The headscarf tied around their heads was a rich green, without a hint of any other color.
"Ahem, not bad, Uncle Bai, what made you decide on this outfit today?"
Li Bai felt sothing was off and glanced around:
"Wasn’t it because of Qian’er? I asked her last night about what to wear for today’s formal event. Uncle needed an outfit that would look both dignified and eye-catching, respectable, yet with a dash of carefree charm, highlighting the unique style of a master."
At this, he sighed, waving his hands, "So she got this for , bought it last ti in Xingzi Town. She said it’s the trending color... But honestly, does it really suit today?"
"Ahem." Zhao Rong told himself not to laugh and to stay serious.
He coughed, keeping a straight face, gave a once-over to the swordsman clad in green, and sided with a certain confident little girl, "It’s suitable, why wouldn’t it be?"
Unable to help himself, he glanced again, quickly averted his eyes, coughed with both hands, and asked solemnly, "Uncle Bai, after the ceremony, are you going to another formal event?"
Li Bai looked at his green attire with a mix of doubt and belief, thought for a bit, and nodded, "Sort of, I’m eting a woman who’s got power, influence, people, property, and wealth, the kind with a big family and business."
Hearing this, Zhao Rong smiled, good heavens, is this stacking up blessings?
The swordsman scratched his head, sighed, and added, "What’s more, she’s really headstrong and quite arrogant towards n. All the won in her family have this trait. Regardless of their age, she’s the worst, getting an appointnt with her is truly difficult..."
The swordsman muttered, shaking his head.
Curious, Zhao Rong asked, "Oh? Uncle Bai, are you discussing business?"
Li Bai hugged his sword, bead, and nodded, "Yes, representing our Qinglian Inn to discuss a business partnership. We need to show our family’s spirit. Last ti, that lady overshadowed us, but this ti, I must outshine her!"
"So it’s to make an impression, indeed that needs attention."
Zhao Rong touched his chin, pondered for a mont, and nodded affirmatively:
"Then this outfit is just right, Qian’er does have a good eye, Uncle Bai. Imagine, with this flowing green attire, standing alone in the chilly autumn breeze, holding your sword high, green sleeves fluttering, instantly becoming the most eye-catching color of the autumn, a captivating landscape full of lively energy..."
"Just ask, who could ignore that? This verdant shade is so conspicuous and dazzling. Unless soone has poor eyesight, at first glance from outsiders, hmm, their spirit is bound to be invigorated. No matter how arrogant or domineering a woman is, she would have to take a second look at you... Aren’t you the main character of the event?"
Zhao Rong was dead serious, his tone unwavering, "A master, no doubt."
Li Bai: "......"
Tightening his grip on the sword, he was half-convinced, "Why does it feel like you’re saying sothing similar to Qian’er..."
"How is it similar?"
Li Bai thought seriously for a mont and nodded, "The tone is a bit insincere... You guys aren’t fooling your uncle, are you? Uncle trusts you both so much."
The swordsman looked a bit forlorn, and he sighed, "Especially Qian’er, I care so much for her."
"How could it be? Everything said is the truth."
Zhao Rong cut the sentence off peculiarly, not blinking an eye.
He and Qian’er had an unspoken understanding in passing the baton on certain matters and wholeheartedly persuaded Li Bai.
Later on, it seed like they were willing to snatch the verdant attire from the swordsman to wear it themselves.
Li Bai furrowed his brow, and after listening, he issued a soul-searching question, "Wait a minute, why aren’t you wearing green today?"
If I dressed like that, Qian’er and Qingdai would probably laugh to death...
Zhao Rong quipped inwardly, slightly furrowed his brows on the surface, shook his head, and sighed, "I wish I could, but the rules say I have to wear the ceremonial attire, can’t dazzle the crowd with Uncle Bai, such a pity."
Li Bai observed his expression, slowly nodded, and stroked his chin, lost in thought...
Monts later, the green-clothed swordsman was revived, rolling up his sleeves, with a bold hand wave:
"No worries, today it’s like Uncle’s wearing it for you, humph, first, I’ll recover so ground, don’t be disheartened, next ti when opportunity knocks, this pair of old friends will wear it together!"
"Yes, it’s a promise!"
The older and younger man reached a great consensus and left satisfied.
...
Zhao Rong took Li Bai to find Gu Yiwu first and then went to et other students.
Zhao Rong conveyed the new arrangents to them.
Everyone was puzzled and glanced at each other.
