The female disciples who had bad intentions towards me started fighting among themselves

This is not a dream.

"Madam, what are you doing?"

A silver bell-like voice came from in front of Mu Yunning. A lively and clever-looking girl stood in front of her, frowning and looking at the silly-looking proprietress. She couldn't help but say:

"If you don't go, the guest will leave!"

"Xiaojiu?"

Mu Yunning was stunned and recalled the name of the girl in front of her. She was the disciple in charge of registration tasks in Qinglan Sword Sect, and she was also the only peer of Mu Yunning in Qinglan Sword Sect with whom she could speak.

"Ah."

Xiao Jiu answered casually, then took Mu Yunning's hand and pulled her out of the tavern.

"Hey, boss lady, why are you so absent today? Come with me quickly, or everyone will leave. I waited for you with great difficulty."

Mu Yunning looked stunned and confused, and was pulled out of the tavern by Xiaojiu.

Outside the tavern, a tall knight in white was holding a wine jug and talking to the people beside him with a smile on his face.

Turning around, he saw Mu Yunning being led by Xiao Jiu, and immediately cast his eyes on her.

"Madam, give me two ounces of warm wine."

He handed the wine jug to Mu Yunning.

"Scripture words?"

Looking at the white-robed knight in front of her, Mu Yunning was even more confused. She took the wine pot handed to her by Jing Yan at a loss, frowned and asked in a low voice:

"What happened?"

"What happened?"

Jing Yan also frowned slightly and looked at Mu Yunning with some confusion in his eyes.

He reached out his hand, gently stroked Mu Yunning's forehead, and said doubtfully, "You don't have a fever."

"Sorry, sorry." Xiao Jiu at the side quickly pulled Mu Yunning away and explained to Jing Yan in front of him with a smile: "Our boss lady just woke up and her mind is not working very well now. Young Master Jing Yan, don't worry about it."

"Oh?"

Jing Yan nodded and said in a gentle voice: "Ms. Mu Yun, please make sure to rest."

"No, that's not right!"

Mu Yunning shook her head. She clearly remembered that she and Jing Yanming were chased by a magic sword in the secret realm, and eventually fell from the sky and lost consciousness.

But what is going on now?

"Jingyan, do you remember? We were clearly in the secret realm, and there was the Qingming Sword... Oh, and the jade pendant you returned to me!"

Mu Yunning reached out to take out the small wooden box that Jing Yan had returned to her, but found nothing.

"Boss lady, are you sleepy?"

Xiao Jiu came up to Mu Yunning, rubbed her face, and said worriedly: "Boss, are you dreaming?"

"No, it's not a dream."

Mu Yunning said worriedly that she was stabbed by an actor in the snow, the boy grilled fish for her in the cave, and she lay in his arms under the moonlight...

How could all of this be a dream?

60. Question of the Heart (II)

Half a month has passed.

During this half month, Mu Yunning was in a daze all day, and she slowly figured out her identity.

She lived in a small town at the foot of Qinglan Mountain. She was the proprietress of the only tavern in the town. Her business was not prosperous, but she had enough food and clothing.

There was a helper in the tavern named Xiaojiu, with whom he had a very good relationship.

In addition, these few days, Xiaojiu saw that Mu Yunning was drowsy all day and was a little worried, so he took her to see a doctor.

After she told the doctor the story from her memory, the experienced doctor who had practiced medicine for many years was silent for a long time. He told her that there was nothing serious, but she should just read less novels and novels to avoid having nightmares.

Xiaojiu was very excited and kept chattering beside Mu Yunning, hoping that Mu Yunning would tell her the story in her dream again. To her, it was even richer and more exciting than the stories told by the storyteller.

This made Mu Yunning begin to doubt herself for the first time.

Could it be that all the things that happened before were just dreams?

It was snowing outside, covering everything in silver. After Mu Yunning returned to the tavern, she lay idly on the counter and fell into deep thought.

What is going on here?

As I lay there and thought, time passed slowly. As night came, more and more customers came to the tavern.

She listened to the drinkers talking loudly, discussing the recent grudges and love affairs.

Mu Yunning always heard a name from their mouths.

The scriptures say.

The young man who grilled fish for him and lent him his shoulder to lean on in his dream seemed to have become a hero who punished evil and became famous throughout the world.

The drinkers were discussing:

"You know, that young hero Jingyan seems to be retiring from the martial arts world."

"I heard that it was because of a woman..."

"I don't know which girl is so lucky. You may not know that this young hero Jingyan is not only a martial arts expert, but also has a good appearance!"

"It's just..."

Mu Yunning just lay on the counter, quietly listening with her chin propped up.

She pushed open the drawer of the counter, which was filled with neatly arranged letters, one after another, the earliest of which could be traced back seven years.

These are letters between her and Jingyan.

Those letters recorded strange stories in the world, the magnificent mountains and rivers, and greetings on every festival.

Through these letters, Jing Yan introduced to Mu Yunning everything he had experienced.

Those drinkers who were talking so much had no idea that the young knight they were talking about actually had so many secret correspondences with this ordinary tavern proprietress.

In fact, Mu Yunning and Jing Yan have known each other for a long time. They knew each other when Jing Yan was very young and had not yet gone out to explore the world.

They are legitimate, innocent childhood sweethearts.

Mu Yunning opened the latest letter.

What was recorded was simple, just a few ordinary greetings, just like the hundreds of other letters.

Until the end of the letter.

Jingyan said to her:

"I have decided not to venture into the world anymore. This world is too big for me."

"It's really big." Mu Yunning looked at the letter and muttered softly.

"I have seen great rivers, flowing endlessly, I have seen high mountains, steep peaks, strange and magnificent, I have seen the starry sky in the wilderness, and all is quiet..."

As Jingyan described, Mu Yunning seemed to be witnessing these beautiful scenes with him.

Those beautiful views that are rarely seen in a lifetime slowly unfolded in front of her like a canvas.

"But in the end, I realized that none of it compares to you."

"!!!"

Mu Yunning blushed and shyly banged her head against the counter to cover up her panic.

Why did you say that so suddenly?

She kept hammering until her head hurt, then she looked at the letter again amid everyone's strange looks.

I didn’t see it wrong, did I?... I saw it right. I took another look and, yes, I didn’t see it wrong.

The other party really said this so bluntly in the letter.

At the end of the letter, there were only two short words.

"wait for me."

Mu Yunning was instantly flustered and extremely shy. She wished she could hide in this small drawer right now so that no one could find her anymore.

However, before she could react, the sound of wind chimes at the door of the tavern began.

For a moment, the tavern that was originally bustling with people became silent.

Someone, carrying the wind and snow, walked into this ordinary, unremarkable tavern.

Mu Yunning was also confused. She was about to look up to see what was going on, but the moment she raised her eyes, she saw a shiny white jade pendant dangling in front of her.

"Remember this?"

Jingyan carried a sword at his waist, had a smile on his face, and his eyes were full of teasing.

"You gave it to me when I was a child, and now I'm here to fulfill your promise."

Mu Yunning raised her head, blinking her big eyes, her mind in a mess.

"Okay, okay, I know you're shy and won't admit it."

Jing Yan took Mu Yunning's hand and looked at the letter in her hand, and couldn't help but feel funny.

"You're just reading the letter I sent you now?"

"No, no!" Mu Yunning shook her hands to deny it, but she couldn't find an excuse and could only stammer and remain silent.

"Okay, I'll punish you by letting you go out with me to get wet in the snow."

The young man in white took the girl's hand and led her out of the tavern into the snow.

It was not until they left that the tavern gradually returned to its former bustle... no, it was even busier than before, everyone was talking about gossip, chatting about the world-famous young hero Jingyan and the gossip about the ordinary tavern proprietress.

......

......

It's cold outside the tavern.

Jing Yan dragged Mu Yunning and climbed onto the roof.

The light snow was still falling, landing on the tip of her nose and on the boy's sword.

"Cold?"

"not cold."

Mu Yunning said that in fact she was so cold that her body was shivering unconsciously.

Suddenly, something came close to her, warm and reliable.

Jing Yan hugged Mu Yunning and took her to look at the stars in the sky.

The stars are shining brightly, and thousands of star rays are twinkling, eventually converging into an extremely shocking Milky Way.

"Before, I could only write down the beautiful scenery I saw in my heart and mail it to you."

Jing Yan said in Mu Yunning's ear with emotion: "But only by witnessing it with your own eyes can you be most shocked by its magnificence, right?"

"Jingyan, what do you mean?" Mu Yun huddled in Jingyan's arms, feeling so warm.

She purred, "I don't understand what you mean."

"I mean..."

Jing Yan raised his head and said word by word:

"From now on, I will accompany you through thousands of mountains and rivers."
