Food Fairy Lord

Chapter 536 No Trace

Sometimes poetry seems weak, and sometimes the sword seems thin.

Unlike the Taiping Cao Gang, the events of Huanlou will not spread among the hundreds of streets for people to talk about, but within just a few days, the entire upper echelons of Shenjing will know everything that happened tonight.

And such poetry cannot be hidden.

Even if everyone here today is a nobleman protected by "God's will", it will flow out from every conversation, unstoppable and unbreakable. The only thing is that when people ask where this poem came from, few people can tell the occasion when it was written, but that doesn't matter.

Because its meaning is too clear and sharp, especially in the current raging debate, it is like throwing a bunch of gunpowder into the fire.

The banquet came to an end in deep silence. Fortunately, it didn't need to be endured for too long. The effect of the medicine began to gradually dissipate, and a feeling of dizziness came at the same time.

People came in one by one, and left one by one, leaving the red building and returning to the banks of the Jade Bridge and Spring Water.

Then there was no need to move anymore. Just like watching Xiaomao and the others just now, Pei Ye's own body gradually disappeared. He spread out his [Quail Head] and felt everything carefully. The scene in front of him went away like a vortex of stars. After a hazy dream, the quiet night enveloped his five senses again.

The spring flowers are fragrant, the cold stars are high in the sky, and when Pei Ye's eyes are fixed, his body is slightly tense... He is not at the place where he enters the Fantasy Tower.

The old wooden door was still standing far away, and some people who had come out earlier were leaving there. Pei Ye looked down at himself. The mask and the green clothes had disappeared, and he was still dressed the same as when he came... [Jade Tiger] had taken off the cloth strip and was holding it in his hand.

He was standing in exactly the same posture as just now by the water, except that now the colorful lights, the red building and the music and dancing were all gone. He was standing in a small pavilion, with only wild grass growing around him and the sound of insects and birds chirping in the silent night.

This was still the same deserted garden, but after he lost consciousness... he was nearly a hundred feet away.

It was definitely not someone who moved his body, Pei Ye had no such feeling. The next moment, he was startled, and a picture of himself unconscious and doing the same actions as in the illusion building appeared in his mind, but he quickly erased this possibility.

Not to mention that it was too strange that dozens of people were wandering in the deserted garden like possessed. He just looked down and didn't see the sword marks he had just made. There was a lot of grass and soil here, and no traces of footsteps were left.

The dreamlike feeling made the young man press his eyebrows lightly. Even though he had experienced it himself, he still didn't understand what the "Fantasy Tower" was. No wonder when he asked about it, Cui Zhaoye could only say "You will know when you go there."

He turned around at this time and saw the girl standing quietly behind him, having not said a word since she came out.

"What's wrong, Miss Cui?" Pei Ye did not have a chance to speak just now. He reacted at this time, "I'm sorry, although I said I came to Huanlou to investigate a case... I didn't expect to make a lot of noise."

Cui Zhaoye just leaned against the pillar and looked at him without saying a word.

"Miss Cui?"

"……Um?"

"I came in to give you face, but I ruined the party. I don't know how much trouble I have caused you, but if there is compensation, I will definitely not refuse."

"Ah." Cui Zhaoye laughed, "Why don't you come and discuss it with me first?"

"..."

"As if if I say 'no' you'll stop doing it."

Seeing that she wasn't really angry, Pei Ye also smiled: "To be honest, I am always polite afterwards and like to pretend to be polite."

"Young Master Pei is not the kind of person who won't do anything because he's afraid of offending others." Cui Zhaoye smiled, and looked at him with his beautiful eyes curved - Pei Ye seemed to be suddenly familiar with this look.

As expected, she continued in a soft voice: "It is my honor that Master Pei is willing to use my face. How can I blame you? As long as you don't think I'm a burden, you can bring me with you next time you use the sword."

"……ha."

After just a few words, the man's slightly drunk figure was revealed, and Pei Ye held his arm. The man raised his head with a smile and opened his mouth, but no sound came out. "Good poem, Brother Xu." Pei Ye said.

The man laughed, his face showing no sign of concealing his joy and happiness, and the sharpness in his eyes was simply intimidating.

He seemed to have lost the ability to speak. After laughing, he turned around and leaned against the pavilion pillar. He looked up at the vast starry sky, his expression dazed and speechless.

After a while, he turned around, looked at Pei Ye and stretched out his hand, smiled and said softly: "Since I received the clothes in the middle of the night, I don't envy Wang Xiang for getting a sword."

Pei Ye smiled and gently held the hand.

"Just now at the banquet, Master Pei said that he was also learning poetry," the man stood up, shook twice, and came close to Pei Ye, whispering, "If Master Pei wants to write any poems in the future, you can ask me to write for you."

“……” Pei Ye’s eyes widened.

The man stood up and nodded seriously at him, smiling and said, "My name is Li Yuxi, from Huaizhou in the Central Plains. It's a pleasure to meet you tonight."

The three of them waited for about a quarter of an hour under the moonlight.

While chatting, Pei Ye looked in another direction from time to time. When he calculated that the time was almost up, he couldn't help but tapping the hilt of the sword with his fingers and frowned slightly.

The boy looked a little worried, a little expectant, yet also a little uneasy and apprehensive. He rubbed the end of the handle with the tip of his thumb, revealing some subtle emotions.

In fact, it didn't take long before the figure in white walked out from under the moonlight.

Then everyone realized that her acting face was not made of illusion silk. She was now holding a white bundle in her hand. She opened it and put the small jade pendant inside. Then the girl tied the seal and put the bundle back on her back properly.

... Cui Zhaoye really didn't expect that she came to the banquet with this secret.

Then she raised her head and looked around, her eyes fixed on the three people under the pavilion...the young man in the middle.

His posture was very straight, with the sword leaning against his leg, and his eyes were like stars in the world under the night sky.

Brother Shi...you are quite tall and definitely not fat at all.

And he's really good at using a sword.

He walked up from the end of the banquet hall with a sword in hand, and no one could make him retreat a step until he cut off the prime minister's face with one sword.

"...Can you please take off the Buddha mask?"

Jiang Yin'er felt a little embarrassed when she thought about how clumsy she looked when she said this... But the moment this brother approached her without hesitation, she did feel a strange warmth and sense of security in her heart.

The boy in front of him scratched his ear.

What a beautiful face, Pei Ye thought.

In the night of the overgrown old garden, there was actually no one to introduce them, but the two of them seemed to be holding the fingers of their respective parents, and were pushed back to back and greeted each other in a somewhat awkward and polite manner in some bright and sunny hall in spring.

"Yin'er, say hello to Brother Pei."

"…Hello, Brother Shi."

"H-hello."
