Envy

Before the trial at the Beihan school, a message spread among the disciples of various sects that Yan Shuhan intended to use the Feng Ye Sword guarded by Shen Gui as one of Yan Miao's dowry.As soon as this rumor came out, it caused quite a shock.

Feng Ye Sword is an ancient divine sword, which is said to be able to open up the sky and cut the moon, and kill all evil spirits.More than ten years ago, when the capital was in turmoil and the current situation was chaotic, there were rumors that those who got the honor would be able to secure the world.Yan Shuhan visited famous mountains and great rivers when he was young, and after several setbacks, he received the sword from a mountain butcher.

People in the world have only heard of its name and have never seen this sword, but they all want to keep it in their pockets, so they are more attentive to Yan Miao.

When summer came, Yan Miao changed out of her imperial uniform, put on a white gauze dress, and read a book in the waterside pavilion with gauze curtains hanging down.She lay flat on the bench, holding a book in one hand, and eating crystal grapes in a porcelain bowl with the other.She moved her feet, and the water-blue bow shoes were embroidered with lotus flowers.

Walking past the court, I could see a looming figure.

The disciples who knew her hobby waited for her by the water pavilion every day.Yan Miao was so entangled that she turned cold and ignored her suitors.

When Zhao Ce went back to Lizhou, no one would accompany her to make trouble, she was always thinking about who to go out with.Later, she took Meng Tou and Huo Zhi out of Shen Gui all day long, fishing in boats, hunting in the mountains, and eating from the street to the end of the street.

Meng Tou used to share a room with Xue Ye, but later he couldn't bear Xue Ye's sleeping appearance, so he sent him to share a room with Jiang Yi, and Huo Zhi switched over.Yan Miao came to look for Meng Tou, and when she saw Huo Zhi, she invited him to play together.

When Yan Miao met Meng Tou, she would talk a lot, which inn had the best sweet and sour fish, which tavern had the best vintage wine, and which teahouse's storyteller gave the most interesting excerpts.

She and Huo Zhi didn't talk much.If Meng Tou wanted to go back to buy something and leave the two of them alone for a while, she would definitely be in a hurry and insist on going with Meng Tou.

Meng Tou wondered, "Why are you panicking, Huo Zhi doesn't know how to eat people."

Yan Miao kicked him, but without kicking, Meng Tou cleverly dodged aside.Yan Miao blushed and didn't speak, the sun was very hot in the dog days, but she didn't blush like this.He said, "Why do you..."

Yan Miao said: "Shut up. Your uncle."

……

On the Beihan school field, Yan Miao was invincible and invincible.Many sect disciples faced her with two sides fighting.There were also courageous ones who were able to practice a few tricks with her, but were kicked off the ring not long after.

The disciples of various sects regard this summer test as a competition to recruit relatives, mistakenly thinking that if they defeat Yan Miao, they will become the son-in-law of the Yan family.

"Tsk tsk, if such a tough daughter-in-law takes home..." Li Xingfeng folded his arms around his chest and elbowed Meng Tou, "Brother Tou, do you feel your back sweating and getting cold?"

Meng Tou smiled: "I will not marry Yan Miao."

Meng Tou's eyes kept falling on Young Master Yan under the shade of the trees on the east side of the ring.He was wearing a bamboo shirt, really elegant and handsome, holding the velvet ball, standing a little far away.His gaze once met Meng Tou's, but then he looked back and focused on the competition.

Meng Tou didn't look at it for long before he was called by Shen Gui's brother.He was unlucky that day, and got Yan Miao in the lottery.After he took the stage, he confronted Yan Miao for a few tricks, but he said he couldn't stand it and gave up.Yan Miao was so angry that she couldn't speak for a long time, she waved her hand: "Your second uncle's grandparents. Get lost, don't let me see you again."

Anyone with a discerning eye could see that Meng Tou pretended to lose to Yan Miao, but a few blind people sneered at Meng Tou for a while, saying that the rumored Meng Tou was not very good.

Meng Tou didn't pay much attention to these remarks, but he was a little disappointed when he couldn't find Yan Zhaohan when he got off the ring, and he didn't care about watching the second half of the competition.

Huo Zhi's luck didn't seem to be very good either, and the one drawn by the lottery was also Yan Miao.But Huo Zhi was much more serious than Meng Tou, his tricks were straight to the point, and he didn't let water at all.The fight was fierce, the two were of equal strength, and Yan Shuhan, who was watching the test in the pavilion, also applauded.

In the beginning, Yan Miao answered well, but later, his footsteps were obviously chaotic, and many flaws appeared in the sword array.

Yan Miao stepped back step by step, approaching the edge of the ring, stepped on the air and almost fell, Huo Zhi didn't hold back, the stabbing sword came over, the blade turned and turned aside, he stretched out his hand to grab Yan Miao's wrist, but he didn't hold on tightly, followed Yan Miao fell down together.

The arena was quite high, Huo Zhi took Yan Miao and flipped half a circle in the void, he was on his back, and Yan Miao fell on him.Huo Zhi kept protecting her head.

Yan Miao fell so blindly that she braced herself to get up.She was fine, Huo Zhi probably hurt from the fall.

"Are you ok?"

Huo Zhi shook his head and stood up with his sword.

Yan Shuhan was so frightened that he ran from the second floor to the edge of the ring to see if his daughter was injured.Even though Yan Miao said that there was no serious problem, he still refused to let Yan Miao continue the competition, and asked Yan Miao to take Huo Zhi to Doctor Ji in the villa to see the injury.

……

As soon as Yan Miao left, this summer test was worthless.

The disciples in the arena like to bluff, but they are actually vulnerable.Meng Tou's clothes were soaked, he didn't want to read on, so he suggested to Li Xingfeng and the others to soak in the cold spring water in Xiyuan.None of them wanted to look at it, so they went back to their rooms to get a change of clothes, and then went to take a shower.

Meng Tou discovered this place by accident.Xiyuan is backed by mountains, and the spring water is so cold that people can't help but feel the heat disappear all at once.Even so, Li Xingfeng and the others felt a little overwhelmed after staying for half an hour.

Xue Ye's lips were purple from the cold, and he swam back to the shore and put on his clothes tremblingly.He said: "It's almost time to go back, and the banquet will start in half an hour."

The sky had already darkened, and Xiuzhu's shadow in the setting sun had disappeared.The evening wind blows through the bamboo leaves, and there are rustling sounds everywhere.Meng Tou leaned on a rock: "Go back first, I'll stay for a while."

Li Xingfeng and Jiang Yi also approached the shore and climbed ashore.Li Xingfeng put on his jacket: "Come back early, don't be late."

Meng Tou replied lazily.

He stayed until it was completely dark.He didn't want to go to the dinner party, but he couldn't find an excuse, so he stood up from the water.After he put on his clothes, he heard a rustling sound among the grass. Meng Tou picked up the ice-drinking sword and approached vigilantly.

He moved the grass with the blade of his sword.A cat jumped out of it and brushed against his feet.This is Yan Zhaohan's cat.He bent over and picked up the cat: "Why are you here... where is your master?"

He looked up and saw a stooped man standing opposite the bushes.As he got closer, he realized that it was a disheveled woman.Holding a piece of dead grass in her hand, she smiled at him.

Meng Tou still wanted to get closer, when the light of a lantern appeared behind him.

"You stay away from her."

That was Yan Zhaohan's voice, very cold.
