At midnight on the moon, the door was pushed open without a sound.
Peiyu was soundly asleep, turned over unconsciously, still murmuring in her dream. If there were other people approaching in her sleep, she would have woken up with a start. Except for Huai Bai, she never defended her master.
Huai Bo approached lightly, sat on the head of the bed, and tucked in the quilt for the girl.
The moonlight leaked from the sparse window and sprinkled on Peiyu's face, making her face as quiet and beautiful as the autumn moon. Huai Bai's gaze gradually softened, and he gently put the girl's two arms that were outside the quilt back into the quilt.
She saw the girl's lips opening and closing, as if she was babbling, she listened carefully, and found that she was calling something like "Master" and "Beloved", she slowly raised her lips, and her heart softened into a bend of spring water. "Master loves you the most." She whispered.
Peiyu is different from Jian Yi. She has never regarded Jian Yi Mingying and others as her apprentices, but she intends to take good care of this child, teach her to be like a disciple, and love her like a daughter, so as to make up for the hard-to-speak in her heart. sorry.
In fact, only she knew that Peiyu was supposed to be the protagonist of that story.
She added all the good things in the world to this child, and when she wrote about her, she couldn't help but smile.
Therefore, when she wrote about the Heavenly Tribulation in Gushan and Peiyu being pushed down to the Ten Thousand Devils' Cave, her heart ached the most. But she didn't change the ending. For some reason, maybe she felt that changing the ending and letting Peiyu live a happy life would be untrue.
"After all, I am sorry for you." Huai Bo sighed lightly, just about to turn off the lamp for her, when he suddenly saw a book left on the corner of the bed. She picked it up curiously and read a few pages, with a deeper smile on her face.
She used to tell her apprentices bedtime stories, and Rong Jibai compiled these stories into a book and published it under the name Ji Yusheng.
The third child is always told by her senior brother that she is not doing a proper job, and she talks about contacting Huafu all day long, but in fact she is secretly writing all kinds of love and hatred stories, and has long become a well-known author in the world.
Huai Bo put the book back in its place.
She pretended to be ignorant of Rong Jibai's hobbies, but in fact she knew it well, and even secretly bought all the scripts she wrote.
Maybe this is not a good master, but she didn't want to be a good master in the eyes of ordinary people. She just wanted her apprentices, her friends, and everyone around her to live the life she wanted.
The moonlight is melting, and the courtyard is like a layer of crushed snow.
Huai Bo shrunk his neck, put his hands in his sleeves, looked back at the closed windows and doors, smiled lightly and stepped on the moon.

Three days later in the blink of an eye, when the trial of the heavenly ranks began.
It was at noon, when the golden crow was shining high, and the clouds and haze on the lonely mountain cleared away, revealing the extraordinary green mountains and green peaks.
Everyone gathered at the foot of the mountain, forming groups of three or five, looking up at the rugged, winding and endless stone steps, with a look of eagerness on their faces.
Peiyu stood alone in a secluded corner, unobtrusive.
In the past few days, she has seen Rong Jibai and Cang Hai, but the master never came again. Rong Jibai said that the master played cards on various hills, and when he played, the sky was dark and the sky was dark, so how could he remember her.
Peiyu felt quite uncomfortable.
Master said clearly that he would come back, liar, master is a big liar.
The crowd suddenly became commotion, Sheng Ji came over with sword in hand.
"Absolutely Initiated Heaven is Prosperous!"
"He must be the leader in this heavenly trial. He is recognized as the number one of the younger generation."
Another person said: "Last time I saw that he was about to compete with a little girl, but it's a pity that he left us, otherwise we would have seen his Wanfu get away."
"Then he won?"
The man said, "I don't even need to think about it. He must have won."
Sheng Ji blushed, frowned, and retorted: "I lost."
Everyone was stunned, and after a while, the person who spoke earlier said: "Mr. Sheng started to take care of Gu Shan's face at a young age, hahaha, so courteous."
Sheng Ji shouted impatiently: "I lost! I lost because my skill was inferior to others! If you don't give in, don't bother me again!"
Yu Chisu appeared out of nowhere, and said with a smile, "You're not lying."
Sheng Ji blushed, "A manly man, dare to be brave, I'm a big man, don't I even dare to admit defeat?"
Yu Chisu smiled and rolled his eyes, "You are not a big man, but you dare to admit defeat in front of others, which is better than many eight-foot men I have met."
Sheng Ji snorted coldly, but held his sword in his arms and remained silent.
It was only then that everyone realized that the seemingly unknown girl won the competition. They whispered to each other, with disbelief on their faces, and then they all searched for the girl who appeared in the field just now.
Yu Chisu was also looking for Peiyu, and wanted to thank him face to face.
But Peiyu used the ghost mask to change her figure as early as Shengji's voice. She doesn't want to be noticed.
There was a deafening bang from the top of the mountain.
Two women in white clothes were dressed in feather robes, and they came down lightly. Their belts fluttered, and their temperament was extraordinary, as if they were independent from the world and had become immortals.
People are heartbroken and yearn for Gushan more and more.
After the two women explained the rules of the competition, they soared into the air, their cloud clothes fluttering, and the symbols in their hands changed. After a while, the Heavenly Steps of Gushan appeared in front of everyone.
This is a long and endless road. At the beginning, it is majestic and majestic, made of white jade, and then the path is winding, bumpy and tortuous. Do not climb to the other shore.
The crowd swarmed up to the heavenly steps, and Peiyu mingled among them. After she stepped onto the heavenly steps, strange changes happened around her, the road became deeper and deeper, and she was the only one left and right.
Peiyu knew about the changes in the heavenly ranks, and she was not surprised. This is to let everyone walk the heavenly ranks alone, so as not to affect other people. It is also because the road is destined to be a lonely road. The long steps are long and one person walks alone.
Both Sheng Ji and Yu Chisu didn't leave for a long time, but they still couldn't wait for the girl after everyone went up to the heavenly stage.
Yu Chisu said: "It's strange, has Peiyu officially worshiped in Gushan?"
Seeing that the sky steps were about to be closed, Sheng Ji reminded: "Let's go, don't miss it."
After speaking, the two also stepped onto the heavenly stage.
The trial officially began.
Peiyu was not in a hurry to go up.
She closed her eyes and stood on the sky steps, feeling the faint coercion. Now her position is below 100 steps, the coercion is extremely small, but she knows in her heart that the higher the level, the stronger the coercion-this is the power of heaven, and it is also the test of heaven for ascetics.
The blue sky was like washing, and a few cranes passed through the clouds.
Peiyu looked up at the wild cranes in the clouds and the blue sky, and when her heart was extremely peaceful, she raised her feet to go up another step.
The coercion is a little bit heavier, and the difference between the two levels is very subtle. Even if you are a powerful person, you might ignore it, let alone those candidates who are rushing up.
But she sensed it.
Because her purpose is not just to pass the test.
Peiyu had a pensive look on her face.
She felt as if she had touched something, but she was vaguely separated by a veil, like looking at flowers in the fog or the moon in the water, and she couldn't see clearly.
So she stopped, sat cross-legged on the sky steps, and closed her eyes to perceive that mysterious and mysterious thing.

Gushan Feiyu Peak.
The clouds and mist are like white smoke, the green pines are green, and the boulders are covered with dark green moss.
There is a small red clay stove under Panasonic, and the wine in the stove is heating up.
Ning Xiao poured two glasses of sake, looked at the sky, and said with a smile: "The trial has begun."
The other person was wearing a dark Taoist robe, held a glass and sipped wine, and said, "I don't know how many talents will emerge in Gushan this year."
Ning Xiao lightly tapped the stone with his fingers, with an elegant and gentle smile. He doesn't have such a good appearance, but his temperament is very outstanding, "It's not as good as the giant of Momen."
Rong Changzhu, the tycoon of Jimo Sect put down his wine cup, his eyes were a little helpless, "My friend, don't put a high hat on me."
People in the world think that the three factions of Gushan, Momen, and Shengrenzhuang are incompatible, but it is not the case.
When the two factions intersect, they naturally focus on profit. Just as the Momen Sage Zhuang did not get along, he would join hands to deal with Gushan three hundred years ago.
But for two people to meet each other, they only need to be congenial.
Few people know that Daoist Gushan and the giant of Momen have a very close friendship, and they have long been inseparable from each other.
Rong Changzhu said with emotion: "I don't know if anyone can reach the top of the heavenly ranks this time and create another legend of the fairy gate."
It has become a legend that Huai Bo completed a thousand steps hundreds of years ago. After so long, no one can reach the same height as her.
Ning Xiao said: "Xiaobai's talent is unmatched by anyone."
Rong Changzhu asked: "Where is her new apprentice?"
Ning Xiao paused his fingers slightly, "Three spiritual roots, with average aptitude, can barely reach six hundred." He was silent for a moment, and added: "But this woman is persevering, maybe she can go to a higher level."
Rong Changzhu asked again: "I heard that Fenghua has broken through to the middle stage of Nascent Soul?"
Ning Xiao nodded, but there was no joy on his face, but a trace of worry, "He has an unstable foundation, forced a breakthrough, and is arrogant. He has always been at odds with Xiaobai, I'm afraid..."
Ning Xiao has already reached Yuanying Consummation, but he has not retreated and made a breakthrough because he couldn't let go of his younger brothers and sisters. Now that Ding Fenghua has made a breakthrough, he is even more worried.
Rong Changzhu sighed: "You really broke your heart for Gushan."
Ning Xiao smiled, "I'm leaving."
Rong Changzhu waved his sleeves, "Let's go."
Ning Xiao flew to Danxia Palace with a crane, and as soon as he reached the door, he heard a sharp voice.
"Ha, this is the newly recruited disciple of Shouxian Peak, who has only reached the second level?"
The person who spoke was a disciple of Baidai Peak, named Yu Meng, who had just entered Gushan a few years ago.
Yu Meng saw that none of the people guarding Xianfeng said a word, and looked at the sky proudly. There is a huge water mirror, which shows the names of the contestants and the steps they have taken. Now the one walking on the top is Sheng Ji, who has reached the 276th step, followed by Yu Chisu, and the last one is written on it - "Peiyu, second step."
Yu Meng thought, even a piece of trash can climb up to a hundred steps. Isn't this kind of trash that still stops at the second level after a long time, isn't it a trash among trash
He wanted to taunt again, but suddenly he heard a light cough, and looked outside, a young man wearing a crane feather cloak and a Taoist crown on his head walked over slowly.
Yu Meng suddenly changed his expression, bowed and said, "Dao Zun."
Ning Xiao walked to the water mirror, looked at the name at the bottom, with a hint of surprise on his face, "Second order?"
Huaibai smiled without saying a word, just nodded slightly.
