Chapter 96 The Untamed 39
The next two days, the classes went on as normal. Because of Ling Xi's discipline, Wei Ying and Xue Yang behaved well and obediently in class even though they were naughty in private.
Since the two troublemakers stopped doing bad things, the other children from the noble families also quieted down. Everything went smoothly during the class and Lan Qiren was in a very happy mood.
Three days later, Lan Qiren left the Cloud Recesses to attend a seminar, and many students finally gained some freedom.
In the morning, Ling Xi and Wei Ying were walking on the road.
"That's great. Old Man Lan is not here anymore. We can finally have fun."
Wei Ying stretched lazily, his handsome face full of relaxation and his eyes full of eagerness to try. He had been coveting the area behind the mountain for a long time. According to his experience, the fish in the river behind the mountain must be delicious.
"That's right." Xue Yang also stretched and put a lotus seed candy into his mouth. "Old man Lan always pays special attention to the two of us. I can't even eat the candy during class."
Nie Huaisang said at the side: "That's right. Although Mr. Lan is knowledgeable and well-read, he is too old-fashioned. Even the final exam requires dictation. I hate those bullshit the most."
Meng Yao smiled. His two dimples made his smile seem more pure and kind. His tone was gentle, with a hint of teasing.
"Who told you to do these little tricks all the time? If not you, who should Mr. Lan focus on? Besides, Mr. Lan has a sharp tongue but a soft heart. Although he is a little strict, he has your best interests at heart. And Huaisang, if you put a little more effort into memorizing these rote things than you put into those storybooks, you don't have to come to class a second time."
Nie Huaisang had a bitter face. What he hated most were these family genealogies and etiquette norms. They were even more boring than dealing with the internal affairs of the Nie family.
Wei Ying also retorted helplessly: "Hey, Brother Yao, I know all this. I have been to the Heart Refining Array many times. If you can't even figure this out, then I will have to go back into the array and be retrained again."
The Heart Refining Formation is a part of the cultivation of disciples of Lingyun Sect.
The so-called refining the mind means that after entering the formation, different illusions will appear in the formation. These illusions do not show people's fears, but allow the disciples who are training in the formation to experience various people or things, so that they can learn to recognize people's hearts, thereby increasing the disciples' determination and knowledge and preventing them from being deceived in the future.
Meng Yao and Xue Yang did the best in this training. Every time they trained together, they were the first to pass. They were both sharp-minded and very sensitive to the good and evil of human nature, so they didn't have to spend too much time on it.
Wei Ying, on the other hand, is at the other extreme. He is always deceived by various people using various means in the formation, and he never learns his lesson.
So, he could only go out of the battle, then go in again, then go out of the battle, then go in again, and so on, training continuously, and finally he could barely pass.
Therefore, Meng Yao paid great attention to this naive junior brother, and often explained to him some of the conspiracies and tricks among ordinary people, for fear that he would be deceived by outsiders one day in the future and would not be able to see it clearly.
Meng Yao shook her head and said, “I know you’ve entered the formation many times, but reality and illusion are different.”
Wei Ying felt a little warmer in his heart: "I understand, Brother Yao, don't worry."
Several of them were walking around, playing and joking. As they passed by the elegant reception room of the Cloud Recesses, Wei Ying suddenly said "Huh", paused, and called out loudly, "Hey, Brother Wangji."
Ling Xi saw the two leaders of the Lan family strolling over from a long distance away. They seemed to have the same face and were dressed in the same snow-white clothes. Even the sword tassels on their backs swayed in the wind with the ribbons, but one was gentle and elegant, while the other was cold as ice. One could tell the two brothers apart at a glance.
Wei Ying came forward, smiling as brightly as a summer flower, "Lord Zewu, Brother Wangji, where are you going?"
Ling Xi also walked forward, looked at the two brothers, and nodded slightly.
Lan Wangji bowed to Ling Xi as a gesture of respect, and Ling Xi returned the greeting.
When he saw Wei Wuxian, Lan Wangji frowned and glared at him almost "viciously", as if he would be defiled if he looked at him for a moment longer, and then looked away and looked into the distance.
When Ling Xi saw this scene, she was confused as to how her silly brother had offended Lan Wangji and made Lan Wangji's expression lose its elegance and decency.
Did something happen that she didn't know about?
As if he could not see the tense atmosphere between Wei Ying and Lan Wangji, Lan Xichen smiled at Ling Xi and answered the question Wei Ying had just asked, saying, "Recently, the water monster in Caiyi Town has been causing trouble frequently, and many villagers have been killed. The villagers at the foot of the mountain have petitioned, hoping that the Lan family can come forward to deal with this matter, so Wangji and I are about to go down the mountain to investigate this matter." Wei Ying perked up, "Zewu Jun, are you catching the water monster? Can you take us along? Besides, we don't have to go to school these few days."
Xue Yang: "Yes, we are both good at swimming."
Nie Huaisang: "Brother Xichen, I can help, and I won't be a hindrance."
Lan Wangji said, “It’s against the rules.”
Wei Ying questioned, "What's against the rules? Brother Wangji, my ability to swim has been certified by professional fishermen. Although Yiling is mountainous and has little water, we in Lingyun Sect have caught many water monsters."
Meng Yao said: "Lord Zewu, our cultivation is not weak, maybe we can help."
"No need. Gusu Lan Clan also..."
Before Lan Wangji could finish, Lan Xichen smiled and said, “Okay, thank you very much. Let’s get ready and set off together.”
"Okay, Sister, Yang, Brother Nie, Brother Yao, let's go down the mountain to play. Brother Wangji, let's go together."
Wei Ying was running in front, and even his back exuded a cheerful atmosphere.
Everyone else chased Wei Ying and ran away, leaving only the brothers Ling Xi and Lan Xichen walking together.
Ling Xi looked at Lan Wangji gently, with eyes full of tolerance and tenderness, and asked with a smile: "Second Master Lan, I wonder if Ah Ying has offended you in any way?"
Lan Wangji: “.”
Lan Wangji clenched his fists, veins bulging, and held Bichen, not knowing how to respond.
I held it in for so long that my face turned red, and I couldn't utter a word.
This made Ling Xi curious. What did her Ah Ying do to Lan Wangji to make Lan Wangji show such an expression?
"If Ah Ying has offended you in any way, I apologize to you on his behalf."
The tips of Lan Wangji’s ears suddenly turned red: “No need.”
Lan Xichen was also somewhat curious as to why Wangji had such a strange reaction when he saw Young Master Wei.
Lan Wangji: "Brother, I'm leaving first."
Then Lan Wangji left with the sword in his hand, and his back looked like he was fleeing in desperation.
Ling Xi looked at Lan Xichen: “What happened to Second Young Master Lan?”
Lan. The brother-reading machine. Xichen came online, and the corners of his lips curled up: "Wangji is just shy, in fact, he likes Master Wei very much."
Ling Xi: “Huh?”
How can you tell that you like this?
Could it be that this is the unique ability of the brother-reading machine?
