Yu Shiqi calmed down after hearing An Nianjiu's voice, let go of his hand and asked, "Why is it you...it scared me."

"Who else could be there besides me?" An Nianjiu frowned slightly, "Do you have something on your mind? Even if I tap you on the shoulder, you'd be startled."

He thought that what he was thinking just now was really treacherous, and being told by An Nianjiu that there was something wrong in his heart was a mistake, and his eyes began to dodge unnaturally for a while.

"What's wrong? Did Master Yu or Master Yan say something bad about you?"

"It's nothing, don't make blind guesses." Yu Shiqi was afraid that she would misunderstand the master and his wife, so he quickly explained.

"Oh, that's probably because Gu Mingzhou said something strange again." An Nianjiu said with a accustomed expression.

This does not mean that she guessed wrong, but Yu Shiqi didn't want to bring the topic to what she was thinking about just now, so she hurriedly left An Nianjiu on the pretext that she wanted to take a bath.

After stepping into the bathing room, he found that it was indeed very uniquely built as Gu Mingzhou said. Although it was not as comfortable a bathing pool as in the Tenri Taichangryu Dojo, it had an ingenious mechanism to guide the water to a high place and then flush it down.

He found a change of clothes left by Murong's arranger in the bamboo basket at the entrance of the shower room. There must have been something prepared for Xiao Ci in the women's shower room next door. The people in the Feng Department were very attentive, so they must have dropped by to deliver it.

Already.

The cold water washed away the dust and exhaustion of the journey, making people feel refreshed. Yu Shiqi put on the dark blue uniform of the Wind Department and returned to the wing. He happened to meet Wang Zhongsheng and Li Yuanhe, and the three of them chatted about their journey to the Western Wilderness.

The experience after the separation, until Deputy Ambassador Murong sent someone to invite everyone to come and have a meal.

Yan Yu'er, who had taken over as the head of the Konglan Sect and was in charge of the Feng Department of the Desolate Sect, appeared in front of everyone for the first time. Murong, the deputy envoy of the Feng Department, followed behind her, holding a pot of wine in his hand.

"The Fengbu operates a wine business in Nanzhou, and has many famous wines under its name." Yan Yu'er said to everyone, "But this pot of wine today is not for you to drink. Since the sect master will send the order to it,

From this moment on, you and I have been performing tasks. Ningfengtang has conditions and benefits that are not inferior to those of the Villa, but I don’t want everyone to be lazy because of this. The ten evils have not been eradicated, and there is no peace in the world. Let me tell you with this wine

Pay homage to the deceased seniors and old friends.”

Under the solemn gaze of everyone, Yan Yu'er took the unsealed wine pot from Murong's hand and spilled the wine in front of her. Then, she raised her head and stared, broke the wine pot and said loudly: "The Desolate Sect will never

Compromise and surrender to the wolves, tigers and leopards! This is our war! From today on, I and my colleagues should encourage each other!"

Before this, Yu Shiqi had never seen her show such a strong side. In his past memories, the master's wife had always been kind and quiet. In the days of Tongfeng sect, the master's wife would be quiet when they practiced swords

He would sit not far away and watch, would gently apply medicine and bandage to them when they were injured, would come to protect and comfort them when the master was admonishing and punishing them, and would also mediate and resolve disputes and conflicts among fellow disciples.

Over the years, she has been diligently fulfilling her responsibilities as the wife of the head of the Tongfeng Sect, as a teacher and a mother. Without Zongzhu Wei's sacrifice and the current crisis, she might never have picked up the sword and returned to China again.

The forefront of the Huangwu Sect's Jianghu front.

Deputy Murong signaled everyone to take their seats. The food prepared by Fengbu was quite sumptuous, including many of Nanzhou's famous products. However, after this opening ceremony, no one was still in the mood to enjoy it.

"It turns out that mother can be so strong." Yu Youci sat next to Yu Shiqi and whispered.

"I heard Auntie Xiaozhou say that when she was young, Master Wei followed Sect Leader Wei, and she was always at the forefront when the Fengbu took action."

"It seems that my reckless and impulsive personality is more inherited from my mother." Yu Youci laughed at himself, "Dad has always been very calm, and I have never seen him act recklessly."

"In addition to practicing martial arts and swordsmanship, master also pays attention to self-cultivation. This is natural."

Yu Youci glanced at him and said resentfully: "Why don't you comfort me? It seems that you also feel that I often mess up, right? Or are you angry with me?"

"Why am I angry?" Yu Shiqi smiled.

"Just what I said in front of my mother just now..."

"That's right." He shook his head nonchalantly, "In the past, I might have been really sad for a while, but I won't be anymore."

"Why?" Yu Youci looked at him a little nervously.

"I have found my parents, and I know that they have had to deal with difficulties over the years, so I will not resent my life experience." He smiled faintly, "Now that I think about it, if you didn't tell me the truth back then, maybe my master and my wife would.

If you hide it from me for a lifetime, I will never have the chance to recognize my parents."

Yu Youci's eyes dimmed, and she felt regretful in every possible way when she thought of how she had hurt him. In fact, her original intention was not to destroy the happiness that "Yu Yanzhi" had. It was just that she was too naive and selfish at the time, thinking that she would get rid of her biological brothers and sisters.

After this blood barrier, you can naturally have your own happiness.

"Brother is a hero who doesn't want to be dependent on others. I was wrong." She lowered her head and whispered.

"Hero... hero... this is too much of a reputation, huh? What did you mean by the last part of the sentence?" Yu Shiqi's hand holding the chopsticks shook, and the dish he held fell on the small wooden table in front of him.

.

"I said, I was wrong." Yu Youci turned her cheek slightly, letting him see her tearful eyes, "I wanted to suppress you by exposing the fact that you are not my parents' child, and then tell you at the appropriate time.

You and I are still willing to tolerate you, hoping to tame you... Now it seems that I made too many mistakes. I don't know if you have misunderstood me, I..."

"Let the past pass away with the wind." Yu Shiqi smiled and said, "Don't think too much. The master's wife has a heavy responsibility now. Even if we can't share her worries, we should at least not cause her troubles."

"I know." Yu Youci held back her tears and murmured in a low voice, "I'm just...a little depressed."

Yu Shiqi didn't say anything. He thought that the more serious his sister was about this matter, the more calm he would have to be. Only in this way could they overcome the hurdle that had been planted in their hearts.

An Nianjiu and Gu Mingzhou, who were sitting across from each other, had long noticed something was wrong with their brother and sister. Gu Mingzhou didn't know the inside story and thought there was some conflict between Yu Shiqi and Yu Youci, but An Nianjiu on the side was not aware of this situation.

A hole is like watching a fire.

When Gu Mingzhou heard An Nianjiu sigh, he couldn't help but look at her strangely. When the latter noticed it, he responded with a blank stare.

"No, I'm just curious about the disputes between people from the same family. Why are you sighing?"

"Were you so curious when you were in Wangchuan?" An Nianjiu asked angrily, "Then how did you survive to this day under Nie Guijiang?"

"Be curious about unimportant things, and be slow about important things." Gu Mingzhou shrugged, "In this way, over time, everyone will think that you are an honest person who does no harm."

"Been taught a lesson."

"Can you satisfy my curiosity?"

"It's an insignificant thing to you, but it's a crucial thing to me." An Nianjiu responded coldly, "So I can't."

"Then I can only guess."
