PS: I didn't get the time to write today … I'll come back tomorrow. I feel that these chapters have too many emotional scenes, but I'm afraid that the foreshadowing isn't good enough, causing the characters' emotions to change abruptly, so I'm quite conflicted.
Although they were in the Black Prison and could not see the light of day, Mu Zixuan and Ning Youyou were both willing to accompany the person they liked. Because she had unloaded the burden in her heart, Ning Youyou, who had always been talkative, became ten times more talkative than before. She spoke of her background, experiences, and even the grievances she had suffered and the interesting things she had experienced. She seemed to want to use this method to make up for the debt she owed to Mu Zixuan.
At first, Mu Zixuan could talk with her, but after talking for half a day, her mouth was dry and her tongue was dry. Secondly, her daily life was to practice the sword under Gu Jiansheng's constraints. It was monotonous and repetitive, and there was nothing good to talk about. In the end, it became Ning Youyou talking non-stop, while Mu Zixuan lovingly caressed her head through the bars, quietly listening to her.
After talking for a while, Ning Youyou realized that Mu Zixuan hadn't interrupted for a long time. She stuck out her tongue and said, "Brother Xuan, do you think I'm too talkative?"
Mu Zixuan joked, "It's okay, I'm already mentally prepared. After all, you're a genius who can play two roles and talk to yourself!"
Ning Youyou pinched his waist in protest, saying, "Actually, I'm not that talkative. I only talked so much with my little cousin before. After my little cousin passed away, I didn't have anyone to talk to, so I kept all my words bottled up in my stomach."
"Passed away? How did she die? "
Ning Youyou said angrily, "You're the one who died. My cousin is only ten this year. She's obedient and very cute. She doesn't understand anything I say, and her mouth is tight, so I like to tell her everything that's on my mind. For example, last time I put Uncle Ce's divination stick under his cushion, making him unable to get out of bed for three days. I shared it with her. "
"Don't use your cousin as a tree hole!" You'll lead children astray! "Mu Zixuan couldn't help but want to shout, but he resisted the urge and asked," Then where is your cousin now? "
Ning Youyou's voice sank. She said sadly, "Uncle … after that incident, he was also injured and passed away earlier than my mother. Cousin Sister was also brought back to her family's Overturned Waters Manor to learn the 'Art of Water Manipulation'. Wait … wait … for revenge."
Although the two of them didn't want to bring it up again, they still couldn't avoid this topic no matter how they went around in circles. After staying silent for a long time, Ning Youyou held Mu Zixuan's hand tightly and said resolutely, "Big Brother Xuan, I want to be the freest woman in the world. I want to eat what I want to eat, do what I want to do, and love the people I love. Sect disputes, past love and hatred … just thinking about it makes me vexed. You can say that I'm cold and heartless, or that I'm ungrateful. In any case, this Young Lady doesn't want to be bound by things that have nothing to do with me! You don't have to care about them anymore, okay? "
Mu Zixuan clasped her hand and smiled, "Of course. Just you alone is enough for me to think about for a lifetime. I don't have the mood to care about other people's business!"
"Sigh, sometimes you're too slow, but sometimes your words are better than anyone else's." Ning Youyou humphed and lowered her head. Although it was dark, Mu Zixuan could still see her blushing face. He felt a tingling sensation in his heart and wanted to spend some more time with her. However, he heard a 'bang' sound and the door opened. Sunlight shone into the dark cell and the figure walking in with his back to the light was graceful and graceful. Xiao Shuxuan had a sword hanging from his waist and the sunlight made him look like he was glowing. The person who came was Gu Jian Sheng.
When Gu Jian Sheng entered, he saw that Mu Zixuan's face was red and her clothes were in disarray. Ning Youyou's hair was in a mess, and she was still wet from the spring. They both looked like they were in love. He was unhappy and coldly snorted. He said to Mu Zixuan, "You, come out!"
Mu Zixuan was caught red-handed by her master and couldn't help but feel timid. She shrunk her neck and said, "This disciple is in confinement and doesn't dare to come out."
"You can't bear to come out!" Gu Jiansheng raised his eyebrows and released a sword qi, cutting through the iron chains that locked the prison door like cutting tofu. He urged, "Hurry up!"
Mu Zixuan squeezed Ning Youyou's hand, telling her not to worry. She followed Gu Jian Sheng out and said, "Master, this is a prison break …"
Gu Jian Sheng glared at her and said, "I've already talked to the Sect Master about this and he agreed to let you out."
"Then why did you directly cut the chains? It's not like you don't have a key …" Mu Zixuan said in a low voice. Halfway through her words, she saw Gu Jian Sheng's expression become more and more gloomy. She knew that there might be another sword qi coming at her, so she swallowed the rest of her words.
"Tomorrow, I will have a duel with Senior Brother Qingyue. Watching from the side will be very beneficial to you, so you shouldn't be absent. So your punishment of confinement for three days will be changed to thirty lashes. After tomorrow, you can go receive your punishment. "
"Then I really have to thank Master …" Mu Zixuan was speechless. She said with a bitter face, "Then Master, since I'm going to be beaten anyway, why don't I take Youyou's … Miss Ning's punishment as well. Whip me a few more times and then let her go."
Gu Jian Sheng looked at her coldly and said, "You have to pay for your crimes. The rules of the Ling Xiao Sword School are not child's play. Moreover, trespassing into the Scripture Pavilion is a big taboo no matter which sect it is. If you get whipped, you won't be able to bear it!"
Mu Zixuan heard the seriousness in his words and said, "It can't be that serious. She didn't steal anything. Moreover, the Taiyi Mysterious Scripture doesn't belong to our sect …"
"Nonsense!" Gu Jian Sheng reprimanded, "Do you know how big of a disaster she almost caused? That book might contain a method to kill a baby and obtain luck. How can it be spread to the world? Considering that she is young and ignorant, we have already given her enough leniency. However, the punishment that she deserves cannot be reduced."
"What do you plan to do with her?"
"According to the rules of the Jianghu, trespassing into another sect's forbidden area will result in death on the spot. If it's a light punishment, it will result in the destruction of her cultivation. There will be no complaints. The Ling Xiao Sword School has no intention to punish her, but it's reasonable to imprison her for three to five years!"
"Three to five years? With her personality, she will go crazy after being imprisoned for three to five days! Master, can you plead with the headmaster again? [Love ↑ Go △ Little ↓ Say △ Net w]
qu
Mu Zixuan sincerely said.
In fact, Gu Jian Sheng had already done so. From his point of view, firstly, he didn't want to argue with this little girl, and secondly, he wanted this girl to stay as far away from Mu Zixuan as possible. Therefore, he proposed to expel her and forbid her to step within ten miles of the Ling Xiao Sword School. However, this kind of dispensable punishment plan was naturally unable to convince the other elders, so it was completely useless. At this time, he kept a cold face and said nothing.
Seeing his expression, Mu Zixuan's heart sank. She stopped and said, "Master, she is afraid of the dark. I will send her a lamp and say goodbye …"
Gu Jian Sheng coldly glanced at her, but seeing that Mu Zixuan's gaze was stubborn and unyielding, he finally waved his hand and said, "Go, I will wait for you in front. Don't delay for too long!"
When Mu Zixuan's figure disappeared from his sight, Gu Jian Sheng's expression relaxed, but he couldn't help but let out a long sigh. Even if the 'unbearable' sword on his waist was one of the most famous blades in the world, how could he cut off this entanglement of love?
Mu Zixuan entered the cell again, holding a lamp filled with oil in her hand. Ning Youyou, who was huddled in the corner, saw the light and hurriedly came forward. Her speed was so fast that even Mu Zixuan couldn't help but praise, "Rushing over as soon as you see the light, are you a moth?"
"Go!" Ning Youyou rolled her eyes at him, took the lamp and said, "What did you say to your master?"
"Two pieces of news, one good and one bad. Which one do you want to hear first?"
"The bad one."
"According to the sect rules, you will probably be imprisoned for three to five years."
Ning Youyou pouted, "Three to five years? You might as well kill me. Then what's the good news? "
"I plan to elope with you." Mu Zixuan calmly said.
Ning Youyou's hand that was carefully holding the lamp suddenly trembled. She didn't even notice the hot oil splashing on her hand, "You, what did you say?"
Mu Zixuan casually said, "Don't make a fuss. Didn't I tell you before? With our entanglement of love and hatred, it would be a pity if we don't elope."
"What … what nonsense are you saying!" Ning Youyou's face turned red, but it was hard to tell if it was from embarrassment or happiness. She put the lamp on the ground, "You are the disciple of the Sword Crown Prince, your future is limitless. Being with me is destroying your own future. You … you are really willing …"
Mu Zixuan scratched her hair to hide her inner turmoil, "I really can't say I'm willing. After all, the sect has trained me for so many years, and Master … Although Master is a bit strict, I know he treats me very well. But if something like this happens, the sect will definitely not tolerate you, and if they can't tolerate you, they won't tolerate me either. So even if I'm reluctant, I have to go hide for three to five years."
Ning Youyou's heart warmed. She turned her head to the side and said, "Hmph, as long as you are willing, I … will do as you please … but, won't it be too dangerous?"
Mu Zixuan said, "Tomorrow is the inauguration ceremony, so it's a heaven-sent opportunity. My Master and Martial Uncle Qingyue will have a sword duel, so the sect's guard will definitely be lax. I will take advantage of that time to rescue you. But let me say this first, if anyone tries to stop you, you can leave on your own. Don't worry about me!"
Ning Youyou hurriedly protested, "How can I leave you behind? I object!"
"No matter how much trouble I cause, Master will take care of it. You're different. If you get caught again, I'm afraid I won't have another chance to rescue you!"
Ning Youyou shook her head like a rattle drum. "I don't care. If I object, I object. Otherwise, let's vote by raising our hands. The minority obeys the majority!"
"Why should we raise our hands?" Mu Zixuan couldn't follow her train of thought.
"I object." Ning Youyou changed her voice to that of Youyou and raised her left hand.
"I object too." Ning Youyou changed her voice back and raised her right hand. "Well, both Youning and I object. The minority obeys the majority. You have to listen to us!"
"Can't you be more serious? Why are you pretending to be a Soul-dissociating Syndrome patient!" Mu Zixuan couldn't help but want to twist her hair with her fist. She took a deep breath to suppress this impulse. "How about this? Don't you like to act according to divination? Throw a few copper coins to see the divination, and you'll know what to do."
"That's a good idea!" Ning Youyou agreed readily. She thought to herself that with her understanding of Yi Li, no matter how she explained the hexagram, it would all be up to her. However, as soon as the copper coin fell to the ground, her expression changed.
"Qian, Gen. This is the 'Escape' divination. It seems that you don't need to solve the divination!" Mu Zixuan laughed.
There are mountains in the world. When the mountains approach the sky, the sky retreats. When the mountains approach the sky, the sky retreats step by step. Yin grows and Yang disappears. When a villain gains power, a gentleman retires to protect himself and wait for an opportunity to save the world. This is the Escape divination. The answer was given from the name of the divination, leaving no room for Ning Youyou to misinterpret. Ning Youyou kicked the copper coins on the ground. "It doesn't count. It's not accurate this time."
Mu Zixuan coaxed, "Alright, don't throw a tantrum. This time, we'll act according to your divination. We've talked for long enough. It's time for me to go …"
Ning Youyou angrily hugged her knees and sat down. She looked at the light and ignored him.
Mu Zixuan rubbed her head and said, "Alright, don't throw a tantrum. Before the oil dries, I'll definitely get you out of this damned place." With that, she stood up and left.
"Brother Xuan!" Ning Youyou couldn't help but call out to him. She bit her lip and said with concern, "You … be careful!"
"I will!" Mu Zixuan nodded and closed the prison door.
The only light left in the prison was the bean-sized lantern. Ning Youyou hugged her knees and tilted her head. She looked at the flickering lantern with a blissful expression. From time to time, she would laugh. No one knew what she was so happy about.
Although it was only an oil lantern, it was enough to dispel the darkness.
-----
One day later, it was the day of the sword duel. Gu Jian Sheng woke up early as usual. When he stepped into the hall, he smelled a fragrant aroma. He saw Mu Zixuan enter with a porcelain cup. She said, "Master, you came at the right time. Sit down."
"What are you doing?"
Mu Zixuan proudly opened the lid. The steam from the cup was mixed with a unique fragrance. "Today is the day of the sword duel between you and Martial Uncle Qingyue, so I specially asked the kitchen to boil ginseng soup for you. I simmered it over a low flame for an entire night. It'll help you replenish your vitality. Come and have a taste." The ginseng soup had been boiled into a thick honey color. It was decorated with bright red dates and was served in a white porcelain bowl. It looked, smelled, and looked great.
"If you have the time and energy, you might as well spend it on swordsmanship." Gu Jian Sheng looked disdainful, but he still sat down. Mu Zixuan poured him a bowl of ginseng soup.
If it was in the past, Mu Zixuan would definitely be unhappy to hear this, but today was different.
Mu Zixuan secretly looked at the person in front of her. His back was still straight, and his eyes were still sharp, but his temples had been dyed with frost, and there were wrinkles at the corners of his eyes. No matter how peerless a swordsman was, he couldn't resist the ravages of time. Gu Jian Sheng, he was old. Thinking that she would leave without saying goodbye today, wasting the years of effort her master had poured into her, Mu Zixuan couldn't help feeling ashamed. She sighed and said, "Master's swordsmanship is divine. No matter how much time and effort I put into it, I can't compare to you. Perhaps the person who inherits your swordsmanship isn't destined to be me …"
Gu Jian Sheng blew the soup in the ladle and said, "You're usually arrogant and impetuous. Why are you belittling yourself today? The sword duel between me and your Martial Uncle Qingyue is rare. With your talent, if you can calm down and watch the duel today, it will definitely be of great benefit to you."
Mu Zixuan bowed her head and said, "Master, you flatter me. I'm afraid that today, disciple will still disappoint Master …"
"You really can't calm down. Is it because of that woman in Imperial Starry Sky?"
"Master, Youyou's nature isn't evil. She only stole the book to fulfill her mother's last wish …"
Gu Jian Sheng didn't want his disciple to know too much about Imperial Starry Sky, so he interrupted, "Enough. I don't have the heart to ask about her nature. After today, I will discuss it with Senior Brother Qingyue again and try to deal with her leniently."
"Master, you're willing to help?" Mu Zixuan showed a happy expression, but Gu Jian Sheng's next words made the happy expression freeze.
"But as the price, you're not allowed to contact her again, otherwise …" Gu Jian Sheng put the empty bowl on the table, making a dull "pa" sound.
