Chapter 95: Unfinished business, as it should be

Fireworks will fade, music will stop, and grand events will also come to an end.

After Pei Jinge personally said the three names and determined as the chief of the Sky Patrol Department that Gu Zhuo won the first place in this year's Summer Festival, the entire God Palace was silent for a moment and then welcomed warm cheers again.

In fact, Gu Zhuo was already the most popular candidate to win the championship before the summer festival began. Both ordinary people and strong men from major sects had never concealed their optimism about him, and this optimism was also truly reflected in the odds of the gambling house.

Logically speaking, most people should accept this fact calmly and casually, and then in the morning when they are drinking tea and chatting, they will casually say that the winner is indeed Gu Zhuo, I have already guessed that this is the case, no one would join in the fun last night, right? Then you are too short-sighted, next time you should just go home and sleep, there is really no need to care about such a thing that is likely to happen...

However, Gu Zhuo does not follow the beaten path. The choice he made tonight has never been seen in the past hundred years of summer festivals. It is undoubtedly a first-of-its-kind move.

More importantly, he succeeded in the end.

The feeling of witnessing history happen with their own eyes is so intoxicating and fascinating that even those who sincerely expect the unexpected to happen can't help but be intoxicated and immersed in it for a moment, and are willing to cheer for it enthusiastically.

The fatigue in the eyes of the young men and women who were brought to the capital by their elders to feel the atmosphere of the summer festival in advance had long been replaced by excitement, and their tender cheeks were filled with a strong fascination that could not be concealed. I think they will have a dream when they fall asleep tonight. In the dream, they will stand on the sacred mountain where wind and snow are eternally lingering, with swords on their knees, fighting against thousands of people alone, and dominating the contemporary world.

Not everyone in Shendu was immersed in this heated emotion.

After the summer festival, those candidates who were sent to Cangshan by great magical powers naturally returned to the capital.

Teachers and leaders from various academies and Taoist temples flocked to them, surrounded them, and gave them the most intimate care and comfort.

The monk Wuque, who only fought twice during the entire summer festival, was not reprimanded. The Zen masters seemed very satisfied with his choice. Even the monk Kuzhou, who always had a tense face, was smiling.

The young monk touched his bald head and accepted the compliments skillfully, thinking that the friend fee he paid was well worth it.

In comparison, Bai Langxing's side was much quieter.

He wasted almost no time and boarded a carriage and left. The carriage seemed to be heading straight for the imperial city?
Lin Wanyi was standing alone in this noisy and bustling night, with his brows tightly furrowed.

The goddess Jing Tian came to her side and asked, "What are you looking for?"

Lin Wanyi said: "He didn't come back."

The "he" in the words is of course Gu Zhuo.

As soon as the words fell, there was silence in the room.

After being stunned for a moment, people subconsciously looked in all directions, searching for the figure they could never forget, but they found nothing.

The strong men from the great sword sects were the most anxious. If this was not the Divine Capital or the Imperial City, I believe that sword lights would have been flying up and illuminating the entire place at this moment.

……

……

The wind and snow on Cangshan Mountain are no longer the same.

From a certain moment on, time here flies by and everything changes in an instant.

Those scenes that should have taken place within several hours were condensed into the blink of an eye and all flooded into the eyes of the viewer.

Until the morning light broke through the clouds and the sky gradually brightened.

Gu Zhuo was not shocked by this scene.

He turned his head to look at Yu Sheng and asked, "What's the reason for keeping me here?"

Yu Sheng said softly: "Someone wants me to talk to you in person. Of course, I also want to talk to you myself."

Gu Zhuo was silent for a long time.

Just when Yu Sheng thought that he was going to remain silent to express his anger and resistance, a voice rang out.

To be precise, it's just three simple words.

"you lose."

There was no fluctuation in Gu Zhuo's voice.

Yu Sheng was quiet for a while, looked at him and said, "It's just a few questions. It won't hold you back for long."

Gu Zhuo said calmly: "You lose."

Yu Sheng smiled gently and said, "I can understand your unhappiness, but this matter needs to be discussed now because it is important."

Gu Zhuo politely waited for her to finish her words, then repeated, "You lose."

There was silence on the cliff.

I don’t know how long it took, but Yu Sheng finally spoke.

"Yes, I did lose to you."

She said, “And then?”

Gu Zhuo smiled slightly and said honestly: "Then please change the way you speak. Don't be so condescending. This is a very unreasonable thing to do."

“So this is also considered condescending?”

"I think you should spend more time with people of your own age, then you will discover a fact."

"What fact?"

"To borrow Wan Yi's words, this is a matter of one word."

"Which word?"

"Pack."

Yu Sheng didn't say anything, but looked at Gu Zhuo who was smiling, and his meaning was very clear.

——This word can also be applied to you.

Gu Zhuo still said those three words: "You lose."

So Yu Sheng was speechless.

After a moment, she explained, "This summer festival is a trap set by the imperial court to lure out the leader of the Tianming Sect. The most important thing about this trap is to get the fish to take the bait voluntarily. And when this big fish is about to take the bait, you stop everything abruptly and end it without any cause."

When she said this, her voice was still cold, but the tone was different.

That was a calmness that I had never felt before.

This more or less means that she has admitted her failure.

"I ruined the situation."

Gu Zhuo said: "More importantly, my decision to end the summer festival here is irrational, so I need to give a reasonable explanation now, right?"

Yu Sheng hummed softly, then asked, "What is the specific reason for you to do this?"

Now that things have come to this, it would be a bit guilty to avoid answering the question any further.

Gu Zhuo was quiet for a moment, looked up at the straight cliff reflecting the sky, and said, "I have a very troubled past."

Yu Sheng understood.

Cangshan is the eldest princess’s dojo. The mental calamity originates from the heart, and it is inevitable that it will involve certain secrets deep in the heart.

If Bai Nanming insisted on finding out the truth, then as long as Gu Zhuo entered the stage of the heart tribulation, the secret in his heart would not be hidden, and everything would be presented to her truthfully. Yu Sheng shook his head and said, "She...actually won't do that."

"maybe."

Gu Zhuo said: "But I would rather try my best to keep my secret. This is the explanation and reason you want."

Yu Sheng looked at him quietly.

In fact, the reason given by Gu Zhuo is not only far-fetched, but also vague, and has nothing to do with the word "specific".

If the elite officials hiding in the shadow of the Sky Patrol Department were faced with this statement, they would only give one answer.

——Punishment.

However, what was strange was that after hearing these words, Yu Sheng looked at Gu Zhuo in silence for a long time. It was unknown what he was thinking about. His eyes, which were as calm as a mirror, were unusually complex and had a hint of ripples.

Finally she gave an exceptionally clear answer.

"I accept that reason."

She paused, then added: "I think they will accept this reason."

Gu Zhuo suppressed his smile, looked into Yu Sheng's eyes, and said thank you very seriously.

Yes, it was not until this moment that he truly relaxed and stopped worrying about the heavy reality that was bound to come.

Perhaps countless troubles will follow, and the big men standing at the highest positions in the world will look at him with scrutiny, but... these are all things of the future.

No matter why Yu Sheng nodded and agreed to his explanation at this moment, as long as she accepted and approved of it, that was enough.

Yu Sheng accepted the thank you calmly.

Gu Zhuo changed the subject very naturally.

"I'm curious about one thing."

"what's up?"

Yu Sheng's voice became more casual.

Gu Zhuo raised his head, looked towards the top of Cangshan Mountain, and asked uncertainly: "What is the reward for the first place in the summer festival?"

Before he finished listening, Yu Sheng no longer wanted to talk.

Seeing her like this, Gu Zhuo thought it was no wonder that Wanwu had refused to speak to him before, and said with emotion: "This summer festival is a little too fair."

Yu Sheng said softly: "You don't have to say this."

Therefore, Gu Zhuo followed suit and did not ask what his compensation would be.

Yu Sheng guessed this idea and said calmly: "Anyway, I won't let you suffer any loss."

For some reason, when she said the word "I", her tone became inexplicably heavier.

Gu Zhuo asked, "Mountain climbing?"

Yu Sheng glanced at him and asked silently with his eyes.

Gu Zhuo said: "There must be a way to get around it."

"there is."

Yu Sheng said: "But if you suddenly change, there must be a reason."

Gu Zhuo didn't even think about it and explained, "Sunrise."

These two words are very convincing.

At least Yu Sheng accepted it.

Then, the girl in the green dress took him through the ruins, across the snow, and up a very hidden and narrow mountain path.

It was early morning, the sky was just breaking, and the scenery of Cangshan Mountain was just perfect.

The distant wind, no longer too cold, slowly arrived, and clouds and mist followed. Being in it felt like being in a fairyland.

Yu Sheng walked in front.

Gu Zhuo followed him.

The fluffy pigtails swayed in the wind, no longer like a flag, but more like a flower looming in the clouds.

"Where are you going after the summer festival?"

"Does this question need to be answered?"

"Need not."

"That's good."

"Ok?"

“Because I haven’t figured it out yet.”

"Don't you have a concrete and clear answer yet?"

"Yes."

The conversation between the two was still unpleasant because the questions never got an answer, but the tone of their conversation finally became normal and no longer one-sidedly condescending.

This kind of change is rare.

Unfortunately, no matter how long the mountain road is, it will eventually come to an end, and this change cannot continue forever.

When Gu Zhuo followed Yu Sheng's footsteps, walked up the last step and reached the top of the mountain, the sun was rising.

The sea of ​​clouds exudes a warm red color under the reflection of the morning sun.

The snow in the mountains is no longer sad and cold white. It is covered with delicate new powder and is finally pleasing to the eye.

Cangshan Mountain seemed to have just woken up.

Yu Sheng stood with his hands behind his back, looking at the world quietly.

Gu Zhuo was also admiring the picturesque scenery.

After a moment, he turned and looked at Yu Sheng's profile, thinking that he had guessed right.

The reward for first place in this year's summer festival is simple.

Of course it is not this beautiful scene of the sun breaking through the clouds and the red waves stretching for thousands of miles.

It's this mountain.

Cangshan.

　I accidentally fell asleep, and then woke up in horror in my dream. Fortunately, it was still midnight, so I quickly wrote this chapter. I feel very sorry for the book friends who stayed up late waiting. I am really sorry. Next time I will not write the specific time.
