Xuan Lao was slightly stunned:
"Why do you ask?"
Her lips pursed slightly, her eyelids drooped, Hua Fengyan lowered her head and did not speak.
Xuan Lao looked at her, and his voice was faint:
"I heard that at the temple meeting some time ago, both Jing and you left the table one after another, but is there such a thing?"
Hua Fengyan was stunned, looked up at him, and her eyes flickered slightly:
"Grandpa, I didn't mean to, I just ...... at the time"
"At that time, Kagami suddenly left the table, so you followed him out of the table, right?"
Hua Fengyan looked at him with a knowing look, moved her lips as if she wanted to explain something, but nodded slowly.
Xuan Lao reached out and rubbed her head, and sighed:
"You, since you were a child, you like to follow behind the mirror like a fart, you follow what he does, you believe what he says, in front of you, his words are more effective than grandpa's words. ”
Hua Fengyan's cheeks were slightly red, and she leaned over and hugged Xuan Lao's arm and shook it:
In Yan'er's heart, grandpa is the most important person. ”
"Don't fool me, although grandpa is old, but not confused, if it is a mirror that comes here today, do you dare to hide in the quilt like this and not come out? I'm afraid I would have turned over and dressed up, right?"
Xuan Lao smiled, his smile gentle with a hint of banter.
"Grandpa!" Hua Fengyan glared at him with a red face, "You're here to laugh at me today?"
"The girl is not staying, grandpa understand......s," Xuan Lao sighed slightly, "However, you can't push too hard, girls still have to be reserved, don't follow others like a little tail all day long, especially the character of the mirror, it will backfire if you don't get it right." ”
Hua Fengyan muttered lowly:
"Who followed him all day, he was in the temple, and I was in the spiral...... It's so far away, I can't even follow it......"
Xuan Lao looked at her and looked a little serious:
"So, you left the meeting without permission because of the mirror, but what about the mirror?
Hua Fengyan shook her head:
"I don't know...... Kagami was very abnormal that day, as soon as he heard that the guards we sent to Galandel had killed the orcs, he anxiously asked me for the exact location, and then left without saying anything, and I saw that his state was not quite right, so I followed......"
"Orc Clan?" Xuan Lao frowned slightly, "What ......is the name of that river valley where the Demon Clan and the Orc Clan live together?"
"The Randolph Valley. ”
"Yes, that's it," Xuan Lao looked at her, his eyes revealing a hint of doubt, "Why, the mirror left the table because of this?"
Hua Fengyan nodded:
"He also braved the rain to go to the Yinfeng Valley in person, and he looked very anxious, as if he was looking for someone......
Xuan Lao looked at the gloom in her eyes, and his voice faintly revealed a hint of understanding:
"So, because of the orc clan in the Windswept Valley, he lost his temper with you?
Hua Fengyan lowered her head and did not speak, with a faint gloom in her eyes.
Xuan Lao sighed:
"It's just half-blood orcs, and it's worth making such a fuss?Mirror has always focused on his job and doesn't like to meddle in things, so how could he trouble you this time for the sake of an irrelevant orc matter?"
Hua Fengyan drooped her head a little listlessly:
"Who knows...... I also find it inexplicable......"
Xuan Lao frowned slightly, and his eyes were thoughtful:
"Speaking of which, the last time he came back from Galandelle, he said that he had made a friend through his training, and with the help of this friend, he was able to improve the ability of Laurel Feather ......"
Hua Fengyan was stunned, as if she was thinking about something, and her eyes gradually revealed surprise and uneasiness:
"Friend...... are still in Galandelle...... Isn't it .....!"
Xuan Lao looked at her with a somewhat complicated expression:
"Yan'er, you also said just now that he did not hesitate to leave the seat without permission from the temple council, and personally went to the Minstrel Valley to find someone......
"I'm afraid that this friend of the mirror is a member of the Orc Clan in the Wind Valley, and the guard you sent happens to be ......"
Hua Fengyan raised her head suddenly, her eyes revealing anxiety:
"Grandpa, could it be that among the orc clansmen killed by the guards I sent, the friend who happened to have a mirror ......?!"
"No wonder he was so abnormal that day, no wonder he was so angry with his always gentle manner...... It turned out that it was my own ......"
Her lips trembled slightly, Hua Fengyan's eyes gradually revealed a touch of sadness, her hand gently grabbed Xuan Lao's sleeve robe, she raised her face, and her voice was a little hoarse:
"But, but I didn't mean to! I didn't know his friend was in the Whispering Valley, and if I knew, I wouldn't let the guards hurt those orcs in the slightest!"
Xuan Lao looked at her, slowly patted her shoulder, and sighed:
"Yeon'...... It's already happened, so don't bother about it, if you want to launch a surprise attack without alarming the demons in the valley, and complete the killing with the fastest speed and the lowest casualties, it will inevitably hurt the orcs in the valley, and it's no wonder that you ...... at all."
The eye circles are red, the water under Hua Fengyan's eyes spreads, and her voice is low and hoarse:
“...... But Kagami said I was wrong, and he said I was better than the orcs......"
The voice choked and gradually stopped, Hua Fengyan lowered her head, her long hair fell down, slightly covering her face.
"He's never been so fierce to me, even that time he ......"
Listening to her choked voice, Xuan Lao was slightly stunned, and his brows slowly furrowed:
"What ...... that time, what's the matter, he's still haunting the past?"
Hua Fengyan lowered her head, and the snow-white wings behind her hung weakly between the futons, and her figure gradually trembled.
Xuan Lao sighed, reached out and wiped the tears on her cheeks, and said softly:
"Girl, don't be sad, grandpa will find him to reason later! This kid dares to bully you like this, and he doesn't seem to have me as a teacher in his eyes!"
"Our Yan'er is beautiful and powerful, he doesn't cherish the snow goggles, but some people are waiting in line. Okay, don't cry, no one really wants to cry after you become a flower cat. ”
Her cheeks were gradually wet with tears, a sea of water, Hua Fengyan choked and looked up at the white-haired old man in front of her with a kind smile and wiped her tears, her nose was sore, and she trembled and threw herself into Xuan Lao's arms and cried bitterly.
"Grandpa...... Grandpa, what should I do, what should I do......" Holding Xuan Lao's clothes tightly, Hua Fengyan burst into tears, crying like a little girl who had been wronged, "Jing must hate me to death now, he has not had a good face for me all these years......"
"Grandpa...... Am I wrong? Didn't I get wrong from the beginning......"
Xuan Lao patted her back gently, and his voice was low as if sighing:
"What people want to get and what they can achieve, they always need to pay, and even sometimes, they need to sacrifice, they need to pay for important things...... Girl, grandpa still said the same thing, since you have chosen this path, you will go on unswervingly...... Who in this world can tell what is right and what is wrong......"
Hua Fengyan cried and shook her head vigorously, her voice hoarse:
"Grandpa...... I can be ruthless, I can be cruel, I can give up and sacrifice everything, but ...... Only him...... I can't give up...... If losing him is the price I have to pay to move forward, I'd rather not ...... anything"
