Xia Ge was brought back by Chu Yao.
The little boy's body is very thin, and it is soft and light as expected.
After drinking too much wine, he was a little dazed, and the scent of glutinous rice wine was entangled in his body.
Chu Yao carried the person on her back and smashed the teleportation stone. At the moment when the light and shadow changed in front of her, she murmured.
"Why is it still so small?"
But it's a lot better than when we first met.
This made it a little unimaginable for her to imagine that even such a thin, young boy would use his thin body and a piece of jade to block the deadly scythe for a child before she came.
Obviously he is so small.
However, he is able to straighten his spine in the face of absolute power, his eyes are full of sharp eyes, even the moment he bends down, he is still proud and invincible.
That moment.
In the eyes of this child, she saw the perseverance that does not belong to this age.
-Because of the hard work, he was indomitable.
Just a glance.
Chu Yao knew that she would like this child.
There is no reason.
just love it.
The scenery in front of him changed, the prosperity of Never Sleeping City disappeared, and people had come to a village not far from Lingxi Peak.
"… "
The stamina of the glutinous rice wine in Never Sleeping City is a little big, and Xia Ge is a little overwhelmed and dizzy, "Ah... there are stars..."
Chu Yao: "..."
Unlike the bright and clean night in the city that never sleeps, Lingxi Peak is billowing with dark clouds tonight, and the moonlight can only reveal a tiny ray of light from the gap.
At this hour... it's almost dawn.
Where did the stars come from.
Chu Yao carried Xia Ge to the direction of Lingxi Peak, without using the teleportation stone or light power.
Give her a break from the alcohol.
she thinks rascally
The breeze blew away the aroma of glutinous rice wine on Xia Ge's body, and by the way brought a few crimson maple leaves, one of which fell on Xia Ge's head, she grabbed it casually and laughed stupidly, "Red... red..."
The red maples are scattered, and before you know it, it is late autumn.
Even if Chu Yao hadn't walked for a long time, the eastern sky gradually turned white, the darkness before dawn dissipated, and the early morning fog dissipated, and their city that never sleeps finally ushered in, and the night ends.
Chu Yao didn't take a few more steps before she saw the sword peak, the highest symbol of Lingxi Peak.
"Xia Wuyin."
"Grow up a little more."
"Um… "
"If I don't come back."
Chu Yao paused, "...you grow up, come to Chang'an to play with me."
Xia Ge made a sound of "um". She didn't sleep all day and night, and she drank so much wine and felt a little sleepy. She muttered back, "Okay."
Chu Yao carried her on her back and continued walking for a while, the blurred sword peaks in the morning fog gradually became clear, but after clearing the clouds, a girl with thin shoulders and a thin waist slowly showed her figure.
Chu Yao stood still and looked at Gu Peijiu who was dressed in the morning light and dressed in Danfeng plain clothes not far away.
She seemed to have waited for a long time, her eyelashes were slightly dyed with hoarfrost, but her eyes were so dark that no emotion could be seen, like an emotionless puppet.
Chu Yao's light brown eyes slid a little more delicately.
That one named Gu Peiju... No matter how calm he is, Chu Yao can feel that the other party has something very similar to her.
what is it
… tsk.
A little unhappy.
she called.
"Xia Wuyin."
"... Hmm." Xia Ge wrapped her arms around her neck, holding the red maple leaves in her hands, staring at her, her eyes a little hard to open, but she still responded, "It's here."
Not far away, under Gu Peijiu's hoarfrost-dyed eyelashes, her dark eyes were reflected on Chu Yao's back, hugging her neck, drinking Xia Ge who didn't know the east, west, north and south, as if the key had been pressed. The puppet immediately had the joys, sorrows and sorrows of the world of the world. Her red lips pursed slightly, and her expression was so cold that she almost fell ice balls.
Chu Yao raised her eyes to look at Gu Peijiu, the corners of her lips evoked a provocative smile, and the sharp little tiger teeth reflected the shimmer.
The soft silk of light blue and white, with a beautiful bow tied around the waist, softened Chu Yao's arrogant temperament, but Jiangshan's easy-to-change nature is hard to change—
With Xia Ge on her back, she brushed past Gu Peijiu without squinting. Her voice was low, as if she was talking to Xia Ge, with a vague sense of wanton and provocation.
Chu Yao said, "I like the clothes very much."
Gu Peijiu stood on the spot with no expression on her face, and allowed Chu Yao to pass by her side carrying the culprit who did not return home at night.
Gu Peijiu thought, is it because the fog has not cleared in the early morning, or because she has been standing there for too long, so she is cold all over at this time
The light of dawn is dim and bright.
Gu Peijiu lightly parted her red lips, just as she was about to say something, suddenly, her clothes were grabbed.
For a moment, all the words were silent.
Gu Peijiu raised his eyes.
Thin hands, very white, a little small.
Chu Yao paused, turned her head slightly, and her light brown eyes happened to meet Gu Peiju who was looking over.
Silent stalemate.
However, the fact was that the main culprit was not returning that night. One paw held Maple Leaf and hooked Chu Yao's slender neck, while the other hand grabbed Gu Peijiu's snow-white sleeves.
Gu Peijiu: "..."
Chu Yao: "..."
Xia Ge stared at the delicately embroidered red maple on the wide sleeves under her hands. After a while, she took the initiative to jump off Chu Yao's back, like a drunk rabbit. Gu Peijiu pinched the delicately embroidered maple leaves on the cuffs.
She carefully compared the real maple leaf in her hand with the embroidered maple leaf on her sleeve.
Chu Yao raised her eyebrows.
Gu Peijiu's face was expressionless.
Xia Ge still had a faint blush of drunkenness on her cheeks, and the faint scent of glutinous rice wine drifted away. She pinched Gu Peijiu's cuff, observed it for a while, and said happily, "Yeah... Yes, that's it."
Gu Peijiu was silent.
She looked at her.
Xia Ge laughed, but the cat's eyes were dyed with drunken thoughts and tiredness, like a dream but not a dream, like awake but not awake, her right hand quietly pulled open the sleeve embroidered with red maples, as if no one would notice her small movements, Then, he carefully stuffed the red maple leaf caught in his left hand into Gu Peijiu's hand.
It seemed to be because of drinking, or perhaps because she had been standing here for a long time, and the moment her fingertips touched, Gu Peijiu felt that the girl's always cold hand was now unusually warm.
The heat flowed from the fingertips, spread all the way to the limbs and bones, and finally condensed in the position of the heart, a comforting warmth.
Gu Peijiu froze slightly.
The maple leaves that fell in late autumn were slightly stained with white frost, but the icy frost was melted by the girl's soft palm, and it was an unusual experience to hold it in the palm of her hand.
There is no cold, just a warm warmth.
Xia Ge's voice is also small—
"This is Senior Sister's sleeve." She raised her head and looked at Gu Peijiu, her cat's eyes slightly drunk, as if she was talking to herself, "So, this is Senior Sister's hand."
"...Elder Sister's hands are so cold."
The girl stretched out her two hands and covered her cool, plain hand holding Maple Leaf, "Elder Sister... I'm good to you."
"So, Senior Sister, don't be angry."
Childish voice, like a real child is coquettish.
Chu Yao watched from the side and snorted, "It's childish."
can not watch anymore.
She turned around and left, but after a few steps, she stopped and turned back.
"Hey, don't forget."
Xia Ge was still holding Gu Peijiu's hand and turned around in confusion.
Chu Yao: "..."
Chu Yao said angrily, "Don't forget to come to Chang'an! I'll take you to play!"
Xia Ge's eyes lit up and blurted out, "Can I go now?"
Gu Peijiu: "..."
The corners of Chu Yao's mouth twitched slightly, and her little tiger teeth showed, "If you want to..."
Xia Ge felt that the hand he was covering seemed to be a little colder again.
She didn't bother to play for a moment, and when she turned around, she saw Gu Peijiu's quiet eyes, and the next second—
Xia Ge answered Chu Yao seriously: "I don't want to."
Chu Yao: "..."
Xia Ge turned to look at Gu Peijou again, Gu Peijou looked at her expressionlessly, and the two looked at each other. Xia Ge blinked and whispered, "If Big Sister is angry, I will coax her."
She looked back at Chu Yao again, her face was drunk, but her eyes were bright, she said seriously, "Elder sister is hard to coax."
Chu Yao: "..."
I'm also having a hard time coaxing! ! ! It's hard to coax too! !
Bah, coax a fart!
= =
Chu Yao left.
The Xuan-level promotion ceremony was because the city that never sleeps had too much stamina, and Xia Ge was too drunk, and the whole game passed with a smirk.
The Xuan-level ceremony invited many people from other sects.
"Forgive me for taking the liberty..." A Taoist-looking person swayed his whisk and said to someone on the side, "Why does this new Xuan-level alchemist from Danfeng look a little stupid?"
Xia Ge kept his mouth shut and didn't speak, just let the senior sister hold hands and smiled.
Gu Peijiu passed by and said lightly, "If you feel presumptuous, wouldn't it be better not to ask?"
Taoist priest: "..."
Apart from the protagonist's giggling all the way, this Xuan-level promotion ceremony went smoothly.
Well, probably.
However, the smooth surface cannot cover up the turbulent undercurrent in the depths.
Gu Peijiu felt that the girl was holding her hand slightly tighter.
She looked down at Xia Ge.
Xia Ge didn't look at her, she was still smiling, and she looked like she didn't wake up from drinking.
However, Gu Peijiu followed her line of sight and saw a girl with silver butterflies embroidered on her cuffs sitting demurely at the table, her forehead was gentle, her black pupils were clear and bright, and when she saw Gu Peijiu looking at her, she was even polite and reserved. Gave a soft smile.
Chu Yi.
Gu Peijiu nodded slightly as a return gift.
After a while, Ye Ze came over and sat beside her. When Chu Yi saw Ye Ze, she narrowed her eyes and smiled even sweeter, as if she had seen a lover.
It's just that Ye Ze looks a little bit uneasy.
Everything seemed normal, but something was wrong.
Can't tell what's wrong.
Gu Peijiu glanced at it. The ceremony was considered a grand ceremony. When people from outside sects came over, people from Danfeng's own sect also got all... However...
Xia Ge tilted his head, his mind was still a little dizzy, and there was still a bit of double vision when he saw people.
but…
Even if it's a ghost...
"Hey... I'm missing a friend."
She looked up at Gu Peijiu and repeated, "Elder Sister, I'm missing a friend."
at the same time-
Jianfeng is not like Danfeng, who likes to plant flowers and plants, and even less likes to plant trees. In short, he has a rough life and likes to plant some pragmatic fruit trees, but if he grows other kinds of trees, he will turn a blind eye. Eyes... In fact, in the final analysis, it is just too lazy to take care of it.
This maple tree can be said to be the characteristic of Jianfeng. It is called "Jianfeng" because the maple leaf is shaped like a sword.
In fact, Xia Ge always thought that Jianfeng was deformed.
But now, Su Chuan lazily played the flute under the sword maple tree, his voice very light and shallow.
After a while.
A young man wearing Jianfeng's clothes flashed over and knelt down in front of Su Qiang.
Su Chuan put away the flute, with a slight smile on his lips, "Did you say it?"
Li Liu lowered his head: "Reporting to the leader, everything is going well."
Not far away, Dan Feng's gun salute sounded.
Su Chuan held her cheeks, her long and narrow eyes slightly curved, "Everything is going well..."
It won't be long before Xiangbi knows that the Ye family's orphan in the Jianfeng Mountain prison will be unable to bear it and pick up the butcher's knife.
"Go back."
Li Liu said yes.
With a light laugh, Su Tan stood up, changed his body, and looked like Mao Qing again. She quietly looked at Dan Feng not far away, tilted her head slightly, the next moment, she disappeared like a ghost.
- "Elder Sister, I am missing a friend."
In the lively hall, the girl looked at Xia Ge, who was being held by Gu Peijiu, with a cheerful and enthusiastic smile on her lips.
- "Yeah, Xia Wuyin, are you looking for me?"
Xia Ge opened her eyes slightly, and saw Mao Qing's shadow in the double image. After a while, she laughed.
"Well, I'm just looking for you. What did you just go to Jianfeng for?"
Su Tuan's face remained motionless, and his eyes glanced, only to discover that a thin leaf of Jianfeng was actually stained on the cuff!
And Xia Ge stared at her tightly, holding Gu Peijiu's hand, smiling silly and innocent—
"Why is there a sword maple on the sleeve?"
