C102 (1/2)

Wen Jiu dreamt all night long, in his dreams he dreamt eighteen different kinds of household charms. The whip in Xie Heng's hand was playing around vigorously as he calmly asked her, ”Do you dare to do it again next time?”

Before Wen Jiu could reply him, he was already awakened.

Last night, the two maids had brought out two thick quilts to cover her body, as they were afraid that she would catch a cold.

Outside, the sky had yet to light up. The hexagonal frost flowers were flying everywhere, covering the courtyard with a vast expanse of snow.

Wen Jiu changed into a set of clothes and opened the door, then asked the two servants who were dozing off outside: ”What time is it now?”

Jin Er rubbed his eyes, ”It's almost time.”

”Why didn't you wake me up?”

Wen Jiu hurriedly walked outside. He didn't even have time to take his umbrella as he ran out of the courtyard.

Jin Er and Yu Lu held up their umbrellas and chased behind, ”Young Madame, slow down …”

”It's not even dawn yet, what are you so anxious to do?”

”Don't follow me!”

Wen Jiu said without turning his head back.

The two maidservants stood a few steps behind her. They looked up at the sky and muttered in confusion, ”It's not like I lost any silver …”

Not only was he running so fast, but he actually wasn't letting anyone follow him.

Wen Jiu braved the wind and snow and arrived in front of the court. The sky was slightly bright, and the surroundings were quiet.

Under the cover of the night, the tree was covered with a layer of frost, and some of the red plum blossoms had already bloomed.

As for the youth in ink black clothes, he stood in the boundless snow with his sword in his hands. His black and white were distinct. From afar, it could be said that he had left the world and was independent.

Wen Jiu walked over with light footsteps. Seeing the youth with his eyes closed, snow fell between his eyebrows, and a layer of snow covered his long eyelashes.

Just as she was about to call him brother, Xie Heng suddenly raised his hand, the sword sheath raised, and floated in between his arms, his speed so fast that people could not see his movements clearly.

Before she could react.

The youth suddenly held her hand and unsheathed his sword, causing Wen Jiu to fly with his steps. A silver light swept across the snow as the hem of his sleeves fluttered.

She was almost unable to see the scene before her eyes, she could only feel the warmth of the young man's palm, and as the sword moved, the hot air he exhaled slowly rustled beside her ear.

The sword was heavy.

Xie Heng casually pulled back his sword and Wen Jiu nearly gasped for breath.

Her heart was in her mouth, but she didn't dare to say she was tired. She forced herself to keep up with the young man's pace.

Not long after, he was covered in sweat.

In less than half an incense worth of time, his legs became weak and he could not stand. His arms became as heavy as lead and he was really unable to lift them up.

Even if she was punished, she couldn't possibly be allowed a weak girl to practice the sword with him, right?

Wasn't this obviously trying to take his life?

”Focus!”

Xie Heng only said two words.

Wen Jiu staggered, and almost fell into the snow. The youth reached out to support her, and she accidentally bumped into the youth's embrace.

The sound of falling snow and flowing wind filled the air.

Wen Jiu raised his eyes and looked at the absolutely beautiful youth in front of him. For a moment, he was actually a little lost, and in a daze, he took out the longsword, and embedded it into the snow.

”Elder brother!”

The youth not far away spoke, interrupting the delicate atmosphere.

Wen Jiu and Xie Heng turned their heads at the same time.

She hurriedly took two steps back, feeling an inexplicable sense of guilt. Is elder brother alright? ”

Without waiting for Xie Heng to speak.

Wen Jiu added, ”My head seems to be quite stiff …”

”It is indeed quite hard.”

The youth raised his hand to rub his chest and couldn't help but frown. ”Are you waiting for me to crash into you?”

That's what he said.

Wen Jiu couldn't explain even if he wanted to.

In the blink of an eye.
