Before the cook left the Holy Palace, he had a very important exchange with Su Wen.

It was in that exchange that the cook gave Su Wen Wangguilou, and it was also in that exchange that he talked about Su Wen's mother, Su Wen's attitude towards the demons and demons, and the saint.

But the most important thing is that in the end, the cook gave Su Wen a piece of advice.

He told Suwen that when he decided to leave the Afang Palace, he must take the people who were most important to him at any cost, and not let them spend their lives in this cold palace.

Otherwise, Su Wen will definitely regret it.

But until that moment before, Su Wen hadn't decided what he should do.

Is there anyone in the Holy Palace who is very important to Su Wen now?

Of course!

Whether it is Mu Xi or Ning Qingbing, they have already occupied an unbreakable position in his heart, and no one can erase it!

However, Su Wen was not a machismo, and he didn't want to interfere with Mu Xi and Ning Qingbing's inner decisions because of his own reasons.

If he forcibly took the two away because he was afraid that he would regret it, with Su Wen's strength now, of course he could do it, but if he didn't regret it, would Mu Xi and Ning Qingbing regret it?

Su Wen didn't know.

So he wanted to hear the wishes of the two of them, and if they were willing to follow ♂ the →, w@ww to go by themselves, of course it would be best, if they were unwilling......

"If you don't want to, I won't force it!"

Su Wen's gaze was very resolute, and in the end, he still did not listen to the cook's advice. But he made a choice that he thought he should make.

That's what goes with your heart.

Then Mu Xi smiled lightly.

In the past month and a half in Afang Palace, Mu Xi has lost a lot of weight. The cold aura on his body became a little heavier, but at this moment. The coldness on her body seemed to melt quietly with the winter snow.

It's like a night of spring breeze, and thousands of trees and pear blossoms are blooming.

"Good. ”

Mu Xi's reply to Su Wen was only one word, but it was firmer than Su Wen, and the smile in her eyes was brighter than pear blossoms.

So the stone that Su Wen had been pressing in his heart finally fell halfway.

Then he turned around, pulled Mu Xi's slightly cool palm, and walked towards the other side of the divine book.

But before he could walk to Ning Qingbing's side, a figure took the lead and stopped in front of him, it was an old man. The body is crumbling, as if it will fall at any moment, but it will never fall.

He has been standing in this holy palace for a full ninety-six years.

He is Yao Yichuan, the first leader of the first Ten Nations Joint Entrance Examination, and the first person to see the Book of God when he was still in the realm of study.

And now he is already a half-saint.

Facing Yao Yichuan's obstruction, Su Wen raised his eyebrows in some surprise and didn't wait for him to speak. Then I heard the old man's voice coming like a leaky wind drum.

"Su Shengcai, please come with me, I have something to say to you. ”

Hear me. Su Wen's brows furrowed a little tighter, because Yao Yichuan's attitude towards him had changed so much, why was this!

Su Wen's reaction fell into the old man's eyes. He wasn't surprised, so he said something next.

"Don't forget. I'm also from Jekoku. ”

Yao Yichuan's use of the word "also" was a little subtle, but it immediately made Su Wen understand the reason for the other party's expression today.

Seemingly. Su Shi had already informed the old man of his identity.

Thinking of this, Su Wen turned around and said to Mu Xi: "You wait for me here, I'll come when I go." ”

After finishing speaking, Su Wen finally took another step, followed behind Yao Yichuan, and soon went around to the back of the Divine Book, where there was a simple wooden bed and a wooden table.

This is where Yao Yichuan has lived for the past ninety-six years, I don't know why, when Su Wen saw this scene, he didn't feel shabby, but felt an incomparably solemn meaning.

This was followed by an inexplicable pity.

This old man has dedicated his whole life to the Book of God, to this cold palace, his family has not waited for him to return home all his life, his friends do not even know his life and death, perhaps the world has almost forgotten him as a person, and he is bound to this place, and he will never come out again.

At least in Su Wen's opinion, this is a very sad thing.

The old man walked to the edge of the bed and sat down, pulled the corners of his mouth, showed an ugly smile, and said, "I know what you're thinking, but this is my choice, so why should others evaluate it?"

Su Wen nodded, neither sitting down nor responding.

So Yao Yichuan continued: "Actually, I envy you, it took me a full sixty years to understand things, and you can understand it in a month, in fact, everyone here is very envious of you, because you resisted the temptation of the divine book, and they can't." ”

Su Wen sighed: "Since you have already seen it more than thirty years ago, why don't you leave? As you said, this qiē is your own choice." ”

"Yes, why?" the old man laughed at himself and sighed, "Actually, even if you can get out, what's the point?"

"I was twenty years old when I entered the Holy Palace, and when I first wanted to leave, I was already eighty years old, my family and friends may no longer be there, this world is no longer the world I know, I have been studying the Divine Book all my life, if you talk about the Divine Book, the understanding of the Holy Palace, there is no one in the world better than me. ”

"But what else can I do if I get out of here?"

Yao Yichuan's last sigh did not have too much sadness, nor too much unwillingness, he was very calm, and seemed to have accepted such a result a long time ago.

So Su Wen didn't show any sympathy on his face, he just shook his head and said, "You didn't ask me to come here to tell me this." ”

Yao Yichuan smiled: "When people are old, it is inevitable to be verbose, please understand." ”

Su Wen was silent, indeed, Yao Yichuan was already old, very old, he was twenty years old when he entered the Holy Palace, and now ninety-six years have passed, and now Yao Yichuan is one hundred and sixteen years old, even if he has a half-saint position, if he can't break through the shackles of the last layer, I'm afraid he won't live too long.

Time is the most difficult enemy for mankind to defeat.

However, the old man himself didn't seem to be too pessimistic, and after laughing at himself, Yao Yichuan's face regained its normal color, and said with a smile: "I know you're going out, so I want to ask you to do me a favor." ”

Su Wen didn't agree immediately, not because he was still thinking about the conflict with the two that day, but because he had vaguely realized that the old man's request might not be so simple.

"I also asked Wang Ci when he was leaving, but unfortunately he was too proud, so he didn't agree, and now you are leaving, so I want to try again. ”

Su Wen didn't answer, waiting for the other party to continue.

But Yao Yichuan did not immediately say his request, but suddenly took out a piece of something from his arms.

It was a stone, black stone.

In an instant, Su Wen's whole person was stunned, because whether it was from the appearance or the fluctuation of talent, it was clearly the black rock in the divine book!

Yao Yichuan looked at the shocked look on Su Wen's face, and seemed to be very satisfied, so he continued: "You also know, I have been here for a long time, and of course I have witnessed many major events, this piece of rubble fell when a certain big man slashed the divine book. ”

"If you're willing to do me a favor, it's yours. ”

Hearing this, Su Wen immediately felt a shock in his heart, and then remembered the last missing page in the divine book, and subconsciously asked, "Who is that big man?"

Yao Yichuan replied with a smile: "Actually, you already have the answer, don't you?"

Immediately afterwards, Yao Yichuan added: "You have been in the Holy Palace for a month and a half, here, have you ever seen a candidate from the Martial Kingdom?"

Su Wen's breathing suddenly became more and more rapid, and several intermittent words began to appear in his mind.

"Wuguo, Shenshu Section, Sword Master, Beigu Mountain ......"

After a long time, Su Wen finally came to his senses, took a deep breath, and asked, "What exactly do you need me to do?"

Yao Yichuan said with a smile: "Actually, it's not a big deal, just help me see how my Yao family is doing now, and if necessary in the future, please be sure to help take care of it." ”

Su Wen frowned slightly, this request is simple and simple, and it is actually very troublesome to say that it is troublesome, so he did not answer immediately, but asked instead: "You are not afraid, I will go back on my word after taking something?"

Yao Yichuan asked rhetorically, "Will you?"

Su Wen didn't know where Yao Yichuan's inexplicable trust in him came from, was it based on Su Shi's assurance, or was the old man prided on seeing people very accurately?

"Why did Wang Ci refuse in the first place?"

In this regard, Yao Yichuan gently shook the black stone in his hand and said with a smile: "Probably because the conditions I opened at the beginning were not as attractive as they are now." ”

"What else?"

"Also, as I said, he is a very proud man, and he has too much obsession with so-called perfection. ”

Su Wen still didn't understand what kind of connection there was between the two things of pride and perfection and Wang Ci's refusal of the old man's request, and the answer he got in the end was like a nonsense.

"When you get a chance to meet him, you'll understand. ”

So until the end, Su Wen didn't answer immediately, but said with a smile: "In this case, I still need to think about this matter, and when I leave, I'll give you an answer." ”

After speaking, Su Wen ignored the disappointment in the old man's eyes, waved his hand lightly, and turned around to go outside.

Compared with the shocking speculation in his heart before, or the generous reward given by the old man, Su Wen now has a more important thing to do.

However, he didn't expect that he had just walked back to the Divine Book when Ning Qingbing took the initiative to greet him.

"You're leaving?"

This was Ning Qingbing's first sentence, and immediately after, her next sentence caught Su Wen off guard.

"I want to stay here. ”
