In the small courtyard, with the departure of Ye Wuwu and Xuanyuan, there was no longer a figure in the end, and it seemed a little deserted.

Wu Ye looked at the two who had disappeared, and there was a hint of clarity in his eyes.

He muttered in a voice that only he could hear.

"It turned out to be Dugu Xuan's apprentice, and that girl turned out to be his junior sister, no wonder, it's just a pity that this Ye boy's luck is good."

"Ye Boy is very smart, but it's a pity that no matter how smart he is, he will be used as a furnace by the Shifting Flower Palace after all, just like a white leaf."

But then, he laughed a little to himself.

"If you laugh at what others do, why shouldn't you be oneself?"

Wu Ye turned around and returned to the room, but he skillfully took the housework in the woman's hands and did it.

After a moment, he looked calm and said softly.

"Nian'er, I might have to go out next."

was called Nian'er by him, but the age was already a middle-aged woman, and her figure was slightly stunned at the moment, and then she looked calm.

"Remember, when you married me, you told me that you wouldn't care about those things anymore."

Wu Ye's face was complicated, he lowered his head and didn't dare to look at the woman's gaze, and said softly.

"My father's last wishes, I need to pay them off.

It's just this time, and I assure you that after this time, even if the world sets off a huge wave, I will not interfere in the slightest. ”

The woman shook her head, as if not wanting to hear the words, but spoke.

"How long?"

Wu Ye was silent for a moment and spoke.

"About half a month, it's not too long."

"How long?"

The middle-aged woman continued.

Wu Ye was silent, and then chuckled.

"Maybe it's going to be longer, two or three months, right?"

"How long will it take?"

The woman's voice was calm without a trace of fluctuation, but her hands were tightly crossed together, and her fingers trembled.

Wu Ye finally put away his smiling face at this moment, was silent for a moment, and then put down the housework in his hand.

He turned and walked behind the woman and gently hugged her from behind.

The hands were clasped together, and the trembling in the woman's hands calmed down.

In the room, a man's deep voice was heard.

"Probably, half a year, maybe a year, a year later, I will definitely be able to come back to see you."

The woman's expression did not change, except for a shallow smile on the corner of her mouth, but it was not a smile, but as if laughing at herself.

She spoke slowly, but her voice was low and terrifying.

"What if you don't come back?"

Wu Ye was stunned for a moment, and was about to speak, but was gagged by the woman and couldn't speak.

After a long time, the woman took a step back, looked at her husband, and said very calmly.

"If you Wu Ye don't come back within a year, then I, Qiao Niannu, will come back here and build a bluestone tomb for you in Ye City, and put your favorite lilacs on it."

"If you come back, I will dress myself up beautifully, change into the same clothes you wore when you got married, light a candle, add a bowl of homecoming noodles for you that you once said, and stand at the intersection to greet you."

The woman's expression was extremely serious.

Wu Ye's eyes trembled slightly, but he said with a smile.

"No kidding, remove the first, you can have the second."

There was no trace of waves in the woman's eyes, but a gentle smile bloomed on her face, and she shook her head.

"I'm not kidding."

Wu Ye was silent for a while, his steps were a little anxious for some reason, and his expression was also a little anxious.

Eventually, he didn't say anything, but strode out the door.

He didn't dare to say.

He didn't dare to give a promise to a woman.

He didn't know if he would ever come back.

Jun asked about the return date, but there was no deadline.

In this case, it is better not to say it, so as not to have a little more obsession.

Not long after he left, another pretty girl came to the small courtyard.

But it's Xiao Jiu.

Xiao Jiu shouted a few times in the courtyard at this moment, but there was no response, so he had to look into the room, and he could vaguely see the woman's figure.

She looked a little apprehensive, walked in, stood behind the other and whispered.

"Sister Qiao, senior brother asked me to take you back to the East China Sea to wait for him, Yecheng is no longer safe."

Qiao Niannu slowly turned his head, looked at the woman in front of him, and nodded slightly, but his face showed the usual smile on his face as in the past.

She said softly.

"Let's go."

Xiao Jiu looked stunned at the moment, thought about it, and didn't speak.

In her sight, the other party's eyes were slightly red, and crystal tears were faintly visible next to her cheeks.

It's clear that Fang just cried.

Qiao Niannu and Xiao Jiu walked out of this small courtyard where they had lived for many years, she closed the courtyard door preciously, and glanced at the ugly noodle restaurant sign hanging on the courtyard door.

Xiao Jiu looked at the other party with such a look at this moment, hesitated, and asked.

"Do you want to take something with you?"

Qiao Niannu shook his head at this moment, said let's go again, and then turned to leave.

The woman's pace is gentle, but her figure reveals a hint of determination.

He didn't know that the bluestone tomb that the woman said was not built by him.

Rather, it is for the woman herself.

If you Wu Ye don't come back, then I, Qiao Niannu, will never live alone in the world.

I will be buried here, resting here, with the fragrance of lilacs, quietly watching.

Lilac, flower language means eternal sorrow and longing.

……

Half a month later, Ye Wuwu slowly stepped to the foot of Xiaoyan Mountain, but his face was wearing the mask of a white fox.

Soon after the Xuanyuan clan left the city, they separated from him.

According to what the other party said, he was going to Da Chu.

Ye Wuwu looked at this somewhat stupid young man at that time, and deliberately exchanged the silver ticket for some silver taels, and then cherished it to the other party.

The other party didn't have any on him, even if it was the Blowing Snow realm, Ye Wuwu was afraid that the other party would starve to death halfway before he reached Dachu.

And Yecheng, not long after Ye Wuwu left, the news of the city lord's departure came.

From now on, Yecheng will no longer be controlled.

A large number of Yecheng residents also chose to leave.

The Dinghai Divine Needle in Yecheng is gone, so Yecheng, an extralegal city, is useless after all.

These thoughts flashed in Ye Wuwu's mind, and then he slowly walked towards Xiaoyan Mountain.

The mountain fog was still there, but it couldn't stop him.

It's close.

It's close.

Obviously, he was so close to the mountain gate and so close to home, but Ye Wuwu felt a little flustered inexplicably.

I can't tell the truth.

Furnace Ding? Luck?

Dugu Xuan, Shifting Flower Palace, Lu Caiwei.

You can't climb to the top in this life.

Those thoughts that had been suppressed were now frowned for some reason, but they resurfaced in my heart again.

But no matter how much he slowed down, the not-so-long mountain road eventually came to an end.

In front of me is the sect.

Ye Wuwu looked up.

In his eyes, there was the familiar figure of a woman.

The woman's figure is still the same as usual, her body is clear and her temperament is cold, but there is a faint smile between her eyebrows.

The young swordsman stopped abruptly.
