"Forgiveness? Why are you still here? Is the altar cleaned up? Shu Shan obviously didn't expect to see Shu Evil staying in the stone cave at this time, according to his former nature, after cleaning up the altar, he should have gone home a long time ago.

"Not yet, I'll take a break here." Forgiveness's expression quickly returned to coldness, and he sat up from his bed as if nothing had happened. His gaze crossed Shu Shan and landed on the mandarin duck on Chu Huai's back, "What's wrong with that woman?" ”

"Mandarin ducks, she is ...... because of seven"

"The mandarin duck girl just fell asleep because she was tired." Shu Shan moved to the side without a trace, blocking the scrutinizing gaze of Shu Evil at the mandarin duck.

"That's it?" Forgiveness and evil deviated to the side, but unexpectedly, forgiveness also followed his direction to the side.

"That's it."

"Alright, in that case, I'll go and clean up the altar first, brother, you'd better explain to me why this secret passage is in my cave when I get home."

"yes, got it."

Chu Huai quietly watched as the back of Shu Xie walked away around the curtain, and the footsteps finally disappeared into the cave.

"Master Shu, it's clear that Mandarin Duck will become like this because of the Seven Lives Gu, why do you want to hide it from him?"

"Lord Chu Gu, you don't know the character of forgiveness, in fact, from the beginning, he was very dissatisfied with the fact that Xiao Sheng wanted to give the Seven Lives Gu to you, if he now knows that the Seven Lives Gu is already on the Mandarin Duck Girl's body, maybe he will do something crazy."

"Brother Ling doesn't look like someone who would do that, right?"

"You should remember the incident not long ago when you spent a lot of money to buy the Mandarin Duck girl from the shopkeeper, right? Ever since we rescued Miss Mandarin Duck that time, he has been hostile to Miss Mandarin Duck for some reason. ”

"Probably because the mandarin duck made him lose a lot of money? But if that's the case, why is he dissatisfied with us? ”

"Maybe it's because Lord Chu Gu seems to be strong in martial arts, and it's not easy to get revenge, so you transferred all your hatred to the person concerned, the Mandarin Duck girl, right?"

Chu Huai couldn't help but nodded, "It sounds like there is some truth." ”

As the two spoke, they had already walked out of the cave, and when they were in the basement, they didn't think time was passing so fast, until they came out now, they found that the sky was already half dark, and behind the thin clouds that drifted by, bright stars visible to the naked eye were dotting the night sky, and the moon was hiding in which darkness.

The wind blew through the trees, and only the rustling of the leaves was heard, and the night after the festival was over, it was as silent as ever.

When Shu Shan walked through the altar with Chu Huai, he didn't see Shu Evil, and even the decorations on the altar remained the same as when he left.

"Where did forgiveness go? Why not here? ”

"Could it be that you're still on your way over?"

"This road that Xiaosheng brought you here should be the shortest way, and I wouldn't have taken any other path before." Shu Shan didn't plan to stay in the open space of the altar for long, and even if he thought about it, he couldn't understand what Shu Evil was thinking, "Leave him alone, let's go back quickly." ”

"Okay, it's still a little cool at night, don't let the mandarin ducks catch a cold."

Chu Huai followed Shu Shan closely, the sky was getting darker and darker, and the dead forest that could not shine a little light became more and more difficult to see the way forward, if it was far away, he would not even be able to see which way Shu Shan was taking, and finally got lost in this dead forest with the mandarin duck.

"Lord Chu Gu, this dry forest is very dark at night, you must follow Xiaosheng."

"This is natural, otherwise I am afraid that I will not be able to get out of here until dawn."

"You're laughing, how is this possible?" Shu Shanquan was joking when Chu Huai was joking to adjust the quiet atmosphere of the night.

Fortunately, the two of them did not walk in the dry woods for a long time, and there was already a light in front of Chu Huai's eyes, which was the light on the street in the distance, through the staggered branches.

The point of light expanded in a circle, and a familiar mansion appeared in front of the two of them.

"It's finally out." Chu Huai lifted the mandarin duck on her back up, lest she fall out because of her own carelessness.

"Lord Chu Gu, come in quickly!"

Shu Shan pushed open the door of the mansion, but happened to meet Elder Green's inquiring gaze: "Village master, why did you come in from outside?" The old man clearly remembers that you entered the study with the master of Chu Gu. ”

The Mandarin Duck girl was unconscious, and Xiao Sheng thought about it, but he didn't think about how to bring the Mandarin Duck girl out of the aisle that was only for one person to pass through. He walked through the dark passage in the basement that had not been used for a long time. ”

"Girl, what's wrong? How did you get unconscious? After a few days of getting along, the mandarin duck also became familiar with Elder Green, so when he saw the mandarin duck hanging weakly on Chu Huai's back, he couldn't help but worry.

"It's because of the influence of the Seven Lives Gu."

"Seven Life Gu? I didn't expect that the girl was so young, and she really had the courage to bear the pain of the Seven Lives Gu. Elder Green's expression turned to admiration, this was the second time he had seen someone who could withstand such pain after all the years he had been an elder in the Divine Village.

"The Seven Life Gu seemed to be a little different when it was on the Mandarin Duck girl's body, she didn't have any painful expression, as if she was directly recognized by it."

"Is there such a miraculous thing?"

"Elder Green, you can take the Chu Valley Lord and the Mandarin Duck girl to rest first."

"Got it, Lord."

What made Chu Huai strange was that Shu Shan did not walk into the mansion with them, but turned around and walked in the direction of the dead forest, he just wanted to call Shu Shan, but saw Elder Green shaking his head at him, "Lord Chu Gu, you better take the girl to rest quickly." ”

"But why did he ...... it?"

"The owner of the village naturally has his own things to do, so you don't have to worry about him first, it's not good to stand like this at the door all the time, come in quickly."

"That'...... Okay. ”

After listening to Elder Green's words, Chu Huai didn't ask again, walked up to the small building with the mandarin duck on his back, gently put her down on the bed, took the hot towel handed over by Elder Green, wiped her face, and then covered her with a quilt and quietly walked out of the door.

"Lord Chu Gu, you and the girl came to our village for the Seven Lives Gu, right?" Elder Green called out to Chu Huai, who was about to go back to his room.

"Yes." Chu Huai stopped his hand that was about to close the door.

"Now that you have obtained the Seven Life Gu, you are going to leave, right?"

"When the mandarin duck wakes up, I will take her back to the Central Plains."

"Is that so, the old man knows, after returning to the Central Plains, you have to take good care of the girl." With that, Elder Green stepped on the railing and jumped down from the second floor.

"It's nature." Chu Huai touched his head, he didn't particularly understand why Elder Green said this, isn't it a natural thing for the master to protect the apprentice?
