283. Chapter 280 New 0254 Pretend to be B or punch in the face
Several pieces of clumps of toilet paper lay staggered in the wastebasket, and the bright red color that had not yet dried was shocking.
"Damn! It's like an aunt is here..."
The nosebleed was as if he had eaten Xuanmai chewing gum and couldn't stop at all. Li Mengnan was too lazy to wipe it over and over again, so he simply picked up two pieces of toilet paper and stuffed it into his nostrils. At first glance, it looked like he had two sticks.
Funny ivory.
Fortunately, the blood volume was not large, otherwise he would have had to go to Minnie's to borrow an aunt's towel for emergency relief.
After applying ice to the back of the neck and physically blocking it for more than half an hour, the flow of nosebleeds finally subsided. Although extravasation still occurred from time to time, it was within the acceptable range.
He opened his eyelids, and the inside of his eyeballs were slightly congested. The cobweb-like red blood threads made him look like he had been playing dungeons for several nights in a row, and his face looked slightly haggard.
This was a mental trauma caused by the backlash of mental power. In serious cases, the body would bleed to death. Li Mengnan only had a symbolic nosebleed, so he was quite lucky.
It's not that he is overly optimistic. This amount of blood loss is really symbolic for the backlash damage caused by mental power.
There is no doubt that this assassination plan failed.
Li Mengnan did not expect that there would be someone from the Qi Sect protecting Xia Yutian. It had always been smooth sailing since arriving in Sanshan City, so much so that he began to lose his most basic vigilance.
This failure cannot be completely considered a bad thing, at least it has once again sounded the alarm for him - for an illusionist with low direct combat ability, caution is always the first priority.
(By the way, some readers asked why this book is sometimes referred to as "magician" and sometimes "illusionist". Here is an explanation - illusion is a strange art, and it is not unique to the line of magicians. Anyone who masters illusion can
It can be called "Illusionist", and "Juggler" is a life occupation. You can refer to the difference between "Swordsman" and "Escort Master". It's just that the magician relies more heavily on illusions, unlike other strange sects.
The profession only uses illusion as an optional auxiliary ability, so the magician is closer to a pure illusionist than other strange professions.)
Li Mengnan can roughly guess the identity of the Qimen who intervened in this matter - more than 90% of the mental power returned to him belongs to his own mental power, similar to the force rebound after hitting a hard wall. This bias
The defensive style of counterattack is typical of the style of Feng Shui masters of the "good old man" in Qimen.
Just as jugglers are the most profound in the study of illusions among all the Qi sects, Feng Shui masters are also unique in the art of formation, and no other Qi sect can compare with it.
What Feng Shui masters are best at is setting up formations based on momentum. They take the route of moving a thousand pounds with four ounces, and use their own power to move the momentum of the world. The Feng Shui formations they set up are often so powerful that they are shocking. Even a novice can often easily compete with others.
The elite of Qimen.
However, this kind of cheating power also comes at a price. The biggest weakness of the Feng Shui master lineage is that the formation takes a long time and cannot be moved. Therefore, more than 90% of the Feng Shui master's inheritance is purely defensive formation, and the remaining 10% is
They are the trapping formation and the killing formation.
In view of the fact that their ability to engage in encounters is almost zero, since ancient times, the Feng Shui masters have always pursued a policy of absolute neutrality, behaved in a low-key manner, valued peace, and never intervened in any strange fights. They also used their own Feng Shui skills as a stepping stone.
, prospered for a while in the secular world.
If it weren't for the man-made catastrophe that affected all Qimen decades ago, Feng Shui masters would definitely be the Qimen lineage with the largest number of disciples.
In fact, this is true even now...but how much of it is true is not necessarily true.
With such a mysterious Feng Shui master in charge, it will not be that easy to kill Xia Yutian. Even if the Feng Shui master line stipulates that successors are prohibited from intervening in any strange or secular battles, at least within the Feng Shui array they have set up
, it is absolutely impossible to sit back and watch one's patrons being killed by other members of the Qi Sect.
This is a matter of destroying one's own brand.
There is no level distinction among the people in Qimen that can be used as a reference for comparison, but just because the opponent can use an uncontrolled Feng Shui formation to break all his illusions, Li Mengnan knows that it is not possible for him to fight head-on with the opponent for the time being.
It's not that the opponent's cultivation level is higher than his. This is actually like an ancient siege battle. The defending side always has a greater advantage.
The Feng Shui array is the Feng Shui master's city.
Xia Yutian must die, but Li Mengnan is not so stubborn that he has to kill him in a short time. Anyway, he has already shown his attitude and his thoughts are clear. It doesn't matter whether he kills him one day earlier or one day later.
It's important.
Anyway, he's just a bastard of war, so I'll deal with him when I think of it one day.
This shows the extent of Li Mengnan's sinister nature. How do you say that - death is not scary, the scary thing is waiting to die. He patted his ass and left, but Xia Yutian is still sitting at home in fear.
I couldn't have imagined that Li Mengnan would have forgotten all his bad things at this moment.
There was a slight sound of footsteps outside the room.
Li Mengnan subconsciously reached out to turn off the light, but as soon as his hand touched the switch, he burst into laughter. He didn't do anything wrong, so he turned off the light in a panic, but it seemed like he was hiding something.
The door handle gently rotated forty-five degrees, and a curious eye appeared in the darkness in the crack of the door.
"Are you planning a night attack? Do you want me to lie in bed and cooperate?"
Li Mengnan, who was hiding behind the door, opened the door suddenly, and Minnie who was about to poke her head outside the door was startled.
This "scare" is no longer an adjective, but a verb. Although Li Mengnan did not notice how Minnie took off, the turbulent waves under the thin clothes on her chest could not be faked.
"Who...who wants to attack you at night?" Minnie glared at him angrily, "I just got up and went to the bathroom, and saw some bloody toilet paper in the wastebasket, and the light happened to be on in your room.
So just..."
"Are you worried that something will happen to me?" Li Mengnan crossed his arms and smiled.
"Humph, I'm just afraid that no one will notice you in the room if you die."
Minnie actually wanted to have a good talk with Li Mengnan, but every time the words came to her lips, she couldn't help but say something unpleasant. Even she didn't know what was wrong with her.
"It's nothing serious, it's just a nosebleed... Men are very angry, you know."
Li Mengnan shrugged, pretending to be indifferent, but the two ivory-like toilet paper rolls ruined his free and easy expression, causing Minnie to chuckle.
"You look better when you smile." Li Mengnan praised sincerely. Since learning about the death of her father Mitong, Minnie has not smiled for a long time.
Minnie curled her lips disdainfully, rolled her eyes at him and said, "Brother, you already have a girlfriend, is it appropriate for you to tease me like this?"
"I'm obviously complimenting you, okay? Why did it turn into teasing you?"
Instead of saying it was teasing, Li Mengnan felt like he was being teased. This girl seemed to be expressing her dissatisfaction, but her tone sounded full of resentment, especially the "brother" was a stroke of genius.
"Do you mind if I come in and sit down?"
"Are you sure?"
Li Mengnan subconsciously glanced at the time on the wall clock.
One thirteen in the morning.
"Are you guilty?" Minnie raised an eyebrow.
Well, to show that he was open-minded, Li Mengnan opened the door and respectfully invited Minnie into the room.
"Would you like a Coke?" Li Mengnan opened the small refrigerator next to the writing desk.
"I don't drink carbonated drinks, they are too high in calories."
Li Mengnan closed the refrigerator door, took a glass of warm water in front of the water dispenser, handed it to Minnie's hand, and said with a smile: "Why, are you still losing weight?"
"Losing weight is a lifelong career for a woman... I have been eating too much recently and my weight is on the rise. I need to control it a little. I don't want to wait until I can squeeze a swimming ring around my waist before suddenly losing weight. Even if I lose weight, it will be unhealthy.
.”
Minnie lowered her head and took a sip, holding the water glass in her hands to warm her hands.
"Although I don't agree with your views on women's weight loss, I want to praise you for the last sentence - no matter how good your figure is, it is only for others to see, health is your own."
"Not every man thinks like you do, otherwise there wouldn't be so many women risking their lives for plastic surgery and breast augmentation." Minnie curled her lips and seemed to be feeling a little emotional.
"Don't make me sound so great and upright. In fact, I have always been a common person. This is what we say to our own talents. It is a double standard."
Li Mengnan raised the Coke can and grinned, revealing eight neat white teeth.
Minnie stared at Li Mengnan's face and hummed softly: "Men are all visual animals."
"It can also be said that 'everyone has a love for beauty'. This is actually a dialectical relationship where the butt determines the head."
Throwing the empty Coke can accurately into the trash can in the corner, Li Mengnan dragged a chair and sat across from Minnie.
"When are you going to go back to bed?"
"Do you dare to be more obvious about your expulsion order?" Minnie glared at him with an unhappy expression, "I have insomnia."
"Oh, there are games and movies on the computer, you can find them yourself... I'm going to bed first, good night."
In the past, it would have been okay to stay up all night with Minnie. Today, Li Mengnan suffered a lot of mental backlash. He really couldn't muster any energy, so he just pulled up the quilt and climbed into bed.
Minnie looked blankly at Li Mengnan, who only left her with a back. Then she realized that this guy actually threw her in the room and fell asleep first. An inexplicable shame and anger surged into her heart. She got up and grabbed the corner of the quilt and went to sleep.
He wants to throw off the quilt and get mad.
But for some reason, her movements slowed down inexplicably. She bit her red lips lightly, a very complicated expression flashed in her charming eyes. After a moment, she silently turned off the bedside lamp, lifted the quilt and got in, lying back to back.
came to Li Mengnan's side.
"Are you free next Saturday night?" Minnie asked softly, looking at the roof of the shed.
"What's up?"
Li Mengnan's voice came from behind, but his body still didn't move.
"Junior high school reunion."
"Is it just that boring party where a bunch of idiots show off their superiority in front of a bunch of bitter idiots in the name of friendship?"
"What you said is really unpleasant, even though it is true."
"The truth is hard to hear." Li Mengnan smiled softly, "Do you need me to pretend to be B, or do you want me to slap you in the face?"
"You don't need to do anything, just accompany me." After a pause, Minnie added, "In the name of her boyfriend."
Li Mengnan heard that Minnie needed someone to help her block the gun, but she was still a little surprised and asked: "I am good at acting, but are you sure you want to do this? This is an act of suicide."
The room suddenly fell silent.
"Do you really want me to get married?"
"That's a difficult question to answer."
"What if Wu Ansu asked you this?"
"That's different." Li Mengnan finally turned around to face her, reached out to help her gently comb the long hair from her forehead behind her ears, and said solemnly: "You are different from her, you are still my sister, I
I can be selfish to her family, but I can't be selfish to you, so - I hope you can find your own happiness."
"Is this what you call double standards again?"
Minnie's eyes were filled with tears, but her mouth was smiling. Although she didn't hear the answer she wanted to hear from Li Mengnan, she unexpectedly got a better answer.
Suddenly, she lowered her head and let out a sweet chuckle, as if some knot in her heart was relieved.
"What are you laughing at?" Li Mengnan asked strangely.
"It's nothing. I just suddenly realized that I was so stupid before. Even Bao'er could figure it out, but he still struggled with it for so long."
All the depression in Minnie's heart was relieved, and she found that she had been completely trapped in a strange circle.
Without the status of boyfriend and girlfriend, she could not recognize the relationship with Li Mengnan. Even though she had realized that she had a deep love for Li Mengnan, she always deceived herself and found excuses to deny this relationship.
Now that I think about it, I really got into trouble at that time. When a relationship happens, it happens. Doesn’t it mean that the relationship between boyfriend and girlfriend does not exist? What you want when you love someone is just to be together day and night. What she has now
I'm afraid it's one step further than a real girlfriend, so what is it that I've been searching for all this time?
In fact, what if they are brothers and sisters? Isn’t this little girl Baoer always doing things that many lovers would do in the name of her sister? As long as she recognizes what she wants and sticks to the bottom line drawn in her heart,
You can also live happily.
Besides, unlike Bao'er, there is no blood barrier between her and Li Mengnan, so she doesn't need to worry too much.
