Gong Chenying's move did not attract much attention, after all, many people knew the relationship between Gong Chenying and Zhao Min.
Zhao Min raised her head and looked at Gong Chenying who was walking away. Her expression returned to calm, but she was still as aloof and indifferent as ever. Then she glanced at Li Yan as if inadvertently, and then walked towards the exit path of the bamboo forest.
Li Yan was standing not far from Zhao Min. Although he did not hear what Gong Chenying said, he knew everything after a quick glance between Gong Chenying and Zhao Min.
His heart seemed to have lost a layer of protection in an instant, which made him feel lost, but at the same time, it seemed as if the knot in his heart had been untied, allowing him to breathe a sigh of relief. These two thoughts were intertwined for a moment, and he didn't know what he was thinking.
One was a person he had been interacting with frequently for several years. Although he could not be considered a close friend, he was the person he talked to the most besides Lin Daqiao. The other was a person who suddenly broke into his heart and implanted her into his heart without him being prepared.
Li Yan couldn't say that he didn't like Gong Chenying, nor did he say that he didn't admire her. It was just that she came too suddenly, disrupting his past and present. He seemed a little confused with his myriad thoughts.
"Why don't you leave quickly if you are waiting to be killed? Do you want me to drive you away?"
A sharp child's voice suddenly sounded, full of impatience.
As soon as Elder Peng and his companions left, a strong aura surged from the Heavenly Monument, and waves of pressure spread out from within.
"Little Junior Brother, let's go."
Li Wuyi walked over. He had just seen Gong Chenying and Zhao Min whispering, but he didn't take it seriously.
But seeing Zhao Min whispering with Gong Chenying and then leaving without even saying hello to them, and seeing Li Yan staring at Zhao Min's back in a daze, he felt a little surprised.
"Let's go, let's go. We are going to have a gathering in your courtyard tonight. Why did Junior Sister Min leave alone? Didn't she say before that she would go to Junior Brother's courtyard to have a gathering together?"
Li Changting also walked over with a puzzled look on his face.
"Oh... I should leave as soon as possible. It seems we can't stay here any longer."
Li Yan was in a trance for only a moment, then he regained his clarity by hearing Li Wuyi's voice. He looked around and saw that people like Wang Tian and Wei Feng had already hurriedly gathered with their mountain people and flew away. Feeling the unfriendly aura coming from the Heavenly Monument, he also hurriedly spoke.
Li Wuyi and Li Changting walked in front of Li Yan, Wei Chituo and Yun Chun followed behind. Li Changting asked with some confusion on his face.
"You really don't know?"
"How should I know!"
Li Yan couldn't help but turn around and say.
"That's true. Since you came out, I haven't seen you say anything to Junior Sister Min. Could it be that Junior Sister Gong has something to tell her in private..."
Before Li Yan could continue to answer, Li Changting started talking to himself, and his words seemed to be becoming more and more certain, which made Li Yan feel relieved.
"By the way, Junior Brother, when you enter the Wheel of Life and Death, do you have anything good to give to Senior Sister?"
When she said the word "senior sister", her face turned red with shyness.
Li Wuyi's face twitched as he listened at the side. He was looking straight ahead, with firm steps and eyes not looking to the side, moving forward step by step, as if he hadn't heard anything.
Li Yan's heart bled when he heard this, and he secretly said.
"You're still asking Junior Brother for something? Those are all Spiritual Stones."
But his face was full of smiles.
"We did get some things, all from the other cultivators. The best ones are some magical instruments. Senior Sister can pick one or two."
"Hehehe... I can see the pain in your eyes. Don't worry, I don't want your things. I was just teasing you just now.
By the way, tonight, the elder sister has risked her life to bring out a few jars of fine wine that she has treasured for decades. This is not something that everyone can enjoy. This time, for your sake, I will give it up for once."
Li Changting patted Li Yan's shoulder with her jade hand and said with a chuckle.
Li Yan couldn't help feeling embarrassed. He didn't expect that his hiding skill was so poor that people could see through his petty nature at a glance. But then his face drooped like a bitter gourd.
He had been thinking about something before, and just then he noticed that Senior Sister Li had mentioned several times about coming to his bamboo courtyard for a small gathering. Only now did he remember that before entering the wheel of life and death, when he suddenly felt heroic, he had said that he wanted to drink the wine she prepared.
Now Senior Sister Li actually took it seriously and was going to bring out even stronger wine. He felt his stomach sour and his abdomen bloated. He couldn't help but look up at Li Wuyi in front of him with pleading eyes.
What disappointed him was that at this moment, the eldest senior brother seemed to have no idea that anyone was watching him. He was walking firmly on the path in the bamboo forest, looking heroic and fearless, and did not even glance at him.
What Li Yan didn't know was that Li Wuyi had long wanted to slap him to the ground, and now Li Yan still wanted him to help, which was absolutely impossible.
Wei Chituo, who was walking behind, had already drooled when he heard that this was a fine wine that had been collected for decades, and he looked at Li Yan with more admiration.
"It seems that this time, he really benefited from Junior Brother's help, but Senior Brother didn't seem to appreciate it. Bah, if he could beat him, he would have to teach Junior Brother a lesson. He took advantage of him but didn't seem to be willing to accept it."
Thinking of this, Wei Chituo couldn't help but curl his lips.
As everyone was walking, they had already reached the halfway point of the mountain. Li Yan saw a fork in the bamboo forest. Suddenly, he had an idea in his mind, but while he was hesitating, not knowing what reason to find to leave temporarily, a voice like that of a yellow warbler rang out, pleasant to the ears, and the crisp voice was filled with joy.
"Big Brother, it is you. I heard you were back in the Spiritual Item Garden just now, so I rushed over!"
Li Yan and his companions looked up and saw a ray of light flying quickly in the sky. It landed in front of them in a flash. A pretty girl stood there. It was Miao Wangqing in yellow. Miao Wangqing's big watery eyes swept around and first landed on Li Changting's face who was looking at her with a smile. Her expression changed, and then after looking at everyone, she asked in a strange voice.
"Why isn't Sixth Junior Sister here?"
"Oh, it's the Fourth Junior Sister. There's nothing wrong with the Sixth Junior Sister. Don't worry. She went to Laojun Peak with Uncle Peng to discuss matters and will be back soon."
When Li Wu saw that it was Miao Wangqing, a look of embarrassment flashed across his face, and then he said with a serious face.
"Oh, that's good, that's good."
When Miao Wangqing heard this, she immediately felt relieved, and then her eyes fell on Li Changting who had been staring at her.
"Senior Sister Li, don't you need to go back to Buli Peak after the trial? Your junior brothers and sisters have been in chaos since you were away from home for a while."
"It's okay, it's okay. It's a mess now. I don't care about it right now. I'll talk about it tomorrow. I still have to get together with Senior Brother Li and others tonight to drink and talk about some things."
After saying that, she turned around and looked at Li Wuyi happily.
Miao Wangqing's face suddenly turned ugly.
"It's fine if you don't leave the peak, but my Xiaozhu Peak has a lot of things to do. Senior Brother, Master is in seclusion, and you've left all this mess behind. How can I handle it
You…if you don’t care, don’t expect me to handle the affairs of the main hall in the future!”
As she spoke, tears welled up in her eyes, looking very touching.
"Your senior brother just came back..." Li Changting rolled his eyes and continued.
Li Wuyi was suddenly overwhelmed when he saw the two of them standing on the path and starting to chatter, and he quickly waved his hand.
"Stop, stop, stop. I'm going to go take care of the matters in the main hall and the peak first. You guys can chat first. Oh, little brother, I'll find you in the evening."
As soon as he finished speaking, he turned into a streak of light and flew quickly down the mountain. In the blink of an eye, he had disappeared, with a force as powerful as thunder.
"Li Wuyi, where are you going?"
"Big Brother, wait for me. I will tell you what happened in the peak recently... Li Changting, why did you come here? What happened in Xiaozhu Peak is not for outsiders to know..."
"I don't want to listen. I just want to see if there is anything about me not leaving the peak, and deal with it by the way. Otherwise, you won't have to go alone to inform me..."
Li Changting and Miao Wangqing saw that Li Wuyi left without giving anyone a chance to speak, and they couldn't help but speak anxiously. Then they turned into two rays of light and flew after him. The two people's voices, some hurried and some slow, could be faintly heard in the air.
Li Yan stared blankly at everything in front of him, feeling that it all happened too fast. The fourth senior sister didn't even say hello to them and left in a moment.
Just as he was stunned, a rough voice came from behind him.
"Tsk tsk tsk, Big Brother is so awesome, so awesome, hahahaha..."
It was Wei Chituo who had a look of gloating on his face, supporting Yun Chun and slowly walking over.
"Second Brother, let's go back quickly!"
Ever since Gong Chenying left, Yun Chunqu returned to his attitude of keeping strangers away. He glanced at Li Yan indifferently and said.
"Oh, okay, okay, well, it's still a while before night, little brother, you go back and rest first. I have to send your third brother back to the courtyard first, and then go over in the evening."
Vedanta thought about it.
"That's right. If Third Senior Brother is free to come over tonight, please come along. I'll go find Senior Brother Daqiao later."
Li Yan clasped his fists towards the two men. He was just thinking about how to get rid of them.
After Wei Chituo took Yun Chun away, Li Yan looked at the empty path, turned around, and headed towards the fork in the road.
Li Yan was very familiar with this bamboo path. His mood this time was very different from before. In the past, he came here either to practice magic or to sit on it and look towards his hometown, thinking about his thoughts in silence.
At this moment, looking at the winding path and the dense bamboos blocking the view ahead, I feel a hint of hope and uneasiness in my heart.
The small path that branched off diagonally finally came to an end. After a few turns, what came into Li Yan's sight was the familiar platform and the suddenly open view.
In the distance are curved undulating mountains. Just like before, they are some far, some near, some big, some small, the near ones are lush and green, the far ones are dark and small.
At the moment, Li Yan didn't care about these things. He saw a figure in a dark green robe on the platform.
It was a slender figure sitting on the edge of a platform, with a pair of long legs hanging outside the platform. Below was a bottomless valley. The person's hands were supported on the stone floor of the platform on both sides of his plump buttocks, revealing his white wrists.
Facing the setting sun, she looked as warm as jade. Her long ponytail naturally drooped to the ground on her back, and she half tilted her head back, looking at the distant sky.
The sun shines on her face. From behind, only a little of her flawless white jade face is exposed, with a soft glow in the jade-like round edges.
