Where is Our Agreement to be Each Other's Arch-Rivals?

Gu Feidi was startled suddenly: "Why?"

Gu Ruohai said: "Recently there has been a lot of turmoil in the martial arts. Both Tongyun Temple and Wujiang Gate have discovered the spies of Erluo Ghost Tent. You are still young, don't get involved in this dispute, and just practice martial arts quietly in the pavilion."

"But father," Gu Feidi said anxiously, "Su Yan introduced Gu worms into his body to save me, and I shouldn't abandon him because of emotion and reason..."

Gu Ruohai looked at his son's anxious expression, paused for a moment, and asked, "Is it emotional or reasonable?"

Gu Feidi lowered his eyes and said: "...the love of classmates, the principle of repaying kindness."

"You and Su Yan are really just classmates?" Gu Ruohai asked in a deep voice.

The accent of the tone fell on the second half of the sentence, with obvious questioning, Gu Feidi couldn't help but panicked a little.

He clenched his fists, wiped the fine beads of sweat from his palms on the lapel of his clothes, swallowed, and replied: "Classmates, and... the friendship of friends who fought side by side. The time in Xiaoyulou, Yujiantan before... Yes, my father should have heard about the wasteland he blocked the knife for me."

As Gu Feidi said, he finally had the courage to raise his eyes to meet Gu Ruohai's gaze: "So, he and I should be regarded as a fateful friendship."

Gu Ruohai stared closely at Gu Feidi's eyes.After a while, he said, "You attach great importance to Su Yan."

Gu Feidi: "Brother who died, I should take it seriously."

Gu Ruohai exhaled slowly, raised his hand to pat Gu Feidi's shoulder, and said, "You've grown up..."

Then, without waiting for Gu Feidi to say anything, he said again: "I am not a good father, nor a good husband. When you were young, I never cared about you mother and child for a long time."

Seeing his father seeming disappointed, Gu Feidi comforted him and said, "Father, what's the matter? Although you are strict, you taught me martial arts by hand, and told me to read and practice calligraphy every day. How can you say that you don't care?"

Gu Ruohai smiled and said: "No matter what, you have been a good boy since you were a child. You are sensible and polite, and you are also diligent and hardworking. Pavilion Master, the successor is expected to..."

Gu Feidi stood there, speechless.

He looked at his father with gray hair on his sideburns in a daze, and the fingers on his side trembled uncontrollably.

"Although Su Yan came from the Devil's Cult, you entered Xiaoyulou together with him after all. There is nothing wrong with him." Gu Ruohai went on to say, "As a father, he also made friends with... the leader of the Devil's Cult. Let's travel together."

As he said that, he sighed faintly, looked straight at Gu Feidi, and said, "But, you have to understand that sometimes, many things don't develop in the direction you expected. I don't want my father to be hurt by that year. My son went through the same thing."

Gu Feidi was taken aback: "... Hurt?"

Gu Ruohai said: "Old things, don't mention them. You have to know that the people in the Demon Cult are unscrupulous, ignore the world and human relationships, and do things according to their wishes. Now he treats you well and is willing to fight for you, but It doesn't mean that he won't leave you for others in the future."

He paused for a moment, and said earnestly, "You have feelings for him, but you must also remember to protect yourself."

In one sentence, Gu Feidi was stunned on the spot.

His face was full of panic, he clenched the corner of his clothes, his throat trembled for a long time, and then he called out in a hoarse voice, "...Father?"

"You like him?" Gu Ruohai smiled wryly, although it was a question, his tone was determined.

Gu Feidi was tongue-tied for a while, then bit his lips between his teeth, avoiding to look into Gu Ruohai's eyes.

He tried to argue: "He and I are both men...how, how can I please him?"

Gu Ruohai sighed and did not continue this topic.

"Go back to your Asuka house and calm down. I will arrange for Fenglin to send Suyu to the Southwest Snow Mountain." He said calmly, "Some time ago when Lingyun came back and made a big fuss, I punished her in Xieyunju Think behind closed doors. You can go talk to her."

Gu Feidi frowned slightly: "Why did father punish Junior Sister?"

Gu Ruohai asked back, "You really don't know?"

"It's... because of Fan Xi?" Gu Feidi said, "Just because he came from the Green Curtain Sect, father felt that he was not good enough for my Tengyun Pavilion, and he didn't agree with my junior sister to associate with him?"

Gu Ruohai asked again: "When did my father have such a family background?"

Gu Feidi clenched his fists and forced himself to calm down.

Gu Ruohai sighed: "I punished her because she was instigated by a man to elope. The dangers women face outside and the accusations they will face due to elopement are more serious than men. The Green Curtain Sect Be it the Demon Cult or the Devil's Cult, I'm never worried about my background, do you understand?"

Seeing that Gu Feidi was still frowning, he said helplessly, "Forget it, when you become a father in the future, you will naturally understand."

Gu Feidi opened his mouth as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he silently shut up without saying anything.

"Go back and rest." Gu Ruohai said, "I asked them to prepare red bean cakes and sweet-scented osmanthus fermented glutinous rice, eat less, and have river fish for dinner."

"Father..." Gu Feidi called out in a low voice, "...one more thing."

"You said."

"When I was in the Devil's Cult, I met the leader of the Devil's Cult." Gu Feidi said, took out the letter from his arms, handed it forward with both hands, and said, "He asked me to give this letter to my father."

Gu Ruohai's eyes fell on the handwriting on the letter paper, and then slowly moved to the clump of green bamboo where the signature was written.

For a long, long time, there was no movement.

Gu Feidi looked up suspiciously, but couldn't see anything on his father's face.

It wasn't until there was a burst of crows chirping outside the window that Gu Ruohai came back to his senses, and stretched out his hand to take the letter from Gu Feidi.

"You go back first." He said.

Gu Feidi nodded and saluted, and slowly exited Gu Ruohai's room.

Before leaving the courtyard, he turned his head and saw the figure of Dao Yuanting and Yue Zhi still standing in the hall, motionless.

……

Su Yan didn't sleep well that night, he was always feeling restless for no reason, and would be awakened by the slightest noise around him.

As the sky was getting brighter, he turned over with a tired face and got up, deciding not to sleep for the time being, and to catch up on sleep at noon.

When Mei Shisan brought breakfast, Fan Xi finally woke up.

He hugged the quilt and looked at Su Yan with a bewildered expression. It took him a long time to react, and he jumped up from the couch.

"You really came to the Central Plains!" Fan Xi said in surprise.

Seeing the Tengyun Pavilion costume Su Yan was wearing again, he widened his eyes: "Did Gu Feidi bring you back to Tengyun Pavilion?"

Su Yan said: "No, he went home to deliver a letter, and asked me to wait for him here, and then we will go to the southwest together. But you, the matter with Pu Lingyun, it seems that it is not easy to handle?"

Fan Xi smiled wryly and said, "It's not just difficult, I don't know what to do now. Ling'er also went back to Tengyun Pavilion to deliver a message, but she was directly punished by Leader Gu to shut herself up and think about her mistakes. I don't know if she was scolded. I invited the leader to see me, but I kept getting rejected..."

"President Gu disagrees with your matter?" Su Yan was a little worried.

"Should not agree." Fan Xi said dejectedly, "After all, the Green Curtain Sect is just a small sect. It's both good and evil at best, and at worst... Heh, the world calls us weeds, you should too heard about it."

Fan Qi was dissatisfied when he heard this: "Second brother, how can you destroy your ambition like this! Now that elder brother starts to help father manage affairs, it will get better and better!"

Fan Xi sneered: "Brother? There is no such thing as a good thing in this Jianghu, but he thinks that my Qinglian School can be a gold ingot, and everyone likes it..."

Su Yan no longer has the mind to listen to the housework of the Green Curtain Sect, and now he is even more worried about Gu Feidi.

If League Leader Gu can't even accept the Green Curtain Sect, then how can he, the Holy Son of the Demon Sect...is still a man, be recognized and have a long and lasting relationship with Gu Feidi?

He knows that even in modern times, the family is very sad.What's more, the background here is ancient times when the succession of the family was the most important task.The leader of the Demon Cult's laissez-faire made him too slack before, and he didn't notice that he and Gu Feidi had actually reached the foot of a mountain that had to be climbed.

——And he actually decided not to enter the Tengyun Pavilion, completely throwing the pressure on Gu Feidi.

"Hey! You're back to your senses!" Fan Xi suddenly exclaimed.

Su Yan woke up from his thoughts and tried to comfort himself: It's okay, Gu Feidi went home this time, just to deliver a letter, not to confess to Leader Gu right away, so there should be no need to worry... right?

"Stop talking." He twitched the corners of his mouth, "Eat breakfast first. What are your plans for later?"

Several people sat down at the dining table, Fan Xi curled his lips: "I have to go back to the place where I live to clean up, and then go to Tengyun Pavilion to deliver invitations, and I have to go to work in the afternoon."

Su Yan was surprised: "Working?"

Fan Xi said: "What else? I stayed in Lanyang for more than [-] days, and the money I brought at that time was already spent. If I don't work, am I waiting to live on the street as a beggar?"

It was only when Su Yan was mentioned that he had to spend money that he realized that he never seemed to worry about spending money.So he immediately turned to look at Mei Shisan.

Mei Shisan said: "Holy Son, don't worry, we have enough money, and we have bank deposits in the Central Plains bank. We can use your seal at any time."

Fan Xi snorted lightly and said with a smile: "Holy Son, you are really a noble person, I am afraid that you have never worried about money."

Fan Qi looked bewildered: "Uh... Holy Son?"

Fan Xi: "Huh? Why don't you know each other? You don't know that he is Su Yan, the son of the Demon Cult?"

Fan Qi:! ! !

Fan Xi: "...Are you stupid! You don't know him, he asked you to bring me to his room, and you really brought me?! What if he chops me up and throws me into the river?"

Fan Qi refused: "I don't know him, but I know his sisters!"

Fan Xi was furious: "Where did the Holy Son of the Demon Sect get his sisters?!"

Fan Qi was confused immediately, and turned to ask Su Yan: "But I really saw a woman that day, who looked exactly like you..."

As he spoke, his voice became lower and lower, but his mouth grew bigger and bigger, as if he had discovered something extraordinary.

Fan Xi was taken aback, looked at Su Yan suspiciously, and asked uncertainly, "You don't know... pretending to be a man..."

Su Yang didn't take it seriously at all: "Well, a man disguises himself as a woman."

Fan Xi raised his eyebrows with great interest.

Fan Qi was not calm anymore: "What, what? What? That woman... that woman is you?!"

Ignoring Fan Qi's crumbling worldview, Su Yan said to Fan Xi, "If you need it, I can lend you some money first."

As for whether to use it or not, it is just a matter of his words.

Fan Xi refused: "No, if I can take root in Lanyang City by myself, it would be more reasonable to go to Tengyun Pavilion every day to send greetings. Wuyou, if you want her to suffer together with me, I won't bear it either."

Su Yan raised his hand and patted Fan Xi's shoulder: "You speak beautifully now, why did you get so drunk yesterday? I thought you were a drunkard because you were not in a good relationship."

Fan Xi grinned: "Yesterday I was in a bad mood, and I happened to have some extra money on hand, so I drank a few more drinks. I just happened to meet you."

As he said that, he rubbed his chin and stared at Su Yan for a long time, and said, "It's you, why didn't you feel worried at all when you let Gu Feidi go back to Tengyun Pavilion? If League Leader Gu knew about the two of you, it would be even more difficult... "

Su Yang was taken aback, and said in surprise, "Why do you..."

Fan Xi blinked at him: "At any rate, I've been here. Back then when you two rode a white horse together in the wilderness, I didn't pay attention to it at first, but after a little careful observation, I noticed it naturally."

After a pause, he whispered: "You and him are both men, and good and evil are opposites. If he and you are not in the same heart... Holy Son, the world will never stand by your side."

Su Yan smiled and said, "Of course he and I are of the same mind."
