The two of them walked through several corridors and saw a man standing at the bottom of the corridor with his back to them.

That back is so familiar.

The man heard footsteps and turned around. It was Jiang Xingzhi!
"I'll leave the person to you!" Shangguan Hanqing said with a smile, then looked at Liuyun meaningfully and walked back!
"You're looking for me?" Liuyun asked, "Why don't you talk about it here? Why do you have to come all the way here?"

"No, no!" He shook his head, acting like a scholar: "Come with me!"

"Okay! I just happen to have something I want to ask you to help me with!"

"There's no need to be so polite between us! We're friends for life!"

"That's right!" She chuckled to herself, "When you went to attend the Ten Thousand Immortals' Forum, I heard from the maid that you boasted that you would be back in three months at most. How come you were gone for half a year?"

"So that's what happened!" He also laughed dumbly: "At first they said two or three months, which was a time calculated based on the failure pattern. Who knew that good luck would come to Yueyang Gate!"

"There is an unwritten rule at Yueyang Gate,"

"Didn't you say you would be back in a month before you left home? How come you were gone for half a year? Once you enter the immortal gate, you must walk step by step from where you set foot to Yueyang Mountain. This is considered pious! This Qingtanhui will be held in Guiyuan Cave, and Yueyang Mountain has given me eight months. Do you think I am fast?"

“It’s really fast!”

Yueyang Mountain actually has such a rule? I wonder if other immortal sects have any strange rules.
"You're asking so many details because you plan to attend the Ten Thousand Immortals Forum four years from now?"

"Right on my mind!"

"The five major immortal sects take turns to host the Ten Thousand Immortals Forum. The rules are changed every time, but they are basically the same. If you want to participate, I will let you enter the finals directly!"

"Ah?" Liu Yun opened his mouth in disbelief: "Is it possible?"

"You don't understand! The registration and preliminary selection for the Qingtan Club and other trivial matters are all handled by the four major families. No! From now on it will be the three major families!" He talked eloquently.

"Most clan members like us just go there for fun, paying for a spot in the finals, and we're eliminated in one game!"

"Pay to get beaten?" Liuyun said.

"Look at you, how can you not chat?"

"So you also made it to the finals in this way?"

"Of course not, I fought my way up layer by layer! Do you think the immortal sects are all vegetarians? They also turn a blind eye and allow us to spend money for fun, but those who are truly powerful will not let us go! Therefore, registration for the Qingtanhui is free!"

"Then why did you let me take a shortcut?"

"Because based on your ability, you will definitely make it to the finals. We are just letting you conserve your strength in the early stages!"

“But I still have to start from the decision level.”

"Why?"

“I need this kind of training!”

"Alright! I respect your decision! I'll take care of all matters concerning the forum for you, all you have to do is participate in the competition!"

The two talked as they walked, and in the meantime they had arrived at the corridor of Ruiyunzhai. As expected, it was Jiang Bai who wanted to see her.

Jiang Xingzhi stopped, frowned slightly and sighed softly, his eyes fixed on the door in front of him, and he did not move forward.

"Does he have something to say to me?" Liuyun said.

"Well! He asked me to bring you here so I won't go over."

"Good! Some things are better to be made clear than to be vague!"

From the time he expressed his feelings on paper to the time he closed the door and did not see her, Liuyun was troubled and uneasy for many days because of this unclear relationship.

But she has always respected his wishes and never appeared in front of him easily. Now that he has invited her today, he must have thought it through!
The two maids, Fudong and Lianqiu, were standing quietly in front of the bed in the corridor, waiting. When they saw Liuyun coming over, they greeted him and then bowed towards the window beside them before retreating.

Liuyun understood that today's meeting was not face to face. Jiang Bai still didn't want to see her, but they talked through the window.

She slowly walked to the window. The window in front of her was only slightly open, and the color of the soft smoke screen was hazy and crisp.

Since he still doesn't want to meet her, Liuyun will naturally not rush to spy on him.

In the remaining gap, she caught a glimpse of a pale hand with distinct joints, the palm of which was gently holding the breeze. It was obvious that he had just sat here. The necklace at the end of the flute was still shaking.

Just like Jiang Bai, he saw a faint pink color standing in front of the bed through the gap between his fingers. It must be her arrival.

"Do you have something to say to me?" Liuyun said softly.

"Hmm!" His voice was cold and indifferent, revealing endless distance.

"I'm right here, just say it!"

"I was seriously ill, and I was saved by you at the risk of your life. I haven't thanked you yet, but today I would like to express my sincere gratitude to you!"

"You have saved me before, so this is what I should do!" Liuyun paused, as if he had made up his mind: "You called me here just for this?"

"I heard that my second brother told you some nonsense. Those were all his own random suspicions. Don't take them to heart! Today's matter has come to an end, Miss Ye."

"What a mess. Random suspicions." Liuyun stared at the green breeze and murmured.

Jiang Bai's thoughts on what he wanted to say were disturbed by her whispers. He couldn't help but hold Qing Feng tightly, and blue veins popped up on the back of his hand.

"On the day Jiang Mubai left Guershan, why did you do that?"

"I'm sorry!" He interrupted Liuyun hastily, as if afraid that she would bring up the past: "It was Jiang Bai and Meng Lang who were ignorant of the limits and treated Miss Ye lightly! I hope Miss Ye will forgive me!"

"If so, how do you explain the hidden words on the paper?"

Liuyun suppressed the loss in her heart and stopped looking into the window. She turned around and looked at Jiang Xinting not far away. She already knew what Jiang Bai meant by this matter.

"Words?" He was a little puzzled, and suddenly chuckled: "I actually gave it to Miss Ye! It's my fault! I originally wrote it to my cousin! I was careless and gave it to Miss Ye by mistake! Please return it to Miss Ye!"

"Of course it should be so!"

She took out the stack of papers from her pocket and stuffed them through the gap under the window.

As for Jiang Bai, ever since Liuyun knew his feelings, she has thought that as long as Jiang Bai said it himself, she would be willing to try to accept his feelings.

Now, she is also glad that she has remained rational at all times and has not fallen into unknown emotions prematurely.

So at this moment, she could withdraw calmly.

At this time, Jiang Bai, who was inside the window, was already heartbroken. He tried hard to suppress his emotions, but how could he suppress the suffocating pain so easily!

Then an envelope was stuffed in. Jiang Bai knew that before he exploded, he asked someone to send the sword and the envelope to the Ye family.

Soon afterwards, he was struck by an insect disease, became increasingly drowsy, and gradually lost consciousness.

"There's a picture of me on it, but there's also the words you wrote to your cousin. It seems that Master Jiang was really careless! Return this letter, and we'll save each other, and that's it..."

She could never say the word "even". The past between them could not be evened at all. But it was over!

This relationship that just started to sprout but ended in vain has completely fallen into a dormant state!

Well, for Liuyun, she felt relieved that she had finally made the matter clear.

"I'm leaving, Young Master Jiang! Goodbye!"

Without looking back, she went back to the front hall the same way she had come.

Jiang Bai was still sitting in front of the bed stupidly. After saying "goodbye", the figure disappeared from his sight.

He destroyed this relationship with his own hands. You can suppress your ardent love deep in your heart and hide it in the deepest part with indifference.

A strong feeling of nausea came over him again, and he quickly pulled the brazier beside him and started vomiting.

Groups of larvae of silkworms came out of his mouth. These hair-thin insects twisted their bodies on the charcoal, but in a flash, they were burned to ashes.

He rinsed his mouth and licked the inside of his lips with the tip of his tongue. It was still not smooth there, and there were dozens of worms wriggling in his mouth.

"Oh!" He sneered miserably. Jiang Bai was like a stink bug in the mud. How could he be worthy of her?
