think too much

The reputation of Ningbi Palace in the entire Central Plains martial arts is quite demonized.Xu Zheng can be regarded as an upright person, but his behavior is a bit free.When he roamed the mountains and rivers in his early years, he gathered a group of weird people around him.After the Ningbi Palace was formed, it did not listen to the orders of the Wulin League, nor did it make friends with many martial arts sects in the Central Plains.The huge Ningbi palace is shrunk on the edge of the martial arts forest in the Central Plains, almost wandering between the righteous way and the evil way.It is natural to be unrestrained and unrestrained, and it is also natural to be unpopular.

It's only natural that Lu Xingchuan didn't want to involve Ningbi Palace in all the things Lu Xingchuan has done so far.It is Xu Ze who walks outside and announces his father's name. He will receive some respect and fear, but he will not be treated as if he was born in a famous family.

Perhaps in the near future, the bloody hole in Shen Tianwang's throat will become Lu Xingchuan's extremely dazzling achievement, making this young man famous.but not now.

Lu Xingchuan and the two were not in a hurry to return to Ningbi Palace.Xu Ze was naturally happy to be alone with Lu Xingchuan, the longer the better, as for Lu Xingchuan, for the past ten years, he had only one thing in mind.Now that this matter is completed, the surrounding people and things seem to become clear in an instant, but they also become strange in an instant.

He thought he had never had such a leisurely mind before, seeing clearly the water-soaked pine branches under the clear sky, like a natural sword blade, but a little soft.

"Xingchuan?" Xu Zetti swayed his elbow in front of Lu Xingchuan, "Do you want to eat, Xingchuan?"

Lu Xingchuan blinked, only feeling that his vision was clear but wandering.To be honest, he has never been able to remember exactly what Xu Ze looked like - he has never been able to remember what most people around him looked like.

In Ningbi Palace, there are many strange people under Xu Zheng, and even more people with strange appearance.Lu Xingchuan could identify the people around him one by one by the color of the paint on his face, his green face and fangs, and the horns on his head.As for Xu Ze, he was naturally one of the few people with clear features on his face.But now that he is not in Ningbi Palace, sometimes Xu Ze stands in front of him and talks to him, Lu Xingchuan still has to take the trouble to identify it, it is this person.

"Eat." Lu Xingchuan directly took a bite of the sauced elbow from Xu Ze's hand.He couldn't talk anymore with food stuffed in his mouth, so he listened to Xu Ze jumping up and down in front of him, happily mentioning all kinds of trifles.In the end, I saw the man approaching Lu Xingchuan aggressively with his elbow raised.Elbow, Xu Ze, and Lu Xingchuan formed strange gazes at each other.

"Brother Xingchuan," Xu Ze sighed, "there are many bad people in the world. You must not just eat what others give you."

"That's what I'll give you to be safe," he added.

Swallowing the meat in his mouth, Lu Xingchuan couldn't help laughing.He pushed Xu Ze's wrist, pushing away both the elbow's gaze and Xu Ze's gaze. "How do I know that you are not a bad person?"

"Of course I'm not a bad person!" Xu Ze seemed to take this seriously, and hurriedly began to point out, "Really. I'm a good person."

Lu Xingchuan couldn't stop laughing, Xu Ze seemed to have just realized it, put down his elbow and wanted to throw himself on the person, both cowardly and angry.He neither dared to hug Lu Xingchuan's waist, nor dared to hold Lu Xingchuan's face, so he tugged at the hem of Lu Xingchuan's clothes with his greasy hands, shaking it in a very shameless manner.

"I...I'm not a bad person. I'm a bad person, and I can't beat you." He seemed to think of an excellent excuse for this, "Yes, if I were a bad person, you can beat me until I am obedient—— If you don't hit me, I'll be very obedient."

This is a bit too much.Lu Xingchuan didn't expect that two jokes could force Xu Ze to say such a thing.He wasn't happy or moved, he just felt a little annoyed.He raised his hand, tapped Xu Ze's forehead, and said wearily, "Okay, let go."

"Xingchuan, are you... angry?"

"Be obedient and let go."

There was a cloud of oil stains on the hem of the clothes, Xu Ze volunteered to wash them for him, and folded them neatly and returned them to him.It feels really subtle.Now that the serious business is finally done, Lu Xingchuan has the feeling of leisurely chewing.

No matter what his mood was, it was real for others to help him protect him and treat him well.Lu Xingchuan still believed that Xu Ze treated him intentionally because of some naive dissatisfaction.But the motivation does not detract from the action itself.He also knew that he had no intentions of Xu Ze.The picture scroll of the world as it was seen for the first time slowly unfolded in front of his eyes.There are still too many things he doesn't understand, he can roam and explore.

But Xu Ze was not among them.Xu Ze is too hot to be interesting enough.

But in the end, Master, Xu Ze, and Ningbi Palace, he should repay them.

Lu Xingchuan met Chen Cheng again when he passed the Kongtong faction.He, together with the former disciples of the Martial Arts League, many of them have scattered and worshiped in various sects.The Lu family's swordsmanship has extremely high requirements for talent and understanding, and Shen Tianwang only taught Li Muran back then.Even though Shen Tianwang is dead, most of his disciples are among the most talented in martial arts.Anyone who just wants a place to go, there is always a place to go.

Now speaking, it can be regarded as an old friend.Chen Cheng looked at Lu Xingchuan with an evasive expression, neither resentful nor sad.Indeed, resentment and sadness were not obvious in his heart.

He felt ashamed.

"Brother Xingchuan..." Seeing Lu Xingchuan stopped, he could no longer pretend not to see, so he had to bite the bullet and stepped forward, "Long time no see."

Too many things have happened in a short period of time, seeing Lu Xingchuan again now really feels like a world away.

"Indeed, long time no see." Since this place belongs to the Kongtong faction, there is no need to ask about many things.Lu Xingchuan thought for a while, "Except for you, what about the others?"

"There are a few senior brothers who have been ordained and become monks. They went to Shaolin, some went to Hengshan, and... I am in the Kongtong Sect now, and there are also several senior brothers and sisters, and... there are also senior sisters..."

"Senior Sister Zhuang?" Lu Xingchuan frowned slightly, "She also worshiped Kongtong now?"

"No. Senior Sister, she was too injured that day, and she couldn't help but collapsed. The head of the Kongtong sect has always wanted to accept her as a disciple, and now she is staying in the Kongtong sect to recover from her injuries. Now she... sees me, sees several senior brothers and sisters Then get angry."

The meaning of Zhuang Qiuyue, it is impossible for the head of Kongtong not to understand.She is indeed very talented, but after all, she is not young, no matter how good her roots are, it doesn't make sense to accept her as a disciple now.The significance of Zhuang Qiuyue is that, except for Li Muran, Zhuang Qiuyue is the one with the highest martial arts skills and the most prestigious among all the disciples of the Wulin League.After all, Li Muran possessed the Lu family's swordsmanship, and the decent sect relied on his status, so he would never accept him as a disciple.

But Zhuang Qiuyue is different.Now that the disciples of the Martial Arts League have changed their sects sporadically, there are still some people who want to take revenge on the eight sects for Shen Tianwang, like Lu Xingchuan.And as long as Zhuang Qiuyue also let go of her identity and responsibility as "Shen Tianwang's disciple", everyone else will be irrelevant.

The Wulin League was truly defeated and disbanded.

What about the disciples of the Martial Arts League and what about Zhuang Qiuyue should have nothing to do with Lu Xingchuan...

"Maybe, let me see her... That's all." Lu Xingchuan lowered his voice, "If you want, tell her for me that the Kongtong sword technique is incomparably exquisite, and Emei, Wudang, and Huashan have superb martial arts everywhere. But if she I don't want Shen Tianwang to die in vain, anyone can learn these things, but she can't."

"Brother Xingchuan?" Chen Cheng opened his eyes wide, as if he couldn't understand what he was saying. "I will tell my senior sister, but you..."

Regardless of Chen Cheng's reaction, Lu Xingchuan continued, "Shen Tian can't forget, as long as she is willing, the remaining disciples of the Martial Arts League can be his people. As long as they find out that there is something wrong or inappropriate in the behavior of the eight sects, now Whether it's a change of family, or being accused of forgetting a teacher, in the future it will look like it's all about bearing the burden of humiliation."

"As for me, I will live until she comes to take my life."

Before leaving, Chen Cheng asked Lu Xingchuan, "What Master did...was wrong. Why do you seem to be expecting Senior Sister to come back with revenge?"

"Shen Tian forgot about me, of course he committed a heinous crime, but how can he be sorry to Senior Sister Zhuang and you? Are you really going to use his 'heinous crime' as an excuse to change your family now?"

"You look down on me." Chen Cheng's face was panicked, and the shame that had been half hidden since the meeting finally showed clearly.

"You and I don't have a deep relationship, and we don't even understand each other, so why look down on us?" Lu Xingchuan said, but he couldn't help but evoked a very shallow and cold smile, "I said it was just what I thought in my heart."

Lu Xingchuan wasn't sure if Zhuang Qiuyue's current anger was real, or if it was necessary to take Joe before putting down her figure.To be honest, he might as well not care.

He didn't lie to Chen Cheng, he just said what he thought in his heart.

"Xingchuan, what are you thinking about?" Xu Ze had been blocked by Lu Xingchuan before, but now he was anxious and puzzled, "You teach others how to gather strength to revenge you?"

"Okay, let's put it this way." Lu Xingchuan laughed, "But you sound stupid when you say that."

"You can do such a thing..." Xu Ze swallowed his saliva - although Lu Xingchuan laughed at himself like this, he didn't dare to say it. "Why on earth? Shen Tianwang did... that kind of thing, what face does his disciple have to avenge him?" Although Xu Ze was not born in a decent family, but he was educated since he was a child. There should always be justice.

"You're boring like this." Lu Xingchuan's eyes suddenly drifted away, looking at Xu Ze, and seeing something else through Xu Ze. "Everything in the world is true or false, good or evil, how can it be more interesting than winning or losing?"

"Wh...what's the point? Is your own life compared to whether it's funny or not?" Xu Ze's lips were trembling, wishing to wake up the person in front of him who looked ridiculous.

"I'm not a normal person. You can stay away from me if you don't like it."

"I don't!" Xu Ze's eyes turned red suddenly, and he couldn't remember whether he was afraid or not, so he pressed Lu Xingchuan's head and hugged him, "Why don't you understand, don't understand... It's not that I can't get used to it... ..."

He can accept - he is willing to accept all of Lu Xingchuan's ideas and practices.

But he is distressed.

"Disciple Lu Xingchuan, plead guilty to Master."

After returning to Ningbi Palace, Xu Ze sneaked away not long after seeing his father, and comfortably returned to his room——Lu Xingchuan's room, where he nestled.But Lu Xingchuan stayed by Xu Zheng's side, and explained his experience after leaving Ningbi Palace. After Xu Zheng passed the martial arts exam, he faced Xu Zheng and was about to kneel down straight.

Xu Zheng was startled and stunned, naturally he wouldn't ask the precious apprentice to kneel, so he quickly stretched out his hand to hold him back. "Get up! What's the matter?"

"Master has treated me with such kindness as a mountain. I am sorry, Master." Without waiting for Xu Zheng to respond, Lu Xingchuan continued, "I seduced Xu Ze and made him think things he shouldn't have." His words were enough to despise himself , but he seemed to think that it was not enough, and continued to take care of himself, "I covet the power of Ningbi Palace, and I know that Xu Ze will inherit Ningbi Palace one day. For revenge, I have exhausted all means. Then one day we will need to use him, to use Ningbi Palace."

"Now that the great revenge has been avenged, he is useless." Lu Xingchuan broke away from Xu Zheng's hand that was still supporting him, and took a step back, his voice was steady and cool, just like himself. "I'm here to apologize to Master, please expel me from Ningbi Palace, and also ask Master to tell Xu Ze not to come to me again."

"If Master wants to punish, no matter what kind of punishment, Lu Xingchuan is willing to accept it."

Lu Xingchuan kept looking directly at Xu Zheng, but he saw that Xu Zheng was stunned first, and then laughed, but he didn't seem to be angry at all.

"Xiao Chuan..." He stopped laughing, and suddenly pressed Lu Xingchuan's shoulder in distress and pity, "That brat, Ze, is it annoying you?"

"... What is Master talking about? I said..."

"He pesters you so much that you would rather defile yourself like this than get rid of him, get rid of Ningbi Palace."

"Xiao Chuan, Ze is my son, I know him well. You have been with me for ten years, don't I understand you as a person? Your lies are too indecent."

As early as three years ago, Xu Ze confessed to Xu Zheng his love for Lu Xingchuan.Xu Zheng naturally beat his son severely, but he didn't pay much attention to it from then on.

He has always acted with no scruples.Although Xu Ze is his beloved son, he has already reached the age when he should be responsible for his actions.He originally thought that whether Lu Xingchuan intended it or not, this was something that Xu Ze should work hard on himself.

But he didn't expect that Lu Xingchuan would come to him today and say such a thing.

"Xiao Chuan, you treat my silly son the same way you treat him. You know I don't bother to say nonsense. I said you don't have to worry about me, but you really don't have to worry about me." Xu Zheng sighed helplessly. Tone, "You, you are too thoughtful. Are you thinking that Aze is my son, and he likes you, so you are sorry for me?"

"Master..." Lu Xingchuan lowered his head, not knowing what to say.

"You're the only one who thinks about this twist and turn." Xu Zheng really wanted to laugh at himself as a stupid apprentice, but he also felt sorry for him at a young age, thinking about everything three times more than others, making mistakes and bad things, all of himself Back up.

"Xiao Chuan, I just ask you, if you don't worry about me, what are your plans for the future?"

"I have no plans. Although there are many people and things in the world, they just hold me back, stop me, and stop me. What happened ten years ago is the reason I live for these ten years. Now the matter is over."

"I don't intend to," he repeated.

There are still many interesting people in the world, and many of them are new, things that he has never seen before, and things that have not been completed.Whether you can see it all is one thing, but whether you want it or not is another.Lu Xingchuan was not sure.

"Xiao Chuan..." Xu Zheng was frightened by these words. "Xiao Chuan, I just said that you have nothing to do to me, but if you dare, if you dare..."

"I didn't want to seek death, Master." Lu Xingchuan smiled wryly, "Of course I don't want to die, but what to do while alive, I haven't thought about it before, and now, I'm not sure."

"That being the case," Xu Zheng gritted his teeth, knowing that what he did was not proper, but he really couldn't think of a more proper way. "This matter is up to me for the time being."

"That silly boy Aze, I'll leave it to you."

He selfishly hoped that Xu Ze might be able to get his wish, but also hoped that Xu Ze really liked Lu Xingchuan as he said, so that maybe he could make this young man in this empty space have the human world that he should have at his age. color.
