The two walked through the Xiaoluoxia Peak, and Xu Huaigu took Ruyu to the Daluoxia Peak at dusk, and after seeing the beautiful sunset scene that is rare in the world, Ruyu was also deeply shocked.

It was dark, and the two returned along the road. kept walking back into the bamboo building, and the person who was secretly following behind him still didn't show up.

Ruyu was puzzled, and wanted to find out the person and ask what happened, but Xu Huaigu stopped him, still pretending that nothing had happened, and returned to the bamboo building.

After entering the bamboo building, the two sat down behind closed doors. Ruyu was puzzled and asked him, "Why didn't Mr. let me find that person?" Xu Huaigu poured the tea and shook his head and said: "Don't worry, that person followed us all the way, during which I deliberately showed several flaws, she didn't move, there should be no malice towards us." We just need to know why she is following us, just keep waiting, if we find her, we may not be able to ask her purpose. Ruyu nodded and said, "Then it will be according to what Mr. said." Xu Huaigu casually smiled and chatted: "You have been following us for so long, and you have seen a lot of the etiquette rules of the human race, and I have learned a lot, and I am very pleased to be a gentleman." There is only one thing, but I have never seen you laugh, don't the demon clan laugh? Ruyu paused and replied seriously: "Mr. Hui, the demon clan just laughs less, not that they can't laugh." Besides, these days, I don't think there's anything to laugh about, so I haven't laughed. Xu Huaigu nodded abruptly and said, "It must be that you haven't experienced the beauty of human life." Ruyu replied: "Mr. Hui, I will study seriously." Xu Huaigu shook his head and said with a smile: "Rules and etiquette can be learned, but emotions are difficult to learn." is smiling on his face, but not smiling in his heart, it is just a fake smile and a sneer, it is better not to laugh. ”

"So what should I do?"

"Don't worry, sooner or later you'll be genuinely smiling. When that day comes, it will be time for you to truly recognize the Terrans. Ruyu nodded and said, "Okay." Xu Huaigu poured a cup of tea, handed it to him, and said with a smile: "Drink tea, you should rest early." If you can't sleep, you can go for a walk in the mountains, but remember to hide your breath so that no one will find out. After all, several months have passed, and Ruyu has used her actions to make Xu Huaigu let down a lot of guard, so Xu Huaigu doesn't control him much now.

Thinking that when Xu Huaigu was young, he didn't accept the discipline of Mr. Private School, and now let him manage Ruyu, he also feels that it is not good to manage too much, and he should leave more room for the child to play by himself, so that the child who is cultivated in this way has aura.

Ruyu took the tea and thanked him, and Xu Huaigu blew the lamp and went upstairs. That night, he didn't plan to sleep, but prepared to meditate and practice for the night.

Not only this night, but every night in Qingfeng Valley in the future must be hurried, so as to gain more time and stabilize the realm before ascending to the Zixia Sect.

Besides, Yu Qin is also practicing retreat, so it is not interesting for him to sleep alone. Downstairs, although Xu Huaigu allowed Ruyu to go out for a walk in the mountains, he was still thinking about who the people behind the two of them were today and what their purpose was, so he stayed in the bamboo building all night and did not go out.

There was nothing to do at night, so I won't mention it for now. …… In the early morning of the next day, Xu Huaigu opened his eyes and woke up from his cross-seating.

Now with his realm of the Eight Realms, one night's cultivation can be described as a drop in the bucket. As the night passed, he felt that his gains were almost negligible.

If it is said that the aura that needs to be accumulated to break through the Eight Realms and the Nine Realms is like a lake, then the benefits brought by a night's cultivation are only a few drops of rain.

Xu Huaigu has realized what it means to be struggling, the higher the realm, the more difficult it is for people to break through the realm.

But even if it's just a few drops of water, you have to stick to it. Cultivation can take hundreds of years of hard work, and it is by no means something that can be achieved overnight.

If Xu Huaigu was in a hurry and impetuous, he would not have been able to have the cultivation of the Eight Realms at such a young age.

When encountering creation, the realm of destruction will naturally come naturally, but now that there is no creation at the door, it can only rely on the accumulation of time.

Reading the book, Xu Huaigu took a few deep breaths, picked up his sword, got up, walked to the door of Yu Qin's retreat, felt the breath in the door a little, it was quite stable, and then relieved.

So he still went downstairs, but saw Ruyu still sitting at the table from yesterday, her eyes half-narrowed, and she was napping.

Perhaps because of the danger of the demon domain, the demon clan was very alert when they slept, and the appearance of squinting their eyes and napping like this was the deepest time Xu Huaigu had ever seen Ruyu sleep, and most of the time he couldn't see him sleep at all.

Xu Huaigu didn't bother him, only took a light step, walked to the window, and glanced out. The weather is nice today, not foggy like yesterday.

The snow had melted, it was still early, and the sun was hidden in the clouds, faintly like a sunny day. Xu Huaigu swept over the road and saw several sword disciples who were going to inspect the outer mountains, and walked out while laughing.

There was a young girl who caught Xu Huaigu's attention, and it was the girl who took them to Li Siqing's house yesterday.

I don't know if it was coincidence or deliberate, she passed by Xu Huaigu's bamboo building again today. She said something to the slightly taller senior brother beside her, and the senior brother nodded, and she left the team patrolling the mountain, looked around on the road, and finally looked at Xu Huaigu's bamboo building.

Xu Huaigu looked at it carefully, and saw that the little girl had a beautiful braid today, her eyebrows seemed to have been drawn, and her cheeks were covered with a thin layer of peach pollen, white and red, which was very beautiful.

He couldn't help but smile. The girl took out a small bronze mirror from her cuff, looked at the mirror carefully, then took the mirror, looked at Xu Huaigu's bamboo building twice, and wandered around casually.

Xu Huaigu smiled secretly in his heart, how does this girl know where he lives? I think that most of the people who followed them yesterday were this quirky little girl.

"What are you looking at, sir?" Ruyu didn't know when she woke up and stood behind Xu Huaigu.

Xu Huaigu didn't answer him, only pointed out the window, so he also looked out of the window. He also saw the familiar figure at a glance, and couldn't help asking, "Why is she again?" So coincidentally? Xu Huaigu smiled slightly: "Whether it's a coincidence or not, it's hard to say." Ruyu thought about it for a while, and immediately understood, and said, "What does Mr. mean, is it that the person who followed us yesterday was her?" But we have not sinned against her, what is she doing with us? Xu Huaigu smiled: "I already have almost a number in my heart." You make tea first, and after drinking tea, we'll go to her. Ruyu nodded in agreement, and began to bring water to make tea.

It took some effort to make a fire, and Xu Huaigu kept standing by the window to watch her. I saw that the girl was still patient at first, and just pretended not to care and wandered around.

When she got to the back, she didn't see any movement in Xu Huaigu's bamboo building after a long time, so she was obviously a little depressed, and looked over here again and again, and seemed to want to come forward and knock on the door several times, but she thought about it for a while, but she still walked away.

Xu Huaigu watched the girl's every move with interest, Ruyu also made tea, and after the two of them drank it, Xu Huaigu said: "Let's go out for a walk, you follow me, just pretend not to know the girl, you know?" Ruyu nodded, so Xu Huaigu opened the door, only pretending not to see the girl, and walked down the mountain road without squinting.

However, the corner of his eye looked over, and he saw that she hurriedly straightened her sideburns again, and then she walked leisurely, and also walked up the mountain road and came up.

Two people went down the mountain and one person went up the mountain, which is similar to the scene yesterday. Xu Huaigu walked down and was about to meet her head-on.

The two looked at each other, Xu Huaigu nodded slightly and smiled at her, the girl smiled in return, but kept looking behind Xu Huaigu, Xu Huaigu just didn't see it, slowly passed by her, and didn't speak.

The girl saw Xu Huaigu passing by her, but she didn't speak, so she couldn't help but be a little anxious, and turned her head and asked, "Where are you going, do you want me to show you the way?" Xu Huaigu smiled: "Thank you for the kindness of the girl, we just went around, and we didn't specify where to go." The girl took the opportunity to ask, "Where do you come from?" Speaking of which, our sect doesn't receive outsiders very much now, but when I saw that there were still people who arranged a place for you to live, I wondered which sect you were friends with? Xu Huaigu replied: "There is no sect, it's just wild cultivation." In the early years, I had some friendship with your valley master, but now that I have revisited the old place, I will inevitably be invited into it and see two faces. The girl bowed her head and said to herself, "Lord of the valley...... Then do you want to go to her, I know where she is, and I can show you the way. Xu Huaigu smiled and said: "No need, Lord Xie Gu should be busy with affairs now, and I won't bother the little people like her, just walk around at will." The little girl was a little disappointed, and opened her lips slightly, as if she wanted to say something, but she didn't say anything more.

Xu Huaigu asked her with a smile: "It's only been a few days since I entered the valley, and I've already met the girl several times, and it's fate, so I take the liberty to ask the girl's name?" The girl seemed to have been preparing for a long time, and she had already conceived the answer in her heart, and blurted out at this time: "Chen Qi, my father's surname is Chen, and my mother's surname is Qi, so it's called this name." "The surname is Qi, which is not a common surname.

Xu Huaigu replied with a smile: "In Xia Xu Huaigu, it can be regarded as knowing Miss Chen." But Chen Qi didn't care what Xu Huaigu's name was at all, she just wanted to know the name of the child of the same age who was following Xu Huaigu, so she raised her chin and turned behind him and asked, "What about him?" Xu Huaigu turned his head to look at Ruyu and said, "You say it yourself." Ruyu glanced up at Chen Qi, paused, and replied, "My name is Ruyu." Chen Qi stared at his eyes, smiled when he heard it, and said, "You lie to people, there is no surname such as in this world at all." Ruyu replied, "But that's exactly what I call it." Xu Huaigu also said: "This child was originally an orphan, and he has been following me since then, and he doesn't even know his name. I gave him one, and it was called Ruyu, so he didn't have a surname. Ruyu looked at Xu Huaigu with some confusion.

It is said that the etiquette of the human race can't lie and deceive people, why is his own husband making up lies better than himself? Could it be that there is some other reason in it, he will have to inquire when he goes back.

When Chen Qi heard this, his expression moved slightly, and he said, "So that's the case." Xu Huaigu accosted: "Miss Chen, do you know where Zhujian Mountain is?" I suddenly remembered that there seemed to be a sword stone there, very mysterious, could the girl take us to see it? Chen Qi said with some regret: "Originally, there was, but then I heard that the sword intent in it was eaten by an outsider, so now it is just an ordinary stone, and now few people have passed it anymore." Xu Huaigu said with a smile: "It's okay, let's just go and see for a long time, it doesn't matter if there is sword intent or not." Chen Qi was naturally happy to get acquainted with them, so he agreed with a smile: "Okay, I'll show you the way." A few people walked out a few steps, but Xu Huaigu suddenly stopped and said with a smile: "Oh, look at my memory." I suddenly remembered that Lord Xie Gu had something to do with me today, I have to go to her quickly, I guess I can't go with you to see the Sword Stone. Chen Qi glanced at Xu Huaigu in surprise, Xu Huaigu pretended not to see, but lowered his head and said to Ruyu: "Ruyu, you accompany Miss Chen to Zhujian Mountain for a walk, I won't go with you if I have something, just remember to come back after dark." Ruyu was stunned for a moment, and said hurriedly: "Sir? Then I'll go with you too. Xu Huaigu shook his head and said, "I have something to talk about with Lord Xie Gu, what are you going to do?" Miss Chen is kind-hearted, don't let her down. After hearing this, Chen Qi was secretly happy in his heart, and looked at Ruyu twice, and the corners of his mouth smiled a little.

Xu Huaigu spoke, and Ruyu had to agree stubbornly: "Yes, sir." ”

"Alright, let's go, have fun, remember to come back after dark." Xu Huaigu also smiled and admonished,

"Miss Chen, my student is bored, you can talk to him more and take care of him more." Chen Qi is a lively and agile person, so he naturally responds with his mouth, and his steps are much brisker.

Ruyu looked very nervous, and turned around in two steps, but Xu Huaigu only stood in place, smiling and urging them to leave quickly.

After the two of them walked away, Xu Huaigu was still smiling so much that he couldn't stop laughing. A woman appeared behind him at some point, walked to his side lightly, and said with a smile: "You deserve to be good this month, but you use me as a shield, when did I say that I have something to do with you today?" ”
