Suddenly, at this moment, as if she sensed something, Lu XueQi frowned, her leaning body, slowly sat up, her eyes glimmering, looked away from the bright moon in the sky, looking out of the house.
Outside the house, not far away was a small stretch of bamboo forest, under the moonlight, the slender bamboos cast slender shadows on the ground, just that right now on those shadows, there was an indistinct human figure.
Lu XueQi's countenance changed slightly, stood up, coldly said, "Who is the expert, please show yourself."
The shadows of the bamboos danced. The figure in the darkness seemed to be weightless as he stood on the branches of the bamboos. After a long while, a sigh suddenly came out. Then, someone faintly said, "Indeed, you are someone that I can't help but pity. No matter when I see you, you are always so breathtaking."
Lu XueQi's eyes turned cold, looked at the bamboo forest shadow, but for some reason, the voice of the person who came in the middle of the night was gentle and melodious, it sounded familiar, as if she had heard it somewhere before. While thinking so in her mind, her face was still as cold as frost, Lu XueQi said, "Who is it?"
A gust of mountain breeze blew, the bamboo shadows suddenly swayed, stirring up the shadows on the ground, a white figure similar to Lu XueQi, floated out, it was Xiao Bai.
Under the moonlight, her features were like a painting, her skin crystal clear, a faint seductive look was indistinctly discernible, her beauty was not inferior to Lu XueQi.
Lu XueQi was stunned, she did not expect Xiao Bai to come in the middle of the night, asked in surprise, "Why is it you?"
Xiao Bai smiled faintly, said, "Of course it is me, why, can't I?"
Lu XueQi was silent for a moment, said, "Are you here to look for me, what's the matter?"
Xiao Bai glanced at her, smiled and said, "It is so late at night, you are not sleeping, leaning against the window to watch the moon, I wonder who are you thinking of?"
Lu XueQi's jade-like face suddenly turned slightly red, then snorted, coldly said, "This is none of your business, what exactly are you here for? This is my Qing Yun sect Small Bamboo Valley territory, if you do not explain clearly, don't blame me for being rude. "
Xiao Bai said leisurely, "Oh, really? Then I will say it. Actually, whoever you are thinking of in your heart, that is who I am here for."
Lu XueQi's body shook slightly, looked up at Xiao Bai, saw that although there was a smile on her face, there was no teasing expression, hesitated for a moment, Lu XueQi slowly said, "He … what happened to him?"
Xiao Bai said, "He is now in the ruins of Grasstemple Village at the foot of Qing Yun Hill."
Lu XueQi's body trembled, and a trace of excitement flashed across her face. Even her jade-like hands that were grabbing the windowsill tightened. However, after a moment, her face was suddenly covered with a faint layer of sadness. She said in a low voice, "I won't go."
Xiao Bai was startled, "What?"
Lu XueQi was silent for a moment, slowly lowered her head, said, "Our sect right now is in chaos, teacher and elders are all troubled over it, moreover with his current identity … if I go to see him, it would be breaking the sect rules, breaking the commandments, and even if I see him, what is the use …"
At this point, her emotions seemed to be a little agitated. She bit her lower lip and took a deep breath, as if she wanted to stabilize her emotions. Who knew that after a moment of silence, a wave of passion suddenly rushed out from the depths of her heart, filling her entire body. Her heart was hot, but she could no longer control herself, and blurted out a question to Xiao Bai:
"He, is he still well?"
Xiao Bai did not speak, only quietly watched her.
Lu XueQi suddenly felt a sense of uneasiness, a trembling feeling, flashed past her body.
She stared at Xiao Bai, held her breath.
Xiao Bai was silent for a long time, then, quietly said, "BiYao has left."
Lu XueQi like being struck by lightning, stood dumbfounded, her mouth half opened but not a word came out, her mind was ringing, a blank.
In front, Xiao Bai indifferently said, "Your relationship with him, is also not an outsider, he is now …"
"How is he, how is he now?" Lu XueQi like suddenly awoke, her face pale, repeatedly asked, as if she could no longer stand steadily.
Xiao Bai was silent for a moment, said, "He is not well now, I have no other way, that's why I came to find you."
Lu XueQi frowned tightly, deep worry written on her face, she who had always been as calm as ice, right now her mind was in a mess. She panted softly, as if a heavy burden suddenly pressed on her chest, suddenly, she abruptly raised her head, stared at Xiao Bai.
Xiao Bai did not say anything, only nodded slightly.
[Hua la] …
The window in front of Lu XueQi broke into pieces, a beautiful white figure grabbed TianYa, swept out, charged up to the sky.
What sect rules, what commandments?
In her eyes, there were only glistening tears and unsuppressable yearning!
Charged up to the sky, left with the wind!
The strong wind like knives blew on her face, but could not extinguish the fire that was suppressed in her heart for a long time but finally burned fiercely tonight.
How was he? BiYao had left, what kind of pain was that, ten years, but it seemed that only she could deeply understand that man!
She faced the wind and left, resolute and crazy, without the slightest turning back. In the dark night far away, was that darkness enveloping him, was that terrible coldness eroding him?
She wanted to fly, to go to his side.
To be with him!
Under the moonlight, there was still a shadow.
Xiao Bai slowly walked to the broken window, looked for a long time and then slowly raised her head, the moonlight silently spilled down, shining on her.
She closed her eyes, slowly, slowly exhaled, revealing a smile.
There was a faint smile with a tinge of bitterness, but there was also a tinge of joy …
The bright moon hung high in the sky, the night was cold and sparse.
The night breeze blew over from afar, the weeds in the Grasstemple Village ruins undulating under the moonlight, like waves in the sea. The empty night was silent, only from unknown places around, deep within the weeds, low cries of insects were heard.
In the dark corner, Ghost Li was still maintaining his original position, leaning against the wall, Xiao Hui was asleep leaning against his legs, the night breeze blew past, it seemed to feel the chill, mumbled, turned its body and curled up, even its tail clamped tightly and then continued to sleep soundly.
Suddenly, in the bright moonlight, a white figure swiftly descended from the sky, her speed was so fast that when she landed, the surrounding weeds with a sound, with the white figure as the center, abruptly fell outwards. After a long while, they then slowly recovered.
The white light dispersed, revealing Lu XueQi's anxious face, she swept across the ruins, saw broken fences and walls everywhere, nothing had changed since the last time she was here, other than some empty spaces illuminated by the moonlight, most of the places were shrouded in darkness.
She did not see anyone.
She stood there for a moment, slowly strided forward, walked into the ruins which hid who knows how many past events.
Behind every broken wall, beneath every broken wall, perhaps there was a story of the past. There was once a family's laughter, sorrow, and sorrow buried under the broken mud and stones. But now, under the cold moon and cool breeze, there was only sadness left.
TianYa in Lu XueQi's hand, gently glimmered with faint light, bright and dark, as if it knew her master's complicated feelings. The white figure, traversed the ruins.
Suddenly, Lu XueQi stepped down, a small but sharp cry was heard from the underbrush, in this cold night, it seemed exceptionally mournful. Lu XueQi's face turned pale, her body stiffened for a moment, the next moment, a vole scurried out from the underbrush beside her, its four legs flew and in a blink scuttled into another pile of thick underbrush.
Lu XueQi was stunned for a moment, slowly heaved a sigh of relief, right now her nerves were already stretched to the extreme, things which she usually would not care about, right now could actually make her heart tremble. Just that, this sudden cry, although it startled Lu XueQi a little but at the same time it also woke up the sleeping monkey.
Before it woke up, the grey monkey's ears were already turning, the next moment, Xiao Hui's three eyes all opened.
Footsteps, were heard from the other side of the ruins.
Xiao Hui crawled up, looked around and discovered that Xiao Bai that familiar figure was not there, the monkey immediately became alert, stood for a while, looked at Ghost Li but saw that its master was still expressionless, dumbstruck like a wooden chicken. Then, Xiao Hui turned and climbed up the wall that Ghost Li was leaning against, looked towards the direction of the footsteps.
In the darkness, the golden eye on its forehead slowly lit up.
Lu XueQi had walked for a while, although it was not a long time but in her heart, it felt like a thousand years, everywhere was empty darkness, her heart was filled with anxiety, right now there was also a faint trace of fear, could it be that in this period of time when Xiao Bai was not around, he who was alone, did something stupid ….
Her face instantly turned pale again, her footsteps involuntarily quickened, as if she could sense the anxiety in her heart was about to explode, after she took another two steps, Lu XueQi abruptly stopped.
On the wall ahead, a spot of golden light suddenly lit up but that was definitely not a firefly in the night, that was an eye, intently watching her.
The moonlight moved forward, gently shifted a little, illuminating the shadows, a grey three-eyed monkey's figure appeared, squatting on the wall, its body strangely and comically tied with bandages, looked at Lu XueQi.
Xiao Hui!
Lu XueQi's heart immediately pounded violently, almost without any thoughts, she swept past, the white figure in the moonlight streaked a faint afterimage, like the last willow flower disappearing in spring.
Xiao Hui watched Lu XueQi flying over, scratched its head, seemed to hesitate. Among the girls who were related to its master, Lu XueQi and Xiao Hui's relationship was the most unfamiliar, the other girls like Xiao Bai or Xiao Huan etc, when they saw each other they would smile and hug the monkey, or caress it or joke around, only this white-attired girl in front of her was as cold as ice and had never interacted with Xiao Hui.
But even so, Xiao Hui also clearly knew that this girl, had a special relationship with its master, watching that white figure sweeping over, Xiao Hui hesitated for a moment and did not make any reaction.
The monkey did not react but Lu XueQi did, she anxiously grabbed the monkey, under the moonlight, other than the monkey's figure but that person's figure was nowhere to be seen, her voice even trembled, said, "He … where did he go?"
Xiao Hui was held up in the air by Lu XueQi, although that pair of hands were equally fair and beautiful but the owner of the hands naturally could not be bothered to be courteous, unknowingly exerted more and more strength, Xiao Hui was somewhat annoyed, waved its limbs and called out. But before the monkey could express its protest, Lu XueQi's gaze had already drifted past it. Behind the broken wall, in the deep shadows of the darkness, a shadow was sitting there without making a sound.
[Pa!]
The monkey that was protesting suddenly lost its support, fell from the air onto the ground, looked like it even rubbed against one of its wounds, Xiao Hui immediately grimaced in pain, jumped up and made a face at Lu XueQi's back.
Lu XueQi slowly turned around the broken wall, walked to Ghost Li, in front of her, was a body that seemed to have lost its life, a pair of empty and soulless eyes blankly opened, not knowing where it was staring at, the entire face was haggard, a faint smell of decay emitted from the body, making one mistakenly think that this was already a corpse, rotting from the inside.
[Dang!] TianYa celestial sword fell from her hand, gently landed on the ground beside, Lu XueQi did not even glance at it. She slowly, squatted down before Ghost Li, two lines of crystal clear tears, rolled down her fair cheeks.
"Xiao Fan …"
Ghost Li's body, suddenly moved, as if this familiar cry, indistinctly stirred up somewhere deep in his heart. Just that after a moment, he returned to his original dazed state, like a tired bird, rather huddled in its little invisible nest, and refused to look out at the outside world, even once.
Trembling slightly, Lu XueQi stretched out her hands and slowly cupped his face. That familiar face, it was the person she had missed countless nights in her heart. Her lips trembled slightly, choked with sobs, said in a low voice: "Xiao Fan, I'm here, it's me, I'm XueQi …"
He did not move, his face wooden.
The night breeze was cold, gently blowing past, the bushes made rustling sounds, the grey monkey squatted beside, silently watching them. Under the cold moonlight, who would care about this lowly and insignificant corner of the world, that man and woman struggling with love in the mortal world?
Drip, transparent teardrops, rolled down her cheeks, landed on Ghost Li's face, in the wetness there was a faint warmth. Lu XueQi gently sat beside Ghost Li, the place where she touched, was as cold as ice.
"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid …" On Lu XueQi's face, behind the tear stains, slowly emerged some determination and bravery, she gently hugged Ghost Li's face in her arms, using the warmth of her chest to warm up the body that was about to lose hope and collapse.
She hugged the man in her arms tightly and refused to let go. She slowly raised her head and looked at the sky. The bright moon was bright and clear.
"Xiao Fan, don't be afraid."
"It will be fine …"
"Everything will be fine!"
She softly said, her voice gentle but firm.
The moonlight like water, spilled onto the mortal world, gently illuminating the pair of figures leaning against each other.
