Chapter 61: Night Talk by the Lake
When everyone rushed to the Lake of Ice and Fire, the time had already reached the afternoon, but fortunately, in the afternoon, the sun was warmer, and the snow had melted a lot, otherwise everyone wanted to rush here, I am afraid that it would have to wait after dark.
The winter days were short, and by the time everyone got off their horses, the dusk sun had already set on the western mountains, giving off its last rays.
There is still a faint mist on the lake of ice and fire, half cold, half hot, the water of this lake has never frozen, and it has never dried up! The water of this lake has always been like this since it appeared, and it should not change in the foreseeable future.
The dusk sun shines on the mist, dyeing the entire surface of the lake in an orange color, and as the cold wind blows, the mist slowly surges, bringing a layer of dazzling waves, which is very charming.
Except for Ye Fan, the forty-two people who came to the Ice and Fire Lake for the first time were all caught up in the beautiful scenery and were amazed by this miracle of nature.
"It's so beautiful! I didn't expect it to take me two years to travel all over Beizhou, and the most beautiful place is here!" A low sigh came from Ye Fan's side, it was Zhuge Qingyun who was dressed as a man.
With Zhuge Qingyun's exclamation, Bai Qiuhu also sobered up, after all, he is a well-informed old Jianghu, although he can't compare to Zhuge Qingyun in terms of vision, but he is better in terms of concentration.
"It's beautiful here, or you'll settle here in the future!"
Ye Fan's words made Zhuge Qingyun's heart move slightly, to be honest, she liked the environment here very much, green mountains and white snow, ice and fire and the same lake! And along the way, after experiencing those disturbances and ambiguities that she didn't know how to describe, she also thought a little about Ye Fan!
It's just that as soon as he thinks of the place he walked out, Zhuge Qingyun couldn't help but sigh, Ye Fan may be a unique overlord here, with his current age, his strength can be regarded as an outstanding young talent, but once compared with those geniuses in the outside world, although it is still dazzling, it is not out of reach.
And more importantly, it is difficult for this small place in the poor countryside of Qingye City to give birth to a real dragon, and now Ye Fan may be able to temporarily walk in the forefront of his peers, but three years later, what about five years later? At that time, he may not even be able to compare with himself, so what can he use to convince that sect?
Shaking his head and smiling bitterly, Zhuge Qingyun said tiredly: "This place is indeed beautiful, but it's a pity that I can't live here for a long time!"
Ye Fan was slightly stunned, this was the first time he had seen this kind of expression on Zhuge Qingyun.
"It's getting late today, let's prepare the meal first, and after dawn tomorrow, we will start to search for the whereabouts of the Ice and Fire Spirit Silkworm!" Ye Fan changed the topic and began to arrange for the surrounding people to prepare dinner.
Fortunately, this ice and fire lake does not freeze all year round, and on the side of the fire lake, there are lush green trees growing, which is rare in this snowy winter.
In order to hurry at noon, except for Ye Fan and Zhuge Qingyun, the rest of the people didn't have time to eat, and they were already so hungry that their chests were pressed against their backs! When dinner was ready, after a group of big men devoured the food, they all went into the tent to keep out the cold, leaving the outside space for Ye Fan and the two.
When the sky was full of stars, Ye Fan and the others sat around a bonfire, looking at the lake in front of them in a daze.
"Will you leave here in the future?" Zhuge Qingyun looked ahead with a little misty eyes, and asked Ye Fan beside him.
Ye Fan was stunned, he didn't expect Zhuge Qingyun to suddenly ask him this question, turned his head to look at her and asked, "Why did you suddenly ask me this?"
Zhuge Qingyun still stared at the unknown place ahead, and his voice was light and seemed to have no waves: "It's nothing, just ask casually, you can choose not to say!"
Ye Fan looked at Zhuge Qingyun's pretty face that was a little dark under the bonfire, and always felt that this was not a good way.
"I'm definitely going to leave here in the future and leave Aoba City!, but this time may be a little long!" In the end, Ye Fan still decided to tell the truth.
"What's the matter? I can't bear your identity as the ruler of Aoba Castle?"
For some reason, Ye Fan heard a trace of anger and a trace of unwillingness from this ridicule, as if he was angry with him.
Shaking his head, Ye Fan said frankly: "Aoba City is just an accident, I never thought that I would become the ruler of Aoba City! And the reason why I stayed here is not because of the identity of the person in charge, or the desire for power!"
"Then what are you for?" This time Zhuge Qingyun no longer concealed her emotions, and stared straight at Ye Fan's eyes, she wanted to hear the truth.
"Because of a person, I have to wait for her, at least for a few more years!"
"Wait for someone, who is it?" Zhuge Qingyun was not satisfied with Ye Fan's answer at all, and pressed step by step.
Ye Fan was helpless, so he had no choice but to say. "Yes, it's a woman, her name is Ye Lan'er, my little junior sister!"
To Ye Fan's surprise, Zhuge Qingyun did not continue to ask him about Ye Lan'er, but instead set his eyes on the mist in the distance. This made Ye Fan breathe a sigh of relief, after all, in addition to the identity of her little junior sister, Ye Lan'er also had the identity of her fiancée, although that agreement was more like a white lie!
However, before Ye Fan could put his heart back in his stomach, Zhuge Qingyun's next question stumped him again!
"Ye Fan, do you really like me? I want to hear the truth!"
The voice was ethereal, as if coming from the fog, hazy and not real, but in Ye Fan's ears, there was no thunder!
Ye Fan was silent for a long time, and after asking himself a thousand times in his heart, he replied: "I like you, I like you very much! Although I don't know if this can be regarded as love, I really like the feeling when I am with you! It's just that for some reason, I can't marry you!"
"Why? Is it because of that little junior sister of yours?" Zhuge Qingyun's voice was even more ethereal, like a fairy high above, without the slightest human breath.
Zhuge Qingyun's tone made Ye Fan's heart very uncomfortable, and he couldn't help but say: "Yes, it's not ......."
Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Zhuge Qingyun and said: "It doesn't matter if it's right or not! Because I'll leave here, and you will stay here! We are destined to be people from two worlds!"
"Leave?Where are you going?Beihai Listen to Sword Pavilion?" This was the first time Ye Fan had brought up this topic in front of her, this time he didn't want to hide anymore, he wanted to know the answer, no matter what the result of the answer was, he would choose to face it!!
