On the path outside the courtyard, a shallow layer of dew formed on the grass that gave off a sense of decay, showing a few bleak whites in the dim night.
Dugu Wei strode away along the way he came, feeling indescribable sorrow in his heart. It wasn't until Murong Jing's voice sounded behind him that he suddenly stopped beside a handful of dead grass.
Murong Jing walked a few steps in front of him and stopped. Her eyes swept over his silent face. She handed the porcelain bottle in her hand to him and said, "There are some Ten Thousand Flowers Pills in here, which should be helpful for your injuries." help."
"Oh." Dugu Wei took the elixir and opened his mouth.
There were a lot of things he wanted to say in his heart, but when he looked at Murong Jing's unmasked face up close in the night, he subconsciously chose silence.
Murong Jing walked in front of him and said softly: "Let me see you off. You can tell me anything you want."
Dugu Wei smelled the faint body fragrance floating in the air, concentrated his attention, and followed Murong Jing. He looked at her in red clothes, but he found more and more sadly that he didn't know when she started wearing red clothes. She no longer has the sassy and cold demeanor of the past, but has returned to the introverted tenderness of a daughter.
So the two of them walked in silence until they came to the gate. Dugu Wei looked at Murong Jing who turned around and said, "The master must have known about your cancellation of the Dao contract. What do you have?" Are you planning to?"
Murong Jing pondered for a moment and said truthfully: "I will probably return both of these magic weapons to him."
"Are you planning to leave Hidden Valley?" Duguwei reminded seriously with a serious look on his face: "You should know the secret behind the mask better than I do, you..."
Murong Jing nodded lightly, her eyes drifted to the night outside the eaves, and said calmly: "When I failed to break through, it was Xuanwu who protected me. I always thought it was because of my flaw in my Taoist heart, but I also heard other voices. Until now The first time I lifted the Taoist bond, this mask that had been with me day and night for many years took the initiative to attack me, and I began to think about the deeper relationship behind these five masks."
Duguwei asked: "What's the relationship?"
The complicated look in Murong Jing's eyes flashed, and she shook her head and said: "It's just a guess, so I don't intend to cause you to misunderstand. You just had something to say to me, right?"
Murong Jing looked back and raised her head slightly, looking at Dugu Wei.
Dugu Wei looked at Murong Jing's eyes and was slightly absent-minded. When Murong Jing was wearing a mask, he had fallen in love with her eyes. It seemed that these eyes could see through the confusion of the world and reach the point of innocence. A lake, now that she has a peerless appearance, he still likes her eyes more.
Unfortunately, he could only like it.
Dugu Wei asked back: "Chen Zhuo supports Mu Qing as the city lord. Don't you want me to support him too?"
God knows how entangled and painful Dugu Wei was in his heart when he said these words, but the lines on his face did not change at all.
Murong Jing looked at him in surprise and said, "Do you think I would do this? Maybe in their eyes I have changed a little for Mu Qing, but I am still me, and I will not do this kind of thing."
Dugu Wei suddenly became excited, and the lines on his face melted, and asked: "Is it because you also have feelings for me? So you don't want to embarrass me like this?"
Murong Jing understood the meaning of Dugu Wei's words, and said in a calm and clear voice: "Don't misunderstand me. When I was carefree in the past, I was a little difficult for you. To say that feelings are also between friends, it is precisely because I put you As friends, you have the freedom to choose."
At this point, Murong Jing sighed, a trace of pain that seemed to have foreseen something flashed across his face, and said: "It's just that when the time comes, I can fight you and everyone to the death without becoming enemies. That's probably the best result." .”
"I'm sorry, I lost my temper." Dugu Wei took two steps back, leaned against the door frame, and lowered his head. The mood that he was about to calm down was completely shattered by the hem of a red skirt that came into view.
Murong Jing looked at Dugu Wei with some embarrassment, intending to comfort him, but because it was not something she was good at, she simply stood aside and waited for Dugu Wei to recover.
For a long time, Dugu Wei silently walked down the stone steps outside the eaves, leaving Murong Jing with his back. He paused and said: "Mu Qing is very young. You should have thought of things that he didn't think of. Sometimes, the expected bad situation can easily happen. It has become a reality, so I still hope you can persuade Mu Qing. Mrs. Wang’s previous proposal was good. Maybe Mu Qing doesn’t want anything, which can really ease the relationship between him and Zhang Lu.”
After Dugu Wei left, Murong Jing returned to the small courtyard house and took a source-replenishing pill at Huaifenghua's insistence. Seeing the unconcealable fatigue in Huaifenghua's eyes, Murongjing felt that because of what Duguwei said, The worries she had had gradually dissipated. As long as they treated each other sincerely, she believed that there was no difficulty that their strength could not solve.
Wang Yeqing, who had been working hard these days, told Mu Qing that he had sent a letter to the butcher asking him to meet up at Suzaku City as soon as possible, and then went to rest with Huaifenghua.
It was already late at night. After Murong Jing took the elixir, she also entered a deep state of oblivion beside Mu Qing. Mu Qing guessed that she could not wait to start meditating on the Nine Heavens Nether Flame Technique, forcing her to Putting aside the tiredness of falling asleep in my heart, I stood up and walked into the night outside the courtyard.
A lot of things happened on this day. Mu Qing had no time to look back until now. Bai Hao did everything he could to open the blood sacrifice formation. And how much of it was his fault that he was able to stop Bai Hao? It was impossible to tell how much of his efforts were the efforts of others, so he really didn't think about the extent of his contribution.
Because of Murong Jing's relationship, Mu Qing even had the idea of reconciling with Murong Yin. If Murong Yin did not stop him from being with Murong Jing, he could even still do something for Hidden Valley, but he didn't know that they were both on this side of Southern Xinjiang. Would Murong Yin think so under the sky?
After standing in the night for a long time, Mu Qing finally got over the stage of being swept away by the black tide of exhaustion, and said towards the deep night at the entrance of the small courtyard: "You have been hiding for so long, don't you plan to come out and say a few words? "
There was silence for a while, and just when Mu Qing sneered and openly exposed his back to enter the house, there was finally a reply: "No."
Mu Qing turned around and looked out the door. Cao Jin didn't know when he took off the eye-catching purple python robe. After entering the courtyard, he stopped walking, hesitating about what to say.
Mu Qing admired Cao Jin's ability to conceal his aura. If he hadn't come out to wake up, he probably wouldn't have discovered that this guy was hiding here.
Mu Qing looked at Cao Jin and said, "You have been hiding for so long because you want the method of breathing food?"
Cao Jin's white eyebrows trembled and said, "It's your turn to fulfill your promise."
Mu Qing said calmly: "You said that Bai Hao destroyed the Nether Flame Array because he actually wanted to lift the seal of the underground fire veins. However, almost all the seven bases of the Nether Flame Array were destroyed, but nothing like what you said happened. How can I tell if you were lying to me before?"
Cao Jin twisted his old face and said sternly: "Are you planning to default on your debt?"
Mu Qing shook his head and said: "I'm just discussing the matter? Please recall it carefully. Are there any records about the Nether Flame Formation that you forgot to tell me?"
