In the brightly lit lobby.

Except for Ouyang Rong, Pei Shisanniang, Miss Qin, and Hongxiao all looked at the sudden appearance of the girl in red clothes with surprised faces.

When she broke in, she had a look of eager concern on her face, as if she was a close person of this Nagashiro-kun.

Xie Lingjiang held the hilt of his sword in his hand and looked at Ouyang Rong, who was wearing only a plain white lining, for a while.

Miss Qin lowered her head and glanced at the men's robes, realized something, and opened her mouth to speak.

Pei Shisanniang remained calm and prepared to watch.

But Ouyang Rong suddenly raised his hand.

"ah!"

Xie Lingjiang suddenly covered his white forehead, making a sound of pain and widening his beautiful eyes.

I was rewarded with a chestnut on the spot.

Ouyang Rong waved his hand and said: "What are you guessing about? I have such a rich imagination. Let's go. It's okay."

He walked towards the door first.

Xie Lingjiang was stunned for a moment and rubbed his forehead after being knocked awake by his senior brother.

She nodded and followed honestly.

Just as he crossed the threshold, Xie Lingjiang stopped.

"Senior Brother, wait for me outside."

Wearing a fiery red dress, she turned around and rushed into the lobby again.

Ouyang Rong stood in the yard, holding his hands behind his back, looking at the moon and waiting.

After a while, Xie Lingjiang was seen walking out of the lobby again, with a moon-white men's robe in his hand, neatly folded and draped on his arms.

The girl in red dress held her sword and walked out with her head held high, leaving only a tall and graceful figure behind her in the lobby.

"Let's go, senior brother." She greeted.

Ouyang Rong nodded.

The two of them left Youlan Courtyard together.

On the way, they kept quiet and made a tacit understanding not to talk about what happened just now.

At the entrance of Xunyang Tower, Ouyang Rong and Xie Lingjiang met Wang Caozhi.

The short young man was waiting in the dimly lit area of ​​the alley with his groom and entourage.

"Sister, brother-in-law!"

Seeing the figures of Ouyang Rong and Xie Lingjiang, Wang Caozhi's eyes lit up and he came forward to greet them.

Upon hearing this address, Xie Lingjiang in the dark turned his face away slightly.

"Brother-in-law, where did you go just now? Why did you disappear as soon as I left the Narcissus Box? After searching for half a circle, only your beloved horse was still waiting outside."

Wang Cao had a worried look on his face.

Ouyang Rong saw a groom pulling Dongmei out behind him.

"Something happened just now. I received an invitation at the last minute...It's okay now."

Ouyang Rong shook his head.

"It's okay."

Wang Caozhi breathed a sigh of relief and didn't ask any more questions. He just complained a little:

"Just now, Sister Jiang suddenly rushed in to see you, and asked me where you were with a worried look on her face. I didn't know how to answer, and I obviously didn't have any plans for the second half...ahem."

His mutterings gradually became quieter, and under Xie Lingjiang's dangerous gaze, he covered his mouth and coughed twice, then shut up obediently.

"It's okay now. Thank you for your concern. You can go back first."

Ouyang Rong said with a smile to Wang Caozhi.

"Okay, brother-in-law, I won't disturb you and Sister Lingjiang anymore. You can chat slowly and meet again later. I'm leaving now."

Before Xie Lingjiang's long legs showed signs of being kicked, Wang Caozhi shrank his head and ran away.

Dongmei, who lowered her head and snorted, was left on the spot.

Ouyang Rong went to lead the horse.

Xie Lingjiang followed silently.

At the entrance of the alley, silence returned to the room between the two senior fellow apprentices.

Wait until you reach a place with slightly brighter lights.

Ouyang Rong turned to look at Xie Lingjiang, looking up and down calmly.

Today, the junior sister wore a floor-length peach red dress that is popular among aristocratic ladies. She also wore an elegant wine-colored make-up. The dimples on her cheeks were dotted with two charming dimples. If she looked carefully, she actually had a light makeup on.

Rouge and thin powder... I dressed up specially to go out.

But at this moment, there was a layer of fine sweat on her forehead, and her well-groomed phoenix crown hair was a bit messy.

Apparently it was because I was looking for him in a hurry just now.

Before that, the two had clearly agreed that she would be a graceful lady, gentle and well-behaved in Xunyang City.

Ouyang Rong's eyes silently moved away from the long sword on Xie Lingjiang's waist that did not match the lady's dress:

There was no blame on his face, on the contrary, he looked a little guilty.

"Eldest brother, don't look at it. Your makeup is all gone. What's there to look good at?"

Xie Lingjiang turned sideways and raised the men's robe in his hand to cover his face.

Ouyang Rong nodded:

"When I called you with the skirt knife, I thought you were far away from Xunyang Prince's Mansion in Chaisangfang, and it would take a while to arrive."

Xie Lingjiang bit his lip: "When the sensor was detected, I was not far outside Xunyang Tower. I heard tonight...I heard that this guy Wang Caozhi came to Xunyang City. I was going to come over and have a look to see if this guy was there.

Listen to Senior Brother."

Ouyang Rong raised his eyebrows slightly and looked at her more.

After thinking about it, he still didn't ask the younger junior sister why she dressed so solemnly and came here specifically to make friends with her clan brothers.

Don't expose her.

"It was just a misunderstanding."

Ouyang Rong changed the topic and briefly told Pei Shisanniang's story.

Xie Lingjiang, who originally pretended to be nonchalant, couldn't help but turn his head as he listened, his expression extremely serious.

"It turns out it's a beauty trap."

Xie Lingjiang nodded and concluded.

Ouyang Rong shrugged his shoulders: "Who would have thought that the top-notch husbandman who sells his art but not his body would come here. That Pei Shisanniang has some tricks and knows how to manipulate women."

"Elder brother is so powerful, yet so young and handsome."

Xie Lingjiang looked at him sideways and praised:

"Maybe it's because I was impressed by the charm of senior brother."

She smiled and said in a nonchalant tone:

"Well, the young man is powerful and the young lady is pretty, so it's considered your love and my love."

"Whatever you want me to do, I don't want to."

"Like a jade beauty, a spring beauty playing a pipa, a man and a woman alone, isn't it possible that my senior brother is not moved at all?"

Heartbeat?

Ouyang Rong wanted to say that he only moved a little bit, but he was firmly held down by a skirt knife.

How dare you raise your head?

"Not moved." He shook his head firmly without hesitation.

"Why is this?"

Xie Lingjiang bent his index finger, tapped his red lips, looked at his senior brother, his voice was like a cat, and he was a little persuasive:

"To get such a well-known and sought-after number one Qinghuan from Xunyang to volunteer his life, Senior Brother is really not tempted at all?

"Well, I'm a woman, so I can't help but be a little tempted. I just wish I wasn't a man."

"Don't be tempted."

Ouyang Rong still shook his head firmly and said softly: "Because I know that there is an important person waiting for me outside."

Xie Jinjiang choked and the smile disappeared from his face.

Her voice was trembling: "What...some important person?"

"My little junior sister."

Ouyang Rong smiled brightly and paused:
To be continued...
