The old man on the other side of the kitchen looked at the direction of the courtyard door and opened his eyes wide, the pupils in his eyes were slightly dilated, and the figure at the door was a little unfamiliar, but it was so familiar.

And the voice coming from the courtyard gate seemed to carry a melody, which made the old man see himself in a trance, and also flashed the various experiences after that.

"Mr. Yi, Master Qitian."

The old man stood up with the stove in his hands, walked to the kitchen door, and looked at the two people who had already entered the courtyard gate in a daze.

But for so many years later, Mr. Yi is still the same as he was back then, but the old man surprisingly did not feel too surprised, even if the former Mr. Yi seemed to have grown old on the Yi family's side.

Yi Shuyuan groaned softly in his mouth and gradually stopped, and walked into the courtyard with a smile on his face.

In Yi Shuyuan's eyes, Ah Fei at this moment was also the same as he was in the snowy mountains back then, with a glint in his eyes, and then gradually this figure coincided with today's old state.

"What, we're not welcome in?"

Yi Shuyuan joked like this, and the old man woke up like a dream, and his expression was a little excited.

Over the years, there have been few things that have made the old man so excited.

"Hurry up, sir, Heavenly Master, please come in quickly, the water will be boiling soon!"

The old man invited the two of them into the inner room with neat steps, but the layout of this room was destined to be darker inside, Yi Shuyuan simply moved two stools from the inside and handed one to Qi Zhongbin.

The master and apprentice were sitting under the eaves outside the house, and they happened to be able to watch Ah Fei prepare for the fire.

When the old man returned to the kitchen, the water in the pot was already boiling, and he scooped up the boiling water and poured it into the prepared teapot first, and the smile on his face was never put away.

Today, I knew that the guest was coming, but I didn't know who the guest was, I really didn't expect it to be such a surprise!

The stools were all moved out, and the old man simply moved out a small table, with a teapot and a teacup on it, and even found refreshments, some of which were still left by the previous group of Jianghu people.

"Mr. Yi, Heavenly Master, please use tea!"

The old man personally poured tea for the two, while Yi Shuyuan patted the corner of the bench he was sitting on and motioned for Ah Fei to come and sit, and the latter did not shirk and sat aside.

Since the summer solstice of the Dragon Palace in the South China Sea, several months have passed since then, and the weather is sometimes cold and sometimes hot, and today is the cool time of autumn.

The tea cup can warm your hands, and the steaming tea brings up a burst of mist.

Yi Shuyuan actually has a lot of things to ask, ask Ah Fei why he didn't go home, ask Ah Fei why he didn't get married, ask Ah Fei what he has experienced over the years, and ask Ah Fei why he is here.

But these questions seem to be a little pale, and it seems that vaguely, Yi Shuyuan can also feel Ah Fei's somewhat complex emotions, which already contain the answers.

So when the words came to the lips, the words came out of the mouth and another question.

"Ah Fei, do you know we're coming?"

The old man held the teacup, smiled, nodded, and shook his head.

"I know that there are guests coming, but I don't know that Mr. Yi and Monkey Master are coming, by the way, I also reserved a fresh fish, which will be made for Mr. and Heavenly Master to eat!"

"That's great!"

Gray Mian's voice came out, and at the same time, he jumped out of Yi Shuyuan's collar and landed on the small table, and picked up a piece of cake by himself.

This voice made the old man look surprised, he had also seen the mink beside Mr. Yi, and Gray Mian turned his head to look at the old man.

"What, you don't know me anymore?"

"I know, but I don't know enough!"

Mai Lingfei had slashed demons back then, and he had not encountered some other strange things over the years, and he was mentally prepared to see monsters who could speak.

As he spoke, Ah Fei stood up and bowed to Ash Mian.

"In Xia Mai Lingfei, get to know Your Excellency again!"

This made Gray Mian slightly stunned, put down the food in his hand and patted his paws, and bowed back to Ah Fei.

"My name is Gray Mian, and I am the protector of the Qiankun lineage!"

"Dharma Protector?"

Ah Fei repeated it, while Qi Zhongbin on the side said with a smile.

"Mai Daxia, don't connect the gray predecessor with the locust demon back then, the two are not the same, the little mink in front of you can be imagined!"

In fact, Qi Zhongbin doesn't need to say so much, a sentence of "gray senior" is enough to explain the problem.

"Gray senior, please use tea!"

Mai Lingfei took another teacup and poured a cup of tea for Ash Mian alone, making Ash Mian also grin, it already had a good sense of Ah Fei, which would be even more favorable.

"You kid, no wonder Mr. values you!"

Hearing this, Yi Shuyuan was noncommittal, just smiled and looked at Ah Fei.

"How many years have you lived here?"

"Nine years"

"Do you know that your nephew's family has been looking for you?"

Hearing this, Ah Fei nodded slightly ashamedly.

"The rivers and lakes are dragging down, whether you have a heart or a desire, you won't disturb their peace, just treat Mai Lingfei as if she is dead!"

"Don't you want to find another heir?"

Yi Shuyuan said, picked up the teacup and blew off the tea foam and took a sip, the tea is a good tea, but it is also old tea, although he hasn't asked yet, but he knows that Ah Fei once had an apprentice.

Hearing this, a trace of reminiscence flashed in Ah Fei's eyes, which seemed to be slightly crystalline, and he didn't make a sound for a long time before shaking his head after a while.

"I don't want to look for it anymore, so as not to hurt anyone."

Yi Shuyuan stretched out his hand and patted Ah Fei's shoulder, and suddenly thought of the things in the snow mountain back then, and thought of the things before Ah Fei's clear heart was passed on.

"Over the years, have many people come to you and beg you to take him in front of you?"

When Ah Fei heard this, there was a trace of reminiscence on his face, and he remembered his former self, and couldn't help nodding slightly.

"There were a lot of people in the past, and some people have touched me, maybe they thought of their former self."

Saying that, Ah Fei looked at Yi Shuyuan again, when he was in Yuanjiang County, he had already thought that Mr. Yi might enter the Tao with martial arts.

Later, in the Zhenjun Temple in Lingdong, that feeling was even stronger, and when the Heavenly Master called Mr. Yi, he knew that it was not simple, and a martial arts competition outside the city allowed Ah Fei to see the excitement almost above the innate in advance.

Now goodbye Mr. Yi, everything is self-evident, the so-called immortals, maybe that's it.

It's just that for Ah Fei, he doesn't care too much about these now.

Qi Zhongbin just sat next to him and didn't speak, while Gray Mian took a sip of tea and took the initiative to speak.

"Mai Daxia, let's talk about the rivers and lakes over the years!"

"How can it be said in a moment? By the way, I'll deal with the fish! ”

Ah Fei got up and went to the kitchen to kill fish, and Yi Shuyuan's calm voice also came from behind.

"We're not in a hurry, just take your time!"

Ah Fei glanced back and nodded subconsciously, perhaps just like the poems that Mr. Yi chanted softly when he came, it is rare for a confidant to stay with a few people, and then look back and smell a smile and get drunk in a dream.

How many people are left in the world who can really sit down and talk?

Jianghu dream, dream Jianghu.

The first half of Mai Lingfei's life can be described as wonderful, with all the youthful gentleness and pride, and the end of the world!

It's just that there are proudness and frustrations in life, Ah Fei has always been a more emotional and righteous person, from the grassland to Dayong, from Dayan to the Western Regions, wherever he passed, the road was uneven and he often pulled out a knife to save him, and he would do something deeper.

When the land of Dayan was in chaos, Ah Fei stayed here for a long time, helped a lot of rebels, and even met his confidante once, and had the closest moment to happiness.

Now it's a thing of the past.

Perhaps this is also the reason why Ah Fei was somewhat disdainful of the so-called rebel army before, from his mouth, Yi Shuyuan learned that there were also two leaders of the rebel army killed by his own hands.

The years in the rivers and lakes urge people to grow old, and it is not only the simple passage of time that urges people to grow old, but also the various regrets in the rivers and lakes that make people sad.

The death of Hongyan is one of them, Chi Qinghu's death because of the righteous army is also one of them, and the death of his own disciple is also one of them

Even the Dayong Wulin Mai family, because of the innate realm, after all, the news came out, and then a series of things happened that made Ah Fei completely cold, which was also one of them.

"The so-called rivers and lakes are just like the rivers and lakes that fishermen can see by boating, there are days and nights, sunny days and wind and rain, and some things come unexpectedly"

Ah Fei has simply mentioned many things, and it seems that he has said a lot in just a few words.

But this is also a period of Mai Lingfei's life, in which there must be magnificent, thrilling, tender, and tranquil.

It's just that when he said it from Ah Fei's mouth at this moment, it seemed that he was quite calm, but the crystal that occasionally flashed in the depths of his eyes betrayed him, or, in front of Yi Shuyuan, Ah Fei's emotions had already been clearly presented.

Mai Lingfei is actually still the same Mai Lingfei, decades of wind and frost have made him change a lot, but there are some things that cannot be changed by time, at least some people.

Yi Shuyuan put down the teacup and stood up, and walked to the kitchen, at this moment Ah Fei had already processed the fresh fish.

"Would you like to meet them?"

Ah Fei was slightly stunned and turned his head to look at Yi Shuyuan.

"Who did the gentleman say he was going to see?"

"See what you think, see what you love!"

Outside, Qi Zhongbin looked into the distance outside the courtyard.

Someone over there seemed to have turned back again, it was Ban Yuguang who should have left a long time ago, and the two people by the river had just appeared a little strangely, and he was afraid that because of his stay and the others, he would affect the fisherman and the old man.

However, looking at the past from a distance at this moment, seeing someone sitting there drinking tea in the courtyard, it didn't seem to be unfavorable to people, and Ban Yuguang was slightly relieved in his heart.

But Ban Yuguang didn't leave immediately, but observed the trees in the distance for a while, and not long after, he saw a person coming out of the kitchen, one of the two people who had just been by the river.

It's just that at this moment, Ban Yuguang couldn't help frowning, not because he felt that the two of them were bad, but because he suddenly felt that he had missed something.

Thinking about it, pondering it, I suddenly felt as if the person had seen it somewhere, no, and it wasn't where I had seen it, because there was no familiar feeling, more like I had heard it somewhere.
