very high, and there was no place to stand around, so it all depended on one's skill to stand on it. One person tried to reach the top of the flagpole, but he fell down without even grabbing the flag. He landed in the sand pit under the stage. Another person managed to grab the flag with his hands before reaching the top of the pole, but he fell down again. He did not get to ride the horse, but only got a string of copper coins as a prize.

On the other side was a table with all kinds of prizes for "seizing the wind" on it. He Yan saw a whip on the top.

The whip was very long and looked extremely tough. It was purple in color and looked very useful. He Yan was afraid of being discovered, so he couldn't use the sword. He used the whip more often. However, the whips in the martial arts arena were not treasures. This whip looked much better than the ones he had used before.

For a moment, He Yan's heart was moved.

She asked the owner of the horse farm, "Excuse me, what is the prize of this whip?"

The owner of the horse farm said with a smile: "Young lady, you have good vision. This is the biggest prize of our 'Seizing the Wind' this time. The purple jade whip is in the copper kettle dripping water. If you can pull the flag in the shortest time, you can get this whip. Many guys came here for this whip today, but no one has taken it so far. I think today will be difficult!"

When she asked this, several people looked at her. Cui Yuezhi smiled and said, "Does Yuyan like this whip?"

"I think it looks very special," He Yan said modestly.

"Why not let Xinqing fight for you?" Cui Yuezhi said with a smile, "I've seen Xinqing's foundation. He must have practiced martial arts before, so he won't be afraid to go up."

After all, Cui Yuezhi was also a martial artist, so he could see at a glance how skilled the other party was.

He Yan looked at Xiao Jue, and Xiao Jue said coldly: "Don't even think about it."

"I've already started thinking about it." He Yan approached him and pleaded in a low voice, "Please help me this time and get this whip for me. With this whip, it will be easier for me to work for you in the future. If I hadn't seen that everyone here is a man today, I would definitely do it myself. Commander, general, young master...husband?"

Xiao Jue: "Shut up."

He Yan had no choice but to shut up. His eyes turned and fell on the purple jade whip again. He was extremely greedy. Sometimes it is not so easy to come across a good weapon, especially when you can get it for free without spending a single stitch. It is simply a once-in-a-decade opportunity. Wouldn't it be a pity to miss it?

It's just that today... I happened to have my period today, and I feel a little uncomfortable in my abdomen. But should it be bearable? He Yan pondered for a while, if he could get the flag in the shortest time, it would only hurt for a while, so it would be okay.

Thinking of this, he smiled and asked the owner of the horse farm: "Excuse me, can women participate?"

The owner of the horse farm was stunned, and the people around him were also stunned. The owner of the horse farm hesitated and said, "It is possible... However, no one has ever done this before."

Xiao Jue tilted his head and looked at her incredulously, "Are you crazy?"

"There's nothing I can do," He Yan said helplessly, "but I think this whip will be hard to come by in the future. Don't worry, you know my abilities. This kind of small situation won't be a problem for me."

"You are not... not..." Having said this, he seemed to be at a loss for words and did not continue.

He Yan looked at him strangely: "Nothing?" As he said that, he was about to raise his hand to tie up his hair. Having long hair was always inconvenient. As for clothes, he had to tie them up first.

As soon as she raised her hand, Xiao Jue grabbed her elbow.

"What's wrong?" He Yan asked.

Xiao Jue endured it, staring at her with a gaze as sharp as a knife, and said word by word: "I'll go."

"Huh?" He Yan was stunned for a moment. Before he could say anything, he saw Xiao Jue walking forward and saying something to the owner of the horse farm.

"Is Qing Qing trying to steal my love?" Cui Yuezhi was a little surprised. "For the whip that Yuyan likes?"

He Yan was speechless. In fact, although she begged Xiao Jue, she had never thought of asking Xiao Jue to do such a thing. A general in charge of tens of thousands of soldiers was doing this. Moreover, the second son of the Xiao family was always proud and looked down on such things. She didn't expect that he would actually go.

The owner of the stable took Xiao Jue inside to lead the horses. Aunt Wei smiled and spoke with envy: "Master Qing Qing treats Miss Yu Yan very well."

That was true, but... for a moment, He Yan was also a little confused.

Lin Shuanghe looked at He Yan, then looked at the direction where Xiao Jue was going, and gradually stopped fanning himself, standing there in thought.

Not long after, Xiao Jue came out on horseback.

It was spring, with fresh green and warmth. The handsome young man brightened the spring scenery around him. He was not wearing a robe today to celebrate the Water God Festival in Jiyang, but a dark blue casual dress, which made him look even more elegant. He looked lazy and indifferent as he sat on the horse, immediately attracting everyone's attention.

He Yan heard a woman behind him exclaiming: "What a handsome young man!"

"You have such handsome eyes and eyebrows, and you look so noble!"

"When did Jiyang have such a person? Whose young master is he?"

He Yan felt proud when he heard this, and a line of poetry came to his mind, "The spring grass is green and the clouds are white, I think of your handsome appearance riding a horse", which is exactly what it means.

Suddenly, I remembered the time when I was young in Xianchang Hall, hunting in the winter hunting grounds. The one who caught the most prey would receive a reward. Xiao Jue was the leader. At that time, He Yan could hardly draw a bow and shoot an arrow. In the end, he didn't catch any prey. He could only follow the surprised or envious eyes of the crowd and watch the young man walking out of the snow, wearing a brocade fox fur coat and full of grace.

Many years have passed, and he is still the same. As long as he stands in the crowd, he can become the most dazzling one. No matter how many things have happened, they can't make the pearl covered with dust.

Xiao Jue rode his horse around the racecourse.

At this time, in addition to the men, many girls also gathered around, of course, all to see Xiao Jue. Lin Shuanghe walked to He Yan's side and whispered: "Sister, you are really amazing. Xiao Huaijin is willing to show off for you."

He Yan blushed: "I didn't expect him to help." Who could have thought of this? She wondered if Xiao Jue was also possessed, but judging by the way he treated her before, it didn't seem like that.

"Are you very moved and want to marry me?"

He Yan was startled and subconsciously wanted to retort loudly, but suddenly remembered that Cui Yuezhi and his group were still around and he should not be presumptuous, so he replied in a low voice: "No! I don't like the governor."

"If you don't like him, why are you so nervous?" Lin Shuanghe asked nervously, "Brother, your ears are red."

He Yan quickly covered his ears with both hands, "That's not true, don't talk nonsense!"

At this moment, they suddenly heard bursts of exclamations coming from all around. They looked in the direction of the sound and saw Xiao Jue riding his horse to the bottom of the platform. He did not stop at all and flew directly up. The slippery long pole was as smooth as flat ground under his feet.

Even though the people around here may be relaxed, it is still not easy to get up there. Where can you see such a battle or someone who can seize the wind so easily?

He moved extremely fast, reaching the top of the pole in the blink of an eye like lightning. He then stepped on the end of the pole and casually pulled off the red flag.

The wind blew, and the flag fluttered in his hands. For a moment, the young man's face overlapped with the bright and beautiful boy in spring. His eyes were scattered, and he raised his eyebrows slightly. He smiled at the people in the audience, or just at He Yan, and said with a curled lip: "I got it."

He Yan stared at him in a daze. For a moment, he could hear the sound of his own heartbeat, which was so loud that it was hard to ignore. In his mind, he suddenly recalled the class he had attended in Xianchang Hall when he was young.

According to the Transmission of the Lamp, when the Sixth Patriarch Huineng first lived in the Faxing Temple, the wind blew and the flags fluttered. Two monks argued, one saying that it was the wind that fluttered, the other saying that the flags fluttered. The Sixth Patriarch said, "The wind and the flags are not fluttering. The fluttering is in the mind."

She originally thought that these words were obscure and she did not understand what they were talking about. Now, without any explanation or discussion, she only needed to take a look, just one look, and she understood everything.

It's not the wind that's moving, it's not the flag that's moving, it's the heart that's moving.
