Occasionally, a nightingale's call came from the forest, crossing the calm night sky. Combined with the sound of burning dry branches, it was like a gentle requiem.
Yue Mofeng sat thoughtfully in front of the fire, quietly looking at the jade pendant in his hand.
After a long time, he raised his head and looked at the bright stars in the night sky through the gap between the branches of the big tree. There was a complex light in his eyes. At this time, he did not have his usual cold and arrogant temperament.
Suddenly, a sound broke through the air. Yue Mofeng's expression turned cold, and he was about to lift his sword. Then he heard the sound of a heavy object falling to the ground, accompanied by a low cry of pain.
"Ouch!"
Yue Mofeng took a closer look and saw that it was Yue Mochen who had fallen from the tree! But the rabbit was squatting beside it, looking at Yue Mochen with a confused look on its face.
Yue Mochen was rubbing his knees with his hands, his eyes had long been opened, but they were a little blurry.
Yue Moxue and Yue Moqing, who were also awakened, were both startled. They looked at Yue Mochen in surprise, and then at Yue Mofeng who was equally surprised. The surprised expression on the other party's face told the two women that he obviously didn't either.
Understand what happened.
"I'm having that dream again." Yue Mochen thought as he instinctively rubbed his knees, which were the first to hit the ground.
The two women floated down, and Yue Mochen noticed the strange looks in their eyes.
He touched his head awkwardly, smiled bitterly and said, "Sorry, I woke you up."
"What happened? Why did you come down suddenly, Brother Chen?" Yue Moqing asked softly with a concerned look on her face.
"I...I had a nightmare. I didn't pay attention and fell."
After saying that, Yue Mochen found that the roots of his ears were burning. It was so embarrassing!
"What??" the three of them said at the same time, then looked at each other to confirm that they heard correctly, and then asked at the same time.
"Fall? From a tree?"
A warrior with a sixth level of Qi Shi actually fell out of a tree while sleeping? This is an anecdote for the ages!
"What's so strange? I'm having a nightmare!" Yue Mochen said with a blushing face.
When the three of them heard this and looked at Yue Mochen's expression, they burst into laughter.
"I don't want to talk to you anymore."
Yue Mochen used his best rogue tactics. Everyone laughed even more happily, and he could only blush and turned his head away, not looking at the three of them.
But when he turned his head, he couldn't help but feel even more angry, because when he saw Hongyue was smiling too!
Yes, the red moon is smiling. It shows its two huge rabbit teeth, its originally demonic eyes are half-closed, and its tiny body is trembling up and down. Isn't this a smile?
Yue Mochen casually picked up Hongyue and said angrily: "People laugh at you and laugh at you. Why are you laughing at it?"
Unexpectedly, Hongyue actually followed Yue Moqing's example and stretched out its furry rabbit paws to cover her mouth.
Yue Mochen glanced helplessly at the three people who were trying not to laugh, and said, "Stop laughing, go get some rest. Yue Mofeng, I'll keep watch next, so you can rest too."
Yue Mofeng nodded, but then said: "If you are too tired, just take a rest."
Yue Moqing also echoed: "Yes, Senior Brother Chen, you must be too tired. Otherwise, you won't have nightmares. You'd better rest a little longer. I'll just keep watch."
A touch of warmth welled up in Yue Mochen's heart. He smiled and said, "It's okay. I often have some strange dreams. It has nothing to do with whether I am tired or not. I am in very good condition now."
After saying that, he also posed like a beauty contestant.
Yue Moxue said nothing, her head lowered, her pretty face had a faint blush, she didn't know whether it was because it was too hard to hold back her laughter or because she was thinking of something else.
Seeing that Yue Mochen rejected her kindness, Yue Mofeng made another nonsensical gesture and jumped into the tree without saying a word. After a few ups and downs, she also chose her resting place, and then lightly
He leaned lightly against the tree trunk and closed his eyes.
At this time, Yue Mochen said again: "Be careful, don't fall again."
...
Yue Mofeng's face was covered with black lines.
He thought to himself: Do you think everyone is like you? Also, what do you mean by falling off again? I have never fallen off before. It was obviously you who just fell off once, so don’t make it sound like I fell off, okay?
Yue Moqing smiled faintly and flew up the tree.
Finally, she said to Yue Mochen under the tree. "If you are tired, wake me up and I will change your shift."
Yue Mochen smiled and nodded in agreement, then leaned against the tree, looked at Yue Moxue and said, "Junior Sister Xue, why don't you go up?"
Yue Moxue raised her head, looked at Yue Mochen with a complicated expression, and said softly: "Senior Brother Chen, I want to talk to you, okay?"
Yue Mochen smiled and said, "Of course, come and sit. What do you want to talk about?"
"Senior Brother Chen, can you tell me your dream?"
Yue Moxue sat down beside Yue Mochen, looked at the quietly burning fire, and asked lightly.
"Of course you can, but..." Yue Mochen paused for a moment, as if thinking about how to speak.
"Actually, my dream was very strange, and I don't know what to say."
"Why is that weird?"
"It's very real, but it's like having experienced it personally. Moreover, it's also very coherent. Although the dreams don't happen at the same time, they can be connected together."
"Senior Brother Chen said before that I was in your dream?" Yue Moxue decided to find out the truth.
"Well, most of them are with you."
"Then, is it because of Senior Brother Chen's dream that Senior Brother Chen has always been so kind to Xue'er?" In this situation, Yue Moxue repeated the previous question again.
Yue Mochen was startled at first, and then he remembered that the other party's previous abnormal behavior was because of his previous answer. But according to the facts, he did start to be good to Yue Moxue because of the familiar feeling in his heart.
. But if I say it like this, will it hurt her again?
Moreover, is he really just as simple as the surface towards her? Yue Mochen doesn't know, but at the moment he already has Dongfang Ruoning in his heart, can he still tolerate Yue Moxue?
Yue Mochen suddenly felt a headache. Women are such complicated creatures.
He thought for a while and then said, "Of course not. Junior Sister Xue is so cute, everyone wants to be nice to you."
What he said was not entirely a lie. In Qianyue Palace, Yue Moxue's status in the minds of male disciples was definitely not low. Even being called a goddess in the minds of all male disciples was not an exaggeration. Except for those who only knew how to cultivate.
Who is a practicing madman who doesn’t want to have the opportunity to treat this little fairy Yue Moxue?
"Senior Brother Chen, before..."
Yue Mochen knew that the other party was bringing up old scores, so he interrupted: "The previous time was because senior brother was in an absent-minded state. At that time, senior brother was worried about the dream, so what he said at that time is not credible. Even if there was no such dream,
Senior brother will also be so kind to Junior Sister Xue."
"Well! I knew that Senior Brother Chen was the best to me!" There was a charming smile on her face, and her pretty face looked even more charming under the firelight.
For a moment, Yue Mochen was stunned.
"Senior Brother Chen..." Yue Moxue's tone suddenly became a little squeaky, as if she was hesitating about something.
"Um?"
"Do you know that Senior Sister Qing has always liked you?" She finally raised her courage and asked Yue Mochen directly.
"What?" Yue Mochen was shocked and exclaimed. But immediately Yue Moxue covered her mouth.
The two of them looked up at Yue Moqing and Yue Mofeng who were resting in the tree. They found that they were not awakened, and they breathed a sigh of relief.
Yue Moqing really didn't know that Yue Moqing liked him. He didn't have much interaction with Yue Moqing. He just saved her once when he was young, but to Yue Mochen, this was just a matter of fact.
It's an ordinary little thing, because I didn't sacrifice anything, I just used my strength to pull the other person up.
In his mind, actions like Yue Moying rescuing Yue Moran from Yue Ling can be called saving, while his help to Yue Moqing can only be regarded as a simple effort.
What's more important is that, except for that time, the two of them didn't even meet more than ten times. Yue Mochen easily forgot about this incident, and only remembered that they had met each other when they saw each other.
There is such a thing.
In other words, in his mind, the relationship between the two would never be mixed with other factors. That's why he was so surprised when Yue Moxue brought up this matter.
"Isn't it possible? Junior Sister Xue, please don't talk nonsense, this is related to Junior Sister Qing's reputation." After thinking about it, Yue Mochen still thought it was impossible, so he said to Yue Moxue with a solemn expression.
"Actually, Senior Sister Qing is pretty good, don't you think she's good enough for you?" Yue Moxue was ecstatic in her heart, but pretending to be calm and teasing Yue Mochen on the outside.
"No, it doesn't matter if I'm a man, but for you women, if such remarks are heard by others, it will have an impact on the person involved."
"Then regardless of whether this is true or not, Senior Brother Chen, do you have someone you like?" Yue Moxue asked with a blushing face.
She did not dare to look directly at the other person, but looked at the flames in front of her, but it seemed that the presence of the fire made her face too hot, so she looked away again and looked down at her feet.
"I guess so." Yue Mochen was stunned for a moment, then replied.
He subconsciously touched the ring on the ring finger of his left hand. Dongfang Ruoning's charming face appeared in his mind again, and his heart felt warm.
Yue Moxue looked a little flustered when she heard this.
Does it count? Does it mean that there is, but it is not formal? Does Senior Brother Chen refer to me? At this moment, her heart felt like a deer.
Just as he was thinking about how to respond so as not to be too embarrassed, he heard Yue Mochen speak again.
"It's just that I don't know if there will be a chance to see her again."
As soon as she said these words, Yue Moxue's originally blushing pretty face suddenly turned extremely pale.
It turns out that it was just wishful thinking all along?
She was about to say something to cover up her inner confusion, but she noticed that Yue Mochen's eyes suddenly condensed.
The latter put his index finger in front of Yue Moxue's lips, signaling her to be silent.
Just now, you said you already have someone you like, but now he is so frivolous towards you?
She was a little annoyed by the other party's sudden move, but soon realized what the other party meant.
She nodded slightly to Yue Mochen, indicating that she understood, and then tightened the weapon in her hand.
At this time, everything on the top of the peak was silent, and only the faint firelight reflected on the faces of the two people.
Suddenly, several night frogs flew up from the trees not far away, and Yue Mochen's heart sank.
Then he said in a deep voice: "Alert!"
The two people on the tree immediately reacted, holding their long swords, and flew down one after the other.
At this time, a figure in the forest rushed towards him under the faint moonlight.
