Qiang Wanzhou was stunned:
"I've always put it this way."
Always
Chu Liuyue suddenly understood:
"Did you do this when you followed that person before? Did she also like to do this?"
Qiang Wanzhou said "hmm".
Chu Liuyue raised her eyebrows.
There are many people who like to play chess, and there are also many people who like to drink tea.
However, there are very few people who like to put ginger tea next to the chessboard.
At least among the people Chu Liuyue knew, apart from herself, she had never seen anyone like this.
"To put it this way, it's quite a coincidence."
That person's name is "Yue", and she is also called "Yue".
That man likes to put ginger tea next to the chess jar, and she likes it too.
It seemed that she was quite destined to meet Qiang Wanzhou.
Chu Liuyue rubbed the teacup in her hand.
The tea inside is still hot, with curls of white smoke, and a slightly bitter smell with a hint of spiciness, which is particularly refreshing.
She suddenly became a little curious about that person.
It would be interesting to meet that person if he were still alive.
Qiang Wanzhou didn't know what he was thinking and was a little distracted.
Chu Liuyue called him twice before he came back to his senses.
"What?"
Chu Liuyue said:
"I said, let's all rest and adjust separately today, and then go to Chongxu Pavilion tomorrow."
Yuchisong had already gone back, leaving Ye Ranran to help them.
So Ye Ranran will also stay here this night.
Although the courtyard is not as big as Mu Mansion, it is more than enough to accommodate a few more people.
Ye Ranran left quickly.
Qiang Wanzhou seemed to have something to say and stayed.
Chu Liuyue walked over and asked with a smile:
"If you have anything to ask, just ask."
Qiang Wanzhou's back was facing the door, and the afterglow fell on his soft blond hair, glowing brilliantly and brightly. Even his ears seemed to be transparent, outlining the delicate outline of his cheeks.
However, his facial features were hidden in the shadows, half-dark and unable to be seen clearly.
Only those eyes were shining with some mysterious and obscure light.
He was silent for a long time and then asked softly:
"Have you been to Southern Xinjiang before?"
Chu Liuyue shook her head.
"No."
The light in Qiang Wanzhou's eyes extinguished instantly like a candle.
Chu Liuyue's heart sank inexplicably, as if she was being pressed down heavily by something.
"I see."
After Qiang Wanzhou finished speaking, he turned around and left.
Just after taking a step, he suddenly stopped.
"Do you think she won't remember me anymore?"
His voice was so soft that it almost floated in the wind.
There is no longer the usual cold and hard tone, nor the stubborn tone of the past.
At this time, Qiang Wanzhou was like a child who suddenly lost his direction and didn't know where to go.
Chu Liuyue looked at his back.
The young man's overly thin figure was hidden in the loose and rough clothes and was swaying.
A deep loneliness emanated from his body and enveloped him.
"how could be?"
Chu Liuyue spoke softly.
"You are so obedient and outstanding, she will never forget you. If she knows you are looking for her, she will definitely come to you."
Qiang Wanzhou was silent for a long time.
"You are right, she will not forget me. If it weren't for me, who would help her make tea and grind her chess pieces?"
His tone was much firmer, as if he was trying to convince someone.
"She won't forget me."
After saying that, he left without looking back.
His steps were hurried, as if he was worried about being overtaken by something.
Chu Liuyue's lips moved, but in the end she swallowed the words that came to her lips.
After all, this is Qiang Wanzhou's own business.
Once you get settled here, maybe you can help him look for it.
Chu Liuyue stood there for a while, then returned to the house and started refining the elixir.
As her own strength broke through to the fourth-level warrior, she also officially became a fourth-level heavenly doctor.
As a result, she was much more relaxed when refining alchemy than before.
After refining three pills, she stopped and began to recuperate.
It was not until the original transport capacity was running for three weeks that it finally stopped and lay down to rest.
A good night's sleep.
Early the next morning, Chu Liuyue and the other two went to Chongxu Pavilion together.
Chongxu Pavilion is located in Qingyuan Mountain.
Xiling City is huge, with undulating mountains inside and outside the city.
The major sects have different locations and are far apart from each other, so generally speaking, they live in peace and harmony.
Qingyuan Mountain is located in the northeast corner of Xiling City. What is special is that it is an isolated peak.
But because the mountain is rich in Force, it is a good place for practice.
As soon as Chu Liuyue and his party arrived at the foot of Qingyuan Mountain, Chu Liuyue discovered that something was wrong.
In the past, there was a very powerful defensive barrier on Qingyuan Mountain, but now although the barrier is still there, the power on it is obviously much weaker than before.
Chu Liuyue couldn't help but ask:
"This barrier seems a little strange."
"Ah? Oh, you're talking about this! In fact, this barrier was not like this before, but a year ago, someone forced into Chongxu Pavilion and destroyed the barrier. Later, the pavilion master and elders finally restored it. . It’s just that this defensive barrier requires a lot of manpower and material resources to maintain. It’s more difficult for us to rush to the Xu Pavilion now, so we can only barely maintain it like this for now. "
After saying that, seeing Chu Liuyue's complex expression, Ye Ranran quickly said:
"But don't worry, although this barrier is not as strong as before. But since the Pavilion Master and the elders are guarding Qingyuan Mountain, there will be no danger."
Chu Liuyue smiled bitterly in her heart.
Ye Ranran was the only one who could say this so calmly.
In fact, if you think about it, you will know that if a sect is not forced to have no choice, how can it not even maintain the most basic defensive barrier
It can be seen that the situation in Chongxu Pavilion is worse than she had expected.
"It's okay, it's just my first time here and I'm just a little curious. Let's keep going! The Pavilion Master and the others should already be waiting for us."
Ye Ranran didn't doubt that he was there, so he led the way.
There is only one stone path up the mountain, which stretches from the foot of the mountain to the top of the mountain.
Chu Liuyue and Qiang Wanzhou followed Ye Ranran and went up.
Not long after walking, Chu Liuyue paused.
On the steps under her feet, there was a trace of dried dark red blood.
It looks like it's been a while.
She looked to the side along the blood stain, her pupils shrinking slightly.
There was actually a large amount of blood scattered around, but it gradually became darker as time went by.
Coupled with the cover of dust, rocks, soil and other things, you really can't see it unless you look carefully.
But based on the blood stains, it is not difficult to imagine what a fierce battle broke out here.
This is the foot of the mountain
Chu Liuyue's heart twitched slightly.
I wonder what the scene will be like on the mountain top.
It’s really terrifying to be able to severely damage Chongxu Pavilion’s vitality, which once stood at the top, and then fall all the way to this point!
She took a deep breath, looked away, and continued walking upward.
