The elders of Mount Shu rode their flying swords and chased after the man in black. In just a short while, they had traveled hundreds of miles. The man in black seemed to be trying to shake them off, but Yuan Yun was the fastest among the elders. He maintained his full speed like a shooting star and was about to catch up with the man.
The black-clothed man had no choice but to put away his sword and jump to the ground. He turned around and said to Yuan Yun,""Shixiong, don't chase anymore. We've already left Mount Shu.”
"Who's your senior brother!" When Yuan Yun heard that the black-clothed man still dared to call him Senior Brother, he couldn't help but get angry. He turned into a red flame and landed on the ground. He said angrily,"You disturbed the peace of Mount Shu. Today, I will capture you and ask you for an explanation!”
Yuan Yi, who came later, heard Yuan Yun's righteous indignation and could not help but laugh."Hehe, Junior Brother, I think you shouldn't make things difficult for him.”
Although Yun Yuan was puzzled, he did not agree with Yuan Yi's words. He complained to Yuan Yi angrily,"Senior Brother, why are you…?”
Before Yuan Yun could finish speaking, a voice suddenly sounded from the sky,""Junior Brother, do you know who this black-robed man is?”
When Yun Yuan saw that it was Sect Head Senior Brother Chang Feng and Shou Zhen who had rushed over together, he couldn't help but frown and say,"I know he is not Changtian, but he is trying to disrupt Mount Shu. He is an enemy, not a friend!”
At this moment, Shou Zhen also landed on the ground and sheathed his sword. He said to the black-robed man with a solemn expression,"Junior Martial Brother Shouzheng, you've suffered internal injuries.”
"Gu-Guarding?" Yun Yuan said in astonishment.
"That's right, Junior Brother. You've been in the same sect as him for more than ten years, yet you still can't tell if he's a friend or a foe.”? Yuan Yi chuckled," I, Shou Zhen, and Sect Leader have long seen that he's Junior Brother Shou Zheng. Only you still treat him as an enemy."”
Yun Yuan was slightly surprised. He sized Shou Zheng up again and nodded slowly. However, he suddenly thought of something. He raised his hand and said to Yuan Yi angrily,"No, if he is Junior Martial Brother Shou Zheng, why did he attack the disciples of Mount Shu and injure Young Hero Han?”
"Looks like our Junior Brother Yuan Yun hasn't figured it out yet.”Changfeng smiled meaningfully at everyone and said to Yuan Yun,""Junior Brother, think about it carefully. Other than Martial Uncle Tai He, who else among the elders did not appear just now?”
Yuan Yun thought for a moment and said,"Keep it right."”
"Other than you, who else from Mount Shu knows the Seven Swords Dragon Slaying Skill?" Chang Feng continued unhurriedly.”
Yuan Yun thought for a while and said,"Keep it right."”
"Alright." Chang Feng pointed at the White Dragon Sword that the man in black had retracted and asked,""Then who did you give this White Dragon Sword to?”
Yun Yuan didn't hesitate this time and said directly,""Shouzheng."
Changfeng asked and looked around at the elders. All the elders smiled. Seeing that there was no need to hide anything, Shou Zheng took off his veil and said to Yuan Yun with a slightly guilty expression,"Senior Brother, I'm sorry to have disturbed you.”
Yun Yuan wasn't angry. He just shook his head and smiled."Shouzheng, oh Shouzheng, you lied to me so hard! How could I have thought that you, who is full of righteousness, would actually play such a trick?”
"I had no choice." "Little Martial Nephew misses his brother, but doesn't dare to take the initiative to acknowledge him. Han Ye was worried about his sister, but he did not dare to let her bear too much. I saw that the two of them were really interested, and that child Qingye had a straightforward personality. I was afraid that it would be difficult to help the Han siblings, so I decided to do it myself. He first left the main hall with an excuse and quickly went to the dry room to change into a set of night clothes. When he came back, he saw that Qing Ye and Han Ye were still entangled, so he disguised himself as Chang Tian to provoke everyone, and then found an opportunity to attack the little martial nephew. I thought that Han Ye would definitely block it out of the brotherhood, but I didn't expect him to guess my identity and actually use his body to block it. I was afraid that I would hurt him too badly, so I hurriedly stabbed him at the place where he deviated from his internal organs and immediately used my true qi to repair his essence. Only then did I push him to my little martial nephew.”
Changfeng nodded and stroked his white beard."Now that the siblings have reunited, junior brother, you can rest assured.”
At this moment, he heard Yuan Yun grumble to Shou Zheng,""Shouzheng, this is your fault!”
"Senior Brother Yuan Yun, why do you say that?" Shou Zheng was slightly surprised.”
"You didn't even invite Senior Brother when you had such a good opportunity!" Yun Yuan said heartily.”
Shou Zheng also smiled solemnly." I'm just worried that it's not convenient to have too many people. I also want to test everyone's abilities. Please forgive me."”After saying that, Shou Zheng thought for a while and said worriedly,"Senior brothers, you must not tell anyone about me pretending to be Zhang Tian today. Otherwise, our elders will lose our prestige.”
"Naturally." Changfeng stroked his white beard and said,"Junior Martial Brother Shouzheng, Yuan Yi and I knew that you were the one who attacked us. Aren't we trying to maintain the prestige of Mount Shu?" At the same time, I can also find a chance for you to escape.”
"I'll observe the situation from the side and help you secretly if I see you in danger."”
Yuan Yi chuckled." I just didn't expect Junior Brother Yuan Yun to have such a fierce temper. He actually chased you all the way here and didn't give you a chance to recuperate at all."”"Junior Brother, did you use your True Qi to force out the cold Qi of the Nine Heavens Freezing Art?"”
Shou Zheng nodded solemnly, indicating that he was fine.
Only now did Yuan Yun know that his fellow disciples of the same generation had long cooperated with Shou Zheng, and he had really wanted to heavily injure Shou Zheng. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but sweat and feel somewhat ashamed.
Shou Zheng understood Yun Yuan's thoughts very well, so he put in a good word for him,""I thought that Senior Brother Yun Yuan had done a good job. As the Zhenwu Elder of Mount Shu, he should take the lead and punish the evildoers to maintain order in Mount Shu.”
" Junior Brother…" Yuan Yun knew that Shou Zheng never fawned over others and couldn't help but feel grateful.
Seeing that the matter was settled, Changfeng said," Alright, Elders. Now that Han Ye and his sister have reunited, Mount Shu has also regained its peace. There are many things to do. Let's return first."”
Chang Feng, Yuan Yi, and Shou Zhen went first. Yuan Yun saw that Shou Zheng didn't move for a long time, so he turned back to take another look at him. Who knew that Shou Zheng would suddenly take out the dagger he had used and stab himself in the chest!
"Junior Brother!" Yuan Yun cried out in surprise and ran back to support Shou Zheng. He released fiery red true qi to heal him and said angrily with a slight heartache,"What are you doing! Suicide!"
Changfeng and the others also turned around when they heard the sound, only to see Shou Zheng clutching his bleeding chest with one hand and waving his other hand at Yuan Yun. He said with a solemn and indifferent smile,"It's fine, senior brother Yuan Yun. I didn't hurt any vital parts. I have the responsibility of protecting the mountain.”
When Yun Yuan heard this, he frowned even more angrily and said,"Then why are you doing this!"
It was still painful to stab his chest with a dagger. Shou Zheng frowned and took a deep breath."Firstly, as Elder Zhenwu, I did not care about the peace of Mount Shu. I insulted the disciples of Mount Shu, disturbed the order, and injured them. Secondly, I injured my junior martial nephew's elder brother. If I don't stab myself, I will feel uneasy.”After a moment of silence, Shou Zheng said solemnly,"No, these two cannot be mixed together. They should be punished separately.”Finished talking, Shou Zheng raised the dagger and was about to stab towards his abdomen, but it was snatched away by Yuan Yun.
"Junior Brother, you're right!" Yuan Yun raised his dagger in anger and said,""You were disrespectful to Mount Shu, so you deserve to be stabbed. As Elder Zhen Wu, I attacked my junior brother and couldn't differentiate between right and wrong.”Finished talking, Yuan Yun hardened his heart and stabbed the dagger towards his chest.
"Enough." Chang Feng grabbed Yuan Yun's hand and said,""Junior brother, I think you don't need to take this saber.”
"Yes, I am." Yuan Yi no longer smiled when he saw this. Instead, he said with some blame,"Elder Lu De even pointed out your crimes, but the two of you are punishing yourselves!”
Changfeng looked at Shou Zheng and Yuan Yun, his expression solemn as he said to Shou Zhen,""Elder Lu De, you're here to judge the merits!”
"Yes, Sect Master!" Shouzhen solemnly said to Shouzheng,"Shouzheng! As an Elder Zhenwu of Mount Shu, you insulted a disciple of Mount Shu and even fought in front of Mount Shu's gate, injuring the innocent. You should be punished. However, considering that you have been guarding Mount Shu for a long time and have done your duty, and that you have a reason for this and are sincerely repentant, your punishment will be reduced. You will be punished to reflect on your mistakes in the Qing Law Hall at the back of the mountain for half a year.”Then, Shou Zhen said to Yuan Yun,"Yuan Yun!" Although you attacked your fellow sect members, I forgive you for not knowing anything and for protecting the mountain!”
Shou Zheng was convinced and nodded to Changfeng,"Sect Master Senior Brother, when we go back later, tell them that I was injured in the battle with Changtian and went to the Clear Law Hall to recuperate. Senior Brother Yuanyun will take care of the mountain protection matters.”As he spoke, Shou Zheng turned to Yuan Yun." Senior Brother Yuan Yun, I'll have to trouble you again. I'm extremely sorry. If you have any troublesome matters in the next six months, you can come and find me. I'll come out to help when you're in danger."”
Yuan Yun put his hand into his sleeve and frowned, saying,""You've already arranged it so flawlessly. What else do I have to say?”
No matter what, Yuan Yun felt that he and Shou Zheng were now on the same page. He vaguely understood why Shou Zheng was able to become the leader of the martial arts world in the past. It was because this person was talented, intelligent, loyal, and thoughtful. Even in Mount Shu, he was outstanding.
After that, Changfeng returned to Mount Shu with the elders and told his disciples that the black-robed man was intercepted by Shou Zheng. After a fight, he injured Shou Zheng and escaped without a trace. The matter was left unsettled and he no longer arranged for Immortal Soul disciples to search for news of the black-robed man. After that, the elders sent the guards to the Hall of Clear Law to recuperate for half a year. They also arranged for Han Ye and the others to live in the Kun housing area.
The day passed by quickly. In the blink of an eye, the sun had set on the Western Hills, and the moon had risen from the Eastern Sea. Night fell, and the stars filled the sky. The Eight Trigrams City was brightly lit. Most of the Mount Shu disciples were resting in their rooms. Some were still reading at night, and a small number were patrolling the sky above Mount Shu.
In the guest room, Han Ye was leaning against the bedpost with one foot on the edge of the bed and the other on the bed. He lifted the wine bag in his hand and drank from time to time. His eyes were staring blankly at the neighboring guest room outside the window."Are you asleep? That's good too. Yan 'er has been tired for the whole day because of me. She should be sleeping soundly now.”
When he thought of Xue Yan's cute appearance when she slept, Han Ye's eyes faintly revealed a hint of pleasure and tenderness. However, after a while, he frowned and looked at the bed curtain hanging in front of him with a heavy heart."In this world, it seems that I only have three most important people. As for the one who isn't by my side, are you okay?”As he thought about it, Han Ye didn't know why Yun Meng had left that day. He drank some more wine and his mind was filled with worries.
That's right. Xue Yan was a girl, so she more or less understood why Yun Meng wanted to leave. However, Han Ye could not see Yun Meng's expression and tears when she left. Now, he was a little confused about this love.
Just as he was deep in thought, there was a light knock on the door.
Han Ye immediately put down the wine in his hand, thinking that it was already close to 11 pm. How many people would come here to look for him? "Who?" he asked habitually.”
"Big brother." A gentle female voice came from outside the door."It's me, Xiao Yu."
Hearing his sister's voice, Han Ye's gaze suddenly softened. He put on his boots and opened the door. He saw the slim and elegant girl standing in front of the door. That night, the silver light from the sky sprinkled on her beautiful face. With the moonlight as a backdrop, her clothes were like the wind and silver mist, and her black hair and clear eyes were like the galaxy and the moon. However, she put her delicate hand in front of her body and obediently carried a bamboo basket. She looked at her brother with her clear eyes, but she did not say anything.
Han Ye's eyes faintly revealed his love for his sister, but he only said,""It's so late and you're still not resting. What are you doing here?”
" Hmm…" Han Yu hesitated for a moment, then extended the basket in front of her brother and said gently,""Big brother, Xiao Yu didn't want to disturb you, but she was worried that you didn't eat enough for dinner and couldn't sleep well, so she specially made some cakes for you to eat.”
Han Ye was stunned for a moment, but he did not expect his sister to make snacks for him. Not to mention whether it was good or not, just this kind of intention was enough to move him. So he took the bamboo basket from his sister's hand and said gently,"Didn't you waste a lot of time like this?”
"It's alright." "As long as big brother is happy, Xiao Yu's time is worth it." Han Yu smiled.”
"Humph." Han Ye smiled slightly, but his heart was filled with warmth. He closed the door and sat on the edge of the bed with his sister. He took the Renshou Sesame Cake from his sister and took a bite. Although it didn't taste great, it was very delicious. Han Ye couldn't help but frown and praise,"Sister, you have good skills."
"As long as you like it!" Han Yu was even happier when she heard Han Ye's praise. Her face also blushed. She quickly took out some pastries from the bamboo basket and handed them to Han Ye. She said excitedly,"This is mung bean cake, walnut cake, and…"
Wasn't the endless supply of desserts an endless supply of happiness? For Han Ye, who had not been in contact with family for eight years, his little sister's kindness was like being in a beautiful palace that made him forget his troubles. However, he also stopped his sister's hand and said gently,""Alright, Xiao Yu, you're making me eat so much. You're really going to make me unable to sleep at night.”
"Alright then." Han Yu put the cakes back into the basket and said with a smile,"Then Xiao Yu, leave the basket here. Older brother can eat it whenever he wants.”
After that, the siblings seemed to have lost their sense of where to start. They were silent for a while. The elder brother looked at the bamboo basket thoughtfully, while the younger sister put her hands on her knees and looked at the ground. After a long time, the siblings spoke in unison.
"How have you been all these years?"
"Brother, are you doing well?"
The siblings smiled when they saw how well they understood each other. Han Ye said calmly,""It's nothing good. I've done a lot of things in the past eight years, and I was once very lost. It was only after I had companions that I gradually became clear-headed and found my sister.”When he said the word " sister," Han Ye's clear eyes were locked on Han Yu, and there was a hint of joy on his face.
Han Yu felt the hard-earned warmth, but she suddenly thought of another important person. She asked Han Ye,"By the way, where's sister Meng? Have you visited her? Xiao Yu misses her very much!"
Han Ye fell silent upon hearing this, and his gaze became a little dejected. He said,""I…I don't know what she was thinking. She said that she would come to Mount Shu to see you, but she was the one who suggested leaving…"
Han Yu saw Han Ye's depressed face, so she held his hand and said to him,""Why don't we go to the Howling Sword Hall to see her together?”
"The Howling Sword Hall?" "Can we still go there?" Han Ye frowned and sighed. Our enemies might be lurking there, waiting to exterminate us. Moreover, it was precisely because I was worried about this that I fell out with uncle at the Divine Martial Temple last time.”
Although Han Yu didn't understand the complicated situation, she raised her head and said to Han Ye,""Brother, do you mean that you want to practice martial arts now and go there after you learn your skills?”
Han Ye nodded solemnly and said,""I've thought about it for a long time. If Changtian is hiding there, he will use the Howling Sword Hall as a cover. He only wants to kill us in secret, but he won't have any ideas about Uncle and Third Uncle for the time being. I already felt that it was a bit risky when I went there before.”
After Han Yu heard this, she frowned and asked,""Then, are you at ease leaving Sister Meng there alone?”
Han Ye fell silent again. After a while, he asked,""Sister, do you think Yun Meng would rather follow me or stay in the Howling Sword Hall?”
"I think so." Han Yu thought for a while and said with certainty,"Sister Meng is sentimental. She would rather be hurt than hurt others. She also has deep feelings for you. If you insist on taking her away, she will never complain.”
Han Yu's words were very realistic, and it also made Han Ye gradually feel as if some emotions were surging in his heart. However, he still could not strengthen his confidence. He only turned to ask Han Yu,"Sister, do you know where Senior Shou Zheng is?”
"He's resting in the Hall of Clear Law now. I heard that he'll be resting for half a year.”Han Yu looked at Han Ye and asked,"Is there anything you need from him?"”
" Yes." Han Ye nodded slowly." I have a lot of things to ask him. Xiao Yu, can you take me there?"”
Han Yu naturally listened to her brother and led him out of the guest room.
