Yue Jian looked at the empty courtyard and frowned slightly.
The apostles from Shenhe Peak picked up everyone who had helped Sun Li escape from Tianxuan City.
As the only person not involved in this matter, Tsukimi was not included in the invitation list.
Naturally, there is no chance to go to Kamigawa Peak.
"Let's go now. Miss Tsukimi doesn't want to be hungry at home alone."
"By the way, if you don't know how to cook, just wait peacefully at home. When we come back, we will pack you some leftovers."
Thinking of Ziyu's arrogant face when she left, Yue Jian suddenly felt angry.
"Humph! Isn't it Kamigawa Peak? Who knows how to go there?" She muttered, stamping her feet.
The meal that Meng Ziliang ordered in the name of Liuhuan Peak at Jinyutang expired yesterday, so Yue Jian could only buy some ingredients by herself and deal with them as she pleased - she didn't have much money left.
After eating, she looked at the empty courtyard and felt a little uncomfortable.
She seemed to be used to being with that noisy group of people.
Although Ziyu doesn't deal with her.
Although that Chu Zhaozhao woman was very close to Chu Qingxiao.
But she was used to being alone, and suddenly she had friends. When she returned to such loneliness again, she still felt a little at a loss.
She thought they were already very good friends.
But what she didn't expect was that no one mentioned a series of things about Sun Li to her.
Meng Jin took Zhu Quan and attracted Zheng Lingyin's attention in the sword-wielding hall.
Chu Qingxiao, Sanniang or Ziyu Chu Zhaozhao went to steal the prairie fire sword.
Then he teamed up with Meng Ziliang and escorted Sun Li to Quhui City, fulfilling the old man's last wish.
She was the only one left in this small courtyard. That night she was still confused as to why everyone had disappeared. It was not until she heard the news about the closure of Liuhuan Peak that she guessed the whole story.
And finally waited until everyone came back, listening to them discussing with great interest the scene of the Liaoyuan Sword being promoted to the Tiangang Divine Sword, and talking about how powerful the Mu Peak Masters were, and lamenting how miserable Sun Li was.
She felt as if she was out of tune with everyone, and to the group of people in front of her, she was like an outsider.
That's why they forget themselves on such an important matter.
And this feeling reached its extreme when everyone was moved to the rhythm of Shenhe Peak.
She doesn't like Tianxuan Mountain, nor does she care about the gift of Shenhe Peak.
She just...
I don't like the feeling of being left behind.
Just like many years ago, her father left and never came back.
It's also like the clan members who have died on the road one after another over the years.
She walked to the door of the small courtyard somewhat gloomily.
There, Xu Dangren was lying on the wicker chair, with his blind eyes closed, one hand stroking the sword blade in his arms, and the other hand gently tapping the armrest of the wicker chair.
Following the beating rhythm in his mouth, he hummed a familiar tune that Yishou Yue Jian had often heard his tribe sing when he was a child, but could not remember the name.
"Grandpa." She stood in front of the old man and said softly.
The old man lying on the wicker chair did not open his eyes, but he stopped humming and responded vaguely: "Yeah."
Yue Jian hesitated for a while, and then said: "I don't want to stay here anymore."
Xu Dangren still maintained the same posture as before, and asked in a low voice without raising his head: "What's wrong?"
"No...nothing." Yue Jian said, his head lowered unconsciously: "We shouldn't have stayed here in the first place. We should go back to Xizhou to find our clansmen who may still be alive..."
"The sea of people is vast. Those who survived the disaster have long been anonymous. It is extremely difficult to find them. What's more, in today's world, although the Dayu State is not said to be impregnable, it is by no means shaky. King Wu
Qin Huan holds all the power in the world, so what if he finds his clan members?" Xu Dangren asked slowly.
Such a question made Yue Jian's face darken, but he still couldn't help but mutter: "But...but we shouldn't stay here."
"Tianxuan Mountain is our enemy..."
"Since you shouldn't stay here." Xu Dangren slowly sat up and opened his eyes. There seemed to be some strange light flashing in the white eye sockets.
He faced Yue Jian and asked quietly: "Then why did you choose to come here again in the first place?"
This question made Yue Jian's face suddenly turn red.
The next moment, the girl was a little panicked.
"me……"
Although Xu Dangren was blind, his mind was clear. He didn't wait for Yue Jian to give the answer. At that time, he continued: "Is it because of the child?"
Yue Jian was stunned, of course he knew what Xu Dangren was referring to.
"That kid is indeed good, but you can't always get a response from him. Since you like him, you have to take the initiative. For some people, if you just wait and wait, he will become someone else's." Yue Jian was still a little embarrassed,
Xu Dangren's voice sounded again.
Yue Jian heard this and his face turned redder.
"Grandpa! I didn't tell you this!" she said, stamping her feet.
"But we are actually talking about the same thing." Xu Dangren said seriously.
"Why is it the same thing?" Yue Jian was puzzled.
Xu Dangren was silent for a while, and then said quietly: "If you want to leave, you just feel that you are being left out, but there are some things that you have to take the initiative."
"And we have been wandering for so many years, and that child is the one I am most satisfied with. I feel that I am most relieved to entrust you to him."
Yue Jian was stunned for a moment, and then she said excitedly: "Grandpa, I don't want anyone else. We can take care of each other, and we don't need anyone else."
Xu Dangren stretched out his hand at this time. Yue Jian seemed to know what he was thinking and also understood that the other person's eyes could not see, so he put his head under the other person's hand.
The old man also felt this, a smile appeared on his lips, and he stretched out his hand to rub Yue Mi's head, just like he did when he was a child.
"Silly boy, grandpa can't stay with you forever. I..."
"My time is almost up."
Yue Jian paused and said almost subconsciously: "Grandpa, what nonsense are you talking about? You are..."
After she said this, her heart suddenly shook, as if she thought of something, and her eyes fell on the sword in the old man's arms.
"you want……"
The old man nodded, turned his head, faced the direction of Tianxuan Mountain, and murmured: "The peak master is about to be released from seclusion, and once she comes out of seclusion, she will definitely come to congratulate her. I'll wait.
I have been waiting for this day for so many years and I have to do it."
At this moment, Yue Jian no longer had the intention to discuss her daughter's thoughts. Her expression changed drastically, and she moved forward unconsciously: "But King Wu is said to have reached the tenth realm. Grandpa, how can you be his opponent?"
Xu Dangren's face was expressionless.
He just reached out and stroked the sword in his arms again, looking up at the starry sky.
At that moment, there was a fierce light surging in his white eye sockets.
He said.
"I have a solution."
…
That conversation made Yue Jian's heart sink to the bottom.
She had many things to say to the old man.
But when the words came to his lips, he didn't know how to say them.
She and Xu Dangren have been wandering together for more than ten years. Along the way, they watched Zeng Jin's home be reduced to ruins under the iron hoof of the Shenwu Army under the command of King Wu, and watched each clan member die in the pursuit of the imperial court.
The kind of hatred that goes deep into the bone marrow is like a hut covered with firewood. Once a spark falls, flames will rise into the sky and drown the person.
So Yue Jian understands that once that decision is made, there is no room for turning back.
Can……
What she understood better was that once Xu Dangren really did this, there would be almost no possibility for him to survive.
That was the last tribesman who accompanied her to escape from Jianyue City.
Over the years, they have depended on each other.
Treat each other as your everything.
Once Xu Dangren leaves, Yue Jian will really be the only one left...
Tsukimi returned to his room, lowered his head and sat on his bed.
She felt a little wronged and a little guilty.
She didn't understand why she was experiencing this.
Jianyue City is obviously such a good place. They are born with swords. Wherever there is injustice in the world, the swordsmen of Jianyue City will go there.
They conquered Zhuyin in the south, Yinsi in the west, and Longkui in the east. The lives they saved were countless.
However, one day, the label of rebellion was slapped on him, and Jianyue City was attacked by King Wu's army overnight.
So the city was destroyed and the family was destroyed.
So he was displaced.
She was even more angry at her own incompetence.
Obviously, when he was in his early ten years, he was given enlightenment by Uncle Xu, and he improved his cultivation to the fourth level. However, no matter how hard he tried for so many years, he made no progress.
If she could work harder and have a good enough talent, she might be able to see the hope of revenge in herself, and Grandpa Xu would probably not be ready to take risks at this age...
She doesn't want to be alone.
She felt scared and panicked.
Thinking like this, Yue Jian could no longer suppress the emotions in her heart. Her eyes turned red, and tears instantly flowed down her cheeks.
In the small room, the girl tried her best to suppress, but could not suppress the sobs echoing.
The candlelight flickered gently.
The room flickered in and out of darkness.
And in this atmosphere.
Next to the girl, a seemingly ordinary wooden box placed on the wooden table suddenly emitted bursts of black aura.
That wooden box has been in this house for a long time.
It's called the Wan Ling Box.
It was something given to Yue Jian by a man named Lu Zhangming in a dark alley more than half a month ago.
He said that as long as he kept the wooden box for a month, Yue Jian would be rewarded with five thousand spiritual iron jade.
Tsukimi had secretly wondered if there was something strange about this wooden box, but after looking at it carefully several times, she couldn't tell what was inside.
But at this moment, something strange finally happened to the wooden box.
The girl who was trapped in a gloomy mood did not notice this strangeness.
Let the black aura pouring out of the wooden box spread in the room, and then slowly rush toward her...
