Lin Ke could see that Su Yan was not normal today, but he was very sensible and did not continue to ask.
The fireworks lasted for half an hour before they ended, and the pedestrians on the bridge left with unfinished content.
After walking down the Qingfeng Bridge, Lin Ke and Su Yan walked along the Qianyun River and under the willows. They both had their own thoughts and neither spoke.
Lin Ke broke the silence and said, "You have actually broken through to the ninth level of the Great Martial Arts. Your progress is so fast."
"So what? Compared with you, it's too far behind."
Su Yan smiled bitterly: "You already have the strength to kill Xu Donglin. A genius is a genius. No matter how hard I try, I can never catch up."
"Why should we catch up?" Lin Ke said.
Su Yan pursed her lips tightly, shook her head slightly, and said nothing.
When she received the news that "Lin Ke admires the second lady" and "Kill Xu Donglin and capture Yao Feiyue", Su Yan was completely despairing.
That kind of feeling is extremely uncomfortable.
It is a kind of inferiority, just like once everyone was an ugly duckling and could swim in the same pond. However, Lin Ke is too good. One day, he will turn into an eagle, spread his wings and fly to a broader world.
Sky.
But she couldn't transform into a white swan and travel around the world with him.
She has tried her best, but she still falls behind. From now on, I am afraid she will always be the ugly duckling in the pond, looking up at the eagle in the sky, living in two different worlds.
Only a proud girl like the Second Miss can stay and fly with him.
Therefore, she knew very well that being able to be a couple with Lin Ke for a day was already the greatest happiness and could be remembered for a lifetime.
At this time, a big man with a beard, driving an ancient earth beast chariot, stopped beside the two of them.
On both sides of the ancient earth-yuan beast chariot, stood two energetic warriors with four-foot-long yuan-weapon swords hanging on their waists. The four of them were all masters of the seventh heaven of the "Great Martial Scripture".
The big man with a beard jumped out of the ancient chariot and said: "Miss Su Yan, Mr. Shang has sent his subordinates to pick you up."
"I'm not going." Su Yan said politely.
"Miss Su Yan had better think clearly. After all, you have been squeezed out of the top ten of the beauty list. From now on, you will have no say in the original chamber of commerce. If you don't agree to Master Shang's conditions, the Su family and Nanjian Sect may not be able to
You will live a good life." The bearded man said in a threatening tone.
Su Yan gritted her teeth and said angrily, "Get out."
The big man with a beard frowned and turned to stare at Lin Ke. He obviously felt that the reason why Su Yan did not go to see Lord Shang had something to do with him, so he was full of hostility.
"Who are you, Miss Su Yan?"
Su Yan looked worried and said, "This matter has nothing to do with him."
"Why is Miss Su Yan so nervous?"
The big man with a beard laughed, waved his hand and said, "You four, please invite this boy to Lord Shang first."
When I said the word "please", my tone was very deep.
Four warriors from the seventh heaven of the "Great Martial Scripture" walked toward Lin Ke in an unkind manner, with ferocious smiles on their faces. Two of them even pulled out the elemental swords in their hands.
Lin Ke didn't even look at them. He stared at Su Yan and asked, "What's going on?"
"It's nothing. This matter has nothing to do with you. Don't get involved. I can solve it."
After some psychological struggle, Su Yan plucked up the courage and said, "I'll go with you."
"Please get in the car."
The bearded man nodded with satisfaction and gave Lin Ke a meaningful smile.
Su Yan was just about to get into the car when she heard Lin Ke's voice from behind: "You are still my girlfriend, how could you just leave like that?"
Su Yan's delicate body trembled slightly and her eyes were full of tears, but she entered the car without hesitation.
After sitting down, Su Yan hugged her knees and cried out in grievance, full of helplessness about life.
"Crash."
The ancient car drove slowly out.
After an unknown amount of time, Su Yan finally stopped crying. As if she had lost her soul, she accepted her fate and sat numbly in the car.
However, the ancient car drove for a long time but never reached its destination. This made her frown and asked: "Where are you taking me?"
Outside, there is no sound.
Curious in her heart, Su Yan lifted the car curtain, only to find that the person driving was not the tall man with a beard. Instead, she was a man with white hair. Who could it be if it wasn't Lin Ke?
Su Yan was surprised and happy, unable to describe her mood at this moment in words.
Lin Ke did not turn around and said: "I saw you crying, and I didn't know how to comfort you, so I planned to wait until you had finished crying before asking you what happened."
"Where are they?" Su Yan asked.
Lin Ke said: "After being knocked unconscious by me, he was thrown into the Qianyun River. If you are lucky, you might be able to be rescued. If you are not lucky, you may have sunk to the bottom of the river."
Su Yan's face changed drastically and she said, "You have caused a big trouble. They are from Shangwanlou."
"Who is Shang Wanlou?" Lin Ke asked nonchalantly.
Su Yan felt uneasy and guilty, blaming herself for involving Lin Ke, and sighed: "Shang Wanlou is one of the top five figures in the original chamber of commerce. He is in charge of the mining and Yuanqi business, and he has many masters and powerful people.
He is not much weaker than the heads of the top ten families and the heads of the top ten sects, and his methods are extremely ruthless."
Lin Ke remained calm and said, "Why did he ask you to go?"
"Don't ask if you're okay." Su Yan said in a pleading tone.
Lin Ke said: "Okay, then you take me to see him."
Su Yan sighed, knowing that if she didn't tell Lin Ke, he would definitely go to Shang Wanlou in person, so she said, "He wants me to marry him and be his twelfth concubine."
A gleam flashed in Lin Ke's eyes and he said: "You are among the top ten in the Beauty List. You have high commercial value. Your right to speak in the Original Chamber of Commerce should be very high. How dare he force you?"
"That happened last year. This year...actually I lied to you." Su Yan said.
Lin Ke said: "You didn't take the initiative to withdraw from the competition in the Beauty List Conference, right?"
Su Yan nodded and said: "How is it possible to quit? Even if I want to, I absolutely can't do that. Because both the Su family and Nanjian Sect are dependent on the Original Chamber of Commerce. Only I entered the top ten in the Beauty List Conference, and I am the only one in the Original Chamber of Commerce.
Have enough say."
"However, in the battle at the Beauty List Conference, I was completely defeated. I was kicked off my own flower boat by the newly promoted courtesan."
Lin Ke had already expected this.
Although Xue Qinglan wrote the "Book of Sin", it is difficult to regain the lost suitors and supporters.
In addition, the Original Chamber of Commerce has welcomed Qing Lingxiu, who has the ability to compete for Star Girl, and will definitely support her and Li Zhiqing. Where is there any remaining power to support Su Yan?
Without the support of big forces and top celebrities, Su Yan was kicked off the flower boat and expelled from the top ten courtesans. There is nothing surprising.
Lin Ke said: "Don't say it yet, let me guess. After you were kicked off the flower boat, Shang Wanlou came to find you, right?"
"Yes." Su Yan said,
Lin Ke said again: "He threatened you with the Su family and Nanjian Sect, and wanted you to marry him. You rejected him, but you felt very painful in your heart. Because, as long as Shang Wanlou said a word, the Su family's property
It will definitely be swallowed up by the Original Chamber of Commerce, and the Southern Sword Sect will also be attacked and eventually decline."
"You feel very guilty and don't know what to do."
"Or maybe you have chosen to compromise with Shang Wanlou. That's why you came to me and asked me to be your boyfriend for a day. Because tomorrow, you will no longer be Su Yan, but Shang Wanlou's twelfth
Concubine."
Su Yan did not refute, her eyes were dull, and she said: "Lin Ke, we are different. You are talented and talented, so you can fight against fate and face difficulties. But I am not as good as you, I can't resist."
"Do you think Shang Wanlou will only use commercial means to deal with the Su family and Nanjian Sect? This person is himself a top powerhouse in the 15th level of the "Great Martial Arts", and he has used wealth and cultivation resources to win over a group of people.
A large number of demons and demons."
"If you anger him, it is possible that the Su family will be exterminated, and what can I use to fight against him?"
Lin Ke said: "You can report it to Qinghe Holy Mansion. It is impossible for the Holy Mansion to ignore it."
Su Yan shook her head and said: "After the Su family is destroyed, even if he is found, someone will definitely take the blame for him. What's the use? Besides, I am not a second-generation good person, how can the Holy Palace protect the Su family?"
Looking at Su Yan, Lin Ke thought of his own situation.
He can transform into Zang Feng and temporarily avoid Tian Sheng and Yi Yi. The Lin family is also protected by formations. As long as the real person does not take action, the Lin family will not be in danger.
But Su Yan doesn't have the ability like him.
The Su family also has no formation.
Shang Wanlou doesn't cherish his reputation as much as Master Yi Yi, and he can use any means.
If you don't compromise, what else can you do? Should you hide in Qinghe Holy Mansion and watch your clan members being killed? The sect is in decline, being annexed and destroyed by other forces?
The reality is too cruel.
After a long time, Lin Ke suddenly asked: "The ten flower boats on Tianjing Lake should be very lively, right?"
Su Yan said: "Why do you ask this?"
"I want to take a look." Lin Ke said.
Tianjing Lake is the venue for the Beauty List Conference. The top ten beauties are called the "Top Ten Courtesans", and each has a flower boat. Each flower boat is a stage.
Women participating in the Beauty List Conference can take their supporters to compete on any flower boat.
As long as the number of votes reaches the top ten, the tenth-ranked oiran can be kicked off the flower boat and become the oiran yourself.
Su Yan immediately understood what Lin Ke wanted to do, and immediately shook her head and said: "You can't help me. The competition in the Beauty List Conference cannot be saved by one person."
"I didn't say that I went to Tianjing Lake to help you recapture the flower boat. Why should you feel the psychological burden?" Lin Ke said.
Su Yan looked embarrassed.
Lin Ke asked: "Xue Zhenbei is at Tianjing Lake, right?"
"Here, he has been staying on Li Xiangchen's flower boat and is one of Li Xiangchen's important supporters. Why are you looking for him?" Su Yan said.
Lin Ke said: "I have to give him a warning."
Abandoning the ancient Diyuan beast car, Lin Ke and Su Yan changed into a small boat and sailed along the Qianyun River towards the "Tianjing Lake", the busiest place at night in Baidi City.
Although Lin Ke didn't want to get involved in Xu Dayu's feelings, there were some things he had to do.
