Chapter 41

Are you willing?

Author: Bai Xiaoyuan

Are you willing?

With Chu Yan around, the biggest inconvenience for Shen Lingxi was that Liu Si could only communicate with her at a long distance.

As soon as the group of people entered the temple, Liu Si stood far away and shouted to Shen Lingxi, "There is a secret room under the Changsheng Pavilion. He put some incense in the incense burner to stun you and throw it in." , I also sent a letter to people flying pigeons to inform people that I want to send you away secretly."

This time, the magpie also learned to be smart and followed Liu Si, not daring to come forward easily.

She reminded with an uneasy look on her face, "The secret passages in this Taoist temple extend in all directions. They were used by a real man to make money and kill many people. Shen Liang chose to practice Taoism here because he liked its layout. You should be more careful yourself."

Shen Lingxi raised her eyebrows, showing a rare look of surprise.

Magpie turned his head and said, "I'm not helping you, I just want to see Shen Liang get killed by you."

Shen Lingxi nodded slightly to Liu Si, indicating that she heard, and then looked away, listening casually to Shen Liang's greetings with Mu Huaian and Shen Yuyao.

Chu Yan kept paying attention to her expression and followed her gaze into the distance, but saw nothing.

Just like that day in Wan Guan Fang.

She would always look somewhere inexplicably, as if there was something there.

"What was Manager Shen... communicating with just now?" he asked in a low voice, his gentle and clear voice filled with curiosity.

Shen Lingxi glanced at Shen Liang walking in front.

Seeing that although he was talking to Shen Yuyao, he was always paying attention to his side, so he stood on tiptoes, leaned close to Chu Yan's ear, covered his lips and whispered: "Do you want to know? Stretch out your hand and I will tell you."

Chu Yan didn't expect that she would suddenly come so close, and a sweet breath rushed into the tip of his nose, making him subconsciously turn aside.

But soon, thinking that he had to "cooperate" today, he calmed down and stretched out his hand.

Shen Lingxi took out a pearl-sized pill from her purse, quickly put it into his palm, and closed his fingers.

The moment his fingertips touched, Chu Yan was in a rare daze.

Shen Lingxi approached him again and whispered in his ear, "Just now a dead soul told me that someone will release some incense later. If you smell the aroma, find an opportunity to take the antidote."

Dead soul.

Chu Yan stood up straight, keeping a safe distance from her, and his eyes became distant for a moment.

Although the look in his eyes did not express it clearly, it was enough to express his attitude.

Shen Lingxi smiled slightly at him.

Precisely because she guessed that he would have such a reaction, she told the truth.

She knew that His Highness the Crown Prince of Great Zhou never believed in ghosts and gods.

And she has always been a sincere person.

The two people's flirting behavior was so conspicuous that even Shen Liang could no longer turn a blind eye.

"I've never seen this husband before, so I don't know what to call him?" he asked with a smile.

Shen Lingxi's cheeks were filled with red clouds, "This is Ning Liulang, from Sioux City."

When Mu Huaian saw her acting like this again, he knew that she intended to "get close" to Chu Yan. She was definitely not pure in her thoughts, and she couldn't care less about being jealous. He agreed, "This is my distant cousin. I happened to meet him at the foot of the mountain today, so we went together." Coming up the mountain."

"When I first arrived in the capital, I heard about the reputation of the Temple of Immortality, so I came here to pay a visit. When I saw it today, it was indeed well-deserved." Chu Yan showed off his scholarly style and was very formal.

Shen Liang smiled and nodded. Thinking of the rumors that had just spread from the mountainside, he already understood that Shen Lingxi had taken a liking to this scholar.

He is good at maneuvering and knows how to go along with what others want, not to mention that he is a person who likes to use the word "emotion" to win over women to do things for him.

Seeing this, he began to think in his mind whether he should tie up the scholar together and make it look like an "elopement". This would cover the eyes of others and allow Shen Lingxi to work for them with peace of mind.

When Shen Lingxi saw that he had taken the bait, the smile on her lips deepened.

It's like an open-book scientific examination.

The answers were all placed in front of him. A habitual cheater in the examination room, no matter what his original plan was, he would definitely choose the best answer and copy it.

The Changsheng Pavilion is the attic where Changsheng Temple entertains distinguished guests. It is located deep in the bamboo forest, the most tranquil part of the Taoist temple, and the environment is very quiet.

Although it is midsummer, the pavilion is open on all sides and the breeze blows, giving it an elegant charm.

Since Shen Lingxi knew that the incense was placed in the incense burner, there must be nothing wrong with the meal, so she could eat with peace of mind. During the meal, she even glanced at Chu Yan pretending to be "shy and timid" from time to time.

After this back and forth, not to mention Shen Liang, even Mu Huaian had some doubts as to whether she was really interested in Chu Yan.

Shen Yuyao was naturally happy to see Shen Lingxi secretly expressing her love for Ning Liulang, so that no one would compete with her for Mu Huaian, and therefore she worked harder to show her courtesy to Mu Huaian during the dinner.

Shen Liang had a panoramic view of the two people's expressions, and became even more determined in his thoughts.

After having tea and dinner, Shen Liang introduced with a smile, "The view of longevity is the most effective way to seek marriage. There is a spiritual spring in the bamboo forest called Butterfly Spring. As long as you play the piano by the spring, you can attract butterflies to play. If you attract If the number of butterflies is even, you can get a good marriage. Girls four and five, do you want to give it a try?"

Play the piano.

Shen Yuyao is the best at playing the piano. It is obvious that he wants to lure Shen Yuyao and her many servants out.

"Mu Shaoqing and Fourth Sister, let's go. I want to go to the side room to have a rest." Shen Lingxi looked sleepy and winked at Mu Huaian.

Mu Huaian pursed his lips. He was extremely unhappy, but he knew he had to go. He stood up and walked out without even bothering to say hello.

When Shen Yuyao saw this, she quickly stood up, exchanged a few words with Shen Lingxi, and then followed her with a group of people.

Chu Yan tried to stand up, but Shen Lingxi gently grabbed his sleeve, "Liu Lang, please go slowly, I have something to tell you."

When Shen Liang saw this, the smile on his face deepened, "You young people have a good chat, I'll go watch the four girls playing the piano." After that, he left with a smile.

Shen Lingxi and Chu Yan were the only two people left in the entire attic. Without others, there was no need to act, so both of them rarely fell silent.

One looked east and the other looked west. They all picked up the tea cup on the table and drank tea.

Until Liu Si's voice came from far away, "Girl, he has led a few men in black into the secret passage, and he is about to come under you."

Shen Lingxi then put down the tea cup, calmly poured some pills from her purse and held them in her hands, stood up and walked to Chu Yan.

"Liu Lang, why do you always ignore me? Do you know that from the first time I saw you, I have been very happy with you. Today, since you and I met at the Changsheng Temple, I simply asked you in person. Are you willing to... marry me?"

Chu Yan:......

He took half a step back and said, "Marriage is an important matter that is ordered by parents. How can a matchmaker's words be used to make a private decision for life? For the sake of the girl's reputation, please be careful what you say."

"As long as you are willing to marry me, I will go back to my hometown now, ask my father to agree to our marriage, and then find a matchmaker... Let Mu Shaoqing be the matchmaker. Doesn't this follow the orders of my parents and the words of a matchmaker? ?”

Shen Lingxi took two steps, grabbed his sleeve, and asked, "You just need to answer me, are you willing to marry me?"
