Starry wine falls.

Even at this time, people are walking in the middle of the night, Yanglu Street and Kongshan Alley are still shining with faint light.

The stars in the sky are like a suspended rainstorm, shining brightly under the reflection of some mysterious light.

Shengzi stands under such starlight.

After not seeing her for many days, this woman who had always been full of energy turned out to be a little thin. Even in the starlight, there was not much brilliance in her eyes.

When Sheng Zi heard Lu Jing's soft call, she seemed to become nervous instantly and turned her head stiffly.

Today, Lu Jing is rarely seen wearing white clothes, with a black sword at his waist, his long black hair tied casually behind his back, and his deep eyes, like jade shining in the dark night.

Shengzi looked at Lu Jing and opened her red lips, but for a moment she didn't know how to respond.

Lu Jing walked up to Sheng Zi with a smile on his face: "You haven't eaten well these days? You look a little thin."

Liu Yemei's graceful and graceful eyebrows relaxed slightly. She hesitated and looked at the carriage in front of Kongshan Lane: "If you rush to the palace, I can wait for you in front of the palace until you are married."

The third prince’s lessons..."

"No need." Lu Jing waved gently to the carriage, and the royal carriage moved forward quietly and drove out of Yanglu Street.

"It's actually still early, and it doesn't matter if you arrive late. The Thirteenth Prince can just practice his pen and ink on his own."

"Then I... will give it to you." Sheng Zi whispered.

The two walked side by side on the street.

Yesterday's snow had not gone away yet, and the snowflakes were scattered on the blue bricks. Lu Jing and Sheng Zi walked quietly like this.

Lu Jing, who was usually quite gentle and took care of other people's feelings, now didn't know what to say.

Shengzi always lowered her head, letting the cold wind blow by, causing her clothes to flutter.

They walked for a long time and passed several streets. Taixuan Palace was already in sight in the distance.

Shengzi's steps became slower and slower, as if she was afraid that Taixuan Palace would arrive and she would have no excuse to linger.

For a long time, this woman who usually wore red and was very arrogant finally couldn't hold it in anymore. She was about to speak when she heard Lu Jing, who was silent all the way, actually looking at the brightly lit palace not far away.

, spoke slowly.

"Actually, I have always wanted to apologize to you." Lu Jing said this way: "That night under the Yanyu Bridge, I actually shouldn't have asked you like that. I was only concerned about my desire to be believed, but I never thought about it at that time.

The person kneeling under my sword is your childhood playmate and your trusted friend."

"If it were me, I wouldn't know how to answer. That impulsive question would probably make you feel confused and at a loss.

Now that I think about it, what I want to ask for is also something I cannot give, such as desperate trust or desperate consideration."

Lu Jing was walking beside Shengzi and spoke these pure words.

Sheng Zhi, who was about to speak just now, turned his head at a loss and stared at Lu Jing's touching profile.

At this time, Lu Jingzhuan turned around and said with a smile on his face: "You see, people actually have selfishness buried in their hearts, just like me.

Where in the world can there be perfect people who never make mistakes?"

He frankly admitted his shortcomings to Shengzi.

Shengzi couldn't help but stand there, looking at the scene like this, and a lot of starlight finally melted in her eyes, becoming crystal clear and bright.

"I came here today because I actually wanted to apologize to you."

Sheng Zi licked her lips and said, "Many of these things have made me very confused. I thought about them for a long time and didn't know how to deal with them.

Later, every time I sit in the courtyard, I will always think of those scenes, and I will always think of what I said to you that day in the courtyard of Kongshan Lane..."

"Because of this, I suddenly figured it out a few days ago.

In fact, many times, I don't need to think too much. Since I said those words to you, even if there are many things that I don't have answers to, I just need to come and see you.

If you are angry, I will apologize to you.

If you don't want to see me, I will wait by the road you must pass every day.

If you don't want to talk to me, I'll write you a letter."

"In this matter, both you and me are

There is no right or wrong.

Since I feel troubled by this matter, why not publish this article, I am willing to apologize for this, and I am also willing to please you for this."

The originally silent grand gesture suddenly became bold, and he looked directly at Lu Jing.

Lu Jing did not shy away from Sheng Zi's blazing eyes. He lowered his head and thought for a moment, then raised his head and asked, "I actually remember that tomorrow is your birthday."

The smile on Shengzi's face became more and more beautiful: "Yes, I will be twenty years old in the blink of an eye. If it were someone else, I'm afraid they would have been married long ago."

"However, it's better to get married later. Just like other young masters and ladies in Xuandu, you can see more scenery that others can't see and don't have to worry about it anymore.

The only bad thing is... I'm three years older than you."

Lu Jinghun didn't care and took the initiative to shake his head and smile: "In that case, I want to wish you a birthday. I have also prepared gifts these days. Although they are not expensive, I have put some thought into them.

If you don't want to invite me, I'll ask Lu Yi to hand it over."

Shengzi's face was slightly red, but for some reason, her eyes were also a little red.

So she hurriedly turned around and waved her hand towards Lu Jing: "Since we can see you tomorrow, you should hurry into Taixuan Palace. If you keep the Thirteenth Prince waiting for too long, you will inevitably lose your etiquette."

"Okay, see you tomorrow." Lu Jing also waved towards Shengzi, and the dark clouds that had accumulated in his heart dissipated a lot.

Shengzi had helped him a lot as early as when he was in the Lu Mansion. At that time, Lu Jing had no wealth and was still a humble concubine and a controversial son-in-law.

Even the people of the same clan in the Lu family were not willing to show him any more kindness. Only this young lady from the Taishu Pavilion's Second Assistant Mansion treated him as equals when they first met, without any arrogance.

The reason why Lu Jing was able to embark on the path of spiritual practice was also because of his grand appearance.

Although it was just a transaction at the time, Shengzi did not care about the pros and cons of the transaction at the time, and bluntly stated that she wanted to make a friend like Lu Jing.

In a real sense, Sheng Zi was the first friend Lu Jing made when he came to this big world. Because of this, Lu Jing also cherished his relationship with Sheng Zi very much.

The two of them said goodbye like this.

Lu Jing headed towards Taixuan Palace.

Shengzi walked towards Changning Street. The difference from before was that at this time, Shengzi's eyes were no longer numb, there was more smile on her face, and even her steps became excited.

She resisted not looking at Lu Jing's back, but after walking dozens of steps, Sheng Zi finally couldn't hold it in anymore. She brushed her long hair behind her back and looked behind her "naturally".

Lu Jing had already arrived in front of Taixuan Palace, and the guards guarding the gate also saluted Lu Jing.

The slender and upright body and the heroic appearance of the young man made Sheng Zi feel a little dazed.

More than three months ago, who would have known that the boy in cold clothes studying in the crevices of the rockery could grow to this point?

"I have a good eye."

Shengzi was in a state of admiration as she blinked her eyes and thought like this when she was just in love.

——

The fact that Lu Jing killed a Shenhuo monk and dragged the body to Wulong Street obviously reached the ears of the Thirteenth Prince.

When Lu Jing was teaching today, the Thirteenth Prince's young eyes shone with even more reverence as he looked closely at Lu Jing in front of him.

It wasn't until the break that the Thirteenth Prince asked with great interest: "Sir, are you really only seventeen years old this year?"

Lu Jing hasn't answered yet.

The Thirteenth Prince patted the table excitedly: "It's really surprising that you can kill a divine fire monk at the age of seventeen."

"Sir, when do you think I will be able to reach the realm of divine fire, wield a sword with divine fire, and travel thousands of miles a day?"

Lu Jing looked at the Thirteenth Prince in front of him, who had red lips and white teeth, and two dimples at the corners of his mouth when he smiled. He didn't hesitate much and said with a smile: "You are of the blood of the Holy King, so you don't have to worry too much. Your talent is naturally not bad.

It seems that someone has already nurtured your spirit and refined your body.

From now on, when you become an adult, you will at least be a divine fire cultivator.

The Thirteenth Prince nodded excitedly, and immediately there was some admiration on his face: "When it comes to talents, the eldest brother, the seventh brother is the most extraordinary. The eldest brother is still young and has already cultivated a body of divine appearance.

I have also practiced the mysterious Bodhisattva method of killing animals, and I may be able to become an immortal in heaven in the future...

Seven Emperors

Brother studies hard on weekdays, although he has never developed the awe-inspiring spirit like Mr., but I went to see him a few days ago, and his eyes moved slightly, and I saw multiple fairyland scenes, as if they were reflected in his double pupils.

An ancient immortal dwelling place.

If my cultivation talent is half as good as theirs, it would be considered excellent."

After Lu Jing heard what the Thirteenth Prince said, he thought for a moment and then wrote.

The pen and ink fell on the paper. When the Thirteenth Prince looked carefully, he saw that the golden page seemed to have ignited a raging fire, shining with flames, as if it wanted to devour everything.

The Thirteenth Prince was stunned. He didn't react until a few breaths passed, and then rubbed his eyes.

The flame and the light also faded away in an instant. Upon closer inspection, the word "violent" was actually written in cursive on the paper.

Lu Jing had already put down the pen in his hand and gently pushed the gold leaf paper forward.
