But in the rivers and lakes

For Shen Yun, Tang Lingling was his lifesaver when he was in trouble. He would never forget this kindness no matter what. After more than half a year, when he saw her again, he still had the pretty and lively appearance in his memory. A bit mature, presumably Tang Zhen's death made her grow a lot.Shen Yun clasped his fists to her and said, "Miss Lingling, long time no see."

Regardless of Qi Chenyu's fire-breathing gaze behind her, Tang Lingling enthusiastically took Shen Yun's hand and said, "Earlier, people in the world were saying that Brother Shen took the Chixiao Sword and fled beyond the Great Wall. I absolutely didn't believe it. Now the truth is revealed. It's so kind to give brother Shen justice!" As she spoke, her eyes darkened, and she lowered her eyebrows and said sadly: "It's a pity that my father was killed by a traitor, and I haven't avenged him so far. I... I Really disrespectful..."

When mentioning this matter, her lacquer-like eyes filled with tears. Shen Yun watched Tang Zhen die in Su Lianmo's hands with his own eyes. Not knowing how to comfort her, Qi Chenyu stepped forward and pulled Tang Lingling to him. Beside him, while looking at Shen Yun warily, he said: "Lingling, don't worry, as long as we look for it, we can always find that traitor and avenge the sect master!"

"Where are you two going?" Shen Yun asked, changing the subject.

"Yunyun's condition is not very good these few days. I want to go to Wuxia Villa to ask Dr. Xue to take a look." Tang Lingling couldn't hide the worry on her brows. For her, Tang Yunyun is her only relative in this world now. She has to protect her no matter what.

Tang Zhen passed away unexpectedly, there must be some turmoil in the Tang Sect, but Tang Lingling has a lot of connections with the Chen family, so the Chen family will not just sit idly by, and there should be no problem with Qi Chenyu taking care of her.Shen Yun said: "Miss Lingling, be careful all the way."

Tang Lingling asked: "Brother Shen, are you good friends with Master Mu Shaozhuang? He will be getting married in a month. Will you attend?"

Shen Yun suddenly felt a pain in his heart, but his face was still calm: "I have many misunderstandings with Zhuang Master Mu because of the Chixiao Sword, so it's better to avoid suspicion."

Tang Lingling anxiously said: "Didn't those things be explained clearly? What misunderstanding can there be? Brother Shen, don't worry, when I see Uncle Mu, I will definitely intercede for you!"

Shen Yun was grateful for her kindness, cupped his hands and said: "Thank you, Miss Lingling, for your kindness, but I'm just doing these little things, so you don't have to take it to heart."

Tang Lingling took his arm and said, "It's not a small matter. To me, Brother Shen's matter is a big one!" He withdrew his hand sternly, and said with a smile: "I still have important matters to attend to, so I will take my leave first, and we will meet later."

He turned around and left, Tang Lingling was anxious to stop him, but was grabbed by Qi Chenyu: "Lingling, we still have to rush to Wuxia Villa!"

Tang Lingling looked at Shen Yun's figure who was going further and further away, blinked her eyes, and a feeling of wetness appeared: "Brother Shen is always so erratic, I don't know when I will see him next time..."

Qi Chenyu felt very uncomfortable. His feelings for Tang Lingling were known to almost everyone in the entire Tang Sect. Only this person had no heart and only regarded him as a brother and sister since childhood. Day will understand, I didn't expect that Shen Yun would come out halfway, Tang Lingling couldn't forget it in just a few days of getting along, and he had nothing to do except worrying!

Qi Chenyu was very annoyed, and made up her mind to find an appropriate time to confess her feelings to Tang Lingling, lest she really miss this good relationship.Shen Yun led his horse on the mountain road, and when he came back to his senses, he found that he was going in the direction of Wuxi City. He stopped, looked at the winding mountain road under the setting sun, and laughed at himself. Not reconciled, I want to hear that person's answer in person.

Now that he was on the road, he continued to walk down the mountain road without looking back.The sky was getting dark, and the surroundings were in chaos. A flame appeared faintly in the mountains, Shen Yun was startled for a moment, and recognized that it was the mountain temple where he and Mu Yunze met for the first time.

Is it a coincidence, or...

Shen Yun walked there unconsciously, the temple door was wide open, a tall horse was tied under the eaves, the firelight shone through the broken window, and the figure reflected on the wall could be vaguely seen.Shen Yun's heartbeat suddenly accelerated, and he raised his legs and stepped in. The person sitting by the fire looked up at him, with deep surprise on his face, and Shen Yun almost ran over to embrace him in his arms, but Reason held him back, and he stopped at the door, smiling at him: "Long time no see."

He also said this sentence to Tang Lingling during the day, it was out of courtesy and greetings, but at this moment, it was his deepest miss.Mu Yunze was stunned for a long time before he said, "I went to look for you, but your friend said you had already left."

"That's because I have to go, otherwise it will only increase your troubles." Shen Yun looked at him and said quietly.

Mu Yun chose to take a breath, shook his head and smiled wryly: "When did you and I become so unfamiliar?" The firelight reflected his tired face, Shen Yun felt a sharp pain in his heart, and couldn't help walking towards him, their shadows Overlapped together, but still a few feet away from each other.Shen Yun said: "You should know that I never want to treat you like this."

Mu Yunze looked up at him: "Have you heard the news?"

Before that, Shen Yun still had a glimmer of hope. It was just a rumor in the market, not a fact. However, Mu Yunze's words had completely broken his heart, and he couldn't even go to see him anymore.

"Not bad," he replied.

Mu Yunze originally had a lot to say, but he could explain that this was not what he wanted, it was Mu Baichuan's pressure, and Wuxia Villa's responsibility, he had no second choice.But he didn't say anything, because he knew that any explanation or reason could not change the result, let alone change the dead end between him and Shen Yun.

He slowly stretched out his hand and held Shen Yun's hand, pleading in his voice: "Tonight...stay here with me, okay?"

Shen Yun sat down on the spot, he didn't expect that one day, they would become as silent as they are now, Shen Yun sighed deeply, but finally couldn't bear to treat him like this.He turned his head to look at Mu Yunze, just as he met the sad gaze cast on him, his heart skipped a beat, and he whispered, "Yunze..."

"You blame me?" Mu Yunze asked infatuatedly.

"No, you have something to bear, and I have no right to blame you." Shen Yun shook his head and said.Mu Yunze lowered his eyes, his expression was extremely sad under the firelight: "But it is true that I have betrayed you..."

In this matter, Shen Yun was obviously the one who was hurt, but at this moment, he was still comforting Mu Yunze: "You and I are both men, so there is no need to be obsessed like ordinary men and women in the world. You have you I have responsibilities to bear, and I also have things to do." He didn't look sad at all, and even his tone of voice was as calm as ever, and this happened to be the most cruel to Mu Yunze. I can't even tell whether the love between them is true or not.

Mu Yun chose to fiddle with the fire and asked, "Since you have left Wuxi, why did you come back today?"

This may be the last time they sit here like this, Shen Yun doesn't want to hide anything: "For you."

Mu Yunze paused, then turned to look at him: "Then do you know why I appear here?"

Shen Yun lowered his eyebrows and sighed: "For me."

Deep pain floated in Mu Yunze's eyes: "For some reason, I always feel that you will still appear here. While I am looking forward to seeing you, I don't want to see you again. Shen Yun, even if I am here When I misunderstood you grabbing the sword and killing someone, I never changed my mind towards you..."

No matter how hard it was for Shen Yun to suppress the emotion in his heart, he hugged him into his arms and replied in a low voice: "I know."

This embrace once gave him the greatest warmth when he was the most helpless and ugly. Since then, Mu Yunze has been deeply involved in it, and he is reluctant to leave, but now, he wants to push this person away with his own hands. , and even from now on, they can only be passers-by.Mu Yunze's heart ached like a twist, tears blurred the fire in front of his eyes: "I really don't have a second way to go..."

Shen Yun suppressed the pain in his heart, and hugged him even tighter: "Since you have made a decision, go ahead and do it. As for me, you don't have to think about it."

Mu Yunze raised his head, stared deeply into those eyes, with a desolate smile on his face: "You have always been like this, don't ask me why, and you won't force me to do anything."

That's because Shen Yun hoped that he could live according to his wishes, but in the end, he still couldn't escape the shackles of his family's fate.There are too many barriers between them, the difference in status, the worldly vision, the responsibilities that cannot be let go, each one cannot be overcome, Shen Yun may not care about anything, but Mu Yun can't , perhaps this is the biggest distance between them.

Shen Yun finally let him go, with a gentle smile on his face: "Maybe we won't have the chance to see you again in the future, so take good care of yourself."

no chance to see you again...

Yes, they really shouldn't see each other again.

Mu Yunze forced a smile: "You never like to be restrained, so I won't invite you to drink this glass of wedding wine."

"Okay." Shen Yun stood up and said to him, "I still have to hurry, so I will take my leave first."

He didn't look at Mu Yunze again, turned around and left the broken house. Mu Yunze followed him and disappeared outside the door. When he heard the sound of horseshoes in the courtyard, he fell to the ground as if he had collapsed, his eyes dazed. Looking at the beating flames, two lines of tears flowed down.He would not see, just outside the broken window, in a place covered by the night, Shen Yun was looking at him quietly, the pain and reluctance in those eyes were deeper and thicker than the night.

Although they are close at hand, they are far away in the world.
