Embers

At the end of the year, Ember met an unexpected guest.

That day, he happened to be inspecting a restaurant in the west of the city. As soon as the carriage arrived, he heard a commotion outside.

Li Mei went down to have a look, and told him on the return bus that someone stole steamed buns from our restaurant.

Ember frowned, and immediately got up and got off the car.

Who has the guts to steal it from the Demon Sect?

Following Li Mei all the way to the lobby of the restaurant, he saw a disheveled man being pinned to the ground by Xiaoer, with a few steamed buns tightly in his arms.

Seeing Ember, the boss' expression changed, and he asked in a low voice, "Master, why are you here?"

Ember didn't answer, but raised her chin slightly in the direction of the person on the ground: "What's going on."

Before the boss could speak, Xiaoer hurriedly explained: "This man entered our restaurant while there were many people, and walked around for a long time. The boss thought he was nervous when he looked nervous, but when he pressed it, there were only a few of them. Steamed bun."

Ember tilted her head, walked over, and looked down at that person.

"I...I..." The man was frightened by Ember's powerful aura, and "I" didn't say anything for a long time.

Ember stared at the man for a long time, evaluating in his heart.

He looks like a servant, and his clothes are exquisite in texture and gorgeous in style. He doesn't look like someone in a bureaucratic mansion, but rather comes from a wealthy family.But how could a servant of a wealthy family be reduced to such a state?

"Listen to the accent, are you from Jiangnan?"

Ember asked.

The servant raised his head tremblingly, thinking of the respectful attitude of the owner of the restaurant and Xiaoer to this man just now, he guessed that this man must be of unusual status, so he said honestly: "I came to do business from Jiangnan, but when I met bandits, our money and food will be taken away. They were all robbed, and now my young master has not eaten for three days, the villain is afraid that if this continues, the young master will..."

I couldn't help but get red eyes.

After hearing this, Ember looked unpredictable, and said slowly: "I can reward you with some money, and I can also give you some steamed buns."

The man was overjoyed, and was about to thank him, but then he heard Ember speak coldly.

"But your legs have to stay here."

The man opened his eyes wide, and his face instantly turned pale.

"Stealing things from the Demon Cult's territory is not that simple."

After finishing speaking, Ember was about to greet Li Mei when she heard a weak voice from the door behind her: "Er Fu..."

The man on the ground shrank back: "Young master, why are you here..."

Hearing that the voice sounded familiar, Ember turned around and immediately froze in place.

Even if he has accepted the fact that there is a person who looks [-]% similar to Ye Bozhou, after all, this memory has been buried in him for a long time, and when he suddenly sees such a face again, he still can't help being in a daze.

Seeing him, Yi Huaizhi was also taken aback: "Brother Ye...wrong, Yu, Ember?"

Ember looked at him fixedly.

Yi Huaizhi was a little happy at first, but soon thought of something, and lost his voice: "You...your illness is cured? Why did your hair turn white? You..."

Ember came back to his senses, and interrupted him with a blank expression: "Is this your servant?"

Yi Huai was taken aback: "Exactly."

"You were robbed?"

"……Yes."

Ember glanced at Li Mei, Li Mei understood, walked to the door, and asked softly: "Then Mr. Yi, would you like to live in the Demon Sect temporarily?"

Yi Huaizhi suddenly remembered that the person in front of him was already the new leader of the Demon Cult.Looking at Ember, there was no emotion on Ember's face.

"Then bother you." He smiled weakly.

In the end, Er Fu was still tortured by Li Mei with internal force, and when it was over, Er Fu couldn't even stand still.

Yi Huaizhi saw that Er Fu, who had been with him since childhood, was made into this shape, and the food in front of him was a little hard to swallow.

Ember, on the other hand, watched coldly from the beginning to the end.

"It's already very light." Li Mei sat down opposite him, and comforted him, "If it wasn't for an acquaintance, I'm afraid that your family member would have to give up one leg today."

Yi Huaizhi forced a smile: "I know, after all, it's the place of the Devil's Cult. If the rules are broken, I'm afraid it will cause a lot of trouble in the future. It's also because of me. I passed out from hunger this morning. Erfu was so anxious that he came out. This is the next policy."

Li Mei smiled.

After eating, Yi Huaizhi and Er Fu followed Yu Jin and Li Mei into the carriage and went to the Demon Cult.

Er Fu followed Li Mei to the front and drove the car, and there were only two people left in the big car, Yu Jin and Yi Huaizhi.

As soon as Ember got into the car, she closed her eyes and fell asleep, Yi Huaizhi stared blankly at his high bunch of snow-white hair, wanted to ask but didn't dare to speak casually.

He really didn't expect to meet this person here, even though he already knew that the leader of the Demon Cult was here, after all, he and Yu Jin had no friendship, but only had contact four years ago.

Therefore, the impression of Ember in his mind gradually faded, and he was rather surprised when he saw it now.

Another thing that surprised him was the change that happened to this person.

He couldn't help but think of the boy in white who appeared in the brothel when they first met.Although he was silent and indifferent, he was far from the fierce aura of today.

The embers I saw today have grown into a handsome 21-year-old man, and his eyes are full of emotions that are even more unpredictable.

After an unknown amount of time, when the carriage arrived, Ember raised her eyelids, got up and got out of the carriage, with a domineering look in black robe and white hair.

Yi Huaizhi got out of the car after him.

In front of him were two mahogany gates, on which was a plaque with the word "Demon Cult" written in flamboyant characters.

There are intricate patterns carved on the door, and the door knockers are all made of jade.

All the way in, no matter the scenery or the architecture, Yi Huaizhi, who came here for the first time, secretly marveled. It really is a demon sect, and there is no corner that is not exquisite and gorgeous.

Li Mei arranged two good rooms for him, let him stay for a few days first, and then go back after finishing his work.

According to Ember's wishes, she also brought him a stack of bank notes for the return journey.

Yi Huaizhi had no choice but to accept it, so he could only laugh and said, "Then please go back and thank Master Yu for me."

Li Mei nodded in response, her attitude was appropriate, gentle yet enthusiastic.

Yi Huaizhi said, this person has also changed.

Although I didn't have much contact with him four years ago, I can still feel that his character is pure and weak.Today, when he punished Er Fu with internal force, his expression was calm.

"My lord, when did you become friends with the leader of the Demon Cult?"

Er Fu, who was packing his luggage behind him, asked casually.

Yi Huaizhi was noncommittal, just said: "Let's finish our business soon and go back."

At night, perhaps because of bed recognition, Yi Huaizhi tossed and turned and found it difficult to fall asleep, so he thought of going for a walk.

Putting on some clothes and pushing open the door, the moonlight outside is clear and the sky is full of stars.The ground is covered with snow, glowing faintly in the moonlight.

This is the first time he has come to the north, and it is also the first time he has seen such a scenery. Except for the cold air, everything here makes him feel fresh and loved.

Walking all the way to enjoy the scenery, I lost my way unconsciously, surrounded by intertwined dry branches, my ears were so silent that there was no noise, and there was no light around me. Could it be that I went to some desolate place?

Just as he was thinking about the direction he came from, suddenly, a slight sound entered his ears.

It was the sound of footsteps on the snow.

He couldn't help being overjoyed, and was about to search for the sound, but he froze as soon as he turned around.

A man was standing upright three steps away from him, with a lamp in his hand, wearing a black cloak, with white hair in a high bunch, he didn't say a word, and couldn't see his expression clearly.

"Yu... Hierarch?"

Ember walked slowly with a blank expression on her face, leaving no traces wherever she went.

"Why are you here?"

Ember's voice was low and indifferent, hiding a trace of unknown emotion.

Of course Yi Huaizhi couldn't hear his emotions, so he just smiled awkwardly: "I couldn't sleep in the middle of the night, so I wanted to go out for a walk, but I got lost..."

After hearing this, Ember said calmly, "Follow me."

Yi Huaizhi had no choice but to follow behind him as a gust of cold wind blew by.

"Ah!"

Although he tried his best to control it, he couldn't help but sneezed.

Ember paused in her footsteps, and glanced at him slightly sideways.

He smiled a little embarrassedly.

Immediately afterwards, his smile turned into surprise.

Ember unexpectedly untied her cloak neatly, and with a flick of her wrist, she draped it over his body.

Yi Huaizhi was stunned as the warm cloak was draped over his body.

Seeing that he didn't respond, Ember frowned slightly, put down the lamp, bent slightly, and actually tied the belt for him with her own hands.

If there is a faint cold fragrance blowing towards his face, he can see that extremely perfect face when he raises his eyes.

Yi Huai subconsciously took a step back.

Ember paused, but was not displeased, straightened up and walked ahead with the lamp, leaving a sentence without any emotion: "Wear more next time."

And in the depths of the pear blossom forest behind them, a hut stood silently.

In the backyard of the hut is a cold stone monument covered with a layer of white snow.

Ember led him away from the woods all the way, and stopped at the door of his room.

Seeing that he was about to leave, Yi Huaizhi hurriedly said: "Your cloak!"

Ember didn't turn around: "Give it back to me when you leave."

Looking at his back in only thin clothes, Yi Huaizhi grabbed the cloak and suddenly felt an indescribable emotion.

It's because of that person... probably.

The one he had never met before, brother.

When they got together for breakfast the next day, Li Mei saw Yi Huaizhi's familiar cloak for the first time.

But he quickly looked away, calmly as if he hadn't seen anything, only his slightly paused hands revealed his emotions.

"How are things going?"

Ember's voice recalled his thoughts, he collected himself, and said seriously: "All the arrangements have been disrupted to each sub-rudder, and a special person has been arranged to explain the 780 law to them."

Ember nodded slightly, expressing satisfaction.

Surrender is surrender, but it does not mean that everyone is willing.

It doesn't matter if one person has some ideas, but if people with ideas get together, accidents will easily happen.Ember was well aware of this, so she arranged for Li Mei to shuffle all the returned people and arrange them in different places, so that they would completely die of rebellion.

Ember unknowingly put down her chopsticks, tapping her knuckles lightly on the table.

Some people said that my article was too depressing, so I was suddenly curious... What is it that supports you to see what you are seeing now?
