Sure enough, when they woke up the next morning, Lu Yanran was already gone. Ling Long woke up early and dropped her off outside of Wang Xian Town before returning reluctantly.

At that time, Zhong Minyan and the others had already gotten up and were chatting with Boss Zhao while having breakfast. Ling Long looked around, but did not see Xuanji, she couldn’t help but sigh, “My sister is still not up.”

Zhong Minyan took a sip of porridge and hummed, “If she someday starts practicing at the first crow of the rooster[1], the sun will come out from the west!”

Linglong glared at him and pouted, “You always give a hard time to my sister, it’s really annoying!” After that, she ran to the room to wake Xuanji and dragged her to breakfast.

After the meal, Yu Sifeng took the map out of his pocket and said, “When you leave Wang’Xian town, there should be a deserted[2] forest to the east. We don’t need to walk from there, we can fly straight to Gao’s Mountain, where there is Hongze Lake nearby. I heard that the scenery is excellent.”

Linglong heard that there was some fun, and naturally nodded hurriedlu. Ruo’Yu smiled and said, “There is Zhongli City there, which is considered a famous big city. Minyan, you usually practice in Shaoyang Mountain. You haven’t been to the busy areas.”

Zhong Min Yan nodded his head, “Master told me that a cultivator should be as calm as water and not greedy for the splendor of the world.”

“Little Six, don’t always say ‘Master this, and Master that’. Since we’re out here, we should have fun. Ruo’Yu, What is there to do in Zhongli City?”

When Ling Long speaks, Zhong Min Yan plays dumb and obediently does as he’s told.

Ruo’Yu smiled and said, “I only heard that in February every year, there will be a big festival there, and the whole city will come out, and it will be very lively. Counting the date, even though we’re a few days early, it doesn’t matter.”

Once Linglong heard about something fun, she couldn’t stay still. She stuffed her breakfast down in a few bites and almost choked to death. She wiped her mouth and went to pack her things and leave. When Xuanji saw that she was in such a hurry, she took it as something urgent and stuffed the remaining half of the pancake into her mouth, but as a result, she choked on it and clapped his hands on the table.

“Slow down. Here, have some water.” Yu Sifeng hurriedly raised the tea cup to her mouth and helped her drink a bit. When he saw that her face had calmed down, he smiled bitterly and said, “You look like a child who has never grown up. How can you eat like this?”

Xuanji swallowed everything in her mouth with great difficulty, then she opened her eyes wide and said, “Is there anything urgent? Where are we going later?”

Yu Sifeng only continued to laugh helplessly. When he saw that there was some cotton wool on her forehead, he couldn’t help but twist it off for her and said softly, “When you will be able to concentrate on listening to people, the sun will really come out from the west.”

When she was still staring at him blankly, he said softly, “No matter where you go, you just follow me.”

She nodded obediently, and in return he smiled slightly, “…as long as you don’t fear that I will sell you out.”

Si Feng has been very strange lately. Xuanji went back to the room to pack things, and while thinking about the things that happened since meeting him again, it seems that he hasn’t changed at all. He still understands a lot of things and is very orderly, but it seems that he has changed a lot and always says something ambiguous. Although it has been four years since then, she feels that everything is the same as before, but perhaps to him, there is still something different.

Linglong on the side had already packed up her things, and came over to help wrap hers up quickly. When she saw that she was so absent-minded, she wrapped and wrapped and wrapped her clothes into a lump of cloth, and she teased her with a smile: “What are you thinking about? Come, talk to your sister.”

As if she was her best friend, she took Xuanji’s hand and sat down beside her, her eyes sparkling and shining.

Xuanji hesitated for a moment before she said, “Linglong, do you feel that Sifeng seems to have changed a lot?”

Linglong knew she was going to talk about Sifeng’s topic, and that her sister was fine in other aspects, but some aspects were more incomprehensible to her than a three-year-old child. She laughed and said, “Where has he changed? You tell me first.”

“He seems to say things that are hard to understand, and his attitude is different than before… Am I being too paranoid?” Xuanji was worried that she was too sensitive.

Linglong can’t help but smile, but on the surface, she says, “It’s really your fault. In my opinion, Sifeng is no different from before. Do you not like him?”

“No way!” Xuanji hurriedly defended herself, “I…I like him very much! Sifeng seems to know everything. He’s amazing and treats us so well, how can we not like him?”

Linglong sighed, “That…could be that he doesn’t like you anymore.”

Well, is that the truth? Xuanji suddenly realized that it was really because he was angry because he hadn’t contacted him in four years, that’s why he said such strange things that night, so… his attitude had changed!

Linglong saw her twist her sash into a twist and almost burst out laughing. She forced away her laughter and sighed again, “Speaking of which, he still refuses to take off the mask, it’s unfamiliar. I guess he still blames you for not writing to him for four years. Forget it, Xuanji. You can’t force him to do that. From now on, don’t make Sifeng angry again, talk to him more. Remember to please him more, understand?”

So that’s it! Well, please him, please him…….

Finally, they finished packing up their things and thanked the people of Zhao’s residence for asking them to stay, and the five of them flew with the sword to Zhongli City, further east.

During Flying Sword, what is important is to have no distracting thoughts. Otherwise, they would easily fall from the sword, which is ten thousand feet in the air, and the fall would not be pleasant. In the past, Xuanji was the fastest swordsman in the world, flying high and steady because she never had any distracting thoughts in her mind. Today, she doesn’t know how to do it, and it flies slowly and low. She tilted her body enough to fall off the sword several times. Yu Sifeng was so scared that he stayed beside him, and turned his head back and called Linglong, “Xuanji is not in good condition today, Linglong, will you take her yo fly?”

There is a ghost in Linglong’s heart, she just pretended not to hear, and flew in front of them with Zhong Minyan. Seeing that these children’s personal affairs were not easy to intervene on her own, Ruo’yu pretended to be deaf.

“Never mind, you come up here.”

Yu Sifeng held Xuani, gently placed her behind her and flew steadily forward. After flying for a while, he felt her gripping his sleeve tightly, twisting her fingers around and around, making a ball of the patterns on his sleeve. He couldn’t help laughing, “What are you thinking about?”

Xuanji hemmed and hawed for a long time, and finally looked up, her eyes shining brightly, and asked seriously, “Sifeng, how should I please you so that you will be happy?”

He was so stunned that the sword under his feet immediately slipped, and they almost fell down together.

Why do you ask this? Yu Si-feng was so depressed that he looked down at Xuan-kei and saw that she really took it as a serious question. He laughed bitterly in his heart, but on his face he said, “Who taught you this?”

Xuanji thought that he was still unhappy and pulled his sleeve, saying, “Sifeng, it’s my fault for not writing for four years. Don’t be angry, okay? Or you can scold me, you can hit me twice! No problem!”

He smiled beneath his mask and said, “Can a little scolding make my anger for four years go away?”

How do we do that? Xuanji was helpless.

“I…don’t have anything valuable to compensate you.”

He still laughed, “Can money buy four years of memories?”

Now she was completely speechless.

The wind blew from all directions and her hair brushed against his neck, numb and cold. She is a person who is always so unintentional, who does not want to make mistakes, who does not want to hold grudges, who turns others upside down, while she herself is so careless and dazed.

Sometimes, she should be punished a little so that she will understand what she has done.

But…….

The fact that she is so soft to help up, like a spoiled kitten, is enough to make one’s heart flutter before she even meows.

It’s really hard to bear.

Even though you know that the back of that pitiful look is always unintentional, you still can’t bear it.

It is really like what Master said, he met the devil in his life, and he didn’t even have the room to struggle, he willingly entered the devil.

Suddenly he held her hand tightly, and whispered, “Xuanji, in fact, I am not angry with you at all. As long as you…why not four years, even if it’s fourteen years or forty years, so what!”

He finally said what was hidden in his heart. After speaking, he felt there was a rabbit in his chest, jumping suddenly. After waiting for a long time, the girl behind him did not say anything. He had to look back at her, but saw her looking down in thought. After a while, she raised her head and smiled brightly, “Forty years is too long, Sifeng. Let’s not separate for the next four days.”

Really?

There was a lump in his throat and he could not say another word.
