Time travel: Are you as professional as him in eating dog food?

The wind made the window paper rustle. A slight breeze came in, making the candlelight, which was not very bright to begin with, flicker faintly, as if it was about to go out.

Qiuyu saw the candlelight flickering so frequently, so she quickly covered the candle with her hand and called Qiuyu to go to the window over there to see if it was open.

When the candlelight stopped flickering, the man sitting in the first seat glanced at the boy kneeling on the ground and said calmly:

"You can talk to him yourself, remember to be brief and concise."

"Yes"

The young man kneeling on the ground raised his head and looked at the man in red sitting beside him, telling him the story of himself and Yingniang.

"So the two of us ended up like this, never seeing each other in life or death. I thought they would treat my old mother well, but...it turned out like this...tsk tsk!"

The people kneeling on the ground were complaining about their miserable experiences with tears in their voices. Some even shed a few tears when they were moved to prove their miserable experiences.

The man in red sitting next to the man glanced at Gu Yanming, propped up his chin with one hand, and half-covered his face with the hand holding the bone fan. His charming eyes revealed a hint of sadness, and the half-covered face tilted slightly towards the man.

"He is so miserable, brother, otherwise..."

"Impossible... Don't think I don't know what you want to do."

The man's cold tone revealed a calmness that showed he had seen through everything. Although he didn't look at the man in red, he seemed to see through his thoughts and firmly rejected him.

"So you want them to be reduced to ashes?"

The man in red put away his folding fan with a snap. The expression behind the fan did not seem to be as sad as his eyes had shown before. Instead, he showed a meaningful smile, as if it was expected.

"That's their fate. It's better than being your puppet forever."

After the man finished speaking, he no longer looked at the man in red, but instead cast his gaze towards the boy on the ground.

"Hey~ What, is being my puppet so unbearable? At least there's still something to think about, and I~ Among the three peaks of our Qingyun Immortal Sect, my Zixiao Peak is the best, except for the Xianyun Peak of my senior brother. Stop belittling me in front of outsiders."

The man in red straightened his clothes, pulled up his sleeves, and looked at the man with disdain.

The man felt his gaze, but did not care much. He just glanced at the eager eyes of the young man on the ground and raised his thin lips slightly. "There is no room for negotiation on this matter. You...her, I will always give them an explanation. When the time comes...I will let you die together."

The man temporarily shut up and looked at the people on the ground with a gloomy look. The meaning of his eyes was not to negotiate at all, but to give them a death sentence.

"Brother, why are you still so unsatisfactory? Girls won't like you like this."

The man in red looked at his cold but beautiful face and couldn't help but sigh.

"I never care about this. Only people like you care about it."

The man glanced at the man in red who was laughing at the joke, and the coldness in his eyes shot towards the man in red.

The man in red saw his senior brother looking at him unkindly. In this situation, if he continued to laugh at the joke, he would be asking for trouble. So he gently covered his mouth, smiled awkwardly, and turned to look at the boy on the ground with helplessness on his face.

The man on the ground saw this and knew that there was no hope for him to say anything, so he wiped the tears from his eyes, bowed to the two men, and kowtowed to the ground.

"I would like to thank Master Tianshi for his protection, but as he said, it is the best outcome for her and I to die together. I am already very grateful. Thank you, Master Tianshi."

He kowtowed again, and the head that was originally lowered remained motionless.

"you....."

Just as the man in red was about to reach out his hand, he saw the man who had knocked his head to the ground suddenly raise his head and shout at the man in the lead with an incredulous look on his face: "Are you so hard-hearted? They are already so pitiful, and you just..."

"Impossible. This matter started because of them, and it must end because of them. I have to give an explanation to Chongbo Mansion and the people of this state."

The man raised his eyes calmly and looked at the boy without any emotion.

"But he is innocent, and so is Yingniang. They were both used by bad people. And they are such kind people who love each other and have to take responsibility, while the culprit like Chongbohou gets to enjoy peace. This is unfair."

Wen Baixu was so excited that he complained loudly, thinking that he would be more confident if he spoke louder.

"What do you want me to do?"

The man didn't say anything extra, and asked him in a gentle tone

Wen Baixu was stunned when he heard this. He felt that shouting loudly would be useful. He was ready to make another effort to persuade him. Although this had nothing to do with his own mission, he just felt that good people should not end up like this. Before he opened his mouth, he heard the red-clothed man's voice of blame.

"You're being too... too hypocritical. You're touching me. It's like...what's the word for that?"

The man in red lowered his head in thought for a moment, then suddenly stretched out his hand and said, "That's right, just like a toy that you can play with at will, treat him softly and speak to him as if he were a family member. Hey, who is your closest junior fellow apprentice after all?"

After saying that, she looked in the direction of the man with a wronged look on her face.

"Ok?"

A sharp look glared at him, as if to say, "If you dare to come close, I will peel off your skin."

The man in red immediately stopped moving his body when he saw this. He looked like he was about to cry, and his seductive eyes looked at the boy.

The young man felt a hint of extremely oppressive gaze, and quickly stood up and walked towards the man. "We can first collect evidence, report their crimes to the court, and bring him to justice."

"What if the court doesn't care?"

The man continued to ask questions

"Then...Aren't you a favorite of the Emperor? Your words still carry some weight."

After saying that, he patted the man's shoulders like a dog.

"So what do you think we should do with them? Should we let them go?"

"This...if it's possible, can you..." The young man looked at him cautiously.

"cannot"

This time the man did not ask any more questions but answered him decisively.

But this time, because it was too fast, everyone could hear the coldness in his words.

"Then can't you make an exception for them? There are always..." The boy smiled awkwardly, and just as he was about to continue, he heard the man's cold voice with a hint of mockery.

"Make an exception? Do they deserve it, or do you? I serve the emperor of this dynasty, who is appointed by heaven. They have already been tainted by karma, so how can you make an exception just because you say so?"

"But they are also the emperor's subjects, living under the rule of heaven. Without them, he will be left alone. I don't think he can still be the emperor. And what's unfair is unfair. If he can't even take care of this, I won't obey him..."

"A Xu"

Qiu Yu interrupted immediately, looked around, and nervously looked at the boy.

"Ha~ That's great, I didn't know you were so courageous."

As he spoke, he grabbed his hand, pulled him in front of him, pinched his chin, stood up and looked down at him.

"You don't accept? Who cares about you? I'm telling you right now, they will be reduced to ashes. This is the will of heaven. You and I are both protected by heaven, so how can we not obey?"

"you....."

Because his chin was pinched, the boy could only utter monosyllables.

"Me? Why? I'm just putting an end to everything. Who cares if you obey or not?"

After saying that, he shook his chin away

"You are just defending those two beasts, without even a basic understanding of right and wrong? Is this what you call officials protecting each other? Is this what heaven says? I don't accept it."

The boy rubbed his chin, his eyes revealing despair and disbelief.

"Humph! Hahahahahahaha...you are...so stupid."

The man's originally cold tone suddenly turned into a laugh, followed by a mocking

"Am I stupid? I am stupid, but I know what is right and wrong, what should be done and what should not be done. At least I will not go along with them."

The boy stiffened his neck and raised his little head to look at him.

"Go along with the crowd? Does it matter? In my opinion, it doesn't matter at all..." As he spoke, the man who had turned around turned back, walked up to the boy and pinched his cheek

"For me, what is fair or not is not important at all. They are already dead, so they should just do their duty. But look at what they did. The whole prefecture and the whole state were sealed off because of her, and she was the one who killed several people. Aren't those people the subjects of the emperor?"

"But...she...is a good person who is being threatened."

"Good person? To you, she is a good person, but in my eyes, she is just a stupid good person, a good person who was used even when she died."

Wen Baixu struggled in anger, but couldn't break free from the man's hand.

"What? Am I wrong? You can sympathize with some things, but not everything. I don't have the time or the energy. When you don't have the ability to take care of it, please don't sympathize with anyone, because you can't even protect yourself, how can you care about others? I thought you would think about it in your mind when you paused before, but now it seems that you are so disappointing and stupid."

After saying that, she pulled her hand back and looked at him with cold eyes. The disappointment in her eyes was so obvious, but...

The man said nothing more, just opened the door and walked out. The man in red who was watching the scene on the side snapped the fan in his hand shut, patted his shoulder with his hand, gave him a comforting look, and hurried out to catch up with his senior brother.

The young man lowered his eyes slightly, revealing a sad mood. Qiuyu, who was standing beside him, was about to say something when she saw her sister looking at her. She then walked aside in dismay and stopped talking. Qiuyu stepped forward, said nothing, squeezed his arm, and quietly accompanied him.

The door was tightly shut, blocking the night and the howling wind outside. Snowflakes were falling. A crow shook its neck gently, and its blood-red eyes rolled around. There was a fluttering sound, the sound of its wings. After a moment, a black feather floated in the wind and spun until it landed on a patch of white snow.
