Chapter 32 The Things You Don't Know
As we all know, Qiushan Jun has deep roots in his love for Xu Yourong. People once thought that Xu Yourong was equally affectionate with Qiushan Jun. The true dragon and the heavenly phoenix have the same origin and grow together. One is very likely to continue the inheritance of the saint who has been cut off for decades in the Changsheng Sect, and the other is the future saint of the Southern Sea. No matter how you look at it, these are all made of heaven and earth.
Until… the green ivy feast in Kyoto last year.
At that Qingteng Banquet, Chen Changsheng took out his wedding letter. At the same time, Xu Yourong asked Bai He to bring a letter. In that letter, she clearly stated that everything was not what people thought. It was not until this moment that the whole world knew that the so-called creation of heaven and earth was naturally just people's imagination and hope for beautiful things in their hearts.
If it were an ordinary girl, Xu Yourong would not be willing to meet Akiyama Jun now. Because of the embarrassment and inconvenience, those extraordinary girls who are smart and decisive in their work would not meet Akiyama Jun, because it seems that only in this way can the other party calm down as soon as possible.
But Xu Yourong did not do this. She was not the boy like the breeze, and her heart was not contaminated with dust. She would not make any calculations or make any decisions.
Walking into the cave at the top of the mountain, she put the empty food box on the table and said to Akiyama-kun on the bed: "Seven Junior Sisters are still very weak, but they always want to go to Kyoto to find Zhexiu."
Akiyama-kun leaned against the head of the bed, his pale face full of worry: "The uncle of the master returned to the mountain and found out about this matter very unhappy, and scolded the junior sister for a long time
Xu Yourong was a little puzzled and said, "Senior Su Li is so carefree and unruly, why is he so inhumane in this matter?"
Akiyama-kun smiled and said, "When any man is a father, he will always become the father-in-law he hates most when he was young."
Xu Yourong said, "But I still don't understand why he opposed it so harshly."
Qiushanjun was silent for a while and said, "Uncle Shi saw the wolf cub on the snow field back then. He said... the wolf cub was sick and could not live for too long.
When Xu Yourong heard about this for the first time, he couldn't help but feel a little emotional when he thought about the boy from the wolf clan who once put the greatest pressure on him on the Qingyun List. In addition to his miserable life, his fate was also so terrible.
Qiushanjun looked at her and said, "No father would agree to his daughter marry a short-lived ghost... Speaking of which, Uncle Shi scolded Chen Changsheng for three days for this matter."
Xu Yourong smiled and didn't say anything. After coming to Lishan, she learned about what happened after Zhouyuan, such as the story of Chen Changsheng accompanying Su Li to cross the snow field to cool off. He had to admit that these things made her impression of the guy named Chen Changsheng change, but after all, that guy was named Chen Changsheng. She would not speak ill of him, but she did not want to praise him.
Akiyama Jun stopped talking, and continued to read the sword scripture in his hand with the light of the night pearl on the stone wall.
Xu Yourong picked up a volume of the Sutra of Eternal Life from the table and began to read it silently.
The cave was very quiet, but not ambiguous, but very natural, just like Xu Yourong walked in before, and the two started a conversation and then ended the conversation, without any need to do anything deliberately.
A few years ago, when Xu Yourong was a little girl, she came to Saint Maiden Peak from Kyoto and began to practice and study in Nanxizhai to interpret the heavenly books. The two of them met frequently, and often sat opposite each other like now, reading quietly without words.
People in the world think that the young Wu Guai is childhood sweetheart. In fact, they know that it is not correct. The reason why Wu Guai is because they are very clear about each other and what they are thinking in their hearts.
I don’t know how long it took, but Xu Yourong stood up and said, “Senior Brother, I’ll leave first and I’ll see you tomorrow.”
Akiyama-kun turned his gaze away from the books and looked at her, but he did not say he was careful on the road like he did the nights a few days ago, like he did in previous years.
These were the most pleasant and peaceful nights he had in years.
Because he could look at her quietly, whether it was his slightly blinking eyelashes, his fingers turning the pages of the book, and his slightly raised lines on the corners of his lips.
There is no need to read it all the time, just when you are tired of reading the book, you will look up at random and then sit there, and he will feel at ease and then be happy.
He really wanted more nights like this, so he wanted to say a few more words.
"Because of the Uncle Master's affairs, I, Lishan Jian Sect, owed him a huge favor. No matter what grudges the two sides had in the past, now we can only owe him." Qiushan Jun looked at her and said, "But this kind of thing has never had anything to do with favors. What I want to say is that he is very outstanding and worthy of you. He is definitely not as naughty as you said when you were a child, nor as unbearable as you mentioned in your letter last year. So what do you think about this marriage now?"
The person mentioned in this passage is naturally Chen Changsheng.
Akiyama's tone was very calm, open and sincere.
Xu Yourong thought about it and said, "After a while, I will go back to Kyoto to break the engagement."
"Disconnect directly..." Akiyama-kun said seriously: "It's a bit unfair to Chen Changsheng. People's words are terrifying. What you did in Kyoto last year is almost humiliating."
Xu Yourong looked at his eyes and said calmly: "But if you fulfill your engagement, it will be unfair to me."
The marriage with Chen Changsheng was decided by her grandfather, and no one had ever asked her for any advice.
Akiyama-kun was silent for a while and said, "Sorry."
The apology here refers to the fact that the Southern Mission went to Kyoto to propose marriage last year. No one asked Xu Yourong's opinion at that time.
Xu Yourong smiled and said nothing. She knew Qiushanjun's character well and believed that that matter had nothing to do with him. At that time, she was sent to the South China Sea by the elders of the master to recuperate. Qiushanjun was competing with the young powerful demons for the key to Zhouyuan...
Thinking of Zhou Yuan, there was a hint of sadness in her eyes like autumn water.
In Zhouling, he said that he had an engagement, but he would terminate the engagement.
She also told him that she had a engagement, but she would never marry that person.
Why did there be such a conversation? Of course, it was because he wanted to marry her, and she also wanted to marry him. Although he didn't say that although he was dead, how could he deny it and how could he forget it?
Yes, so she wants to go back to Kyoto to break the engagement. Whether Chen Changsheng is good or bad, that is not important, because he cannot be him.
"Junior sister, what's wrong with you?"
Akiyama-kun could sense her most subtle changes in her mind, because over the years, his mind had been on her, and he could feel her sadness and couldn't help but feel a little worried.
"Nothing..." Xu Yourong looked at Qiushanjun's eyes and suddenly felt that this matter should not be hidden from him. After a brief pause, he said, "Senior Brother, there is something you don't know. The reason why I insisted on breaking the engagement is because I have someone I like."
The cave suddenly became very quiet, even quieter than when the two of them were reading books before.
Akiyama-kun suddenly laughed and said, "I think that person is definitely not me."
Xu Yourong smiled, and then briefly explained what he encountered in Zhouyuan, mainly talking about the disciple of the Secret Sect named Xu Sheng.
Akiyama Jun smiled and said after a long time of silence, "Junior sister, he should be dead."
Xu Yourong said calmly: "I know."
Akiyama-kun looked at her, a little worried.
Walking out of the cave and coming to the cliff, the pine waves were brought up by the night wind, and it seemed like a silver sea under the stars.
Xu Yourong looked at the young man dressed as a scholar on the cliff and said, "Second Brother."
Gou Hanshi left Tianshuling early because he learned the news of leaving the mountain and arrived earlier than her.
He turned around and looked at Xu Yourong, trying to say something, but finally just sighed.
To him, Xu Yourong is the junior sister and Akiyama-kun is the senior brother. He knows the most about the matter between the two, and he also knows many things in Kyoto.
Below the pine waves like silver sea was an extremely steep cliff, and a shrill howling suddenly came from the cliff.
Komatsu Palace and the two elders of the Precepts Hall are now imprisoned on the cliff of Lishan. The two elders of the Precepts Hall have not healed. Komatsu Palace's fate is even more miserable. Su Li ordered both arms to be cut off.
As for the elder of the Changsheng Sect who intends to re-establish authority while Su Li is out of his power, Su Li has directly destroyed his cultivation. Li Shan’s uncle acts, and he is indeed cold-blooded and stingy.
Su Li is now recuperating in the back mountain, and Xu Yourong is also going there because her teacher, the Saint of the South, is also there. After the storm in Xunyang City, the entire mountain, the entire Tiannan, and the entire continent realized that the Saint and Su Li had such a deep friendship. It was Xu Yourong that this was the first time he had heard of this.
"I won't say anything else, but if you insist on going back to Kyoto to break the engagement, I hope you can take care of Chen Changsheng's face as much as possible." Gou Hanshi looked at her and said,
Xu Yourong was slightly strange. After so many things, especially after Chen Changsheng and Su Li's magnificent Nangui, she had already had many questions about what Shuang'er and Mo Yu said in her letters, and she would not despise Chen Changsheng as before, but she still did not expect that Gou Hanshi would take the initiative to speak for Chen Changsheng.
"What kind of person is Chen Changsheng...?"
Hearing her question, Gou Hanshi thought seriously for a long time, and then came to a conclusion: "He is a real person."
Neither Xu Yourong knew that on the way back south, Su Li had also commented on Chen Changsheng like this.
"Yeah?"
Xu Yourong believed in Gou Hanshi's judgment on people very much, and couldn't help but feel a little dazed. She had forgotten a lot of things when she was a child, and she gradually remembered some of them since Chen Changsheng entered Beijing, but...
Forget it, or there are really some misunderstandings, but it has nothing to do with her.
She said goodbye to Gou Hanshi and walked along the mountain road by the pine forest to the back mountain.
Gou Hanshi suddenly remembered something and said, "Junior sister, Chen Changsheng..."
Xu Yourong turned around and looked at him.
