Color is like floating clouds

Author: Shui Qianche

When Mi August walked to the third floor deck, the floating boat was just about to set sail.

The view here is very good. I saw the translucent paddles on both sides of the boat unfolded and extended to double the length. It was as stunning and beautiful as I imagined.

One person walked up to her. Mi August noticed the other person when he got closer, but did not look back.

Gong Yishu leaned his elbows on the deck railing, followed Mi's line of sight and glanced at the blades before looking back, "What's so good about this?"

Mi August said openly: "This is the first time we meet."

Gongyi Shu seems to be smiling but not smiling, and he doesn't bother to explore whether her words are true or false.

Anyway, there are contradictions everywhere in her body, and the more you explore, the more you fall into an abyss.

After watching it for a while, Mi August turned his attention to Gongyi Shu and found that although he was smiling, his face was clearly unhappy, so he asked: "What is it that makes you unhappy but you don't do anything about it?"

According to Gongyi Shu's personality, whenever he feels unhappy, he will directly take action. And as soon as he takes action, his emotions will be vented quickly and will not be brought to his face.

It's obvious that he is depressed now.

Gongyi Shu sneered, "A thousand dollars hurt."

Mi August showed interest and motioned for him to continue.

The Book of Righteousness also did not hide his thoughts, "It is not good for him to break through when, it must be when I have just made a breakthrough."

At first glance, these words sounded like Gongyi Shu was petty, and his anger was unreasonable, which made him appear stingy. But Mi August soon understood the real dissatisfaction Gongyi Shu wanted to express: Yin Qian injured his famous

Chance.

When he first arrived in Lingzhou, Suo Wuchang had hinted that fame would be beneficial to a spiritual master's cultivation. Mi August also noticed the importance of fame in various classics.

This importance is not noticeable in the early stages of a spiritual master, but it seems to become particularly important when you reach advanced levels. Mi August has not yet found a 100% answer to the specific importance and role of it, but he already has some guesses in his mind.

People from aristocratic families like Gongyi Shu must have known the secrets early on, so they worked harder to gain fame and fortune.

When he broke through to become a one-star spiritual master and became a disciple of Shu Pingsheng, he made an advertisement to the outside world, aiming to become the first among the sons of Tongtian to break through to an official spiritual master before Mi August.

Although Mi August caught up later, he lagged behind for a while until he broke through the two-star mark a few days ago. But it is quite fast in terms of speed, and it will definitely gain a lot of attention if it is publicized.

As a result, within a few days of the publicity, Yin Qiansheng broke through four and shocked the audience, directly overwhelming all the recent hot news.

Compared with Yin Qianshang who entered the intermediate level as a spiritual master, even though Gongyi Shu was promoted very quickly, he was still overwhelmed.

In addition, from a low-level spiritual master to a mid-level spiritual master, it is a big step. The Yinhuan Mansion held a grand banquet for Yin Qianshang, with congratulations and gifts from all directions, and a Yinhuan auction. The scene was really grand.

For a time, Yin Qianshang became famous in Lingzhou after being the ten-year-old son of Tongtian and a ten-year-old spiritual master ten years ago. Then after many years of silence, he once again made everyone remember his name with a sweeping gesture, or in other words, he was remembered at this time.

The name of the residence has been deepened.

"I don't know what secret technique Yin Qian Shang has cultivated. Everyone in the world has been deceived by him. Anything that hurts his foundation and died prematurely must be fake. The ten years of silence are just for now, to make a blockbuster success."

Mi August heard the conversation of several inner disciples standing not far away. The disciple who said this was echoed by the fellow disciples around him.

No matter what the truth is, what this disciple said now is what most people think.

Mi August looked at the book of justice next to him, which was unhappy about being "highly searched", and said with a smile: "Then you are still going to celebrate him?"

"Of course I want to celebrate." The smile on Gongyi Shu's mouth widened and became even more crazy, "Congratulations with a knife."

Mi August: "Two stars versus four stars, you are not afraid of being beaten to death."

The book of justice is quite calm, "You can't die, you will be disabled for a period of time at most."

Mi August understood that the advantage of having a good family background is that it is not easy to die if you take the initiative to commit suicide.

"By the way." Gongyi Shu glanced at her, "In addition to giving gifts and participating in the Silver Ring Auction, I will go to Miaomiao Mountain later to use the Miaomiao Lotus. Do you want to go with me?"

"That's my plan too," Mi August said with a smile, without mentioning another gift for his teacher.

The two of them stopped chatting after that, and Mi August went down to the first floor to observe the mystery of the paddles more closely. Gongyi Shu was not interested in this thing, so he gave her an incomprehensible look and waved away.

It was almost lunch time, and I didn't know who told the handsome young man her whereabouts, so I went to Mi August to inform her that she could have lunch.

As long as he is not obsessed with studying a certain experiment and forgets to eat and sleep, Mi August will always maintain the habit of eating three meals a day and return to his residence after being reminded.

This time, the handsome young man arranged the lunch and left quietly. He probably realized that Mi August was really not interested in this aspect, so he behaved quite appropriately.

When Mi August finished lunch, he rang the bell to let him in to clean up, but the other party didn't make any special gesture.

When I went out again in the afternoon, I saw the young man guarding the door again and did not leave.

Mi August was deep in thought and did not let him follow him, nor did he say anything to chase them away.

The pontoon is more lively at night than during the day, and there are more people on the deck than during the day.

The light of the glazed lanterns matches the starry night sky. No wonder the sight is so beautiful that it makes people linger.

On the deck, there were disciples sitting on the floor, low tables with cushions, fine wine and delicacies, and beauties...

In addition to being more beautiful, this scene is actually no different from the scenes in the mortal mainland where nobles and nobles paint boats for fun.

When the secular continent was in a state of refinement, they composed poems and composed poems. At this time, some of the inner disciples sitting next to each other also composed poems and poems. However, they really had their own beauty in the book, and their own golden house in the book.

I saw a man unfolding a painting, and in the painting a beautiful woman came out. Her eyebrows were like distant mountains, and her eyes were like autumn water. She was not a beautiful face, but she had a pitiful temperament. As soon as she lowered her eyes, people couldn't help but feel pity.

, especially because he was in a weak and weak state. When he came out, he bent his knees and lay on the legs of the man who was sitting cross-legged, and couldn't stop talking.

There was a pretty girl waiting on the other side of the man. When she saw the woman in the painting, she looked a little ugly.

"Look, I would say that this maid is very beautiful, but she is not as charming as my delicate one." The man stroked the hair of the girl in the painting on his lap, and proudly showed off to his fellow disciples. He got

Fellow disciples nodded in agreement.

The serving girl's expression became even more frustrated, and her lips tightened.

The picture is beautiful, whether it is the scenery or the people, but once you understand certain truths, you can notice the corruption and ferocity beneath this beauty.

Mi August looked at the woman in the painting on the man's lap.

This is a painted skin.

Artifact.

Judging from the solidity of the painting's skin, it shows that the person who originally had this appearance and body was almost eaten.

The charming red sleeves in this male disciple's mouth represent a living human life. The other party said it in an extremely relaxed tone, and the speaker did not mean it, and the listener did not take it seriously.

As if aware of Mi August's gaze, 'Huapi' looked in her direction, with greed in his eyes that were always filled with mist.

Are you attracted to her skin? Mi August smiled lightly.

‘Painted Skin’ trembled, his pupils tightened, and he suddenly lost his image.

"What's wrong?" The man noticed that his head was shaking in his hands, and he looked up and saw Mi August. His slutty expression calmed down, he became serious and bowed to Mi August, glanced at the painted skin at his feet, looked at Mi August again, and asked tentatively

: "Mi August, are you interested in this painting?"

Mi August returned the favor, but did not answer the man's words.

The man smiled and said, "If you like it, I will give it to you."

Hua Pi suddenly grabbed the man's trousers as if he was frightened, and tears flashed in his eyes, which made him look even more charming.

The man was not moved at all and waved his hand to send it back to the painting.

Only then did Mi August say, "Thank you for your kindness, but no need."

The man did not give up, "You don't have to be polite to me. Even if you enter the inner gate and break through the second star as a congratulatory gift, I have never had the chance to interact with you before."

Mi August shook his head and said with a smile: "It's just that you chose this trick well. I prefer to create it myself than give it to others."

After being complimented on his aesthetics and sensing Mi August's desire for exclusivity, the man gave up his intention of giving gifts and invited Mi August to sit with him.

Mi August was not interested and did not stay on this lively deck any longer.

After she left, several inner disciples at that table started chatting.

"It's a pity, it's really not easy to get along with her."

"She looks gentle, polite, and easy to get along with, but in fact she doesn't make much difference."

"The only people in the inner sect who can talk to her are Gongyi Shu and Gouzhi, and each one is better than the other."

"I saw an attendant at her door but she didn't bring him out. It seems that she doesn't like him."

The next day, Mi August found that the person who knocked on the door and came in to deliver tea had changed.

This time it was a handsome man with fair skin and droopy eyes. He was somewhere between a young man and a teenager. He seemed to have a clear and innocent temperament.

But when the young man blushed, leaned against her casually, and stared at her with watery eyes, Mi August felt the need to chat with the person behind him.

She wanted to find the steward who was responsible for assigning the attendants. The young man who was asked to deliver the message turned pale for a moment and knelt on the ground directly begging her to let her go.

Mi August interrupted him to beg for mercy. His calm tone was convincing but did not allow for criticism. "You just go and send the message. I don't want to blame you."

The young man left obediently with red eyes, and soon the steward came up.

Mi August saw Lin Qi and raised his eyebrows.

Lin Qi saluted, called her Senior Sister, and explained in the first sentence, "I didn't arrange the person, it was just that the steward thought he was doing bad things with good intentions, and violated Senior Sister's taboo and did not dare to come, so let me say

intercede."

Lin Qi smiled and said: "I guess senior sister will not be angry about this, but she just doesn't like these attentive arrangements."

Mi August nodded, not deliberately embarrassing him, and asked him to sit down and drink tea together.

Lin Qi followed the good example and continued to talk about the current matter, "Since senior sister doesn't like this, I will arrange for a sensible person to come when I get back." Then he brushed his sister's face again, "I had known that senior sister would be on the list for this trip.

If it is successful, I will let Lin Dai apply."

Mi August said: "I wanted to ask you why you are here."

Lin Qi said: "Old students like us from the outer sect have already started to get involved in some affairs of the academy. Senior sister also knows that I have served in the General Affairs Pavilion of the outer sect before. For this trip to the inner sect, there are some quotas for the outer sect to apply for. These quotas

It is very rare for us outer disciples, and I was able to get it only through the help of my senior sister."

Since Mi August entered the inner gate, he has had less contact with her and has not even seen her once. Now that he finally has a chance to see her again, Lin Qi spared no effort to flatter and get closer to her. However, he knows how to deal with Mi August.

There's something familiar about it, and the attentiveness is not annoying.

Moreover, Lin Qi’s words are true. After Mi August went to the inner sect, his status among the outer sect did not weaken but improved. The reason is that everyone knows that he is one of the few people in the outer sect who can talk to Mi August.

Talk to someone and keep in touch with them.

Mi August said: "Since the quota is so rare, what's going on with those attendants?"

Lin Qi hesitated for half a second, "I will tell the truth to Senior Sister. If I offend Senior Sister, please forgive me."

"Sister, I was so focused on studying in the outer sect that I probably didn't pay much attention to the new disciples of the same class. Some of these servants are the new disciples of the outer sect, and some of them were selected and trained by the stewards early on, specifically for service.

The one who serves.”

"After these people are selected, they are all excellent in appearance, temperament and how they treat others, and then they can be selected to travel on the pontoon."

"They were very clear about what they were going to do. Both parties signed a contract, and there was no example of deception or abduction."

"As for the inner sect brothers and sisters, most of them are actually aware of this kind of operation." Lin Qi looked at Mi August. It was obvious that this senior sister who came here from the Mortal Continent did not understand this unspoken rule.

However, seeing that Mi August looked calm and not angry, Lin Qi continued, "When I was studying in the academy and practicing, this kind of transactions were not frequent. Once I came to the academy, there were rules everywhere, and if I was not careful, I would commit a violation and die.

, and secondly, when the teacher finds out, even though he doesn’t blame him, it’s still not a good thing, and he will be evaluated as someone who dwells on lust and doesn’t know how to make progress.”

"It's different when you go out. This is equivalent to a vacation. You have been practicing hard in the academy before, but now you are relaxed and relaxed. Even the leader of the trip will turn a blind eye and acquiesce in the behavior of the disciples.

The right should be ignored.”

Lin Qi finished speaking.

Mi August also understood the reason for the excitement on the deck, "I see."

Lin Qi said in a joking tone: "Senior sister, I don't know that the attendants sent to you are the best. In order to show their faces in front of senior sister, the top few are fighting over each other."

Mi August smiled, not rejecting this ambiguous topic, nor was he embarrassed or fond of it, he was just calm and calm.

Lin Qi: "Because Senior Sister didn't drive the person away, but she didn't get close to him, so the manager couldn't guess what Senior Sister was thinking, so he kept the person there. Then he learned that Senior Sister had praised Senior Brother Lu's painting last night, thinking that

Senior sister likes people with that style, so we changed people this morning."

In fact, even if Lin Qi hadn't said anything, Mi August had already guessed the reason for the substitution this morning from his previous words.

Let’s not talk about whether the manager has good intentions and does bad things. He has really put a lot of effort into her, paying attention to her every move, every word and every action. If you meet a really nice person, there is a high probability that he will be very satisfied with her.

various arrangements.

Mi August asked Lin Qi to send a message on her behalf, stating that she had no intention of doing this kind of transaction. Not only did it save the stewards from arranging relevant manpower, but it also prevented the independent disciples from having any thoughts about her and then doing some annoying things.

thing.

——This is not because Mi August is being sentimental, but from what Lin Qi said, it can be seen that this kind of transaction is more blatant in Lingzhou, and everyone knows it well, and can obtain an exchange of equivalent value on the surface.

This also shows that under certain circumstances, this kind of equivalent exchange behavior will be more bold, such as showing some sweetness to the buyer as a temptation first.

Lin Qi agreed and said he would handle the matter properly, and the exchange between the two ended here.

About ten minutes after Lin Qi left, a beautiful woman came to Mi August. If nothing else happened, she would be responsible for Mi August's chores for the rest of the trip.

The woman calls herself Bamboo Fish and is usually very quiet. She smiles every time she talks to Mi August and does not say or do unnecessary things.

In the next few days, Mi August went out again. The men and women she met on the road no longer secretly made seductive gestures. Even the disciples of the inner sect looked at her differently. No one invited her to drink or listen to music at the same table.

Yes, he would restrain his wanton behavior a little after seeing her appear. It can only be because they have also heard some information.

After going out for the past few days, Mi August also found that there was a night banquet on the deck every night, and it became more and more indulgent every time. She stopped going out, so that Zhu Yu would not have to wait for the rest of the time and could return to her own residence.

"Do you want spiritual crystals or elixirs?" Mi August remembers Lin Qi saying that it is not easy for these disciples to come here. Serving people is also a kind of equal transaction, even if her transaction with Zhuyu is not an unspoken rule.

That way, you should also be paid for this period of time.

Zhuyu was stunned for a moment, then he was surprised and happy, "Thank you, senior sister. It's just senior sister, can I change it to something else?"

"What do you want?" Mi August said.

Zhuyu said: "I have heard that senior sister is very knowledgeable. Back then..." She was so excited that she was about to count Mi August's feat of scoring points in the outer door, but she stopped when she saw Mi August's calm eyes, and realized that she

After talking too much nonsense, I quickly went straight to the topic, "I have a few questions for my teacher."

"Say." Mi August said.

Zhuyu quickly expressed his questions about cultivation.

As soon as she asked the question, Mi August could answer it.

The questions and answers were answered very quickly, with several questions taking less than three minutes.

Zhuyu knew that he would accept it as soon as it was good, and he was grateful again and again, "Thank you, senior sister, thank you very much, senior sister."

Mi August nodded.

"Senior sister, can I continue to stay here?" Zhuyu asked nervously, knowing that Mi August didn't like to dawdle, and then explained: "The third floor is the best place on the pontoon, the spiritual energy is richer and stronger than below.

Stable. In fact, what I just wanted to say is that it doesn’t matter even if Senior Sister doesn’t give me any reward, I’ve already made money by being able to come to the third floor to serve Senior Sister.”

She blushed as she spoke, as if ashamed.

Mi August didn't want to explore whether her blush was real or not, "It's up to you, but whatever you do next has nothing to do with me."

What this means is that the deal between the two of them is over. It’s okay for Zhuyu to stay on the third floor by using her identity as a servant. But if he has some small thoughts and tries to do something in her name, the consequences will be disastrous.

It’s up to the bamboo fish to bear it themselves.

Zhuyu understood and said fearfully: "I understand, thank you Senior Sister, I will not let Senior Sister down."

Mi August opened the door and walked in. He had already returned to Chunfeng Palace.

Zhuyu was waiting outside. When it was time to finish work on weekdays, no matter how reluctant she was, she had to go back to her original residence according to the rules. Of course, some people who were called into the house by the third-floor residents did not have to abide by this rule.

Bamboo Fish originally had an average status on the second floor, but since he was assigned to serve Mi August, every time he returns to the second floor, he will receive a different courtesy than before.

People passing by would greet her, and the bamboo fish would respond, and they would find Lin Qi's residence along the way.

Lin Qi happened to be in the house, and when he heard that she was coming, he opened the door to let her in.

As soon as Zhuyu came in, he thanked Lin Qi and said, "Senior Brother Xie Lin reminded me that Senior Sister Mi is indeed a kind-hearted person with a gentle temper and easy to get along with."

"You still do this here." Lin Qi smiled half-heartedly, "Even if you don't say this, Senior Sister Mi won't do anything to you."

Zhuyu smiled flatteringly, and then told what happened to Mi August, along with the solution Mi August gave her.

There were so many disciples at the lower level, and there were not many who were better than her. The reason why she chose to be with Mi August was not because of Lin Qi, but also because she and Lin Dai were good friends.

Bamboo Fish has a good habit of being well informed and not greedy when it comes to giving.

Lin Qi accepted what she had gained, then her face became serious and her tone turned into a warning, "Since Senior Sister allows you to continue waiting, you should remember Senior Sister's kindness and don't do unnecessary things. Otherwise, I don't need Senior Sister to take action. I will deal with it first."

you."

Zhuyu responded quickly, "Senior brother, don't worry, I won't be stupid."

Lin Qi stared at her for a while, and after getting Zhuyu's assurance several times, he let her go.

The floating boat traveled for a few more days, and along the way, they gradually encountered teams from other forces, and they had some exchanges with each other. Someone mentioned Mi August, and the news they got was that she stayed in the house and never came out, and she didn't know what she was doing.

Due to some taboos in Lingzhou, it would not be good if the other party was disturbed while he was meditating, so when there was no friendship with each other, no one went out of his way to knock on Mi August's door to invite someone.

During the daily lively night banquet, the floating boat arrived at the headquarters of Yinhuan Prefecture.

On this Valentine’s Day, we are determined to be single in August!!!

Handsome men and beauties: OK, OK, OK! If you don’t eat the meat delivered to your door, are you still a human being?!
Chapter completed!
