Looking to the Thirteen Rivers

The carriage swayed, the rain beat on the roof, the curtains of the side windows were not covered, splashes of water fell in and touched Wen Chaoyu's hair, like a layer of wet mist.

Going down the mountain road, the rain started to get heavy again at some point, the sky and the ground were washed gray, and there was slippery mud everywhere. The horses walked slowly and did not dare to run fast.

Wen Chaoyu ran his true energy to dry the drenched clothes. Nangong Min leaned against the wall of the car, sleeping peacefully. He had been asleep for a while. Seeing that her temples were still dripping, Wen Zhaoyu took off his coat and gave it to her. Putting it on, he took out a handkerchief and wiped the cold sweat off her face.

The veil caressed his face lightly, and swept away the fine beads of sweat. Wen Zhaoyu was about to stop when Nangong Min's eyelashes trembled slightly, and he opened his eyes and looked at her.

The four eyes met each other, and those eyes, which were always smiling and quiet, were as deep as a bottomless pool of water, with some tiredness and weariness that were hard to catch, as well as a bit of rare mistyness and bewilderment.Wen Chaoyu paused, straightened up, and asked, "Woke up so soon?"

Nangong Min raised his eyes and glanced out the window, coughed twice and said, "Haven't you gone down the mountain yet?"

"Hurry up," Wen Chaoyu folded up the handkerchief and put it in his pocket, "But Shangyuan City is probably still in chaos, and our group is too crowded to enter the city, fearing that we will be surrounded by Yunhua disciples who don't know what's going on. Get up, let's go around the mountain road instead of going through the city."

There was a burst of warmth from the coat on his shoulders. Nangong Min looked down and smelled a clear smell of alcohol.She smiled softly, and said weakly, "Did you still drink today?"

Wen Chaoyu turned his sore neck, and replied casually: "I rushed all the way back from Jinhuai City. I ran so fast that I couldn't sleep. If I didn't rely on drinking to refresh myself, I would have passed away from exhaustion."

Of course, Nangongmin knew that she was going to Jinhuai City, and on the way, she still sent some followers to stumbling her and Ji Wanshu. Although she failed to hold her back, she finally bought some time for herself, and it was almost as if she was with them. At the same time, they arrived at Shangyuan City.Nan Gongmin said: "It's been a few days since I disappeared, have you set up a house in Shangyuan City?"

Wen Chaoyu said, "I bought a set." She raised her eyebrows and smiled meaningfully, "I bought it with the gold you gave me. It's very elegant and the place is clean."

Nangong Min said, "Then why don't you invite me to visit?"

"Now?" Wen Zhaoyu thought for a while, "It's not impossible, you just happen to have an injury, so you can take care of it with me before leaving. Then I tell them to go into the city instead?"

Nangong Min replied "Yes", and Wen Zhaoyu lifted the curtain of the carriage and ordered the believers to rush to the city. After hearing this, the rest of the people dispersed tacitly, followed behind without any movement, and did not follow the carriage. Before going forward, I went to find an inn to stay.

As Wen Chaoyu expected, the city was still in chaos, and there were officials and Yunhua disciples everywhere to settle the people. Wen Chaoyu showed up in front of the car, and most of the Yunhua disciples recognized her, so they didn't block the way.The carriage turned along the market and went to the mansion. The doorman greeted him and passed a message to the inside. Xue Tan ran out to greet him with a limp. When he saw Nangong Min, he was so frightened that he couldn't speak clearly: "Teacher, the leader ?! This... why did you suddenly come to Shangyuan City? Please come in quickly!"

Nangong Min stood at the front of the car and looked around, and was supported by Wen Chaoyu into the courtyard. Xue Tan was terrified, and dared not say anything like a quail behind him. It wasn't until Nangong Min went to the soup room to take a bath and change clothes that Xue Tan said disheveled. : "Why did you come back today? What's the matter with the leader? Are you going to say hello in advance if you want to bring someone here? I was almost scared to death just now!"

Wen Zhaoyu was surprised and said: "There is so much commotion in the city today, and you still don't know I'm back? Why are you staying at home?"

"I'm guarding the house," Xue Tan scratched his head, "Didn't you tell me that you are not allowed to go out of the gate, and you are not allowed to enter the second gate, so I don't care about what I hear. I haven't gone anywhere except sleeping at home these days. .”

"Mingyue Tower and Jiuxiantang have both reached the gate of the city!" Wen Zhaoyu asked the sky speechlessly, "I said why I haven't seen you for so long to join me. The relationship is just sleeping at home. Let me tell you what's good!"

Xue Tan looked innocent: "They beat them, why should I join in the fun? It's useless for me to go with a broken arm and broken leg. If you accidentally get hacked to death, you won't have time to collect my body. Didn't I also listen to your words?"

Wen Chaoyu was rendered speechless by his words, and it took him a long time to say in a bad mood: "Why are everyone so careless, it's okay, go and ask someone to cook a table of good food and vegetables, and then warm it up for me." Two jugs of wine are here, hurry up."

Xue Tan said "oh", thinking of the big Buddha coming to his house, he didn't dare to procrastinate at all, and his steps were much more agile than usual.Wen Chaoyu returned to the room, washed his face with cold water, changed into clean clothes, cleaned himself up, and went to wait in the hall.

The sky had completely darkened, and as night fell, the spring thunder sounded like thunder in the daytime. I thought there would be a heavy rain after nightfall, but I didn't expect it to be just a patter, which could be ignored.Wen Chaoyu ate some snacks to satisfy his hunger, and was really tired, so he stood in the porch with the wine jug blowing the cold wind to make him doze off. After Xue Tan ordered the food to be prepared and left, Nangong Min was finally surrounded by several maids from the corner of the porch. turned out.

There are lanterns hanging under the eaves, all pasted with vermilion paper, and the light cast by them is also a charming blush.Nangong Min was dressed in lake blue plain clothes, with wet black hair and a graceful figure. He walked over talking and laughing with several maids, bathed in the lingering halo, like a picture scroll, too beautiful to behold.

This person has only loved red dresses since she was a child, and Wen Zhaoyu has hardly seen her wear other colors. Now that she saw her, she couldn't help but take a few extra glances.

The two met at the door, but before they could speak, the maids happily asked Wen Chaoyu, and they were divided into curious Nangong Min.They were all the girls that Wen Chaoyu invited after he came to Shangyuan City. None of them knew Nangong Min. They only thought she was a lady from a great family, so they were not afraid of her like Xue Tan. No more, Nangong Min responded politely, very generously.

Watching them talking and laughing, Wen Zhaoyu couldn't help feeling some subtle feelings in his heart.

For a moment, she felt that Nangong Min came to her, as if she had fallen from a high place to the mortal world, which made her suddenly uncomfortable.

It seemed that Nangong Min was no longer the leader of the Ziwei Sect, she was just an ordinary person, and those reputations that had been carried for many years, whether good or bad, seemed to have drifted away quietly at this moment.

It was raining heavily at night, and the cold wind lingered, and the flowers blooming in the yard became blurred shadows in the bleak wind and rain.Wen Chaoyu took a sip of wine and entered the inner hall. The maids helped Nan Gongmin to sit down in front of the long table and served her dishes and tea. They were extremely thoughtful and enthusiastic. It was not until Wen Zhaoyu spoke that the maids left the door. It gave the two of them a clean atmosphere.

Many bright lights were lit in the hall, as bright as day, and each other's faces were clearly reflected by the bright light.Wen Chaoyu withdrew Nangong Min's teacup and poured wine for her. The two clinked the glasses. Wen Zhaoyu drank it all down, but Nangong Min only tasted it. She looked at the courtyard outside, maintaining her usual upright sitting posture, and said slowly : "The house is very good."

Wen Chaoyu didn't have such a good manner as her. She never sat or stood, and now she was leaning on the back of the chair lazily with her long legs, and said casually: "Everyone who came here said so, I myself Very satisfied, after all, it cost a lot of money to buy, so of course I can’t miss it.”

Nangong Min let out a "hmm" and asked, "Who has been here?"

Wen Chaoyu snapped his fingers: "Not many, of course Wan Shu was the first one to come, followed by Man Jiangxue and Yin Qiu, and there was no one else."

Nangong Min looked around at the decorations in the hall and said, "Do you usually light so many lamps?"

Wen Chaoyu said: "No," she picked up the vegetables and said in a calm tone, "Didn't you come here?"

Nangong Min looked at her and said nothing.

Wen Chaoyu suddenly smiled, and continued on his own: "Do you think everyone is like you and you have to light a hundred lamps at night?"

Hearing this, Nangong paused for a moment: "When will I light a hundred lamps?"

Wen Chaoyu raised his eyebrows: "Don't tell me you forgot."

"Indeed I forgot," Nangong Min said, "When?"

Wen Zhaoyu didn't answer this question, but asked: "Then what do you remember?"

Nangong Min took a dry handkerchief and wiped his wet hair, saying, "That depends on what you're referring to."

Wen Zhaoyu squeezed the wine glass, looked at the light spots reflected in the water, and said after a moment of silence: "I know you have a bad memory and have forgotten many things, but you should remember the scene of our first formal meeting. Just remember."

Nangong Min's eyes were lowered, and a little reminiscence appeared on his face. Wen Chaoyu looked at her for a while, and Nangong Min laughed slowly under her silent gaze, and said, "Is this?" She looked directly at her. With Wen Chaoyu's eyes, he said softly, "I seem to have forgotten it too."

·

Nangong Min lied.

She is actually not a person with a bad memory, her memory is not that bad, even better than Wen Zhaoyu, many things that even Wen Zhaoyu doesn't remember, but she remembers them clearly.

When Nan Gongmin was a child, he could only rest one day in a month.Every morning, she would study with her husband in the study, and in the afternoon, she would follow her father to practice swords in the martial arts field. The time of the day was before the end of You hour, except for an hour of eating and digestion, she spent the rest of the time dealing with pen, ink and swords.

Her father only gave her one day off a month.

The weather was fine that day, and the red lotus bloomed in the garden. Nangong Min never slept late, and woke up early as usual during vacations. She smelled the fragrance of flowers in the house, washed and dressed, and went to the waterside pavilion to enjoy the flowers.

The blue water of the lake is rippling, the koi are swimming in the lotus and playing in the water, and the red lotus is in full bloom, like fog and smoke.Nangong Min liked it very much when she saw it, so she called a maid to invite her father to enjoy the flowers with her, but her father was busy and didn't have time to come, so Nangong Min ordered someone to set up a table of refreshments and brought some gadgets to pass the time Son, sitting alone in the pavilion in the middle of the lake enjoying this hard-won leisure time.

Where she is, there is usually no one else, even the accompanying maid will not be too close to her, and usually find a secluded corner where she can hear her screams, and will not be like other maids accompanying the young lady. She hangs around in front of Nangong Min all the time.

Nangong Min herself didn't know how this rule came about, she didn't explain it herself, and her father wouldn't be so bored that he didn't care about these things.In short, Nangong Min has never been accompanied by anyone since she can remember, but she will not find it strange, and she has long been used to being alone.

However, on this day of vacation, a strange and immature voice suddenly sounded behind her, and someone asked, "Why are you here alone?"

With her back facing the long corridor leading to the Huxin Pavilion, Nangong Min was concentrating on pounding the impatiens in the mortar. When she heard the voice that suddenly reached her ears, she couldn't help but froze for a moment.

Although she was young at that time, her kung fu was already very good. It stands to reason that she would hear someone coming, but she didn't notice any movement.Maybe it was because she was too focused, or maybe she subconsciously believed that no one would come to approach her, let alone talk to her, and what she said was still the same, so Nangong Min was secretly surprised and also a little novel.

She turned her head and saw a sick little girl.

The girl was wearing a dark blue shirt and skirt, she seemed to be suffering from some kind of illness, her complexion was very bad, and she seemed to be in a bad mood.But she looks very good, with distinct facial features and deep eyes, not as delicate and small as their daughter's family at this age, but very bright and majestic, apart from lack of complexion, it is really eye-catching to look at.

Nangong Min looked at Wen Zhaoyu, his expression was calm, but he was thinking in his heart: who is this?

She couldn't remember who the girl in front of her was.

She asked her father to bring Wen Zhaoyu back to the Ziwei Sect, but she didn't mean to ignore it on purpose, she was really too busy, and she couldn't find time to take a look at Wen Zhaoyu.After a long time, she completely forgot that she had saved someone back two months ago.

Besides, Wen Chaoyu became ill like that two months ago, not to mention she was very thin, and her hair was unkempt, her clothes were dirty, Nangong Min didn't even see her face clearly at that time, but seeing her now, she has no clue at all.

But she couldn't directly ask who Wen Chaoyu was. If the other party was the daughter of her father's friend, she couldn't even remember the name. This would be extremely rude and would embarrass her father.

So Nangong Min smiled and replied, "I've always been alone."

Wen Chaoyu stood in the porch, looked around, and asked her: "This garden is so big, do you live alone?"

Nangong Min said, "Yes, otherwise who else would live with me? My father only has one daughter, and I have no brothers or sisters."

When Wen Chaoyu was still in Ji's family, the Ji family's house was already very big. At that time, although Ji's family was not the richest man in Jincheng, it was also a family of wealthy merchants. Many people were envious of Ji's house.When Wen Chaoyu was a child, she often wandered around at home and would get lost. From time to time, she had to shout at the top of her voice for someone to take her back to her room, but in contrast, Nangongmin's place was bigger than the entire house of Ji's family. , She actually lives alone.

"Aren't you afraid?" Wen Chaoyu said, "The house is too big to be haunted."

Hearing this, Nangong Min thought the girl was quite interesting, and said, "Don't be afraid, what's there to be afraid of?" But facing Wen Zhaoyu's gaze at her, she was a little cautious, and quickly changed her words, "Well, I'm actually a little scared. Before I go to bed at night, I have to light a hundred lamps in the house. I can't sleep until it's as bright as the daytime."

Wen Chaoyu said: "Then why don't you let someone sleep with you?"

Nangong Min said: "Who will sleep with me? I'm so old, I can't let my father stay with me. Besides, if he knows that I'm afraid of the dark, he will definitely call me a coward and I will be scolded. "

Wen Chaoyu thought in his heart that you need to light a hundred lamps at night, as long as you are not blind, you will know that you are afraid of the dark, your father must have known it a long time ago.

But Wen Chaoyu didn't tell Nangong Min the slander in her heart, she entered the pavilion, sat down beside Nangong Min, stared at her hand and asked, "What are you messing with?"

"It's Impatiens," Nangong Min showed her the mortar, "it can be used as rouge, or painted on nails. Doesn't it look good?"

Wen Chaoyu didn't like dressing up since she was a child. She never wore the jewelry Mrs. Ji bought her. She glanced at it immediately and said, "It's not good-looking, the color is too gaudy."

"What gaudy, you have no taste," Nangong Min said with a smile as he pasted impatiens on his nails, "I like red the most in this world. The church is too dull, and those believers only wear black." Yes, no one can dress brighter. Except for me, there are no other places with beautiful flowers. You are right, my garden is the most fun place."

Wen Zhaoyu saw that she was wearing a red dress, there were countless red lotuses piled up on the lake, and she was playing with the bright red impatiens in her hands, so she couldn't help grinning, and jokingly said, "Then you shouldn't be called Nangong Min, Your name should be Nangong Hong."

Nangong Min was stunned again when he heard these words.

Before that, no one had ever called her by her first and last name.

Wen Chaoyu rushed over suddenly, broke into the small world where she was alone, and called her by her name without any scruples. It was hard not to surprise Nangong Min, who was still young at the time.

Her father called her "Min'er", and the believers and maids in the sect all called her "Miss", and when outsiders saw her, they would respectfully address her as "Little Master". This is the first time Nangong Min has heard her from others to your name.

"Why don't you even have a maid by your side?" Seeing that Nangong Min looked at him silently, Wen Zhaoyu took a piece of pastry and said as he ate it, "No way, your family is so rich, you should have at least a hundred cakes in your room." No. [-] servant girl serves you."

"Why number one hundred?" Nangong Min asked.

"Make up the numbers," Wen Zhaoyu said solemnly, "it's appropriate for one person to light a lamp."

Nangong Min was completely amused by her, and said: "If I want a hundred, there will be one, but I don't need it," and then said, "No one follows me because they are afraid of me. , apart from my father and the four protectors, no one dared to speak to me."

"Why?" Wen Chaoyu asked her "why" this time.

"I don't know," Nangong Min said, "I don't look scary, and I don't have a bad temper, but they just don't dare to approach me."

After Wen Zhaoyu was rescued by her, she lived alone in the guest room in the outer courtyard for two months. She had someone to take care of her daily necessities, so many people followed her around, sometimes she even thought this was her home, but She came to this place through the guidance of the maid, and saw the real young master of this house, but she was alone, not to mention that there was no one around her, and she dared not approach her.

Strange.

"Are you a famous nobleman?" Wen Zhaoyu said, "But that shouldn't be the case. The more famous nobleman you are, the more polite you can get along with your servants. Or is it that you have done something evil? Otherwise, why would they be afraid of you? ?”

Nangong Min looked at Wen Zhaoyu, became interested for a moment, and asked curiously, "Don't you know who I am?"

Wen Chaoyu shook his head: "Who are you?"

Nangong Min said, "Then who are you?"

"You don't even know who I am?" Wen Zhaoyu was incredulous, "You rescued me from the hospital, and you forgot after two months?"

Nangong Min finally got a clue, and then remembered that she and her father passed by a certain medical center two months ago, and rescued a seriously ill girl who was abandoned by her parents and came back.Nangong Min's eyes lit up, and he said with a smile: "So it's you, I'm really sorry, I have too many things to do, I forgot you, what's your name?"

Wen Chaoyu reported his name and asked back, "What about you? Although I know your name is Nangong Min, I still don't know who you are and where this place is."

Nangong Min said: "You have been here for two months, and you haven't heard that this is the Ziwei Sect?"

"I heard." Wen Zhaoyu finished his pastry and poured himself another cup of tea, "but I only know that the Ziwei Cult is a martial arts sect, but I don't know what you actually do. I don't know much about it. It happened that we met, did you talk to me?"

I found that although this girl is generous and informal, she is also very talkative, but she knows very little about the affairs of the Jianghu, and she doesn't even know what the Ziwei Sect is.Nangong Min seldom chatted with people like this, so he became a bit playful, and deliberately said inscrutablely: "Then you have always heard some stories? In the martial arts, there have always been righteous ways and evil ways. We Ziwei sect Well, it is one of the best Demon Cults in the world today."

Demon religion?Wen Chaoyu's expression changed: "So the people here are all bad people who want to do evil things?"

"Yes," Nangong Min teased her, and said seriously, "Murder and arson are all kinds of crimes. Once the name of the Ziwei Sect is called out, everyone will be scared to death."

"So bad?" Wen Zhaoyu suddenly realized, "No wonder your maids dare not approach you anymore. Your father is the leader of the Ziwei Sect. He is the big devil, and you are the little devil."

Nangong Min laughed heartily, feeling extremely comfortable, and said with crooked eyebrows: "Yes, it's the little devil, so are you afraid of me?"

Wen Chaoyu sized her up from head to toe seriously for a while, then curled his lips and said, "But you don't look like a little devil at all, not to mention that you saved me, it's a kind deed, it's not something bad people can do. Besides, you are still afraid of the dark and dare not sleep alone, which devil would be so timid? I don't believe it, are you lying to me?"

"I didn't lie to you," Nangong Min said, "What I said is true."

"Then I'm not afraid of you," Wen Zhaoyu said, "You can't eat me."

Nangong Min said, "You know again? It's daytime now, and I can only eat people at night. If you're not in a hurry to go back, you might as well wait until dark, and I'll show you how to eat people."

Wen Chaoyu said, "Really?"

"Really," Nangong Min said, "Why should I lie to you?"

Wen Zhaoyu is not a three-year-old child, how could he just believe her nonsense?But she stayed that day, waiting to see how Nangong Min would show her cannibalism. When night fell, Nangong Min took her to his room. For the first time, no one was asked to light the lamp, and the two of them threw the bedding I went to the ground to lay a bed, and talked a lot, but I didn't eat a single one.

Wen Chaoyu decided that Nangong Min was teasing her, and felt that this person was really dark and liked to scare people, so she told Nangong Min many ghost stories. Nangong Min was calm on the surface, but subconsciously retracted into the quilt.In the middle of the night, she fell asleep at some point, and Wen Zhaoyu woke up the next day, and found that she was firmly against her, and said to her as soon as she opened her eyes: "You scared me last night. I had a lot of nightmares, I’m not energetic today, if I go to the study, my husband will definitely scold me if I don’t read well.”

Wen Chaoyu said: "Then what should I do? Who told you to lie to me first, you squeezed me, and I didn't sleep well."

"Don't go back, stay here with me," Nangong Min said aggrievedly with two huge dark circles under his eyes, "It's useless to light a thousand lamps this time, if you leave, I will What's more frightening is that you have to accompany me until you forget all the stories you told before you can leave."

Wen Chaoyu regretted it.

She is not afraid of anything, and since she was a child, she likes to pester her nanny to tell her ghost stories, and she must listen to them before going to bed.But she didn't expect Nangong Min to be so timid. What kind of little devil is this who wants to eat people?Wen Chaoyu sighed, and asked, "It doesn't make sense. Aren't you Ziwei sects all bad guys? Why are you still afraid of ghosts?"

"There is a reason," Nangong Min said, "My mother died when I was four years old. She was killed by my father's enemies. They wanted to steal my father's holy sword, but my father refused to give it to me, so they killed her." my mother."

Wen Zhaoyu was startled, and was so shocked by the sudden words that he didn't know what to say.She was silent for a long time before she slowed down and said, "...Then what does this have to do with your fear of the dark?"

Nan Gongmin said: "Of course it has something to do with it. When my mother died, I hid in the secret tunnel underground, and I was able to see my mother's eyes through the gap. She died with regret. I want to see her, but I am afraid to see her." , I stared at her for several days, and then my father rescued me, and since then, I dare not sleep alone, I must light up the lights in the house."

Wen Zhaoyu regretted it even more.

Immediately, she was filled with guilt, and quickly wrapped Nangong Min in a quilt, and asked again: "You said it took a few days...how many days exactly?"

"Four days?" Nangong Min thought for a while, "I can't remember, anyway, I have been locked underground. If my father doesn't come to rescue me, I will starve to death inside."

Wen Chaoyu heard her narrate the sad things in such a flat tone, without showing too much grief on her face, she felt as if she had been stabbed twice in her heart.Wen Chaoyu's eyes turned red suddenly, and he said with tears, "Although your mother died, your father still came to save you. At least he cares about you very much. But my parents don't want me anymore..."

Nangong Min seldom saw someone cry in front of her, so he couldn't help but feel sore nose, and comforted him: "They don't want you, I want you with my father, and you will stay here from now on, we will be friends from now on, if you want , Ziwei Cult is your home, can you stop crying?"

In the two months since Wen Zhaoyu came to Ziweijiao, no matter whether he was with others or alone in private, he never cried because of being abandoned by his parents.She looked at Nangong Min, choked up and said, "Well, I'll just stay with you. I'll tell you jokes tonight, and I won't tell ghost stories anymore."

Nangong Min laughed again, showing off his face and saying, "Okay."

Since then, Wen Chaoyu has stayed in the Ziwei Sect, living in the same courtyard with Nangong Min.The old leader learned that the two of them had become good friends, and it didn't take long for Wen Chaoyu to study and practice martial arts with Nangong Min. In those few years, Nangong Min had a good friend who talked about everything, and Wen Chaoyu had a new home. Those were the happiest years for both of them.

However, the good times did not last long. A few years later, the old leader passed away due to illness. Nan Gongmin hastily ascended to the position of leader, suffered oppression from all directions, and even almost died several times.She was finally no longer afraid of the dark, and she no longer wanted Wen Chaoyu to sleep with her. She always stayed alone in Fenglou or Yulan Hall without anyone to accompany her. She seemed to be a different person suddenly.

Afterwards, she raised many beauties, and the bedroom was always lit all night, and she had to listen to those beauties playing and playing to fall asleep.The place where she lives is always smoked with strong incense, because the light smell has no effect on her at all. Only excessive noise and heavy fragrance can make her feel less lonely and she can sleep better.

But in the end, Fenglou and Yulan Hall were gone, and the main altar of Hezhou City was burned to ruins. All the memories of childhood were buried in that fire.

Up to now, her only friend has also left, and she let her go on her own initiative.

In such a big Ziwei sect, she was the only one left after all.

·

The night is rainy, and the wind of the spring night brings the past and takes it away.The bright lights in the room fluctuated, pulling the shadows of the two people, separating and reuniting, indistinct, and then calmed down at the moment when the wind stopped, and the original distance was opened.

Wen Zhaoyu finished drinking, she turned the glass upside down, closed the door with the wind of her palm, blocking all the coldness in the porch.Wen Zhaoyu pretended to be relaxed and said: "It's a good thing if you really want to forget, just in case you will remember it again."

The corners of Nangong Min's lips were slightly bent, and she gathered the robe on her body, and said, "What will happen when you think about it?"

Wen Chaoyu smiled and said, "I'm afraid you won't be able to sleep."

Nangong Min looked at her, and also smiled and said, "Don't worry too much, I sleep well now." After she said this, she swallowed the wine Wen Zhaoyu poured for her, and immediately put the glass upside down on the bed. On the table, got up and stood up.

Seeing her actions, Wen Chaoyu immediately asked, "Tired? I'll take you to the guest room."

Nangong Min didn't say a word, pushed open the door and stood on the porch, Wen Chaoyu was holding a lantern to lead her the way, but Nangong Min stood still and said in a weak voice, "Don't bother, I'm leaving now."

"Go?" Wen Chaoyu frowned, looked at Yumu and said, "Where are you going?"

"Go back to where I should go," Nangong Min turned around, "I just came here to see how you are doing, but seeing that your place is nice and knowing that you are doing well, I am relieved .”

Wen Chaoyu lowered his hand holding the lantern: "Shall we go now?"

Nangong Min nodded.

"But you're still hurt," Wen Zhaoyu took two steps closer to her, "at least heal up before you go. Why are you in such a hurry to get on the road?"

"You have a new home, and you have someone who can accompany you for a long time," Nangong Min said with a soft smile, "You don't need me anymore, and I don't need you anymore. We have grown up. You After all, I am not the same person, I still have my mission and the responsibilities that I have to bear. The holy sword has been found, and I have no other concerns. My father left me the Ziwei teaching, hoping that I can carry it forward and get rid of unnecessary things. Infamy, but I let it become a veritable Demon Cult in my hands, which is even more contemptible than when my father was still alive. The Qingming I once had was regained, fulfilling the last wish of my father before his death."

Wen Chaoyu was silent for a moment, then sighed: "These things can't be achieved overnight, but if you have the heart, the old leader will know, you will be very pleased." She put the lantern by the door and took a handful from the hall. Umbrella, "If you insist on leaving now, then let's go."

Nangong Min took the umbrella and walked down the steps slowly. She pushed Wen Chaoyu back and said, "I'll go by myself, you stay."

Wen Chaoyu said: "I'm with you, I said I would send you back to Cang County."

"No need," Nangong Min stood in the rain, the oil-paper umbrella blocked some of the light, she looked up at Wen Chaoyu, "There are people who need your company more than me."

"But I owe you my life, and I owe you a lot of kindness!" Wen Zhaoyu rushed to her stubbornly, and couldn't control his trembling voice, "I never really thought that I left the Ziwei sect, just like I did to you at the beginning. As you said, I will always be a member of the Ziwei sect. Now that you have taken back the holy sword, you will stand in the midst of disputes and whirlpools. What is it for you to push me away? Don’t you really think that I am a member of the Ziwei sect? Are you part of it?"

Nangong Min said: "No," she took two steps back, and said to Wen Chaoyu from a distance, "You don't owe me anything anymore, between you and me, there shouldn't be such a thing as a debt, even if you did, you would have already Just pay it off. The reason why I let you go is to let you live the life you want, and now that you have got it, you don’t have to come back.”

Wen Chaoyu wiped the rainwater off her face. On such a rainy day, she felt her body ache again, even her heart ached.Wen Chaoyu said: "You have been the master of me for so many years, is it possible for me to get my own mind back? I am not just begging for nothing to follow you and will not leave. Are you afraid that you will not be able to get rid of me? If your situation is more stable, when your injury heals, I will naturally leave, and I won't depend on you for the rest of my life!"

"Don't you understand?" Nangong Min suppressed the smile on his face, his eyes were deep and deep, "That's why I don't want you to come back."

Wen Chaoyu's mind flickered.

"I don't want anyone to be a passer-by in my life." Nangong Min turned around and gave Wen Zhaoyu an indistinguishable profile, "If it wasn't like this, I wouldn't let you go that day, since you If you have already left, there is no need to come back, especially after you come back and stay for a while before leaving, this is the most intolerable and unacceptable thing for me.”

Wen Chaoyu said, "But..."

"There's nothing but," Nangong Min said calmly, "You know what I'm thinking, and I know what you're thinking too. We are all people with our own opinions, and no one should try to convince anyone."

After she finished speaking, without giving Wen Chaoyu a chance to reply, she clinging to the umbrella and stepped into the icy rain, walking alone in an unclear direction in the dark night.

"You and I don't owe each other, each of us is safe, this is the best situation."
