Chapter 595 - 585: Throwing the Embroidered Ball
The young man’s brows and eyes were like a painting, and his starry gaze shifted as if flowers bloomed when he turned his head. The teardrop mole under his eye appeared and disappeared with the lift of his eyelid, exuding a bewitching charm, yet the indifferent expression on his beautiful face added a touch of coldness.People always said that Pan An was extremely handsome in ancient times, but looking at this young man, he was indeed a match for Pan An.
Wearing a long black and red robe, he folded his arms and held his long sword to his chest, gazing ahead. His high-tied black hair fell loosely over his shoulder as he leaned lazily against the person beside him, adding a casual nonchalance to his indifferent demeanor.
The youth he leaned on was no less striking. With a jade-like face, dressed in a long green robe, he toyed with a white jade xiao in his hand. His peach blossom eyes held a faint smile as he looked in the same direction as the young man.
The youth was suave and handsome. He deftly twirled the xiao in his hand, then grasped it, his lips curling into a mischievous smile, exuding elegance.
The young man was cold and enigmatic, arrogant and free-spirited.
The youth was frivolous and arrogant, charming and suave.
Their appearance in front of the crowd naturally drew everyone’s attention.
Xu Renfei half-squinted his peach blossom eyes and with a twirl of the xiao in his hand, he spoke loudly, "Cool breeze has letters, the autumn moon boundless, longing for a beauty so much it feels like years..."
Bi Xia glanced at Xu Renfei lightly, his red lips curving indifferently, "Keep it simple, when are we throwing the embroidered ball?"
Landlord Wang and the others came to their senses, and he stood on the high platform, coughing lightly, "Since everyone is so eager, let’s begin throwing the embroidered ball now."
"This is my eldest daughter, Yan’er. Whoever catches the embroidered ball, regardless of who they are, will be the son-in-law of my Wang Family. I hope everyone will do their best!"
Bi Xia chuckled lightly, turning his head to Xu Renfei, "What do you think of this Landlord Wang, making his daughter throw an embroidered ball to pick a husband? What if a beggar catches it, will he really marry his daughter to a beggar?"
Xu Renfei tapped his palm lightly with the jade xiao, nodding in agreement, "I think if that happens, even if Landlord Wang agrees, this pair may not be happy and loving in the future."
Mr. Li stood beside them: ... Brothers, it’s just a game, don’t take it so seriously...
But then, Mr. Li began to cry, "Please, my benefactors, help me. If a beggar or someone with ill intentions grabs the embroidered ball, then Yan’er’s future..."
At this moment, Bi Xia scoffed, saying sinisterly, "So are you sure you’re a good person?"
Mr. Li paused, "What?"
Bi Xia gave Mr. Li a meaningful look, slowly shaking his head, "It doesn’t matter, after all, this is arranged by the organizers, it’s not real. But if it were real, I definitely wouldn’t help."
The human heart is hard to decipher; Who knows who’s good or bad.
The embroidered ball was thrown high up, and Bi Xia and Xu Renfei immediately experienced what it meant to be squeezed by the crowd.
They were pushed forward by the crowd rushing from behind, then sometimes pushed back. The feeling was indeed unpleasant. They finally understood how stampedes happened.
Xu Renfei and Bi Xia exchanged a glance, then Bi Xia turned and squeezed out towards the outside, while Xu Renfei stayed in the crowd.
When Bi Xia positioned himself outside, the embroidered ball was thrown, and Xu Renfei leaped high, slapping the ball towards Bi Xia.
But the force was too strong, and the starting point was too high. Bi Xia frowned slightly, then turned to see the small stool outside the wonton shop beside him. His starry eyes brightened, and he stepped on the small stool with one foot, exerting force with his heel, then stepped on the pillar of the shop.
His legs bent, and he leaped up swiftly.
With one hand, he grabbed the embroidered ball and rolled upon landing to cushion the impact. He steadied himself with one hand using the sword on the ground, raising the embroidered ball high. His starry eyes lifted, and his lips curved into an arrogant and free-spirited smile.
Landlord Wang was overjoyed and was about to announce the winner of the embroidered ball when the young man slowly stood up, casually dusting off his black robe. The embroidered ball in his hand was tossed lightly and landed straight into Mr. Li’s stunned hands.
Mr. Li: Damn, grabbing an embroidered ball is so wuxia, I feel so fantastic right now~
