Embers

Now the top of Ember's head can already touch Ye Bozhou's nose. He is tall, long-legged, and fair-skinned. He wears a light blue shirt and dances a sword among the pear blossoms in the courtyard. .

Ye Bozhou stood leaning against a pear tree on the side, and the fine pear blossoms fell all over his shoulders.

Ember glanced at him, a faint smile flashed in his eyes, he pushed hard, deflected his sword, and went straight to Ye Bozhou.

Ye Bozhou didn't even frown, just broke a pear branch and started a fight with him.

Although Ember's swordsmanship is far inferior to Ye Bozhou's, but he is very smart and knows how to use skills. He often makes surprises, which makes Ye Bozhou dare not take it lightly.

Ye Bozhou often sighs that it is very difficult to deal with an enemy like Ember, who knows how to take advantage of loopholes despite not having much ability, making it impossible to guard against.

Facing his statement, Ember was always noncommittal.And Ye Bozhou understood what he was thinking.

There will be skills, it's just a matter of time.

At this time, Ember was changing various moves, trying to dig out his master's weakness, so as to achieve the goal of defeating the enemy with one move.

Ye Bozhou took it seriously at first, but then he saw that the sun was in the middle of the sky, so he casually threw away the pear branch.

One flew up behind Ember, wrapped his arms around his waist, and led him down to a tree branch. With the other hand on his sword hilt, he said with a loud smile, "You're so bold, even Master Dare to provoke him?"

Ember immediately withdrew the sword, and the corners of her mouth curled up calmly: "Is there any progress?"

Ye Bozhou pinched his face: "Of course! But, it's time to eat. Practice after eating, huh?"

Ember nodded.

In the afternoon, Zheng Yijun came again.

It is still very rude, looking for embers as soon as they enter the house.Ye Bozhou found that the status of himself as Uncle Ye in his heart was getting worse day by day.

Ember pushed open the door from the backyard expressionlessly and came in, holding a pot of wet wild fruits in her hand.

Seeing Zheng Yijun, his footsteps paused.

Zheng Yijun's hand was never faster than Ember, and the moment he stretched out his hand, Ember had already rushed up the beam with the basin in his arms.

"..."

The corner of Zheng Yijun's mouth twitched: "As for being so picky! I don't come here every day, my lord. What's wrong with eating some fruit from you? It's like killing you. My lord treats you to drinks every day?"

Ember still looked indifferent: "Wine is wine, and fruit is fruit."

Sure enough, master and apprentice are master and apprentice, and the more they treat each other, the more they resemble each other.

Zheng Yijun waved his hand helplessly: "Okay, okay, you don't need this wild fruit. I came to ask you to go out to play, let's go?"

Ember looked at Ye Bozhou inquiringly.

Ye Bozhou smiled: "Go, come back early."

Ember nodded, and was dragged by Zheng Yijun to quickly leave the room.

Ye Bozhou looked at Zheng Yijun's hand holding Ember's sleeve, sighed softly, shook his head, and smiled again.

Fei was on the beam of the house, and on the top was a pot of wild fruits, which were bright red and stained with water droplets, looking very attractive.

Wasn't it intended for him?

I squeezed one and put it in my mouth. It was so sweet that he couldn't help but smile.

……

Ember looked at the gate of the Heaven Slaughter Palace, not even bothering to show any expression.

Zheng Yijun still looked nervous, just like three years ago.

"This is my 180th ninth love poem, how about you help me see it!"

Ember took it over, glanced at it, and immediately returned the paper to him.

"It's so sad not to see you behind closed doors. If you don't come out, I won't leave. Although there are many beauties here, they are too ugly compared to you."

"..."

What is "If you don't come out, I won't go"?Hooligans?

What is "too ugly compared to you"?Isn't this looking for a fight?

Ember asked calmly, "Where's Mr. Putin?"

Mr. Puting is the teacher invited by Mr. Zheng to Zheng Yijun, who specially teaches him to read and write, and explains poems and articles to him.

Zheng Yijun waved his hand impatiently: "The old man is so annoying, every day is so annoying, and my head is getting big. So when he came, I said I was sick, and he didn't come over time."

Ember turned around silently, wanting to leave.

But Zheng Yijun grabbed him: "Don't go, although I can't do well in poetry, but my heart is true!"

"..."

After that, he knocked on the door anxiously a few times.

The door opened, and a veiled young girl appeared at the door.When he saw Zheng Yijun, he couldn't help but burst out laughing.

"You boy, why did you come so late today? Just now my Palace Mistress said, could it be that you were so angry with her that you would never come again."

Zheng Yijun's eyes lit up immediately: "She really said that?"

The girl covered her mouth and lowered her voice: "Yes, she also told us not to talk nonsense, every time she received your letter, she would laugh!"

The corners of Zheng Yijun's eyes and brows were stained with joy, and that kind of joy could be felt even by Ember standing next to him.

"Qingyao, what are you talking about?"

A cold female voice came from the opposite side, and the girl named Qingyao shuddered in fright: "Palace, Palace Master."

The woman came out, white gauze skirt, red silk hair, isn't it Tan Suyu?

Seeing her, Zheng Yijun almost lost his soul.

Tan Suyu gave Ji Qingyao a cold look: "The palace rules are punished fifty times."

Ji Qingyao curled her lips, but seeing the embarrassment in the eyes of her palace lord, she immediately understood, and answered in a long voice: "Yes - the palace lord."

After she left, Tan Suyu looked at Zheng Yijun.

"Why are you here again?"

Zheng Yijun grinned: "I don't see you for a day, it's like three autumns. I miss you."

Tan Suyu snorted coldly.

Zheng Yijun quickly handed over the letter: "I wrote this to you, please read it."

Tan Suyu said disdainfully: "I'm not good at writing, but I like to show off?"

But still put it away carefully.

Zheng Yijun looked at her fixedly.

In the past three years, he has also grown a lot taller, and now he is half a head taller than Tan Suyu. When looking at her, he lowered his head slightly.

Tan Suyu stared at him with her eyes open blankly, a gust of wind blew over just right, blowing away her veil, revealing her pretty blushing face.

"Young boy..." she muttered to herself.

Zheng Yijun's eyes were as serious as ever: "I'm not young anymore, I understand everything I need to understand."

Tan Suyu opened her mouth, wanting to say something, but her face became more and more red.

"..."

Ember sighed secretly, feeling extremely embarrassed, and was about to run away.

Unexpectedly, this action of his caught Tan Suyu's attention, she suddenly reacted, pushed Zheng Yijun away, stepped into the Heaven Killing Palace, and closed the gate with a bang.

"..."

Zheng Yijun turned his head abruptly, Ember saw burning hatred in his eyes.

……

……

Ye Bozhou's sleeping face is calm and stable, and it looks tight.Ember watched him silently.

He didn't light the lamp, the bright moonlight spilled into the room through the window, and fell gently on Ye Bozhou's face.

Most likely he was stimulated by Zheng Yijun, he actually had a weird dream just now.

In the dream, I and the master looked at each other deeply, and the pear blossoms were flying.

Then, the master leaned over slightly and placed a soft kiss on his lips.

The touch was so real that his heart throbbed involuntarily.

In the dream, everything was natural, and no one thought there was anything wrong with it.

Outside the dream, he was full of doubts and at a loss.

How could you have such a dream?And... the self in the dream was actually very happy.

Fortunately, Ye Bozhou was still asleep at this time, and he didn't know what was going on in his mind, otherwise he simply didn't know what to do.

but--

He stared blankly at Ye Bozhou's thin lips.

What does it taste like?Is it the same as in the dream?

Somehow, he actually had a desire to kiss her.

"..."

When he came back to his senses, his head was already lowered, as if he wanted to take a closer look at Ye Bozhou.

His eyelids twitched instantly, and he wished he could raise his hand and slap himself.What are you thinking, that is Master!

Guilty and resentful, he pinched his arm, dragged the quilt to lie down, and deliberately moved to the side of the bed.

In his wild thoughts, he fell asleep again.

Ye Bozhou opened his eyes in the dark, his eyes were clear, without a trace of sleepiness.

Can't help but smile wryly, stretch out his hands to cover his chest, and sigh silently.

I have endured it for so many years, is it still a while away?

Zheng Yijun once asked Ember a question.

"If one day, you possessed supreme martial arts and endless wealth, what would you do?"

Ember thought for a long time, then asked him what he would do.

Zheng Yijun laughed loudly, saying that he just wanted to be with Tan Suyu, fight against all the invincible players in the world, and join hands to sit on the number one position in the world.

Ember fell silent.

If he can get what he wants, he would rather stay away from the rivers and lakes and live in the mountains and forests regardless of money or status.

But in front of him lay an abyss.

On the opposite side of the abyss, Ye Bozhou is gentle in white clothes, with picturesque eyes.

In the abyss, the darkness is bottomless, the fog is filled, and there is no return.

Ember stared coldly at the dark gray pigeon on the branch, holding a small piece of paper in his hand.

In a trance, he seemed to see the spreading fire and heard the hoarse cry.

He tore the note into pieces, drew out his sword, and stared straight at the unpredictable eyes reflected on the blade.

……

At the same time, Ye Bozhou and Su Changjiu were wandering in the street.

A little beggar who was huddled in the corner saw the extraordinary bearing of these two people, and hurriedly got up: "My lord, give me some money, and let's enjoy the food!"

His face was covered with ashes, black and white, and his clothes were in tatters.

Ye Bozhou couldn't help but stop.

The little beggar looked at him pleadingly.

He smiled, shook his head lightly, raised his hand and threw a silver ingot over.

The little beggar happily put away the silver ingot and kowtowed.

Seeing this, the beggars around all gathered around, holding broken bowls one by one, wailing that they couldn't afford to eat.

Ye Bozhou also generously gave money one by one.

Su Changjiu looked stunned and hurt.

"I said, Bo Zhou, when did you become so kind?"

"Haven't I always been kind?"

"No, no, you used to be kind when you were kind, but you haven't reached this point, you're being taken advantage of!"

Ye Bozhou Shi turned around and walked away.The moment he turned around, he said something in a low voice, and the last word was light and long, like a sigh.

"It used to be kindness, but now it is redemption."
