"Big fire?" The smile on the man's face stopped, "It seems that after I left Lone Star Village, something happened in the village."

Wen Xia looked at the other party indifferently.Then the man in black said again: "I left Lone Star Manor on the night after the banquet. I don't know what happened to Lone Star Manor. Can you let me know?"

Wen Xia thought for a moment, and said, "A big fire burned most of Zhuangzi."

The man in black nodded thoughtfully, "Fortunately, I left early..."

Wen Xia said: "Yes, Your Excellency really has the ability to foretell."

The man in black came back to his senses, looked at him with a smile, and said, "It's not a prophet, it's just that because I offended Mr. Miaoyinqing in the courtyard that day, it's inconvenient to stay in the manor, which offended the immortal."

Wen Xia looked away, obviously not interested in this person's explanation, "Oh, it seems that your Excellency just happened to escape a disaster."

"Who said it wasn't? I escaped with the crooked beating." The man in black took a few steps closer to Wen Xia'er. If something goes wrong, I hope the boy can tell me a thing or two."

Wen Xia'er gave the man in black a suspicious look, "If you want to investigate, you might as well go back to Lone Star Manor in person, and the truth will come to light by then."

Hearing this, the man in black pursed his lips and smiled even more, and said in a slow voice: "I'm just a random question from Lu Yutong. Although I'm not talented, I know that things like curiosity often make people fall into deep water. It’s not uncommon to end up putting your own fortune and life on the line.”

Wen Xia said, "Your Excellency is a sensible person."

The man in black said: "It's not a boy."

The last loud noise crossed the long night, the brilliant colors above the head dimmed, the fireworks dispersed, the sound disappeared, and the sky returned to the boundless and silent black color.

The man in black looked up at the sky above, then lowered his head to look at Wen Xia, and said with some regret, "The fireworks are over tonight."

Wen Xia nodded and said, "It's time to go back."

At the stall where the fireworks show ended, the crowd gathered on the street had begun to slowly spread out in all directions, heading for the return journey.

The man in black didn't show any sign of wanting to leave, he just said: "On the top of the moon, I don't know if I will have the honor to go to the center of the lake for a drink with the boy."

After he finished speaking, he raised his finger and pointed to the surface of the lake not far away. The lake is usually used for the people in Mo Nan City to enjoy the river lanterns. Tonight, because the fireworks were set off in the city, no one lit the lanterns. There is only one on the quiet lake. The leaf boat swayed slightly on the lake with the sound of the water.

Wen Xia glanced at the boat from afar, and through the silk-covered cabin, she could clearly see the candles burning in the cabin, as if she had already prepared for it.

"Boy, please." The man in black slightly bowed his head in the direction of the lake and made a "please" gesture.Wen Xia looked away and turned to look at the other party, saying: "Your Excellency's gesture, are you forcing me to board the boat?"

The man in black smiled slightly, and calmly replied: "How dare you, I just hit it off with the boy, and I want to make friends with the boy, and ask the boy to show me your face, don't refuse me."

Wen Xia'er said in a lukewarm way: "Your Excellency and I have only met each other a few times. If your boat is a thief's boat, if I get on it easily, there is no guarantee that I will lose everything."

The man in black stared at Wen Xia, with unfathomable emotions floating in his eyes, he was speechless for a moment, then suddenly stepped forward a few steps and reached out to press Wen Xia's shoulder, Wen Xia raised his eyebrows, Turning around to dodge, unexpectedly, the other party seemed to have expected his reaction, and suddenly let go of the hand on his shoulder.

Just when Wen Xia'er was feeling suspicious, the black-clothed man tapped his toes on the ground, and then flew quickly behind him, Wen Xia's heart was ringing with alarm, and he raised his hand to draw a talisman to hit the person behind him , but he paused when he was about to draw out the red talisman. Whether this person is an enemy or a friend is temporarily unknown, and his identity cannot be revealed yet.

He hesitated for a moment and then took a step back. The other party stood behind him without any muddling. He repeated his trick and held down his shoulders again, leaving him no time to breathe. He led him through the night to the lake. The boat parked in my heart departs——

Wen Xiaer wanted to kick the man into the lake on the way, but felt that the man's speech and behavior were very weird, and it didn't look right no matter what, so he calmed down and watched the other party's subsequent actions before making plans.

The cultivation level of this man in black is unknown to Wen Xiaer for the time being, but it is not difficult to see from the short fight just now that this is a monk with a good figure and movement. The bustling streets flew over the small boat.

The boat was not big, and two men suddenly stood up on the boat, so they were bumped and began to sway back and forth on the lake.

Wen Xia'er almost lost his footing and fell into the lake. The man in black pressed harder on his shoulders and dragged him back up without any danger.

After the ship stabilized, he let go of his hand suddenly, bent slightly and lifted the corner of the curtain covering the cabin, looked at Wen Xia and said, "Boy, please."

Wen Xiaer stood still, didn't say anything or couldn't say anything, the other party didn't urge her, but the hand holding the corner of the curtain didn't move a single bit.

Wen Xia patted the wrinkled clothes that were caught on the shoulder, then bent over and opened the other corner of the curtain, and walked in. The man in black smiled when he saw it, followed closely behind without saying anything.

The boat is small, and the cabin is also small. There is a small boxy desk across the middle of the cabin, and a futon is placed on each side of the desk, which occupies most of the cabin.

Wen Xiaer picked a futon closest to her and sat down cross-legged. The man in black walked behind him, and sat in the middle of the road as soon as he saw him coming. The narrow path on the side is really difficult to pass without deliberately leaning on the body.

Wen Xia put her hands on the desk to support her cheeks, turned her head and revealed half of her face to look at the other party, and said, "Your Excellency is like the wind, no matter what kind of environment you are in, you can be calm and comfortable."

The man in black was not annoyed when he heard the words, but smiled and said: "Accept the boy's praise, I will definitely live up to the boy's expectations."

After he finished speaking, he bent down, lowered his head and walked sideways from the narrow path on the right.

It seemed a bit ridiculous for a young man to move forward in such a posture. Wen Xier tilted his head and watched him pass by his right. Just as he was about to pass by him, the other man suddenly raised his head and looked at him. He cast a gentle smile.

Wen Xia raised her eyebrows, and said inwardly that she was bored.

The man in black sat on the futon opposite him, and took out a wine jug and two wine cups from under the desk, he filled the two wine cups, and then pushed one of them to Wen Xier, " I offended the boy just now, and I apologize to the boy with a glass of thin wine." After saying that, he picked up the wine cup in front of him and drank it down in one gulp.

Wen Xia reached out to pick up the wine cup and held it in her hand, shook the cup, but didn't drink a drop, "Your Excellency said one moment that he wanted to make friends with me, and the next moment he used strong methods to capture me. In this boat, Your Excellency's thoughts... I, a little sword boy, really can't figure it out."

The man in black picked up the jug and refilled it for himself, saying: "If I don't use this method, I think the boy will definitely not want to be in the same room with me."

"Oh?" Wen Xia pretended to be surprised, "Why do you think so?"

The man in black took a sip of his wine and said calmly, "Guess."

The only lighting in the cabin is the oil lamp on the table. At this moment, the boat they are in is shaking the boat with the ripples of the lake, and the flame burning on the oil lamp flickers uncontrollably with the shaking of the boat. , the light flickers on and off, dazzling fiercely.

Wen Xia frowned slightly, and looked away from the oil lamp.

The man in black silently raised his hand to caress the body of the boat, and the shaking body instantly became stable. The boat turned around and went smoothly along the lower reaches of the lake.

His eyes fell on the wine cup that Wen Xiaer was playing with, and he said, "Boy, you don't have to be so guarded against me."

Wen Xia also turned her gaze to the wine cup in her hand, "We have talked so far, but you haven't even told me your name. How can I drink this glass of wine with peace of mind?"

The man in black paused, and said, "I was the one to be rude."

Wen Xia shook her head, pretending to be listening respectfully, and waited for the other party to report her name.

The man in black didn't hide anymore, he only heard him say slowly: "My name is Yuegu."

"Yue Gu..." Wen Xia whispered again.

Yue Gu said: "But what's wrong?"

Wen Xia raised her head to look at Yue Gu, and smiled, "There's nothing wrong with it, I just think these two words match your Excellency very well."

"Really." Yue Gu drank the remaining wine in the cup and said, "I wonder if the boy has a better impression of me after hearing my name?"

Wen Xia looked at the clear wine in the cup, and after a moment of silence, raised the wine in the cup and took a sip, "Brother Yue Gu cares about your impression in my heart?"

Yue Gu said calmly: "I want to make friends with the boy, so I care about it."

Wen Xia let out a soft oh, then drank the rest of the wine in the cup and said, "It tastes good."

Yue Gu smiled, picked up the wine cup and was about to refill it for him, Wen Xiaer stretched out his hand without hesitation, and let the other party fill it up for him, but his eyes scrutinized the other party's face unscrupulously.

Yue Gu was sized up by him, and there was no sign of dodge on his face. Wen Xia stared at Yue Gu for a while, and then suddenly said, "Have we met before?"

After pouring the wine for him, Yue Gu put down the jug, looked at him, and asked, "I've seen it before, the boy and I first met in the courtyard of Lone Star Manor, and then met at the banquet. Today, I met again by chance at the Mo Nan Fireworks Festival. Yuegu feels that he and the boy have a great fate."

Wen Xia turned around the cup full of wine in his hand and didn't answer, a drop of wine flowed out along the rim of the cup, slipped past his fingertips, and dripped down the palm of his hand onto the table.

Seeing this, Yuegu didn't continue talking, and drank quietly.

The boat had stopped at a secluded place downstream, and the surroundings were quiet and undisturbed. Mo Nan City, which had turned off the lights, fell into a gloomy night again.

The two people on the boat had a drink with each other, and there was no conversation for a while.

The wine in the jug couldn't withstand the two of them drinking so much, one jug of wine soon ran out, and when Yue Gu saw it, he immediately took out two jars of wine from under the desk, and handed one to Wen Xier, and the other The other jar was opened directly, and he hugged the jar and drank it.

Wen Xia was stunned for a moment, then lifted the lid and started to drink. He drank a little violently, some of the wine was poured out before it could reach his mouth, and slid down his jaw, getting wet. placket.

The way the two of them were drinking at the moment, they didn't look like people who were invited to taste wine, but rather like a hard drinker who was addicted to alcohol. They tried their best to see who could drink the other down first.

After a while, Wen Xia put down the wine jar first. He has a normal capacity for alcohol, and he feels a little overdone after drinking it. He wiped the remaining liquid from the corner of his mouth, and hiccupped uncontrollably.

The wine hiccup sounded very abruptly in the quiet cabin, Yue Gu paused while drinking, then put down the wine jar, looked at Wen Xia, but saw that the other party's face was already full of red, and his eyes were erratic, so he asked : "The boy is drunk."

Wen Xia patted his chest, and said word by word: "You're in the wine, aren't you, drugged?"

Yue Gu was stunned for a moment, then laughed and said, "Why do you think so?"

Wen Xia snorted, put her hand on her forehead, and asked, "What time is it?"

Yue Gu said: "Zi Shi."

Wen Xia frowned impatiently, put one hand on the desk, and stood up with strength, "I should go back..."

Yue Gu also stood up from the futon, walked towards Wen Xiaer, and said, "Where are you going back, I will take you there."

Wen Xia waved his hand, mumbled a few words vaguely, Yue Gu couldn't hear him clearly, and was about to send him out of the cabin, when he saw the other person's figure swaying and fell straight on his back. Gu Yue raised his hand to support him, and put Wen Xia'er's head firmly and flat on the futon.

Wen Xia'er opened her eyes and looked at the top of the boat in a daze, "I'll finish the drink first."

Yue Gu walked across the table, found a place to sit down, looked down at Wen Xia, "Well, you won."

Wen Xia's eyelids blinked a few times, as if he was extremely drowsy, he raised his hand and rubbed his eyes, and then regained a bit of sobriety.

Seeing this, Yue Gu said, "Sleep if you're sleepy."

Wen Xia stretched out a finger and shook it lightly in mid-air, "I'll fall right into your arms when you're asleep, and I won't be able to resist if you eat me alive..."

Yue Gu smiled and said, "Why should I swallow you alive? I'm not a scourge that eats human flesh and drinks human blood."

Wen Xia laughed lightly, but didn't speak, but her eyes were inadvertently and slowly closed between the hull of the boat and the swaying lights.

Yue Gu sat quietly by the side, watching Wen Xia's breath gradually become stable and fell into a deep sleep, her gaze inadvertently touched the big deep red mark on the front of the other's skirt, and the smile on her face gradually disappeared.

He took off his outer shirt, put it on the sleeping Wen Xia'er soundlessly, and poured out his spiritual energy to lightly touch the hull of the boat, and the boat turned around again, and moved slowly in the same direction as it came and went.

Yue Gu blew out the burning oil lamp on the desk, and quietly walked out of the cabin.

He stood on the bow of the boat with his hands waving, looking at the boundless night in the city, his face was like calm water, calm and without waves, just like the lake surface under his feet, except for a few imperceptible dark streaks, he could not hear a single sound.

He suddenly stretched out his fingertips, gathered his spiritual energy and gestured a few times at the bow of the ship. After finishing, he looked back at the position of the cabin, and then he moved and disappeared into the long night.

Wen Xiaer, who should have fallen into a deep sleep, lifted the curtain at this moment, and leaned out from the cabin, but saw the empty bow, and there was no one else.

He walked out of the cabin with a frown, and he didn't care if the outer shirt he was wearing fell on the ground. He went straight to the bow of the boat, and saw the top clearly through the dim moonlight above his head.

On the smooth side of the boat, someone carved two words with a sharp object: Farewell.

"Inexplicable." Wen Xia couldn't help cursing after seeing the words on it.

He purposely pretended to be drunk just to see what this self-proclaimed Yue Gu wanted to do, but he didn't expect that the other party would run away without a sound. Could it be that he pretended to be too unreal to be discovered by the other party?

Wen Xia thought to herself for a while, and she couldn't rule out the possibility, but in this way, not only did she not understand what Yuegu was coming from, she also didn't understand why the other party deliberately approached him.

Wen Xia turned around and returned to the cabin, relit the oil lamp on the table, bent down and found the wine jar that he had put aside casually, put it on the tip of his nose and sniffed it, feeling an indescribable feeling.

He found the wine cup containing the wine and took a closer look, and found that it was just an ordinary object and there was nothing strange about it, so he put it down.

Wen Xia'er leaned against the hull of the boat and rested her hands on the back of her head. She looked at the sky and meditated for a while, but she couldn't think of anything.

At this moment, the hull of the boat suddenly stopped, and then retreated a bit as if it had been hit by something. Wen Xia got up and walked out of the cabin, only to find that the boat had returned to the street where he landed.

He lifted his foot to the shore, and when he moved, he suddenly saw a black coat left at the entrance of the cabin, hesitating whether to use that coat as a starting point for finding the identity of Yuegu, and that coat would be useless. The wind automatically flew up from the boat, and Shi Shiran put it on Wen Xia'er's shoulder.

Wen Xia couldn't help but twitched her brows, and was about to tear off the outer shirt from her shoulders and throw it back into the boat, but held back, crumpled it into a ball and held it in her hands.

When he returned to the inn, the sky was already bright, but the door of the inn was still tightly closed, so Wen Xia planned to turn upstairs and go back to his room.

The rooms of the three of them are next to each other on the second floor, he lives in the third room, Jun Ling Shen lives in the second room, and Chi Wei lives in the fourth room.

Wen Xia'er stood in the alley and glanced up. After finding his room, he jumped up. After he stood on a tile, he opened the window slowly and was about to turn over and enter, but saw There is a person sitting upright on the chair facing the window.

It's Jun Lingshen.

Startled by the movement he made, Jun Lingshen opened his eyes immediately.

Wen Xia looked at Jun Lingshen and blinked, and asked, "Did I go wrong?"

Jun Ling's face was as heavy as water, his lips were closed without saying a word, and he only looked at him from a distance with his eyes.

Wen Xia was speechless inwardly, closed the window and was about to run to the room on the left. Just as he was about to close the window tightly, Jun Ling's deep voice came from inside the room, "Come in."

Wen Xia paused for a moment, opened the window again without thinking much, turned over and jumped into the room, and did not forget to close the window after entering the room.

He stood by the window and asked, "What's the matter with letting me in?"

Jun Ling pondered for a while, and said, "Why did you come back so late?"

Wen Xiaer took out a lot of Lingshi bags from her bosom, walked up to Jun Lingchen and handed them to Jun Lingshen, "I just wandered around for a while. It was so late when I came back."

Jun Ling Shen didn't even look at the bag of spirit stones, his eyes fell directly on Wen Xia'er's face, and after a while, he said, "Wen Yang, you promised me that you would come back sooner."

Wen Xia snorted, and avoided Jun Lingshen's sight with some guilt.

He originally planned to go back home after watching the fireworks show, but he ran away for a month alone and dragged him to the boat. During the conversation, he intentionally or unintentionally tried to test the other party, and forgot about Mr. Ling Chen's request, and after drinking some wine, he completely forgot about it.

Jun Lingshen exposed him mercilessly, "You went to drink."

Wen Xia's body was still full of alcohol, a normal person could smell it, he nodded frankly, and hummed, "I spent a little of the Lingshi, but there are still a lot left." He held the Lingshi with his hand again. Handed it to Jun Lingchen.

Jun Ling looked down, and after he glanced at the left hand holding the spirit stone, he turned his gaze to his right hand, which was clenched into a fist.

He asked, "What are you holding in your right hand?"

Wen Xia opened her palm, revealing a crumpled coat, "Clothes."

Although this outer shirt has been scuffed so that it cannot be seen the original shape, it is not difficult to see that it is a man's clothes based on the color and the pattern on the shirt.

Jun Lingchen glanced at the shirt and said, "It's not yours."

Hearing this, Wen Xiaer felt inexplicably that he was like a criminal who had committed some serious crime at this moment, and Jun Lingshen was the one who interrogated him. If Jun Lingshen asked, he had to answer, but Wen Xiaer thought Seeing that he didn't do anything out of the ordinary other than coming back later.

He pursed his lips, and put the Lingshi bag into Jun Lingchen's hands respectfully, "It's true that it's not mine, but thanks to Mr. Miaoyinqing for donating the bag generously, I will be the first one to repay Miao when I become rich in the future." Mr. Yinqing. There are still a few hours before dawn, so I won't disturb Mr. Miao Yinqing to rest, so I will take my leave."

After finishing speaking, he was about to leave the room and go to his own room, but Jun Lingchen called out at this moment: "Wen Yang."

Wen Xia said, "Master Miaoyinqing, what else is there to do?"

Jun Ling looked at him calmly for a long time, but the next moment, she stood up from the chair, but passed him by, and walked out of the room before him.

The door creaked and was closed tightly. Wen Xia stood in a daze for a moment, then raised her head to look around the room, and suddenly realized that this room seemed to be his room... ..

A bold thought suddenly popped up in his mind, did Jun Lingshen wait for him in his room without sleep all night?

Just like the night when he found Ruan Mu Midao imprisoned in Guxing Village, Jun Lingshen also waited for him in his room for half the night.

Wen Xia looked at the closed door, and suddenly felt some inexplicable emotions in his heart. He had never understood Jun Lingchen, and it seemed to be the same this time.

He rubbed the corner of his forehead, glanced out of the corner of his eye at the frost-colored Lingshi bag that was left aside, reached out to pick it up, weighed it in his hand, turned around and walked towards the bed, "I can't afford it..."
