Su Muqing didn't want to ruin the mood of the junior sister, so he suppressed his anger and waved his hand, saying, "Then go quickly, and remember to be nice."
Lin Zichen made a "tsk" sound in his heart, said he understood, and then quickly went upstairs.
Before reaching Fan Li's door, Lin Zichen stopped and did not move forward.
He would never ask Fan Li for help.
If Fan Li knew that they invited her to go on a boat trip, she would definitely follow them shamelessly. He knew Fan Li too well.
He just wouldn't let her have her way.
Lin Zichen leaned on the railing, calculating the time in his mind. After a while, he would go downstairs to tell his senior brother that Fan Li didn't want to play with them.
Just as he was thinking, Lin Zichen caught a glimpse of a graceful figure.
The woman was wearing a veil, her eyes were charming and her waist was slender. She glanced at him and bewitched Lin Zichen.
The light yellow corner of the clothes disappeared around the corner.
Lin Zichen chased after him, but could not see the charming shadow.
A little lost.
Just as I was about to leave, I saw a sachet lying quietly on the ground.
Lin Zichen was delighted, raised the corner of his lips, picked up the sachet, and tossed it in his hand.
It's the same hard-to-get tactic again, so cliché, but it's good enough as long as you are willing to put in the effort for him.
Lin Zichen has a good appearance and he always encountered such things when he was training outside in the past. He was used to it and didn’t think much about it.
I held the sachet under my nose and sniffed it. The elegant and refreshing sweet-scented osmanthus fragrance was exactly as I had imagined, and I felt itchy in my heart.
He calmed himself down, put the sachet in his arms, and went downstairs.
Lin Zichen was very calm, he knew he would see this woman again.
Su Muqing saw him coming down alone, frowned, and asked, "Where's Xiaoqi?"
Lin Zichen changed his words and said, "Oh, she's not in the room. Maybe she went out to play by herself."
Su Muqing asked, "If you're not here, why did you stay there for so long?"
Lin Zichen choked and reacted quickly: "I thought she was in the room, but just refused to pay attention to me, so I waited a little longer, but who knew she was not there at all."
Su Muqing wanted to say something else, but Song Xixi gently pulled his sleeve.
"Big Brother, it is said that the Flower Street Boat Ride is a specialty of Qingzhou Town. If you don't experience it, your trip would be in vain. Maybe the Seventh Senior Sister is already in the Flower Street."
Su Muqing was helpless: "Then let's go."
…
The group went to the most lively place in Cheongju Town, Flower Street.
Even before getting close, you can hear the sound of stringed instruments and wind instruments, mixed with noisy voices.
When you get closer, you will see twinkling lights and swaying willows. You can see flower boats slowly passing through the water, and vague figures of people can be seen on the boats.
It was lively, but Su Muqing felt extremely uncomfortable in such a place.
Since ancient times, this has been a favorite place for entertainment for dignitaries. Looking around, it is full of decadence and decadence, and it is really a mess!
Song Xixi did not notice Su Muqing's displeasure. She held Su Muqing's arm affectionately and said excitedly, "Big Brother, there is an empty boat over there. Let's go on a cruise too!"
Han Shouyu rarely saw Song Xixi so happy, so he took the initiative to negotiate with the boatman.
Lin Zichen saw the familiar goose yellow figure again. He felt something in his heart and found an excuse to leave the place and chased after him.
Song Xixi just wanted to spend some time alone with her senior brother, and Lin Zichen's departure was just what she wanted.
It’s a pity that there is also a fourth senior brother who cannot be ignored. He is really an eyesore.
"Big Brother, Little Sister, you can get on board now." Han Shouyu noticed that one person was missing and asked in confusion, "Hey, where's the fifth brother?"
Song Xixi said: "Fifth Senior Brother seems to have seen an acquaintance. I'm afraid he won't be able to come back for a while. Let's get on the boat first."
Such beautiful scenery and atmosphere, coupled with the small space on the boat, are perfect for romance.
Song Xixi was eager to express her feelings to Su Muqing.
Unexpectedly, Su Muqing pulled his arm out of her hand and said with a lack of interest: "You guys play, I'm going back."
Song Xixi was stunned, "But Senior Brother..." This is my first time on a boat trip.
"Fourth Brother, take good care of our junior sister." Su Muqing was determined to leave, and no one could stop him.
Song Xixi was abandoned by him just like that.
She bit her lip and stamped her feet unwillingly.
Han Shouyu scratched his head. Seeing that his junior sister was depressed, he didn't know what to do for a moment.
"Don't be sad, little sister. Senior Brother never likes places like this. If he leaves, he's gone. It doesn't matter. Fourth Brother is here to accompany you."
Who wants you to accompany me!
Song Xixi cursed in her heart.
But her face was full of pity, tears fell without warning, and she said pitifully and aggrievedly: "If Seventh Senior Sister was here, Senior Brother would not have left."
Han Shouyu panicked when he saw her crying, and said hastily, "That's not necessarily true. Senior Brother is very principled, and Xiao Qi has been spoiled by him before. Come on, it's not good to cry."
Not only was Song Xixi not comforted, she cried even harder.
"Junior sister, do you still want to go on a boat trip? If not, I will take you back."
Song Xixi still got on the boat.
She didn't want to go back and see Fan Li's smug face.
Song Xixi huddled in the corner, looking lonely. No matter how Han Shouyu teased her, there was no trace of a smile on her face.
Han Shouyu remained silent and sat quietly on the side, his tall figure shielding the wind for his junior sister.
He couldn't help but think.
It’s not enough that the eldest brother hurt Xiao Qi’s heart, he also hurts the little sister’s heart. The eldest brother is really...
The atmosphere was gloomy, and neither of them noticed that an unmanned ship was quietly approaching from behind.
Sudden.
There was a loud bang.
Something unexpected happened.
The boat was capsized.
The next moment, screams were heard from all directions.
"Boat wreck! Boat wreck!"
"The boat is going to sink, hurry up and save people!!"
…
The next day, when Fan Li came out of his cultivation, he realized that something big had happened last night.
It's noisy outside.
The disciples gathered in twos and threes, whispering to each other.
When Fan Li went out, he happened to hear them talking about what happened last night. He thought that Ye Wushuang had dealt with Lin Zichen, but unexpectedly, Song Xixi was also in trouble.
Let’s talk about Lin Zichen first.
It is said that he ran naked on Red Street like a madman last night, cursing himself as he ran, saying that he was worse than an animal, had a heartless heart, was despicable and mean, and would not die a good death... and so on.
He was crazy and scared a lot of people.
He was finally found in a manure pit by a farmer. It is unknown how he got back.
As soon as Lin Zichen came back, he hid in the house and closed the door.
When passing by the door, you can still vaguely smell a lingering, disgusting stench.
Lin Zichen was completely embarrassed and Song Xixi almost lost her life.
It is said that when the flower boat drifted to the center of the lake last night, it accidentally collided with another boat and capsized.
The strange thing was that there was no one on the boat that hit them, not even a boatman.
Many people saw with their own eyes that the unmanned ship was heading straight towards their ship at an extremely fast speed, as if something was holding it up underwater. It was extremely strange.
And after the collision, it was still floating steadily on the water, while Song Xixi and Han Shouyu's boat had sunk to the bottom of the water and broke into pieces.
Speaking of which, Song Xixi was lucky. If Han Shouyu hadn't been on the boat, she would have drowned.
Song Xixi was frightened and caught a cold. Now she is lying in bed with a high fever. Su Muqing and Han Shouyu are both staying in the room with her, staying by her side, and are worried.
The original plan was to set off for Lingyu Mountain today, but we encountered such a bad thing that we had to postpone it for another day or two.
This was Su Muqing's decision, and no one had any objection.
After learning the whole story, Fan Li did not go to visit Song Xixi and returned to his room alone.
She wondered if the two things were related.
Soon, Fan Li rejected it.
Lin Zichen's experience must have been caused by Ye Wushuang, no doubt about it. But Song Xixi was definitely not.
First of all, Ye Wushuang had no reason to attack Song Xixi, she had no motive.
Secondly, Ye Wushuang would never do such a thing as harming his fellow disciples, otherwise Lin Zichen would be the first to die.
If it’s not Ye Wushuang, it must be someone else...wait.
Han Shouyu is also on the boat. Could he be the enemy of the fourth senior brother? Is Song Xixi innocently implicated?
However, Han Shouyu had been familiar with water since childhood and was a cultivator who knew how to hold his breath. It was impossible for him to drown even if his feet were entangled by water plants.
What kind of enemy would be so stupid as to plan to drown a cultivator who has the magical skill of holding his breath?
In this accident, Han Shouyu was unharmed, but Song Xixi, who had a cold body, was the most seriously injured. It was obvious that the attack was aimed at Song Xixi.
Rather than an assassination, it was more like a warning.
It's unbelievable.
Fan Li's intuition told him that this was definitely not a coincidence.
Fan Li slowly wiped the Ice Soul Sword in his hand and lowered his eyes in thought.
She felt more and more that something was different between this life and her previous life.
