I drank a few more glasses of wine and slept past midnight.

After washing up and having breakfast, Li Yun took Dongfang Yu'er and gently knocked on the wooden door of the inn's courtyard.

There was a commotion but no one answered the door. The wooden door opened with a gentle push.

The two of them entered the slightly deserted living room one after another, but there was no sign of Li Xiuyuan and Long Hongchen.

Moving forward, Dongfang Yu'er saw Hu Xuan pressing on the table. She was so surprised that she couldn't help but read out loud.

Whoever abandons me will not be able to retain yesterday’s day;

Those who disturb my mind will have many worries today.

The long winds send autumn geese flying thousands of miles away, and you can enjoy this high-rise building.

...

There was a cinnabar imprint of Immortal Luoxia on the signature place. Looking at Dongfang Yu'er, she couldn't help but sit down in a daze, speechless for a moment.

Li Yun stepped forward and murmured a few words:

Cut off the water with a knife and the water will flow more. Raising a cup to relieve sorrow will make it more sorrowful.

If life is unsatisfactory in this world, it will ruin the boat in the Ming Dynasty.

Looking at the sword intent that appeared on the paper, as if it was about to cut through the void, he was shocked and said: "What does this mean? Why can I see that there is water and fire between these words?"

What Dongfang Yu'er saw was the hint of injustice between the lines, but what Li Yun saw was the sword energy that vowed to cut through the void.

Although Li Xiuyuan is not yet able to blend the two sword energies of water and fire, two different sword energies are revealed between the lines.

"The one who abandoned me...does he dislike me and my sister for leaving him?

Dongfang Yu'er read it carefully and felt that her heart was filled with panic, and she couldn't help but said quietly.

Li Yun was full of love, looked at her and said with a smile: "It's not appropriate to let you go. If you want to see this sword intention in the future, just go to my place. I won't let anyone in your family misunderstand it."

It was not until this moment that Li Yun carefully savored the meaning of this word.

If it weren't for Dongfang Yu'er being sad, she would have burst into laughter long ago.

Having known Li Xiuyuan for so many years, she had never thought about having a sword spirit with this guy. Unexpectedly, in the end, it was because of Dongfang Yuer's thoughts that she fulfilled her wish.

Dongfang Yu'er looked at her and sighed, and said, "This guy, do you think he has given up? Or has he not given up?"

Li Yun was stunned and blurted out: "Can't let go? So what?"

...

The two women in the inn had their own thoughts, but Li Xiuyuan and Long Hongchen were galloping across the wasteland.

In front of us is Taiping Town.

After passing Taiping Town, Zhuxian Town was not far ahead. The road was too far, so Li Xiuyuan decided to rest for the night in Taiping Town.

"Brother, will those two sisters come here yesterday?" Seeing the majestic city from a distance, Long Hongchen suddenly thought of Li Yun who invited him to a big dinner.

Li Xiuyuan looked at the sky and smiled: "I don't know, they shouldn't be that fast, right?"

Long Hongchen thought for a while and said, "Brother, are we going to stay here today?"

Li Xiuyuan replied: "Stay one night and move on tomorrow."

…

Outside Taiping City, Long Hongchen thought about his brother's description of the outside world and the days after leaving the Demon, and a flower gradually bloomed on his face.

The two led the wildebeest to verify their identities and entered Taiping Town. Because the demon army had evacuated, the seven towns were basically undefended because there was no defense.

There is a large formation outside the city, and the monsters in the wasteland are not bold enough to attack the city.

Walking on the slightly deserted streets, Li Xiuyuan thought that there were still some days before the beginning of autumn, and the monks who wanted to go out for adventure were probably still on their way back.

After finding an inn to stay at, Long Hongchen was thinking about what Li Yun treated him to yesterday.

Li Xiuyuan didn't care. In his opinion, apart from eating, he would spend the next few days hiding in the inn and watching his brother practice swordplay.

After suffering for so many years, he also wanted to relax and take a rest.

After leaving the inn, they headed east and found a restaurant in Deyuelou. The two of them walked in. It was still early.

There is a flower hall at the entrance of Deyue Building. The building is three rooms high and half of it is suspended in the air. You can just see the flower hall on the first floor downstairs. There is a blood-red blanket at the entrance. Li Hongyuan thought of looking for a touch of blood red in the Crescent Valley.

The waiter who came out to greet the guests took them to the window on the second floor and sat down. He said that a distinguished guest on the first floor had reserved half of the place today, so the flower hall on this floor was vacated.

Sitting by the window, Li Xiuyuan subconsciously looked at the street outside the door. Sure enough, there was a waiter standing outside waiting for customers.

"Please serve me the specialty dishes in your restaurant for two people. No wine required!"

While Li Xiuyuan asked Long Hongchen to sit down, he reached out to pick up the herbal tea brought by the waiter and poured it into the cup.

The clerk knew that the monks who came to the Shura battlefield would not be short of money. Although there were only two teenagers in front of him, Li Xiuyuan gave him a calm and majestic feeling.

He nodded in agreement and said with a smile: "Please wait a moment, our guests, the food may be served a little slower today."

Li Xiuyuan waved and smiled: "We are not in a hurry."

Long Hongchen was not polite and reached out to grab the melon seeds on the table. With his brother here, he didn't have to worry about these things.

While admiring the view from the building, Li Xiuyuan's mind returned to the small courtyard of the Baiyuncheng Inn.

His relationship with Dongfang Yu'er was related to Li Hongxiu, and the jade pendant he bought in exchange for selling poems. No matter how clever he was, he never expected that the two would meet again on the Shura battlefield many years later.

And the final fate may be the poem that Li Yun wanted yesterday.

The words are as expected, everything in the past has gone with the wind, and what he has to face is the wind and rain on the road to the future.

Long Hongchen sat aside and ate melon seeds quietly. To him, compared with the life before him, it felt like heaven and earth.

Without Xiao Long'er, he couldn't make trouble alone, which was why Li Xiuyuan liked him.

Although it is difficult to manage, he will not cause trouble casually.

The two brothers sat quietly drinking tea and waiting for the waiter to serve the food, but the flower hall downstairs gradually became lively.

As the host of today's banquet, he welcomed the guests into the hall with a burst of laughter.

As people outside the building crowded in, the flower hall suddenly became lively. The big shots were all happy because the Shura battlefield was coming to an end.

After struggling on the verge of death for eight years, I can finally go home in the blink of an eye.

Amidst the sound of silk and bamboo, all kinds of exquisite tea and snacks have been put on the table. Whether it is the waiters in the building or the guests who come to the banquet, everyone has a smile on their face.

The host sat in a distinguished position, looked at the group of monks and said with a smile: "Everyone has been suffering for so many years, and only today can we dare to enjoy it so well. When we go back, we will raise a toast to celebrate together."

Although today's banquet is not as luxurious as the outside world, everyone knows that it is not easy to live and enjoy the present moment.

Everyone is looking forward to the coming of the Beginning of Autumn, redeeming their military merits and returning home early.

The host looked at the food and wine served by the waiters in the building and said with a smile: "Everyone, please relax and enjoy yourself here before autumn arrives."

Li Xiuyuan, who was sitting upstairs, gradually tightened his brows when he heard the voice of the owner downstairs.

If Nangong Ruyu were sitting here, he would have discovered that the host of today's banquet was the guy who was ambushing and plotting against her on Tianyao Mountain in the Valley of the Dead that year.

That Zhuge Xiongfeng took advantage of the daylight to escape in a hurry after breaking an arm.

Most of the guests here today, monks, have been on the battlefield of Shura, and there are some generals who are guarding the generals. They were also responsible for guarding the city in the four towns.

There were not many guests at the table today, and Li Xiuyuan took in all the guests at a glance, but there were only about twenty people and a few tables opened by his entourage, which made the building seem very lively.

After the food and wine were served, the banquet started in the building, and the flower hall was no longer dull. The big shots talked about the past, and the entourage talked about some casual jokes, such as who was drunk on the roadside last night, etc.

Li Xiuyuan flicked his sleeves to block out the noise downstairs.

Right now, he was standing in front of Zhuge Xiongfeng, and he might not be able to recognize himself.

One more thing is worse than one less thing. Since this guy didn't die that day and it was just Zhuge Xiongfeng who didn't come to trouble him, he wouldn't worry about what happened that day anymore.

Long Hongchen held the cup and took a sip of wine. He looked at Li Xiuyuan and said with a smile, "Brother, it's more lively here than we were in Baiyun City."

Li Xiuyuan looked at him and laughed, and said: "The world outside is more lively. When Xiao Long'er comes back, my brother will take him for a walk in the wilderness."

After all, this is the Shura battlefield, and there is a lot of difference compared to the outside world.

How could Long Hongchen know so much? In his memory, he had lost the joy of childhood since his mother left, and then his father also died.

For him, the best life in the world is as long as he does not go hungry every day.

Just like Goudan in the dog fighting town outside Tianluo City, he waits outside the bun shop every day, just hoping that a kind person will give him a fragrant fresh meat bun.

Li Xiuyuan gave him a piece of green vegetables and placed it beside the bowl. He said calmly: "You will have to eat more vegetables in the future. You can't always eat meat."

When Long Hongchen heard this, he immediately said with a bitter face: "Brother, Long Hongchen wants to eat meat!"

Li Xiuyuan smiled and said: "Then you also need to eat some vegetarian dishes, and the same goes for your sister Xiao Long'er."

After struggling to no avail, Long Hongchen had no choice but to eat the green vegetables in the bowl. Because even his sister wanted to eat, how could he dare to fight against his brother?

Upstairs, the two brothers were discussing whether Long Hongchen should eat vegetarian food. Downstairs, the atmosphere was already in full swing, and they were having a drink and chatting in high spirits.

The atmosphere gradually reached Li Xiuyuan's ears.

Zhuge Xiongfeng laughed and scolded: "I can't serve you well in the Shura battlefield. To be honest with you, when we return to Tianyu City, I will give you all the most famous women in Jade Street and you can invite them over."
