The Taoist bell rang three times and the cranes cried together.
Some people went on stage to perform music, chess, calligraphy and painting, while others competed in martial arts to liven up the atmosphere.
From the mountain peaks, towers, streets and alleys, laughter and joy can be heard everywhere. It is even more lively than the Spring Festival in this secular world.
Jiang Zhige arrived at the agreed location on time, but found that he was the only one around, with Nangong Rou and Lu Tianjiao nowhere to be seen.
After a while, Lu Tianjiao came late and said with an apologetic smile: "Sorry, Brother Jiang, I'm late."
At this time, he was still dressed in white, but it was obviously more luxurious. He wore a silver crown on his head and silver boots on his feet. With his handsome appearance, he looked like a handsome young man.
On the other hand, Jiang Zhige was still wearing the blue robe that symbolized that he was an outer disciple of Tianyun Pavilion.
Jiang Zhige looked Lu Tianjiao up and down and praised him, "The man on the street is as beautiful as jade, and the gentleman is unparalleled in the world. I am talking about you, Brother Lu."
As long as Lu Tianjiao's character does not have any problems in the future, he really doesn't mind letting Lu Tianjiao be his brother-in-law.
"Brother Jiang, you are too kind. You are too busy practicing to dress up. Otherwise, I would be just a foil in front of you."
Lu Tianjiao made a polite remark and looked around for Nangong Rou while speaking.
Jiang Zhige shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Don't worry, Rou'er hasn't come yet."
Given Nangong Rou's personality, she would probably have to wait for a long time.
Lu Tianjiao breathed a sigh of relief when he heard that. He was afraid that Nangong Rou would arrive before him. If Nangong Rou knew that he was not punctual, it would definitely ruin her impression of him.
However, Lu Tianjiao soon gave up this idea, because the two of them waited for nearly half an hour and still did not see Nangong Rou.
"Brother Jiang, will Junior Sister Nangong come?"
"I don't know either, why don't we go first?"
Lu Tianjiao fell silent. If there were only two men, him and Jiang Zhige, why not go out for a drink and have fun? Why bother going to the market? Just when Lu Tianjiao was feeling desperate, a beautiful figure suddenly flashed before his eyes.
His heart suddenly lifted and he looked up.
The person who came was Nangong Rou. At this time, she changed into a brand new pink and white short skirt, tied her hair into a double flat bun, and wore a few cherry blossom hair accessories. She walked with a fragrant breeze and looked playful and cute. Not to mention Lu Tianjiao and the many male disciples passing by, Jiang Zhige was a little stunned.
"Blooming with the help of water is a wonder, bones are made of water and skin is made of jade," is a slightly inferior description for Nangong Rou.
Nangong Rou walked quickly in front of the two of them, selectively ignoring Lu Tianjiao, and asked Jiang Zhige with her hands on her waist, "Brother, I've been looking for you for an hour, why did you come first?"
Jiang Zhige looked Nangong Rou up and down, and after a long pause he said, "Rou'er, do you mean that you were late because of me?"
At this time, Nangong Rou was not only dressed up carefully, but also put on makeup for the first time in her life. It was obvious that she was delayed by dressing up like Lu Tianjiao.
However, Nangong Rou not only did not feel guilty, but she even complained first?
"What else?"
Nangong Rou gritted her teeth secretly, looking angry.
She spent so much time getting dressed, and it would have been fine if Jiang Zhige didn't praise her, but he actually picked on her for being late?
"Well, it's all my fault."
Jiang Zhige smiled awkwardly and did not argue with Nangong Rou.
Nangong Rou snorted softly, crossed her arms, walked around the two of them and headed towards the market.
Before Jiang Zhige could say anything, Lu Tianjiao followed him happily.
Jiang Zhige was speechless for a moment, and suddenly wanted to take back his praise for Lu Tianjiao not long ago.
At this moment, Lu Tianjiao was like a follower. How could he still look like a gentleman?
"The Demon Emperor spoiled Fairy Nangong too much, causing her to become a little rebellious."
"Can this be called rebellion? It's just that the Demon Emperor dotes on Fairy Nangong and the two of them have a very good relationship."
"You're right. Didn't you see that Fairy Nangong didn't even look at Lu Tianjiao? She must have dressed up so carefully for the Demon Emperor."
Perhaps because of the preconceived impression that the Demon Emperor was unforgivable, most people in the hall subconsciously favored the playful and cute Nangong Rou, especially the female Xuan realm masters.
Nangong Rou frowned. The opinions of those strong women were not wrong. Back then, almost every time she dressed up, she wanted to get Jiang Zhige's praise.
However, to this day, the affection she felt back then only makes her feel upset.
It took Nangong Rou nearly a thousand years to gradually bury these memories deep in her heart, but now they have been completely outlined out by the Sky Chain.
Thinking about Jiang Zhige's betrayal later, she said she didn't feel sad, but that was a lie.
As for hatred, after witnessing Yu Cheng's memory, Nangong Rou no longer had much hatred.
At this moment, she felt more of a lack of understanding towards Jiang Zhige, and an inexplicable difficulty in letting go.
Hearing the discussion of everyone in the hall, Qu Yun subconsciously turned his head to look at Nangong Rou. Noticing the complexity in Nangong Rou's eyes, his heart sank.
At some point, the focus of discussion in the hall changed from 'killing the Demon Emperor' to 'brother-sister love', and they seemed to have forgotten what Jiang Zhige had done during his time as the ruler of the heavens.
“This trend is not right.”
On the surface, it wasn't a bad thing for Qu Yun, but he always had a bad feeling.
In the Tianyun Pavilion market, Nangong Rou looked excitedly at the novel goods on the street.
In the Xianmen Market, even the humble roadside stalls do not sell vegetables, fruits, and melons. Each of them is enough to change the fate of a mortal in the outside world.
Passing by a stall, Nangong Rou picked up a stone curiously and asked in confusion: "Uncle, why are you selling stones too?"
Before the stall owner could start selling, Lu Tianjiao next to him quickly introduced: "Junior Sister Nangong, this thing is called Yunling Stone. As the name suggests, it contains spiritual power of varying strengths. It may contain spiritual stones or other natural treasures. It is often used for gambling and entertainment among immortals."
"Gambling? How can we still gamble when we have become immortals?"
Nangong Rouliu frowned slightly and hurriedly put the stone back.
Lu Tianjiao didn't know whether to laugh or cry. It seemed that Nangong Rou had been following Jiang Zhige for too long and her thoughts had become rigid.
Jiang Zhige, who was standing behind them, remained silent and quietly observed the two people getting along.
Along the way, he never took the initiative to disturb Nangong Rou and Lu Tianjiao, and at most he would respond to Nangong Rou occasionally.
The purpose of doing this is very simple. The three of them go out together, and Jiang Zhige naturally wants to take this opportunity to observe Lu Tianjiao's character and give Lu Tianjiao a chance.
Lu Tianjiao thought that Jiang Zhige was simply creating opportunities for him, and he cast grateful glances at Jiang Zhige from time to time.
Nangong Rou was completely unaware of what the two were thinking and was immersed in the bizarre Xianmen Market.
Because Jiang Zhige and Yao Qianji were urging her to practice, she usually had to stay at home to practice and rarely had the opportunity to come to the market to broaden her horizons.
