Early in the morning, after breakfast and getting ready for departure, Shen Moyao knocked on Yun Shao's door.
"Brother Shen, what are you..."
"These are the pastries and snacks I asked the kitchen to prepare early in the morning. They are freshly baked. You can eat them on the way."
"There are also some light pastries in it. You can give it to your aunt to try. She might also like it."
Yun Shao held the steaming pastry in his arms and looked at Shen Moyao with eyes full of joy.
"Well, Brother Shen, you are so kind."
Shen Moyao stared at Yun Shao closely and said nothing. Yun Shao was puzzled and looked a little reserved before he slowly spoke, his voice was raw: "Yun, Yun Shao, just call me Mo Yao from now on. There is no need to call me Brother Shen so unfamiliarly."
Shen Moyao has been very uncomfortable ever since he heard Xu Xiaoling's name for her. He felt inexplicably alienated from her. Last night, he thought about how to bring the two of them closer together, which led to the current situation. He felt Compared to Xu Xiaoling, he should have a closer relationship with Yun Shao.
Yun Shao: “…………”
Shen Moyao, who didn't hear the sound, lowered his eyes and looked at Yun Shao, and saw that her cheeks were red, her eyes were filled with autumn water, her eyelashes were trembling slightly, and she looked like a shy little daughter.
Shen Moyao's pupils were deep, with a strange brilliance.
"Yun Shao, I want to hear you call me like this."
He approached Yun Shao, and his deep voice pressed against Yun Shao's earlobe, gently tickling her heart like a feather.
Yun Shao's cheeks were red and timid: "Mo, Mo Yao..."
"Um……"
Shen Moyao swept away his dull mood, lowered his thick eyelashes slightly, and looked at the softness in her eyes.
"Yun Shao, it's time for us to set off. Don't keep your aunt waiting."
As he spoke, he raised his arm and rubbed the top of her head gently. With a smile on his lips, he turned and walked out the door.
………
Yunxuzong.
A middle-aged man with a beard, a thin figure, and a pale face was sitting in the hall. There was a tired look on his brows, showing a tired look that was difficult to conceal.
"I wonder if Mo Yao has received them safely?"
The old man with white hair sitting next to him put down the cup in his hand: "Mo Yao has always been considerate in his actions, so you have nothing to worry about. Your injury has not healed yet and you need to rest slowly. Don't think too much."
The speaker was Elder Xu, one of the elders of the sect, Xu Xiaoling's grandfather.
The leader sighed, his tone filled with sadness.
"Senior Brother Gu died for the sect and left behind a helpless wife and daughter. How can I not be worried."
Senior Brother Gu has long since retired from the world, and finally bothered him to come out. Now that he has passed away, he naturally has to take more care of his wife and daughter, so that he can be worthy of Senior Brother's spirit in heaven.
"Gu Yanli died for justice, and he died a worthy death. This was his choice, and the leader does not need to feel too guilty."
The leader coughed slightly, but did not relax his brows and said no more words.
Seeing this, Elder Xu shook his head helplessly, not knowing how to comfort the leader.
Elder Li was sitting there with a serious face and a stern expression.
Thinking of her daughter who left with Shen Moyao, there was helplessness in her brows.
He didn't agree with letting Nian'er follow him down the mountain at the beginning, and he didn't know if the girl was messing around here. Nian'er lost her mother when she was young, and he had always been too pampered towards her, which made her act a little lawless. When he found out that he wanted to correct her There is nothing I can do about my temper.
If they were to get married, no man with her temper could stand it.
Thinking of this, Elder Li raised his eyes to look at the leader, deep thought flashed in his eyes.
At this time, a disciple hurriedly ran over: "Report to the leader, Senior Brother and the others are back!"
The leader hurriedly stood up and asked quickly: "Where are you now?"
"I just entered the sect."
After hearing this, the leader walked out of the hall first, followed closely by the other elders and disciples, who hurriedly walked towards the sect entrance.
Shen Moyao ordered his accompanying disciples to send Yun Shao and their luggage to the place where Uncle Gu lived. As soon as he finished speaking, he saw the master coming with other elders.
The headmaster looked at the unfamiliar mother and daughter beside Mo Yao, bowed to Ruan's mother and said.
"These two must be Mrs. Gu and niece Yun Shao!"
Shen Yunqing heard Senior Brother Gu tell him, and also heard Mo Yao tell him about their mother and daughter, so he naturally knew their names.
Mother Ruan looked at the middle-aged man in a loose robe in front of her and nodded.
"I am Ruan Yiluo, the wife of Gu Yanli, and this is Gu Yunshao, my husband's and my daughter." Ruan Yiluo introduced him.
"Are you the Junior Brother Shen Yunqing that my husband once mentioned?"
When Shen Yunqing heard that Senior Brother Gu mentioned it to them, there was joy in his eyes.
"Yes, it's Yuan Qing."
Ruan Yiluo's voice was filled with melancholy: "Where is my husband buried? Can you take us there?"
She was in no mood to chat now, she just wanted to meet her husband.
"Okay, Yuan Qing will take you there right now."
Shen Yuanqing took Ruan Mu to the back mountain, passed through a bamboo forest, and saw Gu Yanli's grave on a hillside.
Ruan's mother's mind went blank, and then she really believed that her husband was really dead.
Ruan Yiluo's body couldn't help trembling, and he stumbled over. His heart was piercing his heart, and tears were pouring out uncontrollably.
With a "boom" sound, he collapsed on the ground, stroking her husband's tablet, then collapsed on the ground and burst into tears.
"Gu Yanli, you promised us to wait for you to go back, but you broke your promise!!"
"How could you be willing to abandon our mother and daughter!!"
Yun Shao also came to his father's grave at this time, knelt on the ground, looked at the lonely grave, his voice trembled and he choked.
"Dad, you said you would take Mom and Shao'er to watch the lanterns. You never lied to Shao'er."
"Dad, Shaoer misses you so much..."
Yun Shao's voice was choked and thin, which made people feel sad for no reason.
Shen Moyao stood there, and you could clearly see tears slowly falling from the corners of her eyes.
The fluttering ink hair was messy and floating on her cheeks, her eyebrows were furrowed tightly in sadness, her moist eyelashes were trembling slightly, her lips were lightly pursed without any blood color, and her skin color was as creamy as if it were transparent against the white snow.
Hearing her cry, his heart seemed to be held tightly by someone, and he couldn't breathe.
Others felt uncomfortable looking at the painful and desperate mother and daughter.
Shen Yunqing took the others and left here, leaving this place to their mother and daughter.
Shen Moyao followed the master, looking at the howling wind behind him, the biting ice and snow mixed with Yun Shao's continuous cries, his steps were heavy.
Li Nian on the side did not have such dull thoughts. She glanced at the mother and daughter who were crying in pain, and hummed in conscious relief.
Shen Moyao's dark eyes glanced at Li Nian with a cold look.
In the following months, Yun Shao, who didn't know what happened, didn't see Li Nian for a long time.
When other disciples mentioned Senior Sister Li Nian, they all looked mockingly.
