The autumn wind rustled and the night wind was cold. The two of them stood silently. At this moment, it was the most silent, rendering the silence of the courtyard.
After waiting for a long time, no one spoke. Dreamless Tanhua sighed softly. He walked closer, and his childish voice entered her ear. "Li Duan, do you still hate Mother?" Li Duan turned slightly, avoiding the little hand that wanted to touch her. She didn't want to answer.
"I know you hate me. If I can pass this tribulation, I will make it up to you.
Actually, Li Duan, I am already very satisfied that you are willing to see me!
Just think of it as my selfishness. In the future, can you come to see me often? "
"I …" Li Duan secretly shook her head. She wanted to refuse, but she didn't know where to start.
"Can't I?
Li Duan … "Dreamless Tanhua asked again. His urgent pleading made Li Duan's heart waver." Okay! "" Really? "He excitedly stepped forward and grabbed Li Duan's shoulder." Eh!
Sorry, I am too happy! "
Letting go of her hand, Dreamless Tanhua took two steps back. Li Duan saw this and was slightly worried, but immediately shook her head. "It's okay!" Perhaps, she shouldn't be troubled by prejudice for so long. Should she really blame her?
… …
The sound of approaching footsteps woke Cang Yu from her contemplation. She looked back at the person who came. "Li Duan!" "En!
Senior, I am sorry to have made you wait for so long! "Cang Yu heard this and punched Li Duan's chest." What are you saying!
Between us brothers, when do we need to be so polite! "" Hiss ~ "Li Duan covered her slightly painful chest and obediently nodded." Yes. "
"Let's go!"
He wrapped his arm around Li Duan's shoulder. "I'm guessing that you're not in the mood to watch the process of transcending the tribulation, so I've made a special trip to free you. Let's go, let's go get drunk again!" "Again … again?" Li Duan was shocked.
She quickly stopped.
"No!
We are going out secretly! "" But we haven't asked for permission from the Sect. "
Silly Li Duan, how could they go out after asking for permission!
"Didn't we go out together last time? Since we have done it once, we don't care about the second time. Listen to me, that's right!" "But last time, you clearly lied to me!" "Did I?
How? "
Li Duan was at a loss for words, "Senior Martial Brother, you …" "What about me?" Sigh, he shook his head helplessly, "I keep having the feeling that we're doing something bad."
"You're thinking too much. We're taking care of those pitiful shops. Think about it, if no one patronizes them, they'll starve. Therefore, this is considered as doing a good deed. Compared to this strict version of the sect's rules, it's much more meaningful." "This, sounds reasonable." But he still felt that something was wrong.
"Haha!
That's only natural. When would I ever harm you? Let's go, I'll lead the way. "
Two dark figures carefully descended from the sky and slowly approached the stone wall. "Senior Brother, why don't we fly out from the sky?" "Shh!
We're taking a shortcut. Flying is too obvious, you know?
Moreover, the spiritual energy fluctuations will attract patrolling disciples, and we won't be able to get out! "
"But aren't we doing a good deed? I believe that if we explain to them properly, they'll let us go." Cang Yu stopped, turned around, and put her hands on Li Duan's shoulders.
"Li Duan, I'm telling you, you must keep a low profile when doing good deeds. You can't let others know, you know?
Only by keeping a low profile can you live a long life. Look at those people who are too famous for doing good deeds, their results aren't too good.
So you must keep your life to do more good deeds. "" Yes, Senior Brother, I'll remember! "
Senior Brother is so great. So you're always a nameless hero. In the future, I'll learn from Senior Brother.
After walking for a while, Cang Yu stopped and looked up at the towering white stone wall. Three eaves pierced through both sides, one on the left and one on the right. They couldn't see the bottom.
The dark blue tiles were suffused with a moonlight white light. Under the pressure of the erect wall, the stone wall seemed to be rolling towards the two people.
Behind the eaves of the third floor, there was a dense and green bamboo forest. It was so fine that it seemed to be in front of them, but it was hundreds of meters away!
"Li Duan, I'll go up first to check the wind. If there's no problem, you can come up with me later." After saying this, Cang Yu tucked the hem of her robe into her waist and lightly climbed up the wall. Her nimble hands snaked up the uneven wall, but in a short while, she reached the first eaves.
Without stopping, she continued towards the second eaves.
Senior Brother … "Who's there?"
The sudden voice startled Li Duan. When he looked up, the moonlight suddenly dimmed and he couldn't see Senior Brother's shadow.
Should he chase after him?
No!
The patrolling disciples had already discovered him. If he followed, he was afraid that he would implicate Senior Brother. Moreover, he hadn't done anything bad. If he rashly ran out, it would be even harder to explain. It was better to properly explain to them.
"You are?"
The two green-clothed disciples cautiously approached Li Duan. When they saw Li Duan's Sword Faction disciple robe, they relaxed a little.
"Two — Junior Brothers!
Sorry, I, I didn't want to climb over the wall! "" Climb over the wall? "
The two green-clothed disciples looked at each other and stood in a row in front of Li Duan. "Why didn't you go through the main door?
Did you have any orders? "Li Duan shook his head and honestly replied," No! "" Then you want to go out on your own? "" Yes!
As a disciple, you should know that without permission, you can't go out on your own. "
"Li Duan understands!"
"Then what are you going to do here?
This is already the outer wall. We have reason to believe that you want to go out! "The green-clothed disciples didn't seem to intend to let him go and continued to press him.
"I, Li Duan!
Let me tell you, you must keep a low profile when doing good deeds. You can't let others know, do you understand? "
"I can't say!" He couldn't betray Senior Brother.
"Since that's the case, we can only offend you!
Please come with us to the Judicial Hall. We need to know your identity and your purpose. "
Li Duan thought that he didn't commit any crime, so there shouldn't be any severe punishment. Moreover, the two of them acted impartially and didn't do anything wrong. He couldn't hurt them. "Okay, I'll go with you!" Senior Brother … Sorry, I can't drink with you tonight!
Cang Yu waited for a while under the eaves of the third floor, but Li Duan still didn't come up. He had no choice but to release his Divine Sense to check downwards, but he happened to see the scene of Li Duan being taken away by the patrolling disciples.
He had a headache, but it was also difficult to care about it. The Judicial Hall wouldn't do anything to Li Duan because he was the adopted son of the Dreamless Venerable. But without his good friend's wine, how could he drink?
Forget it, he was doomed not to be a 'good person' tonight. Ah, really, it was super uncomfortable!
It was night, and the moonlight shone on the surface of the quiet lake. It also shone on the figure standing quietly by the lake. His dark blue robe was gently caressed by the night breeze, but it still could not drive away the loneliness of that person.
His anger had dissipated, and what was left was a heart full of disappointment and sadness.
With a wave of his hand, a scroll appeared out of thin air and unfolded before the man. His indifferent eyes finally had a hint of gentleness as he looked at the person in the scroll.
Longing was the portrayal of one's heart. Sadness was the regret of loss. What he thought was indifferent was now so important.
A circle of ripples appeared on the surface of the lake, and a reflection slowly floated out. Seeing this, the man immediately put away the scroll and looked at the person who suddenly appeared indifferently. In the end, he still found him.
"Young Master!
I finally found you. The old family head has been waiting for you for a long time, please come back with me. "
"Jian Han, I didn't expect the person to be you. With your status, you should be calling me Elder Brother."
The reflection waved his hand, his face full of fear. "This, how would I dare? I'm just a lowly bastard, I wouldn't dare to claim such high status!"
"The name 'Jian Han' already represents your status in the Han family. I haven't seen you for many years, but you're still so timid."
"I wouldn't dare. Since you're back, this name naturally belongs to you, Young Master. In the future, just call me Jian Han!"
"As you wish!"
"Mm." Jian Yi turned around and left with a smile on his face. However, the hands hidden under his sleeves were clenched tightly into fists. He was furious. 'Why?
I worked so hard for so many years to get the name of Han and the status I have today.
However, the moment Suihan appeared, he took everything away from me. I became a laughable clown again, a lowly and weak clown.
'You clearly said that you don't want the name of Han, that you don't care about the position of family head, so why did you come back now? I'm really unwilling to accept this. Was everything in the past a lie?
'Then you're really scheming. Suihan, how could you play with my feelings like this? I don't have an elder brother like you. I will take back what belongs to me one day.' Han 'can only be my name, it can only belong to me!'
He flew up and followed behind Jian Han. He turned his head to look back, as if he was reluctant to leave, as if he was bidding farewell … 'Junior Brother Yi, goodbye. I probably won't be able to hear your nagging anymore. Do you know that you're really annoying when you talk too much? But I'm used to it … Yan Yue, Yan Yue, I …' Grief surged up, but he didn't know what words to use to bid farewell to the love in his heart. He sighed helplessly and left it on the empty lake, dispelling the sadness in his heart.
With this departure, he would no longer have freedom. He was destined to live on a journey that had been planned long ago. He had a high status, but he was just a pitiful puppet. In the end, he still came back. He came back to this family that was related to him by blood but had no family. It was a cold 'Burial Mound'!
