Embers

Eventful autumn.

Disputes abounded in major and minor matters in the rivers and lakes. First, the Demon Cult tried their best to find a reason to crusade against Wanyue Villa, and then the Qinghua faction of the Wangchen faction argued endlessly over who owned the Dongcheng Wharf.

Xiaxianmen has always been neutral, and they have both sides. Seeing this opportunity, they neither stepped on anyone, nor took advantage of it. With their ability to be a human being and their strong strength, no one dared to provoke trouble.

But the absence of direct provocation does not mean that there is no indirect temptation.

Take the matter of the Wangchen faction and Qinghua faction’s Dongcheng Wharf as an example. Several of the merchants in that area were contracted by Xiaxianmen.If the guarantee is not equal, one day the two factions will finally reach an agreement, and if they split in half, they will lose out if they don't.

Although the benefits here are small, such a thing is obviously to test the reaction of Xia Xianmen.If you endure it at this time, then people will occupy your territory if they want to.

It's not about plundering, people just come bit by bit. There is a word for it, but it doesn't cover how much it accumulates.

Therefore, the elders of Xiaxianmen are still busy recently, holding a meeting every now and then to study how to deal with it, and sending someone out to drink tea and talk with them every now and then.

Idle like Ye Bozhou, it's hard to have such a busy time, not to mention the four elders meetings held this month, he also visited the Qinghua faction once and Wanyue Villa once as a representative of Xiaxianmen.

Going to Wanyue Mountain Villa is of course to condolences, even if you don't really care about it, you have to act like that, this is Xiaxianmen's consistent code of conduct.

Lu Yuyi was already too busy alone. As the big brother of Baidao, Xiaxianmen was involved in many things. At this time, facing the situation that was gradually becoming chaotic, he naturally had to run around.

From the beginning to the end, the current martial arts leader Xie Fengliu never showed up.

But it's the same whether he comes out or not, even if he presides over the overall situation, no one will listen to him.Who wouldn't want to make a profit for themselves?After all the martial arts lord has waited for such a good-for-nothing, who is willing to abide by the dogma and be controlled?

He Xizhuang had nothing to do all the time, and his business was booming. Zheng Yijun's face was always full of joy just after his wedding.

"The old man said, let me take over the family's business when I turn [-]. By then, my young master, I will be considered a shopkeeper, and I won't be in charge of my pocket money anymore!"

He couldn't help laughing out loud.

Ember held the sword and looked at an unknown place, motionless, as if her soul had come out of her body.

Zheng Yijun couldn't help reaching out and poking him: "Hey, are you listening to me?"

Ember glanced at him expressionlessly.

Zheng Yijun shivered subconsciously.

"Ah, Ah Jin..."

"Ok?"

Zheng Yijun looked at the embers who had returned to normal, wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, and still felt a little palpitation: "How do I feel, something is wrong with you recently?"

Ember paused: "What's wrong?"

"Do you feel that you seem to have a lot of hostility recently... How should I put it, it feels like a sudden change of person at some point!"

Ember frowned.

Zheng Yijun was pondering over his words: "...it's like the look you gave me just now, with a very special indifference. That kind of indifference is not your usual one, but...how should I put it, it seems that you don't care about the common people in the world. The indifference in the eyes."

It's not just indifference, it's like ice wrapped in a sword's edge rushing towards the face, there is a kind of shocking coldness.

Ember said calmly: "You read it wrong."

Even Zheng Yijun could see it, if Ye Bozhou hadn't been too busy this month, he would have noticed it a long time ago.

He lowered his eyelids, wondering what he was thinking.

Zheng Yijun was still scratching his head: "Are you reading it wrong? It doesn't seem to be... Well, it's also possible. I've slept too late these two days."

Ember could not help but glance at him.

"Create a son!" Zheng Yijun blinked at him ambiguously, "I guess in a year or so, I will be a father!"

"..."

As usual, Ye Bozhou came back very late, and Guanzi in Dongcheng drank half the night with the people from the Qinghua faction, and his body smelled of alcohol.

His steps were a little erratic.

Those old foxes kept trying to get him drunk so that he could let go.Although he has a good capacity for alcohol, he can't help drinking like this.

Of course, he didn't let go in the end, and even persuaded them with a smile not to hurt their peace for a small profit.

He staggered to find the door of his own yard, and was about to lean on the wall to rest for a while, when he fell into a refreshing embrace.

"Jin'er..."

Ember frowned: "Did they feed you?"

"Yeah." Ye Bozhou tugged at the front of his shirt, trying to stand up, "I want a cup of tea."

Ember helped him into the room, put him on the couch, and poured him a cup of tea.

Ye Bozhou drank it in two sips, and then fell down on the bed, his face didn't turn red, but his eyes had already started to blur, presumably it was because of the stamina of the wine that he felt really drunk.

But Ye Bozhou seemed to know what Ember was thinking, and laughed softly: "How is it possible...silly boy...only when I'm by your side... can I get drunk with confidence..."

Ember stood by the bed and looked at him, not knowing what to say.

Usually, when I am not around, the master often suffers from insomnia, and only when he is by my side can he sleep comfortably.

"Come here, let me hug..."

Ember sat down helplessly: "Master, you are drunk."

He was embraced by Ye Bozhou all at once.

"Ok, I know……"

Ye Bozhou smiled to himself, and licked his lips lightly on his neck.Ember froze all over, and quickly reacted.

"Master, it's time for you to sleep."

Ye Bozhou acted like he hadn't heard of it, and he reached into his clothes irregularly, stroking the skin on his chest.

Ember couldn't help feeling a little headache, pulled his hand out, and pressed him firmly on the bed: "Hurry up and go to sleep."

Ye Bozhou tilted his head and blinked: "...why don't you let me touch..."

Ember said patiently, "I'll let you touch it when you're awake."

"...Okay." Ye Bozhou was a rare obedient person, so he closed his eyes obediently.

Ember found a set of clean clothes for him from the cabinet, carried them to the bed, and tried hard to take off his clothes to change, but suddenly, his pulse skipped a beat.

Just like that, it jumped without warning.

An indescribable strange feeling began to appear all over his body.

Realizing what happened, Ember's hand shook violently, and hurriedly took a few steps back.

That weird feeling rushed all the way to his brain, so fast that he had no time to resist.

Realization began to blur, and everything in front of my eyes began to appear ghostly.

It seems that something in the body is eager to vent, and the bones all over the body are itching, itching to the point of pain, as if there is a razor scraping on it.

Looking at Ye Bozhou lying on the bed, his feet walked over there as if he couldn't control his feet.

No, no!

His lips were bleeding from his bite, and his nails were deeply embedded in his flesh. His eyes finally became clear, and he stumbled towards the door.

The pain and itchiness all over his body began to double, and his hands that were trying to push the door were shaking violently.

No, you can't get close to him even if it hurts!

He took a deep breath and was about to open the door.

At that moment, Ye Bozhou seemed to be thirsty, so he called out in a low voice: "Jin'er..."

It was that sound that completely shattered Ember's rationality.

In a daze, Ye Bozhou only felt that someone had roughly torn his clothes and bit his chest indiscriminately.

pain……

He struggled to get up, but when he opened his eyes, he saw Ember's head.

It turned out to be Ember.

He relaxed and stopped resisting.

Then, there was a tearing pain.

……

In his confusion, he was still thinking about why Jin'er was so rough today.

But how could he be willing to blame him, he just gritted his teeth and endured the pain, thinking, just bear it...

The great pain prevented him from caring about Ember's anomaly, and he just felt a tear fall on his chest in a haze.

Opening his eyes halfway, he only saw the burning eyes in Ember's eyes.

From the beginning to the end, he didn't even cry out in pain.

……

……

The next morning, Ye Bozhou woke up from the pain.

He wanted to turn over in his sleep, but suddenly the injury behind him was involved, and the stinging pain shot all the way to his brain, forcing him to wake up.

Beside him, Ember fell into a deep sleep, her brows tightly locked.

"I'm frowning even when I'm sleeping..." Ye Bozhou sighed softly, and raised his hand to gently caress the center of his brow.

Ember suddenly opened his eyes.

"Master!"

Ye Bozhou was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "Have you dreamed of becoming a teacher? Why did you call me Master so early in the morning?"

Ember didn't seem to have heard of it, but immediately sat up and lifted the quilt to check on him.

When he saw a piece of dried blood on the bed, his face suddenly turned pale.

The moment I woke up, I saw Ye Bozhou's familiar smile, and secretly hoped that everything was just a dream...

Ye Bozhou didn't care about the pain in his body, he only felt sorry for his appearance, and put him in his arms: "It's okay, Master has eaten too many dates recently, and he needs bloodletting..."

"..."

Ye Bozhou kissed his forehead: "Okay, Master doesn't blame you, don't blame yourself, huh?"

Ember stared at him blankly.

Ye Bozhou smiled wryly: "However, Jin'er, please be lighter next time, Master is really in too much pain."

……

Ye Bozhou thought that it was just because he was too drunk and didn't give any advice, and Ember himself was inexperienced.

Ember of course knew what was going on, and despair, anger and guilt swept him like a tide.

After giving Ye Bozhou medicine and changing his clothes, he watched Ye Bozhou fall into a deep sleep, and he locked the door silently and came to the cave by the Houshan Lake alone.

The long sword was unsheathed, leaving a bunch of messy marks in the cave without any rules.

Panting heavily, he looked at the "Cuohuaxinjing" in his hand, and his anger surged up layer by layer.

If it wasn't for it, how could I treat Master like that!

He has already regretted it, he doesn't want to practice anymore!

Just as he was about to lift the sword to chop the "Cuohua Heart Sutra" into pieces, another burst of severe pain came to his mind.

The sword fell to the ground, and he curled up in pain, his internal organs were stirring.

It's too late to regret now just because of a mistake!
