Male superiority and female superiority: forced love

In the west wing, there was the sound of gurgling water.

Shen Tingxue let out a low moan of comfort while soaking in the bathtub, and she gathered up a lock of her black hair and rubbed it carefully.

The scent of the cassia tree on his body was slowly fading away, but a little bit of it still inevitably invaded his nostrils, devouring his clarity of mind.

"Liu Shuangshuang!"

Shen Tingxue's face was gloomy, and he growled through gritted teeth. A large hand helplessly sank into the depths of the bathtub.

The water ripples, picturesque. The whispered secrets, like those flying pearls, eventually turn into foam and return to calm.

Half an incense stick later, he reappeared in the courtyard dressed in a green shirt, looking refreshed.

Passing through the winding corridors, the courtyard of the pavilion suddenly comes into view.

The willow branches are long, the peach blossoms are smiling, the grass on the steps is green, and the swing is swinging.

The wind is light, the clouds are thin, the fragrance is floating, and people's faces are intoxicated.

Looking at the colorful scene in the garden, Shen Tingxue hummed a little tune contentedly.

Suddenly, a figure in the elegant pavilion on the second floor made him stop.

A beautiful woman in pink stood by the window. Her bun was cute and lovely, with an eye-catching jade leaf hairpin inserted in it. Shen Tingxue recognized her at a glance as the girl that his fifth brother had been thinking about looking for - Ruan Chuyin.

The beauty seemed to be in a good mood. She supported her chin with one hand, slightly tilted her palm-sized oval face, and stared at a peach tree in a trance.

When those pink "clouds" met her, they instantly shed their red makeup and floated to the beauty on the wings of the breeze.

At this moment, time slowed down.

Shen Tingxue's heart was beating fast and strong. He stared at the beautiful figure in a daze, feeling that he was doomed.

Suddenly, the two sights met unexpectedly.

Ruan Chuyin was slightly startled. The handsome man in the green shirt seemed to have been standing under the tree for a long time. His hair fluttered in the wind, brushing against his clear face, adding a touch of softness to his stern expression.

The tall and straight pine-like figure and the falling petals flying all over the sky are intertwined together, which is so picturesque and beautiful that it makes people intoxicated.

"Hatsune, what are you looking at? You look so engrossed." Qin Guanzhi's voice came from behind. Ruan Chuyin instantly averted her gaze, blushing slightly and lowering the curtain.

"The peach blossoms in the courtyard are in bloom. Let's look at them for a while longer." After he finished speaking, he opened his right hand. A pink petal lay quietly in his palm, emitting a faint fragrance.

The light in the room suddenly dimmed, but the delicate petals still clearly revealed every one of its "meridians".

Qin Guanzhi gazed at this unexpected beauty, which reminded him of a hibiscus jade bracelet of excellent texture in Baoyuezhai. He wondered if it was still there.

"The dishes are all here, let's go down and have something to eat." He held her in his arms, lowered his head and put his nose close to hers and gently touched it, his eyes full of tenderness.

"it is good."

A soft and sticky voice rose, lighter than the breeze and sweeter than honey. Two pink lips were more delicate than peach blossoms, making Qin Guanzhi unable to resist taking a bite.

The desire that suddenly arose in the body was fighting fiercely with reason.

Finally, reason overcame desire, he kissed his baby on the forehead, took her hand and went downstairs.

There were two banquet tables in the private room on the first floor.

Qi Ruyi, Qin Guanzhi and Ruan Chuyin sat at the same table.

Yu Yu and the groom sat at the same table.

Twenty dishes for five people, no matter what your taste is, the happiness index is absolutely bursting.

Steamed yellow croaker, braised anchovy, Dongpo pork, crab stuffed with orange, crystal braised pork, steamed cured meat, smoked duck, nectar soup, touhua rice cake, Guanghan cake.

Ruan Chuyin's attention was deeply attracted by the crab stuffed orange.

She was surprised to see this "Kung Fu dish" here. Even Qin Guanzhi, Qi Ruyi and others had to look at Lanshan Pavilion with new eyes. The quality alone was not inferior to those of the luxurious restaurants in Liangcheng.

Bafang Town is really a great place where hidden dragons and crouching tigers are everywhere.

Qin Guanzhi noticed Ruan Chuyin's burning gaze and asked the waiter to add another serving.

The flavor of crab stuffed with orange lies in its layers of flavor. The bitterness and unique fragrance of the orange peel blend perfectly with the crab meat, creating a sour, sweet, and fresh dish that makes all other dishes taste bland.

Just when they were enjoying their meal, Shen Tingxue walked in with steady steps.

Qin Guanzhi looked at this "uninvited guest" with extraordinary appearance and frowned silently.

"My name is Shen Tingxue, the owner of Lanshan Pavilion. I have long heard of the great name of Qi Jianshen, and I have come to pay you a visit."

After saying that, he bowed, looked at Qin Guanzhi and Ruan Chuyin one by one with a smile on his face, and nodded politely in greeting.

"Your name is Shen Tingxue? Who is Shen Qinghuan to you?" Qi Ruyi looked at him with a smile and asked unexpectedly.

Shen Tingxue raised his eyebrows slightly, chuckled, and replied truthfully: "It is my father."

Qi Ruyi stroked his beard and nodded with satisfaction.

"Not bad, not bad. You are three times more handsome than your father was when he was young." He looked closely at the young man in front of him, and his thoughts were suddenly pulled back to twenty-five years ago.

Speaking of Shen Qinghuan, he was a "famous" figure in the martial arts world at that time.

With his beautiful appearance and graceful figure, he won the favor of the most beautiful woman in Nanxing Kingdom, Xiang Wanrong, the eldest daughter of King Zhenbei.

Unfortunately, the flowers have feelings for each other, but the water is ruthless. Shen Qinghuan didn't like Xiang Wanrong at all. Then there was a love story of you chasing me, you chasing me running away, you chasing me changing, you chasing me dying, you chasing me willingly.

This emotional entanglement lasted for five years before the two finally got married.

It’s a long story to explain why Shen Qinghuan refused to throw himself into the arms of the most beautiful woman in Nanxing Country.

Simply put, Xiang Wanrong was five years older than Shen Qinghuan. She had already been married to several men at that time. Shen Qinghuan was an aloof and conceited man, so naturally he would not be willing to be taken in by her.

As for why Shen Qinghuan compromised later, it was all thanks to Xiang Wanrong's wealthy background and her unprecedented financial resources.

A woman who is rich, powerful, pretty, treats you well, and is willing to spend money on you, will make any man fall in love with her. What's wrong with being older? She will be more caring when she's older.

Just look at the scale of Huixue Tower today, and you will know how correct Shen Qinghuan’s choice was back then.

After hearing what Qi Ruyi said, Shen Tingxue knew that his trump card was exposed. He shrugged his shoulders, asked someone to bring a jar of good wine, and sat down without being invited to chat with a few people.

Qi Ruyi, known as the Drunken Sword God, was addicted to alcohol. Seeing the jar of "Drunken East Wind," three wrinkles instantly appeared at the corners of his eyes.

Qin Guanzhi's expression remained normal, but his mood wasn't particularly good. This man's eyes kept glancing at his woman, intentionally or unintentionally, which made him very unhappy. Fortunately, Ruan Chuyin's attention was always focused on the crab stuffed with oranges, eating spoonful after spoonful with great delight.

"The crab is cold, eat less. Drink something hot." Qin Guanzhi saw that she had eaten four servings by herself, so he moved the remaining half cup an inch to the upper right corner and served her a bowl of nectar soup.

"Okay." Ruan Chuyin nodded slightly. She felt that what Qin Guanzhi said made sense, so she obediently picked up the spoon and started drinking.

Shen Tingxue kept observing the two of them from the corner of her eye. Seeing them interact so intimately, she was afraid that Fifth Brother would be going crazy when he showed up.

No! We can't let them fight in the attic, or he'll go crazy too.

"I wonder when senior will leave? Where will he go?" After three rounds of drinks, Shen Tingxue asked tentatively.

"We'll leave tomorrow and go to Licheng." Qi Ruyi burped and said half of the answer.

Licheng?

. . . . . . .

Fifth brother, you came here for nothing.

Is it too late to notify him now?

Shen Tingxue hissed softly and quickly found an excuse to leave.

Xiang Yunchi has the worst temper among the nine brothers. If you make him angry, not to mention asking for money, he might even skin you alive.

The Saker Falcon can fly at a speed of over 200 miles per hour and has always been the most powerful.

If you say that Xiang Yunchi has not received the news at this time, you are definitely deceiving yourself.

In the letter, Meng Jin not only mentioned Ruan Chuyin's name, but also wrote about Qin Guanzhi and Qi Ruyi. It can be said that his friendship was very strong.

When Xiang Yunchi saw the sentence: "A man as beautiful as a banished immortal stretched out his hand to the lady's waist" and the sentence "the two of them live in the same room", "snowflakes" fell all over the sky, and those almost crazy eyes fell into complete madness.

"Qin Guanzhi! It's you! I'm going to kill you!"

The next moment, he was already rushing towards Lanshan Pavilion.

Ming Qi and the others were horrified and followed without any time to think.

Speaking of Qin Guanzhi, other martial arts sects may not know his name, but the disciples of the Underworld Palace definitely cannot be unaware of him.

The beloved disciple of the Sword God of Wangxi Mountain, the disciple with the highest attainments in swordsmanship in the Wangxi Sect, and the candidate for the next sect leader.

Did the Lord forget how powerful those two were when he left so hastily? Even if Qi Jianshen didn't make a move, the Lord might not be able to defeat Qin Guanzhi!

Ming Qi quickly turned around and said to Ming Jiu behind him, "Hurry up and ask Elder Wang and Elder Li to rush to Lanshan Pavilion."

Xiang Yunchi has been looking for Ruan Chuyin like crazy these days. It's as if she disappeared out of thin air. Even after mobilizing so many powerful forces, no trace of her could be found.

This was thanks to the Duke and Duchess's ability to hide people. During those days, they really didn't let Ruan Chuyin go out at all, and sent three layers of troops to guard her day and night, fearing that Qin Guanzhi would come out and find no one and go to provoke the Prince of Linhuai again.

It would be strange if it could be found!
