The air in Yanling in early winter is wet and cold, and the locust trees have not yet withered.

The white locust flowers fell on the branches, and a faint fragrance of flowers came.

Xiao Qi and the bearded man sat next to the stone table under the locust tree, holding a glass of wine in their hands and drinking.

The beard was poured in bite after bite. The strong wine was fragrant and spicy. His face, which was covered by his beard, was flushed.

Xiao Qi was playing with the exquisite and small white porcelain cup in his hand. He didn't drink, and his eyes always fell on Lin Zhaoyan not far away.

The bearded man took another sip of wine. After seeing Xiao Qi who was not here, he yelled at him with dissatisfaction, "Don't look at it, it's yours, it's yours, it won't run away, it's not yours, even if you see a flower coming, you won't get it! Come on, drink with me! Let's have a good time today, and don't go back if you don't get drunk!"

Xiao Qi looked at him sideways and said blankly: "Drinking alcohol makes a mistake. I never drink alcohol outside."

The bearded scolded him, "If you don't drink, you are still a man! A little brat, pretending to be deep in front of me all day long. Do you think I am really afraid of you. When I pretend to be deep, you are still in the womb! If I ask you to drink, you drink it. After all, I am your woman's master. I don't give you any face?"

Xiao Qi was still faint, "Whether a man is not determined by drinking. On the contrary, I feel that men who have pain in their hearts but can only express themselves by drinking are the least promising."

The beard choked, and the bitterness that was wanted to be expressed by drunkenness was blocked in the throat. After a long time, he took another sip of wine and said to himself: "Yes, you are right. A man who can only numb himself by drinking is indeed the most unreliable, haha. Anyway, I am unreliable. I just hope you remember what you said today and don't do such unreliable things in the future!"

"I'm not you." Xiao Qi mocked him mercilessly, "I won't wait until I lose it before regretting it. Such affection is worse than bullshit."

"You!" The bearded man's eyes were red, but he was inappropriate and could not say a single rebuttal.

Xiao Qi sneered, turned his head and continued to stare at Lin Zhaoyan, never looking at him again.

The bearded man was silent for a while, and finally sighed a long time. He put away his anger towards Xiao Qi or himself.

He also looked at Lin Zhaoyan.

The elegant and beautiful little girl is only thirteen or fourteen years old and has a thin body, but she is squatting there with her horse stance. She feels bravery and stubbornness from her bones.

The cold wind outside blew her hair and skirt.

It was obviously a funny move, but he felt a little sad.

"Can you and this girl succeed in the future?" He suddenly turned to Xiao Qi and asked.

Xiao Qi frowned.

The bearded man continued, "If you can succeed, then go and propose marriage and treat others well in the future. If you can't succeed, you should break the relationship as soon as possible. She is just a simple little girl and cannot bear your ambition."

Xiao Qi was stunned, then pulled the corner of his lips, "I am worthy of being a student of Mr. Xu, the former meritorious lady. In just half a day, you already know who I am."

The beard also pulled the corners of his lips, "If I had accepted it myself, I would have died a thousand or eight hundred times." He teased again: "You are worthy of being the son of Prince Xiao. Even the emperor can't find out where I am, but you have such great ability."

Xiao Qi was able to find Xue Shenzhi's address entirely by the power of Xujiazhuang. Xue Shenzhi hid in the Jiangnan area over the years. If there were no Xujiazhuang, where informants were spread all over the world, it would be impossible to find it with Xiao Qi's own strength.

However, he did not intend to explain these things to Xue Shenzhi. What he was curious about was how Lu Yanzhi, a son of a nobleman, could find Xue Shenzhi back then.

"Mr. This is a bit funny. If I am not mistaken, Mr. has taken a student over the years and an ordinary noble son can find out where his husband is. How could he not find out if my dignified relatives?"

Xue Shenzhi looked at Xiao Qi in surprise, "Do you know Zi Pei?"

Zi Pei? It should be Lu Yanzhi's word.

Xiao Qi curled his lips, "I can't tell you what you know, I've just met one or two times. Perhaps it's Mr. Cheng's talent, and I admire him very much."

Xue Shenzhi smiled, "Zi Pei is indeed a good material, and like you, he looks like he has experienced thousands of fans at a young age. I don't know what's wrong with you young people now."

Lu Yanzhi has experienced thousands of sails?

Xiao Qi frowned. As far as he knew, Lu Yanzhi was a spoiled young master, the eldest son, the reputation of the capital of Jinghua, the love of the elders in his family, and the admiration of brothers and sisters. In his life with such a smooth sailing, what should he have, and how could he experience thousands of sails?

"Sir, can you tell him his identity?" Xiao Qi asked.

Xue Shenzhi nodded, "Of course I know, but what does this have to do with identity and family background? You are the son of the prince, and you are more charming than him. Isn't it a mortality that the whole world has offended you?" As he said that, he glanced at Lin Zhaoyan and added, "Oh, no, there is still an exception."

Xiao Qi laughed coldly.

He is so sweet and pampered? He really doesn't know what it feels like.

Maybe ask Xiao Ming to tell him the specific answer.

"Hey, okay, okay, I won't discuss Zi Pei anymore. You haven't answered what I just asked you!" Xue Shenzhi waved his hand and pulled back the topic of "Can you succeed with this Miss Lin?"

"What do you have to do with you?" Xiao Qi rolled his eyes to avoid this question.

Xue Shenzhi refused to give in, "Why is it not my business? If you ask her to come to me to learn martial arts, then I will be her master. If you are a teacher for a lifetime, how can I not care about it? If you will hurt her in the future, give up as soon as possible!"

Xiao Qi frowned in disgust, "It's not your turn to ask about my private affairs."

Xue Shenzhi laughed sarcastically, "You just said that I am not a man. Look, you are a man who escapes like this? Since you can't give her happiness, don't start this relationship. As the saying goes, long pain is worse than short pain."

"Why are you talking so much nonsense?" Xiao Qi was a little angry and glared at Xue Shenzhi with a gloomy face, "Don't treat everyone as you, and don't impose your relationship with her on us."

When Xue Shenzhi mentioned "her", he immediately choked.

After a while, he said, "I understand."

After saying that, he paused, and seemed to struggle between his eyebrows, but in the end he tried to say, "I really can't control the relationship between you, but as her master, I must remind you one thing, that is, she has no life in this life."

"What?" Xiao Qi was stunned and looked at him with a heavy gaze.

Xue Shenzhi gritted his teeth and explained, "In layman's terms, she did not have the life to be the queen."

Xiao Qi's eyes suddenly became cold, and the beautiful thoughts that had been before instantly condensed into ice.

No phoenix life...

Xue Shenzhi saw his expression change and sighed, "Your fate is too complicated, I can't see through it, but at least one thing I know is that Miss Lin can't fly to the branches and can't be a phoenix. So, either you can't realize your ambitions or she can't become your woman. You can only choose one of the mountains and beauty."

Xue Shenzhi's voice was very light, but the content in the words was as sharp as a blade, and every word cut off a person's heart, like Lingchi.

Xiao Qi subconsciously looked at Lin Zhaoyan.

Such a thin little girl had a straight back. She looked very painful, but her eyes were still firm.

She was wearing a goose yellow long dress, and in the sun, she was like a fragrant gladiolus, exuding a unique fragrance.

In his mind, she was really like a beam of light, a flower, which could reach his heart and bloom with gorgeous flowers.

Perhaps his eyes were too eager, and Lin Zhaoyan, who was originally immersed in martial arts practice, also felt it. Then he looked at him, his eyes met him, and then raised his lips and smiled.

Red lips and white teeth, bright eyes and favor, and the sunshine in the sky is shining brightly.

Her smile was so bright and beautiful.

But Xiao Qi felt that no matter how beautiful the sunshine was, it could not reach his heart anymore.

The flowers blooming in his heart seemed to wither in an instant.

There is only one choice between a country and a beauty...

"My relationship with her is not what you imagined." Xiao Qi avoided Lin Zhaoyan's gaze and spoke to Xue Shenzhi like this.

Xue Shenyi was stunned.

Xiao Qi laughed at himself, then held a glass of wine and poured it into his mouth. He was spicy and bitter, just like his heart.

"I don't need to have a marriage with her. Now I just want to be nice to her."

Xue Shenzhi looked at him deeply, then raised his head and poured a glass of wine, "It's best if you can think easily! However, the little girl's heart is very fragile, so you should not give her hope."

Xiao Qi lowered his head, his slender and white fingers tightly clamped the wine cup, and the joints were covered with blue and white.

He spoke gently and firmly, "She is not an ordinary woman, she is stronger than you and I imagine."

"I hope so." Xue Shenzhi smiled bitterly and poured a few glasses of wine one after another.

Before love can be controlled, everyone is so sure.

But if love can be controlled by itself, it cannot be called love.

The sunlight in the sky gradually lost its temperature, and the wind in the air became colder and colder.

Lin Zhaoyan's legs had already lost consciousness, and he could only keep hypnotizing himself, "I don't have legs, I don't have legs" or "I'm eating roasted chicken wings, which are very fragrant and tender."

The experimental results are not bad.

Because she didn't feel particularly painful.

"Okay, the time is up." A voice came from my ears.

Lin Zhaoyan was sure that it was the voice of the Bodhisattva.

She wanted to stand up happily and rub her feet and massage, but it seemed that the hypnosis was too successful. She had no feet and could not move at all.

After struggling for a long time, I could only look at the person who came with a sad face, "Is my leg broken?"
