Slave forever

Three years later.

"Chang Yuan, you poisoned my lunch again?"

Chu Yue held up the shining silver needle and showed it to the person opposite with a blank expression. The tip of the needle had already been covered with a layer of bluish black.

Chang Yuan smiled like a spring breeze, "Oh, fourteen, you don't know how to eat anyway, so I'll just practice."

"..."

"Don't be angry, let's go, I'm late and Master will be nagging again, today is a big day for us to get out of the valley."

Chu Yue stared depressedly at the tempting steaming meals on the table. God knows, he hasn't eaten since yesterday morning!Because since yesterday morning, basically everything that can be eaten in the valley has been poisoned.Unless he dared to grab food from the owner of the valley, he would have to be so hungry that he couldn't even drink his saliva, otherwise he would die before he left, and bones would be added to the cold pool.

It is obvious that they can go out of the valley today... Those people really don't miss any chance.

Chang Yuan dragged Chu Yue, and the two came to the entrance of Guigu Valley, where everyone else was already waiting.It is said to be all, but still very few.

In the past three years, people have died in various assassinations or simply disappeared.There are only four people who can stand here today, including Chu Yue and Chang Yuan.

The other two happened to be a man and a woman, the man's name was Chang Gan, and the woman's name was Xi Fei.When the two saw Chu Yue and Chang Yuan, they looked indifferent, staring at their own toes in a daze.

When it was noon, the sun was already shining brightly above the head, but the master was still nowhere to be seen, but the servant girl of the valley master picked up the stars and came from the sky, and threw a jade tablet to each of the four, and said loudly: "Everyone is a member of this year's class." The best of the ghost valley disciples can now leave the valley on their own."

The four of them looked at the jade cards in their hands, and left without saying goodbye to each other. Only Chang Yuan dragged Chu Yue to go with him, but they were told by Zhao Xing that there was something important to do, and Chang Yuan was sent away.

At this time, Chu Yue was no longer as thin and weak as when he first came to Guigu. Three years had allowed him to fully grow, and he had become a silent, steady, heroic young man. The vicious and vicious breath only made him more cautious.

——At the same time, it is more repulsive to people thousands of miles away.

When they finished walking, only Zhai Xing and Chu Yue stood in place and looked at each other.

Seeing her looking at him with complicated expressions, Chu Yue felt very strange.Zhai Xing has taken good care of him over the years, but it doesn't seem like he has other plans, so he still can't see clearly the reality of this woman.

The other party silently handed over a few gold leaves, Chu Yue was stunned for a moment, but did not reach out to take them.

As if he couldn't see his suspicious gaze, Zhai Xing stretched out his hand to grab his hand and opened it, stuffed everything in, and before Chu Yue could say no, he said to him quickly and in a low voice: "Young master If you are in trouble, hurry back to the Holy Gate."

Chu Yue was startled, what happened to Yan Huaifeng?

"Turn right out of the valley, and the horses have been prepared for you. Fourteen, remember your identity, you are not a killer, but a shadow guard. Don't forget your loyalty that would rather die than surrender."

Chu Yue was already very anxious when he heard Yan Huaifeng's name, and he disappeared completely before his eyes.Soon the sound of horseshoes sounded, and it gradually drifted away.

Zhai Xing stood where he was, watching the young man's receding figure from a distance, and sighed silently.

The distance between Ghost Valley and the holy gate was not far, and the horse given to him by picking the stars was a one-in-a-million horse. Chu Yue returned to the holy gate that night in a hurry.

As soon as he got off his horse, he heard the sound of weapons being unsheathed, and three or five people surrounded him, shouting with gloomy expressions, "Who is that!"

Chu Yue saw their expressions as if they were facing a formidable enemy, and his heart sank. Thinking of what Zhai Xing said to him, he felt that the matter was even more strange, so he only said that he was a shadow guard in training. He had just returned from Ghost Valley and was going to See Xuanwei.Those people looked him up and down suspiciously for a while, and then checked the identity token carefully before waving him in.

Leaving the encirclement, feeling that the eyes behind him were still piercing him like needles, Chu Yue didn't dare to act rashly, and went straight to Xuanwei's residence as if nothing had happened.

Xuan Wei was urging his disciples to practice kung fu. Seeing that Chu Yue came out of Ghost Valley intact, he was overjoyed. He pulled him up and down, left and right, and made sure that he was not missing any arms or legs, so he slapped Chu vigorously. Yue Yue's shoulder, smiled and said: "Stinky boy, you are lucky."

Chu Yue's heart was relieved, and he lived in fear all day long in Guigu. Everyone was a master at injuring people with hidden knives and hidden arrows in their smiles. Seeing Xuanwei's grinning grin now, it was like the kind of relatives who are sincerely happy because they have a future. It's a lot easier even with myself.

Chu Yue tentatively mentioned Yan Huaifeng, "By the way, Uncle Xuan, the young master—"

Xuanwei's smile froze when he heard this, and he turned his head uncomfortably and shouted at those disciples who started to be lazy: "Don't be lazy! Anyone who can't practice basic body skills today is not allowed to eat dinner!"

There was a lot of wailing in the crowd immediately.

Xuanwei glared at them again, and then led Chu Yue into the room without saying a word.

Chu Yue knew in his heart that something serious happened to Yan Huaifeng this time, otherwise Xuan Wei couldn't have such an attitude.

Xuanwei carefully closed the doors and windows, and seeing that there were only the two of them left, he solemnly lowered his voice and said to Chu Yue: "Don't mention the young master in the future, I will arrange you to be someone else's shadow guard, never Tell others, the young master once chose you personally, do you hear me?"

Chu Yue frowned, how could he listen to Xuan Wei's voice, the topic about the young master can't even be mentioned now?What happened, why is the Holy Gate so heavily guarded?

Seeing that Chu Yue frowned and said nothing, Xuan Wei knew that he would not, and was still waiting for persuasive persuasion, when the other party suddenly raised his head, looked straight into his eyes, and said seriously and resolutely: "Uncle Xuan, you You taught me that as a shadow guard, the first priority is loyalty. I was chosen by the young master himself, so I should be loyal to him for the rest of my life. Please at least tell me what happened to him."

Xuan Wei knew that he would not be obedient and obedient, and there was nothing he could do to help him, he sighed and struggled for a long time, picked up the tea on the table and drank it down, smashed the teacup on the table heavily, and then said bitterly: " Yan Huaifeng is now in Meili Snow Mountain, imprisoned in the ice prison on the top of the mountain."

"What?" Chu Yue gasped - the ice prison in Meili Snow Mountain is specially used to imprison the most heinous people!What mistake did Yan Huaifeng make to be sent to that kind of place?He is the most beloved only son of the master of the Holy Gate!

Shocked, Chu Yue blurted out, "Is the sect master still out of the gate? Who dares to imprison the young master?!"

Xuanwei quickly covered his mouth, for fear that his voice would attract something, "Shhh—it's the order from the sect master! Fourteen! Don't be stupid!"

During the three years in Guigu, Chu Yue had to repel three groups of assassins on average every day, drive away the ubiquitous Gu worms, deal with poisoned food, pull out the needles in the pillows and bedding, Chang Yuan's "pranks", which are both true and false, even so, have never been as devastated as they are now.

Under Xuanwei's concerned gaze, Chu Yue reluctantly agreed to the proposal of obediently going back to the room to rest.However, as soon as Xuanwei left, he immediately tidied up and went to the Holy Gate Hall to ask to see Yan Qinghe.

He must ask the sect master why Yan Huaifeng was imprisoned, and persuade him to think twice.

Walking from the Ningqing Hall where the Shadow Guard lived to the Thousand Tribulation Hall of the Holy Gate, Chu Yue felt that the atmosphere of the entire Holy Gate became more and more strange.The gazes of all the people along the way made his hair stand on end. Their expressions were stiff and their eyes were gloomy. They looked at others as if they had seen a ghost, full of suspicion and temptation. This made Chu Yue feel very uncomfortable, as if he was in a strange place. ghosts.

There is no one guarding the gate of the Thousand Tribulation Hall.

Chu Yue hesitated for a moment, but went in anyway.

The main hall is still deep and secluded, and the sun is still shining brightly outside, but the depths of the hall have already been lit with numerous lights, bringing a sense of blur like a dream.The unknown spices in the incense burner were still burning, and the smoke was light, making the vision slightly blurred.

On the high steps, the gold-plated seat is illuminated by the dim candlelight, and its texture is like brass.

As soon as Chu Yue raised his eyes, he could see that Yan Qinghe was sitting in the hall with his eyes closed. I don't know if it was because of the light or what, but his face was full of shadows, giving him a somewhat gloomy and cold feeling.

Yan Qinghe should have just passed his age at this time, and his martial arts is almost perfect, so it seems that he shouldn't be so old.

Chu Yue remembered that in his previous life, Yan Qinghe Chuan was always a dignified, strict and prudent person before Yan Huaifeng. Under his leadership, the Holy Gate was well-known in the world, and no one dared to belittle him.

But now...

Yan Qinghe slowly opened his eyes, looked down at the person kneeling on one knee, his face was expressionless, and his voice was low and majestic, "What's the matter?"

Chu Yue hurriedly put away his wild thoughts, and lowered his head to report, "This subordinate is the Young Master's Shadow Guard Fourteen, who has just returned from training in Ghost Valley. Knowing that the sect master has imprisoned him in the ice prison, this subordinate has the courage to dare Ask the young master what exactly he committed?" After speaking, he anxiously waited for the other party's reaction.

Yan Qinghe didn't answer immediately, but stared at Chu Yue silently, his eyes seemed to have substance, making Chu Yue feel like a light on his back, even breathing carefully.

After a long time, Yan Qinghe sneered and said word by word: "Yan Huaifeng vainly tried to kill his father and usurp the throne. The crime is unforgivable. I didn't expect that there was a fish that slipped through the net here. It's a pity that it's too stupid. It can be seen that it will not be a big deal after all. Come on." !"

Yan Qinghe suddenly raised his voice, and countless guards with weapons poured out from all over the seemingly laxly guarded hall, encircling Chu Yue in the middle, narrowing the encirclement step by step.

Chu Yue never believed that Yan Huaifeng would do such a thing. After all, Yan Qinghe only had one son. After a hundred years, this holy door would not fall into the hands of others. How could he do such absurd things as killing his father and usurping the throne.

However, the situation is unclear now, and Yan Qinghe can't say anything else, and obviously regards him as Yan Huaifeng's accomplice and wants to put him to death.

Chu Yue was not afraid of death, but Yan Huaifeng was imprisoned in the ice prison alone, if he captured Yan Huaifeng with no hands, he would be locked there forever.Judging from Xuanwei's attitude, he knew that no one in the Holy Sect was on Yan Huaifeng's side.

Chu Yue gritted his teeth and thought, the only young master is him.

A cold light flashed, and the long sword was unsheathed.
