Chapter One Hundred and Fifty Five: Choose One From Two
Deep in the corridor, the vermilion door was quietly closed.
It seemed that Huangfu Qiushui's legs were a little weak because the carpet was too soft.
The sound insulation effect of the room seems to be excellent. Standing outside, everything in the room is silent.
Huangfu Qiu Shui, who had originally relaxed a little, became hesitant again, stretched out his hand hesitantly, and subconsciously looked at the military advisor.
"please."
The military counselor's smile was a little unfathomable.
The girl in front of him, who was so stunning that he felt amazing, entered this room. No matter whether she would have another identity after she came out, at least one identity was certain.
That means she will be a member of the Eastern Palace from now on.
Huangfu Qiu Shui's face turned red. He mustered up his courage and knocked on the door with his plain white hands.
The door was not closed.
With the force of knocking on the door, a gap opened inwards.
The room was still quiet.
The man's somewhat unfamiliar but extremely familiar voice rang in the room: "Come in."
The military advisor took a step back and smiled without saying a word.
Huangfu Qiu Shui glanced at him again, bit his silver teeth gently, pushed the door open and walked in.
The door is closed.
The corridor behind him and the military advisor are all outside.
The world behind the door is neither a luxurious office nor a comfortable bedroom. At the end of the elegantly decorated entrance is a large and somewhat dazzling living room under the soft luster of crystal lamps.
The TV wall is elegant but not overly cumbersome, a hundred-inch TV, a coffee table, a leather sofa, a ceiling with a prominent shape that magnifies the visual effect, a closed bedroom door...
Standard apartment configuration.
The huge floor-to-ceiling windows in the living room are dotted with stars, which seem to be made into a starry sky effect. Outside the window are the lights of Huating and the rushing Huangpu River. The light of three skyscrapers leaps over through the starry sky through the floor-to-ceiling windows, blurring and distant.
The man who made her want to see but also a little scared, who was like a beacon and a natural enemy, was lying on a single sofa in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, silently looking out the window at the most glorious night of Huating.
Huangfu Qiushui wanted to change his shoes, but looking at the beautiful shoes on his feet, he bit his lip gently and gave up the idea.
The sound of high heels hitting the floor is clear and melodious.
Li Tianlan, who heard the footsteps, turned to look at her, raised his eyebrows and said, "Take off your hat."
The calm voice seemed to surge with an irresistible dominating power.
It was an aura that surrounded her from all sides, controlling everything about her easily and nonchalantly.
Huangfu Qiushui moved very slowly, but without hesitation, he obediently took off the little hat on his head.
She shook her hair subconsciously, and her soft and soft black hair fluttered gently under the light, carrying a kind of charm that only belonged to women in a trance.
She stood quietly in the living room, staring at Li Tianlan with her deep and clear eyes, without evading him.
Li Tianlan's eyes narrowed subconsciously.
He has really seen too many so-called beauties, but in the East Palace, among the large number of female employees, there is rarely anything that is not eye-catching.
Qin Wei and Bai Dongcheng are like Wang Yuetong, each of them can be called the beauty of the country and the fragrance of heaven.
In terms of pure appearance, Qin Weibai can be said to be perfect in the direction of human aesthetics.
It was a kind of exquisite dream-like perfection, with hard-to-conceal sharpness and etherealness, a cold and proud naturalness, and her own temperament, blending into the ultimate beauty.
The East City is unparalleled in its beauty and purity, like an ingenious landscape painting, quiet and extremely remote.
There is also Wang Yuetong's face that is somewhat enchanting but very pure. She is lively, youthful, and mixed with a little naive publicity. Even when she is quiet, she still has an indescribable aura.
Huangfu Qiushui was different, completely different from them all.
It was an absolutely offensive feeling.
This feeling can't even be called beautiful, but charming...
A face that is charming to the core.
It's the kind of charm that makes people think that she is seducing men with every move, every frown, and even when her face is expressionless.
She also seems to know that her appearance is too easy for people to imagine, so she usually has a cold and cold attitude that is distant from others, without too many expressions. This attitude cannot be said to be useless, but it is
It had the opposite effect.
The kind of charm that makes even an unintentional glance feel like a temptation, coupled with her cold and cold temperament, inadvertently creates an absolute contradiction that wants to attract everyone's attention to herself.
Feeling, this contradiction in temperament is like poison, continuing to exude an attraction that makes all the opposite sex unable to stop.
Cold on the outside and hot on the inside, naturally charming.
It is difficult to get close to such a woman, but once you touch her soul, she can definitely bring the opposite sex maximum enjoyment.
Like an inviolable goddess, like a enchanting goblin, rejecting and seducing, like a hidden treasure, or a wonderful paradise.
She just stood quietly, but she gave people a sense of absurdity that it was difficult to approach but easy to get into bed with.
Li Tianlan had this feeling almost three years ago, but at that time Huangfu Qiushui was not yet eighteen years old and looked a little green. At that time, she was wearing a long skirt to cover up her figure that had not yet fully grown.
, this feeling is not obvious. But Huangfu Qiushui, who is now twenty years old, has changed into an extremely tight outfit, with long legs, thin waist, and flying black hair, which can almost be said to be the ultimate in seduction.
Li Tianlan looked at her quietly, suddenly smiled and said, "I've grown taller."
Huangfu Qiu Shui was stunned, his face was a little rosy, but he always bravely looked into Li Tianlan's eyes and said, "The last time I saw you, I was only 1.7 meters tall..."
Before Li Tianlan could speak, she said again: "I'm 1.74 meters tall now."
“I’m in better shape too.”
Li Tianlan commented without emotion.
"How do you like it?"
Almost instinctively, Huangfu Qiu Shui asked, and then she realized what she was talking about. Her face turned red and she looked away, and her body even trembled slightly.
Li Tianlan laughed and waved casually: "Come here."
His gesture was like greeting a mature kitten or puppy.
The feeling of being treated casually, the feeling of not being taken seriously, the feeling of being called upon...
The extremely unfamiliar feeling became entangled in her heart, turning into a subtle humiliation and grievance. Under this emotion, there was an even more subtle and unfamiliar emotion that made her extremely panicked.
Huangfu Qiushui took a deep breath.
Her breasts trembled slightly under her woolen sweater. Over the past two years, she had really matured a lot.
The slender and well-proportioned legs moved little by little in front of Li Tianlan.
The faint smell of perfume stimulated Li Tianlan's sense of smell.
Li Tianlan still maintained a very comfortable posture lying on the sofa.
Huangfu Qiushui stood.
"Tell me about it."
Li Tianlan smiled half-heartedly: "Why did you invite me to attend this final exercise between the two houses?"
Huangfu Qiushui shook her head silently. Her eyes wandered, looking at the starry sky in front of the French window and the brilliant lights outside the window. After a long while, she murmured: "I don't know either."
Li Tianlan's posture did not change and he said calmly: "The results of today's exercise are out, and I heard about it. They did a good job."
Huangfu Qiu Shui's spirit was shaken, and he seemed to have regained some of himself. He pursed his red lips and said with some expectation: "Can you attend tomorrow?"
Tomorrow is the most important team exercise among the exercises of the two houses.
And some of her affairs today resulted in the fact that she was the only one in her team who could appear, which was a situation that was highly similar to Li Tianlan's original situation.
Huangfu Qiushui really couldn't explain why she was so impulsive in inviting Li Tianlan, but one thing should be relatively clear. She wanted to let Li Tianlan take a look at her growth in the past two years, and tell him that she would also have an extremely beautiful woman in the future.
glorious future.
She can't become another Qin Weibai.
But he can become another Situ Cangyue, another Wangyue Xiange, or even another reincarnation palace master.
She will also stand at the pinnacle of the dark world, with a dazzling and almost dazzling identity.
"You are injured now. I heard that the situation you will face tomorrow is not optimistic. Your physical fitness is here. If you forcefully break the situation, it will only make you more injured and even break the balance in your body, causing hidden dangers.
It’s not very likely that you will win first place tomorrow.”
Li Tianlan said lightly.
His sword energy enveloped the entire room, and he could clearly feel Huangfu Qiushui's true physical state from her breathing rhythm. He could even feel every tiny detail on the black tights wrapping Huangfu Qiushui through his sword energy.
Folds, and you can also feel that there are large wet marks that are still spreading in the extremely charming triangular area.
Li Tianlan was a little confused. Could it be that he was scared to death?
Are you so terrible?
"As long as you come, I will definitely make it to the end."
Huangfu Qiushui looked at Li Tianlan seriously, with firm eyes, and her extremely charming aura became more and more obvious as she opened her mouth, seeming to seduce Li Tianlan all the time and pounce directly on her.
"There's no point in trying to hold on."
Li Tianlan shook his head: "If you forcefully break through, you can probably get close to my strength when I participated in the final exercise, but it's only roughly close. This kind of strength can allow you to solve problems, even if there are so-called hidden dangers, a potion of immortality is enough
It can be solved, but the premise of all this is that you can survive. Your body is too fragile. In that state, every move you make may cause your body to completely collapse. If you win the exercise and you die, I
What’s the point of running in vain?”
Li Tianlan suddenly stopped talking.
He thought of Dongcheng like this.
Dongcheng's situation is very similar to what he said. She also withstood the sword energy far beyond what her body could bear with her extremely fragile body, but her situation was more extreme. The sword energy in the famous sword's silence was an external force, and it was different from what he said.
The overdraft burst of one's own is completely different, so the damage to Dongcheng is even more cruel.
Li Tianlan narrowed his eyes.
His breath suddenly became a little gloomy.
"Can you help me?"
Huangfu Qiushui asked softly, her tone was soft and full of expectation. At this moment, she suddenly realized why she invited Li Tianlan to Huating, why she appeared here, or in other words, she was not aware of it.
It was something she had thought about sometimes but always found it confusing and was ashamed to admit it.
"Can."
Li Tianlan nodded, his voice was very quiet: "Don't hesitate."
"What?"
Huangfu Qiushui was stunned for a moment.
"I've already told you the method."
Li Tianlan said lightly.
What method? Don’t hesitate? What method is this?
Huangfu Qiushui looked at Li Tianlan blankly.
"Your current strength is pretty good compared to the Thunder Realm, but it is far from perfect. In my opinion, it can even be said to be neither fish nor fowl. Your current strength is related to your personal talent.
It has something to do with your own background. You have tried and explored the four realms of martial arts, the thunder realm, and the other three realms. This is the basis of your so-called strength. But what about the reality?"
Li Tianlan twitched the corner of his mouth: "You learn swordsmanship, but your swordsmanship is useless."
Huangfu Qiushui opened his eyes wide.
She could accept Li Tianlan's humiliation, but that was other aspects. Her martial arts and swordsmanship had always been her proudest place. When she first met Li Tianlan, she even dared to ask for a sword duel with Li Tianlan in the same realm.
It looks a little childish, but isn't it her confidence?
But now, Li Tianlan actually said that her swordsmanship...
"Good for nothing?!"
Huangfu Qiushui's voice was a bit high.
"Actually, I originally wanted to say it was rubbish."
Li Tianlan's tone was very calm.
Huangfu Qiu Shui glared at her hatefully. Her eyes were bright and charming. Even though she was embarrassed, she still had a charm that was yet to be developed but was already stunning enough.
"You studied under Xia Zhi. To be honest, Xia Zhi's realm is not bad, and his kendo is even better. Beihai Wang's Six Paths Reincarnation Sword is undoubtedly the top inheritance of kendo. Xia Zhi added his own understanding to it, from the perspective of kendo.
Said, she can even be worthy of the title of swordsman master."
Li Tianlan commented calmly: "In fact, if she had not been seriously injured, she might have stood in the same supreme realm as Wang Tianzong now. No matter whether her swordsmanship can reach the end, it is certain.
Yes, her swordsmanship can support her to enter that realm intact."
"When I first met you, your swordsmanship was very pure, with a shadow of Xia Zhi, which was pretty good."
Li Tianlan glanced at her: "But then why did you imitate me?"
Huangfu Qiushui was stunned for a moment, vaguely understanding what Li Tianlan meant.
"I haven't taught you anything. Your so-called imitation is too artificial. It looks very similar to me. You know how it actually works. You haven't even studied Li's Sword Twenty-Four now. Why do you think so?"
Do you think you can study my path? But you are still complacent, thinking that you have imitated it well, and even plan to combine my kendo with Xia Zhi's kendo. Is this the path you want? What nonsense?"
"Your choice is very simple. Either follow the path of Xia Zhi, let Zhongzhou see your Six Paths of Reincarnation Sword tomorrow, and become the Wang Shengxiao of that year. Or follow my path and become the person I was more than two years ago."
"How is it possible to merge with each other and be perfect? It's too greedy."
"When the Li family and the Beihai Wang family were still close, together with the Lin clan, the secrets of the three families were no secret to each other. Wang Tianzong and Xia Zhi also knew the Twenty-Four Sword, but such exchanges of swordsmanship, in Jinglei
It will stop after that. Why? When the three families communicated with each other, it was not for the purpose of merging with each other to become the so-called perfection. It was an exchange of ideas, a competition and mutual stimulation of swordsmanship at the same level. Fusion? Ha, fusion is perfect.
?Bullshit.”
"You remember."
Li Tianlan looked at Huangfu Qiushui, who looked a little pale, and said calmly: "Kendo is an extreme path. Since it is extreme, there is no such thing as perfection that makes up for all shortcomings. It has no flaws and looks perfect in all aspects.
Even if kendo exists, it is because your vision is not enough or the upper limit is not high. The so-called perfect kendo is not to make up for some shortcomings. If there is perfection, then the kendo that can kill people is perfect."
"I..."
Huangfu Qiushui opened his mouth and fell silent again.
Li Tianlan looked at her quietly.
He knows what the other person wants to say.
Some things and some choices, once made, really cannot be taken back.
Huangfu Qiushui lowered her head. There was no regret in her eyes, but she was a little confused: "I can no longer adapt to the teacher's way."
Xia Zhi is her teacher.
But she can no longer adapt to the summer solstice.
Failure to adapt means disapproval, or a difference in philosophy.
She imitated Li Tianlan's swordsmanship when she was in the Burning Fire Realm. At the peak of the Burning Fire Realm, she had the combat power to kill the Thunder Realm. She accumulated little by little, studied little by little, and then broke through the Thunder Realm.
Xia Zhi's swordsmanship has become somewhat unfamiliar to her.
She is familiar with Li Tianlan's swordsmanship.
No, to be precise, what she was familiar with was imitating Li Tianlan, the so-called nondescript and useless swordsmanship that could even be said to be rubbish.
This kind of swordsmanship can only scratch the surface of Li Tianlan's path.
But she felt that it was really suitable for her.
This is the choice of Tao.
Standing on the path of martial arts, this is faith, which comes from the soul and cannot be betrayed.
"The first deputy commander of the Nightmare Legion, or my personal assistant, who is also the head of the internal security force that will be established in the Eastern Palace, you choose one."
Li Tianlan said lightly.
