Why do you want me to be the sect leader?

Du Huaike didn't understand what Huo Jiulin and the others said, but seeing his favorite Uncle Xia was a little happy, he ran over and shouted, "Uncle Xia!"

The man turned his head and looked over, Du Huaike had already run in front of him, and Huo Jiulin walked over with Shen Yiqing on his back.

"Little monkey, why are you here? Where's your grandpa?"

"Grandpa went to help Dr. Wei collect herbs, and I'll take my elder brother and the others to see the sea."

It was only then that the man discovered that there were two more people. Although he had heard from Du Huaike that his grandfather had rescued the two of them before, he had never seen them.

Huo Jiulin stopped, and when he got closer, he discovered that there was a big blue mark on the right side of the man's face, almost covering half of his face, but it didn't look like a birthmark either.

"little monkey?"

Huo Jiulin was a little curious about this title, Du Huaike pouted and said, "Because I can't sit still every time Uncle Xia taught me how to play chess, so Uncle Xia said that I jump up and down like a monkey."

"Pretty vivid."

"Little monkey, take your time to appreciate, I'll go back first."

The man was about to leave as he said that, Huo Jiulin asked, "Are you also enjoying the scenery, senior?"

"Yes."

"Oh, I thought Senior was looking for something."

"No……"

"Just now we picked up a painting while walking. The painting is exquisite. When I saw the senior, I thought it was lost by the senior."

After Huo Jiulin finished saying this, he saw the man's face change. Shen Yiqing on Huo Jiulin's back handed over the painting, and Du Huaike quickly took it and asked for credit: "Uncle Xia, didn't you draw this? I I saw a lot in your house last time."

The man came back to his senses and smiled lightly: "Yes, I drew it. Maybe it was blown away by the strong wind just now. I thought I couldn't find it."

"I don't know who the predecessor painted?"

"It's just a random drawing when I'm idle."

"Tsk, that's a coincidence. It just so happens that a person I know looks exactly like the person in your painting. I think he will be shocked if he sees the painting."

The man looked at Huo Jiulin in shock, maybe he was breathing too fast, and he couldn't help coughing. Du Huaike worried, "Uncle Xia, are you feeling unwell again? I'll accompany you to find Dr. Wei."

"Cough, cough, cough, cough, it's okay... Maybe there was a wind blowing just now, and it will be fine in a while."

"I think he's really uncomfortable."

Shen Yiqing whispered in Huo Jiulin's ear. Huo Jiulin carefully observed the person in front of him. He clearly had normal legs, but he was still on crutches, which showed that his body was indeed weak, and his normal left face looked a little pale.

"Have you finished taking the medicine given by Miracle Doctor Mu?"

"No." After he finished speaking, he turned his head to look at the sea. Huo Jiulin couldn't see his expression clearly, but his whole body seemed to be covered with a layer of sadness.

"The two of you have a strong aura of the world, why do you appear here?"

"Senior can actually see that we have the aura of the world, which means that the senior is also a member of the world?"

"Heh, with my crippled body, how can I be considered a member of the Jianghu? My Jianghu ended 30 years ago, and now it's your young people's world."

"Senior is also surnamed Xia, I wonder if I can know the young master Li Shumen 30 years ago, Xia Chen?"

"who are you?"

"The junior's surname is Huo, Huo Jiulin."

"Your surname is Huo? Your surname is Huo... Huo..." His expression was a little painful, and he didn't know what he thought of, "He... is he okay?"

"The junior doesn't know if the person the senior said is the same person I know."

"Forget it, it's all over."

He left this sentence, turned around and left, Huo Jiulin was not in a hurry, and after he walked a few steps, he said: "But the person that this junior knew has passed away."

The man's back froze and he didn't turn around, but he seemed to be trembling all over. Du Huaike ran forward to help him with some worry, and said in surprise, "Uncle Xia, why are you crying? Is it uncomfortable? I... I'll call Doctor Wei is here."

Du Huaike ran away after finishing speaking, Huo Jiulin stepped forward with Shen Yiqing on his back, Shen Yiqing motioned him to put himself down, he let Shen Yiqing down carefully, and then supported him.

"Senior, are you alright?"

Shen Yiqing asked softly, and Huo Jiulin watched quietly. He always thought that it was Xia Chen who misunderstood the matter between Master and Xia Xuelan.

So he left in a fit of anger, but seeing Xia Chen like this now doesn't seem like it.

"He's dead... is he dead?"

"The teacher passed away a few months ago."

"How could he...how could he die...I...cough, cough, cough..."

The man coughed badly, so he simply squatted down and sat on the beach. Huo Jiulin helped Shen Yiqing to sit down as well, and the surroundings fell silent for a while.

"My teacher's biggest regret in this life is that he didn't find the person he was looking for. After searching for a lifetime, he still couldn't see the last person. That person is Xia Chen. Do you know each other?"

The man closed his eyes and said in a trembling voice, "I am Xia Chen."

Huo Jiulin's guess was confirmed, but he felt unspeakably uncomfortable. It would be great if the master was still alive, so that he could tell the master that he had found Xia Chen when he went out after a while.

"Senior lived in seclusion here because he misunderstood Master back then?"

Xia Chen shook his head, "I know he was wronged, because I knew it was a trap from the very beginning. My second sister likes him, so I tried to trick him into the room and drug him, hoping to have a good life." The rice is cooked into rice."

Huo Jiulin and Shen Yiqing were a little surprised, "You know? You know why..."

"My second sister and my father accidentally overheard me discussing this matter. I objected, but my objection didn't work."

"Your father also participated? How could the majestic Li Shumen agree with his daughter to do such a thing? Didn't he ever think that if things were exposed, not only Li Shumen would be destroyed, but his daughter's Has your reputation been ruined?"

"He knows that even if he fails, Huo Bin won't say anything, because he has a kindness to Huo Bin, and he will be reborn with kindness."

"then you……"

"I saw that they insisted on this and refused to listen to dissuasion, so I wanted to inform Huo Bin, and my father sent someone to arrest me and lock me up in a secret room for a while. I fled to the edge of the cliff and was shot down by my father himself."

"what?"

If it was said that Huo Jiulin and Shen Yiqing were a little surprised when they heard what they said just now, they couldn't tell what it was like now, Xia Chen smiled wryly.

"You don't need to be surprised, in my father's eyes, Shumen Li's reputation is more important than anything else, I am his son, and Huo Bin is his most proud disciple.

We are both men, if we insist on being together, it will definitely damage Li Shumen's reputation, that's why he agrees with Second Sister's approach. "

"In that case, why don't you go back and make it clear?"

"Yes, do you know that my master has been looking for you all his life? Haven't you thought about his feelings?"

"How do I go back? Just like this person who is neither human nor ghost?"

"How can people who really love each other care about changes in appearance?"

"But I care. What I care about is not his appearance, but his future. He had such a good future at the beginning, and I am a dying person. I don't know how long I can live. Why bother him... He should have a better life..."

"What is a better life? Do you know that my master has crippled his right leg and has been a beggar all his life, wandering around, looking for news about you!"

Xia Chen was stunned, "legs?"

"Your second sister drugged him. When he wanted to leave, he pushed your second sister. As a result, your second sister knocked down the antique shelf and hurt her leg. He crippled his right leg and left Li Shumen."

As soon as Xia Chen lowered his head, tears kept falling. For the past 30 years, he has been remembering Xigu, and he has never gone out, and he dare not go out.

"I don't know... I thought that after a long time, he would forget about me and start over."

"Then you forgot about him?"

"I……"

"If you forget, you won't draw so many portraits of him. You can remember every frown, smile and expression clearly. You can't forget it yourself. Why do you think my master can forget it?"

"They said that when they found me at the bottom of the cliff, I was actually on the verge of death, and the wounds on my body were still poisonous. Everyone concluded that I would not survive. It was Miraculous Doctor Mu, who happened to be there.

But no matter how good his medical skills are, he is not a fairy. In order to save my life, he had to take the risk and used the method of fighting poison with poison, which took half a year. "

"Although I survived half a year later, Doctor Mu said that he couldn't guarantee how long I would live. The right side of my face was destroyed by these poisons, and my body was also very weak.

Although I am alive, I am like a useless person, a person who has been disfigured, crippled in martial arts, and poisoned all over. How can I bear to find him..."

"How can you bear to drag him down? Instead of letting him suffer with me, it's better to go to the end of the world. At least the memory will always be the best look at the beginning."

Shen Yiqing turned her head slightly, unable to bear to look at Xia Chen's expression now, there is too much helplessness in life, Xia Chen gazed into the distance, the sea shimmering under the sun, it was too beautiful.

He closed his eyes, as if returning to the situation when he first saw Huo Bin, when he was only six years old, saw his father brought back a dirty child, and then announced that the child would be his first in the future There are six apprentices.

Huo Bin is two years older than Xia Chen, but because he started late, Xia Chen always likes to call him Junior Junior Brother. It may have something to do with his experience. Huo Bin has a calm temper since he was a child, and he just frowned every time he heard the word "Junior Junior Brother" , does not respond.

"Junior brother, are you still practicing at this late hour?"

Xia Chen woke up at night and found that Huo Bin hadn't slept yet. He ran over and asked in surprise. The eight-year-old Huo Bin looked indifferent, as if there was no one around him, and continued to study the moves taught by his master today. Xia Chen sat on the steps and watched with his chin in his hands.

"Little brother, aren't you sleepy? I've already slept through it."

"Little brother, why are you working so hard? I think the martial arts taught by my father are really boring. Practicing is the most boring thing."

"Little brother, why don't you call me senior brother? Although you are two years older than me, you are still the first to start with me, so you should call me senior brother."

"Little brother, why are you ignoring me?"

"Little Junior Brother, you..."

"You are noisy!"

Huo Bin casually threw three words over, and Xia Chen ran up to Huo Bin happily when he heard the words, and said with a smile, "Are you willing to talk to me? Then can you call me senior brother?"

Because he is the youngest, he has always been called other people's brother. Now he has finally caught a latecomer, so naturally he can't let it go. It can be seen that Huo Bin has a deadpan expression on his face. He is afraid that Huo Bin will be angry, so he puts on He waved his hand and said, "Forget it, I just wanted to say that you made a mistake in that move, that's why you can't do it well no matter how you practice."

"You can?"

"Of course, come on, let me teach you."

At that time, Huo Bin was just practicing martial arts, and he didn't know much about many moves. Xia Chen, who had been learning for more than a year, was naturally much more proficient than him. How long, it was surpassed...
