Master, please don’t bring Feng Aotian back again!

Just one sentence.

But Lin Li's expression froze.

"You know how hard it is for me to do everything myself, so why did you disappear for a month?"

talking.

Wanli opened a drawer with a forced smile, took out all the neatly arranged letters, and placed them in front of Lin Li.

It was enough to reach Lin Li’s chest height.

"These letters were all sent by you, but in the end, I had to help deal with them all."

"Tell me, why did a certain person not come back earlier and hide in the border of Jiangnan? If he was worried, then what was he worried about? Could it be the strength of our Wan family?"

……

really.

I shouldn't have said that.

Lin Li curled his lips, and at this moment all he wanted was to slap himself a few times.

Wanli is still the young lady who is still angry.

“There’s a reason for that.”

The reason why he stayed at the border and did not formally enter Jiangnan was no secret.

But Lin Li never had the chance to speak.

Now is an opportunity.

But now Wanli doesn't want to listen.

Hindsight.

It was never Wanli's expectation.

"You always say this, whether before or after, you always have endless reasons to say."

"Lin Li."

What am I to you?

The second half of the sentence.

The pride in Wanli's heart did not allow her to speak.

So, she took a deep breath:

"You and I should be considered partners, right? Since we are going to discuss cooperation, there shouldn't be any secrets between the two of us."

"I've done everything very well, but what about you?"

"A disappearance for a whole month."

Wanli stood up and deliberately turned his back to the boy's sight.

Her back is not very tall.

The light from outside the door lengthened her shadow, falling all the way onto the oranges on the table next to her.

The last time I went back to Jiangnan.

She hoped that someone in green would hold an umbrella for her and change her mind in the pouring rain.

So I waited for several months.

No further context.

And now.

The stunning sight before Changshengtian brought her the man in green who had been waiting for her for a long time.

But in the other person's forgetful eyes, I can no longer find my former self.

A pure relationship dominated by Zeng Yixing and emotions.

It has also become a series of exchanges of interests.

These are the complications that come with getting older.

At first, Wanli still felt that Qingyi was displeased, but the other party's interactions again and again shook the throbbing that had long been frozen in the girl's heart.

She finally regained the impulse she once had.

But what greeted her was another whole month of loss of contact.

Wanli is not a cultivator, so she doesn’t know the twists and turns involved.

She just wanted Lin Li to explain to her in advance.

Even if it's just a few words...

In the end, none of this worked.

"Am I just a dispensable shadow to you?"

"Wanli..."

Lin Li was speechless for a moment, not knowing how to answer.

But Wanli didn't want to listen.

She raised her hand and pointed toward the door.

……

Lin Li walked out, and this time, he took heavy steps.

Wanli watched his back disappear around the corner.

Until even the breath was blown away by the wind.

Until it started to drizzle outside the window again.

Only then did she turn around and look at the oranges on the table.

Tick ​​tock.

Water drops fall to the ground.

I don’t know if it is tears or rain.

27. The flower of hope... oh no, the flower of life

Early this morning.

Xiao Yun'er stood at the gate with Diao Chan and the horse she named Baibai.

Waiting for her brother Lin's triumphant return.

Compared to all the worries of the older brothers and sisters.

Maybe it’s because I’m young, naive and romantic.

Xiao Yun'er never worried about what would happen to Lin Li.

She just thought that Brother Lin was traveling for some business.

After all, they didn't see each other every day when they were in the mountains.

If Lin Li was delayed by sect affairs for a while, or if his father wanted to take him to the city to make friends with relatives.

The time they spent without seeing each other stretched from minute to month.

But this does not affect the relationship between Xiao Yuner and Lin Li~

So Xiao Yuner always felt that as long as she waited until the time was right, Brother Lin would come back to see her.

This free and easy attitude made her an exception in the lifeless Xin Changming, for whom a month did not seem like a long time.

"Hey, Aunt Luo~"

But after waiting for a long time, Lin Li didn’t come back.

Instead, he saw Luo Yeqing in purple clothes gracefully landing from mid-air from afar.

Xiao Yun'er immediately trotted over with Diao Chan.

To her surprise.

Luo Yeqing had now changed into the cheongsam that he had designed specifically for her.

Perfect fit!

Repair the lines and outline perfection.

This made Xiao Yuner feel relieved.

She always thought that the cheongsam she designed for Luo Yeqing was too small.

Luo Yeqing nodded to her Xiao Yun'er, then turned sideways and hurried back to her own courtyard.

"Why does Aunt Luo seem to be in a panic?"

Xiao Yuner scratched her temples and pouted with some curiosity.

"Maybe it's because she's not good at communicating with others."

Diao Chan struggled to climb to the top of Xiao Yun'er's head and answered breathlessly.

"That's right. Aunt Luo used to stay at home and rarely interact with others."

"I wonder when Brother Lin will come back~"

Pu Xuan arranged for Luo Yeqing and Lin Li to both live in the backyard.

The rooms of this master and disciple are facing each other.

And Xiao Yun'er is now at the gate of the courtyard.

Xiao Yuner squatted on the doorstep, picked some fresh green grass from the grass beside and put it into Baibai's mouth.

The clever horse would only eat when she personally fed it.

Except Lin Li.

Xiao Yun'er is the second person she is willing to be close to.

This closeness to spiritual beasts is Xiao Yuner's unique ability.

"Oh my God! You're so heavy! My neck is going to break!"

"(；?Д`A! I'm not that heavy!"

"There is!"

……

In Luo Yeqing's room.

The master, who looked a little embarrassed for a moment, thought he had long been accustomed to the feeling of being with his disciples.

After returning from the catastrophe, Luo Yeqing had originally thought about getting in touch with his disciples more often and trying his best to catch up on the progress he had lost in the past month.

Just now, Bai Lanyu brought herself back to the welcoming banquet that had been prepared long ago.

Luo Yeqing still couldn't get rid of that slight nervousness.

Even though the disciples’ earnest concern makes Master’s heart always warm.

But those concerns and worries still made Luo Yeqing a little difficult to deal with for a while.

If Lin Li were here, Luo Yeqing wouldn't have to say anything, as many things could be easily solved by this senior disciple.

"Okay, I know you all have many questions to ask, but Master has been traveling a long way and has just arrived in Jiangnan. He needs some time to rest."

Fortunately, Pu Xuan was with him at that time.

She came to Luo Yeqing, bowed slightly to her master, then turned around and smiled at everyone:

"This banquet is to welcome Master and Senior Brother back safely. Let's put aside all the tedious official business and adventurous experiences for now. Let's eat and drink well first. How about that?"

"it is good!"
