When Shen Muzhi arrived at Zhou Yu's residence, it was already completely dark.

When Zhou Yu heard that he was going to stay here, he asked in surprise, "Isn't your sister Su not living in Xiaomei Garden? Why don't you go back to live?"

Shen Muzhi couldn't tell Zhou Yu about the unhappiness between him and Lin Changying, so he had to find an excuse to prevaricate: "My room over there has not been a little dusty for so many days, and I haven't had time to clean it today, so I have to bother with Senior Brother here." Senior brother won't drive me away, will he?"

Although Zhou Yu is sometimes bigger-hearted, he is not stupid. Lin Changying and Shen Muzhi went to Zhao Zhengguang successively, and then Shen Muzhi proposed to let Su Hua move out of Xiaomei Garden, and now he doesn't go back to live in Xiaomei Garden, anyone with a discerning eye can see this, it must be a contradiction between him and Lin Changying, and most of this contradiction has something to do with that Miss Su.

After thinking about it for a while, Zhou Yu didn't choose to pretend to be stupid, but asked directly: "Did Lin Changying make trouble with you?"

Shen Muzhi was not surprised that Zhou Yu could guess, after all, he was next to him when he and Lin Changying went to Zhao Zhengguang's place. It's just that the excuse just now was debunked, which is somewhat embarrassing. After sneering for a while, Shen Muzhi said: "Senior brother can see it!"

"Because of your Sister Su's business, right?" Zhou Yu asked again.

Shen Muzhi nodded with a wry smile, thinking of the reason why Lin Changying had never said, so he frowned and asked Zhou Yu: "Senior brother, do you know why Miss Lin is so opposed? Miss Su is just staying for a few days, and she doesn't live in the same building with her, this small plum garden is so large, the two of them can completely do well water without river water, why does she have to do this?"

When Zhou Yu heard this, he suddenly sighed, and immediately explained in Shen Muzhi's puzzled gaze: "Lin Changying is like this, probably because of the death of her parents. You should have heard some of it now, her parents have always been considered to be in collusion with the demon clan, and she has been criticized for all these years because of this matter, so it is understandable that she is so resistant to Miss Su now. ”

Regarding Lin Changying's parents, Shen Muzhi didn't know much about them, but he had heard about them somewhat. It's just that Lin Changying's attitude was too tough at that time, and he also lost his temper for a while, so he didn't think about it in that direction at all. Now that I was reminded by Zhou Yu like this, and then thought about the rumors I had heard in the past six months since I started, I suddenly woke up.

Moreover, in this way, it is understandable why when he asked the reason, Lin Changying never let go.

It's really hard for her to talk about such a thing.

After figuring out the reason and thinking back on this incident, Shen Muzhi couldn't help but realize that this incident was indeed his negligence from the beginning. He should have asked Lin Changying's opinion before making a decision. After all, this little plum garden is not his residence alone, and Lin Changying is also one of the owners. If he wants people to move in, he should ask her.

At this time, Zhou Yu said again: "It's also that I'm not good, when I went to look for you before, I should have asked you." I thought you had already discussed it with Lin Changying. As he spoke, he smiled apologetically at Shen Muzhi. Seeing this, Shen Muzhi hurriedly said: "It's because I didn't think it through myself, and it has nothing to do with senior brother." ”

Zhou Yu persuaded him: "I think you don't want to live with me today, now that you know the reason, go back to live." If you just stay with me like this, it looks like you're still angry with her. When I look back, Master knows, maybe I still have to think that you are ignorant and say a few words about you!"

Shen Muzhi was indeed a little angry, so he planned to stay with Zhou Yu for a few days. But after knowing that this is the reason at this moment, naturally there is nothing to be angry about, but a little ashamed. Moreover, if he calms down and thinks about it, if he really stays with Zhou Yu like this, the relationship between him and Lin Changying will inevitably be even more embarrassing.

Although he didn't want to obey Zhao Zhengguang's arrangement and have a more intimate relationship with Lin Changying in the future, Lin Changying was also the person the master cared about after all, and if he handled this relationship too badly, the master would definitely feel uncomfortable in his heart.

Thinking about it, Shen Muzhi said to Zhou Yu: "Senior brother is right. I'll go back to the Little Plum Garden. ”

Zhou Yu saw that he promised to go back, so he said that he would send him back, but Shen Muzhi didn't let him send it, so he didn't insist anymore.

Although it is the height of summer, the night on Zhengyang Peak is still as cool as spring. The breeze is blowing, with a faint fragrance of the mountains and forests, gently blowing by, as if there is some kind of magical power, which makes people can't help but relax, and those troubles and tiredness seem to be blown by the breeze and quietly go away with the wind.

When I returned to the small plum garden, the small wooden building hidden between the bamboo forests was already lit with candles.

The dim light is divided into a series of faint yellow lights by the dense bamboo forest, which is particularly cold and lonely in this silent night.

Shen Muzhi couldn't help but think of the rumors he had heard again.

It is said that she was sent to Linqi Island at a very young age, and since then she has lived alone.

That Linqi Island, he has been there.

Not to mention a very young child, but also an adult, I am afraid that I will not be able to stand living alone on that uninhabited island for several years.

So, how did she survive?

In those dark nights, whether it was the same was only accompanied by a lone lamp.

The more he thought about this, the more Shen Muzhi felt that he had done something inappropriate to let Su Hua temporarily live in Xiaomei Garden. After hesitating for a long time, Shen Muzhi walked towards the small wooden building hidden behind the bamboo forest.

It was the first time he had been there.

In order to avoid misunderstanding, he deliberately put his steps very heavy, so before he could get closer, Lin Changying had already appeared downstairs.

"What are you doing?" In the dark, Lin Changying's voice was as cold as the water of a cold pool.

When Shen Muzhi heard the voice, he stopped. A few feet apart from the two, there was a dense clump of green bamboo, and he looked in the direction where the voice came from, and sure enough, he couldn't see anything.

She's probably dressed in black again.

Shen Muzhi smiled bitterly and replied, "The previous thing was that I didn't think about it well. I should have consulted you in advance before making a decision, this matter is my fault, I apologize to you, I'm sorry. ”

After the bamboo forest, there was a moment of silence.

Then, another voice sounded, although it was still very cold, but it was much better than just now: "This matter has passed, there is no need to mention it again." ”

When Shen Muzhi heard this, he was silent for a while, and then bowed his hand to Lin Changying, who couldn't see it, and said goodbye: "Then Miss Lin should rest early." With that, he took two steps back and turned to leave.

Downstairs, Lin Changying looked at the direction where Shen Muzhi's footsteps gradually moved away, and there was a faint complicated look on his face.

The night passed silently.

Shen Mu's heart was filled with a lot of things, and he couldn't sleep at night, so he simply didn't sleep, and punched on the grass in front of the door all night.

In the early morning of the second day, You Yi of Jianshou Peak suddenly came.

Not long after he came, Zhou Yu came to Xiaomeiyuan to spread the word, saying that Zhao Zhengguang asked Shen Muzhi to go over immediately.

Shen Muzhi hurriedly followed Zhou Yu to the Little Spirit Sword Pavilion, and found that You Yi was also there, and after being stunned for a moment, he hurriedly gave You Yi a salute. After You returned the salute, he smiled and exchanged a few words with him.

Every time You Yi saw him, he was enthusiastic. But for some reason, Shen Muzhi has never been able to get close to this You Yi, and there is always an inexplicable vigilance in his heart.

At this time, Zhao Zhengguang waited for the two of them to greet each other, and immediately said to Shen Muzhi: "The head wants Su Hua to go to the forbidden land, do you have any opinions?"

The head asked Su Hua to go to the forbidden land?

Shen Muzhi couldn't help but be stunned, what kind of place is this forbidden land?

At this time, You Yi next to him smiled at Zhao Zhengguang and said, "Uncle Zhao's words are a little incorrect. This is an order from the boss, not a recommendation. In other words, even if Senior Brother Shen disagrees with this matter, it is useless. ”

Zhao Zhengguang didn't look at him, just stared at Shen Muzhi, and said, "You just have to say that you don't agree." ”

Although Shen Muzhi had long expected that the Sword Shoufeng would definitely have an opinion on Su Hua's matter, he didn't expect that he would come to a conclusion so quickly.

After being stunned for a moment, Shen Muzhi quickly calmed down, and after a little groaning, he asked Zhao Zhengguang: "What kind of place is this forbidden land?"

When Zhao Zhengguang heard this, he was silent for a while, then turned his head to look at You Yi and said, "You can explain." ”

After You Yi glanced at Zhao Zhengguang, under Shen Muzhi's inquiring gaze, he opened his mouth to explain: "There are two places in the Great Sword Gate that you can't easily get out of after entering. One is the dungeon in charge of Lord Zhao Feng. There is also a forbidden place in charge of the master. As the name suggests, this forbidden place is a place where it is strictly forbidden to enter, but once inside, it is difficult to get out. ”

Shen Muyi listened as his brows gradually furrowed. After he finished speaking, he was silent for a while, and then asked, "That means that after Miss Su goes in, it will be difficult to get out?"

You Yi thought for a moment and said, "The head didn't say this, and I can't speculate at will." After finishing speaking, he looked at Shen Muzhi's face, then turned his head to look at Zhao Zhengguang, and after a little hesitation, he said: "However, the head of this matter has already ordered, so there is no room for it." Senior Brother Shen should go and prepare early. ”

Shen Muzhi turned his head to look at Zhao Zhengguang, and after a little hesitation, he opened his mouth and asked, "Can the disciple disagree?"

Zhao Zhengguang nodded: "Of course you can." ”

Next to him, You Yi suddenly frowned, stared at Zhao Zhengguang, and shouted in a deep voice: "Lord Zhao Feng, this matter has been decided!"

Zhao Zhengguang turned his eyes to look at him and said lightly: "You go back and tell your master, just say that I don't agree with this matter." If he has to do this, let him come to Zhengyang Peak to bring people in person. ”

You Yi's face became ugly, and after turning his head and glancing at Shen Muzhi's expression, he said to Zhao Zhengguang: "Senior Uncle Zhao, you know my master's temper, then Su Hua is just a demon clan, is it really worth it?"

"Just take what you just said back and tell your master. Zhao Zhengguang obviously didn't want to talk to him more, and when the words fell, one person had already gotten up from the stone table, and then without waiting for You Yi to speak again, he said to Shen Muzhi: "You come in with me." After speaking, he turned around and walked towards the Little Spirit Sword Pavilion.

You Yidu had already opened his mouth slightly, and when he saw this, he had to close it again.

Shen Muzhi and You Yi bowed: "Senior brother, walk slowly." After that, he didn't care about You Yi anymore, and followed Zhao Zhengguang directly into the Little Spirit Sword Pavilion.

Behind him, as soon as You saw that his master and apprentice were like this, he naturally didn't stay any longer, and turned around and left Zhengyang Peak.

In the Little Spirit Sword Pavilion, Shen Muzhi followed Zhao Zhengguang directly to the second floor.

After arriving on the second floor, Zhao Zhengguang stood by the window, looking at the vast green outside the window, with a slightly solemn expression.

Shen Muzhi stood not far away, quietly glanced at Zhao Zhengguang's side face, and asked tentatively, "Master, what if the head of the sect really comes to get people in person?"

Zhao Zhengguang was silent for a while, then suddenly turned his head to look at him and asked, "What will happen to you if I agree to hand over Su Hua to Jianshou Peak?"

Shen Muzhi couldn't help but be stunned.

Since he decided to make that deal with Su Hua, he thought that Zhao Zhengguang might be very embarrassed because of this, but he never thought that Zhao Zhengguang would not be on his side. At this moment, Zhao Zhengguang's words were like a slap in the face, which suddenly made him stunned.

After a moment, he lowered his head to avoid Zhao Zhengguang's gaze and said, "No matter what decision you make, the disciple will not complain. ”

"Then will you choose to accept it?" Zhao Zhengguang asked again.

Shen Muzhi was silent.

He couldn't answer that question.

Now that they are in the Great Sword Gate, even if they resist, I am afraid that they will not be able to escape. If Shen Muzhi was alone, the big deal would be to give up his life, but Su Hua's life was not something he could call the shots.

It's just that if he wants to ask Su Hua this question, he can't ask it.

What he was most afraid of was that Su Hua might worry about his situation and wronged himself at that time.

If that's the case, I'm afraid it's worse than killing him.

It's also to blame him, he is used to relying on Zhao Zhengguang, and he always feels that he has protection, even if Su Hua is a demon clan, it shouldn't be difficult to find a foothold.

But he forgot that even if Zhao Zhengguang had a high status in the Great Sword Sect, he was still under one person after all.
