Li Yu's life in the town has been a quiet and freehand life, although he does not talk about the sunrise and sunset, but he has finally recovered the appearance of a child. The Shen siblings often took him to play in various parts of the town, going down to the river to catch fish, going up the mountain to dig birds, catching snakes in the mountains, digging eels in the fields, and experiencing all the things that he should have experienced at his age. Originally, he still had the gloom of begging for life between his eyebrows, but in his relaxed and natural life, his last bit of complaint and hatred about life disappeared without a trace.

The days are spent so indifferently, but they are not really completely calm, Xu Kaijiang and the five people naturally provoked and tempted Li Yuduo later, but in Li Yu's indifferent and indifferent attitude, it was like a punch on cotton, powerful but could not be used, and when they wanted to do something to Li Yu in private, Li Yu was like a beast in the world, just one glance, they saw that they were frightened, and they had no intention of embarrassing him again. And Zhang Boqian was also blamed for the killing of Zhang Xi's doppelganger, and ordered not to embarrass Li Yu in the future, and it was best to leave away when he saw him. The same is true of the other four, so in the later period of time, he has a much easier life, and even Shen Xun and Shen Tang are rarely bullied and embarrassed by them anymore.

Xu is mood is different, he is no longer so restrained about people and things, and between words, he gradually dares to express his thoughts.

One day he was playing at the Shen brothers and sisters' house, Zhou Ce came suddenly, and when he entered the door, he saw that the three of them were embroidering in Shen Xun's room, writing, and painting, so easy-going and tranquil. He complained, "It's still quiet here, unlike my house, and they're about to die of noise." ”

Shen Tang put down the embroidery shed in his hand, got up and poured a bowl of tea for Zhou Ce, Zhou Ce hurriedly thanked him, and continued to complain, "Why didn't I know they were so cheeky before, no matter how euphemistically I said that I didn't want to help them check the stone stele, they just didn't hear it, and they had to spend more than half an hour every day to annoy me, I was really disturbed by them." ”

Shen Xun put down the pen in his hand and blew on it, in order to hurry up, he heard Zhou Ce complain like this, and said, "I said that you should refuse directly, if you don't listen, if you don't say that it's not good to refuse directly, I can't figure it out, what's wrong?" Do I want to do things that others want to force on me? ”

Zhou Ce just smiled bitterly after hearing this, and he didn't know what to say. Shen Xun said this method he didn't think about, and even wanted to adopt it directly, but because of his embarrassing position in Tianmen Town, although he lived in Dongcheng, he didn't have his own family, everything had to rely on himself, if he didn't make friends with people in Tianmen Town, I am afraid his life would be even more difficult.

Hearing this, Li Yu couldn't help but interject, "Why don't you tell the city lord directly?" ”

The three of them all looked at Li Yu in unison, their eyes revealed a stream of disbelief, and after a long silence, Li Yu saw them like this, and asked, "Am I wrong?" Why are you looking at me like that? ”

Shen Xun put down the pen and paper in his hand and stared at Li Yudao very seriously, "Xiao Yu'er, this is not a bad thing, but a matter of etiquette." You can't do what someone else entrusts you, and you can't turn what he has entrusted to you to tell someone else. ”

Li Yu didn't understand it anymore, he asked rhetorically, "But didn't Brother Zhou tell us?" ”

When Shen Xun heard Li Yu say this, Jun's face turned red, and he scratched his head a little embarrassed and said, "Oh, this and this, you can't mix it up!" We knew it that day, and we knew it in the right and bright light, but if Ash had told the Lord of the City or anyone else about it after us, it wouldn't have been the case. ”

Shen Tang couldn't help but cover his mouth after hearing this, and said with a giggle, "Brother, you can finally have a time when you are choked, you deserve it." ”

Seeing this, Zhou Ce also said quite righteously, "Although I don't like to associate with them, I can't sell them!" ”

This time it was Li Yu's turn to be a little dismissive, he didn't directly express his opinion, but talked about his own affairs before, "In the past, when I didn't come back with Master, the children in our village would often be divided into two factions for some trivial things, and those children who didn't interfere in it wanted to play with others, they had to choose to stand in line, stand right or left, which was not a shame in their eyes, but for themselves to better integrate into a circle." But no matter which side they want to integrate, it's not that simple, they need to show loyalty, they need to unite with them to deal with the other side, so, in this case, what do you think they should do? ”

Shen Xun didn't think about it, "I don't stand on either side, I only stand on the side I think is right." ”

Shen Tang thought for a while before saying, "I think what my brother said is right, and I am also on the right side." ”

When it was Zhou Ce's turn to make a statement, he didn't know what to say, the three of them stared at him, and after a long time, he said, "I don't know, I just want to live well." ”

The Shen brothers and sisters didn't hear the meaning of his words, or rather, even Zhou Ce himself didn't understand the meaning behind his words.

But Li Yu heard some meaning, after his sentence, he could actually add, "I only stand on the side that is beneficial to me." ”

Li Yu continued, "In fact, in my opinion, they are right to stand on one side, and of course they are right not to stand. Because there is no position, or taking oneself as a position, they all subconsciously choose a position that they think they think, but all positions cannot always remain correct, whether they are right or wrong, they are just viewed from different angles, just like a cow eats grass, a wolf eats a cow, can you say right or wrong? It is not possible to say who is right and who is wrong, everything is just based on the difference in their position. ”

Shen Xun pondered Li Yu's words, thought for a while, and said, "Then according to your words, how will you choose?" ”

Li Yu said, "I don't make choices, I only do what I think is right." ”

Shen Xun suddenly realized after hearing this, "So if you don't make a choice, you are actually right about things and not people, you don't think of yourself as one faction, and you don't stand on any of them, as long as you feel right at the moment, you will do it, no matter which side." ”

Li Yu smiled, he knew that Shen Xun would definitely understand, and Shen Tang also understood after hearing it, and said, "Although it's a bit winding, I understand, Xiao Yu'er means to say, everything should be listened to your heart!" ”

After Zhou Ce listened to the words of the three of them, although he had some understanding, he still couldn't make up his mind what to do, Li Yu saw this, and planned to take the last dose of fierce medicine, "Do you think the city lord is good to you?" ”

Zhou Ce said without the slightest hesitation, "Of course it's good." ”

Li Yu continued his words, "One is the city lord who is good to you, and the other is the person you don't like, no matter what position and heart you have, you will choose to stand on the side of the city lord." ”

Zhou Ce was embarrassed and said, "I said so, but I ......"

Li Yu added another fire and said, "We don't know what the inside story is about the central stele, but since they let you investigate, they must have wanted to learn something from the stele, although I don't know, it doesn't mean that the city lord doesn't know, now that someone wants to do something under his nose, don't you want to remind the city lord to let him be careful?" ”

Having said this, Zhou Ce's face became solemn, he really hadn't thought about it before, he didn't expect that the matter they asked him to inquire about would affect the city lord, or maybe there was such a guess, but after all, the other party was a child the same size as him, so he wouldn't think much about it.

But now that he was reminded by Li Yu like this, he felt more and more that something was wrong.

"You're right, I really didn't think about it thoroughly before, thinking that they were just curious, but since they came to me for help so unwillingly, there must be something unknown in this."

Seeing that Zhou Ce finally figured it out, Li Yu finally put his mind at ease.

Yes, in addition to helping Zhou Ce solve this difficult matter, at the same time, he also wanted to relieve the pressure on his master.

Although his master didn't say much, the day when he could sense that Tianmen Town was not peaceful was estimated to come soon, and this not peaceful factor would definitely be related to the five major families in Tianmen Town. If the city lord can be jealous of the family in Tianmen Town, or if he is wary, then the pressure on his master will definitely be less.

Forgive him for calculating Zhou Ce.

Li Yu has always known in his heart that he is not a gentleman or a good person, but what he wants to do is always just to protect the people and things he cares about.

In order to achieve this, he does not mind using scheming and means.

This matter was settled, and it was over, but what he didn't expect was that three days later, Zhou Ce personally came to him, handed him a token, and said with a complicated expression, "This is what Uncle Zhang asked me to give you, saying that with this token, you can freely enter and exit the library of the City Lord's Mansion." ”

Li Yu didn't answer, turned his head and looked at the Taoist, who was also next to him at this time, and said with a smile, "The elder gives, you shouldn't resign, you can accept it." ”

Li Yu accepted it after hearing this. Before Zhou Ce left, he asked him, "Do you need me to call you next time I go?" ”

Li Yu thought for a while and said, "It's okay." That's troublesome Brother Zhou. ”

After Zhou Ce left, Li Yu told the Taoist about the possibility that the city lord would give him a token, and the Taoist didn't care much after hearing it, only said to Li Yu, "Xiao Yu'er, you live well, you don't have to think too much about other things, everything is with the master, just rest assured." ”

I don't know why, Li Yu listened to the Taoist comforting him like this, he was always uncomfortable, he wanted to do something, but he was helpless and lackluster, so he could only listen to the words of the Taoist honestly, but he also secretly planned in his heart that he must become stronger as soon as possible, and only by becoming stronger can he protect the person he wants to protect.

Cold comes and summer, winter goes to spring, what Li Yu does on the way to practice, in addition to reading the scriptures every day and practicing the sword technique taught to him by the Taoist, is to find a way to practice the dragon ball, and strive to make the dragon spirit transform as soon as possible.

The sea has also become a place where he feels like no one, and as long as he does not go into the deep sea, he is even more at ease in the sea.

Seven years passed in a hurry, and at dawn of this day, he broke through the water in the sea, returned to the land and looked at the rising sun in front of him, his eyes revealed a sense of fortitude, and he did not move despite the wind and rain.
