The original few minutes had taken Zi Feng nearly half an hour to walk to the familiar courtyard. When he raised his head and saw Elder Sun sitting in the courtyard and fiddling with the herbs, Zi Feng suddenly felt an indescribable sadness. It was this old man in front of him who had spent the entire night trying to think of a way to remove the gray seal when he was at his lowest. Now that she saw him again, she had an indescribable feeling in her heart. If not for the existence of the sunset, Zi Feng would have been able to stay close to the old man. However, because of the existence of the sunset, Zi Feng had no other choice.
After a long while, Elder Sun who was playing with the herbs raised his head and saw Zi Feng standing at the entrance. He smiled and said, ”Come in! It's been so long and you're still standing outside the door. ” As he spoke, he continued to play with the herbs in his hand. Seeing Elder Sun's indifferent attitude, Zi Feng smiled and walked up, preparing to help Elder Sun dry the herbs. However, Elder Sun leaned forward with his back facing Zi Feng and said, ”Let's go see her!” She has missed you a lot these past few years. ” With that, he turned and walked toward the entrance of the courtyard.
Seeing Old Sun's leaving figure, Zi Feng helplessly shook his head. He often sighed, turned around, and walked into the house.
In the inner room, the morning clouds seemed to have sensed someone approaching and couldn't help but come out.
As she looked at that familiar purple hair, Xiao Xia was momentarily stunned. She felt an indescribable feeling in her heart. The person who had made her dream all of a sudden appeared in front of her. There was an indescribable joy, an indescribable happiness. It made Xiao Xia momentarily freeze.
Seeing that her face was still the same as before, Zi Feng was also somewhat shocked. After not seeing her for a few years, she had become even more delicate and pretty. Her figure was still perfect, her face was still as white as ever, her eyes were still bright, her hair was still so fragrant, and she looked completely unblemished. Compared to the purple-clothed young girl, she had an extra bit of gentleness. If Zi Feng said he wasn't moved, then even Zi Feng wouldn't believe it. However, the cruelty of reality did not allow Zi Feng to have any thoughts. Not for any other reason, just for the sake of the purple-clothed girl, Zi Feng, who had followed him for life and death, Zi Feng would not allow him to do such a thing.
After recovering from his shock, Zi Feng said to Xiao Xia, ”Let's go out for a walk!” Hearing this, Xiao Xia nodded her head and suggested, ”Let's go to the Frost Jade Water Pool!”
The two of them walked out of the courtyard gate, one in front of the other. As they walked along the path of the open field, the two of them felt an indescribable sense of satisfaction, as if they were a couple who had just fallen in love for the first time.
Not long after, they walked to the nearby Frost Jade Pool. Seeing that the water was still crystal clear, Zi Feng couldn't help but recall the scene of him washing medicinal herbs together with Xiao Xia in his mind. The first time, he had been so flustered that he had either fallen into the water or washed himself clean. However, he still remembered how Xiao Xia had taught him how to clean the mud on the medicinal plant.
Seeing this familiar yet warm scene, Zi Feng had an indescribable feeling. He didn't want to love, but he was loved. After a moment of silence, Zi Feng recovered and asked, ”How have you been these past few years?” ”Yes, that's fine.” After that, there was a period of silence. The two of them quietly stared at the calm surface of the water.
After a long while, Zi Feng broke the silence and said, ”I'm here to take away the Flood Dragon this time. I'll leave after a while.” Upon hearing the word ”walk”, Xiao Xia's body visibly trembled. However, she quickly added, ”Right, boys should go out for a walk. It's not good for us to stay in the same place.” As he spoke, his voice became deeper, and he began to sob.
Seeing Xiao Xia like this, Zi Feng's heart couldn't help but ache. However, he gritted his teeth and said, ”Sorry, I still have to go.” Hearing Zi Feng's firm words, a tear silently fell from Xiao Xia's eyes. That handsome body trembled a little. His chest rose and fell unknowingly. It was difficult for him to even breathe. She didn't expect him to be so heartless, heartless to the point that he didn't even try to keep her alive.
However, after a long while, Xiao Xia, who was in a stable mood, mustered up the courage to ask, ”When are you coming back?” Hearing Xiao Xia's question, Zi Feng's fragile heart couldn't help but break. How could he bear to hurt this girl in front of him? But in the end, Zi Feng took a deep breath and said, ”I'm afraid we will never come again.” With that, he turned and left. Because Zi Feng was afraid, afraid to see the tears of the sunset, afraid to hurt himself again. Thus, Zi Feng could only leave like this.
