"You mean, in the end, Sect Master Chen helped you block the person who was chasing you, and then this sword took you out?"

After listening to Chen Tai'a's incoherent conversation for about half an hour, Xiao Che, who had already packed the dilapidated temple and sat down expressionlessly, and then took advantage of the opportunity to interrupt Chen Tai'a.

"Yes."

Chen Taia replied with a depressed expression.

"Ao Jiu took me to fly for a day and a night, and his spiritual power was exhausted and he fell down. I didn't expect that he would meet you here by chance, Brother Xiao Che!"

Chen Taia finally had a hint of spirit in his dull eyes.

Hearing this, Xiao Che's eyes couldn't help but fall on the Nine Swords of Crow in Chen Tai'a's arms, and he didn't think it was a coincidence.

On the long journey from Kunlun Mansion to Qiushui, his grandfather Xiao Changge told him almost all the secrets he knew of the ten states as stories.

Among them is the Crow Nine Swords.

Although Xiao Changge's story about Crow Nine Swords is not very exciting, the reason why Xiao Che still remembers it is because Crow Nine is a "demon sword" with unique land in the ten states. This sword is different from those spiritual swords that have swords first and then gods. This sword is said to have been transformed by a giant demon in the ten states at the beginning.

So in Xiao Che's opinion, the coincidence that Chen Tai'a mentioned is very likely to be caused by this "Ao Jiu".

"I don't know how my father is doing now, and if he has escaped."

However, just as Xiao Che was thinking about this question, Chen Taia began to talk to himself and continued to talk.

Xiao Che was never a person who would comfort others, so he started to do his own work.

He first dug a shallow pit in the open space with a dagger, then placed the dry firewood that had been prepared long ago next to him neatly, and finally used a real index finger to gently stroke a piece of dry firewood, and the dry firewood was ignited instantly.

"Brother Xiao Che, do you think my father can escape?"

Chen Taia, who was beside him, asked with a worried look on his face.

At this time, Xiao Che was using the lit dry firewood to ignite the entire pile of firewood, as if he had no time to care about Chen Tai'a's question.

"My father is so powerful, he will definitely be able to escape, right?"

"I have had other sects seeking revenge several times before, and I was easily driven away by my father."

Mr. Chen, who did not receive Xiao Che's response, then came to Xiao Che.

Xiao Che, who was choked by the smoke, turned his head and continued to cause fire.

"You have also seen my dad compete with your grandfather. My dad is very awesome, right?"

Chen Tai'er moved his body and asked behind Xiao Che.

Finally, the entire small pile of firewood was ignited, and the dark and ruined temple suddenly became bright. Xiao Che let out a long sigh with a hint of relief.

Xiao Che, who seemed to be very satisfied with his work, rubbed his hands in the fire with satisfaction, and said without looking back:

"Your father didn't escape, he's been arrested."

"Are you caught?!"

Xiao Che choked" Chen Taia, who had been chattering in his ears with just one sentence.

After a few seconds of stunnedness, he shook his head suddenly and said:

"Impossible, my father will definitely escape. Even if my second and fourth uncles are combined, they are not his opponent, and no one can stop him."

After saying that, his bright big eyes were still staring at Xiao Che, as if he wanted the other party to take back what he said just now.

"No matter how strong he is, he is still alone."

Xiao Che said lightly.

"But, but..."

Before Chen Tai'a could continue to distinguish, Xiao Che stood up and walked outside the ruined temple, and used a dagger to remove the scales and internal organs and wash them.

Not long after, Chen Tai'a followed her to the dilapidated temple and watched Xiao Che work with his eyes blankly.

"It's all my fault. If it weren't for me, my father wouldn't have been special. If I come back to save me, these people will definitely not be able to find my father."

As if he had recognized the fact that his father could hardly escape, his expression became increasingly depressed.

"Indeed, if Uncle Chen is alone, it will not be difficult to escape."

Xiao Che seemed to turn a blind eye to Chen Tai'a's loss, and even agreed with what he just said.

As he said that, he scooped a scoop of water beside a large water tank in front of the ruined temple gate to wash the fresh fish that he had processed.

"Why are you still as choking as before?"

Chen Taia pouted unhappily.

"What about that?"

He raised his foot and was about to step into the ruined temple. Xiao Che turned his head and looked at Mr. Chen when he heard this.

"Are you going to ask me to comfort you? And tell you that it's not your fault?"

He said coldly.

For a moment, Chen Tai'a was speechless again.

"Don't make a mistake, this is your fault. If you are stronger, you may be able to escape by yourself, but you are too weak. If you are smarter, you may be able to simply see their conspiracy, but you are not smart enough. If you are braver, you may be able to stay with your father and share his hardships with him, but you are not brave enough. So you must understand that your situation at this moment and your father's situation are all your fault, and you cannot escape."

After saying that, Xiao Che walked into the dilapidated temple without even speaking.

"Yes, it's all my fault..."

Chen Taia, who was stunned by Xiao Che's words like a cannon, suddenly lowered her head.

He slowly turned around and walked down the mountain step by step. His small figure was soon submerged and disappeared by the green and ink-colored mountains.

Xiao Che naturally noticed Chen Tai'a's departure, but he still didn't turn his head. He just silently put half of the fish in his hand into the pot and half of it with bamboo skewers beside the fire. Then, in this dilapidated temple with no roof, he sat silently on the ground, hugging his knees, staring at the beating flames on the fire with a frown, dazed.

Compared to Mr. Chen, Xiao Che's character has grown a lot over the past year.

Although he has never had a good face to others except his family and always speaks sarcastically, the reason why he just said that to Tai Ah Chen was actually the shadow of himself on his panic-willed and at a loss. He hated the self who was unreasonable, extremely uneasy, and very weak.

"Oh... this idiot."

I don’t know how long it took, but Xiao Che suddenly lowered his head and sighed.

Then he suddenly stood up and was about to walk outside the temple.

However, he stopped just after turning around, and saw a young man grinning at the door of the ruined temple, holding a sword and grinning at him.

Although he smiled brightly, Xiao Che still saw the tears that had not been wiped clean at the corners of his eyes, and the anxiety and loneliness deep in his pupils.

"The fish you grilled is so fragrant."

As if nothing had happened, the boy walked straight into the ruined temple and sat back next to Xiao Che, then smiled and reached out to get the grilled fish next to the fire.
