By the afternoon, Charlotte had already returned to her cabin, rummaging through the cabinets and putting all the valuables in her bag. He turned his head to look at the two guards standing in front of the hut door, looking impatiently at the scenery outside the door.

He sighed silently, it seemed that there was not much time to pack up, and it would be much easier if Aunt Li was there at this time. But it's a pity that at this moment, both the disciples and the elders of Kong Shangfu deliberately kept a distance from Xia Luo, as if to prevent being implicated.

And Aunt Li was also transferred out of nowhere.

While packing his luggage and thinking about where he should go next, Charlotte took out the stolen dark book from under the bed, and when he inadvertently picked it up, a page caught in the book suddenly fell to the ground.

Charlotte glanced at it out of the corner of her eye, her pupils narrowed instantly, and she suddenly picked it up from the ground and put it in her arms. The two guards heard the movement in the room and turned to look at Charlotte in the room with confused eyes.

He grinned and touched his head, "Ah, just dropped something." ”

"Hmph, the elder has an order, you hurry up and clean up!" After saying that, the two guards glanced at each other, then turned their heads and continued to look at the scenery outside the door.

Exhaling and wiping the cold sweat from her head, Charlotte put away the pages and dark books in her arms, and continued to pack her luggage in a hurry.

......

Charlotte didn't have much to pack, just simple clothes and money, and she didn't even have time to bring dry food. He couldn't help but think that if he went to the cafeteria now, he didn't know if anyone would be willing to give him some dry food, so that Charlotte would not worry about food. But he thought about it again, I was afraid that he was also asking for bitterness in the past, so he shook his head and had no choice but to give up.

Soon after, he packed up his light bag, stabbed his broken sword at his waist, greeted the two guards, and walked out of the hut where he had lived for many years. 'Accompanied' by two guards, he walked slowly in the direction of the gate of Kongshang Mansion.

He passed by a nondescript wooden house, where he first studied in Confucius, and where he first spoke the lingua franca.

Passing by the book attic and the lake, the breeze gently stirred the lotus leaves in the lake, that was the first time he selected the 'flowing clouds' from the book attic, and it was also the first time in his life that he stole and the first time Confucius chose him as the candidate for the 'Five Elements Reincarnation Decision', but at the same time, I am afraid that it was also the last time to talk to Senior Sister Mu Xian carefree.

Walking past the martial arts arena, he casually glanced at the stage, where the young disciples were shouting and practicing martial arts hard. seems to have seen himself and the four fools back then. He smiled inadvertently, at that time, the four fools still listened to him very much, and they also caused a lot of trouble, in the mouth of the elders, they were the existence of the Little Five Heavenly Kings of Confucius Mansion, and anyone who heard that he was going to teach Xia Luo and the elders of the four fools couldn't help but feel a headache.

There are many, many familiar places, scenes worth remembering.

In this strange land, Charlotte has been living here for seven or eight years before she knows it. In the past, he couldn't help but think that if he settled down here, mixed up with the position of an elder, and took a foreign wife, his life would be considered complete. He does not seek high or low, but only seeks happiness, and as a member of the Confucian Mansion, he will live here forever until he is buried in the earth.

But it's a pity that providence makes people.

"Hey, don't look at it. Let's go. One of the guards urged impatiently.

Charlotte was walking towards the gate of Kongshangfu, but was pulled back to reality by the shouts of the guards. He smiled slightly, clenched his fists with one hand, and whispered to the two guards who were standing at the gate and were driving Xia Luo away: "Then the two eldest brothers, the younger brother will say goodbye." ”

He tightened his hooded cloak and turned to walk towards the mountains in the distance. Xia Luo did not alarm the other disciples and left the Confucian Mansion quietly, just as he had left his alma mater decades ago.

When the two guards watched Charlotte's figure disappear into the distance, they still couldn't understand why Charlotte saluted the two of them after pondering for a long time, and when they came to their senses, Charlotte had already left. The two looked at each other, shrugged their shoulders in confusion, and walked back inside the gate, returning to their guard positions.

......

The streams in this area are connected to the mountains, flowing from high to low. The pleasant sound of the stream is surprisingly refreshing, and it blends with the cheerful birdsong of the forest, like a peaceful performance of nature.

Charlotte stood quietly in the middle of the dirt road, but was not attracted by the peaceful scenery in front of her. He lifted the hood that almost covered his entire face, and looked at the four figures not far away.

And the four figures stood silently in a row, blocking Charlotte's path.

After a long time, Charlotte finally spoke, "I don't know what the four of you are doing?"

I saw the bald man come out and shout to Xia Luo, "Big brother, why did you leave Kongshang Mansion without making a sound?!!Do you know how worried we are about you?!" The familiar deafening sound resounded through the forest, startling many birds.

"If I don't leave Kongshang Mansion, where can I go?" Charlotte asked with a smile.

Yashuang, who was standing on the side, stood up anxiously, her eyes were already moist, and she hurriedly said to Xia Luo, "But Brother Xia Luo, the murderer who intended to kill Wuma Guanyu was definitely not you, so are you too eager to make up your mind? In this case, you don't have to leave Kong Shangfu so early, you can wait..."

"No, that's true. He interrupted softly, "Half of the Longdu Mansion has become a ruin, and countless innocent disciples have been involved in it, and I don't know how many people have been killed or wounded, let alone how many people will survive." ”

"Do you want to see the evidence? ”

Charlotte lifted her cloak and pulled some of the bandages on her chest slightly. With a thud, he felt a burning sting as the bandage detached from his chest. He gritted his teeth and endured the pain, cold sweat running down his forehead, and when the last bandage was pulled open by Charlotte, the four of them couldn't help but exclaim.

I saw that Charlotte's chest was deeply branded with a ring mark, and a faint golden-red light surrounded the circle, and the whole circle seemed to be scorched, scorched black, and I couldn't bear to look at it directly.

"You see, the 'Ring of the Five Elements' has become like this, and you can guess what has happened. Charlotte Ninja felt the pain and forced a smile.

"What... How is it possible" Yashuang covered her mouth in surprise, tears gradually flowing.

He took a deep breath and quickly tightened the bandage on his chest. An icy chill penetrated the bandage into Charlotte's skin, instantly suppressing the painful burning sensation.

"But big brother, I think it's better to talk to Confucius again, maybe there is a better solution?" said to Xia Luo in a heavy voice. ”

"Third brother Qinglin is right, although I didn't come up with a better way, I still feel that I was too impulsive to leave rashly. Gangxing nodded.

"If there was any other way, I would have done it a long time ago. Xia Luo exhaled softly, "Not only did I have to prevent the Longdu Mansion from directly waging war against the Confucian Mansion, but also to protect Senior Sister Mu Xian from being assassinated, so I decided to leave the Confucian Mansion. ”

"As long as I am still in the Confucian Mansion, the Longdu Mansion will not hesitate to start a war, even if I commit suicide to apologize to stop the war, in the future, they will continue to send assassins to try to assassinate Senior Sister Mu Xian, purely for their so-called honor and to save the world. ”

"But because I'm still alive, it's proof of the shame of the Longdu Mansion. ”

"As long as I am alive, the Longdu Mansion, which cannot wash away the humiliation, will do everything in its power to claim my life at all costs. Their eyes will always be fixed on me, and until the moment of my death, they will not send any assassins into the Kongshang Mansion, and they will not be able to care about saving the people. ”

"Because they will use all their methods and connections, and send all the strong men, just to erase me from this world. ”

"It's what they call 'dragon's pride,' but it seems to me to be nothing more than hypocritical vanity. Calling themselves dragons, they can't get rid of the shackles of 'humanity', should it be said that they are ridiculous or pathetic?"

"That's the solution I came up with. ”

"So, please get out of the way. ”

"Also, please respect me and ... The decision made by Confucius. Charlotte's hand was already on the hilt of the sword.
