"It's strange, Junior Sister Yurou didn't go to seclusion and she's not here, so where could she be?"
After knocking on the door several times, but getting no response, Lu Youyou could only retract her hand and prepare to leave first.
"Second Elder!" Suddenly, a female disciple's voice sounded from behind Lu Youyou.
"No courtesy." Lu Youyou nodded slightly, then pointed to the door behind her: "Has Elder Shi ever come back?"
"Back to the second elder, Elder Shi came back last night and left at dawn today." The female disciple said respectfully.
"Yeah." Lu Youyou responded, "Then do you know where she went?"
"I don't know, but Elder Shi probably went in that direction..." As he said that, the female disciple pointed in the distance.
…
On a mountain top, Shi Yurou was looking at Bo Yun in front of her with her hands behind her back in a daze. Then suddenly her body shook and her breath suddenly became sharp: "Who is it! Come out!"
"Junior sister, don't be nervous, it's me." The person coming was none other than Lu Youyou.
"Sorry, Second Elder..." After calming down, Shi Yurou looked apologetic.
The name was innocuous. Since Shi Yurou was willing to call her that, Lu Youyou didn't bother to correct him.
"Second Elder, how did you find me?" Shi Yurou asked the visitor, perhaps to ease the atmosphere, or perhaps out of curiosity.
"Xue Wen often came here before, so I think you must have been influenced by her." Lu Youyou said with a faint smile, "She has been standing here all day, and she doesn't know what is so strange about this scenery?"
Shi Yurou nodded lightly: "I asked my aunt, and she told me that the scenery here is similar to the south peak of the Jade Hu Sect."
"Really..." Lu Youyou was startled, her eyes suddenly became a little more complicated, and then she said softly: "I'm sorry...Junior sister, it was me who didn't keep her."
"Second Elder, you don't have to blame yourself. Auntie said that this was her own choice..." Shi Yurou's words also had a hint of bitterness, "Actually, auntie has already made up her mind to leave. It's just because of me that she stayed in Sword Star." Leave some time."
"Well, after so many years, I don't know how Xue Wen is doing now..." Lu Youyou sighed softly again after hearing this, and then asked: "Junior sister, how long has it been since you went home?"
"I... don't remember..." Shi Yurou frowned slightly, then shook his head.
"Brother has not given any orders during this period. How about you... go home and take a look now?" Lu Youyou stood next to Shi Yurou and looked at Bai Sha in the distance.
"Going back now will only waste time..." Shi Yurou bit her lip, her voice calm and steady.
Lu Youyou's eyes were filled with surprise, but she didn't say anything more. She just shook her head with a wry smile.
"Second Elder, do you know who was hiding behind Taiyi Pavilion yesterday?" Shi Yurou asked again as soon as the previous words subsided.
"It's the third prince, haven't you seen him?" Lu Youyou was a little surprised.
"I have met the Third Prince, but for some reason, the one from yesterday always makes people feel uncomfortable." When thinking of that sense of déjà vu, Shi Yurou felt that the water spirit beads on his body became restless, which made him upset. Confused.
"You mean...this third prince is fake?" Thinking of Qingjing being taken away by this third prince, Lu Youyou suddenly felt a little uneasy in her heart and could no longer stand still.
"That's not the case." Shi Yurou didn't notice that something was wrong in the atmosphere, and still thought to herself: "The third prince doesn't seem fake, but his aura is a bit weird..."
"Really?" Lu Youyou recalled carefully and guessed: "Junior sister, you suddenly left seclusion yesterday. Could it be because of the water spirit beads that affected you and gave you the illusion?"
"Is it really... an illusion?" Shi Yurou's eyes were a little confused, "Second Elder, I have obviously followed the master's method to perfectly integrate the sword technique with the water spirit bead's aura! But I don't know why, as long as I move the movement... The thought of sword skills and emotions will be out of control...I'm worried that if I continue like this, I will make a mistake sooner or later!"
"I don't know the specific reason, but according to my guess, it may be because your frosty fourteen states aura is too hard to
It's caused by matching the water spirit bead...I will ask my elder brother for clarification on this matter, so junior sister doesn't have to worry about it. ” Lu Youyou wrote it down.
"Thank you very much, Second Elder."
Glancing at Shi Yurou next to her, Lu Youyou couldn't help but complain: "Oh! If this guy Ah Fu had junior sister, you wouldn't be obedient at all, so you wouldn't make me work so hard!"
"The third elder is also thinking about Jianxingju, and I ask the second elder not to blame him." Shi Yurou consoled him, and then said doubtfully: "Second elder, yesterday I heard from my disciple that you had something to do and you had to leave for a few days. Since I have been released from seclusion, you You can leave with peace of mind."
"Ouch! Junior sister, if you didn't tell me, I almost forgot about this!" Lu Youyou stamped her feet, "The air here is cold and cold, junior sister, it's better to go back early. I have some important things to deal with, so I'll leave first. One step!"
…
"You're being naughty! This time the second sister is not here... Let me see how you can still be so arrogant... Bang bang bang!"
Lu Qingtan was lying in the room having a sweet dream, but was awakened by a banging on the door.
"Why are you knocking? You are not allowed to sleep!" Lu Qingtan ignored it and turned over with his head covered.
But the knocking on the door only stopped for a moment, and then came again like a violent storm.
"I want to see which blind guy dares to disturb my dream..." Lu Qingtan cursed as he put on his clothes and got up, but as soon as he opened it, he swallowed back the second half of his complaint.
"Second...Second sister...why are you here?"
"Why can't I come? Look how lazy you are now?" Lu Youyou hated the inability to make steel. "If I had known this, I should have left you underground. At least you could always practice hard when you had nothing to do. The sword is much stronger than it is now!"
"Second sister, calm down, second sister, calm down!" Lu Qingtan said with a smile: "Because I promised my disciples that I would personally teach swordsmanship, I was too busy last night..."
"Stop talking nonsense!" Lu Youyou interrupted Lu Qingtan, "Go wash your face and wake up. I have a few words to ask you."
After saying this, Lu Youyou turned around and sat down on a chair in the courtyard.
"Second sister, I wonder what it is that requires you to come here in person?" After washing up, Lu Qingtan nodded and bowed before coming to Lu Youyou.
"See for yourself!" Lu Youyou casually threw something on the table in front of her.
Looking closely, this thing is only about the size of a palm, and it looks like a book.
The so-called shuzi are two plywood as big as books, with holes for threading in the four corners, used to fix books in them.
But the plywood in front of me was different. There were no holes in it. It was just a thin wire wrapped around the four sides to form a cross. It was quite strong.
Lu Qingtan carefully untied the thread, and a yellowed page of paper fell on the table.
Seeing how meticulously Lu Youyou preserved this object, Lu Qingtan was also curious, but when he opened the yellow page, there were dense beads of sweat on his forehead.
This thing was a letter that he forged in imitation of his clean handwriting. No wonder he couldn't find it in Lu Youyou's room. It turned out that the latter had always carried this thing with him.
"You want to use this thing to send me away, Ah Fu, what do you think about this?" Lu Youyou said with a gloomy face.
"Second sister...I don't know, I don't know what this is..." Lu Qingtan was shaking all over, her teeth chattering whenever she spoke, and she was dazed.
"Do you want me to explain it to you?" Lu Youyou slammed the table, "Are you illiterate yourself? Stop pretending to be confused with me!"
"Second sister, I..." Being frightened by Lu Youyou, Lu Qingtan was about to kneel down and admit her mistake.
"I don't blame you if you can't see it. This is a forged letter, trying to trick me out of here!" Lu Youyou was talking, but when she saw Lu Qingtan's sad face, she also frowned, "Ah Fu, what are you doing? Did you listen to me?"
Hearing this, Lu Qingtan felt as if she had been granted amnesty, and sat down opposite Lu Youyou: "Yes! The second sister is right! This is indeed a forged letter! I want to trick you out of here!"
"Have you guessed it?" Lu Youyou was a little surprised.
"Ah? Isn't this what you told me, second sister?" Lu Qingtan said with an awkward smile.
Lu Youyou looked depressed: "It was the biggest mistake for me to come to you for discussion! Bring it!"
Seeing Lu Youyou getting angry again, Lu Qingtan hurriedly calmed her down: "Second sister, calm down, calm down! I was joking with you!"
After hurriedly laughing a few times, Lu Qingtan pretended to look at the letter paper in his hand that was damp with sweat.
"Second sister, this is obviously the handwriting of that person, why do you say it is a forgery?" Lu Qingtan had already had this doubt in his mind, so he took the opportunity to ask.
"Sigh..." Although it was a bit embarrassing, when she thought that Lu Qingtan was not an outsider after all, Lu Youyou could only say with a straight face: "To be honest with Ah Fu, even now I can't tell the difference between this handwriting and Elder Qingjing's... "
"In that case, second sister, why did you come back halfway?" Lu Qingtan looked puzzled.
"The reason why I came back is because I met someone on the road..."
I heard from Lu Youyou that she was on her way that day, but she was suddenly stopped on the road, telling her that the letter was fake and asking her to return to Jianxing Residence quickly.
Lu Youyou was originally curious about how this person knew about Xin. But this man appeared strangely and left suddenly. Before he could ask a question, he had already disappeared.
If this person explained a few more words, Lu Youyou might not be able to believe it, but just this irrelevant words made Lu Youyou feel more and more wrong the more he thought about it, so he could only go back the way he came, and what happened next Of course there is no need to say more.
"Second sister, who is this person?" Lu Qingtan frowned, wondering which blind guy dared to ruin his good deeds!
"That man covered his face, probably because he didn't want to be seen." Lu Youyou recalled for a moment and nodded.
"It's really strange. I clearly didn't tell anyone about the letter..." Lu Qingtan murmured.
"Afu? What did you say?" Lu Youyou didn't hear clearly.
"Ahem...Second sister, I'm saying that it's absolutely impossible for anyone else to know about this letter except you. I'm just curious about who this person is?" Lu Qingtan hurriedly explained.
"I don't know, but after all, he helped me a lot this time, so he probably didn't mean any harm..." As he said that, Lu Youyou suddenly pinched Lu Qingtan's ears, "What a good boy! Fortunately, I came in time! You Did you want to kill Taoist Master Qingjing yesterday?"
"Ouch! Second sister, even if I have the heart, I don't have the courage!" Lu Qingtan looked innocent.
"What? I'm still defending you in front of Elder Qingjing! You really have no good intentions! Do you still remember what the elder brother gave you before?" Lu Youyou scolded.
"Misunderstanding! It's really a misunderstanding! Second sister, please let go first and listen to my explanation... Ouch!"
