When Mu Xi woke up again, she found herself in a patch of flowers halfway up the mountainside of Wu Zen Gate.
The flowers were blooming, but there was no one around.
Mu Xi stood up suddenly: "Lou Jingxiao?"
The surroundings were quiet, with birds chirping, flowers fragrant, and insects chirping, but the person who should be by her side was missing.
As soon as Mu Xi took a step, he stepped on something.
She backed away slightly, looked down and saw a dark green bottle. She often saw this bottle, which was a medicine unique to the Demon Palace.
The wound medicine... was it left by Lou Jingxiao
She turned her head and glanced at her right hand, and moved it a little. Different from being unable to move before, there was only some severe pain left, but the broken bones seemed to be healed somehow.
At that time, she clearly heard the sound of bones in her right hand breaking, and she thought her hand would become useless.
I didn't expect it to be better...
is it him
"Lou Jingxiao!" Mu Xi called again.
Why did this guy knock her out before
Are you dealing with something
Mu Xi could only sit there and adjust her breathing for a while, then applied the wound medicine left by Lou Jingxiao on her arm, and then quietly waited for Lou Jingxiao to come back.
Although this is the territory of Wu Zen Sect, since he can place his unconscious self here, it should be considered safe.
Mu Xi practiced while waiting for Lou Jingxiao to return.
The midday sun fell on her, illuminating the flowers around her beautifully.
Time passed by little by little, and the noon sun slowly set to the west, and the afterglow of the setting sun dyed the entire mountain range red.
Mu Xi's heart, which had been waiting quietly, became more and more agitated.
Originally, she thought Lou Jingxiao had left temporarily because of something else.
But the longer she waited, the more restless she became, until after the sun set, she finally lost her patience.
"Lou Jingxiao! Where are you?"
There is no sound around...
Did he really just leave himself here alone
No, it's impossible!
Even if he wants to leave her, he will definitely wait until she wakes up. He will definitely be watching her somewhere!
Thinking of this, Mu Xi immediately started searching. She searched around the entire mountain range. Except for the Wuzhen disciples who occasionally went up and down the mountain, there was no one she wanted to see.
She returned to the place where she had just woken up, staring blankly at the medicine in her hand.
"You just left me here like this? Why?" Mu Xi murmured to himself: "Are you afraid that I will blame you? I won't... You know, although I am stingy, I will not be stingy with you... "
Why
Mu Xi couldn't understand why he knocked her unconscious and then left her here
The more Mu Xi thought about it, the angrier she became. She held up the medicine bottle and said firmly to the air: "Okay, I won't leave until you come!"
She has nothing but the patience to waste time with others!
She wants to see how long he can hide!
As if he heard Mu Xi's words, there was sudden movement in the air behind him.
Mu Xi's eyes lit up and she immediately turned around: "Lou..."
It was a man in gray clothes whom she had seen before. He was the secret guard beside Lou Jingxiao and rarely appeared.
Her eyes darkened.
The man in gray clothes saluted Mu Xi and said in a flat voice, "Madam, the master has left to do some things. Please don't wait for him."
"Do something..." When Mu Xi heard this, his chest tightened: "Go do something instead of avoiding me?"
The man in gray didn't speak.
Mu Xi took a deep breath: "What if I really have to wait?"
The man in gray said sternly: "The master has left and will not come back."
The implication is that even if you wait here, you won't be able to wait for him.
Mu Xi felt like she had been left behind: "He just left me?"
The man in gray was silent.
"Lou Jingxiao, you coward." Mu Xi raised his hand and covered his chest. Under his palm, his beating heart was throbbing in pain.
The man in gray waited quietly for a while.
After confirming that Mu Xi had nothing to do with him, he hesitated for a moment, and finally disappeared as silently as before.
When the surroundings returned to silence, Mu Xi finally couldn't help but sit among the flowers, hugging her knees and burying her face in them.
The sun sets completely.
The sky gradually darkened.
The mountains are getting closer and closer, and no one is walking on the road up and down the mountain.
Mu Xi stayed alone for a long, long time.
Time seems to pass by like a year.
She didn't know how long she had been here.
When she came back to her senses, soft footsteps slowly walked towards her.
Mu Xi raised his head and saw a person in front of him in the starlight, holding a lantern in his hand, standing in front of him.
The bright lantern was like the bright moon in the sky, and the gentle and handsome face as jade caught her eyes. Liao Wen stood in front of her and looked at her quietly.
Sensing that Mu Xi had come to her senses, he stretched out his hand to help her up, saying apologetically: "I'm sorry, Xiao Xi..."
Mu Xi shook his head: "I don't blame you."
"No, blame me." There was a deep apology in Liao Wen's eyes: "If I hadn't let you go up the mountain..."
Mu Xi said: "But I also lied to you. He is indeed a demon."
There was silence for a moment, and then he slowly laughed: "It's different, your mistakes can be forgiven."
Mu Xi was confused and looked up at him.
"Because I'm the eldest brother." Liao Wen patted her on the head, smiled, his dimples were a little deep, and said, "As a eldest brother, you have to tolerate your mistakes."
Mu Xi pursed her lips, not knowing what to say.
The words of sworn vows lingered in my ears, saying that they were sworn sworn friends, but in fact, it seemed that he and Xiaoguai were the only ones who were really serious about it.
She felt that she was just passing by, so she didn't take it to heart.
But now, speaking from the other person's heart, she felt that having such a big brother seemed... not bad.
"I still have to thank you." Liao Wen suddenly said: "If you hadn't stopped him, Master and I would both..."
Mu Xi thought for a while and defended Lou Jingxiao: "He's not usually like this."
"Isn't it?" He Wen asked subconsciously, and then paused. He felt that what he said seemed inappropriate, so he said: "I thought that the demons were all so bloodthirsty."
"No." Mu Xi said: "Some demons are actually very friendly and cute. Although they are a little impulsive, they do not kill innocent people indiscriminately. They also have their own principles. At least, the demons I saw, they are really It’s… very friendly.”
Liao Wen pondered quietly for a moment, then sighed slightly: "Xiao Xi's words have shaken all my thoughts in the past few decades."
He always thought that the demons were just like what he had seen before, cruel and bloodthirsty.
What he had been taught since childhood was to slay evil spirits and get rid of demons.
But for some reason, now, he felt that he should believe her words.
