In Gaozhuxian Town at the end of summer, the heat is not over yet.
Someone had returned from outside the city and was walking slowly on the street. Hua Chenyu was riding on a horse, calmly watching his brother go from house to house asking the inn clerk.
After returning from the wasteland, the group of people chose to go to Zhuxian Town first instead of looking for Li Xiuyuan in Longmen Pass.
Jun said nothing and didn't care. Seeing that he had returned to Qizhen, what he wanted to do was to quickly find an inn to wash away the dust from his body, and then sleep in death for a few days without thinking about it.
It's best to find Li Xiuyuan so that he can have a drink as much as he wants.
Naturally, the group of people got caught in the drizzle of spring breeze at the end of summer. Except for the woman who carefully prepared an oil-paper umbrella, all the men were caught in the rain.
The departure of the demon gave them time to go on their own adventures and get what they wanted.
Although he was caught in the rain, there was no look of complaint on his face, because everyone knew that returning home from this trip would profoundly change everything around him, including his family.
After asking countless inns, Hua Tianyu was a little disappointed. Only Jun followed him without any complaints and asked the inn clerk over and over again.
"This is the last house ahead. If that guy is not here, we will rest here for a while!"
Hua Tianyu raised his hand a little tiredly and looked at the last inn in front of him. It was really hard to run around for days.
Holding the wildebeest, he approached the inn and looked at the inn's sign from a distance in silence for a long time.
Jun Buyu walked to his side and looked at the door number of the inn.
Hua Shenhuang behind him said quietly: "Taiping Inn, interesting."
Jun Buyu shook his head and said, "Do you think that once the demon army evacuates, the world will be at peace?"
Everyone's eyes seemed to be covered with black cloth for an instant, and they returned to the scene of the confrontation on the battlefield, seeing the moment of the storm, the moment of blood and killing.
Hua Tianyu was silent for a long time and said: "What else can we do? Fortunately, we are all back alive."
Jun Buyu nodded and smiled: "I wonder if that guy is thinking about one of us and is drunk on the battlefield and can't come back?"
Hua Chenyu behind him said: "Brother Jun, how can you say such a thing at this time?"
Not to mention the battle a few years ago, it was the last battle last winter. Even now, everyone is still in panic. The demon army has left a deep mark on the hearts of many monks.
They need to slowly digest and erase it in the long years to come.
From that day on, Hua Chenyu tried to become stronger because she knew that she could not stand behind her brother all her life.
The signboard of the inn, which was soaked by the slanting rain, seemed a bit inconsistent in everyone's eyes. Could it be that without the demon, the world would really be peaceful?
"The capital has no clues, but it's just a gentle breeze and drizzle that brought you here!"
Just when a group of people were looking at the Taiping Inn in a daze, wondering whether they should go in and stay for a night, Li Xiuyuan's tepid voice came from behind.
"Who are you? Have we seen a ghost?"
Hua Tianyu turned his head and looked at Li Xiuyuan, who was holding an oil-paper umbrella in his hand and dressed in black but still looked like a twelve-year-old boy. He let out a sigh that he had not spoken for a long time.
"Oh my God, why have you changed back again?"
Hua Chenyu turned around regardless, hugged the young man behind him, and then giggled wildly.
"Did you look like this and charge into the demon army and scare them away?"
Jun Buyu sighed and laughed loudly: "Oh my god, it's really unfair. We shed blood on the battlefield, but you returned to the little handyman in the academy in the blink of an eye."
Li Xiuyuan took a breath, looked at the three of them and said calmly: "Are you going to camp outside the inn? Or are you going to come in with me for a drink?"
After saying that, he gently broke away from Hua Chenyu's arms and said with a smile: "Sister Hua is getting more and more powerful. She is already a great monk in the middle stage of Dongtian."
After saying that, he took her hand and walked into the inn, ignoring Hua Tianyu and others who were in a daze.
"I said, you should wait for me!" Hua Tianyu shouted.
"Everyone go in, we will live here!" Jun Buyu looked at the group of monks behind him and said calmly.
He didn't expect that this guy was actually hiding in the inn in the corner of Zhuxian Town. He was really nowhere to be found. No wonder there was no news about him before.
Hua Chenyu looked at Li Xiuyuan and sighed: "We haven't seen each other for a few years. What happened to you? Why did you change back?"
Li Xiuyuan didn't say anything, but took her hand and walked towards the small courtyard behind the inn.
Pushing open the courtyard door, the sound of Long Hongchen practicing his sword in surprise could be heard in the small courtyard. To Hua Chenyu's ears, it sounded like someone was fighting inside.
Seeing Li Xiuyuan push the door open, Long Hongchen shouted: "Brother, I finished copying the book and practiced sword practice for an hour... If you don't come back, Long Hongchen will starve to death."
"Won't you go to the inn to find something to eat with the waiter? It's not like you don't have any money..."
Li Xiuyuan was too lazy to pay attention to him, looked at Hua Chenyu and said with a smile: "This is my brother Long Hongchen, come here to call Sister Hua."
After sheathing his sword, Long Hongchen jumped over, looked at Li Xiuyuan and said nervously: "Long Hongchen has another sister?"
Hua Chenyu looked at this dusty little guy and chuckled, "Why, aren't you willing?"
Li Xiuyuan shook his head, walked into the living room, lit a fire and boiled water, and said, "Brother, please call the waiter in the store. We have guests today, so we need to prepare a few more dishes."
Long Hongchen was so dazzled by Hua Chenyu's beautiful appearance that he shouted, "Brother, I'm going right now. Will Long Hongchen have five sisters in the future?"
Before they finished speaking, the person had disappeared in front of the two of them.
Hua Chenyu sighed, looked at Li Xiuyuan and asked, "Where did you kidnap a little brother? Where did this child come from on the Shura battlefield?"
Li Xiuyuan shook his head and said softly: "Don't ask about his life experience, just know that he has already filed a record at the City Lord's Mansion. His parents have died on the Shura battlefield."
Upon hearing this, Hua Chenyu couldn't help but remain silent for a moment, and then asked, "What state are you in now?"
Li Xiuyuan shook his head and said with a smile: "It's almost the same as you."
Inside the inn, the waiter suddenly welcomed a large group of monks and they were very busy. Hua Tianyu settled the monks in the Demon Realm and took Jun Buyu's hand towards the backyard.
"I don't know what happened to you in these years. I guess it must be a miracle."
In the living room, Hua Chenyu looked at Li Xiuyuan who was boiling water and making tea, and said with a trembling voice: "Why didn't you see the princess of Taoyuan? And where are Xiaoqing and Xiaolonger?"
...
By the time Hua Tianyu took Jun Buyu and sat down in the living room, Li Xiuyuan had already cooked a spiritual tea.
Silently dividing the tea into cups, he looked at the three people in front of him and said quietly: "In the blink of an eye, eight years have passed and I see that you are all still alive. I like it very much!"
When Hua Chenyu heard this, he couldn't help but shed tears. He looked at him and said angrily, "Did you lose Xiao Qing and Xiao Long'er? Do you know how many of us died?"
Li Xiuyuan looked at her and sighed, and said quietly: "This is the Shura battlefield, not the demon realm... Xiao Long'er and the others went to play..."
Hua Tianyu thought for a while, took a silk scarf and handed it to his sister. He looked at Li Xiuyuan and smiled bitterly: "You have endured hardships in recent years, right? How are Xiaoqing and the others' cultivation now?"
Jun Buyu screamed strangely: "I said, why can't I understand you? Don't tell me that you have broken through, right?"
Li Xiuyuan was stunned, looked at him and laughed: "How is that possible? I'm just a little taller than you. Xiaoqing and the others seem to be a little taller than you too. After all, I haven't seen them for half a year."
Just here, Long Hongchen came in from the outside, looked at Li Xiuyuan and asked, "Brother, where did these two guys get in from?"
Jun Buyu couldn't help laughing when he heard the word "brother": "Where did you go to trick a child back?"
Hua Chenyu waved and pulled Long Hongchen to sit down next to her, and asked, "Have you ordered any food? My sister is about to starve to death."
Unexpectedly, Long Hongchen extended his hand to him: "Brother said that sister wants to give Long Hongchen her baby."
This was not something Li Xiuyuan taught him, but Xiao Longer taught her when he followed Li Xiuyuan back to the temple. For this reason, Xiao Longer gave him some snacks that he was reluctant to eat.
Xiaoqing and Nangong Ruyu also gave him a lot of snacks, making him feel the warmth of home again.
After that, he remembered this truth. If you have a sister, you will have food.
When Hua Chenyu heard this, he couldn't help but look at Li Xiuyuan and asked, "Did you teach him this?"
"This is what his sisters taught him. If you have any snacks, take them out quickly. If you don't accompany him to buy them in the afternoon, this guy will be spoiled by Xiao Long'er and the others."
Li Xiuyuan shook his head and looked at Hua Tianyu without saying anything. He just took a jar of apricot flower wine and put it on the table, and said calmly: "Drink three courses of this tea first, and then drink again later."
At this time, Jun Buyu, who had drank half a cup of spiritual tea, was already deep in thought, staring blankly at the spiritual tea in the cup without saying a word.
After a while, he drank it all in one gulp, then put the cup on the table and said, "One more cup!"
Hua Tianyu was stunned when he looked at him, and quickly picked up the cup in front of him and took a sip. After just one sip, he was stunned and speechless.
Hua Chenyu sighed and said quietly: "Have you never given these two guys this tea? Look at how stupid they are..."
After saying that, he picked it up and took a sip. Half the cup went into his mouth, and he was stunned and speechless.
Long Potian looked at Li Xiuyuan and chuckled: "Brother, are my sister and these two brothers stupid?"
Li Xiuyuan looked at him and smiled: "They are poisoned. Drink yours quickly. The guys will bring food in later."
He was also secretly surprised. He had invited Hua Tianyu and his sister to drink Lingcha before, and even Jun Buyu had drank it at Luoxia Mountain. He didn't expect that he would react after drinking it today.
Is it possible that the spiritual tea the old man gave him was better than the previous one?
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but look at Long Hongchen. However, Long Hongchen was so nervous that he drank it down innocently. Where could he feel any sense of enlightenment?
After much deliberation, he could only attribute it to Long Hongchen or Tianyi becoming one, and there was no such thing as an epiphany.
Even the epiphany will have to wait until he grows up.
Thinking of this, he silently poured some spiritual tea for the three of them, and said with a smile: "I didn't expect that the spiritual tea I just got today... is really an advantage for you."
Ignoring Long Hongchen, Li Xiuyuan took out the items he had just exchanged, counted them, took twenty items and held them in his hand.
Although he has issues with some elders in the Demon Realm, the guy in front of him is his brother, and his palms and backs are full of flesh. He is really taking advantage of you two.
On the way back from the City Lord's Mansion, he was thinking that no matter whether it was Huangfu Qingmei in the wild or a group of friends in Shura Heaven, each place would only be given ten copies at most.
He won't even take out one more. After all, if he doesn't have the strength, even if he takes the road to heaven, it will be a dead end.
What's more, in his opinion, he doesn't owe anyone a favor.
Even the dean of the academy, when he took out the jar of medicinal wine, had already repaid the life-saving grace he had given him.
