Chapter 87 The Untamed 30
After Lan Xichen left, Ling Xi sat alone at the table, lost in his thoughts.
She pulled open her sleeves, revealing something tied around her wrists.
It was blue and white, embroidered with rolling cloud patterns, and was a long piece wrapped around countless times. It was clearly the headband of the Gusu Lan family.
Ling Xi tried to take off the headband, but it seemed to be grown on Ling Xi's hand and could not be taken off no matter what she did. She didn't know what was going on.
Ling Xi looked at the headband in silence. It belonged to Lan Xichen.
Half a year ago, the two of them went out hunting at night and encountered a high-level evil spirit with strong strength. The two of them worked together to eliminate the evil spirit.
Then both of them were a little tired, and when they were resting on the spot, who knew that the hairpin on Ling Xi's head accidentally hooked the tail of Lan Xichen's headband.
Then, amid Ling Xi’s surprise and Lan Xichen’s pupils shaking in shock, the headband was hooked down and spread out completely.
At that time, Ling Xi had no idea what the headband represented in the Lan family rules. She just thought it was just a decoration. She felt that Lan Xichen's reaction was too big, as if he had encountered something earth-shattering. He seemed to be frozen and unable to move.
She was kind enough to tie the headband back on Lan Xichen.
What Ling Xi never expected was that Lan Xichen took off his headband again, and without saying anything, he took her hand and wrapped it around her hand.
However, Ling Xi couldn't solve it later.
Then, during the night hunt, Lan Xichen's attitude towards her changed. He often looked at her as if he wanted to say something but hesitated. Ling Xi always felt that he seemed to have something to say to her, but never opened his mouth.
It was not until she returned to Lingyun Sect that she asked A Yao out of curiosity what the Gusu Lan family's headband represented, and only then did she realize what trouble she had caused.
The headband carries spiritual power and can only be taken off by the destined person. Taking off Gusu Lan's headband means that you are his destined person.
When Ling Xi heard the news, she was stunned. Only then did she understand what Lan Xichen meant by wrapping the headband around her wrist. It meant that he had decided that she would be his future Taoist partner.
But when he tied the headband on his hand, he didn't mention the special feature of it at all.
Therefore, in the past six months, Lan Xichen sent Ling Xi several letters, but Ling Xi did not reply.
If she wasn't needed for this class, she wouldn't have come.
After thinking silently for a while, Ling Xi still couldn't figure out what to do next, so he simply stopped thinking about it.
She didn't pull the headband off; it just accidentally fell apart and ended up in her hands.
Ling Xi felt that the Lan family's headbands were very good at scamming people.
Why didn't it fall off when others were around? But it fell off when she just lightly hooked it.
Lan Xichen has determined that I will be his future Taoist partner, so I should just accept it. Whether I agree or not is my own business. Anyway, he can't force me.
Thinking of this, Ling Xi put the matter behind him.
The matter of heaven has not been resolved yet, so Ling Xi has no time to think about emotional matters.
At worst, Lan Xichen can just put up with it later. As he is number one on the list of young masters from aristocratic families, it is not too disadvantageous for him.
At night, when a disciple of the Lan family came to tell Ling Xi that Wei Ying and Xue Yang were captured by the second young master Lan during his patrol, Ling Xi was helpless.
There was no such thing as losing the invitation, but he was still caught in the middle of the night.
Ling Xi followed the Lan family disciples all the way to Songfengshuiyue.
As soon as she stepped into the house, she saw her two troublesome brothers kneeling on the ground, mumbling something. Xue Yang was okay, as he still knew how to pretend to be good, but Wei Ying was different.
Wei Ying was originally glaring at Lan Wangji angrily, but when he saw Ling Xi coming, he immediately became aggrieved.
"Wow, wow, wow~" Sister, this little old-fashioned guy bullied me.
Even though Wei Ying couldn't speak, Ling Xi could still understand what he wanted to say.
Ling Xi glanced at Wei Ying and Xue Yang, took a few steps forward, and bowed: "Junior Wei Ying, Wei Ling Xi, greets Mr. Lan. I am sorry that my younger brother is too playful and has caused Mr. Lan trouble."
Ling Xi turned his gaze to Lan Qiren who was sitting at the top. He did not look like an old man, but he had a beard, so his appearance could not be seen clearly.
But the Gusu Lan family specializes in producing handsome men, so I don’t think she is ugly.
However, the old-fashioned, pedantic and rigid air around him could not be concealed at all. With this temperament, it was not an exaggeration to call him an old gentleman.
When Lan Qiren saw Wei Lingxi's appearance, he was so frightened that several strands of his beard fell off, and he subconsciously wanted to protect his beard.
It was nothing. When he saw Wei Lingxi, he thought he saw Cangse. The mother and daughter looked very similar, but Cangse was more out of place.
Wei Lingxi seems to be more like the honest Wei Changze, while Wei Ying is more like Cangse.
At this moment, Lan Qiren was somewhat glad that Wei Lingxi's personality was more like Wei Changze. He also knew that Xichen had arranged people in the Lotus Room. After all, he knew exactly who should live in the Lotus Room.
Lan Qiren also knew what his nephew was thinking.
If Xichen fell in love with a woman like Cangse who could turn the Cloud Recesses upside down, Lan Qiren would not object, but he would still have a headache.
He was very satisfied with Wei Lingxi's steady appearance.
He said calmly, "Get up."
"Master Wei, I'm calling you here because your two brothers went out for a walk in the middle of the night and drank in the Cloud Recesses. This violated the Gusu Lan Clan's family rules, so I wanted to tell you something."
"Woooooo~"
Wei Ying got up from the ground, walked to Ling Xi, looked at Ling Xi with aggrieved expression, and his peach blossom eyes, which were exactly the same as Ling Xi's, were full of requests.
Ling Xi looked at Lan Wangji, who had a cold expression, and said, "Could you please ask Second Young Master Lan to remove the silence spell on A-Ying and A-Yang first?"
Lan Wangji raised his eyes to look at Lan Xichen, and after getting Lan Xichen's approval, he lifted the ban on Wei Ying and Xue Yang.
The ban was lifted, and Wei Ying blurted out: "Little old-fashioned"
Lan Wangji’s expression became even colder.
Ling Xi looked at the two of them with a gloomy gaze and asked, "Tell me, why are you not sleeping at night and coming out?"
She remembered that she seemed to have told them that even if they wanted to do something bad, they had to set up a barrier in the room and do it secretly without being caught.
Wei Ying hesitated, lowered his head and whispered: "Sister, I just can't sleep, I came out for a walk, and then..."
Unable to resist the urge to drink, he took out a pot of Tianzixiao, but before he could drink it, he was caught by this old-fashioned guy.
Under Ling Xi's gaze, Wei Ying finally couldn't continue speaking, and immediately admitted his mistake honestly: "Sister, I was wrong."
Xue Yang, who had been keeping a low profile, pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger, said: "Sister, I was wrong too."
Ling Xi asked: "."
It feels good to admit one's mistake.
