"Oh, I can't imagine that Xiao Yue has met new companions along the way, and there is more than one?" Ying Tianxu seemed a little surprised.

Ning Yue smiled helplessly: "Senior brother, what do you mean, I think that I still hate contact with people just like I used to in the sect?" By the way, how do you know that it must be a new companion on the road, not an old friend?"

Ying Tianxu patted him on the shoulder and said, "If you guess correctly, you should have come out of the northern border of the Snow Dragon Empire, and if you really want old friends to be able to follow together, most of them are among the teammates in the new competition." I don't know them well, but at least they can match their names with each person, and you should know that. If one of them is one, you don't say it's a companion, you just say it's name. So I decided that it must be a new friend, not an old acquaintance I knew. ”

"I didn't expect to be seen by the senior brother here. Yes, it was the new acquaintance I had on the way out, and it was divided into two ways, and two of them chose to cross the cave like me. Now, they should still be waiting over there, along with many other sects, waiting for the reply from the pathfinder. ”

Speaking of this, Ning Yue's voice was a lot lower.

"It's not difficult for me to re-wear that cave alone, but if I want to take someone through it again, I will definitely be besieged by demonic beasts, and it is definitely not the best policy......

"But if you don't go there, it's not a good idea to turn around and take a detour here. ”

Ying Tianxu muttered, and suddenly his eyes subconsciously met Ning Yue's eyes, and saw a trace of familiar cunning in the other party's eyes, and immediately smiled, and asked: "When I see you like this, I know what kind of ghost idea I have in mind, tell me about it." ”

"Actually, there is another way to choose, safe and fast. And that road, I also discovered it not long ago. ”

After that, Ning Yue looked up at the sky, and directly said the answer in the confusion of Su Qian and Ying Tianxu.

"Since Senior Brother broke into the camp of the Heavenly Sect and rescued me, he must have also discovered the existence of demonic beasts among them, right? ”

"What does Xiao Yue mean, snatched it and used it?" Ying Tianxu understood, but quickly shook his head again, and said: "It's just, how can it be so simple? It's not difficult to rob it, but it's not easy to domesticate the demonic beast, how can the giant bird of the Heavenly Sect listen to our orders." After succeeding, the giant bird does not listen to orders, and it can be dangerous in the air. ”

Ning Yue laughed jokingly: "Then, let someone who can make the giant bird listen to the order to take us for a ride." In the camp, I have a cursory glance that there should be five giant birds, and in the entire Yitian Sect, the only one who can match the strength of the senior brother is that elder. Wouldn't it be nice to even hold people and birds hostage? In my guess, the alliance between the Famous Yang Sword Sect and the Yitian Sect will inevitably use the giant birds they brought to bring the disciples on the other side of the mountain over. So, when it's completely dawn, it's a good time to get started. ”

"It sounds like a lot of risk, but it's worth the try. ”

Ying Tianxu nodded, pressed his hands on Ning Yue's shoulders, and said, "Okay, I'll do it next, Xiao Yue just need to tell me how many of your companions there are, just look like them, and I'll bring them over." ”

"Senior brother, what are you kidding, going alone?" Ning Yue was stunned, in his cognition, Ying Tianxu acted steadily, but it was not like he would say such a thing.

"One person is enough, and the small goal is better. Besides, with the way you are now, how can you fight again? Just stay and rest. I'll have good news at sunset at the latest. ”

"That's fine, but you can bring this senior brother. ”

Gritting his teeth and nodding, Ning Yue took off the ring of the ten-star crossbow arrow and threw it out with a shake of his hand.

"If you really get started, a spirit weapon with long-range shooting ability will definitely be of great help. And if you have this, those two of my companions will believe you. As for their names and appearances, they are ......"

After everything was ready, Ying Tianxu went on the road alone. If it weren't for the refractive cloak and condensing light blade ring, which could only be used by someone with demon blood, Ning Yue would definitely let the other party bring them with him, so he would be prepared.

"Senior brother, I owe you more again. ”

With a long sigh, he leaned against the side of a rock. The wounds on his body were still aching, and his limbs were weak, if it weren't for this, he wouldn't let Ying Tianxu go to deal with Yi Tianzong alone.

"I think the relationship between the two of you is really good, not to say that you are brothers, even if you are brothers, I believe it. ”

On the side, Su Qian set up a simple stove and was preparing breakfast, acting skillfully and dexterously.

"Senior brother, since that time, he really treats me as his own brother and treats me very well...... But I don't want him to stay like this. ”

Suddenly, Ning Yue clenched his fists tightly and scratched several scratches on the dirt ground beneath him.

Su Qian was puzzled for a while: "After that time, what do you mean?"

Smiled helplessly, Ning Yue shook his head and said, "That's it, since Senior Brother hasn't told you, I can't reveal it." ”

"Okay. ”

Unexpectedly, Su Qian didn't ask more questions, and continued to prepare breakfast. Soon, a bowl of steaming white porridge was held in front of Ning Yue, with a hint of medicinal fragrance, which seemed to be different from the herbs used to purify drinking water, and should be added to heal injuries and recuperate.

"The medicinal food made by Miss Su Qian, I haven't tasted it for a long time, and I miss it a lot. If Zhili is also there, she will definitely be very happy. ”

Taking the bowl, Ning Yue smiled teasingly, looking at Su Qian's dusty appearance, his heart suddenly moved inexplicably.

"By the way, since you left Xingsen City, Senior Brother and you have been walking together?"

"Hmm. I didn't think it would take so long, and I caused him a lot of trouble along the way. And this time I went to Qingque Mountain, and he also offered to let me give it a try, and said that you should appear, so I came with him. Actually, I was thinking that even if you weren't there, he wouldn't let me stay alone in this kind of place. ”

Su Qian nodded, and continued to hold the porridge, her share was only a small bowl, less than one-third of Ning Yue's.

Ning Yue sighed: "Senior brother is just like that, a good person, very gentle to everyone, and a companion who deserves to be reassured." But he never showed mercy to his enemies and was full of murderous intent. In fact, he has never suffered less than I have. More than that, the most heartbreaking experience for him ......"

"Hmm, could it be that you mean, his secret?" Su Qian reacted, her voice full of doubt.

"Yes. I don't think he would have blamed me if he had told you. ”

Nodding, Ning Yue looked at the blurred shadow of himself reflected on the surface of the white porridge, and said in a low voice: "Once, senior brother had a younger brother, but when he was twelve years old, that is, when I was seven years old, his own brother ran away alone, and we didn't care about it, and we were bitten to death by the wolf beast that came out of the jungle...... Since then, the senior brother has been silent and silent a lot, and even ...... The regret and remorse that he couldn't save his brother at the beginning were transferred to me, and he always tried to protect me in every possible way. Over time, even if I knew that he had good intentions, I was a little resistant in my heart. I am myself, not a substitute for someone else to vent their emotions. ”

"There is still such a past?"

Su Qian was taken aback and recalled: "No wonder on the way, your senior brother always mentions you to me from time to time, worried that you will get into trouble again and not be able to take care of yourself." Although this is true, the reason is that it will be so. ”

"What do you mean?"

Ning Yue suddenly slid down three black lines on his forehead, but he couldn't veto it. He understood that in the eyes of outsiders, the things he did were indeed a gamble and a risk. More than one person has mentioned similar things to him. It's just that if he chooses again, he'll do it again.

"Su Qian, you are a descendant of a family of medicinal herbs, although the senior brother is guilty of heart disease, but the use of pharmacology should also be able to adjust it to a certain extent, right?

Staring at Ning Yue, Su Qian said angrily: "Do you treat me as a Langzhong, or do you regard me as an alchemist?" I understand that it is just some mild and nourishing medicinal food, if you say that you are going to the clinic and prescribing medicine, you only know a little bit about it." ”

Ning Yue responded: "Yes, what I want is mild nourishment." Senior brother's illness cannot be cured by fierce medicine. ”

Su Qian shook her head and said, "This...... Besides, I'm not sure. By the way, the porridge is almost drunk, and if it is cold, it will not be good. Why don't you give me the bowl and I'll pour it back into the pot and heat it up. ”

"Don't bother, it's okay to drink. ”

Hurriedly raised his head and swallowed the medicinal porridge, Ning Yue's afterglow was still looking at Su Qian, who had lowered his head on the side, and was muttering secretly in his heart.

Are you thinking too much? In addition to being stronger than those who have faded a lot, Su Qian has a bit of the demeanor of a good wife and mother, but she just uses her gentleness to make Ying Tianxu ...... Forget it, you can't force it.

Time flies, and after eating the medicinal porridge, Ning Yue leaned on the rock and fell asleep with a warm feeling in his abdomen. When I woke up, I was awakened by Su Qian, and as far as I could see, the sky and the earth were still dim, and the light was dim. In the distance, the edge of the mountain peak, a layer of crimson glows.

It's no longer dawn, it's dusk.

"Wake up, they're back. ”

With Su Qian's words, Ning Yue's sleepiness was swept away, he stood up, turned his head to look away, and saw three figures in the mountains and forests not far away, walking quickly, and on Ying Tianxu's side were Lei Jiang and Meng Ye.

"We met again, I didn't expect you to have such a powerful senior brother. ”

Punched Ning Yue in the shoulder, and Lei Jiang smiled heartily. But looking at his appearance, there is something wrong, it seems that in the past time, he has moved with people again.

On his side, Meng Ye looked at Ning Yue's outfit at this time, lowered his head and muttered, "Lord Ning Yue, you were injured again, that's why you went to pick us up, right?"

"Ning Yue...... My lord?"

Hearing this, Su Qian looked at Ning Yue strangely, as if asking what was going on.

Ning Yue simply shook his hand and didn't answer, then leaned over to Meng Ye and asked with a smile: "Let's talk about it, what happened to you after I left? Looking at Lei Jiang's appearance, I'm afraid it wasn't the hand that he fought with people when he came over." ”

Suddenly, Meng Ye was startled, grinning and speechless.

Seeing this, Lei Jiang hurriedly relieved the siege and said, "It's that after you left, those people from the Heavenly Sect spoke a little ugly, and I couldn't help but make a move with them. Fortunately, it should be their elite used to explore the way into the cave, and there is nothing left for me. Isn't that right, Meng Ye?"

Secretly, he winked.

Meng Ye nodded again and again and said, "Well, that's right, that's it." ”

"Really?" Ning Yue felt that there were some clues, but seeing that the two had reached a consensus, it was not good to continue to ask. To say that Meng Ye and Lei Jiang have actually been all the way for a long time, he will not believe it anyway.

"Alright, let's all rest, I'll go get ready for dinner. Everyone is tired today, and tomorrow morning, it's not too late to hurry. Su Qian came out of the circle, and while looking at it, she couldn't help but stay on Meng Ye more.

"What's wrong?"

Meng Ye was stunned for a moment, and was a little surprised, he didn't expect that there would be a woman in the old acquaintance that converged with Ning Yue.

"Nothing. ”

Su Qian smiled, and after turning around, a faint doubt flashed in her eyes.

I guess I was right?
