White cold air rose up like light smoke, floating silently in the Ice Stone Chamber. On this day, the cold air in the Ice Stone Chamber seemed to be much thicker than usual. Even looking over it, it felt a bit hazy.

, there is no longer the clarity of the past where one can see the bottom at a glance

The stone door made a low roar and slowly opened, but the slender figure that came into view seemed blurry for some reason.

Is it Yuji?

Gui Li thought like this in his heart, and walked slowly into the ice stone chamber. The faint cold air drifted away, and strands, like a dream, enveloped his figure. The woman's figure quietly turned her back to him,

Standing in front of the ice stone platform, the cold air around her seemed to be particularly heavy. Even the white air condensed by the cold air was like frost and snow, making it difficult to see what was going on.

In the air, the faint and crisp sound of bells echoes, as if it is close to your ears.

For some reason, Gui Li stopped subconsciously. Maybe it was because of what happened today. It was somewhat difficult for him to face You Ji, especially after You Ji loudly reprimanded and mentioned Baguio. Looking back, Gui Li felt in his heart

Although he was a little surprised by the Ghost King's uncharacteristic behavior today, he could only remain silent at his own behavior of counterattacking with all his strength without thinking.

Perhaps, in the hearts of the two men, there is already deep hatred buried in them?

However, there is still a Baguio in this world, and she is lying in this cold stone chamber.

Gui Li glanced at the vague figure hidden in the cold air, lowered his head silently, and said after a while: "I and the Ghost King Sect took action just now. It's my fault. I don't know how things suddenly turned out like this. Don't do it."

I won't be angry anymore. The figure's shoulders seemed to tremble, but he did not speak. He remained quiet, but the cold air around him seemed to be flowing faster. Even in the stone chamber, it seemed that

It was a bit cold too, but this ice stone chamber was always cold, so Gui Li didn't care.

He sighed and hesitated. He naturally knew about the relationship between Youji and Baguio. After Baguio's mother passed away, the Ghost King focused on the affairs of the Ghost King Sect, and Youji became more or less the mother of Baguio.

This can be seen from the fact that Baguio has always called Youji "Aunt You". Facing her now, especially in this ice stone chamber, Gui Li actually feels a bit like facing Baguio in real life.

And the guilt he felt towards Baguio was so deep that it was hard to express in words that he had to fight with the Ghost King today, almost to the point of life and death.

After a long time, he sighed and said in a low voice: "I know that you feel sorry for Baguio and don't want to see me having another dispute with her father. In fact, I had no intention of doing so, but at that time..." He frowned, thinking in his mind

The ghost king's abnormal expression just now flashed across his mind, and he shook his head and said: "Anyway, I promise you, in the future, for Baguio's sake, I will always give him a few points." The slender figure seemed to move again.

After a moment, she still didn't turn around, but looking at her back, she seemed to be nodding silently, indicating approval.

Gui Li was speechless for a moment. He took a deep breath and did not want to say anything more. He turned around slightly and wanted to walk towards the ice stone platform to take a good look at Baguio.

Just when he was about to take a step forward, suddenly, his whole body froze for a moment, like lightning, a thought passed through his mind, like thunder, roaring in his mind.

Why can't you see the black veil that You Ji never leaves her body when looking from behind? Almost at the same time, Gui Li's chaotic mind immediately thought of the hairstyle of this back figure.

, she looks exactly like a girl, completely different from the woman with a bun in Yu Ji’s bun.

He turned around like electricity and shouted loudly: "Who are you?" The cold air in the ice stone chamber instantly became bone-chilling, and the light smoke surrounding the back of the figure began to spin rapidly in an instant.

He was so wide-open that an outsider had invaded this ice stone chamber. This was absolutely unacceptable to him.

Just when Gui Li was about to make a move, a low roaring sound suddenly came from behind him. Gui Li was startled and uncertain, and turned around to look, only to see that the stone door that had been closed behind him slowly opened again.

, a figure appeared at the door

Slender and tall, with a black veil covering her face, and a delicate temperament, but who is she if she is not Youji?

You Ji opened the stone door, but suddenly she saw Gui Li with a strange expression on his face, his eyes were wide open, and the muscles on his face were twisted. Instead, he was startled and couldn't help but take a step back.

But she was not an ordinary person after all, so she calmed down and said in a cold voice: "Huh, do you still have the nerve to come here to see Baguio?" Gui Li stared at her deeply, and suddenly his face was startled, as if he had remembered something.

He quickly turned around to look at something extremely important, but at this glance, his whole body was shocked, as if he was stunned, and he stood there in silence, speechless.

The huge ice stone chamber, where he was, suddenly restored its original appearance. The strange floating white smoke disappeared, the faint sound of bells disappeared, and as for that mysterious figure from behind,

At this moment, he disappeared out of thin air.

Everything seems to be the same as before, like a dream, an illusion, drifting away, drifting away...

Baguio lay quietly on the ice stone platform, with the familiar smile still on the corner of her mouth. Between her hands, the light on the Albizia Bell was flickering, gently flowing, as if she was watching a ghost.

Li

Gui Li stood there, his whole body tense, as if he had lost all consciousness, motionless

You Ji, who slowly walked into the Ice Stone Chamber, quickly discovered that something was wrong with Gui Li. She glanced at him and frowned: "What are you doing?" The corners of Gui Li's mouth moved, but he didn't speak. He just raised his head silently.

, stared blankly at the Ice Stone Chamber. Except for the thick stone door, the Ice Stone Chamber was surrounded by hard stone walls without any gaps. But looking at it at this moment, those cold stone walls seemed a bit cruel.

To laugh, to look coldly at someone who looks a little funny

The wandering eyes slowly retracted, and slowly returned to the ice stone chamber. The ghostly eyes of the person lying on the stone platform were somehow blurry, and thousands of thoughts were rushing like a tide.

Come on, that gaze finally fell quietly on Baguio’s hair.

"What's wrong with you?" There was already a bit of impatience in You Ji's voice.

Gui Li closed his eyes, then slowly opened them after a long time, and whispered: "When you came in, did you see anything strange in this stone room?" Youji snorted and said in a cold voice: "What's strange?"

Aren't they all exactly the same as before? There was a table and a person. The muscles at the corners of Gui Li's eyes seemed to twitch.

Youji slowly sat down next to Baguio, with a look of love and regret in her eyes. After looking at it for a long time, she said slowly: "I know you are actually not having a good time, but I just hope you will think more about it. If Baguio knows

How would she feel if you actually started fighting with her father?" Gui Li was stunned and said nothing. After a moment, he suddenly shook his head, took a long breath, and said: "Don't worry, I know what to do.

'After that, he took another deep look at Baguio, then turned around and strode out.

Looking at his back, You Ji frowned slightly, intuitively feeling that Gui Li seemed to be different from usual, but then she sighed again, the strange person was not just him, but now he was

Isn't it the Ghost King Sect Master she has followed for many years that is becoming more and more difficult for her to understand?

She lowered her head silently and fell into deep thought. The ice-cold stone chamber was completely silent. Only the acacia bell in Baguio's hand was shining with brilliant light, like clear eyes, flickering non-stop, watching the world.

Qingyun Mountain, Xiaozhu Peak

In the early morning, there is a gentle breeze blowing slowly, and the green bamboo forest all over the mountain is swaying together. The sound of rustling bamboo waves is like the sound of nature, which makes people feel peaceful. Last night, there was a heavy rain, as if the whole world has been washed away, and the clean air caresses your face.

As we pass by, the mountains in the distance are covered with dark blue, and the landscape is picturesque.

The stone path under my feet was still wet. Occasionally, there was still some rainwater accumulated last night in the gaps between the stones. There were many falling bamboo leaves on and on both sides of the stone path. It must have been blown down by the wind and rain last night. It was too early.

No one has come to clean it yet

Dressed in white like snow, she is as delicate as dust. Lu Xueqi is alone, walking on the bamboo path in the morning breeze. Her hair is soft and draped on her shoulders. Looking at her skin that can be broken by a blow, there is still a hint of snow-white.

A hint of pink, like the beautiful flowers blooming quietly in the deep mountains and valleys

On both sides of the stone path, the tall bamboos swayed slightly, and there were condensed dewdrops on the green bamboo leaves, sliding quietly over and flying quietly to the earth.

She stepped forward without looking back, her white clothes fluttering, and she walked into the depths of the green bamboo forest.

The stone path was deep and winding, and the early morning light filtered in through the dense gaps in the bamboo forest. The bamboo shadows swayed slightly, illuminating her slim figure.

A simple bamboo house in front gradually appeared. It was the place where Master Shuiyue, the first master of Xiaozhufeng lineage, usually meditated and practiced.

Lu Xueqi walked to the hut, stopped at the door, hesitated for a moment, stretched out her hand and gently tapped the door made of bamboo.

'Master, my disciple Xue Qi pays my respects' 'Come in' Master Shuiyue's voice came out from the hut. It was neither happy nor sad. It seemed to have the slightest emotion, as light as water.

The door creaked, and Lu Xueqi gently pushed it open. Lu Xueqi walked in, and at a glance she saw the master sitting cross-legged on the bamboo bed, with his eyes closed and his expression calm. He could not see anything because of his arrival.

And the changing expression

Lu Xueqi silently walked to Master Shuiyue, knelt down, and whispered: "Master, the disciple is here." She paused, and then continued: "Xueqi knows that she is unworthy and has failed to live up to your expectations.

Master, I have made you sad, please punish me." Master Shuiyue slowly opened his eyes, and his gaze fell on Lu Xueqi in front of him. He stared at it for a long time, then sighed and said, "If I punish you, will you change your mind?"

Lu Xueqi lowered her head silently, not daring to look at her master's face, and didn't say a word. She just looked at her expression, but there was no sign of regret at all?

Master Shuiyue shook his head and said with a wry smile: "Since you are already hard-hearted and refuse to look back, what's the point of me punishing you? That's all, just get up." Lu Xueqi bit her lower lip slightly, and she seemed a little agitated.

I was excited, but I controlled myself and stood up

Master Shuiyue gently patted the bamboo couch beside him and said, "You sit down too." Lu Xueqi shook her head and said, "I don't dare." Master Shuiyue glanced at her and said, "There are just the two of us here."

What is there to care about? Could it be that you still hold grudges against me, the master, for being separated from me?" Lu Xueqi suddenly raised her head, shook her head hurriedly and said, "Master, I..." Master Shuiyue waved his hand and said with a smile, "Okay.

, Okay, you were raised and taught by me, don’t I know what your temper is like?” She reached out and took Lu Xueqi’s hand, gently pulled her over and sat beside her, and looked at her carefully.

Looking at Lu Xueqi's beautiful and elegant face, she sighed and said: "No matter what, I, as the master, am doing it for your own good. You must remember it." Lu Xueqi moved the corner of her mouth and whispered.

:'What I understand is that it is actually my fault...' Master Shuiyue shook his head and said: 'Forget it, now that things have happened, let's not argue about who is right and who is wrong. What is love in this world? Mu Xueqian

"Mountains...there are thousands of mountains and rivers, but who can really stay with me for a lifetime?" When he said this, Master Shuiyue seemed to have touched his mind, and he was stunned for a moment.

Lu Xueqi did not dare to disturb her master, but she felt the warmth coming from the master holding her palm, which was familiar after a long time.

I don't know how long it took, but Master Shuiyue was suddenly shocked and woke up from his trance. He smiled bitterly, as if he was a little self-deprecating, and then said to Lu Xueqi: "Hey, we will talk about these things later. I asked Wenmin to call you over last night."

"Did she tell you everything she did?" Lu Xueqi shook her head and said, "Senior sister didn't tell me. She just told me to come to Master early in the morning. If anything happens, Master will tell me."

Master Shuiyue nodded silently and said, "That's right. Although that girl Wenmin knows a little bit, she doesn't know much after all. Let me tell you."

I was worried about something difficult, so I couldn't help but said: "Master, is there anything difficult? If there is a need for a disciple, just give me your instructions, and the disciple will try his best to do it." Master Shuiyue nodded and said with a smile: "Of course I believe you."

, but there is indeed a major event at the moment, but it is a major matter related to the strength of my Qingyun Sect, but I cannot let too many outsiders, including our disciples, know about it. After thinking about it, I still think that you are the only one among the disciples, Daoxing.

Lu Xueqi raised her eyebrows and said in slight surprise: "Master, has something big happened to our sect?" Master Shuiyue smiled bitterly and said, "Who says it's not the case?" Lu Xueqi said.

Said: "What happened, Master?" Master Shuiyue pondered for a moment, seemed to be thinking about it, and then slowly said: "Your master, uncle, and Uncle Tian Buyi from Dazhu Peak, a few days ago

"They disappeared together." Lu Xueqi was shocked and asked, "Did they disappear together?" Master Shuiyue said calmly: "That day, a Changmen disciple saw Tian Buyi coming to Tongtian Peak and went straight to the Houshan Patriarch's Ancestral Hall.

Since these days, everyone knows that the head senior brother is almost always in the ancestor's ancestral hall, and since then, no one has seen them again." Lu Xueqi frowned, obviously very surprised
