Chen Chang Sheng looked at Xu Yourong.
Looking from the side, she was very beautiful.
Just like looking from any angle.
She was as calm as usual.
But for some reason, Chen Chang Sheng felt like he saw a hint of autumn coldness on her face.
Or was it because of what Mo Yu said to him yesterday?
From last night until now, he had thought for a long time and hesitated for a long time. Finally, he asked.
"Do you … want to say something?"
Xu Yourong was a little surprised and said, "Say what?"
Whether it was her expression or her action of turning around to look at him, it was all so natural.
Chen Chang Sheng suddenly didn't know how to continue this topic. His gaze fell on the grass not far away.
A smile appeared on Xu Yourong's face. "Are you talking about the Empress?"
Chen Chang Sheng nodded.
Xu Yourong's smile gradually disappeared. She said softly, "She's like my mother."
Chen Chang Sheng looked at that place and asked, "Are you preparing to do something?"
Xu Yourong looked at him and said calmly, "Did Mo Yu say something to you last night?"
Chen Chang Sheng said very honestly, "She felt that you would avenge the Divine Empress."
Xu Yourong said, "If I wanted to do it, would you be worried?"
Chen Chang Sheng's answer was still very honest, "Yes."
Xu Yourong said indifferently, "Isn't this what she should do the most? You should also be worried about her. "
Chen Chang Sheng said, "Last night, she told me that killing Zhou Tong that year was paying back the Empress's affection for all these years."
Xu Yourong was silent for a while and said, "It's natural to return what you borrowed."
Chen Chang Sheng couldn't see her true thoughts and said, "What do you think?"
Xu Yourong asked back, "And what do you think?"
"Although my master and I are now strangers because of this matter, when it comes to this matter itself, I really don't know who is right and who is wrong."
Chen Chang Sheng said, "If you look at it from the matter of them using Zhou Tong, I feel that they are both wrong."
Xu Yourong said, "So you feel that there is no reason to deal with another mistake for one."
Chen Chang Sheng said, "I just feel that I can't convince myself."
Xu Yourong calmly said, "That makes sense, but you don't have to try to convince me, and you don't have to worry about me either, because I'm not prepared to do anything. I cultivate the Great Dao, and the Empress also cultivates the Great Dao. If she still has a strand of her soul in the sea of stars and knows of this, she probably wouldn't want me to spend my time on such trifling matters. "
Chen Chang Sheng did not say anything.
Logically speaking, Xu Yourong had just worked with Shang Xingzhou, so there shouldn't be anything to worry about. However, he still felt that something was wrong.
Xu Yourong continued, "If I really wanted to do something, I would definitely tell you in advance. Moreover, how could the venerable Daoist not sense it?"
Chen Chang Sheng felt slightly relieved, because he knew that Xu You Rong wouldn't lie to him.
Xu Yourong did not speak of this matter. Gazing at the academy wall deep in the forest, she asked, "Is that the Orthodox Academy over there?"
Chen Chang Sheng was very familiar with this forest. He said, "It's just over the wall."
Since he came to the Herb Garden, there was no reason not to go to the Tradition Academy.
Chen Chang Sheng walked towards that direction.
Xu Yourong was too late.
Because she took an extra look at the meadow.
Her eyes were calm.
The Divine Empress was buried there, in a very, very deep place in the ground.
In her heart, there was also a very, very deep place.
… …
… …
The grey-black academy wall was somewhat tall and very old. It was unknown how many years of wind and rain it had experienced.
However, the door on the academy wall was clearly not old. Whether it was the door frame or the mortar in the cracks, it was at most a few years old.
The door that suddenly appeared on the grayish-black wall of the courtyard looked like a smiling mouth.
Chen Chang Sheng seemed to see the little girl who pushed open the door and walked out. He couldn't help but laugh.
Pushing open the academy door, he arrived at the Orthodox Academy.
On the other side of the academy wall, there were no steaming wooden barrels.
Tang Thirty-Six had already left the Heavenly Dao Academy for many years and now lived in the Orthodox Academy. If he once again ran away in wet clothes, where would he go to borrow clothes to wear?
That small building was still in its original place.
Chen Chang Sheng had lived in this small building for a very long time. He very familiarly walked in.
Upon entering the first floor, he could see a room. It was Zhexiu's.
The building was very quiet, as if there was not a single person.
Whether it was the corridors or the layout, nothing had changed from three years ago.
Su Mo Yu and Tang Thirty-Six lived on the second floor.
His room was on the third floor.
The room had not changed at all, but it was clear that it had been frequently cleaned. It could be said to be spotless.
That row of plain Daoist robes of varying shades was still hanging in the wardrobe, the books on the bookshelf were still there, and the bedding was still neat and tidy.
It seemed like he had never left, or that these three years had not existed.
Xu Yourong pointed at an empty spot on the bookshelf and asked, "What about that thing I gave you when you were little?"
"When I leave, I usually bring it with me."
Chen Chang Sheng used his finger to pick up that very old bamboo dragonfly.
Xu Yourong carefully took it and then very carefully placed it on the bookshelf.
Seeing this sight, Chen Chang Sheng felt rather warm, but he also suddenly felt rather strange.
He remembered that Xu Yourong should not have come to his room in the Orthodox Academy, so how did she know that a bamboo dragonfly had once been placed there?
He turned to Xu Yourong, wanting to ask her.
Xu Yourong's expression was very calm, but her cheeks were a little red. She rushed to say, "It's a little old, I'll make you a new one in the future."
Chen Chang Sheng knew that he could not ask any further, so he smiled and agreed.
Walking out of the house and across the lawn, they arrived at the lakeside.
The great banyan tree bore countless streaks of snow. It looked very beautiful, but it also made one worry whether or not it could endure the cold.
With a slight gust of wind, Chen Chang Sheng and Xu Yourong stood on a thick branch, snow rustling down.
"In the past, you used to stand here and look at the capital?"
"That's right, we felt that it was very nice to look at the scenery like this."
"What's across from us?"
"The small kitchen. It was later destroyed by Wuqiong Bi and then rebuilt. Now no one uses it, but I heard that the firewood and kitchen utensils are all very well prepared."
"Only waiting for Xuan Yuan Po to return?"
"When he next returns to the capital, he should already be a Great General of the Demi-human race."
… …
… …
In the light snow, the capital was very quiet, and the Orthodox Academy was also very quiet. In the distance, a faint sound could be heard. If one listened carefully, it should be many people reading in unison.
The Orthodox Academy was very large, and the place that Chen Chang Sheng used to live in was only a very small part of it. He knew that the present was no longer the same.
He wanted to go there and see, so Xu Yourong naturally had no objections.
Following the sound of reading, they walked past the library, the gatehouse where Jin Yu Lu had roasted three deer, the fountain that had finally been completely repaired, and entered a forest.
The dormitory of the Orthodox Academy was on the other side of the forest.
The sound of reading grew clearer and clearer.
Interestingly, the forest seemed to grow quieter and quieter.
Suddenly, the sound of crying came from ahead.
Chen Chang Sheng looked over.
A youth was leaning against a tree, wiping away his tears.
The youth's clothes were very ordinary. He did not come from a rich family, but he was also probably not from a poor family.
The youth's face was covered in bruises. It was obvious that he had been beaten.
Xu Yourong prepared to go over and ask.
At this moment, the sound of hurried footsteps came from outside the forest, as well as laughter and cursing.
"Today, we have to get through to Xue Baoqin!"
"Right, we can't let him run away again."
"Right, right, right, let's see if he dares to come to our Orthodox Academy again!"
