Gongsunlan chuckled and said: “I understand, with our current relationship, you are impossible to guard against me, I just… want to confirm that’s all.”

Jiang Tingyun hearing this startled, and then said with a smile: “What about you? Do you think I should guard you?”

“How do you ask me to answer this question?”

Gongsunlan looked at him with motionless eyes: “If I said, you shouldn’t be guarded against me, would you not be guarded?”

Jiang Tingyun nodded: “It is true. “

“It’s like…”

Gongsunlan sighed, looked away, and murmured: “If I say, I won’t count on you…you Wouldn’t you really believe it?”

Jiang Tingyun hearing this startled, and then nodded again: “It is true.”

“…”

After the two were silent for a while, Gongsun Lan broke the silence.

She raised the wine jar, took another sip, and then said with a smile: “Today we will not talk about this, today, we will only drink.”

“Okay. “

Jiang Tingyun nodded, and then he followed Gongsunlan and took a sip of wine.

“But…I’m still very curious about one thing.”

Gongsunlan tilted his head to look at him: “You said before that the reason you want to drink with me is because Because, I want to find someone to chat with… But, why do you have to look for me? There are so many people in this world who can chat with you.”

Jiang Tingyun hearing this startled, and then I saw her At a glance, he said amusedly: “What do you say… Then I ask you, in this world, there are so many people who can chat with you, why do you want to chat in the air?”

“En?”

Gongsunlan hearing this startled, then looked away without a trace: “This…because I was by my side, not at all others…”

“Me too.”

Jiang Tingyun said with a smile.

“so that’s how it is…”

Gongsunlan slowly nodded.

“But…”

Speaking of which, Jiang Tingyun brows slightly wrinkle: “I think the reason is not that simple.”

Gongsun Lan slightly startled: “You mean…”

“I mean, we may be special to each other.”

He murmured One sentence.

Gongsunlan hearing this startled, then his face, slightly red: “You, you, you are…”

Would you show me okay?

Oh, obviously you just said that you don’t like me, what a hypocritical man!

Jiang Tingyun glanced at her and shook the head a little funny: “Where did you think of it? I didn’t mean that.”

Gongsunlan was hearing this startled, and then there was no trace. He looked away: “Then what do you mean?”

“I mean…the relationship between us is not a friend, but an enemy…enemy, this relationship, also Isn’t it special enough?”

“It’s true…but why should I chat with the enemy?”

Gongsunlan cast a glance at him and asked.

“There are many reasons.”

Jiang Tingyun smiled and said: “Maybe, we want to inquire about each other’s intelligence, or simply like stimulation… There are not many opportunities for someone who wants to kill you to drink.”

He seems to be pointing, but Gongsunlan naturally pretended not to understand.

“so that’s how it is.”

She is just lightly nodded.

After that, the two talked about something else, and time passed quickly.

And soon, Gongsunlan became drunk, and after a drunken hiccup, she lightly leaned on him.

“Practicing swords… Aunt Gongsun…”

She couldn’t hear her uttering something.

Jiang Tingyun turned his head and glanced at her, feeling a little complicated.

After that, he didn’t think about anything, just looked up and took a sip of wine.

Sure enough…he is still the same as before, no matter how drunk he is.

And a jar of wine, if it is not intoxicating, can it still be considered wine?

He thought for a while, then put the wine jar aside.

If a jar of wine is not drunk no matter how it is drunk, then there is no need to continue drinking.

He just lifts the head and looked at the bright moon in the sky all afternoon, and he was stunned for a while.

After another while, he held Gongsunlan and stood up, then jumped off the roof and entered her room.

After he put her on the bed and helped her cover her quilt, he flew out of the window.

He stepped on the roof of Gongsun Mansion and walked away slowly. Then, he flew into an Inn, took off his shoes, changed clothes, and fell asleep.

Now it seems that he will continue to stay in Licheng for a while, so naturally he needs a place to stay. He can’t always sleep in the carriage, right?

It’s just that, somehow tonight, he couldn’t fall asleep.

He looked at the pitch-black room and was stunned for a while.

Today…Why did he drink with Gongsunlan?

That was not his original plan. He originally wanted to hear her and then left.

However, in the end, he still made a sound.

Why?

On this point, his explanation to Gongsunlan is: I want to find excitement.

But, to myself, I can’t explain it that way.

Because, he knows, that’s not true.

There were more complicated reasons why he would speak out at that time and drink with her.

And the reason is that he likes her, right?

No, not at all.

He denied this again.

The reason why he speaks out is because of…loneliness.

Just because of loneliness.

Is he alone?

He was not sure before, but today he is sure: yes.

In those ten years, was he alone in hiding on the mountain to practice swordsmanship?

At that time, he said to himself, no.

But now he has to admit: yes.

At that time, he was impossible to be alone. Otherwise, he would not be a human being, but a god.

But he endured that kind of loneliness at that time, why?

Because, at that time, he believed that his efforts can be repaid.

He believes that there is a place in this world called Rivers and Lakes, where the heroes don’t have to work and have inexhaustible money; Courtesan in the brothel can really do business but not sell himself, at the same time, It is still a hidden Martial World expert; there, all those who are engaged in low-level jobs, the disabled, and those who are neither men nor women, have their own stories and their own pursuits.

He believes that one day he can become one of them, sing indulgently, and happily enmity.

However, Rivers and Lakes does not exist.

After knowing this, he would never have to endure loneliness anymore.

This is also the reason why he is so persistent in finding a real Martial World expert-because he doesn’t want his many years of work to be reduced to a complete joke.

However, it seems that even if it is not a joke, it is not far from a joke…

This is why he would go to Gongsunlan for a drink-Gongsunlan, She was also lonely, and, like herself, she also encountered a similar situation.

She practiced dancing for ten years and found out that her goal could not be achieved. Isn’t it the same as herself?

Perhaps, she was also keenly aware of this, and then she said so many things to herself who didn’t know whether it existed.

So speaking of which, they are really…the same sickness in various senses.

Although speaking of which, the reason why she encountered such a situation is because of her own sake.

Thinking of this, Jiang Tingyun couldn’t help but chuckle.
