I hurriedly got out of bed.”Normally, no one was allowed to enter the Huan Yue Pavilion. Now that Mei Li had entered, could it be that something had happened to Shui Xuanyue?。
" Sect Master wants Young Sect Master to go over in the morning." She shook off another set of clothes and placed it in front of me." Young Sect Master asked me to wait for Young Lady to wake up before bringing Young Lady to the study."”
I got up and took off my wrinkled coat. I reached into the black coat with blue borders."Do you know what it is?"
"I don't know. Young Sect Master, please tell me to go to the study." She lowered her head respectfully.
One of the biggest reasons why he liked Mei Li was that she never spoke much, but it was always just right. She would not offend the master, nor would she make others feel that she was unreasonable.
I followed behind her and suddenly reached out to touch the Purple Melting Jade that I kept close to my body. The dream just now still felt so real to me.
Shui Xuanyue sat beside the desk and quietly dealt with various matters. I really don't understand why he always has so many things to do and so many books to read.
I took the tea from the servant girl and placed it on the desk."Why did you call me here?"
He put down the letter in his hand, rubbed his glabella, and took a sip of tea. She finally looked up at me and said,"Didn't you always stand by the side like this?" Are you unwilling?"
I suddenly realized that those days were so far away from me.
" Why would I?" I walked to the window." It's just that I feel that you've changed since I came back.”
I turned to look at him, and he looked straight back at me."I've changed?"
I smiled bitterly. We've all changed."
"Is Murong Xi that nostalgic?”He narrowed his eyes and sized me up.
"Say what?" I glanced at him." Why did you say that?"”
"You can't feel it?" He suddenly stood up and approached me." Even the Charm Sword can feel the closeness between you and Murong Xi. Why? Back then, you told me that you were only groped by him. Didn't you hate him? Why are you so close?"
I sighed,"Do you still mind me leaving with Murong Xi at the inn?"”
His gaze suddenly drifted away and he sat down on the chair dejectedly."Aren't you?"
" I... I do hate him a little, but... I have no choice. I have no choice." I walked closer to him and squatted by his feet." There are many things that I can only tell you after the matter is over. But I don't know where you will be then. That's why I can only do this for now."
"You don't trust me? Am I not good to you? Although you are my personal maid in name, have I ever tired you out? You're living like this Ice Mystic Sect's Young Miss, so why can't I treat you well?”He looked down at me.
I leaned my head on his lap and shook it."I told you that if I asked for your help, it would drag down the entire Ice Mystic Sect. I can't do this. You have your own life to live. You said before that you are the young sect master and you have your responsibilities. I can't be so selfish."
He raised his hand and put it down again. Do you want to eat something and get someone to send it in?”
I stood up.”
"Ji 'er, no matter what, I believe you.”
I smiled as I called the servant girl over. I ordered a few desserts and even specially asked someone to bring over a tea set.
After eating, I sat down on a low table that was specially prepared for me. I invited Water Mystic Moon to sit opposite me."This is the tea ceremony of my hometown."
She slowly poured tea for him and asked him to taste it.”
"What tea? I've never drunk it." He put down the teacup.
"How about scented tea? There are lotus petals, osmanthus petals, and some others. I've prepared a lot and asked Mei Li to keep them. If you want to drink them in the future, tell Mei Li.”
"Are you planning to leave?”He twirled the teacup.
I smiled." I have to leave eventually. I have to do what I should do." Moreover, I really don't know when I'll be leaving. It's better to make preparations early so that I don't leave in a hurry and miss out on anything.”
"Are you really going to reject my help?"
"When I succeed, I won't reject any of your help.”
I packed up the tea set while Shui Xuanyue continued with her work. The chirping of birds came from outside the window. Occasionally, pigeons would flap their wings and enter. Out of habit, I helped him remove the note tied to the pigeon's leg and then tied a new note to the pigeon. He tidied up the letters that were scattered on the side and re-grinded the ink. He served tea and occasionally went to the kitchen to make desserts and snacks. The sky was clear and unobstructed.
He did not know how long he could live like this.
Five days passed, and as expected, there was a messenger pigeon. While I was bored and fiddling with the herbs, Murong Xi had already prepared everything. He wanted me to set off for the Third Prince's residence tomorrow morning.
At night, I swung my feet in the water and looked at the rippling lake. Would he be able to come to such a beautiful place like Huan Yue Pavilion again? However, the lake water had finally turned cold and was no longer as lively as it was in summer. He sighed and got up to return to his room.
I found a black shadow sitting by my bed. I walked over. He stood up.
" Ji 'er..." he muttered and grabbed my arm." Tell me everything and I'll help you."”
I shook my head.”
He stopped talking. "Ji 'er, you must take care of yourself."”
I hugged him as tears fell. Who didn't know that he had been fully prepared for my departure these days? He might have guessed who I was. Just by asking around, one would know that the Xia family's daughter, Xia Tian, had been killed.
"I will, I definitely will. You have to take care of yourself too. Although your father doesn't say anything, I know that he's a very fierce person. I don't know how you've lived since you were young, but don't mistreat yourself in the future.”
My tears fell on the back of my hand.
" Ji 'er…I really wish I could go with you." He let go of me." This bracelet is for you."”
He took the jade green bracelet and put it on my wrist. I refused. I didn't want this bracelet that brought us unhappiness.
" Keep it, Ji 'er, just like I'm by your side," he muttered." This house actually belongs to my mother, and so does this bracelet.”
I opened my mouth in shock.
I opened my mouth in shock, waiting for him to continue.
He asked me to sit by the bed before he began: "Actually, my mother was a very beautiful woman. However, five years after she gave birth to me, it was because of her beauty that she brought disaster to our Ice Mystic Sect…"
After hearing this, I was very shocked. It turned out that the entire Ice Mystic Sect was not what I thought.
This matter had to start from Shui Xuanyue's mother.
His mother's name was Yao Yue, and she was chosen by the Emperor twenty years ago when he went out to patrol in civilian clothes. The Yao family itself was just a small official. Moreover, her father was very timid and loved his daughter very much. After seeing through the Emperor's intentions, he took advantage of the Emperor's order to betroth Yao Yue to his uncle's son who was far away in a foreign land.
Back then, the situation was unstable. The new emperor (also known as the current emperor) had just succeeded to the throne. The emperor could not care less about the glimpse of the daughter of this petty official. After hearing about the matter of the promised person, he finally gave up.
However, Yao Yue was supposed to live a peaceful and beautiful life, but it was cut off because her husband wanted to go into business.
They were heading from Anqing to Peach Blossom Island. The journey was not very far, but there was a snowy mountain to the west of Peach Blossom Island. There were always bandits on the snowy mountain who occupied the mountain and led the bandits down the mountain to plunder the civilians.
They were transporting silk with their newborn daughter when a group of thieves suddenly appeared in front of them. They made a ruckus and robbed them of all their money. They even killed her husband. Just as she was bringing her and her daughter back to the snow mountain, she suddenly gave up and jumped off the galloping horse. She rolled on the edge of the cliff and fell down.
When she woke up, she found the Ice Mystic Sect Master.
The sect master was traveling outside. When he arrived at the foot of the snow mountain, he noticed a figure falling from the top. He immediately realized that someone had fallen off the cliff. He used Qinggong to catch Yao Yue, but he failed to catch the baby girl who had fallen to the side.
The Sect Master brought Yao Yue back to the Ice Mystic Sect and took good care of her. They finally got married a year later and gave birth to Shui Xuanyue another year later.
At that time, the Ice Mystic Sect was still a small sect. The Sect Master's good friend came to visit the Sect Master five years later. However, he saw Yao Yue and fell in love with her at first sight.
After being rejected many times in private, she finally had the wrong idea. This thought almost harmed the entire Ice Profound Sect.
On a moonless night.
Everyone in the Ice Mystic Sect fell asleep at their posts. Even the sect master had fallen asleep in his room. Everyone was in a daze.
Suddenly, from the main hall, a sea of fire lit up the sky. However, no one paid any attention to it, and no one shouted for water. Everyone was sleeping. That friend sneaked into the Sect Master's bedroom in the dark and took Yao Yue away.
However, he did not expect to miss out on one person. That was the five-year-old Shui Xuanyue. That night, because he was tired from playing outside during the day, he went to sleep without eating or drinking a mouthful of water. When the fire lit up the sky, the beams of the house outside were burned and broke, making a loud sound. He woke up with a start. The crackling of wood outside frightened him. He woke up the nanny and the servants, then went to save the Sect Master. If it wasn't for Shui Xuanyue's luck, the entire Ice Mystic Sect would have been burned to the ground.
It took half a night to put out the fire.
However, the Ice Mystic Gate was almost in ruins.
Shui Xuanyue was shivering in the nanny's arms. And his father would not even go to see him and ask him if he was afraid. All his father's feelings were placed on Yao Yue. Yao Yue's departure made him think that a woman had betrayed him, and leaving with his friend was simply a slap to his face!
