the next day.

temple.

The sun is shining brightly, the sky is high and the clouds are clear.

It was rare for Xiao Shuiling to have some time. After all these days of fighting and killing, he finally thought of someone. He murmured to himself: "I haven't seen him for a while." Having said this, without hesitation, he brought some good wine.

Good food, I ran down the mountain and headed towards Donglai Town.

In the town, the people still worked at sunrise and rested at sunset. The bustling people, in order to survive, did not care about the impact of the war between the two sides. But the dilapidated temple still looked deserted and empty.

"Senior? Are you in the house?"

In the dilapidated house, the old beggar was meditating and practicing attentively. When he heard the shout, he immediately became excited, "Girl, is it you? Come on, come on in!"

Xiao Shuiling walked into the room with a smile, "Senior, I'm here to see you!"

The old beggar laughed and cursed: "You girl, you stinky girl! I don't know, old beggar, I can't eat or drink every day, so why are you here now?!"

Xiao Shuiling's eyes were a little gloomy and she said: "Senior, you also know that we are currently working with Lin Yijian..."

"No need to say it." The old beggar suddenly waved his hand, and the joy he felt just now disappeared. At this moment, even Xiao Shuiling was a little scared. "Lin Yijian... He has changed. And he didn't expect that he has changed so completely...

…”

"senior……"

The old beggar picked up the wine flask and took a sip, looking very disappointed. "Girl, tell me, how are the battles fought these days?"

Xiao Shuiling knew that he would not hear any news at all, but he just didn't know the details. So he told the old beggar exactly what happened during the war.

The old beggar asked: "Why, Lin Yijian has killed and injured so many people, and he still refuses to retreat?"

Xiao Shuiling shook her head: "Yes. It seems that he has made up his mind to fight to the death with the Heavenly Girl Sect."

The old beggar sighed and continued drinking.

Xiao Shuiling looked at him, a glimmer of hope rising in her heart: "Senior, the war is going on like this, why don't you take action?"

After the old beggar was silent for a moment, a look of arrogance suddenly appeared in his eyes, and the aura emanating from his whole body seemed to swallow up the world!

Xiao Shuiling was deeply shocked. After all, she had been a holy princess for so many years and was worshiped by thousands of people. But in front of him, this kind of momentum competition was nothing more than a big one.

When the old beggar spoke, he was filled with endless vicissitudes and sorrow: "How many years have passed since I thought I could spend my old age in peace, but now I have to leave the mountain again..." He looked back at Xiao Shuiling: "Okay, girl, I promise to help you.

"

Xiao Shuiling couldn't help but be happy when she heard this. She really didn't expect that the old beggar would agree, and she was stunned for a moment.

The old beggar smiled and said, "What are you doing standing still?" He looked like he was relying on his old age, "Why don't you kneel down and thank me?"

Xiao Shuiling came to her senses and knelt down quickly: "Thank you, senior! Senior is willing to help..."

The old beggar smiled and said: "Okay, okay, there is no need to say so much, get up." Seeing Xiao Shuiling getting up, looking at her face with joy, he said again: "Girl, I promised to help you, but it's just that

, now Lin Yijian has bribed almost all the leaders of the big gangs and small sects, even if I come forward, it may not be effective."

Xiao Shuiling's excited eyes flashed with tears, "No, senior, as long as you are willing to come forward, all the heroes in the world will not disobey you."

The old beggar shook his head: "It's not that simple..."

Xiao Shuiling suddenly thought of something: "By the way, senior, how is your injury?"

The old beggar smiled: "It's the last day. I think after tonight, all the poison in the body will be discharged."

Xiao Shuiling was overjoyed: "Really?! Senior, that's great!"

"Yes." The old beggar said: "After so many years, I finally made it to this day!"

Xiao Shuiling said again: "Senior, let's do this. If I help you here tonight, won't you get better faster?"

The old beggar smiled: "Okay! It's just a good time for you to talk to me more."

night.

temple.

Everyone searched for Xiao Shuiling but couldn't find her. Xiao Guanhong wondered where her sister had gone.

When Xiao Shuiling disappeared, the one who was most worried was Bai Hu. She was the Holy Princess of the Heavenly Girl Sect. What would happen if Lin Yijian raised his troops to invade? But fortunately, the road was not open now, so there was no need to worry. Think about it, with Xiao Shui Ling's martial arts proved to be safe, so he went back to rest.

It was late at night. Everyone was almost asleep. Even the patrolling disciples were very relaxed. The road was not yet open, and they also believed that Lin Yijian would not come to attack, so why should they be anxious?

In Xiao Guanhong's room.

It was getting late, Xiao Guanhong yawned and was getting ready to sleep.

Just as he was about to go to bed, Shen Feiyan pushed him away.

Xiao Guanhong said with a smile: "What's wrong, wife? Why don't you let me sleep..."

Shen Feiyan looked at Xiao Guanhong and sighed: "The one who needs company most now is not me."

Xiao Guanhong said: "Ah? That's..."

Shen Feiyan said: "Have you thought about what to do with Miss Nangong?"

Xiao Guanhong was stunned for a moment.

Shen Feiyan said: "Brother Xiao, I can see that Miss Nangong really likes you. And don't you have any good feelings for her?" Then he said: "Brother Xiao, I told you, I want to be happy Yes. Miss Nangong is a good girl, don’t let her down. Do you want her to become the next Qianer, the next Mei, Miss Mei..."

Xiao Guanhong was a little at a loss. "Then, Feiyan, what should I do next?"

"Go find her!"

"Now?" Xiao Guanhong hesitated: "It's so late..."

Shen Feiyan shook his head and said, "I didn't want you to come back."

"This..." Xiao Guanhong said: "Feiyan, I'm afraid you will be sad..."

"Okay, go ahead." Shen Feiyan said patiently, "Brother Xiao, I'm fine, really."

Xiao Guanhong let out a long breath: "Okay, I'll go right away."

Nangongyun's room.

Nangong Yun was lying on the bed, feeling restless and with tears in her eyes. Ever since she came to the Heavenly Girl Cult, she had been crying every night. She thought that Xiao Guanhong cared about her, so she betrayed everyone and came to find Xiao Guanhong. Who knows, she paid After spending so much, all I got in exchange was some comfort and advice like friends. Every night, looking at the empty room, all that was left in my heart was endless loneliness and sadness.

Is it true that an infatuated woman is a betrayer of her heart... If he really didn't like me, why did he make a promise in the first place? And why did he let himself fall in love with him and give up everything for him. Thinking about it, I couldn't help crying. .

Xiao Guanhong was walking to Nangong Yun's door. Hearing the faint cry, his heart was as sharp as a knife. Is she crying because of herself... This cry tortured Xiao Guanhong more than stabbing him with a sword!

"Miss Nangong, I am Xiao Guanhong, can I come in?"

"Brother Xiao?" Nangong Yun was lying on the bed, feeling startled and equally happy. She wiped her tears and put on her clothes, "Come in."

Xiao Guanhong entered the door and looked at the nearly exhausted kerosene lamp and the empty, bleak house with no decorations. Then he looked at Nangong Yun, who was sitting on the bedside, haggard but looking at him expectantly, and felt unbearable.

Did she spend so many days and nights like this...

"Miss Nangong." Xiao Guanhong was sitting on her bedside. He seemed to have discovered something, and the corners of his eyes moved slightly. He reached out and gently wiped the tears on Nangong Yun's face, and couldn't bear it: "You are crying."

"I...I..." Nangongyun couldn't bear Xiao Guanhong seeing her sadness: "I'm fine..."

Seeing her cry, Xiao Guanhong also had the urge to cry. He couldn't help but hugged her gently.

Nangong Yun leaned in Xiao Guanhong's arms and felt that this was the happiest time for her these days.

Holding Nangong Yun in his arms, the love and guilt in Xiao Guanhong's heart kept pouring out. Thinking of everything this woman had done for him, thinking of his escape all these days and nights, he wanted to slap himself in the face. A girl of fifteen or sixteen years old,

For herself, she abandoned everything and gave up life and death. But what about herself? What she brought to her was endless waiting and tears in the dark night...

Xiao Guanhong couldn't help but move his face towards her, wanting to kiss her. But the moment he moved closer, he stopped. Various voices flashed in his mind. If he really married her, Feiyan,

Do you really not care at all? Moreover, for Feiyan, I deeply hurt Mei Shimei. If I can accept Nangong Yun now, why couldn't I accept Mei Shimei in the first place?!

Xiao Guanhong kept reprimanding himself, and also told himself soberly. Originally, Nangong Yun did not belong here. She should have her own life, a happy life. Now that the war is coming, maybe no one can live for many days. Maybe,

The best protection for Nangong Yun is to let her leave here and let her pursue her own life.

If something happens tonight, Nangong Yun will definitely fight with me or even die. No, we must not let it happen!

The only way to stop it is to completely wake up Nangong Yun and let her leave with peace of mind. Therefore, he must tell her everything that is in his heart.

Nangong Yun originally thought that Xiao Guanhong was going to kiss her, so she relaxed her body, thinking that she had finally got the love she had longed for. But Xiao Guanhong stopped moving in the end.

Xiao Guanhong loosened his grip on Nangong Yun, looked at Nangong Yun's disappointed eyes, and said cruelly: "Miss Nangong, there are some things I want to talk to you about."

Nangong Yun asked: "What are we talking about?" She had a bad feeling, but she also thought that it would not be a bad thing if everything was talked about.

Xiao Guanhong hesitated for a long time, "Where should I start with this..."

Nangong Yun smiled when she saw this, but there was no trace of joy in her smile. "Just say whatever comes to mind."

Xiao Guanhong told her everything about his relationship with Mei Ruxue, how he regretted his marriage for Shen Feiyan, and how he deceived Nangong Yun to save Di Yan.

Xiao Guanhong talked for a long time... After hearing what he said, Nangong Yun's heart was broken. She knew very well why Xiao Guanhong said this. She took a long sigh and said: "Brother Xiao, when you tell me this, do you want to say that you are doing this for

Sister Shen has abandoned so many things, so it is impossible to do anything sorry to her. And you want to tell me that you don't like me at all and taking me to elope is just an excuse, right?"

Faced with such a direct inquiry, Xiao Guanhong blushed a little, and finally gritted his teeth and said, "I'm sorry, Miss Nangong, that's it."

Nangong Yun shed tears, but smiled: "Brother Xiao, you should have told me earlier. You should have told me such a thing earlier."
