Mountains and rivers are waiting for you to return

Chapter 61 Duanding Mansion
She got off the carriage swiftly and walked a few steps forward to the open space.

Gu Jinheng's eyes dimmed.

Pei Nai looked up at the door in front of her that was familiar yet unfamiliar to her, feeling a little melancholy and bitter.

What is familiar is the feeling, but what is unfamiliar is its appearance after many renovations.

This used to be her home, but after taking the Guimo Gun today, this place has nothing to do with her anymore.

She was a little surprised that Gu Jinheng had already reached a height that ordinary people could not reach, so why was he still living in this original old house?

Logically speaking, he had many bad memories here during his childhood.
She was thinking.

Gu Jinheng's voice from behind interrupted her thoughts.

"Go in, the structure of the mansion hasn't changed much," he said.

Pei Nai tried to avoid talking to him and just nodded. Gu Jinheng gave a few instructions to the subordinates next to him, but she couldn't hear the content clearly.

The matter had nothing to do with her, so she walked inside under the guidance of the servants.

There were indeed not many changes in the mansion. The courtyard roads were the same as she remembered, the plants and trees were still in their original positions, and she even saw many familiar faces.

She turned her head to look at the pavilion in the distance, and when she turned back again, Gu Jinheng had already stood by her side without her knowing.

Pei Nai was shocked that even she couldn't sense Gu Jinheng's breath.

To what extent has his Huo Jiang Yin Gong been cultivated?

Pei Nai looked him over without hesitation.

Gu Jinheng asked, "What's wrong?"

Pei Nai was still a little uncomfortable with his constant initiation of conversation.

Pei Nai's eyes moved down to his waist, catching the dark blue color, and he made up a random excuse for himself, "This purse is still there? Don't you dislike it?"

Gu Jinheng frowned slightly, "When did I say I didn't like it?"

"I remember you never took it with you after I gave it to you."

Gu Jinheng lowered his head slightly, without explaining himself. He just paused for a moment before saying, "I like it very much."

If you like it, it will be gone in the future. Go buy it yourself.

Pei Nai muttered silently in his heart, and then brought their conversation back to the topic.

"Which courtyard is the Gui Mo Gun kept in? You don't need to accompany me, just ask a servant to take me there to get it."

She thought her words had made it clear that she did not want to go with him.

But Gu Jinheng seemed to pretend not to understand the deeper meaning of her words, "It has been put away. I have sent people to look for it. It will take some time."

Pei Nai looked at him suspiciously. Where did it take so long to find?
"Okay, during this time, I'll go see if there's anything you haven't taken away, and pack it up and take it back this time." Pei Nai said this as a greeting to Gu Jinheng.

She felt that it was only natural to take back what belonged to her, but Gu Jinheng did not nod.

"Something happened at the banquet, and you probably didn't eat well. When you came, I asked the east chef to prepare some dishes that you used to eat. They will be ready soon." Gu Jinheng said from the side.

Pei Nai tilted his head to look at his left hand, which had been bandaged and covered with medicine, but blood was still seeping through the cloth.

"I didn't agree to stay for dinner." She looked away.

Gu Jinheng didn't say anything for a long time, probably because he didn't want her to take the things away, but he couldn't find any other reason to let her stay.

"Is there anything you want to do?" he asked.

Pei Nai replied coldly: "There's nothing I want to do with you."

She said it heartlessly, but she didn't notice that at this moment Gu Jinheng was just like an ordinary person. Pain flashed in his eyes, and every time he looked at her, he looked away.

Pei Nai was very open-minded. Since Gu Jinheng didn't want her to take the things away, that was fine.

Anyway, apart from the Guimo Spear, there was nothing else in this mansion that made her worry.

This time, she did not ask for Gu Jinheng's opinion. There was a fork in the road, so she walked towards the back garden, and Gu Jinheng followed silently.

The two of them were silent all the way.

The servants deliberately avoided this area, and there was silence all around.

Gu Jinheng's footsteps were almost silent, and Pei Nai could only hear the sound of her own footsteps, but she knew that Gu Jinheng was right behind her.

She sat down on a rock by the pond, looking down at the crystal clear water and the colorful koi swimming back and forth.

Gu Jinheng didn't say anything, and she would rather pretend that this person didn't exist.

He bent down, picked up a few small stones, and threw them far away. The pebbles hit the ground and bounced several times on the surface of the pool, pushing away the waves and creating ripples.

The water ripples, and with the help of the sunlight, it is sparkling and boundless.

Pei Nai vaguely remembered that a long time ago, she had taught Gu Jinheng how to skip stones on the water here.

How could she believe that there were people in this world who had never done anything that could please the body and mind since childhood, and who just stayed in their own little world. Even something as common as skipping stones on the water was something she had never heard of before.

I really don’t know if he had ever done anything to make himself happy before he met her?
"Does it hurt?" Gu Jinheng asked suddenly.

Pei Nai heard the voice and turned around in confusion, "What?"

"That knife of Tuoba Huo." Gu Jinheng's gaze moved away from her and fell on the water.

Pei Nai was slightly startled, and as she concentrated, Tang Mingzhi's body told her that the air pressure around her had become extremely weak.

She sneered and turned her head back, "It's not that wound that hurts."

Gu Jinheng said nothing more.

After a while, the housekeeper sent someone over to inform Gu Jinheng that the meal was ready and he could go and eat.

After the servant finished speaking, he stood aside.

"The food is ready. It would be a shame to waste it." Gu Jinheng looked at her, waiting for her reaction.

She didn't eat much at noon, so she was a little hungry. She didn't refuse and jumped down from the rock. "Lead the way."

Gu Jinheng was stunned for a moment, as he didn't expect that she treated him as a guest.

He knew in his heart that Pei Nai still remembered the way and was just saying that on purpose.

He seemed a little helpless, but still walked obediently in front of Pei Nai.

The table was filled with delicious food, and Gu Jinheng pulled out the chair where she used to sit.

Pei Nai took a look and sat down in another seat.

Gu Jinheng's gaze became even darker.

He pushed the wooden chair back and sat next to Pei Nai.

Pei Nai looked at the various dishes in front of him and couldn't help but smile.

"I remember you would like these dishes."

There was a hint of uneasiness in Gu Jinheng's eyes, but it was so faint that it was almost imperceptible.

Pei Nai picked up the chopsticks and said without looking at him, "I used to ask the kitchen to make these dishes, not because I like them, but because half of them are what you like, and the other half can be paired with these meat and vegetables to nourish Yin and Qi, which will help you practice Huo Jiang Yin Gong."

The air around them was stagnant for a moment.

Pei Nai didn't bother to be polite with him and just started eating the food.

Gu Jinheng did not make any other movement for a long time.
