The Path Toward Heaven

Liu Shisui thought that he didn't mean it that way, but what you said seemed... not wrong.

Xiao He suddenly asked: Do you know when I was the happiest in these years?

Liu Shisui shook his head.

Xiao He said, That's when I was holding your hand and running forward in the tunnel today.

Liu Shisui was stunned when he heard these words, a little embarrassed, his face was red and his ears were hot.

Seeing his appearance, Xiao He knew that he had misunderstood something, and said with a chuckle, What are you thinking about? I mean that bracelet.

Liu Shisui came to his senses and asked, Why?

Confirming that the person I'm waiting for is you, I feel much more relaxed. More importantly, the bracelet has finally left my body.

Thinking of the mental pressure this bracelet brought to her in the past ten years, Xiao He turned pale again.

The bracelet seemed to be watching her all the time, warning her that if she dared to go against Jing Jiu's will, it would cut her in two, no matter physically or mentally.

Because of this fear, she could only obey Jing Jiu's words, wait for Liu Shisui to appear, and secretly prepare for her escape without telling everyone in the Forest of Birth.

This kind of mental pressure is unbearable torture for anyone. To get rid of this kind of pressure, she must first take off this bracelet.

But she tried countless ways to get the bracelet off her wrist, and finally she even thought about cutting off her own hand.

But when she was about to drop the knife, she clearly felt that this method was useless.

She looked into Liu Shisui's eyes, and said softly: Ten years ago, he told me that I would meet you next year or later. But you never showed up. I bought that inn and remodeled the tunnels at the bottom of Haizhou City, but I still don't know who I am preparing for.

It's a bad feeling.

Lonely, helpless, at a loss.

Liu Shisui understood very well.

He knows best.

So he understood why Xiao He didn't like Young Master so much.

He wanted to touch her head, just like the young master did before, he stretched his hand halfway before realizing something was wrong, he retracted it embarrassedly, and said: Young master is really ruthless to outsiders.

Xiao He glanced at him with a hint of sarcasm.

Liu Shisui didn't understand the meaning hidden in her eyes, and continued, But we finally met.

That night, the city of Haizhou was full of lanterns. He was on the street, for some reason, he looked up and saw Xiao He on the restaurant.

What he saw was her eyes, but she saw the jasmine on his collar.

Thinking of that scene, Xiao He looked calm and said, Your son is really good to you.

Yeah, so I was very happy when I saw the bracelet. It turns out that the young master has been looking at me and worried about me, and he has never doubted me.

Liu Shisui smiled and said, I never thought that everyone in Qingshan would be fooled by me, even Xiwangsun, but I couldn't fool him.

Xiao He said: I didn't expect that with your personality, you could still deceive people.

Liu Shisui touched his head in embarrassment, and said, Actually, my acting skills are very good.

Xiao He glanced at him, smiled and said nothing.

Really, you don't know that the day I left Qingshan, I acted really well. Do you know how to perform in that state? First of all, I have to get my appearance right. I haven't washed my hair for half a year, and I roll on the ground every day, making my clothes worn out. I also stay up late so that my eyes can turn red and haggard. When I finally appear, I look like a ghost.

Liu Shisui said beamingly, and kept waving his hands, getting more and more excited.

Of course, the most important thing is emotion and language. I know I'm a bit stupid, so I practiced it many times. The unwillingness, despair, and anger are really too similar to the acting. It is definitely at the level of crying. You were not there at the time, otherwise you would definitely cry, especially the few words you asked the young master when your meridian was interrupted and you were expelled from the mountain gate. It was perfect! Even I was moved, and...

Xiao He suddenly said, Have you ever thought that Jing Jiu would be very angry when he knew you were lying to him?

Liu Shisui's expression was slightly stagnant, and he said, Uh... I haven't thought about it.

Have you never thought about it or have you never dared to think about it?

Xiao He's eyes moved slightly, and she said, You were so moved by what you said, is it possible that you really thought so at that time?

Liu Shisui thought for a while, then sighed and said, Maybe it's a little bit. At that time, everyone thought that I stole the demon pill. I was tortured on the Virtue Peak and forgotten in Tianguang Peak, but I thought that the young master would always care about me. He should believe me. Who knew that he continued to travel around the world and never came back. Even after he came back, it was the same. Don't say to visit me, he didn't even ask someone to tell me.

Seeing the sad expression on his face, Xiao He shook her head angrily, and said, Aren't you stupid, you just said you couldn't lie to him, since he knows the truth, why would he bother with you?

Liu Shisui woke up again and said, That's right.

Immediately afterwards, he said, No.

Xiao He opened her eyes wide and asked, Is it right or not?

Liu Shisui's eyes lit up, and he said, Since the young master knew the truth a long time ago, he was able to remain so calm... This is good acting. I'm really far behind him, and I'm still a little exaggerated.

Xiao He couldn't stand it anymore, so she found a teapot to fill some spring water, and poured herself a glass.

Liu Shisui didn't pay attention to what she was doing at all, and continued: Young master is good at everything. When he was at my house, he only took nine days to learn everything. The transplanting was as straight as a line. Then I went home and practiced for a long time, but it was still worse than him. By the way, there is also the sword that the young master left for you. You saw it too. It is not an ordinary flying sword, but a fairy step...

Xiao He finally became interested when he heard this, and asked, What kind of sword is that?

Liu Shisui said: How do I know. You have many good things around you. When I was in Nansong Pavilion, he gave me a pill.

Xiao He didn't want to say anything more, thinking that of course Jing Jiu gave you medicine, otherwise why would you adore him so much as a natural Daoist?

Young master has many good things and many secrets, but I can't tell you.

Liu Shisui continued: Zhao Layue, have you heard of it? That's our Qingshan Sect's Shenmo Peak Master. She also has a secret, and that secret is related to the young master. I happen to know it too, but I still can't tell you.

Xiao He couldn't bear it anymore, and said, Were you such a talkative person before?

In the restaurant in Haizhou City, when they ate at the table, they often didn't say a word from the beginning to the end.

In her mind, Liu Shisui is a character who endures humiliation and has great ambitions. Silence and perseverance are natural temperaments.

Who would have thought that after leaving Haizhou City, he would become so verbose.

Liu Shisui was stunned for a long time before continuing to speak, but his voice became much deeper.

I haven't been able to speak so freely in a long time.

Because there are many secrets hidden, because there is a lot of pressure, because you have to hide it from your classmates and enemies.

The little boy in the small mountain village who was curious about everything and talked a lot has been silent for many years.

Xiao He hugged him into her arms and patted his back lightly.
