Cold Clouds

Song Hanyun, who was sleeping at Jianfeng Cliff, was awakened by Qin Feng, and then was dragged in front of Xu Kui.

Xu Kui was actually not very willing to teach Song Hanyun. After all, he didn't know what kind of person Song Hanyun actually was, nor did he know how strong Song Hanyun was.

But Lin Xiaoxiao recommended this guy.

After fighting with Lin Xiaoxiao, Xu Kui has recognized Lin Xiaoxiao's strength. Although they only competed in sword skills and swordsmanship, it is rumored that Lin Xiaoxiao's skills are more than just swordsmanship. She also has many treasures on her body, and her strength is worthy of her generation.

Anyway, he's better than that guy in Songyu Pavilion.

Xu Kui got angry when he thought of that boy who acted arrogant every day.

I really want to go back and beat that guy up.

Forget it, let’s get to work first.

Xu Kui pulled himself back to his senses and looked at Song Hanyun.

This kid...did he just come back from the Sword Wind Cliff of the Yunjian Sect? Xu Kui felt the traces of sword energy left all over Song Hanyun's body and nodded.

It seems that this kid is not bad. While Xu Kui was talking about the requirements for teaching Song Hanyun sword skills, he sighed in his heart.

He himself knew that he was not a good person. He colluded with the cult and harmed many people.

The Sword of Flying Snow and Falling Flowers should not belong to him. Xu Kui looked at Song Hanyun in front of him and thought of himself back then.

Once upon a time, Xu Kui was also a high-spirited young man who dreamed of traveling the world with a sword and quelling all rebellions with one sword.

But now, he himself has become a nuisance.

How could this happen? How could this happen...

You can't live without money. You save people but get framed. Strength and money are the most important things in this world.

Original intention? Xu Kui's original intention had turned into ashes along with that girl.

Shangguan Yao is a female alchemist who was born in the Western Continent. She has the dual spiritual roots of wood and fire and travels to the Eastern Continent alone.

Xu Kui is not young anymore, but he still remembers every detail of his time with Shangguan Yao. It's strange, as he can't even remember what his disciple likes to eat.

Although Shangguan Yao is a pill cultivator, her understanding and attainments of sword are not low. When she first met Xu Kui, he was only eighteen years old, but at that time Xu Kui was already a true god.

Xu Kui remembered that Shangguan Yao was probably one or two years younger than him. When he rescued Shangguan Yao from the bandits, she called him "brother".

How long has it been since I last heard that voice? Almost a hundred years, right? Time really flies.

From then on, Shangguan Yao had always been by Xu Kui's side. At that time, Xu Kui felt that this girl was not very smart. She was obviously an alchemy practitioner, but she was always poisoned. At that time, she needed Xu Kui to protect her and help her detoxify.

It was not until the day she burned to ashes in Xu Kui's arms that she spoke of this incident.

"Brother, do you know why I am always poisoned?" At that time, Xu Kui could no longer see her face clearly. He could only see her wrapped in flames, vaguely smiling. "I am an extremely talented alchemist! I have memorized every herbal book, how could I not recognize those small poisons..."

"I just want to lie in your arms for a little longer, just a little longer..." Xu Kui's tears probably dripped onto her face. Shangguan Yao let out a clear laugh that Xu Kui would never hear again, "Brother, this is the first time I've seen you cry like this."

Shangguan Yao's voice became lower and lower, and his breathing became gradually weaker. Xu Kui could no longer hold back, and tears continued to fall.

"Brother, I love you," Shangguan Yao gradually turned into flying ash, "Promise me that you will become the most powerful upright cultivator in the East Continent, and then find a good girl, okay?"

"I promise you, I promise you..." Xu Kui sobbed and said, "Don't leave," but he couldn't. He wanted to say, "I can't possibly fall in love with someone else," but the words got stuck in his throat and he couldn't say them.

"I want to see how much the girl who can be with you will..." Shangguan Yao completely lost her temper, and Xu Kui raised the sword tremblingly.

That day, Xu Kui learned the "Flying Snow and Falling Flowers Sword". That year, the East Continent lost seven evil sects and four righteous elders forever.

If the righteous are truly just, why would some people go along with the evil cult? If the evil cult really has a bottom line, why would it resort to such evil and vicious tactics! ?

"Burning Sky Demonic Art" uses human lives to exchange for the most evil fire in the world, and even Xu Kui's ice cannot stop its burning.

From that day on, Xu Kui was entangled and struggled, and finally came to this point.

Join the evil cult, kill the dirty people among the decent people, and then kill the people in the evil cult.

In this "deal", not all decent people are guilty, but Xu Kui no longer cares about that.

Xu Kui deceived Shangguan Yao. He did not become the most powerful upright cultivator in the East Continent, nor did he find a Taoist partner.

People say that Xu Kui is not interested in women, but no one knows that Xu Kui's heart is already given to a dead girl.

After that, Xu Kui had dreams every day. She dreamed that Shangguan Yao and herself were taking walks and picking herbs... Then she deliberately ate the poisonous herbs as usual, and Xu Kui held her in his arms as usual, feeding her medicine and detoxifying her.

Then he woke up from the dream, touched the tear marks on his face, and sat on the edge of the bed to calm himself down.

The pain in my heart is real, the longing for her is real, and the tears on my face are real. Only she is fake.

No matter how real it was, it was still a dream. Her every smile, every move made Xu Kui almost forget everything. But it was all fake. No matter how real it was, she was no longer there.

There are good people in decent societies, and not all cults are bad people, but what Xu Kui wants is that there are no bad people in decent societies and no cults in the world.

That kind of world is what Xu Kui wants to give Shangguan Yao.

Those days... those days. They were beautiful and unforgettable. But they were only those days. We can’t go back, we can’t go back!

Xu Kui clenched his fists and looked at Song Hanyun who was standing solemnly in front of him.

"Hey! Are you planning to learn sword just like this?" Lin Xiaoxiao, who came out of Medicine King Valley, saw Song Hanyun's miserable state, rubbed her brows, and threw a jar of elixir to Song Hanyun, "Eat it quickly, and recover after you finish it. Where have you been playing all day... really..."

Lin Xiaoxiao sighed helplessly, gave the earthen jar to Song Hanyun, and went back to the Medicine King Valley.

Boy, you are much luckier than me, you don’t have to worry about her leaving. Xu Kui smiled bitterly and watched Song Hanyun swallow the pill with a faint smile.

But you also have to have the strength to stand by her side, at least to protect her when a crisis comes, right?

Xu Kui took a deep breath, and the scene of Shangguan Yao burning to ashes appeared in his mind again.

Xu Kui closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, he saw Song Hanyun with a solemn expression.

"Senior, please give me some advice!" Song Hanyun saluted with his fists clasped.

"Get ready, kid!" Xu Kui drew his sword, his eyes sharp.

Boy, I hope you will have no regrets when you think back on those days.
