Another sunny day.
Lu Mingshu sat in the gazebo, watching Xiao Dai and Xiao Bu playing not far away.
Opposite her, sat two people.
Gao Xiang, Shao Zhengyang.
She wanted to go to Liulinju to find Gao Xiang today, but who knew he would come first.
Shao Zhengyang came at the same time, and the two happened to bump into each other.
I haven't seen him for eight years. Shao Zhengyang has matured a lot and looks like he is in his early thirties. Probably because he became the head of the sect, his behavior is very dignified, and he looks more and more like Master Yuwen.
Gao Xiang is fine, he switched to Kyushu's exercises early on, but he is still in his early twenties despite not being older.
The three of them have already talked about the old days, and now they are chatting casually.
"Junior Sister Lu, how long do you plan to stay in the faction?" It was Shao Zhengyang who asked.
Lu Mingshu replied: "It will take a few months, right?"
"That's right, I have something to trouble you."
"Oh?" Lu Mingshu pulled back his gaze.
Shao Zhengyang poured a cup of tea for each of them, and said: "Over the years, we have changed a lot of basic exercises from Kyushu, and most of them have been sorted out, but we are not very sure whether it is right or wrong. Grandmaster Xiang is busy. It's a big deal, it's not good to bother me with these things, so, can I ask Junior Sister Lu to take a look?"
"Small things." Lu Mingshu nodded, "Brother Shao just brings it."
Shao Zhengyang clapped his hands and was overjoyed: "It's very good."
Gao Xiang noticed another thing: "What about in a few months? Where are you going?"
"Tianyun City." She said, "Since I'm back, I'm going to visit Grandmaster Xiang."
"So that's how it is."
Lu Mingshu glanced at him: "Do you have something to say?"
Gao Xiang touched his head: "Are you going to Kyushu?"
Lu Mingshu picked up the teacup: "Why do you say that?"
"Gu Xia is too young for you. It's not an exaggeration to say that Long Yu Shoal is an exaggeration. Going to Kyushu to see the world has only advantages and no disadvantages."
Lu Mingshu smiled slightly: "It's not just me, everyone will go in the future."
Gao Xiang touched the tea cup: "Master asked me to go to Kyushu."
Lu Mingshu didn't hesitate to think: "It should be, your cultivation inheritance is useless in Guxia."
"Even you said that." Gao Xiang didn't drink the cup of tea, and put it down again.
"Why, you don't want to go?" Lu Mingshu smiled.
"Not really." Gao Xiang thought for a while, "Probably there is a feeling of being rejected, a little lost."
Ever since Zhuo Jiangui said this, he had this feeling, but it was hard to say it. Now that Lu Mingshu is back, he has nothing bad to say in front of her.
"Do you feel that you and Jiuyao Palace are not the same way?"
Gao Xiang nodded.
Lu Mingshu smiled faintly: "Then look at me, how much time have I stayed in the sect?"
… very few!
"In a short time, I will go to Tianyun City to meet Grandmaster Xiang. After that, I need to go to Kyushu to do something. If you think it's too lonely to be alone, why don't you come with me?"
Gao Xiang shook his head: "You have already transformed into a physical realm, if I am with you, it is inevitable that I will feel dependent."
Lu Mingshu smiled lightly. Hearing what he said, she was relieved.
Shao Zhengyang listened to their conversation and was very envious: "Unfortunately, I can't leave."
"Senior brother Shao, don't be in a hurry." Lu Mingshu said, "Although the responsibility of being the head of the sect is heavy, it is not impossible to completely escape it. Once the cultivation base is reached, if you divide up the affairs one by one, you can still spare time to go to Kyushu."
Shao Zhengyang nodded, and sighed: "In the early years, everyone in the faction was intoxicated with power when they fought for power. Now it's ridiculous to look at the day. ? The world is so big, trapped in one place, it is really short-sighted!"
Lu Mingshu raised the corner of his mouth. Shao Zhengyang can have a feeling, it seems that the atmosphere of Jiuyao Palace has been greatly changed.
This is good, Jiuyao Palace will be rejuvenated, so that it will not be eliminated by history.
After saying some more words, Shao Zhengyang left. He is still very busy as the leader.
Gao Xiang was always an idler, and he didn't go back until the sun went down, so he stayed for a meal.
In the middle of the moon, Lu Mingshu sent him out, and the two of them walked slowly along the path of Bixi Valley, as if they had returned to their childhood.
"Mingshu." Gao Xiang stopped.
"Um?"
"You said you're going to Kyushu to do something, are you looking for Xie Xingchen?"
"..." Lu Mingshu smiled slightly, "Yes."
The light in Gao Xiang's eyes brightened and dimmed: "Yes, he has done so much for you, and even went to Kyushu to find the illusory secret method of reincarnation, how could you not go to him?"
Lu Mingshu said softly: "That's right, at least I have to let him know that I'm still alive. lest he waste his time on meaningless things."
"Um."
The two stopped talking. A crooked moon hangs in the air, and the moonlight like water sprinkles on them.
Gao Xiang felt that he had a lot to say, but in the end he didn't say anything.
After lingering for a long time, he said, "Go back, it will be fine if you send it here."
Lu Mingshu nodded: "Be careful on the road."
"Know."
Gao Xiang stood where she was, watching her turn and go back, and her figure disappeared on the path.
He was left alone.
He looked up at the crescent moon in the sky, as if he was confiding to someone, and also seemed to be talking to himself: "Life is really wonderful. We met so early, but we missed the most critical time."
"Actually, I'm a bit unwilling, and I really want to say those words. But... so what if I say it? I have missed it, and saying it again will only add to the sadness. We have been friends for so many years, so let's continue to be pure friends .”
"You said, is this the truth?"
Leng Yue was silent and would not answer his question.
Gao Xiang smiled lowly and continued: "Actually, even without his existence, I wouldn't dare to say it. She is so dazzling, I always feel that I can't catch up. If it doesn't work, it's okay. If it does, this feeling can't be erased." If you fall, the relationship will deteriorate sooner or later."
"It's better to be clean like this, no one is responsible for anyone. No matter how long it takes, when I think of each other, my heart will be filled with joy. What's wrong with such a long-lasting and pure relationship?"
He seemed to be persuading himself, saying such free and easy words, but his tone was always unwilling.
If you haven't tried it, you have to give up. Who can be willing
However, he was reluctant to part with the present, so he had to give up the possibility of the future.
Gao Xiang looked up at the moon, but closed his eyes.
After a long, long time, he opened it with a bright smile.
"That's good, that's good."
He turned around, followed the path, and left Bixi Valley.
The cold moon is silent, shining on the lonely path.
After a long time, a person slowly came out from the shadow of the tree.
Lu Mingshu looked up at Gouyue, remained silent for a long time, and finally let out a sigh.
It's not that she didn't feel it, but she couldn't respond, so it's better to stop here.
She turned back to Bixi Valley. The breeze swayed, and this time it was really empty.
