Finally arrived in the city of Huizhou, it was late, and the gray seemed to be really windy. The www.biquge.info of Pen, Fun, and Pavilion had no choice but to find an inn to settle down, and settled Song Ke first, and Lou Qianshan excused himself to look at him, so he retreated early, leaving only Suzaku and Jun Li and Okra in the house.

The lamp was lit in the room, but the lamp was blown dimly, and the face of the Suzaku sitting at the table became more and more dim and unpredictable. At this time, he seemed a little lacking in spirit, as if he was also a little tired of revisiting the old matter with Jun Li, and stared up at this disciple he hadn't seen for a long time, just silent.

"Master...... How to ...... this time Personally came. Jun Li looked nervous, knowing that it was impossible to mention Shen Fengming's matter at this time, so he could only have a relationship with him first, but if he wanted to admit his mistake, he didn't know where to start.

Suzaku snorted, "Calling Master in your mouth, you must still hate it in your heart, right?"

"I don't dare. "Jun Li deserves to be honest.

Suzaku sneered: "So you know that you are wrong now?"

"Yes. ”

"If you know you're wrong, why don't you kneel!"

Jun Li was slightly stunned. Suzaku's tone was stern, but it didn't make him resist, but he was a little relaxed, as if he vaguely felt that he was finally willing to forgive himself.

On the side, okra didn't understand his inner thoughts, and stepped forward and said: "Dad, Jun Li, he knows that he is wrong, you ...... You're just an adult......"

But Jun Li had already knelt down. Putting everything else aside, even if it wasn't for him to forgive, he felt that he owed him a lot.

Suzaku looked a little better, his eyelids moved slightly, and he turned to okra: "You rest early, if you have anything to say, you can talk about it in the future." The implication is that she should leave first today.

Okra saw that Jun Li also looked up at herself, which seemed to reassure her. Although she had thousands of words in her heart, she could only stop talking, nodded, and retreated.

The pair of master and apprentice sat and knelt, Jun Li lowered his head, his eyes did not meet him, but he didn't know how long he was silent, so long that his knees were a little numb, and then he heard Suzaku say: "I heard that you were injured in Meizhou?"

"Yes - I was caught off guard and almost lost my life. Jun Li hurriedly replied, and his tone seemed a little sneering.

Suzaku's tone was more deliberately cold and sneering, "Then the one surnamed Xia - has he ever thanked you for your kindness?"

When Jun Li heard him mention Xia Zheng, his heart seemed to be slightly pinched, and he couldn't help but raise his eyes to look directly at him, "Master should know that he won't treat me lightly." ”

When he said this, he felt that he was a little blunt. Sure enough, Suzaku's expression changed. Jun Li's eyes looking at him clearly knew the truth and the reason why he was jealous of Xia Zheng at the beginning. The fire in his heart, which had been calmed down, suddenly flourished again, and he pressed his hand the table, "Did Shen Fengming tell you?" twisted his eyebrows, "I knew that I shouldn't have left him alive in the first place!"

Jun Li thought that Shen Fengming might be in danger at this time, but he also knew that the confrontation was now increasing his anger, so he bit his lip and endured without saying a word, looking at a faint crack on the table pressed out of the palm of Suzaku's hand, and was silent. Suzaku's mood seemed to be unsettled, but he didn't want to bear it, he stood up with his sleeves and said coldly: "Kneel for me!"

This conversation, which may have been heart-to-heart, ended unhappily after only one back and forth. Jun Li didn't move. Suzaku asked him to kneel, but he couldn't kneel. He could only silently force his anxiety to be soothed in his heart, and he thought that maybe Suzaku still needed time to measure his apprentice's rebellion and filial piety in his heart.

However, Suzaku did not reappear throughout the night. He seemed to be resting like this, leaving Jun Li kneeling a few feet away, as if he wanted him to reflect on himself in the middle of the night. Later, Jun Li only smiled bitterly in his heart.

By the time it was about dawn, more than four hours had passed, and the pain in my knees had already become numb. Jun Li was about to move a little in order to relieve himself, when he suddenly heard a slight noise from inside, and stared at it, and the Suzaku man on the couch seemed to sit up. He could naturally see a figure still kneeling here, and the figure that sat up seemed to froze.

Dawn is probably the coolest time of the day. The clear and bright sound of birds chirping outside the house indicates that the wind and rain that seemed to be coming last night will finally come to the future. Everything seemed to be jubilant and harmonious, and the atmosphere seemed to invade the stalemate of the two men, as if all the restlessness had been replaced by some more gentle feeling.

This young Taoist priest was the only disciple he could look at for decades, and Suzaku understood that even if Jun Li had a great fault, he did not want to lose this disciple, just as Jun Li would not want to lose this only master who could shout openly at this moment, so he would kneel down and never leave all night - not to mention, could those small festivals be called "great faults"? Compared to the sustenance of the state of mind that each other had brought to them, those were nothing!

He finally sighed slightly. "Get up. There was a rare calmness in his voice.

Seeing that Jun Li didn't move, his eyebrows furrowed slightly, and his voice was uneven, "Get up!"

I saw that Jun Li was finally able to stand up after holding up the table, but it turned out that he didn't want to get up, but his knees and legs were really a little powerless for a while. His expression returned to a somewhat sneering look and looked at Suzaku and said, "Master...... Aren't you angry?"

Suzaku was too lazy to say much about the past, "You sit down, I'll ask you something else." ”

Jun Li also sat down and said, "What does Master want to ask?"

"Yesterday Zhuo Yan said - I didn't embarrass you, I invited you to be a guest - is this true?"

"This ...... It's true. ”

"Why did he invite you?" Suzaku clearly didn't believe it, "You don't have to scruple about it, but let's be honest." ”

"That's what he's saying. Jun Li said, "Shan Xianxian, he met me in Meizhou - he left a book to invite me, if the master doesn't believe it, just look at this." ”

He took out Shan Jiquan's letter in Meizhou, stood up and handed it over. Although the scene was very different from what was written in the letter at the time, it was expected that the letter also had this meaning, and the tone was friendly.

Suzaku could make out Shan Jiquan's handwriting, and although his expression was hesitant, he couldn't find a reason not to believe it. Jun Li and Thorn were injured at the same time in Meizhou, Yu Rui also mentioned it to him, but Yu Rui did not see the whole story of the two injuries, and he couldn't say too much. The letter mentioned that Jun Li was injured to save the stab, which also somewhat dispelled the doubts in Suzaku's heart.

But after he looked at it, he didn't return the letter, but looked at it again from the beginning, and then looked up at Jun Li.

"What is your relationship with this little girl called Thorn?" he asked.

Jun Li didn't expect him to ask this question, but he didn't know how to answer for a while. "Me and the Thorn ......"

He didn't want to deny that the two were now happy, but he didn't know if he could clearly say what kind of relationship he really had with her? Even if he could say - he didn't know the purpose of Suzaku's questioning - Xia Zheng was jealous of him because of his father-son relationship, could the thorn also be in the same danger because he had any close connection with him, which disliked him?

Just a moment's hesitation was enough for Suzaku to know his answer. He sneered, "Today when you were leaving, you flirted with her, and you said that I can't see it? I just didn't expect that you almost lost your life in Meizhou because you wanted to save her; you haven't come back for a long time, and you were with her! Heh, I think you probably forgot that you kept saying that you were going to take okra away from me? I want to ask, where did you put okra now?"

"Master, this is ...... That's not how it is said. Jun Li had some cold sweat oozing from his forehead. Suzaku's words really showed a little hostility to the thorns, and he couldn't help but be afraid. "If it was okra - if okra was in the same danger, I would save her with my life, I ......"

He didn't know how to explain it, because he wanted to tell Suzaku that he didn't favor one over the other, but he also knew that it was actually a lie. Even if he really saved okra in the same situation, the stab and her were different after all.

Seeing that he was suddenly nervous, Suzaku sneered and faded. The little girl named Thorn, he remembered that he took Cheng Ping away in the ancestral hall of the Xu family that day, and he had already seen her with Jun Li. Even if they are just ordinary acquaintances, with Jun Li's character, it is not surprising that he would sacrifice his life to save her, just as Jun Li had sacrificed his life to save okra under his own hands that day.

- This Taoist priest is such a person, didn't he already know it?

He suddenly didn't want to force him, and sighed: "You don't have to be nervous, I can't take care of your private affairs, and I won't take care of you." It's just that since you are willing to come back to see me, Master, I don't want to see you hide anymore. ”

Jun Li looked a little cramped, and only said, "Yes, I know." ”

"Duplicity. Suzaku shook his head, "Jun Li, do you think that I forced you a lot in the past - you left in anger that day, not only because of Xia Zheng, but also because you already have a grudge in your heart?"

Jun Li shook his head, "No." ”

"You say, I really don't know that you and okra never really intended to stay?" said Suzaku, in a calm tone, "when you left, you clamored to take her away, oh, the most chilling thing about me was not your attitude towards me—but that I knew that what you said that day was the truth." Jun Li, when you return to me today, I know that it may not be regarded as a lie, but after all, you still have the heart to leave one day. If I am determined to keep you in the Great Inner Circle, it will only be another grudge. The next time you will turn against me for any circumstantial sake. ”

Jun Li is stopped. He remembered Suzaku's lonely tone that day, and he really didn't want to aggravate his loneliness, but he- how could he deny it, because Suzaku clearly explained everything thoroughly!

"That's it. Suzaku suddenly raised his head, "Which disciple joined the master's sect not to become a master one day, no matter how ambitious you are, you are afraid and unwilling to be trapped in an inner city." Now, Jun Li, I have made a covenant with you today in three chapters, and until you have learned the full trick of my 'mirror', you must still obey me, and no longer have the thought of escaping, but I will not limit your freedom as I did before—if you have important matters to worry about, I can allow you to leave the inner city occasionally, and save you from holding a grudge in your heart. ”

He didn't allow Jun Li to speak, and continued, "As for okra...... She's been thinking about you these days, but you haven't come back, and I can't stop her insistence. Now you can. ”

He paused. "You may as well say it clearly - you know what she thinks about you, and if you decide not to marry her, I will not force you, but you should not have any intention of taking her away - even if she no longer wants to stay with me, it has nothing to do with you. I have already told her that the daughter is leaving her father, but it is just a situation. Somebody's going to take her away, but - it won't be you. ”
