When the last rays of the sun sank into the darkness, the lights of all sizes in the Phoenix Perch Pavilion were lit. Many maids and servants came and went in and out. They were very busy, but almost everyone had a happy smile on their faces.
"Hurry, hurry! " You must decorate every corner of the Phoenix Perch Pavilion beautifully and warmly. That way, Lord Feng will be at ease when she comes back…" A beautiful woman instructed from the side.
" I know, Miss Yueluo. This is the 101st time you've said that today…" A maid in green rolled her eyes at the lady who had no image at all.
"Is that so? But I wasn't wrong, Little Green.”Moonset looked at the maid called Little Green innocently.
"Yes, yes, yes, you didn't do anything wrong. Miss Yueluo, can you go back to the Star Moon Pavilion first? Young Master Starstreak will be back tonight.”Little Green helplessly sent this chattering young lady away.
" Oh, Little Green, you're right. I'll go wait for my brother to come back first and then wait for Lord Feng together. I'm leaving…" After saying that, she lifted her skirt and ran towards the Star Moon Pavilion. Little Green smiled helplessly and shook its head. Sigh, he was really a child.
Little Green looked out of the villa. Other than some mottled shadows of the trees, there was almost nothing to be seen.
Lord Feng, you're finally back. We've waited for you for so long, and you're finally back. Ever since he received the letter from the pigeon yesterday saying that Young Feng was going back to Dadu, the entire villa had become busy. Phiona had always been the supreme god in everyone's hearts. Those who had run away from home because she was going to Ailao Mountain to meditate also gathered at the Phoenix Perching Pavilion because of her return. First, it was Miss Su Wei, then it was Miss Qingcheng. Tonight, Young Master Starstreak had also returned. Not long later, Cool Jade would also return. There was also Young Master Asakawa You, or perhaps Young Master Nian Luo. They would all rush back from outside.
After pondering for a long time, Little Green collected its thoughts and said softly,"Will you be happy this time? No matter what, she had to be happy!”
If you have been to the capital, you must have heard of a restaurant other than the Royal Restaurant because it is very special. It was called the River of Forgetfulness. What was special about it was not only its name, but also its owner and its atmosphere. The male owner of the River of Forgetfulness was called Xi Mu. People used to call him Boss Mu. The female owner's name was Xiao Qiao. It was said that they had a very legendary past. However, after many years, under the storyteller's interpretation, that past became a legend. The River of Forgetfulness had three floors. The first floor was run by an ordinary hotel. The second floor was mostly private rooms and private rooms. Most of the famous people in the martial world and ministers in the court drank tea and discussed wine here. The third floor was never open to the public, but it was a place that people yearned to go to. This was because as long as the owner did not like it, even the royal family could not take half a step there. Some people said that the River of Forgetfulness was a very special place because there seemed to always be a trace of loneliness in its shallow noise, like the occasional worry of the hostess. There were also people who said that if you had something on your mind or wanted to let your heart rest, it would be better to go to the River of Forgetfulness. There was very special wine and music.
At this moment, the hostess, Xiao Qiao, was sitting at the table closest to the door. She had been sitting there since dusk. She did not say a word. Sometimes, she would frown, and sometimes, she would smile. Meanwhile, Boss Mu was sitting on the piano table on the second floor, playing a song intermittently. It was very beautiful and sad, as if he was missing someone. When the music note that had dragged on for a long time disappeared from everyone's ears, Xiao Qiao stood up and walked to the door. As the cold wind blew, a woman in white who looked to be in her thirties was welcomed by Xiao Qiao. What a beautiful woman she was. Later people said that what they saw that day seemed to be a dream. The faint tiredness in her eyes made one's heart ache. Even before she smiled, she was already devastatingly beautiful. When she smiled at Boss Mu, who came downstairs, it was as if all the flowers in the world had bloomed…She was Young Feng…
There was still one day left until Young Feng's death anniversary. Luo Xuan and Jiang Xue had already arrived at the inn at the foot of the Grieving Prison. However, they did not expect to receive a messenger pigeon from Fang Zhaonan at this moment. He said that he was going to hold a Martial Arts Circle Convention and choose a new Guild Leader for Martial Union. He would then lead the group of heroes to fight against the Mongol army's cruelty towards the commoners.
"Father, are we going to Shangguan Castle?”Jiang Xue asked. Luo Xuan seemed to be planning to stay in Ailao Mountain for a long time.
"Go, we'll set off the day after tomorrow. Moreover, this time Zhaonan is also participating in the alliance leader competition, so it's good to go and see him and Xuan Shuang.”
"Zhaonan's martial arts should have improved greatly. Father, you gave him so many martial arts manuals.”
"That being said, it's just that his comprehension is not enough. It's like the heavens…Forget it, let's not talk about this. I'll go up the mountain alone tomorrow.”Luo Xuan lowered his head and drank his tea. Jiang Xue couldn't see his expression, so she just grunted. After dinner, they went back to their rooms, but they also had a sleepless night.
In this year of medical practice, Luo Xuan had been to Ailao Mountain, but he had always stood at the foot of the mountain for a long time before leaving in a hurry. Tomorrow was the anniversary of Young Feng's death. He hesitated for a long time but still came back. A year seemed like a long time, but it also seemed very short. " I can't escape from what I have to face. I avoided you when I was alive. Now that you're gone, I shouldn't avoid you anymore…"
After Jiang Xue returned to her room, she sat in front of the table and looked at the jade flute in her hand. It was still the one she had given him back then. At that time, she loved him so much. Even after he grew up, he was the only disciple who dared to offend her. He disobeyed her many times and went against her wishes. In the end, she forgave him. And that time when he and Zhaonan used the Snowflake Divine Sword to deal with her, if she had not shown mercy, the outcome would have been a different matter. In fact, she had not lost her martial arts, but her heart. Master, am I more cold-blooded than you? From the very beginning, I was on Fang Zhaonan's side because I loved him. I saw your love, your obsession, your loneliness, and your pain, but I still chose to betray you. I thought I was right, because father was also standing on the opposite side of you. But why do I feel that he misses you more and more? Even if he never told me about your past, I could still see his hidden feelings for you from his actions. Ever since you were gone, he would often drink and carve little wooden figures in the middle of the night. I could clearly see that figure looking more and more like you. Master, was I really wrong?
The next morning, after breakfast, Luo Xuan went up Ailao Mountain alone. The mountain was still the mountain, and the water was still the water. The Ailao Mountain was as cold as it had been in the past. He walked into the courtyard that he had lived in for many years. There were no weeds as he had imagined. It was as if someone had cleaned it. Everything in the courtyard was very clean. Someone must have come up here before. Luo Xuan passed through the pavilion and came to Young Feng's former room. Everything was the same as before, but why was there still a faint smell of agarwood? Luo Xuan looked at the furnishings in the room and found it difficult to breathe. Although most of the toxins had been removed from his body the last time and he could walk with his legs, there was still a portion of the toxins in his body. Whenever he was agitated, his internal organs would still hurt so much that his heart would break. After calming himself down, Luo Xuan took a Clear Jade Pill, adjusted his breathing, and left Phiona's room.
Luo Xuan walked out of the courtyard and came to Phiona's grave near the swing pavilion. When the tomb gradually enlarged in his eyes, he suddenly felt a little timid. Xiao Feng, even if you're not here, I still don't have enough courage to face you. He slowly walked to the side of the tomb and gently stroked the two words on the tombstone. He sighed and said,"Ai, Xiao Feng, master is here to see you. You must be very lonely here alone this year. Master has always wanted to see you, but…Xiao Feng, Master has never been as brave as you. Why have you never listened to Master? Even though she had grown up, she was still like a willful child. Her stubbornness was terrifying. Back then, Master didn't allow you to go down the mountain, but you insisted on going down the mountain. Master didn't allow you to learn martial arts, but you secretly learned it. That day, Master promised to spend the rest of his life with you in the Hall of Regret, but you chose to walk so resolutely in another world. Do you know how sad Master was? Xiao Feng, I miss you so much…" The last sentence was distant and lonely. Luo Xuan looked into the distance as if he could see her every frown and smile.
After descending the mountain, Luo Xuan and Jiang Xue left the inn and rushed to Shangguan Castle. Shangguan Huang, the Lord of Shangguan Castle, had unfortunately died in a Jianghu battle. The current Lord of Shangguan Castle was Shangguan Huang's grandfather, Shangguan Honglie. He was a famous hero in Jianghu. He rarely appeared in Shangguan Castle because he did not like to be restrained. Now that Shangguan Castle had no one to take charge of the situation, he had rushed back. As the organizer of the Martial Arts Circle Convention, he was currently receiving martial artists from various sects.?
Two days later, Luo Xuan and Jiang Xue arrived at the town where Shangguan Castle was located. Luo Xuan chose an inn near Shangguan Castle to stay in. The inn was very lively. Other than the merchants and ordinary people who came and went, there were also many martial artists who had come from all over the world to participate in the Martial Arts Circle Convention. The topic of discussion was none other than the Martial Arts Circle Convention that would be held tomorrow.?
"Boss, I want two first-class guest rooms.”A pleasant male voice sounded, followed by many people exclaiming. Feeling curious, Luo Xuan also looked downstairs and saw a young man in his twenties booking a room downstairs. With a glance, he knew why people were surprised. Not only was the man beautiful and elegant, but the girl standing behind him was even more beautiful. The woman was probably in her twenties. She was wearing a moon-white long robe and looked very simple. Her collar and hem were embroidered with a complicated lotus pattern with a silver-blue thread. She did not seem to be smiling. Compared to the young master's laughter, she seemed indifferent and distant. " A flower that blooms in the dust…" Luo Xuan suddenly thought of this sentence. Beside the girl was a little boy who was about seven or eight years old. He was dressed luxuriously, but he gave off an elegant feeling. Although he was young, he had a more beautiful face than the young master.
"Hey, boss, two superior rooms. Did you hear that?”The young master asked with a smile, his expression unruly and lazy.
"Yes, yes, yes, sir. There are just the last two rooms.”The boss replied with a smile.
"That's good. Prepare dinner for us and find a quiet seat.”With that, he threw a silver ingot to the boss.
"Alright, customer, this way please!" The boss led them to an empty table next to Luo Xuan on the second floor and asked the waiter to prepare wine and dishes.
"Nian 'er, there are a lot of fun things here. Brother Shen will bring you to play tomorrow.”The young man poured hot tea for the other two.
"Shen Yinan, I don't want to go shopping with you.”The child called Nian 'er held the teacup and tilted her head to look at Shen Yinan, smiling faintly.
"Shen Yinan, we have arrived at Shangguan Castle. Tomorrow, we will go our own way.”the woman said.
"Liangyu, why? "As long as you say the word, I won't return to Shangguan Castle or go to the Martial Arts Circle Convention. I'll go wherever you go.?”
"I've said it before, I don't have a good impression of people from the martial arts world. Didn't you dream of being a martial arts hero? Don't ruin your dream for me. It's not worth it, and it's not necessary.”Liang Yu spoke very calmly, but also resolutely.
"You don't like me, is it because I'm from Shangguan Castle?”Shen Yinan still didn't give up.
Liang Yu did not reply.
"Liangyu, the Shangguan Clan is only related to me by blood. The Shangguan Clan has wronged her. I didn't participate in those matters, nor do I understand. Could it be that just because of this, you're going to reject me? This isn't fair."
"I have never believed that fairness exists in the martial world. You can hate me, but don't implicate my aunt. Otherwise…"
"Otherwise what? Will you kill me? Do you really care about her that much?"
"Yes."
Hearing the conversation between the two, Luo Xuan shook his head. This girl called Liang Yu was really cold, but when did Shangguan Castle have a person called Shen Yinan? Luo Xuan stood up and walked to Shen Yinan's side.
"May I know who Young Master is in Shangguan Castle? I have a deep friendship with Shangguan Castle, but I have never seen you before.”
"And you are?" Shen Yinan didn't know Luo Xuan.
"Luo Xuan."
Hearing his answer, Shen Yi Nan looked at Liang Yu. Seeing that Liang Yu did not have any expression, she replied,"So it's Divine Doctor Luo. I'm Shen Yinan, the grandson of Shangguan Castle Lord. I've never been to Shangguan Castle because I've been practicing martial arts with my master in Mei Ling since I was young.”
Liang Yu did not pay attention to their conversation. Thinking that he was Luo Xuan, the person who made her aunt sad, she suddenly had another idea."Divine Doctor Luo, you must be here to participate in the Martial Arts Circle Convention. Do you mind if my brother and I go with you?”
When Luo Xuan heard Liang Yu's words, he thought for a moment and nodded.
"Liang Yu, what do you want?" Shen Yi Nan asked after Luo Xuan left. Luo Xuan is not someone to be trifled with."
"Don't worry. I'm not that stupid. Shen Yinan, do you think your kung fu can take the position of the leader of the martial arts world?”Liang Yu said with a smile.
"If you like it, of course, there's no problem.”Seeing Liang Yu smile, Shen Yi Nan was very happy. However, Liang Yu didn't say anything when she heard Shen Yi Nan's answer. She just smiled lightly.
After returning to the guest room, Nian 'er felt that her sister was acting strangely today.
"Sister, you don't like Shen Yinan?”He looked at Liang Yu as she tidied his bed.
"No." Liang Yu did not stop what she was doing.
"Why wouldn't they want him to return to the Phoenix Perch Pavilion with us? Does he really like Sister?"
"Nian 'er, sister doesn't want anyone who will hurt aunt to go to the Phoenix Perch Pavilion, understand?”
"I know. I don't like it when people hurt Mother. However, I'm looking forward to tomorrow's show!”
" Me too…" Liang Yu smiled with a complicated expression.
After Nian 'er fell asleep, Liang Yu sent a letter to Ah Li," He met Luo Xuan at the Martial Arts Circle Convention.
