"I say, Féquy, I didn't expect you to know so much."
Féquy was slightly embarrassed and quickly said, "I … I only heard it from others."
Gu Qingfeng smiled and did not say anything.
"Young Master, our luck is pretty good. It's close to the temple fair, and Mo Lan Peak will be open to the public for the next few days. Look, that's Mo Lan Peak."
Gu Qingfeng looked in the direction Féquy was pointing and immediately saw Mo Lan Peak.
The peak was tall and straight, and it was especially unique among the rugged peaks. Mo Lan Flowers were blooming all over the peak, and they glowed with a faint purple-blue light. It was truly beautiful. Under the sunlight, Mo Lan Peak looked like a woman wearing a purple-blue dress. It was also like Empress Yan Luo Tang HuanYue, quiet but not cold, beautiful but not gaudy, elegant and refined.
Gu Qingfeng climbed up Mo Lan Peak.
Memories of the past flashed in his mind bit by bit.
He still clearly remembered that he was playing the zither on the peak of the mountain, and Tang HuanYue was playing the sword in the sea of flowers.
He also clearly remembered that when he was drinking wine on the peak, Tang HuanYue was nestled in his arms, and the two of them enjoyed the sunset together.
He also clearly remembered that under the moonlight, under the starlight, on this Mo Lan Peak, they talked about everything and expressed their thoughts.
He climbed up to the peak and closed his eyes, reminiscing and feeling, because this Mo Lan Peak carried too many memories of him and Tang HuanYue. There were beautiful memories, and there were also memories that made him think of regret and self-blame.
The last time the two of them met and parted was also on this Mo Lan Peak.
He said he wanted to leave.
Tang HuanYue was reluctant. She hoped that Gu Qingfeng would stay, and she also confessed her feelings.
However.
Gu Qingfeng did not stay, and still left.
Before he left, he turned his head back. He would never be able to forget the scene of Tang Xiu sitting paralyzed on the mountain peak and crying her heart out. She cried her heart out and her heart was broken.
If he could do it all over again, Gu Qingfeng would definitely not leave, and he would definitely not leave.
Unfortunately.
There were no ifs in this world, and it was impossible to do it all over again.
Sigh.
Gu Qingfeng shook his head and sighed. He blamed himself for being too young, too willful, and too selfish. He only thought of himself and did not care about the feelings of others.
The peak of Mo Lan Peak was not big, but there were too many people who came to play, and it was crowded everywhere. Gu Qingfeng did not stay for too long. He was about to go down the mountain when he saw people not far away from him seemed to look at something on the mountain wall, and they seemed to mention mention mention Tang HuanYue.
Gu Qingfeng was puzzled, so he walked over and looked around. Only then did he realize that there were a few lines of poetry on the wall.
Jun Xin soars to the skies, wanting to be higher than the heavens.
The sun sets in the west, wandering to the ends of the world.
Returning to Mo Lan Peak, reminiscing about the past.
Love is hidden in my heart, waiting for your return.
When you need someone to rely on, I am willing to accompany you.
"Sigh, I heard that this poem was left behind by the Empress herself."
"That's right. It's said that back then, the Emperor parted with the Empress here. The Empress was heartbroken and stayed alone on this Molan Peak for a very long time. I heard that when the Yan Luo Imperial Family found the Empress, the Empress was already on the verge of death."
"Even so, the Empress still could not forget the King. From the literal meaning of the poem, the Empress knew that the King's heart was like Chi Xiao, higher than the sky, and he also liked to roam the world. The Empress was willing to wait until the King had enough fun outside and wanted to settle down and find someone to rely on. The Empress was willing to stay with him until they grew old."
"Sigh, the Empress is so pitiful."
"That's right. But then again, which woman who likes the King isn't pitiful?"
"In the end, it's all women's fault. How could he be so heartless back then?"
"From what I know, the King has always been heartless to women."
"Miss, you can't say things like that. You can't just think for the Empress, you have to think for the King. The King was in a dangerous situation back then. He was originally a wanted criminal in Sengoku, and he also wiped out the four major families and six major sects for the Empress. At the same time, he fought against Sengoku alone for the sake of the Yanluo royalty. The King was already a sinner in the immortal world at that time. How do you expect the King to accept the Empress's feelings when he was being hunted down by Sengoku?"
"That's right! You women are so short-sighted and only know how to talk about relationships. If the King had really agreed to the Empress's feelings back then, wouldn't it have harmed him? "
"I agree. Thinking about it, the King had no choice but to leave back then because he was afraid of implicating the Empress."
"What's there to agree about? What do you mean by afraid of implicating the Empress and having no choice but to leave? These are all excuses, okay? The Empress doesn't care about these things at all. "
There were quite a number of young men and women gathered at the peak. Furthermore, they were arguing endlessly over the matter between the King and the Empress. The men expressed that they could understand the King, but the women were different. Most of them were fighting for justice for the Empress. At the beginning, the men's side could still argue and gain the upper hand. Later on, when the women's side brought out the King's 24 crimes, the men's side was completely defeated.
As everyone knew, the King's famous Twenty-Four Deadly Sins referred to the emotional entanglements between the King and twenty-four women.
The men's point of view that they had no choice but to leave because they were afraid of implicating the Empress was not valid in the face of the King's Twenty-Four Deadly Sins.
Didn't they say that the King had no choice but to leave the Empress because he was afraid of implicating the Empress?
He was afraid of implicating the King, yet he still had an affair with so many women?
If this wasn't an excuse, then what was?
The women were sharp-tongued. Using the King's matter as an excuse, they mocked and ridiculed all the men in the world. The men were left speechless and could only leave in embarrassment.
Gu Qingfeng had been watching silently.
Actually.
Back then, was he afraid of implicating the Tang HuanYue, or was he really just using this as an excuse?
Gu Qingfeng didn't know either.
Maybe it was the former.
Or maybe it was the latter.
Or maybe it was both.
Looking at the poems carved by the Tang HuanYue on the mountain wall, Gu Qingfeng felt even more upset. He was also eager to find the Tang HuanYue as soon as possible.
Suddenly.
He remembered that Féquy had said that the Tang HuanYue seemed to have lived on the mountain peak for a period of time and had even opened up an abode here. It was just that no one had been able to find the abode until now.
At the thought of this, Gu Qingfeng immediately released his divine sense and began to investigate the entire Mo Lan Peak in detail.
The existence of an abode was actually a unique small space. It wasn't exactly unique because every abode relied on the spatial laws of this world to exist. At the same time, it was hidden in nature. In other words, the abode existed both in this world and in nature. It was just that it couldn't be seen with the naked eye.
