Nie Wushuang followed Cheng Lijun through the backyard as usual, opened the courtyard door, and walked toward the back mountain along the bluestone path, just like the original person often did before.

Cheng Lijun is three years older than her original self.

When the original person was very young, he often followed her.

There is a secret base in the back mountain, a secret base that only two people know about. Under a cliff, there is a cave in the depression.

Now, the two of them are here.

There are some vines and weeds hanging outside the cave. Behind the vines and weeds is a mountain wall. After lifting the vines and weeds, you can only see the mountain wall. Most people may turn around, but when you turn around the mountain wall, there is a path. Passage, climb up this passage through the natural itinerary, and you can reach the platform above.

This platform is more than ten feet above the ground and is a steep rock.

You can't see the situation above when you stand below, and no one will jump up if you have nothing to do. And there are huge rocks sticking out from the platform to block the situation, so you can't see the situation clearly when looking down from the top of the mountain.

When he was seven years old, the original person felt aggrieved for some reason and came here crying, and accidentally discovered this place.

At that time, Cheng Lijun chased him.

As a result, this place became a secret base for the two of them. No matter who they were, they would come here if they had any troubles or grievances, and the other person would be inseparable.

In Nie Wushuang's view, Cheng Lijun was unwilling to marry Jiang Xunyun as a concubine. Perhaps her original identity was also one of the reasons?

There is a friendship between two people. This friendship is relatively complex and difficult to classify in a single way. It is difficult to describe it as sister and brother, lovers, relatives, and lovers.

In short, Nie Wushuang came here with Cheng Lijun, just like his original self.

There are tables, chairs and benches on the stone platform. Sitting here, you can look down the mountain and have a panoramic view of Changlin County. Of course, the distance is far away. The figures in the city and outside are just small black dots, densely packed like ants. The Sword Sect's headquarters located halfway up the mountain outside the city is right in front of you.

Nie Wushuang stood on the edge of the platform and looked down the mountain.

If he is willing and uses a trace of spiritual thought, Changlin County will expand in front of his eyes, and everything will be visible, even a mouse crossing the street can be seen clearly.

But, there is no need for this!

He actually saw Cheng Nanpeng in the backyard. The cheap master was lying on the lounge chair again. There was a wine pot and wine cup on the table beside him. However, he did not use the wine cup. Instead, he took the wine pot and put it directly into his mouth. He drank wine and sighed from time to time, looking restless.

"Junior brother, how about we leave here?"

Cheng Lijun's voice came from behind.

Nie Wushuang turned around and saw Cheng Lijun sitting on the chair with a dazed expression.

She, who had always been so heroic, showed a hint of vulnerability at this moment. When Nie Wushuang turned around and their eyes met, she lowered her head.

A sigh.

leave here?

For Nie Wushuang, it didn't matter whether he stayed or left. If Cheng Lijun really wanted to take him away, he would choose to follow.

but……

He didn't think Cheng Lijun would do this!

For herself, she abandoned the Changlin Sword Sect, gave up her father, and walked away. From the original point of view, she was not such a person.

Therefore, Nie Wushuang said nothing and just looked at her, but Cheng Lijun lowered her head and let out a long sigh.

"Junior brother, do you know who intercepted and killed us today?"

she asked softly.

Nie Wushuang shook his head.

In fact, before Nie Wushuang could shake his head, Cheng Lijun had already continued talking.

"The person who came to intercept us today is the young master of the Cui family in the county. He has been to Changlin County several times before and was a guest of various families. Everyone flattered him and tried to please him..."

After a moment's pause, she gritted her teeth.

"Why?"

"When did our Changlin Sword Sect offend the Cui family? I have no memory at all. Why did he attack us?"

Shaking her head, Cheng Lijun frowned.

"I really can't understand!"

reason?

Does a superior need any reason to kill a subordinate?

In the second world, such things are not uncommon. The rich, powerful and powerful take what they want from the weak. What they want to do depends on their mood. Whether it is thunder or rain, the people below can only accept it and resist. Don't even think about it.

It seems that Cheng Lijun has not experienced anything before she sighs like this.

Of course, Nie Wushuang had no intention of changing the other party's perception, so he remained silent. At this time, tears fell from Cheng Lijun's face.

"Several fellow apprentices died in the mountains. It was getting late and there was no way to collect the bodies. We were supposed to go to the mountains tomorrow to collect the bones, but..."

Cheng Lijun choked up.

There are many scavengers in the mountains. After one night, the corpses of those brothers may only be white bones, just like the master and servant of the Cui family.

"It was obviously the Cui family who attacked us. Now, we don't know who killed the Cui family. However, if the Cui family knew about it, they would only blame us!"

Cheng Lijun stood up with an angry look on her face.

"Except for the three of us and Master, no one knows about this..."

Nie Wushuang said something.

Cheng Lijun smiled bitterly and shook her head.

"Junior brother, you are too naive!"

"The Cui family is powerful and powerful, and the person who died was a direct descendant of the Cui family. Someone will definitely come to search for it, and most likely they will invite a mage to summon the soul. It cannot be hidden..."

"What's more..."

At this point, she hesitated to speak.

"Third Senior Brother?"

Nie Wushuang spoke out what was in Cheng Lijun's mind.

Lu Guang escaped from the battlefield. With such a mentality, he certainly couldn't keep a secret. In order to protect himself, he might take the initiative to surrender to the Cui family and tell them about this.

He left Changlin Sword Sect in the afternoon, saying that he had to go home because of something at home.

Now it seems that he may have left Changlin County and walked towards the county city. The Lu family also has some power in Changlin County and has connections with the Cui family.

Of course, it is like a lackey.

Alas!

Cheng Lijun sighed.

"It doesn't matter. At most, I agree to marry Jiang Xunyun. With the support of the Jiang family of the Sword Sect, the Cui family can't do anything to our sword sect."

"It's just..."

She stared at Nie Wushuang and said in a deep voice.

"Little Junior Brother, I'm not by your side, so don't be lazy anymore. You should not only practice sword skills well, but also temper your body. Now, you are only at the stage of grinding skin, which is a bit slow..."

"When you were young, you said you would protect Senior Sister. If you don't practice well, how can you have the strength to protect Senior Sister?"

Cheng Lijun smiled silently, and her smile was very bright, but there was inevitably a sad atmosphere in it.

"Senior Sister, are you going to agree to that marriage?"

It didn't seem good to say nothing, so Nie Wushuang asked.

"I don't know!"

Cheng Lijun smiled bitterly and shook her head.

"Wait for a while, if..."

After that, she shook her head again.
