"What kind of wine is this?"
"It can even attract the clear wind; how magical!"
By the Lotus Lake.
The wandering spirit wind extract was placed on the lawn.
Wisp after wisp of clear wind swirled around the transparent wine bottle.
Xue Qinghe watched this scene, her eyes filled with wonder.
Li Dixian, who was sitting on the grass, heartily eating Three Immortals Chicken, raised his eyebrows.
"You'll know once you taste it."
Xue Qinghe seemingly couldn't wait to take a sip.
In an instant.
A gentle breeze came.
It stirred her hair and her goose-yellow brocade robe.
"Excellent wine, excellent wine!"
"This is the first time I've tasted such a wondrous brew!"
Xue Qinghe exclaimed sincerely:
"Li Dixian, how do you always manage to produce such extraordinary things?"
Li Dixian, his mouth greasy, chuckled as he stared at Xue Qinghe, making her feel uneasy.
"You… why are you looking at me like that?"
Xue Qinghe subconsciously touched her cheek.
"Is there something on my face?"
Li Dixian withdrew his gaze and said casually:
"Nothing."
"I just wanted to ask, don't you have anything to tell me?"
Xue Qinghe sat opposite Li Dixian, her gaze falling on the last remaining chicken wing in the plate.
She had already reached out her hand.
Poised to snatch it from Li Dixian.
But then she had a change of heart, remembering that on her way back, she had resolved to "be even better to Li Dixian," so she pulled her hand back.
"Qian Renxue… you met her?"
Li Dixian nodded.
"I met her."
"She accompanied me these past ten days."
"Sigh…"
Xue Qinghe sighed, smacking her lips:
"I really envy you, having such a beautiful woman accompany you."
"Unlike me, for ten whole days, I've been bogged down with paperwork, so busy I'm dizzy."
Li Dixian glanced at Xue Qinghe.
But Xue Qinghe's gaze was fixed on Li Dixian's face, as if casually pressing:
"Then Qian Renxue… what do you think of her?"
Li Dixian crossed his hands behind his head and slowly leaned back.
"What do you mean, 'what do I think'?"
Xue Qinghe's hands clenched in her sleeves, but her face remained calm.
"Qian Renxue."
"Oh…"
Li Dixian drew out the sound, pausing for more than ten breaths.
Xue Qinghe's lips parted and closed several times in impatience.
Then, a lazy voice finally came.
"An angel descended, very beautiful."
Xue Qinghe's jawline tightened, and her lips pressed down fiercely.
As if she thought of something, she asked:
"Then you say…"
"Qian Renxue, Dugu Yan, Ye Lingling, who is prettier?"
The leisurely expression on Li Dixian's face froze.
Why this question again?
He reluctantly resorted to his trump card.
"Is the appearance of young ladies something we two men should be discussing behind their backs?"
"Qinghe, what does it have to do with you?"
"I…"
Xue Qinghe was choked into silence for a moment, and could only grit her teeth and give up.
She huffed coldly, then lay down on the grass beside Li Dixian.
The clear wind carried the scent of the young man beside her.
It smoothed away the murderous intent that had surged in her heart yesterday.
"Li Dixian…"
A hint of nervousness, which she herself hadn't noticed, entered Xue Qinghe's voice.
"If I arrange for Qian Renxue to often come and see you, would you be willing?"
This time, Li Dixian answered without hesitation.
"Of course, I would."
Xue Qinghe's lips curved slightly.
She felt the clear wind on her face and the soft lawn, and the current situation was the best thing in the world.
However.
She hadn't enjoyed it for long.
Li Dixian leisurely asked:
"Hey, you say if you tell Qian Renxue to come out, she'll come out? What's your relationship with her?"
Xue Qinghe's heart tightened, and panic suddenly appeared.
Immediately after.
She remembered the excuse she had prepared.
"She… is a distant relative of my deceased mother, so she should be my cousin."
Li Dixian closed his eyes and nodded.
"Cousin? That's good…"
Afraid that Li Dixian would delve deeper, Xue Qinghe suddenly sat up, her expression much more serious.
"Li Dixian, I have something to tell you."
"Hmm?"
Li Dixian opened his eyes and looked at her suspiciously.
"What?"
A trace of worry flashed in Xue Qinghe's eyes; she pondered for a moment before slowly saying:
"You should know…"
"The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School and the Heaven Dou Royal Family have always cooperated closely, and School Master Ning Fengzhi is even my teacher."
"Actually, Teacher Ning Fengzhi used to come to Heaven Dou City often, but Sword Douluo Chen Xin had a breakthrough recently, and he needed him to guard him, so he hasn't been here for a long time."
She paused, her gaze fixed on Li Dixian:
"I received news that Teacher Ning Fengzhi will arrive in Heaven Dou City tomorrow."
"Li Dixian, why don't you… leave the city for a few days?"
She and Li Dixian had long been open with each other.
One time, when they were deep in their cups.
Li Dixian told her about his past with the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.
It was precisely because of this that, upon learning of Ning Fengzhi's impending arrival, Xue Qinghe wanted Li Dixian to avoid him.
To prevent an awkward meeting between the two parties.
"School Master Ning is coming?"
A trace of surprise flashed across Li Dixian's handsome face.
He had been wondering earlier.
Given the relationship and proximity between the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School and the Royal Family.
Why Ning Fengzhi hadn't appeared for so long; it turned out he was guarding Chen Xin.
"Speaking of which…"
"The one-month deadline with Senior Chen Xin is also approaching."
He reined in his scattered thoughts, and hearing Xue Qinghe's words "leave the city for a few days," made Li Dixian laugh out of anger.
He couldn't stand it.
Li Dixian raised his hand, flexed his finger, and blew on it.
He flicked Xue Qinghe's smooth forehead.
Pop—
A crisp sound.
Like a thermos stopper being pulled from the bottle neck.
"Li Dixian! What are you doing?!"
Xue Qinghe covered her forehead, her eyes misty with pain.
"Who told you to tell me to hide?"
Li Dixian grumbled as he withdrew his hand, his crossed legs bouncing up and down.
"Why should I hide?"
"I already told you, School Master Ning Fengzhi and I are even."
"Speaking of which, although I left money when I departed, I still have to remember the kindness of being taken in back then; it's just that I have no further ties with the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School in this life."
Seeing Li Dixian so straightforward.
Xue Qinghe quietly breathed a sigh of relief, admiration unconsciously welling up in her eyes.
She asked herself, if it were her, encountering a similar situation, and seeing former elders again, she would absolutely not be as calm as Li Dixian.
After a long silence.
A trace of anger suddenly flashed across Xue Qinghe's face, and she said softly:
"That Ning Rongrong…"
"One day, she will regret her poor judgment."
The smile on Li Dixian's lips paused, and he raised his hand and gave Xue Qinghe another flick on the head.
"It's all in the past…"
He stayed with Xue Qinghe until the sun set in the west.
Only then did the two of them part ways.
Li Dixian remembered that he had promised Ye Lingling to visit the Ye family yesterday.
The time was about right now.
Since he had nothing else to do, Li Dixian sauntered to the entrance of Heaven Dou Royal Academy to wait.
Hmm.
Going to school himself wasn't really his thing.
But watching others go to school was perfectly fine.
Approximately a few minutes later.
A series of clear bell rings echoed throughout the academy.
Immediately after, from the tall and imposing teaching building, a surging crowd of students poured out like a floodgate opening.
The two graceful figures running at the very front were none other than Ye Lingling and Dugu Yan.
Li Dixian was about to step forward.
A young man, a full head taller than the other students and built like an iron tower, rudely pushed through the crowd and rushed to Ye Lingling's side.
"Lingling, don't reject me!"
The young man's voice was like a booming bell, carrying a hint of urgency.
"Although your Ye family is powerful, my Strength Clan isn't bad either!"
He patted his thick chest.
"Even if Sword Wine comes, and you make him compete with me in strength, I, Tai Long, am not afraid!"
No sooner had his bold words fallen.
Some sharp-eyed students had already spotted the white-robed young man at the school gate.
In an instant.
Exclamations of surprise erupted one after another.
"Sword Wine! Sword Wine is here!"
