Bishop's Retirement

Chapter 59
The night is dark and the moon is like frost.

Everyone in Zuixian Tower had already fallen asleep, Li Huaikong was sitting on the roof of the inn, looking up at the full moon in the sky, dazed.

The cold moonlight shone on his face, and there was even more melancholy.

"Moon God, please bless me to withdraw from the arena this time..."

After staring at the moon for a while, Li Huaikong suddenly put his hands together and prayed in a low voice.

"The leader of the Sacred Fire Sect did not respect the holy fire, but took the lead in worshiping the moon..."

While Li Huaikong was praying, a familiar voice came from behind: "I think you might as well change your name to Moon Worship Sect..."

Hearing the sound, Li Huaikong was startled.

He turned his head suddenly, only to see Wang Ye walking slowly towards him with a vase of flower carvings and two empty bowls.

"Master!"

Seeing Wang Ye, Li Huaikong was startled, and was about to stand up and salute.

"Sit down!"

Before Li Huaikong could stand up, Wang Ye patted his shoulder lightly: "One bite at a time, one leader, you won't get tired of crying, I'll be tired of listening..."

"Furthermore, I have withdrawn from the arena. Instead of calling me the leader, it is better to call me the shopkeeper."

While speaking, Wang Ye sat beside Li Huaikong.

"It's... the shopkeeper's..."

Hearing this, Li Huaikong said respectfully.

"Well, it's almost there!"

Hearing Li Huaikong's words, Wang Ye nodded.

At the same time, he filled two empty bowls with wine, and said, "The moonlight is just right, if there is no good wine, wouldn't it be boring?"

While speaking, Wang Ye handed a bowl of wine to Li Huaikong: "Tell me, what happened?"

"You, the majestic leader of the Sacred Fire Cult, actually wants to wash your hands in a golden basin and retreat into the world, and you are hunted down by people with a strange poison..."

It seemed that Wang Ye had caught his attention, so Li Huaikong took the drink and drank it all in one gulp.

"the reason is simple…"

Putting down the empty bowl in his hand, Li Huaikong sighed softly: "Just because I have something to worry about..."

"care?"

Hearing this, Wang Yedeng became interested in time, he looked at Li Huaikong, playful: "I think you, Li Huaikong, have never been short of women, and now you have a concern..."

"Tell me, what is the top card that makes you so worried? You actually don't even want your status in the world because of her."

"Just a country girl..."

With a bowl of wine in his stomach, Li Huaikong was not as nervous as before. He looked up at the full moon in the sky and said, "But in my eyes, no matter what kind of top card it is, she is not as good as her. She is like the first snow in winter, pure and flawless." ..."

"Stop!"

Before Li Huaikong could finish speaking, Wang Ye directly interrupted him: "Li Huaikong, it's been a long time since I saw you, where did you learn the sourness of a literati..."

"Pure and flawless, such an elegant word has come out..."

"It's still like the first snow in winter... the little words are all set, and you are going to be the number one in the Beijing exam?"

"I'm sorry, shopkeeper..."

Hearing Wang Ye's words, Li Huaikong scratched his head and said embarrassedly: "When I think of her, I can't help it..."

Seeing Li Huaikong's appearance, Wang Ye waved his hand impatiently, indicating to continue talking.

Seeing Wang Ye waving his hand, Li Huaikong poured himself a bowl of wine, and continued to say after drinking it all: "Shopkeeper, you also know that we ventured into the rivers and lakes for the golden beauties, to stand out..."

"I used to think the same way. I just wanted to make a name for myself in the rivers and lakes, to make the Holy Fire Cult..."

"But when I saw her, all of this suddenly didn't matter to me."

"Compared to her, Everbright Sacred Fire Cult and getting ahead have become dull..."

As he spoke, an unconscious smile appeared on Li Huaikong's face.

"Stop, stop..."

Hearing this, Wang Ye directly interrupted with a wave of his hand: "Li Huaikong, Li Huaikong, I didn't realize that you are still a lover!"

"In the past, seeing you being decisive in killing and attacking, I thought you were also a strong man, but I didn't expect you to be concerned about this, and you have more acid words than the damn scholar who is rushing for the exam!"

Looking at Li Huaikong in front of him, Wang Ye was very helpless.
Originally, he just wanted to see why Li Huaikong was so abnormal.

As a result, he can now see that, just like Li Huaikong, this grandson really has a lot of concerns.

Listening to this burst of sour words, Wang Ye bristled, feeling unspeakably disgusted.

"I'm sorry...I'm sorry..."

Seeing Wang Ye's disgusted expression, Li Huaikong hurriedly said: "I can't help it..."

"That's it!"

Hearing Li Huaikong's appearance, Wang Ye said helplessly, "I wanted to wait for you to speak up, but I didn't expect you to speak sour words when you opened your mouth."

"Let me ask you, what are you going to do next?"

By now, Wang Ye has basically found out the reason for Li Huaikong's anomaly.

Next, he planned to see how Li Huaikong would respond.

"Of course it's a golden basin to wash your hands and quit the arena"

Hearing Wang Ye's inquiry, Li Huaikong's face showed a trace of solemnity: "The day after tomorrow I will wash my hands in the Golden Basin of Hanshan Temple outside Jinling City, and retire to the rivers and lakes..."

"The night after tomorrow?"

Hearing this, Wang Ye was slightly taken aback: "Isn't it tonight to wash your hands with your golden basin?"

Between the words, Wang Ye's face was full of astonishment.

"Of course not..."

Hearing this, Li Huaikong shook his head: "They set up an ambush in advance at the inn where I was staying, and put Qixing Duanhunsan in the wine. I drank the poisonous wine, and that's how I ended up like this..."

As soon as this remark came out, Wang Ye was helpless.

Originally, Wang Ye thought that Li Huaikong was hunted down because the golden basin washed his hands.

As a result, after working for a long time, the washing of the golden basin has not yet started!
Before the golden basin washes his hands, he was almost killed by someone.

Now that he has just recovered his life, he will continue to wash his hands in the golden basin the day after tomorrow.

This is completely too long!

"You just recovered a life, and your body is extremely weak, and you can't even use your usual three successes..."

Looking at Li Huaikong in front of him, Wang Ye squinted his eyes and said, "And you only have one day and one night to recover. Even so, you want to wash your hands and retire?"

"I promised her that after Jinpen washes her hands, I will take her to retreat into seclusion"

As he spoke, a flash of determination flashed in Li Huaikong's eyes: "I owe her too much, and I must not break my word this time...

Hearing Li Huaikong's words, Wang Ye sighed softly.

Forget it, there are always all kinds of good words, but it's hard to persuade the damn ghost.

Thinking of this, Wang Ye turned around slowly and was about to leave.

"Teach... the shopkeeper..."

Seeing Wang Ye turn around, Li Huaikong shook the Hua Diao beside him: "I haven't finished this wine yet!"

"I think there will be plenty of time after drinking. I'll save that jar of sour wine for you to drink on the way!"

As he said that, Wang Ye moved and disappeared on the roof.
