With long black hair blowing in the wind, Ye Chen stepped out of the attic with a calm face, looking at the backs of the Ye family coming and going, feeling peaceful in his heart.
Entering the Qi Martial Realm, Ye Chen looked more and more extraordinary, but on the surface he looked like an ordinary scholar. He was still walking on the path back to the courtyard, but the feeling was different every time. Ye Chen was like this
Walking quietly on the path, Ye Chen didn't stop until the courtyard appeared in Ye Chen's sight.
The familiar osmanthus tree in the courtyard had been cut down at some point, but in the courtyard, there was still that figure and the shadow of the swinging sword.
Lan Gu, on the other hand, was sitting in the house, mending something. Regarding this, Ye Chen took a deep breath, this is home, the home that he will miss no matter how long he leaves.
Pushing open the wooden door of the courtyard, the figure in the courtyard paused, rarely put down the sword in his hand, turned around, a smile appeared on his face, and smiled at Ye Chen: "He's back!"
"Brother Mu, long time no see!" Looking at Mu Chen's slightly dark face, Ye Chen also showed a smile, a smile from the heart. However, after feeling the aura on Mu Chen's body, Ye Chen
Chen couldn't help but have a look of surprise on his face, and said in astonishment: "Qi Martial Realm? Brother Mu, you have broken through to the Martial Arts Realm."
Mu Chen's face also showed a hint of astonishment, and he immediately smiled and said: "You are the same! Hehe, Ye Chen, if I remember correctly, you are only about to be sixteen years old!"
Ye Chen still remembered that Huo Qilin once said that Mu Chen had understood the artistic conception. As long as he broke through the martial arts realm, the bottleneck of the Qi martial arts realm would no longer be a bottleneck for him, which meant that Mu Chen would eventually reach the realm one day.
Soul Martial Realm, but Ye Chen still didn't expect that Mu Chen would break through to the Martial Arts Realm in just a few months. Could it be that the guy in front of him has more abnormal qualifications than himself? Thinking about this, Ye Chen couldn't help but sigh with emotion, and laughed softly: "Congratulations! Finally!
Breaking through the martial arts realm!" Hearing this, Mu Chen chuckled and nodded, but there was inexplicable sadness in his eyes again. He turned around and looked at the tomb a few meters away, the cold stone slab, and the lilac flowers carved on the tombstone.
, there were some withered vegetation remaining around the stone slab, and Mu Chen couldn't move his eyes away when his eyes rested on the tomb.
After taking a few steps forward, Ye Chen also stared at the stone slab, slowly squatted down and whispered: "Mu Ye, I'm back!"
The cold wind blew and rolled up Mu Chen's long hair as white as snow. At this moment, Mu Chen said: "Ye Chen, I want to go out."
"Are you going to kill Ma Yan?" Ye Chen's eyes moved away from the stone slab and fell on Mu Chen's empty gaze. He said softly. The cold wind blew by and rolled up the dead leaves on the ground, creating a chilling atmosphere.
It filled the entire courtyard, and the birds in the courtyard were frightened and flew out. Mu Chen nodded slightly and said calmly: "He lived too long!"
After saying that, the long sword held tightly in Mu Chen's right hand couldn't help but tremble, and he let out a compassionate sword chant. The sword penetrated people's hearts. Listening to the sword chant, Ye Chen could feel the compassion in Mu Chen's heart at this moment.
Compassion? Ye Chen stood up slowly, looked across the courtyard, fell on the busy figures in the distance, and said softly: "Yes! But it's not time to kill him."
"Why?" Mu Chen said with a slightly surprised tone, to which Ye Chen smiled and explained: "Now, a sword tomb suddenly appeared in the ruined domain, and Ma Yan, as the deputy lord of Luoxia City, must have known about it for a long time. I heard that
, his whereabouts were unknown a few months ago, and now you can’t find him even if you go to the manor in Luoxia City!”
"I can go to the Wasteland to find him!" Mu Chen still didn't give up. Ye Chen was not him, so Ye Chen couldn't feel the murderous intention towards Ma Yan in Mu Chen's heart.
"Oh, after seven days, the family will enter the Wasteland, and Ma Yan will definitely show up at that time!" Ye Chen half-squinted his eyes and said lightly, if the Ye family and the royal family unite, then Ma Yan, as the deputy city lord, should be tight
Following those members of the royal family, perhaps it would be Ma Yan's death by then. Thinking of this, a coldness flashed across Ye Chen's dark eyes.
"Okay!" Suppressing the murderous intention in his heart, Mu Chen's eyes once again returned to the empty look before. The long sword in his right hand thrust out like lightning, and a sharp explosion sounded in vain. Seeing this, Ye Chen's face rarely flashed.
Standing next to Mu Chen with a look of surprise, Ye Chen clearly felt that Mu Chen's sword did not use true energy, but its speed was so terrifying and its power should not be underestimated.
If Mu Chen uses sword energy, how powerful will this sword be? There is no defense, no fancy, just a sword that kills the enemy or me.
The sharp explosion also alarmed Lan Gu in the house. Lan Gu put down her robe and pushed open the door. When she saw the familiar figure in the courtyard, the corners of Lan Gu's eyes couldn't help but moisten, and she stepped out.
His footsteps couldn't help but stop in mid-air, and he looked at the figure quietly, muttering softly: "The young master has become taller!"
Ye Chen also turned around suddenly, raised the corners of his mouth slightly, looked at Lan Gu, and choked with sobs: "Lan Gu, I'm back!"
Under the treatment of the elixir, all the diseases in Lan Gu's body were eradicated. At this moment, Lan Gu looked younger and younger, her overall condition also improved, and the wrinkles between the corners of her eyes were no longer so obvious. Seeing this,
Ye Chen couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief. Lan Gu wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes and said with a smile: "It'll be good to come back, it'll be good to come back!"
Suddenly, a gurgling sound came from Ye Chen's stomach. Ye Chen touched his nose with his right hand and said with a smile: "Lan Gu, I'm hungry. I really miss the pigeon rice you cooked."
"Master, please wait, I will do it for you right away." Lan Gu immediately grabbed the apron hanging on the wall, tied it on herself, and walked towards the cooking. After a few moments, the smoke from the kitchen slowly began to appear.
Looking at the smoke from the kitchen and Lan Gu's happy face, Ye Chen couldn't help but whisper: "It feels so good to be at home!"
At this moment, Ye Chen felt that he understood the secret guard's approach to protecting the people he cherished the most. Even if they were running around outside and fighting against death all day long, they could still make the people they cherished the most live a good life.
Hearing this, Mu Chen, who was dancing with a sword, couldn't help but nodded in agreement. Only when he was wandering alone could he feel the warmth of home better. Although it was just a thatched house, it couldn't be replaced by those magnificent attics.
Seven days later, in the early morning, the mist filled the courtyard, the courtyard was still the same, the melodious sound of the piano was floating in the courtyard, and Mu Chen danced his sword as always.
Beside the courtyard, Ye Chen was sitting cross-legged on the ground. In front of him was a small wooden table. On the wooden table were a piano and an incense burner. The incense burner was constantly emitting white gas.
Wearing a black robe, Ye Chen's face was calm, and his slender fingers kept shaking on the strings. As the strings were plucked, the melodious sound of the piano came out. However, if you look closely, you will find that in Ye Chen's hands
It didn't actually touch the strings, but was less than an inch away from the strings, and the light blue Qi shot out from Ye Chen's fingertips.
Ye Chen actually controlled his true energy to pluck the strings. The terrifying nature of Ye Chen's true energy could not make the strings break. From this, it can be seen that Ye Chen's control of true energy has reached the level of miraculous skills.
, as the hand postures continue to change, the Qi in the fingertips also changes constantly, and the sound of the piano also changes accordingly, sometimes high, sometimes low.
The true energy was flowing slowly in Ye Chen's body. At this moment, it looked like Ye Chen was getting more and more dusty. His dark eyes were as clear as a vigorous spring, without the slightest intention to kill.
If the sound of the piano wants to infect others, it must first infect oneself. At this moment, Ye Chen is gradually intoxicated by the sound of his own piano. He slowly closes his eyes. What emerges in Ye Chen's eyes is not the bloody scene with corpses everywhere.
, instead of the tragic scene of rivers of blood, Ye Chen seemed to have transformed into a flying roc, soaring in the nine heavens, looking down at the vast land below.
His mood was always so peaceful and there was no killing. The murderous intention in Ye Chen's heart was constantly washed away, and Ye Chen looked more and more innocent.
Unknowingly, Ye Chen's state of mind improved at an extremely slow speed. Although it was slow, it was always improving. Indistinctly, the strength of Ye Chen's soul also increased.
As the sound of the piano continued to drift, Mu Chen rarely stopped his sword and stood quietly on the spot, looking at Ye Chen with his eyes closed, a look of surprise appeared on his face.
Until the rising sun dispersed the mist in the courtyard, Ye Chen's music stopped, his eyes opened, and he murmured softly: "Is the time up?"
