The two returned to the inner courtyard.

When Lan Shui entered the house, he moved the pot of anchovies to the table by the window and placed it, gently stirring the branches and leaves, and checking where it was injured.

The breeze is blowing, and under the oblique sunlight, the slightly trembling anchovy bananas have spread out a few patches of turquoise, one in the east and a little in the west, full of vitality.

Duanmu leaned back in the Taishi chair on the upper steps of the front hall, and the whole person spread out relaxedly, his peach blossom eyes narrowed slightly, and he looked at Lan Yu's back quietly.

The woman's jade-like black hair pulls the loose bun, and when the head is hooked, the arc of the neck is more perfect.

She was silent and extremely quiet when she was doing things.

When he was looking at the most excited, the voice of Xian Ge sounded outside the door: "Master, the official documents have been moved, do you want to bring them in?" He"

Duanmu Li temporarily entrusted the heart of the storm to Yuetian and Yan Rongtian, but he still had to check the major affairs on the island.

There is a special person on the island to sort out the important official documents, and the seagulls send a letter to them, and then send them back after approval.

"Come in." Duanmu fumbled his hands behind his head to move into a more comfortable position, and said lazily.

Xian Ge pushed open the door and saw such a scene.

Lan Shui sat in front of the window, carefully trimming the anchovies, her long eyelashes fanning down her eye sockets, and the sun shrouded her halo, there was a trace of indescribable beauty.

It is not as stunning and charming as Luo Yunxi, but the peony has her national color and fragrance, and the valley orchid also has its own fresh fragrance.

And the master of his own family is lazily admiring this orchid at this moment.

The atmosphere is quiet and nice.

The pace of the string song is also brisk, if the blue water can enter the life of the master, so that the master is no longer lonely, and inject a source of fresh life into their camp, this is really a good thing.

He lightly put a stack of official letters in his hand on the table and bowed out.

Duanmu Li didn't look through it, he didn't even glance at the afterglow, and still stared at the wonderful person in front of the window.

It was Lan Shui, who was busy and glanced at the official document on the table.

It was at this glance that the movement of her hand suddenly stopped.

Seeing Lan Shui staring straight at the official document on the table, Duanmu retracted his gaze in confusion.

At the top was a leather letterbag, sealed, and no one knew what it contained until it was opened.

Duanmu Li was thinking about its peculiarities, and Lan Shui had already put down the work in his hand and walked over.

"Is this an official letter from Stormheart Island?"

Lan Shui asked lightly.

"Hmm." Duanmu sat up straight, picked up the top letter bag, and looked at it.

There are a lot of official documents sent every day like this envelope, what's wrong?

He stared at this envelope for a long time, and then looked at Lan Shui's expression, and muttered in his heart, there must be a problem!

There aren't many things that can attract this Niko!

Even though she didn't care now, as if she was just asking casually, he keenly captured the moment of distraction in her eyes just now.

"Open it and take a look, don't miss the official document." Lan Shui said and took the initiative to take the letter and lightly tore off the seal.

Duanmu smiled lightly from the corner of his mouth, and did not stop it, but carefully observed Lan Shui's expression.

Sure enough, something has changed!

At the moment when the letter paper was pulled out, Lan Shui's face changed instantly, and his face, which had been forced to calm down, suddenly turned pale!

"What's wrong?" Duanmu jumped up from the chair in a hurry, and didn't even have time to hide it, and directly pulled through the letter that the blue water was holding very tightly.

After reading what was written on the letter, Duanmu Li was a little dumbfounded.

What the? This one?

He took a deep look at Blue Water.

The letter said that a month later was the day when the new saintess of the Immortal Prefecture Holy Sect ascended the throne, and the invitation letter had been sent to Tiannan and Haibei, and the lords of the islands and islands had tried their best to go over, and if they really couldn't go, they would also bring congratulatory gifts.

It has been decades since the last saint ascended the throne, and the young people have naturally never seen such a grand occasion, and they can't help but have some hope in their hearts.

Seeing Lan Shui's abnormal reaction at this time, Duanmu Li's heart chuckled, and the words of the Holy Sect and the Demon Girl came to his mind at the same time.

He couldn't help but blurt out, "Are you from the Holy Sect?" ”

Lan Shui looked at his pupils suddenly widened, with a look of surprise on his face, and instinctively shook his head: "No, I'm not." ”

"Really, not?" Duanmu Li seemed to see her scruples, slightly retracted the complicated look on his face, lowered his voice, and looked at Lan Shui's face with a pair of dark eyes.

Blue Water hesitated and didn't answer him immediately.

When she wanted to answer, Duanmu Li had already smiled lightly and said, "It's so cute that you lie!" ”

Blue water can't help but turn red.

She's not lying, and now, she's not. And there are some things that I really don't want to mention again.

"I'll take the anchovy out to bask in the sun." Lan Shui said something irrelevant, turned around and picked up the anchovy, and walked out of the room quickly.

Looking at her back in a hurry, Duanmu pulled a smile from the corner of his mouth, chased him out and said, "Don't be exposed to the sun, just bask for half an hour!" ”

He was about to follow, but Xian Ge appeared again, with a solemn face, as if he had something to say to him.

He glanced at the blue water, then at the end

Wood off.

Duanmu moved in the middle of the centrifuge, beckoned to him, and asked in a low voice, "Is there any news from the Holy Sect?" ”

Xian Ge nodded and said, "The Holy Sect will hold a ceremony for the new saint to enter the shrine on Mihua Island in Changsheng Prefecture on the eighth day of the eighth month of the eighth month, and the official document just sent contains a letter from the messenger. ”

Duanmuli nodded and listened to him.

"The subordinates turned around and found out the name of this new saintess." Xian Ge spoke earnestly.

Duanmu was slightly surprised.

Although he didn't know much about the Holy Sect, he also knew that the names of the Holy Maidens of each generation of the Holy Sect were kept strictly secret, and it was almost impossible for outsiders to know. Didn't expect his people to be able to inquire about this?

"What's it called?" He asked, a little curious.

What can a name tell? Is it worth bringing up the string song so solemnly?

After a pause, Xian Ge turned his head to look at the blue water squatting under the shade of the tree in the distance, and whispered, "Blue fire." ”

Duanmu Li's smile froze on his face.

His reaction was expected, and Xian Ge's voice became lower and lower: "The master asked his subordinates to inquire about the affairs of the Holy Sect woman, but unfortunately the subordinates are not doing their best and have not yet inquired about their eyebrows." ”

"That's enough." When Duanmu Li spoke again, his voice was a little hoarse, and he said in a deep voice, "It's enough to find this name." Let's go down, keep some snacks over there, and report back when there is news. ”

"Okay." The chord retreated.

Duanmu's gaze drifted away from looking at the blue water in the distance.

Lan Shui is half-squatting under the tree, watching the anchovy banana greedily sucking the sunlight that leaks between the branches and leaves, very leisurely.

Yu Guang caught a glimpse of Xian Ge's departure, and she stood up.

But because of the long squatting, his legs and knees bent, he stumbled and almost fell.

Duanmu walked over quickly.

He glanced at Lan Shui deeply, slowly folded the letter that was still in his hand, put it in his arms, and said in a deep voice: "On the eighth day of the eighth month of August, I will go to Changsheng Prefecture to participate in the succession ceremony of the Holy Maiden. ”

Lan Shui was stunned for a moment, and blurted out, "Are you going?" ”

A hint of displeasure quickly crossed her brow.

"Well, can't you?" Duanmu Li curled his lips lightly and asked with an elegant smile.

Lan Shui's gaze at him was also extremely deep, and she had never liked to say much, and she suddenly said categorically: "No." ”

"No way?" Duanmu was stunned, "Weishenme? ”

"Don't go!" The displeasure on Lan Shui's face when he mentioned this was still easy to see, "I don't want you to go." ”

After saying the rest of the sentence, she lowered her face a little embarrassed.

This is from the heart.

When Duanmu Li heard this, he opened his eyebrows and smiled, but he didn't have Lan Shui's thoughts, but reached out and held one of her small hands, and said softly: "Go, weishenme is not going, I will take you there." ”

Lan Shui was stunned, looked up and saw that he knew everything, and he couldn't say anything in his heart for a while.

"Are you afraid?" Duanmu Li rubbed her little hand lightly.

Lan Shui's eyes when he looked at him also changed from indifference just now to tenderness like water now, and his facial features twitched slightly.

Fear? Of course I'm afraid! Countless days and nights, countless nightmares, made her dust that past into the depths of her memory, not daring to think about it, not daring to recall.

And now, such a soft inquiry completely woke her up.

No one had ever asked her that.

Afraid? Just two words aroused her like a rolling mood.

All the changes in her face fell on Duanmu Li's eyes.

Duanmuli's heart was suddenly filled with thousands of strands of distress.

Not sure what happened to her, but as you can guess, she's been through a lot of pain......

"Shui Shui ......" As soon as his right arm was strong, he pulled Lan Shui over, hugged it tightly to his chest, and lowered his head to kiss her eyes.

The action is so natural that there is no room for half a thought.

Lan Shui's heart trembled instantly, and his toes softened, and he leaned on his arms, and at the same time, his whole body was relaxed.

It's as if a guest who has been walking in the desert for months has lost his way and walked into a desperate alley, suddenly found an exit and saw the dawn of hope.
