Chapter 4 The Truth
Noticing Shen Jinyu's abnormality, Qi Yue leaned over and asked, "Don't pay attention to the gossip of this kind of person, just do your own thing."

Shen Jinyu nodded, holding his knife tightly with one hand, his fingertips turned white from too much force.

Hey, Qi Yue sighed in his heart, if he lived in this kind of abuse every day, it would be hard not to have problems in his heart.

The work and rest of the disciples of Changlin Villa is very similar to the life of seven in the morning and ten in the evening in high school. You have to get up at dawn, and you can only rest when it is dark.There are things to do every quarter of an hour, but fortunately, most of the time, no one will stare at what you should do, but rely entirely on self-consciousness.Qi Yue hasn't made any friends here yet, so he looks at where Shen Jinyu is doing like an illegitimate fan every day.

Most of the time, Shen Jinyu reads the sword books of hundreds of schools in Zangshu Pavilion by himself, or finds a corner where there is no one to practice swords by himself.Do everything you can to avoid people.

The weather is getting colder, the fallen leaves are flying endlessly, and the wind has already given people a deep chill.The mountains in the field of vision have been covered with a layer of autumn colors.

The past few days have been continuously cloudy, with dark clouds pressing heavily on the top of the mountain, and a cool breeze blowing, as if holding back a heavy rain.

November is approaching, and the annual disciple assessment of Changlin Villa is approaching. Recently, the disciples of the four sects have started to increase their practice, and they will practice for an hour every afternoon.

Qi Yue carried a knife as usual and followed Shen Jinyu to the back mountain. Mr. Xi asked them each to find a fellow student to practice with each other, and to practice everything they had learned recently.

Qi Yue turned to look for Shen Jinyu, planning to practice with him. Shen Jinyu was tall, half a head taller than the people around him. In addition to his outstanding figure, Qi Yue could see him at a glance.

"Shen Jinyu, I want to practice with you," Qi Yue looked up at Shen Jinyu. He was packing his things and planning to find a place where no one was around to practice by himself, but the sudden Qi Yue blocked his way.

"No need, Junior Sister, find someone else." Shen Jinyu didn't even look at her, and was about to leave. Qi Yue raised his foot to follow, but suddenly a hand grabbed her. She looked up and saw that it was Tang. Shan, the disciples of Yunshan Daomen are also practicing here,

"Little junior sister, why are you putting a cold butt on a hot face? Come on, senior brother will practice with you, don't run behind that dead man's ass,"

"Brother, my sword skills are too bad, you can't practice with me, you should find someone else," Qi Yue smiled perfunctorily, and broke away from Tang Shan's hand to chase Shen Jinyu, but Tang Shan didn't let go, and took a step forward Stopped in front of her, "Qi Yue, right? Last time you rescued Shen Jinyu from us and caused my junior brother to break his leg in vain. I haven't settled with you yet. If you don't want to cause trouble, just listen to me and don't come close Shen Jinyu," Tang Shan said the last sentence in a voice that only the two of them could hear.

Qi Yue suppressed the smile on his face, looked at Tang Shan, and said coldly, "Brother, what do you mean by this? You control the world, and who do I make friends with?"

Tang Shan curled her lips and smiled, "Senior brother, of course I can't control it, senior brother is just reminding you, that's all."

"Don't bother senior brother," Qi Yue pushed him away, and went straight to the direction Shen Jinyu was walking.

Qi Yue quickened his pace to catch up, and saw Shen Jinyu talking to Yue Ling at the corner.

Yue Ling: "It just so happens that I'm fine now, let me practice swords with you,"

Shen Jinyu looked at her and shook her head, "No, I can do it by myself," Shen Jinyu's voice was cold as usual, like a mountain spring that hadn't thawed in the mountains in winter, cold.

Qi Yue eavesdropped from behind and felt a little strange. Didn't Ah Ruo say that Yue Ling was Shen Jinyu's white moonlight?Why did Shen Jinyu talk to her like this?

"Are you mad at Fang Ruzhen last time? I know I was too hasty. That little junior sister is right. I shouldn't make a definition without reason. I..."

"Senior Sister Yue, you don't need to apologize to me, you are right, it was me who was wrong," Shen Jinyu interrupted Yue Ling, "It's normal for people like me not to be believed, and the owner of the villa has dealt with you rights, you just do it normally, it doesn’t matter whether you have evidence or not,”

"Jinyu..." Yue Ling wanted to say something, but Shen Jinyu had already left. Duan Mufeng followed from behind and stood beside Yue Ling, looking at Shen Jinyu's lonely back, "Linger, you don't have to blame yourself, let him go , if you want to help him, he has to accept it."

"But this matter is indeed my fault. I didn't figure it out," Yue Ling said with deep self-blame on his face.

"You're right," Duan Mufeng held Yue Ling's shoulders with both hands, lowered his head and coaxed him gently, "This matter is nothing more than being taken advantage of by that clever junior sister. We all understand Fang Ruzhen's temperament. It's skinny, but it won't hurt or deceive people,"

"But……"

"Don't worry about it, don't think about it, let's go, let's practice the sword," Duan Mufeng pulled Yue Ling's wrist and walked away, Qi Yue hid behind a stone and watched them walk away before appearing.

Looking at Duan Mufeng's back, she felt a strange feeling in her heart, she always felt that this person was not a good person.

Shen Jinyu was tall and long-legged, and within a few words between Yue Ling and Duan Mufeng, he had already disappeared.Qi Yue chased him in the direction where his back disappeared, and after a long circle, he saw him under an old locust tree.

Shen Jinyu sat on the root of the tree, holding his knife in a daze.

"You're right," Qi Yue walked over and sat beside Shen Jinyu. Shen Jinyu just lowered her head, neither speaking nor moving.

Qi Yue looked at his drooping eyebrows, the long and curly eyelashes covered the emotion in his eyes.Qi Yue wanted to find something to say, but he didn't know what to say, Shen Jinyu suddenly spoke,

"Fang Ruzhen's leg was injured by me,"

"Ah?" Qi Yue didn't react for a while.

Shen Jinyu continued, "I met him that day in the bamboo forest in the back mountain. He made a mistake and was just punished by his master. He took it out on me when he was in a bad mood. He insulted my parents and wanted to hit me. I broke his legs and hands with the scabbard." After finishing speaking, Shen Jinyu raised her hand and stared at Qi Yue, "I lied, you defended me that day, but you saw the wrong person,"

Shen Jinyu's face was expressionless, her eyes were flat, her eyes were lifeless, and she seemed to have no expectations for anything.

Qi Yue looked at him and frowned, "So? What's wrong with you?"

Shen Jinyu was startled when she heard the words, as if she didn't expect Qi Yue to answer like this.

"So what if you beat me, didn't he deserve it? Why, it's right for him to vent his anger on you, beat and insult you at will, and it's wrong for him to fight back? What nonsense, you too, are you stupid? Then why don't you justify when others bully you like this and they punish you? Just let them beat you, "
