"He is indeed." Hearing Xian Yu Zijun's name, Li Qingyan didn't have any strange expression, and he was still calm: "In fact, he is the most famous foreigner in Qingcheng and even the surrounding areas. know of his existence."

Xian Yu Zijun's exotic face appeared in He Xuqing's mind, and he felt mixed feelings.

"You call him less than the young master—what kind of sect is he?" He Xuqing asked tentatively.

"Does he really 'protect' you well enough that he doesn't even reveal his own identity, but only wants to create an image of a kind teacher in your heart?" Li Qingyan chuckled lightly, with a hint of sarcasm in his words.

He Xuqing pursed her lips, but fortunately, Li Qingyan didn't talk nonsense, but explained: "The people gathered under Xianyu Zijun's door are indeed special. For example, the Bei family and the Chen family are passed down from generation to generation. Martial arts masters, most of the people gathered are relatives, and there are also admired disciples, who voluntarily worship as subordinates under the sect. The seat of the patriarch is also chosen from among the children of the past generations, and the foundation in the rivers and lakes is relatively deep.

But the people who gathered around Xianyu Zijun didn't have such a deep bond.Xianyu Zijun moved to Qingcheng from the west with his father's family, he grew up here, but he still retains some Hu people's style.He has already stood out among his peers since he was 14 years old, and later spent ten years of hard work gathering many loyal people around him, which can be regarded as a means.

Half of these people are foreigners and half are from the Central Plains. They surround him and call him Young Master, almost like a Jianghu gang.He has supported many guests in his own house, and he has always saved face for himself, so even those who despise foreigners will not underestimate him. "

"What about you? What type are you?" He Xuqing looked straight at Li Qingyan.

"Me?" Li Qingyan laughed again, poured a glass of wine for himself and drank it down, looking at the sunset outside the window, his voice sounded a bit trance: "I don't count in any category."

He Xuqing remained silent, but waited for a long time for the next sentence.Li Qingyan looked out the window blankly, not knowing whether he didn't want to say it, or didn't know how to say it.

"I have nothing to say." Just when He Xuqing thought that Li Qingyan was not going to answer this question, he said lightly.

"But they are afraid of you—and respect you." He Xuqing said with a frown.

"They?" Li Qingyan repeated, pouring himself another glass of wine: "Oh, they may be a little afraid of me, but I don't know if they respect me or not. The impression I have in their hearts is probably that of cruelty, arrogance, It’s not easy to approach or something. I don’t often appear in front of them, and I really don’t know what I look like in their impression.”

"You don't often appear in front of them—then where do you go when you're not at home?" He Xuqing asked subconsciously.

Li Qingyan slowly turned his gaze to her, the expression on his face was not as indifferent as before, but became a little deeper.

He Xuqing suddenly realized that she seemed to have touched some secret hidden by Li Qingyan.

"Now is not the time to tell you this." Li Qingyan said every word.

He Xuqing stared at him for a while, the sky outside the window was getting darker and darker, and there were no candles in the room, everything was covered with a layer of misty darkness.Half of Li Qingyan's face was hidden in the darkness, only the half of his face near the window was clearly visible by the lights outside the window, this half-light and half-dark face added a bit of shock.

"What is the relationship between you... and Beinandie?" He Xuqing stared at such an uncertain expression, and suddenly asked such a question.

This has been hidden in her heart for a long time, and she has always wanted to find the answer.

"As expected, you still remember." Li Qingyan raised the corners of his mouth, and the sinister look on his face softened a lot.He relaxed and leaned back on the chair behind him, his lazy demeanor removed a lot of his aura.He adjusted his comfortable posture, and then continued, "Have you been thinking about this question since the day when Xian Yu Zijun said that I had an engagement with Bei Nan Die?"

"Yes." He Xuqing admitted straightforwardly.

"Let me tell you about the first time I met her." Li Qingyan said in a soft voice, seemingly leisurely admiring the sunset outside the window.

"Have you seen her?" He Xuqing was a little surprised. In his memory, Li Qingyan once said that there are only a handful of people in this world who have actually seen Beinandie. If you want to come to Beijia, you should protect her quite closely.

"Yeah, I've seen it before. It's just many years ago." Li Qingyan looked far away.

He Xuqing hid herself deeper into the darkness, and stared at Li Qingyan intently.

"The first time I saw her, I was still young, and because of my weak body, I didn't usually go out. Only that time, I was taken to Beijia for medical treatment. I thought it would be unnecessary, but those people After discussing for a long time in the front hall, I felt bored, so I tried to go out for a walk under the pretext of being unwell, and I also got rid of the servants who followed me, so I got lost in the yard as a matter of course.

Because of my bad temper, I didn't call for help. I just walked around in the yard by myself until I heard a woman scolding a child.

I hid behind the bushes and watched them. A girl about six years old stood silently in the garden with her head slightly lowered. Even if the other party spoke sarcastically, she was not at all afraid. "

He Xuqing's heart skipped a beat. When Li Qingyan talked about what happened almost ten years ago, he was still able to detail the details. It can be seen that this matter definitely had a great impact on his heart.

Li Qingyan's voice continued: "I heard that woman scolding, there are ready-made medicine men, why don't you use them? How can such a woman's benevolence be learned in the future?

The girl replied clearly: 'I just don't like it. '

The woman said, those beasts are not the same as humans, so what can they learn?If you think those people will die under your hands, then you are not confident in your own strength?

What the girl said afterwards stuck in my memory for ten years—"

Li Qingyan suddenly stopped talking and turned to He Xuqing. Even in the dark night, He Xuqing could still see the burning light in his eyes.

"The girl said, 'I would be the best at everything without those people.'"

He Xuqing's heart skipped a beat, and she looked at Li Qingyan in shock.

"Does this scene sound familiar? I never thought that after 11 years, your answer would still be exactly the same." Li Qingyan saw He Xuqing's shock in his eyes, with an incomprehensible depth on his face: "I At that time, I didn't understand what they meant. I was just attracted by that girl. She was obviously much younger than me, but she could stand there without fear and tell the person who reprimanded her with a cold face. Without those people, I can do everything at my best.

After hearing her answer, the woman just sneered and said: "If you really have such awareness, let me see your determination."Before breakfast tomorrow, stay here and don't go anywhere. '

I just watched the girl standing indifferently in the garden by herself, motionless.You may not quite understand how I felt at that time.At that time, I suddenly felt that I was nothing compared to that little girl.I don't know how long I watched her, but she just stood there, not moving at all.Even when she was punished to stand for a whole day plus a whole night, she didn't give in at all, her small body just stood.

So far, she is still the person I admire the most. "

"What happened next?" He Xuqing asked, but somehow felt that her voice was a little hoarse.

"Later I coughed, and she found out." Li Qingyan chuckled, and continued, "I saw her look around, but I didn't dare to make a sound. To be honest, I was a little afraid of her at that time. Said It's funny, that was the first time I'd ever been scared of a person in all my life. And as a kid so much younger than me.

After that, she quickly hid and disappeared into a room.I waited in place for a long time, but I couldn't see her again.The servants around me found me. When they saw me hiding behind the bushes, they immediately said nervously that this is near the pharmacy of Bei Nandie, the eldest lady of the Bei family, and it is a place where the Bei family prohibits outsiders from entering.Also asked me if I saw anyone around here.

I replied, no.Then he was taken away from that place.

That is to say, from that time on, I gradually and consciously learned about the affairs of the Bei Family, and also began to understand all the things related to Bei Nan Die.It's just that Beinandie doesn't seem to exist at all, and no matter what, he can't find any news. "Li Qingyan's voice sank, not knowing what he was recalling.

"Then what about the marriage contract?" He Xuqing controlled her voice not to sound too weird.

"The marriage contract was just a whim on my mind." Li Qingyan laughed again, but in He Xuqing's eyes, the smile was a bit forced, "When I first became famous with my current identity, some people were afraid of me, and some people were afraid of me. He was curious about me, and all in all he gave me some face. Even Bei Xiangyan was more courteous to me, a junior. At that time, I picked a time that I thought was suitable and proposed to him to marry Bei Nandie.

Bei Xiangyan didn't mean to object at first, but was a little surprised.I could see that he was even a little tempted by my proposal.

However, the result was obvious later on. The North and South Butterflies had been protected by the Bei family for so long, and they had always been extremely mysterious.Coupled with her equally mysterious mother, she would never agree to this matter, so it was voided. "
