Yu Luocha never felt that she was a waste for a moment.
He has been practicing martial arts since he was ten years old, and no one who sees him will admit that he is very talented.Even in the realm of the great master, before meeting Ruan Shang, as far as Yu Luocha knew, he was the only one who broke through.
As a man who once stood at the top of the world, he couldn't accept the fact that he was actually a useless chicken.
Is he really a fake grand master?
Was it because he was too weak to see the truth?
Yu Luocha began to doubt herself.
"Hey, what's wrong with you?"
Ruan Chang didn't understand what he said wrong, originally he just answered casually, but after he finished speaking, he saw that Yu Luocha's complexion had weakened at a speed visible to the naked eye.
It's like being hit by something, and it's hard to extricate yourself.
And this time, he rarely refuted her aloud.
Did it hurt your self-esteem?
Ruan Chang guessed.
However, this seems to be the only answer at present, right?
Forget it, at worst, she will take back what she just said.
Ruan Chang considers himself a relatively soft-hearted master.
Taking care that Yu Luocha may still have the self-esteem of being the leader of the Demon Cult, he didn't open his mouth to make up for him.
After the other party was silent, he patted him on the shoulder and said meaningfully: "Actually, you don't have to be discouraged. Since you have worshiped me as your teacher, I will teach you some practical skills in the future."
"Xiaoyu, believe me, although you are a bit older, as long as you work hard, there is still time to start learning now."
If it was placed in the usual Jade Rakshasa, he would sneer disdainfully to show that he didn't need it.
But now, he is still immersed in the blow that he is a weak chicken.
So much so that I can't even raise my strength to refute.
Yu Luocha just stood there quietly.
Ruan Chang just watched quietly.
For a while, the two of them really had a little sense of master and apprentice.
Until Ruan Shang sighed, just when Yu Luocha thought she would say something comforting.She took the horse grass in her hand.
"—This horse grass should be eaten by Xiao Hong as soon as possible."
"Otherwise it won't be fresh any more."
Yu Luocha didn't react for a moment.
Wait, doesn't that mean I'm a weakling?Why did it involve Ma Cao again?
Am I worse than a horse?
Just as he was thinking this way, Ruan Chang shook the grass in his hand, and stuffed it into Xiao Hong's mouth after the dust fell.
She looked very focused and her eyes were very serious.
Then, under Yu Luocha's puzzled eyes—turned around and entered the room.
Ignore Yu Luocha who is still sad.
Yu Luocha did not react until the door was closed.
No, she really left like that?
Ruan Shang really doesn't understand Yu Luocha's twisted and entangled mentality.
In her opinion, what should the apprentice do if he is hit?
It's okay, it's fine to blow in the cold wind.
After all, being soft-hearted is soft-hearted, but she is not a master who spoils her apprentices.
……
When Yu Luocha still couldn't believe Ruan Shang's behavior, she had already started to catch up on sleep.
After running all night last night, although he wasn't too tired, Ruan Chang's sleeping habits didn't change.When the time comes, you should still catch up on sleep, so that you can cheer up the next day.
When she went to sleep, Yu Luocha was still in the yard.
Ruan Chang originally thought that he would figure it out later, but he didn't expect Yu Luocha to stay for a day and a night.
Until she woke up the next day.
Only then did he see the other party striding in the yard aggrieved and angrily.
This time it was not forced by Ruan Shangwei, but the other party took the initiative, although the expression looked the same as before.
But from Yu Luocha's own point of view, it means that his attitude is many times more correct than before.
"Why are you so serious today?"
Ruan Chang gave him a strange look, not quite understanding what was wrong with Yu Luocha.
Unexpectedly, he didn't sleep all night and spent a whole night in horseback riding.
This is not like him?
Was it really exciting yesterday?
Just when Ruan Chang was thinking like this, it seemed to see her doubts, Yu Luocha pursed her lips, turned her head and said unwillingly:
"You don't have to look at me like this, you are right, this seat is indeed too weak."
Wait, I didn't say you are weak?
Where is this?
Ruan Changzheng was a little puzzled, so he continued:
"I always thought it was a disgrace to call you a master, and I never called you a master sincerely."
"But I have to admit that you are indeed better than me."
Ruan Shang listened to him, and finally Yu Luocha raised his head: "I don't want to be so weak anymore."
Yu Luocha's pride does not allow him to go on like this.
He is the leader of the Western Demon Cult, he...
Yu Luocha was full of enthusiasm, thinking that she must rise up and work hard, defeat Ruan Shang, and become the number one in the world.
Then he heard the human voice who finally aroused his fighting spirit:
"Okay, I get it now."
"So, do you want to eat buns?"
……
"Eat... what?"
Yu Luocha suspected that she had heard wrong.
However, Ruan Shang glanced at him inexplicably: "I'm going out to buy buns, do you want them?"
"By the way, when I woke up, I could smell the steamed stuffed buns outside. It smells really good."
She withdrew her gaze, and was about to leave with an umbrella after sighing.
Well, not only the horse is more important than him, but even the bun is more important than him.
Yu Luocha, who was still standing in the rain like a drenched chicken, almost died of anger.
However...he was also a little hungry.
So when Ruan Chang was about to leave, he snorted coldly and said disdainfully, "Bring me ten pork and cabbage too."
Ye Gucheng stood outside for a long time, not knowing whether to go in or not.
He knew that Ruan Shang knew that he had participated in the Nanwang Mansion before.But she never asked herself.
Ye Gucheng has been waiting these days.
Finally came today.
He stood outside the other garden for a long time, and just as he was about to knock on the door, he heard the voice of Jade Rakshasa inside.
At this time, Ruan Chang had already opened the door.
"Okay, is it pork cabbage? I see." She turned her head and answered Yu Luocha.
Turning around, Ye Gucheng looked at her strangely.
"you want……?"
He was asking her are you going out?
But Ruan Shang misunderstood, paused, and immediately said: "City Master Ye, don't get me wrong, it's not that I eat ten buns."
The beauty in the red dress had a lively expression on her face, and when she spoke, she seemed a little disgusted when she thought of those ten buns.But Ye Gucheng breathed a sigh of relief.The heartstrings that had been tense all this time were slightly relieved because of this incident.
But his expression was always restrained and cold, so he couldn't see anything at this time.
Ruan Shang smiled after finishing speaking: "However, I still want to go to the steamed stuffed bun shop in the south of the city. Do you want to go with me, Lord Ye?"
In fact, she had wanted to invite Ye Gucheng a long time ago, but she came back yesterday morning to catch up on sleep, so she just had time.
But today I just ran into the other party looking for me, so this is a good time to talk.
Her attitude was the same as usual.It seemed as if he was simply inviting him to eat buns together.
Ye Gucheng paused in his heart, thinking that the conversation would be the same everywhere, so he nodded.
"You can."
"Exactly... I didn't have breakfast either."
Ye Gucheng, who never ate at small stalls outside, lied rarely, making an exception once.
But Ruan Shang didn't notice it at all, just smiled and said: "The bun shop at the door tastes very good, and only in Sichuan can have this kind of taste."
"If you don't eat more now, maybe you won't have the chance in the future."
Hear her say that.
Ye Gucheng's eyes paused: "You want to go?"
Ruan Chang was just expressing emotion casually, but he didn't expect him to be so perceptive.
But she hasn't made up her mind about leaving, so she just shook her head with a smile: "Just talking about it, I can't stay in Shuzhong for the rest of my life."
"It's like City Lord Ye is going back to Baiyun City after all."
There is no never-ending feast.
This is the truth that Ye Gucheng has long understood.
Even he has never been moved by it.But hearing what Ruan Chang said, for some reason, he felt a little displeased.
A trace of other emotions flashed across the man's cold face, and it took a long time before he said: "In the future, are you willing to come to Baiyun City?"
"what?"
Ruan Chang didn't quite understand what he meant by asking.
But Ye Gucheng said: "You have already met the Prince of Nan. You know what I did."
"Then after that, are you still willing to come to Baiyun City?"
When he said this, he turned his head and looked at Ruan Shang, as if to see her true inner thoughts.
Ruan Chang originally wanted to go to the bun shop and order something to calm the atmosphere before talking about it, but Ye Gucheng said it now.
And frankly, without a trace of concealment.
She sighed:
"Can I ask City Lord Ye a word?"
Ruan Shang met Ye Gucheng's gaze, and pursed his lips slightly: "Why did Lord Ye want to rebel?"
"And why did you give up?"
There was no one on the street at this time.
There are only a few breakfast shops open in the early morning.
Ruan Shang was standing at the door of the vendor holding an umbrella. Compared with the usual feeling of being out of reach, he was a little more fireworks at this moment.
Ye Gucheng suddenly smiled.
When Ruan Chang didn't understand much, those words that seemed difficult to say were no longer hidden at this time.
"Because the Ye family belongs to the royal family of the previous dynasty."
"Of course, this has nothing to do with me. No one can intimidate me. I just want to do something that is a bit challenging. Before this, I have always been a swordsman who is not sincere to the sword."
It is undoubtedly a very serious matter for a swordsman to say that he is not sincere to the sword.
Especially that swordsman is one of the top swordsmen in Jianghu.
How ethereal and lonely the Flying Immortal is, how regrettable Ye Gucheng is.
But Ruan Chang was not sorry.
Because she knew that when Ye Gucheng said it so frankly, he had already walked out.
No swordsman needs sympathy, and no swordsman needs others to enlighten him.
After a long time, Ruan Shang looked at him and said, "Fortunately, you have given up, otherwise I don't know what to do."
She didn't answer whether Ye Gucheng would go to Baiyun City or not, she only said this sentence.
Ye Gucheng couldn't help being disappointed, but he didn't show it.
"We will not be enemies."
He tightened his sword and said lightly.
Ruan Chang glanced at him, and heaved a sigh of relief.
She was able to send the red shoes and the others to prison without hesitation because they had nothing to do with each other before.
They are not friends, nor friendship.For Ruan Shang, this is just a hands-on matter, and there is no need to think too much.
But Ye Gucheng is different, she regards Ye Gucheng as a friend.He also sincerely hoped that the other party could shatter the void, so Ruan Chang was unwilling to see what happened to him.
Fortunately, he has stopped now.
Otherwise... Even the emperor will not let him go.
The emperor may not be unaware of Ye Gucheng's participation, but he has his own reasons for holding back.
Ruan Chang can probably guess some of the opponent's psychology.Sometimes standing still is not to let the tiger go back to the mountain, but to give both sides a chance to ease after people make mistakes.
There was already disharmony between the rivers and lakes and the court, and it would be best if the rivers and lakes could not be turbulent at this time.
What's more, the status of Baiyun City is not ordinary.
Things she can understand.
Ye Gucheng naturally understood.
So this is the conversation between the two today.
Ruan Chang hoped that Ye Gucheng would really stop, not because of the matter of the Nanwang Mansion, so the relief just now was also true.
Baozipu is not far away, and we will arrive soon.
The two were silent all the way, and when they arrived at the place, Ruan Chang bought some buns and wrapped them in oiled paper.
Ye Gucheng was waiting at the side.
The small alley in the early morning is very quiet, and it is a different scene from Baiyun City.
Ye Gucheng has never looked at this place seriously, just when he lowered his eyes and didn't know what he was thinking.
Suddenly there was an extra bun in front of him.
"Although I don't know if you like it or not."
"But since you're here, let's try one. It can be considered that I didn't recommend it in vain."
Ruan Shang curled his lips and smiled, signaling Ye Gucheng to take the bun.
The steamed stuffed bun looked like an ordinary stuffed bun on the street, it was steaming hot and had an aroma.
Ye Gucheng was stunned for a moment, and after looking at Ruan Chang, he finally took it.
"Thank you."
he said.
Ruan Chang shook his head slightly: "Why bother to say thank you."
"I have always regarded Lord Ye as a friend."
friend?
Ye Gucheng glanced at her, his eyes flickered slightly.
"So am I."
He didn't ask Ruan Shang what happened to the son of Prince Nan, as if Ruan Shang didn't ask him for details.
The two walked back side by side, and the atmosphere was surprisingly harmonious.
When Lu Xiaofeng went out to drink flower wine and came back, he met someone on the way and almost thought he was wrong.
"Wait, are these City Lord Ye and Miss Ruan?"
He stopped suddenly.
Sikong Zhaixing didn't see it, and bumped into it all at once.
The two of them bumped into each other and couldn't help rubbing their foreheads.But Lu Xiaofeng's eyes were still fixed on the front.
Sikong Zhaixing followed his gaze and saw the cold swordsman walking with the beauty in red on the path.
Ruan Chang held an umbrella in his hand, and turned his head to say something from time to time. The posture of the two seemed very intimate, which made people think a little bit.
"It's clear that Miss Ruan has a good attitude towards Ximen before, why does it look like City Lord Ye is better now?"
Lu Xiaofeng touched the beard around his lips and guessed: "Could it be that Ximen hasn't expressed his feelings to Miss Ruan?"
It has to be said that it was rare for Lu Xiaofeng to guess right once.
The two looked at each other, and decided to go back and tell Ximen Fuxue what they saw this morning.
"As a friend, I can only help him here."
Lu Xiaofeng sighed, and left from the other side when Ruan Shang and Ye Gucheng's backs disappeared.
Yu Luocha waited for an hour before Ruan Shang came back.
When he smelled the aroma of steamed stuffed buns from a distance, he almost couldn't help it.Before his martial arts was banned, he seldom felt hungry, but now, perhaps because of his relatively intensive practice, he was so hungry that he couldn't die in just one night.
Although Yu Luocha's stomach was already churning, the temperament of the former peerless master still made him barely collapse.
It was just that when Ruan Shang pushed open the door, he barely continued to maintain the zama step posture.Unable to hide the longing in his eyes, he looked towards the door.
Then he saw a man in white clothes returning with a sword in his left hand and an oiled paper bag in his right.
This is Ash?
As soon as Yu Luocha thought about it, she saw the face of the person who came in.
Oh, it's Ye Gucheng.
He pursed his lips, a little disappointed.
Ye Gucheng didn't know what he was thinking, but he vaguely remembered when he and Ruan Shang went out, Yu Luoshen said ten buns.
After hesitating for a moment, he handed over the thing in his hand.
"Master Yujiao has been practicing hard, so let's take a break for now."
His voice is cold.
Yu Luocha paused, and stood up unceremoniously.
In front of Ye Gucheng, even if he lost his martial arts, he couldn't allow himself to show his weak side.
Seeing him raise his eyebrows, Ruan Chang took the things.Can't help but say: "A steamed stuffed bun costs three taels."
"Remember to return it to me later."
Wait, a bun costs three taels.
Yu Luocha's expression froze.
Looking back at Ruan Shang: "Why don't you go grab it?"
He complained with his eyes.
Ruan Shang was not guilty.
After cooperating with the emperor to cheat the Queen of Nan last night, Ruan Chang experienced the joy of making money, and he was a little bit above it.
It's so fulfilling to use others to fill up your small coffers.No wonder so many charlatans like to lie to fools.
Thinking this way, she said: "You invited a peerless expert to go to the bun shop to buy things for you, and you bought ten at a time at the risk of humiliation, shouldn't it be three taels of silver?"
"Do you think it's worthless to invite a peerless master?"
Yu Luocha subconsciously shook her head.
"Or do you think I'm the kind of good person who helps others for free?"
In the eyes of Yu Luocha, Ruan Chang was already innocent, and he shook his head again.
Ruan Shang laughed at this moment: "Then is the three taels of silver worth it?"
Although there was something wrong, the logic sounded quite reasonable. Yu Luocha couldn't find any mistakes, and her admiration for Ruan Shang an hour ago had turned into impotent rage.
He could only squeeze the buns hard.
Gritting teeth: "Value!"
"now it's right."
Ruan Chang was very satisfied when he said that he had won Yu Luocha.
Ye Gucheng watched Miss Ruan bullying Yu Luocha, a smile flashed across his face.It quickly disappeared again.
Yu Luocha felt that she was being teased by a junior, and angrily crushed the bun.
However, Ye Gucheng didn't look at him again.
After sending Ruan Chang to the door, he was about to leave.
So he just nodded slightly.
Ruan Shang didn't care about Yu Luocha's thoughts at all. Before he left, he suddenly said: "City Master Ye, suddenly remembered what I said before and haven't answered you yet."
She paused and said:
I will definitely visit Baiyun City when I have time. "
Ye Gucheng didn't expect her to say this suddenly.
The answer to the question that was ignored before made him feel a little warm in his heart. He looked at Ruan Shang:
"The sea in Baiyun City is very beautiful."
After he finished speaking, he paused, and suddenly unfastened the spike on the sword and handed it to Ruan Chang.
"When you come to Baiyun City in the future, you can use this to find me."
"They'll all recognize you."
It was the sword tassel bestowed by the old city lord when Ye Gucheng was crowned as an adult. It was of great significance, and everyone in the city lord's mansion didn't know him.
As long as Ruan Chang takes this to go, he will be able to go unimpeded.
This is the first time Ye Gucheng gave this kind of thing to someone.Although Ruan Chang didn't understand the style, she could see the value of the sword spike, so she originally wanted to decline.
But when he saw Ye Gucheng's eyes, he paused slightly.
Finally accepted it.
"Thank you City Lord."
"I'm the one to thank you."
Ye Gucheng pursed his lips and said.
What he didn't say was that if the sword intent left by Ruan Chang hadn't caused him to shatter the void overnight, he might not be able to wake up so quickly now.
If there is a cause, there must be an effect.
After all, Miss Ruan helped him.
And because of this, he got into trouble with the other party.
After he finished speaking, he relaxed.
It wasn't until the person left that Yu Luocha squinted his eyes.Some yin and yang are strange: "I've never seen someone give someone a gift or a sword ear, it's not elegant at all."
Ruan Shang naturally sensed Yu Luocha's hostility towards Ye Gucheng.
Looking back at him, after thinking about it, he said, "Then your steamed stuffed buns are quite elegant."
Yu Luosha was caught off guard and choked, almost choking to death.
And Ruan Chang turned around and left at this time.
On the other hand, after Lu Xiaofeng returned to the other garden, before he had time to wash off the smell of alcohol on his body, he hurried to Ximen Chuuxue's courtyard.
"Simon, I have something to tell you."
He was in a hurry around the red cloak, and he smelled like he had just been fished out of a stinky ditch.
Ximen Chuuxue, who had just returned from sword practice, frowned slightly, subconsciously took a step back, and closed the door.
"Xi, Ximen."
Lu Xiaofeng touched his nose, touched the tip of his nose involuntarily, and looked at himself with a frown.
"Does it stink so much?"
"Why can't I smell it myself?"
He shook his head in doubt, and began to knock on the door again: "Anyway, don't worry about whether I take a shower or not."
"I have something to tell you about Miss Ruan."
Hearing Ruan Shang's name, Ximen Chuuxue paused slightly.
Then Lu Xiaofeng said: "I saw it outside just now."
"Miss Ruan and City Lord Ye went out to eat buns together, and even came back from a walk side by side. The relationship looks very unusual!"
"It's the first time I've seen Ye Gucheng so close to a person."
"He even ate the buns in Miss Ruan's hands."
No, it was actually Ruan Shang who handed him a steamed stuffed bun.But in Lu Xiaofeng's mouth, it was distorted by a degree.
Ximen Chuuxue paused when he heard about closeness and Baozi.
Just when Lu Xiaofeng was about to add fuel and vinegar to the story.
The people inside opened the door.
He has been practicing martial arts since he was ten years old, and no one who sees him will admit that he is very talented.Even in the realm of the great master, before meeting Ruan Shang, as far as Yu Luocha knew, he was the only one who broke through.
As a man who once stood at the top of the world, he couldn't accept the fact that he was actually a useless chicken.
Is he really a fake grand master?
Was it because he was too weak to see the truth?
Yu Luocha began to doubt herself.
"Hey, what's wrong with you?"
Ruan Chang didn't understand what he said wrong, originally he just answered casually, but after he finished speaking, he saw that Yu Luocha's complexion had weakened at a speed visible to the naked eye.
It's like being hit by something, and it's hard to extricate yourself.
And this time, he rarely refuted her aloud.
Did it hurt your self-esteem?
Ruan Chang guessed.
However, this seems to be the only answer at present, right?
Forget it, at worst, she will take back what she just said.
Ruan Chang considers himself a relatively soft-hearted master.
Taking care that Yu Luocha may still have the self-esteem of being the leader of the Demon Cult, he didn't open his mouth to make up for him.
After the other party was silent, he patted him on the shoulder and said meaningfully: "Actually, you don't have to be discouraged. Since you have worshiped me as your teacher, I will teach you some practical skills in the future."
"Xiaoyu, believe me, although you are a bit older, as long as you work hard, there is still time to start learning now."
If it was placed in the usual Jade Rakshasa, he would sneer disdainfully to show that he didn't need it.
But now, he is still immersed in the blow that he is a weak chicken.
So much so that I can't even raise my strength to refute.
Yu Luocha just stood there quietly.
Ruan Chang just watched quietly.
For a while, the two of them really had a little sense of master and apprentice.
Until Ruan Shang sighed, just when Yu Luocha thought she would say something comforting.She took the horse grass in her hand.
"—This horse grass should be eaten by Xiao Hong as soon as possible."
"Otherwise it won't be fresh any more."
Yu Luocha didn't react for a moment.
Wait, doesn't that mean I'm a weakling?Why did it involve Ma Cao again?
Am I worse than a horse?
Just as he was thinking this way, Ruan Chang shook the grass in his hand, and stuffed it into Xiao Hong's mouth after the dust fell.
She looked very focused and her eyes were very serious.
Then, under Yu Luocha's puzzled eyes—turned around and entered the room.
Ignore Yu Luocha who is still sad.
Yu Luocha did not react until the door was closed.
No, she really left like that?
Ruan Shang really doesn't understand Yu Luocha's twisted and entangled mentality.
In her opinion, what should the apprentice do if he is hit?
It's okay, it's fine to blow in the cold wind.
After all, being soft-hearted is soft-hearted, but she is not a master who spoils her apprentices.
……
When Yu Luocha still couldn't believe Ruan Shang's behavior, she had already started to catch up on sleep.
After running all night last night, although he wasn't too tired, Ruan Chang's sleeping habits didn't change.When the time comes, you should still catch up on sleep, so that you can cheer up the next day.
When she went to sleep, Yu Luocha was still in the yard.

Until she woke up the next day.
Only then did he see the other party striding in the yard aggrieved and angrily.
This time it was not forced by Ruan Shangwei, but the other party took the initiative, although the expression looked the same as before.
But from Yu Luocha's own point of view, it means that his attitude is many times more correct than before.
"Why are you so serious today?"
Ruan Chang gave him a strange look, not quite understanding what was wrong with Yu Luocha.
Unexpectedly, he didn't sleep all night and spent a whole night in horseback riding.
This is not like him?
Was it really exciting yesterday?
Just when Ruan Chang was thinking like this, it seemed to see her doubts, Yu Luocha pursed her lips, turned her head and said unwillingly:

Where is this?
Ruan Changzheng was a little puzzled, so he continued:
"I always thought it was a disgrace to call you a master, and I never called you a master sincerely."
"But I have to admit that you are indeed better than me."
Ruan Shang listened to him, and finally Yu Luocha raised his head: "I don't want to be so weak anymore."
Yu Luocha's pride does not allow him to go on like this.
He is the leader of the Western Demon Cult, he...
Yu Luocha was full of enthusiasm, thinking that she must rise up and work hard, defeat Ruan Shang, and become the number one in the world.
Then he heard the human voice who finally aroused his fighting spirit:
"Okay, I get it now."
"So, do you want to eat buns?"
……
"Eat... what?"
Yu Luocha suspected that she had heard wrong.
However, Ruan Shang glanced at him inexplicably: "I'm going out to buy buns, do you want them?"
"By the way, when I woke up, I could smell the steamed stuffed buns outside. It smells really good."

Turning around, Ye Gucheng looked at her strangely.
"you want……?"
He was asking her are you going out?
But Ruan Shang misunderstood, paused, and immediately said: "City Master Ye, don't get me wrong, it's not that I eat ten buns."
The beauty in the red dress had a lively expression on her face, and when she spoke, she seemed a little disgusted when she thought of those ten buns.But Ye Gucheng breathed a sigh of relief.The heartstrings that had been tense all this time were slightly relieved because of this incident.

But she hasn't made up her mind about leaving, so she just shook her head with a smile: "Just talking about it, I can't stay in Shuzhong for the rest of my life."
"It's like City Lord Ye is going back to Baiyun City after all."
There is no never-ending feast.
This is the truth that Ye Gucheng has long understood.
Even he has never been moved by it.But hearing what Ruan Chang said, for some reason, he felt a little displeased.
A trace of other emotions flashed across the man's cold face, and it took a long time before he said: "In the future, are you willing to come to Baiyun City?"
"what?"
Ruan Chang didn't quite understand what he meant by asking.
But Ye Gucheng said: "You have already met the Prince of Nan. You know what I did."
"Then after that, are you still willing to come to Baiyun City?"
When he said this, he turned his head and looked at Ruan Shang, as if to see her true inner thoughts.

There was no one on the street at this time.
There are only a few breakfast shops open in the early morning.
Ruan Shang was standing at the door of the vendor holding an umbrella. Compared with the usual feeling of being out of reach, he was a little more fireworks at this moment.
Ye Gucheng suddenly smiled.
When Ruan Chang didn't understand much, those words that seemed difficult to say were no longer hidden at this time.
"Because the Ye family belongs to the royal family of the previous dynasty."
"Of course, this has nothing to do with me. No one can intimidate me. I just want to do something that is a bit challenging. Before this, I have always been a swordsman who is not sincere to the sword."
It is undoubtedly a very serious matter for a swordsman to say that he is not sincere to the sword.
Especially that swordsman is one of the top swordsmen in Jianghu.
How ethereal and lonely the Flying Immortal is, how regrettable Ye Gucheng is.
But Ruan Chang was not sorry.
Because she knew that when Ye Gucheng said it so frankly, he had already walked out.
No swordsman needs sympathy, and no swordsman needs others to enlighten him.
After a long time, Ruan Shang looked at him and said, "Fortunately, you have given up, otherwise I don't know what to do."
She didn't answer whether Ye Gucheng would go to Baiyun City or not, she only said this sentence.
Ye Gucheng couldn't help being disappointed, but he didn't show it.
"We will not be enemies."
He tightened his sword and said lightly.
Ruan Chang glanced at him, and heaved a sigh of relief.
She was able to send the red shoes and the others to prison without hesitation because they had nothing to do with each other before.
They are not friends, nor friendship.For Ruan Shang, this is just a hands-on matter, and there is no need to think too much.
But Ye Gucheng is different, she regards Ye Gucheng as a friend.He also sincerely hoped that the other party could shatter the void, so Ruan Chang was unwilling to see what happened to him.
Fortunately, he has stopped now.
Otherwise... Even the emperor will not let him go.
The emperor may not be unaware of Ye Gucheng's participation, but he has his own reasons for holding back.
Ruan Chang can probably guess some of the opponent's psychology.Sometimes standing still is not to let the tiger go back to the mountain, but to give both sides a chance to ease after people make mistakes.
There was already disharmony between the rivers and lakes and the court, and it would be best if the rivers and lakes could not be turbulent at this time.
What's more, the status of Baiyun City is not ordinary.
Things she can understand.
Ye Gucheng naturally understood.
So this is the conversation between the two today.
Ruan Chang hoped that Ye Gucheng would really stop, not because of the matter of the Nanwang Mansion, so the relief just now was also true.
Baozipu is not far away, and we will arrive soon.
The two were silent all the way, and when they arrived at the place, Ruan Chang bought some buns and wrapped them in oiled paper.
Ye Gucheng was waiting at the side.
The small alley in the early morning is very quiet, and it is a different scene from Baiyun City.
Ye Gucheng has never looked at this place seriously, just when he lowered his eyes and didn't know what he was thinking.
Suddenly there was an extra bun in front of him.
"Although I don't know if you like it or not."
"But since you're here, let's try one. It can be considered that I didn't recommend it in vain."
Ruan Shang curled his lips and smiled, signaling Ye Gucheng to take the bun.
The steamed stuffed bun looked like an ordinary stuffed bun on the street, it was steaming hot and had an aroma.
Ye Gucheng was stunned for a moment, and after looking at Ruan Chang, he finally took it.
"Thank you."
he said.
Ruan Chang shook his head slightly: "Why bother to say thank you."
"I have always regarded Lord Ye as a friend."
friend?
Ye Gucheng glanced at her, his eyes flickered slightly.
"So am I."
He didn't ask Ruan Shang what happened to the son of Prince Nan, as if Ruan Shang didn't ask him for details.
The two walked back side by side, and the atmosphere was surprisingly harmonious.
When Lu Xiaofeng went out to drink flower wine and came back, he met someone on the way and almost thought he was wrong.
"Wait, are these City Lord Ye and Miss Ruan?"
He stopped suddenly.
Sikong Zhaixing didn't see it, and bumped into it all at once.
The two of them bumped into each other and couldn't help rubbing their foreheads.But Lu Xiaofeng's eyes were still fixed on the front.
Sikong Zhaixing followed his gaze and saw the cold swordsman walking with the beauty in red on the path.
Ruan Chang held an umbrella in his hand, and turned his head to say something from time to time. The posture of the two seemed very intimate, which made people think a little bit.
"It's clear that Miss Ruan has a good attitude towards Ximen before, why does it look like City Lord Ye is better now?"
Lu Xiaofeng touched the beard around his lips and guessed: "Could it be that Ximen hasn't expressed his feelings to Miss Ruan?"
It has to be said that it was rare for Lu Xiaofeng to guess right once.
The two looked at each other, and decided to go back and tell Ximen Fuxue what they saw this morning.
"As a friend, I can only help him here."
Lu Xiaofeng sighed, and left from the other side when Ruan Shang and Ye Gucheng's backs disappeared.
Yu Luocha waited for an hour before Ruan Shang came back.
When he smelled the aroma of steamed stuffed buns from a distance, he almost couldn't help it.Before his martial arts was banned, he seldom felt hungry, but now, perhaps because of his relatively intensive practice, he was so hungry that he couldn't die in just one night.
Although Yu Luocha's stomach was already churning, the temperament of the former peerless master still made him barely collapse.
It was just that when Ruan Shang pushed open the door, he barely continued to maintain the zama step posture.Unable to hide the longing in his eyes, he looked towards the door.
Then he saw a man in white clothes returning with a sword in his left hand and an oiled paper bag in his right.
This is Ash?
As soon as Yu Luocha thought about it, she saw the face of the person who came in.
Oh, it's Ye Gucheng.
He pursed his lips, a little disappointed.
Ye Gucheng didn't know what he was thinking, but he vaguely remembered when he and Ruan Shang went out, Yu Luoshen said ten buns.
After hesitating for a moment, he handed over the thing in his hand.
"Master Yujiao has been practicing hard, so let's take a break for now."
His voice is cold.
Yu Luocha paused, and stood up unceremoniously.
In front of Ye Gucheng, even if he lost his martial arts, he couldn't allow himself to show his weak side.
Seeing him raise his eyebrows, Ruan Chang took the things.Can't help but say: "A steamed stuffed bun costs three taels."
"Remember to return it to me later."
Wait, a bun costs three taels.
Yu Luocha's expression froze.
Looking back at Ruan Shang: "Why don't you go grab it?"
He complained with his eyes.
Ruan Shang was not guilty.
After cooperating with the emperor to cheat the Queen of Nan last night, Ruan Chang experienced the joy of making money, and he was a little bit above it.
It's so fulfilling to use others to fill up your small coffers.No wonder so many charlatans like to lie to fools.
Thinking this way, she said: "You invited a peerless expert to go to the bun shop to buy things for you, and you bought ten at a time at the risk of humiliation, shouldn't it be three taels of silver?"
"Do you think it's worthless to invite a peerless master?"
Yu Luocha subconsciously shook her head.
"Or do you think I'm the kind of good person who helps others for free?"
In the eyes of Yu Luocha, Ruan Chang was already innocent, and he shook his head again.
Ruan Shang laughed at this moment: "Then is the three taels of silver worth it?"
Although there was something wrong, the logic sounded quite reasonable. Yu Luocha couldn't find any mistakes, and her admiration for Ruan Shang an hour ago had turned into impotent rage.
He could only squeeze the buns hard.
Gritting teeth: "Value!"
"now it's right."
Ruan Chang was very satisfied when he said that he had won Yu Luocha.
Ye Gucheng watched Miss Ruan bullying Yu Luocha, a smile flashed across his face.It quickly disappeared again.
Yu Luocha felt that she was being teased by a junior, and angrily crushed the bun.
However, Ye Gucheng didn't look at him again.
After sending Ruan Chang to the door, he was about to leave.
So he just nodded slightly.
Ruan Shang didn't care about Yu Luocha's thoughts at all. Before he left, he suddenly said: "City Master Ye, suddenly remembered what I said before and haven't answered you yet."
She paused and said:
I will definitely visit Baiyun City when I have time. "
Ye Gucheng didn't expect her to say this suddenly.
The answer to the question that was ignored before made him feel a little warm in his heart. He looked at Ruan Shang:
"The sea in Baiyun City is very beautiful."
After he finished speaking, he paused, and suddenly unfastened the spike on the sword and handed it to Ruan Chang.
"When you come to Baiyun City in the future, you can use this to find me."
"They'll all recognize you."
It was the sword tassel bestowed by the old city lord when Ye Gucheng was crowned as an adult. It was of great significance, and everyone in the city lord's mansion didn't know him.
As long as Ruan Chang takes this to go, he will be able to go unimpeded.
This is the first time Ye Gucheng gave this kind of thing to someone.Although Ruan Chang didn't understand the style, she could see the value of the sword spike, so she originally wanted to decline.
But when he saw Ye Gucheng's eyes, he paused slightly.
Finally accepted it.
"Thank you City Lord."
"I'm the one to thank you."
Ye Gucheng pursed his lips and said.
What he didn't say was that if the sword intent left by Ruan Chang hadn't caused him to shatter the void overnight, he might not be able to wake up so quickly now.
If there is a cause, there must be an effect.
After all, Miss Ruan helped him.
And because of this, he got into trouble with the other party.
After he finished speaking, he relaxed.
It wasn't until the person left that Yu Luocha squinted his eyes.Some yin and yang are strange: "I've never seen someone give someone a gift or a sword ear, it's not elegant at all."
Ruan Shang naturally sensed Yu Luocha's hostility towards Ye Gucheng.
Looking back at him, after thinking about it, he said, "Then your steamed stuffed buns are quite elegant."
Yu Luosha was caught off guard and choked, almost choking to death.
And Ruan Chang turned around and left at this time.
On the other hand, after Lu Xiaofeng returned to the other garden, before he had time to wash off the smell of alcohol on his body, he hurried to Ximen Chuuxue's courtyard.
"Simon, I have something to tell you."
He was in a hurry around the red cloak, and he smelled like he had just been fished out of a stinky ditch.
Ximen Chuuxue, who had just returned from sword practice, frowned slightly, subconsciously took a step back, and closed the door.
"Xi, Ximen."
Lu Xiaofeng touched his nose, touched the tip of his nose involuntarily, and looked at himself with a frown.
"Does it stink so much?"
"Why can't I smell it myself?"
He shook his head in doubt, and began to knock on the door again: "Anyway, don't worry about whether I take a shower or not."
"I have something to tell you about Miss Ruan."
Hearing Ruan Shang's name, Ximen Chuuxue paused slightly.
Then Lu Xiaofeng said: "I saw it outside just now."
"Miss Ruan and City Lord Ye went out to eat buns together, and even came back from a walk side by side. The relationship looks very unusual!"
"It's the first time I've seen Ye Gucheng so close to a person."
"He even ate the buns in Miss Ruan's hands."
No, it was actually Ruan Shang who handed him a steamed stuffed bun.But in Lu Xiaofeng's mouth, it was distorted by a degree.
Ximen Chuuxue paused when he heard about closeness and Baozi.
Just when Lu Xiaofeng was about to add fuel and vinegar to the story.
The people inside opened the door.
