Late autumn.

It's a little cold.

The lonely ancient sycamore tree, its bare gray branches still swaying in the wind.

The sun was bright, bright, and somewhat miserable.

Under the tree, Zhou Ling stood quietly at night, as if forming a unique fit with this piece of heaven and earth, manifesting a trace of loneliness and eternal rhyme.

"Miss, don't worry about him anymore, we have done our best, if he is still like this, then this is the established fate of the Great Zhou family. ”

A pleasing voice said with a sense of amazement.

Then, a girl in an apricot-yellow sword suit had already moved lightly.

Zhou Lingye didn't look back, nor did he look at her.

She felt that no matter how confident she was, the expression on her face was still empty, and the gaze in her eyes was still empty.

"Miss......"

The girl in the apricot yellow sword suit had already approached Zhou Lingye, but she didn't know what to say.

Thousands of words, as if all of them were pressed down by this beautiful but desolate environment.

The girl lowered her head and stood silently beside Zhou Lingye.

She stopped talking.

Because she knew that at this moment, all the words of comfort would have an impact on the eldest lady, which would touch the sadness and misfortune in her life, and touch the hope of the Great Zhou family that was almost extinguished like a candle in the wind.

Marriage?

Get support from the Infinite Sanctuary?

This is tantamount to a fool's dream.

Everyone understands this, and understands that the eldest lady is sending sheep into the tiger's mouth.

But when there is no way out, this is the last way.

The girl already regretted it in her heart, regretting that she had not held back and said such shocking words before.

The sun was rising, but the light was not brighter.

The chill was a little stronger.

When the light at noon is no longer bright, then the light will gradually dim.

The chill will only get colder.

It's like the hope of the inheritance of the Great Zhou family - when the ultimate hope is no longer hope, there is no longer hope.

Another gust of autumn wind blew, and Zhou Lingye suddenly said: "Chunmei, you don't have to worry about hurting me, and don't be resentful and blamed because of his situation." His performance today has been much better. ”

After being silent for a long time, Zhou Lingye finally spoke.

But her voice was not as desperate and sad as Chunmei imagined.

On the contrary, there is a wisp of complex meaning that Chunmei cannot understand.

"Miss, I'm ......"

The girl's pretty face showed a little pale, and in her bright eyes, there were tears shining brightly.

It contains various complex emotions such as grievances, sadness, and pity.

"There are ten days left, and until the end, don't give up hope. If we all give up on ourselves, then the Great Zhou family will really be finished. ”

"Moreover, after all, the Gu Clan has only sent out information, and has not really started yet, and we can't mess with ourselves. ”

Zhou Lingye pondered for a moment and muttered.

Then, without waiting for the girl Chunmei to answer, she said again: "I have seen Zhou Ruochen this time, and I have a vague feeling and comprehension of the Battle Soul Sword Dao, and my strength will definitely go further." I'll do penance for a day, and I'll see him tomorrow. He made a request to see the library today, you and Qiuzhu, serve him well. ”

When Chunmei heard this, her body trembled slightly, and she said quite unwillingly: "However, he actually took off his robe in front of the eldest lady yesterday and did ...... such obscene."

"He has a hidden disease in his body, and now he is at the age of sixteen, Qiu Zhu had no intention of exposing the spring light yesterday, and it is normal for him to have a physiological reaction when he sees it. If you are a fool, you are nothing. ”

Zhou Lingye blushed slightly, but shook his head and sighed.

Chunmei's face was flushed and embarrassed, but she was also quite helpless, sighed lightly, as if resigned to her fate, and said, "Then it can only be like this." I hope this 'genius' will open his mind soon, at least, stop being so stupid." Otherwise, yesterday I was able to urinate in public, and today, I don't know if I will do anything indecent. ”

"Alas, eldest miss, Qiu Zhu had an epiphany today, and he is about to step into the True Yuan Realm Triple and has already retreated. The matter of serving the eldest young master Zhou Ruochen will be handed over to Chunmei. Chunmei will ...... Serve the eldest young master well. ”

Chunmei's voice was a little lower.

Zhou Lingye said: "She, probably doesn't want to serve Zhou Ruochen anymore." ”

Chunmei lowered her head slightly and muttered, "She...... She didn't actually think so, but, just, ......"

Zhou Lingye said: "She actually thinks that Zhou Ruochen, a fool, is useless in his meridians anyway, and his dantian is also rotten, and there is no hope." This kind of time is used to take care of him, it is better to self-cultivation, and when the ancient clan attacks, the battle can also be more powerful. ”

Chunmei didn't expect that the eldest lady could see through Qiuzhu's mind in an instant, her brain was blank in an instant, and she didn't know how to answer.

The scene fell silent again.

After a long time, Zhou Lingye sighed abruptly: "His previous situation was quite rational, and his eyes were not as stupid as in the past. He also has a progressive heart, which is a good thing, for better or for worse. Chunmei, you go. ”

"Miss, that Chunmei has retired. ”

Chunmei bowed in response.

In her opinion, the so-called 'reason' and 'progressive heart' of the eldest lady are not facts, and they are probably just a self-deceptive expectation and hope.

Chunmei knew, but she didn't refute it.

What about one more day?

A fool is a fool after all. After being stupid for so many years, what should have been restored should have been restored a long time ago, and what should have risen should have risen a long time ago.

Chunmei didn't say anything more.

Because no matter how much you say, it doesn't matter anymore, and it can't change the cruel fact that the eldest lady married the Wuji Holy Land after all, and it can't be changed after all, the fact that the Great Zhou family has completely declined, and has been invaded and slaughtered by the ancient clan, seizing the inheritance of "Battle Soul Sword Dao".

Chunmei came to the entrance of the ancient sword courtyard, the best courtyard of the Great Zhou family, with a full stomach.

Here, adjacent to the Floating Moon Courtyard of the eldest lady Zhou Lingye, both the environment and the energy intensity of the Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi far exceed the rest of the places.

Zhou Ling lived in such a place at night, and no one in the Great Zhou family was dissatisfied.

And Zhou Ruochen, a fool, lives here, and the situation is the opposite.

But so what? In the name of the inheritor of the ancient bloodline, he still lives here very comfortably, and enjoys the service and service of the eldest young master.

Chunmei was very angry in her heart, and the more she thought about it, the more angry she became.

Therefore, her steps are also extraordinarily loud.

It's like she vented all her anger on this flat and smooth ground.

......

Zhou Ruochen put his hands behind his back, and through the changes in the vitality between heaven and earth, the way of energy flow, combined with his own understanding, he had some new understanding of this world.

The road to simplicity.

For an existence of his level, a glimpse of the ability of the whole leopard has reached its peak.

"A new structure, a perfect level of vitality, a complex but interlocking energy system...... It looks like this is a whole new world. No, even a completely new domain. ”

"But I don't know if it's the starry sky domain outside the Heaven Sacrifice Domain, or a new life after the destruction of all the great domains. ”

"Does the 'Blood Tower' that manifested at that critical moment and is similar to the uncle's inheritance treasure have a more complex origin and secret?"

Zhou Ruochen pondered for a long time.

Through analysis, Zhou Ruochen has determined the environmental information and has a deeper understanding of his own situation.

The blood is dry, and the soul is silent and weak.

But these are not important, because even if it is a dry bloodline, it is also a bloodline that belongs to the former evil Holy Spirit. Because even the weakest soul belongs to the soul that was once at the peak of the Holy Spirit.

Although he could not cultivate within the rules, he was born with the Holy Spirit.

Such an existence, even if there is only a trace of existence now, is enough to rise rapidly.

"Bang bang bang-"

Just as Zhou Ruochen was about to try to use his soul breath to sense heaven and earth and gather the vitality of heaven and earth to cleanse himself, the sound of gravity knocking suddenly came from the gate of the courtyard.

It's not knocking, it's kicking.

Kick the door with your foot.

Zhou Ruochen looked over calmly, and through the barrier of the gate, he seemed to see a girl in a yellow sword suit with anger and resentment in her eyes, and she was venting something to her heart's content.

Zhou Ruochen's soul breath moved slightly, the gate of the courtyard shook slightly, and the door suddenly opened by itself with a 'clang'.

And the girl in the apricot yellow sword suit then kicked out violently, and she was already kicked into the air, so her figure couldn't help but stumble.

"Hey, idiot, what's the matter, you won't even open the door?

After the girl stood still, her breath was slightly panting, her breathing was undulating, and her words were slightly mean.

"The eldest lady asked you to come to serve me, even if I am a fool, I am also the master. You are a subordinate, don't even know the basic dignity and humility. ”

Zhou Ruochen said indifferently in a calm tone.

"You ......"

When the girl Chunmei heard Zhou Ruochen's words, she was so angry that her face turned red, and she felt aggrieved, and she felt that Zhou Ruochen's fool was simply too deceitful!

However, seeing the other party's weak and thin appearance, Chunmei's eyes were a little more contemptuous - after all, he is an incompetent waste, forget it, and a fool, why bother too much? It's a pity that the eldest lady is such a smart and strange woman, after all, she was dragged down by this fool, this is really hateful!

"Lead the way, go to the Library Pavilion! The family is not finished yet, just sigh like this, no wonder the Great Zhou family is so decadent now. ”

Zhou Ruochen saw that Chunmei's expression was rich and her face was uncertain, so he knew that she was mostly deviant, and she was worried about the affairs of the Great Zhou family.

In this way, for Zhou Ruochen, it is indeed unnecessary.

But he knew that after all, he could not be compared with these ordinary beings, whether it was the mind or the others.

Wish?

To live, there is hope.

These, at their immature age, I am afraid that they will never understand.

"You...... It's simply unreasonable!The Great Zhou Family's decline is not entirely due to your incompetence, you have borne the hopes of everyone in the Great Zhou Family, and have consumed a lot of cultivation resources, but—"

Chunmei was very angry, almost pointing her finger at Zhou Ruochen and saying such angry words.

But before she could finish her words, her gaze darkened again.

Because it is herself, she knows that these are too difficult for strong people.

After all, Zhou Ruochen was the baby that the ancestor picked up from Jianyuan Pool, but it was only determined that he might become the hope of the rise of the Great Zhou family - and at that time, the Great Zhou family had already declined, although it was not as withered and miserable as it is now, but it was not much better.

When such words were spoken, Chunmei felt a little guilty and blamed herself in her heart after all.

But when she looked up at Zhou Ruochen, she found that Zhou Ruochen's expression was really calm and indifferent.

Even, it seems, Zhou Ruochen didn't hear her mean words.

This...... Like, not like a fool anymore.

Inexplicably, Chunmei's heart trembled.

"Let's go, lead the way. ”

Zhou Ruochen said.

"Oh. Okay, big young master. ”

Chunmei instinctively agreed, bowed, and then walked forward very well-behaved, as if she was treating the eldest lady.
