After Shangguan Yu went back, he was first scolded in the hall for an hour, and then he was scolded by Shangguan Ye for two whips, and then he knelt in the hall for three hours on his father's orders.

Thinking that he is the master of Qingmiao Peak, the number one killer in the ghost domain, whoever sees him outside is either flattering or retreating, who would have thought that he would be scolded and scolded, and he will be beaten if he wants to, and he will suffer obediently, without a word of refutation. If outsiders see this, they must not buckle their eyeballs and wash them a few times before putting them back on to see clearly. However, the only person in the world who can treat Shangguan Yu like this is probably his father, who always treats him coldly.

When Shangguan Yu came out with a pair of numb and disobedient legs, it was already dark, all the courtyards had been closed and the lights had been turned off, and even the colored stone path was only a few small orange lights lit up.

He took a long breath, forgot about the punishment when he went out as usual, and walked to his yard as if nothing happened, but no matter how calm he was, he had to be reminded by the hot whiplash on his body.

After following the path for a while, he had unconsciously walked to the bamboo garden, and he was about to go back to his courtyard in the opposite direction of the bamboo garden, but suddenly he saw that there seemed to be a figure in the bamboo garden.

His eyesight has always been excellent, and after only a brief look, he saw that the person inside was Jin Yuan.

At night, he doesn't go back to sleep, what are he doing here alone.

Shangguan Yu was idle, and simply walked over to see what was wrong with him. As soon as he approached, Jin Yuan noticed that someone was coming, turned around slightly, and the two looked at each other at night.

Shangguan Yu laughed twice, and said as he walked in: "Why don't you rest so late, it's interesting to blow the cold wind here alone?"

Jin Yuan retracted his gaze and continued to look ahead, not knowing where he was looking, and said silently for a moment: "Maybe the cold wind is not cold, but most people are used to it, so they feel that it is cold." ”

Shangguan Yu felt that something was wrong with him tonight, and he also followed his gaze to look forward, his eyes turned deeper, and said softly: "So, you are feeling the real cold now?"

Jin Yuan smiled bitterly, his eyelashes drooped slightly, and said: "No relatives, no reason, no support, no hope, isn't it cold?"

Shangguan Yu sat down in the corridor by himself, stepped on the railing with one leg, landed on the ground with one leg, put one hand on the arched knee, hung down with the other, tilted his head and glanced at Jin Yuan, leaned on the pillar and said: "The deceased is gone, it's useless to think about it, I think if they are still alive, they will definitely not want to see you like this." ”

Jin Yuan naturally knows this truth, anyone can say these words, he has said it many times, but things often fall on him to know how powerless those words of comfort that have nothing to do with him are. He finally turned around, pursed his lips at Shangguan Yu sadly, and said, "That's what I said, but can they really see what I look like now?

Shangguan Yu pursed his lips and felt a little bored: "You are an understanding person." ”

Jin Yuan also sat down opposite Shangguan Yu, although he was sad at this time, his face was still calm and warm, which made Shangguan Yu feel even more pitiful, he might as well cry a lot, so that he could look happy.

Shangguan Yu asked coldly: "Is your uncle very kind to you?"

He asked this sentence in a very light tone, and his eyes became serious, as if he was talking about the vicissitudes of many years with a friend who had been reunited for a long time, with indescribable pity and a little envy.

Jin Yuan was a little surprised by his tone, and looked at him fixedly before saying: "Yes, he treats me very well, and he is my only relative, more than ten years of nurturing and sheltering, even if you spend your whole life, you can't pay it off." ”

Shangguan Yu's expression suddenly darkened, especially in the night, it looked even more lonely and gloomy, his right index finger and thumb rubbed lightly, and pretended to be relaxed: "I really envy people like you who can stay with their relatives since childhood, I obviously have relatives, but I can live like an orphan from childhood to adulthood, I feel ridiculous when I think about it." ”

Jin Yuan was very surprised by his words, and even the sadness that he had just been immersed in was diluted a lot, and he said in surprise: "How is it possible? Aren't you the young master of the Shangguan family? And you are also the peak master of Qingmiao Peak, how can you live like an orphan?"

Shangguan Yu naturally wouldn't tell him that he had been sent to the Ghost Domain since he was a child, and he had no chance to see his relatives at all, and it was difficult to save his life. He, the son of a family with infinite scenery in the eyes of outsiders, I am afraid that only he knows what kind of life he has lived all these years, but I am afraid that even if he tells outsiders, they may not believe it.

shook his head, and said helplessly: "The son of the family also has a place where he can't help himself, and his life may not be better than yours." In fact, now that I think about it, you are still much luckier than me, at least you have relatives who have been with you for so many years, you have felt their warmth, even if they are not here now, you don't have to worry too much, after all, people will always have this day, right?"

After listening to his words, Jin Yuan seemed to be finally relieved, his face eased a lot, and he looked really relieved.

He also leaned against the pillar, with a perennial smile on his face, and asked, "Listen to the meaning of your words, you seem to have troubles too, I wonder if I can listen to it?"

Shangguan Yu was used to digesting his own thoughts, and he didn't like to tell others about his own affairs, whether he was happy or unhappy, so he just smiled, waved his hand indifferently, and said perfunctorily: "It's just trivial things, there's nothing to say." ”

When he waved his hand, he forgot that there was still a whiplash on his body, and his movements have always been bold and free, not sticking to the pattern, so when the action is bigger, it involves the wound, and then there is a hot pain, and he can't help frowning, and the muscles on his face twitch slightly.

Seeing this, Jin Yuan was about to help him, but when he walked to his side, he raised his hand and stopped him, so he withdrew his hand, but still did not leave his side.

"Is it the master of Shangguan Sect?"

Shangguan Yu nodded.

Jin Yuan contacted what he had just said, and seemed to have an understanding: "Sect Master Shangguan is too harsh on you, and he is still not satisfied with your cultivation and resourcefulness? ”

Shangguan Yu thought deeply of his words, handed him a look that a hero had seen and slightly understood, and said: "That's what he said!

Jin Yuan seemed to balance a little: "It seems that everyone really has their own suffering." ”

Shangguan Yu didn't care even if he heard his sarcasm, put his hand on the back of his head, and said abruptly, "I'll just say yes, right?"

As the words fell, the two of them looked at each other and laughed in unison.

The night in the garden is rich, only a round of crescent moon hangs in the sky, there are not even a few stars, and there are only a few dim lights around the bamboo garden, shaky, unknown and not dark, two big men sit on the railing and laugh in the night breeze, the scene is both crazy and funny.

The laughter fell, and the two of them sank their faces again, as if they had fallen into their own depressed mood again. After a moment of silence, Jin Yuan suddenly spoke first: "This place is more prosperous than Cloud City, and there are many sects gathered, I should be able to find something to do soon, and ...... then."

Before he finished speaking, Shangguan Yu squinted and interrupted him lightly: "You just stay in Shangguan's house." ”

Jin Yuan was stunned when he heard this, and he stared at him blankly for a long time without speaking.

Shangguan Yu opened his eyes and said, "You don't want to stay?"

Jin Yuan hurriedly said: "It's not ......"

Shangguan Yu tilted his head: "Then why do you have to look for another place?"

Jin Yuan said a little restrainedly: "After all, I am an outsider, you see that I have no fixed place to take me in, I should have been grateful, how can I be embarrassed to stay here for a long time." ”

Shangguan Yu didn't think so: "How can you say that it is Lai? You are now a guest to Shangguan's family, and you are not eating and drinking for nothing, what are you embarrassed about?"

Jin Yuan still felt that it was inappropriate, and he had to defend himself: "But...... We haven't known each other for a long time, and you don't know me well, do you really feel at ease to keep a person who doesn't know the roots by your side?"

This is not his villain's heart, it's just that the Xuanmen sect has always been cautious and cautious in accepting guests with foreign surnames, and it is necessary to investigate his family background and character, so as not to attract black sheep and disturb the sect, this is a necessary procedure to recruit guests, and this is still the case for ordinary families, let alone a family like the Shangguan family.

Who knew that Shangguan Yu didn't care about him, so he raised the other leg hanging on the ground, folded it on the original leg, looked at the flowers and trees in the garden and said, "Then will you lie to me?"

Jin Yuan's eyes flashed twice, and then he said solemnly: "No." ”

The corners of Shangguan Yu's lips curved: "Isn't that enough?"

Jin Yuan was stunned by his casual attitude.

I saw Shangguan Yu looking at him sideways again, with no hesitation in his eyes: "Since you won't lie to me, why worry about me being uneasy? You just have a clear conscience, as for what I think and how to do it, that's my business, I don't need to worry about it, unless you lied to me from the beginning, so you will be weak-hearted." ”

Although Jin Yuan felt that what he said was right, he was still shocked by his self-confident and even conceited principle of employing people, how could there be such a bold person as him in the Xuanmen.

After a moment of silence, Jin Yuan asked again, "Why do you believe me so much, and if one day you find out that I really lied to you, what will you do?"

Shangguan Yu looked him directly into the eyes and said, "I believe that a person never needs a reason, and in the same way, I don't need a reason to believe in a person. If I find out in the future that you really lied to me, and I don't know people clearly, so I just admit it, what else can I do? ”

As he spoke, he stood up, took two steps closer to Jin Yuan, put his hand on his shoulder, and said sincerely: "We have been through hardships together before, and we have a good conversation tonight, which can be regarded as a sympathy for each other." I've never asked about my background when making friends, no matter what I cultivated, I just wanted to make friends, and I should be very relaxed when I can chat with you when I have nothing to do. You don't have to worry that I pity you, there are thousands of poor people in the world, I am not willing to bring back anyone, like you, it is the first, I am afraid it is difficult to have a second. If you are willing to make me a friend, wouldn't it be better to stay? But if you don't want to make me a friend, I won't be strong. ”

Jin Yuan was respected by him as a "friend", and he couldn't accept it for a while, so he was stunned for a long time before he reacted, and hurriedly said: "Of course I'm willing to make you a friend, since you have said this, if I refuse, I don't know how to lift." As he spoke, he hesitated for a moment, as if he was firming up his determination, and finally seemed to have mustered up the courage to say, "It's okay, I'll stay." ”

Shangguan Yu smiled: "Go up!"

After saying that, he hooked his hand around his neck again, and said with a wicked smile: "Don't worry, if I eat a bite of meat in the future, I will guarantee that you will have a bite of meat." We agree here tonight that I will be your relatives and friends in the future, I will be your support, and you don't have to be homesick anymore, because this is your home, and no one can touch you with my cover!"

Jin Yuan also learned his tone and said nondescriptly: "Okay, I also earned money with a big brother like you, and I will follow the big brother to eat and drink spicy food in the future!"

"Come on, big brother, I'll take you to eat and drink spicy food!"

Shangguan Yu and Jin Yuan hooked their shoulders and got off the bamboo garden, talking and laughing on the colored stone path, two slender figures walked side by side in the night, and the elongated shadows of the two on the ground gradually blended into the darkness until they were gone.

The two parted ways in front of the courtyard where they lived, and a man in black fell behind Shangguan Yu as soon as he entered Tang Yuan.

As if he had known that someone was here, he paused and stood still without saying a word, waiting for the person behind him to come.

Chi Zhan showed his face under the dim orange light, approached Shangguan Yu and said: "I have already checked, there is indeed a small sect in Cloud City, there is a young master in the family, and the sect master is indeed his uncle, and that family was also destroyed by Bai Feng, everything is right." It's just that...... We tried our best but could not find the portrait of the man, and the appearance was still uncertain. ”

Shangguan Yu pondered for a moment and said: "It's okay, so many details can be matched, if it is done deliberately, it is quite difficult, and there is no one who can deceive you so far, do you think he has that ability?"

Although Chi Zhan is still worried about the portrait, Shangguan Yu has always had no last resort, whether there is a problem or not, he must know in his heart, since he said that it is okay, they don't have to worry about being subordinates.

He answered and immediately disappeared into darkness again, while Shangguan Yu yawned and returned to his room.
