In the bamboo building, Xu Huaigu did not practice tonight, because he received a messenger flying sword at dusk.

This messenger flying sword came from the Meng Zhou master of the Xianzhou in Luoyun City, and the letter said that the Xianzhou was close to the east coast of Fuyao Island at this time, but it would be possible to arrive at Qingfeng Valley in two or three days.

The letter only informed Xianzhou's itinerary, and did not mention anything about the colorful bead money. Regarding the five hundred colored beads that the immortal boat needed to spend to set off in advance, Xu Huaigu wrote a letter and asked Wei Caiyi personally, and the answer he got was naturally no, at least not in this transaction with Xu Huaigu. Obviously, this is the rule set by the people below, if you want to fill your pockets, Xu Huaigu will not get used to it.

Anyway, Wei Caiyi already knew about this matter, and he didn't care about how she would deal with the owners and stewards of the two immortal boats at that time.

After receiving this flying sword, Xu Huaigu immediately notified Xie Qingyun. Xie Qingyun personally came to Xu Huaigu's bamboo building, about the escort of this last Xianzhou, the two still had some things to discuss, and they were not elsewhere, so they talked about it in detail in the bamboo building.

Fan Xuan and Yu Qin played chess on the first floor, while Xu Huaigu and Xie Qingyun were on the second floor.

In the middle of the night, there was a sudden knock on the door of the bamboo building.

Yu Qin went to open the door, and when she saw that it was Ruyu, she was startled at first, and then smiled: "You are back, and everything at the foot of the mountain has been dealt with?" ”

Ruyu nodded at her and said, "Sister Hui, everything has been taken care of, so Chen Qi and I will go up the mountain tonight." ”

Yu Qin smiled and invited him to come in and said, "It just so happened that I was playing chess with your sister Fan, so you can come and see it too?" ”

Ruyu followed her into the chess room, and Yu Qin still sat down in her original seat. She put away the smile on her face, looked at the chessboard that had been killed with a solemn expression, and said sadly: "Ruyu, you can show me, how should I play?" ”

However, Ruyu didn't have the heart to play chess tonight, he looked at it a little absent-mindedly, and asked, "What about Mr." Are you practicing? ”

"Your husband is upstairs. What, you're looking for him? ”

Ruyu nodded.

Yu Qin smiled: "Go, when you come back after running errands, you should report to him." ”

Ruyu left the chess room and walked upstairs. He heard someone talking in the room, so he knocked on the door, and a familiar voice came from inside.

"Please come in."

Ruyu pushed the door in, only to see that in addition to Xu Huaigu, there was also a woman sitting opposite him in the room. A candle was lit on the table in front of them, and a few papers were spread, and they were talking about something.

Ruyu had seen the woman several times, and naturally knew her, knowing that she was the valley master of Qingfeng Valley, named Xie Qingyun. Although Xie Qingyun looks very kind, perhaps because her realm is high enough, Ruyu has always been a little afraid of her.

Xu Huaigu saw that Ruyu had returned to the bamboo building, so he stopped his affairs and asked, "Why did you come back?" ”

Ruyu bowed her hand and said with a serious expression: "Mr. Hui, the matter in the town has come to an end, so the students are back." ”

Xu Huaigu nodded and said, "I didn't come back until the middle of the night so much, I guess I'm tired, you go and rest first." ”

Ruyu paused, still stood with her hands down, and didn't go out.

Xu Huaigu looked at him with some confusion and asked, "What's the matter, what's the matter?" ”

Ruyu bowed her head, not daring to look at him, but pleaded: "The student has a reluctant request." ”

"But it doesn't hurt to say it."

"Sir has made three chapters with me, one of which is that I cannot tell anyone who I am without my permission." Ruyu said this, and then she didn't continue.

Xu Huaigu nodded: "This is indeed the case." ”

Then the student thought, if the gentleman allowed it, could he tell someone else his identity?

Xu Huaigu was stunned for a moment.

You must know that not many people know about Ruyu's demon clan identity, except for the monks who participated in the border battle last year, it is estimated that few people know about it. At this time, everyone was in the middle domain, and his demon clan identity would only bring trouble, so Xu Huaigu did not allow him to reveal his identity. However, now that he actually asked about this in person, Xu Huaigu couldn't be suspicious.

However, he quickly reacted and asked rhetorically, "You said Chen Qi?" ”

Ruyu nodded.

Xu Huaigu didn't speak yet, but Xie Qingyun covered his mouth and laughed first.

Ruyu felt a little embarrassed and buried her head in silence.

Xu Huaigu thought it was a big deal, it was nothing more than telling Chen Qi a few words. The little girl knew them well, and it was okay if she knew. However, Ruyu firmly remembered those three rules, and remembered to ask herself, which is indeed rare.

Xu Huaigu smiled casually and said, "Go, Chen Qi can." But if you want to tell someone, you still have to talk to my husband first. ”

Ruyu breathed a sigh of relief, he bowed twice, and said, "Mr. Xie." ”

Xu Huaigu waved his hand and smiled: "Go, go, let's have a good time with Chen Qi in the past two days, and it will be rare to see each other a few times in the future." ”

Ruyu asked cautiously, "Sir, do you know when the Xianzhou will arrive?" ”

"I just received the news today, if it's fast, it's the night after tomorrow, if it's slow, it's the day after tomorrow, in short, there are only two or three days left."

Two or three days...... It's even faster than the agreed time. Ruyu was uneasy, only nodded, and hurriedly went out.

Xu Huaigu looked at his departing back, and thought of his expression just now, he wanted to smile, but somehow, for a moment, he suddenly seemed to see himself back then, and the smile on the corner of his mouth was only half of the smile, and then it froze on his face.

When he was separated from Yu Qin and went to Feiyu Island alone, why wasn't it so unforgettable? Not only this, but also the difference with Huang Shan, the death from Zuoqiu Xun, and the difference with Gu March...... There were many, many of them, and those memories still remain in his mind.

Life seems to be parting and reuniting all the time.

Xie Qingyun looked at Xu Huaigu curiously, thoughtfully, and didn't ask more.

When Xu Huaigu came back to his senses from his memories, he took a sip of tea, looked at Xie Qingyun opposite, smiled apologetically, and said, "Let's talk about Xianzhou." ”

Xie Qingyun also smiled, sorted out a few documents on the table, put them into the robes and put them away, and said, "The matter of Xianzhou has almost been negotiated, what else needs to be discussed?" In my opinion, you and I will not see each other for a long time, so why don't we talk about something else? ”

"What does the valley master want to talk about?"

Xie Qingyun took a sip of tea and asked, "Did you remember your original self just now?" ”

Xu Huaigu nodded, sighed, and said, "Yes, it seems to be exactly the same as me back then." ”

Xie Qingyun smiled and said, "It's not just with you, it's estimated that it's almost the same as everyone in the world." ”

Xu Huaigu echoed and smiled.

"You're all like this, and you all remind me of something from a long time ago."

Xu Huaigu was a little surprised, raised his eyebrows, and said, "It's rare to hear the valley master say such things, I would like to hear it in detail." ”

"Think beautifully." Xie Qingyun raised his hand, covered his mouth with his sleeves, and laughed hehehe, "It was more than a hundred years ago, and now I have forgotten what a person looks like, but I just have a vague impression, and there is nothing detailed." ”

She sighed self-deprecatingly, and smiled at Xu Huaigu: "Now that people are old, it's good to be able to survive in this world, how dare you think so much?" It's just a day to live. ”

Xu Huaigu said with a smile: "Even if the valley master says so, we can't even count ourselves as living." ”

Xie Qingyun smiled noncommittally, paused, and said, "Actually, there is something I have to tell you." ”

"Valley Lord, please speak."

"Liu Wan'er told me last night that she doesn't plan to go to Middle-earth with us."

Xu Huaigu asked, "Don't go to Middle-earth?" So where is she going? ”

"She has only just returned from Middle-earth, and she has not yet seen the demon clan attack the city, and now she has returned to Middle-earth, which seems too hasty. She planned to see the war and return to Middle-earth. ”

Xu Huaigu worried: "The battlefield is very dangerous, but it's not a joke, so the valley lord is not worried about her?" ”

"What's the use of worrying, children always have to grow." Xie Qingyun shook his head, and suddenly smiled at Xu Huaigu, "But I suddenly thought, if she can follow you, she should be able to see a lot of scenery in high places, right?" ”

Xu Huaigu was stunned for a moment, and said, "What does the valley master mean?" ”

"That's what you mean in your heart." Xie Qingyun said, "I want her to follow you north, you don't need to do anything or say anything, she just looks at it as a bystander." ”

"Now that Liu Wan'er's cultivation talent is becoming more and more top-notch, the Qingfeng Valley Pond is too small, she should see more scenery from higher places." Xie Qingyun's tone was mixed with a little helplessness, "I know that you have dealings with many great cultivators, and it will always be beneficial for her to follow you." ”

Xu Huaigu lowered his head in contemplation and hesitated.

It's not that Xu Huaigu doesn't want Liu Wan'er to follow him, it's just that the burden on his side is too heavy now. Yu Qin, Ruyu, Fan Xuan...... Add to that Liu Wan'er, it seems that there are too many people who need him to take care of them.

Seeing his hesitation, Xie Qingyun sighed and said, "The sword you promised me to give for Qingfeng Valley back then has already been paid off. I can't force you, and if you don't, then forget it. ”

"What does Liu Wan'er think of herself?"

"She actually wants to follow you for a while, but she's just too embarrassed to speak."

Xu Huaigu asked again: "But doesn't she want to see the demon clan attack the city?" I went north this way, but I went against the demon clan. ”

"So what? You are in the Fuyao Sect, and the demon clan will fight there sooner or later, so don't worry about it for a while. ”

Xie Qingyun could see that Xu Huaigu was worried, but she was still shy, hoping that he could accept Liu Wan'er. After all, if she followed her group to move to Middle-earth, she would only be the next sect master of Qingfeng Valley in the future, and she would be nothing in the vast Middle-earth. But if you can go with Xu Huaigu, there may be another opportunity. Xie Qingyun knew that Xu Huaigu even had dealings with several monks from the Eleventh Realm.

I hope Liu Wan'er can stand taller in the future, this is also her selfishness.

"If she wants to, there's nothing she can't do."

Xie Qingyun stood up, bowed his hand, and said solemnly: "Thank you, then I will tell her when I go back." ”

Xu Huaigu hurriedly stood up, helped her up, and said, "The valley master is really tormenting the juniors, how can I bear it." ”

Xie Qingyun smiled slightly.

Liu Wan'er, you are a kendo genius that Qingfeng Valley has never had, and I have done my best to win this opportunity for you. As for how far you can go in the future, it depends on your own creation.
