Chapter 280: Returning Home
The bright sunlight shines through the thin mist of the early morning and sprinkles on the square paved with blue stone bricks, making it warm and pleasant. The square is surrounded by bluestone railings carved with quaint patterns, bathed in the warm morning light, and the wide stone paved steps pull out shadows of different lengths.
Although it was just after dawn, the square, which covers an area of nearly three acres, was already crowded. In the morning glow of the morning sun, people gathered in front of a quaint hall in the square, staring at the red gate with bated breath.
A soft "squeak" suddenly broke the silence in the square, and a slightly thin boy dressed in miscellaneous clothes walked out of the gate. His tired face, slightly lowered, walked down the steps with solemn steps, and walked out of the crowd.
"Wait! Mu Yun, you haven't told us yet, have you passed the question of the sect elder this time and obtained the qualification to become an official disciple of the sect, how can you just run away? A man in red sitting on the ground in the square, with a large betting board in front of him, shouted nervously when he saw that the boy wanted to leave.
"That's it! Didn't everyone get up from the bed so early just to know the result? How can you just say go? A man in a blue shirt flicked the snow-white ticket stub in his hand and said sarcastically.
"Hey!" A man with an extraordinary appearance and a fine light in his eyes slammed the ticket stub in his hand to the ground: "Don't guess, look at his appearance of waste wood, do you need to talk about the result?" ”
The man in red shouted in frustration, "Isn't it? Mu Yun, you've been practicing hard for so long, and you haven't broken through the first layer of condensation? I'm losing a lot of money in today's handicap, this is to cut meat from me! ”
"What's the noise?" A loyal-looking supervisor walked out of the vermilion gate, his stern gaze swept over the man in red, and said in a deep voice: "Although Mu Yun has not become an official disciple of the sect, he has passed the four assessment questions from Elder Li. Whether it is a literary test or a martial arts competition, they are much stronger than many of you present! Who are you qualified to point fingers here? Why don't you disperse for me? ”
"Cut! A layer of condensation, no matter how against the sky, isn't it still a garbage? An abrupt, high-pitched voice wafted over the square. The director's sharp eyes patrolled through the crowd of black pressure, but he couldn't find out who said it, shook his head helplessly, turned around and walked towards the main hall, and said in a deep voice: "Next!" ”
The warm sunlight sprinkled on Mu Yun's thin body, but it couldn't warm his cold chest, and the countless mocking eyes around him pierced his heart like a sharp sword.
A touch of unwillingness flashed in his eyes, Mu Yun turned around and walked out of the square lonely, and walked towards the back mountain alone, his slightly thin back stiff and stiff, as if he was carrying too much heaviness.
The countless disciples gathered in the square looked at Mu Yun's back with mocking eyes, talking to each other, and let out a few sneers from time to time.
Just when everyone was pointing at Mu Yun's back, a pretty girl suddenly appeared in the square.
The girl was only thirteen or fourteen years old, wearing a white light gauze dress, exuding a light and agile atmosphere, which looked extremely elegant. Although the childishness on his face has not been taken off, he can vaguely see the face of the country and the city in the future.
The girl's beautiful eyes were as clear as water with a hint of coldness, and she seemed to be indifferent to the crowd that had suddenly quieted down and stared at her with burning eyes.
A pair of beautiful eyes with a hint of coldness crossed the crowd and caught the eye of a thin back figure who was slowly walking towards the back mountain. An inexplicable look flashed in her beautiful eyes, and she used her skills to catch up. After a while, he came to the young man who was walking with his head down.
Mu Yun was thinking back to the scene when he was troubled by Elder Li, when he suddenly smelled a cold fragrance like an orchid. When he turned around, he saw a beautiful and unparalleled face, and leaned towards his eyes.
The golden sunlight, like a light veil, gently draped over the girl's body. The snow-white and delicate skin faces the morning sun, exuding a charming glow.
The girl's face was calm and waveless, like a beautiful eye of a clear spring, quietly looking at Mu Yun's eyes. A faint smile flashed on his face, his red lips opened lightly, and his voice was cold with a hint of softness: "Brother Muyun, how are you doing lately?" ”
Mu Yun looked at the beautiful girl who was close at hand, but their identities and status were far away. A doting smile flashed on his face, and he said, "My father and I are fine, you don't have to worry about it." Wushuang, it has been almost a year since you were taken to the inner gate by Elder Qin. Are you doing well in the inner door? Did those brothers and sisters bully you? ”
Mu Wushuang's cold gaze swept over Mu Yun's body, looking at Mu Yun's washed and white, but clean and tidy miscellaneous clothes, the coldness in his eyes seemed to melt a little.
opened his mouth and said softly: "Brother Muyun, didn't you receive the monthly example that I asked someone to bring out from the inner door?" Why don't you go to the warehouse and buy a new dress to change into? I bought this dress when I was eleven years old, right? It's already old, it's time to get a new one. ”
Mu Yun looked down at the slightly old miscellaneous clothes on his body, looked up at Mu Wushuang's cold and bright eyes, and said with a gentle smile: "It's not good to work in new clothes, but these old clothes are comfortable to wear, don't worry about hanging and rubbing." ”
Mu Wushuang looked at the gentle smile on Mu Yun's face, and a little tangle in his heart also dissipated without a trace. A touching smile appeared on his cold face, and he said softly: "Brother Muyun likes it." ”
Turning his head to look at the disciples around him who were surprised, pointing at himself and Mu Yun. Mu Wushuang bit her small and round lips, lowered her head and followed behind Mu Yun, and slowly walked towards the mountain.
The slender white fingers, after being nervously wrenched in front of him for a while, said softly: "Brother Muyun, although you failed to become an official disciple of the sect this time. But I believe that you will definitely be able to rush to the third layer of condensation! So, you must not give up. ”
Mu Yun saw the girl looking at her nervously, and said with a smile: "Wushuang, you don't have to worry, I didn't give up so easily." A manly man, I can't afford to put it down, I won't take these gossips to heart. Don't worry, your brother Muyun is not so weak yet! ”
Mu Wushuang looked at Mu Yun's confident smile, and a faint crimson flashed on her fair face. After hesitating for a moment, seeing that there was no one around, he quickly took out a small bag embroidered with colorful mandarin ducks, secretly stuffed it into Mu Yun's hand, and said softly: "Brother Mu Yun, I ran out while I was free from practice, and now I have to go back quickly." There are a few spirit stones in the bag, you take them first, and I'll bring a few more to you when I go home for the New Year. (To be continued.) )
