After Shui Ling'er fell asleep, Zhuyue carried her seven-star natal chart and walked towards the Ethereal Hall again.

When passing through Mingzhu Peak, he stopped and stood and looked at the top of Zhenlong Peak from afar.

For many nights, he stood in this position, staring at Xi Mutong's looming figure on the True Dragon Peak, and often guarded it all night.

She rarely sleeps, and in the dead of night, she sits on the edge of the cliff and looks out in the direction of the world. More often, she will pluck the guqin and play a song "Far Return".

The sound of the piano was like a cry, as if she was telling all living beings about the pain and heartbreak of the past. And those hardships, she has carried through thousands of years alone. Those broken pasts, maybe in a few lifetimes, she will not confide in anyone in words, so she can only rely on this bleak piano sound to confide in her heart.

He had been with her quietly for countless months of dark nights, and if she had noticed it, would she have guessed his thoughts? He would rather turn such a time into an eternal secret, to treasure it forever in his heart.

He hopes that he has the ability to hold his breath and condense the mountains and rivers, and ask the heavens and the earth to prove that she is not lonely, and that she has always been accompanied by his apprentice. So usually, he doesn't leave until dawn.

But this night, he suddenly hoped that time could speed up the pace of progress, so that there would be countless such nights in his life to spend with her.

However, since his life has come to an end, and at this end, he sees the blooming and continuation of more life, he can only accept it, and can only give up.

Walking to the door of the Ethereal Palace, he asked softly, "Auntie, have you slept?"

Of course, Xi Mutong didn't sleep, in the dead of night, it was the only time that belonged to her, and she was reluctant to sleep.

"Zhuyue, why are you here again so late?" There was a hint of surprise in her voice, but she still flicked her sleeves and opened the door of the hall, and saw Zhuyue floating in from outside the door, holding his seven-star horoscope in her palm.

"You...... What are you doing here?" Xi Mutong had a hint of foreboding in her heart.

Zhu Yue didn't wait to answer, and suddenly the luck dantian was really angry, and then the palm was full of fingers.

I saw that the two fingers of his right hand were combined, and a dazzling purple light flashed on his fingertips. The purple light emitted from the finger force and fell on the life chart in front of him, and a fire immediately ignited on the plate, burning the surrounding gossip, and its speed was so fast that Xi Mutong couldn't stop it at all.

She took two steps back, her hands on her heart, unable to speak.

Zhu Xing knelt down on his knees and knocked his head to the ground: "Master, please accept the apprentice's worship." ”

Xi Mutong's hands trembled, and he pointed at him and said, "Zhuyue, you ...... You are so presumptuous, you are so bold and reckless, it is really a great rebellion! I will never allow you to disobey my orders, you don't think!"

Xi Muxian, there are times when he loses his temper.

Zhu Yue raised her head, her face was already stained with tears, "Auntie, the destiny of heaven cannot be violated. I beg you, if something really happens to you, please ask my aunt to cut off my immortal root to keep my brother safe!" he finally said the words she was most afraid of hearing.

Xi Mutong's lips were purple, and he just shook his head.

Zhu Yue said with tears in her eyes: "Auntie, you know very well that since the Bamboo Tree Spirit reborn me and Zhu Xing as Bamboo Leaf Elves, the two of us have been born from the same root and cannot be separated. If I die, he will not be able to live alone. But if I can cut off the fairy root before I die, even if I cut off contact with him, I will give him a way to live. From now on, even if he doesn't have me, he can continue to live his immortal life. Auntie, you wouldn't want to lose two apprentices at the same time, would you?"

Xi Mutong curled up in the chair, couldn't bear to look at him, and asked coldly, "What are you...... Is this a threat to me?"

Zhuyue cried: "The disciple doesn't dare! But the disciple can't steal his life, he can only obey the will of heaven and complete the mission of this life! The disciple knows that my aunt has risked her life to renew my life, but have you ever thought that the so-called change of life is to transfer the fate that should have been borne by yourself to someone else, and someone else will suffer it on your behalf? In exchange for my life with another person's death, this kind of life for life, please forgive the disciple for not accepting it!"

Before the words fell, only a "pop" sound, Xi Mutong had already slapped him in the face, and then, even she herself froze, her dark eyes flashed dazed.

And in her mind, fragments of the past about Zhuyue and Zhuxing kept coming up.

I remember that when she first returned to Jiluo Mountain, she was extremely weak, and fell in the bamboo forest full of injuries, in a haze, but saw two little green people, dipped in dew with bamboo leaves, and sent them into her mouth drop by drop, and then found rags to bandage her wounds.

A few days later, when she was refreshed, she put the two little green elves in her palm and looked at them. But they were so small that she had to close her palms slightly to prevent them from being blown away by the wind.

Later, she covered Luoyin Zhuyu and set up the Nine Palaces Spiral Astrolabe, and they have been bouncing around her to help, bringing a lot of joy to her lonely heart.

Later, she used Zhitian Zen to transform them into children, and the children grew up again, until they grew into their current appearance and upgraded to bamboo immortals, which has been five hundred years later.

But right now, when his child grew up, he knelt down and begged her to cut off his immortal roots?
