Since discovering the streamer firefly, with the next clue direction, the day they will leave Xiangcheng is just around the corner.

Wen Ning was the person in the city who had the most contact with Xiao Luo and Xue Yuan, and was the first to notice that the two had gone wrong.

But Wen Ning didn't say anything, only silently prepared the gifts as best he could, and secretly reduced the number of times he came to disturb.

The day of separation comes quickly.

Wen Ning was in the small courtyard and enjoyed the most sumptuous banquet since he met Xiao Luo and Xue Yuan.

I still remember the first time I had dinner with Xiao Luo and Xue Yun in the small courtyard, but I didn't expect that the person who cooked was actually Xiao Luo's Wen Ning, and I couldn't stop admiring Xue Luo's craftsmanship, which made Xue Yun laugh at Xiao Luo again......

Although Wen Ning is still a young man, he has always regarded himself as a serious man, and when he came to the small courtyard today to help Xiao Luo bring out the food and set it up, he thought that on this special day of farewell, there would be wine to drink.

"Brother Xiao. Wen Ning looked at Xiao Luo's teapot on the table: "We...... Don't you drink?"

"Ahem. Xiao Luo coughed lightly, raised his hand and knocked on Wen Ning's forehead: "How old are you?

Xue Yun looked at Wen Ning, who was a little dazed and a little unconvinced, and glanced at the back of Xiao Luo, who turned around and walked towards the kitchen, and couldn't help laughing, and pulled Wen Ning at the table to sit down: "You don't care about him, it's obviously because someone has a very poor amount of alcohol, and he pours almost one glass, and he usually doesn't dare to touch the wine at all." ”

"Huh?" Wen Ning really didn't expect that Xiao Luo, who he thought was erudite and versatile and heroic, would be able to pour a thousand cups without getting drunk, and at this time, when he looked at the teapot on the table, he couldn't help but laugh with Xue Yuan, diluting some of the sorrows that were about to be separated.

At a meal, the guests and hosts enjoyed themselves, and no one mentioned the upcoming separation at this time.

It's just that when the food ran out and the tea was getting cold, Wen Ning pursed his lips and took out the wooden box he had prepared earlier and put it on the table: "Brother Xiao, Sister Xue, Wen Ning knows that you are leaving, I ...... I don't have any good things, I only got a little bit of Xiangcheng specialty gadgets, which are not worth anything, so I ...... Just leave a souvenir, I hope that in the future, Brother Xiao and Sister Xue can remember Wen Ning. ”

Because of the great secret on his back, Wen Ning was precocious and cautious, and he had no friends in Xiangcheng, but he lost the circle of friends who were easy to integrate into some time ago, and became alone again. Xiao Luo and Xue Yuan, the two who suddenly appeared in Xiangcheng, although they had a purpose, quickly became the people who could evacuate his emotions and speak freely. It's just that for Wen Ning, such a good life of being accompanied by someone to guide and take care of him didn't last long, and he was going to be left behind again.

Xue Yun reached out and patted Wen Ning's shoulder, opened his mouth but didn't know how to talk about it.

It was Wen Ning, with a warm and bright smile on her face: "My grandfather told me before, Brother Xiao and Sister Xue are people who have something to do and will not stay in Xiangcheng for a long time, I have always known it." ”

"Wen Ning ......"

"Sister Xue don't have to worry about me, before you and Brother Xiao came, I also lived in Xiangcheng for several years, so I didn't feel uncomfortable. Despite the smile on his face, there was still unconcealed reluctance and loneliness in his eyes: "That's it...... It is...... I hope Brother Xiao and Sister Xue can remember Wen Ning and wait...... When your business is done, if it is convenient, you can come to Xiangcheng occasionally to see me......"

"That's nature. Xiao Luo smiled and threw over a booklet that looked quite new, and when he saw Wen Ning taking it in a daze, he explained with a smile: "Although my cultivation is nothing, I have seen a lot of things I have seen over the years, and I have memorized some experiences in the booklet, maybe you can use it, even if it is a return gift from the two of us." ”

Wen Ning's eyes lit up, he had been very convinced of Xiao Luo after getting along these days, and immediately nodded fiercely: "Thank you, Brother Xiao......! I'm going to practice hard!...... When I build a foundation, I will also go out to practice like Brother Xiao and Sister Xue, and see different things! If so, if you don't dislike it, I'll ...... Can I come to you then? Wait...... When I can help?"

Xue Yun and Xiao Luo glanced at each other, and looked at Wen Ning, who was looking at him expectantly: "Wen Ning, it's naturally good to go out for a walk and take a look after you have cultivated to a higher level and have the power to protect yourself, but ...... You don't have to be obsessed with us, it's more fun to be with your own like-minded friends. ”

Wen Ning lowered his eyes: "...... I might ...... I won't find a friend like this anymore. ”

wants to meet friends who also know the truth, or at least can understand his "different attitudes", Wen Ning knows in his heart how difficult it is.

And the other ...... Just like those friends who fell out some time ago, no matter how pleasant they got along before, as long as he refuses to compromise against his will, as long as he can't take the risk to tell the truth, it will always not last long.

Of course, he also knew in his heart that even if he told the truth, would anyone believe him instead of Yuan Che Zhenjun, who had passed on his reputation for a hundred years?

"Wen Ning ......"

Wen Ning took a deep breath and laughed again: "It's okay, Sister Xue." My grandfather told me, "Friends, you pay attention to fate, and sometimes you pay attention to luck, I don't think too much." When you and Brother Xiao leave Xiangcheng, I just happened to rest and stay at home to practice hard. ”

Xue Yun sighed in his heart, thought about it, and couldn't help but ask: "Wen Ning, ...... you Blame those for leaving your little buddies?"

Wen Ning was stunned for a moment when he heard Xue Yun ask, and then shook his head, with a smile on his face, and there was no trace of gloom and resentment: "No, they ...... They didn't actually do anything wrong. It's like I know that Yuan Che is not a good person so I insist on not bowing to him, feeling that I have done nothing wrong, in their hearts, Yuan Che is a true monarch who has benefited many people and is worthy of admiration, and it is not wrong for them to defend him and revere him. We're all doing what we think is right in our hearts, it's just ...... It's just that because of the difference in the number of things we know, the right and wrong in our eyes are different. In fact...... Actually, I should feel a little ashamed. I know the truth, I think what I insist on is right, but I can't tell them, I watch them do what I see as wrong, but I don't stop it. Speaking of which, I can't be called a 'friend', right......? Where can I blame them?"

After getting along these days, Xue Yuan knew that Wen Ning had a good temperament, but he couldn't help but be stunned when he heard him say this. This young man's heart is even purer than she thought.

Wen Ning said yes. Xiao Luo smiled and looked at Wen Ning, who was a little low, and said: "You are not wrong, those friends of yours, as well as many people on the Kyushu Continent, are not wrong, what is wrong in this matter is the real culprit who deceives the world for evil." ”

"Not bad. Xue Yun also nodded, thinking of Na Yuan Che, thinking of the Feng family, thinking of the Shangguan family, he couldn't help but clench his palms, his eyes were far away and fell on the edge of the sky, word by word: "One day, their evil deeds will be known to Kyushu and spurned by the world, and one day they will ...... People like you, and many more who have been hurt by this lie, can no longer be suppressed, no longer have to hide...... Someday. ”

Wen Ning looked at Xue Yuan, who was straightened in front of the stone table under the bright sky, as if she could see the scene she said from the bottom of her eyes.

“...... Hmmm!"

......

After Wen Ning left the small courtyard with reluctance to leave and expectations for the future, Xiao Luo and Xue Yuan sat back at the table, carefully looked at and carefully put away the gifts left by Wen Ning, glanced at each other, and couldn't help laughing.

"Wen Ning is really what I've seen...... The gentlest and most forgiving child. Xue Yun sighed: "Deserve it, a pure heart." ”

Hearing those four words, Xiao Luo was in a trance, the pendant he had been wearing since he was a child between his neck seemed to be slightly hot, his eyes gradually drifted away, and he couldn't help but murmur in a low voice: "...... Child's Heart......"

Xue Yun noticed his abnormality, and stretched out his hand and gently tugged at his cuffs: "Xiao Luo, what's wrong?"

Xiao Luo came back to his senses and smiled at Xue Yun soothingly: "I suddenly remembered that I seemed to have heard it before...... A paragraph, it's just that I can't remember when and where, and who I listened to. ”

"Oh, what?"

"Pure heart. Xiao Luo hooked the corners of his mouth: "It seems to be ...... Who has heard that the so-called pure heart should be after going through hardships, going through thorns, and seeing the darkness of the world, but still be able to face the future with a pure and warm heart, and be calm about everything. ”

After hearing this, Xue Yun was silent for a long time, and nodded slowly: "...... That's a good point. ”

“...... Well. ”

"I really want to...... Get to know the senior who said this. ”

Xiao Luo was slightly stunned: "Senior?"

"Isn't it?" Xue Yun looked over: "I think that those who can say such transparent and wise words must have had many experiences and seen many worlds...... Predecessor. ”

Xiao Luo smiled, thought about it carefully, and gave up: "It's a pity, I can't remember who said it." ”

Xue Yun shrugged his shoulders: "It's okay, as Wen Ning said just now, it depends on fate......! We'll have a chance to see you in the future. ”

Xiao Luo nodded: "That's right." ”

"Wen Ning......" Xue Yun thought of the young man who left just now, and smiled: "At such an age, it is really rare to have such a heart and thoughts." I'm ashamed to say that when I was as old as him...... "I was still a carefree and innocent young lady under the protection and pampering of my father Xue Yu."

Xiao Luo glanced at Wen Ning, saw her frown slightly, blinked and said, "Don't say anything else, when you are as old as him, there is one thing that you can definitely win against him." ”

"Huh?

"Hmm......" Xiao Luo's gaze swept around the almost empty dishes on the stone table, and finally fell on Xue Yuan's face, and after saying that sentence, he got up very neatly and ran: "You can eat more than him back then, it's okay for one person to eat one table!"

Soon, Xue Yuan's angry voice sounded in the small courtyard:

"Xiao! Luo! Stop!"
