I respect him so fragrant

The moment his body was immersed in the lake water, Jiang Gu didn't feel cold.

The turbulent lake calmed down in an instant, and even the irritable male fish disappeared, and the expected death did not come.But he no longer has the energy to swim upstream, and dealing with the henggong fish consumes too much spiritual power and energy.All he knew was that he was sinking.As for when it sank, he didn't know.

Jiang Gu's consciousness was barely pulled back until a huge rock covered with red ropes appeared in front of him.The boulder has been standing at the bottom of the lake for an unknown number of years, covered with moss under the red rope, and there are faint words carved on it.He couldn't see clearly, but felt very familiar.

Seems to be seen somewhere.

He was suddenly rushed by the undercurrent hidden under the lake, and he quickly approached the boulder.The boundless suffocation began to destroy his consciousness.In a daze, he finally saw the words on the boulder. Perhaps after years of being impacted by the water, the words on it were somewhat damaged, so he could barely distinguish them.

No more, no less, exactly eight—

The solitary shadow of the cold river is all dead and built.

Jiang Gu suddenly woke up from his dream.He opened his eyes and found himself lying in Xingchang Mingju's bedroom.The cherry blossoms outside the window are still blooming, and it seems that they will never wither.After a moment of silence, Jiang Gu put on his clothes, picked up the Pingsheng sword and went out.Although the restraint has not been lifted, he has never let up in his sword practice.Same time, just a different location.

The ninth form of the Moon-Wanning Swordsmanship is far away from the mountains and near the water.

He practiced this style for a long time and still failed.Obviously every movement couldn't be simpler, but together they can't exert their power.After pondering for a long time, he couldn't find the problem, so he had to practice day after day, hoping to gradually understand the essence.

Another hour passed, and Jiang Gu was panting and sweating profusely.After resting for a while, he stared at the Pingsheng sword in his hand, looked again and again, and sighed slowly.

Got nothing.

"Although you are proficient in this move, it's always a bit off the mark." Mu Ye suddenly appeared from behind the cherry blossom tree, and commented solemnly.It is rare for him to change his attire, and he is wearing the uniform of an immortal master, which gives him a bit of immortal air.

Seeing him coming, Jiang Gu saluted and said, "Why is Senior Brother Mu here?"

He is still in the lockdown period, and it stands to reason that no one can visit him.

Mu Ye smiled and said: "I came here this time to say goodbye to you, and to convey the order for the head. Your restraint has been lifted, and you don't need to stay in Xingchang Mingju anymore."

Jiang Gu didn't know which one to be surprised first: "Why did you say goodbye? What's the matter with the order from the head?"

"To be promoted to an immortal master, you have to go down the mountain to practice for three years." Mu Ye tugged at his clothes and gestured, "As for the order from the master, I just convey it, and I don't know why."

"It's a good thing that the foot restraint has been relieved." He patted Jiang Gu on the shoulder, "There have been too many things happening recently, and it's not good for you to be locked up in Xingchangming Residence all day, why don't you spend more time in Wanyue Xianshan to relax I just saw that your ninth form is not very good, so why don't you take this opportunity to ask Shuiyue Xianzun. He has always given advice, if you ask him, he will be very happy."

Jiang Gu's expression froze slightly, and he felt a little uncomfortable.Mu Ye didn't pay attention, but said with regret: "Tomorrow, I won't be able to attend your apprenticeship ceremony. However, you and Shuiyue Xianzun have a deep relationship between master and apprentice, and everyone in Wanyue Xianshan knows that the apprenticeship ceremony will be held this time. It’s just going through the motions.”

The master-student relationship is deep, and everyone knows it... A few words have fooled Jiang Gu.He looked at Mu Ye's serious eyes, and made sure that he didn't just say it casually but really believed it. He couldn't help feeling unbelievable: "Senior brother... why did you say that?"

After Xie Yao left the customs, he never visited Shuiyue Jingtian once, and sometimes he would avoid people when he saw them.If Xie Yao insisted on looking for him, he would also speak sarcastically and not show any good looks.He thought it was too much to do this, why did a group of people think that they were mentors and apprentices who had a deep friendship?

"Why did you say that?" Mu Ye looked him up and down with a surprised tone, "You don't wonder why the master only punished you for one month, but fined Shuiyue Xianzun for three months?"

"The one who made the mistake is the Immortal Venerable, isn't it just heavier?"

"Obviously it is a combined punishment for several crimes."

Mu Ye stared at Jiang Gu's face, and suddenly became emotional: "My master grew up watching the Shuiyue Xianzun, and he knows what kind of person the Xianzun is. Recently he often asks me about you. Puzzled, he told me that he wanted to know what kind of person could make the Immortal Venerable break the ban repeatedly, and even dare to speak against the sect master."

"But Shuiyue Xianzun...isn't it always like this?" Jiang Gu frowned, thinking about what Xie Yao said to him on the evening of the Shangyuan Festival.

"Ten years ago, Xianzun often did this, but later he restrained himself a lot." Mu Ye thought for a while, "It seems to be the first time in these few years that he was punished like this."

"Then... when did you speak against the sect master?"

"It's normal for you to be unclear about this matter. The immortal masters and elders who met at the scene were all ordered not to talk about this matter. I can know because the master accidentally slipped his mouth." Mu Ye hesitated for a while, Feeling that it's already at this time, it's okay to say it, so he said, "At that time, you were in danger in the ancient times, and your life and death were unknown. The head was afraid that he would rashly send people into the evil place to search for your whereabouts, and the monsters inside would be alarmed. Threatened the lives of other disciples who participated in the competition, so I decided to wait for them to come out first, and then use the moon spirit mirror to check for your traces. As a result, Shuiyue Xianzun proposed that he hoped that the master would allow him to enter the dangerous environment to find you and bring you out .”

"It is conceivable that the master would not agree, but Shuiyue Xianzun insisted on this, and even got angry with the master, bluntly saying that you are his apprentice, and he can't let you be in such a dangerous place. Then ignore Stop me, and break into the ancient evil realm by myself. The sect master and they still don't know how the immortal found you."

Jiang Gu choked up when he heard the words, and said softly: "It's not that the spirit sword and the master have a good heart..."

"Where did you hear it?" Mu Ye was puzzled, "Why haven't I heard it?"

But he told me this with a smile at the time. Jiang Gu's mouth moved, but he still didn't say it.He suddenly remembered something, grabbed Mu Ye's wrist and asked, "How is Fang Zhuyu?"

Didn't it mean that the Patriarch of the Fang family pleaded for him personally, and coupled with the years of friendship between the Fang family and Wan Yuemen, he couldn't die?

"It was dealt with according to the rules yesterday. Those members of the Fang family took away his body." Mu Ye mentioned this, his expression became a little cold, "You deserve what you deserve, and it's useless to ask for mercy."

Jiang Gu was stunned by the unexpected answer and didn't react for a while.He stood there with a dazed expression, feeling that the whole world had quieted down, and Xie Yao's words, "If I don't do this, Fang Zhuyu won't be dealt with." His heart suddenly popped up A ridiculous idea--

Xie Yao didn't seem to lie to himself.

But why did he intervene in dealing with Fang Zhuyu?What is the connection between holding apprentice ceremonies and this?

Everything was like a mist shrouded in front of Jiang Gu's eyes.He suddenly felt that he was ridiculous, taking the false appearance as real and the truth as false, thinking that he knew everything, but in fact he knew nothing.

It's really... stupid.

Jiang Gu suddenly bowed to Mu Ye, and ran out without saying goodbye. Mu Ye hurriedly chased after him to call him, but he couldn't catch up, so he could only watch him run away, and then sighed helplessly. .

Running all the way to Shuiyue Jingtian, Jiang Gu was so panicked that he lost all dignity, and the sleeves of his clothes were torn by the branches by the roadside without knowing it.Some of the disciples who came and went were familiar with him, they were surprised to see him in such a hurry, and they all speculated what happened.

Running to a deserted mountain step, he suddenly slipped and fell down again.It's just that no one helped him up this time, and no one asked him if he was okay.The surrounding area is empty and quiet, with luxuriant trees, and there are a few crisp birdsong from time to time. It is clearly a beautiful scenery, but he suddenly feels bored.

The damned steps!The noisy birds chirping!And these twigs tore his clothes!

He got up angrily, and continued to walk up with a limp.As he walked, his vision began to blur, and his eyes seemed to be covered with mist. He rubbed his eyes vigorously, only to feel that the corners of his eyes were sore, and his throat was also a little choked.

Jiang Gu didn't know why he was like this, just like he didn't know why he had to drink last night and got angry with Xie Yao who came to look for him. He could speak well and listen to others' explanations.

In the past three years, he always felt that he was wrong, and after Xie Yao left the customs, he felt that Xie Yao was at fault.Just now after Mu Ye told him everything, he changed his mind and felt that Xie Yao and himself were both at fault.But now after a fall, he suddenly realized why he had to talk about who was right and who was wrong in everything. It was clear that neither he nor Xie Yao was wrong.What was wrong was the head of the sect who forced Xie Yao to accept his disciples, Fang Zhuyu who bullied him everywhere, those villains who bullied the weak and feared the hard to follow their power, and played with the world between applause and applause.

He was supposed to be an apprentice who was peacefully waiting for his master to leave the customs. He had many friends and would not be assassinated for no reason.Swimming at the Lantern Festival, buying beautiful lanterns, and eating candied haws that are neither sour nor sweet.He would be scared because he almost died in the ancient evil environment, and he would also be sad because he didn't get the first place in the trial meeting.When he was practicing swordsmanship, he didn't understand any moves, so he immediately ran to ask the master, found a jug of good wine, and secretly hid it to drink with his friends.I think that my mother can go down the mountain to visit the tomb on the Lantern Festival, and that Qihan can find someone to help carry the letter, practice calligraphy and sleep, or meditate with the master, and live every day in a normal way.

He could have been the proud Mu Ye instead of the unknown Jiang Gu.

I don't know which piece of dark cloud drifted into the barrier, and it rained rarely in the fairy mountain.Jiang Gu stopped in his tracks, stood on the mountain steps in silence for a long time, then turned and returned.The road when he came was wet and slippery with the rain, and it became more and more difficult to walk. He lowered his head and walked slowly, seemingly unaware that the drizzle had already wet his hair and clothes.

Until a pair of white boots stained with mud appeared before Jiang Gu's eyes.

Xie Yao propped the oil-paper umbrella on top of Jiang Gu's head, and the color of his green clothes remained unchanged, blending in with the surrounding mountains and blue colors.He looked at the distressed look in front of him, frowned lightly and said, "Why did you come here? Let me have a good meal, did you wake up today from the wine you drank last night..."

It's just that before he finished speaking, he just stayed where he was, unable to even hold the oil-paper umbrella in his hand, and rolled down the mountain steps.

Amidst the sound of the rain, Jiang Gu hugged his neck and buried his head in his neck, not knowing whether he was crying or what.

Xie Yao was at a loss for a while, and finally managed to remember that there was a passage in the storybook describing the lover comforting the girl.He learned to put his palm on the back of Jiang Gu's head, and was just about to touch it, but then realized that touching his head is for girls, not for rough boys like Jiang Gu.

So he gently patted the back of Jiang Gu's head.

The author has something to say: This chapter cannot be called resolving misunderstandings. It can only be said that it is good for Jiang Gu to start to understand Xie Yao, but this can create a harmonious atmosphere. The two can chat slowly, can't they!

Well, it’s because I let myself go too far, so I didn’t write it there, please cuties line up and smash my dog’s head with a sledgehammer!

I would like to add that tears are just a way of venting, not Jiang Gu's character design~
