Qi Xuan took the wooden box handed to him by his disciples, and after opening it, a bamboo flute lay quietly inside.

"Go and bring him in. ”

After the disciple turned to leave, Qi Xuan called someone again, "Wait a minute, take him to my study." ”

After talking to Tianhe and Tang Rou, Qi Xuan personally arranged the accommodation, and did not tell Tang Rou about her brother's arrival, but went over first.

In Qi Xuan's study, one person took off his disguise and sat there quietly.

In the past, this study was also a place for him and Qi Xuan to play, but now when I look at it, I feel that it gives people a very depressing feeling.

Qi Xuan used to be because of his mother, he didn't like to talk, he always liked to pretend to be cold, and over time, the whole person became indifferent and indifferent, and others didn't dare to mess with Qi Xuan, but he was different, he wanted everyone around him to be happy, so he always tried his best to tease Qi Xuan, hoping that he could laugh and talk more.

Once, he thought that the days in Tingjian Villa would be the happiest and happiest days of his life, but he didn't expect it, but in the end it turned into a dream that only grief.

Qi Xuan walked into the study, saw the person with his back to him, and said coldly, "Aren't you reluctant to come?

Shi Yu turned around and smiled helplessly, "If you don't come, you can't do it," he said and took out a drawing from his arms and handed it to Qi Xuan, "Look at it, this is someone's method, how can I say it?" ”

Qi Xuan opened the drawing in his hand while Shi Yu was speaking, and it turned out to be a "wanted warrant" or should be a "missing person notice", with a portrait of Shi Yu painted on it, and there was only one line of words below the portrait: Looking for the missing recalcitrant and listening to the Sword Villa.

"Is this what people do?" Shi Yu took the portrait of him from Qi Xuan's hand, "I don't know who gave him this idea, Qi Ying is not a person who can do this kind of thing, or think of this kind of method." ”

Hearing Shi Yu say this, Qi Xuan remembered that he had told Tang Rou about Shi Yu and Tingjian Villa before, and Tang Rou often visited Qi Ying after waking up, Qi Xuan had been busy with the martial arts conference in recent days, and he had to send someone to find out if Jiang Zelin had come to Yuecheng, and Xiang Tianhe where they had settled in Yuecheng, but he hadn't asked Tang Rou what he had said to Qi Ying, and he didn't even know when they sent out these missing person notices.

From this point of view, the person who gave Qi Ying the idea to use this method to force Shi Yu to listen to Sword Villa must be Tang Rou, and only Tang Rou would have so many ghost ideas.

Qi Xuan smiled silently and said to Shi Yu, "You should be able to think of who came up with the idea, didn't you stay with her for a long time?"

Shi Yu paused for a moment, and suddenly shouted, "Xiaorou's girl woke up!"

Qi Xuan nodded and said, "Yes, she woke up, are you going to see him?"

"I ......," Shi Yu frowned, "Do you think I'm listening to the entry and exit of Sword Mountain Villa like this?"

"Why is it not appropriate? Since he sent this thing to you, he has naturally made a plan, if you don't worry, I will take you there personally, with me, even if others see it, they will not say anything. ”

Shi Yu still looked hesitant, he really wanted to see Tang Rou to see if she was alive now, but he didn't want to face other things.

After thinking about it, Shi Yu sighed and said, "Forget it, just know that she is good, and you don't have to bother to see her, there is nothing to worry about with you taking care of her and accompanying her." ”

"Aren't you her brother?" Qi Xuan said, "Aren't you always thinking of yourself as her own brother when you're out there?"

"How, I'm just. ”

Qi Xuan pointed to the drawings in Shi Yu's hand, "Maybe this method forced you to listen to Sword Villa not only because of Qi Ying, maybe Xiao Rou herself wants to see you?"

Shi Yu looked at Qi Xuan and couldn't help but think to himself, he might prefer when Qi Xuan didn't like to talk, so Qi Xuan, who could speak well, was a little overwhelmed.

"Don't think about it, since you're here, you can't leave if you want to, so let's stay obediently, do you want to see Xiaorou now, or do you want to rest for a while. ”

Shi Yu sneered, "I really didn't expect that I would have today, yes, this feeling is really good, let's go, take me to see my baby sister." ”

Qi Xuan and Shi Yu came to find Tang Rou, but they only saw Tang Qian, and they didn't know where Tang Rou had gone.

As soon as Shi Yu said his name, Tang Qian stepped forward and grabbed Shi Yu's hand, "I finally saw you, Xiao Rou told me that she lost to the source of the world because you protected her all the way back, thank you so much." ”

"Uh...... Senior, you don't have to be polite, since I think Xiaorou is my sister, I naturally have the responsibility to protect her. ”

"Brother Shi Yu!"

Tang Rou shouted and ran in from outside, "You're finally here! ”

"Sure enough, it's you. Shi Yu pretended to look at Tang Rou coldly.

Tang Rou just smiled and didn't mind, "Who told you not to come back with Qi Xuan, we have to coax you back in this way." ”

"We?"

"Yes," Tang Rou knew that she couldn't hide it from Shi Yu, and admitted very generously, "It's us, I still have the second owner, you will definitely be very happy to come back, when will you go to see him?"

Shi Yu shook his head and said, "I don't want to see him, after seeing you, I'll leave." ”

"How can that be done?" Tang Rou reached out and grabbed Shi Yu's arm, "Brother Shi Yu, go and see him, the second owner has always missed you, and he ......"

Tang Rou didn't know what to say, so she turned her head to look at Qi Xuan, but saw Qi Xuan gently shake his head.

"Okay," Tang Rou let go of her hand and said, "Whether you want to see him or not, you decide for yourself, it's not good for me to say too much, and I know that Brother Shi Yu is an understanding person, everything is clear and clear in your heart, just do it or not, and how to do it, I hope Brother Shi Yu will think it through." ”

"I know," Shi Yu raised his hand and rubbed Tang Rou's hair, "I came here today, I feel much better to see you so energetic, I don't blame you for using that method to trick me back." ”

Tang Rou pouted, "You still want to blame me?"

"Huh. ”

"Okay," Tang Rou smiled, "Then I'll thank Brother Shi Yu, don't blame it, and then there's it, thank you Brother Shi Yu for helping me find medicine." ”

Shi Yu smiled and said, "What I do for you is what I am willing to do, you don't have to thank me for this." ”

"Haha, okay, I know. ”

After talking to Tang Rou, Shi Yu was about to leave, and Tang Rou did not persuade him again.

Qi Xuan wanted to send Shi Yu in person, knowing Qi Xuan's intentions, Shi Yu did not refuse.

But when they were about to reach the gate of the mountain, a man stopped them.

"Father?" Qi Xuan was surprised, he felt that even if someone would come, it should be Qi Ying, the owner of the second village, but he didn't expect it to be his father Qi Ao.

Shi Yu was stunned for a moment, thinking that Qi Xuan had told him before that Qi Ao was also the one who knew the truth back then, so he couldn't help but be a little embarrassed, took a small step forward, and said, "Qi Ao, the owner." ”

Qi Ao has always been a gentle person, and after experiencing that catastrophe, he has become more gentle than before.

"Since you're here, why are you in a hurry to leave?"

"I ...... Not suitable for staying here. ”

Qi Ao approached Shi Yu and sighed softly, "What happened at that time made you feel wronged, we have been very guilty over the years, You used to treat us as relatives and this place as a home, but we finally forced you to have no way out." ”

"Owner?"

"Now that you're back, I hope you'll make this your home again. ”

Shi Yu has no parents since he was a child, he regards his clansmen as the closest people, but those people just blindly put forward all kinds of requests to him, he wants to help them, but they are unwilling to listen to his advice, but instead ask him for more.

Once, he came to Tingjian Villa, that person took him as an apprentice, even if he didn't need a master, but that person, as well as the other people in Tingjian Villa, were too good to him, making him feel at home for a while, but everything was unpredictable, he changed from that person's beloved apprentice to the murderer of that person's wife, and all the good things were shattered in an instant.

He didn't know why Shi Niang lied to him, and why he committed suicide with his sword, he didn't know anything, he knew, it was useless to argue, no one would believe him, so he could only choose to be silent.

However, he underestimated the power of Tingjian Villa, even if he was quietly rescued by Qi Xuan, he was still chased and killed by the people of Tingjian Villa, and there was no way to escape, so he could only flee to him, and he didn't know where the road would lead, and the end of that road would be life or death.

"I ......" Shi Yu hesitated, and finally shook his head and said, "I'm sorry, owner, I should leave, thank you owner, what happened at the beginning was that I didn't appear right, so I didn't blame anyone." ”

Just as Shi Yu was about to leave after seeing the ceremony, Qi Xuan suddenly spoke, "You don't want to know, why did the second aunt do that?"

Shi Yu was stunned for a moment, in the past, he had thought of many possibilities, but now......

"I don't want to know. ”

After that, he left Tingjian Villa without looking back.

Seeing Shi Yu walking away, Qi Xuan asked out loud, "Father, why are you here?"

Qi Ao let out a long sigh, "Evil fate, but after all, he is my second brother, Shi Yu's child, and he is not a wicked person, but there are some things that no one can control if they want to." ”

"Father knows the reason why the second aunt committed suicide?"

Qi Ao looked at Qi Xuan, "Don't you already know it, I know that you are smart, I can tell you that the conjecture in your heart is correct." ”

"Maybe Shi Yu already knew," Qi Xuan frowned, "Or rather, the moment we saw him 'killing' the second aunt, he already knew." ”

Qi Ao couldn't deny it, "It should be, otherwise he wouldn't have reacted like that when you asked just now." ”

Therefore, the reason why he was reluctant to stay in Tingjian Villa was not because he was afraid that the people who listened to Sword Villa would embarrass him, but because he was unwilling to face the truth.
