smile to heart

=====================

After noon, everyone went back to their room to take a nap.Qi Zhong sat downstairs alone, thinking hard with his head down, as if he was still complaining about the mistake he had made in the morning.

Fang Yanxiao stood on the stairs condescendingly, watched him for a long time, was entangled in her heart, hesitated for a while, and finally walked towards him.

Qi Zhong, who propped his head and looked away, faintly felt someone approaching beside him, turned his head to look at him, and said in surprise, "Miss Fang, why didn't you go upstairs to rest?"

"..."

Fang Yanxiao didn't reply, but carefully scrutinized Qi Zhong's eyebrows and eyes, so meticulous that even the hair on the temples was not spared, as if repeatedly confirming something.

Qi Zhong felt a little embarrassed when she saw him, and felt that the visitor had a strange expression, so he lowered his head unnaturally, and sneaked a glance at her from time to time, wondering in his heart: Is she bewitched?

"Miss Fang, you, are you okay? Is there something wrong? How about I take you out to see the doctor..."

Realizing that the other party was still staring at him, Qi Zhong felt a little nervous for a moment, and greeted him indiscriminately.

"No."

Fang Yanxiao frowned, looked away lightly, and took the initiative to sit beside him.

Qi Zhong's expression became even more unnatural. He moved his position and poured a glass of water to cover up his strangeness: "Then you should drink some water, it's a hot day to cool off."

"Ah."

Fang Yanxiao lowered her eyes to look at the cup of clear tea, and fell into a deep thought: If this person in front of her is really her younger brother, Xiaojin, whom she has been looking for for many years, how can she make up for the harm that she caused him to be killed several times before?If he knew his true identity, would he still recognize himself?

With repeated entangled questions lingering in her heart, Fang Yanxiao suddenly felt embarrassed, and for a moment she didn't want to further confirm the identity of the person in front of her, she was afraid of the truth.

After Qi Zhong handed her the water, he kept lowering his eyes, not daring to look at her directly, thinking in his mind: She can't really have some ulterior motives, and deliberately find a time when everyone is away to blackmail me, right?

While thinking wildly, Fang Yanxiao suddenly asked with a soft smile: "Can you promise me something?"

Qi Zhong was stunned for a moment, without thinking carefully, and said bluntly: "Miss Fang, please tell me."

"I heard about you in the morning, and I remembered that my brother and I are now separated from each other, traveling around the world. In fact, the first time I saw you, I felt that your eyebrows and eyes resembled him... I, I want you to call me Sister, can you?"

"Huh? What?"

Qi Zhong stared in astonishment, and when he realized it, he quickly shook his head: "No."

Fang Yanxiao didn't expect him to refuse so without thinking, her smile stiffened, and she asked, "Why?"

"I have a sister. If I recognize you as my sister, she will be jealous if she finds out in the future. I don't want to make her angry." Qi Zhong scratched his head and said slowly.

Fang Yanxiao's eyes immediately burst into tears, and she held back her tears, but the distant past was recalled in her mind.

"Xiao Jin, next time you call someone else's sister, I will be jealous."

"Then I won't! Sister Atang, don't be angry, I only have one older sister."

……

A joke that he said casually to tease Naive when he was young, but he has remembered it for so many years.The tip of Fang Yanxiao's nose was bright red, and she was so sad that she wanted to cry.

She covered her eyes with her hands, pretended to hold her forehead, and said with a sob slightly: "She won't. We are only sworn brothers and sisters, and she won't be angry with you."

"You're not her, how do you know if she will be angry. And don't you have a brother? If he knows that I robbed his sister, he won't be happy. "

Qi Zhong replied impatiently, he couldn't understand how she would make such a request, although when he heard this just now, for an inexplicable moment, he still wanted to agree.

"That's good. Now that we haven't found them, we will call them siblings for the time being. When they come back, we will recognize our relatives. How about it?"

Fang Yanxiao's words moved Qi Zhong a little.

"I am doomed to be a stranger in this life. If I never see him until I die, I will never let go of my obsession. Since we share the same disease, why can't we give each other a false thought?"

"But..." Seeing the pitiful and helpless people, Qi Zhong couldn't bear it for no reason. He hesitated for a while, so he could only coax, "Then, well..."

Fang Yanxiao turned her tears into a smile, and said excitedly: "Then you can call me sister."

"Ah I……"

Qi Zhong, who was not yet ready, shyly avoided the request.

"Say it, say it."

Under the other party's hard insistence, Qi finally lowered his head shyly, and said in a low voice, "Yi, sister Yi."

"Eh."

Fang Yanxiao was moved and satisfied, she couldn't hold back for a while, hugged her in her arms, tears of gratitude: "Thank you."

Qi Zhong, who wanted to resist, suddenly heard a sad thank you in his ear, and his heart softened immediately. He let go of his guard and comforted him: "No thanks... sister."

"Ugh..."

Fang Yanxiao closed her eyes and almost burst into tears. After letting go, she was afraid that she would show too much emotion and make him suspicious, so she hurried back upstairs, leaving Qi Zhong alone at the table. After knowing it, I was confused.

……

In the deep night, Fang Yanxiao, who could not sleep, finally sneaked into Qi Zhong's room. While he was asleep, she took off his collar and saw three clear scars under his collarbone. .

She staggered back a few steps, looked at the face of the sleeping person on the bed with joy and guilt, and fell into deep self-blame and remorse.

What a twist of fate, the relative she had been looking for for many years was already by her side, but she didn't recognize him earlier, and she even viciously and seriously injured him... She couldn't recognize him at the time, but she can't recognize him now.

Fang Yanxiao frowned in pain, she had already put aside the orders of the Raksha God, she wished to strip off the skin of this killer, become a clean and good person, always be by her brother's side, and have some comfort for the rest of her life.

But now what she can do is to meet and not recognize Qi Zhong, so that she can protect her loved ones in the dark.

This is probably her retribution for years of evil.

Fang Yanxiao thought to herself, leaning against the side of the bed helplessly, looking down at his sleeping face, the lingering posture, just like the cute appearance of cuddling in childhood, her heart was deeply moved.

……

When Fang Yanxiao exited the door, she gently closed the door again, with a gratified smile under her veil.

The moment she turned around, the joy in her eyes met the sword light under the bright moon.

Responding quickly, she sideways dodged the sword aura that warned her.

Looking up, Lingling stood alone on the tiles of the eaves, with a tall and tall figure and long hair fluttering.

The man looked back at him coldly, his whole body exuded a faint hostility, and he held a sharp long sword tightly in his right hand.The bluish-white sword energy flowed on the sword body, the sword spikes fluttered against the cool wind, and the moonlight was like water, covering his whole body like frost.

Fang Yanxiao didn't expect that Mu Yun was the one who made the move. Fortunately, he is not the kind of sneak attacker. Otherwise, she was so dazed with joy just now, and she stabbed with such a powerful sword behind her, no matter how fast her reaction was, She too must be a little bruised.

But the warning of mercy does not mean that he will let himself go.

While Fang Yanxiao was calm, she lightly climbed up to the eaves, and met his gaze without changing her expression, the red silk in her sleeve twitched faintly.

Fang Yanxiao was on alert, her murderous intent floated in the confrontation between the two.

At this moment, Mu Yun put away the sword, and said in a flat tone, "Am I asking you, or are you explaining yourself?"

"Why did you withdraw the sword? Who do you look down on?" Fang Yanxiao lowered her voice, quite annoyed: How dare this green-haired boy look down on her?

Mu Yun paused, knowing that the other party had misunderstood, and explained politely: "Girls, girls, if I ask questions with a sword, I will be contemptuous."

Unexpectedly, Fang Yanxiao felt as if she had been tricked by his seriousness for no reason, but the other party's tone was sincere, and she couldn't find anything that made her want to get angry, unless she had a small belly.

"Hmph. If all the cultivators in Shangjiang had such stupid ideas as you, they would all be dead by now." She snorted coldly.

Mu Yun smiled lightly, turned back to the topic, and said in a serious tone, "Who the hell are you? What's your purpose?"

"The person who asked me this answer last time was so dead that he didn't even have the qualifications to be thrown into a mass grave... You might as well be the next one."

With forceful language and unkind eyes, Fang Yanxiao didn't want to tangle with him, and was about to make a quick decision, so she suddenly released the red silk to attack.

"watch out."

Mu Yun reacted quickly and dodged quickly. He stood on the red silk with two steps and looked down from the sky.

"Broken soul silk? Are you the main culprit in the case of the disappearance of monks in Shangjiang?" Mu Yun, who had worked hard on this case, now identified the other party's identity with two tricks.

"Hmph. The answer is correct, congratulations, you are dead!" Fang Yanxiao sneered, and twitched the red silk in her sleeve again.

Mu Yun dodged it, and smiled confidently: "Oh? Then I'm really lucky today. I was lucky enough to learn the skills of a female killer at the level of Tianzi in this world. It's a pleasure to meet you."

He actually dared to bow his hands, but he didn't mean to be flattered, Fang Yanxiao was even more annoyed.

"Boy, you are really arrogant."

Mu Yun also realized that what he said just now was a little strange. He didn't make such sophistry before, who did he learn from?

"Hey, let me tell you, when fighting with someone, when you know the opponent's strength almost, and when you know that you are at five or five points with him, the best way is to flatter and kill him!"

A clever and cunning figure suddenly popped up in his mind, and Mu Yun was startled: Is this the legendary person who is close to vermilion, who is red and who is close to ink, and who is black?

Seeing his calm look, Fang Yanxiao thought that he was going to use a big move, so she quickly flipped her red sleeves, trying to catch him.

Mu Yun came back to his senses, drew his sword sharply, and the sword light slashed, and the red silk was broken into thousands of pieces, scattered all over the sky.

Both of them are superior in strength, and the battle situation is becoming more and more stalemate.

When Mu Yun uses the sword, if he is not fighting, he is often gentle and gentle, and it is almost seldom pleasant to fight him, because he not only restrains his moves because of humility, but also restrains his moves with benevolence, as if he hurts others even the slightest bit. Yu Xin couldn't bear it.Fang Yanxiao didn't appreciate it, she just found it difficult to deal with, because the opponent didn't use all her strength, she couldn't find out the opponent's weakness and defeat him earlier.

The sword light became sharper and sharper, Fang Yanxiao could have escaped smoothly, but a frightened cat suddenly fell on the edge of the eaves, attracting her attention, before thinking too much, she quickly retracted the attacking red silk , wrap the cat safely, and send it to the distant grass.

Mu Yun didn't expect that she would be distracted by the kindness, so she stopped immediately, but the sword energy that burst out could not be retracted. Even Fang Yanxiao reacted quickly, and suffered two or two bloody marks on her right arm.

She was about to withdraw her hand and leave, but she fell into the sword array that Mu Yun had set up at the beginning, and the red silk in her left hand was also fixed, making her unable to get out.

Everything seemed to have settled down, Mu Yun's body was as light as cotton wool, with his clothes fluttering, and he stood on the ridge of the eaves, looking at her coldly, and pointed with a sword, the tip of the sword was only a little away from the center of her eyebrows.

"Your career as a killer is over."

"You're going to kill me?"

"No, take you back to Shangjiang, hand it over to Xianzun, and give an explanation to those monks who died tragically."

"Hmph. Hypocrisy. What's the difference between that and death."

Mu Yun carried the sword behind his shoulder, and said bluntly, "Now it's time to take off your veil, Linglongxin."

Fang Yanxiao panicked immediately, if she revealed her true face, she would never be able to stay by Qi Shengsheng's side again, and she would lose the chance to know each other forever.

"and many more."

She pretended to be calm, and smiled coldly, "Don't you want to know what I did in that kid's room just now?"

Mu Yun frowned slightly, staring in thought.

"I'm a killer, you have to know that."

This cold reminder made Mu Yun suddenly realize, his anger soared, and he clenched his fists.

"You! He has no grievances with you, why did you hurt him?"

"Hahaha..." Seeing that he was taken in by him, Fang Yanxiao reacted more naturally, "It's ridiculous, I'm a killer, and I only accept tasks on the death list...No injustice or enmity? Who in this world has anything to do with me? I'm not Still slaughter all the people in the world, as long as the master orders me."

"Stubbornly obsessed!" Mu Yun tried his best to hold back his anger and roared in a low voice.

"If you go down now, maybe you can still take a look at his bones, otherwise, if you wait a little longer, he will probably turn into a puddle of blood."

Mu Yun was anxious, and turned around in worry, but when he was near the edge of the eaves, he turned back.

Fang Yanxiao was taken aback for a moment, and then asked again: "Why? Why not? I thought you two were really affectionate, but it turned out to be nothing more than that."

"you are lying."

"General killers will leave cleanly after completing their tasks. When you went out just now, you carefully closed the doors and windows. This is one. Second, when you turned around, you didn't see the vigilance and murderous look in your eyes. , but a kind of anger whose joy was interrupted, such two strange points are enough to show that you just did not kill anyone at all!"

"Sure enough, my mind is clear! It's a pity...it's too late."

Fang Yanxiao squinted her eyes, and tried her best to twitch the red silk, but there was no movement, the ice sword array did not melt away.

But Mu Yun saw the clues and asked, "You actually know the key to breaking the formation of Jiugai swordsmanship? Who are you?"

"Oh, it seems that I underestimated your cultivation." Fang Yanxiao admitted, laughing at herself.

Mu Yun was no longer caught in the trap, and said coldly: "Don't talk nonsense, you have killed countless people, if you plead guilty, you will be arrested!"

At this moment, tiles fell from somewhere, and the crackling sound was particularly crisp on this lonely moonlit night.

Having no time to care about these things, Mu Yun took off the villain's veil with all his heart, but at the moment he raised his hand, he still said in a deep voice: "Offended."

Fang Yanxiao regretted her mistake at the beginning, but the red silk behind her was entangled in the four corners of the eaves, and she couldn't get rid of it at all. If it wasn't for the cat just now, how could she have been captured by this kid.

No, it must not be discovered by him!

Her heart suddenly became vicious, she had already prepared poison in her sleeve, and when Mu Yun lifted the veil, she used her internal force to sprinkle the powder on him, blinding his eyes with the poison, making him unable to see anything.

Boy, don't blame me for being poisonous, if you want to blame it, blame you for pestering me all the time!She had made up her mind, and her eyes suddenly became fierce.

It was only a little bit short, and at this critical moment, the palms of both of them were slightly sweaty.

There was a sudden squeak from under the eaves, followed by a roar: "Who is it? You don't sleep in the middle of the night, and you smash tiles when you're full?"

It was Qi Zhong's voice.

At the moment when Mu Yun was hesitating, broken pieces of porcelain flew from nowhere and cut the red silk into pieces. Fang Yanxiao was free at once. Taking advantage of his distraction, she fled at a fast speed. It disappeared into the thick night in two strokes.

Mu Yun came back to his senses, flicked his sleeves lightly, and secretly sighed that he had his accomplices to help, and the matter fell short.I had no choice but to give up and turn over and lower the eaves.

After Qi Zhong finished cursing, he felt much more relieved. Just as he was rubbing his eyes and was about to turn around and go back to sleep, he suddenly bumped into a wall of flesh.

He opened his eyes miserably in pain: "Who doesn't have eyes... Hey, it's you, Brother Yun."

Mu Yun pursed his lips and nodded silently.

"You don't sleep at night, why are you here... Hey, why do you look a little tired, as if you had a fight with someone... Huh? You couldn't have made the noise just now, could you?"

"...No." When Mu Yun lied, he habitually lowered his head, hid his hands behind his back, and gently disturbed her.

"A wild cat accidentally stepped on a tile just now. I was also startled by the sound. Come out and have a look."

"Oh. No wonder you look like you haven't slept well. This little kitten is really too much!"

Qi finally believed it, and smiled.

Mu Yun coughed lightly: "Yes. It is indeed a bit broken, and it woke everyone up."

"Then, it's nothing, I'll go back to sleep first...the most delicious sleep in the cage!"

Yawning, Qi Zhong drowsily compared the goodbye gestures to him.

Mu Yun frowned, paused, and at the moment Qi Zhong was about to enter the room, he quickly drew his hand, firmly grasped his right hand, and checked his pulse.

Qi Zhong was taken aback and shouted, "Hey! Why are you grabbing my hand?"

"The pulse is stable, no..."

"Otherwise, you still have fetal movement?"

Qi Zhong directly withdrew his hand, interrupting Mu Yun's words.

Stiffly withdrew his hand, Mu Yun felt a little uncomfortable, and lowered his voice a little: "There is no sign of poisoning..."

"Poisoned? What are you talking about in your sleep... Are you stupid?" Qi Zhong looked at him strangely.

No more lingering fears, Mu Yun turned around calmly: "Good night."

"Ah... This kid didn't take the wrong medicine, did he? He actually said good night to me?"

Qi Zhong's eyeballs almost popped out, and he stood there stupidly, watching the man disappear from his back.

Mu Yun tonight was so weird that he had a dream in the middle of the night, in the dream...

The man took his hand and took him to pick the moon over the canyon, and finally lay down on the grass to sleep, he said: "Good night."

Then many strange scenes appeared, under the peach blossom tree, beside the small mountain stream, even in the light gauze curtain... that person had to say good night to himself.

It's a good night, and I'm tormented by the good night alone and go crazy.

Qi Zhong sat up, brushed his hair, and even wanted to run to Mu Yun's room irritably, lifted his blanket, slapped him awake, and asked, "Did you do it on purpose?"
