The bamboo arrows pierced the thick night fog, pierced the darkness of the fire domain, and also pierced the poisonous flames that Qin Tianyan came from the Netherworld Valley.
It wasn't until he saw Qin Tianyan unleashing poisonous flames that Li Xiuyuan had no choice but to shoot the air-piercing arrow.
In an instant, he extinguished the blue flame and killed countless fire snakes in front of Xun'er and others.
After all, he also hates these gadgets. One of them will not kill you, but hundreds or even thousands will make your scalp numb. If you are not careful, you will fall under the dense snake mouths.
Seeing Qin Tianyan scared away by his own arrow, he did not pursue him and let this guy go for the time being.
Just listening to the quiet sigh coming from the dark night, he couldn't help but shake his head. He really wanted to row the boat over to meet Xun'er and ask where You Ruo had gone.
However, he didn't know how to face his old friend.
It wasn't until he saw Xun'er getting up and leaving the fire, dragging Shangguan Wu forward all the way to the Youhe River, that he had no choice but to change his mind again.
Think about it, what if we meet each other with my appearance like this? Is it possible that a blind man can still fall into the eyes of the proud daughter of Tianxiang Academy?
...
"Pfft..." a sound sounded.
Xun'er looked at Youhe in front of her and was speechless for a long time. She took Shangguan Wushuang's hand and said, "Sister, please don't..."
"Why?" Shangguan Wushuang frowned.
Xun'er pointed to the branches drowned in the deep river and said, "The branches can't even float in this river. I'm afraid it's dangerous."
Shangguan Wushuang then looked at the dead trees disappearing into the river and sighed: "I never expected that there is such a place in the Fire Domain."
Xun'er nodded and replied: "Senior sister, don't forget that the ancestors of the academy lived in the Fire Realm back then and only left after what happened."
"Ah...I almost forgot about it."
Shangguan Wushuang looked at the Youhe River in front of him, shrouded in thick night fog, and replied with a light eyebrow: "Who can live in such a place?"
Xun'er was startled, looked forward and said, "Is it because Junior Sister Youruo is here that you came to see me?"
Before she could finish her words, the water of the Youhe River suddenly rippled.
There was no wind, and a small boat cut through the night fog like a ghost, gradually appearing in front of the two women.
"Gosh......"
Xun'er said nothing, but immediately covered her mouth.
Shangguan Wushuang stared blankly ahead, as speechless as Xun'er, and didn't even have the strength to scream.
The water in front of them was dull, and the boat suddenly stopped in front of the two girls. The night fog gradually disappeared, and the young man's figure appeared, standing quietly on the bow.
There was no oar in the boat, but it stopped in front of the two women. A cold moonlight in the night sky quietly illuminated the young man.
Wearing a black shirt, his face was covered with a black cloth.
The whistling wind blew, accompanied by the faint moonlight.
The young man looked at the two women quietly, like friends reunited after a long absence.
Only a black shirt was fluttering gently in the night wind.
Slowly, slowly moving forward, the boat finally stopped in front of Xun'er, revealing half of her face under the moonlight.
Somehow, Shangguan Wushuang wanted to reach out and gently lift off the black cloth on the young man's face.
Even in the past many years, she was still the most beautiful woman in Tianxiang Academy. The past years had not eroded her appearance, but she did not expect that the young man in front of her still made her suffocated.
His hand reached into the air, but he gently took it back.
Her lips parted, but she couldn't utter a word. It was so close, but like a chasm, she couldn't take a step forward no matter what.
In an instant, an inexplicable feeling of sadness came from deep in my heart.
Just one glance reminded her of that snowy day, when she stood guard at the door of the General's Mansion and tangled in the snow with the boy who came home...
The night wind whistled, blowing the boat, and the young man on the boat swayed gently in the night wind.
Neither of them spoke, just stared quietly.
Decades of time suddenly seemed like a blink of an eye in Shangguan Wushuang's eyes...a tear in his eyes could not fall for a long time.
She even wanted to take out the piece of jade, and she held the jade pendant, which was as warm as before, in her hand.
She wanted to ask the people on the boat, had they ever held her in their hands?
Just when she could hardly bear it anymore, Li Xiuyuan on the boat asked softly: "Long time no see, how are you doing?"
Xun'er was furious when she heard this, and reached out to Li Xiuyuan's face...but Li Xiuyuan shook her gently, looked at her and said, "Xun'er, where is Youruo?"
"Ah... what the hell!"
Xun'er screamed: "Junior sister went to Tianyu City to play with Sister Feng. What happened to your eyes? Don't scare me. Why haven't you changed?"
Shangguan Wushuang smiled, with an indescribable bitterness on his face.
Looking at the person from back then, Li Xiuyuan said softly: "Are you... okay?"
Shangguan Wushuang didn't reply. Finally, a tear fell quietly. She couldn't even say a word. Her originally bright cherry lips gradually turned pale because she bit them hard.
He held Xun'er's hand with one hand, fearing that he would collapse to the ground in the next moment.
The moonlight illuminated her desolate and beautiful figure. In front of the young man, she quietly seemed to have returned to Fengyun City, the Imperial Prefect's Mansion, and the Beihai battlefield...
She leaned against Xun'er's body and couldn't help but tremble slightly at this moment.
"I'm fine...thank you for the spiritual tea."
Shangguan Wushuang said quietly, stretching out his fingers as white as frost and snow, towards Li Xiuyuan's unpredictable face.
He murmured and asked, "Why do your eyes look like this?"
In her memory, the boy had a pair of clean and bright eyes. These eyeless eyes even illuminated her monotonous and boring years of practice.
It was like a silent flame, burning quietly with her throughout the long years.
And she never imagined that she would meet again in the fire domain of Tianxiang Academy, beside this mysterious river.
The young man seemed to have gone blind.
Li Xiuyuan, who was standing on the boat, took a gentle breath, looked at the woman leaning on Xun'er's arms, and replied calmly: "Without my eyes, I can still see you."
Shangguan Wushuang was speechless when he heard the sound, the corners of his mouth trembled slightly, but the hand holding Xun'er tightened.
She believed that Li Xiuyuan would not deceive her. If so, who could hurt this guy's eyes?
Moreover, the young man who was obviously blind still looked calm and calm. This... this is impossible!
God, what is this for?
Obviously more than ten years have passed, but the young man's appearance has not changed from that of when he was at Tianxiang Academy, and she, Xun'er and Youruo are no longer the young girls they were back then.
Staring blankly, Shangguan Wushuang bit his lips, his tears gradually blurring.
However, her heart, which had been silent for many years, was beating fiercely at this moment. Looking blankly at the smile on the young man's face, it was like a flame burning in her heart...
Youruo was the same, with a slight bitterness in the corner of his mouth, he looked at the young man in front of him with his face covered in black cloth and murmured something.
Then Li Xiuyuan stepped forward and came to her side, like the wind.
Slowly, slowly stretched out his hand to touch Li Xiuyuan's face and the scary-looking black cloth.
Xun'er screamed, holding a piece of black cloth in her hand, but what caught her eyes was a pair of empty and lifeless eyes.
Of course... You Ruo's master would not lie to her, an old friend from back then, so Xun'er screamed.
The night wind blew across Xun'er's cheek, and like her senior sister, Xun'er, who was screaming, also shed two lines of tears.
He murmured: "If Youruo knows about this, what will you do?"
...
In the distance, next to the fire.
Wen Xiaotian looked at a female disciple named Xiaoya. The two were whispering because they both saw the two elders walking towards the terrifying Youhe River.
When they entered the Fire Domain, they learned from the elders of the academy that Youhe was a forbidden area of death in the Fire Domain, and no one could move forward.
Xiaoya looked ahead and said, "Xiaotian, is it possible that you still want to go to that dangerous place to watch the excitement?"
Wen Xiaotian shook his head and whispered: "I heard that the other side of the Youhe River is the forbidden land of the Fire Domain. No one can go there. Maybe those arrows just now..."
Xiaoya was startled, looked at him and said nervously: "You mean, are there elders in the academy or... living there? Otherwise, how could the bad guy run away suddenly?"
Wen Xiaotian sighed and replied: "I don't know. Let's ask the two elders later. Fortunately, those arrows were there, otherwise we might have been bitten by the fire snake."
Xiaoya glared at him and whispered: "Tsk, we came to the fire realm to experience, how can we be afraid of those fire snakes? What will you do if we encounter them again tomorrow?"
Wen Xiaotian ignored her and just sighed: "Let's figure out what will happen tomorrow. You have to have confidence in the two elders..."
"Ouch......"
Xiaoya suddenly remembered something and couldn't help but ask softly: "Do you think there are monsters living on the other side of the Youhe River?"
"How is it possible? How could a monster save us?"
When Wen Xiaotian heard this, he shook his head and said seriously: "Monsters will only try to devour us, just like those fire snakes. How can they save us?"
Xiaoya looked intently into the distance, her expression gradually becoming more solemn.
Frowning, he said, "What if the monster knows the elders of the academy, or is the ancestor of the academy who stayed here to suppress the Fire Territory?"
Wen Xiaotian glanced at her and thought to himself that if the ancestral monsters had left with them long ago, how could they stay in this miserable place?
He shook his head and said, "I can't tell, but you really dare to think about it."
After a moment of silence, Xiaoya sighed and said with a smile: "It's okay. I'll ask Elder Xun'er later and I'll know everything. Don't be afraid. There are many of us after all."
Wen Xiaotian was stunned for a moment, not knowing what to say.
I thought the same thing, I'll know when I wait for my sister-in-law to come back, at least I'll be safe tonight, even Qin Tianyan has disappeared.
Several other disciples have already spread out their sleeping bags on the ground, preparing to take an early rest.
After all, they will continue to explore the Fire Realm tomorrow, and their experience has just begun. Everyone understands the importance of maintaining physical strength and cannot stay up late.
On the bank of the Youhe River, Xun'er had gently put the black cloth over the face of the young man in front of him, covering half of his face.
Xun'er sighed softly as she stared blankly at this familiar yet somewhat unfamiliar face with a pair of clear autumn eyes.
Said: "You Ruo may go to No. 47 Tianjie, do you want to go and see her?"
Xun'er's face was so close to Li Xiuyuan's, Shangguan Wushuang's faint fragrance hit him, and with two familiar old friends in front of him, Li Xiuyuan couldn't help but feel wandering for a moment.
Thinking about the times when I met Xun'er and Youruo in Tianjie, I couldn't help but smile, as if the two women reflected in the river were the beauties of yesterday.
You can reach out and touch it gently.
However, when he reached out, he suddenly became alert, as if he had been stung by a bee, and the expression on his face changed.
I thought that I had looked back for two people in the mountains and forests two hundred miles away from Furong Town.
If you say you turn back when you meet the Buddha, then along the way, who has ever turned back for you?
In a daze, Li Xiuyuan said something that left Xun'er and Shangguan Wushuang baffled: "The me you see is not me."
