I just want to repair a flute [Martial Arts]

By the time Yun Chuxiu learned that a horrific murder had occurred in Jiangling City, he and Yuan Suiyun had already arrived at the Shenshui Palace.

"Huh? Many people died in Jiangling City because of the treasure?" He was holding a soup spoon in one hand and drinking hot fish soup, his eyes wide open and as cute as a cat. "Is it true? Is it because of thieves eating thieves?"

"The treasure was a big golden Buddha, but it was covered by a stone statue. There was a secret door behind the golden Buddha, which was full of jewels. At that time, a group of people heard the news and rushed to the temple, looting things and killing people. It was a mess... It was really interesting." Gong Nanyan's tone was full of sarcasm. "It's a pity that I didn't see it with my own eyes."

She sneered, and her young face showed an almost cold beauty. Yun Chuxiu tilted his head and asked, "But if they fight each other, there must be a winner in the end, right? With such a big fuss, who got the treasure?"

His eyes were full of curiosity. Gong Nanyan's words were about to come out, but she swallowed them back and said coldly, "Why should I tell you?"

"Godmother! Look at her!" Yun Chuxiu yelled immediately, grabbing Shuiji Yinji's sleeve. "She always picks on me!"

"Okay, okay." Jellyfish Yin Ji had a headache, but she had to mediate. "Nan Yan, you are so old, why are you still messing around with him?"

"Am I much older than him?!" Gong Nanyan was immediately angry. Yun Chuxiu made a face at her and said teasingly, "You are not much older, but who says you are the stepmother?"

"……snort!"

"Alright, both of you shut up." Jellyfish Yin Ji said angrily. "Yuan Suiyun, you go ahead and talk."

"It is said that Emperor Yuan of Liang coated the gold and silver with poison to ensure that the treasure would not be taken away by the Wei soldiers. The longer people are exposed to it, the more they will lose their minds and become like wild beasts attacking others." Yuan Suiyun answered gently. "I heard that when the bodies were finally carried out of the temple, there was not even a complete body. It took two days for the various sects to put the bodies together before they could rest in peace."

"Wow, that's tragic." Yun Chuxiu sighed, and then asked heartlessly, "So where is the treasure?"

"So many people died and so many things happened. It was impossible to conceal it any longer. Naturally, the money was taken away by the court and confiscated." Yuan Suiyun answered as a matter of course. He had never considered spending money with such a mysterious origin. Although the underworld and the court had always kept their distance from each other, if they were involved, there would be a lot of trouble.

"Oh, there is one more thing I want to tell you." He turned around and smiled at Yun Chuxiu. "The prefect of Jiangling named Ling Tuisi, he didn't die, he was saved by someone by chance. However, I heard that he has been serving as the prefect of Jiangling for several years and has tried every means to avoid being transferred. The shell of the golden Buddha still has the poison of the Jinbo Xunhua that he often uses, which has also killed some people. Now the court has imprisoned him for interrogation, probably because they suspect that he is a remnant of the previous dynasty who is guarding the treasure."

"Huh? This remnant of the previous dynasty is too old. Emperor Yuan of Liang was so long ago..." Yun Chuxiu stopped talking halfway.

"You did it, you did it, right?!" What a coincidence that Ling Tui Si was rescued and arrested. If he was locked up in jail, wouldn't it be a reappearance of what he did to Ding Dian and Di Yun? Being wronged, imprisoned, suppressed, interrogated...

Is there any revenge more powerful than this?
"Lao Yuan! You're awesome!" Yun Chuxiu laughed, hugged his lover's shoulders, and kissed him on the face. "If Ding Dian knew about this, he would definitely be grateful to you! I'll also write a letter to Brother Sun to make him happy!"

——Sun Jian separated from them halfway and took a detour back to Jiangnan. Before leaving, he did not forget to remind Yun Chuxiu that after visiting Shenshui Palace, he should not forget to go to Sun Mansion to see the old man, and then he would take him to see his sister Sun Die.

Do I really need the gratitude of a dead person? But it was just a casual act. Yuan Suiyun smiled secretly, and was very pleased with his reaction.

Jellyfish Yin Ji couldn't help but look at him twice more, but with her status, she never took these Jianghu fights to heart. Yuan Suiyun also wanted revenge, so there was nothing strange about it. Therefore, she didn't ask more questions, but just knocked on the table and said, "Let's eat, if you want to be intimate, go back to the room and do it."

The four of them had dinner like an ordinary family in the world. Yun Chuxiu sat at Shui Ji Yin Ji's feet, holding her hand and telling her about what happened on the snowy mountain. He couldn't help laughing as he spoke. Seeing his reaction, Shui Ji Yin Ji couldn't help but said helplessly: "You are like this, even if I want to vent my anger for you, I don't know whether I should do it or not."

"No need, I haven't been wronged. Besides, are you going to beat up the snow mountain for me, godmother? Hahaha." Yun Chuxiu laughed. "The snow mountain is the one who is really wronged! It was standing there quietly, and it's obviously you guys who are causing trouble for it for no reason."

Trapped in a snowy valley for several months, he was still as carefree and relaxed as when they parted, except for his weight loss. He had no resentment or dissatisfaction at all, which made Shuiji Yinji marvel. She reached out and stroked Yun Chuxiu's face, thinking that when he dressed up as a man, he didn't look that similar to Situ Jing, and their personalities were even more different. But she was calm at this time, and she didn't hate him for it. The world is wonderful, and it is really hard to describe.

Perhaps, when she was no longer so sad about her daughter's death, the cruel reality was already in front of her: compared to Situ Jing, she liked children with Yun Chuxiu's personality more. Coming back to her senses, she couldn't help but ask seriously: "How is your martial arts training going?"

"Ah?" Yun Chuxiu's smile froze on his face. He never expected that she would suddenly ask about his martial arts. Shuiji Yinji pondered and said, "It's okay for others, but when you practiced martial arts, even if you were on the snowy mountain, it was like revisiting an old place. In addition, there is no one on the mountain, and you have nothing to do. Shouldn't you practice martial arts more diligently?"

Yun Chuxiu thought that they were not able to eat enough every day, and everyone was thinking about how to catch birds. Who would have the mood to practice martial arts? It was only Di Yun who was diligent and practiced sword skills on the snow every day. So if there was any change in his martial arts, it must not be much different from a few months ago.

He was just about to act coquettishly to get away with the matter, but suddenly a disciple from the Shenshui Palace came to report that someone had come to the door, claiming to be an old acquaintance of Yun Chuxiu, and asked if he should be invited in.

"Is it Lu Xiaofeng or Chu Liuxiang?" Yun Chuxiu's attention was immediately drawn to it, and he asked with interest. "Could it be Hua Manlou?"

"Do you think people are stupid? If it were them, wouldn't they just tell you their names?" Gong Nanyue said to him, and then instructed the disciples in a deep voice: "Describe the person's appearance for your master to hear."

"That man looks much older than you, young master. He is wearing a red suit and holding a red umbrella." said the disciple.

As soon as Yun Chuxiu heard this familiar description, his face changed immediately and he stood up. "Meng Chen?!"

*
The clear water reaches the sky.

Meng Chen held a red umbrella in one hand and stood by the cold pond outside the Shenshui Palace. The umbrella covered most of his face, leaving only his thin chin and upturned red lips exposed.

Seeing Yun Chuxiu leap up from the lake and land in front of him, he raised the umbrella handle in his hand, looked him up and down lazily, and said lightly: "It's been a while since we last met, why did you make yourself so miserable? If Master saw it, I'm afraid he would be heartbroken. Don't you think so, little junior brother..."

"Stop, stop, stop. Don't call me Junior Brother." Before meeting him, Yun Chuxiu thought that so much time had passed and he had experienced so many messed up things during this period, he should not be angry with him. However, face to face at this moment, as soon as the other party opened his mouth, he felt a surge of anger rushing to his chest. He still disliked him as before, and couldn't help but secretly complain that he and he were indeed born to be incompatible.

"Meng Chen, how did you find me?" He asked bluntly, crossing his arms. Meng Chen raised his lips and asked him back, "Shouldn't you thank me first? I heard that you were on the snowy mountain and was ready to go up the mountain to find you. Then I heard that you were rescued, so I had to follow you all the way here. It was so hard, but it was all for you..."

"...I really didn't see that at all!" His tone was full of indescribable sarcasm no matter how you listened to it. Yun Chuxiu clenched his fists and felt like he was about to hit someone. "I'm fine, and I don't need you to come to me. You should go back quickly!"

"Haha..." Meng Chen teased. "Do you feel embarrassed to be trapped on the snowy mountain and feel ashamed to go back with me? What's there to worry about? No matter what you do, how dare your senior brother laugh at you? It's strange that our master, who is so strict, can tolerate your willful temper of leaving at any time. What's so different about you? I don't know whether it's the same person with different fates, or some people are biased. There is no reason..."

At the end of his speech, his tone was already tinged with an indescribable awe and hatred. Yun Chuxiu restrained his previous anxiety and retorted in a serious tone: "Master has always treated us equally! Don't talk nonsense!"

"Treating everyone equally...that's just your idea. If he is really as fair as you said, why don't you have to face the same fate as me? There is no duel waiting for you ahead, and you don't have to fight for life and death with your brothers. How lucky you are, so lucky that it makes people...hateful." Meng Chen said this as if he was muttering to himself, and pulled out a sharp sword from the umbrella handle.

"In the end, you can't understand me. You are his sweetheart, so what am I?" He sneered. "In fact, I really want to know...if you die, what kind of expression will Master show? Hmm?"

He was going to attack him, but Yun Chuxiu was not afraid. He just felt an indescribable emotion taking control of his heart, which made him blurt out: "If he really didn't care about you, he wouldn't feel sad even when he saw your face! It's because he cares about you more than anyone else, feels sorry for your past experiences, and regrets the decisions he made. That's why he indulges me and never restrains me today... Do you understand?"

After saying that, a cold wind mixed with ice and snow appeared around him, and he slashed towards Meng Chen with a palm!
