Chapter 7 Different Paths

Pushing open the door and taking a look at the empty room, Liu Yu felt inexplicably complicated, sighed, and sat down at the table silently.

This sitting is a whole day.

The sky was getting darker, and the last rays of the setting sun gradually dissipated, so Wu Chi dragged his exhausted body back to the house.

"who?"

The moment he stepped into the room, Wu Chi felt something strange and asked coldly.

"it's me."

At the same time Liu Yu's voice sounded, Wu Chi's tense nerves relaxed, and he said with a smile: "Senior brother, you scared me! Why did you come to my room suddenly, and didn't say anything in advance."

"If you don't do anything wrong, why are you afraid of ghosts knocking on the door? Did you do something bad behind my back?" With a cold snort, Liu Yu scolded in dissatisfaction.

"No, I've always been the most honest." With his head shaking like a rattle, Wu Chi said awkwardly, "Brother, I'll pour you tea."

Reaching out to stop Wu Chi, Liu Yu said flatly, "Okay, don't be too busy, little junior brother, let's go back tomorrow morning."

The hand that was grabbing the teapot froze slightly, and Wu Chi asked in confusion, "Why? Brother, didn't we agree that we should wait until Zhuang Zhu's burial before going back?"

"Things have changed. Sword Shadow Villa is now in danger. We can't intervene. It's better to leave this place as soon as possible." Shaking his head, Liu Yu explained, "Pack up your things now. I'll go to Miss Zhou later. Farewell."

"Wait a minute!"

Seeing Liu Yu getting up to leave, Wu Chi quickly stopped him and said, "Brother, this is not good, is it? Anyway, it's only a few days away, why don't we leave after Zhuang Zhu's burial."

"Oh?" Frowning, Liu Yu turned around and stared at Wu Chi and asked, "This is not like what you said. Junior brother, tell me, why don't you want to leave?"

"I don't want to leave." Wu Chi denied hastily, "I just think that since everyone is here, I should do my best. Anyway, it's only a matter of a few days, so it's not too short of time, right?"

"boom!"

A slap was slapped on the table, and the shaking teacup jumped up. Liu Yu's face showed a hint of anger, "Bastard boy, haven't you told me the truth until now?"

"I...I didn't!"

"You still dare to quibble, tell me, where did you go today?" Staring at Wu Chi, Liu Yu asked bluntly.

After all, Wu Chi was not stupid. Hearing this, he finally realized that he couldn't hide it. He touched his nose resentfully, and asked cautiously, "Brother, do you know everything?"

"You are close to Miss Zhou's family, and you even go to practice swords together every day. This matter is now almost known to everyone. Who else do you want to hide from?"

".."

Wu Chi's expression finally changed, "Brother, is what you said true?"

"Luo Kun has made rumors that he is going to take your life. Do you think it's true or not?" Looking at the little junior with a complicated mood, Liu Yu asked angrily.

"..."

Patting Wu Chi on the shoulder, Liu Yu said softly, "Little brother, you shouldn't get so close to her! We have no right to get involved in this muddy water. Listen to what my brother said, and leave Jianying with me tomorrow morning." Let's go to the villa."

"Senior brother, I..." At this moment, Wu Chi's heart was full of mixed emotions, his voice was a little rough, and he didn't say anything more after speaking halfway through.

"Let's go, junior brother, that's not the way we should go."

 … .

"Miss, go back, he won't come."

The first ray of morning sun fell and shone on Zhou Boyan's body, looking a little cold. Biting his lips tightly, Zhou Boyan didn't say anything, but felt an inexplicable loss in his heart.

At this time in the past, Wu Chi had already begun to practice breathing.

I don't know how long it took before Zhou Boyan asked softly, "Uncle Shui, who else can I trust now?"

"The master has passed away, and the current Sword Shadow Villa is nothing but a form, and everyone in the world is interested in it. The only thing we can trust now is ourselves." Sighing, the middle-aged man said slowly.

These days Wu Chi accompanied Zhou Boyan to practice swords, he was naturally clear about it. Although he never believed that Wu Chi could reverse the sword intent, the existence of Wu Chi would undoubtedly give Zhou Boyan some hope. At worst, it could make her happier. But now that the situation is stronger than others, when it really comes time to confront Luo Kun, what can a mere kid who has not even stepped into the Mortal Transformation Realm do?

"Jianying Villa is in danger, he wants to leave, I don't blame him, but why doesn't he even dare to say goodbye to me?" Zhou Boyan closed his eyes slightly and whispered to himself as the fingers holding the hem of his clothes turned pale due to the force.

He opened his mouth, but the middle-aged man didn't say anything after all.

Maybe Zhou Boyan didn't even think of who would answer her.

 ….

The carriage stopped at the gate of Jianying Villa, just like when it came.

"Little brother, get in the car."

Glancing at Wu Chi who was still standing at the door, Liu Yu said in a somewhat complicated manner.

If possible, he is not willing to let Wu Chi leave at this time. Unfortunately, with his strength, or the strength of Tie Jianmen, staying here can only be a death in vain, and may even implicate the sect. .

"Brother, am I wrong?" Wu Chi asked in a hoarse voice, a little lost.

"You are at fault. The fault is that you did not practice well." Patting Wu Chi on the shoulder, Liu Yu said softly, "This world is so cruel. Without strength, you cannot control your destiny. If you don't want what happened today to repeat itself, just be careful." Practice, with your talent, you may not be weaker than those disciples of famous schools in the future."

It is difficult for a person to grow without experiencing cruel reality. In Liu Yu's eyes, this experience may not necessarily be a bad thing for Wu Chi.

It's just that seeing the little junior brother who was tired and free and easy in the past so depressed and lost, I feel a little indescribably distressed.

After a long silence, Wu Chi suddenly bowed to Liu Yu and saluted.

"Sorry, brother, I still can't go."

Although the voice was very soft, but this time it came out of Wu Chi's mouth, it seemed extremely firm.

"Junior brother, what are you messing around with?" Liu Yu couldn't help but change his face when he heard this, "Do you know what it means to stay?"

"I don't know what it means to stay, but I understand what it means to me to leave." Shaking his head vigorously, Wu Chi replied in a deep voice, "Senior brother just said that my fault was that I didn't practice well, which also made me want to understand many things."

"Cultivation itself is not smooth sailing. There are always many difficulties and obstacles to face. I can retreat once, but I can't retreat forever." Tranquility untied the waist plate that symbolized the disciple of the Iron Sword Sect and put it on the carriage, Wu Chi's face Instead, he showed a bit of free and easy expression, "Since I was a child, my senior brother always said that I was willful and messing around, so please allow me to be willful again."

"No!" Liu Yu resolutely objected, "This matter is related to your life and death, I can't let you mess around, even if you are tied, I will tie you back."

"Brother, you can tie me once, but can you tie me forever?" Wu Chi asked calmly without any sign of flinching.

"Don't talk nonsense, you have to go back with me today." Glaring at Wu Chi, Liu Yu scolded in a deep voice.

While speaking, Liu Yu stepped forward and reached out to grab Wu Chi, wanting to use violence to solve the problem as before.

For so many years, when Wu Chi was disobedient, he always solved it like this.

"Zheng!"

A crisp sound of sword cries, like a thunderclap on the ground, made Liu Yu stunned.

Until the outstretched hand was pointed at by the edge of the sword, he didn't even realize that the sword was pulled out from the hand of his junior brother who usually wouldn't even dare to talk back when he got angry.

"You actually drew your sword at me?"

Shaking his head slightly, Wu Chi said softly, "My strength is far inferior to senior brother. If I don't draw my sword, I will be captured by senior brother in a short time."

This sword is not intended to hurt people, but to show an attitude.

"Junior brother, are you crazy?" Liu Yu asked in disbelief.

"I'm sorry! But I want to choose for myself, no matter what the result is! Because this is the way of swords in my heart."

kendo!

Those two simple words immediately made Liu Yu's heart tremble violently.

His gaze involuntarily fell on Wu Chi's face again. On that still immature face, it was not the pranks of the past, let alone the willful and mischievous pranks, but the seriousness he had never seen before.

"Brother, you said yesterday that this is not the path we should take. But I want to give it a try, maybe... this is the path I should take."

What kind of life will there be? Many times, it is just a thought.

At this moment, Liu Yu finally saw a trace of Master's shadow in this little junior brother, and also saw something different.

The original anger seemed to dissipate in an instant, and he looked at Wu Chi silently for a long time before sighing softly.

"Little brother, you have really grown up."

Although he loved this little junior brother before, in fact, Liu Yu always felt that Wu Chi was just a child who could not grow up. Although he had some talent, it was not enough for his master to have such high expectations.

Even deep in my heart, I still have a bit of disdain!

However, it wasn't until this moment that he finally understood that this little junior was different from himself or other disciples in the sect.

Perhaps, this is the sword heart and sword bone that Master said.

The carriage left slowly and gradually disappeared from Wu Chi's vision.

"Little brother... take care!"

Pushing open the window, but Liu Yu never looked back.

Everyone has a different way to go, he can't help Wu Chi choose the way, and he can't walk the same way as Wu Chi.

Tiejianmen is too small to withstand too much wind and rain. He bears the responsibility of inheriting Tiejianmen, so he is destined not to act willfully like Wu Chi.

What's more, he knew very well in his heart that he didn't have the courage and courage of his younger brother.

All that can be done now, perhaps, is just silently cherishing it in my heart.
