Brother, why is he like this?

The next day, Shen Lingyuan went to the Soul Devourer to bid farewell.

Liuyun was originally his spirit sword, and he was very familiar with it.Now he and Ye Tan stood on the floating cloud and said their final goodbyes to the Soul-devouring Beast.

The Soul-devouring Beast was reluctant to let go, and tried his best to comfort him: "Aren't you really going to try dual cultivation? I heard it's very happy."

Shen Lingyuan's face darkened, and the wind brought by Liuyun's swift departure blurred the Soul-devouring Beast's face, and the hair on its body was turned over.

He flew all the way to the place where he had disembarked, and the merchant ship was still there, frozen into ice and integrated with the ice on the surface of the North Sea.

Shen Lingyuan broke through the solid ice around the merchant ship with a sword, and the big ship rumbled into the sea like a beast waking up from hibernation.

He and Ye Tan got on the boat and saw that the warehouse full of goods was still neatly arranged.After thinking for a moment, he took out a conch from his bosom.

The white conch was hummed, and the sound was carried far away.

Not long after, the calm sea water began to surge with undercurrents and waves.

"Whoa-"

Two flood dragons broke through the water, neighing loudly, like a dragon chant.

Seeing that they were indeed summoned, Shen Lingyuan said joyfully, "Please, Brother Jiao, take us to Penglai."

……

Shen Lingyuan took Ye Tan's hand and walked on the streets of Penglai, behind him were the sounds of "tsk tsk tsk" from passers-by.

He wanted to return the merchant ship and its cargo to the owner of the ship, so he asked Erjiao to take the merchant ship to Penglai.But he didn't know anything except that the boss of the boat was from Penglai, so he had to inquire.

Unexpectedly, Ye Tan has not been in contact with people since he was a child, and he resists when he comes to crowded places.Shen Lingyuan had no choice but to hold his hand and walk away.

No way, kid.

But Ye Tan is a child in his eyes, but not in the eyes of others.So the elders and folks in Penglai watched the two big men walking through the city holding hands, and they were amazed.

Shen Lingyuan came to an inn, ignored the eyes of everyone in the hall, and naturally said to the boss: "One room is up."

The boss stopped busy on the abacus and looked up at Shen Lingyuan and Ye Tan.

"One room?" He stretched out a finger to confirm with Shen Lingyuan.

Shen Lingyuan confirmed: "One room."

He added: "My friend is inconvenient."

Ye Tan's eyes were tied with a piece of white cloth, but it still did not prevent him from releasing cold air and low air pressure from the only remaining lower half of his face.

"Oh oh oh." The boss saw that the two were carrying swords, so he didn't dare to ask more questions, and only shouted to the busy guy not far away: "Prepare a room for the two guests!"

"Prepare an upper room...an upper room...upper room...room..." The boss's loud voice spread far away.

Under the weird eyes of everyone, Shen Lingyuan calmly led Ye Tan and followed Xiao Er to the second floor.

Taking advantage of Xiaoer leading the way, Shen Lingyuan inquired: "Have you ever heard of a merchant who lost his merchant ship two months ago?"

When Xiaoer heard this, he became excited: "The guest officer is talking about Boss Yao, right? That guy, he was blowing it out of the blue, saying that he encountered a sea monster when he went out to sea, and it turned the world upside down, and the sun and the moon were dark. Then Two immortals descended from the sky, subdued the sea monster, and took the merchant ship back to the North Sea. Why, the guest officer is interested in this? We still have a lot of legends here, what about immortal immortals and immortal virgins, let me tell you about them?"

Shen Lingyuan interrupted him: "Do you know where this boss Yao is now?"

Xiao Er: "This... I don't know. He said these unreliable things all day long before, and no one believed them. If you say they lost their goods, they lost their goods. Why make up these things? Later, he was chased for debts, so I haven't seen him much."

Shen Lingyuan knew it in his heart.Asked where boss Yao used to live, just arrived at the room, so he ordered Xiaoer to bring some food up, and went back to the room with Ye Tan.

After blocking the sound and sight of the outside world, Ye Tan's tense body finally relaxed.

Shen Lingyuan comforted: "It will be resolved soon, and we will return to Kunlun after we resolve it."

Ye Tan nodded obediently.

The two went to bed early after eating.

They were on the same bed as before. When Shen Lingyuan turned his head, he saw Ye Tan staring at the void with his eyes open.

"Can't sleep?" Shen Lingyuan asked.

Ye Tan nodded.

Originally, Venerable Nascent Soul didn't need to sleep and rest, and if he tried to force it to sleep, he probably wouldn't fall asleep.But Ye Tan is different, he is still a child at heart, and he will fall asleep obediently at night.

Shen Lingyuan suddenly remembered that in Songxueju, sometimes Ye Tan couldn't sleep at night, so he put his hands on his eyes and forced him to close them, then patted his back, and soon fell asleep.

So Shen Lingyuan raised his hand to cover Ye Tan's eyes, and said softly, "Go to sleep, we will go home when we wake up."

He felt Ye Tan's eyelashes brush against the palm of his hand, and his eyes slowly closed.

Ye Tan has been feeling restless today. Apart from not liking the crowd, his head seems to be groggy. From time to time, he will be in a trance, and some strange fragments will break into his mind inexplicably.

It was strange, but it seemed like he had experienced it before. The feeling of not being able to catch the flash of inspiration made him extremely anxious and exhausted.

In his sleep, countless fragments of memories flashed through his mind, and an indescribable feeling went straight to the depths of his soul, as if something he was missing was filled in for a moment.

In the darkness, Ye Tan opened his eyes and sat up, panting heavily.

The cold moonlight fell, falling outside the window like snow that never melted all year round, making him think he was still in Songxueju.

A touch of melancholy welled up in his heart, he lowered his eyes, and wanted to get up, but suddenly found that he was holding someone's sleeve in his hand.Looking down the sleeves, I realized that there is still someone on the bed!

Shen Lingyuan was sleeping on his side facing him, his eyes were lightly closed, the moonlight shone on his flawless side face, and his eyelashes cast deep shadows.

Ye Tan rolled out of bed with a "boom".

The sound woke Shen Lingyuan up, he opened his eyes and saw Ye Tan on the ground, and said with a smile: "Sleeping is so dishonest, why did you roll on the bed?"

As he spoke, he leaned down and took his hand.

The warm fingertips touched the skin on his palm, Ye Tan looked up at Shen Lingyuan, his heart jumped wildly, and his hands retracted as if they were scalded.

Shen Lingyuan's hands froze in the air, and he froze for a moment: "What's wrong?"

Ye Tan said nothing.

The air gradually froze.

Shen Lingyuan squinted at Ye Tan for a while, then retracted her hand as if nothing had happened, and said slowly: "Are you awake?"

Ye Tan didn't understand what Shen Lingyuan meant, but he was indeed "woke up", so he nodded: "Yeah."

The current situation is indeed a bit embarrassing.

Two grown men sleep in one bed.

Hand in hand.

If the Soul-devouring Beast was here, it would jump out and point at Shen Lingyuan's nose and curse: "You really want to double cultivate with your junior brother!"

He has no conscience!

Shen Lingyuan's eyes wandered, and he pretended to be calm and explained: "You were injured by the Soul-devouring Beast before, and you lost a soul. I took care of you..." His voice became lower and lower, a little vague.

He could hear the soul-devouring beast scolding: "Do you need to take care of it on the bed!"

It is true that Ye Tan clings to him every step of the way, and there is nothing he can do about it!

He didn't understand what he said. Fortunately, Ye Tan didn't question or delve into it. He seemed to be more wronged than him. When he got up, he didn't dare to look at Shen Lingyuan. He lowered his head and said, "Brother, rest well."

He quickly flew away through the window.

...the door wasn't locked either.

I don't know where Ye Tan stayed in the middle of the night, and when he came back in the morning, the corner of his clothes was still stained with dew.The two of them were more embarrassed than the other, and they ate breakfast downstairs in silence.

Shen Lingyuan tentatively said: "Do you still remember what happened when you lost your soul?"

Ye Tan shook his head: "I don't remember."

He had been in a daze before, and he didn't regain consciousness until he returned to his body, and he didn't remember what happened in the middle.

Shen Lingyuan breathed a sigh of relief.Can't remember being nice to both.

He briefly told what happened after Ye Tan passed out, and Ye Tan listened quietly.

Shen Lingyuan said: "...That's it. This is Penglai. We will return to Jianzong when we find Boss Yao and return the merchant ship to him."

Ye Tan didn't know what he was thinking, he didn't say yes or no.

After eating, the two found Boss Yao's home according to the address provided by the store's Xiao Er.

The person who answered the door was a woman with a child in her arms. She opened the door a crack, looked at Shen Ye and the two of them through the crack, and asked, "Who are you looking for?"

"Excuse me, is Boss Yao at home?" Shen Lingyuan asked warmly.

The woman wanted to close the door as soon as she heard it: "He's not at home."

"Wait." Shen Lingyuan put Liu Yun across the crack of the door, and said with a smile, "We are here to return the things."

He was aware from the very beginning that someone was still in the house.As expected, Boss Yao was at home. After seeing Shen and Ye, he was very grateful and called him "Bodhisattva".

He was still an immortal before, but now he is a Bodhisattva. Boss Yao verbally promoted Shen Lingyuan and Ye Tan to three ranks.

After returning the merchant ship, Shen Lingyuan felt relaxed, and walked to Penglai harbor with Ye Tan, planning to set off back to Jianzong.

The seaport of Penglai is far more lively than that of Baicheng, and it is very busy with ships of all sizes coming and going.

Shen Lingyuan was about to board the ship when a messenger talisman suddenly appeared in front of him.

It is the communication talisman of Jianzong.

Shen Lingyuan's heart skipped a beat, and she pinched the talisman paper and opened it.

"Lingyuan:

After receiving this letter, return to Demon Realm immediately, and never come to Lingxu Continent again, let alone return to Jianzong. "

The letter was very short and the content was not complicated, but Shen Lingyuan seemed to be unable to understand it, struggling to read every word.

With a trembling hand, the talisman paper fell and burned to ashes in mid-air without leaving any trace.
