The next day was the day of mourning.
All the peaks of Tianlan Sect were covered in white, and all the disciples in the sect were in mourning, with expressions of grief.
There were one hundred disciples guarding the Third Elder's body in the mourning hall, including thirty disciples who went to Wucha Town, and the remaining seventy disciples were all disciples directly taught by various peaks.
Yu Xingwu was also on the list of disciples guarding the body.
At this time, he was kneeling in the mourning hall wearing white disciple mourning clothes, and on his left and right were Ye Su and Shen Zhuo.
Probably because he saw Shen Zhuo's clothes unbuttoned on the flying boat yesterday, and his eyes subconsciously glanced at Shen Zhuo's collar.
This was not a big deal, but I felt in my heart that I couldn’t afford to offend him!
Before coming to the mourning hall to keep vigil, she thought Shen Zhuo would find an excuse not to come for the next three days. After all, the Third Elder killed his parents, and there was no reason for him to keep vigil for his enemy.
But Shen Zhuo came anyway, and the expression on his face was the same as usual, with no sign of anything unusual at all.
This made her sigh that the villain's forbearance was really strong!
But just now, perhaps because Shen Zhuo bent down and lowered his head, she saw a touch of brilliant red under the slightly loosened collar.
It can be seen that under the plain white mourning clothes for disciples, he was wearing a bright red inner shirt.
Red, we mean who wears red for vigil? How offensive! Aren't you afraid that the third elder's coffin lid will loosen?
Fortunately, she only saw it for a moment. If other people saw it, I don’t know what they would say about him.
Yu Xingwu curled her lips and rubbed her knees. She had been kneeling in the mourning hall for most of the day since early morning.
In addition to the elders, masters, and peak masters of Tianlan Sect who came to pay their respects, many powerful people from other sects also came to pay their respects to the Third Elder.
Some who had a close relationship with the Third Elder even cried in the mourning hall as they recounted past events.
He spoke for half an hour without paying any attention to other people who came to pay their respects, nor did he feel thirsty. His main theme was reminiscing about the past and the fleeting years.
Yu Zheng had left the sect before, and as soon as he returned today he went to the mourning hall to pay his respects to the Third Elder.
It has been three months in the sword tomb and three years in the outside world. For Yu Zheng, it has been a long time since he last saw Yu Xingwu.
It can be said that since having a daughter, Yu Xingwu, Yu Zheng has not been separated from his daughter for such a long time.
When he walked into the mourning hall, his eyes were not on the spirit tablet of the third elder, but he saw Yu Xingwu kneeling in the mourning hall.
Although Yu Zheng did not go with the demon-killing team in Wucha Town, what happened on this trip was known to everyone. Even if Yu Zheng did not inquire, the information in the jade slip would have spread far and wide.
Yu Zheng was very satisfied with Yu Xingwu's performance in this demon-slaying campaign, but he was disappointed with his biological daughter Yu Yuefu.
In Yu Zheng's opinion, even if he has a bad temper and is arrogant and unreasonable, it is better than lying and saying that he saved someone!
But she was his own daughter after all, so Yu Zheng could only blame himself for not teaching Yu Yuefu well, and convince himself that it was Yu Yuefu who was eager to prove herself that made her lie.
But people are like this, they always compare everything, just like in the eyes of parents, the one who defeats you is always the child of other children, it's the same principle.
In addition, they hadn't seen each other for three years, so Yu Zheng now found Yu Xingwu more pleasing to the eye.
He even forgot about his previous plan to question Yu Xingwu about why she pushed Yu Yuefu off the cliff of the sword tomb.
Yu Xingwu noticed that Yu Zheng was looking at her, but his eyes were not as angry as before.
It was true that she hadn't seen Yu Zheng for some time. When she saw Yu Zheng, she immediately remembered something.
[Tong, I promised Qin Ying that I would give her a picture of Yu Zheng's abdominal muscles. Can you help me think of a way to deal with this? Do you know when Yu Zheng will take a bath in the spiritual spring? So we can go spy on him, ugh, secretly take a picture of his abdominal muscles! ]
Ye Su: “?”
Shen Zhuo: “?”
Both of them were stunned.
I never expected that after not seeing Yu Zheng for three years, the first thing Yu Xingwu thought about when they met was how to see Yu Zheng's abdominal muscles.
Shen Zhuo: Becoming more and more shameless.
Ye Su: Even if Yu Zheng uses the anti-aging technique to keep his youthful appearance, he is already old. Junior sister, why don’t you look at me? (? ???ω??? ?)
Yu Zheng did not hear Yu Xingwu's inner voice, but after meeting Yu Xingwu's gaze, he felt inexplicably happy.
Yu Zheng: Jiaojiao looked at me. Jiaojiao still thinks of me as her father. When Jiaojiao entered the sword tomb three years ago, my tone was too harsh. Next time I speak to Jiaojiao, my tone must be gentler.
After all, she is the daughter I raised, and it is not good to have a rift between them.
He hadn't had a meal with Jiaojiao for a long time, so he decided to arrange a dinner party after the condolences were over, and also celebrate her contract with the artifact Frost Sword.
When Yu Zheng left the mourning hall, Yu Xingwu had a puzzled look on her face, because she found that Yu Zheng suddenly became very happy! The corners of his mouth were almost shoulder to shoulder with the sun!
[Good fellow, each of you is abnormal! ]
[How can someone offer condolences and look so happy as if he had taken a pill? The Third Elder's coffin lid can't even cover it! ]
Shen Zhuo: If I can’t cover it up, I’ll just kill him again.
Ye Su: Gouxi Pills? What kind of pill is this?
Judging from the literal meaning, it should be a pill that would make even dogs happy.
So, after wild vegetables, Junior Sister wants to eat Gouxi Pills?
As long as Junior Sister wants to eat it, even if he has never heard of it, he will find a way to refine the Dog Joy Pill. Then Junior Sister will definitely be happy.
He suddenly remembered that he had brought something for his junior sister.
Yu Xingwu was wondering why Yu Zheng was so happy, when she suddenly felt her arm being gently pulled by Ye Su.
When she lowered her head, she saw Ye Su holding a piece of dessert that looked extremely delicate and delicious. It was in no way inferior to the flower tea dessert that the young master of the Wang family gave her!
[Tong! This male lead is so cute! I was kneeling for a long time and just wanted to eat, and he gave me some snacks! Whose senior brother brings snacks to the funeral hall! It's hard not to love him! ]
The system nodded rapidly: "As expected of you, the reader's second male lead! So considerate!"
"That's not right. This is the heroine's second male lead, not your second male lead. Why would the second male lead give snacks to you, a vicious female supporting role, instead of giving snacks to the heroine?!"
“Wow, the plot has gone awry again——!” But it worked!
[…Don’t panic, Tong. How can the plot be ruined by just a piece of dessert? ]
[You know, few girls can resist desserts, especially desserts that look so good. Anyway, I, a dessert lover, can’t resist it! ]
System: “…” You’re a face lover + a foodie!
Ye Su: As long as Junior Sister likes him, that’s good. Besides, Junior Sister just said that… it’s hard not to like him.
So, she really doesn't love Shen Zhuo anymore, right?
Then could he...even though she was still engaged.
"Junior sister, eat your snacks now while no one is here to pay their respects. Don't go hungry. The vigil will last three days."
Ye Su lowered his voice very low. He had a gentle voice to begin with, and it was like a spring breeze blowing past his ears. He also handed the snack in his hand to Yu Xingwu's mouth.
It was so close that a corner of the dessert almost touched Yu Xingwu's lips.
