During the dinner, I asked about the seniors in Taohuajian. Xu Shaolin said that he had already sent a letter back to Taohuajian and would attend the old lady’s birthday. Gu Qingyan joked: "Grandma is the only one who can make my parents care about me."

.I have long been forgotten.”

After saying that, he didn't forget to give himself a hug. Everyone laughed softly. After dinner in a relaxed atmosphere, they all left. Gu Qingyan took advantage of the breeze and left the front hall first.

There is a three-story attic in Qingquan Villa. The third floor can overlook the scenery in the distance. If you look carefully, there are dots of lights. Gu Qingyan is sitting at the fence, leaning on a column with her back and her feet on the platform.

, just sitting quietly.

Suddenly, she felt a familiar breath passing by. Gu Qingyan did not turn around, but asked quietly: "Why is third brother here?"

Baili Mo went to sit next to Gu Qingyan and looked into the distance: "The scenery here is still so good."

When they were children, they would come to Qingquan Villa. It used to be Han Yan's place for martial arts training and learning. As soon as they came here, it naturally became a place for them to play. Gu Qingyan especially liked the third floor. She said it was very high and could

Seeing far away, she might also be able to see the person she wants to see.

Gu Qingyan still missed her parents. She used to mention them occasionally, but then she got older and older, so she stopped mentioning them.

"You girl, how can I not know what you are thinking?" Baili Mo touched Gu Qingyan's head. Sometimes he admired Uncle Gu and the others. After a year of recuperation, Gu Qingyan suddenly suddenly

They asked to go to Shimen, and they agreed. After three years, Gu Qingyan came out of Shimen. When the two saw that the girl had grown up, they said that Shimen belonged to Gu Qingyan from then on. The two of them rolled up their sleeves and went around to enjoy the mountains and rivers.

, all year round, it’s New Year’s Eve or when Peach Blossom Stream comes back for year-end inventory, Gu Qingyan is left alone.

Gu Qingyan turned back to look at Baili Mo. Each of the three brothers understood her very well, but Xu Shaolin and Zong Yue always felt like brothers and fathers. Although they could give Gu Qingyan enough sense of security,

There were some things that Gu Qingyan couldn't tell them completely, but Baili Mo was different. She and Baili Mo had grown up arguing together, and their relationship was always more natural. Gu Qingyan pulled Baili Mo's sleeves,

Said: "Tell me, do my parents miss me too?"

Baili Mo smiled, this girl, no matter how old she is, still retains a bit of childishness. As long as she is not needed for something, she is like a child, still innocent: "Of course."

"I know that my mother has always longed for that kind of free and carefree life. She was trapped there for the first half of her life because of her identity. Now that she has removed her identity, how can Taohuajian keep her?" After a pause, Gu Qingyan

Suddenly smiled, "Besides, daddy dotes on her so much."

In Gu Qingyan's eyes, her mother always has a pure and pure original intention, and her father protects this original intention well. Gu Qingyan knows that they are a family, but they don't have to be together, as long as she

If it's good, your parents will be fine.

She and her mother are more like good friends than mother and daughter. Since she was a child, her mother has taught her a set of survival skills and principles, which she has memorized.

She will miss them, but she will not keep them, just like that day when she stood in front of her parents with her hair disheveled, her eyes full of determination: "I want to enter Shimen."

Gu Ning didn't seem to be surprised by her decision, and asked like a formality: "Why?"

Gu Qingyan smoothed her hair and said: "Whether it's father, mother, master, three brothers or Beiming, there will always be a moment when you are not by my side. If I can't protect myself, then I can only wait.

Die?"

She saw her weakness from that fire. Her parents and master were not around. Beiming pulled her and used his small body to lead her out of the sea of ​​​​fire. The guards tried their best to resist the invading night people, but she seemed to be a burden.

, she doesn’t want to be that kind of person.

Yunluan Changdiji looked at her daughter in front of her, held her in her arms and said: "Do you know that Shimen experience is not only about martial arts but also about mentality. Although you will get along well, in every trial, the winner will be born.

The loser will perish, but the bystanders must neither be sad nor happy."

Shimen is a place that is both sentimental and ruthless. Yes, as a shadow, you need to be able to cooperate tacitly but at the same time you must be ruthless and cold-blooded in order not to be disturbed.

Gu Qingyan nodded: "I'm not afraid."

Yun Luan smiled and touched Gu Qingyan's head: "Good boy, your parents did not misjudge you. Although we brought you into this world, you have to choose how you want to live. In the past, my mother had no right to choose.

, but now, you have."

Yun Luan looked at the little one in front of her. Although there was a faint reluctance in her heart, who didn't want a family to be together all the time, but they were not destined to get along like this. Some love does not necessarily have to be together to be reflected, "Mom and dad don't

They will interfere with all your choices, but you have to bear the consequences yourself. Your parents are your final destination. We will not abandon you or leave you, but you must learn to be alone. Because we will protect you from a distance.

You, everything you see will have our breath."

After that day, Gu Qingyan walked into the stone gate. She would meet with Gu Ning and the others four days a month, and also during the holidays. She also experienced trials and challenges in the stone gate, defeating her opponents one by one, and watching them try together.

Lian's partners fell behind one by one, and finally she appeared on the other side of the stone gate formation with injuries. She came out of the stone gate, her eyes still as firm as before, but the difference was that she learned to put away the innocence in her heart and use a cold face.

to the world.

That day, Gu Ning and Yun Luan picked up Gu Qingyan together. When they saw Gu Qingyan's figure appearing, they laughed, and Gu Qingyan also laughed. On that day, Gu Ning handed over the Shimen command ring to Gu Qingyan.

In hand, three days later, Gu Ning and Yun Luan left Peach Blossom Stream.

They had silently accompanied Gu Qingyan through all the difficult years. They believed that Gu Qingyan could handle the rest of the journey.

Baili Mo just sat quietly with Gu Qingyan. He was thinking that Gu Qingyan was actually no different from many girls, except that she was more free-spirited and casual than them. Gu Qingyan had too many facets. Among the elders,

The cuteness in front of her, the quirkiness in front of the three of them, the coldness in front of business, every one of them is the real her.

It's just that she has been worrying a lot since she was a child and doesn't take the initiative to talk to others, so they just stay with her quietly. Waiting for her to figure it out on her own, or if she really hasn't figured it out, then they can be useful.

"What are you thinking about, third brother?" Gu Qingyan asked when Baili Mo refused to answer her words.

Baili Mo smiled and said, "I'm wondering what kind of existence you are."

While talking, she looked at Gu Qingyan jokingly. Gu Qingyan always felt that his words were weird. When she saw his joking eyes again, she felt that she was being teased. She wanted to get up and plot against Baili Mo, but Baili Mo had already

He was prepared and escaped a disaster. This aroused Gu Qingyan's competitive spirit. She chased Baili Mo as if she was going to fight. Baili Mo got up and ran away, and Gu Qingyan chased after him.

There was a fight on the third floor of the attic. Baili Mo jumped downstairs, and Gu Qingyan jumped down without fear of anyone else. The two of them chased each other.

When they arrived at the backyard, Han Yan, Xu Shaolin, Zong Yue and Su Tanxue were sitting in the pavilion chatting. Xu Shaolin felt someone was there, glanced at Han Yan, and ignored them.

After a while, Su Tanxue heard the sound of a fight and wanted to see what was going on. Then she heard Zong Yue say: "Girl, An Xin, it's my careless girl and the third child who are fighting."

Su Tanxue was confused. She had never seen a girl fight with a man before. She was curious at the same time but suppressed at the same time. Han Yan was used to it. There was no one else in the backyard anyway, so she just let them do whatever they wanted.

Gu Qingyan was inferior to Baili Mo in terms of martial arts and energy. Now his son felt tired, so he stopped and walked to the pavilion. As he walked, he said angrily: "Brother, you don't want to help me either."

Although Zong Yue knew how to fight, Zong Yue didn't like fighting very much. Therefore, Gu Qingyan rarely asked Zong Yue for help. When she needed help, she only asked Xu Shaolin.

Xu Shaolin said: "Don't you have Beiming here?" Even so, as a ghost, Beiming couldn't take action against his master, so how could he help?

Gu Qingyan walked up to Xu Shaolin and was about to speak when Xu Shaolin stopped her: "You should also look like a girl."

After saying that, he didn't forget to pass a cup of tea to Gu Qingyan. Gu Qingyan took the tea and was speechless for a moment. She sat down and muttered: "It's a pity. My parents didn't want me to be a lady in the first place."

keep."

Baili Mo also came over and sat down at this time. He looked at Gu Qingyan proudly and then asked the other people: "What are you talking about here?"

Han Yan answered: "I plan to go to the city tomorrow. Although most of the things for the birthday have been purchased by the people below, I still have to go there myself for some."

Zong Yue said: "That's just right, let's go together. You asked us to come in advance, isn't it just to help?"

Han Yan said: "Does Han need to thank the three masters?"

Xu Shaolin waved his hand: "Goodbye, young village master, it's better to thank him separately, otherwise I'm afraid I'll be helping more than one person."

The few people just joked back and forth like this. It didn't matter what happened to the two girls. Gu Qingyan saw that Su Tanxue was just looking at them and laughing. Without saying anything, she quietly walked to Su Tanxue and said to her: "Tanxue."

Miss Snow, do you have any plans for tomorrow?"

When Su Tanxue saw Gu Qingyan talking to her, she replied: "Miss Qingyan, just ask me to Tanxue. Tomorrow the master of Hualin Village will bring clothes for grandma's birthday. I want to go over and have a look, and then I will paint with grandma."

I’ll paint later.”

After Su Tanxue said that, she wanted to invite Gu Qingyan to join her, but she was afraid that Gu Qingyan would not agree. Unexpectedly, Gu Qingyan said: "Although I can't draw, I heard that grandma mentioned Tanxue's paintings several times.

Can I take a look together? By the way, just call me Qing Yan."

At this moment, the two girls made an appointment for tomorrow. Su Tanxue also felt less restrained because of Gu Qingyan's proactive approach and asked, "But I heard people in the village call you Miss Fourth."

Gu Qingyan has several titles. Those close to her call her girl, her elders call her Qingyan or Yan'er, those around her call her master, others call her fourth girl, and one person just calls her

Her full name is Gu Qingyan, and that person is Han Yan.

"Qing Yan is the youngest among me, so others call her in order." Xu Shaolin explained.

Han Yan added next to her: "Tan Xue, you can just call her Gu Qingyan."

Gu Qingyan glanced at Han Yan coldly and said, "You guys are just talking about yourselves and joining in the fun. You are the only one alive who dares to call me by my full name."

Gu Qingyan gritted her teeth. If she could kill Han Yan, she would have done it long ago. Seeing that the night was getting darker, Gu Qingyan and Su Tanxue made an appointment to go to their grandma tomorrow and then went back to their houses. Several men made an appointment early tomorrow morning.

They all dispersed after entering the city.
