Folding the halberd to seal the cold

Qin Yan can't remember how long it has been since she saw Gu Qingxi's serious expression.

At this moment, she let Gu Qingxi pull her all the way through the bamboo forest path, and the bamboo branches on both sides hurriedly passed behind them. Gu Qingxi just led her forward without any pause.

His palms were warm, and his side face was against the light, making him look handsome and refined with a serious expression.

It made Qin Yan suddenly think of the time when he first met Gu Qingxi.

That year, she ran for her life with her elder brother, and after many twists and turns, she came to Chunyang Palace to join her father's best friend in Taoism.

That was the first time she came to Chunyang Palace, and she was very unfamiliar with everything here.

Chunyang Palace is located on the top of Huashan Mountain, covered with snow all the year round, so it is extremely clear and cold.The little disciple who escorted them took her through the majestic mountain gate, and all she saw along the way were green and vigorous old pines covered with layers of white snow, and the stone steps under her feet were high and wide.Against the cold sunlight on the horizon, there are occasional white cranes fluttering in mid-air, and the censer in front of the solemn Liangyi Gate is filled with smoke, making people feel like they are in a fairyland.

At that time, she was very envious of Gu Qingxi, who could live in such a fairy-like place.

But seeing Gu Qingxi was really a surprise.

At that time, Gu Qingxi was punished by his master to recite the Tao Te Ching in front of the Liangyi Gate because of his laziness. Although he was wearing a Taoist robe dressed in white and snow, he was lazily leaning against the cold stone gate and carelessly said: "Tao begets one, one begets two, and two begets two." Three, the three give birth to all things. All things bear yin and embrace yang.

Qin Yan's thin figure staggered a little.Due to the exhaustion along the way, when she and her brother rushed to Chunyang with strong willpower, their lips were blue and pale from the cold.

Someone's lazy voice was faintly heard, mixed with the sound of wind and snow, which sounded very ethereal.

It just so happened that Gu Qingxi was carrying a mahogany sword in his hand while carrying it on his back, gesticulating the newly learned moves a little bored.

It was because he was lazy and didn't learn, that he was punished to memorize scriptures here.

Gu Qingxi was idle and bored, just about to try the trick of turning nine turns into one, but accidentally hit a person with a sword.

Qin Yan only had time to feel a flash of sword energy, and his head froze, and he was knocked unconscious by him unexpectedly.

When she fell down, she didn't seem to fall on the cold snow, but heard the sound of someone's clothes flapping rapidly, and immediately, she fell into a warm embrace.

The last thing she felt was that man's warm palm covering her forehead.

That hand has distinct joints, with a clear rosin, it is a pair of... hands that do not belong to my brother.

When he woke up again, he was already on the warm bed, someone was reprimanding him loudly.Qin Yan quietly opened her eyes, and then gradually saw what Gu Qingxi who was kneeling on the ground looked like.

When he was a teenager, his eyebrows and eyes were not as eye-catching and ostentatious as they are now, but he still wore a snow-white Taoist robe elegantly.Gu Qingxi's eyebrows protrude into her temples, like the blue eyes of distant mountains, but on that supposedly cold and refined face, there is a pair of long, narrow and gentle peach blossom eyes.Even though he was accepting the master's admonition at that time, and he lowered his eyes with an honest and dignified look, Qin Yan's heart still skipped a beat.

Qin Yan admitted that at that time, she was attracted to Gu Qingxi for a moment.

But she never expected that Gu Qingxi's appearance was all used to confuse people.

After the elder brother who was finally relieved sent his master out the door, Gu Qingxi suddenly took a look outside the door, then shook his Taoist robe and stood up.

Qin Yan hurriedly closed her eyes.

She could feel that hand slowly covering her forehead again.

Fortunately, she still naively thought that this little Daoist is really good. Although he accidentally hit her, he repeatedly blamed himself for caring about her injury.

In fact, he didn't need to be like this. How powerful could that ordinary mahogany sword that was just used for practice be?It was only because she was weak that she fainted... In fact, the sword energy didn't hurt her much at all.In the end, it caused him to be severely reprimanded by the master... When she finds a time to open her eyes, she must thank her first.

Gu Qingxi's hand came to her face along her forehead, just when she couldn't help her heart beat faster and hesitated to open her eyes——

The hand suddenly twisted a little bit hard, and pulled her face out: "Where did you jump out of, the little girl? You are so weak, I didn't use [-]% of my sword at all, and I killed you like you!" It fell down like a radish? Don’t you know how to hide for a while... If you fall like this, I will have to sweep the mountain gate for a month, what a disaster... Do you know, little radish?!"

Is she a disaster? !

The girl's thoughts that were still on the verge of turmoil were instantly annihilated into ashes, as if the daoist priest who was as handsome as jade before was just an illusion, and Qin Yan was just a carrot that happened to pass by and was chopped down in his eyes... He has not yet Gracefully pinched her face while she was unconscious——

Qin Yan, who was also young and angry, couldn't bear it anymore, opened his eyes and punched those beautiful peach eyes——

In the end, she gave Gu Qingxi a panda eye firmly.

The bridge between the two of them has now been tied.

From then on, she and her brother lived in Chunyang with Gu Qingxi day and night, so she could better understand what kind of person Gu Qingxi is.The more he gets along with him, the more Qin Yan understands that he is a person who is casual by nature and does not play cards according to common sense.

Gu Qingxi was sent to this Pure Yang Palace to cultivate her self-cultivation precisely because she was stubborn since she was a child.

But Gu Qingxi seems to feel that he is an abandoned child, and there is a senior brother who is well-mannered in all aspects to set an example for him from time to time, which makes his temperament more lazy and casual.

He is not like those disciples in Chunyang Palace who are taught by a master and a model to abide by the dogma. He has his own style of doing things. Although he does not act recklessly, he always has his own fallacies.

In this way, in the years when she stayed in Chunyang Palace, because of Gu Qingxi's existence, she often fought with him, but she forgot the pain of her family being ruined just now.

Until they walked into the Haoqi League together, and entered the rivers and lakes hand in hand, Gu Qingxi was always with her.

If it wasn't for the sword... She almost thought that Gu Qingxi had never seriously thought about her, just like the impression he had of her at the beginning... In his heart, he must have felt that he was boring and not like a girl child.

The footsteps of Gu Qingxi leading her stopped abruptly.

He suddenly turned around and supported Qin Yan's shoulders, lowered his head to meet her gaze, and said softly, "Qin Xiaoyan."

Only then did Qin Yan suddenly wake up from his memories.

Gu Qingxi's eyes locked on her firmly, and there was a focus and seriousness in her eyes that she had never seen before.

What is he... trying to say?

Qin Yan was slightly looking forward to it, and also slightly nervous.

"you……"

His thin lips moved, but he only uttered this word for a long time.

Qin Yan suddenly blushed a little, afraid that he would say that sentence.Between them... After all, they have been fighting and getting along like this for so many years.

Now suddenly the atmosphere is relative - she can't help being shy.

"You... What are you going to say?" Qin Yan even wanted to run away, she felt that Gu Qingxi's gaze was burning her cheeks, and she didn't know how to deal with it.And she thought again, just now Gu Qingxi dragged her away so recklessly, her brother and the others... are still watching.

"If it's okay, I'm leaving first!" When Qin Yan realized this level, she turned around and wanted to leave in a panic, but was suddenly embraced by Gu Qingxi.

The clear scent of rosin envelops her, although this is not the first time that Gu Qingxi has hugged her like this... Qin Yan feels that this hug at this moment has a different meaning than any previous one.

Then she heard Gu Qingxi's magnetic voice softly whisper above her head: "Don't go."

Qin Yan's body was still a little stiff, but his heart suddenly fell softly.

It seems that there is a corner, waiting for someone, and now finally... waiting for the answer.

"No matter where you are going... don't leave my side. If you don't want to go back to the Haoqi League, you can go back to Huashan with me to see my master... just... don't go. If you leave with your brother like this, Then we on Tianya...maybe it will be very difficult to meet again in the future."

The breeze gently brushed the bamboo leaves, but Qin Yan didn't speak for a long time.

Only then did Gu Qingxi let go of her nervously, and observed her expression: "...how is it?"

It was only then that he realized that Qin Yan had already smiled with tears on his face: "It's so lame... Confession."

Gu Qingxi blushed at what she said, but this time she didn't refute.

"Also... I didn't intend to go with my brother at all, didn't he tell you?"

"...Then how did you think about what you said last time?"

"Yes... After discussing with my brother, I decided that Ritsuyuki would remove me from the position of captain. He felt that no matter how I choose in the future, I would be more free."

Is that so? !This... Qin Yue!Gu Qingxi almost couldn't help gritting her teeth.

"So...you won't go with them, right? Will you stay in Haoqi League?" Thinking of this, Gu Qingxi was still a little happy.

"If I don't know how to leave, I won't leave... But I don't want to go back to the Haoqi League for the time being." Qin Yan thought for a while, and said seriously.

"...Ah?" Gu Qingxi's heart sank, and the light in her eyes dimmed again.

"I want to go to Mount Hua...to see your master."

Finally, she whispered in his ear.

When Qin Yan and Gu Qingxi finally walked out of the small courtyard in the bamboo forest, Qin Yue and the others had already finished their meal, and they were sitting leisurely on the porch drinking tea, looking like they were waiting for a good show .

Gu Qingxi originally wanted to ask Qin Yue for a theory, but when he met Qin Yan's gaze quietly looking over, he still looked away unnaturally, and finally said nothing.

The two of them dodged and wanted to look at each other one more time, but they still pretended to be nonchalant in front of everyone, which made Qin Yue and the others feel even more funny.

After all, Qin Yan was a girl, and Ye Feng and Shen Luzhi were not the kind of people who would tease her when they were bored, so they all looked at each other and smiled in the end, only confirming the guesses in each other's hearts, and didn't reveal anything.

It's just that this suitcase is probably going to be divided into three parts and go on different paths.

Shen Lvzhi is glad that he came here again before leaving, and spent this short period of time with Gu Qingxi and the others.

Even if it will be farewell tomorrow, there is no regret.

Forget it—where in life do we not meet each other?

With good hopes, maybe life will be a little easier right now.
