Shen Budu didn't push him away.

Perhaps it was because of the habit formed a long time ago, or maybe the almost crazy joy and joy on the other party's face did not seem to be fake, Shen Budu suddenly had some weak fantasies, hoping that the other party, like Xie Jianhuan, had a reason to attack him.

Although his other half understands rationally, there are not so many coincidences in the world.

Li Xinning hugged him vigorously, breathed in the strange but pleasant smell of his body, choked up slightly and asked: "Senior brother, why are you ignoring me? Do you never want to see me again?"

——When he said that, he had already admitted what happened back then in a disguised form.

Shen Budu's heart sank slightly, with some cold stinging pain, he closed his eyes, and pushed Li Xinning away from him.

He asked, "Then do you need to give me an explanation?"

He thought that the other party would deny and argue, but unexpectedly, Li Xinning looked at him intently, and smiled with tears in his eyes, like a poisonous plant in the dark night, with a thrilling beauty and bewilderment.

"I have imagined countless times that if my brother is still alive, let me confess my crimes [-] times, and I would be willing to be killed by your own hands." He said softly, "Now that my wish has come true, I am grateful to God, so what? will lie to you."

"I did it." He said frankly, "That night, I set up the Tiangang Soul Seizing Formation at the bottom of Guying Peak."

Seeing Shen Budu's stiff expression, he took the initiative to stretch out his hand and carefully grabbed the other's sleeve: "But I didn't intend to kill you, really. At that time, I thought that the Tiangang Soul Seizing Formation would only hurt you, and then you would be unconscious for a while. Time, but I didn't expect later, later..."

Everything he said is true.Although the Tiangang Soul Seizing Array is a frightening killing array, but his senior brother is Shen Budu.

Something must be wrong.He couldn't figure it out no matter what, how could a small formation kill his senior brother?

"Didn't expect me to die later?"

Hearing Shen Budu say that word indifferently, Li Xinning's pupils shrank slightly, as if being pricked by a red-hot needle.

"Is it in your heart that I will never be indestructible, and I will never even die?" Shen Budu asked him, "But even if I don't die, don't you think that I will be injured and hurt if I fall into that killing array?" ?"

The flat tone did not deliberately blame, but it was like a sharp knife and arrow, and every sentence hit Li Xinning's heart, causing him to almost collapse again.

He shook his head desperately while clutching his heavy sleeves, tears flowed across his almost transparent cheeks and gathered on his thin chin, crying so much that he was about to bite his lips.

Even though he was a man, few people in the world would be indifferent to him crying like this.

Shen Budu used to be the same, let alone Li Xinning crying to such an extent, even a mist in his eyes would make him nervous for a while, asking him why he was uncomfortable.

But now, he didn't try to coax him, didn't try to persuade him, and didn't use his finger to gently wipe away his little junior brother's tears as usual.He didn't even look away too much, but told the other party calmly: "Ning Ning, I'm also made of flesh and blood."

Li Xinning bent down.

He seemed to be penetrated by that unemotional nickname, the fingers holding Shen Budu's cuff turned white, his thin back trembled uncontrollably, and his internal organs were convulsed with pain.

"I'm sorry, brother... I'm sorry, I'm sorry..." He apologized incoherently crying, "I didn't mean it... I really didn't expect to kill you..."

Shen Budu finally couldn't bear it.

He knew that his soft heart was a major shortcoming, but the person in front of him was Li Yong's own son, a younger brother who had lived with him for 15 years. Even though he was not related by blood, he had nothing to do with his own brother emotionally. different.

He sighed and patted Li Xinning on the back.Li Xinning froze slightly, wiped away the tears and looked up at him, some hope appeared in the painful and desperate eyes, and he called "Senior brother" in a murmur.

"So your purpose is to seriously injure me, so that you can help Li Hongjun get the head?" Shen Budu said, with a desolate and funny heart, "Actually, it doesn't take so much trouble, just ask him to speak directly, and I will give him the answer." .”

Since Li Xinning has no enmity with him, the only reasonable explanation Shen Budu can think of is this.

But Li Xinning denied it.

"I didn't help him, I just cooperated with him." He looked at Shen Budu's brows and eyes, and smiled with red eyes. The smile looked a little strange, it was a kind of shocking paranoia and madness, "he thought To be in charge, but I want you."

Shen Budu didn't understand what he meant immediately, so he couldn't help frowning.

"Brother Budu." He suddenly changed his address. When he was still young, only the two of them called Shen Budu when they were together. "You must not know how important you are to me."

How important is it?

The existence of Shen Budu made Li Xinning feel that he was really alive.

Li Xinning originally had a younger brother who was four years younger, but he was kidnapped by Li Yong's enemies shortly after he was born, and he was never able to find him again.Mrs. Li died of grief, and there is almost no shadow of his mother in his memory.

His father is a well-known power in the cultivation world, he travels around all day, and after the establishment of Tianya Canghaimen, he is busy with internal affairs, and he hardly sees each other for a month.Although Li Hongjun is a real brother, the other party is different from him.

Since he was weak and sick since he was a child, he was not suitable for cultivation. Li Yong did not have any expectations for him, but wholeheartedly planned to train Li Hongjun to be a qualified successor.Although Li Hongjun's talent is not superior, he is ambitious, he practiced with Li Yong every day, was taught by Li Yong to study, and rarely communicated with his younger brother.

It seems that the two of them are the real father and son, only he is redundant.

He is a noble second son, but no one actually takes him seriously.With no cultivation, no real power, and even a lack of father's favor, he is like a child who has been transparentized. Even the disciples of the sect would just salute him politely and walk away when they met him, without having a word of conversation.

Originally, he was going to live like this for the rest of his life.

But later, Shen Budu came.

The boy was thirteen or fourteen years old. He heard that his family had also undergone great changes, and his parents passed away unfortunately.There was obviously sadness in the boy's brows and eyes, but it was not despair like stagnant water.Even when he saw him, he immediately hid the pain, showed him a nice smile, and asked him: "You are Ningning, right? I hugged you when I was young, do you remember?"

Li Xinning didn't remember.But after this reunion, he will never forget it again.

Li Yong and Li Hongjun were still so busy, it was Shen Budu who took him to climb trees to pot bird eggs, and go down the river to catch fish and shrimp, giving him the childhood that ordinary children have had.One night, they sat side by side under the tree, smelling the strong fragrance of sweet-scented osmanthus in the air, and he said, "I don't have a mother anymore."

Shen Budu said, me too.

"I have a father and an older brother, but they don't usually talk to me," he said.

He saw a slightly distressed look in the boy's eyes.

"They're just too busy, so they didn't ignore you on purpose." Shen Budu explained, looking at his drooping long eyelashes, he thought about it and changed his words, "Well, your brother is really unreliable. But still me."

Li Xinning raised his eyes to look at him.

The 13-year-old boy grinned, and the stars in the sky fell into his bright eyes. He was so gentle and beautiful: "I am also your brother. I can play with you in the future and teach you how to read and practice. How about it?"

"really?"

"Of course." The young man said to him seriously, "Don't listen to other people's nonsense, you are actually very smart and have a good memory, aren't you? Even if you can't practice swords, you can take other paths. Are you interested in martial arts? I will teach you OK?"

After the boy finished speaking, he deliberately teased him: "But you have to call me brother first."

Li Xinning looked at him firmly, and called softly: "Brother Budu."

Shen Budu responded with a smile, and stretched out his hand to ruffle his hair: "Don't be unhappy. From now on, my brother will protect you."

The boy did what he said.Even though Li Yong passed away unexpectedly later, and the sect was almost in chaos, he still resisted the heavy burden with his own strength, and supported everything for them with his not-so-thick young arms.

Li Hongjun had resentment in his heart, but he didn't care.Shen Budu deserves to have the best in the world, because he himself is the best and the best person in the world.

Apparently, many people have the same thoughts as him.

The three apprentices of Shen Budu, the fox who signed the contract with Shen Budu, the famous master of the Feifeng Pavilion, the young ruler of the Wanyan Sect... I don't know when, there are so many people around Shen Budu. After realizing it, he realized that his elder brother Budu had set his sights on him shorter and shorter.

He seemed to have returned overnight when he was seven or eight years old, wandering alone in a silent and indifferent world.

Even though he has completed the formation technique now, he has been highly regarded by his father and has become a well-known genius formation mage in the cultivation world; no one will ignore him, be indifferent to him, and treat him as a dispensable atmosphere.

But he was the only one who lacked that person's attention.

He thought that he would rather return to a state of having nothing than lose the focused gaze of that one person.

He will not sink.

I want Shen Budu to just look at him and stay with him like he did a long time ago.

"I plan to take you away after you fall, and hide in a place where no one will find you." Li Xinning murmured, "There are many ways to wash away memories, and I can make you only remember me. In this way , there will be no more messy people to bother us..."

Everything he said exceeded Shen Budu's imagination, and Shen Budu's face was so ugly that he almost wrote "You are crazy" on his face.

"Brother, do you think I'm bad and perverted?" Li Xinning's pale face showed a smile, but there was a frightening light in his dark eyes, "I know. I also found out that I was sick a long time ago, but I can't change..."

"When I think of you being with others, I feel pain, and I can hardly breathe. I will think why you don't come to accompany me? Why do you start teaching others to read and practice? Why do you care about other people's acting like a baby? Don't they all belong to me?"

"I'm very sick," he said softly, "but no one can save me."

"Li Xinning," Shen Budu didn't know what to say, "Everyone has to grow up. Not only me, you are also growing up, and you will also make other friends. You don't have to... regard me so important."

"Brother, don't reason with a patient." Li Xinning smiled, "He doesn't understand."

Even if you understand it, you can no longer control yourself.

Otherwise, why would you want to abandon everything, lock up your brother, and spend the rest of your life with him like this?

Fame, status, wealth, even the blue sky, flowers, and freedom are all optional. As long as I can see that person's face and hear him talking to me every day, it is already a great satisfaction that nothing can give, and it is terrifying.

"What about now? You got these tattoos to revive me?" Shen Budu rubbed the center of his brows, feeling so heavy and powerless like at this moment, "Li Xinning! Don't you know the consequences of getting involved with the ghost clan? Forgot How many of us were killed by the ghost clan back then?! Now you are helping the ghost clan to take away human beings for your own selfishness, you...do you have the face to face your father under the nine springs!"

His tone was uncontrollably irritable, with helpless pain and sadness.

Because I knew Li Xinning wouldn't listen.

It's even more sad that his well-behaved and sensible little brother turned into what he is now when he didn't realize it.

"What does the life and death of other people have to do with me? I don't care about the grievances of the ghost clan." Li Xinning still had a docile and harmless appearance, but his tone was chillingly indifferent, "I only know that no matter what the price is, I must let you you come back."

He practiced the ancient forbidden technique and made a deal with the ghost king Bo Ren.Because the ghost clan had made an oath that they could not enter the human world, Li Xinning used forbidden techniques to help the ghost clan take away the homes of humans and let them live in human skin.This is a loophole in the rules, and Heaven has nothing to do with them.In exchange, the King of Ghosts will help him find the immortal soul in the Netherworld, and Li Xinning will choose the most suitable body for his senior brother to be reborn.

Shen Budu listened to the blood welling up, couldn't hold back and rubbed the center of his brow again - this time he was purely angry.If his apprentices dared to say these words, they would have been whipped to the ground by him.

But Li Xinning is not his own brother, but the son of his benefactor, so he has no right to discipline him.

Li Xinning's own words are not exaggerated, he is really terminally ill.Not to mention being a descendant of a famous family, even an ordinary monk with a bit of moral conscience would never do such a mindless thing.

Seeing clearly the disappointment in his eyes, although Li Xinning was heartbroken, she was already prepared.

When he first decided to take this step, there was no way to turn back.

He can only move forward without stopping and by any means until he achieves his goal.

Shen Budu had a severe headache, he stopped trying to waste his words, but a suspicious point suddenly popped up in his chaotic brain, and he grasped it sharply: "That's not right."

Li Xinning raised her eyes slightly.

"You are so smart, you must know that you and Li Hongjun can't do anything to me, why are you so sure that I will fall off the cliff and fall into the killing formation you have set up in advance?" Shen Budu raised his eyes, and the sharp gaze pierced into his eyes , "Li Xinning, what else do you know?"

Does he also know the existence of the magic tablet?

No, it's not possible.Every time Shen Budu went to repair the magic tablet, he would check whether there were other people around him.With his unrivaled cultivation, it is impossible not to notice that someone is following him, let alone Li Xinning, who is not outstanding in cultivation.

Then how could the other party judge that he was not in good condition that day, and even Li Hongjun was not his opponent?

In the blink of an eye, his heart skipped a beat, and he finally figured out a long-standing doubt.

"Xie Jianhuan suddenly lost control that time, was it your fault!?"
