That night, when Zai Hong'an's reinforcements arrived, the remnants of the army outside the city had already dispersed, and most of them had retreated.

Many people saw the arrow shot from the bell tower and fell outside the city like a star falling. People talked about it, and most people said it was a miracle, and it was blessed by gods.

The next day's newspaper published the government's response, telling the people of Tongcheng to believe in science, and that light arrows are just new weapons that are still under development and only used in emergencies.

Only a painter with a window facing the clock tower knows that the government is telling lies, and he knows what is the truth.

He wanted to draw the scene of the day when the gods descended to earth, drawing bows and shooting arrows with his own pen.

But these are not important to Sheng Liuyu who fell asleep in Xie Changming's arms.

At eight o'clock in the morning, Xie Changming hadn't come down to order what breakfast to buy today, Boss Yi felt strange, went up to the second floor, and saw that the door was ajar again.The incident last time left a deep psychological shadow on her. She hesitated for a while before knocking heavily on the door a few times. Seeing no one answered, she opened the door and entered.

The inside is empty, everything has been tidied up, leaving no trace of human life.

Boss Yi froze for a moment, then took two steps inside.

There was a small box on the table with a note on it with two words written on it.

"compensate."

Xie Changming has paid the normal room rate until next month in advance.

Boss Yi opened the box, and there were more than a dozen gold bars neatly stacked inside. The glitter of gold almost caught her eyes.

There is no need to give so much.

Boss Yi is very greedy for money, but she doesn't want to accept these things. She wants to see Mr. Xie and Mrs. Xie again, but she knows that she will probably never see each other again in this life.

At this time, Xie Changming had already borrowed a car from Cheng Xian, and took the drowsy Sheng Liuyu for a drive.

They agreed that they would park the car at the port, and pick it up first when it was scheduled for tomorrow.

It happened to be a full moon that night, and at midnight, Zhou Xiaowu rowed a boat and stopped in front of them.

Time to go back.

Perhaps it was due to the excessive consumption of spiritual power that day, and the mist on the Black Sea continued to absorb spiritual power. During the few days of sailing at sea, Sheng Liuyu fell asleep most of the time.

Occasionally when he was sober, Xie Changming remembered to ask him what he used as a bow that day.

Under normal circumstances, it would have been easy for Sheng Liuyu to smash the weapons outside Tongcheng, but under the circumstances at that time, the little Changming Bird must be looking for real objects to transform.

Xie Changming's gaze was stern, Sheng Liuyu's eyes were half downcast, and she didn't look at him, probably trying to pretend to be dizzy.

Cats are very active and lively, and they have nothing to do when they are bored.At this time, it was standing at the bow of the boat, fishing for the moon in the sea through the mist. Hearing the conversation between the masters, he was stunned for a moment, and his feet were unsteady for a moment.

After a lot of chaos, Sheng Liuyu finally got the cat up, and Sheng Liuyu was really tired and fell asleep again.

It wasn't until after landing that the surrounding spiritual power suddenly became abundant, and Sheng Liuyu regained her spirits.

This time, there was no way to get by by sleeping.

Sheng Liuyu looked up at Xie Changming, and stuttered: "Use, use the hairpin you gave me. It will be broken after use..."

This is what it means to "death without testimony".

The stuttering in the front may be due to the damage of the gift given by others, but the little Changming bird is impossible to think that he has made a mistake, so the latter words gradually became more reasonable: "It is so useless, you have to pay me a new one." of."

Xie Changming sighed softly, and said with a smile, "What an unreasonable bird."

He said again: "I'll give you a new one. I gave you the hairpin. It's very good to use it like this, otherwise I'll have to use something else."

Xie Changming pointed out something.

Sheng Liuyu turned her head to look at the colorful clouds flowing beside her.

Xie Changming inexplicably saw some guilty conscience from his actions, but Sheng Liuyu quickly turned back, looked up at him, and said seriously: "Then you must mean what you say."

Xie Changming smiled and shook his head.

how come?The bird is still very good.

After returning to the academy, Xie Changming handed over the three Lihuncao to Mr. Xu and let him study them.Sheng Liuyu went back to the Shufengyuan for a few days. He has a child now, and Xiao Chongshan always needs to deal with some affairs outside. Ah Jiu can only put on a show. He is a little fool in essence and cannot solve the problem.Fortunately, the guards didn't dare to disturb Sheng Liuyu for some trivial matters, but after he came back, it still took him a few days to finish the work.

Mr. Xu deserves to study this method for many years. After experimenting with one plant of Lishun Grass, he successfully separated the other soul in Zhou Xiaoluo's body with the second plant of Lishun Grass. Ashes disappeared, but he also lost his mind, unable to ask any questions.

Fortunately, Zhou Xiaoluo came to his senses, but his vitality was seriously injured and he needed to rest for a while.

Mr. Xu carefully treasured the remaining Lihuncao. Xie Changming looked at it coldly, and he could probably guess what he was thinking.

After a few more days, Zhou Xiaoluo was finally able to get out of bed and walk around. The happiest thing was Ruan Liuxia. In order to thank Xie Changming and Sheng Liuyu for finding the life-saving Lihuncao, the host invited them to drink.Of course, it also brought the other two of Langyueyuan to eat together.

It's still winter now, and classes won't start until next spring. Everyone is busy, and the seats in Xiangui Pavilion are already fully booked. It can be seen that there are not a few people who indulge in pleasure in the academy.

Miss Ruan spent a lot of spirit stones to buy today's location from a senior brother, and set the time for the evening at You, and urged Xie Changming to invite Sheng Liuyu.

Xie Changming was surprised and asked her why she didn't invite her herself.

Ruan Liuxia said: "Sheng Liuyu's reputation is well known to everyone in the academy, I'm not sure about inviting him. You must have some friendship when you go out to find medicine with him. If you can't invite him, I don't have to go."

You are right.

If Ruan Liuxia went, she would definitely not be able to invite the little Changming bird, that little thing seemed to be allergic to people, so she was reluctant to come to these lively places.

But Xie Changming didn't directly refuse, he was still going to ask.

Sheng Liuyu came at noon.He was leaning against the door frame, with long black hair hanging down, wearing a white jade hairpin, and changed into new clothes, with a snow-white inner lining and a golden gauze outer covering. The bright color made him look much more lively , but in line with his current age.

Xie Changming asked, "Why did you change your clothes today?"

Sheng Liuyu walked into the house and said casually, "I'm getting tired of always wearing green."

Xie Changming knew that he had always been a very cute little bird.In the past, the tail feathers were not enough, and the feathers of other birds were used to decorate the tail, and many kinds of feathers had to be replaced.Now in human form, it is natural to do the same.In the past, he was deaf and blind, and it was rare for him to open his eyes. Normally, he couldn't see what he was wearing, so he didn't care about the color and style of his clothes. But now that his eyes are healed, he has to pay attention to his attire.

It's just that I don't know who chose this outfit, it's too picky.If someone else wears it, it will probably look like a walking ball of light, but if it is worn on Sheng Liuyu's body, it will show his tall and straight figure, making his eyebrows look like distant mountains, his lips a little red, and his appearance is noble and beautiful.

He walked to Xie Changming's side and said, "What's the matter? I picked it."

Xie Changming coaxed him: "It's very suitable, you look good in it."

Sheng Liuyu smiled when he heard this, taking it for granted.

Xie Changming asked again: "By the way, Ruan Liuxia is going to invite us to Xiangui Pavilion for dinner, are you going?"

Sheng Liuyu stayed here for a while, and was very familiar with the people in Langyue Courtyard, and she was not as allergic to strangers, so she said softly, "Go with you."

When it was Youshi, several people from Langyue Academy rushed to Xiangui Pavilion and gathered in the small pavilion.

It was dusk and it was snowing lightly. There were a few fairy herons standing alone on the cold river in front of the pavilion. Some people were wearing coir raincoats and digging ice for fishing. It was a bit of fun.

Chen Yibai came early, and when he saw Xie Changming and Sheng Liuyu coming together, he was taken aback, and secretly talked to Cong Yuan, probably guessing why the divine bird suddenly condescended to associate with them, mortals whom he never paid attention to.

Cong Yuan was not surprised, he thought he knew far more than Chen Yibai, and kept the secret strictly.

Ruan Liuxia led Zhou Xiaoluo and was the last to arrive.Zhou Xiaoluo went through a catastrophe, and her face was still a little pale. She was tightly wrapped by Ruan Liuxia, wearing a jacket inside and fur outside, sitting on a stone bench, almost turning into a ball.

Chen Yi speaks a lot of vernacular, very familiar, and his mouth is a bit cheap, after a while, he couldn't help but talk to Sheng Liuyu.

He asked: "Mr. Sheng, you were still practicing closed-mouth meditation a few years ago, don't you do it now?"

There was a bit of indignation in his tone, as if he still remembered Sheng Liuyu's neglect of him three years ago.

Sheng Liuyu glanced at Chen Yibai, remembering that he had a deep hatred with him in the past, but he forgave him because of his great tolerance, and said calmly: "It's just a closed-mouthed meditation, and it can be cultivated in a few years."

Added another sentence: "If you were you, you would shut up for decades."

Chen Yibai: "..."

Chen Yibai realized that even if he didn't take Sheng Liuyu's status as a divine bird into account, he might not be able to speak against him.

Is there any reason for this? !

Xie Changming listened to the two of them talking, undisguisedly pulling aside, and said to Chen Yibai: "There are so many words, it's time to practice closed-mouth meditation."

Chen Yibai: "..."

Living together for three years, at least there should be some roommates, right?Xie Changming really has a heart of stone.

They just sat down, and the people from Xiangui Pavilion brought cold wine up first.

Chen Yibai picked up the jug and poured wine for everyone.

Sheng Liuyu pushed the cup out calmly, which meant that he wanted to drink too.

Xie Changming said, "He's still young."

So can not drink.

Chen Yibai glanced at Sheng Liuyu, and felt that he was in his youth, not very young, and had passed the age of not being able to drink alcohol.

But Xie Changming said that it's okay to be small, and the god bird didn't resist, so Chen Yibai naturally gave in quickly and jumped over Sheng Liuyu's cup.

Someone came to bring warm wine again, Xie Changming asked: "Is there juice made from fruit?"

The visitor was stunned for a moment, he worked here to earn spirit stones and received many guests.These days, even the fairies drink sweet fruit wine, there is no reason to drink fruit juice.

But the customer's request must always be met.He immediately said: "Although there is no one, but you can squeeze the fruit now, please wait a moment."

Xie Changming thought the fruit here was not good, so he took out the mustard seeds he had grown himself, and asked them to squeeze them and bring them up.

Chen Yibai watched silently, always felt that if Xie Changming wanted to hug his thighs, Xie Changming would be overly courteous, not to mention that Xie Changming himself was not such a character.

They lived together for three years and had many meals together.Once he ate sand from his meal, and wanted to ask the cook to settle the score, Xie Changming said leisurely, forget it, you are an earth spirit root, eating some sand is also considered reasonable.

So, why is this?

Chen Yibai took a sip of his wine, puzzled.

Xie Changming was waiting for them to bring juice, but he saw a paper swallow hovering in mid-air, landed lightly on the ice, and turned into a fairy heron in an instant, hiding among the birds.

It was the news from Bai Xiaosheng.

For ordinary news, Zhiyan would only stay in his room, and only for important matters, Bai Xiaosheng would use the formation he gave him to let Zhiyan track his whereabouts so as not to get lost.

Xie Changming stood up and said softly: "I'll go and see if the juice is ready, I'll come later."

Sheng Liuyu nodded obediently.

After Xie Changming went out, he took the news in his hands, and instead of opening it to read it immediately, he put it away first.After going to the back kitchen again, the juice was ready and put into a white porcelain slender neck bottle.

There is a long corridor leading to the Lengyue Pavilion. Xie Changming was walking out, but before he left the house, his figure was hidden in the dark.

He saw Sheng Liuyu look around as if looking around, saw no one, and pushed out the cup again, it seemed that he didn't take the initiative to refuse, but in fact he silently accepted Chen Yibai's filled cold wine.

Sheng Liuyu picked up the wine glass, took a sip, choked out from the heat, blushed, let go of the wine glass quickly, and took a snack to eat.

Stealing drinkers, disobedient, self-inflicted cubs.

Probably after finally swallowing the spicy taste, Sheng Liuyu finally raised his head, unexpectedly seeing Xie Changming coming towards him.He was in such a hurry that he didn't even hear footsteps.

Sheng Liuyu's eyes were full of surprise, and even his fingertips were tense, as if he was taken aback.

Xie Changming smiled, "Didn't you just wait obediently? Little liar."
