。 "It's really my fault that I took the three of you as apprentices without permission. You have lost a lot of things since you were a child, which cannot be made up by the Northern Punishment, Yu Xiu has been burdened with the pressure of the heir of the head since he was a child, and he has already been smoothed out, and he only thinks about the big things in the world. And you, most of my attention was divided between Yu Xiu and Nan Yang, because Yu Xiu is the next head, and Nan Yang is the youngest girl in the division, but she ignored your thoughts and made you embark on such a crooked path. For Nanyang...... I owe her too much, Bei punished her for her flawed character, and also gave her a flawed life, Qinghuan's death, I can't help but take a responsibility. I understand that it's all my fault. ”

Rong Huai said: "Since you can see so thoroughly, can you see through yourself?" ”

Hong Shengyun looked at Rong Huai and was silent for a long time, and said, "I know, the Huangquan Gu was ordered by you, and I also know that after so many years, this Gu has not been solved." ”

Rong Huai raised his eyebrows and said, "Yes, that's right, after so many years, I just froze the mother Gu and told you to linger for a while, otherwise how could you see today's grand occasion with your own eyes?" But now that you have seen it, there is no need to keep your life, I have unsealed your mother Gu, and I will use the time you have left to watch how your northern punishment declines and disappears, and see how these apprentices you like the most are either dead or disabled one by one. ”

Yu Xiu said angrily: "You calculate us and I don't care, but you are so rebellious that you disobey the master? Rong Huai, I thought you were just a ghost for a while, you ......"

"Senior brother, do you think that this 'momentary ghost obsession' can fascinate me for so many decades?"

"I still can't figure it out, how did you become like this......" Yu Xiu's eyes revealed a little sadness.

Rong Huai interrupted him: "I have never changed, but my nature is like this, and I have not let you see it until today." Also, you have never paid attention to me, so how can you find out if I have changed or not. ”

“…… Brother. ”

Nan Yang's hoarse voice came, and Rong Huai and Yu Xiu both stopped talking and looked at her in unison.

Nan Yang raised her chin slightly, the corners of her eyes were red, her eyes were empty and lost, and her hands were still tightly grasping Qing Huan's already cold corpse.

"I believe in you, all the time...... I believe in you. She said slowly and calmly, "It's not what the master said, I never doubted you, even if there are many things and many strange things, I have never doubted you." ”

Rong Huai's gaze was out of focus for a moment, and on that snowy night, a sentence that Nan Yang said to him suddenly came to mind-

No, I believe you. You are my senior brother, shouldn't I believe you?

Also, Nan Yang has such a temperament that she never lies, she says that if she believes him, she will definitely believe him completely.

"I don't know how much you hate the North Punishment, how much you hate us, but I don't understand what kind of hatred can make you swallow your anger and stay with us for so many years. You and I drink tea together, play chess together, talk together, celebrate the New Year together, all the things in the past, are you pretending? Do you really, without even a little bit of true affection? ”

"Together...... Spring festival? Rong Huai repeated unconsciously.

"I really believed in you before," Nan Yang lowered his head again, his gaze behind his long eyelashes wandering on Qinghuan's pale face, over and over again, "...... I really believed in you before. ”
