Chapter 146: The Night When the Moon Cherry Blooms (Part 1)
Chu Ying is almost as tall as Chu Yunyi, and such a figure is rare among women.
Li Xing couldn't help but recall Yang Zhou's height and body shape in his heart. He didn't know who would be the one who could be the one who could rely on others if these two people really succeeded.
Sitting across from Li Xing, Chu Ying said to the four people who were dissatisfied with the team:
"I've watched the game, you performed very well, and I'm proud that the First Legion has such excellent reserve force as you."
"Commander thanks for the praise!"
The four of them stood up and saluted each other, Chu Ying waved her hand: "Sit down, we all said that it is time to rest now, don't be so nervous."
After a pause, Chu Ying continued: "You have achieved good results this time. The First Legion has prepared some prizes for you four, one high-level energy stone for each person. After the banquet, I will send someone to you. I hope you will continue to work hard.
We will achieve better results in the next game.”
Advanced energy stone, worth one million star coins! The First Legion is really a big deal. Not to mention the Desert Boat Team envied, even Jiang Yuesheng and An Qing were jealous.
Li Xing slowly raised his hand and asked, "Commander, I have a two-level Yuanling. Can I give me two?"
Everyone: "..."
The fog grass and the lion beast's mouth are not as big as hers!
Everyone thought Chu Ying would be angry, but who knew she was actually happy: "Li Xing, I heard that you like to bargain, but it's really better to see it at first sight than to hear it."
Li Xing blinked: "Who did the commander hear? Principal Yangzhou?"
Everyone: "..."
Do you still dare to ask Yang Zhou in front of Chu Ying? The bear beast is not as brave as hers!
"Hahaha! I think about it too, but unfortunately, it's not. I haven't spoken to him for a long time."
Chu Ying did not shy away from her request for Yang Zhou and said readily: "Two are just two, who would tell me to like you!"
"Can you exchange one of the high-level energy stones for an equivalent low-level crystal before giving it to me?"
Chu Ying was stunned. She had never encountered such a request before. Why did the high-level Yuanlings want so many low-level crystals? Just when she was confused, Ye Qingting promptly rescued Li Xing: "Aunt Ying, you
Have you seen Ah Xing’s battle pet plant?"
"That purple ugly flower with a big mouth?"
Li Xing pouted: "It's called Huihui!" What a big mouth, Huihui is not ugly at all.
Ye Qingting continued: "Yes, it's Huihui. Huihui feeds on low-level crystals and has a big appetite. In order to support it, Li Xing replaced almost all his wealth with low-level crystals."
"So that's how it is!" Chu Ying nodded. "Okay, I promise you!"
Li Xing was happy: "Thank you, Commander--!"
Everyone chatted for a while, and the music was playing and the dance floor was open. As the owner of the Chu family, Chu Ying naturally had to dance the opening dance. She didn't want to dance with others and wanted her nephew to accompany her.
Lin Caier specially chose a dark purple dress today to match Chu Yunyi's eyes.
I originally planned to invite him to dance the opening dance. When everyone was in the spotlight, I didn't know that Chu Ying was intercepted. Chu Yunyi also accepted the invitation happily. When he left, he didn't even look at her. Lin Caier thought that today's banquet was really a matter of everything.
Not going well.
Li Xing was not interested in dancing, so he lied that he couldn't and stayed in his seat and was lazy. Others also found suitable dance partners and danced on the dance floor.
There will be a buffet at the banquet. Others are busy dancing and socializing, and it just so cheap that Li Xing is just a barbecue. She put on a napkin and feasted on her as if no one was around. The passing guests gave her strange looks, but Li Xing didn't care.
Just as I was eating happily, a warm voice suddenly sounded in my ears:
"I think you should try roasted venison. The twelve-level giant horned deer is a rare ingredient, and it would be a pity not to eat it."
Li Xing looked up and saw a gentle and handsome man looking at her with a smile. When she saw her looking over, she looked a little shy.
"Are you?" Li Xing thought this person's voice sounded so familiar.
Lin Zhian didn't expect that someone would not recognize his face, but he did not think it was offensive at all. He explained in a gentle tone: "I was rude. Let me introduce myself. My name is Lin Zhian, a special guest of comments for this military academy competition."
Li Xing suddenly realized that he was Lin Zhian, the strange man who had no mental power but became a rune master at the heaven level. No wonder he sounded familiar, wasn't he the commentator of the competition?
Li Xing rubbed the oily hand on the napkin and reached out to Lin Zhian: "Mr. Lin, lucky to know."
Gentlemanly holding Li Xing's Rouyi, Lin Zhi'an said: "Good to meet."
Lin Zhian has been paying attention to Li Xing for a long time. This girl's movements are not concise and has nothing to do with the style of a lady from a noble family. But he felt that Li Xing had an inexplicable nobility, as if it was revealed from his bones.
He had only seen this feeling in the top ten elders, but where did a civilian girl under 18 years old come from such a majesty? In order to verify his idea, Lin Zhian deliberately approached Li Xing.
He found that Li Xing was a person with affinity. One expression and one sentence could make people feel good. Moreover, the vigorous vitality exuded by her body really made people feel happy. It seemed that the air was much fresher when she was by her side.
.
Li Xing followed the good deeds and picked up a large piece of roasted venison. As Lin Zhian said, it was tender and juicy and very delicious. There was food as an introduction, and the two of them ate and chatted and got along happily.
Lin Zhian was a celebrity at the banquet, and many people asked him to socialize and chat. Not long after, he was invited by a noble girl to dance and had to say goodbye to Li Xing.
Li Xing almost swept the buffet area. After she had enough food and drink, the servant in charge of the dining area had tears in his eyes and seized the time to make up for all the dishes.
At this moment, the banquet had just reached its climax, with people hustling, drinking and laughing, singing and dancing. Ye Qingting, Cui Tianxiao and Qi Ming were having a great time in their respective circles of contacts. After all, they were children of aristocratic families, and they still had to have social interactions.
On the other side of the banquet area, Chu Yunyi was chatting with Jiang Yishan, the commander of the Second Army.
There were three long claw marks on Jiang Yishan's face, and the scars penetrated the entire left face, destroying his original handsome appearance.
"Yun Yi, what did you think about what Shi Bo proposed?"
Chu Yunyi slowly turned the wine glass, lowering his eyes and silently.
Jiang Yishan showed a meaningful smile and lobbyed:
"Yun Yi, I know that what you want to go to the First Army the most, but you should understand the principle that one mountain cannot accommodate two tigers."
"Your aunt has a high prestige in the First Army. The top leaders of the First Army are all her confidants."
"The army is not a family business. Those who serve in the army only recognize strength and not blood ties. They are willing to listen to Chu Ying's orders, but may not listen to you. Even if you are a heavenly rune master, you want to cultivate your own power in the First Legion.
It's not an easy task."
"Besides, Chu Ying is in her prime and does not need to train her successor so early. If you are going, she will be jealous of you and think you are going to seize power."
Seeing that Chu Yunyi's face did not show any disgust, Jiang Yishan continued:
"I am old, it's time to retreat and enjoy a happy life. Yuesheng is more powerful and calm, and I'm not at ease with him. After thinking about it, you are the ideal successor of the Second Army.
people!"
"If you come to the Second Legion, you don't have to worry about winning people's hearts. After the Southern Beast Tide Incident, the Second Legion's population has withered and lacks the backbone. For your airborne, the soldiers of the Second Legion will not have any hostility, but instead
I will quickly turn to you and surrender."
"If you are willing to come, then Yuesheng and I will fully support you as commander, and the Jiang family will continue to be the financial backer behind the Second Army."
Seeing that Chu Yunyi was still calm, Jiang Yishan played the card of family affection again.
"Yun Yi, you and Yuesheng grew up together. I treat you and your own children no differently. Now Uncle Shi asked you, is it about to refute my face?"
Chu Yunyi raised his eyes and smiled faintly: "Jiang Shibo is so serious. This matter is obviously beneficial to me, so how can I ask for my words? But I have reported to my ancestors and father that after the military academy competition is over, I will be in Qianyuan Continent.
I have traveled for a while and enriched my life experience. I will give you a reply when I join the Second Legion."
Jiang Yishan laughed: "Okay! Then I'll wait for your good news!"
———
Li Xing was a little overeated and politely declined several dancing invitations. He walked out of the banquet hall and went for a walk in the garden.
The Chu family is so big, just like the palace. Li Xing walked slowly towards the secluded place away from the hustle and bustle of the banquet hall, unknowingly, getting further and further away.
Turning past an antique corridor, a blooming moon cherry blossom suddenly appeared in front of her.
"Wow! So beautiful-!"
Yueying is a very spiritual rare plant. Li Xing has only seen 3D images in the library. I didn’t expect to be feasted today. Yueyingying is rarely planted manually, so it is even rarer to bloom, especially the full crown.
.
The moon cherry trees are very tall, with a crown area as big as a tennis court. The branches are soft and slender and almost hanging to the ground. Each branch is covered with small flowers in the shape of nails and bells.
The flowers emit a bright light like the moon. The evening breeze blows the branches, and the bushes emit crisp ringtones, raising a faint fragrance.
Li Xing walked into the curtains of the flowers and wandered in the ocean of flowers and colors.
The branches covered with flowers were layered, as thick as a curtain. Li Xing carefully pushed away the thick and thick branches while walking. Suddenly, a figure appeared opposite, scaring Li Xing.
The other party didn't expect that there would be someone else here, and was stunned. After looking at each other, Li Xing spoke first.
"Why are you here?" Li Xing regretted after saying that. This is his home, and she is the uninvited intruder. How can she be qualified to interrogate?
However, Chu Yunyi did not think it was offensive and replied with a good temper:
"It's too noisy, come out and have some breath."
Li Xing touched his nose awkwardly, "Oh."
Chu Yunyi's appearance just now was still in Li Xing's mind. The handsome young man stretched his eyebrows and his eyes were gentle, and he was not stained with dust.
Although Chu Yunyi always smiles and looks kind, Li Xing's intuition tells her that they are all social expressions, fake. The face she saw without any preparation just now was the face he really let go of.
Looks like wary.
He is as handsome as a banished immortal, and there is some slight sorrow between his eyebrows and eyes.
