The ancient city of Panlong, across the river.

The tall temple-like building, with its mountains and mountains, stretches for hundreds of miles, and at a glance, you can't see the edge. However, just looking at it from a distance, it makes people feel solemn and solemn, and no one dares to approach.

In the distance, in the mist-shrouded place, there seemed to be a taller and more solemn temple-like structure hanging in the air, as if it was floating in mid-air, so ethereal and unreachable.

Yunxi and his party stood by the river, waiting for the boats to cross the river, and after crossing this moat, they arrived at the boundary of the ancient city of Panlong.

"Qianjue, what is that distant building? Why does it look like a fairyland?

Long Qianjue looked at it with a deep gaze: "That's Xiaoyao Pavilion, it's the place where the masters of the Long Family's inner sect live. Don't look at it, it seems to be close to Panlong City, but in fact, it is far away. It is said that it is rich in spiritual energy and has a beautiful environment, which is an excellent place for martial arts practitioners to practice. ”

"Neizong?" Yunxi was surprised.

Long Qianjue said: "Yes! In the Long family, there is a distinction between the inner sect and the outer sect, and usually the people of the outer sect handle the affairs between the Long family and the outside world, while the people of the inner sect ignore the affairs of the world and concentrate on cultivation, in order to reach the highest realm and comprehend the way of heaven. On weekdays, no one from the outer sect, except for the head of the family, can step into the Xiaoyao Pavilion. I've also heard some elders talk about the Pavilion, but I've never actually been there. ”

"It's so mysterious, if you have a chance, I want to see what kind of immortal realm it is. Yunxi smiled lightly, quite yearning.

Long Qianjue looked at her with a smile, his fingertips lightly picking at her hair that was blown by the river breeze, and said, "If you want to go, then go!" Even if you violate the rules of Xiaoyao Pavilion, it's nothing, the most important thing is ...... Mrs. Noh Bo smiled. ”

Yunxi pursed her lips and glared at him with flattering eyes.

Long Qianjue smiled, gently shook her soft little hand, and continued: "However, there will be a family competition every thirty years in the outer sect, and the top three outstanding disciples will have the opportunity to go to the inner sect to receive training from the masters of the inner sect, and often these three outstanding disciples are very likely to be the heirs of the next family head in the future. ”

"Young Master, according to the day, this year's family competition should be three days later. If the Absolute Young Master can participate in the family competition, the top three will definitely be at his fingertips, once the Absolute Young Master becomes the heir of the next head of the Long family, then ......" Long Qifeng was halfway through speaking, and found that Long Qianjue's face gradually turned cold, and he quickly stopped, not daring to continue.

Yunxi glanced at him and said coldly: "As the head of the Long family, how can you young masters put it in your eyes? If you are disappointed because of this, then leave as soon as possible, we don't need to be in the company of half-minded people!"

"The subordinates don't dare! Since the subordinates have decided to follow the young master, they will definitely not have any more dissenting hearts, please Madame must believe us!" Long Qifeng bowed his head and said tremblingly.

"Well, as long as you follow faithfully in the future, we will sincerely protect each other. ”

Yunxi's light words made Long Qifeng stunned for a long time, and he really protected each other? This is the first time he has heard such words from a master's mouth, yes, these days of getting along, he also really felt the master's sincere protection for them, but whenever there is danger, whether it is the young master or the lady, they will not let them rush to danger, they will always be in the front of the charge. It is his great luck to follow such a master!

He clenched his fists at Yunxi, but he didn't say anything anymore, and after a long time, he didn't need more words.

At this time, the Cloud Protector shouted from a distance, "Venerable Lord, we have found the ship, and we can board the ship." ”

"Let's go!" Long Qianjue took Yunxi's hand and led everyone to the place where the boat was parked.

It was a small ship, with two floors, enough to accommodate fifty people. For Yunxi and others who don't often see ships, it's not small, but for the guards from wealthy families like the Long family, it's just a medium color.

A group of people was about to get on the boat, and a group of about ten people, dressed in brocade clothes, stopped them out of nowhere.

"Wait a minute! This ship, our son-in-law has chartered it!" said a domestic slave next to the young man in brocade, he was arrogant and invincible, and he didn't take Yunxi and his group seriously at all.

Long Qianjuejun's eyebrows sank, and he threw a glance in the direction of the Cloud Protector, the Cloud Protector understood, and stepped forward and said: "This ship, we have already chartered it, if you want to charter a boat, go a hundred steps forward, and you can see the place where the boat is rented." My master, I am going to board the ship now, and I ask you to leave quickly!"

The Cloud Protector decided to follow them, salute first and then soldier, if it was in the Ling Tian Palace in the past, if he encountered this kind of person who was not long-sighted, he would not say a word, and then he would leave it in the river first.

The other party saw that his attitude was so polite, but he became arrogant: "Do you know who my son-in-law is? He is the third young master of the richest man in the northwest, the enemy family is rich and rivals the country, can you afford to offend?"

Qiu Muchong shook the folding fan in a dashing manner, pretending to be angry and scolded the house slave: "Dead slave! Have you forgotten the instructions of this son again? When you go out, don't reveal your son's family background to others at will." ”

"Yes! The villain should be damned! The villain must remember in the future!" replied the house slave with a hippie smile.

"Vomit!" Baili Shuang heard this, and unceremoniously gave them a vomit, which is too fake, what kind of person? It's just the third young master of an enemy family, and he is lame like this?

Qiu Muchong's face sank, his eyebrows glared at Baili Shuang, and he pointed at her with a folding fan and said, "You are bold! You dare to be rude to my son? You report my name quickly, and I will remember you!"

Baili Shuang smiled, put his hands behind his back, and paced to him: "Who are you asking me? I'm afraid that if I say it, it will scare you!"

"Joke! Ben Gongzi is well-informed and knowledgeable, how can he be scared by a mere woman from you? You'd better register my name, otherwise don't blame Ben Gongzi for being unkind to you!" Qiu Muchong snorted.

Baili's eyes rolled, and he beckoned to Zhao Xiaoyou and Zhao Xiaomin: "You come to sue him, who am I." ”

The two sisters grinned and said in unison, "You can listen well! She is the youngest daughter of the City Lord of Tianlong City, and she is also the granddaughter of the dean of Tianlong Academy.

Qiu Muchong was still full of awe-inspiring expression, but now when he heard that the other party was the youngest daughter of the City Lord of Tianlong City, the granddaughter of the dean of the Heavenly Dragon Academy, his legs suddenly weakened.

"Original...... It turned out to be Miss Baili!Disrespectful and disrespectful!" Qiu Muchong smiled at her very spinelessly, "Since Miss Baili is also going to Panlong City, then I won't bother in the next place, and I will say goodbye first." ”

As he spoke, he was about to lead him away from the people, when a voice came from behind him, calling out to them.

"Wait a minute!"

Qiu Muchong turned around, with a dejected face that was quite passable, looked at Long Qianjue pitifully, and said that they still remembered the grudge and refused to let him leave.

When he was about to beg for mercy, Long Qianjue asked, "You are the third young master of the enemy family, what are you doing in Panlong City?"

Qiu Muchong breathed a sigh of relief and replied truthfully: "That's the case! I was invited to give the dowry, my Qiu family and the Long family just talked about a marriage not long ago, I came to the door to give the dowry in person, by the way, I came to see my future bride, I don't know if she is really as the Long family said, the wisdom and aura are compelling." ”

"Which one are you going to marry?" Long Qianjue looked at him up and down, how to see how unreliable he was, thinking to himself that I don't know which woman of the Long family was so unlucky that she wanted to marry such a gorgeous person.

Qiu Mu said: "The one who is going to marry next is the only daughter of the fourth master, Long Qianxun. ”

"What? is it Qianxun?" Long Qianjue erupted with anger from the bottom of his heart, stepped forward, grabbed Qiu Muchong's collar, and asked, "Say! This marriage, did Qianxun personally take care of it, or did someone force her?"

"This eldest brother, what do you mean by this? I, Qiu Muchong, am also the third young master of the Qiu family, will I still forcibly marry a woman who is unwilling to marry me?" Qiu Muchong was grabbed by the collar by the other party, and he couldn't break free, but he also rose up with a wave of anger, and retorted, "Tell you the truth! This marriage was decided by my father and the second master of the Long family, and the second master said that Miss Qianxun fell in love with me at first sight and was willing to commit herself to marrying, so I came here to give a dowry gift, otherwise why would I go all the way here to propose marriage? Handsome and chic, there are more women who like me, I ......"

Before he could finish his ramblings, Long Qianjue pushed him away, his face gloomy: "Second uncle, you really can't wait to eradicate dissidents, and you don't even let go of a woman!"

"Big brother, you're talking about Qianxun, but the daughter of the fourth uncle, Xiao Qianxun, who is one year younger than me?" asked Long Qianchen, suddenly having a little memory.

Long Qianjue clenched his fists: "That's right! Since the fourth uncle competed with others, he ended up half-paralyzed, he was unknown in the Long family, and he couldn't threaten the second uncle at all, and he couldn't imagine that the second uncle wouldn't even let him go, and it was unbearable to attack his daughter!"

Long Qifeng stepped forward and said, "Young Master, as far as the villain knows, Miss Qianxun is amazingly talented, whether it is martial arts or alchemy, she is very outstanding among the generation of the Long family. Although she has been deliberately hiding her strength, she was still discovered by the second master, who has always regarded her as a thorn in her side and wants to get rid of her. But the head of the family seems to value Miss Qianxun very much, especially she is one of the few talents with alchemy talent among the juniors of the Long family, and the head of the family wants to focus on cultivating her, so that she can win glory for the Long family in alchemy, so the second master does not dare to move her openly. Regarding the marriage with the enemy's family, the subordinates occasionally heard the young master of the soul mention it, presumably this is a plan set up by the second master against Miss Qianxun, so that Miss Qianxun can leave the Long family and no longer be an obstacle to him. ”

When Long Qianjie heard this, he was silent, how could he never have thought that it was the conspiracy of the second uncle? It's just that he didn't expect that in order to achieve his goal, the second uncle would actually pay for Qianxun's lifelong happiness and marry Qiu Muchong, a gentleman who eats soft and is afraid of hard, and is strong on the outside.

"Xiao Qianxun is so cute, how can she marry this frustrating person?" Long Qianchen glared at Qiu Muchong, the more he looked at him, the more unpleasant he became, that look seemed to say, let a flower like Xiao Qianxun be inserted in a lump of cow dung like him, it is really ruined.

Qiu Muchong was panicked by all of them, but he was a little unconvinced, and said with a stiff neck: "Words...... The words were said by the second master of the Long family, and he said that Miss Qianxun fell in love with me at first sight, otherwise I wouldn't have been amorous and came here to be humiliated......"

Baili Shuang sneered coldly: "Just you? Your virtue, there are also people who will fall in love with you at first sight? I advise you to jump into the river to be sober and sober, and stop daydreaming!"

"I'm annoyed! Hurry up and make this person disappear!" Yunxi was a little impatient, and took the lead in stepping on the strings of the boat, she wanted to pick up Xiaomo as soon as possible, and then return to Wanhuang Academy together, and the family of four would be reunited. She hadn't seen Little Crescent in days, and she didn't know if she was doing now.

"Hear my master's words, don't you disappear quickly, or I'll throw you into the river to feed the fish!" Baili Shuang saw that the master was displeased, and hurriedly threatened Qiu Mu Chong.

"Okay, okay! We'll be gone in a moment. Although Qiu Muchong didn't know what the other people were from, he didn't dare to offend Baili Shuang alone, so he hurriedly led his servants and fled in a hurry.

Long Qianjue and his party no longer paid attention to him and got on the boat one after another.

Baili Shuang, Zhao Xiaoyou, Zhao Xiaomin, and Hua Chuchu are all taking a boat for the first time, and they are very excited.

Yunxi was different, she had the experience of seasickness once, so she was very afraid. As soon as she got on the boat, she obediently hid in the cabin, not daring to move. If it weren't for the fear of alarming the master of the Long family in advance, she would have flown to the other side on the divine dragon a long time ago, why should she suffer such a crime?

The ship moved slowly.

Yunxi waited for a long time, but he didn't see Long Qianjue enter the cabin, thinking of his anger, he couldn't help but worry. Getting up and leaving the cabin, this time on the boat, the reaction didn't seem to be as intense as the first time, and she didn't feel any discomfort.

From the stern to the bow of the boat, Yunxi finally saw Long Qianjue's figure.

He stood on the bow of the boat against the wind, the back of the whole person was slightly gloomy, he seemed to be carrying too much baggage, and his back looked so heavy.

She turned, returned to the cabin, retrieved an inky cloak, and returned to the bow.

She stepped forward, stood on tiptoe, and gently draped it over him, although it was only a thin cloak, which could not cover too much wind and rain, but there was only so much she could do.

Long Qianjue raised his hand, lightly held her soft water, raised his eyes to look at the river, and said leisurely: "Sixteen years ago, I carried Qianchen all the way to escape from the pursuit, and finally came to the riverside. As a last resort, I had to jump into the river with Qianchen and escape, and the river was particularly cold that night. I swam and swam until I was exhausted...... I thought that Qianchen and I were going to die in the river, and I was very depressed and grieved......"

He choked up, and his voice was slightly hoarse: "My father is hard-hearted, mishears people's words, and refuses to believe my mother's innocence; my mother is in a desperate situation, life and death are unknown, and Qianchen and I, who are recognized as wild seeds, are not descendants of the Long family, and drove my brothers and two out of the Long family...... The second uncle rushed to kill them all, and when my brothers were driven out of the Long family, he issued a killing order to my brothers. ”

"I am very unwilling in my heart, my mother's innocence has not been washed, my brothers' life history has not been rehabilitated, the enemy is still at large, I am not willing to die like this. He breathed a sigh of relief and took a deep breath, "It may be that God is pitiful, so that I can find a broken lonely boat in the river, and I am fortunate to row to the other side alive." When I arrived on the shore, Qianchen fell seriously ill, and I was penniless, and I begged the doctor everywhere to heal him, but no one would heal him......"

Yunxi raised her head and saw tears oozing from the corners of his eyes, crystal dotted, her heart hurt slightly, and she couldn't help but open her arms and hugged him tightly.

Long Qianjue raised his hand and touched her wrist, where she was wearing one of the blue bracelets, lining the whiteness of her wrist so clear that it could be broken by blowing.

"I even thought of selling these bracelets, which are treasures of my Long family, passed down from generation to generation, and are very important to my Long family. It was also my mother who had a premonition that she was going to encounter an accident, and when she parted from me, she handed it into my hands. This is the only relic left to me by my mother, and I am reluctant to sell it, but in order to save Qianchen's life, I have to sell it. ”

Yunxi looked down at the bracelet on his wrist, and only now did he know that this was once worn by his mother, and it was a relic left to him by his mother.

------Off topic------

There is a shift around 23 o'clock in the evening, the time is relatively rushed, and the first watch can only be so much, tears!
