not immortal

Jiang Xu was just running with his head down. In fact, ascetics don't need to rely on external objects to shelter from the rain at all, and the corners of their robes won't even get wet during the flow of spiritual power. But when he suddenly stopped and squatted down on the bridge, the ends of his hair were already Wet most of the time.

Jiang Xu opened his eyes blankly, and there was silence behind him—Yan Sui was not relentless this time, he finally couldn't help turning his head, the mist mixed with drizzle covered Qiongxiao Peak, only the corners of vermilion eaves drooping With a dangling brass bell.

"Huh," he breathed lightly, and murmured in a low voice, "What did senior brother see in that ancient maze, that he would come back like this..."

Temperament changed drastically.

The last word was hidden between his lips and teeth, and the iron lock bridge was deliberately stepped on, Jiang Xu stood up vigilantly, and instinctively moved towards the back.

"Hey, who is blocking the road here?" A harsh tone came from a distance ahead, "Let me see... Isn't this the pure-hearted little disciple of our suzerain!"

Jiang Xu pursed his lips, took a few steps back in silence, then stopped suddenly, and looked back quickly.

"Waiting for your good senior brother to save you?" The man gradually approached, holding the iron lock bridge with his fingers, shaking it vigorously on purpose, "It's a pity, even the senior brother thinks you are annoying, tsk tsk."

"Who said that?" Jiang Xu retorted him without changing his expression, his words were firm and clear, "Gao Hang, my senior brother has always cared for all senior fellow students. If I knew what you did, I would definitely not forgive you."

"It's really a pure heart," the man chuckled, even colder than expected Qiao Chunyu, "...it's so funny."

The man's face gradually appeared in the rain and fog, about 25 or [-] years old, with a square face, sharp eyebrows and thin eyes, and an honest and reliable appearance, but now he deliberately smiled at Jiang Xu with a gloomy expression, which ruined him A sense of decency all around.

His eyes swept past Jiang Xu's back, and then he sneered again, prolonging his tone on purpose, and stomped his feet heavily: "I heard that the suzerain gave you the sword of the elder brother, why didn't you take it with you?"

Without waiting for Jiang Xu to answer, he continued on his own: "I'm afraid the origin of this sword is unknown, but now that the rightful master is back, should I take it back?"

Jiang Xu just stared at him vigilantly, the bridge under his feet was shaking violently in the wind and rain, and the tinkling sound followed the mountains, forests and deep valleys towards the distance, he blinked slowly, and said: "If you really don't care much , why would you wait for me here?"

Qiongxiao Peak has always been secluded and quiet, and if it wasn't for something serious, no one would pass by here on weekdays, Jiang Xu thought, this Gao Hang was indeed in a hurry, the senior brother returned to the sect ahead of time, and he would not be able to—

"What kind of joke are you talking about?" Gao Hang's expression became more and more distorted with this sentence, and he interrupted him sharply, "I, Gao Hang, have a clear conscience, what should I care about! But you, Jiang Xu, you did it!" What, do you want everyone to know!"

Jiang Xu just watched him quietly, but Gao Hang felt that those pale pupils were full of sarcasm, he laughed sharply, and continued without waiting for Jiang Xu to say anything else Go: "You said that Qiongxiao Peak is so high—oh, by the way, you haven't found your sword yet, have you?"

As he spoke, he moved forward again, Jiang Xu frowned, and finally stepped back, his tone cold: "This place is only tens of breaths away from Qiongxiao Peak, Gao Hang, you really don't want to let Master go." In your eyes?"

"What can senior brother know?" Gao Hang grinned nonchalantly, "It's just that the weather is wet and cold, and it's not easy to walk even with a bridge. Junior brother Jiang, you don't know how to control a sword..."

He deliberately paused, then smiled and said word by word: "What does it have to do with me if I accidentally slipped and fell?"

The whole body was suddenly cold, and the spring rain seemed to seep into his skin along his clothes. Jiang Xu took another two steps back, only to see Gao Hang stomping his feet suddenly, the iron lock bridge was shaking, and the tinkling of the earthquake made Jiang Xu's feet numb. Finally, he stopped hesitating, turned around and ran towards the way he came from.

With such a big commotion, he couldn't help thinking, is Yan Sui deaf?

There was the sound of unhurried footsteps behind him, falling steadily behind him all the time, the pear tree at the head of the bridge gradually emerged from the mist, and it fell to the ground one after another. There was a slight creaking sound that could not be distinguished from the shaking, and his expression suddenly changed.

Earlier, when the weather was freezing, the Iron Lock Bridge was crushed by snow and cracked. Fortunately, there was no one on the bridge at that time. go.

Control what Gao Hang is going to do!After all, I am the most dangerous person!

"Jiang Xu, draw your sword," Gao Hang's unrelenting voice came from behind, "When things happen, you will only shrink behind senior brother, you are really a waste."

Then there must be a sword that can be drawn!Jiang Xu slandered, and let out some disordered breathing between his clenched teeth. Only a dozen steps away from the end, there was a sudden hissing and roaring from behind—the Burning Fire Art met the wet and cold spring rain, and countless water vapors evaporated. Jiang Xu Bowing and twisting, he avoided Gao Hang's formula dangerously.

"Are you crazy?" He finally couldn't help shouting to Gao Hang, "It's cold today, and you still use the Burning Fire Art, how can this iron lock bridge stand the toss!"

"Wouldn't that be better," Gao Hang put his fingers together on his chest, and stopped abruptly, "Jiang Xu, you are really stupid. I wanted you to die, so why would I care about this?"

But Jiang Xu didn't answer him any more, and his steps became more and more hurried. Unfortunately, the bridge was wet and slippery. He touched the back several times, but he could only find nothing. This time, he remembered Jian Louzi and Yan Sui's reprimand, and secretly regretted it. Always forget to bring your own sword when you go out.

On the other hand, Gao Hang watched him towards the tree with gloomy eyes. Seeing that Jiang Xu was about to leave the bridge, he slashed forward with the hand that had been erected in front of his chest, and there was a louder cracking sound than before behind Jiang Xu. When the sound sounded, his calf exerted strength, and he jumped into the gray sky in an instant.

Whoa-!

One cold and one hot suddenly alternated, and the iron lock bridge broke directly. Jiang Xu's feet were empty, and his eyes suddenly opened wide.

Gao Hang really dared to...!

He subconsciously let out a short scream, the gray sky quickly occupied all his vision, and the spring rain cut his face like a knife. For a long time, Jiang Xu's mind was blank, and he could only vaguely realize that he opened his mouth and spit out something. Broken names.

it seems that……

"Yan... Sui—!"

The tail sound was broken and out of tune in the hunting wind.

"Yan Sui—!"

He suddenly fell into a firm and warm embrace, and a muffled groan came from above his head, Jiang Xu's eyes widened in a daze, and warm tears rushed out of his eyes belatedly.

"Why are you crying?" Yan Sui sighed and laughed, "You only know to call me when something happens. You really are heartless."

He embraced Jiang Xu with one hand, and supported the plain green bamboo umbrella with the other. There were bamboo leaves mixed with pear petals hovering between the cliffs. Jiang Xu struggled instinctively, but his waist suddenly tightened.

"Don't move around," Yan Sui laughed softly, and led him to float up leisurely, "Xu Xu has indeed grown up, and she can't be hugged easily like she was when she was young."

Jiang Xu lowered his head and glanced, Fanjiang roared and ran across the cliff, Yan Sui's boot lightly touched a green bamboo leaf, leading him up a section.

Stepping on Ye Feihong, the senior brother really gained a lot from this experience.

He consciously embraced Yan Sui's arm, his knuckles turned white with force, he breathed a sigh of relief, and obediently admitted his mistake: "I was wrong, senior brother."

Yan Sui just glanced at him lightly, and said, "Go up and tell you about it."

"Oh."

Jiang Xu responded obediently, turned his eyes around and stared at Yan Sui again, his temple hair was wet on his face, reminding people of that white parrot locked in a cage for no reason.

I don't know who looks like whom, Yan Sui thought, and the smile on the corner of his mouth became more and more gentle.

The whistling mountain wind and the steep spring rain all around were completely blocked by the green umbrella and Yan Sui. Just as Jiang Xu wanted to move, the arm around his waist tightened a little warningly.

So he had no choice but to be a quiet ornament, letting Yan Sui slowly float up with himself, his eyes wandered around the other person several times, and finally landed on the umbrella handle.

It's not suitable anywhere else, Jiang Xu thought, except for those sluts, who would keep staring at people, it's really too rude.

It's a pity that the quiet atmosphere in the valley was weird, he was quiet for a while, and finally couldn't help it, calling out: "Senior brother."

Hearing the sound, Yan Sui bowed his head, and bumped into those amber pupils with reddish rims, which were light, as if filled with the soft spring rain and the bright landscape of early spring.

"What's the matter?" He spoke in a hoarse voice, as if he was afraid of disturbing a fantasy dream, "What does Xu Xu want to say?"

"I'm a little cold," Jiang Xu also complained to him half-truthfully, with a slightly long ending, "You can't do it?"

The knuckles holding the umbrella handle tightened, and Yan Sui seemed to laugh, low and undetectable.

"Talk nonsense again," he rarely replied unreasonably, "I'll let go."

……

After he set foot on Qiongxiao Peak again, Jiang Xu let go quickly, the iron lock bridge broke into two pieces and fell down, he breathed a sigh of relief, his legs felt weak, and he walked away from the gate of Huangquan.

If it wasn't for Yan Sui...

He thought about it, and paused again, Yan Sui came over holding the umbrella again, and pulled him under the umbrella involuntarily.

"Since the bridge is broken," he heard Yan Sui's voice that remained unchanged from beginning to end, "it's better to take a rest for a day. There is quite a lot of movement this time. Naturally, the other peak owners have also received the news, and they are all on their way here."

Jiang Xu shook his head, and said, "I have to trouble my brother to give me a ride, and now I can still catch up with the morning class."

After all, I've been too lazy all these years, Jiang Xu thought, if I were able to fight with a sword today, I wouldn't wait for Yan Sui to rescue me.

Brothers will always be absent.

"You—" Yan Sui slightly pressed the end of his brows, his eyes darkened, "It's related to you at this time, how can you just walk away."

Jiang Xu's heart tightened, then he relaxed quickly, and explained to him in a slow voice: "It's just that it's damp and cold in early spring, and the Tiesuo Bridge was, um, froze again. Isn't there a senior brother here?"

After he finished speaking, he laughed guiltily, and said, "Brother came just in time."

Yan Sui stopped laughing, stared at him for a long time, and then said coldly: "It was frozen?"

Jiang Xu knew that Yan Sui would not be able to hide this lie, but he just wanted to test his attitude, but now he could only forcefully smile, stuttering: "Then, what does that brother think, why?"

"Such obvious traces of the Burning Fire Jue, Jiang Xu, do you still want to say that you did it accidentally?" Yan Sui's fingers holding the handle of the umbrella turned white, "I don't know when you will be able to do it." It's come to this point."

Jiang Xu shut his mouth knowingly, but he heard more and more obvious anger in Yan Sui's tone: "Other people hurt you, and you still want to speak for him?"

"I..." He opened his mouth, and finally turned his eyes, leaving only one sentence, "Brother, I know I was wrong."

There were a few crackling sounds in the rain and fog, and he raised his head, only to be surprised that Yan Sui kept looking at him with his eyebrows pressed down, with an obscure expression on his face.

"Jiang Xu."

He called out in a cold voice, but sighed heavily after a pause, the bamboo umbrella fell to the ground, maybe it was an illusion, Jiang Xu actually felt that Yan Sui looked a little slumped at the moment.

"Are you being so stupid and kind to everyone?" he asked.

No, Jiang Xu moved his lips and looked at him silently.

not like this.
