Moonlight poured down like water. It was quite a sight to behold in this fiery red maple forest. In the blink of an eye, it had been seven days since Zhang Zixun woke up and came to this magical valley that might have been formed because of her. During this time, she had also figured out that the most peculiar thing about this valley was the temperature here. It was always lukewarm. The flowers and grass were always there, but the red maple tree was always red. This was what she had heard from Nangong Yan. However, she had also secretly guessed that perhaps it was because of the immortal energy left behind by her when she was unconscious that the climate here was so strange. However, in the past few days, Zhang Zixun often heard Nangong Yan mention her big brother, Nangong Duxing, and Qi Yeyou. However, none of them appeared. According to Nangong Yan, it seemed like they were going to stay here for a period of time, so the two of them went out to buy some daily necessities. Only Zhang Zixun had seen the carefree Yuyin Zhaobang she mentioned a few times. When they first met, Zhang Zixun's impression of this person was that he loved red. There was not a single part of her body that wasn't red. Even the shoes she was wearing were red. Zhang Zixun also noticed the fiery red sword in his hand. It seemed a little strange, but she couldn't put her finger on it and could only leave it at that.
At this moment, the night was dark. The moon in the sky was not very bright. It was flickering in and out of the clouds. The light shone on the large maple trees in front of the bamboo house, adding a sense of mystery. Zhang Zixun stood quietly in front of the house, staring blankly at the sky. Her thoughts were wandering somewhere. A breeze blew past, and a few leaves brushed past her. She subconsciously reached out to take them and put them in front of her eyes. She muttered,"Poets say that red leaves are the leaves of yearning. Now that so many maple trees have grown here, does it mean that my marriage is not far away? Sigh. He said that he came here to find the person who had a long-time relationship with him, but now that more than five years had passed, where was that person?”
"Zixun, why are you daydreaming here alone? It's a little cold outside at night. You've just recovered, so you'd better go in.”Just as she was thinking, Nangong Yan's voice came from behind her. Zhang Zixun turned around and smiled. In fact, she was grateful to this innocent and kind girl from the bottom of her heart. He did not hold any grudges against her, an unknown stranger. Instead, he took care of her carefully. This made Zhang Zixun feel the warmth of friendship again after losing Qing 'er.
Nangong Yan, who was dressed in simple clothes, walked in front of her and gently held Zhang Zixun's hand."What's wrong? Something on your mind? After this period of time, I've already treated you as one of my own. What can't you say to me?”Hearing this, Zhang Zixun revealed an apologetic expression and said in a low voice,"Yan 'er, I'm sorry. There are some things I can't say. It won't do you any good to know. In short, you just have to believe me. I'm not a bad person.”Unexpectedly, Nangong Yan burst into laughter. She gently tapped Zhang Zixun's forehead with her finger and said in a strange tone,""What are you talking about? When did I not believe you? You and I are both people in the martial world. Who doesn't have a secret or something? If you can't tell me, then don't. When you feel that you can tell me in the future, you will naturally tell me.”Hearing this, Zhang Zixun looked at her gratefully and thought,""Such an innocent woman is really rare in this world. It would be a great blessing if anyone could marry her.”
"What are you thinking? Are you distracted again?" Nangong Yan asked when she saw that Zhang Zixun was lost in her thoughts and was staring at her.
"Ah, it's nothing. I just wanted to say that I really want to thank you for these days!”Zhang Zixun said sincerely.
"Idiot!" The two of them looked at each other and smiled. If anyone saw this scene, they would definitely be mesmerized on the spot. Because under the moonlight, the two girls were laughing and laughing, their voices like silver bells. Her graceful figure looked even more charming under the moonlight.
Sure enough, a man in red who wasn't very handsome but had sword-like eyebrows and starry eyes walked over from the forest. He was dressed in red, and from afar, he seemed to blend into the maple forest. It was only when he got closer that he realized that he was a young man with an extraordinary temperament.
"What are you talking about? Why are you so happy?”The voice came before the person arrived. The person who came was the young master of the Autumn Water Manor, Yuyin Zhaobang. His room was originally on the other side, but when he passed by and saw the two women playing here, he could not move his feet. It was not because he was lecherous, but because he saw the person in his heart was so beautiful under the moonlight, like a fairy from heaven. He suddenly became obsessed and unconsciously walked over. Zhang Zixun and Nangong Yan were originally having a private conversation with each other. When they heard a male voice, they immediately stopped. Zhang Zixun was fine with it, but Nangong Yan's pretty face showed displeasure. Because she knew that Big Brother and Ye You had gone out and had not returned yet. There was only one man left. She said that it was to protect her. Who else could this person be other than Yuyin Zhaobang? The next moment, his thoughts were confirmed. When Nangong Yan and Zhang Zixun turned around at the same time, they saw Yuyin Zhaobang walking towards them with a smile on his face. Not long after, he arrived in front of them. "It's already so late, haven't the two ladies gone to bed yet?" he asked in a slightly honest manner. It was already late at night and it was not safe outside. It was better to enter the house earlier.”Zhang Zixun replied politely,""Thank you for your concern, Big Brother Yuyin.”However, Nangong Yan wasn't so easy to talk to. He had interrupted her good mood for no reason, and she was feeling depressed now! It was just nice to find a place to vent.
Nangong Yan glared at him, causing Yuyin Zhaobang to be confused."Did I offend this lady again?”"Yan 'er, why are you looking at me like that? Did I make you angry again?" "Hmph, you still dare to say that!" Nangong Yan snorted. You're a man, why didn't you sleep in the middle of the night and came to our lady's room?”Then, he turned his face to the side. Yuyin Zhaobang felt wronged! He was clearly the one who saw the two girls outside and came over out of kindness to show concern. How did it become ill-intentioned? Even more unjust than Dou E!
"Yan 'er, I'm innocent! How would I dare to have any ulterior motives? If your brother finds out, he'll kill me!”Suddenly, he leaned closer and whispered into her ear,"Even if you have any ulterior motives, you have to wait until our wedding night, right?”Hearing this, Nangong Yan felt her cheeks burning up. She thought to herself that her face must be red now. Zixun was still here! This time, he had lost a lot of face! Hence, he vented all his anger on Yuyin Zhaobang. She secretly pinched his waist. Although the latter was in pain, Zhang Zixun was present, so she could only endure it. However, Zhang Zixun could see the twisted expression on his face. He secretly laughed and returned to the house without being noticed. "If you continue spouting nonsense, I'll be even more ruthless!" Nangong Yan said coquettishly. Who wants to sleep with you? Someone else. He hadn't. I haven't thought it through yet!" Her pretty face turned red again, and the last few words were as soft as a mosquito. Yuyin Zhaobang noticed that there was no one else around, so he suddenly pulled Nangong Yanhuan into his arms. "What are you doing?" The latter was shocked and hurriedly asked. Zixun is still here!" She wanted to struggle, but how could a weak woman like her fight against the strength of a martial artist? Hence, she could not break free no matter what. He whispered into her ear,""He's very tactful. He went in long ago! You were too forceful just now. Are you trying to murder your husband? Then you'll be a widow!"
"Who said that? Wuuu." Before she could finish her sentence, Nangong Yan felt her mouth being blocked by a soft object. In the end, the farce ended in the warmth of the two.
The next morning, the first ray of light shone from the horizon, indicating the arrival of a new day. The early morning sun shone on the red maple trees in the valley, causing the land to turn red. In addition, the morning dew glistened under the sun, and the air became especially fresh. As expected of the unpolluted ancient times, everything was so natural. Last night was the first time in a long time that Zhang Zixun had offended An Wen. She had forgotten all her troubles and had no nightmares. She was in close contact with nature, and her mood became exceptionally carefree. Therefore, before Nangong Yan could call her, she woke up early in the morning. However, when she stretched lazily and walked out of the room, she knew that she had come out at the wrong time. Because in front of her eyes, Nangong Yan was snuggling comfortably in Yuyin Zhaobang's arms. The two of them were acting out such an inappropriate scene early in the morning. Zhang Zixun's forehead immediately darkened. He thought to himself, I can't stay here forever, right?”Thus, she pretended to cough lightly and the two of them immediately separated. Nangong Yan turned around and looked at Zhang Zixun. Her face was slightly red as she said,"Zixun, why are you up so early today? Uh. Us. Us." Her face was so red that she did not know how to say it. She could only glare at Yuyin Zhaobang, who was acting as if nothing had happened. He cursed in his heart, It's all your fault for coming over so early in the morning.”Her face turned red again.
Seeing her like this, Zhang Zixun suddenly found it funny and could not help but laugh out loud. This caused Nangong Yan's pretty face to turn red. A hand pinched Yuyin Zhaobang's waist again, causing the latter to grit his teeth in pain. He could only smile awkwardly and change the topic."Miss Zhang, good morning! Haha. Haha." Zhang Zixun did not mind. After all, they were all young people. It was normal for men and women to be unmarried. Hence, he stepped forward and smiled generously. Why didn't you call me?" As soon as he finished speaking, Nangong Yan's face turned red again. It was all because of this enemy. He said not to wake her up and so on. Just as she was feeling awkward, a man's deep and magnetic voice suddenly sounded from not far away."Zhaobang, Yan 'er, what are you doing?”When Nangong Yan heard that, she instantly heaved a sigh of relief. Her savior had arrived. Hence, he quickly stepped forward and greeted the white-robed man who was walking towards him. He called out in surprise,"Big brother, you're finally back. What were they doing? He only came back after so many days? In a few more days, Big Brother Sima and the others would be here.”Zhang Zixun looked over carefully and saw a handsome man in white walking over slowly. When she got closer, the latter felt her gaze on him and looked back at her. Zhang Zixun saw a complicated look in his eyes, but she couldn't explain it now.
Nangong Yan happily held the man's hand and walked over. When they arrived in front of Zhang Zixun, Nangong Yan held her hand and introduced,""Big Brother, Zixun woke up not long after you left. Oh right, she said her name was Zhang Zixun. Zixun, this is my big brother, Nangong Duxing, whom I've mentioned to you before."”Hearing this, Zhang Zixun used her divine sense to scan and found that this person's internal strength was deep, and his entire body was emitting an aura of lightning. Perhaps it was because of this that his temperament became a little dignified, making people not dare to approach him easily. When she was sizing up Nangong Duxing, the latter was also observing her. However, Nangong Duxing was surprised to discover that he could not see through the other party's background with his own internal cultivation. Seeing Nangong's complicated expression, Yuyin Zhaobang frowned and put his hand on Nangong's shoulder."Don't be surprised. I've already tried. Miss Zhang is unfathomable. I can't detect her strength no matter what.”Hearing this, Nangong Duxing revealed an awkward smile.""I'm sorry, I was rude just now. I hope Young Lady can forgive me!" Zhang Zixun only smiled faintly and said apologetically,"I should also apologize. Due to some reasons, there are some things that I can't let you know for the time being. However, they were all children of the pugilistic world, so why should they mind so much?”Nangong Duxing nodded his head lightly. Looking at her sincere appearance, he wondered if he was being too paranoid. Perhaps it was really as she said, just a coincidence.
"Big brother, don't be so suspicious. I've already figured it out since you weren't around these days. Zixun definitely had a clean background and was a good person. He had accidentally fallen into Red Maple Valley.”Seeing the awkward atmosphere, Nangong Yan immediately stepped forward and said. Zhang Zixun looked at her gratefully. The latter blinked and smiled mischievously. Since his sister had said so, Nangong Duxing didn't bother about it anymore. He asked indifferently,""Miss, do you have anywhere to go?”Zhang Zixun pondered for a moment and told him the truth,"I have nowhere to go for the time being. I've been out for four years, and I don't know if there's anyone left at home.”
"Alright then. Young lady, you can stay here for the time being.”Nangong Duxing said.
"Thank you so much!" Zhang Zixun replied.
"Alright, alright, you don't have to be so polite anymore. We're all out in the martial arts world, so why are you so polite?”Yuyin Zhaobang said impatiently. Nangong Yan glared at him, and the former immediately shut up obediently. At this time, Nangong Duxing seemed to have thought of something. He looked at his younger sister's dizzy face and asked in puzzlement,""Zhaobang, did you bully my sister again when I wasn't around?”His tone was serious and did not seem like he was joking. Hearing this, Yuyin Zhaobang was shocked and hurriedly said,"Big brother, how would I dare! I'm already thankful that she didn't bully me!”As he spoke, he turned his gaze to Nangong Yan, seemingly asking for help. Unexpectedly, the latter turned his gaze to the side smugly and deliberately ignored him. Nangong Duxing looked at the two of them suspiciously, as if he had a premonition. Nangong Yan saw that Yuyin Zhaobang really couldn't get out of this situation and couldn't bear to help him."Big brother, he didn't bully me. Oh right, where's Ye You? Why didn't he come back with you?" Before the former could reply, Nangong Yan had already changed the topic. Yuyin Zhaobang looked at her gratefully. The latter mouthed,"If there's a next time, I won't help you again."”Yuyin Zhaobang shook his head helplessly. Zhang Zixun saw this scene once again. She found it funny, but she also felt warm and envious. When would he be able to have such pure love? Living such a simple life?
Hearing this, Nangong Duxing was about to speak when he saw a light green robe and a head of long silver hair pouring down like a waterfall. There was no emotion in those devilish green eyes. At his waist was a silver-white, transparent sword that emitted a cold aura. It caused his entire body to emit a cold aura. Who else could it be other than Xuanyuan Qingjue? At this moment, because Zhang Zixun was standing at the back, he did not notice them. He walked in front of Nangong Yan and the other two and said indifferently,"The things have been placed. Is she awake?" Hearing this, Nangong Yan teased,"Yo, when did our Lord Iceberg become so interested in that girl? When he came back, he didn't ask anyone, only concerned about that girl. Could it be that you like her?" Xuanyuan Qingjue didn't care about her teasing. Instead, he walked straight into the bamboo house. However, when he pushed the three of them away and was about to walk into the house, he stopped in his tracks. His gaze was fixed on the person in front of him.
"She's awake! She was really awake! That's great!" He called out excitedly in his heart, but there was no reaction on the surface. Similarly, Zhang Zixun was also stunned."It's him? How could it be him? That strange man. A strange man who wanted to snatch my things as soon as he came up. Why was he here? Did he save me? Logically speaking, when I was unconscious, no one could get close to me. However, last time, the purple butterfly dream seemed to have unintentionally accepted him, so it easily took off from my hands. This was the only explanation. But what was his purpose?”Just as Zhang Zixun was feeling puzzled, she suddenly felt her hand being held by a large warm hand. Before she could react, she had already been forcefully taken away by him under Yan 'er and the others' surprised gazes. But why did she follow him so easily? Zhang Zixun's mind was completely blank. She only knew that she was being led and kept running, running into the distance.
