No one expected that the two people who had crossed paths several times by chance would finally exchange their real names and identities on such an inappropriate occasion.
Ningxia was also quite surprised. She had thought that the other party was some kind of down-and-out nobleman who was on the run because his family was in trouble and wanted to escape being hunted down... The backer of the lover's family had not fallen at all.
She carefully observed that he didn't have any strange emotions when he talked about the sect, such as nostalgia, resentment, longing... none of them. His mood was calm and normal, more like he was talking about ordinary things, and he didn't seem to have any contradictions.
Then why are you still living outside and being hunted by so many people? Isn’t it possible to just go back to the sect to save your life? Ningxia couldn't figure it out.
But every family has its own sutras that are difficult to recite. These are the most common household chores in Ningxia that are difficult to describe. These are often hidden under the brilliance that outsiders can see. Only the person who is truly in it knows how difficult his road is.
Ningxia itself is also in difficulty, getting harder every time. The continuous promotions in cultivation and the continuous accumulation of resources did not seem to bring further stability to her life. Instead, she fell into a deeper swamp, unable to escape and unable to resist.
But she is also lucky. The sect masters and the noble people she met in her cultivation life can always bring her new hope and prevent her from wallowing in the bottom and despair. Inadvertently, Ningxia has walked through high slopes one after another and climbed through troughs again and again.
Ningxia is lonely, but it never feels like it is alone.
She fears fate, but also enjoys life. He is not afraid of risking his life, but he also cherishes his second life very much. She always remembers where she came from, but she also lives a life of flesh and blood, and never forgets to fight for her better life in another world. She never felt that life was painful.
Where is Gu Huai?
After meeting him several times and in a short period of time, Ningxia always felt nothing but gloom and hopelessness from this young man, as well as a sense of desolation that came from his bones.
The first time he met Ning Xia was not with his true face, but Ning Xia still remembered him, remembering his special eyes before remembering his real appearance.
But those eyes that were as bright as stars were actually never that bright. Instead, they seemed to be covered with a thick layer of gloom, showing a hint of melancholy.
This is a person who is full of darkness. His life has long been without light, and it seems that all that is left in life is survival.
It seems that every time I see the other person, he is either running away or on the way to escape. Every time, he is covered with wind and rain, exhausted and scarred. Even at such a young age, he is already full of old age, which makes people uncomfortable to look at.
Compared to him, Ningxia couldn't even say that she was in difficulty.
If he really had a choice, Daoist Gu would not choose such a difficult and bumpy road.
But I guess the other party doesn't need sympathy. Because it is one thing to live in discomfort, but it is another thing to want to live.
The other party has climbed through this mountain of swords and sea of fire, survived these days and nights, and must climb out of hell. He should have something he wants to do. With such a firm goal, people do not need sympathy from others.
She'd better put away her indifferent speculation, it was meaningless.
Ning Xia put away her questions and turned to other innocuous topics.
Seeing that the other party didn't ask further questions, Gu Huai didn't know whether to feel relieved or to feel complicated. After all, there was actually nothing to say... There was nothing to say about the things that had been lingering around him like a nightmare.
He just wants to live now.

Gu Huai said that he took this road when he came from the southeastern border.
Although the southeastern border is still a well-known forbidden area in China, the guard organization is very strict on entry and exit. Once someone is discovered escaping from the southeastern border, they will be arrested, and once they are found to have intentionally escaped the "cage", they will be dealt with severely.
Regarding the real local monks in the southeastern border, many wealthy families in the Middle-earth sects have always been secretive and indescribably afraid. Everyone knows what attitude these newbies have towards the sect that once stood at the top of the continent and ruled over their ancestors.
When princes steal the country, they should be eradicated. How can they sleep peacefully without exterminating the king's bloodline?
However, for some unknown reason, they failed to get rid of the rest in the end. They only drew a circle and sealed those people and the ruins within a small area. This created the southeastern border, which is today's forbidden area.
Ordinarily, entering and leaving the forbidden area are not allowed, which means that monks from the Middle Earth are not allowed to enter the southeastern border. If caught, they will also be dealt with severely.
But although this is the rule, for monks in Middle-earth, this rule is not so strict. Perhaps it is also because with the passage of time, the various sects in China are no longer so afraid of this forbidden place and the existence that the forbidden place once represented.
Therefore, in recent years, many brave children of aristocratic families have violated the ban and entered the southeastern border to practice, or as they put it, "hunting".
In particular, the disciples of the Demonic Way treated the southeastern border as an amusement park. For a period of time, the southeastern border was turned upside down. If a garrisoned family hadn't found out and reported it, I don't know what would have happened.
In short, in recent years, there have been repeated incidents of Middle-earth monks entering the southeastern border. If it is not excessive, people from various sects have turned a blind eye. After all, not everyone can enter the southeastern border. The passages to break the restrictions are controlled by major sects, and small sects and small sects have no way to enter.
In fact, it's just a game played by the wealthy disciples in a different way.
Xuantian Sword Sect naturally has a stable entrance, and the Gu family also has one, but neither Gu Huai wants to use it.
Although his grandfather treated him well, he had no interest in worldly affairs and withdrew from the circle of power early to concentrate on his cultivation. Grandfather didn't know that the people under him, who were also his blood relatives of Gu Huai, wanted him to die.
Grandfather couldn't save him or help him. This is something Gu Huai has known for a long time. He didn't want to embarrass Lord Lingxu, so he left early.
But the young Gu Huai never expected that those people hated him so much. They wanted to tear him to pieces and leave his body intact, so they sent waves of people who wanted to kill him.
It made Gu Huai want to laugh. He didn't even know his life was so valuable.
It was obvious that he wouldn't live long. As long as he waits for another three or two years, he might die. Why is he not willing to wait even these few years?
This made him rebellious, unwilling to follow their wishes, and even more desperate to live.
He wants to live, and if possible, he must live a glorious life, so that those evil-hearted people can see what stupid things they have done. Only in this way can he be happy and at ease.
