The sect is full of evildoers, but I am the eldest brother.

Even late at night, the sky is still full of stars.

Gu Junming and Lao Ba were sitting on the Wangshu Terrace in Xiaoyao Tower.

The scenery here is superb.

Looking up, you will see the bright moon hanging high in the sky; looking down, you will see the beautiful buildings that seem like those in heaven.

But these two grown men could only count stars aimlessly.

After resting for a while, Gu Junming's drunkenness gradually wore off.

He was a person who loved drinking. He was once the Sword King. He could drink a thousand cups without getting drunk. The higher you go, the colder it is.

At most, I drink a lot and have fun, and I like to take off my clothes.

But as time passed, my mood changed and I finally got rid of this bad habit.

"Haha~, I'm sleepy, Lao Ba, I'm going downstairs."

quiet--

Silence is Lao Ba's usual style.

Gu Junming raised his buttocks.

Turn around and prepare to go down the stairs.

unexpectedly.

I ran into Wen Zixi who was walking towards me.

The other person was holding a lotus candlestick wrapped in seven-colored lotus petals in his arms.

"It's late, go to bed early." Gu Junming didn't think much about it and stepped aside to make way for Wen Zixi.

but.

Wen Zixi had no intention of going forward.

Just blocking the road.

Gu Junming blinked strangely, a little confused, but still walked around Wen Zixi and continued going down.

Junior sister looks worried.

I'll give you some guidance next time.

I'm so sleepy I can barely open my eyelids...

"Brother!"

"Um......"

Gu Junming rubbed his eyes and turned around, looking tired. "What's wrong, Lao Liu?"

Wen Zixi pursed her lower lip, raised her head, and said with a firm look in her eyes:

"Regarding Senior Brother Ye, I have something I want to ask you!"

"Let's change it tomorrow, brother..."

Gu Junming wanted to politely refuse by saying that he was "tired today", but he saw Wen Zixi's serious face.

The words were about to come out of his mouth but he swallowed them back.

He pinched his sore shoulders.

Finally he sighed and nodded.

After a while, Gu Junming came back with Wen Zixi, who was lowering her head, beside him.

Lao Ba was a little confused.

"What are you looking at me for? Move a seat for your senior sister."

At this time, in order to count the stars better, Lao Ba lay his whole body horizontally on the platform.

Hearing this, he reluctantly sat up again.

"sit down."

"Where are you, senior brother?"

"I, it's nice to get some fresh air..."

Gu Junming asked Wen Zixi to sit down.

He continued to stand.

Avoid the situation where you close your eyes and wake up to find it is already tomorrow.

if possible.

He still wanted to lie comfortably in bed...

"Tell me, what do you want to know?"

Lao Ba, who was planning to change places to continue watching the stars and the moon, lowered his slightly raised buttocks instantly after hearing what he said.

In the moment just now.

He seemed to smell the scent of "melon"!

"Brother, you... why don't you just tell me anything about Brother Ye? Anything is fine."

Wen Zixi herself didn't know what to ask.

She just wanted to understand.

Where do those strange yet familiar fragments of memories, as if I had experienced them myself, come from?

That man in blue...

It’s obviously Ye Yongzhen, right?

But, didn't the dragon race disappear long ago...

"Why does everyone want to know about Old Ye?"

Gu Junming bent his fingertips and rubbed them against his temples. He admitted that Ye Yongzhen was indeed born with a good-looking appearance and was very popular among women.

Moreover, they are extremely powerful and have never been defeated.

At least that's what Gu Junming remembered.

Of course, Gu Junming has never been defeated, but the number of times he wins is far less than Ye Yongzhen.

But such a powerful person was entangled by inner demons, and his Tao heart collapsed. From being full of vigor and looking down on the world at the beginning, he turned into an idle and useless person who found ways to drown his sorrows in alcohol all day long.

No wonder Song Zhitao was reluctant to join them in climbing Mount Lingxiao...

Although Gu Junming didn't say anything about this reunion, his heart was filled with mixed emotions.

The reason why my best friend has become like this is that he can't get over the hurdle in his heart.

All this can be traced back to the battle of Beixuan that year.

Strictly speaking, they did not lose.

Even if Bei Xuan sank in the end, they would be branded as sinners for all eternity.

But Gu Junming still felt that they had not lost.

But Ye Yongzhen is different.

Ever since that incident, I have been devastated, as if I had lost everything...

Gu Junming felt that he had not lost, but Ye Yongzhen felt that he had lost.

The former has lost his cultivation, but his heart of Taoism remains.

The latter's cultivation is still there, but his heart of Taoism has collapsed, and he lives in deep regret.

"Your Senior Brother Ye and I have known each other for a long time."

Gu Junming tried to recall it, and suddenly smiled with a hint of nostalgia, reminiscing:

"I'm not afraid of you laughing at me if I tell you this."

"Back then, I was just a young man struggling to make ends meet, but your Senior Brother Ye is a true young master from an aristocratic family. His status and position far surpass mine. The difference is like heaven and earth."

"That's right..." Gu Junming touched his nose and coughed twice strategically. "Although I lived in poverty in my early years, as the saying goes..."

"You can't bend with strength, and you can't move with poverty!"

“Even if I’m starving, I will never pick up a steamed bun thrown on the ground by someone else…”

"I even disdain to commit such petty thefts!"

"But your Senior Brother Ye..."

"He has thousands of acres of fertile land and a fortune, yet he loves to cheat and swindle people, claiming to be a man of few resources and always picking on honest people."

Wen Zixi had a strange look on his face. His two senior brothers had completely opposite personalities.

and many more!

Picking on honest people to blame, could it be...

"Haha, it's fate."

Gu Junming scratched his head and laughed.

"Once your Brother Ye stole an old hen from an auntie and used it to make soup.

Fearing that someone would find out, she set a trap for me, making Auntie think that I was the mastermind."

"I just ate a chicken wing, but you are being blamed for no reason.

"And being pulled by the ears and scolded by the aunt, that's something no one can stand, right?"

"So, I and your Senior Brother Ye will meet under the setting sun to have a battle between real men to defend our dignity!"

At this point, Gu Junming's face fell, and he smiled bitterly and said, "Guess who won in the end?"

Look at his expression.

The ending is destined to be very tragic.

But when Wen Zixi finished listening.

As if by some strange coincidence, a sentence suddenly popped out:

"That guy didn't come, did he?"

"Not bad!" Gu Junming gave Wen Zixi a thumbs up with satisfaction.

The one who understands me best is my junior sister.

He sighed deeply, his face filled with helplessness. "I waited until the next morning, enduring the cold wind, until I was almost starving to death. That bastard finally showed up, yawning, and finally said something like, 'You didn't take it seriously, did you?' It was truly infuriating."

"..."

"..."

It is indeed difficult to evaluate Senior Brother Ye.

Lao Ba suddenly felt ashamed, thinking that although his eldest brother was miserable, Ye Yongzhen was indeed a despicable person.

It's about a duel between real men,

How can you be so perfunctory?

"Then he took me to the city to eat a bowl of wontons, and that's how we met."
