Following.

The white of the fish belly looms in the east, and the dawn gradually opens.

The day is getting clear.

At this time, Xu Ziyue had already gotten up from the bed, and he got up early today.

Ning Zhuo was still asleep on the bed, but he didn't see Qin Nian'an.

Xu Ziyue was a little puzzled, where could Brother Dong go so early?

He pushed open the door and walked outside, only to see Yiqiu walking in through the gate.

The two of them met each other.

Xu Ziyue wanted to say hello, but Yiqiu didn't stop for a moment and walked straight back to the room.

He stood in place, slightly embarrassed, stunned for a moment.

He suddenly realized that he was here to find Brother Dong, not only did Brother Dong get up so early, but even Yiqiu got up so early.

Isn't there a secret between the two?

Xu Ziyue thought of this, and tiptoed behind the gate.

He put his hands behind the door, his eyes lying on the gap between them.

But this thing is quite coincidental, he doesn't need any adjustments, he can just see Brother Dong outside the house.

Xu Ziyue saw the scene in front of him and stared at the boss.

He rubbed his eyes and looked out again.

He wasn't mistaken.

There was no secret in his heart outside the house, only a black-robed man wielding a sword at dawn.

At this dawn, the sky was still covered with a faint shade of gray, and a gentle breeze was blowing the earth.

After a long time, the black-robed man finally stopped his movements, and stood in place without moving, he seemed to be a little tired.

The dawn is shining over the land, the night is receding, and the mountains and trees are revealed.

The black-robed man raised his sword again, and the blade of the sword glowed with a cyan glow, and the tip of the sword cut through the rising morning light.

His movements flowed like a stream, and between the sword dances, it seemed as if the surrounding environment was silent.

Each swing of his sword was accompanied by a heavy breath, and the dancing sword rays together intertwined the most perfect arc in the world.

The grass beside him was filled with early morning dewdrops, and the breeze caressed the hair of the black-robed man, bringing a burst of fresh breath.

The black-robed man looked ahead, right in the direction of the gate.

His eyes revealed tenacity and determination, and Xu Ziyue could not understand the artistic conception in between.

As the light gradually brightened, the black-robed man's sword danced faster and faster, and the sword was like lightning, whirling and flying.

The sound of the sword that swept through the air was crisp and loud, like a birdsong in the morning light, which shook the entire Qinglian Valley.

Xu Ziyue recalled the birdsong that had been appearing in his sleep a few days ago, and suddenly realized that it was not a real birdsong.

The black-robed man fell to the grass after exhaustion, exactly the same scene that Xu Ziyue saw after waking up a few days ago.

Xu Ziyue was a little fascinated, and he stumbled and fell outside the door.

He smiled embarrassedly, but when he got up, he found that Qin Nianan didn't look at him at all.

How could Qin Nian'an not hear such a big movement, but he didn't have the strength to raise his head.

By the time he regained a little strength, Xu Ziyue was already sitting beside him.

Xu Ziyue looked into the distance and said to himself, "I'll just say it!" Brother Dong, you usually don't look special, how can you be quietly promoted to the eighth grade, I almost really think of you as a big man in the realm of self-slashing. It turns out that you are secretly practicing behind your back, but you really hide me so hard! ”

Qin Nianan didn't answer, and he didn't know if he didn't have the strength to answer, or he didn't know how to answer.

Fortunately, Xu Ziyue did not expect his answer.

Xu Ziyue put his hand into his arms and took out a dagger, which was the one that Qin Nian'an was particularly interested in before.

Qin Nian'an turned his head slightly and looked at the dagger that had been hidden by Xu Ziyue before.

The handle of the entire dagger is made of black texture, which is as calm and brilliant as obsidian.

Along the curved edge of the dagger, there is a slender and elegant serpentine curve, which is concave and convex, lifelike.

On the side of the hilt, a pair of eye-shaped rubies are inlayed, as if they were two fiery snake eyes, and the light shimmers.

This dagger exuded a chilling aura from all over its body, like a poisonous snake ready to attack.

Xu Ziyue stroked the dagger lightly and muttered, "Brother Dong can work so hard, I can't be left behind." ”

I don't know why, but when he said this, he suddenly fell silent.

Neither of them spoke, and the scene was quiet for a long time.

Xu Ziyue glanced at Qin Nian'an, as if he had made up his mind.

He first withdrew the dagger, and then said to Qin Nian'an, "You should stay here for another day or two, right?" I'm going to get out of here today. Of course, it's not that I don't like the atmosphere of staying with you, it's just that I'm a little too comfortable in this atmosphere, so comfortable that I have forgotten the feeling of desperateness. ”

Xu Ziyue exhaled a long breath and said seriously: "The more I, Xu Zi, want to make a name for myself in the rivers and lakes with my own strength." ”

Qin Nianan stared at Xu Ziyue intently, and said for the first time: "If it's not a last resort, who is willing to do their best, and I happen to have such a compelling reason, so what are you for?" ”

Xu Ziyue grinned, "I naturally have a reason for it, but I didn't feel that I had fallen much before, but now when I look back, I realize that I have been left so far behind." ”

Qin Nianan sighed, after all, Xu Ziyue had already followed them through a lot of places, but now he suddenly chose to leave, saying that he was not sorry must be self-deception.

But everyone should have their own choice, and Xu Ziyue is the same.

There is no need for Qin Nianan to give advice to Xu Ziyue from his own point of view, whether it is right or wrong, it is not very useful.

Just like what Qin Nian'an wants to do, it is not anyone's suggestion that can be changed.

So Qin Nian'an didn't continue to dwell on this question and asked, "When is it today?" ”

Xu Ziyue thought about it for a while and replied, "I think it's fine now." ”

"Not going to wait for them to get up and say goodbye? After all, they can be regarded as friends. ”

Qin Nian'an frowned, although he knew that Xu Ziyue would definitely leave, but he didn't think it would be now.

Xu Ziyue shook his head, "It's not a life and death, maybe there will be more opportunities to meet in the future, why do you need to say goodbye." ”

Qin Nian'an smiled and looked at him meaningfully.

Xu Ziyue's mind was suddenly seen through by Qin Nian'an.

He scratched his head and said helplessly: "The main thing is that I can't stand the parting scene, maybe if my heart softens, I won't have the courage to leave like now." ”

Qin Nianan pursed his lips and was noncommittal.

Xu Ziyue said that he couldn't stand the parting scene, and he believed it.

But to say that he didn't have the courage to leave, he wouldn't believe it anyway.

Don't look at Xu Ziyue's honest and honest appearance, he can't match Qin Nian'an's temperament at all.

But to some extent, he is the same as Qin Nian'an.

It's just as outrageous.

Qin Nian'an changed his words and asked, "What is the name of your dagger?" ”

Xu Ziyue was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect the topic to change so quickly.

One second it was still parting, and the next second it was on the dagger.

However, this question did make him excited, and said with a smile: "It's called Demon Snake, remember this name well, it will definitely be famous in the Weiyang Continent in the future." ”

Qin Nianan then laughed, "If you are really famous in the Weiyang Continent in the future, don't forget us." ”

Xu Ziyue stared at Qin Nian'an, his expression was serious, and he said with a straight face: "It's impossible to forget what you say." ”

Qin Nian'an nodded thoughtfully, and a smile inadvertently appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Xu Ziyue stood up after finishing speaking, and slowly stretched.

Qin Nianan also sat up and asked, "Ready to leave?" ”

Xu Ziyue didn't speak, just nodded.

Qin Nianan suddenly laughed, "It's here." ”

Xu Ziyue was a little puzzled, he didn't understand the meaning of Qin Nian'an's words, what was coming?

Qin Nianan pointed behind him.

Xu Ziyue looked back and saw Gu Qingyue running towards him.

Did you come to say goodbye to yourself?

That's not right, I obviously made a decision just now.

During the period when Xu Ziyue was stunned, Gu Qingyue had already run in front of him.

Xu Ziyue wanted to say something, but he didn't know where to start.

Gu Qingyue's face seemed a little surprised, and she said curiously, "Why did you get up so early today?" ”

"This ...... I ......"

Xu Ziyue stammered and couldn't speak, and finally could only ask, "Why did you get up so early." ”

Gu Qingyue puffed up her mouth and said angrily: "I've always gotten up so early, if you don't believe it, you can ask the big brother." ”

Xu Ziyue looked at Qin Nian'an, and he nodded in agreement.

Since Gu Qingyue first found out that Qin Nianan would lie on the grass early in the morning, she would run here on time every day.

Although she didn't know why Qin Nianan got up so early, since he didn't say it, then she didn't ask.

Every day after that day, she would be like Qin Nian'an, lying on the grass and beside him.

Xu Ziyue suddenly remembered Yiqiu who he met when he first got up, and said enviously: "Brother Dong, you are really uncomfortable these days, and you are desperate and there are people who take turns to accompany you." ”

Qin Nian'an showed a confused expression.

Gu Qingyue was a little anxious, and hurriedly changed the topic, "You haven't told me yet, why did you get up so early today." ”

Xu Ziyue was speechless when asked.

So Qin Nianan answered this question for him, "He's going to leave now, and he, Xu Ziyue, wants to go to the rivers and lakes by himself." ”

Gu Qingyue was shocked by the sudden news, and seemed to want to say something, but she wanted to stop talking.

Qin Nianan also said what she wanted to say for her, "I know you must be reluctant, do you want me to persuade you?" It's useless, he's already made his choice, and all we can do now is support him. ”

Gu Qingyue nodded as if she didn't understand.

Qin Nianan waved his hand to Xu Ziyue and said indifferently: "It's almost time, don't stay here to be an eyesore." ”

Xu Ziyue first glanced at Qin Nian'an, then at Gu Qingyue, then turned his head and walked into the distance.

He walked farther and farther away, and his figure gradually blurred.

Suddenly a shout came from behind, "You kid must make a name for yourself." ”

Xu Ziyue didn't look back and didn't answer.

I just said it silently in my heart.

"Yes."
