Brother, why is he like this?

"Junior Brother Ye, Junior Brother Ye, wake up quickly."

Ye Tan opened his eyes with a voice close to his ears.Mottled green and dazzling blue were in front of him. He closed his eyes hard and then opened them again, and found that he was sleeping on a smooth stone with his arms pillowed on his head, a pine branch extending across his head, clusters of pine needles Still covered with snow.Through the gaps in the branches, one can see the clear blue sky blown by the wind, and the golden sun shining down on the whole body.

He stared at the pine needles for a moment in a daze.

It seems... something is wrong.

He seemed to have had a very long dream and woke up without remembering anything.

The voice whispered next to his ears again: "Junior Brother Ye, why are you still sleeping here? It's your turn to play in the big competition. Everyone is waiting for you. Go to the martial arts arena quickly."

Ye Tan turned his head and saw a disciple wearing an inner sect costume.He stood up following the strength of this man, and was pushed into the martial arts arena by him.There was a lot of noise in the stands, all looking at him and the man in the field.

The man was dressed in Tsing Yi and stood against the light.Ye Tan narrowed his eyes and felt that this person was so dazzling that people dare not look directly at him.

However, Ye Tan just looked at him straightly, feeling the urge to cry.

He took a step forward involuntarily and stood in front of that person, only then did he see clearly that this person was Shen Lingyuan.

Shen Lingyuan stood with his hands behind his back. Seeing Ye Tan's expression in a trance, he couldn't help frowning slightly: "Junior Brother Ye, what's wrong?"

Ye Tan shook his head, and at the same time, a strange feeling rose in his heart: Why is the senior brother so alienated from him?

"That's it, let's start." He said and motioned Ye Tan to draw his sword.

Ye Tan looked down at the sword in his hand.This is a spirit sword, attuned to one's own aura, and will automatically unsheath according to one's own will.However, not the one I'm used to.

However, this is obviously his own spirit sword.Ye Tan held the sword in his hand, feeling a little dazed in his heart.

Shen Lingyuan pulled out Kunwu, and the sword intention brought a frost, pointing at Ye Tan from afar.

Ye Tan raised his temple hair slightly, but the sword in his hand didn't move, he only narrowly dodged when the sword energy swept towards him.

Whispering voices gradually sounded from the stands: "What's going on? Why doesn't Ye Tan make any moves at all?"

"How do you fight this?"

"I heard that Ye Tan of Bixiao Peak formed alchemy at the age of 14, one year earlier than Senior Brother Shen. I have long wanted to see the two of them compete, and they finally matched. This..."

Bixiaofeng?Isn't it Qingxiao Peak?

Ye Tan listened distractedly to the voices from the audience, and when he came back to his senses, he felt a chill on his neck, and Kun Wu's sword tip was already pointing at him with a chill.A deacon nearby said loudly: "Shen Lingyuan wins the fifth round of the No. [-] competition."

Shen Lingyuan had already put away his sword, and gave him a cold look with disappointment in his eyes.

Ye Tan's heart tightened, and he stepped forward to grab Shen Lingyuan's sleeve: "Brother, I..."

Shen Lingyuan took a step back like lightning, avoided his touch, nodded coldly, and flew off the ring.

Ye Tan watched Shen Lingyuan's figure gradually disappearing into the crowd from a distance, and stood on the stage in a daze, feeling sad and sour in his heart.

I always feel...it shouldn't be like this.

The noise from the audience grew louder: "That's... that's it? Is the competition over?"

"Junior Brother Ye is not in the right state today."

"Hey, what's wrong with the state, it's simply inferior to Senior Brother Shen, he doesn't even have the chance to make moves. He's from the Spirit Race and belongs to the Sky Profound Pill, so it's quite a gimmick. I don't think it has any real skills."

Ye Tan lowered his eyes.In the dantian, next to the running golden pill, there is another pill that slowly rotates, exuding majestic spiritual power.

……

When he was seven years old, Ye Tan was sent to Kunlun Mountain by his parents to study art, and he joined Bixiao Peak's sect, but he didn't have much contact with Senior Brother Shen of Cangxiao Peak.For some reason today, he had a strong urge to see Senior Brother Shen.However, he has never dealt with people very much, and now he has wandered outside Songxueju for a long time, and Ye Tan still has no idea how to speak to Shen Lingyuan.

It was late, and the quiet room was lit.Ye Tan looked up at the unlit lantern at the gate of the courtyard, feeling sad.

Shouldn't those two lights be on all night?

Just as he was thinking, the courtyard door suddenly opened, and Shen Lingyuan stood in the shadows and asked, "Junior Brother Ye, are you looking for something for me?"

It seems that he already knew that Ye Tan was standing here.

Ye Tan froze for a moment and didn't answer.

Shen Lingyuan waited quietly for a while, but seeing no movement from Ye Tan, she couldn't help frowning: "If there is nothing wrong, please go back."

Seeing that the door was about to close in front of him, Ye Tan hurriedly took a step forward, stood in front of Shen Lingyuan and said, "It's getting dark, brother, won't you come and light these two talisman lamps?"

Shen Lingyuan:?

He looked up at the lantern on the courtyard gate, wondering why Ye Tan came here to remind himself to light the lamp.However, he lit the talisman lamp casually and asked, "What else is there?"

Under the warm yellow light, Shen Lingyuan's cold expression seemed to soften for a moment.A grievance suddenly rose in Ye Tan's heart, he grabbed Shen Lingyuan's hand without thinking, and asked, "Why is senior brother so indifferent to me?"

The distance between the two was extremely close, and Shen Lingyuan was caught off guard by him.The pure spiritual power flowed from Ye Tan's body to Shen Lingyuan's body, Shen Lingyuan's eyes were filled with red mist, and the veins on his forehead burst out.

Ye Tan didn't know whether he was petrified or something, but he let his spiritual power flow out.Shen Lingyuan shook off Ye Tan's hand suddenly, with an uncertain expression.

……

The flurry of heavy snow can't stop people's enthusiasm at all. The street market is brightly lit and full of people's voices.Dodging a kid playing with a lantern, Ye Tan secretly glanced at Shen Lingyuan who was beside him with a relaxed attitude, and squeezed his fingers quite nervously.

He heard that today is the Shangyuan Festival in the secular world, so he tentatively invited Senior Brother Shen to watch the lanterns last night, but he never thought that Senior Brother would actually agree.It is said to be admiring the lantern, but now Ye Tan is still thinking about the lantern, and only wants to say something to his senior brother so that he can get in touch with him.In his stomach, he wanted to ask Shen Lingyuan why he devoured his spiritual power, but his rationality told him that once he asked, the seemingly peaceful atmosphere would no longer exist, so he had to swallow the question back into his stomach.

So they were silent all the way, and the two walked to the river.There are people on the bank, and the flickering river lanterns sway with the waves of the river.Ye Tan's thoughts moved slightly, and he said to Shen Lingyuan: "Brother, let's go release the river lanterns too."

Shen Lingyuan stopped, but did not answer.Ye Tan followed his line of sight and looked down, only to realize that she had tugged on Shen Lingyuan's sleeve in desperation.He was ready to be thrown away by Shen Lingyuan, but Shen Lingyuan just shifted his gaze to his face again, smiled, and said, "Okay."

The slender eyes, looking sideways, have a bit of vague meaning like an ink painting. He is obviously a gentle and gentle gentleman, but because of this look, he has an inexplicably seductive aura.

Ye Tan was stunned for a moment, as the fireworks above his head exploded in his mind.

The phoenix flute sounded, the jade pot turned light, and the fish and dragon danced overnight.

It was late at night when we returned to Jianzong. In the heavy snow, Shen Lingyuan waved his hand and lit the two lamps in front of Songxueju's gate. The two were silent for a moment, and said at the same time:

"Brother, the weather is cold, you..."

"Would you like to come in and sit down?"

Ye Tan froze for a moment, her heart trembled uncontrollably.Looking up, I saw Shen Lingyuan's eyes were calm, as if he was just saying it casually.After hesitating for a moment, Ye Tan shook his head: "It's getting late, brother, let's rest earlier."

Shen Lingyuan glanced at him with a half-smile, but didn't say anything else. After saying goodbye, he turned and entered Songxue Residence, and the door slowly closed.

Ye Tan didn't return to Bixiao Peak immediately.The wall was low. He stood outside the wall and saw the candles in the quiet room lit up from a distance. He just felt that everything today was incredible. Everything was done according to his wishes, which made him feel a little unreal.

Before he had time to think about it, there were a few sounds of clang and zither coming from the quiet room, and a silhouette playing the zither in front of the desk was reflected on the window lattice.Ye Tan was a little dazed when he heard it, as if he once stood outside the door all night, watching the movement inside the door with worry, and carefully prevented the people inside from finding out.

concern?What is he worried about?

He seems to have forgotten something very important.

……

With a burst of mellow spiritual power penetrating into his body, Shen Lingyuan's chaotic brain gradually cleared up.He opened his eyes with a bang, and found himself lying on Ye Tan's body.And Ye Tan was also sleeping on the ground at this time, holding his wrist tightly with both hands, his face was pale, and a thin layer of cold sweat broke out on his forehead.

Shen Lingyuan was taken aback, and shook him slightly: "Ye Tan!"

Ye Tan frowned in pain.

"Don't worry, you can't die, you should worry about yourself."

Only after hearing the sound did Shen Lingyuan realize the spirit body standing next to the portrait, and also saw the brand new wooden house.The spirit body in flowing clothes turned its back to him, and was looking intently at the man in white in the portrait. At this moment, it let out a faint sigh and turned around.

"Who are you and what did you do to Ye Tan?"

Ruoxu looked at Shen Lingyuan with great interest: "Heavenly demon blood, half human, half devil, interesting and interesting."

Shen Lingyuan's heart skipped a beat, the blood of the demon?Are you talking about me?What does half-human, half-demon mean?

Seeing Shen Lingyuan's puzzled expression, Ruoxu snorted coldly: "Demon world monster, why do you pretend?"

Shen Lingyuan said sincerely: "Although I am a demon, I have never done anything against the law of heaven. Why do seniors keep claiming that I am a 'monster'?"

Ruoxu turned forward in an instant, looking at Shen Lingyuan with a cold look: "Really? Then what are you and Ye Tan doing together? Don't you fancy his spirit body and want to devour his spirit power?"

Shen Lingyuan opened his mouth to refute, but suddenly remembered that he had indeed taken away Ye Tan's spiritual power unintentionally, so he could only frown and said: "I didn't intend to do it. Who is the senior? But it has something to do with Junior Brother Ye?"

This person must be the person who attracted Ye Tan to come here. I don't know what the purpose is, whether it is an enemy or a friend.

Ruoxu narrowed his eyes slightly: "You don't have to care who I am. Whether it's intentional or not, you'll know right away." As he spoke, he pointed at the center of Shen Lingyuan's eyebrows like lightning, breaking Shen Lingyuan's already precarious seal.

Shen Lingyuan let out a cry of pain, and a cold and domineering demonic energy surged out from his dantian, sweeping all over his body in an instant.With his last bit of strength, he left Ye Tan's side, fell to the ground and couldn't stop panting.
