Why do you want me to be the leader of the martial arts alliance?

When Mu Yunxi found Qiao Shuyu, Qiao Shuyu was celebrating Pei Yaoan's birthday in Fengxue Tower. He also followed the memory of his previous life and made a simple version of the cake, of course only eggs and flour were used.

"I've never seen this pastry in a shop."

"that is……"

"This is called a cake, and it's only available in our hometown."

"Where is your hometown? I've never heard you mention it!"

Pei Yao'an asked curiously, Qiao Shuyu was stunned for a moment, how to answer this question, they don't know, it sounds incredible!

"It's a very far away place, you don't know if you tell me, and I won't be able to go back for the time being, so let's not talk about it, I wish you a happy birthday!"

As Qiao Shuyu spoke, he took out a brocade box and handed it to Pei Yaoan. Pei Yaoan took it and opened it. Inside were six small wooden carvings, all of which looked like him.

He happily took it out to have a look, and said, "You really remember it!"

"Sorry, I didn't engrave it when you asked me to engrave it. I engraved it after you disappeared, and I kept thinking about when I would give it to you."

"I like it very much, I am very happy, this is the best gift I have ever received."

"That's it, then I don't need to send this one!"

Qiao Shuyu raised another brocade box in Yang's hand, Pei Yao'an took it with some doubts, and said, "How many gifts have you prepared?"

He opened it and saw a piece of jade pendant lying inside. He smiled and said, "This jade pendant is not bad, and the price is not low. Qiao Shuyu, you are silent and unwilling to make a fortune!"

"I don't have any money, I bought this with Yutong's money, so if you want to thank you, thank Yutong."

Hearing this, Liu Yutong smiled and took out a brocade box, and said, "This is a small gift from me, I wish you a happy birthday."

"Fuck, I'm really flattered that you have prepared so many gifts. I thought Qiao Shuyu would just play me off!"

"Hey Pei Yao'an, what do you mean by that? Am I such an unbearable person in your eyes?"

Several people were chatting and laughing. At this time, a person walked in from outside. He was the manager of Fengxuelou. He said directly to Qiao Shuyu, "Mr. Qiao, there is a young master looking for you outside."

Qiao Shuyu stood up instantly and looked at the corridor, but he didn't see anyone. Seeing this, the manager said, "Those young masters are at the door."

"Let them in."

"Yes……"

Qiao Shuyu couldn't help looking forward to it, wondering if Ye Tingyuan and the others had arrived?Calculating the time, it should be about a day's difference.

"Little Yuyu!"

Before seeing the person, he heard Mu Yunxi's voice. Qiao Shuyu was a little surprised, but he really didn't expect Mu Yunxi to come.

Counting it, it's been a long time since I saw Mu Yunxi here, and he lost his temper at Mu Yunxi in the last meeting, and now that I can see him, it's just a good time to apologize.

"Xiao Yuyu is sorry, I will never lie to you again, please forgive me!"

Mu Yunxi rushed over and hugged Qiao Shuyu, what Qiao Shuyu wanted to say was blocked in his throat, and he was almost knocked backward.

"Little Yuyu, please forgive me, okay?"

Mu Yunxi looked aggrieved, and Qiao Shuyu said helplessly, "Actually, I wasn't too angry. I was too excited at the time. I should say sorry to you."

"Are you really not mad at me?"

"Well, I shouldn't have lost my temper with you."

"No, no, no, you are right. I really did something wrong. I shouldn't have kept those things from you, but I really didn't mean anything malicious. You must believe me."

"I know……"

"I've been worried that you won't see me. It's great that you're willing to forgive me now. Will we still be good friends in the future?"

"Ah."

Mu Yunxi was instantly happy, he was finally relieved, his worries were gone, and he noticed that there seemed to be a table of delicious food in the yard, so he ran over to have a look.

"Wow, there are so many delicious foods, what is a good day today?"

"Today is my young master's birthday."

Pei Yao'an replied, Mu Yunxi didn't admit that he was a stranger, and sat down directly, and yelled for more bowls and chopsticks, he reached out and broke some cakes to taste.

"Well, this pastry is delicious. I haven't eaten it before. Where can I buy it?"

"I made it."

"Wow, Xiao Yuyu, when did you become so good at cooking? I remember you used to cook for Ye Tingyuan, it was a hell on earth!"

After Mu Yunxi finished speaking, she regretted it, er, she was really talkative, now Xiao Yuyu should still be angry with Ye Tingyuan, right?

He turned his head to look at Qiao Shuyu, but Qiao Shuyu's expression was quite natural, only then did he hear other footsteps, and he waved towards He Chenghuai.

"He Chenghuai, come here quickly, there are so many delicious foods here!"

It was only then that Qiao Shuyu remembered that Mu Yunxi and He Chenghuai were already together. Back then, the two of them discussed how to catch up with their sweetheart, but now Mu Yunxi has already caught up.

He was really happy for Mu Yunxi, but he was stunned when he turned around, because not only He Chenghuai, but also Ye Tingyuan walked over.

I don't know if it was an illusion, but he felt that the Ye Tingyuan he saw tonight seemed a little weak, and his face was a little pale. Could it be that he drank too much wine that night and hasn't recovered yet?

Ye Tingyuan walked over slowly, his eyes first set on the scar under the corner of Qiao Shuyu's right eye, and then slowly moved to his left arm.

Thinking of what Pei Yao'an said, he felt heartbroken. He never thought that Qiao Shuyu would rather hurt himself than think of him.

"Today is Pei Yao'an's birthday, so they are here to help him celebrate. It's really time for us to come. Look at so many delicious foods. You still have to come tomorrow. If you come tomorrow, you will miss it."

Mu Yunxi asked He Chenghuai for credit, and He Chenghuai patted his head helplessly. This guy's foodie personality can't be changed. Thinking back to the beginning, didn't he pester him because the cook at Yueze Villa made delicious food? ? !

"Have you eaten yet?"

Qiao Shuyu recovered and asked Mu Yunxi and the others. Mu Yunxi had already started eating. He shook his head upon hearing this, and Qiao Shuyu said, "Why don't we eat together, anyway, there are so many dishes."

"Okay, okay..."

Mu Yunxi was so focused on eating that her reply was a little vague, and the maid added a few more sets of bowls and chopsticks.

"Can we talk alone? Just a few words."

Ye Tingyuan suddenly said such a sentence, Qiao Shuyu hesitated for a while before nodding his head and leading him to the other side of the tree.

"what's up?"

Ye Tingyuan reached out to hold Qiao Shuyu's left hand, Qiao Shuyu subconsciously pulled it back, and even took a step back, Ye Tingyuan's hand stopped in midair.

"Say what you have to say directly."

"Twilight said he knows how to take out the bone-burning and soul-eating needle, so don't worry too much."

Qiao Shuyu was surprised. He had heard that even Mu Yunxi couldn't take out the bone-burning and soul-eating needle, so he never thought of writing to Mu Yunxi. Didn't he expect it to work?

"That guy thinks it's troublesome, so he deliberately let others misunderstand that he can't take it out at all."

Qiao Shuyu: "..." This really looks like Mu Yunxi's style.

"Although it can be taken out, the process may be a bit slow, because he still needs to study how much medicinal material and acupuncture method to use."

"Oh……"

Qiao Shuyu responded, not knowing what to say, although he had been wondering why Ye Tingyuan didn't follow these days, but now that people were really standing in front of him, he flinched again.

Ye Tingyuan suddenly raised his left arm and pushed his sleeve up with his right hand. Qiao Shuyu didn't understand why he did this at first, but when he saw the knife wound on his left arm, he was stunned.

"Xiaoyu, did you cause the wound on your left arm yourself?"

Qiao Shuyu opened his mouth, but didn't answer, or it should be said that he didn't know how to answer.

"These wounds on my arm were also cut by myself with a dagger."

"Why do you..."

"No reason, just to tell you that if you use a dagger to add new scars to your body in the future, I will do the same."

"you……"

Qiao Shuyu was a little annoyed, Ye Tingyuan smiled, put down his sleeves and said, "If you make a cut, I will do it. Don't think that I don't know about the secret cut, I will always know."

"Why do you do this?"

"Xiaoyu, if you hate me, come towards me. I just don't want you to hurt yourself any more. If you don't want to see me, just tell me. I just don't show up."

Qiao Shuyu was silent for a while before asking: "Ye Tingyuan, are you atoning for Xiao Shuyu's sin?"

"I'm not making atonement for Xiao Shuyu, I'm doing it for myself."

Qiao Shuyu looked at him with some puzzlement, but Ye Tingyuan didn't say anything more, just patted him on the shoulder, and said, "Okay, didn't you have dinner? Go and eat, the bone-burning needle Don't worry about it, there will be a solution, you have to trust Twilight."

After Ye Tingyuan finished speaking, he turned around and walked back, walked to the table and said to Mu Yunxi: "You guys eat slowly here, I'll go back to the inn first."

"Hey, don't you want to eat together?"

"No, there are still some things."

After speaking, he walked towards the corridor, walking forward step by step, and leaned against the pillar after making sure they couldn't see it, his hands trembling a little.

The bone-burning and soul-eating needle in his body, because Mu Yunxi had inserted the needle, happened from time to time, and there was no rule.

He leaned there panting, his breath was a bit heavy, if it wasn't for Fengxuelou, he might have been sitting on the ground long ago, he couldn't help thinking, is Qiao Shuyu also in this pain every time he has an attack?

"Young man, are you alright?"

The maid who came over with the drink saw Ye Tingyuan leaning against the pillar with a painful expression, and hurried over to ask, Ye Tingyuan opened his eyes and looked at her, and replied: "It's okay..."

After he finished speaking, seeing the disbelief on the servant girl's face, he didn't bother to explain anything. He stood up straight and continued to walk forward. On the surface, he seemed calm as water, but in fact he was clenching his teeth tightly.
