readx;? Tonight is destined to be sleepless, and in an ordinary and simple courtyard in the mountains behind the Holy Soul Academy, it is now unusually lively. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

Lu Jun, Lu Wencai, and Luo Xiu were like entertaining distinguished guests from afar, excitedly and eagerly pulling Lu Yifan and his party into the room, and then the table full of wine and food that they originally regarded as tasteless became the best way for them to pick up the wind and wash the dust for Lu Yifan and his party. Under the backdrop of the tossing people, everyone saluted each other less than three glasses of spirits, and Liu Sandao and Lu Jun, who were still alive, became good brothers who hooked their shoulders and drank happily after a while, and the strangeness and hesitation that still existed before were thrown out of the clouds by everyone in an instant.

It is worth mentioning that the candles in the room tonight are unusually bright. You must know that on weekdays, Lu Jun and the three of them have no door and no faction to rely on in the academy, and they have the great enemy of Qingmen eyeing them, money, gold and silver cannot play their original role in the academy at all, and all the students in the academy must not leave the academy for half a step, so all their sources of life can only rely on their own strength to fight, if they want to eat meat, they have to go to the back mountains to hunt by themselves, and if they want to drink water, they have to go to the river to pick them by themselves, even if they want to change the necessities of life such as clothes and bedding, they have to go to the faction to find tutors who can freely enter and exit the academy to apply, as for whether the tutor will give you this face, it is not certain。 Even if you give face to help you buy it outside the academy, the price charged is terrible high, so there is only one best way to get all the materials in the academy, and that is to find a way to borrow it, and if you can't borrow it, grab it. Although the method is somewhat despised, it is undoubtedly a good choice to hone students in an environment of survival of the fittest, and whether it is borrowing or grabbing, it depends on real skills. Asking someone to borrow something is your prestige and status in the academy, and grabbing it is much more direct, relying on your fists. And whether it is prestige or fist, for the current Lu Jun and the three of them, they are undoubtedly out of reach, so the life of the three of them this year is really quite difficult.

Whether it is food, drink or use, most of them come from the Tang Sect, and if the three of them rely on their own skills to fight with other forces, it will be too difficult. But even if someone helps, it doesn't mean that they can waste it at will, because the Tang Sect itself has some difficulties in protecting itself during this year, how can it help them as unlimitedly as last year? And among these objects, candles, which seem to be inconspicuous little things, have also become an extremely important item for Lu Jun and the three of them.

In this year, they have experienced too many dark nights, so on weekdays, for the candles brought from the Tang Gate, they generally save money, and they don't light them if they can, and even in the summer, they would rather open the door and borrow the moonlight outside to illuminate the house, rather than waste these hard-won candles.

And when Lu Yifan returned today, Lu Wencai, who was the most stingy on weekdays, couldn't take care of it so much tonight, and actually lit up all the dozen or so candles that the three of them had worked hard to save for more than a month, and the room was brightly lit for a while, and the atmosphere seemed to become more and more high.

Lu Wencai sat next to Lu Yifan, and not long after he was on the table, he drank several large bowls of spirits like crazy, and he was already drunk and hazy at the moment, and his mouth, which could not be closed, was like the flooding of the Yellow River at the moment, gushing endlessly and out of control.

"Yifan...... Yifan ......" Lu Wencai staggered to hold the wine bowl in his hand, and held Lu Yifan's shoulder with drunken eyes, the expression on his face was crying and laughing, looking quite funny, "Do you know how aggrieved the three of us have been in this year? Do you know how aggrieved the three of us have been? Yifan, let me tell you......"

"After doing Wencai, start talking this kind of nonsense again!" Hearing that Lu Wencai was about to start crying and wiping away tears, Lu Jun, who was toasting each other with Ji Yuan and Xie Yun on the side, couldn't help but put down the wine glass in his hand, and scolded angrily with a dissatisfied face, "A big man, crying and crying as a whole, has simply lost the face of our Lu family!"

"Wencai, shouldn't you be happy to see us, why do you always have a sad face?" Ji Yuan looked at Lu Wencai with a smile and teased softly, "Didn't you cry with joy when you saw us?"

"Haha...... Brother Ji Yuan, this year, Wen Cai has been crying bitterly in front of outsiders!" Luo Xiu, who was flushed with alcohol, said with a smile while gnawing on chicken legs, "You have only been gone for a few months, and he still cried bitterly in front of the master of Han City, you don't know that Brother Lu Jun and I really hated to find a crack in the ground to get into......"

"It's nothing!" Lu Jun nodded and answered, "Just two months ago, when the master of Tang Ruoxi's sect came here, this kid Wencai actually cried a handful of snot and tears in front of a woman, as if he had been wronged, he really threw people home......"

"Lu Jun, you are talking nonsense!" As soon as the drunk and hazy Lu Wencai heard Lu Jun's words, he immediately became anxious, and argued loudly with a wine bowl in his throat, "What is to be ashamed of? Besides, Yifan is our own person, what is the matter with me crying in front of Yifan today? Yifan doesn't know that my feelings have always been so rich......

"Wencai, I said you can't be like a man......"

"Huh!" Before Lu Jun could open his mouth to formally teach Lu Wencai, Liu Sandao, who was sitting cross-legged, interrupted him with a smile, and then showed a look of interest, squinting at Lu Wencai with smiling eyes, "Since Wencai, you are so aggrieved, then why don't you tell me all the grievances and grievances! Is someone bullying you? Tell me, I'll help you get angry! Hehe......"

"Look at it, Lu Jun, Luo Xiu, you two take a good look, this is what a good brother should say......" Lu Wencai suddenly had a feeling of hating Liu Sandao, and then drank all the liquor in the bowl, and then hugged Lu Yifan's shoulder, and began his complaint without a word, although Lu Yifan and the others also wanted to listen to what he wanted to say, but listening to it, Lu Wencai's mouth was like a piece of cotton, muttering indistinctly, no one could understand what he was thinking, probably some complaints about the cold world in Qingmen and the academy and the bitterness of his own life.

"Wencai, it seems that you are drunk!" Lu Yifan said with a smile.

"I'm not drunk! I'm just happy......" Lu Wencai stood up suddenly holding the wine jar, swaying and staggering, actually wanting to pour wine for the people present, "I'm just happy...... I'm happy that you're back...... You are my brothers...... My family...... In the future, whoever dares to say that the three of us are helpless will be beaten...... Although my ability Lu Wencai is not high, I have many good brothers, and my good brothers are more powerful than the other, and each is more capable than the other...... Ha ha...... Yifan, are you back...... I'm so happy...... I'm really, really, really happy...... We're together again, and that's how we have a family......"

Lu Wencai's words were only halfway through, but his body was not standing firmly, he stumbled under his feet, and the wine jar in his arms fell to the ground all of a sudden, and he fell apart immediately, and the aroma of wine instantly diffused throughout the room. And Lu Wencai threw himself forward uncontrollably, but fortunately, Xie Yun, who was sitting next to him, moved fast enough, so that Lu Wencai did not fall headlong on those sharp jar fragments.

"You've drunk too much!" Xie Yun said with a wry smile while holding Lu Wencai in both hands.

"No...... I know you...... You are Xie Yun...... It's my good brother Lu Wencai who only met today, and in the future in the Holy Soul Academy, whoever dares to bully you will tell me...... I...... I'll help you out......"

"Okay, good, whoever dares to bully me in the future, I'll tell you!"

"Must ......"

"Definitely!"

Xie Yun didn't say a word to Lu Wencai, and nodded at everyone with a wry smile, and then walked into the inner room with the drunken Lu Wencai and placed him on the bed to rest.

"This Lu Wencai, it really hasn't changed at all!" Han Ling'er drank a few sips of wine, and a trace of blush swelled on her fair face at this moment, but there was no drunkenness in her words.

"The reason why Wen Cai got drunk so quickly and drank so quickly is because he was so happy!" Lu Yifan said with a light sigh, then slowly turned his head to Lu Jun and Luo Xiu, and said faintly, "It seems that in this year, you have not lived as smoothly and steadily as I imagined!"

"Alas, it's all trivial things, it's not worth it at all!" Lu Jun picked up his wine glass and gestured to Lu Yifan, "Come, come back today, let's have a drink first and then talk about the rest!"

"Yes, but when you're full of food and drink later, you must tell me everything about the situation in the academy!" Lu Yifan also picked up his wine glass and replied softly.

"Good!"

After that, several people at the table pushed the cup and changed the lamp again, talking and laughing with each other. Liu Sandao and Kihara, Xie Yun took turns to tell Lu Jun and Luo Xiu about what had happened in the southwest in the past year, while Lu Jun and Luo Xiu listened with relish, especially under Liu Sandao's deliberate rendering, the two of them were even more thrilling to hear, and their faces changed again and again with Liu Sandao's description, especially when they heard the last part of dealing with Lou Zong, Liu Sandao deliberately said the ups and downs of the plot, so that Lu Jun and Luo Xiu even forgot to drink, and just held chopsticks in a daze and listened attentively, which made Lu Yifan and Han Linger shake their heads and smile bitterly。

With Liu Sandao's loud narration and the occasional cheers from Lu Jun and Luo Xiu's mouths, mixed with the snoring sound from Lu Wencai in the inner room, tonight's small courtyard can be said to be filled with a lively and peaceful atmosphere that has never been seen in this year.

Time passed quickly, and in a blink of an eye, it was late at night, and the noise in the courtyards of the back mountain gradually stopped, and it was obvious that everyone had rested one after another.

At this moment, the wine and food on the table in the room also turned into a mess like a whirlwind, and only one or two candles were burned in the original brightly lit dozen candles, and the room suddenly became a little dim.

And Lu Yifan and the others had already left the wine table at this time, and several people sat around the bed, a faint candle flame swayed slightly on the table at the head of the bed, which seemed to indicate that the atmosphere of the room had begun to gradually change from lively to silent at this moment. It was so quiet that even everyone's voices became clearer when they spoke.

Lu Yifan leaned quietly on the head of the bed, his brows furrowed slightly, and his right hand supported his chin, as if he was contemplative. The others were sitting around him, just now Lu Jun had already told him about the general situation in the academy now, and no one spoke after that, because they were all waiting for Lu Yifan's decision.

"Whew!" After a long time, Lu Yifan slowly exhaled a breath of turbidity, then raised his eyes to look at Lu Jun and Luo Xiu, and said softly, "According to what you said, now Qingmen is becoming more and more powerful under the leadership of Cheng Yi, and the revenge against us is becoming more and more obvious. And the Tang Gate is because of us, and now it is declining, and it is about to be completely squeezed out by the Yumen?"

"That's pretty much it!" Lu Jun nodded and said, "In this year, the relationship between Yumen and Qingmen seems to be very shallow, although Hanmen is still barely supporting Tangmen, but after all, there is still a Chumen in the academy to watch out for, so it is impossible for Hanmen to put too much energy on helping Tangmen." ”

"Brother Yifan, in fact, it's okay for us to be angry with Qingmen, but we always feel that the Tang Sect has been affected, especially in this year, the Tang Sect can be said to be supporting us under huge pressure, so we are very unhappy in our hearts. Luo Xiu echoed.

"Then what do you think?" Ji Yuan asked Lu Jun.

"In fact, we have also discussed this matter carefully, after all, it is not a long-term solution to go on like this, if we want to eliminate these senseless hidden dangers, there are only two ways in front of us!" Lu Junyi said rhetorically.

"Which two?" Han Ling'er's eyes moved, as if she had thought of something, and her whole person seemed to become nervous all of a sudden.

"One is to join the Tang Sect and help the Tang Ruoxi Sect Master to strengthen the Tang Sect together! and then in the upcoming academy competition on the first day of the second lunar month, defeat the Yumen and help the Tang Sect win higher glory. Lu Jun pondered.

However, as soon as Lu Jun's words came out, Han Linger's body trembled slightly obviously, and she subconsciously looked at Lu Yifan, with an indescribably complicated look in her eyes, with a trace of reluctance and a hint of hesitation.

In fact, from the bottom of Han Linger's heart, of course she didn't want Lu Yifan and Tang Ruoxi to get too close, after all, she had already realized the very special relationship between Tang Ruoxi and Lu Yifan a year ago. Now after a year's trip to the southwest, especially after Mu Dan left, her relationship with Lu Yifan has become more and more intimate, so he doesn't want another Tang Ruoxi to appear after Mu Dan.

As a woman, she is selfish but not wrong with such thoughts. But as a friend, she couldn't stop Lu Yifan and them from helping Tang Ruoxi, after all, Tang Ruoxi had great kindness to Lu Yifan and the others.

It is human nature to be selfish for love, but isn't it morality to know how to repay kindness?

Han Linger's hesitation and hesitation were extremely secretive, at least in her own opinion, she was trying her best to cover it up, because she didn't want to interfere with any of Lu Yifan's moral decisions.

Despite this, Lu Yifan still felt the anxiety and nervousness from Han Ling'er for the first time, which made Lu Yifan's heart tremble violently, and then he quietly observed Han Ling'er's uneasy behavior with a gentle afterglow, but he himself did not open his mouth to speak under the gaze of everyone.

"Brother Yifan, you ......"

"Needless to say!" Without waiting for Luo Xiu to ask, Lu Yifan suddenly looked straight, and then a strange smile rose at the corner of his mouth, his eyes slowly scanned everyone present, and the last pair of dark eyes gathered straight on Lu Jun's body, and in Han Linger's nervous and uneasy gaze, he finally opened his mouth firmly.

"I won't join the Tang Sect!"
