Remember the glorious years of redemption of Hei Lian

After a day or two, the system came up.

[Congratulations on completing the final mission. 】The system's voice became lighter, 【The final settlement is now, please wait. 】

After the system finished speaking, a small bar popped up and slowly began to load.Qiao Xishui was eating, so he picked up his chopsticks and waited for the small bar in the system to load to the end.

Final settlement is very slow to calculate.This loading speed is like a 2G network in the deep mountains, moving forward step by step like a turtle.

Qiao Xishui turned her head to look across the bed.An Xichen was lying on the bed, and they were still in the same room. Liu Yiqing once came over and asked him if he wanted to find another room for him, and An Xichen asked him to find someone to take care of him.

Qiao Xishui declined, he said it was fine.

He was still with An Xichen.

After a while, the system beeped.

Qiao Xishui raised his head, and the system just typed out a line of words: [Thank you for trusting the Black Lotus Purification System. Currently, all the plots have been completed, and all potential hidden dangers have been cleaned up.The core character, An Xichen, has a favorability of 19999, and a whitewashing degree of 99%. 】

...still short of that one percent.

The system said: [Please take measures on your own to fill up this 1%. 】

Qiao Xishui let go of the chopsticks she was biting into her mouth, sighed, and said, "How do I know what that one percent is..."

[Now that all hidden dangers have been eliminated, most of the possibilities can be regarded as impossible, and there are very few other possibilities left. After calculation, this system determines that the host can complete it by himself. 】

Qiao Xishui: "...I'll try."

System: [Good luck, okay. 】

Qiao Xishui was really disgusted by the system's "what a da", his expression twisted, and before he could say a few more words, it quickly turned off the screen.

Qiao Xishui: "..."

Fine.

He put a mouthful of vegetables into his mouth, and while chewing, he looked at An Xichen again.

He also understood what the system said.All the possibilities he thought about at the beginning dissipated with Qu Qixiang's death, so An Xichen should have nothing to worry about.

As for what was related to him, and what he must care about, only Qiao Xishui was left.

What is An Xichen worried about?

Qiao Xishui couldn't figure it out.

After another two or three days, after Qiao Xishui's injuries healed up in sevens and eighties, he couldn't sit still any longer, so he simply set off for the capital.

Fang Ximing felt that his decision was simply inexplicable.The war had just ended, everyone was exhausted physically and mentally, and everyone wanted to die in their own beds, but he, Qiao Xishui, was uncomfortable lying down, so he had to jump up and run around.It's fine to run around blindly, and even run to a place as far away as the capital—isn't this just looking for a disease?

"What are you doing in the capital?" Fang Ximing asked him, "Can't you just stay here?"

Qiao Xishui smiled and said, "There is something to check."

Fang Ximing: "... What are you looking for?"

"My own business." Qiao Xishui said, "I will be back in a few days, so don't worry about me."

"What if you don't worry about you? The senior brother told me to take care of you, but he said he couldn't make you work harder."

It was the first time for Qiao Xishui to hear about this. He was stunned for a moment and said, "When did he say that?"

"A few days ago." Fang Ximing said, "The day his soul was scattered was the night he was turned into a puppet."

After Fang Ximing finished speaking, he felt that he couldn't let Qiao Xishui go, clicked his tongue, and said, "If you want me to tell you, don't go, if you want to go, wait for the senior brother to come back and you two go together, it will only be a little more than a month and a half thing."

Qiao Xishui smiled wryly, and said: "I'm not going to do my best this time, but I don't like to stay in the house all the time, I just go out to relax, and I'll be back in a few days."

Fang Ximing heard the words, thought about it, and felt that nothing would happen to him. Qiao Xishui persisted to this point, and he didn't bother to say any more, so he waved his hand to signal him to be casual.

Qiao Xishui said, "Thank you."

Then he went to the capital.

Beijing is still very lively.That great battle here only exists in rumors, and in the impassioned stories told by the storyteller.It's as lively as ever, but also as peaceful as ever.

Qiao Xishui went to Shizi Bridge, and stood by the bridge for a long time.The heads of a bunch of little lions on both sides of the bridge are carved with claws and teeth bared.

He was blowing the wind that came from nowhere, and he was still thinking about many things.

Thinking about it, he turned his head and glanced at those grinning little lions, thinking secretly: How ugly.

He came to investigate the dungeon.Qiao Xishui used Liu Wusheng's name to enter the dungeon once.But the place was destroyed beyond recognition, and there were no clues at all.

The dungeon was useless, so Qiao Xishui simply started with Mu Qianqiu.

He traveled to many places and inquired about many news.He left the capital, saw countless rivers, mountains and night sky, but he always felt empty along the way.

Qiao Xishui understood that he was missing someone by his side.

An Xichen was left at Duanshengmen by him.Qiao Xishui knew that he was fine, and the reason why he left was because he felt that instead of spending time with him, it would be better to come out and check what An Xichen said he wanted to investigate. By the way, he could be sober and think about what An Xichen was worried about. .

But living like a year is still the same.

49 days, a little over a month and a half.After the war, everyone was busy with the aftermath, and Qingfengmen and Duanshengmen were even more busy rebuilding their sects. For most people, this time is just fleeting.

But Qiao Xishui felt that this period of time was very long.Every morning when he woke up, he would take out a piece of paper, write something on it, and just count the days like this.

He was not used to brushes, so he drew more than 40 strokes crookedly.

Six days after reaching No.40, he went to Qingfengmen.

The steps of Qingfengmen were really long. He looked up at the long steps for a long while, and felt that he might not be able to get there until tomorrow night, so he simply squatted at the foot of the mountain.

The person did squat down for him - Fang Ximing.

When Fang Ximing saw him, he raised his brows and spoke like a mother asking for guilt: "Didn't you come back in a few days, 46 days is the few days you said?"

Qiao Xishui laughed twice: "It's more difficult to check than imagined, it took a little time."

Fang Ximing didn't ask any more questions, he grabbed Qiao Xishui's hand and said, "Let's go."

As soon as the two of them went up the mountain, they saw Chi Xikong directing people to hang up a plaque, on which the words "Qingfengmen" radiated golden light, and the light was infinite.

"A bit to the left... that's right! Well, let's take this position!" Chi Xikong said, "This is the middle! Hang it!"

After the plaque was hung up, Chi Xikong said something to the two Duansheng Sect disciples, and the two nodded, then turned and went back to the mountain gate.

Chi Xikong was not in a hurry to go back, she looked up at the plaque, and stared blankly at the words Qingfengmen for a long time.

It wasn't until Fang Xi yelled at her two or three times that she turned around and saw Qiao Xishui there, and hurriedly said, "It's you! You're back!"

Qiao Xishui hummed as an answer, and asked, "Has the sect been established?"

"No." Fang Ximing said, "Although head Liu has given many people here, we all feel that since we want to rebuild, it is better to abandon the previous one and build a brand new one. We have been discussing for a while, and this Half built."

Qiao Xishui asked: "Then after you discuss it, what do you plan to build?"

"...In the end, nothing was changed, just as it was. I finally found out that the changes were messy, and it was better to build the original... or the old ancestors were shrewd."

Qiao Xishui couldn't hold back, laughed, and didn't say anything more about it after the laugh, and asked, "Where is An Xichen, are you still breaking the Shengmen?"

"I brought my brother back a long time ago." Fang Ximing said, "Qingfengmen couldn't do him any favors, so I want to make up for him a little more...even if it's just to take good care of him for a few days."

Qiao Xishui hummed, but didn't say much.

Chi Xikong came over and asked, "Are you going to take a look?"

Qiao Xishui said: "Of course I did."

The two of them went to An Xichen's room.

While leading him away, Chi Xikong said: "Senior brother locked up all the disciples who said they were going to kill the container. He would rather borrow people from the head of Guan Liu than ask them to help. He said that after Senior Brother An came back, Either apologize to him, or just get the hell out of here."

"...It's kind of like him."

"He's guilty." Chi Xikong laughed, "He didn't join the battle during the battle, and he didn't help much afterwards. By the way, I heard that Chu Wuji resigned from the position of suzerain, Xu regretted it." Ru was beaten up by Master Cang Ran, and was even brought to Qingfengmen before, and apologized to us."

Qiao Xishui's eyebrows twitched when he heard this: "Isn't Cang Ran a monk? Why is he..."

"He is very nosy." Chi Xikong said with a smile, "Afterwards, Xu Huirui also resigned from the suzerain position when he returned home. Maybe he felt it was too embarrassing."

After saying these few words, the two came to the door of An Xichen's room.

Chi Xikong said, "It's here."

After she finished speaking, she pushed open the door, and the room was brightly lit. The window was opened with a slit, and a few rays of light came in through the slit.An Xichen lay on the bed, his hands hanging from the edge of the bed.

Qiao Xishui walked over, stuffed his hands into the quilt, and turned to look at the whole room.It was the same room as the one he had at the time.But both the desk and the bookshelf are empty, as if it is a newly vacated room.

Knowing that he couldn't hide it from him, Chi Xikong simply said: "Before, he deceived his master and exterminated his ancestors, so we destroyed his room long ago and didn't keep it for him. All his clothes and everything were thrown into the open space behind the mountain Burn it, nothing remains."

Qiao Xishui was silent for a moment, remembering that there were some clothes in An Xichen's closet that he had worn when he was still in Qingfengmen.

He soon understood what was going on.At a certain moment, he seemed to see An Xichen hurriedly pulling out the clothes that hadn't been burned in time from the fire, and then hugging the few floating cranes, he didn't have time to look at the burns on his hands, for fear of being discovered He, a traitor, appeared at Qingfengmen, so he hurriedly stumbled and ran back.

He wasn't crazy to begin with.

Maybe Qu Qixiang asked him to take a look that day, so that he could give up.

Chi Xikong said: "Let's go, I'll arrange a room for you to sleep in."

"No need." Qiao Xishui said, "I'll do it here."

"...This bed is very narrow."

"It's okay." Qiao Xishui smiled at her and said, "I just want to stay here, and I can sleep on a chair."

Chi Xikong stopped talking.

After she didn't speak for a long time, the air fell into a strange silence.

After a long time, Qiao Xishui also noticed that something was wrong, turned to look at her, and asked, "What's wrong?"

After he asked this sentence, he realized that there was something wrong with Chi Xikong's eyes.There are doubts, incomprehensions, and many unexplainable things.

"I……"

"..."

She hesitated to speak for a moment, then paused, opened her mouth again, and said, "I...Actually, I have something to ask you."

Qiao Xishui was stunned for a moment, and said, "Ask, I will tell you if I can answer it."

"Well."

Chi Xikong pursed his lips, looked at him and asked, "Young Master Qiao, I have never really understood."

"You seem to have been by my brother's side all the time. Even if you changed your body later, you didn't leave, you came back. You are just a mortal. To be honest, it is very dangerous for ordinary people to come back Even if you don't come back, no one will blame you, even if you choose to come back after the war, the senior brother will not blame you."

Qiao Xishui: "..."

"Don't you have any family members of your own?" Chi Xikong said, "Obviously we are all here, and there are so many people who want to save him. To be offensive, everyone is more useful than you as a mere mortal. You work so hard, but in the end You may lose yourself. You are a smart person, it is impossible not to weigh yourself... Even so, you have risked your life to do so much, what are you planning?"

"Where did you come from? Why didn't you tell about yourself?"

"You didn't say it...or can't you say it?"

After she finished asking these questions, Qiao Xishui was silent for a long time.

All I could hear was the howling of the wind outside.

After a while, Qiao Xishui sighed, looked up and said with a smile, "There are a lot of questions."

Chi Xikong: "..."

"How should I put it?" Qiao Xishui scratched the hair on the back of his head and said, "Actually, I just don't want to say it."

"The main reason is that among such a group of monks, I can't talk about my own bad things. And the family ugliness cannot be exposed. Although it is all my business now, I feel ashamed."

"I have a few friends, but they rarely see each other. Whether I'm here or not doesn't matter to them."

"As for what I'm planning..."

"...I just feel that I have to do this. If I don't do this and don't work hard, then I will be sorry for him, I will have no face to see him again, and I am not worthy to stand beside him."

"I can't be sorry for him. If I'm sorry for him, then I'm a bastard who deserves death."
