Abandoned Immortals

Sibei City was indeed bustling and bustling. Yu Lianxin and his party walked into the city, and a strong atmosphere of fireworks rushed over them.

The main street is full of small stalls, ranging from leather cloth to gold, silver and jade wares. The vendors shout one after another, and passers-by stop in front of the stalls from time to time to bargain with the vendors.

The stall owner cried out for grievances, but still let go of the price, and the passers-by bought something they were satisfied with and left happily.

There is no summer in the northern region, and it is freezing all day long. The people in Sibei City are wrapped in thick leather cloaks, and the hats on their heads almost cover their entire faces, except for a pair of eyes that are red from the wind.

Even so, they couldn't resist their enthusiasm for life.

The flames of war have not yet reached this land, and the people here live and work in peace and contentment, singing and dancing.

Fang Juenian paused for a while, looked up at the bustling street scene in the distance, his expression was in a trance for a moment.

Every time she returns to Sibei, this scene always reminds her of the times when she was in Xuangong.

Her hometown is already a place she can't go back to. Her parents, younger brother, and the tens of thousands of brothers and sisters in the Xuanbao barracks have become distant memories.

Presumably, this was the reason and selfishness that she insisted on setting her residence in Sibei when discussing with Yin Qingxue.

Yin Qingxue didn't understand, but Yu Lianxin and Que Qingyun, who had been to the Xuan Palace, were blessed to the heart, and instantly realized Fang Juinian's mood.

"Sibei City is very beautiful." Yu Lian sighed sincerely.

Que Qingyun didn't make a sound, but the expression on his calm face suddenly softened a lot.

"I also think that Fang Juenian has the vision!" Yin Qingxue said with a smile, picked a bunch of candied haws from the side of the road, and threw two copper coins to the old man who set up the stall.

She habitually handed the candied haws to Fang Juinian, letting Fang Juinian take the first bite, but Fang Juinian blushed instantly, and gently pushed her wrist, letting her eat by herself.

The candied haws were pushed away lightly, Yin Qingxue realized it later, gave Yu Lianxin a sideways glance at the two of them embarrassedly, retracted her hand pretending nothing happened, took a big bite of the candied haws.

Yu Lianxin and Que Qingyun acted as if they hadn't seen anything, and Fang Juinian led the way, introducing Sibei City's customs and customs to them.

They passed through the city and reached a forest in the south of the city, and the courtyard they bought was located deep in the dense forest.

There is also a thick layer of snow in the forest, and occasionally one or two birds fly by, shaking off the snow on the branches.

The last time they left was a few months ago, the yard was not cleaned, the snow on the roof was half a foot thick, and the dust on the tables and chairs inside the house also accumulated a thick layer.

Yin Qingxue called Yu Lianxin and the two into the house to rest, while Fang Juinian got busy spontaneously, cleaning the courtyard, taking out the damp bedding from the cabinet to dry and ventilate.

Yu Lian watched Fang Juinian busily busy, and then saw Yin Qingxue sitting and drinking tea as a matter of course, knocked on the table with some headaches, and reminded: "Aren't you going to help?"

"Ah?" Yin Qingxue didn't understand Yu Lian's intentions, she blinked her eyes in confusion, "What can I do for you?"

Yu Lianxin then set up a shelf in the yard, and the person who wanted to dry the bedding raised his chin.

Yin Qingxue half-understood, said "oh" softly, then poured a glass of water from the table and sent it to Fang Juinian.

Fang Juenian didn't expect her to come out, so he said unexpectedly: "Why are you here, aren't you going to catch up with Master Yu and the others?"

As she said that, she glanced at the cup full of tea in Yin Qingxue's hand, and suddenly understood something, and asked, "Did you bring me water specially?"

"That's right." Yin Qingxue narrowed her eyes with a smile, "Are you moved?"

Fang Juenian laughed, and replied: "I am touched, but I am not thirsty, you can drink."

Yin Qingxue didn't feel that her trip was in vain, she stood beside Fang Juinian and drank more than half of the tea in one gulp.

Fang Juinian touched her shoulder, motioning for her to step aside, and she obediently retreated to the stone steps, not blocking Fang Juinian's path.

In the room, Yu Lian and Xin sat at the table and witnessed this scene, they were stunned.

How did Fang Juenian spoil Yin Qingxue?

The big and small things in this yard are all handled by Fang Juinian. Yin Qingxue usually sits in front of the steps and watches Commander Fang busy. At most, she pulls out her hand to peel a fruit to reward Fang Juinian for his hard work.

Yu Lian turned her head to look at Que Qingyun, who was holding a teacup and taking a sip of clear tea.

Unexpectedly, Yu Lian's heart suddenly became yin and yang: "Xue'er has a good life, she is not like a disciple, she is a poor wretch."

Que Qingyun squinted at her with beautiful eyes, annoyed and funny at the same time, snorted softly, and asked her: "You mean that the teacher treats you badly?"

Yu Lian rolled her eyelids in her heart and pretended, "My disciple didn't say that."

In her memory, since her reincarnation in previous lives, she was the one who took the initiative when getting along with her master. Que Qingyun also doted on her, but he also treated her coldly and silently shook her face several times.

It's like last time in the Dongming Clan Code, Master still pretended not to know her.

It makes me angry just thinking about it.

Although she knew in her heart that everything happened for a reason, Que Qingyun was insincere and could not help herself, but now that she was in a mood, she wanted to throw a tantrum and show her temper.

Que Qingyun couldn't see what she was thinking, so he had no choice but to let her go.

After Yu Lian said it, she didn't hear the response from the people around her for a long time, but when she turned around, she saw Que Qingyun put one hand on her ear, looking at the scene in the courtyard, looking thoughtful.

"What is Master thinking?" Yu Lian couldn't bear it, and opened her mouth first.

Que Qingyun's eyelashes trembled slightly, and she raised her eyes with a smile in her heart. Looking at her Wen Wenrou, she replied, "I'm thinking about when my disciple got angry and is willing to take care of me as a teacher."

Yu Lian was caught off guard and blushed, slandering Que Qingyun for being cunning, and set her up again.

But she just recognized Que Qingyun's tricks, and she was held tightly by the master in the palm of her hand, and she couldn't run anywhere.

At night, Yin Qingxue had already fallen asleep, Que Qingyun was meditating in the room to adjust her breath, and Yu Lianxin was sitting in the yard watching the moon.

Suddenly the door creaked, Fang Juenian came out with two boxes of black and white chess pieces, and sat down on the stone bench opposite Yu Lianxin.

The surface of the stone table was engraved with chessboard grids. After the person opposite sat down, he bowed his hands to Yu Lianxin. Yu Lianxin did not refuse her invitation, so he picked up a white piece and dropped it casually.

In the middle of the night, no one disturbed her, so Fang Juenian must have something to say when she came to look for her.

But no one spoke. In the quiet courtyard, there was only the slight sound of chess pieces falling gradually.

Yu Lian's mind was not on chess, she was not good at this way of playing chess at first, she made random moves and played chess without any rules, so she was easily beheaded by the opponent.

"Your Excellency accepts." Fang Juinian bowed his head humbly.

Yu Lian didn't take it seriously, raised her eyes and asked her: "I've been in the mortal world all these years, are you still used to it?"

Fang Juenian was reminded by these words of the past when he was in the Xuan Palace, his face showed a look of nostalgia, and his tone was also filled with emotion: "Thanks to my lord's concern, Juenian is used to it."

"That's good." Yu Lian sighed softly, and Shu Er smiled again, raised her eyes to look at Yin Qingxue's room, implying, "Before, Xue'er had conflicts with you, my master and I didn't expect it Now she is so dependent on you."

Even though Yin Qingxue is a few rounds older than Yu Lianxin, after going through hundreds of generations of reincarnation, Yu Lianxin's character is naturally not similar to that of ordinary people.

In Yu Lian's mind, Yin Qingxue was still a half-grown child. After two days of observation, she roughly guessed that Yin Qingxue and Fang Juinian had a crush on each other. Look at Fang Juinian from a different perspective.

Hearing Yu Lian's heartfelt words, Fang Juinian's expression was not as embarrassed as expected, but rather unnatural.

She lowered her head, clutching the hem of her clothes with both hands, a hazy shadow cast over her drooping face, she looked strangely pale.

Seeing this, Yu Lian's smile slowly faded away, and the corners of her slightly raised lips fell. After a pause, Fang asked, "What's the matter? Is there something unspeakable?"

Fang Juinian was silent for a while, then got up suddenly, and under Yu Lian's slightly surprised eyes, he bent his legs and knelt on the ground.

"Please forgive me, my lord!" She leaned forward and bowed, her forehead fell on the frosty bluestone, and there was a thud.

Yu Lian was very surprised, but she didn't immediately help her up, she just said: "Why?"

Fang Juenian buried her head deeply, and there was another moment of silence before she finally opened her mouth with difficulty: "Jue Nian accepts the inheritance of the dragon veins, and promises General Yue's heroic spirit that he will guard the Beidao Pass in this life, so he cannot go to the Central Plains with your lord."

In any case, she never thought that what Fang Juinian was talking about was this matter, Yu Lian's mind turned quickly, thinking of Fang Juinian's sad face when she mentioned Yin Qingxue just now, her brows frowned.

She asked, "Does Xue'er know about this?"

Fang Juenian shook his head.

It had only been three or two days since she came back from Beidaoguan, and she still hadn't figured out how to speak to Yin Qingxue.

Yu Lian then asked again, "What about Xue'er?"

It's impossible for Fang Juenian to be completely unaware of Yin Qingxue's intentions, otherwise, she shouldn't have that expression just now.

Her shoulders were trembling, and she seemed to have used great efforts to restrain her turbulent emotions, and she replied in a hoarse voice: "I never want to be a soldier for the rest of my life, and I'm afraid I won't be able to return home, so I don't want to have an affair with my children, and I'm afraid it will delay her."

Yu Lian sucked in a breath of cold air, the breath in her body surged, and the dissipated spiritual energy collided with the stone table, shaking the chess pieces on the table to pieces.

"Bastard!" Yu Lian shouted coldly, patted the table with her palms, and stared at the prostrate person with frosty eyes, "You know what she's thinking, but you suddenly say such things, what do you think of Xue'er?! "

"You shouldn't kneel to me, and you don't have to ask me for sin." She saw Fang Juinian's cowardice and hesitation, "I don't care about your affairs, just say what you have to say! Don't think about it, I will do it for you call the shots!"

Fang Jue suppressed his thoughts even lower and remained silent.

Yu Lian got up, hating iron for being weak: "In the first half of your life, you were a mysterious palace, a home country, and you were born and died for more than ten years. Now you have come to the mortal world, but you have gone back to the old way, and you have been fighting for others all your life. When will you fight for others?" Think about it for yourself?"

Fang Juenian's shoulders stopped trembling, and she finally raised her head, not regretting what she said and did today.

Every word she said was the result of careful consideration. Knowing that it would offend Yu Lian's heart and hurt Yin Qingxue, she still resolutely chose to stick to loyalty and inherit the legacy of the general of the Zhenbei Army.

She straightened her back, looked into Yu Lian's eyes, and replied word by word with the determination in her heart: "The world will be peaceful, and the people will live in peace."

The chaos of the Yaozu has not been resolved, and the Han tribe is still eyeing Beidaoguan.

She couldn't just leave all this behind with peace of mind, and let the people live in dire straits, living a happy and peaceful life that only belonged to her.
