The night in the town is always very quiet, and the night insects are silent. Only the sound of wings rubbing occasionally can be heard in the grass. But in such a quiet night, you can still hear some music if you listen carefully. But, like this
The music blends into the silence, making it impossible for people to recall when exactly the music appeared. It is so light, gentle, and natural as a part of nature.
When the music suddenly stops, only those who are slower can realize: Oh, there seemed to be the sound of a piano just now.
The sound suddenly stopped because someone appeared behind the musician.
"Why are you here?" The man took a few steps forward, "The underworld bell rang. I knew there were other impermanences nearby... I didn't expect it to be you. What's your mission here?"
"Girl... I would like to ask you, why did you come back here?"
Mr. Jiyue stood up and turned around. The stringless piano and the clear moonlight were behind him, illuminating his outline dimly. The visitor paused and took a deep breath before answering his question.
"After Chili left, I no longer returned to the master often... But in the final analysis, one cannot forget his roots. I left a handful of my hair in the Xue Yan Sect, and when necessary, burned it along with the letter.
I know. Something is happening in the valley now, and I have to get back."
"Really?"
Lord Jiyue raised her sleeves and stroked her forehead, gently took off her eye curtains, revealing a pair of clear eyes. She knew very well that this person was really blind, but no one could hide from such a gaze.
"Is it about Gu Zhong, or... is it about you?"
She paused.
"My business."
"Is this the first time they've contacted you like this in hundreds of years?"
"No, a few times...but I can count them on two hands. In fact, it's not a particularly important thing. At first, they would tell me when the leader changed, but later they wouldn't. This is also because I am getting busier and busier.
If nothing else happens, I will come back. This lock of hair is in the hands of a few masters in the valley, and not many people know about it. Although it is not a secret, even most of the disciples don't know about it."
"What happened?"
"They said - Mi Yin is here." Shuangyue Jun did not hide his anxious tone, "Although it is just the same name, but..."
"It's not the same name, it's her. I thought about it and decided to pretend that I didn't know it - you know me, and I don't want to interfere. But since you are here, I guess... this is God's will. Compared with this matter, another thing
The matter is more important, and I originally planned to contact you in this way, but not today."
"You must be busy with your own affairs when you appear here, so you couldn't find me in time."
"That's right... This journey makes me have no time to breathe and play the piano. Drinking tea and chatting with friends is as heavy as a task." Lord Jiyue shook his head gently and continued, "I am chasing an evil envoy.
The sound of the piano confirms the location. However, after playing for so long, there is no trace, so it must have left this area."
Lord Shuangyue then asked him: "Then what's important to you? Tell me quickly and let me do something."
"No." Mr. Jiyue forced a smile and turned away, "Since you already know, then... it is more important to deal with your troubles."
As soon as Mr. Jiyue finished speaking, Mr. Shuangyue suddenly took out the umbrella from his waist. The movement was as fast as a sword, and the sound was as frightening as breaking through the air. A third person appeared in such a conversation, silently. Although she held her breath and concentrated.
, Mr. Shuangyue was the first to notice her presence—perhaps the second person, but he was indeed the first to react.
In this case, that person had nothing to hide. She hesitated, but finally took the step forward. When she was completely exposed to the sight of the two of them, Shuangyue-kun frowned even more tightly.
"Who are you? How long have you been listening?"
"...It's really you."
The man did not answer her directly, but looked at Mr. Jiyue and said these words. She could not take her eyes away, and her pupils could only reflect the shadow of that person, and did not take Mr. Shuangyue into her eyes. Although Mr. Shuangyue
Angry, but the most important thing is not this, but what she has been eavesdropping for a long time. She did not defend anything, but took two steps closer after confirming, without any hesitation before.
"It's you, Miss Ye." Mr. Jiyue seemed to recognize him.
If they are really old acquaintances, Mr. Shuangyue has nothing to worry about. Logically speaking, he can just take the umbrella back and treat it as a misunderstanding. However, Mr. Shuangyue cannot do this. Mr. Jiujiyue is so gentle - but he has always been
In this way, his attitude could never indicate his true intention. With intuition, Lord Shuangyue realized... Lord Jiyue might not actually welcome this visitor.
"I've been looking for you."
Ye Xuici tried his best to suppress a certain kind of enthusiasm in his tone. This kind of enthusiasm made Lord Shuangyue feel uncomfortable... and also felt familiar. She had experienced this kind of enthusiasm, although now it had cooled down to the point where she was completely different. Moreover, she also
He had to find her. Therefore, when Lord Jiyue encountered a similar situation, she would inevitably be wary.
"You don't have to be so nervous," Lord Jiyue said to her, "it's just an old friend."
Old friend? Since Mr. Jiyue said so, she slowly put Ye Yinlu back into the umbrella tube. But she was still muttering in her heart and her eyes were alert. She knew Mr. Jiyue, so she was better than this man named Ye.
The girl knows better, so she is very sure that this person will bring a certain degree of... trouble to Mr. Jiyue. Therefore, she cannot leave yet.
"Why are you so obsessed with finding something? That wastes time. You should have your own life."
"...That's true. I didn't deliberately ask for your information, or use anything to track your traces. I know you probably don't like it. I'm just - I'm just surprised. I didn't expect to meet you here.
.”
"Well, I believe you." Jiyue-kun smiled, "How are you doing at Satsuki-kun's place?"
Lord Shuangyue understood. What surprised her from the beginning was the identity of this woman. Her moral conduct was not as deep as Lord Jiyue, so she could not identify her origin at the first time. Yes, she was a
The evil angel is a monster transformed from a human being, and Lord Shuangyue was initially attracted by such a special nature.
She was deceived. So she remembered that Ye Xueci should be the evil messenger of the thieves introduced to Lord Gaoyue by Lord Shuangyue. It was precisely because she was moving within the sight of Death Shadow Pavilion that she had not had any trouble so far.
It's a big deal... otherwise her demonic aura will be even worse. If she doesn't control it, Shuangyue Lord will also sense it in an instant.
"I'm living...a good life. I'm very grateful to you. It's all because of your blessing...I am, now," she said a little incoherently, but tried her best to maintain a normal attitude, "right now I am helping my friend's child.
Busy. We have to go find Yun Waijing."
"Yun Waijing?"
Lord Shuangyue repeated it. The last time she came to Xue Yan Valley was a long time ago, and she didn't ask about Yun Waijing's affairs the last few times she came. She didn't stay too long. If anything happened, she would naturally come to her.
——After all, Akatsuki knows everything. Since she has never seen Akatsuki, and no one specifically said anything to her when they saw her, it should be fine...or maybe he has already left, and there is no need to say goodbye anyway.
Lord Jiyue asked: "Then have you found the Yun Wai Mirror? The Yun Wai Mirror is a treasure that the Shadow Pavilion has wanted to obtain a long time ago. I thought they had lost interest long ago after failing for so long. After all, I recommended you to them.
At that time, they didn’t seem as happy as I thought.”
"You...who did you recommend to go to Death Shadow Pavilion?"
Lord Shuangyue was confused. It sounded like this girl named Ye could easily find Yun Waijing for someone. Lord Jiyue actually delivered such a dangerous person to Lord Gaoyue. However, since she herself became the Six Paths Impermanence
From now on, it will be known
She said that Death Shadow Pavilion's interest in Yun Waijing was not as good as before. Although she had personally experienced some... battles with people from Death Shadow Pavilion, she also knew that in the long, long years of getting along,
Hatred is not necessary. Lots of love
Hatred and hatred will be worn away in a long time. No matter who touches the hand of eternal life, they will be deeply aware of this. Therefore, although she still doesn't like Satsuki-kun's men very much, but generally
The conversation can still be done
Yes, as long as no one brings up more things in a mean-spirited way. Of course - even so, she still can't understand Jiyue Jun's behavior. After all, before she was alive, Jiyue Jun knew that because of some reasons about Yun Waijing, she and she
Many people are making a fuss...
"I have my own plan, you just need to trust me like before."
Lord Jiyue smiled again, an expression that would make anyone who had doubts feel guilty. This did not mean that Lord Shuangyue had really doubted him - never. She had always fully trusted this person, no matter what.
Before and after death.
Lord Shuangyue nodded. She quickly realized another angle: This may be a good thing. At least, this evil envoy is still operating within the scope of the Death Shadow Pavilion, and is still walking in the areas where Lord Jiyue can interfere. Although
, Lord Jiyue is not so willing from the bottom of his heart. Why? Lord Jiyue is free and easy by nature, and never forces himself to do things he doesn’t want to do. So what is there about this woman that deserves his extra attention? Just because,
Is she an evil angel?
Well, maybe that’s reason enough…
"I'm extremely sorry, I'm afraid we have to leave first." Lord Jiyue said to Ye Xuici, "If you overheard something... you must know that my colleagues are going to deal with another evil envoy with me.
That guy is cunning and not as reasonable as you, so we have to waste more time and manpower."
Lord Shuangyue was stunned for a moment, but she quickly reacted. Regardless of whether Ye Xuici heard it or not, she should have understood the meaning of Lord Jiyue's words. This statement was very clever and impeccable. She could escape skillfully and give the opponent enough face.
Fortunately, Ye Xuici is not a troublesome person. Although she is unwilling to admit it, at least compared to Mi Yin, she is not so... paranoid. Not yet.
"Okay, I won't disturb you."
Ye Xuici bowed deeply. Lord Jiyue had already picked up the Changqin and was about to leave. At the same time, she paused briefly and signaled Lord Shuangyue to follow. She quickly followed him in three steps and then two steps. However,
Before they had taken two steps, Ye Xuici called out to them again. Or rather - just called out to him.
"Then when can we meet again?"
Both of them stopped. However, Lord Jiyue did not look back. He just waved his sleeves and continued walking forward without saying a word. Only Lord Shuangyue looked back at her.
