Autumn is coming again.
After leaving the Shura battlefield in the spring and spending some days in the wild Ding'an City, Rushi and Ruhua finally returned to Wangtian City.
The business at the Four Seasons Building is still as lively as before. On the crisp days of autumn, there are more customers than in summer.
For some reason, last fall Shangguan Yanhong felt that the trees and flowers in the garden were monotonous, so she dug up all the trees and flowers beside the bridge and the water.
Several plum trees were planted and some seasonal flowers were transplanted, except for the osmanthus tree behind the stone table.
It is said that in the golden autumn season, it can be dried in the shade to make osmanthus tea.
It's almost the Mid-Autumn Festival, and the garden outside the building is full of fruit trees, golden chrysanthemums are in full bloom, and even the osmanthus trees by the Xiaoqiao River have small flower buds popping out.
Waiting for a sunshine, after a burst of autumn rain, bloom quietly.
It was past noon, and some of the sleepy guests and girls in the building had gone back to their rooms to rest. Only those who were in good spirits were still sitting at the table by the window in the building, looking at the garden in a daze.
There is no other reason, just because a bald boy came down from the osmanthus tree under the small bridge in the garden.
There were more than a dozen bowls on the stone table in front of the boy, all of which were the most expensive iced plum juice in the building.
You must know that in Wangtian City, the most expensive thing sold in summer and autumn is the iced stuff.
You must know that storing a large piece of ice from winter to autumn is not an easy task.
Therefore, the iced plum juice at Four Seasons Tower is notoriously expensive.
Most customers only occasionally order a bowl for the girl they like.
Unexpectedly, the young man in the garden kept eating in one breath, and soon the bowl in front of him turned into a hill.
Not only that, what made the girls feel incredible was that there was a crow clearly standing on the table.
The crow, like the boy, lowered his head and looked hard at the plum juice in the bowl. The two guys were clearly competing to see who could eat faster and more.
Looking in the eyes of the girls, they couldn't help but remind them of the boy back then.
The young man who made the two picturesque sisters miss each other, the young man who played the piano downstairs and amazed the host.
If it weren't for the huge age difference between the two, the girl in the building would have rushed out long ago.
"Go, call Ruhua and find out who this guy is? He spends money like water. Whose son is this?"
"That's right, sister, look at that crow, it's so cute, is it shaking its head like a human?"
"I can't stand it anymore. I have to buy that crow and keep it!"
The girls in the building were all shouting, wondering where this strange boy came from and how they could buy the crow on the table back.
Li Xiuyuan slowly closed his eyes after drinking some sour plum juice.
He rubbed his belly and said, "Xiao Hei, the girls in the building want to keep you. Do you want to stay here?"
Dressed in white clothes, Sheng Xue, with a bald head and skin that could be broken by a blow, it was natural that they were Li Xiuyuan and Xiao Hei who had returned from the Shenlong Continent.
As they ascended, Li Xiuyuan and Xiao Hei were plotted against by the great elder, and both of them were secretly injured.
Li Xiuyuan was fine, the injury was on his meridians and could not be seen.
Xiao Hei simply couldn't transform into a human being, which made him very distressed.
Seeing the twelve-year-old Li Xiuyuan back after the tribulation, Xiao Hei couldn't help but say with a bitter face: "Xiao Hei is following his brother and not going anywhere."
Li Xiuyuan smiled and said: "It doesn't matter if you can't transform, I still have some places to go and some people to meet..."
The implication is that if you bring a younger brother who is two years older than yourself at this time, it would be unjustifiable.
It would be really annoying to have to patiently explain it to everyone.
Xiao Hei also knew that this matter could not be rushed. Fortunately, he had not lost any of his abilities, which was good news for him.
But Li Xiuyuan couldn't figure it out. He and Xiao Hei actually returned directly from Shenlong Valley to Wolong Mountain outside Ding'an City. Looking at the empty mountain and hearing the birds singing, Xiao Hei was even more excited than Li Xiuyuan. This was the place where he regained his life.
This is where Li Xiuyuan met his master Long Qingfeng.
The two brothers stayed in Wolong Mountain for a few days, originally thinking of going to Ding'an City to see Huangfu Qingmei.
But Li Xiuyuan remembered the agreement he made with Guan Yanhong, and thought that he would have to go to the Great Wall in the end.
So, it was Xiao Hei who came to Wangtian City first. There was not only Shangguan Yanhong in the Four Seasons Tower, but also Rushi and Ruhua. He also had to come here to fulfill his wish.
"This place is nice, Xiao Hei likes it here."
Xiao Hei and Li Xiuyuan ate a lot of barbecue in Wolong Mountain these days. After drinking this sour plum juice, they realized that this is the delicacy of the world.
No monster meat is as refreshing and satisfying as the bowl of sour plum juice in front of you.
Li Xiuyuan smiled and said: "Do you know that what you drank was Lingshi? If the master knew, he would definitely scold us two for being wasteful."
Xiao Hei was stunned, looked at him and asked: "How much does this... cost per bowl?"
Li Xiuyuan shook his head. Speaking of Lingshi, he naturally thought of Mu Mu and Xiao Qing who had left.
On the Shura battlefield, these two guys gave all the spiritual stones to themselves.
Thinking of this, I thought that the two Xiaoqings met in the Phoenix Valley. I wonder if they were sisters who were lost back then.
"The spiritual stones here are different from those used in Shenlong Valley. I will tell you this slowly. The spiritual stones in your hand cannot be spent here."
Li Xiuyuan thought for a while and thought that he still had to take the time to tell this idiot about the spirit stone.
In the autumn afternoon, a gentle breeze blew by, carrying a faint floral fragrance, and the fragrance of the unbloomed buds on the osmanthus trees also emitted.
Li Xiuyuan leaned on the chair and sighed softly.
He said quietly: "I have been fighting and killing all the way. Only when I come back here can I feel at ease and find the smell of fireworks in the world."
"Since you like it here, don't leave!"
Before Xiao Hei could recover, another gust of fragrant wind blew by, and it was Shangguan Yanhong in a red dress who rolled up in front of the two of them like a whirlwind.
Without waiting for Li Xiuyuan to invite him, he sat in front of him.
Li Xiuyuan was stunned, looked at her and sighed softly: "Lord, shouldn't you be resting in the room at this time?"
Shangguan Yanhong was stunned for a moment, then giggled.
He waved his hand and said: "Don't talk nonsense, why are you getting younger and younger as you live? Ru Shi said you have ascended, haven't you? How can you come back? This crow is good, give it to me..."
Xiao Hei was startled and shouted: "Xiao Hei is a human, I can't give it to you!"
"Are you a human or a ghost?" The crow on the table in front of her could also speak, and Shangguan Yanhong was also startled by him.
Li Xiuyuan glanced at the two of them and felt dizzy for a moment: "He is my brother Xiaohei. Let's talk about this later. Prepare a room for me. I can drink wine after I'm done sleeping."
Upon hearing this, Shangguan Yanhong patted her chest and said, "Is he really your brother?"
Li Xiuyuan smiled lightly and said, "Of course, we have the same master... Where are Rushi and Ruhua? I've been here for almost an hour, and I haven't seen them either."
Shangguan Yanhong sighed and said, "You came at the wrong time. They both went to Ding'an City early this morning to buy wine from your store."
Li Xiuyuan was stunned, thinking, didn't he teach the two girls how to make wine last time?
He couldn't live without a jar of wine wherever he went, which really gave him a headache, and he decided not to stay here until spring this time.
Who knows what season it is to return to Shura Heaven?
Now that he has left the Shenlong Continent, his only thought now is to go to Fengyun City in the Five Domains.
Xiao Hei drank a lot of sour plum juice, and the weather was hot, so he simply lay down on the table, closed his eyes, and dreamed.
Li Xiuyuan thought for a moment, looked at Shangguan Yanhong and asked, "How long have Ru Shi and the others been back?"
Since Shura Heaven Realm left the sky, they crossed two different star realms, and the old Taoist priest didn't tell him how much the flow rate of time differed between them.
Thinking that I still have to go back to the Five Realms to become mortal, and I still have to walk on the road to heaven. I wonder how much time is left?
Shangguan Yanhong was stunned. She didn't expect Li Xiuyuan to ask this question.
Then he laughed and said: "Rushi came back near the end of spring, and it was less than half a year since he left the training battlefield."
"That's good!"
Li Xiuyuan breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that when he returned to the back city of the Five Realms, Nalan Yu and Hua Tianxia were only in their early forties, which was a good age.
There is still time for everything.
Looking at Li Xiuyuan's dazed look, Shangguan Yanhong suddenly said: "Where have you gone back now? Why did you suddenly ascend from the Shura battlefield... There is still something wrong with you."
Shangguan Yanhong looked at it again and again, and couldn't help but reach out and hold Li Xiuyuan's little hand.
It was at this moment that the girls in the building finally froze. Although they did not hear the conversation between the two clearly from a distance.
But you also guessed who the young man in front of you was from the poster's actions?
For decades, the original poster looked down upon no one but the boy who amazed everyone with his song.
With that being said, that guy is naturally the one in front of him.
However, even though this guy looks familiar...could he really be rejuvenated?
"Rushi and Ruhua have gone to Ding'an City. If you have anything to say, please ask the landlord directly." The girl in the building couldn't find the two sisters, so she came back and shouted.
In the garden, Shangguan Yanhong gently put down Li Xiuyuan's hand and frowned tightly.
He looked at Li Xiuyuan and asked: "Have you encountered trouble this time? You have lost all your cultivation and become a mortal?"
Li Xiuyuan smiled lightly and said quietly: "When I came back from this trip, I wanted to become a mortal."
Looking at Shangguan Yanhong in front of him, Li Xiuyuan suddenly thought of his master Nalan Ruoyu.
Although the cultivation level of the two people is very different, their temperaments are very similar. They are both as aloof and arrogant as the cold plums in the snow on Meishan Mountain, people who do not bow to the world.
In his opinion, as long as he is willing, as long as Shangguan Yanhong is willing, he doesn't mind helping her break through to a higher realm.
Ascension is actually just a matter of thought.
Shangguan Yanhong was taken aback, stretched out her hand to touch his forehead, and asked, "I said, are you not crazy?"
In her opinion, who among the monks in the world doesn't want to work hard to practice, break through the realm, and then look forward to one day ascending and leaving the wild world? How can anyone think about turning themselves into mortals?
But the guy in front of her told her that the reason for coming back here was to turn herself into a mortal.
Seeing Shangguan Yanhong's confused look, Li Xiuyuan could only smile bitterly and said: "It's a long story."
Shangguan Yanhong couldn't help laughing when she heard it, and said angrily: "Go on, it's okay, I'll listen."
Li Xiuyuan smiled slightly and said: "I came all the way here. Before I entered Ding'an City, I came to the Four Seasons Tower first. You are not so anxious, are you?"
"You can choose between drinking or listening to stories, but you have to wait for me to wash up and get a good sleep."
Shangguan Yanhong was slightly startled, and found that she did seem a little anxious and angry today, which was very different from her calm mood in the past.
I could only wave my sleeves and said with a smile: "Then go wash up and rest quickly. I will prepare the food and call you later."
Unexpectedly, Li Xiuyuan shook his head slightly and said with a smile: "Look, I don't have to change my clothes anymore, can you?"
What Li Xiuyuan wanted to say was that the clothes he bought from Feng Ruyu in Tianyu City fit well, but it was a pity that they were all imprisoned in the jade plate by the old Taoist priest.
The clothes he was wearing now felt awkward no matter how he looked.
Shangguan Yanhong was stunned for a moment, then looked at it carefully, and then chuckled: "I'll take care of this, don't worry."
