"Miss." Hui Niang's voice came from outside.
Lu Mingshu walked over and opened the door.
Hui Niang looked at her worriedly: "What's wrong? Are you sick?"
Hearing this, Lu Mingshu couldn't help laughing: "Aunt Hui, with my current cultivation, how could I be sick?"
"But you haven't eaten for days..."
She laughed again: "I don't need to eat anymore!" Wu Xiu advocated getting energy from food, but when it comes to trance, it is not necessary.
It sounded normal, but Hui Niang felt that something was wrong with her, so she simply asked, "Miss, are you in a bad mood?"
Lu Mingshu still wanted to laugh, but he raised the corner of his mouth, but he didn't laugh.
Hui Niang pulled her out: "No matter what, come out and relax, okay?"
Not wanting to worry her, Lu Mingshu complied obediently: "Okay."
With nothing to do, she simply wandered around Bixi Valley, and unknowingly, she came to Zhixin Rock.
This rock hanging in mid-air was once Xie Xingshen's most frequent visit. He always liked to stay here when he lived in Bixi Valley for a short time.
She flew up and sat down on the rock, trying to experience that feeling.
Looking from here, there are only layers of greenery, and human voices can be faintly heard. In this world, you can enjoy the purity alone.
He is also afraid of being lonely, right? The former Xie Lianzhen looked at the world coldly, but felt extremely lonely in her heart.
"Mingshu." A voice came from below.
She looked down, and Liu Jizhen had already flown up.
"Master."
Liu Jizhen nodded, and sat down opposite her - this rock is very suitable for two people to have a heart-to-heart talk, it is clean and independent, just enough for two people.
"Huiniang came over and told me that you are in a bad mood."
She lowered her head and apologized sincerely: "I'm sorry for making you worry."
Liu Jizhen said: "What is there to apologize for? If you want to, talk to Master?"
Lu Mingshu thought for a while and said, "Master, I'm not in a bad mood, it's just that there are some things I don't want to understand."
"Is it related to that kid surnamed Xie?"
She hesitated for a moment, and handed over the letter he left.
Liu Jizhen took it, read it in twos and twos, and remained silent for a while.
"Master?"
He handed the letter back and said, "It's my teacher who underestimated him, so he's not so stupid."
Lu Mingshu lowered his head.
"Then what don't you understand?" Liu Jizhen asked again, "He's already made things clear, hasn't he?"
She said softly: "He talks about his business, and I think about my business."
"You?" Liu Jizhen frowned, and said bluntly, "You can't figure out what kind of feelings you have for him?"
Lu Mingshu was silent for a moment, then nodded.
"He... is so hardworking, I always feel that he seems to have let him down."
"Then I think it's right for him to leave." Liu Jizhen said bluntly, "It's not wrong to repay people who have been kind to you, but there are some things that cannot be repaid."
"..."
"He is right. If you like someone, you should not be her bondage. Since he has done it, you should let it go. Don't deliberately think about whether you like it or not. Feelings are there. In the end, the true face will be revealed. Let time prove all this, and when the time comes, the truth will naturally come to light."
Lu Mingshu took a deep breath: "I see, Master."
Liu Jizhen smiled: "I know, I have to do it."
"Yeah." She clenched her fist.
…
Another month passed, and her injury was almost healed, and Xiaobu's upgrade plan was beginning to take shape.
Under the leadership of the steward, Lu Mingshu went up to Linshui Cliff.
"Master Fu is practicing inside, elder, the younger one is going to call the door?" the manager said flatteringly.
She waved her hand: "No, you step back."
"Yes."
After the steward left, Lu Mingshu stepped forward and knocked on the door.
After a while, a voice came from inside: "Just put the food at the door."
She said, "Fu Mingtang, it's me."
It was quiet inside for a while, and after a while, the door opened, revealing Fu Mingtang's handsome and haggard face.
Seeing her, Fu Mingtang felt a little embarrassed: "Is there something wrong?"
Without waiting for his invitation, Lu Mingshu went straight into the room.
After Zhou Miaoru's death, Fu Shangqing once took him back to discipline him personally, but not long after, he came back again. In the past few years, he hardly stepped down the water cliff.
Linshui Cliff was originally a place of ascetic practice, except for the good ground veins, nothing else is outstanding. These huts are crudely built, with nothing but daily furnishings.
Lu Mingshu glanced over, and finally sat down at the table, his eyes fell on him: "You haven't practiced the new secret technique?"
Fu Mingtang is still in the Fusion Realm, and his foundation is solid, but compared to a few years ago, his cultivation has not improved much.
He froze for a moment, and responded in a low voice.
"Come and sit down." Lu Mingshu said. Standing there, it was like interrogating him.
After she said that, Fu Mingtang walked over slowly and sat down opposite her.
"Why don't you practice a new secret method?"
Fu Mingtang moved his lips and said, "I... am not qualified to practice."
Lu Mingshu narrowed his eyes: "Qiushi Institute should make it very clear that as long as they are disciples of this sect, they can exchange their contributions for secret techniques."
He hesitated for a while, as if he had made up his mind, and looked up at her: "I know that I am not qualified to call you sister... Although I have never persecuted you, I have been enjoying the benefits. Now that I have enjoyed the benefits for such a long time, Zhou My family is ruined, there is no reason not to bear the consequences. I am already very grateful that you didn't drive me out of Jiuyao Palace, how can I enjoy the benefits of you with peace of mind... "
"So these past few years, you've locked yourself in Linshuiya, making it look like you're in prison?" Lu Mingshu sneered, "Fu Mingtang, are you sure you're not competing with me?"
Fu Mingtang was stunned for a moment: "I'm not..."
"Okay, just pretend that you are not. But if you do this, what good is it for me? I have no love or hatred for you. Even if you torture yourself to death, I will not have the slightest pleasure. As for the secret method, I They have already been taken out. Is there any difference between one more person practicing or one less person practicing? On the contrary, if you shut yourself up like this, others will not know, and think that I have hatred in my heart and deliberately imprison you!"
Fu Mingtang was a little flustered: "That's not what I meant..."
"I'm too lazy to care what you mean." Lu Mingshu said, "Fu Shangqing absconded in fear of crime, do you know about this?"
Fu Mingtang nodded silently.
The Zhou family was expelled from the sect, and he still had a reason to stay. Now that even Fu Shangqing has absconded, he is only embarrassed in Jiuyao Palace.
These days, he has already received supercilious looks from the steward, and meals are delivered every now and then.
"Then do you know why?"
Fu Mingtang shook his head. Knowing this, he asked the steward, but got no answer.
"I'll tell you."
