The prince is very cruel

"Look, this is what she caught for me last night."

As Guan Ning was about to show his back, Lou Xinyue's face changed drastically. She was embarrassed and speechless. She stopped him and glared at him fiercely.

This bastard tells everything to others. He has no shame, but he still has it for himself.

Guan Ning smiled awkwardly and didn't take off his clothes again.

The old valley master said with feeling: "Women are always like this. The fiercer they appear, the softer they are inside. And those women who appear soft on the outside are actually crueler at heart."

"So, don't take it for granted."

Guan Ning nodded heavily upon hearing this: "Valley Master, I understand. I will. I will definitely stay with Xinyue forever."

The old valley master nodded from inside the carriage: "That's good. Just don't be like me, wasting your years and wasting your years."

There was an indescribable loneliness in his tone.

Guan Ning suddenly didn't know what to say and looked at Lou Xinyue.

Then the conversation fell into silence again, leaving only the sound of wheels and horses' hooves as people hurried on.

That night, the team left the Jueqing Valley and entered the Shu Tea Road from Feiniaotan. This was a relatively easy road to travel, built by the early Ba people who made a living by selling tea.

Most of this road is suspended on the mountainside and is made of a large number of wooden pillars. Even though someone has repaired it, the overall structure is no longer able to bear the weight of wind and rain.

But this still failed to stop the team from moving forward. Both Guan Ning and Lou Xinyue wanted the two old men to meet earlier.

Including the old valley master, although she didn't say anything, there was no doubt that she was the one with the most complicated, uneasy and urgent mood.

That night, the team decided to stop and rest for the night until late at night.

That night was peaceful and smooth, but the good times did not last long. The next day, a heavy rain began to fall from the sky, accompanied by lightning, thunder, and rolling dark clouds. It was a rare thunderstorm!

"It's over. How can we go in such heavy rain?" Guan Ning frowned, looked at the muddy ground, and then looked at the sky with lightning and thunder.

Lou Xinyue also frowned: "The journey that originally took three days will probably take much longer."

"Two lovers and enemies who haven't seen each other for sixty years, are about to meet again? Is heaven so unfavorable?"

This completely disrupted the plan. Guan Ning turned and walked towards the old valley master who was resting in the tea cave. She had many disciples around her. Although they were old, they were still served by people. Most of these female disciples were orphans she adopted, or women who had unfortunate families, were betrayed or driven away.

"Old Valley Master."

"We may be stuck here for some time. It's pouring rain, and the roads are difficult to walk on. We're also worried about landslides, which could cause casualties."

The old valley master glanced at the pouring rain and the mist lingering on the mountaintop and smiled indifferently: "I've waited for so many years, so a little time won't hurt."

Guan Ning nodded: "Okay."

"Then you take a rest first. I'll go and help you block the entrance to the cave so you don't catch a cold." After saying that, Guan Ning left.

Looking at Guan Ning who was busy in the wind and rain, and then looking at Lou Xinyue who was holding an umbrella behind him, the old valley master, who rarely smiled, smiled.

"..."

The rain lasted for more than ten hours before it completely stopped. After the rain, the sky in Shu was blue and the grass was green. The whole world seemed to have been washed, which was refreshing.

But the team still could not set off because heavy rain washed away the soil on the mountain, causing a landslide and crushing the ten-meter-long tea road.

Cars and horses cannot pass through, the only way is to change the road, but the only way is to take the mountain road, which has been washed by heavy rain for more than ten hours. It is not a road for people to walk on. Guan Ning may be able to persist, but the old valley master definitely cannot.

In the end, there was no other way, Guan Ning could only bite the bullet and repair the plank road himself.

This is not an easy task. Although it is only ten meters, it is extremely difficult to repair. Apart from anything else, at least it should be able to allow carriages to pass through, right?

Guan Ning climbed down the steep slope alone, swinging an axe, and went into the woods. Lou Xinyue followed closely behind him. The husband and wife were inseparable.

The old valley master was not a heartless person. Seeing that Guan Ning was struggling so hard, he asked his female disciples to help as well.

In this way, with the joint efforts of everyone, Guan Ningcai transported more than a dozen small trees up one after another, then split them in half and laid them one by one on the broken tea path.

In order to ensure that it would not collapse, he took great pains to join all the wood together tightly with mortise and tenon joints to prevent the convoy from falling and to prevent accidents if people behind walked in.

After a delay of thirty hours, the team finally set off again.

There were no major problems along the way, but small accidents occurred frequently. There was even a female disciple from the Jueqing Valley who was bitten by a poisonous snake and was convulsing.

Guan Ning was also in a lot of trouble. He escorted the old valley master to an appointment, but inexplicably felt as if he had gone through 81 difficulties. Even Lou Xinyue joked that he had forgotten to check the almanac when leaving the valley.

at last!

When it came to the sixth day, Gu He arrived!

The vast ancient river exudes a turbulent feeling of rushing into the sea. It runs through most of Shu. It is very long and very deep. Every year, some fishermen accidentally drown in it.

The first time the old valley master saw Gu He, her body began to tremble uncontrollably, and tears gradually moistened her old eyes. She held the railing tightly with both hands, unable to come back to her senses for a long time. No one knew what she was thinking.

Lou Xinyue murmured with emotion, "It's hard to imagine that the old Valley Master, a girl of seventeen or eighteen, traveled alone on such a difficult mountain road and rowed a boat in such a fast-flowing river, just to see her beloved."

Guan Ning also said: "Yes, no wonder the Valley Master was so angry when he received the letter from the ancestor. As the saying goes, the deeper the love, the deeper the hatred!"

"Well, Xinyue, you won't kill me in the future, right?"

Suddenly, he felt a little scared. If Lou Xinyue turned from love to hate, that would be a bit scary. This woman had superb martial arts skills and was swift and decisive. If she turned evil, she would definitely be ten times more terrifying than the old Valley Master.

Lou Xinyue glared at him coldly: "If you haven't done anything wrong, why would I kill you?"

"What are you afraid of?"

Guan Ning smiled awkwardly: "Isn't this just a casual question?"

"Just a casual question? You'd better not learn from the old ancestor of Bashan. If you lie to me, you know the consequences." Lou Xinyue warned coldly. If one day Guan Ning suddenly left without saying goodbye, she would not be able to accept it.

Because she has given everything she has to Guan Ning, there is no room for anyone else.

"Don't worry, don't worry." Guan Ning grinned and couldn't help but hugged her waist and hips.

Snapped!

Lou Xinyue slapped his dishonest hand away and then glared at him.

Guan Ning curled his lips and had to be honest.

At this time, the old valley master, who was standing on the boat and looking out at the ancient river, suddenly said quietly, "It's here. Once, I almost fell into the ancient river and my body was not found."

"Do you see the other side? There used to be an elderly couple there, but they're gone now. They used to give me water..."
