[Gu Jian Qi Tan] Burning Heart Words

Fluttering the proudly blooming flowers on the branches, the crystal dewdrops on the petals seem to be smudged with a light golden layer under the sunlight.

The footsteps of a group of people quickly broke the tranquility in the valley. Tu Su and others walked into this flowery valley with their bags on their backs. Lan Sheng and Xiang Ling sighed for the beauty of the scenery here from time to time.

Although Ling Duan and the others left temporarily, they would not give up willingly, so they came to this valley to take refuge temporarily after Tu Su finished his treatment.

"By the way," Lan Sheng jumped up to Tu Su after looking at the whole valley, and directly threw out a long series of words, "Aren't Mu Ling and that Nanhua still in Huamanlou yesterday? Why didn't you come with us today? Ah, also, why didn’t Shaogong come with him? And that brother Qianshang, and…”

"Don't have any more," Qingxue knew that Tu Su's injury hadn't fully healed, and she interrupted Lan Sheng for fear that Lan Sheng would upset him, "Mu Ling, I want to find something with Nanhua, so let's go with us first. We separated, and as for Shao Gong, he should go to see Big Brother Qianshang."

She didn't wait for Mu Ling's answer yesterday, and when she left Huamanlou to look for her today, she found out that she and Nanhua had gone out early in the morning.

But... She always has some luck in her heart.Mu Ling didn't say that she likes Susu, so she...can still guard Susu's side.

"But I always think that Nanhua is weird." Lan Sheng couldn't see that there was something wrong with Tu Su and Qingxue, and Gu Zi said, "He said he was Mu Ling's brother, but they don't have the same surname. , no..." After guessing for a while, he was stunned for a while, glanced at Tu Su and deliberately emphasized his tone, "Could it be brother Qing?"

Xiang Ling happened to come over to pick the fruit, and after hearing what he said, she stomped on him mercilessly, "It's none of your business if you love your brother or sister!"

Lan Sheng raised his foot and rubbed it aggrievedly, "I just said it casually, but ah," he immediately revived with full blood, and said excitedly, "Mu Ling came back this time, and I feel that she is much better. It's really satisfying to knock down that Lingduan senior brother in one fell swoop! Another day, I must ask her to teach me a trick!"

"I'm sure you won't have any adventures," Xiangling didn't care, "As for you, you'd better practice kung fu, and don't hold back Brother Tu Su, right, Brother Tu Su?" She seemed to change her face , still staring at Lan Sheng over there, and looking at Tu Su with a smile on this side.

"Huh?" Tu Su has been absent-minded since he woke up this morning. When he was thinking about what happened last night, he heard Xiang Ling call his name. Seeing that everyone was looking at him, he could only find an excuse and said, "...I'll go and see if there's anything to eat in the valley first."

After speaking, he just walked away.

"Hmm..." Lan Sheng stroked his chin, looking thoughtfully at Tu Su's leaving back, "Something must have happened to Tu Su! Oh, oh, oh—"

As soon as he finished speaking, Xiang Ling grabbed his ear, and immediately howled in pain.

"Don't meddle in Brother Tu Su's affairs!"

"Xiangling, it's alright if I was wrong, let go, let go, let go—"

"Hmph, you're the one who talks the most!"

…………

At this moment, Qingxue couldn't listen to the fight between the two of them at all, looking at Tu Su's leaving back, her eyes gradually filled with disappointment...

Surrounded by greenery on both sides, the stretching path winds upwards, leading to the top of the mountain hidden in the clouds.

Farmers with baskets on their backs shuttled through the forest from time to time, clinging to wood with machetes to help their families.

At this moment, two rays of light passed over the forest and landed on the top of the mountain.

Nanhua stood on the edge of the cliff on the top of the mountain, overlooking the unobstructed Jiangdu below. With his right hand, he used his spiritual power to wrap the entire Jiangdu in it. It took so much spiritual power, but his expression didn't change at all, as if he didn't spend much energy.

"Brother Nanhua, can we find the scales of the candle dragon in this way?" Mu Ling stood beside him, secretly amazed in her heart. Although she also knew that Brother Nanhua was very powerful, but casting such a spell that consumed so much spiritual power today was very difficult for him. But it had no effect at all.

"If someone uses the scale of the candle dragon, I will definitely feel it," he turned sideways, showing a faint smile, "when we find the scale of the candle dragon, we will return to the abyss."

"Ah, so fast..." She subconsciously said something, seeing that the smile in Nanhua's eyes gradually faded, she realized that she had actually resisted going back to Yuangu, her voice immediately became much softer, and she said embarrassingly, " Brother Nanhua, it's not that I don't want to go back to Abyss Valley...it's just..."

"I understand," he cast his gaze into the distance, suppressing all his emotions, and his voice was as ethereal as the wind blowing on the top of the mountain, "The scenery in the world really makes people linger, it's not as boring as being in the deep valley all day long, it's just that Abyss Valley is full of aura, which is most suitable for dragons to recuperate, although you don't need to seal it now, but the power in your body is still unstable, and you need to return to Abyss Valley as soon as possible to stabilize it with secret methods."

He looked back at her indifferently, quietly waiting for her answer.

Although Nan Hua didn't make a sound anymore, her expressionless gaze always made her feel depressed, so she had no choice but to bite the bullet and nod in the end.

After the figures of Nan Hua and Mu Ling disappeared on the top of the mountain, Shao Gong walked out from behind a tree not far away.

He took out the scale of the candle dragon from his waist, and glanced at it thoughtfully, "The scale of the candle dragon..." There was a weird smile on the corner of his mouth, "let me see, how important is it to you?" Tell me, how important is it..."

…………

When Mu Ling returned to the valley, it was already late, and Lan Sheng and the others had already slept on the trunk of the tree, and the sky was dim. In the quiet valley, only a few bonfires were still jumping.

At this moment, Nanhua noticed that the breath of the Candle Dragon's Scale was getting farther and farther away from him. Although he was still in Jiangdu, he was afraid that something might change, so he set out to find its whereabouts first, and only one of them returned to the valley.

Mu Ling sat by the bonfire sullenly, thinking about going back to Abyss Valley, only feeling upset, holding his chin and sighing, fiddled with the burning bonfire with branches.

"Here you are." Tu Su walked up to her side at some point, took the fruit Xiang Ling gave him in his hand, and handed it to her.

Mu Ling stared at the fruit that Tu Su handed over for a long time, and took it with some hesitation.

There was a slight wave in his eyes, he thought that his overstepping act that night would make her hide from him, but now it seems that he probably thought too much.

"You and Nanhua, have you found what you were looking for?" He sat down beside her, took the branches and stirred up the bonfire even more, the warm yellow light flowed on his face, mixed with a trace of tenderness.

"Brother Nanhua is still looking for it..." Her eyes lingered on his side face, both probing and confused.

However, looking at it this way, the boring gourd looks pretty good...

After expressing such thoughts, she hurriedly shook her head, holding her face in her hands, she felt hot for a while, and felt a little embarrassed.

She actually coveted the beauty of the gourd, if he found out, he might laugh at himself in his heart!

but……

She thought about it, last time Qingxue said that Mian Hulu liked her, but seeing how expressionless he was all day, would he really like her?

Of course, Tu Su didn't know that Kung Fu had already had countless thoughts in Mu Ling's mind for a while, but seeing her sometimes showing a dazed look, sometimes suppressing a smile, and sometimes looking at him with strange eyes, he felt puzzled and said ,"What’s wrong with you?"

"I'm fine," she looked up at the scenery pretending to be innocent, and seeing that Tu Su was still, she took a deep breath and asked tentatively, "Men Hulu, I...I want to ask you something thing."

"What?" Tu Su met her very serious gaze.

She bit her lower lip, but avoided his sight unnaturally, "Did you miss me when I left Qinchuan?"

Hearing her words, his ears immediately turned red, his face was a little hot, and he stammered, "You...why do you ask this."

Fortunately, it was at night, which covered up his embarrassment.

"I'm just asking," she simply grabbed his arm and said, "answer me quickly!"

"I..." He secretly swallowed nervously, looked away and said firmly, "I'm afraid that something will happen if you go out alone, so I'm very worried about your safety."

Worrying...it should be considered worrying...

Mu Ling thought about it for a while, and then asked, "Then if I get hurt, will you be sad?"

"I will be worried about your injury," he added, "but...if Lan Sheng is injured, I will also be worried."

After hearing his answer, I felt a little frustrated for some reason, so I turned my head and pouted, and kicked the branches beside the campfire, "Then if I forget you one day, you shouldn't be sad."

"Forget me?" He was a little dazed, but felt that she seemed not very satisfied with his previous answer, and after hesitating for a while, he whispered like a mosquito, "I will be sad."

Hearing this answer, Mu Ling smiled again, grabbed his sleeves, and his eyes seemed to crush a handful of bright stars, "Then you...can you give me Ah Xiang's pork belly?"

"No." This time he answered firmly.

She snorted, "I don't care about it." After she finished speaking, she lost her temper and kicked a branch beside the campfire.

Hmph, it seems that Munchkin doesn't like her at all!

"However, I will share my own food with you." He lowered his eyes and said in a low voice, but his words revealed firmness.

"That's more or less the same." She lifted her chin in satisfaction, coughed dryly a few times, and finally said what she had been thinking about for a long time.

"Then, do you... you like me?"
