The weather was very cold, and a thin layer of ice formed on the surface of the lake, freezing the stems of the lotus flowers, which had withered and blackened. There is a slightly dilapidated pavilion in the middle of the lake, and the sound of "zizi" grease coming from it can be heard.

"Huh-huh——!" Bai Gu blew the meat sandwiched in the chopsticks, poured a little wine into his small wine cup, and didn't forget to mumble in his mouth, "As the saying goes, barbecue is wine, and the more you drink, the more you drink, the more you have." ”

Mu Yi, who was sitting on his right hand, held his cheeks, and his expression was very sad: "What kind of saying is this, it's not dumplings and wine, the more you drink, the more you drink, the more you have?"

Bai Gu waved his hand: "Hahaha, one thing, one thing." You can't afford to talk too much about a centenarian, let alone a centenarian who looks younger than you. ”

"Then, is that why you called me and Xingchen out?" Mu Yi looked at Xingchen, who was sitting on Bai Gu's left hand side, adding fire to the oven, and said to Bai Gu, "Just to accompany you to eat barbecue?" ”

Bai Gu smiled and poured a glass for Mu Yi with his small wine jug: "Don't complain so much, I have prepared a lot of good mutton, you can waste it if you don't eat it." ”

Xingchen quietly drank the wine in the cup, and stretched out his chopsticks to turn over the half-cooked meat in front of him. It seems that he is willing to participate in this do-it-yourself dining activity, and is not affected by the strange and dilapidated environment around him.

And Bai Gu didn't lie to them, this is really good mutton. The meat is tender, juicy, and almost unmistakable, making it ideal for charcoal grilling. If you bring an extra pot, it is also excellent to use it for slicing shabu-shabu.

"Besides, I didn't say that I came here just for fun," Bai Gu said, raising his eyes and looking at the opposite of him, "Isn't there a guest here?"

As soon as the words fell, the side of the table suddenly opened a door to the other spaces.

Seeing this, Xingchen and Mu Yi, who were sitting on both sides of Bai Gu, raised their eyes to look at the past.

Han Qiushu's head stretched out tentatively, looking at the three of them with a smile.

"Yo, where are they all?" Seeing the three of them, Han Yushu was not polite at all, and sat down at the vacant position at the table.

"Aren't you going to find a place for Carol too?" Seeing Yishuang standing quietly on the side, Bai Gu asked as he handed Han Qiushu chopsticks.

"Yishuang is not uncommon to participate in this kind of dinner," as he spoke, Han Yushu picked up a piece of raw meat and put it on the oven, and the mutton immediately emitted a burst of smoke and a "zizi" sound, "If she didn't leave an inch, she wouldn't have come with disdain." ”

For Han Qiushu, Xingchen is already very familiar. And Mu Yi has seen it once - that is, when White Crowe first took action in person. As for when Bai Gu saw him, I'm afraid it will only be earlier than Xingchen and Bai Gu.

At this time, the housekeeper Carol Itno (also known as Yishuang), who was standing on the side, spoke: "Mr. Bai Gu, the young master has something important to discuss with you. It's a little rude for you to bring things into mealtime. ”

Bai Gu was not angry, and after raising his head and drinking the contents of the cup, he said to her, "Miss Carol, the table is the place to get down to business. ”

"Please don't apply your cultural traditions to us. After saying that, Yishuang turned his head to look at the frozen lake in the distance with disdain, and stopped arguing.

Han Qiushu quietly made a "sorry" gesture, and then said: "Now that White Crowe is dead, both Mr. Bai Gu and I have already gone to a heart disease. ”

"When did you meet him?" Mu Yi interjected and asked, as if he was the only one who had met Han Qiushu the least.

"Very early," Han Qiushu replied to Mu Yi's question, "When White Crowe first started a large-scale operation, I rushed to the scene at the same time as Bai Gu. It's a pity that we're all one step late. ”

Bai Gu took over the words and leaned over to pour wine for Han Qiushu: "As for me, I thought he was Xuan Junyang's accomplice." As for him, he thought I was Xuan Junyang's accomplice. We also had a fight for this. ”

"Hahaha, don't mention the things that don't make the difference. ”

Xingchen sat in the middle, silently sandwiching the meat.

"Then what are you doing this time?" Although the atmosphere was light, Mu Yi could still feel that the two of them were engaging in meaningless politeness. When serious things are spoken, the sudden disappearance of this atmosphere makes people even more uncomfortable.

"Hehe," Han Qishu smiled very earnestly, "Mr. Mu Yi is really straightforward, worthy of a sniper style." ”

As he spoke, he drank all the wine in the quilt and spoke: "Actually, I came this time to discuss more important things with you...... To tell you the truth, I am an observer of the world – it is my profession to observe and record the events of this world. Before, I was in a state of silent attention to you. ”

Yishuang stood aside, observing the dead lotus in the water.

"Of course, I'm no more powerful than all of you. Observing the changes in the world is only my job, and it does not mean that I have the ability to influence the movements of the world. For example, this time the incident of White Crowe, without your help, I could not solve it at all. ”

At this time, Yishuang suddenly interjected and interrupted Han Qiushu's words: "The young master's behavior has actually exceeded his authority. As an 'observer' of the world, you are not allowed to come into contact with the people in this world, let alone participate in it. The last time he rescued everyone from White Crowe's hands, he actually exceeded his authority," he said, and glanced at Han Qiushu, "And the young master is also the only one among the many 'observers' who always oversteps his authority!"

Han Qiushu smiled helplessly: "This is not only my professional area, but also my hometown. So I always like to try to protect it. ”

"What? is there a greater threat besides White Crowe?" said this, and the star, who had been silent, spoke.

"You're really embarrassed to say," Han Qiushu looked at Xingchen, "Your level of threat in my work account book is higher than that of White Crowe." Fortunately, you are more human than him, so I have always regarded you as a friend. ”

Xingchen raised an eyebrow.

Han Qiushu looked around at the three of them: "This time the White Crowe incident not only successfully sealed the half of that extraterrestrial god, but also led to the awakening of another, more terrifying existence. ”

Mu Yi pursed his lips: "What do you mean?"

"Don't you realize the one who drove White Crowe to his death?" said Han Qiushu, drawing a figure with flickering light particles, "That person's power, if not effectively controlled, will become a threat beyond all levels encountered so far. ”

Seeing Han Qiushu's serious expression, Mu Yi, who was careless at first, no longer slumped there crookedly, but straightened his sitting posture.

"Is his threat really that big?" Xingchen raised his eyes to look at Han Qiushu, "I think if you want to talk about human nature, he is more sound than me." At least he once had a full family. ”

Han Qiushu shook his head: "This is different. Although your power is also at an over-standard level, if that person's power is fully awakened, it will directly become a being beyond the gods. In the face of that kind of power, even if it is White," he said, he pointed at Bai Gu again, "plus Bai Gu's power - even if that evil god returns, facing that power will only end up in ashes." ”

"If that's really the case," Bai Gu looked down at the crimson charcoal that burned in the stove, "I'm afraid we really need to do it in advance." ”

"Wait-one-next——!"

Suddenly, Mu Yi raised his hand to interrupt their discussion.

"Wait a minute, wait a minute!" As he spoke, Mu Yi stood up and looked at the three of them who were discussing with a little dissatisfaction, "Although my ability is very useless, I myself have no right to speak. But I still have a deep understanding of Gu Lichuan's character! I don't think he will ever be in the kind of situation you said!"

Hearing his words, Bai Gu and Xingchen also nodded. Mu Yi was right, although Gu Lichuan had unlimited potential, but with his gentle character, they were sure that Gu Lichuan would not be eroded by that power, let alone become the culprit in destroying this world.

However, in the face of their unanimous confirmation, Han Qiushu suddenly showed a confused smile.

......

"Are you leaving tomorrow?"

"Hmm. ”

The black rider and the white blade stood on the balcony, and behind them was Leng Yun's bar, having experienced a battle of life and death, and at this moment everyone in the six mangs and sanctions were relaxing themselves.

"It's rare to go back to the base for the first time, and there are many things that my sir may want to ask you about, and so do I. The black rider looked at the white blade standing beside him, although he was over seventy years old, his body was erect, his eyes were like torches, and he was afraid that he would be able to live for another seventy years.

Bai Jian stretched out his hand and patted the shoulder of the black rider: "When I was young, I followed Ye Xian's father to run around and overcome obstacles, and later witnessed the two brothers killing each other, Ye Shen supported the company alone, and later Yinglan was born and Katagiri died......

The Black Rider listened silently, as if he had a premonition of this moment.

"I've already discussed it with Ye Xian," Bai Jian lowered his head and untied the long knife tied to his waist, "In the future, you will be the sharpest corner of the six mangs." ”

The Black Rider took the knife from the White Blade with both hands. The pure white scabbard is carved with golden pine patterns, which is simple and restrained.

"I don't know how to use a knife...... "The Black Rider smiled at the White Blade.

"I know, I didn't plan to use it for you," Bai Dao said, rolling up his sleeves, "You give the knife to Ah Ying, and she will know how to use it well." ”

The Black Rider nodded, and hurriedly asked the White Blade, "Once you go, who can fill your vacancy." There are no six mangs, never less. ”

In the hearts of all Wuming people, the white blade is not only one of the founders of the previous generation, but also represents the top level of the six mang's combat power, which can be described as the pinnacle of "skill".

Faced with the black knight's question, White Blade narrowed his eyes and lowered his head in thought.

"Ling Han can't do it," seeing the white blade groaning, the black knight took the lead in coming up with an unavailable option, "Not to mention that he is still young, the sanction mercenary group can't leave him." ”

"Well," Whiteblade nodded, "you're right. But I have better candidates. ”

The Black Rider looked back into the room.

"Is he okay?, although it is true that the rest of the people in the Six Mangs are not quite normal, but I doubt that his impulsiveness will have an effect. ”

Bai Blade smiled: "The six mangs rarely act together. I think it's better for him to be free and alone, to be alone than to work in a team. ”

"And he's far more skilled in 'craft' than I am – I'm not half as good as he is at his age. His future is limitless. ”

"Hmm......" the black rider lifted his hat, "since you have said so, it must have been approved by the gentleman." Come to think of it, he has never let us down. ”

As he spoke, Zhou Muqing's voice came from the room: "Mr. White Blade, Black Rider, What are you doing? Come in! Li Youshu is going to show us a jujube core broken wine bottle!"
