So-called growth
Yan'er nestled in Changfeng's arms, and Changfeng held her. They said nothing, just staying like that. Such peaceful moments were truly too rare for them.
"Changfeng," Yan'er broke the silence.
"Um?"
"What if we can't get through this time?" Yan'er said.
"No, good will never prevail over evil. We can definitely defeat Bantianyue and restore peace to Sifang City." Changfeng said while gently stroking Yan'er's hair.
Yan'er sighed softly, "Who knows what the future will hold? If I could choose, I'd really like to find a place with beautiful scenery, away from the ups and downs of life, and live a simple and peaceful life."
"After all the troubles have subsided, we will find a place to live in seclusion and live a life like in paradise." Changfeng said.
"I want to go to the Desert Ridge." Yan'er said.
"Okay, then let's go to the Desert Ridge." Changfeng said.
"I just don't know if I can live to see that day." Yan'er said in a low voice.
Chang Feng smiled and patted Yan Er's head: "What nonsense! We have the sword and the sword together, plus the double sword of Sai Hua Tuo and Leng Yue, we will definitely get through this disaster safely this time."
"I hope so." Yan'er said.
"Yan'er, why do you always say depressing words today?" Changfeng asked.
"The current Bantianyue is no longer the Bantianyue of the past. His Golden Buddha Indestructible Body has been fully cultivated, and the power of the Shenyue Sect has also grown much stronger than before. Now he is not only cruel and ruthless, but also has unfathomable skills. And Shi Qiuyan, he has a special relationship with Lengyue. It is too difficult for Lengyue to deal with him. I'm afraid..." Yan'er said.
"Yan'er, don't worry. Leng Yue said she can resolve Shi Qiuyan's issue. We should believe her, right?" Changfeng said.
"Everything in the future is unknown, how can I not worry?" Yan'er murmured.
"Since everything is unknown, worrying will not help. Instead of worrying about the future, it is better to grasp the present. In fact, I think this place is nice, with beautiful scenery and far away from the hustle and bustle. Let's just treat this place as a desert ridge for now. No matter what happens in the future, at least at this moment, we are happy, right Yan'er? Look, how beautiful the night is tonight." Changfeng stroked Yan'er's hair and kissed her forehead gently.
Yan'er looked up at the bright moon in the night sky and smiled sweetly: "Yes, at least at this moment, we are very happy. The night is really beautiful tonight."
Changfeng was no longer the indecisive and wavering person he once was. He could comfort Yan'er's fear and anxiety, and no longer caused her the heartache that he once did.
Instead of worrying about the future, it is better to cherish the present. Even if tomorrow brings blood and gore, at least at this moment, we are happy.
That's good.
Gu Mutian and the old man from the frontier were drinking and watching the moon in the pavilion in the garden.
"My old friend from the frontier, your beloved disciple is in big trouble this time." Gumutian took a sip of wine and said with blinking eyes.
The old man from the frontier twisted his beard and said, "All obstacles are caused by demons in the heart. Some roads must be walked alone, and some obstacles can only be overcome by oneself. I believe in Xiaoyue'er's wisdom and the relationship between her and Mingri."
"Want to make a bet?" Gumutian said with a smile.
"Tsk, do we still need to bet? I'm definitely going to win!" The old man from the frontier blinked mysteriously and asked, "Does the bet we made before still count?"
"Of course!" Gumutian said proudly with his head held high.
"That's good, haha!" The old man from the border laughed happily.
"Can't we really help Xiaoyue'er?" Gumutian asked with a frown.
"We can't help. This is their own business. How can we interfere?" said the old man from the border.
"Hmph, I see you just don't feel sorry for Xiaoyue'er and Mingri! You're their master after all!" Gumutian said with a pout.
"Look at you, here you go again! Why are you so unreasonable when it comes to the word 'love'?!" The old man from the border also pouted and said, "How can I not feel sorry for Xiaoyue'er and Mingri? This calamity is Xiaoyue'er's inner demon. If we insist on intervening, we will harm her!"
"Hmph, I think you are clearly..." Gumutian said with a pout.
"That's what? Huh? What?" The old man from the frontier took over and said, "Do you believe it or not, let's make a bet?"
"I'm too lazy to bet with you!" Gumutian turned his head away.
The old man from the frontier patted his old friend on the shoulder and said, "Children and grandchildren will have their own blessings, so don't worry about it. We can't interfere, we can only hope that they can get through the difficulties as soon as possible."
Gumutian also nodded, and the two continued drinking.
"I will definitely win, hum!"
"I should be the winner!"
“Hahahahahaha…”
Inside the general's mansion.
"Ouyang Mingri...!" Shi Qiuyan's handsome face was twisted with anger. He waved his sword around in the yard: "How am I inferior to him! Why! Why! Leng Yue, why won't you forgive me!"
After waving for a while, feeling a little tired, Shi Qiuyan looked up and suddenly found a full moon hanging in the sky. The full moon held a special meaning for him. Shi Qiuyan sat down in the yard, looking at the bright full moon in the night sky, his thoughts drifting back to the time when they were in love.
That day was the Mid-Autumn Festival. Xiaoyan invited Lengyue to dinner, and Lengyue bought mooncakes for Xiaoyan.
"Do you know? Although I have dated many girlfriends before, they have never spent Valentine's Day, Mid-Autumn Festival or anything like that with me. They always left me when I needed them the most. Lengyue, will you leave me?" Xiaoyan asked.
"No, I'm here to spend Mid-Autumn Festival with you, aren't I?" Leng Yue said gently.
"Lengyue, you are so nice. Can I call you wife?" Xiaoyan asked.
"Okay." Leng Yue said.
"Wife, will you leave me? Sometimes I feel so pitiful and lonely. I'm really afraid that you will leave me one day..." Xiaoyan said aggrievedly.
Leng Yue held him in her arms and stroked his hair gently: "Unless you don't love me anymore, I will never leave you."
Leng Yue always kept her word. She said she would treat him well, and so she stayed by his side like a kitten, never leaving his side. Whether buying tickets, taking exams, or eating, she was always there for him, waiting for him. Leng Yue cared for him like an older sister, even like a mother—after meals, she would walk him back to the dormitory and then walk back home; if he was sick, no matter how late or tired he was, Leng Yue would accompany him to the hospital to get medicine or get an IV. Later, they lived together, Xiao Yan playing games while Leng Yue did the housework. Such scenes always reminded Xiao Yan of the willful yet warm feeling of being spoiled by his parents at home.
Xiaoyan had never seen Lengyue angry. Lengyue always tolerated his childishness, forgave his mistakes, and understood his immaturity. Even when he went to the internet cafe to play games while she was sick, Lengyue never lost her temper with him. Not only did Lengyue not get angry with him, but after she got better, she would go to the internet cafe and invite him to eat together. Whenever this happened, seeing Lengyue's haggard face, he would feel a flicker of guilt and heartache, but more of it was sweetness and pride. Sweetness, because of Lengyue's love; pride, because he knew Lengyue would never leave him. She was so dependent on his existence.
Leng Yue was angry with Shi Qiuyan only once. That night, there was also a bright full moon in the sky.
It was their first class reunion after graduation, but Leng Yue was busy working overtime and didn't attend. After the party, it was getting late, and Xiaoyan and his ex-girlfriend Lingling were on their way, so he acted as a escort and drove Lingling back to their rented apartment. When they reached the door, Lingling invited Xiaoyan inside to sit down. Xiaoyan felt thirsty and wanted to go in for a glass of water.
That night, Xiaoyan got a little drunk and dozed off on the sofa after drinking some water. Lingling helped Xiaoyan onto the bed and took off his shoes for him. Looking at this boy who had been deeply in love with her, Lingling couldn't help but kiss him.
Perhaps it was the effect of alcohol, but Lingling's kiss made Xiaoyan feel unusually comfortable. He pulled Lingling into his arms without saying anything, and the two began to kiss passionately.
"Shi Qiuyan, you bastard!"
A familiar voice tore through the ambiguity filled with the smell of alcohol, like a basin of cold water, instantly pouring out his drunkenness.
"Leng Yue...?" Xiao Yan then realized what he had just done.
Leng Yue snorted coldly, turned around and left. Xiao Yan hurriedly chased after her in his slippers.
"Lengyue, listen to my explanation. I just kissed her and nothing else happened. I'm telling the truth! I was drunk!" Xiaoyan caught up with Lengyue and held her hand.
Leng Yue retracted her hand, and only one glove was left in Xiao Yan's hand.
"Don't touch me!" Leng Yue pointed at Xiao Yan's nose and said word by word, "From today on, I don't know you."
The next day, Xiaoyan called Leng Yue dozens of times, but she didn't answer any of his calls, didn't reply to his texts, and couldn't access the internet. He wanted to run to her house, but was afraid Leng's father would kick him out. So he ran to the square in front of the supermarket across from her house and pitifully texted her, "Wife Yue'er, I haven't eaten all day and night. I'm in the square across from your house right now. It's freezing outside. Don't you really care about my life or death? I just want to see you. Come out and see me!"
Five minutes later, Leng Yue sent a text message back: "Let's talk about it when I'm no longer angry. Go back first and have a good meal."
After receiving Leng Yue's text message, Xiao Yan went home obediently, and soon saw □□ online.
On the morning of the third day, Xiaoyan sent Lengyue a text message: "My sister is coming back today. I'm going to the station to pick her up. Will you come with me?"
Leng Yue replied: "I won't go. After you get a call from my sister, text me back."
"She forgave me!" Xiaoyan thought happily.
After arriving at the station and picking up his sister, Xiaoyan excitedly sent a text message to Lengyue: "I picked up my sister. Do you want to have dinner together tonight?"
Xiaoyan thought Lengyue would agree to have dinner with them, but what he got was a breakup text message.
"I'm sorry, I really can't do this without regrets. I can't live like this anymore. Maybe Lingling is more suitable for you. I'm really tired. Please let me go and break up. I wish you happiness."
Shi Qiuyan sighed and came back to his senses from the past.
"Just because I kissed Lingling while drunk, Leng Yue is going to break up with me? Even though I was drunk, Lingling and I really didn't do anything to let you down, Leng Yue, didn't you say you believed me? Why, after all, are you still unwilling to forgive me?"
"Is it really impossible to start over?" Shi Qiuyan murmured.
The other person once loved me so much, so what happened now? Is it true that no one can treat me well forever? Or is it that expecting others to treat me well forever is itself a luxury?
We are so insatiable, always thinking that the other person can be better and better. However, we forget, never think about, and don't want to think about what we have done for each other.
Love is fluid and mutual.
And growth is an irreversible process.
The next day, inside the palace hall.
None of the court officials attended the court session, as if they had all disappeared overnight, with no one to be seen alive or dead.
Ban Tianyue paced back and forth, thinking: "Why is this happening? Did these people hear the news and run away, or were they hidden by Huangfu Renhe? If they just ran away because they were afraid of death, it would be fine. But if they were hidden by Huangfu Renhe, then..."
Bantianyue walked to the dragon throne, lifted his cloak, and sat down on it.
"Hmph, Huangfu Renhe, you're just a lost dog who's fled. What qualifications do you have to fight me? Do you think you can make a comeback by hiding these people? Don't even think about it! Now the entire palace, inside and out, up and down, is full of my people, Ban Tianyue. Even the court is no exception. Isn't this better? What can you do to me? Hahaha..."
After putting aside his worries about Huangfu Ren and his group, Bantianyue began to worry about Shi Qiuyan.
"Why hasn't Shi Qiuyan gotten rid of Huangfu Renhe yet? He's made such great contributions, he wouldn't be content to be just a general, but he hasn't asked for any reward. This doesn't make sense. I asked him to kill Huangfu Renhe, but he only said he would do his best to capture him, but there's still no news of Huangfu Renhe. What's this kid up to?"
The more Ban Tianyue thought about it, the more suspicious she felt. "Could it be that he has ulterior motives towards me, and wants to join forces with Huangfu Renhe to defeat me, then get rid of Huangfu Renhe and the others and take over Sifang City alone? Humph, Shi Qiuyan, your ambitions are much greater than I imagined!"
The more Ban Tianyue thought about it, the more he felt that he had to get rid of Shi Qiuyan to prevent future troubles. But then he changed his mind.
"No, we need people right now. If I get rid of Shi Qiuyan like this, the believers will think I'm ungrateful and their loyalty to me will be weakened. Besides, Shi Qiuyan killed so many of Huangfu Renhe's men. Even if he wanted to surrender, Huangfu Renhe might not tolerate him! Humph, Shi Qiuyan, you won't succeed that easily! After you get rid of Huangfu Renhe, your achievements will surpass your master. Because you are unwilling to be inferior to others, you will try to seize power and usurp the throne. Then, killing you, a traitor, will be justified. Hehehehe..."
Thinking of this, Bantianyue smiled proudly.
"Want to fight me? Maybe in the next life! Haha ...
