C173 (2/2)

The eldest senior brother would often bring a fresh tail of fish to Lu Beiyou to cook, and Xiao Lu, that sparrow, would also frequently come to eat some of his meat.

Even though the head master was strict with him and even taught him how to kill people, the second master often protected him from harm so that he could go against the head master.

”I'm back.”

Suddenly, the door opened, and an aged voice sounded out, interrupting Lu Beiyou's worries. He saw the Honorable Master, Fan Qingshan, standing in his room with a smile on his face, looking at him.

Lu Beiyou replied respectfully: ”Great Master.”

Fan Qingshan waved his hand, gesturing for Lu Beiyou to come in.

As he walked forward, Lu Beiyou felt that the more he walked, the more relaxed he became.

Fan Qingshan walked into the room and sat at a wooden table. A candle flame was flickering non-stop.

”You seniors and juniors, you cleaned up your room during your disappearance. Speaking of which, you really envy us two old fellows.”

As he said till here, the corner of Fan Qingshan's mouth couldn't help but curl up into a smile. Lu Beiyou also couldn't help but laugh along, his heart filling up with the light of the candle.

”Oh, North Travelling, you've been brought up the mountain by Yuan Ge ever since you were young. I've always been very strict with you, whether it was my killing techniques or my punishing you. Do you hate this old man to the bone? ”

When Lu Beiyou heard Fan Qingshan's sigh, he shook his head and said softly, ”Great Master is doing this for my own good.

Fan Qingshan indicated for Lu Beiyou to sit down and gently rub his head, ”My good child, my good child.”

”In the eyes of outsiders, we, Bei Shan, may just be a small sect that isn't famous, but you also know about Bei Shan's true inheritance. At that time, you chose to escape down the mountain, so that fellow, me and Zhi Xian, won't blame you, because that really was too heavy for you. Now that you have returned to Bei Shan, your second master and I will no longer force you to do anything. As long as you are fine, Bei Shan will be at ease from then on. ”

Lu Beiyou just stood there quietly, not saying a word.

Fan Qingshan stood up while pressing against the table, and softly said: ”Sleep early, the bedding on top of the bed was driven out by Little Wu for several days. Erniu has kept it in the courtyard every day, waiting for you to come back.”

After saying that, he closed the door and walked out of the room. The room returned to silence, only leaving behind Lu Beiyou and the flickering candle flame.

After a long while, Lu Beiyou stood up, went to the side of the bed and caressed the bed, and stared blankly.

On the second day, before the sky brightened, Lu Beiyou walked out of his room, placed his bedding on the yard's rope rack, poured some water on the flowers and plants in the courtyard, then closed the courtyard door and headed in the direction of the Inverted Rainbow Pool.

Zhen Yuange, who was seated cross-legged heard the sound of approaching footsteps, and also slowly opened his eyes. When he saw that the person who had arrived was Lu Beiyou, he could not help but ask puzzledly: ”What's wrong, Beiyou? Come find me now? ”

Lu Beiyou chuckled, ”Big Senior, why didn't you accept the rouge?”

Zhen Yuange asked without hesitation: ”Then why can't you accept Xiao Wu?”

The two stared at each other, neither of them admitting defeat. After a while, they finally couldn't hold back their laughter anymore.

Lu Beiyou wiped the tears of laughter from the corner of his eyes and said softly, ”Big Senior, just leave the burden of Bei Shan to me from now on.”
