Fireflies flickered on the mountain path, and gathered into a beam of light in the paper lantern Xiao Heyan was carrying to illuminate the footsteps.

The expected storm did not come, Xiao Baishi followed Xiao Heyan to the mountain stream as he ordered.

On the cliff behind the ten-zhang lotus pond, Fengmanlou stands on the edge of the cliff, and the waterfall is like white water, flying down day and night, just like the Milky Way falling into the mortal world in nine days.

Xiao Baishi seldom came here on weekdays, but at this time Xiao Heyan led him straight up to the tower, and when he climbed up and looked far away, the mist on Cuiwei Mountain seemed to have dissipated, and the candlelight on the peaks could be seen very clearly.

Xiao Heyan stood against the wind and remained silent.

Not knowing what his father wanted to do, Xiao Baishi touched the small goosebump on his wrist that was aroused by the cold wind, carefully identified it for a moment, and suddenly realized that Xiao Heyan was facing the direction of Lanzhu Jiaqi.

The Cuiwei Mountain, which is always beautiful at night, is now dark, only the stars are shining in the sky, and the bamboo house on the top of the mountain is gone from a distance. At first glance, it seems that there is no one inhabited.

what happened?Xiao Baishi frowned.

Immediately afterwards, Xiao Heyan asked abruptly, "Do you know why I came back early?"

"...No." Xiao Baishi shook his head, the other party never intended to attack him, and did not ask Ying Changfeng, his guilt faded a little, and he asked, "The Dao Discussion Conference in Xiji Mountain always lasts for a hundred days. It's only been less than a month..."

"It happened suddenly, Yue Pichuan asked about Ying Changfeng's current situation."

Xiao Baishi's heart was beating alarm bells.

He had forgotten that there were as many as hundreds of sects of both the world of mortals and the Qingxin Dao gathered in Xiji Mountain. As the head of Dongming Temple, the number one sect of Qingxin Dao, Yue Bichuan would definitely run into Xiao Heyan.

Ever since Yue Bichuan personally went to Cuiwei Mountain to dignify people but failed, a consensus has been reached in Jiang Hu, the leader of heaven and earth has completely given up on this former great disciple and doesn't care about his life or death anymore.Although Ying Changfeng has been arranged in various ways these years, most people agree that he is still healthy and has not been tortured out of shape.

After many years of no contact, at this time, the conflict between the Tiandimeng and Hongchen Dao is deepening, how did Yue Pichuan think of Ying Changfeng?

Is it possible to give up that he doesn't pay attention and is just acting?

"The current situation?" Xiao Baishi repeated, "What did father say?"

"I can't tell if he's serious or just joking. Yin-Yang thanked me strangely for saving the life of his valued disciple. It's a silly trick!" Xiao Heyan snorted coldly when he said this, "If it's just like this, I can't possibly pay attention to him , but he mentioned that he should 'guard his secrets'... This sentence is not simple."

Xiao Baishi: "Father thinks he is implying that something has something to do with Mr. Ying?"

Xiao Heyan did not deny it.

Xiao Baishi reminded him again: "There has been no change in Cuiwei Mountain recently."

Xiao Heyan said: "That's natural. Cuiwei Mountain walks upright and sits upright without fear of their slander and slander. Before the Dao Discussion Meeting, there was a slight conflict between the Heaven and Earth League and the small sects of Hongchen Dao. Yue Pichuan suddenly mentioned this matter , I was afraid that Ying Changfeng would really do something that would cause a change in the mountains, so I left early."

Speaking of this, it was still related to Ying Changfeng, Xiao Baishi's originally quiet heart beat faster.

"There are so many disciples in the sect, that's why they came back first without saying hello." Xiao Heyan paused, looked directly into Xiao Baishi's eyes and said, "But I don't want to see you having a good talk with him at the Lanzhu Festival."

Suddenly being pointed out, Xiao Baishi was mentally prepared after the cardinal reported the letter, and miraculously calmed down: "I know it in my heart, I have free time today, and I just chatted with him."

Hearing this, Xiao Heyan raised his eyebrows, and the corners of his eyes immediately glanced at Xiao Baishi sharply, as if he didn't believe it.

Stimulated by this gaze, Xiao Baishi's hands and feet went limp uncontrollably for a moment, trying to keep his sanity from collapsing.His father is a mountain, he has looked up to him since he was a child, and he has never done anything against Xiao Heyan's wishes.

Except for Ying Changfeng.

But now because of Xiao Heyan's "chatting" that he didn't believe in, Xiao Heyan made a move against Ying Changfeng, and Xiao Baishi thought of being a hero out of time, maybe it was an exaggeration, he just wanted to protect Ying Changfeng—he promised my own.

Xiao Baishi explained: "Mr. Ying is a person my father cherishes. He is trapped on the mountain all day long and cannot practice. The days are too long. I have to take two books for him to read. What my father told me should not be said. I haven't revealed a single word to him, and he...he doesn't have that much thoughtfulness. "

"Is that really the case?" Xiao Heyan didn't believe it, and only put away his sharpness just now, and said mockingly, "It seems that I still misunderstood him—but Baishi, he is not someone I cherish."

The back of Xiao Baishi's neck went numb, and he thought: But didn't you say you wanted to spend a thousand years with him, are you also lying?

Seeming to see through his thoughts, Xiao Heyan shook his head and said: "You are the continuation of Xin Yi and me, the child I care about most in this world. Ying Changfeng is just a skin, I made a mistake."

Xiao Baishi didn't understand his sigh-like apology, and he didn't know who he was addressing.

Every time he mentions the name "Magnolia", together with the magnolia flowers that can be seen everywhere in Cuiwei Mountain, he shows 12 intentions everywhere.At this time, Xiao Baishi's nose was sore because of the power of inner alchemy deep in his spiritual consciousness, and he couldn't help thinking: But you are so good at dealing with Changfeng, is it fake, or is it to make up for your regrets?

The past cannot be remonstrated, and Xiao Baishi understands the truth, wouldn't he know it?

But before he could think of an answer, Xiao Heyan faced the dark night and asked him a more serious question:

"Baishi, I know you love Ying Changfeng, right?"

These words were like the first spring thunder that exploded in the ears, and there were stars twinkling in the sky, and the light fell on Xiao Baishi's shoulder in a hurry.His spiritual consciousness suddenly throbbed for a moment because of the word "love", and then he thought confusedly: I want to kiss him, I want to make him laugh, I even feel lust when I see him... Is this love?

Love is not simply liking, possessing, and infinitely tolerant. It has both the strengths and weaknesses of these three, and it magnifies and pulls them repeatedly. It is the most tormenting, and it should be abandoned first.

Xiao Baishi knows that he can still love someone, but can Ying Changfeng do it?

Is it true or false that those words in the arena that he "cuts his heart and mind" are true?

If it was true, what would Ying Changfeng think when he kissed him; if it was false, would Ying Changfeng... Will he really fall in love with someone one day?

This imagination made Xiao Baishi jealous without warning of the person Ying Changfeng would like in the future. He indulged in that kiss. Seeming eyes—these are not true or false, so when he really likes someone, what will he be like?

He didn't answer Xiao Heyan's question for a long time, but the other party already knew it in his heart.

Xiao Heyan took a step forward and pressed Xiao Baishi's shoulder.

He thought that this was the punishment his father said, and the anxiety in his heart suddenly fell to the lowest point, and he was able to muster up the courage to meet Xiao Heyan's action, nodded and said: "Yes."

This time it was Xiao Heyan who was stunned, Xiao Baishi said again: "I adore him, father, it has nothing to do with him."

"It doesn't matter?" Xiao Heyan approached him, almost gritted his teeth, and asked, "What if he wants to use you? He seduces you, deliberately turning father and son against each other? Have you ever thought about it?"

Xiao Baishi said eagerly: "I won't!"

"I didn't mean that." Xiao Heyan returned to the original place, stretched out his hand to comfort Xiao Baishi and said, "But Ying Changfeng is not an ordinary person, can you really guarantee that you can understand his thoughts like the palm of your hand?"

"..."

Xiao Baishi turned his head away, and thought to himself: As long as I don't lie to him, even if he does lie to me, he will feel guilty.

This silence made Xiao Heyan think that he couldn't keep up with the conversation, and took advantage of the victory to chase after him: "If he knows how much you like him, it will only become your weakness. Because Ying Changfeng won't like you like this."

Compared with the convincing teachings, the firm and earnest words later made Xiao Baishi feel like he was struck by lightning.He stood there blankly, even though he had thought about this possibility, saying it through the third person's mouth at this moment was even more sad than how Ying Changfeng would reject him after he had rehearsed hundreds of times.

"...Really?" Xiao Baishi murmured, "You don't like me."

But he is not a thousand-year-old cold jade who can't be warmed no matter how hard he tries. He is warm when he holds me, he can laugh, and he can use a little gift to tease me insignificantly...

When he was with him, Xiao Baishi would undoubtedly be immersed in boundless happiness.

So how can you not like it at all?

Xiao Heyan said coldly: "You don't understand Ying Changfeng at all. All he cares about is swordsmanship, the supreme ultimate of swordsmanship, it's the same in Lihuo Jianmen, and it's also the same in Dongmingguan——Baishi, you forgot that he is a person of Qingxin Dao For him, the word 'love' is a defilement of the original heart, and it is self-willing to degenerate!"

A few words attacked his heart one after another, and Xiao Baishi was so ashamed that he couldn't believe that all the details between the two were irrelevant to Changfeng.

Since it is irrelevant, why did he do this?

Never really believing in Xiao Heyan's words in his heart, Xiao Baishi nodded weakly, still unable to get any more lost, and whispered: "I know, father, I won't...I won't do anything to him."

"Keep an eye on everything, Baishi." Xiao Heyan looked towards the silent training ground in the lotus pond ten feet away, "It's better to betray others than to give up your sincerity easily."

"..."

"Ying Changfeng is not worthy of your liking."

That night, Xiao Baishi returned to Yunzhongji in a daze.

Chi Bao was half asleep in the yard, and when he came back, he hurried forward to greet him.He stroked the fur of two red leopards, sat slumped in the rattan chair in the courtyard, and took out the simple stone from his arms.

Because of the spell, the surface of the stone quietly shone like a pearl.

Xiao Baishi held it carefully and put it on his eyelids. The icy moistness penetrated into the depths of his spiritual consciousness without a sound, and then it was wrapped in a faint flame and melted quietly in an unknown place.

Until Xiao Baishi couldn't feel it anymore.

"No..." His sanity was unprecedentedly clear, he didn't care about himself at all, he only thought in fear, "Father is sure that Yue Bichuan's words imply that Ying Changfeng has become his internal agent in Cuiwei Mountain. If nothing happens in the future, once If there is a disturbance, he will definitely be killed by his father... a little suspicion now hurts him seriously, and then his life will definitely be in danger!"

A voice asked indifferently: What if Ying Changfeng really only wanted to use you and harm your father?

He put all his affection and love behind him, regardless of how fierce his love for Chang Feng was, he hugged the red leopard, as if facing it, and talking to himself:

"He won't, I'm sure he won't."
