"Of course I have to fight. If I don't hit you, I'll have to feel depressed all the time." Su You snorted proudly and said confidently, as if he was better off beating Zhao Changyuan for Zhao Changyuan's sake.
Zhao Changyuan was lying on the ground, looking up at the night sky. The bright moon was bright and deserted, with only a few stars dotting the side. The complicated ups and downs in his heart calmed down in an instant. He raised his arms and put them on his forehead, breathing heavily.
"Lying there, waiting to catch a cold?" Su You's dissatisfied scolding came from the front.
"Here we come." Zhao Changyuan grinned, climbed up on his hands, and trotted a few times to catch up with Su You.
"Master, when will the competition between you and the master of Jiuyou Hall begin?" Zhao Changyuan walked beside Su You, tilting his head and asking with twinkling black eyes.
Su You narrowed his eyes, glared at Zhao Changyuan, turned around and said, "I don't have time to pay attention to him, let him wait."
"Master is amazing." Zhao Changyuan stretched out his palm, fiercely cupped his hand towards Su You and said.
Nowadays, the only person in the world who can be so tough on the Master of Jiuyou Hall is probably the one next to him.
Under the cover of night, the master and the apprentice walked quickly while chatting, and soon returned to the courtyard. Zhang Linfeng, who heard the noise, quickly greeted them out.
"Brother Shen, what are you doing?" Zhang Linfeng's eyes brightened when he saw the suspected scars on Zhao Changyuan's face, and he blinked and asked.
"Uncle Su, help me stretch my muscles." Zhao Changyuan chuckled and led Zhang Linfeng into the warm room.
Su You was still asleep. Zhao Changyuan stepped forward to check and found that Gong Yueyue's expression improved a bit in his sleep. His facial features became much calmer, and his heart suddenly felt more relaxed again.
Su You also casually stepped forward, glanced at Gong Yueyue a few times, his eyes showed satisfaction, and then he went to find a place to sleep with confidence.
After a while, a soft snore could be heard in the dilapidated room filled with warm yellow light.
Zhang Linfeng turned his head, looked at the sleeping Su You, and stuck out his tongue at Zhao Changyuan.
"Master, I'm afraid he hasn't slept a wink for a few days." Zhao Changyuan pursed his lips softly, said softly to Zhang Linfeng, and walked up to cover Su You with the quilt.
"Tonight you can only share a bed with me." Zhao Changyuan lowered his voice and smiled happily at Zhang Linfeng.
Because Zhao Changyuan's bed was unceremoniously occupied by Su You.
"Obviously you and I were squeezed together." Zhang Linfeng wrinkled his little nose, hummed softly, and quickly climbed onto his little bed.
That night, everyone slept peacefully because of Su You's presence. Su You was like a calming needle, calming everyone's anxious and confused minds.
When the sun shone on his face, Su You finally yawned and sat up straight.
"Dad, it's already afternoon." Gong Yueyue leaned on the bedside, looking at Su You not far away, and laughed with her mouth open.
"How are you feeling today?" Su You grinned, raised his hand and rubbed his still handsome face, stood up and walked towards Gong Yueyue, seemingly not surprised that Gong Yueyue woke up again.
"I feel like my internal strength is slowly recovering." Gong Yueyue raised her head and looked at her father's face, her heart filled with gratitude and warmth.
"That's good." Hearing this, Su You nodded heavily, his eyes full of smiles.
For those who practice martial arts, internal strength is the most important thing. As long as the internal strength is restored, everything will be easy.
"We will leave here after junior sister's condition is under control in two days." Zhao Changyuan said as he strode in with steaming porridge.
"With me here, it doesn't matter if you stay a few more days." Su You waved his hand and said generously and happily, as if he had completely forgotten that he was forcing Zhao Changyuan to promise to let Gong Yueyue get out of bed within three days.
Zhao Changyuan smiled warmly and handed Su You a bowl of porridge without saying anything else. But he knew that no matter how powerful Su You was, he could not guarantee that he could protect the three of them during the siege. He would still leave when it was time to leave.
"Where do you plan to go next?" Su You just said casually, and then asked Zhao Changyuan.
"We originally planned to go to Quanzhou." Zhao Changyuan sat next to Gong Yueyue, blowing on the white porridge in the bowl carefully.
"Dad, didn't you support us in competing for the position of leader of the martial arts alliance?" Gong Yueyue sat on the bedside, waiting for Zhao Changyuan's service, and said to Su You in a good mood.
"I didn't know you would be injured so badly." Su You snorted and put the bowl on the table.
"But this place is still far from Quanzhou. By the time we get there, my injury will have been cured long ago." Su You's pretty face showed an indifferent look, as if she was quite interested in the position of leader of the martial arts alliance.
Su You frowned slightly and wanted to say something but didn't. He just picked up the bowl and took a few sips.
Zhao Changyuan touched his nose and didn't think about the martial arts leader for the time being. He just patiently fed spoonfuls of white porridge into Gong Yueyue's mouth, because Gong Yueyue still didn't have the strength to lift his wrist.
After eating, before Zhao Changyuan cleaned up, he saw Su You yelling at him again: "Zhao Changyuan, come with me."
"Master, do you have anything else to tell me?" Zhao Changyuan followed him out honestly and asked Su You in a low voice.
"Do you know why I asked Gong Yueyue to participate in the martial arts leader conference?" Su You stood with his hands behind his hands, his face solemn, and asked Zhao Changyuan in a deep voice.
"To train junior sister?" Zhao Changyuan touched his nose and said with a somewhat uncertain tone.
"This is only a small part." Su You still looked serious, and Zhao Changyuan couldn't help but feel surprised.
"Is it possible that it's for me?" Zhao Changyuan raised his eyebrows and asked, pointing at himself.
This time, Su You continued to maintain a serious expression, but nodded.
"What does the Wulin Leaders Conference have to do with me?" Zhao Changyuan asked with a frown and looked back at the direction of the room.
"At this year's Wulin Leaders Conference, something very beneficial to you will appear." Su You said in a deep voice.
"Master, please make it clear." Zhao Changyuan handed over his hand. He really didn't expect that there was something of his own in it.
"Don't think that I don't know about the bad things your kid has caused in the world. Do you really want to wait until the day when the whole world is chasing you?" Su You glared at him fiercely.
"Sure enough, I can't hide anything from Master." Zhao Changyuan coughed lightly, with a hint of helplessness on his face, and spread his hands and said:
"I really don't have any supreme martial arts secrets or magic medicine with me, no matter how I explain it, no one will believe it."
"Jiuyou Palace is the most powerful force installed by the court in the world. You are involved with him and you still want to be spotless?" Su You sneered and stared at Zhao Changyuan with a playful look.
"Apprentice, you can't help yourself." Zhao Changyuan could no longer maintain his composure, and he had a look of helplessness on his face.
He knew that Su You had a deep friendship with Jianghu and hated Chaotang, so he had no good impression of Jiuyou Palace.
Su You frowned again, still not satisfied with Zhao Changyuan's answer. (To be continued)
