I just want to repair a flute [Martial Arts]

Sun Jian suddenly came to visit, holding Yuan Suiyun's hand for a while and asking about his well-being. The latter was surprised, but immediately asked sharply: "Brother Sun, you are here... Could it be that the old man is here too?"

"Yes, my father left for Taiyuan as soon as he received Uncle Yuan's letter." Sun Jian sighed for this, but he was relieved when he saw that he looked clear-headed and was fine. "I said, Uncle Yuan always loves you, no matter how angry he is with you, he won't do anything to you. Who knew that my father was on the road all the way, I thought something happened to you, he refused to tell me!"

He was careless and did not realize the contradiction in his words, but Yuan Suiyun's gaze had already passed him and looked at the screen in the inner room - Yun Chuxiu walked out slowly from behind the screen, holding in his arms the scroll he had received in the Shenshui Palace.

"He should be here to see me." Yun Chuxiu tilted his head, ignoring the stunned Sun Jian, and walked to the bedside to tuck in the quilt for Yuan Suiyun. Yuan Suiyun squeezed his wrist, looked up and asked him: "Do you need me to ask Ding Feng to wait for you outside the garden?"

Yun Chuxiu raised his eyebrows and said, "You sound like the old man wants to hit me. Stop talking nonsense in front of Brother Sun. I'll be back soon."

"Okay." After all, this place is Wuzheng Villa, and considering the friendship between his father and the old man, Yuan Suiyun was not really worried that something would happen to him. He just wanted him to have more confidence. Since he refused, he didn't say much.

Yun Chuxiu then ran out of the door. Sun Jian opened his mouth wide, looking back and forth between the open door and Yuan Suiyun's face. After a long while, he said in surprise: "That, that is Doctor Yun, are you and him really...?"

Yuan Suiyun looked at him, lowered his eyebrows and replied: "Yes, I made you worried... Now, do you feel disappointed?"

"What are you talking about!" Sun Jian almost jumped up. Seeing him so depressed, he couldn't help but comfort him: "We are real men. We should be honest and upright. We should admit what we want to do and do it openly! Those cowards who like men but don't dare to admit it, what kind of men are they? Don't worry, big brother supports you!"

"Ha." Yuan Suiyun chuckled and said softly, "Brother Sun, if my father hears this, you will have to accompany me in getting beaten."

"What's the big deal? I'm tough and I don't mind a few beatings. But if I don't support you, how many people here will support you?" Sun Jian waved his hand. Yuan Suiyun's eyes moved slightly and replied, "There are people in my family who support me."

"Those people only want your position as the young master of the manor, not your own interests. Don't be fooled by them!" Sun Jian said seriously. "But speaking of it, starting a family and having children is your responsibility. Uncle Yuan is the only one with you, so he is naturally strict with you. It is only natural. Don't get angry with him for this! ... What are you going to do about this?"

How to do it?
Yuan Suiyun smiled inwardly. Although he and Yun Chuxiu were in a good relationship and were in the period of intimacy, they were still very young and would never think about such long-term things. Besides, he was not like his father, who thought that giving birth to a bloodline was such a big deal. If he had a son like Sun Jian who was easy to deceive in the future, wouldn't he be as worried as the old man now?
Of course, he still looked obedient on the surface, and whispered: "I haven't thought about it that much, let's take it one step at a time. Now, my father has tacitly approved of my relationship with Chu Xiu, which is enough for me."

Hearing this, Sun Jian couldn't help but frown and muttered to himself: "Although Uncle Yuan has punished you, he probably doesn't want to continue punishing you, but can he really give up like this? No, no..."

His face suddenly changed color, he grabbed the long sword beside the bed, and stood up solemnly! Yuan Suiyun called him at the right time and asked in surprise: "Brother Sun, what happened?"

"I suspect that my father was so anxious to come to Wuzheng Villa because he was invited by your father to get rid of Doctor Yun!" Sun Jian turned his head and looked at him, saying anxiously. "You also know my father's methods... Damn it, why didn't I stop him just now? Why did I let him go out like this?... But Suiyun, don't worry, I will go find him right away!"

Seeing that he was in a hurry and was about to leave, Yuan Suiyun shook his head secretly and called out to him: "Brother Sun! Don't go! You misunderstood. The old man didn't come to see him because of me..."

Seeing Sun Jian turned around in confusion, Yuan Suiyun paused, looking a little embarrassed. After a long while, he slowly said, "Actually, I know the reason, but I don't know how to tell you..."

"Why?"

"Because, Chu Xiu...is actually your younger brother."

Sun Jian: “…”

Sun Jian: “!!!”

garden.

When Yun Chuxiu walked along the path into the garden, he saw the old man standing under a paulownia tree with his hands behind his back. His demeanor and charm were still as elegant and extraordinary as when he first met him.

However, the way he looked at him was very different from before.

He stopped and secretly tightened the scroll in his hand. After a pause, he continued to walk towards the old man. The latter must have heard his footsteps when he walked into the garden, but did not respond to his hesitation. It was not until he came close that he turned around and greeted him: "Mr. Yun, see you again."

"Yes. I was planning to go to Jiangnan to find you after things here are over, but I didn't expect you to come to me first." Yun Chuxiu said. "Old man, are you going to tell me about Yuan Suiyun first, or just talk about what happened between us?"

"Hasn't he solved Suiyun's problem himself?" Although he had just stepped into the gate of Wuzheng Villa today, the old man was obviously well aware of what happened in the villa. He turned around and looked at Yun Chuxiu carefully from head to toe again, and the latter couldn't help but say, "I'm not the master's son, so I don't look like him no matter how hard I try!" As he said that, he pursed his lips unhappily. In the eyes of the old man, he was really childish. He couldn't help but shook his head, and the disappointment in his heart was reduced a little: "Donglou has always been strict with himself, but I didn't expect that when teaching his disciples, it's not the same at all!"

Yun Chuxiu felt like he was being laughed at. He straightened his chest and crossed his arms: "Master is very strict with me too!"

"If I were strict, I wouldn't have cultivated a character like you." The old man disagreed, but seeing that he looked unconvinced, he didn't argue with the child and just smiled and asked him, "Now, can you answer the question in my letter?"

Yun Chuxiu was a little surprised: "Do I need to answer? Isn't this obvious?"

The old man didn't say anything, just looked at him gently. After a while, Yun Chuxiu couldn't stand his gaze anymore, kicked the stones on the ground and muttered: "Master never talked about you before..."

The old man smiled and said, "That's because you are too young. We haven't seen each other for nearly 30 years. When we separated, you were not even born yet!"

Yun Chuxiu had thought of this as early as when he saw the painting, otherwise he would not have felt that the master in the painting was so strange.

But looking at the old man in front of him, he couldn't help but ask: "It's been 30 years since we last met. Are you still looking forward to hearing from him? Maybe he has forgotten you and has moved on with his own life?"

The old man just smiled at him and said, "Since you are here, he must still be alive. For me, this is the best news. For people like us, apart from life and death, nothing matters."

However, after hearing what he said, Yun Chuxiu's throat choked up, and he suddenly recalled the four lines of poetry inscribed on the scroll: "I wanted to tell you the date of my return in front of you, but your face turned pale before I could say a word" is about parting, and "The spring moon in the courtyard is the only sentimental one, which still shines on the fallen flowers for the parting lover" is about missing someone!

"...How did you know the relationship between my master and me?" he asked, struggling. "I have never mentioned him in front of others, nor did I learn his famous martial arts...I can't figure it out!"

The old man's eyes looked a little strange.

"Because..." He said as he slowly stretched out his hand and suddenly hit Yun Chuxiu with a palm! "Because Ningxue Gong is actually my martial arts!"

In an instant, the wind and snow whistled in, engulfing Yun Chuxiu. Since he had learned this martial art, this was the first time he saw another person in the world using it. Needless to say, he was shocked. He immediately raised his hand to block it, and at the same time, he slapped the old man in the chest with his backhand.

The two exchanged a few moves, from the ground to the roof, and then from the roof to the flowers. When they stopped, the nearby grass and trees were covered with a thin layer of new snow. The old man put his hands behind his back, gave him some pointers, and praised him with a smile: "You have learned martial arts well. Did Donglou teach you step by step?"

Yun Chuxiu was a little confused. Although the moves were slightly different, the opponent and he were obviously practicing the same internal energy. He couldn't deny it, so he said honestly: "No, my master just gave me a book of internal energy secrets and threw me up the snowy mountain. I stayed there for three years before I could come down the mountain!"

"Oh?" The old man was a little surprised, realizing that this kid was indeed talented. His own son, Sun Jian, was also very skilled in martial arts, but his path was completely different from his, and he could never learn his martial arts. It had to be said that this was something he deeply regretted. "You have already achieved initial success in martial arts in just three years, which proves that your master did the right thing."

Yun Chuxiu looked at him in disbelief and couldn't help but tell the truth: "In fact, I didn't understand the secret book at first. Master didn't even explain it to me. He just threw me up on the snowy mountain and didn't let me go down the mountain. The food he sent me was hidden in various hidden places and I had to dig and find it myself. I was completely a savage in the mountains for three years!"

The old man's process of learning martial arts was naturally different from his, so he couldn't help but ask curiously: "Then how did you learn it in the end?"

"That's it..." Yun Chuxiu recalled the situation back then. He had completely forgotten the sadness and depression of being alone in the deep snowy mountains. However, there was only one thing that was still deeply imprinted in his mind.

"One day, I couldn't sleep in the middle of the night, so I climbed up the mountain along the ridge. When I got to the top, the sun had just risen and was still hidden in the clouds. The sunlight shining on the snow was so beautiful and gentle that I stood there and watched for a long time. If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, it would be hard to imagine that such a magnificent scene could exist in the world..."

"and then?"

"Then?" Yun Chuxiu tilted his head and answered as a matter of course.

"Then, I learned the Snow Condensation Technique!"
