The sound of shattering porcelain naturally also called back Shen Lian's attention.He stood up, wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes casually, and stood behind his master again, humbly like a shadow.

Yu Ling'er frowned slightly, her bright almond eyes lingered on Shen Yanye and the sword spirit in red behind him, with complicated emotions.

She knew that Xuanji had something to visit Shen Yanye today, so after finally waiting for Xuanji to leave, she couldn't wait to come to Shen Yanye's welcoming house for guests.Because of the angle, she didn't notice the tears on Shen Lian's face, but she saw Shen Yanye's movements clearly.

The sword spirit in red knelt in front of Shen Yanye, looking up at his master.And the boy reached out and stroked the corner of his eyes lightly.Looking at it from the girl's point of view, Shen Yanye still didn't have much expression on her face, but there was a bit of emotion and pity in those eyes that were like deep pools.

She never thought that Shen Yanye, who has always been emotionally indifferent, would show such an expression, his gaze was like the thawing spring breeze.

"Ling'er, are you alright?"

Shen Yanye's calm voice came through, and he looked at the girl with a deep and calm gaze, as if the fleeting tenderness before was just her illusion, but the girl understood that she was not mistaken.

"...Well, I'm fine. I'm sorry..."

Yuling'er lowered her body and began to pick up the debris on the ground.For some reason, she felt extremely uncomfortable.

Those fragments were extremely sharp, but she actually picked them up with her hands.Fearing that she would get hurt, Shen Yanye stopped Yuling'er and called a maid to sweep away the debris.

"Ling'er, what do you want me to do?"

Facing this girl who had a face similar to his childhood sweetheart, the corners of Shen Yanye's lips slowed down a bit.This was Yu Ling'er's most familiar look, and she has always cherished those expressions that Shen Yanye would only show when she was with her, and always thought that they were her treasures.But now, when she saw the expression he showed to the sword spirit, she realized that what she treasured was far from all of Shen Yanye.

The girl felt a little bitter in her heart, but in front of Shen Yanye, she still cheered up and showed a lovely smile, as if the weird atmosphere never existed before.She ran forward, stretched out her hand to grab Shen Yanye's sleeve, and said with a smile:

"Shen Yanye, Junior Sister Yunxi just came back from the market in Lancang City, she said that there are many interesting things there! I also want to go and have a look, can you accompany me to have fun?"

In fact, he is the suzerain of Taiyi Sword Sect, and she is the core disciple. As long as they want the so-called "fun" things, they don't need to go out in person.The reason why she said that was because the young man was too tired.When he left Qianling Peak, his only destination was the Qingxu Hall on Tianyun Square, where he and other elders discussed matters.And when he returned to Qianling Peak, his only activity was to practice magic formulas and swordsmanship in the back mountain.

Therefore, the girl made this request not only because she wanted to go out with the boy, but also because she hoped that he could relax a bit and not make herself too tired.She knew that Shen Yanye had always pushed herself too hard, so she was afraid that his body would reach its limit when it shouldn't.

"Lancang City?"

As a former reader of "Sword Master", the name Shen Yanye is not very unfamiliar.Many cultivating sects are located in the center of the whole world, where the land veins are criss-crossed, so the aura is abundant, suitable for establishing sects.

And on the edge where the aura is relatively thin, it is the mortal world where ordinary people live.They are led by a mortal monarch, they work at sunrise and rest at sunset.The monarch of the world was afraid that the monks' overpowering magic power would overthrow the regime and destroy the country in an instant, so he made a contract with the monks and never interfered with each other.

But Lancang City is located in the area before the mortal world and many sects of cultivating immortals. It does not belong to any immortal sect, but it is not under the jurisdiction of the monarch of the world, so many monks live there with ordinary mortals.

In order to prevent self-disturbance of people's livelihood, monks are forbidden to use the technique of flying into the sky and escaping from the ground.Therefore, no matter how much blood feud the two monks had, when they arrived in Lancang City, they had to put down their weapons and stop fighting.

And there is a floor in Lancang City called Qianji, where many monks often sell the rare treasures they brought back when they ventured into the secret realm, and sell them in Qianji.

Generally speaking, Shen Yanye probably directly refused such invitations that had nothing to do with cultivation, but this time he actually showed a thoughtful look on his face, which surprised Yu Ling'er a little.She tugged at Shen Yanye's sleeve and shook it, saying:

"My lord, you know how to practice every day. Are you tired? Junior Sister Yunxi said that there are a lot of elixir, spirit stones, and magic tools for sale in Qianji Building recently!"

But under the girl's expectant eyes, Shen Yanye sighed softly, and said: "For these interesting things, you can call a few seniors and sisters who are close to you to go and have a look together. I still have some things to ask deal with."

"Oh... Sure enough, I knew it was like this." Yu Ling'er sighed exaggeratedly, then pouted and said, "You know that cultivation practice is really boring. But...forget it, you don't want to go , I will not go, I just wanted to drag you out to relax..."

"Thank you Ling'er for your kindness. I failed you."

Clever as a jade bell, why can't he hear his overtones.

The girl looked at him, and the smile on her face disappeared in an instant.

Shen Yanye originally thought that Yu Ling'er would lose her temper and even beat herself up.He wanted to just bear the girl's anger like this, but he didn't expect that Yu Ling'er was not angry, but only showed a sad expression.

"...It doesn't matter, brother. If there is nothing else...I'll go first."

Then, without waiting for Shen Yanye to speak, she stumbled out of the gate without looking back.

Shen Yanye quietly looked in the direction where Yu Ling'er disappeared.After the delicate shadow disappeared from his field of vision, he lowered his eyes and sighed softly.

"Master, Miss Ling'er's suggestion is very pertinent. I told you before that you don't have to pursue progress too much, you can go out for a walk."

Shen Lian's voice came from behind him.Although his words were not very favorable, his tone was still respectful.

"Lancang City is indeed worth a visit." Shen Yanye said, "Do you want to see it?"

"I'm ashamed to say... Although I have devoted thousands of years to the human world for Lord Zhongyuan, I have never been to these places related to the mortal world. If possible, I would naturally like to visit." Shen Lian smiled. , and then remembered something, "...Wait, you think Lancang City is worth visiting? Then why did you reject Miss Ling'er?"

After a pause, the sword spirit said somewhat uncertainly: "...Moreover, Miss Ling'er seems to have admiration for you. If you reject her like this, she will be sad."

"Admiration? Can you see it?" Shen Yanye raised his eyebrows, "I always thought that you only know the six desires of people, so you can lure those with evil intentions to destruction, but you don't understand the seven emotions of people. .”

"I have seen it in the human world for thousands of years, and I know something. It's just that I have never experienced those emotions, so I don't understand it."

As Jian Ling said, he only saw the young man's smiling face the moment he raised his eyes.It has to be said that when he was by Shen Yanye's side, he did experience some emotions that he himself had never experienced before.Before that, he didn't know that his heart could still be filled with such strange but warm feelings. He didn't know what these feelings were...

"All warm emotions, collectively, are the seven emotions of human beings, and they are also various forms of 'love'."

"But, you said before that to love someone is to protect someone..." Shen Lian looked at him intently, but doubts flashed in the depths of her eyes, "I always thought that emotions and desires are human instincts and desires. *, and instinct and *... are not good things after all, so they shouldn't make people feel warm."

"Because love has two sides. It has a good side, which is protection, and a bad side, which is possession and destruction. Moreover, love can become a weapon and can hurt people. People are also extremely fragile because they have love. It is easy to be controlled. If you are hurt by someone you love, the wound will be hard to heal." Shen Yanye said softly, "Like Ling'er. I hurt her, maybe she will be sad now."

"Since she loves you, why do you reject her and hurt her?"

"Because love requires mutual giving from both parties, and I can't give back to her with the same enthusiasm. I can only hurt her and be a sinner. ... And the long-term pain is worse than the short-term pain. She is still young, and she should be able to meet her in the future." Someone who can relate to her."

"Mind-to-heart connection?"

"Yes. Both sides appreciate each other and become close friends. They regard each other's happiness as happiness and each other's pain as pain. If the other party is in trouble, even if one dies, we must save the other party from the fire and water regardless of the danger. "

"It's a beautiful relationship. Although it will hurt people, if you keep fearing that you will be hurt and lock your heart, you will not be able to appreciate its beauty." Shen Lian said thoughtfully, "But why do many people Say, 'Love breeds hate'?"

"Shen Lian, I hope you will never understand the meaning of the words 'hate because of love'." Shen Yanye smiled, "Because I always feel that the sword spirit who is the sword of the fire sword loves and hates so much. That person will definitely be tortured by you until he is out of shape, and his end will be extremely miserable..."

"I will never love anyone but you."

Seeing Shen Lian's serious expression, Shen Yanye didn't bother to correct him, anyway, he had already "confessed" once before, and it would be okay to do it again.

"Really? Then I have to be careful. In order to prevent you from loving and hating me, let me think about how to please you." He pretended to be thinking, "By the way! Since you have never been to Lancang City If so, how about we go and see?"
