070 â Purple haired demon girl!
Just as Cui Xiaoxin was pondering deeply and Yan Xiangmaon was pointing his fingers and criticising the flowers in the courtyard with a posture that seems as if heâs a little professional gardener, the voice of mother talking to someone could be heard outside.
âXiaoxin, this child likes quiet, thereâs so many rooms in the front yard but she insists on having the most remote area. What young girl doesnât like lively and bustling places, Iâm just worried that if she lived here for too long she would develop an antisocial personalityâââ
âI also like quiet.â A young voice said. Even from a distance, it still gave people an ice-cold and conceited feeling. As if her words did not carry any emotions at all.
Cui Xiaoxin canât help but secretly chuckle to herself. The Lu family sent over an arrogant girl who doesnât know how to talk to visit her, what deep meaning are they trying to convey?
Itâs obvious that mother is not used to dealing with girls of this nature.
After a moment of silence, a very exaggerated laughter then followed: âHaha, I had no idea that young children of today likes quiet, this is completely different from when we were youngââNow that Xiaoxin is back and since you two are of a similar age and will both study in West Wind, you should visit each other more often in the future, so you two wonât be lonely.â
âI have lot of friends.â Lu Qiji said.
âââ-â
âBut I am very happy to be friends with older sister Xiaoxin.â Lu Qiji said aloud.
Cui mother really canât stand this style of speech, ice-cold and tough, every word was like a sword suddenly being unsheathed.
As a noble of Tiandu, shouldnât we compliment and flatter each other, and despite any backstabbing, maintain grace and act calm on the outside?
This Lu familyâs young lady is not playing the usual cards, making it difficult for a perfect example of an upper-class woman to receive the cards normally.
Itâs obvious that Cui mother significantly increased her walking pace, after bringing Lu Qiji over to Cui Xiaoxinâs small courtyard door, she shouted: âXiaoxin, Xiaoxin, Lu familyâs young lady is here to see youâ-â
Cui Xiaoxin was already waiting inside the courtyard, hearing her motherâs voice she immediately came to the entrance of the courtyard. Taking a glance at the âpurple-haired demon girlâ Lu Qiji in front of her, known as one of the three bright moons of the kingdom, she canât help but have a breathtaking feeling.
Although she had seen Lu Qiji before but that was when they were still young, their faces and bodies had not developed yet. At that time she already thought she was cute and must be a beauty when she grows up.
But now, after seeing her in person she realised the word âbeautyâ can hardly describe her good looks? This really is a devastatingly beautiful face.
Cui Xiaoxin had always thought high of herself, although she and the Lu familyâs Lu Qiji, Song familyâs Song Chenxi are all known as the three bright moons of the kingdom, but she simply laughed off these rumours because she felt she is different from other peopleââthat is, deep in her heart she considers herself to be more outstanding, more beautiful and much more intelligent than them.
But now seeing the captivating and gorgeous young woman wearing a long white robe, there is a feeling of shame.
This beautiful woman is not only the bright moon, sheâs clearly a fiery sun.
Lu Qiji waited for quite some time but Cui Xiaoxin did not say anything to her and instead just stared at her in astonishment, as if this is the first time she laid her eyes on a treasured object.
This sizing up made her extremely unhappy, with her brows slightly raised, she broke the silence by saying: âI heard Xiaoxin sister was attacked in Jiangnan, we had been worried incessantly at Tiandu. I know that sister came back a few days ago, so I wanted to come and visit. I picked out a few small gifts that I hope Xiaoxin sister will like.â
The maid following behind Lu Qiji walked in front holding a box, delivering it over to Cui Xiaoxin.
âThank you Qiji little sister, I like it very much.â Cui Xiaoxin also knows sheâs was too rude just now, what reason is there to just abruptly stare at the guest without saying a single word? She did not open the presents on the spot and merely beckoned to the servant, instructing her to take the gifts back to her room. âQiji sister should just come to visit, there is no need to be so polite.â
âItâs just some little gifts, as long as sister likes it.â Lu Qiji said indifferently. She was also sizing up Cui Xiaoxin; a beauty, her manners are also very good, sheâs gentle and intelligent, a completely different style to her.
Yan Xiangma wiped away his saliva, flipped open his fan and gently waved it in front of his chest, displaying the look of a fine noble son, then with a bright and cheerful he said aloud: âMy little sister is right, you only need to come visit, no need to bring gifts. Xiaoxin little sister, isnât that right?â
âThis is?â Lu Qiji stared at Yan Xiangma with an annoyed face and asked aloud. This idiot was just staring at her attentively with a flushing face, his saliva is splashing across and yet heâs still unaware of it. If she werenât a guest at someone else home, she would have kicked him out already.
Before Cui Xiaoxin had time to say anything, Yan Xiangma had already walked in front of Lu Qiji, bowed deeply with his hands held in front and said: âYan Xiangma, Cui Xiaoxinâs older cousin. Of course, I regards her as my younger sister, she also sees me as her older brotherââMiss you are Lu Qiji, the fairy of Tiandu? After seeing you today, this is surely a fully justified name. As they say, you really are the most beautiful woman I have ever seen. Like the bright moon in the sky, like the fierce blazing sun. Everything on the earth, when in front of Miss beautiful face loses its luster. Of course, as a result my eyes lit up as a result. Because this light is too strong, I canât even see clearlyâ-â
Lu Qijiâs eyes swept across him and then looked at Cui Xiaoxin and asked: âIs he crazy?â
âNot crazy.â Cui Xiaoxin covered her mouth and lightly chuckled: âJust a love-struck idiot.â
Cui Xiaoxin made an inviting gesture and said: âLittle sister come inside and talk.â
âYou young people can talk, I wonât bother you.â After finishing her sentence, Cui Xiaoxinâs mother hurriedly left with her maid. If this continues any longer she might choke to death from the words of the Lu familyâs young lady.
They took a seat in a small but elegant living room, while the servant brought up tea and cakes.
Two unfamiliar young girls wanting to be like the adults, exchanging warm greetings and talking non stop, really isnât easy.
Lu Qiji held a cup of tea with both her hands; Cui Xiaoxin also doesnât know what to say.
Fortunately, Yan Xiangma who just suffered a huge blow just moment ago took the cup of tea handed over by the servants and said: âMiss Qiji likes to drink tea, right? This is fresh Lung Fu mountain birds tongue, although the first taste is light and thereâs only a hint of aroma. But once the tea enters into the lungs, the delicate fragrance is much more intense.â
âXiangma young master, this is Junshan Silver Needle, not birdâs tongueâ-â The little maid next to him corrected him.
âââââ
Cui Xiaoxin really cannot bear to see this idiot older cousin continue his performance, she quickly helped him out of his embarrassment: âI like to drink Longjing tea. What about Qiji sister?â
âIt depends.â Lu Qiji said. She then thought this answer might be too cold and tough, she added: âAs long as its tea, its fine..â
âOh.â Cui Xiaoxin also felt exhausting dealing with her: âSister is going to West Wind, right? We might be school mates.â
âStill not finalised.â Lu Qiji said with a gentle smile. âSaying this, it reminds me of another thing. Xiaoxin sister has just returned from Jiangnan, you should know the âJiangnan famous colt â Li Muyang, right? Recently many people are discussing about him, many people are eager to catch a glimpse of him. I wonder what his appearance and style are like?â
âAbout thisâ-â
âHahahahahaââ Yan Xiangma burst into loud laughter: âWhat appearance and style? Heâs clearly just a big piece of charcoal. If Miss Qiji would like to meet him then leave it to me, he was my good brother when I was still in Jiangnan. Although heâs ugly but his character is trustworthy. Otherwise, I wouldnât be friends with him.â
âUgly is a bit too harsh.â Cui Xiaoxin corrected Yan Xiangmaâs unintentional degrading: âHe has a sense of pride in himself and heâs ambitious. Rumours are true. If he comes to Tiandu, Qiji sister will understand.â
âIâm really curious.â Lu Qijiâs eyes were twinkling brightly, she said with a smile: âHe won and achieve the title, became the first in the kingdom; when he comes to Tiandu he will definitely face many criticism and challenges, right?â
âI believe Tianduâs youngsters have a big heart.â Cui Xiaoxin answered indifferently.
âIt seemsâ-Xiaoxin sister is trying to defend him?â Lu Qiji blinked her long eyelashes; her perfect enchanting face has a sense of oppression that makes it difficult for anyone to breathe.
Yan Xiangma immediately touched his nose, fearing that the dry weather would cause his nose to start to bleed.
âDoes it?â Cui Xiaoxin smiled: âHe and I are classmates, I should speak up for him. If I see my classmates being bullied, I wonât stand aside and do nothing, thatâs too cold-hearted.â
âXiaoxin sister is kind, we should learn from her.â Lu Qiji said with a smile. âI wonât disturb sister from resting, Iâll come and visit sister next time.â
After finished talking, Lu Qiji stood up and left.
Cui Xiaoxin also stood up to see her off, until the silhouette of the domineering and arrogant purple haired girl disappears into the garden.
âThis Tiandu demon girl really is conceited and has an insufferably arrogant faceâ-Well, whatâs the big deal? With her appearance, sheâs not even one-thousandth of Xiaoxin cousinâââ Yan Xiangma grumbled while staring with a look of infatuation at Lu Qiji from behind.
With a face deep in thought, Cui Xiaoxin whispered: âShe came for Li Muyang.â
âWhat?â Yan Xiangma turned around and asked.
âDonât you think itâs strange? After she entered the room she said less than ten words to me, but more than half are directed against Li Muyangââdo they know each other?â
