"Zixue is serious. She obviously agreed to come, but she hasn't been seen yet." Lan Tingshi observed her words and knew that Gongsun Ming was impatient, and she couldn't help but feel a little jealous in her heart.
Gongsun Ming smiled when he heard this: "Since Zixue promised to come, I think she will definitely not break her promise. Anyway, it is still early, and besides, I broke the promise first, so it should be my fault."
When the bodyguard standing next to Gongsun Ming, who was about the same age as him, heard this, his eyes could not help but become cold. However, Gongsun Ming seemed to know that, and turned his head slightly to avoid Lan Tingshi's eyes and signaled to the man. The man's eyes suddenly changed.
After a change, he returned to the same state as before, as if the coldness just now had never appeared before. Or maybe his face was so cold to begin with, making it difficult for people to distinguish the meaning of his eyes.
Listening to Gongsun Ming speak for Lan Zixue, Lan Tingshi felt even worse. She wanted to get up and leave, but she was afraid of leaving a bad impression in Gongsun Ming's heart. She couldn't help but cracked her lips and said: "I didn't expect Gongsun Ming to be like this.
You are graceful, if Zixue marries you, you will be really lucky!"
Gongsun Ming could see Lan Tingshi's insincerity at a glance, but he was not angry because he liked to hear what she said. Just like everyone likes to be flattered, Gongsun Ming was like this now, but seeing him
With a smile on his face, he said in a somewhat excited tone: "It would be great if Zixue thought so."
Lan Tingshi smiled awkwardly and stopped talking.
Gongsun Ming looked up at the time, and the excitement in his heart suddenly disappeared. If Lan Zixue didn't arrive yet, he would consider returning home. Of course, this was his worst plan.
…………………………………………
At this moment, the door curtain swayed slightly, and not long after, Lan Zixue's dreamlike figure appeared in his field of vision. Gongsun Ming showed a hint of joy in his eyes, and he couldn't help but stand up, and then smiled gently.
Said: "Zixue, thank you for coming."
Lan Zixue's eyes first glanced at Lan Tingshi, and there was a faint flash of coldness in her eyes, which then disappeared. Then her eyes focused on Gongsun Ming, the corner of her mouth curled up, and Yun Danfengqing smiled lightly:
"Zixue had just finished sword practice and was covered in sweat. How could she have the nerve to come over to receive Mr. Gongsun? So she went to freshen up. I hope Mr. Gongsun won't take it personally."
Indeed, Lan Zixue, who had just come out of the bath, was dressed in plain white clothes, her hair was flowing gently behind her like willow silk, and her exposed smooth skin was as forged as snow, making people dare not look directly at Gongsun.
It was also the first time that Ming saw Lan Zixue who had just finished bathing. The shock in his heart was revealed the moment he saw Lan Zixue. Although it was only a moment, what happened to Gongsun Ming was already very serious.
It's not easy. The man standing silently next to him saw Gongsun Ming's expression, and a hint of shock flashed through his indifferent eyes.
"Sister Zixue, it took so long to take a bath!" Lan Tingshi chuckled slightly sarcastically.
When Lan Zixue heard this, she glanced at Lan Tingshi with a faint look. Lan Tingshi could not say a word under Lan Zixue's indifferent gaze. Compared with Lan Zixue, Lan Tingshi was just a less popular person.
Her opponent was not taken seriously by her at all. Thinking of this, an aura of resentment arose in her heart. But naturally she would not be stupid enough to show the anger in her heart on her face. Now in the Lan family, Lan Zixue is very powerful.
A person who gets wind and gets rain when he wants it.
Gongsun Ming's eyes flashed, then disappeared in an instant, and then he smiled and said to Lan Zixue: "It was my fault today. I am very satisfied that Zixue can come out to see me."
Lan Zixue smiled faintly, "I wonder what Mr. Gongsun wants from me?"
Hearing this, Gongsun Ming gestured to the man who had been standing next to him. The man understood, took out an exquisite invitation letter from his pocket that was twice the size of an ordinary person, and handed it to Gongsun Ming respectfully with both hands.
Gongsun Ming smiled and took it with his hand, then smiled softly and said: "The annual competition for the younger generation of disciples of the ancient martial arts family in Shangjing will begin on the fifth day of the first lunar month. This year's host is our Gongsun family. I am here today to give
Zixue, you are here to send the invitation letter."
The beautiful brows of the blue-purple snow-like indigo from the distant mountains frowned slightly, and a faint smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, and she said softly: "For such a thing, you can just ask your subordinates to come over, why bother to come here yourself."
"Anyway, I'm just an idle person at home."
"Young Master Gongsun is joking. If Mr. Gongsun is just an idle person, then there will be no busy people in this world."
"Haha, no matter how busy you are, you still have free time, and if you can meet Zixue, other things can be put aside for the time being." Gongsun Ming's words undoubtedly directly showed his admiration for Lan Zixue.
Looking at Gongsun Ming's burning eyes, Lan Zixue's faint smile remained unchanged, "If Uncle Gongsun knew that he came to me just to take a look at me, he would definitely be very sad."
How could Gongsun Ming not know Lan Zixue's intention? His fiery eyes cooled down and he smiled bitterly: "Actually, I'm here. I'm here to discuss something with you."
The faint smile on Lan Zixue's face melted and deepened. Perhaps it could be described as a smile, if one ignored the shrewd light in her eyes.
"What happened?"
"In previous competitions, contestants would choose six people from each family in our Shangjing Guwu family to register. I want to expand the scope to the entire city of Shangjing this year, allowing twelve contestants to participate. What do you think?"
Lan Zixue's eyes lit up and she nodded slightly: "This is a good idea, but what should we do about the selection of these twelve people?"
"Because this is my first time and I am in a hurry, I decided to choose two people from each of the six major military and political families in Beijing to participate. What do you think?"
"Okay, have you discussed it with the six major families?"
"Well, I told them this matter a month ago, and they all agreed. Now it's up to your family and the Sima family. What do you think?"
"Great."
"That's good, will Zixue also participate in this competition?"
"Let's take a look and you'll know when the time comes."
"Well, if Zixue participates this year, then I will first wish Zixue you win the championship!"
"Thanks!"
"Then I'll leave first." Seeing that it was getting late, Gongsun Ming stood up and said.
"Okay, I hope Mr. Gongsun will shine in the competition."
Gongsun Ming smiled and said nothing more, but handed the invitation in his hand to Lan Zixue.
Lan Zixue gestured to the purple-clothed woman next to her, and the purple-clothed woman took it knowingly.
When Gongsun Ming saw this scene, a look of disappointment flashed in his eyes, but he didn't say anything. Instead, he said hello to the man next to him, and the two of them walked outside.
