Not special to you
Zehui sighed and said, "Sigh."
"This is really worrying. What am I going to do?" He shook his head.
No matter what, this matter will always be a thorn in my side, and I will always feel guilty and uneasy. I will probably live with this guilt for the rest of my life.
Everyone remained silent. Zehui waved his hand and said, "Alright, let's hope there won't be a next time."
It was obvious that Ze Hui knew what He Lian had done, and these words were spoken to him.
After hearing this, He Lian turned and left, leaving behind only the words, "There won't be a next time."
He Lian recalled.
"Sect Leader, we've investigated. Aunt Cui's death was caused by villagers pushing her over and hitting her head on a table while trying to steal her money. She then hastily dressed up to make it look like she died of natural causes," said a disciple of the Flying Crane Sect.
"I understand. Let's go and seek justice for Aunt Cui," He Lian said.
At this moment, He Lian's eyes became even more resolute.
There won't be a next time, because next time we won't hide it.
Heming couldn't help but ask, "Master, why did you keep it a secret?"
He Lian remained silent for a moment, then said, "Just pretend I don't want to talk about it."
Once, Aunt Cui laughed and said to Ye, "Hehe, I still prefer to sit at my doorstep and bask in the sun as I walk away."
He Lian nodded and said, "That's fine too."
Aunt Cui seemed to have thought of something and said, "If that's not the case, then just consider me gone. Don't let the wooden stick cause trouble."
Now, He Lian felt a mix of emotions.
I'm sorry, I broke my promise. Everyone is dead. I didn't want Mugun to know, but he committed suicide. I originally wanted to be the bad guy, but Luo Kui and Mugun refused to let him go, so I had no choice but to go with the flow. As for the truth... since I didn't say it then, I won't say it now either.
Han Sheng stared at his retreating figure, unsure of what to say.
At night, Li Xingyi came to Kimura alone and stood for a long time looking at the tombstones of the villagers.
At that moment, a voice rang out, "Junior Sister, are you considering whether or not to kneel down?"
Li Xingyi looked toward the source of the sound and saw Li You lying in the tree with a smile on his face and a blade of grass in his mouth.
Li Xingyi looked at him and said, "What are you doing here, Senior Brother?"
Li You smiled and asked, "Junior Sister, why are you here again?"
After hearing this, Li Xingyi looked at the tombstone in front of him and remained silent.
Seeing this, Li You sat up, took the foxtail grass out of her mouth, and said, "Junior sister, do you think your senior brother is not as good-looking as a tombstone?"
Li Xingyi still didn't look at him and said, "Senior brother, you should go back and get some rest."
Upon hearing this, Li You jumped down from the tree and said, "No way! It's so rare for me to be alone with my junior sister. There's no one to bother us here. Isn't that great?"
Li Xingyi looked at the tombstone in front of him and opened his mouth slightly as if to say something, when Li You's face suddenly appeared in front of him and smiled, "Or does Junior Sister prefer to be with Senior Brother Gongsun?"
Li Xingyi was stunned for a moment. Li You, who was bending over, froze with a smile and her eyes dimmed. He straightened up and said, "Junior sister is really unfair. Both Senior Brother Gongsun and I play with you, but you only care about Senior Brother Gongsun and don't care about me at all."
Li Xingyi came to his senses and looked at Li You, saying, "Senior Brother, you're overthinking it. You're just like Senior Brother Gongsun."
"Snap!" It sounded like someone breaking a tree branch. The two looked toward the sound, but saw no one.
Li Xingyi looked at the dark forest and lowered his eyes. Li You smiled and said, "Perhaps an animal accidentally stepped on it. Junior Sister, you don't need to worry about it."
Li Xingyi looked at Li You again and asked, "Senior Brother, may I ask why you came to the Frostfrost Sect?"
After hearing this, Li You said, "Hmm...maybe he wants to become stronger."
Li Xingyi said, "Really? I always felt that my senior brother was different. He knows everything and his martial arts are very strong."
Li You smiled and said, "Really? Then I am truly perfect. I am proficient in everything, including appearance, martial arts, and knowledge. I am a genius young man. I wonder if I can win the heart of my junior sister?"
"..."
Li Xingyi said calmly, "Senior brother is really joking. Putting aside the fact that Frost Cold Sect forbids such discussions, I am still young and it is not appropriate for me to discuss this matter."
Upon hearing this, Li You said, "In that case, how about I wait until my junior sister comes of age to bring it up again?"
"..."
Li Xingyi sighed and said, "Marriage is a matter of parental consent and matchmaker's words, so there's no need for you to bring it up again, Senior Brother."
Li You ignored him and said, "Alright, we'll just go and propose marriage when my junior sister comes of age."
...No, are you really listening?
Li Xingyi said, "Senior brother, it's getting late, we should go back."
After hearing this, Li You walked to the side and said, "That's fine, but Junior Sister doesn't need to come anymore. The villagers of Mu Family Village deserved to die. They coveted Aunt Cui's money and accidentally killed her. Afterwards, they deliberately made it look like they died of natural causes."
Li Xingyi, who was following behind him, was stunned for a moment and asked, "How did you know, Senior Brother?"
As Li You walked, he casually said, "You'll find out if you want to."
Li Xingyi stopped abruptly and said, "Senior Brother."
Upon hearing this, Li You stopped and turned to look at her, asking, "What's wrong?"
The night was alluring, and a gentle breeze brushed past their ears. Their eyes met, and Li Xingyi was stunned for a moment when he saw this scene. Gongsun Dou's face appeared in his mind, his smile still gentle.
Seeing that Li Xingyi remained silent, Li You smiled and said, "Junior Sister, are you captivated by my handsome appearance?"
Li Xingyi then came to his senses, walked past him, and said, "Senior brother, you should get some rest."
Li You smiled as she watched her retreating figure.
Li Xingyi was puzzled.
Why...did I think of Senior Brother Gongsun?
At this moment, Gongsun Dou watched all of this from the tree, his eyes slightly lowered, his gaze subtly shifting.
In the fifth year of Dewei, Li Xingyi continued his seclusion to practice martial arts, and Gongsun Dou also worked hard to practice martial arts.
That day, Li Xingyi was practicing martial arts when Mu Sui suddenly appeared, holding a letter in his hand, and said, "Sect Leader, it's a letter from Xingyi."
Previously, because Li Xingyi was in seclusion, letters were delivered to Qingyi. Therefore, we could only read the letters after Li Xingyi came out of seclusion.
This letter was brought by Mu Sui. Perhaps Han Sheng was afraid that Li Xingyi would miss his family's letters, so he specially entrusted him with this task.
Seeing this, Han Sheng said to Li Xingyi, "Let's rest."
Li Xingyi then stopped and said, "Yes."
Li Xingyi accepted the letter and said, "Thank you very much, Uncle Mu Sui."
Mu Sui nodded and said, "Let's read the letter first."
"Alright." Li Xingyi then opened the letter to read: Xingyi, how have you been lately? Your mother and [unclear] have been missing you for days, wondering when Xingyi will be able to return? Yanzhang is now on the verge of death and wants to see you again. I didn't want to tell you, but seeing Yanzhang in such a state, I have no choice but to write this letter, hoping that Xingyi will make a decision before returning - Li Fengtan.
Upon seeing this, Li Xingyi's heart trembled, and she became anxious. She immediately knelt before Han Sheng and said, "Master! Please allow this disciple to go home!"
"My brother is in grave danger, and I am deeply worried. Please, Master, allow me to return and see him!"
After speaking, Li Xingyi kowtowed to Han Sheng, his eyes moist and tears falling.
Seeing this, Han Sheng felt bad and immediately helped Li Xingyi up, saying, "Get up quickly, I'll go with you."
Upon hearing this, Li Xingyi said gratefully, "This disciple thanks Master."
Han Sheng said, "Let's leave now. Is there anything you want to take with you?"
Li Xingyi thought for a moment and said, "Qingyi! Qingyi wants to go back too!"
The two were deeply in love, and if Li Xingyi were to return without taking Qingyi with him, it would truly be against his principles.
Han Sheng replied, "Okay, let's go now."
This was the first time Li Xingyi had lost her composure at Shuanghan Sect, the first time she hadn't been calm and composed. She quickly left Youlan Valley and arrived at the square.
Seeing this, everyone was confused and didn't know what had happened. Gongsun Dou was about to speak when he asked, "Junior Sister, what happened? What's going on..."
Li Xingyi acted as if he hadn't heard anything, and quickly walked past him. As soon as he saw Qingyi, he immediately pulled her along and ran towards the outside of Shuanghan Gate.
Gongsun Dou was clearly stunned, his hand frozen in mid-air. Hongxing helped him put his hand down, but ultimately said nothing.
The young master must be very sad that he was not noticed.
At this moment, Gongsun Dou seemed to understand something. If he hadn't taught Li Xingyi for a month, he would have had almost no special connection with Li Xingyi.
If I hadn't been the one to keep talking to Li Xingyi, I would have just been a senior brother to him, one of many senior brothers.
Gongsun Dou was filled with bitterness.
So... I'm not special after all. I... I thought I might be a little special, but it turns out... I was just overthinking it.
Gongsun Dou looked at his hands and smiled bitterly. Li You came over and said, "Hey, you're not going to give up, are you? Then I'll have to take advantage of your situation."
Gongsun Dou said nothing, but Li You muttered, "Although they've spent a month together, no, a little over a month, they grew up together since they were little. Can you compare them?"
Li You walked past him and said, "Love isn't that easy, especially when it comes to entering someone's heart. You might fall in love at first sight, but that doesn't mean the other person feels the same way."
As he walked away from You, he continued to speak in his heart.
Besides, even marriage doesn't guarantee someone's heart will be tied down, let alone without a formal status.
It's easy to say "stay together for life," but who can guarantee that they won't change their mind or have someone else interfere in their lives?
Many people remarry in their later years; even emperors had three wives and four concubines.
I really don't know how he thinks he can make Li Xingyi remember him now, and thinks he is special.
Thinking of this, Li You shook her head.
Gongsun Dou looked at Li Xingyi's departing figure.
For the first time, she wasn't her usual calm and composed self. It was the first time I'd seen her so anxious, her eyes slightly red. She had been crying.
What made her cry? What made her so concerned? What made her so anxious?
Will I... be able to enter your heart?
Then his gaze turned sorrowful.
I... am starting to lose confidence.
I don't even know how much longer I can stay, Li Xingyi. Can you tell me what I can do to make you remember me forever? What can I do to make you fall in love with me?
Gongsun Dou was in pain.
The more you look, the more heartbroken you become, but if you don't look, you're afraid the person in your eyes will never return, so you can only imprint that person's image firmly in your eyes until the image disappears.
At this moment, Mu Dong said, "Continue practicing."
Gongsun Dou then looked away and closed his eyes.
Qingyi, being pulled along, asked in confusion, "Miss, what happened?"
As Li Xingyi answered, he forced back his sorrow and said, "Brother, you are on the verge of death. Father said you want to see me, but I'm afraid you won't make it."
Her voice trembled noticeably as she spoke, and Qingyi exclaimed in disbelief, "How could this be?! Why would Young Master suddenly act like this?!"
Li Xingyi said, "I can only go back and ask my father."
The two stopped at the same time. Han Sheng put the veils on them and said, "Take them off when we get there."
