The rain was hitting the banana leaves "tick-tick-tick-tick". Murong Peilan stopped next to the banana. Yi Jiangxue looked at the man through the rain curtain. They had met twice before, and this was the first time.
She kidnapped Murong Qingyin, and he came to look for her in a hurry; but last time, the sky was dark, and she was so flustered that she didn't look at him carefully...
This was the first time I saw him like this.
Part of his blue clothes were dyed dark blue by the raindrops. His face looked a little blurred under various rain curtains, but it could not hide his gentle and elegant temperament. Just when she was secretly sizing him up, Murong Peilan suddenly looked towards him.
She looked over.
Their eyes met, and she lowered her head in panic, but he gave her a faint smile.
"Lv Zhu, ask Miss Xing'er to come to my study later." Murong Peilan said to Lu Zhu.
"Yes." Luzhu nodded.
The rain became heavier, and the rain fell on the tiles, making a crisp and sweet sound, which brought some fun to the dull world. Yi Jiangxue wore a white plain clothes and was led by Lu Zhu to Murong Peilan's house.
study.
This was the first time she came to Murong Peilan's study. This room faced the southeast and had a large window through which she could see beautiful lotus flowers.
At this moment, with the windows open, there are raindrops blown in by the wind, leaving many water stains on the floor, bit by bit, like an ink painting painted on the ground.
Murong Peilan was standing beside the bed. At this time, he changed into a dark gown with water patterns embroidered with silver thread. His hair was still slightly wet and draped over his shoulders, but it did not reduce his elegant aura at all.
At this moment, he was holding scissors and concentrating on pruning a potted plant.
When Yi Jiangxue walked in, he stopped what he was doing and smiled elegantly at him:
"Coming?"
His voice is very gentle, and he has a scholarly air when he speaks. He is approachable. Anyone who meets such a man will feel friendly.
"Hello, Mr. Murong." Yi Jiangxue greeted him politely.
"You have a nice voice."
Murong Peilan smiled, put the scissors in his hand aside, reached out and washed his hands in the silver basin on the side, then slowly wiped his hands clean, walked towards Yi Jiangxue, stretched out his hand, and made a
The action of "please".
"I got some high-quality tea recently, would you like to taste it together?" He asked with a smile, his attitude was extremely humble, and he was not at all arrogant and arrogant like a young man from aristocratic families.
Of course Yi Jiangxue knew that Murong Peilan's visit to her was definitely not just about drinking tea, and he would not save her for no reason. She had been waiting for him for the past three days, waiting for him to answer the questions in her heart.
"Being respectful is worse than obeying orders." She smiled and followed him.
On the other side of the study room is a square mahogany tea table, with two chairs on each side, and a variety of tea sets in the middle. They look like top quality at first glance, and every piece is probably worth a fortune.
Green Bamboo poured a pot of boiling water aside and then left.
Murong Peilan elegantly poured the boiling water into the tea set and brewed the tea leaves. Naturally, the first tea was not drinkable. He poured the tea into the container on the side and poured the boiling water into the tea set.
The faint fragrance of tea floated out, slowly spreading in the air, and it smelled unusually good. Yi Jiangxue was not a tea lover, but she was still intoxicated by this tea fragrance.
"please."
When Yi Jiangxue closed her eyes involuntarily and enjoyed the fragrance of the tea, Murong Peilan handed her a cup of tea and made a "please" gesture towards her very elegantly.
"Thank you." Yi Jiangxue said.
Murong Peilan smiled faintly and said nothing. He picked up the tea cup gracefully, first smelled it lightly, and then took a slow sip.
He didn't say anything, and Yi Jiangxue didn't speak either, but followed him in silence to sip tea.
Amidst the fragrance of tea, they were silent for about a quarter of an hour. Murong Peilan just poured tea for Yi Jiangxue and said:
"You must be curious about why the entire Murong family is chasing you, but I, the young master, saved you, right?"
He asked directly, and Yi Jiangxue nodded straightforwardly.
"If someone discovers him, it will be difficult for Mr. Murong to explain, right?"
Yi Jiangxue said, although Murong Peilan is already the young master of the Murong family and the future head of the Murong family, the competition in this family is fierce and the young masters are also intrigues among themselves. If he is caught, Murong Peilan's status will not be the same.
She will definitely be able to keep it... Under such circumstances, Murong Peilan actually took such a desperate risk, so she must be of great value to him. She knew these words in her heart, but did not say it clearly, but it did not mean that Murong Peilan did not know clearly.
When dealing with people like Murong Peilan, sometimes no words are needed at all, just a look or an action, and everything is clear.
He looked at Yi Jiangxue, laughed loudly, and said:
"If I dare to keep you, I'm confident that no one will find out."
Yi Jiangxue looked at the tea in the tea cup, then looked at Murong Peilan sitting opposite, and said:
"You are very confident."
"But I won't be so boring that I leave the entire family, or even the enemies of the entire martial arts world, behind just because of my confidence." Murong Peilan raised his eyebrows and said with a smile, "I am leaving you because I want you to do something for me."
The greater the risk, the more difficult it is to do something.
Yi Jiangxue definitely understands this truth.
"My little girl's martial arts skills are low and she doesn't have any influence in the world. I wonder what Young Master Murong asked me to do?" Yi Jiangxue asked.
"hehe……"
Murong Peilan took out the folding fan placed on the table, unfolded it with a "pop" sound, and smiled at Yi Jiangxue coolly:
"Don't worry, Miss Yi, what I ask you to do is definitely what you want to do now, and what you want to do most."
What she wants to do is to seek revenge from Baili Feng. Could it be that...
As soon as Yi Jiangxue thought this, Murong Peilan, who was opposite her, closed the folding fan with a snap and said:
"Yes, what I want to do is to kill Feng Xiaojiang, and only you can do this."
Yi Jiangxue was suddenly startled. She suddenly stared at Murong Peilan motionless, extremely wary.
How could it be such a coincidence?
Moreover, Murong Peilan and Bai Lifeng had no grievances. To a certain extent, Bai Lifeng was still his brother-in-law. The marriage between the Murong family and Bai Lifeng was also based on the principle of mutual utilization...
Although the Murong family is the number one family in the world, its power has been damaged since the war with the Demon Cult ten years ago and it faces many challenges. If it wants to consolidate its position as the number one family in the world, it may need to cooperate with various forces.
Why would Murong Peilan want to kill such a good ally as Baili Feng?
