"Dad, if you have nothing to do, go and have a drink with the sword shopkeeper." Xia Qianjie pouted, not in the mood to think about the problem of the Xia family leader at all, and said angrily, "His whereabouts are unknown now, and his life and death are unknown. Why do you have to make fun of him again? Besides, this joke is not funny at all."
"This girl..." Hearing this sentence, the Xia family leader was so angry. How could he not realize that Xia Qianjie was protecting Shen Lang, and even started to blame him in order to protect Shen Lang.
What kind of thing is this! He broke his heart with good intentions, and still has to be blamed...
"Then remove the if." Head Xia felt very hurt and said angrily: "There is no if, he is not dead, he just wants to marry you two."
"Dad, what do you mean?" Xia Qianjie's brows furrowed more and more, and she became more and more angry. She felt that this joke was a bit too much...
But at this moment, the little maids suddenly heard talking.
"Master Shen has come back. I just saw him at the eldest lady's place."
"Is it true? Isn't there a rumor that he is dead?"
"Of course it's true. Not only is he not dead, but he is still alive and kicking, just like before... Well, he is also very enthusiastic and greets everyone he meets." The little maid recalled how she met Shen Lang just now on the Taolin path. scene.
After hearing these words, Xia Qianjie put away her sword and ran towards Taolin without thinking...
At this moment, Shen Lang was still wandering leisurely in the peach forest. He was not dead yet. He was alive and well. And since he was still alive and well, of course he had to let everyone know. He is living well.
So he met Liu An and Chen Pipi before, and wrote a letter to Princess Tongwei who was far away in Qingshui County, and also wrote a letter to the girls at the Chinese Academy of Education. On the one hand, this was to prevent his friends from being disappointed. Worrying, on the other hand, is because he kind of likes the feeling now.
It feels like...
"Ah! Master Shen! You are back!"
"That's great! You are indeed fine. I would say that the news coming from Chixiao Peak is mostly rumors and cannot be trusted at all!"
Shen Lang met two more little maids. The little maid who was originally a little depressed suddenly became very surprised and happy after seeing him!
After stepping into the Xia family's gate, wherever he went, the atmosphere became joyful... In an instant, it seemed as if the entire fallen peach forest was rejuvenated. There was no trace of sadness in the drifting peach blossoms. The meaning is more like a gorgeous rain of petals.
This gave Shen Lang a feeling...not bad. It was the feeling of being valued and cared for by others. Everyone was caring about him. This was really wonderful for a guy who had been wandering in the mortal world since he was a child and was seriously lacking in love. Indescribable.
The people of the Xia family were happy because Shen Lang was alive. Shen Lang felt the slight concern for him from others and was very happy. So he responded enthusiastically to the concerns of the little maids one by one.
So much so that he had long forgotten that the maids had always called him Master Shen, instead of Master Shen or Brother Shen. As if he was originally the young master of the Xia family, or uncle?
With his feet stepping on the petals on the ground, Shen Lang looked up casually and suddenly saw Xia Qianye, the eldest daughter of the Xia family in the distance. If he met an unfamiliar maid, he would say hello warmly. At this time, he met Xia Da Miss, of course you have to say hello.
What just makes him feel strange is why Miss Xia is holding a new peach in her hand that is obviously just grown and far from mature?
"Hey, where is Miss Xia picking peaches? Isn't it too early?" Shen Lang said without thinking.
Hearing this familiar voice, Xia Qianye, who was deep in thought, suddenly looked back. Against the gorgeous background of petals falling like rain, the young man looked at her with a smile. The bright smile at that moment made it difficult for her to distinguish what was happening in front of her. , is it reality or a dream?
However, just as she was stunned for a moment, Shen Lang had already taken steps towards Haitang Garden.
The place Shen Lang was originally going to was Haitang Garden. When he came to Taolin, he met Miss Xia. Actually, he was just passing by. Now that he had said hello, of course he would continue to Haitang Garden to find Miss Xia.
"Stop!" Xia Qianye said urgently.
"Um...what's the matter?" Shen Lang was full of doubts. He felt that Miss Xia's expression was a little strange at this time. To be more precise, the look in his eyes was a little strange, as if there was something more in it than before. thing...
Xia Qianye blinked her long and sparse eyelashes lightly, feeling confused for a moment in her heart.
Stop him? Why stop him?
Before calling Shen Lang, she had not considered this issue, let alone what she would do after calling Shen Lang. It seemed to be just the most instinctive and real reaction... It was like when Xia When the owner of the house threw the peach into the air, she reached out to catch it without any extra thought.
And at this moment, Taozi, whom the Xia family leader metaphorically said would regret it after losing it, was caught in her hands. She had been vaguely worried for the past two days, because the person she cared about was right in front of her.
Afterwards, she thought about many things.
"Well, if there's nothing else, I'll leave first..." Shen Lang laughed twice and was about to leave, but before he could finish his words...
"I like you." Xia Qianye said first.
"Ah?" It was a very simple sentence, and it was also a powerful sentence, but it made Shen Lang feel like a thunder flashed in his heart, which only shocked him to the point of being confused and stunned.
Xia Qianye, the eldest lady of the Xia family, is such an aloof and elegant person.
In Shen Lang's mind, she was like a snow lotus blooming on the cliff of Hanshan Mountain, unapproachable, let alone touching.
Tianhun is a seventh-level soul who has mastered talismans. Her talent in talismans is such that Fairy Bihu treats her with favor, treating her as a rare genius, and even makes an exception to teach her the talismans personally.
At the same time, she also practiced alchemy, and was proficient in music, chess, calligraphy and painting.
In terms of cultivation talent, she is not far behind the true disciples of the Qingyun Sect. Even Yu Wushuang, the proud and messed up one on Chixiao Peak, has no qualifications to be proud of in front of her.
In terms of talents, even Xiao Yicai, the gentle and famous senior brother on the Divine Sword Peak, is only half as good as her!
But such an almost perfect person, a woman who probably half of the young disciples in Qingyun Mountain, and whom half of the young disciples in Qingyun Mountain are thinking about day and night, actually took the initiative to confess her love to him?
This made Shen Lang feel...it seemed unreal.
But Xia Qianye's expression was so serious, and everything in front of her was so real.
"Ahem...Um, Miss Qianye..." Shen Lang, who had always been a bit of an idiot when it came to relationships, suddenly became incoherent.
"You don't have to rush to refuse or accept, let alone feel pressured." Xia Qianye, who was a little flustered at first, calmed down when she saw Shen Lang's panic, "Because this matter has nothing to do with you."
"I like you, that is, I like you. This is my business and my attitude towards you. But this does not mean that I am asking for anything from you, nor do you need to pay any price or commitment for it." Xia Qianye glanced at the green peach in her hand and said with relief: "I just don't want to regret it in the future, so I want you to know about it, that's all."
