Bamboo horse is a world-weary male protagonist

"Stop making trouble."

Mu Tingjiang looked at the two people who had been arguing for so many years, and said in a helpless tone, "We're almost at the main hall, and the teacher will hear you if you continue to fight."

As soon as the word "Master Niang" was mentioned, both Gu Xi and Yun Zhu immediately calmed down like a puppet whose switch was pressed.

A group of five people walked slowly on the mountain road, laughing and talking to each other from time to time.

They were taken in by Gu Mingyuan to study under his sect since they were young, and they got along day and night. Although there was no real blood relationship, the bond between them was deeper and stronger than that of a mortal family.

The setting sun stretched everyone's shadows very long, and the five shadows kneaded into a bright red ball, and they walked towards the main hall welcoming guests comfortably and leisurely.

"Father, mother!"

Seeing the familiar figure busy in the front hall, Gu Xi yelled with a smile, opened his arms, and ran towards the wind, trying to hug Gu Mingyuan and Shang Xue together.

Seeing that Gu Xi was running in a hurry, He Chengyuan was worried that he would tear his wound, so he also ran over.

He followed Gu Xi all the way, unconsciously raising his hands halfway in a protective posture, ready to grab someone if something went wrong.

In the end, He Chengyuan didn't need to make a move at all. As soon as Gu Xi ran to the front hall, Shang Xue pointed her finger on the forehead and couldn't make any progress, so she had to stop trying to hug.

"After today, I'll be 14 years old, and I haven't been doing a good job all day long," Shang Xue's tone seemed to be reprimanding, but in fact there was a doting smile deep in his eyes.

One year has passed, and Shang Xue can clearly see that Gu Xi has grown a lot taller, and she should be taller than her next year.

It's just that there is still a childish look on his face, and he looks like a naive young man who has never experienced any hardships.

Gu Xi only came home once a year, and with the injury this time, he hadn't had time to be mischievous when he came back. Now that Shang Xue saw him, she was naturally happy in her heart.

But she is not that kind of gentle temperament, no matter how happy she is in her heart, she still looks a little stern on the surface: "Wait until the injury is healed before making trouble, so many ribs are broken, today I will just sit and eat Your meal."

She turned her head to look at He Chengyuan who was following all the way, and waved with a smile: "He Chengyuan, come."

He Chengyuan stepped forward, bowed his hands and saluted: "I have seen my wife, I have seen my master."

Gu Mingyuan nodded when he heard the words: "Your elder brother just went out to deal with business, and he should be back in a while."

"When he comes back, don't forget to say hello to him."

He Chengyuan nodded yes.

Shang Xue stood in front of He Chengyuan and carefully looked at him from head to toe.

The young man has broad shoulders and long legs, and the contours of his face are completely elongated.The facial features are profound, and the temperament is handsome and cold.

He looks much more mature and stable than that brat in her family, and he already looks like an adult.

"Time flies so fast, it's already so big in a blink of an eye." Shang Xue recalled He Chengyuan's emaciated and thin appearance when he first came to Qianqingzong, and couldn't help but feel emotional, raised his hand and patted He Chengyuan's shoulder: "Look at it!" If there is any girl, tell the teacher directly, and the teacher will be responsible for helping you connect."

"Qian Qingzong will help you with the dowry, and you can take all the rare and rare treasures in the Treasure Pavilion as you please, which will definitely not make you timid. You are such an outstanding child, no matter what school or sect you are married to, it is more than enough. "

He Chengyuan lowered his eyes when he heard this, and said with a calm expression, "Thank you for your concern, Mrs. I don't have a girl I like."

After saying that, he quietly turned his head to look in Gu Xi's direction, and met Gu Xi's black and clear almond eyes, the corners of his lips could not help but rise slightly, his brows and eyes were full of smiles.

Shang Xue: "..."

She looked at He Chengyuan's obviously softened expression, his gentle and affectionate smile...

No matter how I look at it, I think it is the performance of having a sweetheart.

So is this kid simply shy, or does he have other plans?

Shang Xue knew in her heart that He Chengyuan was different from Gu Xi's careless kid, who always thought deeply.

So for a while, she was a little uncertain whether to continue to ask in depth, or to skip this topic and let He Chengyuan handle it by himself.

Shang Xue heard from Mu Tingjiang that he accidentally revealed that He Chengyuan probably has a girl he likes, and he has secretly liked it for many years, and has never revealed the relationship.

She didn't believe it at first, and felt that He Chengyuan was cold-tempered, and he probably didn't have that kind of thought. How could she think that he would be tempted out by her after such a test today.

Looking at the tall, straight, and delicate-looking young man in front of him.

Shang Xue was filled with emotions for a moment, and finally realized the kind of gratification and sadness that her beautiful piglet was going to tribute to other people's cabbages.

Gu Mingyuan and Shang Xue have always respected the choice of their disciples.

Whether you choose to be obsessed with cultivation, or you want to make friends with your loved one, you can stay in Qianqingzong and practice as usual.

Because they themselves did not focus on cultivating immortals, but chose to marry and have children, so they naturally understand the choice between them.

"The banquet is about to start, let's sit and rest in the front hall for a while," Shang Xue thought for a moment, looked at He Chengyuan's indifferent face, and did not continue to ask.

She and Gu Mingyuan walked to the main seat and sat down. Gu Xi, He Chengyuan, and Li Fengye found seats and sat down casually, waiting for the birthday banquet to start.

Soon, Min Zheng came back, and after greeting everyone in the room, he sat down on the seat next to Mu Tingjiang, closed his eyes and meditated.

【Because Mu Tingjiang has been busy taking care of Gu Xi's injuries recently, and the birthday party has a lot of work to do, Min Zheng feels that he has not had the opportunity to get along with her in private for a long time.

He really wanted to take the initiative to say a few words to her, but when the words came to his lips, he always felt awkward and abrupt, so he had no choice but to keep silent. 】

——"Strategy against the paranoid villain "Crossing Book""

Gu Xi: "..."

He was taken aback by what the voice said, almost spat out the tea in his mouth, and coughed chokingly.

Turning her head to look in Min Zheng's direction, Gu Xi saw that senior brother had a serious expression and was sitting in a dignified posture, doubts arose in her heart, and she said through voice transmission: "Senior senior brother, do you want to talk to second senior sister?"

Min Zheng's body shook suddenly.

The teacup in his hand was crushed, and a large area of ​​his clothes was splashed wet. He turned his head and looked at Gu Xi in shock.

"Brother, what's the matter with you?" Yunzhu happened to be sitting next to Min Zheng, seeing that Min Zheng had actually crushed the teacup, he couldn't help asking.

"Big Brother?"

"Brother, are you alright?"

Seeing that Min Zheng didn't reply to him for a while, Yun Zhu's eyes filled with panic, and he gasped.

"Brother, is there poison in the tea?"

Yun Zhu had never seen Min Zheng lose his composure, and subconsciously thought that the tea was abnormal, so he quickly poured out the tea he was holding.

Just now when Min Zheng poured tea, there was not much movement, but Yun Zhu shouted out and poured tea on the ground in a hurry, which immediately attracted the attention of everyone in the room.

Gu Mingyuan frowned: "Yunzhu, Min Zheng, what are you two doing?"

Under the suspicious eyes of everyone looking over, Min Zheng raised his hand to wipe off the tea stains on his lips, and said in a low voice, "It's okay, but I'm a little tired, I'd better go back and rest earlier today."

After the words fell, the roots of his ears turned red, and he didn't speak any more.

"It's really hard work for you," Gu Mingyuan looked at him, the eldest disciple who was dedicated to working hard for everyone in Qianqingzong, and felt emotional in his heart. He only felt that as the master of a sect, he still had a lot of inadequacies.

Seeing that the sky is already dark, the time has come.

Gu Mingyuan got up with a flick of his sleeves, and led the rest of the people in the front hall to the birthday banquet together.

All the people who came to the banquet were from sects that had good relations with Qian Qingzong, and there was no need for polite greetings among them. When the time came, the banquet would naturally be served with good wine and good food.

Everyone raised their glasses and raised their cups, loudly wishing the two young sons of Qianqingzong a happy birthday, a smooth and safe birthday, and a harmonious and festive atmosphere. Everyone had smiles on their faces.

"He Chengyuan, here you are." Gu Xi took out the birthday gift he had prepared for He Chengyuan, and slapped it on He Chengyuan's hand: "Open it and see if you like it."

He rested his two hands on his chin, and waited expectantly for He Chengyuan to open the box, but he saw He Chengyuan's slender fingers pressing on the lid of the box, and he did not move for a long time.

"What's the matter, don't you want to open it?" Gu Xi asked suspiciously.

"A little nervous," He Chengyuan smiled with downcast eyes, his voice hoarse.

"Why are you nervous about sending a congratulatory gift?"

Gu Xi looked over with an expression of "He Chengyuan, can you do it?": "If you are as nervous as you are when giving gifts, then I, who receive so many gifts every year, should just die of nervousness."

"It's different," He Chengyuan shook his head, his voice was very soft: "It's a very precious gift, you will feel nervous when you open it."

"What's the difference, aren't they all congratulatory gifts?"

Gu Xi felt puzzled, and muttered in a low voice: "And I didn't give you any valuables. It contained the sword tassels that I made by myself. Seeing that your original one is a bit old, I wanted to give you a new one."

"Could it be because I gave it as a gift, so you are so nervous and reluctant to open it?"

As soon as the words came out of her mouth, Gu Xi felt that the blood all over her body kept rushing into her brain, and her whole body was uncomfortably hot.

The meaning of these words is to say that he is special to He Chengyuan.

In particular, the congratulatory gifts that are given out are especially precious, so precious that they are reluctant to open them.

He originally wanted to joke with He Chengyuan, but after he finished speaking, he was too shy. Looking at He Chengyuan's bright and smiling eyes, he buried his head in his arms like a tortoise, and disappeared.

The fair neck was densely covered with translucent thin red, and even the roots of the ears turned into a red agate-like color.

day

What the hell is he talking about!

Just when Gu Xi was ashamed and angry, and felt ashamed to see others, one hand slowly pressed on the top of his head, and his slender and cold fingers lingered, gently stroking his hair.

He Chengyuan's voice was cold, and his voice was like soft falling snow when he spoke.

"Yes," the young man smiled coldly with glazed eyes, "Because it was a gift from Doudou, so I'm really reluctant to open it."

"Because it was sent by Doudou, everything is the most precious."

"He Chengyuan, don't make trouble!" Gu Xi became angry with embarrassment, buried her head deeper in her arms, and didn't intend to see anyone.

[Suddenly there was a huge explosion in midair, and there was the sound of flying swords piercing the sky.

Dust was flying in all directions, and the air waves caused by the magical attack full of spiritual power overturned the entire birthday banquet.

All the guests fled and fled in a panic, and the screams and roars of the mountains were endless.

Countless black, silver, and blood-colored flowers bloomed from the peak of Lingyue Peak, sweeping across the entire world.

——An enemy is coming! 】

——"Strategy against the paranoid villain "Crossing Book""

Gu Xi looked up at the sky in astonishment, and there were many inexplicable black dots in his vision.

The black dots are getting closer and closer, they seem to be people, but they don't seem to be.

He turned his head to look at He Chengyuan, wanting to tell He Chengyuan that he saw something strange.

His eyes were suddenly covered by a slender hand, and his nose was filled with a clear and bitter bergamot-like breath.

"He Chengyuan?"

a terrible cry rang out

Fingers are stained red with blood...
