Both worlds are like dreams

Wei Yunzhou and Rong Yu stood aside, with their heads bowed and no words spoken.

Xue Huang looked at Mr. Guigu's stern face and said, "Grandpa, it's been so long since we last met, don't you miss me at all?"

"Do you still have me as your grandpa in your heart?"

"Of course."

Mr. Guigu sneered, "You didn't even tell me about such an important event as getting married. A grandfather like me is no better than a passerby, right?"

Xue Huang felt guilty, "Tell you, will you agree to my marriage?"

"You know I don't agree, and you still dare to marry me?"

"Grandpa, I was indeed wrong in this matter, but there are reasons for it. Please listen to me patiently and tell me the whole story."

"You don't need to say anything. I know why you married him. It's my fault that I didn't let you out of the valley. That's why I allowed you to do such audacious things."

"What?" Xue Huang was stunned.

"Although I have been away from the world for so many years, I am not blind or deaf. Why did you get involved?" Mr. Guigu sighed, "It's time and fate."

Xue Huang remained silent.

"But I just want to tell you now, if you regret it, it's not too late. Grandpa will take you away from here even if it costs his life. Guigu will always be your home."

Xue Huang's eyes were blurred with tears, and she was deeply moved. Mr. Guigu had always been the one who loved her the most, but she had only cared about playing for the past three years, leaving him alone in the valley.

Seeing her crying, Mr. Guigu could no longer keep a straight face.

"Okay, stop crying and answer me."

"Grandpa, I can't turn back." Xue Huang said slowly. If she had never known her identity, she might have been able to be willful once, but now that she knew, she could never let go of the blood debt.

"Girl," Mr. Guigu's eyes showed his heartache and reluctance for her, "Stay, you may never be able to go back."

"I know." Xue Huang's eyes were extremely firm.

Mr. Guigu sighed, "Forget it, you have finally taken the same path as your second uncle. Since you have taken this path, then keep going and return alive."

"Grandpa, don't worry. The identity of Princess Dongchu given to me by Junior Uncle is my most powerful amulet. Who dares to bully me?"

Mr. Guigu looked at the scar on her neck, and lifted her sleeve, revealing another scar. "Even after this, you still think no one dares to bully you?"

"There are always people who don't know how to live or die and insist on learning the Seven Killing Swordsmanship of our Guigu Sect. But don't worry, Grandpa, I definitely didn't tarnish the reputation of the Guigu Sect." Xue Huang said with a smile. "I beat the provocative person to the ground."

Mr. Guigu's expression softened a lot, and he looked at Wei Yunzhou and Rong Yu, "Sit down, everyone."

Xue Huang looked at Wei Yunzhou's pale face, turned her head and asked, "Grandpa, my second uncle's injury wasn't caused by you, was it?"

Mr. Guigu glared at her and Wei Yunzhou, "I want to beat him up, and I want to beat you up too, to see if you dare to act on your own and do whatever you want."

Xue Huang knew that this was a sign that he was beginning to lose his temper, so she became even more unscrupulous and directly reached out to touch Mr. Guigu's beard, "Grandpa, your beard is getting longer and longer."

Mr. Guigu seemed to be afraid that she would pull it, so he quickly slapped her hand away and said, "It's not easy for me to keep it."

"Grandpa is not angry anymore?"

"Who said that?"

Xue Huang smiled and said, "Then I'll tell you something happy. My aunt is pregnant and is living a very happy life now. She even said that she will find a chance to come back to see you in the future."

Mr. Guigu stroked his beard and said, "I don't need her to see me. I wasn't invited to the wedding."

Xue Huang raised her eyebrows, "My junior uncle married a beautiful girl, and he was so happy that he almost lost his mind."

"You must be lost, otherwise why don't you send an invitation to Guigu?"

Xue Huang couldn't get over the hurdle of not inviting him to the wedding, so she had to ask Rong Yu for help.

Rong Yu understood and said, "Master, didn't you say you wanted to drink the wine that Snow Phoenix brewed?"

Mr. Guigu glanced at her and said, "You still have the mood to do these things."

"I'm in charge of writing the recipe, and the wine is made at my uncle's tavern." Xue Huang said with a smile. "I remember a lot of jars were sent over before, Grandpa, shall we go and try some?"

"Don't think a few jars of wine can make me happy."

"Then I'll cook and prepare your favorite hot pot for grandpa."

When it comes to hotpot, Mr. Guigu's eyes light up a little, "Why don't you go quickly?"

Xue Huang looked at Rong Yu, "Uncle, please help me."

Rong Yu nodded and left with Xue Huang.

Only Wei Yunzhou and Mr. Guigu were left in the room.

After a moment of silence, Mr. Guigu spoke up, "You have had a very difficult time these years, and I understand that."

"I am a disciple who is ashamed of Master's teachings."

"Still can't let go?"

"Disciple can't let go."

"Deep hatred and bloody seas cannot be forgotten, but the past cannot be recalled. The passage of time and the change of dynasties are inevitable in history."

"Disciple understands that Beiyuan is dead. Disciple has never thought of restoring the country. I only hope that the injustice can be redressed and the dead souls can rest in peace."

"Since you understand, I will not say any more. As for Xue Huang, her fate is like this and it is hard to go against the will of heaven. I just hope that she can be safe."

"Master, I will definitely protect her."

Xue Huang and Rong Yu quickly prepared a table full of food, then chose a good place to enjoy the snow, brought over a dozen jars of good wine, and then invited Mr. Guigu to take a seat.

"Grandpa, do you want to try this wine and see if it tastes good?"

Nowadays, the wine in the tavern has been improved using Xue Huang's previous method of refining alcohol. The strength of the wine has been greatly improved. For a wine lover like Mr. Guigu, this is a great blessing.

Sure enough, after taking a sip, Mr. Guigu was very satisfied. "It tastes average, but it is indeed a good wine."

Xuehuang then poured him some more wine and told him many happy stories about her travels in the martial arts world, which finally made him happy.

Rong Yu and Wei Yunzhou also relaxed. Such a scene had not happened for many years.

The snow falls earlier in Guigu than in other places, and the snow scenery is also unique. After practicing sword, you can drink tea and brew wine, and appreciate the falling snow, which is a unique artistic conception.

Xue Huang was still young at that time, and whenever it snowed, she would drag Rong Yu and Wei Yunzhou to make snowmen. As they built snowmen, they started to have snowball fights.

It was originally just a joke, but as the fight went on it turned into a competition, and then there was chaos again.

Mr. Guigu often scolded, "You naughty girl, if you don't behave yourself, don't even think about drinking tea."

Later, Hua Yu became a disciple. She could play the piano and paint. Snow fell all over the sky, the piano sounded melodiously, and the scenery of Guigu was as beautiful as a painting.

Influenced by him, Xuehuang has also developed some of the gentle and graceful appearance of a girl.

Unfortunately, it didn't last long. Su Linjin entered the valley, and Guigu became chaotic again.

The two of them were jumping up and down all day long, never quiet for a moment. What started as a snowball fight turned into a competition, and finally turned into a group fight, and even the house was demolished.

Mr. Guiguzi was so angry that his beard was crooked, and he expressed his deep regret for how difficult it was to enjoy the snow scenery.

Xue Huang also drank several cups. She also recalled the carefree days in Guigu. But now, looking at the snow, she no longer had the heart to act silly.

She has grown up and is no longer a child. Those times can never be returned.

Xuehuang was a little drunk and was lying on Mr. Guigu's knees coquettishly. When she was a child, she loved to take a nap beside him like this.

"Grandpa, I missed you so much! I'm so happy to see you."

Mr. Guigu had lost his temper a long time ago, and he was angry only because he felt sorry for her. Now seeing her acting like a spoiled child, he could not resist. His face was filled with a kind smile like a flower, which made Wei Yunzhou opposite him feel uncomfortable.

After not seeing each other for a few years, he didn't expect that the serious and solemn master in his memory had become like this.

"Grandpa misses you too."

"Then why were you so fierce just now?"

"You are my precious granddaughter who I raised with my own hands. How can I not be angry when a good cabbage is eaten by a pig?"

Xue Huang was drowsy and only heard the first few words. She immediately retorted, "You're talking nonsense. I was raised by an uncle. You never took care of me."

"Little girl, you must have drunk too much. If you keep talking nonsense, I will beat you up."

"Whatever. You can't bear to leave anyway." Xuehuang buried her head and rubbed it. "Grandpa, I really... really... miss you." As she spoke, tears rolled down her eyes.

But no one knows whether she did it intentionally or unintentionally, and no one saw the tears in the corners of her eyes.

When Mr. Guigu saw that she didn't move for a long time, he knew that she was asleep.

He sighed, "This girl, I watched her grow up, can't I see that she is feeling wronged? And she pretends to be happy to deceive me."

Rong Yu said, "Xue Huang is very filial, Master should help her."

"This girl has really grown up."

Rong Yu and Wei Yunzhou didn't say anything. They both understood that Xue Huang's growth came at the cost of loss.
