Small door small faction [Cultivation]

"Hey, Senior Brother," Xie Dong couldn't help asking, "Are you alright?"

He Xiuyuan raised his head, his watery eyes fell on him, "What can happen?"

This is the usual calmness and indifference again, the inexplicable and pitiful feeling just now has disappeared without a trace.Xie Dong shook his head lightly, and was about to laugh at himself because he thought too much, but he found that He Xiuyuan's two hands were still on his knees.

Xie Dong couldn't help but pause for a moment.

Obviously, He Xiuyuan's heart is not as calm as he shows now.The reason may be Xie Dong's half-joking accusation just now, or it may be the resentful words of the girl before she left.

When he spoke again, Xie Dong couldn't help but soften his tone a lot, "Is that Miss Song the reason you argued with Master eight years ago?"

He Xiuyuan nodded, then shook his head, "It doesn't have much to do with her."

"She looks like a nice woman." Xie Dong said, "You probably don't want to hurt her."

He Xiuyuan pursed his lips.

"Senior brother," Xie Dong pulled out a bench at the table, sat down next to him, and pressed a hand on the back of his hand, "It's not suitable for you to have too much on your mind. Talk to me, okay?"

He Xiuyuan stared at the overlapping palms of the two for a long while, and finally gradually let go.

"If I'm really with her, I can only hurt her." He said, "Except for the reasons I told her before...even if what she pursues is just a momentary pleasure, I can't even be satisfied like a man A woman satisfies her like that."

Xie Dong was very surprised by this sentence, he did not expect He Xiuyuan to say such words so clearly.He even suspected that He Xiuyuan didn't know about the love between men and women before, and it seemed that he really wanted to quarrel.After all, senior brother is so old, not only knows this kind of thing, but also knows it very clearly.

"Even if I don't think about her, this kind of marriage contract can only be a trouble for me. I can't imagine how I will live with her in the future." He Xiuyuan said again, "No matter how you look at it, I rejected this marriage contract back then. , It's all a matter of course. I can't promise her. "

It was rare for him to be a little wordy, repeating a few sentences over and over again.When he said these words, he kept looking into Xie Dong's eyes, as if he was looking for some kind of approval.

Xie Dong sighed, looked at the sky, and understood something, "But Master wants you to marry her... right?"

This judgment is obviously correct.He Xiuyuan suddenly became quiet again.

"He very much hoped that you and that Song girl could form a double cultivator couple. After you chose to refuse, he became furious, and even quarreled with you to make you change your mind." Xie Dong recalled his master's temper, in a trance The scene of the fierce quarrel between the father and son almost immediately appeared in front of his eyes, "This is something you can't understand."

He Xiuyuan lowered his head, his hands clenched again and again.

Xie Dong raised his palm up and patted the senior brother on the back.

Although He Xiuyuan didn't understand the reason why the former head made such a choice, Xie Dong knew it very well.They are all the people who are in charge, how can they not understand it?The reason was none other than that Song girl's status as a disciple of the Penglai Sect.

It is no exaggeration to say that marrying a female disciple of the Penglai School is a great opportunity to soar into the sky and leap into the dragon's gate.From then on, He Xiuyuan will embark on the road of great success, and maybe he can lead Yuyumen to ascend to heaven together.In the face of such powerful interests, whether the couple's future life will be happy or not is placed in a secondary position, that's all.

It may not be that he doesn't care about this son, it may not be that he can't think of the hidden dangers in the future, it's just that he was dazzled by the sudden opportunity.

Looking at He Xiuyuan resolutely broke away from Yuyumen after that, and did not look back for eight years. The former head should have said some very hurtful words during the dispute.

"Oh." Xie Dong sighed.He wanted to ask what his master had said back then, but he couldn't bear to be watched so eagerly by He Xiuyuan now.

"No matter what, it's over." Xie Dong comforted, "Master also knows that he was wrong, and has always regretted it."

"Perhaps." He Xiuyuan lowered his eyes.

In fact, no one knows whether the former leader regretted it, why he regretted it, and to what extent he regretted it.It's just that now that everyone is dead, and the bodies have been found and buried, it's completely pointless to dwell on these things.

He Xiuyuan let out a long breath.

These old things that should have been buried in the soil a long time ago were dug out because of the arrival of that Song girl, with a different kind of freshness.But anyway, it's time to let go.

"But I still hurt her." Then He Xiuyuan asked, "I'm ruthless to her, is it really that hurtful?"

"Of course." Xie Dong couldn't help laughing, "Being ruthless is enough to hurt people, but you still keep denying her love for you."

"What is love?" He Xiuyuan asked again, "How do you know whether it is true love or ruthless?"

Xie Dong was immediately stopped by the question, and was silent for a long while.To be honest, although Head Master Xie thinks he is well versed in the world, he is still under [-] now, and he hasn't reached the time to experience emotions.Rao can say one, two, three, whether this one, two, three is right or not, he really has no idea in his mind.

"The main thing is to worry about it." Xie Dong analyzed from what he saw and heard, "If a person's love is tied to someone, he will miss that person every day, and he will miss it even if he doesn't see him for a moment. When you are looked at, you will be elated. When you see the other person happy, you will be happy. If you see the other person is uncomfortable, you will feel uncomfortable.

He Xiuyuan was a little taken aback when he heard the words.

"How?" Xie Dong asked curiously, "Do you have such a person in your heart?"

He Xiuyuan looked away, "You just came back from the suzerain of the Penglai sect, what did he tell you?"

Ouch, I have made great progress, I have learned to transfer words.

Xie Dong gave a smirk, but he didn't ask any further questions, and quickly explained everything about the Lingquan Eye.

He Xiuyuan's eyes are a little bright, and his face is full of Lingquan eyes. It's so good, so good. Lingquan eyes.

"Don't be too happy, this is not a good thing without risks." Xie Dong also talked about the 30-year agreement of the Penglai faction, and his worries about the situation when the Lingquan eye dries up in 20 years. Responded, is it true?"

"Of course it's right." He Xiuyuan replied, "Even if it fails, it still has more than [-] years of abundant aura, and there are so many disciples who have cultivated."

Xie Dong choked suddenly.To be honest, Xie Dong also thought the same way, and it was this kind of judgment that supported him to resolutely choose to agree.Even if Yuyumen may fall apart one day because of the Lingquan eye, the benefits brought by these twenty years will not be erased.

However... Although Xie Dong has always thought that the direction of the senior brother's thinking is a bit cute, at this time he actually thought of something with the senior brother, which still makes him feel complicated, as if he has mixed feelings.Especially looking at He Xiuyuan's expression, he obviously didn't realize the risk of gaining and losing again.

Afterwards, the two spent most of the day as guests in the Penglai School.

The next day Lingxi arrived as scheduled, and led them around the Penglai School, which greatly opened their eyes.

Especially Xie Dong was very interested in how the Penglai Sect managed so many disciples, and asked those disciples for a lot of information.

In the afternoon, they left the Penglai faction with unfulfilled desires, and prepared to return to their own Yuyumen.

"Are you in such a hurry to leave?" Ling Xi sent them all the way outside the mountain gate, "Why don't you stay for a few more days?"

"Thank you, Fellow Daoist Ling, for your kindness," Xie Dong said with a smile, "I really have to go, there are still a lot of things waiting for us to deal with in Yuyumen."

He also patted He Xiuyuan on the shoulder while speaking, "For example, we celebrate the grand ceremony of elder brother's alchemy."

"Really?" Ling Xi hurriedly asked, "When?"

"I'll do it when I get back." Xie Dong replied.

"Then I will go back with you to participate in the grand ceremony..."

"Farewell, goodbye, we still need to make some preparations when we go back." Xie Dong waved his hand, "What's more, if you go back directly with us, how can we welcome you at the grand ceremony? If you really want to participate, Just go with the Penglai faction in a while."

Ling Xi thought about it, it was indeed the case, and finally said goodbye to them cheerfully.

On the way back, Xie Dong took out two talismans and handed one to He Xiuyuan, "This is what the old fox gave me. Although the matter of Ji Luo has come to an end, after all, no body was found, and no one knows whether he is If you are still alive, will you suddenly jump out to trouble me? If you really meet him, you can just tear up this talisman. The old fox said that he will deal with him himself."

He Xiuyuan looked at the front and back of the talisman, nodded, and put it in the storage bag.

"The alchemy ceremony," He Xiuyuan said afterwards, "You never told me about it."

"Don't you want to do it?" Xie Dong asked him.

He Xiuyuan shook his head, "I just don't think it's necessary."

"No, it is absolutely necessary." Xie Dong smiled, "Our Yuyumen finally produced a golden pill, and this is not just a matter of our Yuyumen family."

He Xiuyuan looked at him, as if he had realized something.

"Yang Wanshu sent a letter yesterday, saying that those sects came to urge those borrowed magical weapons again, and he couldn't stand it." Xie Dong stretched out his finger again and pointed forward, "It's just right, I just let him keep those fellow Taoists. Come down to be a guest, and write a letter to ask fellow Taoists from other sects to also come, just to participate in your alchemy ceremony, wouldn't it be wonderful?"

He Xiuyuan asked in surprise, "You didn't return those magical artifacts?"

"I was avoiding Ji Luo before, so how could I pay it back? Yang Wanshu has been delaying me all this time." Xie Dong said this with confidence, "Later, he went to Penglai School as a guest, so there is no need to rush to pay it back."

He Xiuyuan remained silent for a long time, obviously speechless.

While speaking, the mountain gate of Yuyumen was already in sight.

Before they landed, they saw someone arguing at the mountain gate.

On one side is Yang Wanshu, and on the other side is Elder Zhao of Shuiyue Sect.

It was the one who came to collect debts and claimed that the magic weapon that the former head borrowed from them was worth 200 million spirit stones, Shuiyuezong, Elder Zhao.
