On the banks of a wide river.
Three exceptionally beautiful young men were all busy.
Wen Qijin rolled up his sleeves and stood in the knee-deep water of the flowing river, holding a long sword, fully focused on spearing fish underwater.
Zhou Yue squatted on a stone by the river, also rolling up his sleeves, using his extremely sharp dagger to descale the fat and delicious river fish just speared.
Pei Yi Jian had gathered a pile of firewood from the nearby woods and was squatting next to it, using his fan to fan the fire gradually.
These three young men, without any airs of vanity, moved gracefully and casually, even without managing their expressions, yet they were still so pleasing to the eye.
When Zhou Yue walked over with the fish, the fish rack for grilling had already been set up in the bonfire.
The fire was burning vigorously, with plenty of firewood nearby, giving hope of enjoying delicious grilled fish.
After arranging the cleaned fish neatly on the rack, Zhou Yue turned his head and glanced at Pei Yijian, who was once again lost in his thoughts while sitting by the fire.
“Brother Pei, are you thinking about that person again?”
Zhou Yue sighed inwardly.
He originally didn’t intend to say it, but every time he saw Pei Yijian like this, he couldn’t hold back.
The person who falls into the trap of love, he has seen many, but he has never seen anyone like Brother Pei, who holds the things used by the girl every day and thinks of her when he sees them.
It’s been over three months. Isn’t it boring to look at it every day?
He doesn’t understand, really doesn’t understand…
Pei Yijian did not shift his gaze because of Zhou Yue’s words. He was still staring absentmindedly at the golden buyao1 in his hand.
It was one of Lu Lili’s valuables that he had taken back from the bandits before.
Made by the palace, it had an exquisite workmanship and splendid style, it really is beautiful.
It was so beautiful that he didn’t want to return it at all, just wanted to keep it by his side.
And then, just like now, whenever he had free time, he would take it out and look at it for a few moments, to alleviate the lovesickness that he didn’t know when he caught.
After relieving it for a while, Pei Yi carefully put away the golden buyao before responding to Zhou Yue’s words, “Ah, I just take a casual glance.”
“… ” Zhou Yue shook his head and sighed again.
Brother Pei was so lost in thoughts, but said that it was just a few glances?
Wen Qijin, who had already changed into clean clothes, also walked over.
Just now, he went diving and speared fish, and his clothes were already soaked through.
However, no matter how many times he changed, his clothes remained blue in color, and the only noticeable difference was the style.
This was because there was a girl who once looked at him in amazement and said, “You look really good in this color!”
Thinking of this girl, Wen Qijin felt regret in his heart because when they arrived in Huan’yang last time, he couldn’t see her there…
“Now the whereabouts of the treasure map are unknown again. Why don’t we go to Huan’yang again?” Wen Qijin suggested, his gaze falling on the other two.
Zhou Yue flipped the grilled fish and spoke first, “Sure! So far, two small sects in the martial world have been annihilated because they saw the treasure map. Let’s go to Huan’yang and see if we can find out the specific details.”
Yes, indeed, the purpose of these three wanderers in the martial world was the treasure map!
Speaking of it, all three of them had witnessed the tragic fate of the two small sects being annihilated.
Upon learning that the treasure map might be within those two small sects, the three of them immediately hurried there, but they were still a step too late.
Both adjacent small sects no longer had any survivors. The ground was littered with scattered corpses, and the blood had dyed the ground red, gradually drying up as time passed.
At this thought, Pei Yijian firmly nodded in agreement, “I heard that half a month ago, the elder of the Divine Calculation Sect predicted that the final appearance of the treasure map would be in Huan’yang. Huan’yang must be bustling right now.”
