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

Things have already happened, and no matter how much trouble he makes, he can only be furious and helpless. Gu Junming sat up and looked at the blue sky and white clouds in the distance, feeling extremely melancholy.

Gu Junming felt quite emotional when he recalled the innocent look on Bai Linglong's face when she was a child, following him obediently and pointing at the candied haws and asking what they were.

When Xiaobai Linglong was throwing a tantrum and clamoring for candied haws...

Why don't you just spank her ass?

It made her become what she is now...

"I regret it."

Gu Junming slowly closed his eyes, but what emerged in his mind was the scene where he risked his life to bring out the Earth Spirit Liquid.

Blood flowed from the corner of his mouth again.

The real pain is not crying and making a fuss, but choosing to bear it alone and silently...

Looking at Gu Junming, who was sitting on the steps of the east room with a sad look on his face, Lao Ba hesitated for a moment.

He still couldn't tell them the truth that Bai Linglong had told them long ago that there was a small lake on the side peak that could cleanse the soul, and that he and Nangong Xiuzhu had both been there.

Right below Gu Junming's butt, in a secluded cave, it was dark and silent.

But it contains a strong life force.

As a green plant breaks through the soil, it gradually spreads and climbs up the dusty stone slabs.

He touched the left thigh of the woman who had been sitting cross-legged in silence for a long time.

The moment of contact.

In the darkness, the woman slowly opened her eyes, which flashed with a green light.

huff huff huff...

Several tiny green plants sprouted from the soil, either in the cracks of the stone slabs or on the mottled walls.

Everywhere.

Green dots like fireflies filled the space, instantly illuminating the surroundings and also illuminating...

Wen Zilian's incredibly beautiful face.

······

"Master Xiao, my mother said she has made some red bean soup. Please come down and rest for a while!"

The boy from Aunt Li's family stood in the yard and shouted at Xiao Jianxin who was installing tiles on the roof.

This place was destroyed a little by the clash between good and evil yesterday. Even though Aunt Li said that they didn't need to compensate for the losses, Xiao Jianxin still came to help without hesitation.

He even paid for it out of his own pocket and personally renovated the entire tiled house, which leaked when it rained.

Originally, Aunt Li's roof was only damaged by a few broken tiles that flew off, revealing several holes, and the damage was minimal.

But Xiao Jianxin still repeatedly assured them that he would give them a complete and warm...home.

"It will be over soon."

Xiao Jianxin wiped the sweat from his forehead with his sleeve and turned around with a sincere smile:

"Thank your mother for me."

"Hurry up! Otherwise the porridge will get cold and won't taste good!"

Li Luan had just finished shouting when he turned around and was scolded by Aunt Li who came out with a stern face:

"What's the hurry? The porridge can be heated up if it gets cold. If Hero Xiao falls down, will you catch him?"

"Hero Xiao, don't listen to this little bastard's nonsense. He's just like his father."

"Take your time, don't rush..."

Aunt Li, holding a bowl of fragrant red bean soup, walked over to the yawning woman leaning against the door frame with a naive look and said with a smile:

"Miss Murong, this is the red bean soup I just made. It's hot, try it!"

"It smells so good." Murong Qiuhe perked up and leaned over to sniff the bowl of red bean soup.

"Yeah, come and try it and see how it tastes. I have more, plenty!"

Aunt Li has a simple smile and a kind heart. Although she has not received much education, she knows what gratitude is.

"Then I would be disrespectful."

Murong Qiuhe rubbed her hands impatiently and took the red bean soup handed to her by Aunt Li.

Just as he picked up the spoon and took a sip, his eyes suddenly lit up and he shouted to Xiao Jianxin who was busy above:

"Xiao Jianxin, if you keep dawdling, don't blame me if I eat your share later!"

"If you can give me a few days' grace period to repay my debt after you finish eating, I will not only not blame you, but will also express my gratitude to you."

Xiao Jianxin's voice was filled with laughter.

"Hey, you are the respected 'Hero Xiao', please don't let me look down on you."

Murong Qiuhe rolled her eyes, then continued to savor the delicious food in her hand.

"Hey, look at this."

Aunt Li said anxiously, "Miss Murong, I'll pay back what Xia Xiao borrowed from you!"

"No, I was just joking."

Murong Qiuhe smiled and said, "Xiao Jianxin is very rich, so don't worry, Auntie."

"Well...why don't I just give you the money? Otherwise, I'll always feel uncomfortable."

"Don't worry about this, Auntie. You don't know that last time Xiao Jianxin's younger sister came to him to ask for money, he waved his sleeves and gave her five gold treasures without saying a word."

"I'm so jealous!"

Murong Qiuhe said seriously.

"is it?"

Aunt Li still had some doubts.

"Yes, mother."

Li Luan, a smart kid, jumped out and said, "Master Xiao gave me two gold pieces as tuition last time, otherwise those guys would have kicked me out of the school long ago."

"You kid, you're bothering Hero Xiao again. I'll beat you to death!"

Aunt Li was so angry that she rolled up her sleeves and pretended to hit Li Luan, but was stopped by Murong Qiuhe.

However, Murong Qiuhe was also a little confused. Why would Xiao Jianxin do this when they were not related?

Not only is it a thankless job, but there is also no reward... Isn't he afraid of being blamed?

"Mom! Don't worry."

Li Luan has been afraid of his mother since he was a child.

But at this moment, he bravely poked his head out from behind Murong Qiuhe and said seriously:

"I will study hard, listen to my teacher, and pass the imperial examinations to gain a good reputation and benefit the people of the world!"

"Hmph, I don't expect you to achieve anything. As long as you don't cause trouble for others, I'll be satisfied."

After saying this, Aunt Li turned around and walked back to her room.

You can use the round bronze mirror placed in the hall.

Murong Qiuhe discovered...

Aunt Li was standing behind the door, secretly shedding tears.

"Little ghost, remember to listen to your mother from now on, okay?"

Murong Qiuhe knocked on Li Luan's head.

"She's my mother, of course I'll listen to her!"

Li Luan grinned, revealing his missing front tooth.

Murong Qiuhe couldn't help but laugh and said casually, "What about your father? Don't you listen to your father's words?"

"I've never met my father. My mother has been raising me since I was a child. My mother said... my father is a great hero!"

"Big hero? Where is he? Let me see him."

It was just a casual remark, but unexpectedly Li Luan actually ran into the thatched hut and brought out a square wooden frame.

There was a small black and white portrait inside.

Murong Qiuhe felt unwell when she saw this.

Perhaps I don’t know the meaning of the portrait.

But how could she not know?

"This is my dad! My mom's a hero!"

Li Luan held up the wooden frame with both hands and smiled proudly.

Murong Qiuhe stood there blankly for a long time without moving. At this moment, the red bean soup in the bowl no longer smelled fragrant.

He said he had never seen his father...

I have been brought up by my mother since I was a child...

His father is a great hero to his mother.
