Many historians have analyzed what Ye Lingtian was thinking at the time, and finally they all agreed that Ye Lingtian had been looking for an opportunity to counterattack the imperial capital and establish himself as emperor during the more than ten years of his disappearance.

Who knows what he is thinking? It's all just a guess.

"Congyun, why is such a precious cultural relic on display in a movie theater?"

"Um... I don't know..."

......

After watching the movie and leaving the cinema, Ji Yuanqing followed An Congyun to the bookstore.

Ji Yuanqing had finished reading the latest volume of "The Legend of Swordsman Ling Tian" long ago, but An Congyun had not.

“No wonder Ye Lingtian is admired by so many people. Who wouldn’t like someone with such great charm?”

Boys will be excited by his martial arts skills, while girls will be attracted by the descriptions of his extraordinary appearance and various legends.

"Qingqing, do you think what is recorded in this chapter is true? I can't believe it... He led fifty cavalrymen to rush into the enemy camp and cut off the heads of enemy generals... It's too outrageous."

"This incident is indeed true, and it is recorded in history books!"

Although history books are bound to be exaggerated, and many people are skeptical about Ye Lingtian's actual martial arts ability, Ji Yuanqing firmly believes that all of this is true.

"Let me see. After this battle, he was named the Great General and given the authority to command the three armies... He is truly amazing."

After finishing reading the latest volume 8, An Congyun and Ji Yuanqing finally decided to go home.

Along the way, An Congyun kept asking Ji Yuanqing what happened next.

Ji Yuanqing, who had learned about Ye Lingtian's deeds in advance, was also very interested in telling his friends about it:

"Not long after the war ended, he retired from the army. No one knew where he went or what he did. Eighteen years later, he suddenly reappeared in the world. It was a time of chaos. Except for the imperial capital and its surrounding areas, which were relatively stable, many other places were full of evil people who robbed the people and were bloodthirsty... He traveled the world with a sword and created many achievements..."

"Then why was he surrounded and killed by the people of the dynasty in the end?"

"Perhaps... he is too powerful? The historical account says that Ye Lingtian killed innocent people indiscriminately, causing thousands of people to petition the court. This is completely nonsense."

......

......

......

Ji Yuanqing had a lot of fun today.

How happy it is to have such a like-minded friend...It's a pity that her friend will soon go to another place to study in a university that she can never attend.

"Are you back? How much did you spend today?"

"Fifty."

"This money will be deducted from your pocket money. Go wash the dishes."

After chatting with his stepmother, Ji Yuanqing finished the leftovers, washed the dishes numbly and returned to his room.

She lay down on the bed, picked up the novel at hand and began to read it with great interest.

This is a collection of legends related to Ye Lingtian, which records some unconfirmed things.

To put it simply, it is the story told by the people at that time.

For example, the Taoist leader Zhang Sanfeng, who later appeared, was said to have been rescued by Ye Lingtian and was able to survive the end of the troubled times.

Because this incident was too bizarre, it was not recognized by the world.

They are not from the same era, so how could they be related?

Just when Ji Yuanqing was watching with great interest, her locked door was suddenly knocked loudly, and a woman's angry roar was faintly heard from outside.

Chapter 79: Bean paste

"Did you use the money to buy books?"

"I......"

When Ji Yuanqing opened the door, he was greeted with a scolding from his stepmother.

"Look at you. You know your family has no money, but you still want to go out and play with your friends. Can your friend give you 100,000 or 80,000 yuan to support you?"

"..."

"And those books, bring them to me!"

Ji Yuanqing bit her lip and handed the book that she had not yet hidden beside the bed to her stepmother, then watched her tear out the pages of the book one by one and crumple it into a ball of paper.

"I've also torn up the books in your bag that have nothing to do with studying. I'm telling you, if you don't do well in the college entrance exam, just go to work and don't expect me to pay you to waste time! Do you understand?"

"Um......"

After Ji Yuanqing sent his stepmother away, he picked up the paper balls on the ground one by one and flattened them with trembling hands.

It was not until the sun set that she finally managed to restore the book to its original state.

Why did she open the door? Because she had tried before and her stepmother had smashed it with a hammer.

Just when she finally had time to read, yelling and scolding suddenly came from the door again.

She instantly lost interest in reading. After getting into bed, she curled up and listened silently to the sounds at the door.

The drunk dad was beating her stepmother again.

If nothing unexpected happens, her father will come to her door with a knife and scold her again in a while.

Thinking of this, Ji Yuanqing immediately got out of bed, unlocked the door, and then returned to bed.

Just when she was about to fall asleep from waiting, her father came to her door with a kitchen knife in his hand.

The other hand was holding the hair of the struggling stepmother.

"F*ck it! I work every day to support you guys, and you treat me like this? If you move again?! If you move again, I'll chop you up with a knife!"

Ji Yuanqing looked at his father who had lost his mind due to drunkenness and didn't dare to say a word.

Wait one night.

Once this night is over, everything will return to normal.

......

"Qingqing, how about you come to my house to play today? I can help you review some important math knowledge. Didn't you say that your math has always been not very good?"

Early in the morning, Ji Yuanqing was sitting in front of the window talking on the phone with An Congyun.

"Thank you, but I have something to do today."

"What's up? Are you guys going to have another big dinner?"

"I guess so......"

Ji Yuanqing waited until the quarreling downstairs stopped before finally going downstairs to eat the leftovers.

After cleaning up the dishes, she suddenly wanted to visit An Congyun's house.

"Cong Yun?"

"what happened?"

"Can I come to your house now? I'm fine here."

"Of course! I'll hold the door open, you can just come in."

Ji Yuanqing quietly walked out of the house and came to the door of his best friend's house across the street.

"After giving it some thought, I decided to pick you up at the door."

Looking at An Congyun's smile, Ji Yuanqing couldn't help but smile as well.

......

At sunset, Ji Yuanqing politely declined An Congyun's request to have dinner together and arrived at his doorstep with trepidation.

"Where did you go?"

"Friend's house..."

After a brief conversation, there was suddenly no sound from behind the door.

Ji Yuanqing squatted at the door and watched the sun set and the moon rise.

She didn't even enter the house until her vision became blurred.

Hungry and cold, she fell asleep on the stairs outside her house.

The next morning, her schoolbag was thrown out, which made the dazed Ji Yuanqing completely awake.

She carried her schoolbag and walked downstairs and saw An Congyun waiting for her.

"Did you sleep well last night?"

"I guess... I have a stiff neck."

Just as he finished speaking, Ji Yuanqing's stomach started to growl.

"You haven't eaten yet?"

"Losing weight...nothing."

"You're already so thin, and you're still trying to lose weight?"

An Congyun's eyes were fixed on Ji Yuanqing's chest, his tone full of disbelief.

"Come on, I'll treat you to a good meal at the school gate!"

I love you, I really love you, please don't insult me, okay??

Chapter 80 Why does she like to read his story?

Ji Yuanqing looked out the window at the opposite side, and suddenly felt a mixture of emotions in his heart.

Today is the last day of the college entrance examination.

When An Congyun returned to her doorstep, she glanced in the direction of Ji Yuanqing. She seemed to have seen him, but also seemed not to have seen him. She turned around and walked into her own residence.

......

Before the summer vacation was over, Ji Yuanqing stood at the school gate and saw the name at the top of the list.

An Congyun.

Her photo was hung in the biggest place, and the school also gave her a lot of face——

This guy is the real top scholar!

When she was not in class, her classmates were discussing this senior who suddenly transferred to the school and then directly won the first place in the province.

She rarely showed up in school, so they rarely saw her since they were far away in the Grade 12 teaching building.

And she never participates in school activities.

"You should study hard with your senior sister. I won't say more..."

Ji Yuanqing took out a novel from the desk.

This was exactly the ninth volume of "The Legend of the Swordsman Lingtian" that An Congyun gave her.

Just as she turned to the first page, the teacher's voice suddenly paused.

"Ji Yuanqing."

"Old...teacher..."

"I won't take your novel. Just take it and read it yourself."

Amid the discussions of his classmates, Ji Yuanqing came to the corridor holding the novel.

This was the last gift An Congyun gave her before he left.
