Take a Sigh

Zhuo Ran gave up the room to Shen Zhuo, the shopkeeper was a man of good fortune, and regardless of the grievances between Shen Zhuo and Dan Xinzong just now, he ordered the waiter to clean up the room, and at the same time called Shen Zhuo to have something to eat in the lobby. Drink some tea and take a rest.

As soon as Shen Zhuo moved, the monk hurriedly got up and followed Shen Zhuo.He could see that he really hugged a thigh this time, as long as he behaved well, he might be able to walk sideways when he went out in the future.

The shopkeeper didn't care when he saw that Shen Zhuo didn't speak. When his eyes wandered, he realized that there was another person beside Shen Zhuo, and seeing Shen Zhuo's attitude, he was very respectful to this person, not an ordinary fellow.

The shopkeeper was surprised, but he didn't say anything. He turned around and asked the waiter in the shop to treat him well.

Shen Zhuo's emotions were not recovered, and he didn't speak after he sat down, but the monk started to condemn Dan Xinzong's crimes knowingly, dancing and dancing, filled with righteous indignation, as if he was a heroic and chivalrous man seeking justice for the people of the world.

Shen Zhuo ignored him, but Ling Shuangxue took a look, patted Jiaojiao's back, and fed it a piece of raw meat specially sent by the shopkeeper.

The smell of blood woke Jiaojiao up, it acted coquettishly in Ling Shuangxue's arms, turned over and jumped onto the table, swishing its big tail while gulping down raw meat.

Wild beasts are inherently wild, even if they are reduced in size, they cannot speak the same language as domestic cats.The monk noticed that the little leopard was smooth and smooth, and his fur was soft, and he knew it had a lot of background at a glance, and greed flashed in his eyes.

He pretended to be surprised and stretched out his hand to get close to Jiaojiao, and said with a smile: "This little beast looks like a snow leopard, are you two from the snowy region?"

Jiaojiao is only coquettish to her master and master, and she is not so weak in the eyes of others.Before the monk's hand could touch it, he was whipped by it.Jiaojiao bared her fangs and let out a growl, her big watery eyes showed a ferocious expression.

The monk quickly withdrew his hand and smiled awkwardly.

Seeing this, Shen Zhuo was slightly displeased.It just so happened that the shop waiter came to tell them that the room was packed, and Shen Zhuo was going to take Ling Shuangxue upstairs.

"Fellow Daoist, you and I are neither relatives nor relatives. We met by chance, so let's say goodbye."

The monk stood up, but Shen Zhuo stopped him to speak clearly.He didn't need the monk to reciprocate, and he didn't want to get involved with the monk. The monk was tired because of him, so he saved the monk's life.

The monk paused, wanting to play an emotional card and use his experience to gain sympathy.But Shen Zhuo was unmoved and walked cleanly.

The waiter at the shop stopped the monk at the right time, and made a motion to ask him to go.

They have never seen such a big storm in their store, and even the waiters can figure out some meaning from the words of the customers.Seeing that Shen Zhuo had no intention of making friends, the waiter in the shop naturally couldn't let people follow him, disturbing the quietness of the guests.

The monk gritted his teeth resentfully, sensing that other people in the lobby were looking at him with malicious intentions, fearing that they would take the opportunity to make trouble, he walked away in despair.

Crossing the beautiful view of the courtyard with the small bridge and flowing water, you will arrive at Zhuo Ran's room. The environment here is quiet and elegantly furnished, and there are many formations around the room. Guests can put in spirit stones to open it by themselves.

Zhuo Ran only booked one room, but Shen Zhuo and the others were two of them.The waiter explained that the inn was full recently and there were no spare rooms, so the two were wronged and stayed for one night for the time being.

The room in the inn is spacious, and it is a suite, so there is no problem for two people.Shen Zhuo thanked the waiter, and Ling Shuangxue also let Jiaojiao down to play by herself.

The shop clerk was a sensible person, when he saw that they didn't have any orders, he left first and didn't disturb their rest.

As soon as the people left, Ling Shuangxue took off the hood to breathe, seeing that Shen Zhuo was in a daze with a mask on, she raised her hand to get his mask.

Shen Zhuo subconsciously raised his hand to block it, and after realizing that he was being too aggressive, he took off the mask.He was emotional just now, but now his eyes are still a little red.

Ling Shuangxue looked at him in surprise, and asked, "What's the matter?"

Shen Zhuo shook his head, a little embarrassed: "It's nothing, I remembered something from the past, and I can't help it."

"Because of Master Duan?" Ling Shuangxue hit the nail on the head. Others may not be clear, but from Ling Shuangxue's perspective, Duan Yanchun's actions have been explained: "He recognized you."

Ling Shuangxue seemed suspicious, but her tone was very certain.After all, he is the Patriarch who is in charge of one side of the power, so he has a steady demeanor, and he doesn't care too much about the juniors who have trouble with their children.

Ling Shuangxue looked at him with admiration and was very satisfied.Shen Zhuo looked down at the mask in his palm, his plain face covered his facial features, expression and cultivation, hiding everything behind the pure white, but still couldn't hide the familiarity and bond between close relatives.

"I'm not surprised to be recognized by my uncle, but when I think of Duan Qiu, I feel very sorry. For my uncle, being caught between me and Duan Qiu may not feel good." Shen Zhuo sighed, full of worries.

In Jiang Ling's story, Duan Qiu was called the number one beauty in Taoism, so his appearance and temperament were naturally nothing to say.But once the counterfeit was shot, half of her face was destroyed in the secret realm, and searching all over the world for alchemists was of no avail.

Ling Shuangxue also felt sorry for Duan Qiu, Shi Yuanye had asked Wen Runing before, Duan Qiu's face was destroyed by poison, that thing was extremely corrosive, it crazily destroyed flesh and blood, and could melt people into a pool of blood.Duan Qiu was lucky, if Wen Runing was later, she might have died.

It's hard to imagine how painful and desperate such a delicate young lady is when she is pressed in the darkness where she can't see her fingers, and is surrounded by dripping venom.

Ling Shuangxue put her hands on Shen Zhuo's shoulders, and was about to say a few words of comfort, when she suddenly recalled the strangeness in Shen Zhuo's words, and asked in surprise, "Uncle?"

Ling Shuangxue was stunned: "You call Duan Yanchun uncle?"

Shen Zhuo nodded, and didn't feel that he said anything wrong.His mother is only this elder brother, and he is only this uncle, so just now downstairs, Duan Yanchun was so affectionate to him.This is the unbroken blood relationship between them, truly breaking the bones and connecting the tendons.

Ling Shuangxue was forced to eat a big melon, which was stuffed in her mouth by her apprentice.He carefully recalled all the past events of these years, but he did not find any evidence that the Shen family and the Duan family were related by marriage.

"I remember that your mother's surname is Ye, and she is a casual cultivator, not a child of the Duan family." Ling Shuangxue was sure that her memory was correct. Ye Lanxi was not from the Duan family.

However, in the early years, she, Patriarch Shen, and Duan Yanchun were very good friends. We met in the infancy, and even though each of them became prosperous later, this relationship has not deteriorated.

From an emotional point of view, it is not too much for Shen Zhuo to call Duan Yanchun uncle.

Shen Zhuo realized that Ling Shuangxue had misunderstood something, and his gloomy mood eased a little. He raised his hand to invite Ling Shuangxue to sit down, poured two cups of tea, and explained: "My mother and uncle are brothers and sisters of the same father and mother, there is no doubt about it It's just that my mother's surname is my mother's, and it has nothing to do with the Duan family. In such a big family, she only recognizes her uncle's lineage, and she is half a grandfather."

Ye Lanxi is a well-known female high school hero, and she was a well-known figure in Taoist casual cultivation in her early years.Even if a person like her does not have a strong family background, others will be afraid of her because of her strength.

So Ye Lanxi didn't bother to recognize this relationship with the Duan family, and didn't want to recognize it, so that there were only a handful of people in Taoist sect who knew about it.The rest of the Duan family cared about their rights and interests, so they didn't speak up if they could.

"Master is unfamiliar with the matter of my mother and uncle, but I must have an impression of the matter of my grandfather and grandmother Hui Jian breaking up their relationship. Back then, my grandfather was caught and raped by my grandmother. My grandmother had a strong temper and could not tolerate sand in her eyes. She walked away. At that time, I already had my mother in my stomach, and I brought up my mother alone."

When mentioning the grievances of the older generation, Shen Zhuo's tone was very calm.The matter of my grandfather and my grandmother caused a lot of trouble in Taoism, and people from the two families did not persuade my grandmother to turn around.

Ling Shuangxue, who was so decisive, certainly had an impression. At that time, everyone only joined in the excitement for a while, and didn't know the follow-up. They didn't expect such a development.

"Speaking of which, I was negligent. It is true that no one knows about this matter. It is no wonder that Master is surprised."

When the Shen couple got married back then, the Duan family prepared generous gifts, but they were all given out in Duan Yanchun's own name. Everyone lamented that he was generous, but they didn't know that it was a dowry prepared by him for his own sister.

Shen Zhuo grew up with his parents. Ye Lanxi has always been outspoken about these things. She will tell Shen Zhuo who is a real relative and who is a superficial brother.She wants Shen Zhuo to value love and righteousness, but she will not let Shen Zhuo suffer.

Ling Shuangxue was still thinking about how to deal with the line of the Duan family, but now that she knew the relationship between the two, she was a little dumbfounded.

It's not surprising when you think about it carefully, Shen Zhuo's story is different from the general protagonist who is struggling with all kinds of difficulties.

The appearance of counterfeit goods gave his life a bad start, but he never changed his original intention and never forgot his original intention.This is an accident, but also a test.

"Look carefully, there is indeed some resemblance between your eyebrows and Master Duan." Ling Shuangxue stared at Shen Zhuo's face, and the subtleties that she hadn't noticed before became clear at this moment.

Shen Zhuo chuckled lightly, and said: "Isn't there a saying that a nephew is like an uncle? But to say that I am more like Han Zhou. If we put on the same clothes and stand together, covering our faces, we are always together. Qiu can't tell the difference, let alone other people."

Different appearances have the same temperament and stature. This is what Shen Zhuo and Duan Hanzhou liked to show off when they were young. They knew it and even used this as an excuse to help each other take the blame.

That similarity is like an invisible bond that binds them together. I feel that it is unique between them and no one can replace it.

Duan Yanchun hadn't seen Shen Zhuo for many years, but when he saw a figure similar to Duan Hanzhou in the lobby just now, he knew who it was who appeared in front of him after a little thought.

As if opening the valve of childhood, all memories became clear again.
