Dawn is coming.

The eastern sky began to turn white, the stars disappeared, and the vast sky was dyed a dreamy rose color.

The darkness in the house seemed to be blown away by the morning breeze.

The young man was wearing a green shirt, holding a writing brush, sitting next to the desk, his handsome face as clear and clean as morning dew.

"Miss Lu," Gu Xu said softly, "Actually, I don't mind. Really."

Lu Shiyao's remnant soul did not respond.

The only sound in the quiet room was her suppressed sobs.

Gu Xu sighed.

He knows that man is a magical creature.

They can be very strong and can withstand any unimaginable pain when necessary; but in the end they always fall easily in a very soft place.

For example, the remnant soul of Lu Shiyao, for the obsession of revenge, had waited tenaciously for fifteen years in this long night, but when it saw the dawn, it could no longer restrain the urge to cry.

Gu Xu felt that he should try to comfort this painful girl.

According to her mood record on the colorful flower paper, she almost never smiled after her mother's death.

Therefore, Gu Xu hopes that when she disappears from the world, she can temporarily let go of her past sorrow.

"Miss Lu...Shiyao?"

"……Um?"

"Has anyone told you before that your name is very nice?"

"No...no."

"Did your father name you this?"

"No, it's... it's my mother."

"Now, I want to tell you seriously," Gu Xu turned around with a smile as bright as the morning sun, "'Miss Lu, you have a nice name.'"

"Thank...thank you."

"Because... the moment I heard your name for the first time, I thought of a sentence - 'Life is not just about the present, but also poetry and distance.'"

Lu Shiyao didn't say a word, but her sobbing suddenly stopped.

She was listening to him carefully.

"Qi Ling once said that she felt very sorry because we did not live in the same era," Gu Xu paused for a moment, then continued, "Actually... I feel very sorry for this too.

"Because, if we were born in the same era, I would at least have a competitor who is equally matched in talent and learning, and I would be able to experience the joy of meeting an opponent.

"Instead of being like now, I can only stand alone on the top of the mountain and sigh alone, 'how lonely it is to be invincible'."

Lu Shiyao suddenly laughed out loud.

Her laughter is like her person, soft, restrained and restrained.

But Gu Xu could feel that her mood seemed to have become much more relaxed.

"Young Master is so confident," she said in a hoarse voice.

"Thank you for the compliment." Gu Xu responded with a smile.

Chu Fengge stood aside, silently listening to the conversation between the two.

"How come Gu Xu is a braggart better than me?" He couldn't help complaining in his heart.

…………

When the first ray of sunlight shone into Suxueyuan, Gu Xu stood up and left this room with Chu Fengge that had shed tears and blood.

The moment he crossed the threshold, he looked back for one last look, and then walked forward unswervingly.

He also rushed to the Exorcism Department of Qingzhou Prefecture to collect his merits, which he could use to exchange for elixirs and improve his cultivation.

Sadness and melancholy are undoubtedly extremely luxurious emotions for him.

His life in this world had just begun, and it was already dusk.

He must seize every minute and every second and run forward with all his strength in order to seize the slim glimmer of hope before death catches up with him.

…………

After walking through the verandah, passing through the courtyard, passing through the hall and the hanging flower door, and bypassing the colorful screen wall of the south gate, Gu Xu and Chu Fengge finally walked out of the main gate of Luzhai.

Wei Jiusi, from Qianhu Household in Qingzhou Prefecture, had already prepared his carriage and was waiting for them outside the gate.

And those practitioners of the Exorcist Department who had been trapped in the haunted house were leaving this terrifying ice prison one after another at this time, with the joy of surviving the disaster clearly written on their faces.

"Master Gu successfully solved the evil-doing ghosts in the haunted house. He is really a great contributor to our Qingzhou Mansion." As soon as he saw Gu Xu, Wei Jiusi immediately welcomed him into the carriage and said enthusiastically, "Sure enough, as rumored, he is young and talented.

To be wise and courageous.

"The Chief of Staff already knows about this matter. Mr. Gu, after you return to the Yamen, he wants to have an air conversation with you using the communication circle."

Wei Jiusi is a fifth-grade Qianhu, and Gu Xu is an eighth-grade experienced.

Logically speaking, Wei Jiusi could call Gu Xu by his first name.

However, maybe he felt that Gu Xu had an extraordinary background, maybe he was shocked by Gu Xu's amazing efficiency in solving the Lu family's haunted house overnight, or maybe he thought that Gu Xu was about to be rewarded and reused by the chief executive, but he inadvertently used

He was called "Sir".

"Thank you, Mr. Wei." The corners of Gu Xu's mouth raised slightly, but there was no smile in his eyes.

History is indeed a little girl who can be dressed up by anyone.

Inadvertently, the lonely and melancholy girl became a "ghost with many evil deeds"; and Tang Hui, who tortured and killed innocent people, became a gentleman who killed relatives for righteousness.

When boarding the carriage, Gu Xu took one last look at the abandoned Lu family's old house.

All I saw was that its walls were in ruins and there was no one around.

The ice and snow have long since melted.

The traces of blood have long since faded away.

It's like a bird that has eaten all its food and throws it into the forest, leaving a vast expanse of white and the earth is really clean.

At this time, Gu Xu suddenly found a pale pink flower note in his pocket.

He took it out and found a line of words written on it in beautiful small regular script with hairpin flowers:

"May everything go well for you, sir, and may you live forever."

…………

At the same time, inside Suxue Zhai.

The spirit of "Jinghong Pen" stood in front of the window, looking at the eastern sky.

Beside her, a slender girl appeared at some point.

Her body is translucent and floats three inches above the ground.

She was wearing a blood-stained plain white dress. Half of her face was extremely beautiful, but the other half of her face was bloody, dented and deformed, with hideous wounds.

There were also a pair of heavy shackles on her wrists.

The scars, shackles, and hoarse voice are all the marks left by hatred on her remaining soul.

Over the years, it was these hatreds that made her become a feared demon in Qingzhou Lu's house.

But now, she is looking at the rising sun with a silly smile on her face, like an innocent child.

At her feet, there were more than twenty pieces of torn colored paper scattered.

There are various messages written on the paper.

For example, "Lucky stars along the way, summoning the tripod and bells, rich literature, wealth and long life", such as "The joy of life lies in understanding each other", such as "Sincere friends are sincere, we can't miss each other", such as "The young master looks so similar when he smiles"

sunny"……

But she was not satisfied with any of them and tore them all into pieces.

In the end, what she put into Gu Xu's pocket was just a simple sentence - "May everything be well for you, sir, and may you live forever."

"Ah Hong, do you know what makes me happiest right now?" she said to Qi Ling's suicide.

"Miss, what is it?"

"I didn't let him see me in such an ugly state," she said with a smile. "In this way, the me he remembers will be the flawless me on the mural."

Qi Ling sighed softly.

She knew that her young lady had been growing up in an environment of indifference and lack of love. Any kindness from the outside world would be firmly recorded in her heart.

For example, Shu Yan was just fulfilling her duties as a maid to a large extent. But Lu Shiyao regarded her as a true friend and kept her by his side, for fear that she would leave.

The "Eternal Young Master" who just left today may be the same way.

Others thought that she was the famous "the most beautiful woman in Jiaodong", the most dazzling talented woman of the Lu family, and the proud daughter of heaven who mastered famous weapons.
