Chapter 63: Resignation
It's night.
Tang Xiaobai stuffed the written letter into the envelope, carefully sealed it with wax, put it on the table, and finally stood up and gently blew out the light.
After everything was done, Tang Xiaobai walked to the door, the door creaked open, and he stepped forward to go out.
Jing Yu was waiting in the courtyard, and when he saw her come out, he stepped forward and smiled, "I, walk with you." ”
Tang Xiaobai nodded, "Master called you here?"
Jing Yu snorted, which was an admission. The two of them walked down the hill one after the other in the darkness of the night.
When he reached the gate of the mountain, Jing Yu, who was silent all the way, couldn't help but ask, "Don't go, do you want to say goodbye?"
Tang Xiaobai turned around and glanced at the dark night of the mountain gate, and said lightly, "Forget it, if she knows, she will be sentimental again." ”
"Tang Xiaobai!" happened to be a crisp and angry female voice from the mountain gate in front, and several torches lit up in front of it.
Tang Xiaobai was surprised to see that dozens of disciples in the Nansui Valley who had dealings with her in the past were all standing at the gate of the mountain, and it seemed that they had been waiting here for a long time.
Nan Sui was aggrieved and angry, and rushed over to count her down, "Why don't you tell me if you want to leave?" If I hadn't got the news in the afternoon, would you really have planned to leave so quietly?"
Tang Xiaobai had a guilty look on his face, and said softly, "I...... Not intentionally. ”
Nan Sui suddenly burst into tears, stepped forward and hugged her and said, "I don't care, I want to follow you." ”
Tang Xiaobai was not used to such intimate physical contact, but he didn't ruthlessly push away Nan Sui who was hanging on his body, his arm was hesitantly raised, and he patted her back lightly and comfortingly, "This trip is dangerous, you don't have to be willful, stay at ease to cultivate, and wait for me to come back." ”
Seeing that she didn't agree to take her, Nan Sui suddenly cried louder and louder, "You just don't want to take me because of my low cultivation, aren't you?
Tang Xiaobai couldn't cry or laugh, "How could it be." ”
She was not good at words, especially in this tricky situation in front of her, so she had to look at the wind season for help. The latter shook his head and gave her a sympathetic look that could not help her.
"If not, take it, Nansui, let's go together. Jing Yu saw that her sister was crying so pitifully, and she couldn't help but help say good things.
Tang Xiaobai frowned and thought about the feasibility, but Nansui didn't give her a chance to think, seeing Jing Yu helping, she hurriedly shook her arm and coquettishly, "Xiaobai Xiaobai, you can take me there, I still have Shanyue and Xingchuan by my side to protect, and I will never hold back at critical moments, okay?"
Feng Ji also persuaded with a smile, "The world is indeed not dangerous, not to mention that Jing Yu is a prince, and her safety is guaranteed, so why don't you take her with you." ”
Seeing that the wind season also came to persuade him, Tang Xiaobai had no choice but to agree, "Then you must not act impulsively, you must hide when you encounter something." ”
Nan Sui was overjoyed, nodded busily, and the two spirit beasts around him were driven by their masters, and they also followed and chirped in circles at their feet.
Seeing that she agreed to Nansui to follow, a small flame of longing ignited in her heart, and she also followed timidly and walked over timidly, pulled Tang Xiaobai's sleeves, and said pitifully, "Can that sister also take me?"
He hurriedly added, "I have a heart stone, and I won't hold back." ”
Tang Xiaobai smiled, rubbed his head, and softened his voice to persuade, "You are too young, you should stay here and cultivate with peace of mind first, and I will write to you from time to time." ”
Aoi Gu didn't have much expectations, but when he heard this sentence with his own ears, he couldn't help but hang his head in frustration, let out a sullen sigh, and retreated to the side of the wind season, silent.
Feng Ji looked at her with a smile and said softly, "Have a safe journey." ”
Tang Xiaobai snorted, and looked behind him uneasily, "Aoi Gu will trouble you to take care of it." ”
Feng Ji nodded in response and said gently, "I'm sure we'll see you again." He calmly stated the unknown possibilities, but there was no uncertainty in his tone.
"Yes", Tang Xiaobai nodded, "I'll see you again." ”
She felt that way, too.
They never needed to say much to each other, and Feng Ji nodded and said "take care" to make way for her. The disciples of the Heguang Sect who came to see him off also followed him one after another to get out of the way.
Tang Xiaobai glanced at the crowd, but did not find the red figure in it, and secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.
OK. If that person comes, I'm afraid there will be a lot of noise again.
She bowed solemnly, "Thank you for taking care of you, Xiaobai is grateful." ”
Everyone returned the salute and said in unison, "Have a safe journey." ”
Tang Xiaobai nodded, no longer delayed, and Jing Yu Nansui and his party quickly left the mountain gate and went down the mountain.
Feng Ji stood in place, until he saw her figure completely disappear at the end of the road, then he sighed softly and said to everyone, "Go back." ”
The torches were extinguished, and everyone went back to their dwellings. The Wako faction once again regained the tranquility of the night.
......
When the crowd dispersed for a short time, a long figure walked out of the front door in the dark, stopped at the gate of the mountain, scratched his head strangely, and muttered in a low voice, "Didn't you say that the third watch was here?"
The boy waited for another quarter of an hour, but no one came, and when he secretly wondered if the wind season was deceiving people, he saw a short and fat figure running over behind him panting.
Fukuda bent over his knees and gasped for breath as he said, "Old, boss." ”
Hyun Gyu glanced at him and asked, "What about people?"
Fukuda looked left and right, and then asked, "What about people?"
Hyun Gyu tapped him on the head, "What about you, I ask you!"
Fukuda spread his hands, "I don't know." ”
Hyun Gyu said angrily, "How did the wind season tell you?"
Futian said, "He said that he would gather at the gate of the mountain on the third watch, and he wanted to send Tang Xiaobai or something......" As he spoke, he took out a crumpled paper ball from his arms.
Hyun Gyu impatiently took the paper ball and spread it out, a small flame flicked up from his fingertips to illuminate it, and he read intermittently, "... Tomorrow's second watch...... At the gate of the mountain... Send a little white ......"
"What?" Fukuda was stunned, faintly feeling that he was going to be beaten again, and subconsciously shrunk his neck.
Hyun Gyu threw the paper ball and glared at Fukuda in annoyance, but he didn't make a move, and walked straight towards the bottom of the mountain.
"Boss, boss. Fukuda hurriedly followed up and smiled, "Boss, why are you going?"
Hyun Gyu kicked him in the ass, "Don't get in the way, I'll chase someone." ”
Fukuda shouted, rushed up in a panic and hugged his leg and cried, "Boss, don't chase it, everyone is gone, let's mourn and change." ”
"You're big!" Hyungui slammed down with a shudder and said angrily, "Let go." ”
"Don't let go!" Fukuda hugged his thighs like a stake.
"If the Boss leaves like this, the Great Elder will skin me. Fukuda cried.
Hyun Gyu was helpless and looked at the sky with white eyes, "What do you want?"
Fukuda wiped all his snot and tears on Hyungui's boots, and said with teary eyes, "Boss, you're not actually going to say goodbye, you're going to leave with her, right?"
Hyun Gyu is silent, which counts as a default.
"Then you take me, and I will go too. He looked loyal, but he was mainly worried that the Great Elder would blame him, so he simply followed his own boss and left.
Hyun Gyu snorted, as if he was a trouble, but Fukuda was really entangled, and finally had to reluctantly compromise, "If you want to follow, you can follow." ”
Fukuda's eyes lit up, his clumsy body was extremely flexible, he jumped up after rubbing, and patted the soil on his clothes with a smile, "Then let's go quickly." ”
The moonlight illuminated the earth through, reflecting the tall and short figures, hurriedly chasing down the mountain.
