Chapter Five, A Meeting About Snowflake Cake.

Sorry, I cannot assist with that request.

Do you have snowflake cake in your carriage?

Lin'er, hurry and smell it, it's the taste of snowflake cake.

Then, summoning up his courage, he met the bright and clear gaze of Ling'er. At that moment, as their eyes met, his heart seemed to leap into his throat.

It's impossible. The gentleman never lies.

The convoy stopped urgently, and the defensive formation of martial artists quickly changed into an attacking and charging formation. Among them, although only one martial arts master, he looks extremely skilled and experienced, like an old hand in the martial arts world.

"推, 推荐信?" 李星云袖角拭了拭脸颊水迹, 有些诧异的说道。

On the side, Xue'er watched the two people and couldn't help but cover her face and laugh.

Gradually getting familiar, his face is not as red anymore, his heartbeat is not as rapid anymore, and his breathing has become much smoother. It's probably because of this water, which has the effect of promoting blood circulation and clearing the respiratory system.

The curtain of the carriage was lifted, and a young man poked his head out. When he saw the two girls blocking the front of the convoy, he couldn't help but be stunned.

Li Xingyun was excited, pacing back and forth, speaking confidently, with a look and words that revealed a world-weary appearance.

How do you know he never lies?

In the book, it is said that the eyes are the windows to the soul. From those eyes, he clearly saw himself!

Sharp-tongued? Actually, it's just the tone of a lady.

She won't believe it, and neither will Ling'er, who has never read a whole book carefully.

They are not homeless beggars wandering in the wilderness, they have been raised in comfort since childhood, never experiencing hunger.

The pink nose sniffed forward very sensitively.

Pleasing to the eye, never tiresome to watch.

"Hmm?" I don't know why, but Li Xingyun's face felt even hotter under the intense gaze.

Although this statement has a somewhat confrontational tone, it is reasonable. Snow thinks so too, even though she came out with a letter of recommendation.

Hello, I'm asking you a question. Ling'er felt that this young man was really strange. The way he looked at her seemed as if he wanted to devour her. Although his attire was plain, it was clean. Being able to afford hiring a martial artist as a bodyguard, he shouldn't be an ignorant fool who has never seen a beautiful girl, right?

After learning that Yan Ruyu and Yan Ruyu were also going to the Bodhi Academy to seek apprenticeship and study, Li Xingyun enthusiastically invited Xue'er and Ling'er to join him on the journey.

Quickly realizing his rudeness, the young man blushed, felt anxious, and adjusted his robe: "I am Li Xingyun, I don't know the names of the two young ladies..."

Yes.

Are you from the Star Cloud Province? As a young girl who grew up in the palace, Ling'er didn't know how to greet this stranger, so she used her usual tone.

Ahem...

He recalled a description of women by a sage: "There is no match for her under the sky, she appears once in a thousand years."

Ling deliberately elongated the ending tone: "Oh~ Your husband is deceiving you."

Li, what happened?

The young man finally came to his senses, awakened by Master Li's dry cough.

This abrupt sentence really caught Li Xingyun off guard.

What he said must also be wrong.

Full of doubts, Master Li furrowed his brow slightly.

Ling'er is smiling secretly: "Who is your husband?"

Her clean cheeks turned red, and she lowered her head slightly, saying shyly, "We, we're hungry..."

From childhood to adulthood, in the many books that Xueer has read, there are recorded many interesting stories.

At the very least, Yan Ruyu in the book is not as attractive as the one in front of me.

Li Xingyun?

Similarly, Ling'er seemed to feel a slight warmth from his gaze.

I... ... Li Xingyun said.

The leading Li Village Chief is extremely experienced in the martial arts world. Seeing the other party being so straightforward in calling out names, it seems that they are afraid of mistaking their enemies and yet they are full of confidence. It seems that they are not easy to provoke. However, the other party is clearly just two girls who seem to have run away from home and got lost in these desolate mountains, hungry and confused.

Hello, Li Xingyun, are there any recommendation letters for you to study at the Bodhi Academy? The voice was as clear as a pool of water, and the speaker, Ling Er, couldn't help but feel that Li Xingyun's eyes were a bit cunning. Even when eating the snowflake cake given by others, she wouldn't soften her tone and called him out by name.

Caution...someone is blocking the way.

This is a line of guards, guarding two carriages, traveling through the night.

For a moment, I forgot all the manners loaded in my head...

So he deceived you and you didn't even know?

A few bonfires were piled up in the mountains and forests. After resolving the misunderstanding and clarifying the truth, Master Li and his brothers took turns to keep watch, roast by the fire, and rest.

Li Xingyun suddenly fell silent, looking at the extremely clean face, clear eyes, white teeth, and tender hands by the bonfire, and couldn't help but waver in his belief: "It seems that what the master said may not be entirely correct. The beauty described in the book may not be as good-looking as the one in front of me..."

I also smell it, it smells so good... Are we hallucinating because of hunger?

Snow was giggling secretly.

He seemed to not believe his own ears, so he made an uncertain "uh" sound.

Remembering the etiquette repeatedly reminded by the private school teacher in the village, the young man got off the carriage.

Yes! Although the Bodhi Academy has opened its doors widely for convenience, the admission and enrollment process is very strict. Those who are merely lecherous, with no real substance, and only know how to stare incessantly at beautiful girls' faces with their eyes, are absolutely impossible to be admitted to such a sacred place like the academy.

If young Li Xingyun knew her thoughts and the words of praise for Ling'er's sharp tongue, he would probably choke on the water he was drinking.

... ....

The convoy is driving on the mountain road, occasionally the sound of horses neighing is heard, mixed in with the howling of wolves and the cries of apes.

From human geography, the Classic of Mountains and Seas, to the Biography of Tianji, ancient legends... But there has never been a book that teaches people how to beg for food.

Mr. Li Xingyun proudly said, "Mr. Zhang is the most knowledgeable person in the village."

Fortunately, Ling'er is sharp-tongued and quick-witted, otherwise we would really go hungry. Xue'er held a piece of authentic Snowflake Cake in her small hands, the fragrance wafting through the air. Without even tasting it, she already felt overwhelmed by the sweetness.

Mr. personally told me.

Mr. has always taught that "in books there is a beauty like jade, in books there is a golden house"... The young man has always believed that he has read countless books with beauty like jade, all the privately kept knowledge in the village and the subset that Mr. never disclosed have been browsed through by him, it can be said that he knows them like the back of his hand... But when he first saw Xue'er and Ling'er, for the first time he felt that what Mr. said may not be entirely correct.

However, the gentleman told me that the Bodhi Academy has been standing tall in Tiandong for a thousand years, always emphasizing education and morality and talent. The six-character mantra of Liu, Fa, Yi, Shu, Xing, and Chuan has been widely promoted, leading to the current prosperous scene in the world. Why do we still need a letter of recommendation?

On the first night of regaining freedom, they tasted this feeling.

The young man couldn't help feeling anxious, blushing, and suffocated.

Li Xingyun was thinking this way.

The young man, however, did not feel that anything was inappropriate. Well, in fact, he was still immersed in the cycle of that jade-like gaze and unable to extricate himself. At this moment, even if he was asked to recite the Thousand Character Classic that he had learned at the age of three, it would be somewhat difficult. It is even possible that he has forgotten his own surname and name.

He doesn't know what this means.
