Chapter 1333: Matching Couplets

Gu Yanqi smiled as she stepped down from the platform and came to Ning Chen's side; her eyes were bright, as if asking Ning Chen how she had performed.

Ning Chen did not disappoint her; he patted her head and said with a smile, "Excellent."

In fact, Ning Chen had just attracted the attention of many young ladies, but with his expressionless face, eyes devoid of any ripple, and an aura of pure clarity that made him utterly unapproachable, many ladies who wanted to strike up a conversation were deterred at the Damenkou.

The Ning Chen of now was like a thousand-year snow mountain suddenly melting; that stunning, shocking effect would remain in the heart, unforgettable.

"Miss, you are our first place this time; this is your prize. Miss, your skills are truly remarkable; I am deeply impressed."

A scholar who looked soft and weak suddenly stepped forward; in his hand he held a box, and upon opening it, the hairpin inside was revealed.

In the scholar's eyes as he looked at Gu Yanqi, there was clearly full interest; it was evident that he liked Gu Yanqi very much.

The scholar had not hidden his liking and admiration, so Gu Yanqi immediately sensed it; she looked at Ning Chen in a somewhat pleading manner, wanting to ask for his opinion.

Ning Chen glanced at the scholar before him who was smiling kindly, reached out, and took the hairpin himself.

This hairpin possessed an immortal aura and even carried a divine air; one could say it was free for the taking, so why not take it.

Holding the hairpin against Gu Yanqi's head twice, it was indeed a very good choice for styling her hair.

The scholar nearby suddenly spoke up: "Young Master, I know how to style hair; why not give this hairpin to me, and I will style the Miss's hair."

A man styling a woman's hair; the meaning of this was self-evident.

The young ladies around let out a slight sound of disappointment.

The reason they were so keen on participating in this event was largely because of the man before them; this man was a famous Young Master here.

In this world where everyone desperately cultivated immortality, this man not only cultivated well but was also full of literary talent; one could say that added points for him.

Lin Yi heard all this from a brother nearby; immediately, he looked at that man, feeling that the other party had ill intentions and clearly wanted to force his way in.

Regarding the man's words, Ning Chen actually felt like laughing, but he did not pay attention to the other party; instead, he looked gently at Gu Yanqi.

"Shall I style your hair for you?"

Gu Yanqi nodded; she was also curious, after all, she never knew that Ning Chen would actually know how to style hair.

As it turned out, Ning Chen not only knew how to style hair but did so exceptionally well.

Ning Chen's hands seemed to have a buff activated; the hair under his hands was exceptionally soft and silky.

He gently held the hair, turned his hand once, twisted the hairpin once, and styled the hair up; it could even be said to be extremely secure.

When Ning Chen's hand left Huang Meiji's hair, he casually hooked it, hooking a strand of hair behind Huang Meiji's ear.

The hair, not too long, reached exactly the position of the collarbone, making Gu Yanqi as a whole elegant with a touch of liveliness.

One could say this hairstyle suited Gu Yanqi perfectly; the hairpin was originally a very gorgeous existence, but since Gu Yanqi was already beautiful, the styled hair directly displayed her oval face shape, and her absolutely beautiful face actually suppressed the beauty of the hairpin.

It made the hairpin truly become Gu Yanqi's accessory.

Many people around drew in a sharp breath, and many were still praising Ning Chen's skill.

And that man resembling a scholar was completely stunned.

Lin Yi looked at the scholar somewhat speechlessly, then immediately stepped forward and stood in front of Gu Yanqi: "Hey, hey, hey, I'm talking to you; what are you looking at? Why haven't you opened your eyes yet!"

The scholar immediately reacted, then clasped his hands together, looked at Gu Yanqi, and said apologetically: "Miss, I apologize; it is simply that you are born too beautiful; I was a bit stunned looking at you. My name is Lady Gongsun Ze; I wish to get to know the Miss and make a friend."

Gu Yanqi twitched the corner of her mouth; she did not expect the other party to pursue so relentlessly; clearly, Lin Yi's attitude should have already proven everything.

Lin Yi blocked Gu Yanqi again, then said impatiently: "I'm talking to you; our sister Yanqi will not make friends with you; our sister Yanqi is already taken; stop saying these things here."

At this, Lady Gongsun Ze turned his gaze toward Ning Chen's direction; and as soon as he spoke, it was words resembling provocation, though spoken by him in a very smooth manner.

"This brother, since you can form a partnership with this Miss, you must have some talent; why not have a contest?"
