frivolous

After hearing the cause and effect, Master Liu didn't speak for a long time. He looked at the sky, and finally sighed faintly: "Rumei has already confessed the whole thing, I didn't expect her to end up—everyone has his own life."

Afterwards, it was rumored among Tian Duyun's disciples that Liu Rumei was ordered by the sect master to guard the forbidden area, and the date of her return was undecided.

Liu Rumei disappeared just like that, and everything in the sky without her was as usual.

Only Liu Shixin said in a low voice that he would draw a picture every day to wait for the junior sister to come back, and keep painting until she came back.

Looking at his younger brother's swearing appearance, Liu Gudeng finally couldn't bear to tell him the truth.

Later, Xie Yan wanted to touch the trial stone again, but was told by the disciples who cleaned the sea of ​​clouds in Tiandu that the trial stone that had accompanied the disciples of the sect for many years shattered into a pile of white powder at some point.

This matter has become a big unsolved mystery of Tiandu Yunhai.

"Gu Deng, if one day I go astray, you must stop me." Xie Yan sat on the roof with his legs crossed, half serious and half joking.

"I don't." Liu Gudeng flatly refused.Just when Xie Yan was lamenting the deep brotherhood in his heart, he heard him playing with the stone in his hand, and said seriously: "I can't beat you, I will call your family to do it."

"Senior brother is not willing to part with it." Xie Yan raised his eyebrows and smiled, "At the beginning Liu Rumei said that my life span was short, but I didn't believe it. As the so-called disaster lasts for a thousand years, I think I will live a long life."

Unexpectedly, as soon as the words fell, Jian Suyu, who was practicing sword at the side, put down his night practice and nodded solemnly: "Whether it is a disaster or not, all evil should be punished." For some reason, he thought of Xie Yan when he stepped into the forbidden lake. The reflection of it seems to be a little different...

Yue Dusk snickered on the side.

"Really willing?" Xie Yan muttered a few words with resentment on his face, suddenly stopped his smile, lowered his head, his expression was no longer clear, "So you remember, the only one who can kill me is you..."

When Xie Yan was still planning to make jokes in Tiandu Yunhai for a few days, Jian Suyu received a sound transmission talisman from the sect.It seemed that there was something urgent, Cang Shen was in a hurry to urge them to go back, so after notifying the moon dusk, they packed their bags and prepared to go back to the mountain soon.

Liu Gudeng held a farewell banquet for them instead of the head of Tiandu Yunhai. On the day of parting, he led the people of Tiandu Yunhai to see them off under the thousand-year-old pine sent by the town.

"Next time you come, Tiandu Yunhai will treat you as the oldest Drunk Jianghu in our family." Liu Gudeng boldly promised.

It's not long, but it's not difficult to see that head Liu loves his eldest son. Presumably, it won't be long before Liu Gudeng will become the next generation head of Tiandu Yunhai.Looking at his energetic brother, Xie Yan was really happy for him from the bottom of his heart: "Okay, I won't return when I'm not drunk."

Suddenly Liu Gudeng hooked Xie Yan's neck, glanced at Jian Suyu quietly, and smiled mysteriously: "I have placed a lot of bets on you, don't let me down!" Patted Xie Yan's shoulder silently.

"It's really not good to turn against you, just wait." Xie Yan blinked at him knowingly.

Yue Duo exchanged a few words with Liu Minghong, and finally handed him several bottles of Gathering Pills, and the group bid farewell to everyone and set off on their way home.

Xie Yan, who was busy in the world, went straight to the palace where Yufeng Cangshen lived, and Jian Suyu was dragged back to Shangfeng by Yuan Origami to talk for a long time.

"Suyu, Senior Sister thinks that you seem to be a bit different when you go out." Yuan Origami rarely had a teasing smile.

Unknowingly clenched the cup in her hand, Jian Suyu looked at her blankly: "Really?"

"It seems—" Tobi Origami squinted his eyes and looked at him carefully for a moment, two parts teasing, eight parts serious, and said, "It seems that there is a little human touch, is it because of the banquet?"

"No."

Tobi Origami asked with a curious and teasing smile: "Xie Yan's temperament is indeed quite pleasing, why are you denying it so quickly?"

Jian Suyu: "..."

Xie Yan went straight to Yufeng, but the juniors who were cleaned told the master that there seemed to be something urgent and went down the mountain early in the morning.

"Did you go down the mountain?" Xie Yan was confused.Cang Shen hastily called him back, but he didn't know where he went, which is also strange. "Okay, go ahead and do your thing."

"Yes, senior brother." The disciple sweeping the floor retreated in response.

Without the presence of a master, Xie Yan was overjoyed. No one dragged him to be beaten, no one punished him for carrying a bucket, and he couldn't even go to the early morning class, and he could slip out of the mountain gate from time to time. Take a stroll in the bustling town below the mountain.

This day, he was just coming back from the mountain, holding several candied haws, ready to distribute to the younger brothers and sisters in the sect, but he met a person at the mountain gate.

"Old man, are you here to join the sect?" Xie Yan looked at him with a dusty look on his face.At this age—er, it's a bit late to start cultivating immortals now.

"Young man, are you joking? This old man is quite old, half buried." The old man was amused by him.At this time, he was wearing a plain brocade black dress with auspicious cloud patterns embroidered with silver thread, so his family background is probably not bad.At this time, he looked at a red sandalwood carved food box under his hands, with fine texture, glossy color, and a sad face. "The old man just wanted to see the dog, but he... oh..."

"Didn't see it? Maybe he is in retreat. When a cultivator has a sudden enlightenment, he will retreat in order to break through the realm. The time limit is not fixed-half a year is normal." Xie Yan bit the candied haws, relieved road.

The old man sighed heavily, then put away the sadness on his face, and smiled at him: "Young man, let's meet each other, and I will leave this bowl of lotus seed soup to you."

"This..." Xie Yan looked in embarrassment at the figure of the old man in Chinese clothes trembling down the ladder.

There are thousands of steps to climb the ladder, and he was so tired and out of breath when he climbed up when he first started, let alone an old man who is more than seventy years old-poor parents all over the world.

"Old man, what is your son's name? If I have time, I will definitely give this bowl of lotus seed soup to him." Suddenly a flash of inspiration, Xie Yan shouted.I hope it won't be too long, otherwise this bowl of lotus seed soup will be uneatable long ago.

The old man's footsteps paused, and he couldn't help but said: "I guess I can't wait..." After taking two steps, he still said softly: "Suyu, Suyu, no matter what, thank you young hero for your kindness."

Su Yu?Jian Suyu's father? !Xie Yan was chaotic in the wind.Hurry up hurry up!What should he call Jian Suyu's father?

When carrying the lotus seed soup to Zhengfeng, Xie Yan was still wondering why Jian Suyu's appearance was so different from that of old man Jian.Although the old man Jian said that he could vaguely see the heroic demeanor of his youth with his sword eyebrows and star eyes, but Jian Suyu's handsome long eyebrows were stained with murderous intent due to his years of specialization in kendo. And those thin lips that are as pale as water...it doesn't look like it at all.

Xie Yan was thinking wildly, when he raised his eyes, he saw the person in his mind appeared in front of him.

With her eyes closed, Jian Suyu was sitting quietly on the thousand-year-old ice pond in white clothes, her whole body was filled with the chilling coldness of the ice, and she had a truly exquisite temperament.When Xu Shi heard the movement, he frowned slightly, and the pool of water under him suddenly turned into a layer of ice when his mind relaxed, making a slight sound.

"Senior Brother, Senior Brother!" Xie Yan raised his feet, frantically avoiding the ice formation that was spreading towards him.

The people on the pool suddenly opened their eyes, and their delicate eyes were full of frost and coldness: "What's the matter?"

Seeing that he paid attention to himself, Xie Yan's tone became cheerful: "I was entrusted by someone to deliver something to you, here—" He lifted the food box forward and chattered, "Lotus seed soup. Uncle Jian said I have climbed thousands of ladders at a very old age, just to give you a bowl of lotus seed soup..." He spoke smoothly, completely oblivious to the fact that the person opposite had already pursed his lips tightly and his face was stern.

A chilling sword aura rushed towards his face, and in an instant the food box in Xie Yan's hand was torn apart, and even a lot of juice splashed on Xie Yan's face, carrying the faint fragrance of lotus flowers.

"Get out." Jian Suyu closed her eyes and said coldly.

Seeing that the attack was angered, and he was still very angry, Xie Yan took a breath, startled, angry and confused, a little at a loss: "Brother? I just want to see Uncle Jian—"

"Who are you to me?" Jian Suyu's cold tone seemed to carry a hint of sarcasm, "Why should you meddle in my affairs?"

"I..." Xie Yan rubbed his frozen cheeks, breathed hot air towards his hands, and tried to explain, "Why don't you calm down for a while, and I'll explain to you after you calm down."

Hearing this, Jian Suyu really calmed down for a while, but she spoke mercilessly: "Wishful thinking."

wishful thinking? ... Are you talking about him?Xie Yan looked around subconsciously, but there were only the two of them on the huge ice pool.

It turned out that everything Xie Yan did was nothing more than four words in his eyes - wishful thinking.It felt like someone had punched him hard in his heart, no wonder no matter what he did to please him, that person always looked on coldly, as if he was watching a joke.Xie Yan suddenly realized, and there was inevitably a little sadness in his eyes. Gu Deng was right, this person is an exile, a cold-faced and heartless exile...

"I'll pretend you haven't said some things, but I still want to know—" Xie Yan took a deep breath, coughing violently due to the cold, and the peach blossom eyes that used to be full of amorous feelings fell silent, "Have you ever said anything?" Was there ever a moment... even a blink of an eye's heartbeat?"

Jian Suyu, who was frowning, paused unconsciously when she heard the words, staring at those eyes that were as silent as a deep pool, but couldn't answer.

"Okay, I see." Xie Yan turned around neatly, looked at a snow-white pear flower on the ground that was blown in at some time, and smiled wryly.

"Thank you, I—" the person behind him suddenly said, but he didn't say anything more.

Xie Yan waited for a while, until the fire in his heart slowly extinguished, and pretended to be relaxed: "If there is nothing, there will be nothing, there is nothing to say - then I will not bother you in the future."

The strange thing is that he was still in the mood to worry that Liu Gudeng would die, Xie Yan smiled self-deprecatingly, turned his head and thought about giving him one last look.

However, the person in front of him was getting farther and farther away from him, and became more and more blurred until it blurred into a dazzling white halo, and finally this halo gradually became the sun at noon in the dog days, making people almost unable to open their eyes.

"What are you doing staring at the sun?" Someone next to him asked, wearing a pitch-black gown with a scarlet Asura ghost mask on his face.Behind him is a post station where people come and go, shouting, talking, cups clinking, endless.

"I just remembered something from ten years ago. Puxin wine...it's been ten years." Xie Yan lowered his head and drank the clear water in the bowl in a muffled voice.From the corner of his eye, he quietly looked at the person who was carrying Xiao Lian beside him, thinking that this person hadn't changed at all except his white hair.

Unexpectedly, Jian Suyu was staring at him intently, and instantly met his eyes, relatively speechless.

Just at this time, a loud "serve" came from behind, so Xie Yan averted his gaze.
