snatch the fox

"The good things found in Ghost Lord's house are said to be what you have been looking forward to for a long time...I used them."

Shen Linyan raised his eyebrows, and unconsciously shifted his gaze slightly: "Do you think I'm so easy to deceive, Xie Linyuan."

"Whether it's true or not, we'll know in the future...I just came here to tell you that there is no end between us."

He didn't move, quietly waiting for the man to get up and pull the door bolt...

"Well!"

When Xie Linyuan fell down, he didn't even think about it. When he realized it, he had already helped someone to settle on the couch. He quickly took a towel and dipped it in water to wipe off the sweat on Xie Linyuan's forehead. .

——Are you sure you really want to find it?

--Yes.

——I heard that the thing is very strong. After all, changing the body is tantamount to defying the sky. Once you take it and do something, you will have to reshape it in a few hours. The process is more tossing than rebuilding the muscles and bones. Are you sure? ... Can you stand it?With your body, I can see it~

——It was me who lost my life, what are you afraid of?

——Forget it, as long as you find a millennium-cultivated inner alchemy to help you shape your shape, the process will be more painful, and you can pass it by gritting your teeth, and you can still save your life.

But now, he was the one who took the pill.

Now, the only words that come to mind are dumbfounding. Anyone in this world who eats this food will not find it strange, but...it is Xie Linyuan!

The feud between the Yu clan and the Fox clan has been going on for a long time, and he doesn't understand why this person can be so persistent. After a hundred years, he really never cared about his fellow clan's thoughts?

He didn't know if Xie Linyuan's cultivation could make it through.

While hesitating, a hand that seemed to be soaked in ice water grabbed him and pulled him over. He still looked at him with a strong gaze, and with a hoarse voice, he gritted his teeth and said:

"I know, this thing...you prepared it for that Pei...but I won't let you get what you want...I ate it myself, and this child...can only be the two of us...Look at you Back... how to escape!"

With a muffled snort, Xie Linyuan frowned and passed out, his breath was so weak.

After a while, the surroundings were extremely quiet, the person on the couch seemed to have passed away for a moment, only the twisted twists and turns under the skin showed the shocking changes in his body.

He looked at the person in front of him with a complicated heart.

Without the overwhelming dominance he once had, at this moment he unsuspectingly showed everything, including his weaknesses and his life, in front of him.

It was the first time he saw Xie Linyuan like this, he was as quiet as a noble crane.

Elegant, unattainable, yet extremely fragile.

If he was left alone, within a few hours, perhaps lying here would be only a handful of ashes blown away with the wind after the failure of transformation and shaping, the mutilated soul, even reincarnation is an extravagant hope.

But if he saves him...

By coincidence, he opened his mouth and spit out the fox beads that the fox clan regards as life.

The fox beads are dazzling, covered by red flames, reflecting Xie Linyuan's pale face, like the morning glow, full of vitality.

He thought to himself, even if there is this child, he and him are always people in two worlds.

He can walk his path towards power by any means, and even the flesh and blood of his closest relatives who stand in front of him can be sacrificed.

As for Shen Linyan, he only longed to live in seclusion in the mountains and forests, and to be a passer-by for ordinary people who traveled all over the mountains, rivers, lakes and seas, all he wanted was to stay aloof from the world.

Giving up and begging, he felt like a fish and a bear's paw, and Xie Linyuan's choice, he should have understood from the beginning, it should not be a fluke, and it can't be a fluke.

When Shan Dao rescued this person, he didn't think too much, so naturally he wouldn't get involved too deeply.

If it wasn't for Gui Jun's words that made him hope for this magical pill, why would he have such perverted thoughts?

Originally, he wanted to get close to Xie Linyuan, steal his thousand-year inner alchemy, and help himself swallow the elixir that the ghost king was looking for, but he didn't expect that in the end...it would be such a situation.

If it wasn't for this covetous pill, maybe he wouldn't have provoked this person, and the entanglements that followed would not have happened.

If it wasn't for him not always being able to see clearly the things behind Pei Yunzheng's ambiguous attitude, why would those reckless and absurd actions come about?

In vain, Shen Linyan tasted all kinds of herbs and poisons in the world, but he could no longer find the medicine of regret, which relieved this deep-seated Gu.

"Xie Linyuan, if I really want to do something, no one in this world can stop me...and neither can you."

The crimson red light flourished, and the restrained red flame turned into a bead, which submerged into Xie Linyuan's heart with a soft halo, and the red light that filled the room instantly disappeared without a trace.

He took a few steps back abruptly, grabbing the back of the chair beside him with his backhand to barely stabilize his figure.

Clutching his empty heart, he didn't take another look at the man on the couch who had regained his complexion. He desperately wanted to keep everything that had passed away. His face was pale and pale, and even the thin wrists at the bottom of his sleeves began to blur the outline. Hastily pulled off the sleeve robe to cover up.

Simply, the cultivation base of these years is still there, so it won't lose the ability to transform so quickly.

The fuzzy outline became clear after a while. Facing the moonlight, he looked at the recovered palm and closed his eyes lightly.

After a long time, the tired eyes slowly opened, the bright color at the bottom of the eyes was like the water on the surface of the lake, and it was eerily quiet.

The figure of that person was much taller than him, and the brocade quilt he usually used couldn't be used, so he had no choice but to take off his outer robe and cover that person.

After walking behind the screen, he changed into a robe, thought for a while, rolled up his sleeves and took a pen to write down something on the paper, then packed it into his cuffs.

Finally, he blew out the candlestick on the table, turned around with a sullen face, opened the door and left.

……

"Respect... respect!"

Xie Linyuan woke up sweating profusely, looked around blankly, and found that the person was no longer in the room, his eyes turned cold, and when he was about to look outside, he saw that the red gauze satin covering him was very familiar, and there was that person on it familiar breath...

His robe?

At this moment, the door creaked open.

He couldn't suppress the complexity and anxiety in his heart, but he spoke in an extremely indifferent tone, "I'm tired."

After so many years of chasing, even if that person completely forgot the right and wrong of the previous life, even if the red line without fate was forced by all means from Yuelao, his palm still held nothing in the end.

But he still couldn't let go of that lonely figure that was used to being alone, but couldn't hide it.

The figure who never paid more attention to him...

Unable to catch up, and unable to let go, he was tossing so hard that he could never return to the watery state of mind he used to be.

"Hey, he's not with you?"

Xie Linyuan raised his eyes slightly, and fell on the strange face of Gu Xiuyun who came in through the door, his heart trembled and sank suddenly.

"he's gone?"

Gu Xiuyun, on the other hand, looked calm and lazy, and poured a cup of tea and sipped it full: "Don't worry, he is a big man, and he is afraid that he won't know the way back? He will definitely see someone before dark... ...Hey, hey! What are you doing? You can't move around in this situation, okay?"

"...What did he tell you?"

Gu Xiuyun rubbed his nose, glanced at the hem of his shirt which was pulled up by the other party, and coughed dryly to cover up his embarrassment:

"Yeah, I didn't say anything. He put the fox-flavored Shikigami on and sent a message. He just wanted me to take care of you. You can't waste the things that were originally prepared for him, right?"

"..."

"Furthermore, after all, the medicine Gui Jun was looking for...was given by me~ who knew that you..."

"..."

"Hey! Come back..."

……

"Hey~ What kind of lady is this, can't find the way? Brother, how about I take you back~"

He gave that person a very cold look: "Open your eyes and see clearly, Master is a woman?"

A neatly wrapped pack of traditional Chinese medicine was thrown towards the man's face. It seemed that he failed to wake up the drunk dude, but instead became more and more arrogant.

"Is it true that the nose is still on the face? If I don't teach you a lesson today, little girl, I will use your surname backwards! Little ones, give me a hand!"

"Just because you... want to touch me?"

"We wouldn't dare to do this in normal times, but now..." The dandy who was approaching suddenly lowered his voice, "If you are handed over to the superiors and used as a means to threaten the Fox Clan, do you think the Fox Clan will swallow it?" Exchange hostages with our Yu Clan?"

As soon as the man finished speaking, he saw a burst of brown mist blowing towards his face, his strength was emptied in an instant, and a string of medicine bags fell to the ground and scattered all over the floor.

"No matter how majestic you were in the past, how brave you were in fighting with one enemy a hundred, now you can only listen to me obediently? Mr. Shen, my master would like to ask you to explain~"

He only managed to tear off a small piece of the leather mask on the other side.

He-haired and childlike?

"Crash" a bucket of ice water woke him up.

He shook the ice water all over his head, and looked up at a corner very keenly.

"Since you're here, why bother to hide?"

The jailer who was guarding respectfully at the back kicked him on the waist very rudely, and he resisted half a word, still hanging there calmly, not like a prisoner, but staying out of it like a bystander.

With that calmness and self-restraint, even the jailer who has been serving sentences all year round can't help but look sideways.

There was a burst of sneering from the corner, and then, a handsome man with profound features walked out.

The clothes are extraordinary, the eyes are contemptuous, and the mannerisms all show good aristocratic etiquette and temperament.

He is either emperor or noble, with an outstanding status, and his identity can be recognized at a glance...

"Come here, untie Mr. Shen. After tidying up, let's talk in the front hall." The moment the fan handle raised his chin, the other party's eagle-like gaze came in sharply.

"Justifiable" threat?

The shackles that imprisoned his wrists were untied, and he coldly waved the folding fan against his chin that was obtrusive to the eyes. After passing by that person, he felt no curiosity or nostalgia at all.

"If you want to ask about the Fox Clan's city defense and array arrangement, I'm sorry Shen has no comment."

"That's really unfortunate, what I'm interested in today is not this~"

Shen Linyan frowned: "You people of the Yu clan arrested me, apart from the fact that the Fox clan can take advantage of it, what else is there to be interested in?"

"With just three words, Shen Linyan, there are so many things that can be used~"

In the corner, his eyes slowly swept across the master of the Zhang family standing there respectfully, and the playboy's light shirt that he hadn't had time to change.

Master Zhang's family turned out to belong to this guy?

No wonder he made such a weird invitation yesterday, even at the expense of using his own daughter... It turned out that someone was behind the scenes.

That's all, everyone has their own difficulties, he doesn't want to be distracted and worry about it.

After barely tidying up, he silently let those guys apply herbal medicine to the wound, took the clean clothes and changed them himself, and then was led to a hall, and sat opposite the table under the sign of the man.

"My surname is Xie, Xie Qingtan."

His surname is also Xie?

It is the territory of the Yu Clan again...

Shen Linyan lowered his eyes, playing with the tips of his nails that had been cracked a long time ago: "My lord, you don't have to turn the corner to talk. If you want to use me to restrain Xie Linyuan, you don't have to."

"How to say?"

"Xie Linyuan has always thought highly of himself. How could he care about a guy who is like a toy to him? It's useless to advise you not to waste your efforts."

"How about we make a bet?"

"Shen Mou has nothing in his sleeves, I wonder what else Shen Mou should care about?"

"How about betting on Xie Linyuan's heart?"

"Heart?" He couldn't help sneering, "Xie Linyuan has never had a heart, all he has is to conquer others and obey him... That's right, wolf ambition, it's not an exaggeration to say so."

Xie Qingtan looked at him meaningfully, tapping on the table with his fingers.

"You are not curious, what is the relationship between me and Xie Linyuan?"

"Not interested in."

"..."

"how?"

"This Xie Linyuan's taste is really strange, how could he just fall in love with..."

Shen Linyan snorted extremely coldly, and said lightly, "Say so much, but it's just a threat to me. How can it affect him? It's better to find another way."

"I can never make a mistake when looking at people, especially in your previous life..."

past life...

He looked away in disgust, and interrupted: "Aren't you afraid that something will fall into his hands? I advise you to do things, don't be so conceited ~ finding the right person can get twice the result with half the effort."

"I do things, and it's not my turn to criticize others!"

I don't know that sentence offended him, Xie Qingtan suddenly lost his smile, put away the folding fan in his hand, and threw it on the table in front of him with a "snap", his eyes fell on the corner of the room unconsciously, his face was cloudy, he didn't know what he was thinking .

He followed his line of sight and found an old small medicine basket standing extremely abruptly in the corner of the room. The edges of the sharp rattans were almost smoothed. Many old rattans were obviously faded, but the surface was very rough. Clean, obviously wiped down frequently.

Especially the way of weaving rattan...

Shen Linyan's eyes flashed, and there was a little more clarity in his heart.

Is Xiang Zhuang's sword dancing aimed at Pei Gong?

"Okay, I bet."

Xie Qingtan came back to his senses, and the corners of his mouth that returned to a smile flickered strangely: "Think about it clearly, the price is not low if I paid Xie Qingtan's bet."

"Nature~"
