When the sky was completely dark, with only the twilight of the cosmic moon and cold stars, the chain bridge was hidden in the darkness, almost invisible.

The two walked onto the chain bridge carefully, trying to use as little force as possible to prevent the bridge from shaking.When you walk to the center of the bridge, you feel like you are in a sea of ​​clouds, and the cold and damp mist lingers around you, as if it will condense into water droplets at any time.

Not long after, the two of them came to the other end, which was also a cliff. The steepest section of Muyue Cliff was just below the cliff. If there were no clouds and fog to cover it, the sight would be daunting enough to look down.

Leaving the cliff and turning a dangerous bend, the mountain becomes flatter, and there is a forest of flowers in front of you. At first glance, it looks like peach blossoms, but there are subtle differences. The petals look lighter and thinner than peach blossoms. The faint moonlight fell on it, and it looked as if it was transparent.

Liu Zhongyi frowned, then turned to look at Wen Yan.

Wen Yan shook his head slightly, indicating to him that the flower is not poisonous, so it's okay.

The two stepped into the flower forest, and from a distance, they heard someone's voice in the forest. It seemed that two people were talking, but it was too blurred by the mountain wind, so they couldn't hear what they were talking about.

When he got closer, he could vaguely see two figures in the flower forest, one of them was facing them, and the other had only a back view.

The person facing them was leaning against a flowering tree, coldly crossing his arms, looking away from other places.The faint moonlight reflected on his cheeks through the flower branches, and the tiny spots of light outlined the indifferent arc, even though it was a bit too cold and hard, it still looked perfect.

Liu Zhongqing!

Liu Zhongyi watched with wide eyes, almost couldn't help but leave the cover of the flower tree and stepped forward to recognize each other.

Wen Yanyi gently pressed his shoulder as if to comfort him, telling him not to move rashly.

Naturally, Liu Zhongyi would not be so impulsive, but bit her lip slightly, and listened to the movement over there with bated breath.

"The more you refuse, the more interesting I think, understand?"

The man with his back to them smiled, raised his hand to touch Liu Zhongqing's chin, and gently rubbed his thumb against the curved and indifferent thin lips, with a hint of flirtatiousness.

Liu Zhongqing snorted coldly, swept his eyes over, condensed slightly, seemed to have discovered the figure hiding behind the flower forest, but did not point it out, looked at the opposite person as if nothing had happened, and said: "I don't care what you think, Unfortunately, there are some things you just can't get."

"Although I also want to know what you are referring to, but now," the man paused slightly, his tone became cold, "I am more curious about who is so bold and dares to come here!"

Before he finished speaking, he turned around, raised a sleeve arrow in his hand and shot towards the flower forest, and nailed it straight to the tree where the two of them concealed their figures.

The man put his hands behind his back and said, "Who is coming, why don't you show up and see him?"

Wen Yan lightly pressed Liu Zhongyi's shoulder, and then walked out from behind the tree.

Seeing him appear, the man couldn't help raising his eyebrows and smiling, "I don't seem to know who you are." He turned his face to look at Liu Zhongqing, the corners of his lips curled up, and his voice was cold, "Why, could it be your former lover? "

Liu Zhongqing said coldly: "Thank you, don't deceive others too much."

Wen Yan took off the mask on his face, and said lightly, "Wen Yan is at Baicao Village."

"You—" Liu Zhongqing didn't expect it to be him, so she couldn't help showing surprise.

Xie Miao seemed to find it interesting, and said: "It turns out to be Zhuang Zhu Wen, and it seems that my guess is not wrong." He was born with a handsome appearance, and at this moment he had a sneer on his face, looking a little sinister, "Villa Zhuang Wen Is it because of love? It's a pity that he is my person now, and what I hate the most is the person who is coveted by others."

As he said that, he put his hand on the long knife hanging on his waist, killing intent for a moment.

"...No." Liu Zhongqing frowned slightly, and stopped her.

"The more you stop me, the more I want to kill him," Xie Miao sneered, "What's more, Mingsha Sect is a place where people can come and go as they please. I also accept the matter of Zhongzhou. What do you think about the news, Master Wen?"

Wen Yan's expression was still indifferent, and just as he was about to speak, he heard a voice behind him say: "These are just your guesses, and it's not entirely true."

Looking back, I saw Liu Zhongyi walking from the flower forest, with a peaceful expression, and even a little smile, at that moment he forgot where he was, and was a little bit at a loss.

Liu Zhongyi glanced at him briefly, and when his eyes met, Wen Yan understood the man's thoughts, so he remained silent, waiting for him to continue.

I saw Liu Zhongyi took out the remaining half of the broken jade pendant from his bosom, and continued: "We came here just to find my brother. We lost the news for five years, and finally got a clue. Naturally, we did everything possible to find it. If there is any offense Don’t blame me for that.”

Originally, he had changed his appearance, and his stature had changed a lot in the past five years. Liu Zhongqing didn't recognize him, but when he opened his mouth, Liu Zhongqing was a little stunned, and the original indifferent expression disappeared, just like that for a moment. She stared at him for a long while before she said, "...Xiaoyi?"

"Brother." Liu Zhongyi stopped, stood beside Wen Yan, and smiled at him just two or three steps away.

Really, just like back then.

Liu Zhongqing stared at him blankly, and forgot to go forward for a while.

Xie Miao watched from the side, and couldn't help snorting. In the past five years, he has never seen this person like this. It seems that all the indifference has been peeled off. His eyes are full of various emotions, which are simply full of affection. appearance.

Liu Zhongqing seemed to be pulled back from his thoughts by his cold snort, but she didn't care at all. She stepped forward and hugged the smiling young man——

The person in his arms was no longer the one he could hug or even hug as before. The boy in his memory had grown up and was as tall as him, which proved that time had indeed passed by in a hurry.

"elder brother."

Liu Zhongyi also raised her arms to hug him back, called softly, and rubbed her cheek on his shoulder as before.

Liu Zhongqing couldn't help tightening her arms, and was speechless for a while.

Xie Man looked quite unhappy, looked at Wen Yan who was indifferent, and said: "Since it is the younger brother who loves him, I don't have to pursue it, but Mr. Wen came all the way here. What is it for? To continue the frontier?"

Only then did Liu Zhongqing let go of her embrace, turned around, and gave him a cold look, "Shut up."

"Why?" Xie Mian raised his eyebrows, showing no signs of giving in.

Wen Yan's expression remained unchanged, and he said calmly: "You misunderstood, I just..."

"He came with me," Liu Zhongyi interrupted him, and said to Xie Miao, "My relationship with him is just like that between you and your elder brother."

As soon as this remark came out, Xie Miao was stunned, and Wen Yan was also stunned. Although he knew that this was an expedient measure, he still couldn't help feeling slightly hot in his heart, and looked at that person with some emotion.

Liu Zhong didn't feel any difference when he saw the situation. The two of them have been acting in harmony these days, so when he saw Wen Yan showing such gentle eyes, he just thought it was the person who was cooperating with him, and it went smoothly. Smiling at him, completely unaware of the surging heart of that person at this moment.

Xie Miao looked at Liu Zhongqing's expression on the side, and was vaguely puzzled, so he raised the corners of his lips and said with a light smile: "There is no evidence for what I say, how can I trust you?"

Liu Zhongyi didn't answer, and raised his hand slightly sideways to clasp Wen Yan's chin, looked at him without blinking, then closed his eyes slightly, and planted a very light kiss on his lips.

Wen Yan was taken aback.

Warm and soft to the touch, there seems to be a touch of sweetness that comes from nowhere.

Kind of like chestnut cake.

He had never imagined this scene, and when he was on the scene, he only felt that if Liu Zhongyi's other hand hadn't pinched his arm hard, he might have a more natural expression.

But now it's good enough.

It's just a pity, that person kissed too innocently.

Liu Zhongyi quickly let go of him, turned his eyes away, and looked at Xie Miao: "Do you believe it?"

Xie Miao just had a look of watching the show, smiled when he saw this, and said: "It seems that I have no choice but to believe it. Since the two of you have come from a long way, I will hold a banquet in the church to clean up the dust for you, okay?"

Liu Zhongyi said lightly: "It's an honor."

Hearing the words, Xie Miao curled his lips slightly, led the way ahead, led them out of the flower forest, turned the road again, and there was a light in front of them.In the clusters of warm yellow halos, the outlines of the buildings can be vaguely discerned, and the wooden buildings are actually built beside the cliffs, separated by strange rocks and rocks. Also quite large.

Because of the steepness of Muyue Cliff, the winding mountain roads are winding one after another, and the buildings are distributed over three floors.Xie Miao led them directly to the highest floor. Guards passed by along the way, and they all saluted Xie Miao one after another. In front of a very spacious main house, a man in gray with a black cloak stepped forward and kneeled. Kneeling down, he said, "I'm conglomerate, I've seen the leader."

Xie Mu nodded slightly, and said: "The right protector came back just in time, give me orders, if there are distinguished guests coming, prepare a good side room, prepare a rich dinner, don't let outsiders look down on our Mingsha sect. As for If there is anything else, I will report it later."

"Yes." Although Conglomerate had doubts, he didn't raise it. He just took a look at the visitor, and then left.

Wen Yan glanced at his back, noticed the gold thread mark on the black cloak, thoughtful, but kept his face, and quickly looked away.

The four of them walked into the house, which was luxuriously decorated, and it was Yunchuan's unique style, which was quite different from Zhongzhou.After Xie Miao signaled to take a seat, it didn't take long before someone brought dinner over and filled the table.

Liu Zhongqing sat next to Liu Zhongyi, as if it was a long time ago, habitually adding food to him non-stop, Liu Zhongyi also tacitly immersed himself in eating hard, as if returning to the past.

Liu Zhongqing looked at him silently, lost in thought for a while, and then remembered that he was no longer a child, and had absolutely no use for her actions, and suddenly felt an indescribable emotion, both sore and joyful, On his face, he smiled unconsciously.

Liu Zhongyi seemed to know what he was thinking, put a chopstick of vegetables in his bowl, looked at him and smiled.

Even without any words, everything is very clear.

For a moment, Liu Zhongqing felt sour in his eyes. He was not good at expressing such gentle emotions, but now he knew that the other party didn't need to say more, he knew it all, and he was completely understanding. Even though it was five years apart, there was no hindrance. speechless.

There is nothing in this world that is more intimate than blood, and no one is more worthy...

Liu Zhongqing lowered her eyes to cover up the emotions in her eyes, put down her hand under the table and clenched her fist slightly.

The meal looked quite peaceful on the surface. After the meal, Xie Li said: "The two of you must be tired after going up the mountain today. How about resting first? Let's talk about it tomorrow."

Now that the words came to this point, the two of them naturally couldn't refute, so Xie Miao ordered the guards to lead them to the wing room.

The wing room Xie Mo ordered people to arrange for them was spacious and comfortable, and the surrounding strange rocks and rocks separated the other houses like a courtyard wall, so it was also very quiet and no one would disturb them.

After the guard left, Liu Zhongyi breathed a sigh of relief, sat down on the chair, thoughtful.

Wen Yan originally didn't want to disturb him, but he heard him say: "I'm sorry."

"Huh?" Wen Yan glanced at him suspiciously, but didn't react.

"I..." Liu Zhongyi frowned, feeling unable to speak, but still explained stiffly: "I just kissed you."

The voice was very low, and he spoke so fast that Wen Yan almost didn't hear clearly, but after he understood it, he couldn't help laughing and said: "I thought it was because you pinched me too hard."

"..." Liu Zhong saw that he smiled, confused in his heart, and said in a low voice, "I was worried that you would..."

Wen Yan knew what he was worried about, so he lowered his voice and said, "No."

Liu Zhongyi stared at him for a moment, then said, "You've been...a bit weird lately."

Wen Yan was a little nervous at first, but he couldn't help laughing when he said that, but he quickly suppressed the smile, and said solemnly: "Zhong Yi, there is something I have never told you."

"...What?" Seeing that he didn't mean to be joking, Liu Zhong became serious.

Wen Yan said: "After you drowned that night, in order to save you, I..."

"En." Liu Zhongyi understood what he meant and nodded.

"So, tonight's...it doesn't matter."

"Oh."

Wen Yan saw that he believed it was true, and couldn't help but sighed slightly, it was so coaxable.
