The bath room in Mingyue Building was steaming, Ye Ruying took off the leather gloves on her hands, revealing her white arms, and this arm was carrying a silver bracelet, which was engraved with the pattern of camellias, and the words "Nalan Xuyi" were engraved under the flower. She had changed into the clothes of her life, and an unopened lotus flower stood out at the back of her neck, and down her cervical vertebrae there was a Sanskrit thread to the tail vertebrae. As she uncrowned her hair, her hair fell like a waterfall and scattered behind her, instantly blocking the mark. She stepped into the pool and submerged herself in the water. There were fine petals in the water, which made her beautiful figure looming. Ye Ruying raised her hand to look at the silver bracelet, and she gently touched the words on it, as if the past was in front of her.

Six-year-old Ye Ruying went to Nalan's house at the foot of Tianmu Mountain with her father Ye Xiaotian, what made Ye Ruying feel strange was that her father only brought her to Nalan's house today, and she was used to playing with her younger brother at home on weekdays, and she was bored with the rules and regulations in it. Nalan Rongque knew her temperament well, so he asked her to go to Houshan Beiyuan. I heard that Nalan's family has a back mountain north garden, which is very close to Tianji Tower, but this garden is built on the mountain, and it is very difficult to climb up, and the people of Nalan's family never let outsiders go up. As soon as Ye Ruying heard this, she jumped up and followed the little servant. Ye Xiaotian was a little worried at first, but Nalan Rongque was very relieved.

Ye Ruying slowly walked in the courtyard of the Nalan family, it turned out that the scenery here was so beautiful, and she was a little fascinated by it. When we reached our destination, a steep mountain peaked in front of us, and a small waterfall hung from the mountain. She let out an exclamation and suddenly became motivated, she had always wanted to challenge this mountain, and now she really had this opportunity. She is a little different from other little girls, she is not interested in what girls play, she naturally loves to dance with knives and guns, and often holds her younger brother Ye Rucheng to practice martial arts at home, and her younger brother is often not her opponent when he is young, so he practices martial arts with his father, and is much stronger than his peers in martial arts.

Ye Ruying took off the hairpin on her head, took out a hairband from her arms and tied her long hair from her original shawl into a ponytail, and then the corners of her mouth bent, and her little feet flew up to launch a light skill "chasing the wind and catching shadows".

Nalan Xuyi, who was standing on the top of the cliff and closed the door in the pool, noticed that someone was coming, he pinched his fingers, opened his eyes, and it turned out to be a stranger. He was surprised, who else would come but the Nalan family, and curiosity made him unable to calm down. He immediately got up and disappeared into the clouds.

Originally, this mountain was towering into the clouds and mist, Ye Ruying was very relaxed at first, but when she didn't enter the clouds, she saw clearly that the mountain was dozens of feet high, which was much higher than she imagined. The cliffs are all steep, there is no place to stand on people, there are no caves to lean on, only a few cliff pines. If one step is missed, the bones will be shattered, Ye Ruying felt a little panicked in her heart, she stopped on a pine, glanced at her feet, and looked up at the top of the mountain, the more she went up, the steeper it became, and there was no tree to land. But she looked in the direction of the top of the mountain and thought that she was about to reach the top of the mountain, but she was unwilling to give up, and then she readjusted her breathing, and her figure flashed and went up.

Ye Ruying looked at such a high mountain cliff, and above it was the North Garden of the Back Mountain, and when she heard Uncle Nalan say that there was a cave on it, she wondered in her heart, what was there on it? Will it be inhabited? While she was thinking in her heart, it distracted her attention, and suddenly her feet fell into the air, and her body instantly lost its balance and fell down. Ye Ruying shouted in her heart that it was bad, she saw the pine tree that had just landed, which was her only "life-saving straw". She immediately untied her hair ties, her hair flying in the wind obstructing her vision, and her eyes lost sight as the hairbands and branches "crossed her shoulders".

At this critical moment, suddenly a figure flashed, followed Ye Ruying with one hand, and buckled her waist. Ye Ruying looked at the person in front of her in surprise, and the first thing that caught her eye was the cinnabar mark on his eyebrows. It was a boy, who seemed to be a few years older than her. He was dressed in white and spotless, with slightly curly green silk woven together and tied behind his head, his facial features seemed to be similar to Nalan Rongque, and his expression was calm and he couldn't see any emotion. Ye Ruying looked at him in a daze, and forgot that she was already on the line of death.

Seeing her panicked, Nalan Xuyi didn't care to say a word, only to see him put his other hand in front of him and make a gesture, only to see the water on the small waterfall gathering towards him, Nalan Xuyi held her and stepped on this condensed water, and then stepped all the way up. The large water droplets that had gathered into a circle instantly bloomed into a lotus flower, and then turned into ordinary water and fell down the mountain.

Nalan Xuyi led her all the way up, effortlessly, until she surpassed the top of the cliff. Ye Ruying was amazed when she saw the scene of "Lotus Born Step by Step", and she only felt that she was in the clouds. She had a bird's-eye view of the cliff, and there was a courtyard, like a fairyland, which was the North Garden of the Back Mountain. Ye Ruying felt so tall that she unconsciously shrank into Nalan Xuyi's arms. Nalan Xuyi noticed her abnormality, walked down step by step, and put her on the ground. Ye Ruying was so addicted to the scenery that she forgot about the boy behind her.

This is a courtyard that is not small or big, and there is a pond in front of the house, which is connected to the stream on the side, and is the source of the waterfall, and the pond is full of lotus flowers. The side of the house is full of all kinds of flowers and plants, as well as melons, fruits and vegetables, which seem to be delicious. Standing on the edge of the cliff, you can have a bird's-eye view of the entire Nalan family's mansion and the Tianji Tower in the distance.

"Are you...... Is it an immortal?" Ye Ruying turned to Nalan Xuyi and said, "Thank you for saving me." ”

"I'm just a mortal. Nalan Xuyi walked into her and said softly, "Girl, your hair is messy. ”

Ye Ruying looked at his gentle eyes, and when she heard him say that her hair was messy, she was embarrassed, she immediately turned around and hurriedly brushed her hair with her fingers, but the more it became messy.

Nalan Xuyi looked at the girl in front of him who was at a loss, and felt a little cute, and then he took out a small rectangular lacquerware box from his arms, and a six-petal lotus flower was painted on the cover. He opened the box and took out a small wooden comb from it: "If the girl doesn't mind, I'll help you." ”

"Good...... All right...... That's please. Ye Ruying's face blushed, and she quickly stepped forward and sat on the small wooden bench in the courtyard.

Nalan Xuyi smiled slightly when she saw her so readily agreed. He carefully combed her hair, smoothing out the jointed hair, for fear of hurting her.

"You...... You live here alone? This is the North Garden of the Back Mountain?" she asked him quietly.

"Exactly, I'm just staying temporarily. This is my hut for practice. The mountain is steep, and you can't go up unless you have the ability, so no one bothered you. Nalan Xuyi pinched a strand of her hair and braided it.

"It's so steep, so how did you get there?"

"Walked up. ”

"Let's go, use water, like just now?"

"Yes. Do you see that building in the distance? I can walk from here to there. Nalan Xuyi pointed to the Tianji Tower in the distance.

When Ye Ruying heard what he said, she exclaimed for a while, as if she understood something: "I heard that some immortals live in seclusion in the mountains and fields to practice, drink some morning dew and mountain fruits when they are hungry, and sleep on the trees to bathe in the moonlight when they are tired, as if they are like you." ”

Nalan Xuyi smiled, he untied the hairband wrapped around her wrist, tied it to the end of her hair, and said, "Maybe." ”

"Then are you too?What are you eating here alone?What do you use?You look a few years older than me, don't you miss your father?" Ye Ruying had never seen this kind of person, and Nalan Xuyi aroused her curiosity.

Seeing that she asked a long list of questions, Nalan Xuyi patiently replied to her: "Food and clothing are usually brought from home." Some vegetables are grown in the yard themselves. Of course I was homesick, but my parents came to visit me every day, but they only secretly came to see me while I was sleeping. I've got your hair done. ”

Ye Ruying suddenly felt a sense of admiration in her heart, she got up and squatted in front of the pool, stretched out her hand to remove the lotus, and looked at her reflection in the water. Seeing her like this, Nalan Xuyi moved his fingers, and the droplets of water instantly floated in front of Ye Ruying, gradually gathering into a round mirror, dazzling in the light.

Ye Ruying looked at her appearance, turned her head to look at Nalan Xuyi, and couldn't help but say: "Little brother, you are so powerful......"

"On weekdays, when my parents are busy, I have to take care of my sisters, so this is not a problem. Nalan Xuyi explained to him.

"Brother, you're a little adult......"

"Little adult?"

"It's just that he looks like a child on the surface, but inside he is very mature like an adult. Ye Ruying looked at him and said, her eyes shining.

Nalan Xuyi felt a little funny after hearing this, and said casually: "Do you think this is good?"

"That's good, I like it. Ye Ruying said to him with a smile.

"To do this, you need to give up a lot of things you like, learn to behave in the world from an early age, have a precocious mind, and lack childlike innocence. Nalan Xuyi lowered his eyes and said, he wanted to say something, but swallowed it back in his stomach.

"I don't think so, I like people like my brother, not only high martial arts, but also gentle and considerate. Ye Ruying took his hand and said, "Ah~ I'm so envious, if only I had a brother like you...... There is only one stupid brother in the family, and every time we practice together, he is not my opponent. ”

Nalan Xuyi saw that she was so innocent and cheerful, and she didn't care that the distance between men and women should be kept from Fang Cai, and she actually had a trace of affection in her heart, and said casually: "Then do you want your future husband to be like me?"

Ye Ruying heard him say this, as if she remembered something, and Nalan Xuyi felt inexplicably nervous when she saw that there was a trace of doubt in her expression. Then she said: "Of course I hope, but I seem to have a marriage contract, it is your Nalan family, his name is Nalan Xuyi." Do you know this guy? What does he look like?"

Nalan Xuyi discovered her identity just now, because she used the Ye family's light skill "chasing the wind and catching shadows" when she was going up the mountain. He had seen Ye Xiaotian use this trick before. After hearing her words, Nalan Xuyi pretended not to know and took his words: "I see. ”

He thought for a moment and said, "Not only do I know him, but I also know him very well. ”

"This was made by my father and Uncle Nalan in the early years, and I haven't seen this brother either, so I don't know what it looks like...... I hope his martial arts skills are not too bad, otherwise he will be beaten by me like my brother. Ye Ruying said with a smile, as if she didn't know what "husband" meant.

Nalan Xuyi was stunned in her heart, the girl in front of her was unscrupulous. She seemed to have some kind of obsessive pursuit of martial arts, he glanced at her, and then said, "Do you like martial arts so much?"

"Of course, if you learn it, you can protect your father and mother and your stupid brother, and you don't have to hide from people. ”

"In that case, how about we practice? In addition to Fang Cai's tricks, I also know a lot of martial arts, do you want to see it?" Nalan Xuyi's words aroused Ye Ruying's interest in martial arts, and Ye Ruying immediately agreed to him.

Nalan Xuyi stretched out his hand and took out a folding fan from behind him, and then the fan surface was immediately unfolded with a flick of his fingers, Ye Ruying looked around, strode to the tree in the distance and picked up a wooden branch, and a sparring began.
