Dusk Returns to the Ruined Building

The sky is high and far with light clouds, the moon is waning, and the lonely wild goose is flying!

On a low cliff, there were two people, one looking into the distance, and the other sitting on a boulder, looking at the fireworks town under the night sky. Under the cliff, there was a carriage parked, and under the shadow of a tree next to the carriage was a person leaning. They were Murong Ruoxi and the other two who were rushing towards Yunquan Villa.

"Master, are you worried?"

Murong Ruoxi really called the painter "Master", even though he had not agreed yet!

The painter did not respond. After a long while, he sighed softly:

"I haven't been to Yunquan Villa for nearly a hundred years. I never thought that one day I would go there again because of someone!"

"Master, there is no need for us to go to Yunquan Villa. You cannot paint my beauty because my beauty belongs only to one person, not to all living beings!"

The painter is still looking into the distance!

"If that person is gone one day, won't your beauty belong to the masses?"

Murong Ruoxi was still looking at the fireworks town!

"If he's gone, will I still be here? Will my beauty still have meaning?"

The painter did not respond for a long time.

"I once lived for only one person, but that person did not exist, or he was never there from the beginning to the end, but I lived for him for hundreds of years. When I felt the regret and powerlessness of the passing of time, I realized that I should belong to the common people, or I should live for myself!"

Murong Ruoxi was also silent for a long time, and responded:

"Master, that person must not be the one you love!"

"Love? I don't know this word. God took pity on me and gave me the opportunity to learn this word, but God only taught me half of it!"

Murong Ruoxi pondered for a long time, stood up, came to the painter, and asked:

"Master, that person is related to Yunquan Villa, right?"

The painter was shocked for a long time, then pointed to the distance and said softly:

"That's Yunquan Villa!"

Murong Ruoxi looked in the direction the painter pointed and saw a lone goose circling above a solitary peak!

"Master, let's hurry up, I still have to go to Jianying City!"

After Murong Ruoxi finished speaking, she turned around and walked down the cliff.

The painter looked at the lone goose on the top of the lonely peak and said to himself:

"I am back!"

Yunquan Villa, this is a place that exists but is unknown to the world.

There may have been records of this place in the past, but it was not called Yunquan Villa, but Wengqing Villa.

There is probably only one person in this world who knows Yunquan Villa, and that is the painter, because this is the name he gave it himself and it is only remembered in his own heart.

Wengqing Villa is indeed on the top of the solitary peak, but people cannot see it or find it because there are formations around it.

Luo Ke traveled all night, and the painter did not sleep all night. She didn't know whether he was happy or sad. Anyway, Murong Ruoxi felt that the painter had love in his heart, but as for what kind of love it was, she didn't know!

Murong Ruoxi also did not sleep all night. She read books all night. She seemed to understand why the old beggar was called the wine saint by the world. The old beggar was passionate but heartless, or it was because of the wine. The word "drunk" was the most true portrayal of the old beggar's life!

How can a person who lives in a drunken dream have feelings?

Clouds emerge from the misty mountains, and the sky is full of colorful clouds.

When the sun was rising, Murong Ruoxi and the other two arrived at the foot of the solitary peak.

Luo Ke carried all the painting tools and followed Murong Ruoxi and the other person, and the three of them climbed the lonely peak together.

Unfortunately, the three of them were stopped not long after they climbed!

Murong Ruoxi looked at the group of black-turbaned masked men who stopped them. She smiled and said helplessly:

"Master, I, I haven't even started yet, and I'm about to cause you trouble!"

Murong Ruoxi was really speechless. Of course, she didn't expect that the people from the Shadow Hall would chase her here. Even she herself didn't know she would come here. This could only mean one thing, that the Shadow Hall had been following her all the way, but she really didn't feel any clues!

The painter also looked at the masked man in the black scarf in front of him and said to himself:

"They have also come to Yingzhou. Who are they coming for?"

After saying that, he turned to look at Murong Ruoxi and asked softly:

"The people from Shadow Hall are also chasing you?"

Murong Ruoxi smiled helplessly!

"Yes, how about you help me, Master?"

The painter also laughed!

"You devil girl!"

The painter shook his head, took out the storage bag from his waist, and reached out to take out a token!

Not only was the masked man in black scarf shocked, but Murong Ruoxi was even more shocked!

She had seen this token before. In the ancient city in the vast desert, it was this token that helped them out of the predicament, and everyone in the Shadow Hall withdrew from the ancient city.

Murong Ruoxi didn't expect that the painter actually had this token of the Shadow Hall!

When the people in the Shadow Hall saw the token, they made way for it, but someone went ahead, probably to deliver a message!

While walking up the mountain, Murong Ruoxi hesitated for a long time, and finally couldn't help asking:

"Master, how come you have the Shadow Hall token?"

"Here you go. This is called the Shadow Order! It can control all the power of the Shadow Hall. However, the Shadow Order does not actually belong to the Shadow Hall!"

Murong Ruoxi stared blankly at the Shadow Order in her hand!

"Here, this, this, Master, give it to me now?"

Murong Ruoxi was so surprised that she stuttered!

"With it, the people from the Shadow Hall won't dare to kill you anymore, and you can let the Shadow Hall kill people for you!"

Suddenly, a voice came from the mountain!

"Is it appropriate for you to give her the Shadow Order?"

On a cliff at the top of the solitary peak, there stood a group of people from the Shadow Hall. The leader was actually the head of the Shadow Hall, Helian Xiaoyue. Behind him were several hall masters, including someone Murong Ruoxi had seen before, the Fifth Hall Master who had chased her in the vast desert. At this moment, the Fifth Hall Master was quite shocked that Mur Ruoxi was holding the Shadow Order in her hand!

The person who asked the question just now was Helian Xiaoyue, the head of the Shadow Hall.

"It's been many years since we last met. Have you forgotten your identity? You've been in charge of the Shadow Hall for too long. Are you used to speaking in a bossy manner?"

The painter was still walking upwards. Murong Ruoxi was in a daze at the moment, following him stupidly. She was not only shocked, but she was terrified!

On the top of the solitary peak, everyone from the Shadow Hall stood there together as if to welcome the painter.

The chief Helian Xiaoyue looked at the painter coldly and asked again:

"Is it appropriate for you to give her the Shadow Order?"

"She is my apprentice!"

The painter's answer made Helian Xiaoyue and Murong Ruoxi stunned.

However, Murong Ruoxi was very excited in her heart, not because of her identity and status as a painter, but because she could finally learn to paint. Then when she arrived at Jianying City, she could paint for the fool, and she could return to Youzhou without any regrets.

"She is the eldest daughter of the Murong family in Youzhou. Is her status appropriate?"

"This is my own business, it has nothing to do with you!"

The painter continued walking forward, not taking the people in the Shadow Hall seriously at all.

Of course Murong Ruoxi followed, but she was not as relaxed as the painter!

Where is Luo Ke? From the beginning to the end, he looked around as if he had not seen the Shadow Hall. He was looking for a place to paint, but there was no summer scenery on the top of this lonely peak!

"Stop, I can not interfere with your business, but she must hand over the Qiankun Jade Pendant!"

The painter really stopped and looked at the angry Helian Xiaoyue, and said with some regret:

"Your heart has never changed. I am not as good as you! There is no need to look for the Qiankun Jade Pendant anymore. It is a scam. Even with Ji Xuanfeng's talent, he cannot crack the secret of the Qiankun Jade Pendant. Why are you so persistent?"

"That's my business and has nothing to do with you!"

Helian Xiaoyue, the head of Shadow Hall, finally stood up for once!

"Back then, the Ji family gave the Qiankun Jade Pendant to the Youzhou Murong family as an engagement token. Now, has someone from the Ji family found you and told you that as long as you get the Qiankun Jade Pendant, the princess can be unsealed? Have you never thought that this is a conspiracy?"

"That's my business, it has nothing to do with you!"

The chief Helian Xiaoyue was looking at Murong Ruoxi at this moment!

The painter did not speak this time. After thinking for a long time, he suddenly said:

"Did the mistress reach some kind of agreement with Xuantian Pavilion?"

"Since you have left the Wengying team, you are no longer qualified to mention the mistress!"

At this time, Murong Ruoxi, who had been silent all the time, suddenly asked:

"Master, is the Qiankun Jade Pendant my engagement token?"
