Lu Xueqi [Zhu Xian]

Qingyun Mountain, Xiaozhu Peak.

The mountain wind blew through the green bamboo forest, bringing up waves of bamboo waves, which echoed in the secluded forest in the empty valley.

The sky was cloudless, a blue light passed through the bamboo forest path, and quietly landed on the small bamboo house where Master Shuiyue practiced quietly.

Lu Xueqi's face was haggard, she swayed and swayed, walked to the door, knocked lightly on the door, and said, "Master, Xueqi begs to see you." After that, she finally fell to the ground helplessly, with cold sweat on her snow-white forehead Dripping down, even the crimson cinnabar between the eyebrows dimmed.

There was the sound of footsteps in the house, and Shuiyue seemed to be aware of it and walked out quickly.

"Xueqi, what's wrong with you..." Shuiyue pushed open the door, and saw Lu Xueqi lying outside the door, that snow-white figure curled up slightly, trembling faintly.

Shuiyue's heart sank suddenly, she stretched out her hand distressed and restless, and touched that pale and haggard little face, the tentacles were icy cold, Shuiyue frowned, bent over and hugged Lu Xueqi into the room.

Wan Jianyi, who was sitting cross-legged on the bamboo couch, watched Shuiyue bring Lu Xueqi in, was stunned, quickly walked down, and greeted her.

"Did something happen?" Wan Jianyi looked at Lu Xueqi who was in Shuiyue's arms with her eyes closed, her pale lips, slightly frowning brows, a few strands of hair scattered from her forehead in a mess, her little face was haggard. The paleness really surprised him.

Shuiyue gently placed Lu Xueqi in front of the bed, took a deep breath, and said: "I saw her yesterday and she was fine, and she said she was going to retreat for a year, why did she become like this after one night, it must be Something terrible happened."

Wan Jianyi nodded silently, stretched out his hand from his sleeve, and slowly put it on Lu Xueqi's wrist pulse. He looked at Shuiyue.

Shuiyue's heart skipped a beat, and somehow she also stretched out her hand to put on Lu Xueqi's slender wrist.

The light came in from the window of the bamboo house, illuminating this exquisite and simple bamboo house brightly, Master Shuiyue's face became very ugly, with pain and hatred on his face, the phoenix eyes lightly twisted, and said coldly: " Zhang Xiaofan, damn Zhang Xiaofan, I must kill him!"

Wan Jian's expression was serious, he didn't know how to speak for a moment, he just gently put his arms around Shuiyue's shoulders, as if to calm her emotions.

The smoke was lingering and drifting slowly, Lu Xueqi faintly woke up, and suddenly opened her eyes to look at Wan Jianyi who was standing in front of the bed.

"Master Wan..." Lu Xueqi sat up weakly, and said in a low voice, "...where is my master?"

"Your master is standing outside the door." Wan Jianyi said lightly, glanced outside the door, and said with a gentle smile: "She was very sad and angry because of your injury just now, I asked her to stand outside the door Yes, take it easy."

Lu Xueqi stared blankly at the door, and in her black eyes, her thoughts flickered but bottomless.

Wan Jianyi didn't know why, sighed, turned and walked out the door, after a while, Shuiyue walked back into the house alone.

The two masters and apprentices looked at each other silently, silently.

Shuiyue looked at Lu Xueqi, silent for a long time, there seemed to be some complicated emotions in her eyes, and her eyes flickered non-stop. After a long while, she coughed lightly.

Lu Xueqi wanted to get out of bed to salute as if she was alarmed, but was stopped by Shuiyue with a wave of her hand.

Master Shuiyue's eyes were full of pity, he pulled the quilt on Lu Xueqi's body with his hands, and said softly: "Your body is too weak, you are not enough in energy and blood, just lie down and sleep for a while."

Lu Xueqi bowed her head and said, "Thank you, Master, for your concern."

Shuiyue glanced at her, sighed, and said, "Do you have some resentment for being a teacher?"

Lu Xueqi was taken aback, and said, "Master, why do you say that?"

Shuiyue said indifferently: "Then why didn't you tell me anything, you have that body...but you still keep it from me? I don't know if it's God's will tricking people, you and Zhang Xiaofan have twists and turns, but always..."

Lu Xueqi's expression darkened, but she shook her head slowly, and said: "Master, don't talk about it, this disciple has already figured it out clearly in his heart, I have nothing to do with him, whether it's family rules, or common people's morals are different from him. , I think it’s God’s will, I can’t force it.”

Speaking of this, she raised her head silently, looked at Master Shuiyue, smiled sadly, and said, "Master, can I ask you one thing?"

Master Shuiyue felt a pain in her heart. Based on her experience, she believed that Lu Xueqi wanted to keep concealing the matter of the blood in her abdomen and bear it alone. However, this matter was too unexpected and there was no room for change. Although she was determined in the past Against the feelings of this stubborn disciple, but at this moment, after all, I couldn't bear it.

But no matter how unbearable it was, it was useless in the end. Master Shuiyue sighed softly, shook his head, and said softly: "Xue Qi, don't be too sad, don't hurt your body."

Lu Xueqi forced a smile, and said in a low voice: "Master, can you go to the Big Bamboo Peak to meet Uncle Suru?"

Shuiyue's complexion changed slightly, she couldn't help but also frowned, and asked: "What? Did something happen to your Master Uncle Suru?"

Lu Xueqi's lips trembled slightly, tears welled up in her eyes, she lowered her head and said in a low voice: "It's Master Tian, ​​he...he's dead."

Shuiyue's body shook, her expression seemed to be unbelievably shocked, she looked at Lu Xueqi, and slowly listened to her silently explain the ins and outs of the incident.

After hearing this, Shuiyue's face was a bit dignified and a bit deliberate, she pondered for a moment, the corners of her mouth moved, and finally turned into a wordless sigh, turned around and walked out the door again.

"what?"

Wan Jianyi's deep voice came from outside the door, Shuiyue shook her head, not wanting Lu Xueqi to hear any more uncomfortable words, she stretched out her hand to hold Wan Jianyi and walked out, gradually walking away.
