The first thing I felt was that something was wrong was the moment Ji Yuehua stepped into Nangong Longfei's dojo. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

"Teacher Long Fei, I'm back, are you there?"

Nangong Longfei lived alone in the dojo, which was built in a remote alley, and the atmosphere here was particularly peaceful...... There's no way around it. In Ji Yuehua's memory, in the past, this was like this.

In a huge yard, there are trees, stones, rockeries, small ponds, everything is as always. However, it is not known why...... At the moment of stepping into the main entrance, an ominous feeling suddenly flashed in Ji Yuehua's heart.

If you want to describe it, it is like an electric shock, it makes no sense, and it comes from a whim. The sound of the heartbeat suddenly became faster.

"Teacher Long Fei, are you there?"

It's a peaceful place, and the feeling that something is different is, perhaps, just an illusion.

forcibly comforted himself in his heart, and after seeing that he had called again, he didn't get a response, thinking that Nangong Longfei might be asleep, Ji Yuehua immediately called again, this time, deliberately opened his throat and called.

“......”

However, after waiting for a while, Ji Yuehua still didn't get an answer.

Now, what was originally just a kind of nonsense like a sixth sense has become believable.

Although Nangong Longfei's dojo is much larger than the wooden house where Ji Yuehua lived in the past, it is not really very large-scale, and it is only about half the size of a normal middle-class family's house.

The call that was torn out of his throat could not be heard in this range. Moreover, Nangong Longfei is another generation of grandmasters, who has been on the battlefield for decades, and has been in battle for a long time...... Under normal circumstances, even if you fall asleep, you will wake up immediately if there is anything unusual nearby...... If you heard his call, it would never have been possible not to respond in any way.

"Teacher Long Fei?"

It turned out that the sense of foreboding spread in Ji Yuehua's heart at great speed.

Suddenly, I remembered that when I set off to the sea to find the Divine Crystal Crystal, I hadn't received a reply from Nangong Longfei for half a month, and before that, Nangong Longfei's reply speed had also slowed down significantly. At that time, I didn't pay much attention to the first mission that followed...... Looking back now, it was like thunder, which instantly scared Ji Yuehua's face.

At this moment, Ji Yuehua could no longer wait calmly at the gate.

"Impossible ......"

The possibilities that come to mind are all worst-case scenarios.

Even if you want to lie to yourself, "These must be misunderstandings!", "How can that teacher Long Fei, who has made countless feats and is known as a myth, have something to do?", but the more he thought about it, the more bad rumors about Nangong Long Fei appeared in Ji Yuehua's heart.

"After Old Man Long Fei retired, he didn't tell us where he went. The only people who knew where he was going were Marshal Dongfang and Old Man Zuo Youxin...... At such an old age, I still have to be ...... back then Cough! Anyway, I was relieved to know that he was still well. ”

On the same day, when he met Xue Hongchen for the first time, Xue Hongchen coughed a few times in the middle of speaking, ending the topic. At that time, because Ji Yuehua's mind was full of nervousness about the first duty, he didn't pay attention to it. Afterwards, because no one mentioned it, and the new life was too compact, indulging in the goals that had to be completed one after another, although Ji Yuehua remembered this matter, she didn't particularly recall it.

At this time, he clearly remembered the conversation with Xue Hongchen when he first met, and he couldn't help but hate that his memory ability was obviously only half inferior to Yakumo Zi and the others, but he didn't think about it once in the whole two years.

"Teacher Long Fei? Teacher Long Fei!"

When they first met, Xue Hongchen only said most of the words, although he didn't pay attention to it at the time, but ...... In fact, it is not difficult to deduce the original meaning.

When Nangong Longfei was still in the position of division commander in the 13th Division of the Military Department, he had received "what...... Considering that Nangong Longfei is a strong-willed, indomitable, and responsible person, it is impossible for him to leave Dongfang Canglong and Zuo Youxin, two old partners, to continue to struggle in the military department, while he returns to his hometown to enjoy peace with peace of mind. This "what" can only be an "injury", it cannot be a "mental blow" or something.

For Nangong Longfei to have the idea of retiring, this "injury" must be very serious, although the wound may have healed, the damage to him still remains in the body, and it is getting worse day by day...... It is only possible that this will make Nangong Longfei, who has a strong bond with Dongfang Canglong, have to leave behind his two old friends and go into hiding...... No, I want to go deeper, maybe it was Zuo Youxin and the others who persuaded Nangong Longfei to retire in the first place, for the sake of Nangong Longfei's body!

Thinking like this, after Xue Hongchen and Yue Qing's two division commanders heard him say that Nangong Longfei was very energetic, their reassuring expressions became reasonable...... That's not the care of the juniors for the old-timers, but the confirmation of the survival of the old-timers who have taken care of them! They already knew the fact that Nangong Longfei was seriously injured and had died soon!!

"Teacher Long Fei!!!"

During the time when he was practicing with Nangong Longfei, Nangong Longfei had actually hinted more than once that his body was not as good as before...... Why, he didn't think that his teacher's time was numbered?

You can't wait even a moment, it's too slow to slow even a second.

With strong self-blame and remorse for herself, Ji Yuehua hurriedly ran through the path of the courtyard and the corridor of the dojo, and rushed towards the hut where Nangong Longfei lived. At this moment, he has already taken out the fastest speed in his life, and in the blink of an eye, he has come to the door of the dojo!

Seeing that there were only dozens of steps left from the hut where Nangong Longfei lived......

But.

It was also at this moment that the corner of his eye swept over something in the courtyard directly opposite the dojo, and Ji Yuehua suddenly stopped.

Thinking paused, and the blood in his whole body seemed to cool down at this moment. Immediately, the strength of his body was suddenly drained, and Ji Yuehua involuntarily knelt on the ground, as if she had seen something unbelievable, a pair of eyes were opened to the limit, and after her mouth opened, she could no longer close.

Directly opposite the ashram, on the left side of the courtyard, next to the small pond, in a remote corner, a mound of earth was inserted with a simple tombstone, which reads like this......

"My Friend - Former Commander of the Fifth Division of the Military Department - The Tomb of Nangong Longfei"

"Dongfang Canglong, Zuo Youxin, Okazaki Yumemi, together with all the members of the 13th Division of the Military Department, respectfully."
