The shore is wide, the mound is thin and the waves are vast, and the thoughts are long just by relying on the dangerous threshold.

The trees are far away outside the sparse forest, and half of the autumn mountains are filled with the sunset.

I carefully observed Wan Jing's reaction. I imagined that she might be fist-and-legged, or indifferent, or secretly sad, or... However, I didn't expect that she would actually laugh out loud. It was still very exaggerated. It wouldn't be that she could not stand such strong stimulation and caused mental disorder. I looked around and wanted to find the figure of a beautiful immortal. I was not very good at the aftermath.

"This story is really funny." Wanjing stopped laughing and praised, "For a while, I really believe the story you told. Let's reveal the last sentence!"

"What I said is true." I said seriously.

"Come on, my mother's vision is not that bad." Wan Jing smiled unnaturally, "I don't have time to talk nonsense with you. Don't talk nonsense about this. My mother knows that it's not a joke."

Wanjing hurriedly stood up and rushed towards the other side of the stream. When she came to the other side, she shook her figure and landed on the stream. The stream water was soaked in her shoes and socks. She ran towards the direction of the stone house regardless of the short distance. Such a short distance shouldn't have made such a mistake. It seemed that her heart was even more panicked than me. I just thought I was not ready, and it seemed that she was not ready either.

Wanjing, who has always been strong, chose to escape at this time. What is strong is her appearance, and she has a sensitive and fragile heart.

"Let her calm down!" Meixian appeared behind me and said softly, "This child has been strong since childhood. Seeing that others live with their parents, she feels very inferior in her heart, but she just keeps asking what I don't say. When other children say that she relies on her martial arts to fight back. Later, she slowly pretends to be arrogant and rude. This protects herself and makes her much more introverted."

"Then she won't do anything stupid, right?" I asked worriedly.

"Let her think about it first, it will be fine if she figured it out." Meixian said gently, "I have gradually handed over the burden of Dongming Sect to her over the years, just to train her mind and ability. I hope she can withstand any pressure. This incident has had too much impact on her. Although she doesn't say it, she has been thinking about it in her heart. This child has suffered over the years."

At this moment, a flute sound rang out in time. The flute sound was gentle and wonderful, like a breeze blowing through the heart, making people feel calm and all they think of are beautiful things, which have a soothing effect. It is very suitable for Wanjing's current situation. I am very grateful to Shi Qingxuan for help.

"What should I do in the future?" I asked.

"Shh!" Meixian said softly, "After listening to this song, everyone's song is not something that everyone has the chance to hear."

Meixian and I snuggled by the stream. Meixian sat in Wan'er's seat just now, listening quietly to the melodious sound of the flute. The beautiful memories of the past came to my heart one by one. Meixian and I looked at each other and smiled, everything was silent, and all the problems were no longer a problem.

*******

The song ends, and the setting sun shines.

Here, I am not a notorious passerby in the world, she is not a prominent gang leader, we are just an ordinary secular man and woman, snuggling together to watch the sunset and enjoying life.

"Let's live in seclusion!" I couldn't help but say, thinking of Sun Simiao's proposal. "I live this kind of life every day. In Ryukyu, there are fine waves and white sand, the sea and sky are the same color, colorful shells on the beach, and sea birds play on the water. In the evening, watching the sunset set down, and to sleep with the sound of the waves at night."

"You have never been to Ryukyu. You used such sweet words to coax me there." Meixian chuckled, "It is indeed a place with charming scenery, but there are also great risks. There are beasts in the deep forest. Locals are not friendly. Conflicts often break out. The sea also has a cruel side. There are often storms passing by the sea, sweeping away a large number of people and animals. The sea breeze will wrinkle the skin, and the blazing light will burn the skin. The locals all look dark. The food there is very simple, not as rich and exquisite as the Central Plains, and the accommodation conditions are very poor. It is not suitable for long-term living. So I have been in the Central Plains for a longer time these years."

"Uh..." I scratched my head, a little embarrassed.

The sun and beaches in my memory are tourist resorts like the Maldives in later generations. The enjoyment of five-star hotels. It seems that the primitive sun and beaches are hard to bear. The dream of seclusion in a deserted island is just a paper talk and is not very operational. Even if you live in seclusion, you have to find a place close to a big city, at least it is more convenient to live.

"It is our last refuge." Meixian sighed, "If we cannot gain a foothold in the Central Plains, we still have a way out, and now we can only move forward."

This is a heavy topic, but I have to ask, although I am relatively lazy, I cannot always let the beautiful immortals take on all this.

"How is the Jianghuai Army?"

"The Jianghuai Army has developed very well. The Dongming Sect can currently dominate the voice, but once the Song clan intervenes, the situation will be one-sided." Meixian said helplessly, "If we want to unify Jiangnan, we must get the support of the Song clan. It depends on what the Song clan needs? Is it the status of a prince that dominates one side or the whole world? Song Que has always understood the tolerance. Once such a person chooses the right time to take action, it will be very terrible."

"So can we still withdraw? Just as a weapon supplier?" I retreated. Whether it is cooperation or confrontation with the giant Song Valve, it is a very terrifying thing.

"I'm afraid it's difficult." Meixian analyzed, "Since my mother learned about the relationship between Bai Qing'er and Bai Yujing, the Yingui Sect has shifted its focus from the Poyang Gang to the Jianghuai Army. Lin Shihong can be sacrificed at the critical moment. Now it depends on how the Song clan responds. Xi Ying's sudden appearance this time is also related to the Yingui Sect. My mother wants to use Xi Ying as a chess piece to test Song Que's reaction."

"Oh, you have known for a long time that Xi should appear in Bashu?" I asked.

So, Meixian’s reaction in front of Shi Qingxuan just now was just pretending, and she was still so alert to those who had something to do with Shi Zhixuan.

"Since I left the Yingui Sect eighteen years ago, she has never forgiven me. What she hates most in her life is being betrayed, especially those she trusts." Meixian smiled bitterly, "This news was transmitted from Qing'er. The ones who came to Bashu and Xi Ying this time were Bian Bufu and Wanwan. Xi Ying's challenge this time was Jie Hui and Song Que. If one of them could seriously hurt one of them, the situation in the entire Jiangnan would change. My mother would come in person. Yingui Sect has great ambitions this time."

"I will go to see your mother with you when I have time. It's all my fault." I blamed myself, "My queen may talk about the unification of the Holy Sect for the sake of me, the false evil emperor. I remember that on the boat heading to Chang'an eighteen years ago, your mother and I had a bet."

"Maybe this is an opportunity, maybe the Holy Gate has been separated for too long." Meixian sighed, "Things back then were really wonderful. You are so sure that the Sui Dynasty would perish in eighteen years. At that time, even my mother thought it was just your refusal, but who knew that after only eighteen years, the Sui Dynasty fell apart, and the heroes competed for the world, and the world was in chaos. It was the time when the Holy Gate rose."

"You, even though you left the Yingui Sect, you still can't escape the shackles of the Holy Sect." I held Meixian's hand and teased, "Then what's going on with Xi Ying..."

"Let's watch it get better." Meixian said softly.
