Chang Nian went to Chang Lan after dinner. His brother has always been a workaholic, and he would definitely not be able to sleep when the bat attacked at night.
Sure enough, as soon as he arrived at the council hall, Chang Nian saw Chang Lan at the desk.
"elder brother."
Chang Lan was having a headache. Just now, Chu Yao came over and said that she shot the arrow, and asked her why she didn't come out and admit—
Chu Yao: "I was hungry and wanted to eat."
Chang Lan: "… "
This explanation is so legitimate that it leaves one speechless.
But since it was Chu Yao's hand, it is indeed reasonable to think about it. Jianfeng's alternate eldest disciple had the right to respond to emergencies. In such a crisis situation at the time, he could have done anything.
Chang Lan asked a few words at random, and sent the big Buddha back. Who knew that just after sending one away, he looked up and saw another.
When Chang Lan saw Chang Nian, she felt that she didn't have a headache, but her brain was hurting, "What are you doing?"
Chang Nian said, "Why can't I come?"
Chang Lan: "Father is so mad at you, tell me what you did... He asked me to punish you for three months."
"Why don't you just spend some money." Chang Nian muttered, "Our Chang family can't afford that little spiritual stone?"
Chang Lan: "… "
It's not about money or not, it's about stupidity.
Chang Nian: "Brother, punish me, Jianfeng is really boring, it's better for me to practice swordsmanship alone for three months."
Chang Lan sighed, "... Well, although I don't know if the thing you bought on the black market is real or not, since someone has released the news of the birth of Zhenhun, it's not entirely groundless, and it's better to let the family do some preparations. ."
After he finished speaking, he paused and said again: "...I heard that you stole Daddy's Wen Xianling?"
Chang Nian's eyes fluttered: "I didn't steal."
Chang Lan held her forehead and said, "Let's go back. Dad is really going to be mad at you."
Chang Nian said: "I won't pay it back! He's afraid that people will know about the good things he does?! He's just afraid that his mother will know!"
Chang Lan was silent for a while, and said, "Mother knows."
Chang Nian was startled.
Chang Lan pinched his brows and said, "Go back. This thing is the best only if you put it in your father's place. It's not good for anyone to put it in."
Chang Nian said bluntly: "Brother, do you also feel disgusted?"
Chang Lan stopped talking.
Chang Nian took out the bell, and the beautiful silver bell shook slightly, but there was no sound. Chang Nian looked at the bell and whispered, "But brother... I want to find her."
Chang Lan paused slightly, her eyes were slightly cold, and said, "A Nian, don't be too presumptuous."
Chang Nian raised his head: "But no matter what, she belongs to our Chang family..."
"That's not from our Chang family." Chang Lan's eyes turned cold, "That's the remnant of the Demon Sect."
Chang Nian said, "Brother!"
Chang Lan said: "Don't say it anymore, ask Xianling if you want to take it, don't come to me again before you go home next time, I won't punish you, you practice your sword well."
Chang Nian is not reconciled: "Brother..."
Chang Lan: "If you want to find it, you can find it by yourself. Even if you find it, I won't keep her."
Leave no leeway.
The two parted unhappily.
Not far from the gate of the palace, Chang Nian saw a blue-clothed girl with a silver butterfly on her sleeve not far away.
The girl stood among the flowers outside the hall, with beautiful silver butterflies entwined around her. She closed her eyes, and her whole body was covered in a hazy moonlight, as if she had entered a painting. An unreal dream.
Chang Nian was slightly startled, and after a while, "... Chu Yi?"
The girl stretched out her hand, and a silver butterfly landed on her fingertips, and then dispersed into silver dots, as if awakened by something, the illusory shadow gradually became clear, Chu Yi opened her eyes and saw him , with a slight smile on his face.
"Yeah, Changmin."
She looked at Chang Nian's expression, "Why don't you look happy?"
It seems, just right.
Just to send brother Ye Ze back, the time is just right.
Chu Yi's eyes slipped through the darkness, and then was enveloped by the hazy and sweet moonlight. The whole person looked gentle and dreamy, and people couldn't touch the dark swamp under the eyes.
Chang Nian thought of Chang Lan's attitude just now, and felt depressed. Just as he was about to say something, he heard Chu Yi say, "This bell is so beautiful."
Only then did Chang Nian realize that he was depressed just now, and the bell in his hand didn't have time to retract.
He was suffocated in his heart and had nowhere to express, and suddenly he wanted to find someone to talk about the suffocation in his heart. It was like venting, and he said maliciously: "This is my sister's bell."
Chu Yi wondered: "Sister? Do you still have a younger sister?"
Chang Nian said: "... I think there is."
Chu Yi paused, observed her words and expressions, and then laughed, "If you are unhappy, you can tell me."
Chang Nian was slightly startled, then closed his eyes slightly, "...Why did I tell you."
Chu Yi blinked: "Because, we are very similar."
Chang Nian said, "Where does it look like?"
"None of us can understand ourselves." Chu Yi's voice was soft, with a hazy glow in his eyes, "No one can be our friend."
Chang Nian was silent.
But... it is.
He is the youngest child of the Chang family, everyone respects him, his father is very strict with him, and his elder brother is busy with various affairs. Eat well, have you finished the task assigned by father today... Few people care about his inner thoughts.
"But sometimes, I'll be very lonely." Chu Yi came over and touched his face lightly, with a hazy moonlight in his eyes, "There are many, many words hidden in the bottom of my heart, it will be very tired."
"You must be like me, and you have a lot of words to hide in your heart." Chu Yi's voice was soft, and she looked at him with hazy and charming eyes.
Chang Nian said: "You think too much, I didn't..."
Chu Yi interrupted him gently, "Why don't you admit it?"
"We are all the same people."
"If... it was your sister, I wouldn't want to see you like this."
Chang Nian froze slightly.
After a long while, he closed his eyes: "...I don't have a sister."
Chu Yi's eyes moved slightly, "But you just said so."
Chang Nian said: "That doesn't count. My family doesn't admit it, and I've never seen her."
"But you like her very much, and..." Chu Yi said, "you really want to find her."
"I really want to... find her." Chang Nian lowered his head: "But what if I found her."
Chu Yi looked at the moonlight, her eyes were unpredictable, but the smile on her lips was still shallow.
"Why don't you care if others like it or not." Chu Yi said, "Just follow your own ideas."
Chang Nian was slightly startled, and after a while, "...Maybe, you're right."
He wanted to find his sister, save her from being helpless, save her the suffering of exile.
I've always wanted to.
That's blood relatives.
"... She has nothing left." Chang Nian murmured, "I don't know if she is still alive."
"Sounds like... your own sister?" Chu Yi asked, her voice vaguely seductive: "Why doesn't your family recognize her?"
"It's my half-sister." Chang Nian felt a little dazed, and he whispered, "My family doesn't recognize her because... her mother is Qin Yue."
Qin Yue
Chu Yi was slightly startled, but still smiled, "Former Demon Sect leader?"
Chang Nian made a sound of "um", holding the bell, the whole person looked a little dejected, "Qin Yue was arrested a few years ago and is still locked in the mountain prison, but..."
"The mountain prison? Where?"
Chang Nian didn't think anything was wrong, "Jianfeng Mountain Prison."
Chu Yi's eyes narrowed slightly, but they quickly relaxed, with a shallow smile on his lips: "It's so pitiful."
Chang Nian said: "But at that time, my sister was still so young..."
Speaking, Chang Nian's mood was a little low, and he looked at the bell and started dumbfounded.
Chu Yi chuckled: "You will find her."
Chang Nian gave up hope, "I hope so."
Chu Yi looked at the bright moonlight with a deep smile on her lips.
... It turns out that this is the one in the mountain prison.
I just didn't expect that the upright head of the Chang family would have such a scandal.
He colluded with the demon sect leader at the time, and had an illegitimate daughter.
The smile on Chu Yi's lips was slightly mocked.
The transactions behind the honorable and decent are really dirty.
Disgusting.

After a thorough investigation of the giant bat, no splash was found. It had nothing to do with him hanging up high, and Xia Ge didn't care.
She's been... busy lately.
The sky was white with fish belly just rising, and Gu Peijiu's front door was full of brilliant flowers. Xia Ge squatted on the plane tree in her small courtyard, squinting to enjoy the morning sunlight.
The green curtains that closed the windows were drawn.
Xia Ge squatted on the branch of the tree, looked down, and didn't see the person he wanted to see for a long time, but Tian Zhuling slowly came out of the window like a red snake, and slowly spread himself out from the window lattice. Hang down and let the morning sun spread evenly on yourself.
The bright red silk is full of sunlight, and it does not lose its color in the flower clusters, which is particularly beautiful.
Xia Ge: "..." So, do you want to say hello
It didn't take long for the door to open with a "squeak" sound.
Xia Ge straightened his expression and greeted him from the tree, "Good morning, Senior Sister."
Gu Peijiu, dressed in red and white maple, came out in the dim light of the morning. The flowers were in full bloom by the threshold, which made the girl's eyebrows and eyes light and her skin white as snow. She raised her eyes and saw the girl squatting on the tree and looking down. , frowned slightly, "What are you doing?"
Xia Ge was extremely positive: "Please say goodbye to Senior Sister!"
Gu Peijiu: "No need."
Xia Ge pretended not to hear it, looked at the flowers in front of the court, and said, "Senior sister, the flowers on your side are so pretty."
A lot of flowers were planted in front of the courtyard, and they were clustered together. They were in full bloom. Xia Ge had nothing to say, "Senior sister, what's the name of this flower?"
But he didn't hear the other party's response for a long time.
Xia Ge looked at the past, a little lost.
The girl in red and white maple stood in front of the door, with a slender figure, the morning sunlight penetrated her soft hair little by little, like a pair of ink paintings from a poet, she looked up at her, her eyes seemed to be in the painting The mountains and rivers reflected her figure, and her eyes were filled with the silence that penetrated the ages.
It seems like a long time has passed.
It seems like a fairy in the painting, and it seems that she can come to the world because of her glance, never stained with the world of painting.
After a long while, Gu Peijiu seemed to have come to her senses, she whispered.
"It's a hydrangea."
Xia Ge blinked, and then came back to his senses, "...that hydrangea that can be found by throwing it out and finding someone you like?"
Gu Peijiu denied: "No..."
A round object was thrown head-on, Gu Peijiu raised her hand to catch it, and the hand was slightly cold. Before she could see what it was, she heard a serious but somewhat crisp laugh from the girl on the tree, learning from the ancients, "Then... Hydrangea Throw it to you, will Senior Sister marry me?"
There were clusters of flowers, the morning light was faint, and the girl's crisp voice was like a thunderbolt, which suddenly penetrated the bottom of her heart, making her heart beat out of rhythm. The girl in the sunshine, for a time, seems to have passed through countless angry puppets howling and clamoring, countless blood and the angry cries of evil spirits, passing through the punishment and thunder, through the time of waiting for a hundred years, through the heavy The memories of lovesickness and bloody dyeing are only for this moment.
A thousand years at a glance.
Xia Ge: "Senior sister, why are you looking at me, I'm joking, I picked the apples from the Beast Peak this morning, but you don't eat the persimmons from Jianfeng, or the apples from the Beast Peak? I'll wash them. "
"Really..." Gu Peijiu looked away and unconsciously took a bite of the fruit in his hand, the sweet and crunchy taste melted away, "Nonsense."
