Chapter Ninety-Nine: The Twilight of the Moment
Compared with many young handsome people, Xu Beiyou really doesn't look like a decent person, otherwise there would be no rumors of "Crouching Tiger is lustful, and Young Qi has power". In the eyes of many people, this Jiangdu Xu Gongzi acted fiercely, played with power, befriended the powerful in Jiangdu, and eradicated dissidents, especially after the booby-trapping of Zhang Zhaonu and the expulsion of Jiangnan Daomen, which made many people jealous of him, and felt that this person must be a gloomy character who is as gentle as a spring breeze on the surface, but is actually as cold as a harsh winter.
This statement is indeed not wrong, and it can't even be applied to the sect masters of the Sword Sect in the past dynasties, Xu Lin and Shangguan Xianchen master and apprentice needless to say, the master and apprentice had teamed up with the Dao Sect to set off a lot of bloody storms in their early years, and I don't know how many Earth Immortal Masters died in it, and even many sect masters were not spared.
Then there is Gongsun Zhongmou, in fact, he will only appear amiable in front of Xu Beiyou, from his early years in the grassland with Emperor Xiao to the later set up a game to calculate the two of Autumn Leaves and Dust Leaves, it can be seen that the head of the Gongsun family is by no means a simple swordsman, otherwise how can he be praised as "no one in the world knows the king"?
Therefore, Xu Beiyou's change in heart is inevitable and inherited.
The so-called pure heart is a saint who can maintain a pure heart in the turbid world, but unfortunately Xu Beiyou is not a saint, and he can't be a saint, not even a gentleman.
Qin Mumian hopes that Xu Beiyou can be a gentleman, but Xu Beiyou knows that he can't do it, at least not yet.
After the two entered the territory of Yanzhou, they did not encounter any changes, there were no fairy fights here, and there was no incense that Xu Beiyou needed to visit, and there were no waves all the way.
Along the way, the two get along very well, Qin Mumian is like an elder who is not much older, he has no fight, fights and fights, and even has some children's temperament, he can quarrel with Xu Beiyou and be happy, and after he is poor in words, he has to "convince people with his strength" , not at all like an old man who is about to usher in the 100-year-old mark, but like a young woman of the same age as Xu Beiyou, only after she drinks, when she nagged about those old things hidden in her heart, Xu Beiyou suddenly realized that if it were not for the cultivation of the earth immortal realm, she would be in the twilight of the world.
Along the way, Xu Beiyou still practiced swordsmanship, whenever this time, Qin Mumian would point his fingers beside him, comment, little encouragement, and ridicule a lot, saying that Xu Beiyou's kendo cultivation was thirty-six streets worse than Shangguan Xianchen, and eighteen streets worse than Gongsun Zhongmou, don't think how powerful it is to be rated as the first person of the younger generation by Lan Yu, she was also the first person of the younger generation back then, and then she was not overtaken by Autumn Leaves, and then he threw off eighteen streets, and now even a small green leaf can't beat it, a few decades ago, she could hit three green leaves with one handγ
Xu Beiyou couldn't tell whether Qin Mumian was bragging or really something, but when she was drinking alone, the look on her beautiful face seemed to be a little lost, and she suddenly felt that she was actually a little pitiful.

After perceiving Xu Beiyou's gaze, Qin Mumian quickly reined in the loss, and scolded with a smile: "What do you see? β
So Xu Beiyou retracted his gaze and continued to use the qi machine to practice the sword.
After getting along for a long time, Xu Beiyou was also willing to tell this Aunt Qin some of his old things, although it was not as magnificent as Qin Mumian, but Qin Mumian listened to it with relish, and then laughed at Xu Beiyou mercilessly about something.
She never shows her gentle side in front of Xu Beiyou, she speaks harshly, moody, and seems to be very heartless, like a bad friend.
Perhaps the little tenderness she had left had been exhausted in the Taiqing Palace decades ago.
Perhaps, if she hadn't been taken to Xuanjiao when she was a child, but was born in an ordinary family, she wouldn't be like this at this time.
Xu Beiyou has always believed that he heard from an old woman in Xiaofangzhai when he was a child, what kind of eyes is what kind of nature, so peach blossom eyes must be amorous, and Danfeng eyes must be strong, so Xu Beiyou does not believe that a woman born with apricot eyes will be thin and cold by nature, and will be a demon girl in the mouth of the world.
After getting drunk once, Qin Mumian joked, "Xiao Beiyou, if you had been born decades earlier, maybe there would have been nothing wrong with Xiao Yu." β
Sure enough, she is still an old woman, and there are no taboos.
Xu Beiyou didn't know what to say.
Fortunately, Qin Mumian just said it casually, and then turned to ask: "Nangui, tell Aunt Qin the truth, do you like the Xiao family girl?"
Xu Beiyou was a little unsure of what position Qin Mumian was taking to ask this question, was she the opponent of Empress Dowager Lin, or the imperial concubine of the Xiao family? If it was the latter, Xiao Zhinan was also her granddaughter, and this question was a bit like a mother's family.
In the end, Xu Beiyou still decided to tell the truth and said: "If you like it, you must like it, after all, she is a captivating posture, and she is extremely smart, it is difficult for a man to be unmoved by her, I am not a saint who breaks off love, and naturally it is no exception, but liking is one thing, how deep I like it is another, I think she is the same, the most between the two of us is to appreciate each other, not to mention how unforgettable." β
Qin Mumian asked softly, "I remember that you had a good relationship with a little girl named Zhiyun before you went to Jiangdu. β
Xu Beiyou nodded in acknowledgement.
Qin Mumian then asked, "What about her?"
Xu Beiyou said softly: "I went to the Daomen and worshipped Autumn Leaves as a teacher." β
Qin Mumian sighed softly, and didn't continue to ask, I don't know if it was loss or disappointment, "You and the girl of the Xiao family are both smart people and people all the way, I wish you and your husband and wife a prosperous journey in the future, don't live up to today's thoughts."
The atmosphere was suddenly cold, and Xu Beiyou was silent.
The two continued to move forward, walked for three days, and when they were about to walk out of Yanzhou, Qin Mumian suddenly stopped and asked, "After you enter the imperial capital, will you go to Han Xuan's mansion first?"
Xu Beiyou was slightly stunned, then nodded and said, "Yes, I will live in Mr.'s house." β
In the twilight, the woman turned her head to look in the direction of the imperial capital, her clothes fluttering, and said softly: "It's almost time to arrive in Zhili Prefecture, you and I will be separated here." β
Xu Beiyou was puzzled: "Aunt Qin, where are you going?"
Qin Mumian asked rhetorically, "You really don't know?"
Xu Beiyou was stunned for a moment, and asked tentatively, "Are you going to Meishan?"
Qin Mumian raised his hand to fight, "I know and ask!"
Xu Beiyou didn't dodge, and said with a smile: "I didn't expect to guess correctly." β
Qin Mumian's raised hand never fell, and even took it back after a moment of hesitation, and said softly: "I made a vow back then, as long as I came to the imperial capital, I would go to see him once." β
Xu Beiyou nodded.
"Gone. Qin Mumian turned around and waved his hand with his back to Xu Beiyou.
Then the figure flashed away.
Xu Beiyou stopped in place with the sword box on his back, looked at the direction Qin Mumian left, and sighed.
Then he tightened the clasp of the sword box on his chest, laughed and sped away in the other direction.
At this time, the autumn wind suddenly rose, Xu Beiyou opened his hands, although he was carrying a sword box, his body was as light as a feather, and the whole rose from the ground, fluttering with the wind, and swaying for nine days.
The great real person can ride the wind.
