Chapter 24: Reluctance

Shadow Gate

Burning Sword Peak

"Thirteen, don't sneak out to play today, you obediently practice on the Burning Sword Peak."

"All right, uncle."

She deliberately accentuated the word uncle, and Ran Thirteen always had a thousand ways to make him angry.

"Uncle, why don't we have a game today, and whoever wins will listen to whomever wins."

"You're lost, Thirteen."

Sima Yuchen smiled, threw the folding fan in his hand aside, and picked up his sword casually.

"I have the true inheritance of the master. Don't underestimate you, Uncle Sima. ”

The Bixiao Sword was used in her hand, and it was not inferior to Mo Fang back then. Her moves were sharp and her speed was also fast, gradually approaching Sima Yuchen.

He just held the sword and smiled, seeing that her swordsmanship was effective, he couldn't help but be proud in his heart, and he made a block, thunderous.

"Pong." With a bang, the hand-to-hand combat. He took every move from her, never attacked, all defensive. He was reluctant to hurt the little girl opposite, so let her get better.

"Uncle, you let me again."

"I don't want to compete with you anymore."

She pouted, didn't look at him, and made a gesture to go down the mountain.

"I'm not going to let you do it."

He opened his mouth to explain in a bit of a panic.

"You are."

She was angry, picked up the teacup on the side and drank tea angrily, but her heart was already happy, hahaha, Sima Yuchen is a big fool.

"Then I...... I'm not ......"

"Hmph, I can't say anything. I'm leaving. ”

…… He looked at her distant back and sighed.

"Reluctantly."

How could I be willing to let you lose.

Xunnan Island

"Brother Qianyu, the book says that Xunnan Island is the most beautiful island in the sky and the sea, but it doesn't seem to be the case today."

Jiu Huaxi stood in the gray area that had been struck by the skylightning, and the weeds were burned to ashes. She felt a familiar feeling for no reason, and looked up to see the man next to the sun shadow holding his shoulder, a huge silver thunder struck his body, he was bloody, but he didn't give up at all, as if there was some faith to support, that man was very good-looking, and his eyes were filled with heaven and earth, sun, moon and nine stars.

When she looked back, the shadow was gone, and nothing had just happened.

"Brother Qianyu, is there any story here?"

"Yes, I also want to know, who took the treasure snake spirit fruit of this town island."

"What is the Snake Spirit Fruit?"

"The snake spirit fruit is the best healing herb on the entire road, especially if you are injured after fighting with the dragon clan, using the snake spirit fruit to remove the dragon tooth poison is the most effective."

"At what cost?"

"Ninety-nine tribulations of heavenly thunder, falling in turn, will inevitably open the skin and flesh. But I don't know what kind of person it was, who killed the mother snake and removed the whole fruit tree. ”

She and he stood silently, looking at everything that had lost its life and couldn't help but feel a little regretful.

"This used to be the most beautiful island on the mainland, with the most beautiful clouds, the most beautiful sunlight, the most visible stars, and the clearest water. But now they're all gone. I've let you down, Xi'er. ”

"It's okay, we can go to more beautiful places."

He looked at her, and she looked at him.

"What kind of flowers does Xi'er like?"

"Probably, peony."

"Then how about we go to Yongzhou? It is the most beautiful place on the mainland where flowers bloom. ”

"I have also heard that the book says that apricot blossoms and beauty, and the water in the pond are the two most beautiful and the most painful."

"yes."

He looked into the distance leisurely, and thought of the apricot blossom forest on Luchen Peak in Moyingmen that year, the girl drinking strong wine in the apricot blossom forest, the girl who jumped off the heart-splitting pool, and the cold that eroded her bones.

"Xi'er, you rest here today, I have some things, and I can rush back from the Immortal Palace tomorrow."

"Good. I'll wait for you. ”

Looking at his flying back, but I don't know where the desolation in the man's eyes comes from, I don't know when, there is a fog in his eyes, a fog that she has never approached and is cold and alienated. She has never seen through him, even if they have traveled through the mountains and rivers together over the years, he has never mentioned a word of the past.
