Brother, why is he like this?

Shen Lingyuan was awakened by a rustling sound.

He opened his eyes and looked out of the window in a misty state, and saw that the vegetation in the courtyard was growing wildly and rising continuously. There were even green and tender bamboo leaves in several places in the bamboo house, which were still growing at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The scene in front of him made Shen Lingyuan think of only one person.

"Ye Tan?!"

Just as he was surprised, a dazzling light struck.For a moment, Shen Lingyuan felt pitch black in front of him, without light or sound, as if he was in a vast and dark void.When he opened his eyes again, he was already in another room.

There was a tall bronze mirror standing by the window, and beside the bronze mirror was a man in a white coat with wide sleeves, with one hand resting on his forehead, his brow furrowed in pain.

The hanging black hair covered his face, his figure was taller, and his aura was completely different from before, but Shen Lingyuan still recognized it at a glance, it was Ye Tan.

Ye Tan's whole body was wrapped in red mist, and there was a red mark between his eyebrows, almost oozing blood. Hearing the movement in the room at this moment, he turned his head very slowly to look.

The pupils of the eyes covered with a layer of red mist were pale. Shen Lingyuan stared at these eyes, but he had the illusion of staring into the abyss, and he was about to sink into it unconsciously.

Shen Lingyuan felt a little panic and fear for no reason, subconsciously took a step back, and was caught by a cold hand the next moment.

He was startled secretly, struggled a few times without breaking free, and couldn't help shouting: "Ye Tan!"

But Ye Tan didn't answer, and squeezed his wrist harder, just looked at him so firmly, with red mist in his eyes.

What's wrong with Ye Tan?Can he see?Have you entered the Nascent Soul Realm?Is his consciousness clear now, or vague?Did he... recognize himself?

With messy thoughts in Shen Lingyuan's mind, Ye Tan suddenly pulled him. Shen Lingyuan couldn't stand still and fell into Ye Tan's arms. Then he felt his waist was firmly locked by an arm, leaving him nowhere to escape.

Ye Tan lowered his head, resting his chin on Shen Lingyuan's shoulder, his voice was soft and gentle, and there was a bit of infatuation under the cold expression: "Today's brother...is warm..."

The scorching breath blew on Shen Lingyuan's ears, and he tilted his head uncomfortably to avoid it, frowning and thinking: What nonsense is this talking about.

Ye Tan couldn't refuse him and hugged him even tighter, and asked persistently: "Why didn't senior brother speak?" Without waiting for Shen Lingyuan's response, he smiled to himself and said: "It's quiet today, I It’s almost impossible to tell if you’re real or fake.”

Shen Lingyuan was startled, what does this mean?What is true and false?He called me Senior Brother, did he recognize me or not?

"you……"

Shen Lingyuan was about to speak, but Ye Tan suddenly turned his head, and the rest of the words were blurred between their lips.

He put one arm around Shen Lingyuan's waist, and put the other behind his head, kissing delicately and softly, as if embracing a fragile dream.

The cold hairs all over Shen Lingyuan's body exploded in an instant, and his mind went blank.When he felt something licking and kissing his lips, he suddenly woke up, pushed Ye Tan away suddenly, and looked at him in disbelief.

Ye Tan was pushed away, with a dazed expression on his face, and even a little aggrieved, as if he didn't understand why he was rejected by the person in front of him.He took a step forward, scared Shen Lingyuan back again and again, bumped into the window behind him, jumped out, and fled.

Ye Tan subconsciously stretched out his hand, wanting to bring him back, but there was a sharp pain in his head.He leaned on the edge of the table to stand firm, the red marks gradually dissipated, and his eyes returned to clarity.

The bright candles in the room are about to burn out and are blooming their last brilliance. The sky turns from gray to white from near to far, and there is a dazzling golden light at the junction of heaven and earth.

Day will break.

Ye Tan closed his eyes indifferently, waiting for the spiritual power that had been chaotic for a long time, but suddenly opened his eyes and stood up, and even accidentally knocked over the teacup on the table.

A scent of requiem incense was lingering in the room.

……

Shen Lingyuan escaped from the Ancient Mirror School all the way, feeling a mess in his chest.

In front of my eyes, Ye Tan slightly lowered her eyes and leaned over.

It was too close, so close that the two breathed and heard each other, so close that Ye Tan's trembling eyelashes could be seen clearly, as well as the shadow cast by the long eyelash feathers on his cheeks.The lips seemed to have been gently brushed by a feather, and now there was still a trace of strangeness, as if the soft and slightly cool touch was still there.

Shen Lingyuan couldn't help biting her lower lip, trying to erase the discomfort.

I don't know how long I walked, but the sky turned white.Shen Lingyuan's troubled heart gradually calmed down, and she walked towards the bamboo house where she was temporarily staying.

Go back to the bamboo house and wait, and when Ji Shaoyan comes over, he can somewhat inquire about Ye Tan's recent situation.

The sky was still gloomy, and only a vague outline could be seen of this lonely hut in the deep forest.

The bamboo house was not lit, and it looked the same as usual, but Shen Lingyuan stopped outside the door and did not open the door to enter.

There are people inside.

Shen Lingyuan just stopped there, walked in without pushing the door, and left without turning around.Seeing that the sky was about to dawn, the people inside couldn't bear it anymore, and broke out the window.

This person was dressed in black, with a ghost mask covering his face, making it impossible to see his face clearly.

Shen Lingyuan smiled, and said loudly: "My friend, what's the use of visiting late at night?"

The ghost-masked man didn't answer, he hooked his fingers and grabbed Shen Lingyuan.

Shen Lingyuan turned around and managed to dodge.

The ghost-masked man seemed to just want to catch Shen Lingyuan, not kill him, so he didn't do anything cruel, which gave Shen Lingyuan a chance to evade again and again.After a few misses, the ghost-masked man's eyes turned cold, and he used his inner breath when he made a move again.

There is magic.

Shen Lingyuan's eyes were fixed, and he saw that the palm with a strong demonic aura hit his shoulder with it. With a flick of Shen Lingyuan's wrist, a thunder talisman exploded in front of the ghost-masked man.

The ghost-masked man reacted quickly, and stepped back the moment Shen Lingyuan made a move. Even so, he was still disgraced by the blast, and the ghost mask covering his face split in two and fell to the ground.

But Shen Lingyuan didn't recognize the face under the mask.

Fearing that he would be in danger alone at night, Ji Shaoyan gave Shen Lingyuan a lot of things for self-defense, and the Thunder Talisman was one of them.Seeing Xuelan today, Shen Lingyuan realized the danger, so he took it with him.He has no cultivation base, but using the talisman does not require spiritual power, which is suitable for other purposes now.

The mask of the ghost-masked man was blown off, and his face was icy cold, and if he made a move again, he would bring murderous intentions.He took out his saber, the tip of which was shining with cold light, and stabbed straight at Shen Lingyuan.

If it was in the past, Shen Lingyuan would naturally not be afraid of this sword.just now...

He pursed his lips, flicked his cuffs, and pinched the shield amulet again.

I hope I can resist this sword.

Jian Guang had come to the front, Shen Lingyuan raised his hand and was about to sacrifice the talisman, when suddenly there was a sound of people piercing through the air, and a sword came horizontally, blocking the ghost-masked man's sword.

This sword was very stable, no matter how hard the ghost-faced man tried, he couldn't shake it at all.

Shen Lingyuan looked up along the sword light, first the flying white robe belt, and then upwards, Ji Shaoyan's face was frosty, and his eyes were full of cold killing intent.With a flick of his wrist, the long sword easily picked up the ghost-faced man's sword, and the sword tip kept on attacking the ghost-faced man with a tyrannical coercion.

Under such thunderous sword momentum, the ghost-masked man couldn't even move, let alone hold up his sword to resist. He could only watch Senhan's sword energy approaching his eyes, and he was afraid that blood would splash on the spot in the next moment.

"Keep alive—"

Shen Lingyuan shouted.

The momentum of the sword stopped immediately, and the tip of the sword stopped at the gate of the ghost-faced man.The ghost-masked man's throat moved slightly, and he broke out in a cold sweat.

This ghost-faced person is full of devilish aura and is hiding in Mianshan Mountain, most likely it is the devil clan who killed the elder of the Gujing Sect.It's just the blood orchid I saw that day...

Suddenly, I thought of Gao Huan taking over Su Qing when he was in the Demon Realm, and also thought of the scene of Luzhou Changcheng's final death.In the blink of an eye, Shen Lingyuan figured out something, and was about to yell "Quick, knock him out", when Ji Shaoyan retracted his sword and struck out a palm at the same time, the ghost-masked man flew upside down in an instant, breaking several big trees Only then did it stop, falling to the ground in a cloud of smoke and dust, without a sound.

Shen Lingyuan: ...

He gave Ji Shaoyan a complicated look.I thought Ji Shaoyan was an ordinary disciple of the Ancient Mirror Sect, and his cultivation level was not very high, but he didn't expect to be so secretive.

Not long after the commotion from Ye Tan over there stopped, most of the Gujing faction didn’t fall asleep, and the smoke and dust immediately rose up here again. They were sensitive and asked each other, "What's wrong? What's wrong?" Flying over, even the head was startled.

Everyone looked at the ghost-masked man in the mess, and at Ji Shaoyan and Shen Lingyuan who were standing still.

"Shaoyan, what's going on?" Gu Jing's master asked majesticly.

A silence.

Ji Shaoyan, who was always talkative, was silent and didn't speak. Shen Lingyuan could only say by himself: "We encountered a hidden demon in Mianshan."

A stone stirred up a thousand waves, and the crowd of the Gujing faction who were watching suddenly exploded:

"What? Is this the demon clan? The one who killed our elder?"

"It was Ji Shaoyan who caught this demon?"

A disciple came out more and more, came to the ghost-masked man to examine carefully, and shouted: "That's right! It's him! He killed my master, I saw it with my own eyes!"

The head of Gu Jing stared at Shen Lingyuan, with scrutiny in his eyes: "Who are you?"

Shen Lingyuan said with a wry smile: "My name is Zhang Xuanling, and I am a mortal who was injured in Mianshan. This immortal master..." He arched his hands to Ji Shaoyan, "...saved me and let me recuperate in the bamboo house. People just attacked me, and Master Ji saved me again."

Everyone looked at Ji Shaoyan with suspicion. Ji Shaoyan lowered his eyes, not knowing what he was thinking.

The head of Gu Jing glanced at the ghost-masked man, and said to his disciple, "Take it back!"

This was originally a matter of the Ancient Mirror Sect, and if it was confirmed that the elder was killed by the ghost-faced man, he would be executed immediately.It's just that Ye Tan is also in the door right now, and he is running around in Lingxu Continent to eliminate demons, so he has to ask for instructions before making plans.

Turning to Shen Lingyuan again, he said, "Please also ask Mr. Zhang to go back with us."

Shen Lingyuan thought of Ye Tan whom he had just met, his scalp tingled for a while, and he refused in his heart: "Thank you for your kindness, Sect Leader, I really dare not bother you."

Ji Shaoyan glanced at Shen Lingyuan when he heard the words, then quickly lowered his head.

After this incident, the head of Gu Jing was extremely sensitive.As a disciple of the Ancient Mirror Sect, Ji Shaoyan knew how much he was the head of the sect, and it was absolutely impossible for him to solve the monster from the demon world who murdered Elder Jindan by himself. It may be that Zhang Xuanling made a secret move.But this person didn't dare to admit his identity openly, maybe there was something tricky about it.

He couldn't let this person go out alone, and he was afraid of inviting him to his home and bumping into Venerable Nascent Soul who was sitting in charge.So he didn't insist anymore, and just secretly winked at Ji Shaoyan from the sidelines.

Ji Shaoyan had a cold face, unmoved.

The head of Gu Jing gave a "tsk", and respectfully walked up to Ji Shaoyan, and said: "I always think that Zhang Xuanling is weird, you look after him."

Ji Shaoyan ignored him, turned around and left.

Head of Gu Jing: It’s against you.

The author has something to say: Ye Tan: Are you teaching me how to do things?
