Why......

"Heh......"

The woman's empty eyes stared dimly at the mirror-like stream ahead.

A chuckle.

You've always been ...... So hateful, so stupid. You're just like that stubborn and stinky temper.

You guys...... It's always going to cause people endless trouble.

The dead are already dead, those toils and sorrows, what heart-wrenching thoughts, those ridiculous memories, and the fetters of that Raushzi...... There is no need to think about it anymore, and there is no need to be sad about it.

However, what about those who are alive?

The tears could no longer be stopped, drop by drop, and slowly fell into the stream in front of him.

The most painful thing is always the remaining living......

The dead are nothing more than dust to dust, and dust to dust.

And those poor creatures who still remain in the world are suffering.

I still have to deal with the rest, and the hardest thing to do for you nasty people who have left suddenly. Even after the formal ritual is over, there will still be troubles called "memories" and "bonds".

Tears gradually soaked the small copper plate clenched in the palm of his hand.

The Secret Land of the Hidden Capital......

A ray of light slowly revealed from the long, hollow eyes that had fallen off, but it was extinguished in an instant.

You've been dead, dead for so many years...... But why do I have to reappear again and again in the life that I have so hard to pretend to be nothing?

Again, again, it brought me back from my days of pretending to be free. Let me look for your figure that does not exist in the world again and again, and let me feel the pain of the heart floating in the clouds and suddenly falling into the abyss behind the loss of countless hopes in an instant.

That's what it is...... Is there a punishment for me?

The night is still long.

......

"Arrest?"

When Qin Lei heard these two words, his eyebrows raised.

After Xu Jiaoyi gradually calmed down, he continued to tell why this originally quiet and peaceful village had fallen into such a bleak situation step by step.

"Master?"

Seeing the slight change in Qin Lei's expression out of the corner of his eye, Ling Jundong asked softly.

"Hmm...... This trip seems to have some connection with this eccentric Wang family. Qin Lei frowned slightly, as if he was thinking about something.

Everyone rested for a night, and when the sky in the east gradually brightened up with a touch of fish belly white, Chu Nanhe gently climbed to the high eaves of the restaurant.

I saw that on the big eaves, there was already a gray-robed boy sitting.

The cold wind of the early morning gently ruffled his somewhat dry hair, and a trace of crystal could be faintly seen in a pair of apricot eyes.

Chu Nanhe didn't say anything, just sat down slowly beside the boy. Looking at the beautiful scenery in the distance, he sighed slightly.

"It's so pretty......"

Xu Xuan, who was beside him, moved his eyes when he heard the sound, but did not speak.

"What are your plans for the future?"

Chu Nanhe turned his head slightly and looked directly at the pair of tear-stained eyes. Asked softly.

The boy next to him was stunned for a moment, hesitated for a moment, and slowly shook his head.

The two fell silent.

The early spring wind gently brought a touch of warmth, and the cool morning breeze blew on the faces of the two.

Chu Nanhe suddenly spoke.

"Come with us. ”

“...... Are you taking pity on me?"

Xu Xuan wiped the tears on his face, looked at the tattered patch on his sleeve, and showed a trace of self-deprecation on his cold little face.

"I don't need to be pitied, never to. ”

The boy's voice overflowed between his lips and teeth with a bone-chilling indifference.

Chu Nanhe stared at the clouds in the distance and spoke softly.

"My master was also killed a month ago. The Linlan Pavilion also no longer exists. ”

There was a hint of hoarseness in the low murmur.

Xu Xuan was stunned when he heard this.

The little mouth opened, but did not speak.

"When I first started, I dreamed every day. ”

"I dreamed of those old days when Master was still there. ”

Chu Nanhe's somewhat bright eyes overflowed with a trace of bitterness.

"I don't know what it's meant to live or what else I can do. I practiced so hard that one day I could get the punishment that my master's tragic death deserved. But what if you get revenge?"

"Master can't come back either. ”

The boy sighed softly, and slowly rubbed into the wind that was blowing slowly, and gradually drifted away with the wind.

"Do you know what your emotional breakdown yesterday made me think of?"

Without waiting for Xu Xuan to answer, Chu Nanhe said to himself.

"It reminds me of myself. ”

"A month ago, I was in a state of confusion almost all day. I don't know what's the point of surviving. The family is dead, and the teacher is gone. ”

Xu Xuan avoided Chu Nanhe's eyes, lowered his eyes, and an inexplicable emotion flashed in his eyes.

"But yesterday, you made me suddenly understand. ”

Chu Nanhe looked at the scenery in the distance, and a faint light flickered in his eyes.

"I understood what it meant to live. I also understood the meaning of the last sentence that Master and I said. ”

"It turns out that what can support a person through his life, in addition to relatives, in addition to respecting teachers, there are also ......"

Chu Nanhe's originally dim eyes gradually overflowed with a faint but very flickering light.

"Xiao He—"

The originally somewhat depressed roof suddenly sounded the loud shouts of Liuyun and Ling Jundong.

“...... Companions. ”

The boy beside him sighed, and the words he spit out lightly were like a heavy piece of iron hitting Xu Xuanyi's heart, making him can't help but suffocate his heart.

Chu Nanhe's low voice was mixed with a hint of warmth, like the wind in March, and the coldness was mixed with a trace of intoxicating warmth.

As soon as Xu Xuan saw the boy who turned his head and smiled at him, although his eyes were filled with dripping crystals, the fine light that bloomed in his eyes was something he didn't have.

Behind him came the sound of footsteps kicking.

He has always been arrogant and straight-tempered, and when he was pampered in the past, he felt that his friends were the most troublesome. So when I was a child, my master and Chu Nanhe's master occasionally traveled together, and wherever they went, Chu Nanhe was the easiest to make friends, and he Xu Jiayi was always the one who didn't fit in.

As soon as Liuyun and Ling Jundong climbed onto the roof, they were instantly shocked by the beautiful scenery in the distance. Looking at Chu Nanhe, who was pulled up by Liuyun, Xu Xuan could see the concern in Liuyun's eyes when he looked at Chu Nanhe.

I don't know why, Xu Xuanyi suddenly envied Chu Nanhe a little at that moment.

"What's wrong with me...... Didn't you hate this troublesome relationship with your friends the most before......"

Rubbing his eyes indiscriminately, Xu Xuan muttered.

Seeing that the three of them were about to walk away, Xu Xuan had a strange emotion in his eyes.

Then he pouted, not intending to leave the roof where he had been sitting for the night.
