“…… Come again, and I'll kill you." ”

Watching Chaolu get up from the ground covered in wolves, Chen Yao's eyes revealed a trace of disgust.

Hearing such cruel and resolute words, Chaolu was immediately stunned, and she struggled to stand up with her arms, "...... Kill me? Are you really going to kill me? Holding his chest and whispering, his bun was shaken off, and his long hair, which was as black as the night, fell down like a ghost, "Good! You kill! Come on—"

She gritted her teeth and staggered in the direction where Chen Yao was.

"Oops! Someone drag this crazy woman away—" There was a cacophony of voices all around.

Looking at Chen Yao's expressionless face, Chao Lu's heart was like a knife, she didn't believe it, she wanted to bet!

However, before she could get closer, she felt a sharp heart-rending pain in her chest, the touch of her being pierced by a cold object......

Seeing Chaolu's desperate expression, the young man, who had been indifferent, let go of the hilt of his sword in a daze, took two steps back, and his pale face was lightly covered with a little red blood.

Chaolu had a white miserable sword stuck in her chest, and fell to her knees weakly, she raised her head and smiled sadly, coughing up a mouthful of blood, "Ahem...... Why, not with your sword energy? Wouldn't that be more convenient......"

She fell to the ground tiredly, her vision gradually blurred, and she vaguely heard the panicked shouts of the group from the opposite side—"Senior Brother Chi? What's wrong with you, junior brother? ”

“……”

Am I dying?

I'm so tired, I'm so tired......

……

……

In her sleep, she couldn't stop muttering, as if there was someone beside her, but no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't see the person's face clearly, so she could only lie in place without doing anything, letting the other party's slightly cool fingers caress her cheeks.

"Morning ......"

There was a soft and pleasant call from a man in her ears, and she wanted to respond, but her throat and eyes seemed to be blocked, and she couldn't make a sound, she couldn't see clearly, couldn't move, couldn't speak, and could only fall asleep again.

I don't know how long it took, but I felt a little better, and I struggled to open my eyes, and there were holes and leaky roofs and old mottled earthen walls in my blurred vision, and the touch under her body was soft but rough fabric, but despite this, she still felt warm and reassured......

What is this place?

With a little force, she tugged at the wound on her chest, and a heart-rending pain made her curl up - suddenly, a palm with the coolness of her sleep touched her forehead.

Raising his head in surprise, he was greeted by a cold and beautiful face like a fairy.

"Shumo!"

She exclaimed, only to find that her voice was very hoarse, "You...... How did you end up here? "I vaguely only remember that I was stabbed by Chen Yao and was very badly injured, but what happened after that was completely broken and I couldn't remember anything.

Hearing Chaolu's question, the handsome young man in white turned his eyes slightly sideways, and his expressionless face rarely showed a little melancholy, "...... Closely, you're dead. ”

Chaolu subconsciously looked down, only to find that he was wearing only a plain shirt, through the thin fabric, you can see that the skin below the ribs is covered with thick bandages, it seems that the wound has been treated by Shumo, and looking at the surrounding environment, it seems that it is just a broken temple for a temporary stay......

"How did you find me?" She took a breath, her lungs burning uncomfortably.

Shu Mo was holding a notched porcelain bowl in his hand, it seemed that he was just looking for it from nearby for emergency, and there was a dark brown decoction in it, and a slightly bitter smell emanated from the steaming heat, Chao Lu was about to reach out and take it, but he was surprised to see Shu Mo pick up the spoon next to him with his other hand and scoop up half a spoonful of medicinal juice, "...... You're badly hurt, don't move. ”

After speaking, he put the spoon to his lips and blew it, and only after making sure that his mouth was not burning did he reach over and let Chaolu drink the medicine.

Looking at the decoction in the spoon in a daze, Chao Lu suddenly felt a warm burst in his eyes, and without thinking about it, he asked in a ghostly way: "Is it because I'm dying that you're so good to me?" ”

“……”

The slender, white finger holding the spoon stiffened in midair, followed by a vague sigh.

I don't know why, Chaolu laughed for no reason, seeing that Shumo was silent, she suddenly felt a burst of relief in her heart, thinking about it carefully, why she was so obsessed with this cold guy, mostly because he could always appear when he was the most vulnerable and helpless, as if as long as he was there, he would get better...... "Hehe, you know what? I often feel insecure since I came into this world, and if I am careless, I can lose my life, but ......" she smiled softly, and her color softened little by little, "As long as I think of you, I feel that I will definitely not die." ”

“…… You shouldn't think like that, human life is very fragile. Shumo lowered his eyes, his eyes contemplative.

"I know."

Chaolu smiled silently and nodded, drank the medicine handed over by Shumo, and the tip of her tongue was filled with a cool and bitter taste, just like her mood at the moment, "Maybe for you, saving my life is just a trivial matter, but I can't help but indulge in it, and I still entangle you......" Speaking of this, she couldn't help but smile bitterly, and then raised her head solemnly-"I'm sorry, I apologize for the trouble I caused you before." ”

“……”

She was still silent when she answered, and from this angle she couldn't see Shu Mo's expression, only the pure white clothes like moonlight fell into sight.

“…… Don't think too much about it, I'll get you back to the world you used to be. After saying this, Shumo put down the medicine bowl and turned to leave, leaving only Chaolu's back resolutely.

Return to the original world.

Oh, yes, I'll be back soon......

Realizing this, Chaolu raised his head and looked at the leaky roof above, I don't know why, it was obviously his long-awaited dream, but when he thought of saying goodbye soon, he couldn't help the sourness in his heart.

After a period of recuperation, the wounds on Chaolu's skin and flesh have begun to heal gradually, but the heart and veins have been injured, and they are only maintained by medicine, and I am afraid that it will be difficult to recover completely.

She wanted to promise Jun Wuye to rush back within a month, but now that she was injured, she couldn't help the will of Chaolu, and seeing that the day of the Quartet Martial Arts Conference was getting closer and closer, she could only endure the physical pain and go to Shumo to say goodbye - no matter what, she must also finish the affairs of this world before she could go back without distraction.

"Are you really leaving?"

Shumo stood by the door in the backlight, his white clothes lined with the red leaves that covered the mountains and fields outside the house, beautiful and a little desolate, his expression remained unchanged, but the love in his eyes was as vivid as after the ice and snow melted.

Chaolu leaned against the door frame, a little surprised by Shumo's tone, if he heard it wrong, he didn't seem to want to leave by himself? Of course, even she couldn't believe it.

Before she could speak, Shumo turned his back and said coldly, "...... Then there you go. ”

"I'm sorry, I have to finish these things." Although the future is still unknown, she must at least be worthy of her conscience.

After a short silence, Shu Mo suddenly raised his hand and pointed out of the courtyard, only to see a pure white horse tied to the stump not far away, "When the time comes, I'll come back to you." ”

"Well, thank you."

Looking at Shumo's back, Chao Lu gritted his teeth and nodded, then walked to the horse outside the courtyard without squinting, and jumped on the horse with a pull on the reins......

After running non-stop for several days, Chaolu finally arrived at Guining City, where the alliance leader's mansion was located, before the Quartet Martial Meeting.

I don't know if it's because it will soon be held to cover the entire Central Plains martial arts and many sects outside the Guan, the already prosperous Guining City has recently become more noisy, the streets and alleys are full of people with swords and swords, and the major restaurants and inns are also overcrowded.

Chaolu went straight back to the alliance leader's mansion, and as soon as he entered the courtyard, he saw the group of bear children who were suspected of being punished for being punished for walking in a sweat not far away, and when they saw Chaolu coming back, the children rushed over happily, and Chaolu asked while distributing the snacks bought on the road to everyone: "Hey! Nothing happened these days while I wasn't there, did it? ”

"No, no! A few of us are well-behaved~" After her real name was picked up by Chaolu, the little girl who changed her literary name to "Xia Huanxiang" licked the sugar gourd and replied with a smile, as soon as she said this, several children next to her also nodded again and again, and the whole looked like they were colluding.

Chao Lu twitched the corners of his mouth, left the group of bear children and continued to walk towards the house, he didn't see Uncle Xia and the two sisters and brothers, Chao Lu had to go to the backyard - anyway, when he left more than a month ago, he specially entrusted the matter here to Jun Wuye, but he didn't expect to see no one when he came back, damn it, did he go to drink flower wine again?

The autumn breeze blew, the cold courtyard path was covered with fallen leaves, Chao Lu walked to the backyard wing, pushed open the hidden door, the dim light in the room made her eyes uncomfortable for a moment, but she soon saw through the screen a person sitting cross-legged on the bed, seemingly meditating and practicing.

Lightly bypassing the screen, I saw the young man sitting on the couch with his eyes closed, his hands on his knees, the water vapor evaporating from his body due to the cultivation of internal strength floating in the air like smoke, and the crystal beads of sweat slid down the bridge of his straight and heroic nose, wetting the hair scattered on his shoulders......

"Jun Wuye, you...... What happened to you? ”

Realizing that this person was quiet and not at all as teasing and joking as she remembered, Chaolu was a little flustered, she walked over with trepidation, and found that the other party's face was very pale, and the original deep internal force was also very disordered.

By the way, when his internal strength broke through the eighth layer, it was with Jun Wuye's help that he was able to succeed, and vaguely remembered that the situation was not quite right after Jun Wuye finished his work that day, but because he kept saying that he would be fine in a few days, he didn't care too much about it at the time, could it be ......

Just when Chaolu was thinking more and more frightened, the young man who was meditating with his eyes closed suddenly opened his eyes slowly and raised his head with a look of confusion.
