The autumn sun is shining, but there is no temperature.

Qiu Fang sat alone on the stone ladder in the courtyard of Zhou Zong, the young man who was originally carefree on weekdays, but his eyes were full of sorrow, and his thin body seemed to be blown away by the autumn wind.

Zhou Zong had not yet woken up, and the other people in Dongjimen were waiting by his bedside, leaving only Qiufang outside. There are still disciples in the courtyard who are cleaning the autumn leaves, since they heard Zhou Zong say last night that the black shadow of the night attack and Qiu Fang are old friends, these disciples are afraid of Qiu Fang, and when they see Qiu Fang sitting there, they naturally don't dare to come forward to talk, and hide aside and whisper with their heads.

"It's terrible that the black shadow was able to fight with the master last night!" A white fat boy who didn't look old enough for Qiu Fang, but had a somewhat round figure, pinched the broom in his hand and sighed at the thin little disciple beside him.

Seeing him pause for a moment, he dragged a long and narrow voice and said, "That is, the people in this world who can fight with the head of the master can be counted on one hand, and it is not easy to lose that black shadow to eat a move and escape." ”

"But, what is the origin of the little Taoist sitting over there, I heard that he was the one who had a big trouble with the Mo Sect a few days ago, and he also brought that kind of evil star last night."

When the white fat disciple heard this, his face showed a somewhat terrifying expression, and he said in a low voice: "You can be quiet, don't let him hear it, I heard from them, this person seems to be a disciple of our sect, who committed an accident outside and came back to hide from the disaster." The one last night was probably his enemy. ”

"Enemies? What kind of enemy? What a big deal this has to cause. hurt so many brothers and sisters last night, all of them were made to make trouble. The thin disciple gritted his teeth when he said this, as if he had already regarded Wu Qiufang as some kind of disaster. But he was stunned again, tilted his head and looked around, and changed his words: "But the girl in the dark shadow is really beautiful, and I want to be a daughter-in-law when I look at it." ”

The white fat disciple rolled his eyes when he heard this, and sneered: "Phew, didn't you say yesterday that you wanted to ask Senior Sister Fu Zhi to be your wife, why did you change your mind today." ”

"Hey, although this little junior sister is beautiful, but not as flavorful as the girl in the dark shadow, who do you choose?"

"Then I still choose the little junior sister, well-behaved, smart, and lively, who doesn't love it, in the dark shadow, look at Kefu."

"Kefu? I don't think you can eat grapes and say grapes are sour. ”

"It's like you've eaten grapes."

These two little disciples were fighting, but Fu Chao walked past them, and when these two disciples saw this, their faces turned white, and they hurriedly returned to their work.

"Little junior brother." Fu Chao saw Qiu Fang sitting alone on the stone stairs, his face was pale, and he didn't feel quite right, so he asked a rare question.

At this time, how could the disciples in the sect know that Zhou Zong was already in a coma and bedridden, and he still said that it was the head of the sect, Bo Shenwei, who had repelled the enemy. The same is true of Fu Chao, as a disciple of Zhou Zongyan and a leader among his peers, he thought that he should learn from his master what happened last night, and after lunch, he hurried over.

"Senior Brother Fu." Qiu Fang said hello listlessly, he was worried about Zhou Zong, and he hadn't closed his eyes all night, plus he usually had five senses, so he had already listened to the words of the two disciples, and he was in a terrible mood at the moment, and he didn't want to talk to Fu Chao more.

Fu Chao also saw the young man's expression in his eyes, although he had many doubts about the affairs of Qiu Fang in his heart, but he didn't want to be bored at this moment, so he skipped Qiu Fang and continued to walk towards Zhou Zong's house.

As soon as he walked up the steps, the door opened, and only Lin Yun walked out. She didn't close her eyes all night, and she was frightened in her heart, even if she was profound, she looked a lot haggard, and she was stunned for a moment when she saw Fu Chao who was about to knock on the door, and then saw Qiu Fang sitting on the side, so she sighed slightly.

"Your master and we have something to discuss, you have a while... I'll call you when you're done. Lin Yun knew that Zhou Zong had difficulty recovering in recent days, so she wanted to ask Fu Chao to come back to visit in a few days, but after thinking about it, she didn't want to spread the news that Zhou Zong was sick, so she had to change her mind in the end.

After saying this, she nodded to Qiu Fang again, and motioned for Qiu Fang to come into the house with her.

Qiu Fang followed Lin Yun into the house, he knew that there was a chill behind Fang Cai staring at him, but he didn't know the reason, only that Fu Chao had always been hostile to himself for Fu Zhi.

How did he know that Fu Chao's cold gaze was jealous that he could enter the house to discuss.

Although Fu Chao's Fu Dao attainments are not the top among the three generations of disciples, but after comprehensive consideration, with his shrewdness and city government, he is also the most competitive among the candidates for the future head of the Dongji Gate. And now that he has been robbed of the opportunity by this foreign disciple, how can he not be jealous.

In the house, except for Cao Zibu, who is also bedridden, and the eighth junior brother who has been missing for a long time, everyone from Zhou Zong's generation is there.

"I brought this kid in." Lin Yun looked around, and her voice was lower than usual.

Zhong Kou took over the conversation, looked at Qiu Fang fixedly, asked a little torture, and asked with some concern: "Qiu Fang, you tell your uncles, what do you know about that person last night." ”

"Last night was the third time the disciple saw her, the first two times were on Zhenming Mountain, the first time was repelled by the master, and the second time I attacked me while I was unprepared, so the disciple also fought with her." Qiu Fang was apprehensive in his heart, and in the face of the blazing eyes of all his uncles, he told him about his encounter with the black shadow one by one.

"Hmph, then your ability is not small, you can fight with this demon girl without being hurt." Duan Mou snorted coldly, he had always had a grudge against Qiu Fang, although he was protecting his shortcomings outside, but today he was the East Pole Gate people, so he naturally would not have reservations, and his tone was quite stern, as if he didn't believe what Qiu Fang said.

Although Qiu Fang is still a little young about human feelings, he is not a fool, and he can understand the meaning of these words. Although he was aggrieved in his heart, he still hurriedly argued: "Fourth uncle, what the disciple said must be true, but on the mountain that day, the black shadow didn't want to kill me, just wanted to defeat me, otherwise it was yesterday's move, and the disciple would not have a chance to see your uncles." ”

"Qiufang, this kid is kind and sincere, and he will definitely not lie to us." Lin Yun saw that Qiu Fang's face had a different color, knowing that he was kind by nature, and now seeing that Zhou Zong was bedridden, his heart was not better than that of several of their junior brothers, so he hurriedly comforted him, put his left hand on Qiu Fang's back, and patted him gently, as if to cheer him up.

After being comforted, Qiu Fang's heart was a little more comfortable, and his frowning brows also expanded a little.

"It's ridiculous for the second child to act." Duan Mou said that the autumn boat was not successful, so he turned the spearhead to Yan Qingyun again.

"Fourth Senior Brother, Second Senior Brother, he has a reason to act, and Qiu Fang may be the antidote to the birth of the boss." Lin Yun, who has always been gentle and peaceful, was unexpectedly excited when she heard Duan Mou's words, and even her tone was a little sharper.

"Heh, no matter how many years have passed, the second child has acted without mistake in your eyes." Duan Mou sneered, not to be outdone, staring at Lin Yun.

As soon as these words came out, Lin Yun's body trembled, and Qiu Fang looked at her sideways, only to see that her chest was rising and falling even more, her breathing became short, and her mutton fat jade-like cheeks were also dyed with a trace of flushing.

When Lin Yun was a young girl, she admired the second senior brother who was clear about good and evil and acted decisively, so much so that later, although no one broke it, she also knew that the girl's heart had been occupied by Yan Qingyun. It's just that these decades have passed, and it seems that she hasn't untied the knot.

"Hey, the third child, you're not dead yet, the East Pole Gate will have to be messed up." There was a strange sentence suddenly from behind Qiu Fang, and I didn't have to guess to know that it was He Wangshu who didn't have a door on his mouth, but I saw him reclining on a chair in the corner alone, gently shaking the folding fan with his left hand, and playing with the small porcelain cup of the tea drinker with his right hand, still as always.

"You!" Duan Mou shouted angrily when he heard this, and stared at He Wangshu viciously, his eyes about to erupt with fire.

"It's not rough to say, it's okay to quarrel and quarrel on weekdays, the third senior brother hasn't gotten better yet. It's important to get down to business today. Zhong Kou frowned, although the relationship between these brothers is very good, but quarreling is also a sparse and common thing, usually Zhou Zong speaks to stop it, but at this moment, Zhong Kou doesn't say a word, I'm afraid Zhou Zong will have to turn his back on it when he wakes up and sees this appearance.

"What happened to you three last night? It actually caused a great loss of the old three's vitality. Duan Mou didn't pay attention to the quarrel just now, but he didn't want to talk to He Wangshu, so he said to Xiong Junqi, who hadn't said a word for a long time.

Xiong Junqi was not in a hurry to talk when he heard this, but glanced sideways at Qiu Fang, and after a long time, he pried open his tightly locked lips and said, "I will meet the dead soul." ”
