C160

On the river path, there were many boats coming and going. Lights flickered, and couples were here admiring the moon and enjoying the scenery. They shared their feelings and created a scene that would make anyone yearn for them.

It was even more so on the arched bridge.

Nervous, expectant, nervous...

It was as if these were the only two words left in his life, and were Xia Xiaoxiao's current feelings.

"Yo, little girl? It's just one person? " It was unknown when, but a few drunkards had arrived here while swaying their bodies.

Xia Xiaoxiao did not move, nor did he turn back.

Seeing that, the few of them were furious, one of them took a big step forward, his rough hands just wanted to pat Xia Xiaoxiao's shoulders, but unexpectedly, a young man calmly held him back.

"You're drunk." The young man suddenly pushed with such force that the drunk man was pushed to the other side of the bridge.

"Who the f * * k are you?"

"Let's go." The drunkard waved his hand and the few of them rushed forward.

The young man didn't move and instead used the force of the impact to rush over. Suddenly, he moved to the side and tossed the few of them into the river, causing the sound of them falling into the water to ring out.

Xia Xiaoxiao could not help but turn his head to look, only to see that clean face of Qin Meng. His vision blurred, and in a blink of an eye, he felt as if he had returned to ten years ago.

Ten years had passed, and that young and delicate face of hers had undergone many changes. However, the blurry outline of her past could still be seen.

Qin Meng.

Xia Xiaoxiao's heart was thumping, nervous, awkward, and at a loss of what to do, suddenly he did not know what to say.

"Princess."

Qin Meng laughed, and then muttered. He walked forward and stood by her side, and looked at the river below.

"By boat?" Xia Xiaoxiao tried his best to calm down and start working on the plan in his mind.

"It's too expensive." Qin Meng shook his head.

"I'll pay." she said seriously.

"Sure." Qin Meng nodded.

For a moment, Xia Xiaoxiao was stunned speechless. She did not believe this damned reason, but she did not continue to be conflicted.

Not long after, the two boarded a boat. It wasn't too big, but the boatman was a seemingly simple and honest old man in his fifties.

"How have you been all these years?" Xia Xiaoxiao could not help but say. From time to time, she would look at him, at that clean face, with her muddy eyes and wrinkled eyes. For some reason, she felt a pain in her heart.

At this moment, she had even noticed the wine pot on Qin Meng's waist. She asked in confusion, "You like drinking wine?"

Qin Meng laughed while facing the wind: "There's something wrong with your body, drink to prevent it."

Xia Xiaoxiao nodded his head: "If I had jumped into the river earlier, would you have saved me?"

Qin Meng shook his head.

Xia Xiaoxiao was stunned, "Why?"

He seriously replied, "In this world, there are no drowned cultivators."

This...

For a moment, she didn't know what to say or refute. She thought to herself, "You really don't know how to chat."

At that moment, another boat passed by them. On the boat were a pair of young lovers, snuggling against each other, completely ignoring the others, as if they were the only ones in their world.

Xia Xiaoxiao's heart moved and his face slightly flushed. He said in a low voice: "Can you hug me for a bit?"

Qin Meng was stupefied, and did not say a word.

She paused, feeling disappointed, as if she was mocking herself, "Then forget it."

At this time, the boatman behind him spoke up. "What's the point of hugging? It wasn't like the old man hadn't met before? Young people must cherish their own eyes! "

"It's alright, carry on! The old man won't see it! "

Xia Xiaoxiao's eyes were wide open, flickering with light and alluring to the eyes. Under the veil of her face, the smile on her lips was so thick that it could melt a person.

Nervous, expectant...

At this moment, she closed her eyes and waited for the scene in her heart to happen.

However, even after waiting for a long time, Qin Meng still did not manage to hug her.

A cool breeze blew past, lifting up her clothes and hair. A sorrowful expression that was difficult for an ordinary person to understand appeared on her beautiful face. Even the depths of her beautiful eyes occasionally flashed with sparkling lights, making her seem extremely attractive.

"Are you really that heartless?" Her voice was not calm. There was a tinge of sadness in it, even though she was trying very hard to control her emotions.

"We're not the same." Qin Meng chuckled, obviously very carefree, "People from two different worlds cannot walk together."

"Why didn't you give up?" "As long as you give up, everything will change. There's no need for you to sacrifice yourself for a plaque. At worst, you can just try again."

"Some things can never be retrieved once they are given up." Qin Meng whispered.

"You liar." The plot was not reversed, it was completely gone. He was just as stubborn as she had imagined, willing to give up for the sake of that small courtyard rather than for her own sake.

Why?

Ten years of hard work.

She really couldn't accept it.

Xia Xiaoxiao's face was filled with tears, her heart was at the peak of despair, looking at her, the expectation she had been waiting for the last ten years was shattered, not even a speck of dust remained.

Thinking of this, she cried even more sorrowfully.

Qin Meng closed his eyes slightly, as if he was struggling in incomparable pain. He muttered: "Our positions are different, the world is different, you are high and mighty, I am just an ordinary person, you are destined to soar the nine heavens, and become a person whom tens of thousands of people revere. However, I may disappear from the world in the next moment."

"Do you understand?"

"I don't care. As long as you leave this place, I can give up. Let's leave this place together and go to a place with no one, okay?" She cried, her voice trembling with grief and desire. Her tear-filled eyes stared at him tightly. She didn't even dare to blink, fearing that the one she loved would disappear forever.

Qin Meng was stupefied, his face expressionless.

She kept wiping her tears away as she tried to control herself. When the wind blew past, it brought along traces of coldness. It was as if she could feel the coldness, causing her delicate body to tremble.

The two of them did not speak again, and the boatman behind them sighed in sorrow.

After a very long time, she stopped crying and retracted all of her emotions. Those beautiful eyes of hers were empty, like the space between the endless stars.

She turned her face to the side and forced out a smile that was even uglier than crying. "Can you look at me again?"

The muslin was lifted, and a beautiful face appeared in Qin Meng's line of sight. He did not know why, but the rise and fall of his chest made him feel extremely suffocated, and his heart was filled with countless of regrets. His mouth opened, but in the end he did not say anything.

Her voice trembled. "I understand."

Qin Meng subconsciously tightened his fists as his gaze focused, as if he was controlling his emotions.

She smiled again and added in a desolate tone, "But I don't regret it." As the sound of his voice faded, he turned and flew to the side of the bridge.

Clang!

A sword light slashed out, and she engraved several words on the side of the arched bridge, "The mountain has branches and trees of the west China Sea, Happy Monarch is known." And then his figure disappeared.

Everyone on the bridge path, on both sides of the river, gaped in shock.

On the boat, Qin Meng's body trembled, and suddenly he suffocated.

"What a good poem!"

"There are trees and branches in the mountain, and Xixi Jun has heard of it." The talented girls sighed repeatedly.

However, it was clearly a beautiful poem. The person who told the story of the beauty's feelings was already informed by the person he loved. The poem should have been filled with joy, but why did the crowd feel such sorrow?

The King already knew, why was he still grieving?

Gulp!

Qin Meng took a big gulp of wine, threw down a few crystals and left.

In a certain corner, Emperor Xiawu clenched his hands and turned around silently.
