Under the bright moonlight, a shirtless red-haired man was swinging the heavy sword in his palm repeatedly, and his whole body was covered with crystal beads of sweat.
Because of standing for a long time, Xuan Yi's legs kept shaking at the moment, but he did not stop, and kept doing repeated movements, and kept chanting: "Ninety-nine thousand eight hundred and seventy-three, Ninety-nine thousand eight hundred and seventy-four..."
Danya walked slowly with a wine bottle hanging on his waist and his hands behind his back. When he stared at Xuan Yi's strong body and abdominal muscles, he couldn't help but said: "You have been practicing for so long, and you haven't practiced anything else." When I came out, I actually developed my figure.”
"Ninety-nine thousand nine hundred and three, ninety-nine thousand nine hundred and four..." Xuan Yi not only ignored him, he didn't even look at him, and still swung the heavy sword in his hand. .
Seeing that he didn't speak, Shan Ya took off the wine bottle from his waist, drank a few sips, and said, "Hey! Stop shaking your legs."
Xuan Yi sniffed the aroma of wine in the air. His mouth was dry and he licked his lips. His swiping movements gradually slowed down, but his trembling legs never stopped.
Shan Ya took a small bench and sat down, holding a wine bottle in his hand and drinking happily. Seeing that Xuan Yi's legs were shaking a bit, he immediately scolded him sternly: "I'm talking about you! Stop shaking your legs!"
"Ninety-nine thousand nine hundred and eighty..."
Shan Ya sat on the bench with his legs crossed. When he saw that he didn't reply, he immediately said angrily: "Huh? I told you to stop shaking your legs. You are deaf!"
"Ninety-nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine, one hundred thousand!"
There was a bang, and the ground shook violently. After Xuan Yi dropped the heavy sword, he pressed his hands on his knees, lowered his head and gasped for air.
After a long time, he turned to look at the cliff and said with difficulty: "I have been standing here for too long, and my legs are no longer under control."
Shan Ya looked at Xuan Yi who didn't dare to move, and said accusingly: "You are stupid, I didn't tell you not to stop and take a rest. You finished the swing on your own stupidly, who's to blame?"
Xuan Yi replied helplessly: "I don't blame you. I'm just going to report my situation to you."
"Oh! By the way! Today is the last day, right?"
After Shan Ya heard this, he moved the wine bottle from his mouth and said, "Don't worry, I asked the shop assistant to keep an eye on him outside. If the boy doesn't show up after midnight, it will prove that he I’m not qualified to take you away.”
When he saw Xuan Yi frowning, he smiled and said, "Of course, it depends on you whether you want to leave. If you insist on going with him, I can't stop you."
"After all, my legs are on you. I can't keep you locked up just to prevent you from running away. Xuan Yi, if you want to go with him, just go. I'll just pretend I didn't see you, hehe!"
When Xuan Yi looked at Shan Ya, whose eyes were wet but still forcing a smile and patting his legs, he sighed and said: "To be honest, I regret it a little now."
Shan Ya patiently enlightened: "Regret? What are you regretting? Nothing in life is perfect, and regret is useless. Don't put too much psychological burden on yourself. I respect your choice and will always support you."
"Actually, I saved you because of your character. Even if you were crawling on your knees in the snow, your hands and feet were cracked by the cold, and you were eating the cold and biting snowflakes, you would never ask for a bite of food from others, or even even Not even a glance."
"After all these years, you are still the same as before, with the same temper and backbone."
When Xuan heard this, he threw his head back and laughed. He said: "It's not that I have never begged others, but I have been rejected too many times, so I no longer want to stretch out my hands and look at people with that begging look. .”
"I have hands and feet. If I don't have anything to eat, I'm not living up to expectations. I deserve to be hungry. Why should I rely on others' charity to survive? What's the point of living like that? Just lingering?"
"I can't live that kind of life, and I never thought about it."
Shan Ya was silent for a long time and asked a question that he had wanted to ask since the first time he saw Xuan Yi: "I have never asked you where your family is in all these years. Are they okay?"
Xuan Yi paused for a long time and smiled bitterly: "My parents both starved to death when they were fleeing famine, when I was very young."
Shan Ya asked again: "Because of the war?"
He nodded and replied: "In wars, people always die. Today's peaceful world is hard-won. I want to use my own power to protect it and prevent war from happening."
"I don't want to see the scene of rivers of blood and piles of bones anymore."
Shan Ya then said: "I understand, is this why you like swords? Because the old sword god and others brought you peace, so you want to be like them?"
"Although saying this will make people laugh out loud, I have my own dream and my own goal, which is to surpass the Sword God."
"If possible, I would also like to fight side by side with the Sword God and experience the Sword God's grace up close."
"Of course, I know this is impossible, but I will try my best!" After saying that, Xuan Yi looked at the moonlight and laughed stupidly.

Outside the east gate of Liangcheng
Zi Yang looked at Zhu Feng standing outside the city wall and asked with a smile: "Are you really not going in?"
Zhufeng smiled, shook his head and said, "I'm not going, I'll wait for you outside."
Pei Yuan thought for a moment and said seriously: "Zhufeng, is it too dangerous for you to be here alone? It's safer to be with us."
Jia Juesheng nodded and reminded: "Yes, Zhufeng, Liangcheng is not peaceful right now. You are here alone. I'm worried that people from Sanwang Palace, Jiange Pavilion, and Daofu Mansion will attack you."
Xiao Hai and Hua Yao didn't say anything, but it could be seen from their facial expressions that they didn't want him to stay here alone.
Zhufeng said calmly: "It's okay, it's okay. Don't forget my identity. I will be careful. Don't worry."
Seeing that he was determined, Zi Yang didn't want to force him, so he said directly: "Okay! Take care of yourself. We will come to you as soon as possible after we find Xuan Yi."
Zhufeng looked at Ziyang and warned seriously: "You don't have to worry about me, it's you, Ziyang. The Divine Sword is a priceless treasure after all. It is something that many people dream of. You have to be more careful when entering Liangcheng." .”
Ziyang nodded heavily and said, "Don't worry, I will pay attention."
Zhufeng stood outside the city gate, looking at the figure gradually disappearing into the night, and raised his hand to wave.
————
In the darkness, a hand suddenly struck Ziyang's waist quickly, and then quickly withdrew it.
Zi Yang stared at the girl beside him who was smiling slightly, and said slightly confused: "What's wrong? Why did you hit me?"
Hua Yao said arrogantly: "What's wrong with touching you? You don't want others to touch you anymore?"
He blinked slightly, paused, and immediately said: "Huh? Touch me? The force of your punch just now was not light."
The girl spread her hands, rolled her eyes at him, and said softly: "If you think my punch just now was too hard, why don't you let me punch you back?"
Snapped!
After hearing the noise, Pei Yuan, Jia Juesheng, and Xiao Hai all turned their eyes to the back.
Jia Juesheng asked: "Zi Yang, Huayao, what's wrong with you?"
Ziyang hurriedly smiled and replied: "It's okay, it's okay, there are a few mosquitoes next to me."
With that said, he walked up to the girl and said gently: "Come on, why are you standing here stupidly?"
"You..." The girl rubbed her buttocks with her jade hands and glared at him viciously.
Ziyang pretended to be helpless and said: "What am I? You asked me to hit you, not what I wanted to hit myself."
When Hua Yao heard this, she immediately squatted on the ground and said, "You go, I won't leave."
After feeling the strange looks from around him, he kicked the girl's arm and reminded: "There are so many people watching, don't embarrass me here."
She raised her beautiful eyes, glanced at him coldly, and said, "Is it embarrassing for you? I don't know you, please leave quickly."
"Okay, I'm going, I'm going." Ziyang pretended to take a few steps, then turned around and picked her up, and quickly chased Jia Juesheng and others.
Huayao's pink fist gently hit his heart, and said coquettishly: "Big bad guy! Who asked you to hug me? Please let me go!"
Zi Yang said patiently: "Do you have to change your bad temper? You don't want to carry you away. It's not appropriate to leave you there alone."
"That is to say, I have a good temper and don't care about you. If it were anyone else, who would be able to stand you with your temper?"
"If you can't stand it, just..." She wanted to say that if you can't stand it, just get out, but when she saw Zi Yang frowning slightly, she said softly: "You have to endure it if you can't stand it."
"If my brother hadn't given me those pills, whether you would have been able to win the Divine Sword and walk out of the desert ruins alive is another question."
When Zi Yang heard this, he immediately said, "By the way, where is your brother? I want to see him."
Hua Yao's beautiful face changed slightly, her eyes were a little dodgey, and she said: "You'd better forget it, my brother is too strong and he doesn't look down on you."
He snorted coldly and said directly in front of Hua Yao: "The snobbery in the big family looks down on me, and I still look down on him."
"Really, what's so great about it is that it relies on the family's heritage. Without the family, it's nothing!"
Hua Yao hurriedly explained: "Don't say that. My brother is not relying on his family background. Everything he has now is achieved through his own hard work."
At this moment, Jia Juesheng, who was standing outside the Fighting God Building, shouted: "Hey, Ziyang, why did you two just come here now?"
"She accidentally fell down just now and can't walk." Zi Yang asked, "Have you made an agreement with them?"
Pei Yuan nodded and said: "We have agreed, let's go in."

The shop assistant hurriedly came to Shan Ya and said: "Boss, boss, you are back. All the sects who went to the Huangsha ruins are back."
Before Shan Ya could speak, Xuan Yi asked with a smile, "Have Ziyang and the others come back?"
Facing his question, the store clerk looked confused and said, "Who is Ziyang? I don't know him."
Xuan Yi didn't continue to ask, and said as he walked: "Forget it, forget it, I'd better go and see for myself."
The shop assistant pointed at Xuan Yi's retreating back and whispered: "Boss, look..."
"What are you looking at? Is there anything good to see? The child has grown up, and it's time for me to let go."
After saying that, he leaned back and drank the wine in the flask.
