I heard that I became the villain Bai Yueguang after I died

With the concerted efforts of all major sects, Lingxiao Sect has been basically rebuilt.

Shen Mingchao's injuries have almost healed.

Liuliyue insisted on holding a thank-you banquet, with all the immortal sects that came to aid Penglai attending.

Sang Nian couldn't persuade her, so he was half-dragged and half-pulled over by her.

In order to avoid causing panic, Xie Chenzhou still used Yu Du's identity.

He sat in the corner, drinking by himself, his eyes fixed on the girl in the crowd in front of him.

"How could you just leave without saying anything?"

Shen Mingchao asked Sang Nian with an unhappy look on his face:

"I almost thought you fell into the sea again."

"Didn't I contact you with the Spiritual Stone a long time ago?" Sang Nian said, "I left the Demon Realm a few days ago and went to my brother's place, Qingzhou."

Shen Mingchao asked her: "Then how did you recover your memory?"

"I ate the flower of the past." Sang Nian said, "This is the method Xiao Zhuochen told me in Guixu."

Speaking of Xiao Zhuochen, Shen Mingchao glanced at Xiao Jing in the distance and asked in a low voice:

"Is he... okay?"

"He looks good." Sang Nian said excitedly, "We can go to Guixu to see him later."

Shen Mingchao smiled and shook his head:

"You think Guixu is your home? You can go there whenever you want. Without the right opportunity, ordinary people will never be able to enter in this lifetime."

Sang Nian scratched his head:

"Is it difficult? I don't really feel it."

Shen Mingchao laughed again, "How did you cure your eyes?"

Sang Nian said vaguely: "It will be fine after taking some medicine."

Shen Mingchao nodded, but didn't pursue the question any further. He just nodded his chin towards Xie Chenzhou who was walking away from the crowd.

"reconciled?"

"We never quarreled." Sang Nian said, "There's no such thing as getting along or not."

"Then why does he act like someone owes him money?"

Shen Mingchao was dissatisfied. He strode over and stood in front of Xie Chenzhou's desk with his arms folded across his chest.

Xie Chenzhou raised his head lazily:

"Get out of the way, don't block the light."

Shen Mingchao grabbed him, dragged him around and walked towards the crowd, muttering softly:

"Why are you pretending to be so independent from the world?"

Xie Chenzhou: “…”

He pried Shen Mingchao's hands apart with force:

"I can walk by myself."

Shen Mingchao pulled out the chair next to his seat and pushed him to sit down.

Xie Chenzhou and Sang Nian opposite him stared at each other.

Sang Nian looked at him, then at Shen Mingchao, and immediately stood up and went to Su Xueyin's table, leaving the space for the two of them.

Shen Mingchao sat down with his sword and placed a wine bowl in front of Xie Chenzhou.

"Wow--"

The bowl is full of wine.

Shen Mingchao put down the wine pot, the smile on his face faded a lot, and he raised his chin:

"I asked you last time if you never considered us friends."

"Now, I'll ask you again, think it over before you answer."

Shen Mingchao looked into Xie Chenzhou's eyes and asked word by word:

"Xie Chenzhou, are we friends?"

Xie Chenzhou looked at him for a few seconds, picked up the wine bowl and drank it all.

Shen Mingchao's eyebrows flashed with a smile, and he hooked his arm around his neck, speaking in a brisk tone:

"Then let's put it this way. No one will talk about the past anymore. From now on, we will continue to be friends and no one is allowed to blame anyone else."

Xie Chenzhou broke away from him and turned his eyes away:

"I didn't say anything."

Shen Mingchao raised his eyebrows, put his arm around his shoulders again, and shook him vigorously twice:

"Then tell me now, I'm listening."

Xie Chenzhou said: "Shen Mingchao, you are annoying."

Shen Mingchao approached with a smile:

"It's you that's annoying. It's annoying to deal with a guy like you who doesn't have a foul mouth but has more problems."

Xie Chenzhou glanced at him, sneered, and said slowly:

"It is said that Xiaoyao Sect's senior brother Shen Mingchao has a high level of cultivation and a calm temperament, but it turns out that these are all rumors."

Shen Mingchao said "Hey" and pulled up his sleeves:

"It's no secret that I'm very powerful. I can kill half of you with one punch."

Xie Chenzhou: “Heh.”

"? Don't believe it?"

Shen Mingchao punched him immediately.

He meant it as a joke and didn't really use any force, but Xie Chenzhou shook his body and gripped the edge of the table with his fingertips.

Shen Mingchao groaned, and looked at him with an indescribable look:

"Forget it. Sang Nian is not here. Stop acting."

Xie Chenzhou sat up straight and said calmly:

"We will set off for Taohua Village early tomorrow morning. Don't miss the time."

"I have never missed a time," Shen Mingchao emphasized, "your worry is completely unnecessary."

Xie Chenzhou stood up and brushed off the non-existent dust on his collar:

"I'm going back to my room to rest first."

Shen Mingchao was surprised: "Why didn't you tell Sang Nian?"

Xie Chenzhou's gaze passed over him and fell on Sang Nian who was chatting with Su Xueyin, and curled the corners of his mouth:

"Don't spoil her fun."

After saying that, he turned and left.

After a while, Sang Nian finished chatting with Su Xueyin, turned around, and didn't see Xie Chenzhou, so he hurriedly grabbed Shen Mingchao:

"Where's Xie Chenzhou?"

Shen Mingchao said: "He went back to his room to rest."

Sang Nian was worried about his health and said hurriedly:

"Then I'll go back too."

She walked a few steps, then remembered something and turned back to ask Shen Mingchao:

"By the way, you said you had something for me last time, what was it?"

Shen Mingchao lowered his head and took a sip of wine, then he raised his eyebrows at her and said confidently:

"It happened more than half a month ago. Do you think I still remember it?"

Sang Nian held his forehead and looked at him with a look that said, "I knew you were unreliable."

"Forget it, tell me when you remember."

Shen Mingchao was impatient:

"I know, I know."

Only then did Sang Nian speed up and leave.

Her figure disappeared from sight. Shen Mingchao turned around and his eyes fell accurately on the woman in blue not far away, smiling as usual:

"Fellow Daoist, what have you been looking at for so long?"

Liuliyue shrugged:

"Nothing, I just think you're funny."

The smile on Shen Mingchao's face disappeared in a second:

"You're funny."

Liuliyue: "You are anxious."

Shen Mingchao: “…”

Shen Mingchao turned and left.

Behind him, Liu Liyue's voice came through the noisy crowd again:

"But you made the right choice."

It's up to you to say it.

Shen Mingchao curled his lips in disdain.

He is the eldest brother of Xiaoyao Sect who possesses both wisdom and courage, so of course he can make the most correct decision.

The night at sea is too dark.

Shen Mingchao was walking on the uneven reef, his body shaking a little.

For no reason, he thought of that year in Yujing.

It was the first time that everyone went to Chuimenglou. When they came out, they were shoulder to shoulder, hand in hand, walking on the road like crabs, and they were all very drunk.

He closed his eyes and tried to hum the tune he had hummed in the past, but he couldn't find the tune, so he had to give up in disappointment.

"Wow--"

The waves came in waves, hitting the rocks and almost swallowing him.

He woke up from his memories, and those hazy and warm images disappeared, leaving only the dark night around him.

"..."

The evening breeze brought the sounds of laughter, clinking of glasses, and voices from the distant banquet hall, which mixed with the sound of the waves in front of us. It was not quiet at all.

Shen Mingchao looked at the sea in silence for a long time.

The cold water splashed on the corner of his clothes, but he didn't care. He opened his clenched palms and raised them casually.

The waves receded.

"Tomorrow, Senior Brother and Song Chuyao will get married."

He continued walking along the road, muttering to himself:

"Ayin said that she doesn't want to be angry anymore and will definitely make peace with Chuyao."

"Shanghai Xiaoshan will also be getting married to Xie Xiaochuan soon."

"…I have to give money again."

He looked up at the sky and sighed deeply, feeling eight parts sad and ten parts worried:

"If I had known, I would have been more smooth when I left the palace."

"I can't go back anyway, so why worry about whether they will be angry or not?"

Having said that, he sighed again:

"I regret it."
