In the tavern wing room in the outer city of Kyoto, Lin Xiuyuan drank four or five glasses of aging wine in a row, but Xu Yuanyou was still sitting next to him with a smile, and finally he couldn't help but ask:

"I've had several drinks, but you're talking."

Xu Yuanyou was slightly stunned, and asked as if he was a little strange:

"Say what?"

Lin Xiuyuan couldn't help rolling his eyes, and then made a gesture of rolling up his sleeves, after drinking a few glasses of aging, he felt that he was a little different from usual, there was a fire burning in his body, which made him quite excited, and his actions became not so calm.

Seeing this, Xu Yuanyou hurriedly smiled dryly:

"Don't be impulsive, don't be impulsive, I remember."

Lin Xiuyuan glared at him, and there was a posture that the other party was about to make a move if he didn't speak, Xu Yuanyou pretended to say:

"You say that you are not in a stable state of mind and cannot meditate and practice, then let me ask you, what is the reason why you are unable to meditate? Or rather, what were you thinking about at those times? ”

Lin Xiuyuan was silent for a moment, and then said:

"There will be many, such as the master, and the words of the father."

Xu Yuanyou glanced at it and said lightly:

"What else?"

Lin Xiuyuan hesitated for a moment, and then said:

"And Miss Meng."

Xu Yuanyou snapped his fingers, then slapped his thigh and said:

"That's the question, let me ask you, every time you think of your Meng girl, your heart is stirred, and you can't even control your thoughts. Do you want to get along with her for a long time and see each other every day? ”

Lin Xiuyuan was slightly stunned, then thought about it carefully, nodded seriously, and said with some worry:

"Is there something wrong with me?"

Xu Yuanyou said with a serious face:

"It's true that you're out of the way, and it's a big problem."

Lin Xiuyuan's expression also became solemn, and he said to Xu Yuanyou:

"Could it be that the last time I fought with that Demon Sect Throne, I left some undiscovered sequelae?"

Xu Yuanyou looked at him, and wanted to continue pretending, but he couldn't hold back his laughter, shook his head again and again, covered his stomach and said:

"No, no, I can't make it up. You're so interesting, I've never seen you so simple. ”

Lin Xiuyuan couldn't help but feel a little inexplicable when he saw him smiling too happily, and frowned even more when he heard this:

"What do you mean, you're lying to me?"

Xu Yuanyou only smiled and didn't answer, Lin Xiuyuan gritted his teeth and looked at it for a long time, and then finally couldn't bear it anymore.

Not far from the wing, Xiao Er, who had been waiting for him, suddenly heard a crackling sound in the wing, a little strange, these two drank a drink, why did they make such a loud noise, but he didn't dare to disturb easily, thinking that maybe the immortals on the mountain drank differently from ordinary people, and some movements were also natural.

After a while, Lin Xiuyuan sat down at the table again, drank it all with his wine glass, and then spat out a turbid breath, which seemed to be much more relaxed.

And next to him, Xu Yuanyou sorted out his Taoist robe, he was a little embarrassed at the moment, his hair was slightly scattered, and the Dao hairpin also fell to the side, the most important thing is that above his eyes, there were two more dark circles under his eyes, which looked like a Kyushu beast, an iron-eating beast.

He picked up the hairpin, rearranged his hair, and when he reached out and touched his eyes, he grinned a little in pain, and couldn't help muttering:

"You kid is too ruthless, I'm not a martial artist, but I'm not as rough and thick as you, so you don't know how to suffer a little force."

Lin Xiuyuan didn't have a good airway:

"If I don't get the force, you'll not be swollen with your eyes."

Xu Yuanyou saw that his expression was a little depressed, and he no longer teased him, but said:

"Okay, I won't tease you, it's not that you're in a state of mind at all, but that your seventh trick has finally opened, do you remember the avenue I told you after the Juxian Meeting?"

Lin Xiuyuan recalled carefully, then frowned and said:

"Do you intercede?"

Xu Yuanyou nodded and smiled:

"Congratulations, you've finally set foot on this avenue."

Lin Xiuyuan was a little stunned, but Xu Yuanyou said leisurely:

"When there is poverty at the end of the world, there is only endless lovesickness."

He looked at Lin Xiuyuan and said:

"Do you understand?"

Although Lin Xiuyuan was a little sluggish in this regard, he was not a fool after all, although he was still a little ignorant, but he had already understood, he hesitated for a moment and said:

"So what should I do?"

Xu Yuanyou rolled his eyes and said:

"It's not a shame to like someone, it's bold to say it, of course, what the final result will be depends on the will of God and fate."

Lin Xiuyuan was silent, and then drank a glass of wine to himself, at this moment, he felt a little like this thing, after a glass of wine, the inexplicable tension before was much less.

By the time Lin Xiuyuan came out of the tavern, it was already three hours later, he was walking on the street alone, a little swaying, and in the end, he and Xu Yuanyou drank no less than three altars of aging, in fact, as a martial artist, if Lin Xiuyuan didn't want to get drunk, even if he drank more, he could completely resolve the alcohol with his innate sincerity, but he didn't want to do so, but enjoyed this hazy meaning a little.

Xu Yuanyou's words echoed in his ears, making his heart more and more agitated.

Unconsciously, Lin Xiuyuan walked to the Juxian Palace, he raised his eyes, a little stunned, he subconsciously wandered, and actually came here, the reason, he didn't know why, maybe there was a big competition here that made him famous in Kyoto.

Or maybe it was here that he met the girl for the first time.

Lin Xiuyuan hesitated for a moment, did not enter the Juxian Palace, but turned around and was about to leave, but just turned around, he stopped again, because he saw that not far from the street, there was a young girl, wearing the light blue gauze skirt, looking at him quietly.

Lin Xiuyuan was stunned for a moment, but his heart was agitated for a moment, he subconsciously walked forward, came to the girl, and then hesitated for a long time before he said:

"Why are you here?"

The girl frowned, looked at him suspiciously, and then said:

"You've been drinking?"

Lin Xiuyuan's old face turned red, and he scratched his head a little embarrassed and said:

"Xu Yuanyou had to drag me to drink, saying that he could help me solve my doubts."

The girl said strangely:

"What's the solution?"

Lin Xiuyuan was a little embarrassed and didn't know what to say, because the object of his puzzle was the girl in front of him, Meng Yiyao!

Meng Yiyao didn't dig deeper, seeing that he didn't speak, he didn't ask much, but said softly:

"It's too noisy at home, and I want to find a place where no one is reading, so I'm here."

She was answering the other party's previous question, Lin Xiuyuan nodded stupidly, and then there was no movement, Meng Yiyao saw that he didn't speak, and took the initiative to speak:

"Do you want to come along?"

Lin Xiuyuan's face was happy and said:

"Is that okay?"

Meng Yiyao glanced at him with a little disgust, and then did not speak, but walked directly towards the Juxian Palace, there is no one here on weekdays, Meng Yiyao often comes here, and the guards here will not stop him.

Lin Xiuyuan was stunned for a moment, and then hurriedly followed, and the two walked into the Juxian Hall one after the other, and then came to the courtyard where they first met, which was still the pavilion.

Meng Yiyao opened the book intently, and did not pay attention to Lin Xiuyuan, but Lin Xiuyuan sat on the side, carefully looking at the other party's expression, he didn't know if he would not please the other party if he drank wine.

He was hesitating whether he wanted to dissolve the alcohol, and when he was struggling in his heart, Meng Yiyao, who was reading a book on the side, suddenly said:

"What are you thinking?"

Lin Xiuyuan looked at her in a panic, at a loss, Meng Yiyao raised his head, looked into his eyes, and said softly:

"From the moment you came in, your heart was in turmoil, and although I couldn't see it, I could feel it."

Lin Xiuyuan hesitated for a moment, but decided to tell the truth:

"I'm afraid you're going to dislike me drinking. Wondering if you're angry? ”

Meng Yiyao was stunned for a moment, and then said with a smile:

"Why should I be angry when you drink."

Lin Xiuyuan was blocked by the other party's words, Meng Yiyao saw that he had a little lost expression on his face, as if he understood something, a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, and then after thinking about it, he said:

"Besides, I never think that drinking alcohol is necessarily a bad habit, on weekdays, I will also get some peach blossom brew from time to time to drink, of course, I don't drink well, so I don't dare to drink more, but that wonderful taste, still commendable. As long as you don't get drunk and get drunk, you can degrade yourself by doing so, there's nothing wrong with that. ”

Lin Xiuyuan's face showed a hint of joy, and he whispered:

"That means you won't be angry."

Meng Yiyao glared at him, as if he felt that he was really a little unenlightened, so he simply stopped talking.

Lin Xiuyuan hesitated for a moment in his heart, remembering Xu Yuanyou's words, with the strength of wine, he finally decided to speak, he clenched his fists a little nervously, then looked at Meng Yiyao, and said seriously:

"Miss Meng..."

Meng Yiyao raised his eyes to look at him, Lin Xiuyuan's heart immediately became nervous, and after taking a deep breath, he spoke again:

"I..."

He only said one word, but Meng Yiyao suddenly interrupted:

"You're going to Haoran Academy soon, aren't you?"

Lin Xiuyuan was stunned for a moment, then nodded subconsciously, and Meng Yiyao continued:

"What about after you go to the academy? Do you want to return to Kyoto? ”

After Lin Xiuyuan thought about it, he still said:

"Probably not, there aren't many opportunities here for me to continue my cultivation, I may need to walk around."

Meng Yiyao nodded, but Lin Xiuyuan seemed to understand something, and the words he came to his mouth were also swallowed back by him, Meng Yiyao started reading again, but said faintly in his mouth:

"I've heard that cultivators, both in terms of lifespan and physique, far surpass the mundane, so there are very few cultivators who combine with mortals, so there is a saying that immortals are different."

Lin Xiuyuan was silent, but he already knew everything in his heart, and finally he was silent for a long time before he slowly spoke:

"It's true, forcible union, unless the cultivator is willing to disperse, it can't be maintained for a long time."

Meng Yiyao seemed to nod suddenly, then looked at him and said:

"What did you just want to say?"

Lin Xiuyuan was silent for a moment, and said with a wry smile:

"It's nothing, I want to say, I still have things to do, I need to go first."

Meng Yiyao nodded, signaling that he was clear, Lin Xiuyuan got up a little lonely, and then walked out of the courtyard alone, Meng Yiyao didn't get up to send him off, just looked at his back, and his eyes fluctuated a little.
