After the knife test meeting is successfully concluded, the villa will gradually become quiet.

Since that night, Xu Ming has not seen Xie Longyuan again, which makes him regretful. Did his words hurt someone?

He really wanted to go and see what was going on, but the old man had said before that he wanted to think about it, so he couldn't bother him, so he could only focus on practicing, both physically and mentally.

The three stages of waterfall practice all have the same purpose, so you only need to complete the first stage, and the rest will almost go smoothly.

During this period, Xie Fengshan did not need to be busy dealing with the funeral affairs. Instead, he gave all the power to his uncle Xie Zhu and practiced here like him.

Soon Xu Ming discovered that Xie Fengshan's realm was a little different, a bit more vigorous than before.

After questioning, I found out that his battle with Qin Heng that night also benefited him, and he took a big step forward after that.

As time went by, Xu Ming's uneasiness became more and more intense, because the old man never showed up, and he also asked Xie Fengshan during this period.

The latter just replied that he was in seclusion and saw no one.

Xu Ming was still a little worried about this old man, which made it difficult for him to practice later.

Otherwise, with his current state and some insights, the next two stages combined would take up to one and a half months.

During the Great Cold Season, the coldest period of the year, even the river water under the waterfall has frozen, as has the upper reaches, so the waterfall turns into a sheet of ice crystals.

Originally, Xu Ming should have been able to complete the three stages before then, but he was distracted and failed to complete it.

This made him a little regretful.

Xu Ming, who had stayed at Liudao Villa for more than two months, was supposed to leave, but he wanted to wait a little longer to see if there was an answer.

Later, even Xie Fengshan found out about this, and the two of them just sighed and were worried every day.

During the severe cold season, there is snow almost every day, so that the courtyard has people coming to clear the snow every day, making it busier than in other seasons.

Xu Ming also put on the thick Tsing Yi that Zhang Xiaoqing and Aunt Zhang made together.

Under the eaves, Xu Ming, dressed in a green shirt, squatted outside the door threshold, looking at the falling snow in a daze.

More than a month has passed since the knife test meeting, and the villa has returned to its former peace.

The knocks on the door from outside the courtyard disrupted Xu Ming's thoughts. After regaining consciousness, he called out to come in.

As a result, there was a burst of ridicule from outside the door: "I won't go in, I asked you to come out."

Xie Fengshan?

Xu Ming was stunned for a moment, then went outside despite the heavy snow, and saw Xie Fengshan standing outside the door holding an umbrella: "Why are you free to come to me today?"

"I'm here to inform you and pack your bags immediately. You can leave now." Xie Fengshan grinned.

Xu Ming's mouth twitched: "Are you starting to chase people away now?"

"I mean, my grandfather has come out and wants to see us." Xie Fengshan said seriously.

"We?" Xu Ming confirmed again.

Xie Fengshan nodded.

Xu Ming was so happy that he left the house with Xie Fengshan and rushed to the back mountain together: "That's good, I thought I wouldn't be able to wait."

"Who is my grandfather? What are you afraid of?" Xie Fengshan rolled his eyes and said angrily.

Xu Ming snorted disdainfully: "I don't know who was more anxious than me before?"

Now, the two people who had been waiting for the good news finally relaxed a little bit, so they talked and laughed along the way.

Speaking of which, Xu Ming hasn't walked this road for several days, and he can no longer practice at the waterfall, so he spends these days practicing Qiankun Jue in the house.

Xu Ming can still recite the old man's instructions when he was in the hospital.

For example, before reaching the Aperture Realm, make Taibai Sword Technique the focus of your practice as much as possible. Even if your practice progresses relatively slowly, the benefits will be greater in the long run.

This majestic sword intention is the result of his practice of Taibai Sword Technique along the way.

If he hadn't followed the old man's instructions, his current cultivation level would be higher, maybe in the late stage of Qi-nourishing realm, but his sword power would definitely not be outstanding.

There is a pavilion deep in the bamboo forest.

After more than a month, the once-broken pavilion has been repaired and an additional fishing platform has even been built.

Of course, this was not an attempt to steal Xu Ming's money to expand, but Xie Zhu felt that since it was all rotten, he could build it from scratch and expand it slightly.

I happened to know that fishing was a hobby for my father in his middle age, so he took matters into his own hands.

The old man who has been in seclusion for nearly two months is not much different from before, except that the white hair on his head seems to eat away at more black hair, and there are more white parts.

It's like two armies confronting each other. The number of white hairs is strong and the general trend is holding them back. It's impossible not to be overwhelming.

Xie Longyuan sat cross-legged on the Diaoyutai, with his hands on his knees. In front of him was the frozen river.

The cool breeze is enough to make people miserable, but for Xie Longyuan, these are nothing.

Suddenly, the old man exhaled a breath that was as white as mist. He did not turn around and said, "Just sit over there in the pavilion."

With that said, he also stood up.

The two young men who came from Qianshan respectfully found a place to sit down without daring to speak.

If this had been the case before, Xu Ming would have been outspoken, but now he felt guilty and really did not dare to speak nonsense again.

Looking at the two nervous young people, Xie Longyuan sneered: "What? Am I so scary?"

Xie Fengshan just nodded and immediately shook his head like a wave: "Yeah, no, no, no."

Xie Longyuan glared at this kid, found a seat and sat down, and got straight to the point: "I've been thinking about it for a long time, and I think it's okay to tell you this story."

"The story is very long, I will try to tell it as short as possible."

At this point, he paused and continued: "I am telling you these old stories not to help you solve your problems, nor to let me vomit something out, but to give you a warning."

When Xu Ming and Xie Fengshan heard this, they sat upright and listened attentively, just like the best students under the teacher listening to the class.

This old man, who was clearly a martial artist but somewhat of a teacher, said eloquently: "Fengshan, I was too biased before and didn't care much about your father's feelings. I didn't know that your father had so much to say in his heart.

If you don’t say it out loud.”

When the news of Xie Fengshan's father's death came out, he was not actually dead.

However, he was also poisoned and seriously injured, unable to recover.

I don’t know if it was God’s favor, or whether it was because father and son were connected, or because of good luck, this old man saw his second son for the last time.

When he met his father, who had not had much communication with him since he was a child, Xie Fengshan's biological father Xie Yu just said something and made the old man a prisoner.

Did Xie Yu do it intentionally? No, he just felt that people were about to die and if they didn't express their thoughts, they would never have another chance.

Xie Yun said it was very simple. When Xie Longyuan repeated this sentence, he could see the helplessness on his face.

Xie Yun had never resented the old man, but had always regarded him as a target to pursue.

Even if the final result was unsatisfactory, he still felt that it was right and had no regrets.

Xie Yun liked to practice martial arts and read books since he was a child, so the etiquette of scholars is very strict. This is probably what Xie Longyuan, a rough man, doesn't like.

It was from that day that Xie Longyuan knew the true thoughts of his second son.

There was so little communication between the two that to outsiders they didn't look like a father and son.

But when I suddenly woke up, it was already too late, very late, very late.

Xie Longyuan regretted it too much. If he had not favored anyone and treated everyone equally, wouldn't this result have been achieved?

At least it won't be so regretful, right?

Xie Longyuan spoke concisely and concisely about this old story, trying to finish it in the shortest possible time.

The expression of a child's thoughts made a warrior who should have been in the cave realm hesitate to move forward, and his heart was knotted in a knot that was difficult to resolve.

Xie Longyuan knew that he would not be able to move forward unless he resolved the knot in his heart.

So he started reading books and began to see people from the subtleties.

Reading books, for no other reason than reading, I always feel that I can communicate with my lost second son and numb the guilt in my heart.

Seeing people's hearts in subtle ways is to treat everyone equally.
