What is lost is the east corner, and what is gained is the mulberry tree.
Poyue Pavilion's trip north failed to capture the Chonghua Sect in one fell swoop. Instead, it took the opportunity to severely inflict heavy losses on dozens of other sects. Three days of fierce fighting resulted in the total destruction of one-third of the elite in the current martial arts world, while the remaining two-thirds were eliminated except for
The border area occupies a small amount, and nearly half of it belongs to Poyue Pavilion.
Dominating the martial arts world has become unstoppable.
Wei Moyan suffered only external injuries, which could actually be healed in a few days. However, he still resolutely issued the order to return to Lanling. If not for other reasons, it was just to allow Xia Qingluan to have a good rest and receive treatment.
On the way back, she still had to face many ambushed enemies. Although Xia Qingluan's injuries were not serious, she was physically weak over time and was overly exhausted from that battle. Wei Moyan did not even allow her to walk alone, so the two of them rode on the same horse until the breaking of the moon.
In front of the pavilion.
Probably, this has confirmed the relationship between the two.
The Chonghua Sect has not been destroyed, the hegemony has not been achieved, and there are still many things waiting for him to do, but Xia Qingluan knows in her heart that it is not far from the time when she fulfills her promise, and the two of them are separated, and there should be a result.
.
The time for another expedition to Chonghua was set in half a month. When the doctor came to deliver medicine to Zixiu, she stopped by Hongxian and told her that it would take at least ten days to return to her original state, and that during this period, she must take a lot of supplements.
Guarantee the speed of recovery. Those expensive and hard-to-find rare herbs are not difficult for Poyue Pavilion. In a word from the Pavilion Master, from Donghu to Baiyue, there is an endless supply of miraculous elixirs and rare treasures that are beneficial to strengthening internal energy and stabilizing the mind.
After entering the pavilion, Xia Qingluan's room suddenly became an extremely wealthy and luxurious place.
"Listen to some nonsense. I'm not sick. I'll be fine after a few days of rest." In the pavilion, the woman who had changed into white clothes showed dissatisfaction in her words. She had never liked luxurious things.
The slender figure leaning on the railing just raised the corner of his mouth and smiled, raised his head and raised his hand, and another mellow fragrance entered his heart.
"You are injured, drink less."
Xia Qingluan had also advised him not to drink too much in the past. At that time, they had suspicions about each other, but a word of concern ended up causing a quarrel. Now of course they won't, but Wei Moyan may not be willing to put down the drink obediently. After all, it has been many years.
to form a habit.
"I thought it was boring a few days ago, so I asked Yu Qing to have a drink with him. I promised him to have a drink when he came back, but who thought that he would not live up to expectations and be injured so badly." Wei Moyan looked at the distant mountains, surrounded by smoke and clouds.
He felt a little regretful, "There are fewer and fewer people available in the pavilion. Four more hosts have been lost in this battle. There is no time to find talents before we conquer Chonghua again."
In the battle at Liyou Valley, four hosts with poor martial arts sacrificed their lives. Shen Yuqing, the deputy master of Tianshi Hall, desperately attacked the strongest one on the other side. In order to share the pressure on the master and Hongxian, he was seriously injured. Fortunately,
Not fatal.
Since the last time she left Poyue Pavilion angrily, the personnel in the pavilion had changed several times. When she came back disappointed, she had not noticed anyone leaving and disappearing. It was not until she came back this time that she discovered that Shaozai, Yan, and the others had gone to Wanqi Mansion.
Xiao Qian disappeared. After asking people, he found out that Yan was the traitor who betrayed her and Wei Moyan. Although he was surprised, he didn't say much. After all, she was the direct reason for Lu Hanhai's breakup. Xiao Qian's
Her whereabouts seemed to have been lost before she went to church with Wan Qi Haoyue. Wei Moyan sent people around to inquire about her, but so far there is no news.
"By the way, where is Shaozai? I haven't seen him since I came back."
The hand holding the wine cup paused, and Xia Qingluan could clearly feel that his breath had stagnated for a moment.
"Young Master?" His tone was a little stiffer than before. Wei Moyan hesitated for a while and put down his wine glass, "You know how the cabinet treats betrayers."
Betrayal... The white figure suddenly trembled. Hunting orders from the Twelve Branches were spread all over the place, and Shaozai also received orders to intercept him on the way to Jiannan. If the innocent young man who looked very much like Xiao Bai hadn't betrayed him in the face of the battle, what would he have done now?
She might have died by then.
"How many people do you have to kill before you give up?" Xia Qingluan grabbed the man who was leaning on the railing, with a hint of anger in his eyes, "He has never betrayed you. If he hadn't helped me, I would have died long ago.
On the way to Jiannan. If helping me is wrong, then why not kill me too?"
She had expected such a reaction when she mentioned Shao Zai. Wei Moyan knew that the relationship between her and Shao Zai was like a brother and sister, so although he was dissatisfied with her questioning like this, he could only try his best to explain: "Don't say goodbye first."
Excited, I didn’t kill him—come with me.”
Xia Qingluan hesitated for a moment, and finally put her hand in his outstretched palm.
He liked to hold her hand like this, and when no one was around, he was always willing to play some childish tricks to deliberately create opportunities, not at all like a arrogant king who would kill with cold eyes.
In other words, after returning from Liyou Valley, he became more like a mortal.
According to the traditional rules of Poyue Pavilion, anyone who betrays will have his Dantian meridians destroyed and will never be allowed to enter the territory of Poyue Pavilion, and Shaozai is no exception.
No one knows whether the Pavilion Master intends to forgive him because he saved Hongxian, or whether it was because of Shaozai's last wish. The Deputy Hall Master of Taiwei Hall was not immediately deposed and expelled, but was taken to other Hall Masters.
A place that even the host doesn’t know about.
It was a dense bamboo forest behind Poyue Pavilion. Walking a few hundred meters in, where you couldn't hear the sound of people outside, there was a simple bamboo house.
"Young Zai!" In the room that didn't even have a door, there was almost only a skinny boy sleeping quietly with his eyes closed, with a peaceful smile on his face. He didn't know who he saw in his dream. Xia Qingluan ran to the bed,
Looking at that young but haggard face, I became increasingly angry: "It is worse to die than to live in such a weak state, why not kill him!"
"His crime will not lead to death. What keeps him here is just obsession. I made him a wish. Who knows, that wish actually saved his life and he persists until now."
Wei Moyan spoke calmly, "Shao Zai's chest had serious internal injuries caused by his rage. If someone hadn't been sent to take care of him these days, I'm afraid the young man wouldn't have been able to wait until the day when his wish came true."
What wish could make him, who was ruthless, open to the public? Xia Qingluan wondered, how many people had knelt in front of him and begged but never saved their lives. Shaozai was an honest child, so naturally he would not use any means to embarrass him, so why?
Is it enough to contain his wishes?
Seeing her doubts, there was a hint of warmth in his dark eyes: "He said he just wanted to call you sister."
The thin shoulders trembled violently, and Hua Yan, who was cold and slightly angry, suddenly changed her color and turned to the side, as if she didn't want to be seen by him.
With a soft sigh that was not a sigh, Wei Moyan knew that the expressionless woman in front of him who was killing people was not as cold and cruel as the rumors. Perhaps she was the most emotional among the seven-story Zhu Pavilion. Just based on this sentence.
Wishes can make her cry secretly.
"Now that the past has passed, his sins should be wiped out after months of torture. After all, I gave the wrong order." The black figure walked to the bedside and took the quiet woman into his arms from behind.
, looking at the young man on the bed who had not woken up for a long time with a slightly apologetic look, "I hide him here because I am afraid that you will be sad when you see him, and it will only increase your annoyance. If you are willing, he will still be your deputy hall master, and I will arrange for him to come back."
Rest in the pavilion, and when he wakes up, his wish will come true."
"No, don't let him come back again." Xia Qingluan did not resist his embrace, but she rested her head under his chin naturally. Her voice was quite pitiful, "People like Shaozai should not step into the world. If possible, I
I hope you can send him to a place where he is free from the world. I don’t want to see anyone make the same mistake as Xiao Bai." There was a pause, and then his eyes were full of tenderness: "That wish, just give it to him as a way to survive.
The purpose."
Everyone has to live with their wishes. If that sister can make him live an active life in the second half of his life, then what if we are separated from him? Xiao Bai is so close to her but is affected by it, maybe less
Zai should stay away from her.
She doesn't want to lose her loved ones again.
"No matter where the world ends, I will accompany you until the end." The hands in front of her were tightly clasped in her pink fists, her voice was blurry and soft, penetrating through the ages, "Although we are not born together, we will die together, and we will never leave you alone."
