Embers

Since then, Ember has lived in this hut.

During the day, sitting beside the stele, writing and reading, or simply doing nothing, just staring at the three characters "Ye Bozhou" on the stele, could sit in silence for a whole day.

When the time came, Li Mei would come over to bring him meals and take his clothes to wash.

The days were dull and peaceful.

But that's only relative to them.Nie Budu's life was not so easy.

After the Wanyue Villa was captured, there was still the Lishan faction, even if the Lishan faction was captured, there were still the Yanshan faction and the Tsinghua faction.As soon as these Baidao sects heard about the Xiaxianmen incident, they blacklisted Yu Jin completely. When they heard that the Demon Sect took Yu Jin in, they directly pointed their finger at the Demon Sect.

Dealing with Ember is fake, but dealing with Nie Budu is real.After finally finding a reason to talk about the Devil's Cult, can't we let them make good use of it?

So Nie Budu has a lot of things going on recently, and his huge plan is still in progress, so he is very busy, and it is said that he has not slept much for several days.

But despite being so busy, he still finds time to visit Ember from time to time.Embers didn't welcome him at all though.

Except for Mo Yuan, no one knew what he wanted to do.Let’s say he is attentive, what he says and does is to the point, say he has no other ideas, and he has helped Ember quite a lot for no reason, every time he does this, others can see it .

Today, when I went to see that someone’s clothes were torn, I would ask someone to make a new one and send it to me. If I saw someone lacking a teacup tomorrow, I would immediately send someone to send it to me.

Much done, but little said.Almost every time I go, I don't say anything, just stand there for a while, people ignore him, and leave after a while.

Some people spread the word, saying that our leader has taken a fancy to that boy named Ember, and his lover just died, isn't this just an opportunity to take advantage of!

As soon as the speaker finished speaking, he felt a chill behind him, and looked back, okay, the secret agent Mo Yuan is staring at him with a dark face!

Several people immediately shut up and dispersed.

Mo Yuan taught Nie Budu these words, and said angrily: "Master, look at you, you have worked so hard, but people say that, you should say something!"

After hearing this, Nie Budu smiled leisurely, waved his fan and said, "It's better to say this than to express my intention to let him succeed the sect leader. Once someone who is interested will listen to it, they will feel that I am not far from death. Now, it’s very troublesome to crusade against the Devil’s Cult without fear of death. Second, let him not have too much hostility towards the Devil’s Cult. No wrongdoing. I hope he realizes that."

Mo Yuan thought for a while, and then he couldn't understand: "Could it be possible to let him mistakenly think that you have that kind of meaning for him, so that he can become the leader willingly?"

Nie Budu glanced at him, Shi Shiran said: "Impossible."

"Then you are?"

"Use his resentment towards me to attract attention, thereby alleviating his hatred towards the Demon Cult itself."

"..."

Mo Yuan was speechless, the leader really broke his heart for the Demon Cult, this is probably what the book said about sacrificing one's life for righteousness.

"Master, you are indeed a true gentleman."

Nie Budu accepted it calmly, and seemed to suddenly think of something: "The business that was run before Xiaxianmen has to be brought over tomorrow. You go create a fake identity and try to find a way to buy all those banks and restaurants at a low price."

"..."

Mo Yuan choked up.They are all exterminated, and you still want to rob them of their last bit of territory, it really is the leader of the Demon Cult!

After thinking about it, I realized that it was not right, it seemed that I had scolded everything including myself and the Demon Cult.

"Yes, but...the subordinate still has one thing that I don't understand."

At this time Nie Budu was thinking about how to get the inheritance of Xiaxianmen without anyone noticing, but at this moment when he heard his question, he just tilted his head and waited casually for his next words.

Mo Yuan hesitated for a moment: "Why... do you like Ember so much?"

Nie Budu raised his eyebrows: "Huh?"

"Why do you think he is the best candidate for the next leader?"

Nie Budu yawned lazily, and said: "The left and right guardians have their own ideas, and you are not the material to be the leader. Mo Suiren is too rigid. If you leave it to them, the Demon Cult will be destroyed sooner or later. Ember is very talented, Now the martial arts are much higher than yours, almost catching up with me, and I am decisive and agile. I am the kind of person who will not give up halfway when I do something. I can rest assured that the Demon Cult is in the hands of such a person. The most important thing is that now he is the enemy of Bai Dao on the surface, and the only one who can protect him and rely on him is the Demon Sect."

After a pause, he continued: "He practiced the "Cuohua Heart Sutra" in advance, which can be regarded as doing me a great favor."

Mo Yuan didn't think too much, thinking how sad he was, he nodded and backed away.

Leaving Nie Budu alone on the couch, thinking.

The embers are indeed this material, let alone other things, just going to that station adds a kind of intriguing momentum for no reason.

Judging from his attachment to Ye Bozhou, this person is definitely a bit stubborn, not the kind of person who gives up lightly.

Nie Budu originally thought that he often went to the hut to persuade him, so if there is no rush, why not boil the frog in warm water?One day I will be able to explain it to him.

but……

Thinking of this, he changed his hand to support his chin, and confusion flashed across his eyes.

"Master, Joe is here again!"

Mo Yuan ran in from outside, Nie Budu raised his eyes slightly, "No see."

Mo Yuan took the order and drove Qiao Chuhe away when he went out.

Nie Budu simply sat up and went down to the ground. Before he left, he glanced at a white jade pen on the table from the corner of his eye, took a second look, and took it away.

Ember bent over the desk to write as usual.

He was wearing a plain white long gown, and his blue hair was casually tied behind his neck with a white belt.

Ye Bozhou is gentle and elegant in white clothes, Nie Budu is romantic and suave in white clothes, but he can wear white clothes with an inexplicable taste, seemingly cold and arrogant, but in fact he is extremely lonely.

His back is very straight, and every movement is neat and crisp, which is actually very pleasing to watch.

A 17-year-old boy with a tall and slender figure and exquisite and perfect facial features.The most noteworthy is the pair of deep eyes, covered by long eyelashes, which can be seen for a moment when you lift them up occasionally.

It's like seeing a frozen lake. It's cold and quiet on the surface, but when you look closely, you can see the turbulent ups and downs hidden under the ice.

It is deep despair, and it is also indifferent to the extreme.

Nie Budu lifted his foot and entered the room.

The air was very quiet, except for the sound of his footsteps, which was the sound of Ember's sleeve rubbing against the table.

Nie Budu once again had the feeling that he didn't want to speak.

As usual, he sat down, poured himself a cup of tea, glanced at it out of the corner of his eye, and saw densely written on the paper under Ember's hand.

After a closer look, I saw that there was a sentence written on it: look up to the sky, and bow down to others.

Nie Budu was a little surprised, this sentence doesn't fit his state of mind right now?

Ember put down her pen, her expression a little dazed.

Nie Budu wanted to speak, but he didn't have the desire to say anything.

Just as he was confused just now, for some reason, as soon as he came here, he suddenly felt peaceful, and he didn't want to destroy this kind of silence. He felt that he could think through a lot of things just by staying here and watching Ember write.

He didn't care why this happened, but how to make Ember willingly take over the Devil's Cult was a problem.

He got up and handed over the white jade pen.

"This pen is something that came out of the palace, and it is very useful. I saw that you like writing, so I wanted to give it to you."

Ember didn't answer, and didn't even look at him.

Nie Budu had no choice but to put the pen on the table for him, and raised the topic again: "Why did you suddenly remember to write this?"

Ember reacted this time, he raised his head from the desk, he didn't say anything, his expression didn't change, but people could feel the indescribable loneliness emanating from him.

Nie Budu suddenly remembered that when carrying Ye Bozhou's relic, a piece of paper floated out, picked it up and saw this sentence was written on it, the font was exactly the same as Ember's font at this time.

He was startled.

Ember got up, walked out of the room, sat down in front of the stele, closed her eyes, her voice was cold and hoarse.

"...I don't know if it's cold down here at this time. If it's cold, you can add two more clothes. I don't know when I will go down to find you. Don't worry, wait a little longer. If there are Don't be tempted by those who are in line with your heart..."

He stretched out his hand to caress the cold stone tablet, and murmured: "Tie hair as husband and wife, there is no doubt about love..."

Nie Budu stood leaning against the door, and there was a trace of envy in his eyes that he didn't even notice.

Although Ye Bozhou died, at least there are still people who will spend their whole lives thinking about him.

He stood for a long time, said nothing, and left.

He only remembered that Ember's outer shirt was stained with dust, so he had to ask someone to bring him another one when he went back.

At night, Qiao Chuhe suddenly sat up from the bed, breathing heavily.

The endless flames, blood, and heart-piercing shouts have been his uninterrupted nightmares for so many years.

The scar on the ankle is still clearly visible, and the hand still seems to have a dull pain.

He looked at an unknown place with heavy eyes, and his fists were already clenched.

The nightmare made him resist falling asleep again, and after a moment of silence, he put on his clothes and left the room.

The moon and stars are sparse outside, and the wind that blows carries the faint smell of alcohol.

He paused, followed the smell of alcohol to search, and a bright red figure came into view.

The man was planted by the lake drinking wine, perhaps the moonlight was so desolate that his back seemed lonely.

Now is a great time!

Thinking about it, Qiao Chuhe wanted to go back to his room to get a knife, but Nie Budu had already noticed his arrival, and said suddenly: "Don't go."

Qiao Chuhe froze in place.

Nie Budu's voice was as usual, calm and irresistible.

"come over."
