Last day.

Afternoon.

The quiet atmosphere in the room seemed to be ignited by the sunlight, becoming noisy in the hazy light, rising and falling in the overlapping shadows.

Wu Yingxue is about to leave, and now that her injuries have healed, she is ready to find out the truth.

So, she is packing her things.

Although I said I was packing, there wasn't actually a lot I needed to take with me.

She had very few belongings, and after all, it was an accident when she fell into Xu Xi's house.

"No more?"

After busying herself for a while, the girl wrapped her spear with camouflage so that it would no longer be conspicuous. She stood there, looking at the empty room, feeling a little dazed for a moment.

The cicadas' chirping is coming to an end.

The scorching sun cuts out shadows.

The 16-year-old girl stood in the room where she had lived for nearly two months.

Suddenly, I had a strong illusion that I was in another world.

Her past 16 years were wonderful in the eyes of ordinary people and a luxury that ordinary people dreamed of. But after living in Qingniu Town for two months, Wu Yingxue felt that such a life had been in the past for a long time.

It seemed like it was not two months, but a year, or even longer.

"For some reason I still feel a little reluctant..."

The girl muttered to herself, then closed the doors and windows. When she opened them again, she had changed her clothes.

The original red and white robe was too conspicuous. If the girl wore it directly back, she was sure that it would not take long for her whereabouts to be discovered by the police.

therefore.

She specifically asked the department to find her some clothes.

For her to disguise.

"The only thing left is time," Wu Yingxue said after changing her clothes, glancing sideways at the scorching sun outside the window.

Wu Yingxue prepared to leave at night. The dark and gloomy environment was more conducive to movement and could greatly reduce the possibility of being seen by people in the town.

At the same time, it can also cover up the fact that she came from Xu's family.

Just.

There is still some time before the sun sets and the night completely covers the sky.

What should I do to kill this boring time?

The girl didn't know.

She carried her rifle on her back, picked up her small bag, pushed open the wooden door of the room for the last time, and walked lightly over the worn wooden threshold that was covered with marks of time.

"call--!"

"call--!"

Opposite the door is the empty practice area in the courtyard.

Xu Xi still stood in the scorching sun as usual, ignoring the cold or heat, the weather, and punching every day.

Sweat dripped and the punches were fierce.

Every punch he threw, every surge of energy and blood, made the air blurry and distorted, like the loud beating of a vibrant heart.

"Master's boxing skills have become more profound..."

Wu Yingxue felt emotional.

A look of confusion flashed across the little face.

During this time, she had been studying with Xu Xi, but for some reason, the distance between her and Xu Xi was getting bigger and bigger.

It was a bizarre growth that was neither scientific nor martial.

It's as if Xu Xi is the protagonist in a novel.

As long as you start practicing martial arts, your martial arts level will rise rapidly.

"How is that possible?" Wu Yingxue laughed at her own thoughts.

She temporarily put down her rifle and bag and sat on the doorstep of the room. The scorching sunlight was blocked by the eaves, providing a shady place for the girl.

A young princess who doesn't know how to kill time.

Made the same choice I made during my recovery period.

Watch the Xu style martial arts training process.

Green bricks and red tiles, flying eaves and corners, and dark green unknown plants climbing all over the walls create an extremely quiet atmosphere during the transition between summer and autumn.

The 16-year-old girl just watched, quietly watching Xu Xi throw punches and gazing at the dark mountains in the distance.

It was an indescribable sense of emptiness.

Completely forget the passage of time.

After a long time, the scorching sun began to fade, and the sky was no longer so bright. The girl finally couldn't help but ask about the confusion in her heart.

If I don't ask now, I may not have the chance again after she leaves Qingniu Town.

"Sir, you practice boxing like this every day, don't you feel tired? I have never seen you relax or rest any day."

Facing Wu Yingxue's inquiries.

Xu Xi paused for a moment, looked up at the setting sun, and slowly retracted his fists.

His answer was straightforward: "Of course I will be tired."

"Eh?"

The overly straightforward answer seemed to be beyond the girl's expectations, and her face showed surprise.

She had thought that a warrior as hardworking as Xu Xi would give the classic answer, such as "not hard or tiring" and "perseverance is more important than anything else".

However.

Xu Xi's answer overturned Wu Yingxue's guess.

He stood there, constantly adjusting his surging blood and qi, his breathing resonating with his heart, completing the circulation of qi bit by bit, and answered the girl:

"If you don't eat, you'll get hungry."

"If you don't drink water, you will be thirsty."

"If you don't wear clothes, you'll feel cold."

"Similarly, I feel tired, tiring and torturous when I practice boxing every day."

"No one is perfect. No one has flaws or mistakes. No one is not afraid of hard work or fatigue. At least I am not one of them."

Finish the exercise.

calm down.

Take a deep breath.

After Xu Xi sorted out his qi and blood, he turned and looked at Wu Yingxue who was sitting at the doorstep.

He never thought of himself as a saint, let alone the need to brag about himself.

From the beginning to the end, Xu Xi thought that he was an ordinary person, just a little luckier, and could eat the free meals of his younger sister, disciples and teachers.

But Xu's performance and Xu's words.

But it caused Wu Yingxue to fall into a long silence.

The light of the setting sun exhausted its last bit of strength, and the sun slowly fell into the distant horizon. Golden ripples appeared at the junction, which were the bitter waves in the girl's heart.

She felt that compared with Xu Xi, her previous thinking was too naive and simple.

It is so unbearable to look back.

She grew up in the palace and King Dingyuan named her Yingxue, implying that he hoped the girl would be as quiet and beautiful as the soft snow.

But the development of things is often not as we wish.

The girl's personality is the opposite of her name, she is passionate like a raging fire. She has never liked needlework since she was a child, and only loves martial arts and chivalrous stories. She dreams of becoming a female hero or female general who protects the country and the people.

Peaceful life in the capital.

The many conveniences of being a princess.

A carefree experience since childhood.

Under the influence of many factors, Wu Yingxue's understanding of the world is very shallow, and she only has a simple distinction between humans and demons.

She thought Daqian was a good person and protected all human beings.

She thinks demons are bad and that the Hundred Thousand Mountains threaten people's lives.

She dreamed of becoming a heroine in the novels, chopping off a hundred thousand mountains with a single sword and saving the common people from disaster.

But these...

"These are all one-sided and ignorant ideas."

After the sunset, the full moon rises.

The bright moonlight poured down on the earth. Wu Yingxue stood up from the doorstep, put on her spear again, and picked up her bag.

"If it weren't for this attack, if it weren't for your teachings, perhaps I would never have discovered the truth in my lifetime."

"Thank you."
