However, just when Chaolu was lying on the bed and about to fall asleep, he intuitively felt that someone seemed to be staring at him all the time in the dark, so he got up and lit the lamp with a little trepidation, but he didn't expect that as soon as his hand stretched out, he touched a piece of cool clothing.

“…… It's me. ”

A familiar voice sounded in the darkness, and then the person who had been standing by the window since I didn't know when slowly walked out, it was the wind string.

In fact, Chaolu had long wanted to ask him about what happened at the martial arts conference that day, and his plan Yu Fengxian had always known, but what he was doing now was clearly contrary to the direction he said at the beginning, so he couldn't figure out why he supported himself as the leader of the alliance......

"Let's sit down first."

She didn't intend to dwell on the matter of letting her subordinates forcibly take her away that day, but calmly walked to the table and sat down, and said indifferently: "If you have anything to say, just say it directly." ”

Yu Fengxian did not sit down, but stood motionless, his already tall and straight figure was even more slender because of excessive weight loss in a short period of time, but he couldn't see his expression clearly against the light Chaolu, and only heard him say in a very soft voice: "I apologize to you for what happened that day." ”

Hearing this, Chaolu was immediately stunned, she originally wanted to avoid this topic, but she didn't expect the other party to say it straight to the point, but she didn't know how to respond, and after reacting, she could only pull the corners of her mouth and smile unnaturally, "No need to apologize, I understand your position." Thinking about it now, maybe she shouldn't have pulled Yu Feng Xian to investigate the incident of twenty years ago, she completely underestimated the family and sect pressure that Yu Feng Xian was burdening.

"...... later"

Yufeng Xian paused for a few seconds, and seemed to be thinking seriously about what he was going to say next, "I'm not going to interfere with what you're going to do anymore, and you...... You also have to promise to make a pact with me. ”

"What agreement?" Chaolu looked up in a daze, trying to find some answers from Yu Fengxian's eyes.

Before he could answer, a cold wind came through the crack in the window, extinguishing the candle that had just been lit by the morning dew.

In the darkness where I couldn't see my fingers, only the voice of Yu Fengxian without the slightest emotion drifted coldly in the air - "In order to be worthy of my current identity, I will not change my mind, but ...... In the meantime, you can do what you think is right, and as long as you are faster than me, then I am willing to gamble and lose. ”

"Good!"

Hearing these words, the big stone in Chaolu's heart finally fell to the ground, and now she didn't think that Yu Feng Xian would unite with herself, and this was already the best ending, so she stood up without saying a word and walked to Yu Feng Xian, and looked up slightly at the much haggard but handsome young man in front of her, "That's it, you are not allowed to regret it then!" ”

“……”

The only thing that answered her was the sound of her clothes shaking in the air, and when she lit the oil lamp again, she saw that the windowsill was already empty.

But I don't know why, obviously there is no better solution than this, but she still feels a little uncomfortable, first Chen Yao, and now Yu Feng Xian, they don't believe it anymore, is it...... Is it really impossible to succeed with the one you do?

Looking at the flickering candles on the oil lamp, she laughed a little self-deprecatingly.

……

Following.

After a night of careful consideration, she decided to set off for the Night's Palace, and from the clues she had obtained in the Shadow Pavilion and the content of the conversation she had overheard that day, it was the most necessary place to visit.

According to the information collected before, it seems that no one knows that the Cangye Palace was actually founded by Yu Xueyi, and the Hua Tianye she knows is considered to be the first master of the Cangye Palace, he was only thirteen or fourteen years old when he came to the Central Plains martial arts with a few disciples. Many people even think that the Cangye Palace started from the Central Plains.

But just a few years ago, Hua Tianye suddenly gave up the foundation of the Central Plains martial arts and returned to the desert outside the Guan, which is rarely visited by the people, and since then he has rarely appeared, only because he was invited by those people who knew him when he traveled in the Central Plains in the early years, and only occasionally came to the Central Plains - so, Chaolu also met such a character by coincidence.

In Chaolu's impression, although she and Hua Tianye have not met many times, they have a good impression of that person's gentle and elegant conversation, however, since Cangye Palace is a sect founded by Yu Xueyi after being incognito, what is the relationship between Hua Tianye and her? Master and apprentice? Or ...... Well, she didn't dare to think about it anymore.

In any case, all the mysteries can only be solved by going there to see the flowers!

Before leaving, she did not tell Xia Huaiyuan and her sister and brother about her specific itinerary, only said that she was going to meet a friend and would come back soon, and this matter had already involved enough, and she could no longer drag innocent people in.

Who knew that not long after leaving the city gate, I saw a familiar figure leaning on the side of the city wall, which was Jun Wuye! She's used to this guy's elusive skills......

"Hey, I didn't expect you to be so busy after only a few days as the leader of the alliance~" Jun Wuye walked over with a smile, it was rare that he didn't wear the Taoist robe that didn't eat the fireworks of the world today, but casually wore a soft-textured Xuanwen wide-sleeved robe, but he looked like a cynical child of a family.

However, seeing Jun Wuye approaching, Chaolu did not complain as usual, but stood silently in place, and the fingers carrying the bags tightened unconsciously.

“…… What's wrong? "I couldn't wait for Chaolu's complaint, Jun Wuye was a little surprised.

"It's fine."

Chaolu barely squeezed out a smile, looked up at the not bright sky, and sighed like a gossamer: "I have always had a hunch during this period of time, feeling that the truth is not far away......

Jun Wuye was silent for a while, and did not take over the conversation, but casually glanced at the bag on Chao Lu's back from the corner of his eye, "Look at your posture, do you dare to go far away?" ”

"Huh?" Hearing Jun Wuye's question, Chaolu, who had been in a trance for a long time, came back to his senses in a daze, thinking that the desert outside the gate where the Cangye Palace is located is also a remote place, right? So he responded ambiguously and casually, without specifying.

Seeing that Chaolu had something on his mind, Jun Wuye did not continue to ask, but said thoughtfully: "You just leave like this, what will happen to the Quartet Martial Arts in two months?" Hmm~ Although it seems to be just a false title, but you have become the leader of this martial arts alliance anyway......"

"Quartet Martial Arts? What is that? This unfamiliar term that I have never heard of makes Chaolu a little confused, and those who sent the alliance leader's waist card don't seem to have said it to themselves~" You don't know? Seeing Chaolu's curious baby look, it was Jun Wuye's turn to be surprised, but he quickly calmed down and explained: "You should understand, not only there are various sects in the Central Plains, but there are also many gangs and cottages that occupy the king in Guanwai and the south, and the well-known martial arts conference is only held between the Central Plains sects, and every once in a while, the sects outside the Guanwai and the south will send elite disciples to come to the Central Plains martial arts to challenge under the banner of 'meeting friends with martial arts', which is the so-called Quartet Martial Arts Association~"

Kanwai ......

So, that means that the Night Palace, which has not moved for a long time, will also send people to attend? So the flowers are pouring into the night...... No, can't wait! Now there are still more than two months left before the Quartet Martial Arts Conference, and she must do her best to find out the ins and outs of the matter, otherwise, the bet between her and Yu Fengxian will be meaningless!

"It's okay, I'll be back next month." Fingers tightened the bag on her back, she resolutely raised her head, yes, a month is enough!

It's just that hearing Jun Wuye say this, she suddenly felt a little relieved, and grabbed the corner of the other party's clothes with some hesitation, she knew that it was a little difficult to speak, but there was no other way to think about it-"Jun Wuye, can you please help take care of Uncle Xia and his family who live in the Alliance Lord's Mansion during my absence?" Because the Quartet Martial Arts will ...... I'm worried that the people of the Wulin League will embarrass them. After speaking, he quickly took out the alliance leader's waist card and handed it over, feeling very worried.

"Hmm."

Unexpectedly, Jun Wuye, who has always been used to wandering around and staying in every place for a short time, actually agreed very quickly, Chaolu looked at the other party's eyes that always couldn't see through what she was thinking, and before she could speak, Jun Wuye took the waist card and chuckled: "It seems that I can't do it as the acting leader of the alliance~"

“…… I'm sorry. ”

Seeing Jun Wuye's still breezy smile, Chaolu didn't feel a little relaxed in her heart, and she made up her mind several times that she couldn't drag down Jun Wuye, who was already uninterested in the rivers and lakes, because of her own affairs, but the act of breaking her oath again and again made her feel very uncomfortable, except for repeatedly apologizing, she really didn't know what to do.

Because, after the people around her left one by one, she realized how insignificant her strength was, and she didn't know how much she had to take over a mess, but she unconsciously threw it to others to help bear it, such a self is simply selfish to the extreme, right?

A warm touch fell from the top of his head, and he blinked his eyes in shock, and in his sight was Jun Wuye's magnified smile - the handsome young man with slender eyebrows and eyes patted Chaolu's head like touching a puppy, squinted his eyes and laughed softly: "You owe me so much favor, but you have to remember to pay it back when the time comes~"

"Hey ......"

Before he could complain, the corner of Jun Wuye's slightly cool clothes swept across Chaolu's cheeks like a breeze, and when he looked at it again, he had already turned around and walked away......

In the haze of smoke and rain, the back of Jun Wuye who walked away quickly disappeared at the end of the noisy crowd of the morning market.

It wasn't until she couldn't see the man anymore that Chaolu regained her spirits, spread out her palms, patted her cheek vigorously, threw her bag on her back, turned around with more determination than before, and walked in the opposite direction to the city gate.
