After being divorced, my identity as a poet was exposed

Under the sword mountain, the dark river is not only very dark, but also disorderly like a spider web.

Going upstream from the exit under the cloud valley, it was extremely narrow at the beginning, and could only accommodate a small boat.

Walking around the promised land, the inside suddenly brightened.

Just by the light of the torch, it can be seen that this place looks like a huge lake!
In all directions of this lake, there are countless caves.

The water in the cave merged into the lake, and then flowed out from the cave entrance.

The water flow is not turbulent, indicating that the drop is not large.

But in the face of so many dark rivers, no one knows which one leads to Wangqingtai.

Then you can only rely on luck.

Lu Xiaoyu, owner of Yun'an County, divided everyone into three teams.

Among them, Amu, Wu Wen, and Qiuchen formed a team of three.

This was obviously Lu Xiaoyu's intention. Amu wanted to refuse, but he still didn't say it.

After the three of them entered the huge lake, they chose a larger dark cave on the left. Amu rowed a boat and entered that dark cave.

This journey took more than ten days.

Although it took a long time, the walk was not too far, because Amu needed to leave marks on the branches he passed.

In the past three days, the three of them seemed to have a tacit understanding without saying a word.

On the fourth day, Wu Wen began to ask about Amu's past.

Amu did not answer, he chose silence.

It wasn't until the sixth day that Wu Wen asked again, and Amu would occasionally reply with a sentence or two, seeming to be absent-minded.

But is it really absent-minded?
of course not.

Amu rarely spoke on weekdays. Even if he did speak occasionally, he would mostly talk to his junior brother Wang Zhenghaoxuan, Li Chenan and other people he was familiar with.

He has an instinct for self-protection when facing strangers.

Just like when he was begging in Yujing City when he was a child, he was afraid that those people would snatch the broken bowl in his hand, and he was even more afraid that someone would snatch half of the hard, rotten steamed buns he had so hard to beg for!
He will not trust anyone easily, and he will always maintain a high degree of vigilance for people he does not know.

Even if he went to Mushan Dao, he had been with his uncles and junior brothers in Mushan Dao for more than ten years.

He lowered his guard against all the people in Mushan Knife, but that was based on familiarity with each other.

The kind of defense engraved in his bones prevents the door of his heart from being easily opened, which makes it difficult for outsiders to enter his heart.

He longs for sunshine and warmth.

So he puts a lot of trust in the people he knows.

For example, Junior Brother, such as Li Chenan, such as... Zhongli Ruoyu!
Rescued by the second master of Zhongli Mansion in the capital, Zhongli Ruoyu was actually only the sympathy of the little girl who gave him the first sunshine in this world.

At that moment, the sun shone into his heart.

It made him feel that his world finally had warmth, so he firmly remembered Zhongli Ruoyu, and even longed to be by Zhongli Ruoyu's side for the rest of his life——

He fantasizes about being able to marry Zhongli Ruoyu!
He thinks that is the greatest luck in his life!

Maybe some of his actions seemed too intimate, or maybe Zhongli Ruoyu only regarded him as a guard.

He was sent to Li Chen'an's side by Zhongli Ruoyu, he was depressed because of this, and he couldn't sleep at night because of it.

But gradually he also figured it out.

He and Zhongli Ruoyu are people from two worlds!
Miss Ruoyu is the phoenix on the sycamore tree, and she...is just a small ant under the tree.

The boy's first love dream was so shattered.

So more silent.

But he cherishes this rare friendship with Li Chenan and the others more and more.

Just like what he once said to Li Chenan, "As long as I'm still alive, you won't die!"

When I said this, it was just a promise.

Now, this sentence has become his guardian.

It's just that he never dreamed that his parents were really alive and appeared in front of him.

He was still nervous these days.

Although he already knew that this was really not a dream, he still didn't know how to get along with such strange parents.

For the parents in front of him, he didn't have a heart of defense, but his heart didn't open because of it.

Wu Wen was a little anxious.

Qiu Chen seemed a little calmer.

"Amu,"

Amu, who was rowing, was slightly startled, turned to look at Qiuchen, and said "um" in a low voice.

"As a father, I have thought about it carefully these days. First of all, it must be my father's fault."

"Back then... when you were still a baby, after they snatched you away, the news came that you were no longer alive..."

Qiuchen's voice was very deep, and Amu's hand holding the oar froze slightly.

"Your mother and I believed it to be true. Your mother returned to Tianshan Mountain heartbroken and never came down the mountain again."

"My father is at Bailu Academy and has never looked for you again."

"After learning the news that you are still alive a few days ago, your mother went down the mountain in the wind and snow, and your father also left White Deer Academy..."

"We were heading to Ningguo. We wanted to go to Ningguo to find you. On the way, we met Mr. Tu Er... Lu Xiaoyu's butler. He said that you and Xiaowu were returning to the garden."

"Your mother and I rushed to Guiyuan without stopping, but they said that you had left Guiyuan and headed for Xijianlou, so we rushed to Xijianlou again."

"I tell you this, of course, hoping to get your forgiveness... But my father also knows that this resentment is deep in your heart. I understand that you don't forgive me, but I also ask you to forgive your mother. !"

"Back when the news of your death came, your mother's hair turned white all night...you are the meat of her heart..."

Amu lowered his head slightly, he shook his oars again, and after a while he said in a low voice: "We can talk about these things after we go out."

He raised his head again, his eyes looked at Qiu Chen, then at Wu Wen, and his eyes fell on the dark river in the distance.

"Now I need to concentrate on remembering the path, and I need to concentrate just in case."

"Aunt Lu said that if the Zhongli Mansion is really a descendant of the royal family of the former Dali Empire, then they probably also know that they can enter the Wangqing Terrace through the waterway."

"Fan Lihua of the Five Poison Sect wants to ensure that nothing goes wrong. It's hard to say that there are masters from the Hidden Sect here..."

Amu pondered for three breaths and then said:
"Regardless of the past between us, Li Chen'an...he is my brother!"

"I once promised him that if I live, he will not die!"

"So don't distract me now, if he's all right... I'll have a nice chat with you guys after I get out."

This is the most Amu has said in so many days.

Qiu Chen was about to say something more, but was stopped by Wu Wen.

A smile appeared on Wu Wen's face, "You're right, there's a hidden danger here..."

Before she finished speaking, she suddenly turned her head and looked to the left.

The moment she turned her head, her eyes suddenly opened wide, and she pulled out the sword on her back with a sound of "Clang...!"

"careful!"

An arrow shot out from a dark river on the left!
Wu Wen did not strike at that arrow.

Because the speed of that arrow is not fast.

Also because of the faint light from the torch, she saw a small bamboo tube tied to the arrow.

She stretched out a hand and caught the arrow in her hand.

She took down the bamboo tube, and pulled out a piece of paper from it. On the paper was a piece of peach blossom petals.

The petals are tender and have lost only a little of their red color.

Below the petals are written four words:

"Danger!"

"Go back quickly!" (End of this chapter)
