I just want to repair a flute [Martial Arts]

As soon as the carriage entered the Sun Mansion, Yun Chuxiu saw Sun Jian alone, standing at the gate from a distance, with a stern face and folded hands, looking as if someone owed him 100,000 taels of silver.

Calculating the time, the appointment to meet at the Sun Mansion was in early spring this year, but now more than half a year has passed. He felt guilty and naturally felt uneasy. He quickly pulled Yuan Suiyun's hand and said, "Old Yuan! You have to help me! Brother Sun has always liked you. You get off the car first and help me say something good to him!"

Yuan Suiyun still held a book in his other hand. He just glanced at him with a smile and said, "If I were you, I wouldn't do such useless work."

"Ok?"

"He was also angry with me. He was seriously injured by Lu Xiangchuan's conspiracy before, and was rescued by my people. In order to let him recover honestly and not come to interfere with me and my uncle, I asked someone to put muscle softening powder in the water he drank for three months." Yuan Suiyun replied. "After he recovered, he left without saying goodbye. It can be seen that he was very angry. He hasn't sent me a letter in such a long time."

"Ah!" Yun Chuxiu suddenly felt a little miserable. "If I had known earlier, I should have called Yaoyao over to do my makeup when we were outside the city... If he saw that I looked like I was still seriously injured, he would definitely not have scolded me!"

"Although Brother Sun is straightforward, he is not a fool. You should be careful not to be exposed." Yuan Suiyun stretched out his hand to pinch his face and said nonchalantly. "I have put several jars of good wine in the carriage. Just drink a few glasses with him tonight."

After all, for someone like Sun Jian, what could be better than good wine?

"Can I come along too?!" Hearing this, Yun Chuxiu's eyes lit up immediately, revealing an eager expression. Not to mention when he was seriously injured and bedridden before, after he was able to get out of bed, Yuan Suiyun set up a rehabilitation plan for him, watching his movements every day without blinking, and even strictly controlling his diet, not to mention alcohol, he was not allowed to drink even a sip of herbal tea.

Now that he has arrived at the Sun Mansion, has his ban finally been lifted?
"Of course... you are not allowed to go." Yuan Suiyun replied bluntly. "Just stay in your room and wait for me to come back."

"Humph!"

Upon hearing this answer, Yun Chuxiu immediately turned his head away unhappily and didn't want to pay any attention to him.

But after getting off the car, facing the angry Sun Jian, the two of them quickly united and put on a very ashamed expression. Sun Jian did not doubt him and thought that they really came to apologize, so he raised his head even higher and snorted heavily.

"Brother Sun, I know I was wrong!" Yun Chuxiu had no psychological burden, he admitted his mistake and clarified himself. "It's not that I didn't come earlier! It's because I was recovering from my injuries before, which was terrible!"

"Hmm? With Suiyun here, who can hurt you?" Sun Jian was a little unconvinced. Yun Chuxiu was also choked by his matter-of-fact tone and pouted, "Because he was not here before."

"...Where did you get hurt? How come you, a miracle doctor, took so long to treat him?" Seeing that his expression was not fake, Sun Jian's tone softened immediately. Yun Chuxiu quickly raised his hands to show him: "My hands and feet are broken, so pitiful! I have been lying for a long time!"

"What?!" Sun Jian had already grabbed his hand, but he quickly let go, fearing that he would pull him too hard. "Who did it? Tell me, and I'll avenge you!"

At this point, Yun Chuxiu couldn't help but feel a little proud: "No need, Lao Yuan and Master have already helped me get revenge! As long as you don't get angry with me, that's all."

Yuan Suiyun also took the opportunity to say, "It was also because Chuxiu encountered this incident that I was at a loss and couldn't think of any other solution, so I resorted to this desperate measure... Alas, but it is reasonable for Big Brother Sun to blame me, and I have nothing to say."

He sighed, lowered his head, and showed an expression that he was ready to be scolded. Sun Jian was speechless, and he grabbed his hair and complained: "It's obvious that I'm right, but why do I feel that after listening to you guys, if I blame you again, it's my fault?"

"What... is it right or wrong?" A gentle female voice sounded from behind him. "Brother, didn't I ask you to come out and greet the guests? What are you doing?"

As he finished speaking, a woman came out from behind him. She had a beautiful face and was wearing a long lotus-colored dress. She raised her eyes to look at the guest in front of her, then pursed her lips and showed a polite smile.

"Oh, this is Xiaodie. I said before that I would introduce you to her." Sun Jian put his arm around his sister's shoulders and turned to her and said, "You know Suiyun, so I won't say anything more. This is Yun Chuxiu, and he will be your younger brother from now on!"

Sun Die nodded, her attitude was calm and indifferent. She had a pair of very determined eyes, which were definitely not the eyes of a girl who was spoiled at home. She said softly, "You two, you have worked hard on the journey. My father has been waiting for a long time, waiting for you to meet him."

"We are also looking forward to meeting the old man!" Yun Chuxiu said meaningfully, stretching out his hand to nudge Yuan Suiyun. "We also brought gifts for the old man, don't you think so, Suiyun?"

"Yes, in the carriage behind. I really hope he likes this gift." Yuan Suiyun also replied with a chuckle, and exchanged a look with him that showed that they both knew what was going on.

Although Sun Die didn't know what they were doing, she didn't investigate further because she was not familiar with them. Sun Jian didn't care at all. He stepped forward and grabbed Yuan Suiyun and said, "What are we waiting for? Let's go in!" "Okay."

After such a long time of separation, the old man was still the same, as if the previous rebellion had not affected him at all. The two young men had not come for such a long time, and he seemed to have some guesses in his mind. He did not say much in front of Sun Jian, and after sending Sun Jian away, he asked Yun Chuxiu directly: "Who hurt you?"

Yun Chuxiu curled his lips and said, "It's more than just an injury. I actually died once! Although I don't have any memory of going to the netherworld... Old man, do you feel sorry for me?"

"Oh, so what if I feel sorry for you, so what if I don't?" The old man asked with interest, but Yun Chuxiu said helplessly: "If you feel sorry for me, please help me persuade Lao Yuan to stop watching me practice martial arts all day long. I am so tired every day! It's so hard!"

Yuan Suiyun sat calmly aside, ignoring his complaints: "You practice martial arts for less than three hours a day, so it's not hard at all." This was on the premise that he took his health into consideration and didn't ask him to get up early.

Yun Chuxiu said angrily: "Do you think I don't know that if I don't resist now, the time I spend practicing martial arts will only increase in the future, not decrease!"

"As warriors, we fight for our lives. Xiao Sha will not be the first opponent you meet, nor will he be the last person who wants to kill you!" Yuan Suiyun was very stern and said seriously about this matter. "It is the stupidest idea to expect others to come to your rescue at the critical moment. The most reliable person is still yourself!"

Therefore, he really did not intend to indulge his lover's willfulness.

"Hmph, no matter what, you are right and I am wrong, right?!" Yun Chuxiu had never been treated like this before. He snorted coldly, stood up and left.

Yuan Suiyun was not angry at all, and even apologized to the old man on his behalf: "I'm sorry, ever since he got injured, he's been taking advantage of my concern for him and his temper has been getting worse day by day. I'm sorry to have embarrassed you."

The old man said jokingly, "It is indeed very different from before. At that time, you came to my place to celebrate my birthday, but you were still not in harmony with me. Xiaoyun kept trying to escape, and you just thought he was funny, so you teased him all day long. The reason why I didn't stop you at that time was that I felt from the bottom of my heart that you couldn't last long."

But who could have imagined that they would be in the situation they are in today?
"Suiyun, I dare not say anything else, but I am so much older than you. I hope you can listen to some of my words." The old man reached out and patted his shoulder. "You still have a lot of time and a long future. Don't go too fast. You must leave yourself a complete way out. Maybe you don't even know whether you will use this way out in the future. But things are unpredictable. Who knows if you will trust the wrong person one day?"

It was not until this moment that Yuan Suiyun saw a trace of unspeakable fatigue on his face. It turned out that he was not without sadness after being betrayed.

"Although you trusted the wrong person, there are still so many people around you, not to mention that Xiaodie is back now, and your family is reunited, so why ask for too much?" Yuan Suiyun comforted him. As long as he wanted, he could always be more considerate and decent than anyone else in the world. The old man couldn't help but relax his brows and said to Yuan Suiyun: "You are right. Xiaodie now has a very good husband, and I also have a great son-in-law. I will introduce them to you later. I don't have to worry about her life, but Sun Jian will probably need you to take care of him in the future."

"Brother Sun is a hero of the time. If he hadn't been ambushed, it wouldn't be my turn to help him." Yuan Suiyun subconsciously said humbly, but the old man said, "What's the point of saying that? Winning or losing is fair and square, isn't ambushing also winning or losing? It all depends on one's ability. Your brother Sun is good at martial arts, but he is too straightforward and can't subdue others. If he needs help from you in the future, I hope you will help him today."

Hearing this, Yuan Suiyun couldn't help but be moved, because he thought of his own father. He wondered if Yuan Dongyuan had also entrusted his only son to his good friend in the past?

"Of course, now that Xiaoyun is here, you may have no choice but to agree." The old man smiled again. "I won't let you work for nothing. It's impossible to expect people to help you just by saying one word. I'm telling you this because I want to leave a useful way out for my child."

"Aren't you going to chase Xiaoyun now?" He put on the elders' unique expression of generosity and teasing. Yuan Suiyun smiled and told him, "It's okay, there's no need to be so anxious. I asked Brother Sun to arrange his room in the same room he stayed in last time. We can revisit the old place tonight."

Old man: “…” Young people are really different.

Having said that, Yuan Suiyun chatted with him for a few more words, then quickly said goodbye and left. The old man sent him out the door, feeling happy about their harmonious relationship, but also feeling a little sad from the bottom of his heart. He walked around the house, put his hands behind his back and came to the window, wanting to admire the flowers blooming in the garden for a while.

His eyes were fixed on one spot. There was a person standing in his garden with his back to him. The figure was strange yet familiar, causing his breathing to pause.

This person seemed to appear out of nowhere, and did not alarm the guards in the Sun Mansion at all. It was as if he had always been there and had never left.

As if he had noticed his gaze, the man turned around and looked at him calmly. Thirty years of time suddenly disappeared in each other's eyes. The man smiled slightly and asked, "Sun Yubo, where is my Eighteen Scholars?"
