After a long time, the door finally opened slowly.

Yuxiu was the first to walk out, and there were rare tears flashing in the corners of her eyes. Immediately after, it was Mu Chen, her deep gaze collided with Qing Ling's face, and for a moment she was stunned, but she saw that her gaze had already crossed her and fell to the person behind her.

Luo Yao leaned against the door frame and smiled at Qing Ling, "Are you still satisfied with the boat?" ”

Qing Ling's heart finally landed, and while walking towards him, he said, "It's good." In a moment I will write down the paperwork and keep enough money, and I will definitely not lose him. ”

Qing Ling stretched out his hand to support Luo Yao, and Luo Yao closed the door with his backhand.

Qing Ling's face was surprised, and he raised his head, "Little Qi......"

Luo Yao didn't hurry, took her with him, and slowly walked to the couch and sat down.

His expression was as calm as before, but his slightly complicated eyes were a little less calm, and after staring at Qingling for a moment, he said slowly: "Yu'er, you won't leave with us." ”

Qing Ling almost stood up and opened his eyes wide, "Why?" After thinking about it, he said, "Is it ...... What did Mu Chen say to you? He threatens us? ”

Luo Yao held Qing Ling's hand, soothed her with a gentle smile, and said softly, "No." After a pause, his tone seemed to be a little faint, "Mu Chen...... In fact...... It's not as strong as you think. ”

Qing Ling moved her lips, as if she wanted to refute something, but she didn't open her mouth in the end.

Luo Yao poured a cup of tea and handed it to Qing Ling, "When I was about the same age as Yu'er, because of those changes in the family, my temperament became very rebellious, and I often ran away from home. When he was older, he simply abandoned Baili's identity, wandered around, and lived in seclusion among ordinary people.

My father, who was once a famous noble son in the Donglu family, acted with courtesy and righteousness all his life, and naturally disagreed with the way of life I chose. But he didn't stop me, nor did he force me to give up, but let me choose my own path in life, even if it was completely against his own will.

Sometimes, when I think back to my youth, although I have many regrets, I have never regretted my choice. If I had complied with my father's wishes, stayed in the Dazehou Mansion since I was a child, and grew up as the heir of the family, then I would eventually become an ordinary son of a family, like Mo Nanhao and them, it is rare to have real freedom and true happiness in my life. ”

Qing Ling heard the clue from Luo Yao's words, and asked Chi Chi, "Is it ...... Could it be that Yu'er ......?"

Luo Yao didn't answer positively, "Yu'er and I have been together for a short time, but it can also be seen that he is an extremely smart child. ”

Speaking of this, he stared at Qing Ling with deep meaning, and smiled a little narrowly, "It can be seen that I suggested that you use your brain diligently back then, and it was indeed effective." ”

Qing Ling remembered the joke between the two of them in the past, and couldn't help but blush, and slapped Luo Yao's arm, "What's the matter with you, I'm already very smart!" Then he thought of Yuxiu again, his mood sank, and he sighed: "But you should also see it, that kid has a temperament that doesn't look like us......"

Luo Yao remembered the scene of Yuxiu kneeling in front of him just now, and sighed in his heart, "He is a child with great ambitions, and he knows what he wants. When the time comes, if you want to regret it and start over, you may not have another chance. ”

Qing Ling knew Yuxiu better, and knew his attachment and admiration to Mu Chen, and when he heard Luo Yao say this at this time, he already knew it in his heart.

Luo Yao shook Qing Ling's hand and looked at her, "I know you are bent on leaving the Eastern Continent, but the child has his own ideas. And I hope to be like my father, who did back then, to respect his own choice and not force him to follow the path I wanted. ”

After a pause, "I don't agree with some of his ideas. As a father, I also have many regrets in my heart. There are so many understandings, experiences, and skills that I can't wait to have the opportunity to teach them...... However, this does not mean that he is willing to accept my teaching and giving. I also have to admit that he is indeed more suitable to stay by Mu Chen's side. ”

When Qing Ling heard Mu Chen's name, his heart churned again, and he slowly withdrew his hand and turned his head sideways, with an angry expression on his face.

Luo Yao stared at her silently for a long time and smiled, "If we leave, it's not like we won't come back." Ning Yan is still in Lingxiao City, and Peng Yi and I have a brother-sister relationship for nearly a hundred years, and I always have to go to see them. There are also a few senior brothers of Chongwu, don't you think about them? ”

～～

Qing Ling put the last few pieces of luggage into the cabin and lifted the curtain to come out.

Yuxiu stood beside the stake of the rope, her dark eyes looked at her mother steadily, her little hands, which had always been very clean, touched the damp stake without being dirty, and her fingers unconsciously picked at the soft and rotten bark on it.

Qing Ling was silent for a moment, squeezed out a smile, and stepped forward to rub the top of the child's hair.

She squatted down, raised her hand to untie the dream stone ring tied around her neck, and hung it on Yuxiu's chest, then grabbed his right hand and clapped her palm.

"Did Your Majesty teach you the secret of sealing the blade before? Now you gather your mind and slowly recite it in your heart. ”

Yuxiu obediently closed her eyes slightly, concentrated, and silently recited the heart recipe in her heart.

A cyan glow passed from Qing Ling's palm to Yuxiu's palm. The child was shaken by the sudden huge force, and involuntarily took a step back, and then was quickly taken into his arms by Qing Ling.

Qingling hugged Yuxiu for a long time, buried his face in his fine white neck, smelled the unique sweet smell of the child, and tears came out of his eyes.

Luo Yao finished reinforcing the nails of the bulkhead, and also walked out, raising his eyes to see the scene of mother and son hugging each other, and his heart was slightly sour.

He stepped forward, leaned over to hug the two, and said with a smile: "Okay, it's not like we won't see each other again." ”

Mu Chen stood silently under the eaves, looking at the family of three on the riverside from afar, crying and laughing and hugging each other.

Xun who was waiting beside him raised his eyes to catch a glimpse of his expression, and finally couldn't bear it anymore, so he lowered his voice and asked for instructions: "Your Majesty, do you want to ...... Send people to guard the estuary of the Yansui River? With the current physical condition of the emperor and the prince, they will definitely be invincible......"

Mu Chen raised his hand to stop Xun from continuing.

A damp river breeze, mixed with the coolness of a rainy day, hit the face.

He only felt a breath, and he couldn't help but cough lowly.

Yu Xiu raised her head when she heard the sound and looked over here with a little worry.

Qing Ling also turned his head, and there seemed to be complicated emotions in his eyes, and then he slowly got up and walked towards Mu Chen.

She stood still under the eaves, her eyes seemed to be a little wandering, and she seemed to deliberately avoid Mu Chen, "You...... You'll treat Yu'er well, right? ”

Mu Chen tried to suppress his cough and let out a faint "um" sound.

Qing Ling said again: "I left the Qingyun Sword to him. He's too young to control Excalibur at will, and I'll come back and teach him when he's older. ”

Mu Chen was silent for a long time when he heard this, and said, "Okay." ”

Qing Ling lowered his eyes, hiding the emotions in his eyes, and after a while, he raised his head, and his tone couldn't help but raise slightly, "You are serious, will you be good to him?" You should have guessed that you were with him...... You and I don't have any blood ...... at all."

"Qingling."

Mu Chen stared at her, his tone faint, "Do you remember the promise I made to you at the top of Zhangguo Peak?" ”

Qing Ling's expression changed several times, and finally said lightly: "Those words from the past no longer have any meaning. ”

She turned around and looked at Luo Yao, who was bowing her head and talking to Yuxiu, "I don't want to worry about those old grudges. Life is actually very short, and for the rest of the days, I just want to live freely and happily and make up for all the happiness I have lost. ”

Luo Yao once said that the West Continent is run by the Red River, and the climate is dry and hot, compared to the East Continent, which is evergreen all year round and is therefore also known as the Green Land, it is actually not a habitable place.

But Qingling is still very yearning.

Behind her, on this green land that gave birth to her and raised her, there have been too many joys and sorrows, love and hate. The stories that belong to her parents, the stories that belong to her, are emotional, proud, sad and lonely...... There has been infinite glory standing proudly above all people, and there has been despair of losing everything.

"I didn't insist on leaving Donglu because I was afraid of you...... It's because there are too many memories and ties, too many people and things...... In the meantime, you have to worry about many other things...... And now, the only thing I want to do is just be with Xiao Qi. ”

She unconsciously bent the corners of her lower lip slightly, raised her eyes to look at Luo Yao, who was turning around on the shore and also smiling slightly at herself, her tone became unusually soft, "In the eyes of two people, there is only each other. ”

～～

The boat sailed out leisurely.

Qingling leaned on Luo Yao's arms, thinking about the separation from Yuxiu, and her mood was always a little gloomy.

Luo Yao stroked her long hair, "Why don't you come back when your injuries are better?" Or are you worried that Mu Chen will treat him badly? But you yourself said that he really loves Yu'er. ”

Qing Ling sighed lowly and raised his eyes to look at Luo Yao, "Why aren't you worried about your son at all?" Are you so relieved to hand him over to Mu Chen? Do you know, Mu Chen ......" paused again, pursed his lips and said nothing.

The movement in Luo Yao's hand stopped, and then he continued to stroke Qing Ling's hair, and said with a light smile: "What's wrong with him?" Deliberately let Mu Han defect and take the opportunity to take my life? ”

Qing Ling was stunned for a moment, and then stood up, "How do you know?" ”

"He told me himself."

"...... he?"

"Hmm."

There was a long silence, "What did he tell you?" ”

"Nothing."

Luo Yao's fingertips wrapped around a strand of Qing Ling's hair, and Liuli's eyes were calm, but in his mind, he couldn't help but reproduce Mu Chen's words again, and there were some mixed tastes for a while.

He lifted the curtain and looked out the window, and changed the subject without a trace, "Hey, isn't this the island?" ”

I don't know when the boat has sailed into the floating islands, and the blue bells and red maples are reflected on the floating islands.

Qing Ling poked his head out and looked at the island pointed by Luo Yao in the golden sunset, searching hard in his memory, "This is ......"

Luo Yao turned his head to look at her, with a smile on his face, "Senior sister forgot?" Last time you peeked at me taking a shower on this island......"

Qing Ling's face turned red and reprimanded: "Nonsense! How can I peek at you! ”

"Forget? Later, you forced me to use those veils ......"

Before he finished speaking, he had already covered his mouth in shame by Qing Ling.

The soft lips touched the palm, and the sweetness and throbbing brought out instantly spread into the limbs.

looked at each other, with a lot of affection, and was speechless for a long time.

"Little Seven."

"Senior sister."

"Are you...... Don't want to leave the Eastern Continent? ”

"Honestly?"

"To be honest, of course!"

"Honestly...... Actually, it doesn't matter where I go. With a gentle smile, Liulimu leaned closer, "I just want to be with you." ”

A woman poked it open with her finger in disdain, "You man...... Why are you still so unassertive! ”

A man approached again, "In front of my senior sister, I have always been not very assertive. ”

“…… You talk well, don't move your hands and feet! ”

After a struggle.

A man hugged his wife, "When does senior sister plan to return to Donglu?" ”

A woman meekly fell into her husband's arms, "I don't know. I don't even plan for the future. You can come back to me, and I have become the number one master in the Eastern Continent and the daughter of your uncle...... What else can be predicted in this world? I don't care what I do now! I just want to be with you. ”

The fisherman's boat slowly tosses and turns, undulating like a lonely leaf between a lake and island, and finally sails into the wider and infinite western sea.

However, no matter how long the journey and wandering, I will never feel tired.
