An elegant house in Hongmei Villa is separated in two parts by a scarlet screen. The screen is painted with a plum tree and a beauty in white looking at the flowers.
Behind the screen, Mu Hanyun and Shu Yuehen sat opposite each other across a low table. There were candied desserts on the low table, a plum vase in the corner, and a soft gold bed behind them.
Shu Yuehen felt as if he was sitting on pins and needles, feeling weak all over, but Mu Hanyun felt at ease.
Shu Yuehen was originally going to stand behind the master with Mu Hanyun, but the master said it was inappropriate and drove the two of them behind the screen.
This screen is made of colored glaze. Through the screen, you can see the faint silhouette of the person opposite.
Shu Yuehen held the sword in his hand and reminded himself to concentrate. If his master's old lover fell out, he would have to take action.
Mu Hanyun wanted to laugh very much, but the senior sister was sitting opposite and could only endure it.
Master invited all his old lovers to come to Hongmei Villa to line up and break up. To prevent accidents when meeting old lovers, he only made an appointment with one old lover a day.
The first old lover, Cheng Liniang, came. Her steps were heavy, her hair was graying, and her face was old, but her expression was calm and her posture was elegant.
Su Baicheng was shocked and quickly stood up to greet her: "Liniang, you're here! Why are you like this?"
Cheng Liniang chuckled and said, "Isn't it strange? We haven't seen each other for more than fifty years."
She walked straight to a Yaoqin and sat down, playing a piece of music.
Su Baicheng asked: "Liniang, I remember that you are in the golden elixir stage and you still have two hundred years to live. Why didn't you keep your appearance? But what kind of injury did you suffer?"
Cheng Liniang lowered her head to play the piano and said softly: "That's because I gave birth to a child for you, and my vitality was lost over the years, so I lost my longevity and failed to keep my appearance."
Su Baicheng asked eagerly: "Child? Why didn't you tell me?"
Mu Hanyun behind the screen was waiting for boredom. As soon as he put a honey fruit into his mouth, he heard "child" and almost spit it out. Shu Yuehen, with quick eyes and quick hands, stuffed the honey fruit back into his mouth.
Cheng Liniang said softly: "I gave birth to the child originally to keep you, but you never came to see me. The child grew bigger and bigger, and I didn't want him to recognize you. Your Xuantian Sword Sect and the Yin and Yang Demon Palace are mutually exclusive. Deathly enemy, if you recognize him, it will be bad for the child. From now on, the child will follow me and grow up in our Hidden Medicine Valley. It will be a blessing for him to live his life in peace."
Su Baicheng looked pale and said with a smile, "You are right."
The sound of the piano flows slowly like a stream, snowflakes dance outside the window, and red plum blossoms bloom. No one speaks in the elegant room, only the sound of the piano and the sound of falling snow.
Shu Yuehen and Mu Hanyun neither dared to move nor make a sound.
Cheng Liniang finally finished playing a piece of music and asked Su Baicheng, "Does it sound good?"
Su Baicheng said: "It sounds good."
Cheng Liniang smiled and said: "I can guess why you are looking for me because you want to break up with me. We are too different. You are the head of the Xuantian Sword Sect, and I am just a small person in the Hidden Medicine Valley. A medical practitioner, if you hadn't been injured a hundred years ago and saved by me, we wouldn't have met at all. Now you are still young and handsome, and I am already old. "
Su Baicheng was silent for a moment, and finally said: "No, it's because I'm not worthy of Liniang and I delayed you."
Cheng Liniang raised her head and smiled. Although her face was old, it could still be seen that she was a beauty in the past.
"I don't have much time left, so I am satisfied to see you one last time, Su Lang. I will never see you again."
Cheng Liniang left.
Shu Yuehen and Mu Hanyun walked out from behind the screen, both staring at Su Baicheng.
Su Baicheng put his hand on his forehead and said impatiently: "You two, just tell me what you have to say."
Shu Yuehen said: "Master, I didn't expect you to be a scumbag."
"What does scumbag mean?"
"He is a heartless man."
Mu Hanyun said: "Master, don't go into seclusion and chase that master's wife back. You may not break through the seclusion. Isn't it good to live happily with the masters?"
Su Baicheng said in a deep voice: "My master is the head of the Xuantian Sword Sect and is responsible for the Xuantian Sword Sect. You are still young and don't understand yet. When you are alive, you have to do some unhappy things."
Shu Yuehen said to Mu Hanyun: "If Master hadn't stopped being the leader and become a couple with others, it would have been Wei Yuanfeng's Uncle Wei's turn to be the leader. How would you have a good life then? "
But Mu Hanyun didn't care: "That's for the future, as long as I'm happy now. Although I'm young, I always feel that my time to be happy in this life is too short, so I have to enjoy myself in time."
He turned to Shu Yuehen and said, "Senior sister, you should also smile more. Keep a straight face all day long. I'm afraid you won't be able to smile anymore."
Shu Yuehen said with a cold face: "So the master is the master, I am the senior sister, and you are the second junior brother. The master is responsible for the Xuantian Sword Sect, and I am responsible for the junior brothers and sisters of Woyunfeng. You should also take your own responsibilities."
Mu Hanyun smiled and said: "I know, I have to take the responsibility of making Senior Sister happy."
The two were still arguing, but Su Baicheng had already walked out of the private room, looking at the vast flying snow and sighed: "It's snowing so hard this time!"
…
The next day, Su Baicheng's second old lover Qin Xiaomeng arrived.
It was still the elegant apartment, Shu Yuehen and Mu Hanyun were still behind the screen, but Mu Hanyun had learned his lesson this time and didn't dare to eat anymore.
Qin Xiaomeng is a disciple of Shuiyue Temple. When she came, she had already ordained and became a monk. Her hair was gone and she was dressed in gray silk clothes. Only her beautiful face remained.
There was no longer the deep emotion in her eyes, only calmness and tranquility.
Su Baicheng was shocked and asked: "Xiaomeng, have you finally given up on our old relationship?"
Qin Xiaomeng's treasure-like appearance was solemn, he clasped his hands and said: "The poor nun has realized this a long time ago. He is here just to help the benefactor end his relationship."
Su Baicheng smiled helplessly and said: "Yes, love is too bitter, it's because I'm too obsessed with it."
Qin Xiaomeng smiled and said: "The donor has something he wants to do. The poor nun only wishes the donor everything goes well and is willing to pray for the donor."
Su Baicheng forgot his emotions for a moment and shouted: "Xiao Meng!"
Qin Xiaomeng lowered his head and saluted: "Farewell, donor!".
Qin Xiaomeng left without looking back.
Shu Yuehen felt refreshed: "This master is so transparent, he actually dumped him first."
Su Baicheng was very disappointed: "Xiaomeng has always had Buddha nature."
Mu Hanyun said: "Master is so sinful! He managed to trick a beautiful lady into a nunnery!"
Shu Yuehen lectured Mu Hanyun: "What do you know! It's not a simple nunnery, it's a famous sect, it's a holy place for practice. Master Xiaomeng became a monk. He thought he abandoned his master and pursued his own career."
Su Baicheng sighed: "Alas! Yuehen, if you don't read Buddhist scriptures, don't tell your junior brother that you are ridiculous."
