"Then you will listen to me later no matter what happens, okay?"

Shen Wu cautiously said: "Let me think about it."

So Zhou Lian took another deep look at him, said nothing more, turned his head and walked down the winding corridor.

Not long after, the eyes suddenly opened up, Shen Wu took in the surrounding scenery at a glance, they seemed to have arrived at the backyard of the princess mansion, there was a well in the corner, just like other things in this mansion, it was also "alive", the mouth of the well Braving the faint cold air.

By the well, there is a person sitting.

The man was wearing a Taoist robe with fluttering sleeves. At first glance, the clothes were white, but upon closer inspection, one would find that the whiteness was clearly caused by the faded color of the fabric. The original color can be vaguely seen, matched with the bitter melon face of its owner, exuding an unstoppable shabby air invisibly.

Shen Wu's footsteps stopped suddenly, and his state of mind, which had been stagnant for many years, suddenly became turbulent. He almost thought that he had accidentally stepped into some kind of illusion.

Why is he here?

The somewhat hunchbacked middle-aged man stretched his natural melancholy and serious eyebrows, and smiled as broadly as possible to Shen Wu: "Ah Wu, long time no see."

He also said, "How did you become so thin?"

Shen Wu caught this sentence word for word, and tasted it carefully, but he didn't find even a trace of something wrong.

This person was really the former master he hadn't seen in ten years.

At this moment, Shen Wu was finally able to personally understand what kind of mood Zhou Lian felt when he saw his nonchalant smile that day under the crabapple tree at the entrance of the alley in Biemeng City.

Unbelievable, joyful, doubtful, and relieved, they all rushed forward, almost cooking his heart that had long since lost its vitality into a messy pot of porridge. two words:

"Master?" Then he felt something was wrong and corrected him, "Senior Changwuzi."

As soon as this remark came out, the face of his master who was good at cooking porridge changed, Shen Wu felt sour in his heart, and felt ashamed to face him, and was about to look away, when he heard him say: "It didn't take long to say it, just now I have only met you as a teacher."

Shen Wu:? ? ?

Wait, what is just now? ?

His mind turned, and he went through all the people and things he encountered that day—mainly things—in an instant, and finally stopped at the scene where he was pushed into the false handle-style study.

That flashing white corner...

Shen Wu: "..."

Seeing that he remembered, Chang Wuzi keenly sensed that the little apprentice looked at him not quite right, so he pointed the finger at Zhou Lian with great interest: "Yue Li, you have worked hard these few years."

He looked at Zhou Lian's radiant and luxurious clothes, but after all he couldn't say "you've lost weight" out of conscience, so he shut his mouth in a still unsatisfied way.

Zhou Lian glanced at him coldly, and said without giving any face: "What does it have to do with you?"

After finishing speaking, he left the beginning and stated directly that he didn't want to catch up with his master who had been away for more than ten years.

Chang Wuzi couldn't hold back his face, and said embarrassingly: "That's not what you said..."

He ate at Zhou Lian's place, and pointed at Zhou Lian halfway, then turned to Shen Wu tremblingly: "Awu has grown so big."

Shen Wu's turbulent heart lake has calmed down a little, and the doubts when he suddenly saw Chang Wuzi came to his heart again, and asked:

"Why are seniors here?"

Chang Wuzi's words were broken in an instant.

Shen Wu asked again: "Why did the senior push me earlier?"

He looked directly at Chang Wuzi, with a focused and serious glint in his eyes, obviously he didn't want Chang Wuzi to fool him.

Chang Wuzi couldn't dodge it, so he could only skip the first question, hesitatingly said: "Here, didn't I see that you were looking for your senior brother?"

As soon as he said this, he seemed to have found a good-sounding reason, straightened his tongue, and said confidently, "Didn't the teacher want to give you a ride!"

Shen Wu: "..."

It makes sense!

He slowly frowned, stared at Chang Wuzi, and didn't speak.

He knows what he looks like the scariest. For so many years, Shu Shen has said countless times that his face, which is neither human nor ghost, is usually acceptable, that is, when his face turns pale and he frowns silently. It will look particularly gloomy.

As a result, Chang Wuzi was taken aback by him, and said: "How can you be like your senior brother?"

Shen Wu: "..."

Zhou Lian: "..."

no, what are you talking about?

Using eyes to force a confession is not going to work, Shen Wu skipped over this without changing his face, loosened his brows, suppressed his thoughts, changed the way of speaking, chatting like:

"Senior came to the prophecy capital, but something happened?"

Chang Wuzi was not fooled and stared at him for a moment, then nodded and said: "It's something."

Without waiting for Shen Wu to ask, he immediately rejected Shen Wu's unspoken question: "What's the matter, I can't tell you for the time being."

He looked up at the sky and said: "It's getting late, this place is not a place to stay for a long time, you two should leave quickly."

He avoided it again and again, Shen Wu gradually couldn't restrain the anxiety in his heart, took a step closer to him, and said: "Dare to ask senior, what is the purpose of coming here?"

Chang Wuzi's smile faded away: "You child, how come you don't know how to look at people when you grow up. I said I can't tell you. Could it be that if you ask, I will tell you?"

Shen Wu continued to ask: "Is there anything you can't say?"

Chang Wuzi glanced at him strangely: "Otherwise, why didn't I tell you?"

Shen Wu ignored his pretending to be crazy, and an aggressive look gradually appeared between his brows: "Why can't you say it?"

Chang Wuzi was silent for a moment: "I can't say that."

Every time he evaded, Shen Wu would take out a certain guess that was suppressed in his heart and go through his mind again. At this moment, the guess that was originally just a vague thought had almost taken shape, and it was constantly being repeated in Shen Wu's mind. circling in my mind.

This is Yun Xiechen's former residence, he had just "observed" that person's past not long ago, and at this moment he saw Chang Wuzi here again.

There is also the piece of pingshu root that he picked up in Chendu ten years ago.

His heartstrings were repeatedly pulled by this guess, and it was already tense to the extreme. At this moment, he was shocked by Chang Wuzi's silence, and finally couldn't restrain himself, and said without hesitation:

"You can't say this, you can't say that, isn't there something shameful about seniors?"

Zhou Lian grabbed his sleeve behind him, and a low sigh was transmitted into his ear: "Awu, calm down."

Shen Wu's heart trembled, the sharpness in his eyes faded a little, but he still looked at Chang Wuzi stubbornly, and said word by word: "Can I ask senior, why did you appear in Chendu 20 years ago?" ?”

Zhou Lian said, "Awu!"

"There's nothing you can't ask." Chang Wuzi sighed and said, "Back then, your father asked me to go."

But Shen Wu didn't stop there, and asked like a cannonball: "How could my father know you? He asked you to go, so you go?"

Chang Wuzi turned his head: "He, he has some kind of friendship with Wei Shi."

Shen Wu raised a cold smile, and said sharply: "Oh, I thought it was because he had some kind of friendship with Yun Xiechen."

"..."

He was silent, but Shen Wu didn't let him go, and said: "Now that the matter is up to now, Senior Chang Wuzi...Master, aren't you willing to give me an explanation?"

Chang Wuzi's body trembled, and he said in a low voice: "I'm sorry for you. You are still willing to call me Master, I am satisfied."

This sentence almost confirmed Shen Wu's unspoken guess in a disguised form, his face suddenly turned pale, and after a while, he suppressed the trembling in his voice forcefully, saying:

"I don't need to apologize. I just want to ask for the truth for my father. If two countries go to war, there will be casualties. It's nothing, and I will never interfere."

"..."

"Then, master, can you tell me that what happened in Chendu back then was only because of the war between the two countries?"

Chang Wuzi kept his head tilted all the time, not meeting his gaze: "Don't you already know all about it?"

Shen Wu's heart groaned, his eyes suddenly turned red, and he spoke again, but he couldn't make a sound at the first moment, and he recovered after coughing, every word was extremely difficult to say:

"When Master appeared in Chendu, did he already know the ending of Chendu?"

Chang Wuzi closed his eyes: "Yes."

Shen Wu's complexion finally turned completely gray, he looked at the person in front of him in a daze, and felt a strange sense of dislocation for a moment, in the early summer season, but his consciousness seemed to have fallen into a barren ice field, with all his emotions All were frozen.

Back then, this person single-handedly led him into the fairy gate, and now he is the one who pushes him to hell with a single word.

In such an embarrassing situation, it seemed that all he could do was cry.

But I couldn't even shed tears.

All the intense emotions were intertwined, tightly blocked by that layer of ice in his heart, clamoring and unable to vent, so they had to die together.

In a daze, he seemed to hear Zhou Lian's voice, but he couldn't hear clearly because of the humming in his ears.

After a long time, Shen Wu managed to find his own voice, and said:

"I have nothing to say, senior, do you have anything else to tell me?"

Chang Wuzi was like a solidified sculpture, motionless and authentic: "I have nothing to say."

"Okay, okay." Shen Wu nodded, "This junior will take his leave first."

He took two steps back, his voice finally choked up.

He no longer wants to find out what kind of role Chang Wuzi played in the disaster in the capital of prophecy, and whether he intervened in it, nor does he want to ask why Yun Xiechen has such a crazy idea, the only thing he wants to do at this moment , is to leave here.

If you can't face it, no matter what you do, it will be embarrassing.

Zhou Lian watched his back disappear around the corner, then looked down at Chang Wuzi, and said:

"Does Master really have nothing to say to Ah Wu?"

Chang Wuzi was silent for a long while before saying: "There is nothing to say."

"Yeah." Zhou Lian nodded, then asked again, "What about me?"

Chang Wuzi finally raised his eyes to look at him, and said exhaustedly: "What do you want to say for Master?"

Zhou Lian said softly: "I thought Ah Wu should know the truth." After a pause, he said, "Me too."

Chang Wuzi pulled out a very hurtful smile: "What's the truth, didn't you hear it all just now?"

Zhou Lian looked at him indifferently and didn't speak.

Chang Wuzi smiled, but gradually he couldn't keep laughing anymore. He flattened the corners of his mouth, touched his face with both hands, and rubbed it vigorously. His whole body exuded a strong old spirit:

"The ending has already been decided. What's the point of asking the truth at this time?"

Zhou Lian stared at him disapprovingly, and opened his mouth to refute, but Chang Wuzi waved his hand and interrupted him:

"Okay, stop sticking around here as a teacher, go and look at your junior brother, don't lose him."

Zhou Lian didn't like him, and he was also worried about Shen Wu, but he was not short of time.Right now, there was a fire burning in his heart, and he couldn't vomit.What's more, Young Master Zhou has never been the kind of person who would wrong himself for others.

Especially, he has always been used to being arrogant in front of Chang Wuzi.

He said bluntly: "I really don't understand what you are thinking. If you want to hide it, why tell him the truth at this moment. Now that you have decided to confess, what are you doing so covertly?"

Chang Wuzi said: "Of course I want to protect him for the rest of my life."

Zhou Lian said indifferently, "Oh."

"But a child wants to avenge his father, how can I stop him?"
