At this moment, the sun was already high in the sky, and the sunshine in Hexi brought people a hint of warmth, not as hot as the previous few days, and the cool wind was wrapped with a hint of warmth, just right.

Li Mengzhou's face was still a little pale, but his expression was not at all panicked. Instead, he looked at Xu Hexian with a smile and said, "There is no big difference between walking fast or walking slowly on the road. The important thing is that you know which direction you want to go, so it's okay to go a little faster."

Xu Hexian raised his eyebrows slightly and smiled, "This is very interesting. You are indeed the fastest-rise disciple of Ligong Sword Academy. I have underestimated you before."

He turned and sighed softly, "Behind you, Xue Wangyou, support you, and even Jiang Tingyu from Tianshu Courtyard is protecting you. It can be said that you have encountered the luckiest things in the capital. On the surface, this is indeed your chance, but some opportunities are not capable of touching them. The so-called double-edged sword is the same. The more famous you are, the more people you praise you, but at the same time, you will lose a lot, and even fall into the abyss and never get up again."

Li Mengzhou seemed not to understand Xu Hexian's meaning and said, "The opportunity that belongs to me can only be mine, and no one can take it away. I will seize this opportunity and make good use of it. This does not require Xu Sishou to worry about me."

Xu Hexian looked at Li Mengzhou quietly and smiled, "You are much smarter than I imagined, and you have good luck, but luck will eventually be of useless day. Enjoy your days to come. I've already set my sights on you."

......

Gu Shiyan, who returned to Chaosi Lane, sat comfortably on the rattan chair under the eaves, enjoying a moment of tranquility, looked at Li Mengzhou sitting on the steps, and said softly: "Although I don't agree with Xu Hexian's words, some of the words he said still make some sense."

"What you want to do is ultimately contrary to the court's thoughts. Tianshu Court may be able to protect you, but when you are completely exposed, Tianshu Court is likely to be the place to ruin you."

Li Mengzhou frowned slightly and said softly: "In the capital, I don't trust anyone. My relationship with Aunt Feng is just a relationship between neighbors. It may be a similar yearning for family affection with everyone in the gentle village. The people in Ligong Jianyuan should be the one I trust the most."

"The mountain gate itself is not as complicated as the court, especially the Jian Gate, who mostly have a happy mind and are very simple people, but I know very well that if it is related to my life, I only trust myself the most."

Gu Shiyan didn't think there was something wrong with these words. Everyone is selfish. It is very difficult to trust someone completely in a short period of time and even give the back to the other party.

She didn't care that Li Mengzhou's words did not appear. After all, the relationship between the two seemed a little weird and not very close, but they lived under the same roof. In their hearts, they just regarded each other as strangers who were quite familiar.

But sometimes it is very easy for people to get along with each other.

There must be something happening when you see it, but it is unlikely to hand over your life to the other party.

But after a while, there will be some changes in the end.

Just like when Li Mengzhou abandoned her and ran away, Gu Shiyan didn't feel angry, but instead felt a sense of inexplicable trust, thinking that Li Mengzhou would definitely come back to save her, so Gu Shiyan did not resist anymore and was taken back to Xuanzhengsi by Zhu Zaitian.

But this feeling is rather subtle, and does not mean that when you are facing a dead end, both parties can calmly put aside their selfishness.

Perhaps this situation occurs, in addition to spending many days together under the same roof, it is more that the purpose of two people is the same, and they are all alone and need help from each other.

So under this premise, they can selectively hand over their backs to each other completely for some trivial matters that they don’t have to worry about.

......

Ning Haoran stood in front of the small hut in the lake away from the courtyard of the palace, reached into his arms, took out the small wooden sword that the sword immortal king Chengyue gave him, and crossed the threshold with a serious expression.

A scent of wine floats in the hut made by green bamboo. A sniff is a great boost of energy.

In addition to Xue Wangyou, there were also third senior sisters sitting in the room.

Two people were using breakfast.

Of course, wine is essential.

Xue Wangyou thought that instead of letting the mistress come and steal wine, it would be better to be generous and share a pot of wine happily.

Of course, the two pots of wine placed in front of the two people have considerable differences in size and alcohol storage.

Although the third senior sister still had no expression change, she was also secretly muttering that the teacher was so stingy.

Ning Haoran stepped into the door and looked at this scene, and it seemed a little surprised. After all, it was rare for the teacher to sit and drink with the third senior sister, because every time the third senior sister came, the teacher hurriedly hid the wine.

In addition to not being willing to share the wine with his apprentice, the third senior sister's alcohol tolerance is really hard to say. Moreover, once she becomes drunk, the third senior sister's idea of ​​writing begins to be understood. For Xue Wangyou, writing such a boring thing is tantamount to torture.

He first bowed to Xue Wangyou and bowed to him, and said, "Teacher", and then bowed to his third senior sister as a tribute.

The third senior sister pointed her eyebrows lightly, and there was a rosy look on her cold face, and her eyes were still clear, which meant she was not much drunk. However, her red face made the third senior sister's arrogant personality look more cute and cute, making her heart tremble slightly.

Xue Wangyou waved his hand, breathed a sip of alcohol, and said casually: "I have been waiting for you for a long time, and I have been back to the capital long ago, but I haven't returned to the mountain gate. Could it be that I have met some little girl on the way?"

Ning Haoran smiled bitterly and said, "Teacher, don't joke with me. It's because Junior Brother Li encountered some trouble, so I took a walk."

Xue Wangyou didn't ask anything. Obviously, he was very clear about what Li Mengzhou had encountered in the capital. He just said impatiently: "Why are there so many nonsense? Has the things that the teacher asked you to do? "

Ning Haoran moved forward and respectfully handed the small wooden sword in his hand to Xue Wangyou, saying, "Although I have been delaying for a while in the Sword Pavilion, I have also seen that Sword Immortal Senior, who lives up to his mission."

Xue Wangyou took the Xiaomu sword and said slowly: "That sword fairy has not seen her for many years. It is a blessing that you can see him. I thought you couldn't do it, but I didn't expect that she was underestimating you for the sake of her teacher."

Ning Haoran was worried with a headache, could the teacher ask his disciples to go to Jiange to ask for Jianxian Zhenyi just talked about it?

Xue Wangyou ignored what Ning Haoran was thinking, slowly got up, and found a jade box from somewhere, carefully placed the small wooden sword inside, and then found a secret place to store it. After a moment of silence, he turned around and looked at Ning Haoran and said, "You have returned all the way and went to the border halfway. I think the true meaning on the wooden sword will remain on you. Even if it is just a trace of the true meaning, it will be of great benefit to you. I will understand it in the mountain gate in the near future."

Ning Haoran said in surprise: "Since it is the true meaning of the Sword Immortal, how dare the disciples understand it rashly?!"

Xue Wangyou was furious and glared at him and shouted: "What is your mind? This little wooden sword has been left on you for so long, and the trace of true meaning that has been edified should be yours. Even if you don't understand it, it will disappear. Are you an idiot?"

Ning Haoran dared not speak loudly and felt very wronged.

But deep down, he also longed to understand the true meaning of the sword immortal.

But I felt that this idea was wrong, so I saw that the third senior sister was looking up at him. Ning Haoran was slightly stunned and said a little embarrassedly: "Senior Sister Third, if you ask me to bring me to Xu Beihan, I have already brought it. He also asked me to help bring back a word to the third senior sister."

Senior Sister Nodded, meaning you should say it.

Ning Haoran exhaled and said, "He said he is not an idiot, and thanked the third senior sister for thinking he is very good."

Senior Sister Third shook her head and said, "It's really an idiot."

She turned around and continued to drink silently, obviously not very interested, and her eyes narrowed slightly, thinking about whether she would write a copybook about wine today.

Xue Wangyou lay on the chair and glanced at the third senior sister cautiously, thinking that she might get drunk if she drinks it. She quickly waved to Ning Haoran and said, "Have you ever seen that woman with clear swordsmanship in the Sword Pavilion?"

Ning Haoran replied: "Not only did I see it, but I also competed with swords."

Xue Wangyou said: "How do you think of this rumored sword cultivator with the highest qualification?"

Ning Haoran recalled carefully for a moment and said seriously: "The girl should be one year younger than Junior Brother Li, but she has already crossed the threshold of the four realms. Although she is not my opponent, the gap is not very big. Perhaps within a few years, her name will spread throughout the world. The so-called Sword Sect has the highest qualification, and it is well deserved."

Xue Wangyou sneaked and looked at the third senior sister who was already showing a little drunkenness and blushing face suddenly stood up and walked out the door, saying at the same time: "I am very interested in my teacher, so I will take a good look at your achievements in practice."

......

In Xuanzhengsi, Xu Hexian sat behind the desk and watched carefully the process of Li Mengzhou from Shuning Town to the capital that the intelligence personnel investigated, as well as everything he did after he arrived at the capital, and vaguely felt that some problems seemed to have been ignored by him.

Because of the failure of Li Mengzhou to kill Dan Tai Jing, Jiang Tingyu beat him up with a blow. That night, he was called to the imperial study by His Majesty the Emperor. A meaningful conversation made Xu Hexian quite depressed.

It was precisely because he failed to do something even more excessive to Li Mengzhou, and Jiang Tingyu couldn't really do anything to him, but this game was defeated very badly, and the feeling was no better than falling directly from the position of the Chief of the Xuanzhengsi.

Xu Hexian should be very unwilling to accept it.

He didn't know what he wanted to get, but he repeatedly looked at the documents about Li Mengzhou's past and sat there for a whole day. Until night fell, a trace of brightness suddenly shone in his eyes.

At the beginning of the hour of the Hai hour, Xu Hexian walked out of Xuanzhengsi alone and headed towards the inner city under the night.
