Water Reflects Peach Blossoms

Chapter 209: Return from the Dream (46)

Here, Nanzhi came to the place where everyone was having dinner.

Zhuo Yichen peeled some roasted walnuts for her to eat, and Yinglei quickly peeled the peanuts.

Everyone was laughing and joking, and someone suggested that Zhuo Yichen dance with a sword to liven up the atmosphere, and the others immediately joined in the fun.

At first everyone thought that Zhuo Yichen was too shy to dance with a sword in public, but who knew that he stood up and called Zhu Yan to join him.

Zhuo Yichen stood on the water with a graceful figure, as graceful as a startled swan and a swimming dragon. His sword moves were sharp and gentle, and each move was natural and unexpected.

A square stage formed by flames illuminated the dark water surface. Zhu Yan's umbrella passed through the water, and the water droplets brought up stun his face. His moves coordinated with Zhuo Yichen, and he was not at a disadvantage at all.

On the shore, Yinglei was playing the waist drum and singing folk tunes loudly, while Baijiu was singing along, and the two of them were having fun.

Nanzhi took the fireworks and came over with Wen Xiao and Pei Sijing, holding the fireworks in both hands and watching the two people dancing with swords on the water with a smile.

After some fun, everyone gathered together to play games.

Nanzhi was a heavy drinker and felt dizzy after drinking two cups.

Wen Xiao said that ordinary games were too boring and were not as interesting and exciting as telling the truth.

Nanzhi's heart tightened and he sobered up instantly.

Sure enough, the next moment, the rotating wooden flute was aimed at Pei Sijing, and Wen Xiao immediately asked her if she was an undercover agent from Chongwu Camp.

In an instant, the atmosphere took a sharp turn for the worse and became tense and tense!

Pei Sijing denied it, but the finger grass in Wen Xiao's hand bent down.

The atmosphere was then drawn to the dangerous topic of who was the undercover agent.

At this moment, Zhu Yan spoke and explained to everyone that the grass on Wen Xiao's hand was bent because it was touched by dew and then condensed into ice by Zhuo Yichen, and it was not because Pei Sijing told a lie.

The rumor that the flatulence grass can distinguish the truth from falsehood in other people's words is just a rumor; it actually does not have such an effect.

Then all the members of the Monster Hunting Team proved that they were not undercover agents of the Monster Hunting Bureau.

When it was Nanzhi's turn, she said, "My father was framed by the Chongwu Camp. I have no ties with the Chongwu Camp."

This reason is very valid.

In the end, everyone's attention was focused on Bai Jiu, and he was the only one who had not yet proven his innocence.

Pei Sijing gave a verification method. Everyone in Chongwu Camp would have a tattoo on their wrist. As long as Bai Jiu lifted his sleeves and took a look, he could prove his innocence.

Bai Jiu was reluctant, but under Zhuo Yichen's impartiality, he finally had to lift up his sleeves. His wrists were white under his sleeves and had no tattoos.

The lively and happy celebration party ended in a bad mood. Everyone lost the mood to continue and went back to their rooms.

Nanzhi went to knock on Bai Jiu's door, wanting to comfort him.

"Sister Shen, weren't you sad when you were suspected?" Inside the room, Bai Jiu wrapped his arms around himself, feeling guilty and uneasy.

"I'm not angry." Nanzhi lowered her eyes, her voice gentle, "If it can reassure my companions, then proving my innocence is nothing."

Bai Jiu felt even more guilty, hugged his knees and said nothing.

He was waiting, waiting for the little brother Zhuo whom he admired the most.

……

The night breeze is blowing.

Nanzhi sat in the courtyard of the inn to sober up.

She wasn't much of a drinker and didn't usually drink, but the atmosphere tonight was so good that she couldn't help but have two drinks. She felt stuffy staying in the room and wanted to come out for some fresh air.

I also want to see the scenery outside.

The lanterns hanging everywhere were still shining beautifully. She saw Kongming lanterns rising in the sky, and tiny sparks rising towards the night sky, just like stars returning to their positions.

Looking at the sky, Nanzhi felt like someone was gently putting a thick piece of clothing on her body.

She turned her head and saw Zhu Yan's handsome face.

Putting his thick coat on Nanzhi, Zhu Yan sat beside her and said softly and caringly, "It's cold at night. Why don't you wear something thicker?"

Nanzhi curved her lips and said, "I've had a few drinks and I feel a little hot."

She showed him the Kongming lantern rising slowly into the sky.

Just now there were only a few, faint sparks, but now they are like three thousand bright lights gathered in the Milky Way, illuminating the entire night sky.

"Humans are always able to create beautiful things." Zhu Yan looked at the sky with a nostalgic look.

The closer he got to Kunlun Mountain, the more reluctant he was to die.

He is surrounded by Nanzhi, the demon-hunting team, and Grandpa Yingzhao on Kunlun Mountain. He still has a very deep attachment to this world.

I felt a sinking sensation on my arm.

Zhu Yan came back to his senses and looked at Nanzhi, who had a flushed face and was sleeping with her head resting on his arm.

He raised his hand to touch her jade-like cheek, but he held back. He was afraid that once he touched it, he would never be able to let it go. He would not let it go no matter what, even if the entire world and the wilderness were destroyed by the evil spirit.

This will not work.

Suppressing the desire in his heart, Zhu Yan raised his hand and pressed it on the hand that was about to touch Nanzhi. He pressed his hand down forcefully, his mind went blank and he couldn't even feel the pain.

It wasn't until his hands dropped unnaturally that he realized how much strength he had used.

……

Early the next morning, everyone packed up and prepared to head to Kunlun Mountain.

Since Sinan Water Town is at the foot of Kunlun Mountain, Yinglei did not use the Mountain and Sea Realm, and everyone climbed the mountain.

Kunlun Mountain is cold and covered with ice and snow all year round. Before climbing the mountain, Nanzhi put on his thickest clothes and also put on a thick cloak.

"This is our Kunlun Mountain Temple!"

"Everyone, please follow me closely."

Ying Lei excitedly ran to Nan Zhi and said to her, "Nan Zhi, let me tell you, there are many delicious fruits on Kunlun Mountain, and the snow scene is the most beautiful in the world! Wait a minute, I will introduce you to my grandfather. He is a very gentle grandfather. Although he sometimes beats me, don't worry! He is definitely the best grandfather in the world!"

As he said this, Yinglei smiled embarrassedly.

After seeing two people standing at the gate of the mountain temple, he happily ran up the steps and hugged one of the bearded and kind-looking old men.

After experiencing his grandson's enthusiasm and coquettishness, Ying Zhao asked Ying Lei to be more restrained in front of outsiders.

Ying Lei immediately introduced the Goddess Bai Ze to Ying Zhao.

Ying Zhao and the mountain god named Zhu Yin beside him saluted Wen Xiao, and were happy that the goddess Bai Ze had returned to her position, and that hope had come to the Great Wilderness.

Then, Ying Lei sheepishly introduced Nanzhi to Ying Zhao: "Grandpa, let me introduce you, this is Shen Nanzhi, my...um, friend! She's so nice to me! She's tied for first place with Grandpa and is so nice to me!"

Noticing his grandson's undisguised affection, Ying Zhao smiled kindly at Nan Zhi, "Miss Shen, thank you for taking care of my useless grandson. He's been energetic since he was little, but he's also very kind-hearted. During your time in Kunlun Mountain, let him take you to see more of the beautiful scenery there. Show your hospitality."

Nanzhi bowed and said with a smile, "Thank you, Master Yingzhao."

Then, Ying Zhao looked at Zhu Yan, who was standing aside with a well-behaved look on his face and had not spoken a word from beginning to end.

The kind and satisfied smile on his face when facing Nanzhi disappeared, and he took out a stick from his sleeve.

Zhu Yan was hit and looked at Ying Zhao in disbelief, begging for mercy in a low voice: "Don't... don't hit me like this in front of everyone, don't I have any dignity?"

As he spoke, he pointed in the direction of the south branch with his finger hidden in his sleeve. Taking advantage of the fact that the south branch was blocked by Ying Zhao and could not be seen, he clasped his hands together and said to Ying Zhao: Please, please.

Yingzhao: "..."

Ying Zhao's gaze moved from Zhu Yan to Nanzhi, and then to his grandson who was still grinning foolishly.

I was dumbfounded for a moment.

Did he know something so important that it put him in a dilemma and made him feel very uncomfortable?
