"Your master is quite kind."

Gu Xiaofei slurred his speech while holding the spicy strips in his mouth.

"A few packets of spicy strips bought you?" Xiao Xuechen looked sideways.

"Although he's a bit weird, he's a nice guy. I thought your master must be a very fierce person, but I didn't expect him to be so easy-going." Gu Xiaofei opened another pack of spicy sticks, "It would be even more so if his hobbies weren't so weird. Okay. But it's okay, things can't be perfect."

"……as long as you are happy."

"Uh, not so happy now."

Facing the waterfall path that scared him to cry when he came, Gu Xiaofei suddenly lost the courage to live.

"Is there really no other way?" He looked at the rushing water, "Go upstream or downstream, there must be a place to cross the river!"

"There are only cliffs," Xiao Xuechen said, "and deep water up to your neck. Which one do you choose?"

"I choose death."

"Don't choose the human cable car?"

Gu Xiaofei's face became hot.He knew that Xiao Xuechen didn't mean anything malicious, but being teased like this still made him a little annoyed.

"I'll go by myself!"

He strode towards the waterfall with great arrogance, thinking that this time he would be able to overcome his inner weakness.However, when the first drop of water splashed on his face, he screamed and ran back behind Xiao Xuechen.

"Do you think it's possible for me to learn how to swim in a day?"

Xiao Xuechen looked like he wanted to laugh, but in the end he just twitched the corners of his mouth. "There are a few stones under the waterfall. You can jump over them, but you will get wet. I didn't tell you before, because I can't let you go to see Master like a drowned rat."

"Say it earlier! Are you deliberately making fun of me!"

"No." Xiao Xuechen said.

Gu Xiaofei narrowed his eyes.

"A little bit." Xiao Xuechen admitted reluctantly under the pressure of his eyes.Gu Xiaofei's appearance of running around in a hurry is unexpectedly cute, he can just watch like this for a whole day without doing anything.

"Hmph! Like a teacher, like a disciple, your entire sect has this virtue." Gu Xiaofei muttered.

The two made a big circle and finally came to the bottom of the waterfall.Xiao Xuechen looked at the waterfall with nostalgia, and said, "My disciples often practice under the waterfall, but unfortunately we can't see it now."

"No wonder you all know how to swim."

"If you want to learn, I can teach you."

Gu Xiaofei's heart fluttered instantly, but the fear of drowning quickly took over. "...Let's talk about it next time."

The pool under the waterfall is dotted with small stones, which are not naturally formed. Gu Xiaofei speculates that they were deliberately put in for the disciples to practice.You can indeed cross the river by stepping on them.But as Xiao Xuechen said, passing under the waterfall will definitely get you wet from head to toe.Do Lingxu sect disciples usually practice in such a harsh environment?Gu Xiaofei felt a little sympathetic to them.

He took a deep breath, tapped his toes, made a jumping movement, jumped up in one go, stepped heavily on a stone in the middle of the pool, jumped again with his strength, and finally landed on the opposite bank safely.

He was soaked, and his wet clothes stuck to his skin, making him feel uncomfortable.He took off the T-shirt, wrung it dry with his bare hands, and then put the crumpled T-shirt back on.He didn't have the guts to take off his pants, although he couldn't see anyone except Xiao Xuechen in the middle of the mountain, but he still didn't have the guts.

Xiao Xuechen also crossed the pool and fell behind him.

Gu Xiaofei said: "You should have told me earlier, so that we can bring clothes when we come."

He turned around and almost got a nosebleed from the sight in front of him.

Xiao Xuechen pushed back his wet black hair, tore off his iconic white windbreaker, spread it on a big rock on the shore, then took off the T-shirt inside, and wrung it dry like Gu Xiaofei.His upper body was bare, and his smooth muscle lines were tensed and stretched with the movements, shaking Gu Xiaofei's little heart with a refreshing rhythm.

"Why are you staring at me?" Xiao Xuechen asked.

"You have a good figure." Gu Xiaofei endured the hot stream in his nasal cavity.

Xiao Xuechen picked up the windbreaker, put all the clothes on his arms, and raised his chin down the mountain: "Let's go."

Gu Xiaofei followed him obsessively, his mind was full of Xiao Xuechen's energetic body.He wondered if Xiao Xuechen had started wearing cologne, otherwise why would it smell so good?

On the left side of Xiao Xuechen's back was a hideous scar.There was another scar on his chest in the corresponding place.He once said that this was the injury he suffered from being plotted against during the siege of the Devil's Cult.He seems to be jealous of this, although he doesn't care, but when he mentions the origin of the scar, he always looks very sad, so Gu Xiaofei never dared to delve into the cause and effect of his injury.

It must be very painful.Gu Xiaofei thought.Even if I don't feel it now, it must have been excruciatingly painful at the time.Why didn't he meet Xiao Xuechen earlier?That way, when Xiao Xuechen was in the most pain and depression, he would be able to accompany him.

He accidentally reached out and touched the scar on Xiao Xuechen's back.

Xiao Xuechen jumped suddenly as if he had been shocked by an electric shock, turned around vigilantly, and subconsciously touched the non-existent hilt of the sword behind him.Then he remembered that he was in Lingxu Mountain—one of the safest places in the world, and the person behind him was Gu Xiaofei—one of his most trusted people in the world, so there was nothing to be nervous about.

Gu Xiaofei raised his hands above his head, making a gesture of surrender: "I didn't do it on purpose, it was just a moment of cheapness, don't be angry..."

"I was overreacting. Reflex."

"You must have been badly hurt."

"...I don't want to mention this." Xiao Xuechen said.

"Are you full just now? I always feel that I can't get enough of snacks!" Gu Xiaofei tried to liven up the atmosphere.While talking about what he wanted to eat, he moved to the front of Xiao Xuechen, and replaced him with him leading the way, so that he could not see Xiao Xuechen - he would not be distracted because of the other person's good figure, and he would not have to face Xiao Xuechen's stiff expression.

"That's not the way back." Xiao Xuechen said.

Gu Xiaofei stuck out his tongue and ran back in despair. "Lead the way."

Xiao Xuechen put on his wet and wrinkled clothes silently.On the way, Gu Xiaofei kept looking at him with sympathetic eyes, which made him feel apologetic.

Gu Xiaofei has nothing to hide about his past, no matter what he asks, Gu Xiaofei will tell the truth and tell everything about himself without reservation.So is it fair to Gu Xiaofei for him to hide his past?

He stared at the waterfall that was flying straight down, and the memory came to his mind like a spring.Even if he tried his best to forget the unbearable past, he still couldn't stop himself from being emotional.

"I should have told you." He sat down on a rock with a view of the waterfall. "I should have told you a long time ago."

"Uh, you don't have to force yourself if you don't want to say..."

"It's not a secret, Master, Uncle, and Junior Brother Gu all know about it. Most of the people who participated in the battle of the Devil's Cult at that time also knew about it. But because it's not very honorable, everyone try not to mention it as much as possible."

"Then we don't want any pot to open and carry which pot..."

"Are you really not curious at all?" Xiao Xuechen tapped his chest lightly, "You don't want to know how this injury came about?"

Gu Xiaofei shrank his neck: "Because you...were attacked?"

Xiao Xuechen pointed at the waterfall: "To practice Lingxu sect's swordsmanship, you need to practice under the waterfall. This is the case for generations of disciples. As a senior brother, I have to supervise the homework of the younger brothers and sisters. They are said to be younger brothers and sisters, but in fact, everyone is about the same age. I Because I became a senior brother long ago. Among all the juniors and juniors, there is one who is several years younger than everyone else, and is the latest to get started, so everyone calls him Junior Junior Brother."

Gu Xiaofei sat down beside him.The pebbles by the river hurt his butt, but he didn't care.Xiao Xuechen is willing to share his past with him, he is so happy that he is about to go to heaven, this means that Xiao Daxia trusts him!He was actually curious about Xiao Xuechen's past, but how could he have the guts to inquire about it?

"Junior brother is late in learning, poor in martial arts, sometimes he can't keep up with his homework, and he is too embarrassed to disturb the master, so he asks me, a senior brother, for advice. Of course I am willing to teach him. He is very strong, and he often studies his homework non-stop. I see him making progress. , I am more willing to give advice to him. Over time, among all the younger brothers and younger sisters, he became the one closest to me. Others made fun of me for being biased. I don’t have any brothers. I think if I had a younger brother, it would probably be like him Bar."

"and after?"

Xiao Xuechen gazed at the flowing water in a daze.

"During the siege of the Devil's Sect, all martial arts orthodox paths sent disciples to assist the police in their operations. Gu Xuyang and I were among them. Because the younger brother was young, Master might not allow him to go. But he still followed secretly. At that time, we had already entered the Devil's Sect The old nest, the war is about to break out, I can't drive him back, so I have to let him follow me. I dare not say how strong my martial arts are, but it is always okay to protect him well. If even the junior brother can't protect well, What face do I have to continue being a senior brother?"

Gu Xiaofei had an ominous premonition.He knew that Xiao Xuechen was the first disciple of the Lingxu Sect, and he also knew that he had a bunch of juniors (Gu Xuyang was one of them), but he never knew that there was such a junior.According to Xiao Xuechen's narration, he has such a good relationship with his junior brother, there is no reason to break contact now.Then the only possibility is that the junior brother is no longer alive.I'm afraid he died in the battle of the Demon Cult.

No wonder Xiao Xuechen was so reluctant to mention this past event.

"Did he sacrifice?" Gu Xiaofei asked cautiously.

Xiao Xuechen smiled strangely.Gu Xiaofei likes Xiao Xuechen's smile, but it's not this kind of sarcasm and eccentric smile.

"We broke into the Demon Cult's lair, but we fell for it again and again. The other party either went to the empty house, or deliberately led us into a trap, as if they knew our plan. The leader Su Yunyue judged that there were spies among us, so temporarily Change the attack plan and let everyone split up. I was in a group with my junior brother and rushed into the Yinyan Terrace, one of the five halls of the Demon Sect. Do you remember Qiu Tongyun’s younger brother, Qiu Fengse? He is one of the five hall masters. [-]. I asked my junior brother to hide aside, and faced Qiu Fengse alone, and finally cut him under the sword. We have completed the task assigned by the leader, and when I was about to help others... I was stabbed from the back by a sword .”

"Qiu Fengse is not dead?" Gu Xiaofei asked.

"My first reaction was the same as yours. I regretted that I didn't pay more, but it wasn't him who stabbed me, it was my junior brother."

Gu Xiaofei's jaw fell into the water and flowed downstream.

"Wait, why did your junior brother stab you?!"

"Because he is the spy planted among us by the Demon Cult."
