Lonely City without Frost

"No Frost!"

She shook her head and said firmly, "Since you told me, you should know how I will choose."

Hua Manlou wanted to grab her hand and lowered it, "...um."

Zuo Wushuang hung his sword back to his waist, and he did it skillfully, "I don't think it's necessary to remedy Ximen's side. Anyway...at least I won't influence him here."

In fact, she didn't know that even if she left, it was impossible to pretend that nothing had happened. However, the impact of this incident was so great that even she couldn't think of any other way except to escape.

For the same reason, Hua Manlou also knew it, and he was the one who woke her up, so he had no position to keep her now.

He knew that her back was gradually fading into the light of the morning sun, and he could hear her still flustered footsteps when she left, but there was darkness in front of him.

I haven't had this feeling for many years.

—You are blind, you are blind, you are blind.

There was a feeling that the darkness was swallowing him up, Hua Manlou smiled bitterly, and was just about to turn around when he was shocked by the fierce murderous aura coming from behind.

"Lord Ximen."

"Can you hear my voice?" There was a trace of surprise in Ximen Chuuxue's tone.

"No, I just felt the murderous aura on the owner."

Ximen Chuuxue didn't say anything more on this issue, and only spoke again after a long time, "...Where is she going?"

This question really caught him, Hua Manlou frowned, "If the owner doesn't know, how can I guess."

The conversation stopped here and couldn't continue anymore. When he felt that the murderous look was gone, he just shook his head and went back to the room.

The sky lit up little by little, and the light golden light enveloped the entire courtyard, peaceful and beautiful.

"Actually, you shouldn't have been allowed to go out to practice so early, but I have already taught you what I can teach you. What you can do next is up to you."

"Master, don't worry, I will definitely not insult your reputation!" The girl stood in front of the hut with a firm expression, "And... can I come back later?"

"Of course you can." The middle-aged man twitched his lips slightly, "You can come back anytime."

The girl who heard this lowered her head silently, thinking in her heart that if she insulted Master's reputation outside, she would have no face to come back to see Master, so no matter what, she must work hard!

She has been a person who hides her thoughts since she was a child. After seeing her biting her lip, the middle-aged man still just smiled, then reached out and patted her on the shoulder, "Master didn't teach you martial arts because you want you to help me achieve something." False name, I just hope that your future journey will be smoother, of course I may be wrong, it would be better if you don’t know anything.”

"Anyway, I will try my best!"

"Okay, I know you like to practice swords, so it's fate to adopt you, have you packed your things?"

The girl patted the package behind her, her spirits high, "Yes."

"Okay, then when Li Xun Huan comes, you can go with him, he will only send you to Middle Earth, and everything after that will be up to you."

Even when the middle-aged man spoke in a soft tone, he still had an indescribable sense of fortitude, while the girl in front of him was not tall but carried a long sword on her back.

At first glance, the sword was almost unrecognizable as a sword, and countless people once doubted her sword skills after that, but after seeing her speed, they never dared to underestimate her.

Zuo Wushuang felt that his hands were covered with sweat, and he was stunned for a long time before really waking up from his dream.

I don't know how long it has been since she dreamed of her master. She looked at Han Hai, who was hundreds of times more beautiful than the Frost-free Sword she held around her waist when she left, and felt an indescribable nostalgia in her heart.

At that time, he left the island with Daxia Li, full of ambition, thinking that he could make his name as a flying swordsman flourish, but Ximen Chuixue was the first person he met.

Just like Master said, maybe that is fate, that is fate.

Today is the [-]th day of the eighth lunar month. The decisive battle between Ximen Chuuxue and Ye Gucheng was originally scheduled, and it is also the Mid-Autumn Festival when the whole world is reunited. It is not an exaggeration to dream of Master at such a time. Thinking of this, Zuo Wushuang patted his body Dust, ready to go downhill.

After finishing talking with Huamanlou at dawn, she left Hua's Bieyuan and came to the Zijin Peak. She was in a daze after being unable to fall asleep for several days. After sitting for half a day, she even leaned against an old tree to sleep. When I fell asleep, I also dreamed of the Master I missed very much.

When I went back last time, I was in a hurry to fulfill the bet, and I never had a good chat with the master. Now I think about it, I am so shocked that I regret it.

After going down the mountain, it was almost completely dark. Because it was the Mid-Autumn Festival, you could see lanterns hanging at the door everywhere. There were also wealthy families who booked the second floor of the restaurant to enjoy the moon with their families.

The warm atmosphere of fireworks everywhere made her twitch her lips. She has no one to have a reunion dinner with, and her only friend can't meet and disturb at this moment.

Most of the passers-by on the street looked in a hurry, as if they had rushed back from a trip to celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival. Occasionally, some looked relaxed and comfortable, and most of them were scholars who had made an appointment to enjoy the moon.

With no purpose, Zuo Wushuang followed a large group of people to the bustling place, still in a trance.

There are many people on the bank of the river who are gathering together to enjoy the moon, and the boats in the river are also full of lights, which are connected with the moonlight reflected in the water, which is too beautiful to behold.

I don't know when fireworks were lit in the sky, and the gorgeous fireworks bloomed in the sky with a huge sound, which was too beautiful to behold.

The more people there are, the more people feel alone, Zuo Wushuang sighed softly and prepared to find a place where there are not many people and have a few drinks.

I don't know if I was dazzled in the interlacing of light and shadow, but I seemed to see a familiar figure, and when I looked over again, that person just raised his head and saw her.

Now it was too late to dodge, Zuo Wushuang subconsciously grasped the sword in his hand, "...City Lord."

He smiled faintly, "Miss Zuo."

The lights flickered between the two of them, and within five steps, no one spoke.

The fireworks were still in full bloom in the sky, Zuo Wushuang bit his lower lip and hesitated what to do, but he suddenly walked over quickly.

"... the city lord?"

"Mid-Autumn Festival, why is Miss Zuo standing here alone?"

——No, that’s not the case.

She stared at him blankly, refusing to take it, as if she wanted to see something from his expression.

Seeing that she didn't take it, Ye Gucheng was not angry, and still looked at her with a light smile, "Are you still waiting for someone?"

"...No, I'm just a little surprised."

This reunion came at such an inopportune time that she was caught off guard until now, and she didn't even know how to pretend to be a reunion.

"Long time no see, Miss Zuo seems to have a lot on her mind."

Zuo Wushuang laughed, "It's not about worrying, it's just that matter, isn't it?"

The fireworks in the sky are still in full bloom, standing by the river, with fluttering clothes, and the man beside her is still so peerless, making her forget the situation at this moment.

Thinking back to when I was able to see this person every day, I never thought that there would be such a day, but in retrospect, I can only say that good fortune is tricking people.

There is no regret medicine in the world, and there never has been.

"Look!! Is that Ye Gucheng over there!!!"

"Really? Baiyun City Lord has arrived in the capital?! Is their battle still going on?"

Someone on the other side of the river seemed to have recognized them, and Zuo Wushuang felt his body lighten just as he was about to leave.

"... the city lord?"

Ye Gucheng turned his head to the side, his expression was rare and gentle, "It's better to look at the lights elsewhere, there are too many people here."

Skimming over the water with this person, listening to the wind whistling in your ears, and the radiance of the sky above reflected under your feet, is better than countless beautiful scenery.

Unable to hear the exclamation of those people below, she stared blankly at his side face in a daze.

"Miss Zuo has been in the capital since she left Baiyun City?" "...well, where is the city lord? When did you arrive?" She finally returned to her previous appearance. "It's only been a few days. Originally, the journey was long and the boats and cars were tiring. It would be nice to postpone it." She didn't know why he could still talk like this, and when she thought of the battle between Ximen Chuuxue and him, she couldn't help feeling It can be said that I can't sleep at night without knowing the taste.

No one spoke again, just like any time in the past, standing together and looking into the distance but no one spoke, it was also a tacit understanding in another sense.

She didn't realize how long she had been standing here until the lights on the river were almost extinguished, and when she turned her head to look, Ye Gucheng was still standing like that.

This kind of cowardly thought that if this person has been standing here, it would be fine if time stopped passing has appeared more than once, even if I know it is useless in my heart, I can't help but imagine it.

"It's late at night, is Miss Zuo going back next?"

Ye Gucheng's sudden utterance startled her, put away all her girlish feelings and shook her head, "City Lord, go back first, I want to go shopping for a while."

"Tonight is the Mid-Autumn Festival. At this moment, the people who admire the moon have almost dispersed. Miss Zuo should go back earlier."

When he said this, his expression was obviously much softer than usual. She almost stared dumbfounded. When she came back to her senses, she found that the smile on his face was exactly the same as when he greeted him before. She was used to seeing this person. The appearance of being cold and inconspicuous, such a contrast really makes it impossible to move your eyes away.

"Miss left?"

Shocked, Zuo Wushuang couldn't help but despise his own focus, "...Thank you for your concern, the city lord, but it doesn't matter if I... have nothing to do for the time being and stay for a while."

"Is that so?" Ye Gucheng paused, "Then Miss Zuo, are you interested in having a few drinks together?"

"……Eh?"
