The servants brought the food one after another, and there was wine.

Kong Qian poured himself a full cup, raised his head and drank it all, with a faint sadness on his expression.

Shang Yu said to Mu Fan, "We meet again." ”

"yes!" Mu Fan remembered his master's admonition, Shang Yu was a woman with a lot of brains and ambitions, and maintaining a friendship with her might be of great use in the future.

Shang Yu smiled: "I've seen you several times, it seems that someone has chased you before, but it's rare that no one is chasing you this time." ”

Mu Fan smiled: "Up and down, inside and out, everything is done, of course no one kills me." It's an eventful time, and a lot of people don't have the time to kill my little minions. ”

"I mean, it's rare." Shang Yu laughed first as he spoke.

Mu Fan scratched his nose, a little embarrassed, "How about the other branches of your business?" ”

"It's still the same as before, a plate of scattered sand, and you can't gather together." Shang Yu smiled bitterly.

She then said to Xiao Wan: "The last time I saw you, you seemed to be unconscious. ”

"Well, I survived, thanks to your help." Xiaowan said thank you, but she was not very grateful in her heart. Shang Yu was not kind, but saved her, which was profitable.

Shang Yu said: "There's no need to thank me, come, eat vegetables." ”

Kong Qian took a sip of wine and asked, "Now that there is chaos in the northwest, what are your plans for the West Branch?" ”

Shang Yu hurriedly said: "What do we have any plans, and we ask Senior Kong for more advice." Alas...... Today's northwest is a mess, as if wrapped in layers of fog, I can't see what is going on inside, and I don't dare to bet casually. ”

Kong Qian said: "It's right to see clearly, since you entertain me, I will tell you, don't bet, don't bet." ”

Shang Yu asked curiously, "Don't bet on the imperial court?" ”

Although she couldn't see it clearly, she felt that it was difficult for Zhao Xuan to win, and in the later stage, the imperial court would win, and Zhao Xuan would lose.

Kong Qian nodded and said, "Don't bet!" ”

Shang Yu thought about it for a long time and decided to adopt Kong Qian's opinion. Since you can't see clearly, you might as well trust the judgment of insiders.

She wanted to ask why, but she knew very well in her heart that Kong Qian would go up to the most, and tell her that no one should bet, no matter how much, he would not let go.

In the following conversation, everyone only talked about trivial things, or the situation during this time, and never mentioned major things, but they were also harmonious.

After drinking and eating, they each returned to their respective residences and did not say anything all night......

The next day, before dawn, Kong Qian woke up the two and continued on their way.

Shang Yu said goodbye to the three of them, and since the three of them left the northwest, they met someone else to send them for the first time.

Riding a deer salmon is more comfortable than Edgeworth, you don't have to worry about anything, and it's very pleasant to lie on horseback and close your eyes.

After flying in the air for more than ten days, no one hindered the return of Mu Fan and his party. Occasionally, a few people appeared, all of them were little minions, and they didn't even know Kong Qian, turning them into fat sheep.

Dealing with these ill-intentioned people, Mu Fan's methods are very neat, and with a sword, all problems are solved.

Approaching the Sword Sect, Kong Qian's emotions were much heavier than before. He sometimes lost his mind and remembered his previous experiences. At this time, Mu Fan and Xiao Wan kept quiet.

There was still half a day away from the Sword Sect, and Mu Fan finally spoke, "Uncle Shi, you have already come here, why don't you go to the Sword Sect and sit down and meet your disciples." They have been learning from you for years, and they must have missed you very much. ”

"I ...... I'm not going. Kong Qian smiled, "There are too many people who have died because of me, I owe too much to the Sword Sect, and I don't have the face to see them." ”

Mu Fan said: "Many seniors of the Sword Sect ......"

"Don't say it, I've made up my mind." Kong Qian looked in the direction of the Sword Sect, "You are a smart person, take care of yourself, now the world is getting more and more chaotic, you live well, and inherit the previous sword in the future." ”

Mu Fan saw Kong Qian's resolute attitude, knowing that persuasion was useless, but he couldn't help but say more, "Don't worry, if Chengqian Sword comes to me one day, I will definitely be worthy of it." ”

Kong Qian pulled the reins, the deer salmon stopped in the clouds, he turned the direction of the deer salmon, and said in a deep voice: "There is no banquet in the world, the road is over, and we should part." ”

"Have a nice trip." Mu Fan thought about it, but only held back this sentence.

Xiao Wan also said: "Have a good trip." ”

Kong Qian patted the deer salmon on the back, clamped his legs, and the deer salmon led him to the depths of the clouds. He turned his back to Mu Fan and Xiao Wan, and after waving, it was counted as a farewell.

Mu Fan looked at Kong Qian's back, and his heart tightened for no reason, as if this farewell was goodbye. He could only pray to Heaven for protection, but he knew that there was no such thing as God!

……

……

The two rode a deer salmon and flew outside the gate of Jianzong Mountain, parting in autumn, and returning in the depths of winter.

The disciples of the Sword Sect guarding the mountain gate found the figures of Mu Fan and Xiao Wan and hurriedly reported to the authorities. The mountain gate opened, allowing the two to enter.

It's been almost two years since I joined the Sword Sect, and the scenery is still the same as before, and there are many young and immature faces in the mountains.

As they walked among them, they were suddenly stopped by someone.

"Yan Qing, you're back." There was surprise in the man's tone, and it was Zhang Jian who lost an arm.

Mu Fan glanced back at Zhang Jian, Zhang Jian's spirit was better than before.

The two met from the dense forest and returned to the Sword Sect together, and in the past two years, they have changed too much.

One became a disciple of Ye Feng, lit incense, and earned a lot of glory for the Sword Sect. The other finally bowed through the inner door, still unknown.

Mu Fan said: "How is your situation now?" ”

Zhang Jian smiled, "It's a little better, by the way, I want to ask you a question." ”

"What's the problem?"

"When the Sword Sect and the Dao Sect were in a joint exercise, you participated, did you see that towering ancient tree?"

Zhang Jian's words pulled Mu Fan into the past, when the ancient tree released a strange fluff, out of self-preservation, Zhang Jian left Mu Fan and left alone.

Looking at the past now, right and wrong are not so important.

Mu Fan shook his head, "I didn't see it." ”

Zhang Jian was a little lost, he asked a lot of people, and the results were very consistent: I hadn't seen it.

Mu Fan asked, "Are you serious?" ”

He vaguely remembered that Zhang Jian had said a very lofty sentence.

Zhang Jian's broken arm was caused by an ancient tree, and when Mu Fan amputated his leg, he once said that the tree must be cut down.

"Of course seriously, as long as I'm alive, I won't give up."

Mu Fan looked at Zhang Jian squarely, he couldn't see what Zhang Jian relied on to cut down the tree. Always pursuing an almost impossible goal is either a fool or a person with a very tenacious heart.

Zhang Jian saw Xiao Wan next to him, his eyes did not stop, just a polite greeting, "Under Zhang Jian, the tenth disciple of the enshrinement." ”

God knows how much effort he spent to climb from the outer disciple to the inner gate, and then became the disciple of the top ten offerings.

Xiao Wan smiled slightly, bowed and said, "Xiao Wan, worship under the Second Elder." ”

Zhang Jian has seen Lin Sang'er, although he has not seen many times, but he is very impressed. Xiaowan and Lin Sang'er in front of her are two completely different girls, one has a flamboyant personality, and the other is reserved and introverted.

Mu Fan patted Zhang Jian's shoulder, "We used to live and die together, you saved my life, I have a set of swords here to duel the "Sword to One", and I will give it to you." ”

"I can't do it." Zhang Jian hurriedly waved his hand, he had never heard of the name of this sword technique, but Mu Fan's identity was there, and the sword technique was destined to be not ordinary.
