After Xu Yan and Gu Xueqing entered the room, they didn't know that the young couple downstairs had this conversation, but even if they knew, with Xu Yan's temperament, they would just laugh it off and not take it too much.

As for Gu Xueqing, only she knows it.

Xu Yan did not plan to sleep peacefully, but planned to choose meditation and practice as usual. After Gu Xueqing, who had already washed up, returned to the room and saw him like this, he hesitated for a moment, and said, "Don't you sleep?" You are really hardworking. It seems that since I met you to this day, I have never seen you sleep like an ordinary person. Is cultivation really so important to you?"

After hearing this, Xu Yan smiled and replied, "When I was at Qixingdun, my cultivation level had reached a bottleneck, but it has been so long since I went down the mountain, but there has been no sign of a breakthrough. So I thought, if I have time, I practice for a while, and I might not break through inadvertently."

When Gu Xueqing heard him say this, she slowly sat on her bed, but she did not sit cross-legged like Xu Yan, but instead put her feet together and bent, then wrapped her hands around her and hugged her tightly. Finally, she saw her put her pointed chin between her knees.

Seeing that she suddenly looked like a little girl, her eyes were floating, and she looked straight ahead without replying to her words. She looked like she was stunned and thought of what she said bad things about Aunt Yin, which made her angry, and she didn't know what to say. But no matter what, he was always a man, and it was not a big deal to make the atmosphere of seeing each other so awkward.

So, after pondering for a while, Xu Yan still asked, "Senior Sister Gu has any worries recently?"

Gu Xueqing's face was still the same, but she shook her head dullly. It was not until a while later that she suddenly spoke: "Actually... it's a little bit."

After hearing this, Xu Yan smiled and said, "If the senior sister wants to say, I'll listen."

When Gu Xueqing heard him say this, she immediately turned her head to look at him and said softly, "Junior brother, you are really cunning sometimes." Seeing that Xu Yan also smiled at herself with an awkward expression, she withdrew her gaze, slowly lowered her smile, and became a little melancholy and said, "It's not a big deal, but for some reason, even though she knew that she was getting closer and closer to her hometown, she felt a little timid, as if she didn't dare to get close to her..."

When Xu Yan heard her say this, he asked, "Why do you feel this way?"

Gu Xueqing replied, "I don't know, so I feel inexplicable. I often want to come back and take a look, but with this opportunity, I realize that I am actually afraid of it. In fact, I will not hide it from my junior brother. I felt this way after I really stepped into Yanxi Township. Although at that moment, my heart felt unprecedentedly quiet and at ease, but when I came to Taoxi and came to this place where I had stopped when I was a child, I looked at the scenery that seemed to be aging for many years, and I became a little scared."

Gu Xueqing suddenly had tears in her eyes, smiled and turned to Xu Yan and asked, "Is it useless? I am actually afraid of returning to my hometown."

When Xu Yan saw this scene, he couldn't help but be moved by the emotions that came from her heart at this moment. He took a deep breath, but millions of scenery were involuntarily passing through his mind.

Of course he did not think about the past, otherwise he would not have been thinking about how to improve his cultivation faster. It was just that he wanted to return to the world he had been in, and now he tried his best. After a while, Xu Yan sighed and replied, "Senior Sister Gu is very brave."

Gu Xueqing thought she had heard it awkwardly, so she said in confusion, "Hmm?"

Seeing her gaze looking at her with suspicion, Xu Yan smiled and repeated, saying, "I said Senior Sister Gu is very brave. Actually, I can understand your feelings, but not everyone will have that. If a person does not really love his hometown deeply, he may be tired and tired when he leaves his hometown, and he will want to go back and rest for a while. However, such a person can be ready to go and pack his bags and go back to the road. He probably won't feel scared every time he returns home. So the reason why Senior Sister Gu is afraid is probably because he knows that after he leaves this time, he may not go back again."

Gu Xueqing was speechless, but she couldn't stop crying.

...

No words all night.

Gu Xueqing finally lay back in the quilt, but because she was lying on her side and facing away from Xu Yan, Xu Yan didn't know whether she fell asleep later.

The next morning, the sky gradually opened.

It is almost six or seven minutes from Mao.

Seeing that Gu Xueqing was lying down, he still had no intention of getting up, so he stood up from the bed first. After that, he gently walked to the window and pulled the glowing curtains so that Gu Xueqing could sleep soundly. However, after he pulled the curtains and turned to wash, he realized that Gu Xueqing was indeed asleep like a child, but the pillow under her white face was full of tears.

When Xu Yan saw this scene, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart. Compared to her, she was undoubtedly a typical "ruthless" person.

Xu Yan did not wake her up. After a brief wash, she took the lead in going downstairs to the front yard to breathe in the fresh morning air.

The morning light in the mountains is very gentle. Taoxi Village was originally a village built at the foot of the mountain, and there was also a stream in front of the village that was rushing and gurgling.

When Xu Yan went downstairs, only the young couple had already gotten up early to prepare breakfast. However, the man was honest and honest, not good at polite greetings, so he just smiled at Xu Yan, but did not forget to give him a pot of tea.

Tea is picked from the local mountain green. Although Taoxi Village is also affiliated with Yanxi Township, except for the tea garden in Gujiaao, tea from other areas can no longer be called spring rain. However, Xu Yan has never cared about these things. Although after the "influence" of his master and Lao Qiao, he has some understanding of tea culture, but that is only written understanding, not to make him picky about the choice of tea when drinking tea.

After drinking two cups of tea, it was almost two quarters of an hour.

Xu Yan saw Gu Xueqing slowly coming down from the building. At this moment, she was dressed cleanly and neatly. Even though she was still dressed like a scholar, she was elegant and looked better than Xu Yan. Of course, this is due to her being a woman, so she naturally looked much more delicate in her face.

When Xu Yan saw her walking towards her, he took the initiative to pour her a cup of tea and said with a smile: "Are you awake?"

Although Gu Xueqing was dressed up properly, her eyes still looked a little red and swollen because she cried too much last night. It was said that the woman was made of water. This is really not an exaggeration, because Xu Yan knew very well that if it were him, she would not be able to swollen eyes no matter what.

When Gu Xueqing heard Xu Yan's question, she took a sip of hot tea and nodded softly.

Seeing that she looked a little restrained, Xu Yan stopped continuing the topic and just smiled and said, "That's good, then we will continue to rush forward after we finish breakfast."

Just as Xu Yan finished speaking, the young man who had been busy all morning came with a bowl of hot porridge and several dishes, including two eggs boiled in clean water.

After seeing this, Xu Yan smiled and thanked the other party. The young man smiled and said, "If the two young men think that the porridge is not enough after eating, remember to come to the kitchen to add it."

Xu Yan smiled and replied, "Okay, thank you for your hard work in the store."

After hearing this, the young man smiled and said no need to be polite, so he went back to the kitchen.

After breakfast is used, it is about three o'clock in the morning.

Xu Yan first paid the money, and then replaced the drinking water in the water bag in the store before saying goodbye to the young couple and continuing to head north.

After leaving Taoxi Village, it was not too far from walking out of the entire Yanxi Township. Therefore, at around noon, they finally entered the return market built north of Yanxi.

In the market, the atmosphere was bustling, with crowds on the main street and noisy. If Gu Xueqing hadn't helped confirm, Xu Yan would have even felt that he had arrived in Wuyang Town.

Xu Yan asked with a smile to Gu Xueqing, who took the initiative to lead the way in front of him, "Senior Sister Gu, is this your hometown? The prosperity here is almost no less than that of the centers of major towns, right? In my opinion, Songyang Town is far from being as good as here."

After hearing this, Gu Xueqing replied, "That's right, but my family is not in the backflow, but outside the market. However, the changes here are really big. It's a world of difference from when I left."

When Xu Yan heard this, he couldn't help but ask curiously: "I don't know how long Sister Gu has been in the sect."

Gu Xueqing replied bluntly without thinking: "I went to the sect when I was ten years old. It has been eleven years since now."

Xu Yan heard that the other party had been away for eleven years, and he was not surprised at all. He just asked with a smile: "It's been so long, so it's not surprising that things have changed. Then we will do it next, why don't we find a restaurant to finish lunch? After lunch, I will continue north."

Gu Xueqing nodded and replied, "Okay, after lunch, let's part ways here. We will gather in Wangchuan City at the end of the year, but I must ask me to treat you to this meal. If it weren't for me, my junior brother wouldn't have to wait here for so long."

When Xu Yan heard the other party’s old story re-introduction, he waved his hand and said, “Senior Sister Gu, why are you talking about these things again? Just follow the way, don’t take it to heart.”

When Gu Xueqing heard him say this, she sighed softly in her heart and stopped saying anything.

...

After being commissioned by the man surnamed Shi, Gu Qingfeng arranged personnel and began to lay out eyeliners in the market, and began to pay attention to the scholars who came and went through here.

When returning, the probability of passing scholars appearing is extremely low. After all, this is not a major transportation road, and it is far from the official road outside. Therefore, as soon as Xu Yan and the other two entered the return road, they were actually arranged by Gu Qingfeng on the street to look at it.

"What did you say? Two scholars entered the return flow together?" Gu Qingfeng immediately stopped drinking tea after hearing the message from his subordinates. He then asked, "Then where are they now?"

The teahouse servant replied: "If you go back to the shopkeeper, these two scholars did not stop too much after entering the market. They followed the main street and walked towards us. It would probably not take long to reach the downstairs of our teahouse."

When Gu Qingfeng heard this answer, he nodded and said, "I understand, you go down, I'll go downstairs and take a look."

The servant in the teahouse bent down to salute and exited the private room.

After Gu Qingfeng left, he murmured, "How come there are two scholars in the end? Forget it, since they are together, I'll go and have a look first."

After Gu Xueqing came downstairs, she chose a square table close to the door to sit down. Since it was time for dining, the teahouse was very lively. However, the cashier below was sitting on the dining table when he saw that it was the shopkeeper himself, and he hurried over to say hello and said, "Shopkeeper, why did you come down in person? Are you going to have lunch here?"

After hearing this, Gu Qingfeng waved his hand: "No, I'm here just to wait for two people. You told the servants to send my food to the top floor as usual. I'll go up and have a meal later."

After hearing this, the cashier nodded and replied, "Yes, the shopkeeper."

Not long after Gu Qingfeng sat here, at the end of his vision, two young men with scholar-like appearances appeared in his vision, which made Gu Qingfeng's eyes more focused, but then, as the two scholars got closer to the teahouse, when Gu Qingfeng could fully see their faces, he suddenly stood up from his seat.

Without any hesitation, Gu Qingfeng walked out of the teahouse and stood in front of the door, then waited quietly for the two scholars to come towards him.

When Gu Xueqing saw the person in front of her, her figure became so bloated that she couldn't help but feel a little afraid to recognize her. However, in the end, she successfully recognized the other party and said, "Uncle?"

After hearing this, Gu Qingfeng smiled and replied, "Xiaoxue, if it weren't for your appearance and looking really like your father, with your outfit, my uncle would really not recognize you in this vast crowd."

Gu Xueqing smiled softly and replied, "My uncle has changed a lot. Xiaoxue thought, who occupied my uncle's teahouse?"

After hearing this, Gu Qingfeng laughed and said, "It's not my uncle's bragging. In this entire Yanxi village, the person who can steal your uncle's teahouse has not been born yet." Without waiting for Gu Xueqing to say anything, Gu Qingfeng smiled and said to her, "What, Xiaoxue, don't you introduce your companions to my uncle?"

Gu Xueqing then said, "This is my junior brother of the same clan, named Xu Yan."

When Xu Yan heard this, he immediately bowed to the man in front of him and said, "I have met Manager Gu."

Seeing that he didn't speak much, Gu Qingfeng thought that most of these "people on the mountain" regarded themselves as noble and looked down on ordinary people in the market, and did not care about it. He just smiled and nodded, said a good word, then turned to Gu Xueqing and said, "Xiaoxue, you two shouldn't have time to eat yet, right? Come in quickly, it just happened that my uncle hadn't eaten yet, so why not eat together!"

When Gu Xueqing heard this, she was about to bring Xu Yan here for dinner, so she replied softly, then turned to him and said, "My junior brother, let's go in together."

Xu Yan did not refuse and entered the teahouse with them with a smile.

Gu Qingfeng, who was walking in the front, passed by the cashier and said to the cashier's friend: "Give me instructions and ask the people in the kitchen to add a few more dishes and two pairs of chopsticks."

The cashier's checkout was naturally bowing.

After reaching the five floors in one breath, Gu Qingfeng was already out of breath. Obviously, obesity caused him a lot of trouble, which was very different from Xu Yan and the other two, but they did not say anything about this. After all, there was too much difference between cultivators and mortals in the market.

After Gu Qingfeng entered the private room, he invited the two of them to sit down. Then he saw that they were calm and did not even breathe. He couldn't help but smile bitterly, but he did not make a big deal about this matter, but instead made a pot of new tea for them. He asked Gu Xueqing: "How long will Xiaoxue be going to stay here this time? But should she prepare to go to the village to take a look?"

Gu Xueqing nodded and replied, "Well, I want to go back and take a look, but I can't live for a long time. This time I came back, just to take a look at my uncle and put in incense sticks on my parents' grave."

Gu Qingfeng nodded and said, "Okay, then you will live in my village during this period. After lunch later, my uncle is going to go back to the tea garden, so you can go back to the village with me. By the way, since Mr. Xu is here, I will also invite me to stay in my village for two days. The scenery of my tea garden is great, and it is a good place to visit."

When Xu Yan heard the other party’s invitation, he smiled and declined, "Thank you for the invitation from Manager Gu, but I still have to continue north, so I won’t talk more. Besides, before, Senior Sister Gu and I had already agreed to part ways after sending her here."

When Gu Qingfeng heard Xu Yan's refusal, he had agreed to the man surnamed Shi, so he was reluctant to let the latter go. He immediately said enthusiastically: "What is Mr. Xu saying? Even if you want to go north, it will not take a day or two. Moreover, Gu heard what you said, you were Yanxi who personally sent Xiaoxue back. As her uncle, Gu was extremely grateful. How could he let you pass by the door but not entertain you?"

Seeing that Xu Yan was about to refuse, Gu Qingfeng immediately snatched the words and said seriously to Gu Xueqing: "Xiaoxue, I have worked hard to send you back along the way. My Gu family is the most important way to treat guests, so why don't you keep them for me quickly."
