After crossing, I surrounded the capital from the countryside

The night was falling, the stars were twinkling, the hall of Xiaoyao Sect was brightly lit and filled with laughter.

Xu Qingyun's welcoming banquet was going on lively. Xu Qingyun was drinking and looked at Xu Qingqing with a serious expression. "Qingqing, you don't know that the court's response this time was still very quick!" His voice was gentle and powerful, with a bit of emotion. "This journey is long and difficult. If it weren't for the help of the Shadow Pavilion, I'm afraid I would have been imprisoned. Here, I want to especially thank the brothers of the Shadow Pavilion. They worked in the dark and blocked a lot of pursuit by the court for me, allowing me to escape with so many supplies."

At this point, Xu Qingyun's eyes flashed with emotion, and he continued: "And when I traveled to the northern border, I got help from those officials who kept helping me cover my tracks..."

"Qingqing, you really made some good moves back then!"

Xu Qingqing heard this and felt that there was nothing to be proud of. She just said calmly: "It's just that those who are righteous will have many supporters, while those who are unrighteous will have few supporters."

Hearing this, Xu Qingyun savored the words carefully and nodded: "Well, not bad, very insightful!"

Upon hearing this, Lin Jinchu, who was standing by, looked at Xu Qingqing with admiration, thinking that Xu Qingyun's sister was worthy of being the one who could establish the Xiaoyao Sect, a paradise.

He is not lacking in intelligence and means, and he has a very clear understanding of things. He is a very powerful person.

Feeling Lin Jinchu's gaze, Xu Qingqing raised her glass and toasted Lin Jinchu.

Lin Jinchu raised the corner of his mouth and responded with a glass of wine.

Seeing this, Xu Qingyun's gaze involuntarily turned to Lin Jinchu, and his eyes were full of tenderness when he looked at her.

He smiled and turned to Xu Qingqing and said, "Qingqing, do you know how I met Jinchu?"

Xu Qingqing heard this, a hint of curiosity and expectation flashed in her eyes, and she quickly moved closer, listening carefully to her brother's words, "How did you know each other?"

"It was a stormy night... During the days of recuperation, we had a great time talking about everything from poetry and songs to grudges in the martial arts world. I found that she was not only a martial arts expert, but also had a kind and tenacious heart..." When Xu Qingyun said this, his face flushed, obviously remembering the good times he had spent with Lin Jinchu.

After listening to her brother's story, Xu Qingqing couldn't help but sigh in her heart, her two brothers, the eldest brother is a hero who saves the beauty, and the second brother is a beauty who saves the hero, how can they not be a family.

This thought went through her mind for a while. She took Xu Qingyun's hand and said with a smile, "Brother is so lucky to meet a woman like Sister Lin. I hope you can grow old together in harmony in the future."

Hearing this, Xu Qingyun couldn't control the smile on his face. He gently patted the back of Xu Qingqing's hand and said, "Qingqing, don't worry. Brother will definitely cherish this fate and treat her well."

After saying that, he turned to look at Lin Jinchu with gentle eyes, and reached out to hold Lin Jinchu's hand under the table.

Lin Jinchu was not shy either. When she felt Xu Qingyun's hand, she immediately shook it back.

The atmosphere between the two people looking at each other made Xu Qingqing exclaim that she was full.

Looking at the two people who were so happy and harmonious, Xu Qingqing was just about to turn around and joke with He Anran, when she saw He Anran and Wang Dahu holding hands tightly, with affectionate looks in their eyes.

Xu Qingqing:……? ? ?

Xu Qingqing just felt that she seemed out of place here. Thinking of Xiao Yuheng who was still lying in bed recovering from his injuries, she missed him very much at this moment.

Looking here and there, Xu Qingqing smacked her lips and secretly left.

Whoever wants to eat the bitter dog food can eat it, but she won’t eat it anymore.

When they came to their senses, Xu Qingqing had already left. Xu Qingyun was a little confused and asked, "Where is Qingqing?"

He Anran looked left and right, but didn't see anyone: "Maybe he went to rest."

"Okay, it seems Qingqing's alcohol tolerance is average. Hahahaha"

However, Lin Jinchu looked at the two people opposite him, as if he had noticed something, and the smile on his face became brighter.

……

"You don't know how much they have gone too far!" Xu Qingqing walked into Xiao Yuheng's room angrily, complaining.

Xiao Yuheng was half lying on the bed, reading a book in his hands.

Seeing Xu Qingqing approaching, she kept talking and for a moment she had no idea what she was saying.

"What's wrong?" Xiao Yuheng put down the book in his hand and looked up at Xu Qingqing.

Xu Qingqing sat down on the edge of Xiao Yuheng's bed and slowly told him what had just happened: "Do you think they are going too far?"

Xiao Yuheng burst out laughing: "I think it's my fault. I should have gone too, so you don't have to envy others for being in pairs."

Hearing Xiao Yuheng's joke, Xu Qingqing stopped talking, her cheeks flushed, and she looked at Xiao Yuheng with embarrassment and reproach: "What nonsense are you talking about."

Before Xu Qingqing could finish the rest of the words, they were swallowed up by Xiao Yuheng's teasing eyes.

Xiao Yuheng suddenly opened his arms and said with a smile: "Come on, Qingqing sister, just let your brother hug you, I guarantee that your mood will improve immediately!"

Xu Qingqing smiled and obediently nestled into Xiao Yuheng's arms, but she didn't lean too close. After all, Xiao Yuheng was still injured, so Xu Qingqing was also paying extra attention.

Leaning on Xiao Yuheng's solid chest and feeling the rhythm of his heartbeat, that was a kind of strength that made her feel at ease.

The surroundings were quiet and silent, with only the occasional chirping of insects and the sound of wind coming from afar.

Xu Qingqing took a deep breath, then slowly exhaled, with a hint of determination in her voice: "Yuheng, the time has come, we should start."

Xiao Yuheng tightened his arms slightly, and his chin gently rubbed against Xu Qingqing's head. His deep and powerful voice echoed in the air: "I know, Qingqing. I'm ready. Both my body and mind are ready for everything."

There was no surprise or retreat on Xiao Yuheng's face, but a smile of relief and determination. He lowered his head and looked at Xu Qingqing gently and firmly, his eyes full of infinite trust in her, as if as long as she was there, there would be no difficulties that could not be overcome.

Xu Qingqing raised her head and looked at him, her eyes sparkling. "Maybe it sounds a bit high-sounding, but what I want to say is that what we have to do is not only for ourselves, but also for those suffering people. I want to bring them hope, even if it's just a seed."

Xiao Yuheng nodded, his voice deep and powerful: "I understand. You can do what you want to do without worry. Even if there is a cliff ahead, I will follow you closely. Don't think of leaving me again..."

"Qingqing, from the moment I met you, I knew that my fate was closely linked to yours. No matter if it meant climbing a mountain of swords or diving into a sea of ​​fire, I would follow you and support you without hesitation. I am willing to use my life to protect everything you want to protect."
