Chapter 107: The Book of Ashes

Chapter 107: The Book of Ashes

Looking at the book that had accompanied her for two years was sprinkled in front of her eyes like this, a thousand words were silent tears, her lips were lightly opened, but she couldn't spit out half a sentence, at this moment, she wanted to kill this damn guy in front of her, she glared at this person, just met for the first time, why do you want to do this to me?

"Distressed? If I'm not mistaken, this book is important to you! Who gave it to you? ”

The mysterious man walked slowly towards Qianyu, and asked aggressively, Qianyu sitting on the ground had hazy teary eyes, and she didn't want to listen to what he said, and her eyes were still floating in front of the person's movement of waving the book just now, and her frustrated appearance was completely angry with the mysterious man.

The angry mysterious man stepped forward and grabbed Qianyu's neck, lifted her up with one hand, and spoke mightily, as if he wanted to know something from Qianyu's mouth, but he didn't quite believe what Qianyu said.

Qianyu let him pinch herself, she didn't say a word, she held her breath in her mouth, and looked down at the man's eyes, she always thought that the mysterious person in front of her was Gongsun Yuting, if it was someone else, why was she so interested in her own affairs? It's still a questioning tone.

It's a pity, these are a pair of unfamiliar eyes, as deep as a pool, exuding a fear that Qianyu has never seen before, she slowly looked away, closed her eyes and stopped looking at him.

"It's good if it's not my father, at least Qianyu won't hate you" Qianyu, whose face was flushed, shed tears, comforting himself a little in his heart, feeling that the air was getting less and less, and breathing was becoming more and more difficult.

Just when she thought she would be strangled to death by this person, her slender body was put down, just now she felt that death was very close to her, she lay on the ground and breathed heavily, at this moment, she felt that the cold air was very fresh.

"You want to die, it's still very early, what you desire in your heart, what you care about in your heart, doesn't it matter?"

The mysterious man raised Qianyu's chin and looked at her eyes very seriously, what he said made Qianyu feel uplifted, the person in front of him seemed to see through his heart, he knew what he wanted in his heart.

"This person is dangerous...... Qianyu was forced to look up at the man, she was afraid of this person, those eyes were even more terrifying, and she seemed to have nothing to hide in front of him.

"Don't you think that you can protect yourself and the people around you with the martial arts in that book alone? You're just whimsical."

The man slowly kneaded Qianyu's chin, his veiled face almost touched Qianyu's face, he approached her unhurriedly, and looked at Qianyu's stunned eyes sternly.

His hand swiped in the air, only to see that he was holding the book that had just turned to ashes in his hand, he gently shook the book in his hand, deliberately shaking in Qianyu, Qianyu stretched out his trembling hand and wanted to grab it, but was blocked by the man.

"If you think the martial arts in that book are really what you want, take the book."

The mysterious man dropped the book in his hand, stood up, and turned his back to Qianyu, the black shadow blocked Qianyu's whole person, and he couldn't see what Qianyu's expression was.

Qianyu slowly got up from the ground, looked at the book on the ground, and then looked up at him, there was no choice, what was the desire in his heart? Father's love? What are you worried about? The queen mother's thoughtfulness or Yan Feng's imminent departure?

"I have the world's unparalleled peerless martial arts and light skills as light as a swallow, if you worship me as a teacher, I will teach you everything"

The mysterious man looked back at Qianyu again, Qianyu's hand stretched out to take the book stopped, she raised her head and stared at him in disbelief, her eyes mixed with a complicated expression.

"Don't want to?" The mysterious man rarely has some smiles, you must know that the martial arts in his hands are extinct, he has never accepted apprentices since he came out of the rivers and lakes, and it is his blessing to look at him today, if it weren't for his talent, his bones are amazing, he will not stay in this kind of place for half a moment.

Qianyu withdrew her hand that was stretched out to the book, she chose to give up the book, and as soon as her hand was withdrawn, the book on the ground scattered with the wind, as if it was just a phantom just now, and the mysterious man nodded with satisfaction.

"Although it is my request, it is also conditional to be my apprentice, as long as my requirements are met, just open your mouth if you want to learn anything!" The mysterious man smiled through the veil and winked meaningfully at Qianyu.

Qianyu: What conditions?

Qianyu was a little suspicious that she had read it wrong, this person actually ...... Laughed?

Mystery: Don't worry, since I have chosen you, I will stay here for the time being to observe you until I am satisfied.

Qianyu: Deal!

Mystery Man: It's good to be so happy at such a young age!

Qianyu: Then how am I going to find you?

Mystery Man: Shhh...... You don't have to look for me, I'll look for you, remember, the test has just begun, and I must be satisfied.

Qianyu: If you fail the test, will you leave?

Mystery Man: That's nature, didn't you say that too? The palace is important, and I can't stay here for long.

Qianyu: That...... Can you do me a favor?

Mystery Man: Hey? It's strange, let me help you before you officially apprentice, if you worship in the future, then don't let me run errands for you?

Thousand Words: I ...... Qianyu doesn't dare, if Qianyu can worship Daxia as a teacher, he must work hard to practice martial arts, and he will never disobey the master.

Mystery Man: Yo he...... This little mouth is quite good at talking, so let's talk about it! How can you ask me to help?

Thousand Words: I ...... I want to ask Daxia to help me go to Shui Weixuan, which is located in the western position, to help me see how the owner there is injured.

Mystery Man: Someone you know?

The mysterious man looked at Qianyu curiously and then looked at the direction of the west, this distance is not short, how could he know the people over there as a child? Besides, the palace is so lively tonight, I'm afraid it's not convenient to find someone.

Qianyu: Well, I know, she treats me very well, I heard that she was injured yesterday, so I want to know how she is now.

Mystery Man: In that case, I'll take a look at it late at night, okay?

Qianyu: Thank you, if you need help in the future, Qianyu will go all out.

Mystery Man: It's a trivial matter, you don't have to be so polite, besides, you are a little child, what can you help me?

The mysterious man couldn't help laughing when he heard Qianyu swear like this, and patted her shoulder with satisfaction.

Qianyu: Hmm......

Qianyu scratched her head embarrassedly, she also knew that she couldn't help much, but this was her true words.

Mystery: Alright, I still have something to do, so be careful, I don't want to collect your body before you apprentice.

Qianyu: Well, hero, please go slowly.

Qianyu respectfully made a salute, and when she raised her head, the mysterious man was gone, and he didn't even make the slightest sound of leaving.

The silence of the night returned to the courtyard, and Qianyu stood in the night wind, staring at the lights in the distance, as if she could see the characters over there, and she was fascinated and satisfied.

This is the only time Qianyu has lived alone since she can remember, and anyone can see that she is only a five-year-old child, and the palace ladies of Yuchu Palace arrange for her to do a bunch of unfinished things every day, and she has to wash a lot of things when she gets up early, and they have picked them, big and long sheets and quilt covers, thick and difficult to wash winter clothes, washed down in the morning, and her fingers are red from cold.

Since she entered the Yuchu Palace, she has never seen Gongsun Yuting, I don't know for what reason, those palace ladies don't like her, and there is no one around who can help her, and her hands can only endure the pain when she is frostbitten, and she doesn't even have chilblain medicine.

At night, Qianyu was arranged to go to the imperial kitchen to wash dishes and wash basins, she squatted in the courtyard of the imperial kitchen and washed and brushed silently, the surrounding palace lights became fewer and fewer, the hour was not early, the night dew was heavy, and Qianyu shrunk her slender little body.

She looked left and right, and found that there was no one in the yard, put down the bowl in her hand, and took it out of the cold water with both hands, the red and swollen ten fingers were like turnips, and she carefully wiped her fingers with the clothes on her body, even if the tears of pain were rolling in her eyes, she did not say anything.

"It would be nice if Doctor Hui Chu was here, she has good chilblain medicine there, and this level will definitely be cured soon!" Qianyu gently blew her fingers, and the hot air from her small mouth made her little hands feel more comfortable, so she retracted her hands into the warm sleeves, and her frostbitten fingers were hot and itchy. I want to catch it but I can't.

"Yo...... If you don't learn well at a young age, you learn to be lazy! Suddenly, a difficult word came from behind Qianyu, elusive, scared Qianyu trembling, she looked back at the person, it turned out to be the sister who often "took care" of herself on weekdays, everyone had already slept, why did she still come out to wander?

Qianyu hurriedly stretched out her hand from her sleeve, and washed the bowls and basins in the water again, but that Gong'e didn't seem to want to let her go, and dragged a bucket of water directly from the side.

"Isn't it cold?" That Gong'e's hideous face suddenly enlarged in front of Qianyu's eyes, and the movements of Qianyu's hand stopped, looking at her in confusion, with her usual attitude towards herself, it was wrong for her to shake her head and nod.

"Then make you cooler" As soon as Gong'e's words fell, the cold water poured down from Qianyu's head, she carried the bucket and slowly poured the water on Qianyu's head, and for a moment, Qianyu felt that her whole person seemed to be in an ice cellar, the coldness she felt from her heart, and the coldness of disappointment with people's hearts.

She hugged herself tightly with a pair of slender arms, letting the cold water pour down on her body, neither resisting nor squeaking, she hugged herself tightly, and strongly suppressed the anger in her heart.

She couldn't be angry, she had no backers in this palace except the queen mother, and besides, the mysterious man had said that he would observe himself, maybe he was watching him from a corner now! So, you must endure it!

"Yo...... An adult bullying a child, is this the kind wind of your Chu country? ”

In the darkness, footsteps creaked, and the childish voice said a mocking word to them, and Qianyu opened her eyes and saw the boy in white.
