The protagonists have golden fingers

After killing Su Xiaoqin, Song Nian's shoulders relaxed.He raised his hand and wiped his face, looking a little pitiful.

Seeing that he had finished killing, Shen Yan raised her head to look at Gu Zhuangcheng with a calm expression, and said, "Let's go to another place to have a look, it would be bad if someone slipped through the net."

Gu Zhuangcheng really wanted to say that if he couldn't even catch those few evil cultivators, then these immortal cultivators could really be remade.

But after thinking about it, there are no absolutes, and if there is a fish that slips through the net, it will be a big trouble in the future.So he nodded and agreed.

Just when the two were about to leave, Song Nian suddenly spoke and stopped them: "Pavilion Master Shen, please stay, I still have a question to ask you."

Shen Yan gave him a strange look: "Say it."

Song Nian stared closely at his eyes, and asked with a bad expression: "Pavilion Master Shen is so confident now, it must be because he has already made a plan from the beginning, how to wipe out the evil cultivators, right?

That being the case, why didn't Pavilion Master Shen disclose it to his cronies in advance to ensure their safety, instead of letting them die in vain? "

Shen Yan was stunned for a moment, and quickly understood - he was planning to settle accounts after the fall, and asked himself to give Song Ge an explanation!

He thought for a while, and asked without answering: "Xiao Nian, do you know that you should be the one who entered the palace?"

Now it was Song Nian's turn to be stunned, but he immediately frowned and said in dissatisfaction, "So what? Pavilion Master Shen meant that I was the one who deserved to die, but my adoptive father stepped in and died instead of me. So am I the one who killed my adoptive father?"

"It seems that you don't know..." Shen Yan sighed, "Song Ge likes Su Xiaoqin, he probably never told you. Otherwise, I wouldn't have kept Su Xiaoqin for so long without dealing with her."

Song Nianru was struck by lightning and took a step back in disbelief: "What did you say?!"

Gu Zhuangcheng was also frightened by this thunderbolt, his eyes widened and he exclaimed in surprise: "Isn't it? Song Ge likes Su Xiaoqin? He told you himself?"

"Otherwise?" Shen Yan couldn't help but rubbed her temples with a headache when she thought of the muddle inside, and finally couldn't hold back from cursing, "This bastard, you won't let me live at any time, even if you die. Leave such a big mess behind!"

Gu Zhuangcheng slapped him on the back calmly, raised his eyebrows silently, and reminded him: The Lord's godson is still here, if you want to scold someone, find a place where no one is around!

Shen Yan slapped his hand away angrily, the many days of running around made him more and more tempered, not to mention the master of mountains and rivers, even if the king of heaven stood in front of him, he would scold him whenever he wanted.

Besides, he thought of Song Nian's young age and felt sad about losing his family suddenly, and because he was Song Ge's godson, he wanted to suppress this matter and save some face for the old man.

Unexpectedly, the little brat was aggressive, and Shen Yan's temper flared up, so he didn't bother to cover it up for Song Ge.

"Su Xiaoqin didn't know us from the very beginning. She came here on her own initiative shortly after the Yunzhuang Pavilion was established."

Shen Yan held onto the pipe with one hand, and with a slight movement of the index finger of the other hand, a little spark fell on the tobacco leaf, igniting a wisp of green smoke, "Song Ge fell in love with her at first sight. It doesn't matter if he escapes, he never thought of revenge."

"Then you don't care?"

"What should I do? I couldn't take care of myself at the time, and later I wanted to bring this matter up, but Su Xiaoqin acted flawlessly during that time. No matter how much I doubted her, I had to produce evidence to convince the public."

Shen Yan squeezed the space between her brows, and exhaled tiredly, "I also persuaded Song Ge, but he always felt that Su Xiaoqin was a doctor, so no matter what, he would maintain a little bit of the essence of "doctor's benevolence", so he believed, always One day, Su Xiaoqin will leave the evil cultivator and become a good person again..."

He endured it, and finally gave Song Nian some face, and didn't call his adoptive father a fool in front of him.

"A hero is sad for a beauty..." Gu Zhuangcheng was quite emotional.

Shen Yan glared at him, and continued to say to Song Nian who was knocked unconscious, "I think you must be regretting now, why did you kill Su Xiaoqin so quickly, right?"

Song Nian pursed her lips, nodded first, then shook her head: "I have no regrets. In any case, she is my father-killing enemy. The adoptive father likes her, that is the foster-father's business, it has nothing to do with me; I and her Enmity is my business, and it has nothing to do with foster father. I'm just... a little surprised."

Shen Yan nodded sympathetically: "Normally, when Song Ge told me that he liked Su Xiaoqin, I felt the same as you."

Seeing that Song Nian still looked devastated, Shen Yan was a little soft-hearted, this is still a child.

He breathed a sigh of relief, half coaxing and half persuading, "Okay, you must be very tired after traveling all the way back to Beijing from the southwest, so go back first. Master Gu and I will go around again."

Song Nianban drooped his head, and replied in a daze: "Okay..."

Shen Yan gave Gu Zhuangcheng a wink, the latter understood, and the two of them left quietly together.

After confirming that Song Nian couldn't hear it, Gu Zhuangcheng couldn't help asking: "Song Ge...do you really like Su Xiaoqin?"

"No, I lied to him." Shen Yan said truthfully.

Gu Zhuangcheng was speechless for a moment, and then said after a long while: "Song Gequan has knowledge, and I think you must be angry. Are you going to slander his reputation like this?"

Shen Yan rolled her eyes angrily, and said: "I didn't completely lie to Xiao Nian. At least what I said, it was true that Song Ge fell in love with Su Xiaoqin at first sight. However, after he learned that Su Xiaoqin was the chief culprit who framed him After that, he just doesn't like it anymore."

Gu Zhuangcheng sighed, and asked again: "Then do you know why Su Xiaoqin wanted to kill Song Ge?"

"It's very simple. What you can't get is always the best. People often regret it after they lose it. These two sentences are always the truth in the world." Shen Yan said casually, "Back when Song Ge tried his best to pursue Su Xiaoqin, he couldn't help it. Being ignored by her. As time goes by, everyone will be disheartened. What's more, Su Xiaoqin's purpose is not pure, and she still wants to frame him. With Song Ge's temperament, how can he turn back? So, when he came back from Shendaomen At that time, she no longer has a good face towards Su Xiaoqin."

"But you didn't give me a bad face, did you?"

"As I said, I really intend to expose Su Xiaoqin's identity, but I need evidence in everything. Even if I am the owner of Yunzhuang Pavilion, I can't say anything without evidence." Shen Yan sighed softly, "Song Ge also knows this, so he never asked me to avenge his grievances. Moreover, this time he entered the palace, it was indeed he who brought it up on his own initiative, instead of Xiao Nian. However, I really didn't expect that Su Xiaoqin would be so reckless , killed Song Ge."

"Did you know Song Nian's identity a long time ago?"

Shen Yan shook her head and replied: "No. At least, I don't know that he is the Lord of Mountains and Rivers, I only know that his identity is not ordinary. You also know that I lived on Qingming Mountain for a while, and Xie Qingming also once I have been trained to be sensitive to spiritual things, so I noticed him as soon as he came.

It's just... I can't see what he is, and I even asked Song Ge in private.It's just that Song Ge didn't say anything. "

Gu Zhuangcheng said: "Then Song Ge must know what Song Nian is. He didn't tell you, probably because he was afraid that you would have a grudge against Song Nian, and he didn't want you to be on guard against that child, right?"

"Who knows? Now that Song Ge is dead, no matter what he wanted to do, you and I don't know." Shen Yan shrugged, not seeming to care much.

Seeing this, Gu Zhuangcheng couldn't help being a little surprised: "Isn't Song Ge your friend? Why are you not sad at all when he died?"

"Everyone is going to die, too much sadness will only let the inner demons take advantage of it, and it will be of no benefit to the journey of cultivating immortals." Shen Yan replied casually, "Besides, how do you know that I have never been sad?"

-

Song Nian went back to Yunzhuang Pavilion alone in a daze.As soon as he stepped through the door, the butler greeted him.

The old man who had been in Yunzhuang Pavilion for nearly 20 years grabbed Song Nian's hand as soon as he saw him, crying, "It's good to be back... It's good to be back..."

Song Nian struggled lightly, but did not break free, so he could only let him pull.The old man's palms are rough, but extraordinarily warm, very similar to Song Ge's palms.

His heart was sour, and he almost shed tears.But he suddenly remembered that he no longer had the right to cry.

He stood in the yard, one hand was tightly clenched by the old housekeeper, and the other hand was raised suddenly, covering his eyes.His eye sockets were sore and astringent, but no matter what, he couldn't shed a single tear.

After a while, he won't even have feelings like "sad and sad".He will become the real "Lord of Mountains and Rivers", not "Song Nian".

For a moment, he would doubt whether his original decision was correct.But soon, he calmed down and stopped hesitating.

This is the path he chose, and he must continue to walk no matter what.The adoptive father is dead, no amount of joys and sorrows in the world has anything to do with him, what's the use of keeping his emotions and desires?It would be better to abandon them in exchange for the power that can be held in your hands.

Thinking of this, his eyes became firm.He sent the old housekeeper away with a smile, and locked himself in the house.

He looked at his room, and the furnishings inside were exactly the same as before he went to the southwest, without any movement.

On the table by the window, there are several pots of jasmine flowers.Due to the nourishment of spiritual power, flowers will bloom in spring and summer, autumn and winter.There is a wind blowing, and the fragrance of flowers is tangy.

Song Nian closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and when he opened his eyes again, all the hesitation and hesitation in him disappeared, replaced by the coldness and firmness of the "Lord of Mountains and Rivers".

"I am the Lord of Mountains and Rivers." He stroked his chest, reminding himself in a murmur, "I was born to be superior."
