In the next few days, Luo Guan was in seclusion in the small courtyard. From time to time, he was dragged into the illusion world by Xuangui to work overtime, asking him to try to combine the three swords into one and add the power of the Imperial Sword. In order to speed up the progress, Luo Guan was given
The summons came, and a dark shadow from the Heaven-Stepping Realm came to serve as a sparring partner.
So after a few sword blows, Luo Guan, who had no power to fight back, would be beaten away by the shadows, and it was extremely painful to survive.
On the clouds, the little lolita wearing ill-fitting sun, moon and star robes had a smile on her face - brat, you can do it!
Until this day, Jin Ya came to the small courtyard again, knocked on the door and saw Luo Guan's pale face, and was shocked, "Are you okay?"
Luo Guan rubbed his eyebrows to relieve the soreness and discomfort, "It's okay, why are you here... Oh, the banquet is today?"
Jin Ya looked worried and said hesitantly, "Otherwise, I won't go today. I'll cook you some porridge and you can eat and have a good rest."
"It's okay. I haven't slept well recently. I'll just take a nap on the way." Luo Guan didn't want to break his promise, "Let's go, lest we go late and people say you, Miss Jin, are putting on airs."
Seeing that he was still careless and talkative, Jin Ya felt a little relieved and said, "Okay, you can sleep after we get in the car, and I'll call you when we get there."
The coachman was Liu Qing. When he saw Luo Guan, he saluted hurriedly and said, "Greetings to Mr. Luo!"
"Liu Qing, you don't need to be polite. I'm going to be a little dizzy now, so I'll go up first." After entering the carriage, there was a soft couch inside with soft and comfortable white fur. Luo Guan leaned on it and smelled the faint fragrance, and exhaled comfortably.
. ??
In the past few days, he has been tortured by the teacher - it must be that I have improved too slowly and made him unhappy. Luo Guan, you have to keep working hard - as for the rise in Diwu, what kind of person is the teacher? It's just Qingyang
It’s just a country, and there may not be one person who can enter the eyes of the Dharma, so even if he is stronger than them all, it doesn’t mean anything!
Jin Ya boarded the carriage and looked at Luo Guan, who was leaning on the soft couch, with a slight blush on her face.
This is the place where she usually handles family affairs and rests temporarily when she is tired - boy, please don't drool!
But seeing him leaning against the soft couch with his eyes closed and frowning slightly, Jin Ya felt a little distressed for some reason. She hesitated and moved to the side, reaching out her fingers to gently knead the corners of his eyebrows.
The fingers were soft and cool, Luo Guan breathed slightly, and soon fell into a deep sleep in relaxation and comfort.
After an unknown amount of time, he was gently shaken awake and said, "Luo Guan, don't sleep, we are here."
He looked out the window and saw that the sky was completely dark. It was obvious that the carriage would not take so long to drive. Jin Ya must have wanted to let him sleep a little longer.
"Sorry, I've been a little tired lately." Luo Guan smiled and stepped off the carriage on a low stool.
In front of you is a quiet and vast street with not many pedestrians. The street lights illuminate it, showing the majesty of the tall mansions on both sides.
Luo Guan stretched his body, rubbed his face vigorously, and felt more energetic. He smiled and said, "It seems that the person hosting the banquet today is a big shot in the imperial capital." The young man had been sleeping all the way, and his clothes were wrinkled. Jin Ya naturally stretched out her hand to smooth them out, nodding and saying, "He is indeed a noble person with a high status..."
She paused for a moment and said, "Luo Guan, I'm sorry. I asked you to come with me today just to introduce you to this noble man. But don't worry, I didn't tell him about you... I just... just... I hope
You can be friends...you won't be angry, right?"
What met her anxious eyes was the young man's smile, "I already guessed it when I promised you... Let's go, I also want to know what kind of noble person can make you so interested in Sister Jin Ya."
Jin Ya felt relieved, smiled brightly, and said with a wink, "You are a very powerful noble man. Believe me, if you can gain his friendship, it will be of great help to you, brother Luo Guan, in the future."
The two of them arrived in front of the house and were respectfully invited in before Jin Ya could show her invitation.
When they were led by the maid and rushed to the banquet venue, a middle-aged man with a fair face and a feminine temperament came out of the shadows. He bent down and lowered his head, but his eyebrows were cold, "Go and tell the queen about this."
"yes."
A thin figure behind him lowered his head and left in a hurry.
The courtyard is deep, and although the architectural style is unassuming, every detail is extremely luxurious, highlighting the noble status of the owner!
In the night wind, a small building stood by the lake. Only then did Luo Guan discover that the owner of this place actually built this mansion along the lake. There was a protruding piece of land in the lake in the distance. After planting an aquatic bamboo forest unique to the south, he
Turn this lake into a large pond in your own house.
This is true luxury!
But probably because he had just entered a cave at the bottom of a pond not long ago, Luo Guan couldn't help but frown slightly when he saw this scene.
Jin Ya had some misunderstandings, thought for a moment, and said softly, "Luo Guan, when you know the identity of the owner of this courtyard, you will understand that he only occupies a corner of the lake for private use, which is an extremely enlightened move... You need to know that when it was originally built,
They originally planned to include the entire Changting Lake in this mansion, but it became what it is now after being rejected by the nobles."
Luo Guan smiled and didn't explain much.
Soon, the two came to the lake and saw a long pavilion - a nine-story high-rise building named after "Chang Pavilion" built near the lake.
Nowadays, it is brightly lit in the night and reflected in the lake, like a dragon palace under the sea.
You can tell how luxurious it is!
Someone has been waiting here for a long time. They bowed respectfully and said, "Miss Jin, you have been waiting for a long time. Please come with me to the stairs." Out of the corner of your eye, Luo Guan seemed to have been swept by Luo Guan inadvertently.
"Thank you!" Jin Ya nodded.
Today's night banquet was held on the ninth floor. When the two arrived, it was already full of guests. Luo Guan glanced casually and couldn't help but raise his eyebrows. Unexpectedly, he met an acquaintance here.
He swept past without any intention of coming forward to say hello, but others also saw him.
Wei Wei said solemnly, "It's Luo Guan, and he's here too!" But then he thought about it, with the reputation of the wise king as being very open-minded, and his high regard and desire for talents, it was only natural to invite Luo Guan.
Nangong Duoduo's eyes brightened slightly, and her eyes wandered around, landing on Jin Ya, "This woman, if I'm not mistaken, should be the eldest lady of the Jin family. Jin Ya, who now controls most of the real power of the Jinding Chamber of Commerce, Luo Guan actually and
She came here together, and the relationship between the two seems...very close?"
She couldn't help but frown, hesitating whether to remind Luo Guan not to get too close to Jin Ya... After all, for wealthy families, although they were far away from the imperial capital, the news was not blocked, and it was even more important for the nobles who were above them.
focus on.
The depth of knowledge is far beyond that of ordinary people!
Yang Jian couldn't help but curl his lips when he saw the change in her expression. This Miss Nangong had excellent mental skills, aptitude, and other skills, but she was too calculating, which made him very unhappy.
At this moment, a chuckle rang out in a gentle and friendly voice, "Jin Ya, why are you here so late? Come up quickly. Master Li is here tonight, and you will have to drink a glass of wine as a penalty."
On the ninth floor, another high platform was erected, surrounded by railings and gauze hanging down. The gentle night breeze made the face of the noble man appear vaguely.
At the banquet, the voice suddenly dropped.
Nangong Duoduo clenched her fists and raised her eyes to look at the high platform. The noble man had a smile on his face and spoke calmly, but she noticed that there was a hint of ice in the depth of his smile.
That's too late!
She lowered her head, extinguished her previous thoughts, and sighed secretly. This Luo Guan was at a loss about the situation in the imperial capital, so he relied on his talent and strength to rush in. Little did he know that in the world outside the imperial martial arts, even half a step away would be wrong.
There will be great disaster.
This is his own fault!
If he had accepted her apology and became friends with her, how could he have made the big mistake today... The noble man was so angry that he lay down his body hundreds of miles away, so what if the genius was unparalleled and proud of the emperor? In the eyes of the Tian family, he was just a mere mediocre person.
A martial artist can be destroyed with a snap of his fingers.
Jin Ya wanted to say something, but was interrupted by the noble man with a wave of his hand, "What? Are you still worried about this little friend you brought? Luo Guan, Gu was also present when Emperor Wu Tianwang fought that day, and he recognized you! Can you come tonight?
, Gu is very happy, there are a few rising stars over there who entered the Imperial Martial Arts in the same year as you, you might as well sit together and exchange cultivation experiences with each other, it would be a wonderful thing."
With a few words of understatement, he not only showed himself, but also made arrangements for Luo Guan, and made Jin Ya unable to say anything else, "...Luo Guan, you go first, I will come to you later."
There was apology in his eyes.
Luo Guan smiled and said, "Okay. , you just go."
Zhao Tian stood leaning on the railing, with a cold flash in his eyes, which was immediately covered by a gentle smile. He walked to the stage and looked at the graceful Jin Ya who was walking towards him, "Since we said goodbye, you and I have not seen each other for three years... Jin Ya
, are you okay?"
Jin Ya saluted, "Thank you for your concern, Your Highness. Everything is fine."
"Don't call me Your Highness. You and I have grown up together. Just call me Zhao Tian." He subconsciously stretched out his hand and held it in mid-air. He smiled sideways and said, "Come on, everyone is waiting for you."
A trace of disappointment flashed in Jin Ya's eyes, and she nodded immediately, "Yes." She stepped onto the high platform, "Master Li, we meet again."
Li Shitong had already stood up and returned the greeting with a smile, "I have met Miss Jin."
This scene made everyone on the high platform look askance.
Behind him, His Highness Zhao Tian, the second prince of Qingyang Kingdom, had an even bigger smile on his face.
Here, the attendant brought Luo Guan to the round table, bowed and left.
Before he could sit down, Nangong Duoduo suddenly stood up and said, "Wei Wei, I saw some friends from aristocratic families, please come with me to visit them."
After that, he turned around and left without even looking at Luo Guan.
This scene happened almost at the same time as the scene on the high platform, but the eyes of everyone on the round table became quite playful.
"Ahem! I just remembered that there are a few friends here, so let's go first."
"I also saw Brother Liu just now, let's go together!"
"...someone goes to the toilet!"
In the blink of an eye, most of the round table was empty, except for two middle-aged people opposite, sitting there with a smile on their faces, eating and drinking, and paying no attention to Luo Guan.
Yang Jian hesitated for a moment, then lowered his voice and said, "Luo Guan, you'd better stay away from the eldest lady of the Jin family in the future, otherwise there will be disaster."
This sentence contains a lot of information.
Luo Guan's eyes flickered, he glanced at the high platform, and then he had some reaction. No wonder Nangong Duoduo and others avoided him.
"Brother Yang, aren't you afraid that I will be implicated?"
Yang Jian said, "I am from the Mobei Black Iron Army. The noble man is seeking support from the army and will not do anything to me."
Luo Guan was in the imperial capital and had heard some things about the Tian family, "Which prince is hosting the banquet tonight?"
"...Your Highness!" Yang Jian thought for a while and said, "Luo Guan, you'd better make friends with a few more powerful disciples of the Imperial Capital, or become a disciple of a great professor in the Imperial City, so that you can have your own information channels, so as not to
Do it again in the future."
His words were indeed well-intentioned. Luo Guan smiled and said, "Thank you, Brother Yang, for reminding me."
At this time, two middle-aged men across the round table were also talking in low voices.
Suddenly, what one of them said attracted Luo Guan's attention.
