The Yilan Sect covers a vast area, and all the mortal towns located in the vicinity are within its protection.

If there is a demon in the world, the sect will send someone down the mountain to eliminate the demon as soon as possible.

Mortals are grateful for the protection of the immortals, but they can't give any good gifts to thank the immortals - so there is a seasonal lantern festival.

They set off fireworks in the night sky, and the best craftsmen worked together to carve huge and ornate lanterns, praying that they would light up the lonely sky for the immortals.

Bad news: The distance is too far, and when you look at it from the distance of Yilan Sect, whether it is a big lantern or a big firework, you can only see small stars.

Good news: Every time the lantern festival is held, there will be disciples of the sect who take leave to play, and the thoughts of mortals are not wasted.

"So, did you agree to go see the lanterns?"

Yin Wan brushed the snow off the shoulders of the little apprentice and opened his mouth quietly.

Chu Yu nodded: "Hmm! Let's go tonight. ”

Originally, I thought that I only needed to promise to see the lanterns, and I could go or not, but I didn't expect that there would be follow-up tasks.

[Go to Lotus Leaf Town for an appointment, and wait for at least an hour (0/1)]

Yin Wanci told her before: If you want to leave the sect in the future, it is best to say hello to him in advance.

What the master said, Chu Yu has always been able to listen to.

She obediently informed her of the itinerary and promised to go home before dark.

Yin Wanci was still not at ease, he was silent for a moment, and said euphemistically:

"Zhaozhao, there are many disciples of the same age as you in the sect, if you want to go to the outside town, you can go with them."

She agreed, looking in a good mood: "Okay! This time by all means. ”

Yin Wanci's expression was complicated.

I didn't want my apprentice to be involved with this person anymore, and I couldn't bear to forcibly refuse, seeing her disappointed eyes.

During this period of time, Xianjun has been quietly inquiring about the news.

Even more concerned about Song Chengjin's situation than Chu Yu, who didn't care about it :)

Therefore, he learned that the other party did seem to be reflecting, and he was sincerely grateful to Zhaozhao.

Despite this, Yin Wanci was still dissatisfied with him.

This man once made his apprentice's eyes red, and in his case, it was not enough.

Seeing the little apprentice's relaxed face, Yin Wanci finally nodded.

"Go ahead."

His voice was soft: "Come back early." ”

*

"Ah Jin ...... today Are you going out again? ”

In the next town not far from Lotus Leaf Town, the embroidered hand of the plain-clothed woman paused, and looked up at the young man who came out of the back room.

The man was dressed in brocade and wore a royal blue sash with gold thread around his waist.

He hadn't dressed up like this for a long time, and at first he was a little uncomfortable, but after pacing around the house for two weeks, he gradually found a familiar feeling.

"Hmm." Song Chengjin said: "Go and thank our benefactor." ”

Bai Yuanyuan put down the embroidery in his hand and asked softly:

"Or go to the Chu girl you said?"

"It's her." Song Chengjin didn't know what he thought, and laughed at himself: "People are big celebrities in Yilan Sect, and I don't know if they will like the lanterns in the world." ”

"If you have a heart, you should like it."

"I hope so."

Song Chengjin didn't have much hope: "Sister, you don't know her, she is completely a spoiled Miss Xianmen." ”

"The last time I went to thank her, she also ignored her and said that she was unpleasant and angry with me...... It's the first time I've seen a woman with such a bad personality. ”

“……”

Song Chengjin didn't pay attention to Bai Yuanyuan's silence, and since he opened the chatterbox, he complained to this closest sister:

"They are all female cultivators, why is Sister so gentle, she is so willful."

"He is the apprentice of the Immortal Monarch, and he is a woman......"

Bai Yuanyuan sighed: "Ah Jin let her more." ”

"Woman?" Song Chengjin remembered the days when Chu Yu slashed him with a sword in the name of guidance, and frowned: "Ordinary women are not as fierce as her, don't hide it from Sister, I still have a few scars on my back." ”

He wanted to say something more, but Bai Yuanyuan beside him suddenly fell to the ground.

"Sister!"

Song Chengjin's pupils suddenly constricted, and he trembled his hand to probe her snort: "What's wrong with you?" ”

It's okay, and breathing.

Bai Yuanyuan lay in his arms, angry: "Xu is the fire lotus and my body...... There's some conflict, it's okay, leave me alone. ”

How could Song Chengjin ignore her, he immediately picked her up horizontally and went to the Yilan Sect's medical cultivator to save her life.

"You don't have to go." Bai Yuanyuan opened his eyes with difficulty: "It's not a big problem, it's good to recuperate at home." ”

"It's a long way to go to Yilan Sect, I may ...... The body will not be able to bear it. ”

"Okay, I'll listen to you."

Seeing that the sister who cared most about in the world was so uncomfortable, Song Chengjin's heart was about to break.

He stood at the front of the hospital bed and handed out tea and water, from noon to twilight.

After Bai Yuanyuan fell asleep, Song Chengjin's tense heart finally fell halfway.

Looking at the night sky outside that was gradually darkening, and the sporadic lights, he suddenly remembered that in the Lotus Leaf Town next door, Chu Yu seemed to be waiting for him there.

……

Otherwise, forget it.

Yuan Yuan was so sick that he really couldn't leave her at home alone.

And......

And Chu Yu is a girl like Chu Yu who has a lot of friends and stars holding the moon, even if she didn't come to the appointment today, she shouldn't be very disappointed.

Song Chengjin almost subconsciously found a reason for himself. He stared at his sister on the bed, still full of concern.

But a faint thought, which he hadn't even noticed, drifted to the brightly lit Lotus Leaf Town.

- That grumpy Miss Xianmen must be stomping her feet and angry with him at this time.

*

Chu Yu held a cat head lantern in one hand, a sugar gourd in the other, and a wreath made of unknown wildflowers on the top of his head, happily walking through the bustling crowd.

"Oops-"

There were too many people at the festival, and she was accidentally bumped, and the sugar gourd she had just bitten fell on the embroidered butterfly skirt.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry......"

It was a little beggar who didn't look very old, and he was very well-behaved with his head down.

"It's okay." Chu Yu smiled softly: "But can you give me back the purse?" I only exchanged so much silver. ”

“……”

The little beggar was startled, and took a few steps back in a hurry, only to find that the purse that had just arrived had been taken back by the girl at will.

"Can I not report to the police? I had no choice but to do it...... I—I haven't eaten for three days. ”

Chu Yu looked at each other sympathetically.

She is very familiar with this kind of talk, but who made her feel good today, not only did she not care, but even kindly suggested to him:

"Next time you want to steal something, go to Flower Street to steal, it's very convenient to start there."

Little Beggar: ......

Vendors setting up stalls on the side: ......

Chu Yu was beautiful and had an approachable smile on her face, and the peddler wanted to remind her that the thief was a habitual offender, but the words were choked back to her mouth.

"The girl has such a good temper."

The peddler laughed dryly twice and changed the angle of the conversation.

"Indeed, indeed." Chu Yu agreed.

When she grew so big, she was praised for her beauty and kindness.

No one ever said she had a bad temper.

After a small episode, she happily continued to hang out.

It was the first time she participated in the Lantern Festival, and since she came, she naturally had to experience all the delicious and fun things.

Originally, she made an appointment with Ji Yunge, but unfortunately she has been busy refining pills recently, and Chu Yu can only regretfully be alone.

happily played until the willows on the moon, and the system in her brain finally couldn't help but remind her.

[Host, don't forget that you still have to be sad for an hour.] 】

Oh, what a hassle.

Chu Yu went from happily nibbling on the sugar man to gnashing his teeth on the sugar man.

"Let me ask you, do you think I'm good to Song Chengjin."

The system is up and running.

Although Chu Yu's actions are different from the original book, there are other reasons, not to mention that he also helped the male protagonist get the fire lotus.

[The host is really good to the male master! ] It sighed.

"And what about him?" Chu Yu was aggrieved: "I was so good to him, he also released my pigeon and left me a girl in a strange place, doesn't my heart hurt?" ”

【……】

The system was asked.

The program it was originally set was very simple: the female protagonist was to be good to the male protagonist according to the plot.

But what the host said doesn't seem to be without reason.

It was burned by complex logic again, and Chu Yu could even hear the sound of electricity in his head.

"If you can't think of it, don't force yourself."

Her tone was extremely gentle.

"You only need to understand one thing."

[Host, you say!] 】

"You're my system, you're going to be right with me."

"I'm very disappointed in Song Chengjin now, so if I do something else later, it will be understandable."

Thinking of the male protagonist's golden finger, Chu Yu Chunliang smiled.

"Remember?"

……

After receiving the promise of the system, Chu Yu walked through the lively mortal town with satisfaction, and walked to the stone bridge outside the town.

The Lantern Festival is not over yet, and a pair of loving couples walk side by side and light up lotus lanterns by the river.

I heard an ancient rumor in Lianye Town: if you can put river lanterns with your favorite person in the early morning of the Lantern Festival, the two will be able to last for a long time and never be separated.

The original owner already had a secret affection for Song Chengjin at this time, and waited under the stone bridge with tears in his eyes.

Of course, Chu Yu doesn't believe in this kind of thing, in her opinion, this kind of rumor is like the rumor circulating in the outside world, "I am the reincarnation of XX power, and now my cultivation is lost, if there is a Taoist friend who is willing to give me 50 spirit stones, I will be grateful for my ascension in the future", and the credibility is as high as 0.0001%.

The little couples are in pairs, like glue.

Chu Yu sat alone on the grass, bored picking up stones to play in the water.

She had already thought about it: when the task was completed, she would go to eat the wontons of the third house on the street, and she would also play lantern riddles.

Perhaps her expression management is too good, and in just half an hour, three or four passers-by have stopped to care.

"Little sister, it's cold at night, let's go home quickly."

The woman with the child in her arms walked over and back.

"It's okay."

The girl smiled sadly, like a fragile butterfly lost in the night: "Thank you, sister, don't worry about me." ”

The woman's brow furrowed even tighter.

There are inseparable men and women everywhere, and she is the only one here alone, and I don't know if she is trapped by love.

The woman continued: "It's so dark that it's not safe to be outside. ”

Under the fireworks in the sky, the girl's back was a little lonely.

"I ...... Wait. ”

"Oh, don't wait."

The woman said, "It is all too late, and the man you are waiting for will not come." ”

She was about to say something, when she suddenly saw a rather handsome man walking from the other side of the stone bridge.

The visitor was dressed in a snow-blue robe, almost melting into the cold mist of the winter night, and the light gray pupils were clean and clear, like ice and snow.

He approached step by step, with a coldness that rejected people thousands of miles away, as if he had come to the world from a distant heaven.

The riverside, which was not quiet, became audible and Chu Yu turned his head, his eyes trembling slightly.

Yin Wanci stopped beside her, stretched out a hand, and spoke softly.

"I'm sorry."

"I'm late."
