The atmosphere became awkward. Duanmu Qingqing could not imagine that there were so many people in the world. She no longer cared about the role assigned to her by her senior sister. She did not want to have any contact with Chen Mo anymore. This guy was the kind of person who could not get along with others.
There is no hope for such a person, no matter how talented he is, it will be useless.
Duanmu Qingqing suddenly discovered that there was one thing about herself that could still compare with him: human nature and sophistication.
"Why are you talking so much? Hurry up and eat. There are so many delicious things, and you only eat so little. I don't know when the next time will be." Yan Yu put a lot of vegetables into Chen Mo's bowl, with a lecturing tone.
said.
Chen Mo closed his mouth obediently and continued to chew slowly.
"You're already injured like this, why don't you rest easy? If sister Duanmu angers you and makes you lie down for half a year, we won't even think about leaving."
Saying that, Yan Yu looked at Duanmu Qingqing and said with a smile, "Don't mind, that's just how he is."
Duanmu Qingqing looked at the two of them, and it was true that one thing came down to the other.
After a while.
"Ha, I can't eat any more." Yan Yu straightened his back and let out a big burp without any scruples. He suddenly thought of something and immediately covered his mouth and glanced at Duanmu Qingqing beside him.
"I didn't hear anything, I didn't hear anything, hee hee."
"Go back when you're full." Chen Mo stood up.
"Yeah." Yan Yu jumped off the stool and said goodbye to Duanmu Qingqing: "Goodbye, sister Duanmu."
Then he pulled Chen Mo's sleeve and wanted to leave.
"Chen Mo, are you leaving so soon?" At this time, a tall woman in white clothes came over.
"Wow, this sister is so tall." Yan Yu took a look and saw that the woman in white was a head taller than the average woman.
"Who are you?"
"My name is Shangguan Mingyue, Duanmu Qingqing's senior sister." The woman in white said with a slight smile. "You gave me a flying knife the day before yesterday, do you remember?"
"You were the one who made the first move." Chen Mo said coldly.
Shangguan Mingyue felt Chen Mo's hostility and explained: "It was all a misunderstanding. At that time, I was really afraid that you would forget that this was a martial arts competition and accidentally kill Qingqing. This would not be good for anyone. At that time, I just wanted to stop it.
It’s just you, I don’t want to do anything to you.”
"Since it was a misunderstanding, let's clear things up and leave."
"Are you interested in sitting down and having a drink?" Shangguan Mingyue picked up the two wine bottles and said, "I brought these myself."
Chen Mo felt some anger from Yan Yu on the side and said, "Not interested."
As he said that, he wanted to turn around and leave.
But at this time, someone else came. Chen Mo was like a flower that attracts bees and butterflies, but his flower had sharp thorns.
The person coming was Ou Shouxu, the head of the Ou family, and he was accompanied by a man and a woman. The man, Chen Mo, recognized him. He was the third young master of the Ou family who had been looking for him many times, but he had never seen the woman before.
"Chen Mo, how is your food?" Ou Shouxu asked as he walked over, holding a wine glass in his hand, and his face had already lost half a degree of drunkenness.
"Thank you, head of the District family, for your hospitality." Chen Mo did not respond coldly. After all, this was his family's home. He also had a good knife and took good care of the aftermath.
"You're welcome, you're welcome. Let me introduce you. This is my third son. You have met him, Ou Yiping. Here is my little daughter, Ou Yanran."
"I've met Mr. Chen."
Ou Yiping just nodded to Chen Mo, but Ou Yanran gave Chen Mo a blessing.
"Sit down and have a chat?"
Ou Shouxu pointed to the table in front of Chen Mo.
Chen Mo did not refuse, thought for a while, and sat down again. Shangguan Mingyue and Duanmu Qingqing did not leave, and sat down calmly, ignoring Ou Yiping's cryptic look.
Yan Yu did not pull Chen Mo secretly. When he saw Shangguan Mingyue inviting Chen Mo to drink, he secretly pulled Chen Mo's sleeves to prevent him from drinking. Therefore, Chen Mo did not drink at all at the dinner party.
Yan Yu could let Chen Mo refuse Shangguan Mingyue's invitation, but he couldn't let him refuse Ou Shouxu's. There must be a certain limit to rudeness.
"Chen Mo, would you like to have a couple of drinks?" District Huanxuan, who was sitting next to him, asked. At the same time, the servants had already placed cups in front of everyone present.
"I'm injured."
"Yes, yes." Ou Shouxu patted his head and said, "I drank too much and forgot about this."
"Come on, let's serve tea."
The person who poured the tea was not those people, but the pretty Ou Yanran. Of course, he only poured tea for his father and Chen Mo, and the others came by themselves.
"Then let's have tea instead of wine and congratulate Chen Mo on your wish."
Everyone raised their glasses and drank the tea to taste the strong liquor.
"I heard that you are from Chu State?" Ou Shouxu put down his wine glass and asked.
"Yes."
"Then you came here specially after hearing about the sword competition here?" Ou Shouxu started chatting with Chen Mo like an elder.
"No, I just passed by and heard about it by chance." Chen Mo replied truthfully.
Shangguan Mingyue and Duanmu Qingqing laughed in their hearts, but did not show it. However, they both drank the tea in the wine glasses and covered it up without leaving any trace.
"Hahaha." Ou Shouxu didn't feel embarrassed at all and said with a smile: "It seems that you and that knife are really destined. It really is true to that sentence. If you are destined to meet you thousands of miles away, if you are not destined to meet you, you will never meet."
"Old fox."
Shangguan Mingyue cursed in her heart, this area Shouxu was hiding a needle in his words, but the needle was not aimed at Chen Mo, but at them.
"How about it? Have you given that one a name?" Ou Shouxu asked. "If this sword follows the young hero, it will definitely become famous all over the world in the future. It is really a bit unfair for it to not have a name."
Chen Mo never thought of giving the knife a name, he thought it was too boring.
"Qing Yu." Yan Yu interrupted at this time. "How are you, Chen Mo."
"It's up to you." Chen Mo said nonchalantly.
"Qingyu, what a good name." Ou Shouxu agreed. "I hope that one day in the future, I can hear it rising to prominence in the world. After all, it is the hard work of our Ou family."
"In every five years, ten famous swords will appear in our family, and they will all have their owners. However, after so many years, only a few of them can become famous. They are either shelved, or they die together with their owners as unknowns."
"Oh, by the way, this Shangguan girl also got one of the ten knives this year, and she was named Leng Yue. I have a request that is not a request. I hope that when you meet in the future, you will not meet as opponents. Both of you will
They are the two that I am most optimistic about among the masters of famous swords today. I am really different from the two knives in our family. They are born from the same roots, so why be too hasty."
"Old guy, you have some conscience." Shangguan Mingyue said secretly.
Of course, Ou Shouxu only mentioned the two of them, and did not mention the others at all.
"The rivers and lakes are so vast that we may not meet each other."
"Hahaha, you are right, I am unfounded." So Ou Shouxu changed the subject again. "I saw that the broken knife you used before was also from the Tang family. Was it taught to you by your elders? Tang Dao
It's rare in Chu State, and people there don't like such knives."
"When I was a kid, I just accidentally picked it up among the dead. I found it useful and kept using it."
Yan Yu looked at Chen Mo. The first time she saw Chen Mo break the window, he had used this knife. However, at that time, the knife had not been broken yet. He was waiting for her to be rescued.
Roar, and the knife will break.
A pile of dead people?
What was the environment he lived in before? He doesn't look very young, right? Could it be that his indifference is because he has seen too many dead people and has no emotions?
"Then this is why you came to Tang State?" Ou Shouxu guessed that since he likes to use Tang Dao, it is indeed possible that he came to Tang State to see Tang Dao. After all, the one in his hand was broken.
It is said that it can be purchased in places other than Tang Dynasty, but the quality and price are really unfriendly.
"A little bit."
"By the way, what do you think of my little girl Yanran?"
Ou Shouxu suddenly made a U-turn, which surprised Chen Mo. Why did he suddenly get involved? Before Chen Mo could speak, Ou Shouxu continued.
"My Yanran is probably a little older than you, but that doesn't matter. I'm a third-year girl with a gold nugget. If you think it's okay, I can betroth her to you."
"You like Tang swords. Our family's famous swords are among the best. A good horse with a good saddle, I think it is quite suitable. Our Ou family is also well-known in the Tang Dynasty, and we can also give you a lot of help."
Naked wooing, all the conditions are smashed out at once, and you can knock people unconscious directly.
"It's really a competition to recruit a bride!" Yan Yu said in surprise.
really.
Shangguan Mingyue muttered. He had heard that there were even better hidden rewards in the Ou family swordsmanship competition. The martial arts competition that people joked about to find a bride turned out to be true. I guess those people didn't think of it. But I also heard that it didn't just take first place.
Yes, it depends on whether the families on this mountain appreciate the number one. In other words, the number one is still worthy of consideration, and only those who are really not worthy of being valued are favored by them.
An old fox is still an old fox. When he sees real meat, he will resort to any means.
For some reason, Shangguan Mingyue's eyes turned to Duanmu Qingqing. Duanmu Qingqing looked at the gaze cast by his senior sister, and was confused for a moment, then stared back.
"I don't want to stop yet." Chen Mo replied without any hesitation.
"Yes, yes, we are going to burn incense at Daotu Temple, go fishing in Sage Lake, see the Great Wall that is said to be a hundred feet high, and many other places."
Chen Mo stood up and said to Ou Shouxu: "Sorry, I'm a little tired. I'm going back to rest."
After saying that, he took Yan Yu away from the dinner table. This time, no one was looking for them.
After watching Chen Mo disappear from the screen wall, Shangguan Mingyue and Duanmu Qingqing also stood up to say goodbye.
"It seems that we haven't been able to keep Chen Mo, so let's say goodbye, head of the District family."
"Miss Yanran, remember to come to our Red Demon Pavilion to play when you have time. We ladies can't always stay at home. How boring."
"Ou Yiping, forget it. Our Red Demon Pavilion prohibits men from entering, and you kidnapped my little uncle. Master misses you."
"Haha..." Ou Yiping laughed and said, "When the child is born, I will come to apologize."
"snort!"
Shangguan Mingyue took Duanmu Qingqing and walked away.
