Happy Days: Since the Beginning of the Night

Chapter 57
"Brother, do you really feel relieved to leave it to Nephew Han?" Li Qingshan was restless holding the white chess and hesitating.

"Above the throne and under the sky, it's useless for you to go." Yan Se dropped a white piece on the chessboard.

"The headmaster of the temple sent a letter, telling us to kill Wei Guangming in Chang'an no matter what. He has sent people to the border, as long as we agree, he can come to help." Li Qingshan took out the letter and handed it to Yan Se.

"Oh, the wolf is ambitious, it seems that the senior brother has caused a lot of trouble to some people in Xiling this time!" Yan Se looked at the letter and chuckled, then casually put it aside.

"He came back this time because of the incident 14 years ago." Li Qingshan reminded with a serious expression.

"Son of Pluto..."

"I understand how senior brother is. If I could persuade him, such a thing would not have happened back then." Yan Se seemed to have thought of something, and shook his head.

"Then what is Martial Nephew Han going to do?" Li Qingshan asked anxiously.

"Ye'er told me that if he can't be soft, he will come hard." Yan Se replied calmly.

"what!?"

'boo'

Ripples appeared in the lake.

The bait enters the water and pulls the fishing line to sink to the bottom of the lake.

Han Ye sat by the Yanming Lake, crossed his legs, and hummed a little tune.

"I can't help but turn into a stubborn fish ~ Swim to the end alone against the ocean current ~"

He also had an empty fishing rod, unbaited, by his hand.

A white-haired old man slowly walked out of the tree-lined path and came to the lake with light steps. He looked at the young man who was fishing by the lake.

The young man was bathed in the sun, and the surroundings were shimmering, making him look like a sparkling gem.

The old man sat beside Han Ye on his own.

Quietly staring at him.

half an hour.

"I can't help but turn into a stubborn fish ~ Swim to the end alone against the ocean current ~"

"I can't help but turn into a stubborn fish ~ Swim to the end alone against the ocean current ~"

"Can't bear it..."

"Do you only know this sentence?" the old man asked gently.

Han Ye glanced at him.

"I still have more, but it will only do this if it can't hold some fish." Han Ye replied with a smile, and raised his hand suddenly, a plump mandarin fish flew out of the water and landed in a bucket beside it.

"Together?" Han Ye picked up the fishing rod beside him and handed it to the old man.

The old man looked at Han Ye with infinite curiosity in his eyes, and he raised his hand to take it with a smile on his face.

"Just hook up the bait like this and throw it out, yes, it's fine." Han Ye praised the white-haired old man as he learned how to fish like him.

"Do you like fishing?" asked the old man.

Han Ye shook his head.

"Then you like to eat fish?"

Han Ye continued to shake his head.

The white-haired old man was silent.

"It's spring now, and the salmon are plump. If you don't catch them and let them breed, the ecology of this lake will be messed up." Han Ye pointed to the vast Yanming Lake, where several egrets Fly over the water.

The white-haired old man looked in the direction of Han Ye's finger and lowered his head in thought.

"So you fish to maintain the balance in the lake?" the old man asked again.

"No, I just want to keep me alive, eat fish, and give me strength to do other things."

at the same time.

wilderness.

The master was just putting the roasted peony fish into his mouth, when he just took a bite, he suddenly froze.

"Eating fish... is it for doing other things?" The master looked up at the sky.

The old man looked at Han Ye peacefully. At this moment, Han Ye seemed to have turned into a shining star in his eyes, so dazzling and bright.

"I didn't expect your cultivation to be so high." The old man said with a sigh.

Han Ye smiled and said nothing.

"Do you know the difference between man and beast?" asked the old man.

"It doesn't matter. I'm a human, but my friends sometimes call me a beast." Han Ye turned his head to look at the old man, showing a row of small white teeth.

"···"

"I want to take you in as an apprentice."

National Teacher's Office.

'boom! '

Yan Se pressed the black chess piece between the wooden grids with one finger, and cracks overflowed immediately.

"This old guy came to Tang to poach me?"

Han Ye shook the fishing rod, and the fish at the bottom of the lake felt the vibration and swam away quickly.

"But I already have a master, uncle."

The white-haired old man was a little stunned when he heard Han Ye addressing him. After thinking about it for a while, he seemed relieved.

"Your master is Junior Brother Yan Se?"

"He can't teach you."

Yan Se angrily jumped off the chair and rushed out the door.

"Hey, my temper!"

The white-haired old man looked expectantly at Han Ye.

"Do you believe in chance? Many years ago, I saw the shadow of night falling on this city."

"Then I saw a person who was born knowing it in Chang'an City. I thought it was wrong, because there shouldn't be people born knowing it in this world."

"My opportunity for him begins here, and that is to kill him."

"Now I see you again."

"You, full of the brilliance of Haori, are my new opportunity."

Han Ye nodded upon hearing this.

"Then do you know why I can't catch fish?"

Han Ye casually grabbed a handful of bait and sprinkled it into the lake.

Countless swimming fish at the bottom of the lake scramble to gather at the location where the bait falls.

The white-haired old man looked at the bottom of the lake suspiciously. There were whitebait, catfish, carp, and shrimps and crabs entrenched there, but there was no mandarin fish that Han Ye wanted to eat just now.

"The bait I cast was eaten by some miscellaneous fish."

"But it is undeniable that because of the movement of the miscellaneous fish, my target was ticked."

The old man looked at the old mandarin fish that were about to move beside the school of fish.

"But if these miscellaneous fish continue to jump, they won't be beautiful."

Han Ye's rod shook, and the school of fish dispersed. A huge mandarin fish swam over and grabbed the bait with one bite.

"This is my chance."

Han Ye's voice at this time seemed to contain two rhythms, one from the physical body, and the other from this ethereal world.

The old man stared blankly at Han Ye's side face, as if the time and space around him suddenly stopped for a moment, and a face composed of divine brilliance overlapped Han Ye's face and stared at him.

Han Ye raised his hand, and the black mandarin fish leaped out of the water, curled up in the air, and scattered water droplets landed on the old man's bewildered face.

The old man woke up from the absence just now.

"Brother Guangming, stay safe."

An immature but old-fashioned child's voice sounded behind Wei Guangming.

He looked back and saw a little boy in a Taoist robe looking at him with a smile.

"Yan Se?" Wei Guangming said in disbelief.

"it's me."

Yan Se sat between the two of them, and the figures of the three were reflected in the lake, like a grandfather and grandson.

"I don't understand." Wei Guangming's tone changed from gentle to respectful at this moment. He glanced at Yan Se, who had turned into a child, and then at Han Ye.

"What don't you understand?" Han Ye asked.

"What is that darkness? What is Pluto?" Wei Guangming questioned the world in his eyes for the first time.

Han Ye reached out and placed Wei Guangming's hand in the sunlight, moving slowly, the shadows gradually covered Wei Guangming's eyes.

"Uncle, look."

"It was originally black."
