On a cold winter night, a group of people walked up a gentle slope and stopped when they looked at the outline of the city that appeared in their field of vision.
Yue Jiu counted the swaying lights in the city and said to the two people around him: "The people we saw in the northern border of the Imperial Dynasty should be the last batch of casual cultivators to leave Juye City. The current Juye City has at least been gone for nearly 10 years. With seven adults, it’s much more deserted than before.”
"The Miss Bai you mentioned is a very powerful person, and I admire her very much." A calm voice sounded.
Yue Jiu sighed softly in her heart when she heard the words, looked at the speaker and said, "I hope it's not too late, and I can introduce her to Mr. Yu by then."
Mr. Yu is a middle-aged man with a gentle and elegant temperament. Yue Jiu has already learned his true identity from Wang Yeqing. Along the way north, he wonders how many times he lamented what Mu Qing has gone through.
Mr. Yu nodded slightly to Yue Jiu, looked at the woman in red and said, "Master Murong, do you want to go into the city?"
Murong Jing's aura tightened, and she naturally exuded warmth to the world. The cold wind and snow could not get close to her. She looked at the strange city not far away in silence, and shook her head gently: "Senior, they are still updating. To the north, let’s just go around it.”
Yue Jiu opened her mouth. The three of them went north this time and did not rest once on the way. Yue Jiu actually had a question that he had been holding in his heart for a long time. At this time, he finally couldn't help but ask: "Miss Murong, do you know Mu Qing Are you saving someone?"
Murong Jing nodded lightly: "I knew it a long time ago."
Yue Jiu looked at the calmness on Murong Jing's face, feeling both ridiculous and curious about what would happen if several women met together in the future.
Yue Jiu was vaguely looking forward to it, and no longer hesitated, saying: "If everything goes well, they will appear at the place where Miss Ye first disappeared, which is some distance from Juye City, more than 900 miles away."
"It's more than 900 miles away from them."
In Juye City, Ye Qingyu stood on the snow-covered wall, retracted his gaze to the north, and said.
Ye Yun stood by the wall, lowered her eyes and said, "Sister, you suddenly ran out, have the Gu family discovered us?"
Ye Qingyu shook his head slightly, and when he jumped off the wall, he glanced in a certain direction behind him and said, "My sword sense is very sharp. There was a well-hidden aura coming from the south just now. It shouldn't be from the Gu family."
Ye Yun snorted and said with concern: "Sister, your current condition is not suitable for being away from Yunhua Sword for too long. You should come back first."
Ye Qingyu glanced at Ye Yun and saw her pretending to be calm and indifferent. He vaguely guessed what she wanted to do later and asked, "How is your uncle's situation?"
Ye Yun said: "He was seriously injured, but his skills were similar to those of my father. When I came over, my father was still healing his injuries. Sister, it's almost late, let's go and rest."
Ye Qingyu's eyes moved slightly when he heard this. He clasped his hands behind his back, leaned his upper body slightly forward, and approached Ye Yun and said, "Your father specifically requested me, hoping that I can take good care of you."
Ye Yun looked at Ye Qingyu's face, and after a moment of silence, she said seriously: "Sister, I don't want to wait like this."
Ye Qingyu asked: "When do you plan to go back?"
Ye Yun turned her face and said, "Wait until my sister returns to Yunhua Sword."
Ye Qingyu frowned and said, "Looking at you, do you plan to go back alone?"
Ye Yun hummed softly and said, "Sister, you should be able to think of why I told my father about the Taoist seed, right?"
Ye Qingyu sighed inwardly, stood up straight and said: "The closer I am to Juyecheng, the more silent you become. How could I not know? You have never thought about leaving. You want to prove your relationship with Mu Qing to your father, but Your father cares more about your safety."
Ye Yun's eyes were full of helplessness and said: "I regret telling the truth about Daozhong. If I had stayed at that time, my father would have insisted. But Beihuang is the territory of the Gu family. I don't know if there will be any more. The second and third Koga.”
Ye Qingyu pursed his lips and smiled, and said, "You don't care about your own safety."
Ye Yun was extremely lonely and said: "When I left Xichuan City, I decided that no matter what happens in the future, I will never be separated from him. But now I am so far away from him."
Ye Qingyu looked at Ye Yun who was sinking into self-blame, and felt something in his heart
Lian Yi, gently held her in his arms and said, "You don't want your father and others to be in danger because of your choice. If I were you, I would do the same."
Ye Yun took the initiative to break away from Ye Qingyu's arms, looked at Ye Qingyu expectantly and said, "Sister, every moment of peace here is a kind of torture for me. When I decided to come back here, I planned to go back alone. But My father and others cannot know this, I hope you can keep it a secret for me."
Ye Qingyu shook his head and said, "No."
Ye Yun frowned and said: "I have always known the dangers, and I don't want to be a burden, but whether it is him or you, they always seem to want to protect me. If my strength does not exceed yours, I will Do I have to be under your protection all the time?”
Ye Qingyu thought of the scene where he and Xichuan had been waiting for her silently over the years, and felt quite the same. He thought hard for a moment and then said: "This feeling of being protected all the time is really bad. But maybe it will be different when you change your mood in the future. .”
Ye Yun was puzzled: "Huh?"
Ye Qingyu said with some embarrassment: "Xichuan and I have been torturing each other these years, but after we were together, looking back, the reason why we felt it was a kind of torture at the time was still because we were both being hurt by you. It's very satisfying. You should remember that you were never a burden."
Ye Yun silently looked at the snow on the courtyard wall. In the night, the white snow seemed to be soaked in a layer of light blue ink. It seemed that the white of the snow and the black of the night could not tell who was more and who was less. Maybe they were simply mixed together. together.
Ye Yun said: "I know. But at the beginning, Brother Xichuan was willing to die for my sister, and you are the same, sister. Isn't it a better explanation? I am wearing the treasure clothes Ling'er gave me, which will not leak my breath. To say it is dangerous , it is dangerous for them to stay and face the Gu family alone."
"I just can't imagine what the world would be like without him."
"Sister, aren't you worried about Brother Xichuan?"
Ye Qingyu forced a smile and said: "The reason why Xichuan City became the ideal home for many casual cultivators was because he is the city lord of Xichuan City. I am not worried about him."
Ye Yun frowned and said, "But the Gu family has been developing in Beihuang for many years. Brother Xichuan probably doesn't know what cards they have prepared."
The smile on Ye Qingyu's face gradually faded, and he and Ye Yun looked at each other for a moment. Finally, he couldn't stand it anymore and said helplessly: "Do you know why I always disagree with your decision?"
Ye Yun is also very depressed. Before she confessed to Ye Qingyu, she felt that Ye Qingyu should be the one who could understand her best, but now Ye Qingyu still refuses to let go.
Ye Qingyu bent his fingers, flicked Ye Yun's forehead, and said angrily: "I promised to Xichuan, to Mu Qing, and not long ago to your father, as the only one who will stay by your side to take care of you. Elder, I must behave as calmly as an elder should."
"But aren't you stupid enough to lie and say you won't go back? Just pretend that I didn't notice you, and then I can follow you with peace of mind."
Ye Yun opened her eyes wide and looked at Ye Qingyu in disbelief.
Ye Qingyu turned around with a sullen face and said: "That guy from Xichuan said that he can meet us in an hour at most. How long has it been? There must be something wrong, but you should understand that if it is something that even he can't solve for the time being, The problem is, there’s nothing we can do about it.”
Ye Yun said seriously: "I have to go even if I have no other choice. As long as I don't become a burden, it's fine even if I watch from a distance."
Ye Qingyu glanced sideways at her, hummed, and said softly: "Actually, I also want you to convince me. Perhaps in the world of cultivation, except for ourselves, the weak one is still a burden to the other party in the eyes of outsiders."
"But one of your words convinced me. I really can't imagine the world without him. It would be so boring that I would want to die. Instead of waiting for some bad news and then dying, it's better to do it before that happens. , together.”
A smile broke out on Ye Yun's face and she said, "Sister, I would say that I ran back by myself."
Ye Qingyu glared at Ye Yun, stretched out his hand to hold the Yunhua Sword in his hand, glanced at the neighbor, and said, "I feel a little wronged to you, Uncle Feng."
Ye Yun's smile froze, "Sister, is it possible?"
Ye Qingyu said apologetically:
"Actually, your father left the city just now. If he hadn't asked me to take good care of you, I might have agreed to it a little earlier."
Ye Yun was a little silent.
The reason why she was willing to return to Juye City was because she didn't want Yingque and the others to be in danger because of her. Now that things are going round and round and nothing seems to have changed, then why are they coming back?
Ye Qingyu said: "He guessed your plan and hoped that I would definitely keep you here or even knock you out. This kind of thing is really embarrassing, but you can let me go. Sister, I will not be such a bad person."
Ying Que's voice suddenly came from next door, and he said sincerely: "Xiao Yun, if you want to go, just go."
"Is your dad always this way?"
"..."
"Okay?" Yingfeng was silent for a while and said: "Everyone's good life is to be awake."
Next door, I heard the sound of Ye Qingyu and the others leaving the air. Yingfeng, who was huddled under the corner, stood up unsteadily and walked towards the house while muttering to himself: "When did I have such a talent?" ?The key point is that I don’t have a wife yet… This world is really boring.”
