The clear lake water flowed slowly around the attic stakes, Xun Qiu and Zhou Qianluo walked into the pavilion, Yunqing girl nodded to the two, and one person left first.

Zhou Qianluo quietly looked at Xun Qiu's eyes and said, "Do you have something to tell me?"

Xun Qiu was silent for a while, and said, "The last time you went to the Mingyan Empire alone, what was it for?"

Zhou Qianluo said: "So you want to ask?"

Xun Qiu looked at her snow-white and beautiful and delicate face, shook his head slightly, and said, "I don't mean to doubt you, I just want to know what your relationship with the Mingyan Empire is, and why did you appear there before the rookie battle." ”

Zhou Qianluo walked to the edge of the railing with his hands behind his back, looked at the stars in the night sky, and said after being quiet for a while: "Actually, this matter is very complicated, and the people of the Mingyan Empire didn't know my identity at the beginning, in their eyes, I was just an ordinary disciple of the Immortal Mansion. ”

Her back looked a little lonely, perhaps sad.

Xun Qiu slowly walked to Zhou Qianluo's side, he didn't interrupt her, just listened to her speak slowly.

"I still remember when I was ten years old, Master brought back a little girl from the secular world, saying that she was a princess of the Mingyan Empire, named Luo Ying. She was about the same age as me, and then she and Yunqing accompanied me in my cultivation. ”

Xun Qiu felt that the atmosphere had become a little strange, and then he reached out to wrap his hand around Zhou Qianluo's shoulder, letting her head slowly rest on his left shoulder.

"And then?"

"Later, five years ago, she was killed by the evil cultivators of the Abyss Mountain in the Mangyuan, and when I arrived, her soul had all been refined, and only a cold body remained. ”

"It's all my fault, if I hadn't let her go to Mangyuan alone, this wouldn't have happened. ”

Zhou Qianluo's voice changed slightly, and she squeezed out a bleak smile towards Xun Qiu, but the tears still couldn't stop flowing.

Her crying was very simple, there was no sound, no choking, but it made people feel her sadness and sadness even more.

Xun Qiu didn't say anything, just his right arm tightened, and for the first time, he felt that the girl next to him was not as high as the outside said. She will also be like an ordinary woman, with her own concerns, and there will be times when pear blossoms bring rain.

He puffed up his chest and tried to stand as straight as he could, as if he wanted to make himself more like someone to rely on.

He waited quietly, waiting for the people around him to calm down, just like waiting for the spring breeze to thaw and make the surroundings glow.

Zhou Qianluo leaned on Xun Qiu's shoulder, closed his eyes, tears remained, down her delicate cheeks, and then fell on his shoulder.

She wiped her tears with the back of her hand, raised her head, and said with some uneasiness: "I'm sorry." ”

Xun Qiu shook his head and said softly: "I'm not sorry, you just did what you had to do." ”

"After Luo Ying's death, I always felt that it was my fault, so I was sad for a long time, and at that time Yunqing told me to tell the news to the Mingyan royal family, but I kept delaying. ”

"Luo Ying is the princess of Ming Yan, and she has the expectations of an empire, so I decided to go to the place where she was born in person, and then I met you. ”

Xun Qiu was stunned and asked, "So now the Ming Yan royal family doesn't know about this matter?"

Zhou Qianluo nodded, with a sad look on his face, "Maybe it's wrong to do this, but I don't want them to be sad, so I still hide it." ”

"Even when the old national master of Luofeng said that he wanted to recruit me as a colt, you didn't think to tell them about it?"

Xun Qiu knew in his heart that if Zhou Qianluo revealed his identity, the entire Mingyan Empire would be sincerely afraid, and they would be sad for the death of the princess, but they would not blame one of the famous three saints in the Immortal Mansion for this.

The reason why Zhou Qianluo concealed it like this was because she herself experienced this sadness, so she didn't want Luo Ying's relatives to taste it.

"When I knew that they were going to recruit you as a colt, I also thought about telling them the truth, but instead I decided to help you and give the Ming Yan Empire a powerful boost, who knew that I would ...... later"

Zhou Qianluo didn't continue, Xun Qiu understood that it was an answer that could be known without explanation.

The night breeze blew, Zhou Qianluo straightened up from the posture of leaning on Xun Qiu, she remembered her previous intimacy with him, and her cheeks were slightly red.

"It's a bit hot tonight. Zhou Qianluo looked at Xun Qiu, as if explaining why her cheeks were slightly red, but she didn't notice it herself, such an explanation is actually very interesting.

Girl, it seems to be an early winter evening.

Xun Qiu looked at her face, and naturally knew that what she said was not consistent with what she thought, and he noticed the nervousness that she showed when she said this explanation, and thought she was cute.

"It's a little. Xun Qiu said as she spoke.

Day 2.

The heavy stone door slowly opened, and Xun Qiu and Zhou Qianluo walked in side by side. The courtyard seems to have been silent for a long time, but the courtyard is spotless.

The maple leaves in the yard fell sporadically, quietly stranded on the stone path, and the traces of the sweep could not be completely covered.

There are people living here, only one person.

It's cleaned and kept clean and plain.

Zhou Qianluo looked up at this small courtyard, all her memories of this place stayed in her childhood, when the senior brother who lived here had not left, and the senior sister always smiled and shuttled in the courtyard, living a peaceful life.

Fifteen years in a flash.

"This is where Senior Brother Jing used to live. Zhou Qianluo woke up from his memories and said softly.

Xun Qiu turned to look and saw her standing on the edge of the small fence wall in the courtyard.

There were plum blossoms blooming on the edge of the fence wall, and she stood there, the morning sun shining down like a blooming flower.

"You had a good relationship with Brother Jing at that time?"

"Yes, at that time, Master taught us to practice, and I lived here with my sister for a while, and then my brother disappeared, and my sister stayed here and never left. ”

Zhou Qianluo looked at the house that looked a little vicissitudes in the morning light, and said calmly: "Sometimes I always feel sorry for my senior sister when I think about it, but then I think that this may be the way to make her live a better life." ”

Xun Qiu thought for a while and said, "Brother Jing is a person who stands up to the sky, and Senior Sister Bi is also an infatuated person. ”

"Senior sister, I've come to see you. Zhou Qianluo pushed open the door, Xun Qiu followed her gaze, and a beautiful woman in plain clothes sat in front of the hall.

The room was as simple as it could be, with a plaque with the word "Dao" on it facing the door, and a futon being the only ornament on the ground.

Xun Qiu looked at the woman's eyebrows, although her face was very calm, there was always a little sadness between her eyebrows.

The woman raised her head in surprise, looked at Xun Qiu for a long time, and then looked at Zhou Qianluo and said, "It's the first time in these years that you have brought someone to see me." ”

"He was the first and the last. Zhou Qianluo's words were very calm, as if he was talking about other people's affairs, and it didn't matter to him.

The woman looked up curiously, the brilliance in her eyes changed, and finally nodded slightly,

"A nice guy indeed. ”

"Senior Sister Xie. Zhou Qianluo nodded, then closed the door and retreated alone.

Zhou Qianluo waited alone in the small courtyard, and it was not until the sun set that the door of the room opened.

Xun Qiu came to open the door, and the sunset shone obliquely, stretching his shadow very long.

The sun shone on Zhou Qianluo's shoulders, and her whole person shone brightly, becoming more and more radiant.

Zhou Qianluo watched Senior Sister Bi come out with Xun Qiu, and a big stone fell in her heart.

Xun Qiu took Zhou Qianluo's hand in the past and said softly: "Let's go." ”

The woman didn't say a word, just watched as the two pushed the door to the courtyard door, and then closed the door.

When the gap closed again, she felt that the gloom in her heart was gone, and she might have to stay here for a while, and the stone door would still be closed like this, but the door in her heart had been opened.

My sister has really met someone who is worth entrusting for life.

She took out a saber from her pouch, which had not been drawn for fifteen years, but she would take it out every day and carefully wipe it to keep it spotless.

When the sword was unsheathed again, he returned.

She's always there, waiting for someone to come back.

......

Stars dotted the night sky, and Zhou Qianluo pushed open the window and looked at the starry sky.

When she closed her eyes, she could feel the starlight falling from the sky.

Half a moment later, she opened her eyes, with a murderous anger in them.

She dissolved into an afterimage and disappeared into the room.

A black shadow sneaked into the Yunxia Courtyard, the speed of this shadow was extremely fast, even Zhou Qianluo, who had read through the three thousand volumes and knew nearly a hundred excellent martial arts techniques, couldn't tell where this footwork came from.

She was sure that this was not a disciple of the Five Elements Sword Alliance.

Han Fang raised his head, his steps stopped, and he saw that the room not far away was lit with a light, and the person he was looking for was there.

But before that, someone had already blocked him.

"Who are you, and why are you in the Yunxia Courtyard. Zhou Qianluo asked coldly, her aura was already firmly locked on Han Fang's body, as long as she moved her mind slightly, this little guy would definitely die.

Han Fang raised his head, and Zhou Qianluo was shocked to find that this uninvited guest was actually a young man.

Han Fang was not caught in the slightest embarrassment or panic, he was surprised by Zhou Qianluo's beauty, and even more surprised by the identity of the person in front of him.

Zhou Qianluo didn't understand that the young man in front of him didn't run away nervously after finding out that he was caught, but was a little excited.

"You're a wife, aren't you?"

Zhou Qianluo instantly understood.

Han Fang felt that the trembling aura locked on him disappeared, and the big stone in his heart was also put down. Especially the change in Zhou Qianluo's expression made him believe that maybe there was a drama in today's events.

As for her laughter, it's simple.

Yunxia Courtyard is not so pedantic that outsiders can't take a step.

She's very generous, really.
