Chapter 185 Like a dream
In this dreamlike scene, these words slowly fell down in an extremely precise manner, as if guided by an invisible hand, and accurately entered the ears of the other two people who were standing quietly in the yard at this time.
Turning my gaze to one of the two men, I saw him tilting his head slightly and smacking his lips. His mouth opened and closed, emitting a series of crisp and loud "tsk, tsk, tsk" sounds. The sound was particularly abrupt in the quiet courtyard, like a string of cheerful notes dancing and echoing in the air.
His eyes were wide open, staring straight ahead, as if he had seen something unbelievable. Along with his exclamations, his words poured out like a cannonball.
"Oh my, this is so unexpected! Who could have imagined that Bi Yaoyao, who seemed ordinary at first, actually had such a hidden emotional past! Look at her appearance back then, her face was filled with happiness and sweetness, and it was obvious that she and that person were getting along very harmoniously and lovingly! I really don't know how this relationship developed later, it really makes me curious!"
His tone rose slightly, as if gently lifted by an invisible hand, and his voice revealed an uncontrollable excitement and curiosity, just like a child who suddenly discovered a treasure hidden in the corner, and his surprise was beyond words.
Lu Yan, who was standing aside, shook his head slowly and calmly. His face, which was already difficult to read, was now covered with a veil of mystery.
The expression on his face was like an abstract painting, with blurred lines and blended colors, making it impossible to discern what emotions were contained therein.
Maybe it was just pure envy, but it seemed not that simple. Maybe it was mixed with some more complex and obscure emotions that he himself had not even noticed?
However, when no one noticed, Fang Congyi, who had been standing silently by, was able to accurately capture the subtle yearning in the depths of the other person's eyes with his extraordinary insight.
This yearning is like a pearl hidden in the deep sea. It cannot be found without careful observation, but Fang Congyi can see it clearly and distinctly as if he has eyes of fire and golden pupils.
At this moment, Fang Congyi's mouth corners slightly raised, outlining an arc that seemed to be a smile, and there seemed to be a bit of teasing in that smile.
Then, he opened his lips slightly and said slowly in a slightly teasing tone:
"Oh, looking at your eyes, are you hiding something in your heart?"
"What? You're so young, but you can't suppress your restless heart and start thinking about finding a Taoist companion to accompany you like those venerable elders?"
As soon as he said this, he locked his gaze on the other person, with a barely perceptible glint of curiosity and teasing in his eyes.
Then, he narrowed his narrow eyes slightly, and the corners of his mouth slowly curled up, forming a smile that seemed neither gentle nor harmless, but there was a hint of something elusive in it.
At the same time, he deliberately raised his eyebrows provocatively, his movements frivolous and a little cunning, just like a cunning fox hiding in the dark, quietly observing its prey and waiting for an opportunity to strike.
At this moment, he seemed to be trying to use his keen insight and rich experience to penetrate Lu Yan's face, which always remained as calm as water, and go deep into the deepest part of his inner world to dig out the most real and unknown thoughts hidden there.
At this moment, Fang Congyi stood firmly in place like a sculpture. His deep and sharp eyes were like two torches, fixed on Lu Yan not far ahead.
His eyes moved up and down, as if he wanted to see through Lu Yan's appearance and see the secrets deep in his heart.
Time passed minute by minute, and the air around them seemed to freeze. Finally, after a long silence, Fang Congyi's tightly closed lips slightly opened, and he said in a slow and steady tone:
"Let me take a look at what you look like now. Tsk tsk tsk... I have to say, you really have a good appearance! Sharp eyebrows and bright eyes, a face like a crown of jade, a tall and straight figure, and an outstanding temperament.
With such a face, it is not an exaggeration to call him handsome and dignified."
"Besides, you are also the direct disciple of the head of the Gudu Sect. Gudu Sect is a leading figure in the martial arts world. To be the direct disciple of its head, you must be a person with extraordinary talent and strength.
"A man as outstanding as you, with such a distinguished background, must surely attract the attention of many women when you walk around. They will fall in love with you and even pursue you relentlessly, right?"
When saying this, there was a hint of sarcasm in Fang Congyi's tone, which made people laugh.
Time seemed to freeze, one second, two seconds, three seconds... After a long wait, the only response to the questioner was the chirping of cicadas in the silent night.
"Tsk, are you shy already?"
A slightly playful voice broke the silence.
"Young man, you are a little thin-skinned."
As the words fell, the air around them seemed to become a little awkward.
"Okay, okay, I won't say anything! Oh my, how can this boy be so thin-skinned? Like a piece of paper, he turns red at the slightest touch! If this continues, what will happen in the future?"
As Fang Cong spoke, he gestured with his hands, and an expression of disappointment appeared on his face.
After saying that, she turned her head to look in the direction of Lu Yan, expecting to see his reaction.
However, what surprised her was that Lu Yan was still standing there like a sculpture, motionless.
His tall and straight figure seemed to blend into the surrounding environment. Only the slight sway caused by the breeze blowing through the corners of his clothes could make people realize that he was not a real still life.
"What’s wrong with you?"
