Embers

"Actually, Nie Budu has always been a smart person." Su Changjiu propped his chin up to look at the sky, and sighed.

"Know how to take advantage of the weakness of human nature." Ye Bozhou also propped his chin, looking at the sky.

"Despicable and shameless." Ember cursed concisely.

"..."

There was a man curled up on the floor behind them, his whole body was tied up, his mouth was gagged, his face was flushed from holding his breath, and he was writhing violently.

"...Alas!" Su Jiujiu sighed again, and glanced at the man on the ground from the corner of his eye, "Do you want to ask again? I think he seems to have something to say."

Ye Bozhou had no choice but to agree.

Su Jiu squatted down and pulled out the rag stuffed in the man's mouth. Before he could speak, he was hit by a deafening roar and covered his ears.

"Ye Bozhou! You bastard! Shameless! In vain I thought you were an upright gentleman, who would have thought that you would kidnap and force a confession!"

Ember's face darkened and she was about to rush forward, but Ye Bozhou raised her hand and held her down.

Ye Bozhou walked over slowly, knelt down, and said with a smile: "Shh, keep your voice down. I am not only a villain, but also handsome, and I am keen on kidnapping and extorting confessions, and I never tire of it. Do you know now?"

"..." Probably Xie Fengliu had never seen such a brazen person, so he was speechless for a moment.

Su Jiujiu reached out and raised his chin: "Stop struggling, martial arts leader, you really don't intend to say anything?"

When he mentioned the words "Wulin leader", his voice was clearly smiling.

It's a pity that Xie Fengliu is a child, and he still can't hear it: "You know that I am the leader of the martial arts, and you dare to treat me like this! Don't let me go, if you let me go now, I can forget everything that happened just now !"

This time the two adults couldn't hold back any longer, and laughed at the same time.

"Hey, I'm so scared. If you go out and publicize our behavior, won't it be untenable after the door is closed?"

Xie Fengliu immediately stiffened: "That's right!"

"But do you dare?"

Su Jiujiu frowned: "Do you dare to speak out? Do you think anyone will care about what you say? Do you think someone will take the risk of offending Xia Xianmen to listen to you, a little thief?"

"..." Xie Fengliu choked.

Su Changjiu simply moved over to a small stool and sat down: "You have to know that you can become the leader of the martial arts all because of Nie Budu. If he hadn't dragged the boat for so long, what capital do you think you have to fight against the boat?"

"I……"

"Do you think Nie Budu is a fool or the people of the world are fools? Would Nie Budu not know that this matter can be seen by others? In fact, this is what he wants!"

"he……"

"What's wrong with him? He has always known that the role of the leader of the martial arts is just a sign. On the surface, he controls the martial arts, but in fact? Doesn't each sect have its own schemes? If Bo Zhou becomes the leader of the martial arts, with the help of Xia Xianmen In terms of status, Bai Dao can still behave a little bit under the awe, if an incompetent person becomes the leader of the martial arts, such as you, then Bai Dao will be in chaos."

"you……"

"Am I wrong? The reason why you can become the leader of the martial arts so hastily is not because of the rules all along. As long as you pass this process, you will be the leader of the martial arts. It is useless for others to object. Since you passed, although Everyone is very upset with you, but you can't break the rules. Are you still stupid to think that what you have is real power?"

"..." Xie Fengliu rolled his eyes resentfully.

"Boy, why are you silent?" Su Changjiu asked abruptly.

"..."

"Forget it, let's get down to business, what good did Nie Budu do to you, so that you refused to say it even if you died? Isn't it just 3000 taels of gold?"

Xie Fengliu was stunned for a moment, lowered his head, and was lifted up by Su Changjiu's outstretched fingers domineeringly.

"What's more, isn't it just for you to be a matchmaker?"

Xie Fengliu suddenly opened his eyes wide.

Su Jiujiu sighed: "The Demon Sect Ji Qingyao is a pretty girl, but it's a pity to have such a master as Nie Budu, who has a very bad heart, I'm afraid you can't play with her at all."

"You are not allowed to touch her!"

Su Jiujiu couldn't help laughing out: "I really want to, but I'm under the cover of Nie Budu, I can do it? I'm afraid, we invited you to talk tonight and Nie Budu knows it all."

Xie Fengliu suddenly felt safe.

"Are you relieved? Then you are wrong."

Ye Bozhou handed over a cup of tea at the right time, Su Changjiu drank it in one gulp, and continued his performance.

"Think about it, we found out about the 3000 taels and Ji Qingyao by ourselves, right? You didn't tell us all, did you? But if this matter got to Nie Budu, what do you think he would think? He still Will you trust me completely?"

Xie Fengliu thought for a moment and fell into panic.

"Don't be afraid, it's better to just be ours. With the background of Xiaxianmen, Taoist Bai will definitely not dare to rebel against you, and Nie Budu will definitely not be able to touch you easily."

"If we talk about money, we also have it. Is 5000 taels of gold enough?"

"For beauties... what do you think of this little brother?" Su Changjiu smiled and pulled the gloomy ember, "Isn't he good-looking? Tall?"

Pushing Ember away again: "If this is not enough, I still have an apprentice who is pure and innocent..."

This time it was Xie Fengliu who interrupted him: "I like women!"

Su Changjiu hurriedly smiled: "Okay, okay, there are many beauties in Tianshi Palace, shall we introduce you?"

……

……

Su Changjiu looked up at the sky and sighed: "It is said that when negotiating, you should first ask a bit too much, and then make real demands, so that it is easier for the other party to accept. How could I have forgotten this point."

Ye Bozhou also looked regretful: "It's a pity, such a good child."

"..." The better child, Ember, pursed her lips and remained silent.

It was already late at night when Su Changjiu left, and Ye Bozhou realized that he was exhausted as soon as he touched the bed.

Ember carefully took off his clothes and lay beside him, trying not to touch his wound.

Ye Bozhou felt the little apprentice's body temperature but couldn't get close to it, his heart was itchy, so he had to force himself to focus on the person's face.

An immature face, exquisite and compelling features, dark eyes, all of him inside.

Ye Bozhou couldn't help but wanted to reach out and touch his face, but in the end he held back, stretched out half of his hand in a different direction and turned off the light.

"Don't have another time."

Ember spoke suddenly, her voice muffled and tight.

But Ye Bozhou instantly understood what he meant, and his heart softened: "Okay, Master won't be hurt in the future."

Ember stopped talking, and after a while, she couldn't help but ask, "Why are you staring at me all the time?"

Ye Bozhou looked into his eyes tenderly: "Do you now know how Master felt when he saw you hurt? Just like how you feel today."

No, it was several times more serious than that, the blood all over his body was congealed together, and his breathing was almost stagnant, he didn't say anything.

Ember nodded silently.

Now he only feels that his heart is full of a strange emotion, which is so painful that it is about to overflow, as if he can vent it out by saying something or doing something, but he neither understands what that emotion is nor understands how it should be. How to do it.

I just feel that just looking at Ye Bozhou warms up the whole person, making people want to smile uncontrollably.

In the end, he still lay obediently where he was, without daring to move, and just curled up and slept all night.

In the dream, there seemed to be a gentle touch on the forehead, so light, it was like a wind blowing.

After the martial arts conference, the rivers and lakes fell into peace again.

The lower string door also calmed down.

Ember continued to practice swords in the yard with Ye Bozhou every day.

Ember is still very diligent, starting at dawn and ending after dark.

Ye Bozhou is still very leisurely, practicing sword, making tea, writing and writing, and now he is obsessed with growing flowers.

As soon as Ember looked up, he could see him tending flowers and plants not far away.

Su Changjiu often joked that he lived his old age ahead of schedule.

Ye Bozhou just smiled and said nothing.

I can still meet Li Mei every day, and now Yu Jin's temper is much better than when he first came to Xiaxianmen, and sometimes he will talk to him, and he still has patience.

Li Mei blushed as soon as she spoke to him.

Zheng Yijun still came here often, made gestures with Ember, was defeated, and chatted with Ember with great interest.

His main topic now is Tan Suyu.

"After she found us that day, she remembered me, hehe, and then I often went to hang around the gate of their Heavenly Killing Palace. The little girl at the gate of their Heavenly Killing Palace knew me, and every time I gave a few pieces of candy Give me a little stool to sit on, and we can talk about Suyu in the shade, hehe."

Ember corrected: "You should call her sister."

Zheng Yijun rolled his eyes fiercely: "Sister, sister, do you have any brains? She is already so much older than me. If I call her sister again, won't she think that we are impossible?"

Ember was puzzled: "Then you can do it now?"

"Sooner or later!"

Zheng Yijun clenched his fists with a persistent and firm expression.

Seeing him like this, Ember thought of Ye Bozhou for some reason.

Ye Bozhou——

His hands are like magic, always giving him just the right amount of comfort.

Thinking about it, he blurted out: "Will you get hard down there?"

Zheng Yijun was shocked by this question.

"Aren't you talking nonsense, are you still a man if you can't be hard!"

"..."

After reacting, Ember was stunned: "Then how do you solve it every time?"

Zheng Yijun was puzzled: "Use your hands."

"Whose hand?"

"Nonsense, my own hands!"

"..."

Zheng Yijun seemed to understand something suddenly, and his smile narrowed: "Hey, boy, do you have a feeling and don't know what to do?"

"..."

"That's simple, do you need me to teach you?"

"..."

Ember didn't say anything, and stood up directly.

Zheng Yijun was a little puzzled: "...why is your face so red?"

……

The pear blossoms in the yard bloomed and fell, fell and bloomed again, and in the blink of an eye, another three years passed.
