Yu Shiqi took a wooden stick and fiddled with the firewood in the campfire, trying to make the fire burn brighter.

"No matter how much you plow such thin dead branches, it's useless." Yu Youci, who was sitting opposite, held his chin in his hands and stared at Yu Qi's face expressionlessly.

"Then I'll go pick up some nearby." Yu Shiqi said, getting ready to get up.

"Senior, don't bother, Jingchen and I have already picked up a lot." Lu Chengshi's voice came from the side.

A gray cloth bag was placed next to Yu Shiqi. There was half a bag of dead branches and leaves in it, enough for a bonfire to burn for one night.

Yu Shiqi said to Lu Chengshi: "I'm not from Yunzhongjian, so you don't need to call me senior."

"I am a student of Teacher Bu Shechuan." Lu Chengshi sat down by the campfire and smiled at Yu Shiqi and said, "Yun Jingchen is the same. The teacher often talks about you and says you are his favorite student. So in

It seems to me that you are half of our senior brother."

"What's so great." Yun Jingchen kicked a stone, "He is no longer Yun Zhongjian, I don't recognize any senior fellow apprentice. Hey, the surname is Yu, you are bored when you are idle, come and compete with me

How about that?"

"My surname is Yu, too." Yu Youci glanced at him dissatisfied.

Yun Jingchen was stunned for a moment, and quickly apologized to Yu Youci, then stared at Yu Shiqi with a fierce expression to challenge him.

"I have...sworn not to hold a sword anymore." Yu Shiqi shook his head, "It was witnessed by Teacher Bu Shechuan, Captain Zhou of Yunzhongjian and the Master of Jiuque Sect."

Yun Jingchen frowned and sneered: "What does it matter? Swearing is nothing. You are in Xihuang, there are only three of us here, no one else will know."

"An oath is an oath and cannot be broken easily." Yu Shiqi said lightly.

"Senior, you must have something to hide, right?" Lu Chengshi asked tentatively, "Otherwise, why would you quit Yunzhong Sword and no longer be a knight-errant swordsman of the Desolate Sect?"

Yu Shiqi deliberately avoided the question and just said, "It's all in the past" and didn't want to talk about it anymore.

"In addition to swearing, you also received a secret curse, right?" Yu Youci said this suddenly.

Yu Shiqi looked surprised, while the other two looked confused.

"What is the secret spell? Miss Yu, do you know?" Lu Chengshi said with curiosity in his tone.

"It is a powerful spiritual suggestion, which must be supplemented by a curse seal. He not only swore not to hold the sword, but also accepted the secret spell of the clan master association." Yu Youci said slowly, "If he breaks the oath and holds the sword,

The sword will be counterattacked by the secret curse."

"What will happen?"

"It must be very painful." Yu Youci looked at Yu Shiqi and said.

"Real or fake? Why do I feel like it's a bluff?" Yun Jingchen sneered, walked to Yu Shiqi, and deliberately asked in a sinister tone: "Brother, is the secret spell real or fake? Have you tried it?

ah?"

Before Yu Shiqi could answer, he took off his sword and threw it next to Yu Shiqi: "How about giving it a try? Just hold the hilt of the sword and show it to us. I also want to see it."

Lu Chengshi stopped him and said, "Jingchen, stop fooling around."

Yu Shiqi laid the painting box flat behind him, put the old felt blanket on it, lay down with the painting box on his back and said: "The business travelers have all rested, so let's talk a little lower. After all, we are borrowing someone else's property."

."

"Senior is such a good person." Lu Chengshi said with emotion.

"It's nothing." Yu Shiqi felt a little uncomfortable being complimented like this. He thought of the girl Xilingyue he met in Xiyue Spring before, and for some reason he felt more comfortable getting along with her.

Yun Jingchen probably felt bored too, so he walked away from Yu Shiqi.

"Let the three of us take turns to keep vigil," Yu Youci suggested.

"Then I will be responsible for the first shift." Lu Chengshi responded.

Yun Jingchen didn't seem to have any objections and just went to lie down aside.

As soon as Yu Shiqi closed his eyes, he heard a rustling sound beside him, and then asked about the faint fragrance of roses. He opened his eyes and turned over, and found Yu Youci lying on his side within arm's reach.

, supporting his head on his arms, looking at himself with a pair of big watery eyes.

"What...what's wrong..." He was a little nervous.

"Long time no see, look at you."

There seems to be no problem with this reason, but Yu Shiqi always feels that it is not that simple. This sister has been very smart since she was a child, but being too smart will inevitably appear to be scheming. They used to be brother and sister, and with this blood relationship as a filter, Yu Shiqi did not

I thought there was nothing wrong with her being smart, but it seems to be different now.

"Don't you have anything to ask me?" Yu Youci pouted, which was a habitual action she often did when she was a child.

"How have you been doing with Master and Mistress these past few years?"

"My father is fine, but my mother misses you a little every festival."

This is similar to what he thought. The master is an upright man, and he won't have too much worry if he knows that he is wandering around. But the master's wife is actually a woman with a very soft heart. Don't look at the fact that when she was young, she was also a swordsman and swordsman in Yunzhongjian.

She is a swordsman, but she is the one who has cared for Yu Shiqi the most over the years.

"Will you go back to see them in the future?" Yu Youci asked.

"Yes." Yu Shiqi replied without thinking.

"Then you... still hate me?" Yu Youci paused when she asked this question, her eyes vaguely revealing her worry about the answer to this question.

"I have never hated Xiaoci." Yu Shiqi smiled softly.

Yu Youci's cheeks turned slightly red. Just when she was about to speak, she heard him say seriously: "In my heart, you will always be my sister."

"Go away, who is your sister?" Yu Youci's face changed in an instant, and she turned her back and ignored him.

He smiled helplessly, looked up at the bright moon in the night sky, and suddenly felt a little homesick.

Tomorrow I will paint Tianque Peak. After painting, I will go back to Jingrong to meet the customer, and then I will almost be on my way home... A heavy sleepiness came over me, and Yu Shiqi closed his eyes in the beautiful idea.

"Senior, senior... wake up quickly."

There was something wrong with Lu Chengshi's voice. Contrary to the calm impression he gave before, he looked very panicked.

Yu Shiqi woke up with a start, pinched his thigh hard to regain consciousness quickly, frowned and asked Lu Cheng with his eyes.

Judging from the sky, it must still be midnight. I don't know what happened to make Lu Chengshi wake up in such a hurry. Yu Shiqi had a vague premonition in his heart.

"Senior, Yu Youci is missing... After I found out, I asked Yun Jingchen to look for him, but he didn't come back either," Lu Chengshi said uneasily.

Yu Shiqi asked seriously: "How long have they disappeared?"

"I discovered that Miss Yu disappeared two moments ago when she was changing her night shift. Jingchen was gone for about the same amount of time."

"Which way is Yun Jingchen going? East or west?"

"West."

Yu Shiqi took off the felt blanket covering his body and stood up, and said to Lu Chengshi: "I'm going to the west to have a look, you..."

"Then I'll go to the east." Lu Chengshi replied quickly.

Just as he was about to leave, Yu Shiqi suddenly felt Lu Chengshi pull him, and turned around to see him handing him a sword.

"This is Yun Jingchen's sword. Senior, please take it with you so that you can defend yourself if anything happens."

Yun Jingchen was too reckless and went out to look for someone without bringing his sword.

Although Yu Shiqi felt that he would not be able to use this sword, he thought of Lu Chengshi's kindness, so instead of refusing, he might as well accept it temporarily.

"Thank you."
