Chapter 232 Friends meet
"Miss Lili, just take a good rest in your room. I will push the guests away now."

"If you have any questions, remember to call me in time."

Mother Chen, who was outside the door, said what she had said to Si Lili and then turned and left.

Although it's easy to make money from customers, you still have to be careful about the situation.

If anything unexpected happened to the big Buddha in their "Zuixianlou", the loss would be huge.

Afterwards, Si Lili stopped paying attention to what was happening outside the door and continued to pick up the brush in her hand to trace the calligraphy on the table.

Because she was interrupted just now, Si Lili lost the feeling she had just now when she was describing a few words, and almost went awry.

"cough……"

Si Lili sighed helplessly, put down the brush in her hand, and pinched her eyebrows.

She doesn't know what's going on lately, but she's always feeling a little uneasy.

Is something big going to happen?
Thinking of this, Si Lili took out a brand new booklet from the table, which contained all the poems and essays that she had carefully selected and copied down by hand.

When she turned over one of the papers, she saw a five-character regulated verse written on it.

"On an idle night, I sit under the bright moon, and a hermit plays the zither."

"I suddenly heard the sad tune of the wind, like the song of cold pines."

"White snow scatters slender hands, green water clarifies the heart."

"Zhong Qi has been gone for a long time, and there is no one in the world who understands him."

……

Si Lili recited the poem in a low voice.

Even though she had read this poem countless times.

But every time I think of it again, I have a different feeling.

Especially the last sentence, "There is no soulmate in the world."

It is easy to get money, but hard to find a soulmate. This is absolutely true.

She has been familiar with poetry and prose since childhood, and has indeed made great achievements in this area and is very confident.

However, over the years, I have never encountered any particularly amazing talents in the field of ancient poetry and literature.

Even those literary masters were not in her eyes, and she felt they were a bit vulgar.

However, just over a month ago, the Second Prince suddenly became famous in Zuixianlou, like a shooting star, and completely astonished her.

Si Lili didn't expect that there would be such a talent in the world, and so young.

The most important thing is that he doesn't ask for money or his body, he just wants to be her confidant.

Unfortunately……

After that incident, Si Lili never saw the Second Prince again. She had thousands of things she wanted to say to him, but she never had the chance.

Thinking of this, Si Lili rested her chin on her hand on the table in front of her and fell into deep thought.

Soon, a blush flashed across her face.

at the same time,

Haitang Duoduo was lurking on the second floor of "Zuixianlou". After turning left and right, she came to the door of a room.

When she looked up, she saw a plaque with the words "Liuyun Pavilion" hanging in front of the door.

Si Lili seemed to remember that the bedroom where she lived was called "Liuyun Pavilion".

This should be it.

Si Lili quietly came to the window, opened it a crack, and looked inside.

Then, she saw Si Lili.

Sure enough, it's here.

After seeing Si Lili, Haitang Duoduo was about to enter the room when she discovered something was wrong.

Because she saw that at this moment Si Lili was resting her chin on the table, as if she was thinking about something.

Not only that, her face actually blushed.

If a girl blushes, she must be thinking about her lover.

Could it be that her best friend already has a lover?
Thinking of this, Haitang Duoduo entered the room quietly.

Si Lili did not feel anything unusual, still resting one hand on the table, lost in thought. Just as her face turned slightly red and she smiled, Haitang Duoduo sat directly beside her.

She held her cheeks with both hands, looked at Si Lili in front of her, and said softly:

"What are you thinking about?"

"Ouch!" Si Lili was startled when she heard the sound next to her ear. She lost her balance and fell to the place behind her.

However, just as her body was about to fall, Haitang Duoduo reached out and held her up.

When Si Lili stopped, she immediately reacted and exclaimed, "You... who are you?"

"When did you come in?"

Haitang Duoduo couldn't help but laugh at her best friend's panic-stricken look.

Just as she was about to speak, she heard the sound of a sword.

"Hey!"

An old woman flashed out from the room, immediately swung the sword in her hand, and rushed straight towards Haitang Duoduo.

Just when the sword in the old woman's hand was about to pierce Haitang Duoduo's body, she stretched out two fingers and pushed it forward.

There was a crisp sound of 'ding'.

The sword that the old woman had just stabbed with changed direction and passed by Haitang Duoduo.

However, the old woman missed the target with her sword, so she stepped back a few steps and swung her sword again to chop down the enemy head-on.

But when he swung the sword, he felt extremely shocked in his heart.

Because she just realized that she was no match for the man in front of her.

Even if she used all her strength, she probably wouldn't be able to defeat the opponent.

When I thought of this, I felt both terrified and aggrieved.

After all, she is also an eighth-rank master.

Whether in Northern Qi or when he first came to Southern Qing, he was always a leader with few rivals.

However, in the past month, for some unknown reason, I was unable to defeat the two opponents I finally met.

Does she still have any face left?

Thinking of this, the old woman drew her sword even faster than before.

In just a few breaths, he had already used more than a dozen moves, determined to regain his face.

After a while.

With a clang, the long sword in the old woman's hand was suddenly knocked to the ground.

She was surprised at first, then she knelt on the ground, bowed and said:

"This slave deserves to die."

"I didn't realize it was the Saint Lady just now, please forgive me."

No wonder she was no match just now. It turned out that the person in front of her was actually the Holy Maiden of Northern Qi.

He is a ninth-grade master, so naturally he is much more powerful than her.

Si Lili, who had been huddled in a corner with her hands on her chest and a look of fear on her face, hurriedly looked towards Haitang Duoduo after hearing the old woman's words.

When she recognized that it was the other person, she breathed a sigh of relief.

I scared her just now, and thought she was some daring person, but it turned out to be her best friend.

"Duoduo!" Si Lili walked quickly to Haitang Duoduo and hugged her.

Haitang Duoduo patted her shoulder and said with a smile: "Lili, long time no see."

Si Lili leaned in Haitang Duoduo's arms, feeling a little unreal, as if she was dreaming.

She didn't expect to see her best friend in Kyoto City, Nanqing.

However, when I felt the other person's body, I confirmed this idea.

"Duoduo, I miss you so much."

"Why did you come here all of a sudden?"

“It’s like a dream.”
