I am not a villain reborn

Chapter 20 Double Ninth Festival

On the Double Ninth Festival, a round of bright moon hangs in the night sky, the banks of the Xijiang River are full of people, and the fragrance of osmanthus is very lively.

Chen Xi and his party of six walked along the banks of the West River. Due to their outstanding looks, they were all dressed in brocade clothes. They walked with a bit of chic and elegance, which attracted the attention of many people.

Many boys and girls passing by stopped and looked back, guessing which family's young lady they were.

"Thanks to Third Senior Brother this time, we were able to go down the mountain to play! But Third Senior Brother, how did you persuade Second Senior Uncle! A pink-clothed girl in brocade clothes said.

The man in Tsing Yi shook his folding fan lightly and said with a smile: Don't say it! Don't say it! "

"Are you going to guess lantern riddles? Ling Yunxiao looked at Chen Xi beside him and said.

"...No, Chen Xi refused.

"Let's go! Ling Yunxiao took Chen Xi's hand and walked through the crowd to the lantern riddles booth.

Gu Liuyue was talking with Ye Lubai and was about to turn back to look at Chen Xi, but found that Chen Xi and Ling Yunxiao who had been following behind her had long since disappeared. She glanced into the crowd and found that the two were not in the crowd, and when she wanted to turn around It was only when Ye Lubai and Pei Yunsheng were told that the two who had just talked to her had disappeared.

She pulled Han Ruyan a little anxiously and said, "They are too frenzied, they actually left the two of us behind."

Han Ruyan didn't mind smiling at her and said, "Ann! We play with our own, and they play with theirs."

Ling Yunxiao took Chen Xi to the booth selling lanterns and asked, "Chen Xi, do you have any lanterns you want?"

"……No."

Ling Yunxiao took down a fox lantern with a white background and red border, paid the boss, and handed the lantern to Chen Xi: "Take this as a gift from your senior brother, don't throw it away." "

Chen Xi didn't speak but just took the lantern, a little dazed.

Ling Yunxiao dragged him to a booth selling masks again, and he took two, one was a golden half-face mask, with a red gem in the center above the mask, and two hollowed-out golden butterflies and peacock feathers beside it, and The other one is the same style in silver, the difference is that the top of this mask is blue gemstones, Ling Tianqing brought the golden mask in his hand to Chen Xi's face, and brought the silver mask to his own face, nodding in satisfaction .

Ling Yunxiao sighed: "It seems that wearing a mask still can't hide our natural handsomeness."

Chen Xi said from the side: "You are too narcissistic...."

Ling Yunxiao dragged Chen Xi into the crowd again. Because the flow of people was too crowded, the two of them were gradually pushed away by the people around them. When Ling Yunxiao turned around, Chen Xi could no longer be seen.

When he was searching aimlessly, exclamations suddenly came from around him, and some people shouted: "Someone fell downstairs!"

He turned around and looked, and saw a beautiful woman in red dress on the tall building, who seemed to be tripped by the skirt under her feet, was turning out from the railing on the tall building and falling down, at this moment a A familiar figure flew up and caught the woman, and the crowd immediately applauded.

The woman got off Chen Xi's body and stood firmly on the ground, smiling, "Little idiot, you finally did a good deed."

Chen Xi glanced at her and said, "Why haven't you left yet?"

When Cheng Xue heard the words, she immediately had a hurt expression: "Is there anyone who talks like that, you idiot? You just want me to go."

"No, it's just that it's not safe for you to stay here."

Cheng Xue patted him with a smile and said, "Thank you for your concern. I'm leaving tomorrow, and I hope to see you again."

"take care."

Cheng Xue looked at the lamp in his hand curiously and said, "Hey, it's a fox lamp. Can you give it to me as a parting gift?"

Chen Xi hesitated for a while before handing her the lamp in her hand, Cheng Xue said with a smile on her face, "Thank you, little idiot, you and sister Xiaoyue are the best people I have met in this world."

"Goodbye. Saying that, Cheng Xue turned around and walked into the crowd. Chen Xi stood there and watched her figure gradually disappear in the crowd.

Ling Yunxiao suddenly felt uncomfortable in his heart, stepped forward and patted him on the shoulder, with a smile on his face and said: "Little Chenxi, you are really blessed! You also know such a beautiful woman, and you still give me to you All the lamps have been given away."

Chen Xi glanced at him and said: "She is saying goodbye to me, she is a demon, this world is not where she should come."

When Ling Yunxiao heard the words, he immediately swept away the depression in his heart and said with a smile: "I thought that person was the one you admired! You are still young, and the matter of men and women should be discussed when you are older.

Ling Yunxiao was in a good mood and took Chenxi to set off the river lanterns. Ling Yunxiao bought two lotus lanterns, put one in Chenxi's hands, and held the other by himself, and took Chenxi to the shore.

"If you have any wish, you can use this river lantern to pray for blessings. He will bring your wish to Tianhe, and the gods guarding Tianhe will make your wish come true, Ling Yunxiao looked at Chen Xi and said.

"I don't believe that.

All right!Then just play it with me!Ling Yunxiao used magic to light the river lamp and looked at Chen Xidao.

Ah!

Chen Xi thought in her heart: "I would like to follow Ling Yunxiao forever."

The two stood on the bank and watched the river lanterns flowing down the river in silence for a long time.

Ye Lubai asked worriedly: "Is it really okay for us to leave Xiaoyue and Ruyan like this?"

"Nothing, they can find a place to play by themselves, let's enjoy the lantern!" Pei Yunsheng pointed at the lantern.

Ye Lubai said softly: "I never thought of saving your life many years ago, but now we have become best friends."

Pei Yunsheng shook the paper fan lightly and smiled: "More than once, I would have thanked you at that time, if it weren't for you, I wouldn't be where I am today."

Ye Lubai asked in surprise, "Why did you say that?"

"It's been many years ago. I don't know if you still remember that I once gave a ragged child a bag of silver on the street."

"That person is you?" Ye Lubai said in surprise.

"Yeah! It's ridiculous! A young master of the Shangshu Mansion! But time and time again he was reduced to the point of needing to live on the street. That was the fifth time I escaped. If I hadn't met you, I would have died on the street long ago, Pei Yunsheng sneered.

Ye Lubai said with emotion: "I didn't expect you to have this experience. I have known you for more than [-] years and I have never really understood you. It is hard for you to go back and see you for so many years!"

Pei Yunsheng smiled and sighed: "So what if I go back! It's not my home anymore! There is nothing I can miss in the place where my mother is dead!"

"Are you always like this?"

"So what? Pei Yunsheng asked."

"I like to cover up my scars with a smile so much, and I pretend to be indifferent even though my heart is already crying. Can you hear your heart crying?"

Pei Yunsheng smiled bitterly: "You are the first person to tell me that my heart still cries!"

"Stop tearing your heart out, your smile makes people look ugly, you know?"

"Since I was born, I have understood that I have no right to pain, because no one in this world will love me except my mother, and I don't want my mother to feel sad because of me, so I can only learn to hide all pain with a smile. Some masks can’t be taken off after wearing for a long time.”

Ye Lubai looked at Pei Yunsheng distressedly and said, "Do you know that your smile makes me look very sad? Let yourself go, Pei Yunsheng!"

Pei Yunsheng took a step forward and hugged Ye Lubai, buried his head in his neck and began to sob. This was the first time he was so emotional. Ye Lubai hugged him and patted his back and said, "It's me as a friend. You've been dereliction of duty, and you have never discovered the bitterness behind your smile for so many years, and from now on, you will never need to suppress yourself in front of me, because I will feel sorry for you Yun Sheng, do you know?"

The passers-by looked curiously at the two men who were embracing each other, but they didn't speak, but walked around them silently and walked straight into the crowd.

At this time, Gu Liuyue and Han Ruyan were standing at the place where they parted at the beginning, holding a butterfly lamp and looking around, while Chen Xi and Ling Yunxiao walked over through the crowd. At this time, Pei Yunsheng and Ye Lubai also came back, Gu Liu Seeing a few people coming back, Yue couldn't help saying angrily: "Okay! You guys actually left us and ran away!

Han Ruyan tugged at Gu Liuyue's clothes, looking at the weird four people, Gu Liuyue stopped what she was about to blurt out.

None of the four opened their mouths, even the most gentle emperor uncle was silent at the moment, the four of them had their own concerns on the way back and did not open their mouths, only Gu Liuyue wondered what happened after she and Han Ruyan left, asking for knowledge Wanting to make her feel like a cat's claw in her heart, but she knew that if she spoke at this time, she would be beaten to death by four people. In the end, her desire for survival was greater than her desire for knowledge, so she gave up this idea and followed everyone silently.

In the end, it was Ling Yunxiao who broke the silence first, and said with a smile on his face, "Do you know my identity?"

Chen Xi nodded: "You are the prince of Xihuang Kingdom."

Ling Yunxiao looked at him in surprise: "How do you know?"

Han Ruyan said embarrassingly: "Actually, senior brother, I have drawn your experience from birth to immortality into my drawing book."

Ling Yunxiao was a little dumb: "I thought you didn't know."

Chen Xi looked at him: "Actually, the entire Immortal Sect knows about it."

Han Ruyan asked suspiciously: "But senior brother, I'm really curious! Why did you insist on coming to Xianyue Mountain to cultivate immortality instead of being the crown prince?"

Ling Yunxiao said lightly: "Because I have to study every day in the palace! So I ran away from home and wandered around the world. At the beginning, I heard that Dao Lingzi from the Taishang Xianmen is the number one in the world, and then I wanted to challenge him. Knowing that you lost, you can only be his disciple."

Gu Liuyue looked at him in surprise and said, "I never thought you would be so young and frivolous, brother! You are so courageous to challenge Master."

Ling Yunxiao waved his hand and said: "Don't say that Master's palm almost crippled me back then."

Han Ruyan said: "Then it is a miracle that you survived."
