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

The gentle breeze brings a touch of warmth, neither too dry nor too strong, just right to wake up the sleeping people.

The sunlight shone obliquely on Gu Junming's face.

At this moment, he had not woken up yet and was still in a drowsy and hazy state.

But almost like muscle memory, he rubbed his eyes and sat up in bed, yawning violently.

"Why do I always feel like I don't get enough sleep..."

Gu Junming murmured, almost unable to suppress the sleepiness that swept over his body, and fell into a deep sleep again.

Wen Zixi drank a lot of wine with Ye Yongzhen last night and is still sleeping soundly now. Without the supervision of this old man, Gu Junming can also have a good rest.

Sleep until you wake up naturally.

Of course, Wen Zixi also had good intentions.

It was rare for Gu Junming to not get enough rest, it was simply because he was lazy...

In a sense, this kind of life is what Gu Junming has always longed for.

Carefree and free of worries.

Gu Junming had a deep memory of the hard days of eating the previous meal and racking his brains to think about the next one. If possible, in his next life...

Gu Junming's eyes gradually became brighter, and those old dreams from the past flashed through his mind like a kaleidoscope.

Maybe it wouldn't be bad to come back to the human world again.

"Are you old..."

Gu Junming shook his head, dismissing the distracting thoughts in his mind. He rubbed his forehead, couldn't help but let out a wry smile, and said to himself: "Why do I always think about the past?"

But those memories are becoming increasingly blurred...

Gu Junming got out of bed, walked to the windowsill and opened the wooden window, wanting to breathe in some fresh air to relax himself and relieve his inner anxiety. However, a sudden sound from the left scared him away from his sleepiness in an instant.

"It's quite late today~"

"What are you doing climbing up the eaves for no reason?!"

Gu Junming looked at him with some annoyance. He was lying on the eaves, with his hands behind his head, his legs crossed, and a dogtail grass leaf in his mouth.

"Brother Ye can do whatever he wants~"

Ye Yongzhen said nonchalantly: "Is it your business?"

Gu Junming was speechless: "I have no objection if you want to go out and have fun, but the key is that you have to pay! My money!"

"Look at how stingy you are."

As Ye Yongzhen spoke, the dogtail grass shook: "I am the young master of the Ye Mansion, with a huge fortune. How can I be short of your money?"

Gu Junming pushed his hands loosely onto the windowsill. "Do you need me to remind you of the days of going hungry for nine meals in three days?"

"Ha ha ha ha......"

Ye Yongzhen couldn't help laughing: "You know, I'm a stickler for bed, I'm not used to lying outside."

What bullshit...

I don’t know how many times I have lain on the street over the years.

Gu Junming saw through it but didn't say anything. Instead, he changed the subject: "It's rare to see you looking so worried. What's wrong? Are you feeling depressed because you're out of wine?"

"A little."

Ye Yongzhen turned sideways, facing Gu Junming who was leaning halfway out of the window, and said seriously, "Junming, if... I mean if, an old lady were to stare at you, what would you do?"

"Oh?" Gu Junming pretended to be surprised: "Then may I ask, is this old lady pretty?"

"I consider it beautiful, for now."

"So, does she have money?"

"Enough to keep you well fed and well fed for eight lifetimes."

Gu Junming suddenly realized and sneered: "Then why are you still hesitating? Just agree to her~"

"But......"

Ye Yongzhen sighed and said sadly: "I don't think I like her that much~"

Gu Junming suppressed a smile, "Just not that fond of her? Not that I have no feelings at all?"

Ye Yongzhen simply smiled, turned his back, and stopped asking questions. He lay quietly under the eaves as if he was asleep.

A cool breeze blew, rippling the yellowed dead leaves floating on the ground. Just as they were about to float away, Gu Junming, who was quick-eyed and quick-handed, reached out and grabbed them.

“A dead tree may meet spring again, but a fallen leaf cannot return to its roots.”

Ye Yongzhen's body trembled slightly, but Gu Junming was completely unaware. He lowered his eyes to look at the broken dead leaf, spread out his palms, and blew gently.

Use your own tiny power to help the fallen leaves fly to wider streets.

"Old Ye, these years..."

Looking at the diverse crowd below, Gu Junming suddenly asked, "Have you ever been back to see it?"

"You and I are both a lone boat floating in the troubled times. I will drift whichever way the wind blows."

Ye Yongzhen's voice came slowly: "For me, the concept of home no longer exists."

"Just now you said you were the young master of the Ye Mansion." Gu Junming said with a smile: "You have a big family and a lot of wealth, but now you say you have no family. Don't you think that's contradictory?"

"I'm just a 'guest'."

Ye Yongzhen waved his hand casually.

"Since I'm a 'guest', I'll have to leave one day. I'll leave the specific time to fate."

Gu Junming uttered a "huh" sound, "Isn't turning the tables on the 'guest' and becoming the 'host' your specialty? Don't forget, you used that trick to recruit Song Zhitao back then."

"I'm suing you for defamation, believe it or not."

Ye Yongzhen said disdainfully, "She came to me on her own initiative, what the hell does it have to do with me? You were there at the time, and I didn't even bother to provoke her, but she just came up and punched me hard!"

"You didn't recruit her."

Gu Junming shrugged nonchalantly: "But you act decisively and leave no room for maneuver. No wonder Song Zhitao is angry."

"That's exactly what I said."

He said slowly, "When a disciple is away from home, he meets an equitable opponent. A fair contest is a loss. It only means that his skills are inferior to his own. However, the moment he revealed his identity, you still ruthlessly killed him. This is undoubtedly a slap in the face of the entire sect."

"As you wish..."

Ye Yongzhen was disdainful: "Ji Cang, that guy, slaughtered an entire family without knowing right or wrong. Should I let him go for once for the sake of the Great Dragon Dynasty?"

Knowing Ye Yongzhen's temperament,

But Gu Junming had his own way of dealing with it: "Then I'd like to ask Master Ye, is Ji Cang's massacre of an entire family related to you?"

"Do you want to see justice done, or do justice? When did you become so noble?"

Ye Yongzhen raised a finger, slowly bent it, and pointed it at Gu Junming, who was smiling. He said in a steady tone: "Your tricks won't work on me. I said, 'Brother Ye can do whatever he wants', you have no right to interfere!"

Gu Junming held his chin with his palm, still smiling: "Do you know how tiring it is to climb 999 steps every time you go up and down the mountain?"

As expected, Ye Yongzhen fell silent after hearing this. After a while, he weakly said:

"I owe you."

"You never owed me anything."

Gu Junming sighed: "If it weren't for you, I would have gone downstairs to reunite with my family by now."

"...If you want to mess with me, just say so."
