After Xue Yao and Qi Di disappeared from view together, Lu Yi's time seemed to freeze.
The crowd pushed him forward and backward, leaving two footprints on the insteps of his boots, but he didn't even realize it, accepting all the pushing, shoving, disliking, and ignoring as if he were a tumbler.
It doesn't even matter.
Xue Yao was gone, and he was used to being treated like this by others, wasn't he?
The instinct of self-preservation helped Lu Yi to pass the first two moments numbly.
He can not afford the heartache, usually left to time to deal with, dealt with, and then back to God, the line of sight from blurred to become clear, coincidentally saw not far away, jewelry shopkeeper let shopkeeper to carry a long ladder, to climb up to the roof, to take down the remaining several lanterns.
The shopkeeper had his mate hold the ladder, and he himself tucked the hem of his coat into his belt and wobbled his fat body up the creaky ladder to the roof.
He reached out for the lanterns while cursing and complaining that the roof tiles had been trampled by the sword-dancing boy.
The shopkeeper just did not squeak, is to see that the young man attracted so many customers, thought there can be a few by the way into the store for a stroll, did not think that the young man left, then empty, only to leave him a few pieces of broken tiles.
While the tiles weren't worth a few bucks, the dashed expectations were worth a couple of curses like that from him.
After he threw down the lanterns one by one, he slowly walked down the bamboo ladder, turned around and was shocked to see a young man in a peacock blue tunic standing quietly behind him.
"You! What are you doing you!" The shopkeeper's body leaned back with a stunned face.
The male didn't say anything and raised his hand to hand him a silver ingot.
The shopkeeper looked down and hurriedly smiled with his haunches and said, "What goods do you want to see, please come in and sit down."
Lu Yi shook his head expressionlessly and said in a low voice, "Compensate you for the broken tiles on your roof."
"Huh?" The shopkeeper looked puzzled.
"The one who just picked the lanterns is my brother."
"Ah! It's okay, it's okay ...... These few pieces of broken tiles are not worth so much silver money!"
"Take it." Lu Zhan didn't nag him.
The shopkeeper accepted the silver with a puzzled look on his face, just to see the dandy turn away like a wandering spirit.
"These two brothers are weird." The shopkeeper shook his head with a blank expression.
Lu Zhan wandered like a wandering soul, walked into a tavern, followed the shopkeeper to the second floor, found a silent elegant room facing the lake, Lu Zhan walked in and sat down.
"Eh! Sir, I'm sorry, this elegant room has already been booked by a guest, and will be here in a moment, so please follow me to the next door to take a look!" The store assistant hurriedly smiled.
Lu Yi's eyes stared blankly at the quiet night outside the window, raised his hand and put a silver ingot on the table with a "thud".
The store assistant's eyes are bright, both hands hold up the silver and smiled: "I went to discuss with that master to switch, customer please sit slowly!"
Only Lu Zhan was finally left in the elegant room.
He's the only one left.
When Fifth Brother gets married, he must take care of the family like Big Brother, and Yao Yao goes with Seventh Brother.
He thought that it wouldn't be bad if Third Brother was still around, if Third Brother was around, he would be able to join forces with Yao Yao to protect Seventh Brother, like when he was a child.
But does Chitti still need protection?
A noise outside the door interrupted his thoughts.
"I remember booking this one."
"Sir, you've misremembered, this room already has a guest, here please--"
"You're trying to fool me with this palm-sized store? I remember correctly, this is the one!"
With the man's lazy but firm voice, the door to the elegant room was kicked open.
Lu Yi slowly turned his head and looked at the person who walked in with a cold expression-
The man who entered was dressed in a pine green tunic, his eyes narrow and diffuse, and he looked a little familiar, but he didn't have the heart to think hard about where he'd seen him before.
"I've booked this elegant room first, so please move to another place." The man walked up to Lu Zhan, his right hand beckoned upwards, and with a ruffled expression, he asked Lu Zhan to get lost.
Lu Yi didn't say anything, took out another ingot of silver and placed it on the table, signaling the man to take the silver and leave.
These silver were originally prepared to buy night market trinkets to coax Xue Yao, and now Lu Yi feels that in his sleeve pocket are hot arm, want to hurry to make out.
"What's the meaning of this, rich young master?" The man in green raised one side of his facial eyebrow, raised his leg, stepped on the edge of Lu Yi's chair, leaned down close to his face, and said provocatively, "What's the point of dispatching a beggar?"
Lu Yi still didn't answer, put all the remaining silver in the money bag on the table with a "thud" sound, and then looked at the man in green with the eyes of "Enough is enough".
The man lowered his head and grinned a mouthful of white teeth, then when he looked up at Lu Zhan, his eyes were already full of the viciousness unique to males, and he stared down at Lu Zhan in a low voice and said, "Get up and drive."
In normal times, Lu Zhan would not dwell on this kind of thing with people, after all, this is really the elegant room that people booked first, but today is different.
He felt that the seventh brother never reasoned with people, a beep, can make so many people to accommodate, why he Lu Zun reasoning and humility all his life, occasionally capricious once, have to halfway to stop?
So he met the man with the same cold gaze, and took back the silver on the table into his sleeve pocket, with the look of a little scoundrel, "I won't get up and go."
This is the first time Lu Yi grew up with people playing rogue, a little lack of unreasonable experience, not yet the other side of the anger, he first aggrieved on the eyes actually a little red.
Seeing that he was going to lose a chunk of his momentum, Lu Zhan hurriedly tilted his face and roared, "If you don't go away, don't blame me for being impolite!"
The man in green froze, feeling as if he had heard a crying voice, taking a closer look, this little male's eyes were really teary, and he was instantly happy, asking him, "How are you being nonchalant? Ready to shout for help?"
Lu Yi's ears burned as he raised his hand in a bagua palm and pushed it towards the man in green.
I didn't expect the other party is more slippery than a loach, constantly sidestepping to avoid the moves and lazily using only one hand to retaliate, in less than five rounds, Lu Zun was actually picked up by the man in green as if he was carrying a chicken, and flung it to the side!
"Understood." The man cheaply clasped his fists and comfortably sat on the chair Lu Zhan had just sat on!
Lu Zun this moment even the same to die with the mind have, he at least practiced martial arts for so many years, whether it is the training of the Royal Instructor or the Bagua Palm taught by Zhang Si, even if the talent is not as good as the Seventh Brother, it is not so bad that he will lose to a commoner, is not it?
Unable to endure such humiliation, Lu Yi clenched his teeth and attacked the man again!
Some people explode into amazing potential when they are angry, and some people misbehave when they are angry.
Unfortunately Old Six fell into the latter category and was defeated even faster than he had just been, being pushed away from the man.
"Guest ...... don t fight Guest, there are elegant rooms ...... next door," the shopkeeper persuaded the fight.
"I want this one!" Lu roared hysterically, as if he wanted to explode the suppressed temper of twenty years of life.
But he couldn't beat the man in green ......
What to do?
Lu Yi gritted his teeth and ran to the opposite side of the man's table and sat down on his butt, slanting his eyes and glaring at each other!
"Serve me the most expensive dishes in your store." Lu Zhan spoke viciously, "All expenses in this elegant room will be put on my account!"
The man in green was confused, momentarily unable to tell if this young gentleman was a friend or foe, tilting his head and questioning, "You're not one of my Gu's followers, are you? No wonder you look familiar, and you're deliberately occupying my elegant room to get my attention? Heh, first time I've stumbled upon this kind of treat from you." He pursed his lips and pointed at Lu Zhan, narrowing his eyes, "Yes, Gu Mou will remember you."
"Don't be so self-righteous!" Lu Zhan was even more furious: "Have I ever seen you and still a follower, who do you think you are?"
In fact, I've actually seen it before, Xue Yao was "kidnapped" by Gu Qingyuan, and when Gu Qingyuan went out to buy pork, he was caught by Lu Qian and his three brothers.
At that time, Old Five and Old Six both had a few moves with Gu Qingyuan, and because they lost so quickly, they gave him a run for his money before they had a chance to mix their faces.
Gu warrior this time into the capital, is ready to enter the palace to check the progress of the little brother sword practice, very low-key, along the way to get rid of a lot of little fans, I did not expect to be in this tavern, encountered a suspected "means of perversion of diehard fans".
I stared at this fanatic for a long time, and then the food was served.
Lu Zhan angrily picked up his chopsticks and started eating with his food.
Gu Qingyuan then thought away from the pervert who couldn't cope, it was better to just go along with him, so he also picked up his chopsticks and clamped down on the food.
"Do you want a face?" Lu Zhan couldn't believe it and reached out to open the chopsticks of the man in green, "You're not allowed to eat!"
Gu Qingyuan still looked at him in that gangly manner and tilted his head, "You called the dishes to my elegant room and didn't let me eat them, what do you mean?"
"I'm going to eat it for you!" This was the most vicious means of retaliation that the well-behaved Lu Yi could think of.
Gu Qingyuan laughed coldly and frowned again in serious criticism, "Don't you think it's too cruel to do such a thing to an admired warrior."
"Master admires you!" Although Lu Zhan was still fighting, his heart inexplicably had a feeling of unrestrained joy, he had never shown such a wanton side in front of anyone in his life.

What 49%?
Who is this kid secretly in love with?
Xue Yao stared sideways at Lu Qian suspiciously.
Straightening his back, His Highness moved toward his young companion, shrugging his shoulders up and urging him to keep leaning in with an expectant look.
"Did Your Highness just meet someone?" Xue Yao had just finished his question when he was pressed by Lu Qian's outstretched dragon claw on his head and forced to lean on his shoulder!
[System Alert: Tyrant's Heartbeat Quest Progress 51%]
Xue Yao's heart instantly missed a beat, her pair of phoenix eyes widened, her brain deadlocked for a moment before she suddenly pushed away His Highness's claws and looked sideways at Lu Qian in dismay.
Unhappy, Lu Qian pointed his finger at his arm and commanded domineeringly, "Here, lean."
Xue Yao's thoughts were in disarray, as if she wanted to corroborate some horrible suspicion, and slowly tilted her head to lean on Lu Qian's arm.
[System Alert: Tyrant's Heartbeat Quest Progress 52%]
Xue Yao's face went white as she raised her head and looked blankly at Lu Qian's perfect side face under the moonlight.
After a pause, he tried again to lean on Lu Qian's shoulder.
After a few passes, the heartbeat quest progress did not increase any further.
Xue Yao, however, still held that conjecture in her heart, so she grabbed Lu Qian's arm and tried to twist her body.
Mission progress immediately went up again!
Xue Yao felt a wave of heavenly rotation.
Looking down at the red lantern resting in his lap, he was filled with stupefaction.
"Sixth brother kissed Yao Yao?" Lu Qian sidled his head, converging his pupils to stare dangerously at his little companion in question.
Xue Yao looked up at him for a long moment before shaking his head sluggishly.
"Ear to ear?" Lu Qian continued his interrogation.
Xue Yao shook his head again, his heart racing little by little, his brain constantly growling, It won't. It won't.
"What about holding hands?" Lu Qian continued his interrogation.
Xue Yao looked down at his hands, thinking that just now Warm Baby did pull on him a bit, so he nodded honestly to Lu Qian.
As soon as Lu Qian opened his eyes, he immediately grabbed his little companion's hand and rubbed it vigorously clean toward the hem of his own shirt!
Xue Yao violently backhanded Lu Qian's hand.
Lu Qian looked up and met the young chaperone's round, frightened eyes.
The full moon in the night sky was obscured by clouds and the light suddenly dimmed.
Quiet night, two boys crouching behind firewood, just staring at each other in silence.
Lu Qian raised his hand and patted the head of the little companion who somehow looked terrified, "Don't be afraid, Master is here."
"Your Highness ......," Xue Yao's lips shivered slightly, "Do you have a lover in mind?"
Intended? Lu Jun had heard this word in the talking books and immediately hooked his lips and smiled smugly.
"Who is it?" Xue Yao's trembling voice broke, "Who is the person Your Highness likes?"
Lu Qian felt that the little companion read such a knowing question is particularly exciting, immediately cooperate with the search from the brain out of the lines in the playbook, especially manly to tell the little companion read: "The man family does not put the children's love on the mouth!"
"Stop it!" Xue Yao started shaking all over, "I want you to say! Who is the person you like!"
Lu Qian was roared by him, a pair of shallow pupils, in the night color like that mesmerized at the little companion, flatly added a few points of indulgent favor.
There was a watery light flickering in Xue Yao's eyes, as if she was eagerly waiting for his answer, and as if she was waiting for a death sentence.
Lu Qian didn't bother to make him wait too long.
Suddenly bend your head.
Kissed the young companion's cold lips.
Xue Yao's eyes emptied for a moment.
The sound of his own frantic heartbeat was all over his ears.
The dark night seemed to be lit up by the kiss.
