The young man in white just smiled without saying a word.
After a while, he said, "Whether it's a precious treasure or not has to be judged by the world." He raised his hand and gently propped his head. Through the white gauze hat, his pair of inky eyes quietly stared at Jin Yushu. His fluttering white robe casually fell on the chair.
Gu Rongxue raised her eyes and suddenly said, "It seems that Young Master Zhong cares quite a lot about Miss Yun."
The hand of the young man in white propping his head paused slightly. His diamond - shaped lips curved into a faint arc, so subtle that it was hardly noticeable.
"I just mistook her for someone else."
Gu Rongxue nodded, looking at the flickering candle flame and whispering, "If she could remember the past, she might hate the world..."
The young man in white lowered his eyes. He didn't pay attention to what Gu Rongxue said. He frowned slightly and pondered secretly.
Could there really be two people in the world who look so alike?
The sun was shining brightly, and the warm wind was blowing gently.
The first day and the morning of the second day of the Jianghu Pingshan Assembly were for the martial arts competition. Whoever won the first place could sit side by side with the number - one beauty in the Jianghu on the afternoon of the next day, and the precious treasure of the Jianghu would be presented to the world by the winner. The third day was the closing day of the Pingshan Assembly. People from all walks of the Jianghu would get to know and communicate with each other. At that time, the business of the makeshift inns would be extremely booming.
Su Xiaoliu was not interested in the martial arts competition. After getting out of the crowd, she strolled around, looking around curiously as she walked.
Not paying attention to her feet for a moment, Su Xiaoliu felt as if she had kicked something. Her foot was tripped, and then she fell straight forward.
Su Xiaoliu widened her almond - shaped eyes and quickly tried to balance herself. Unexpectedly, the thing under her feet moved again, pulling her just - stabilized body down to the ground.
Su Xiaoliu closed her eyes tightly, waiting for the pain when hitting the ground. However, just when she was about to touch the ground, someone grabbed the back of her collar.
"Don't you look where you're going? Do you have your eyes on top of your head, little ancestor? I was almost trampled to death by you." A soft laugh sounded. Su Xiaoliu turned her head to look.
In an instant, she met a pair of cold and beautiful eyes.
Su Xiaoliu squinted her eyes and suddenly recognized the person in front of her...
"You... you..."
The tall "woman" in front of her was wearing a light cyan silk dress. Her eyebrows were curved like willow leaves, and her eyes were smiling. Half of her black hair was tied up with a blue rope, and the rest was casually scattered around her waist. The hand that was holding Su Xiaoliu's clothes had half of its long sleeve slipped down, revealing a fair arm with a beautiful green jade bracelet on it. The other hand was holding a long sword, and there was a faint smell of medicine on her body.
"Me?" Chu Weixin curved her lips into a smile and squinted at her with her beautiful eyes. "Did you just come out of the pigsty? Why is your hair so messy?"
Su Xiaoliu blushed and quickly reached out her hand to smooth her hair that had been messed up in the crowd. She glared at him and said, "It was clearly you who tripped me. How did it become me trampling on you?"
Chu Weixin let out a soft laugh, leaned closer to her face, and said in a cold and pleasant voice, "Didn't I 'save' you again?"
Su Xiaoliu said irritably, "That's what you should do!" She turned around. After a while, Su Xiaoliu looked back at him. Seeing that he had been staring at her and smiling, Su Xiaoliu mumbled, "You're clearly a man, but you dress up like a woman. You're scaring people..."
Hearing her mumbling, Chu Weixin was not angry. He changed the topic and said softly, "Isn't the martial arts competition interesting?"
Su Xiaoliu turned around and nodded.
Actually, she didn't even watch it. She just lost interest as soon as she heard the name.
What kind of martial arts competition! Two people fight and kill each other, risking their lives for a title.
Su Xiaoliu reached out her hand to tidy up her hair. She glanced at him and suddenly asked in confusion, "Why don't you participate?"
Chu Weixin shook his head, blinked his beautiful eyes, and said, "I was kicked off the stage as soon as I went up."
"Why?" Su Xiaoliu put down her hand and asked in puzzlement.
Chu Weixin tilted his head and said softly, "They said they wouldn't fight with women."
"Pfft..." Su Xiaoliu couldn't help bursting out laughing, doubling over with laughter.
After laughing for a while, she straightened up, reached out her hand to pat his shoulder, and kindly advised with a teasing look, "Dear sister, we women should stay at home and do needlework. You'd better retire from the Jianghu quickly."
Knowing that she was teasing him, he grabbed her hand and pulled her in front of him. His cold eyes blinked slightly, and he said, "How about we retire together?"
In an instant, another person flashed through Su Xiaoliu's mind...
That face was so close that it seemed they would touch each other the next second. Su Xiaoliu's smile froze. She quickly pulled herself out.
"How cheesy, how cheesy..." She reached out her hand to touch her arms.
He really looked alike. Su Xiaoliu pursed her lips.
Chu Weixin's long eyelashes fluttered. His cold eyes on his beautiful face looked at her, and he suddenly asked, "Why do you wear a veil?"
Su Xiaoliu was stunned for a moment and made up a random reason, saying, "Because I'm so ugly that I have to wear a veil when I go out."
Chu Weixin let out a soft laugh and said something that made Su Xiaoliu furious, "You don't look good even with the veil on."
"Yes, I'm not good - looking. You're the most good - looking." Su Xiaoliu glared at him angrily.
She wasn't really beautiful, but she wasn't so ugly that she couldn't show her face.
"You're really silly." Chu Weixin suddenly said softly, "Even if you wear a veil, I know who you are."
Su Xiaoliu was stunned. She stared blankly at him. For a moment, she was very afraid that he would say that name...
She didn't want to be anyone's substitute. Because behind the disguise was deep deception. Even if the truth was dug out bloodily, everyone would think that she was the one in the wrong. But what was her fault? Was it wrong to be a substitute?
Chu Weixin suppressed his smile. Under her empty stare, he said softly, "You are... Li Xiaohua who raises pigs next door."
Next - door... pig - raising... Li Xiaohua?
Chu Weixin couldn't help laughing softly and reached out his hand to flick her forehead.
Su Xiaoliu realized that she had been fooled by him. At the same time, she let out a deep sigh of relief...
She glared at him and shouted, "You're the pig - raising Li Xiaohua!"
Seeing her angry reaction, Chu Weixin laughed and said, "Because I don't know your name." After a moment of silence, he added, "I'll call you Li Xiaohua from now on."
Su Xiaoliu was just about to protest when she suddenly thought that it would be bad to say any of her names. After thinking about it, she decided to let him call her that.
Anyway, he had already guessed one of the three characters in her name...
"Li Xiaohua, Li Xiaohua. It sounds so ugly." Su Xiaoliu murmured in a low voice and looked away.
Chu Weixin carried his sword in one hand and picked her up in the other, walking forward.
Su Xiaoliu felt her feet leave the ground. She quickly waved her hands and shouted, "What are you doing! Put me down quickly!"
Chu Weixin let out a soft laugh and said, "We're going to the inn to have lunch, Li Xiaohua."
Before they knew it, it was already noon. Their stomachs growled in due time. Chu Weixin curved his lips into a smile, while Su Xiaoliu gave up resisting and hung her head, letting him carry her.
Sure enough, he's a man. He's so strong...
Su Xiaoliu thought with her head down.
