People in the tavern come and go, but it is difficult to go back, Chu Qifan secretly scolded himself in his heart for forgetting his business, leaving Zhao Zhiyuan to work there alone, although Zhao Zhiyuan's character will not complain anything: "Miss Fang, if you think this wine is good, I will give you more next time, I still have something to do here, so I will be out of company first." ”

"Then you'll have to give me some more time today!" Fang Xiyueyu said, playing with the small wine glass in her hand.

Chu Qifan stopped leaving, turned his face to look at Fang Xiyue, and said clearly: "Then I'll go and get you some later, I think there should be some stock." ”

"I'm kidding, go get busy, I'm waiting for you here!"

"Hmm...... You see three more people just came in over there, and I'm afraid I won't be able to come back for a while......"

"It's okay, your tavern is going to close after all, and there will always be someone for you to be idle when the time comes!" Fang Xiyue didn't care, and said to herself.

Chu Qifan was silent, he always felt that Fang Xiyue was strange today, and it was estimated that he was looking for him for something, but thinking of Zhao Zhiyuan, who was fighting alone on the front line, he still left quickly.

Fang Xiyue looked at the direction where Chu Qifan disappeared, a little wave passed in her eyes, and then she sighed lightly, held her cheeks, and looked at the wine in the cup for a long time without saying a word.

Zhao Kun and Liu Dafu didn't know when they stopped shouting, the former cleaned up the wine and food on the table, patted his stomach and burped and left leisurely, while the latter returned to his usual and looked leisurely. The two of them didn't look like people who had quarreled, but more like they came back from a walk around the kiln together.

"Bang!"

I don't know how long it took, Fang Xiyue, who was stunned alone, was woken up by a dull collision sound, she suddenly raised her head, only to see a handsome young man standing beside her, looking at her with an embarrassed face, there was also a jar of packaged wine jars on the table in front of the young man, which looked not small, at least forty or fifty pounds.

Isn't this beautiful young man Chu Qifan who went and returned!

"Ahem, this wine is still a bit heavy, and it didn't stabilize when I put it down. Chu Qifan cleared his throat and said.

Fang Xiyue stroked the hair that fell from the tips of her ears, and looked puzzled: "Done?"

"It's too busy...... But it's okay to take a leave of absence once in a while to let your father-in-law move his body!" Chu Qifan shrugged his shoulders, then looked at Fang Xiyue meaningfully, and said, "And I always feel that you are not the same today as usual, it seems that you have something on your mind, or even a lot of concern!"

"I'm so impressed. Fang Xiyue smiled, then looked in the direction of the counter, and sure enough, there was no fat figure anymore, and got up and said, "Let's go, I'll invite you to tea!"

"I also have a ...... for tea here"

Fang Xiyue glanced at Chu Qifan angrily, and said, "It doesn't matter if the tea is not tea, I just want to find a quiet place." ”

Chu Qifan looked at the jar of wine a little depressed, and said, "But, what to do with this wine, it's very tiring to carry it." ”

Fang Xiyue: "......"

The sky is gradually sinking, the sunset dyes the clouds in the sky red, and sometimes there are flocks of migratory birds flying over the clouds, but it is not like the travelers who come and go in this Blackwood City, tossing and turning, but there is no fixed place, Fang knows that he is only a passerby in the rivers and lakes, and he provokes three or two red dust.

On the west side of the city, in the box of a teahouse with decent specifications, the teenagers and girls sat in the middle, looking at each other across the table, and it was Chu Qifan and the others.

Chu Qifan looked around at the mural patterns on the walls around him, and couldn't help but say, "This environment is much better than my father-in-law's tavern!"

Fang Xiyue didn't speak, just poured him a cup of tea, then poured another cup for herself, and drank it to herself.

Why does this scene feel more and more like a date the more you look at it?

Fang Xiyue calmly looked down, her heartbeat rate was many times faster than usual, she really just wanted to change the environment before, but she didn't expect the actual situation to be such a violation, she could only drink tea one sip at a time, trying not to have eye contact with Chu Qifan, so as not to control her face.

Chu Qifan didn't think about it so much, looked at the teacup in Fang Xiyue's hand, and asked in a strange tone, "Don't you martial artists need to go to the toilet?"

"Ahem......" Fang Xiyue's willow eyebrows tightened, and she almost didn't choke on the tea: "Why are you asking this?"

"It's nothing, I just think yours is especially drinkable!"

Fang Xiyue didn't answer his question, but just glared at him fiercely.

Being rectified by Chu Qifan like this, the tension in Fang Xiyue's heart instantly melted by more than half, she peeked at the former a few times, and after a long time, she finally spoke: "Tomorrow I will leave for Xingyue Academy." ”

Chu Qifan was stunned for a while, and then praised him: "You are really good, Xingyue Academy can enter!"

Xingyue Academy is a behemoth that stands in this Sega Empire, even the Sega royal family has to give three points of existence, there are countless martial arts and cultivation resources, it is the cultivation holy land that countless imperial martial artists dream of, of course, there are so many martial artists in the world, if you want to enter it to cultivate, you also need to have a good talent, but not anyone can enter.

Although Chu Qifan is not a martial artist, he has also heard a little about it, Fang Xiyue can successfully enter the Xingyue Academy, presumably the martial arts talent is still very good, and when he came to him today, most of them came to say goodbye, and also, compared to the top power of the Xingyue Academy, this small Blackwood City is really not worth mentioning.

"Fortunately, if you go to the Xingyue Academy, you won't be free now, and I don't know when I will come back this time!" Fang Xiyue said.

"Then cultivate hard, and come back to cover me in the future!" Chu Qifan smiled, but there was an indescribable feeling in his heart, calculating the time, it has been five years since he was rescued by Liu Dafu in the rain, aside from the first year when he lost his memory and began to be pale as paper, it can be said that there will always be Fang Xiyue in the rest of the years, he can come out of the shadow of amnesia so quickly, and the relationship with this eccentric girl is not small, Fang Xiyue is a confidant and an audience for him, when he thinks of this departure and does not know when he will see him again, his heart is inevitably filled with a touch of loss.

"Well, I will!" Fang Xiyueyu clenched the teacup in her hand, raised her head to look at Chu Qifan, her eyes flashed, and she said, "However, we have known each other for four years, and at such a sad moment, don't you plan to send me some parting gifts?"

"That jar of wine is a gift, save enough for you to drink for a long time. ”

"You might as well keep the wine as a dowry...... Your Uncle Zhao and his niece should like it quite a bit!"

"Don't make a fuss, I haven't even been to Uncle Zhao's house!"

"I can't expect you to give me anything. Fang Xiyue suddenly smiled and said, "Then why don't you play the flute for me!"

Chu Qifan's eyes were hazy, and a flute figure appeared in his mind, and then he shook his head and said, "I haven't played it for a long time, and I don't have a flute on me." ”

"It's okay, I have!" Fang Xiyue took out a bamboo flute from her waist, handed it to Chu Qifan, and said with a smile: "Please, start your performance." ”

Chu Qifan took the bamboo flute, put it to his mouth, and the flute sounded and played, and its sound was curling, turning a hundred times and thousands of times, with three or two sorrows, as if he was singing goodbye.

Fang Xiyue held her cheeks with both hands, leaned on the table, with a light smile on the corner of her mouth, just looked at the young man in front of her, and listened silently.

In those days, she really liked to listen to the teenager play the flute, and now, she still is.

At the end of the song, Chu Qifan put down the bamboo flute in his hand, and a sense of sadness rose in his heart, four years have passed, and he still can't forget the figure of the flute under the night sky.

Chu Hongchen, who are you!

"What, what are you thinking about that Chu Hongchen again?" Fang Xiyue asked.

Chu Qifan came back to his senses coldly, and said a little leisurely: "Yes, as long as you play the flute, you will unconsciously think of him......"

"Alas, there are times when I wish I could become a martial artist too, so that I can work hard to improve and look for his traces in this world. Chu Qifan laughed at himself: "But I also know that I still exist in this world, which is already a great luck in itself." Don't ask for anything!"

Fang Xiyue didn't answer, just looked at him quietly.

Once upon a time, how I wished you were a warrior too, or that I was just a mortal.

"This, pay you back. Chu Qifan no longer sighed, and handed the bamboo flute in his hand to Fang Xiyue.

However, Fang Xiyue didn't stretch out her hand to take it back, but just smiled faintly and said, "This will be given to you, if you think of my old friend one day, then play the flute!"

"Thank you!" Chu Qifan did not refuse, thanked.

"I have to go. Fang Xiyue slowly got up and walked to the door of the box, but she stopped, her charming eyes flashed with tenderness, and she wanted to say something, but she was speechless for a long time.

"Take care. Chu Qifan took a sip of tea, and without waiting for Fang Xiyue to speak, he blessed with a smile.

"I will......"

The girl's shadow was gone, leaving only an ethereal voice and Chu Qifan who was still sitting in place.

From time to time, he looked at the bamboo flute left for him by the girl, and the smile on his face gradually faded.

A confidant, if it is wishful thinking to say that there is no sadness, he and her are not people of the same world after all, and they have intentions in their hearts but can only pretend to be without her

......

Under the silent night, to the east of Blackwood City, a river flowed quietly, and on the riverside, Chu Qifan looked at it lonely.

In the past, he liked to come to this shore the most, looking at the figure, listening to his flute, and it was here that he met the girl.

Just like the three words of Chu Hongchen itself, the figure had long disappeared into the vast red dust, and not long ago, the girl also left and embarked on her own path.

And is he destined to spend the rest of his life in this small Blackwood City?

Chu Qifan took out a light blue jade pendant from his arms, and the jade pendant was not complete, but only half a piece.

This half of the jade pendant has an extraordinary meaning to him, it is the only thing on his body that he had before he lost his memory, and he came to this world with him, and has accompanied him for more than five years.

He had always carried this jade pendant with him, although it was just a very ordinary jade pendant, but his intuition told him that this half of the jade pendant had some connection with the mystery of his life experience.

Holding the jade pendant tightly in his hand, Chu Qifan raised his head and looked up at the endless night sky, the stars in the sky twinkling, light and shadow intertwined, forming a galaxy painting, reflecting the deep night sky.

"These stars are like an individual, once they are confined to a certain position, they can no longer be separated, they can only accept the arrangement of fate and play their own role, and I, is this the same?" Four years ago, Chu Hongchen's departure made him eager to embark on the path of cultivation and become a martial artist. Now, Fang Xiyue's departure has even stimulated the desire in his heart.

His physical condition is very strange, although he is no different from ordinary martial artists, there is no problem with all the martial arts such as dantian muscles and veins, but he just can't attract the vitality of heaven and earth into his body, and he can't cultivate.

Probably related to that major injury, although the surface of the body has healed, there are still some unknown dark wounds.

Suddenly, Chu Qifan's eyes narrowed, and he saw that in the night sky, a ray of blue light flashed, like a meteor, falling down.

"I didn't expect to encounter a meteor!" This scene is not common, but he just smiled faintly, and had no intention of appreciating it, the so-called meteor is just a synonym for fleeting.

"Huh?" At this moment, he suddenly felt that the half of the jade pendant in his hand was much warmer than before: "It's an illusion!"

He doesn't know how many times he has observed this half of the jade pendant over the years, and he can be extremely sure that this is completely an ordinary jade pendant, if you want to say that it is luxurious, it is at most just some kind of symbol.

However, as he thought about it, the temperature of the jade pendant in his hand was constantly rising, and he soon realized that this was not an illusion.

Psychic?

This strange thought flashed through his mind, but his eyes stayed on the jade pendant in his hand, but he didn't realize that the blue light of the night space was looking in the direction of him.

The half of the jade pendant in Chu Qifan's hand became more and more hot, and there was a light blue light lingering on the originally dim surface, and he was even more suspicious than before, but he only felt that the blue light on the top of his head was flooding, and as soon as he wanted to raise his head, his figure was engulfed by the blue light, and in an instant, he felt that the whole person was like a fire, and his whole body was hot and uncomfortable.

......

In the early morning of the next day, Chu Qifan slowly opened his eyes, the clean sky met his eyes, and he suddenly got up and looked around.

"I fainted last night!" the cool morning breeze hit his face, blowing his hair and swaying.

Although it was early in the morning, it was still quiet, and there were no people, except for two or three fishermen wandering around the river in small boats and a few old men who were sitting and fishing.

A fishing veteran sitting not far from him glanced at Chu Qifan, who had woken up, without saying a word, and continued to fish. Looking at him, he obviously knew that Chu Qifan was lying here.

"En?" Chu Qifan, who had just gotten up over there, seemed to realize something, and touched himself to no avail, and rummaged back and forth on the surrounding ground, living out the image of an old man.

"Where's my jade pendant?" Chu Qifan secretly said that something was wrong, and then he looked at the old man who was fishing not far away, and walked over quickly.

"Senior, I wonder if you've ever seen half a jade pendant around here?"

The old man made a silent gesture to him, and then shook his head slowly.

Seeing this, Chu Qifan felt a little embarrassed in his heart, knowing that he had disturbed Lao Suo fishing, he bowed slightly to apologize, and slowly retreated.

It was impossible for me to be thrown into the river, and the place where I slept was still some distance from the edge of the river, it should have been my negligence, or someone else picked it up.

In this way, Chu Qifan searched around for a long time, but he still didn't find even the shadow of the jade pendant.

It seems that we can only wait for the fishermen to come ashore and slowly confirm......

"You don't have to look any further. ”

At this moment, an ethereal voice sounded in his ears, the source of the sound was very close and clear, but he did not notice anyone beside him except for the fishing man not far away.

"Is it an illusion?" Chu Qifan's face was strange, he didn't believe this explanation a little, how could he have such a clear illusion.

He looked around again, and there was still only the old fisherman.

It can't be the old-timer!

Chu Qifan shook his head, since there is nothing, then take it as an illusion!

......
