not immortal

"Hey, Yan Ziji, are you here to hang out again?"

Cheng Yan stretched out his hand, put it on Jiang Xu's shoulder, and waved lazily at the people outside the window: "Do you want to come in and listen together?"

Yan Sui ignored him, his eyes always fell on Jiang Xu's face - deep, without his usual smile, and only after a while did he lightly say: "No."

But Jiang Xu just felt embarrassed, no matter how he heard these words, he was poking at Yan Sui's heart, and he couldn't get over it, not to mention that he only hurt Yan Sui's heart two days ago, and now he was bumped into this incident again. ——

Isn't it that death is imminent and there is no place to turn over?

He was so anxious that he almost went out through the window and asked Yan Sui to explain, but for some reason, his feet seemed to be filled with lead, and he couldn't move half a step. It was the blurry but bright light in Yan Sui's eyes that night when Yan Sui grabbed his wrist and pulled her over.

But now Yan Sui just stared at him silently, emotions surging in a pair of deep pupils, all of which were emotions that Jiang Xu couldn't understand but had an inexplicable nose ache.

Wrong, he thought blankly, it shouldn't be like this, I didn't mean... that.

Jian Yangzi coughed from the front of the classroom, it was a bit contrived, after a pause, he rolled up his book and knocked on the table, and shouted angrily towards the window: "Get out if you don't want to go to class!"

Cheng Yan was terrified, and quickly let go of his hands and sat up again, but Jiang Xu seemed to have never heard of it, and just looked at Yan Sui, a little embarrassed, and didn't know how to explain it.

He couldn't tell Yan Sui exactly what Cheng Yan said. Jiang Xu racked his brains, but finally he just moved his lips and called "Senior Brother" in a subtle way.

"Jiang Xu!" Jian Yangzi's voice almost shook the ashes off the beams, "Is there anything to see outside, do you want Yan Sui to come in and accompany you?"

An almost indistinct smile flashed across Yan Sui's face, and finally returned to calm. He slightly nodded at Jiang Xu, and said softly, "Listen to the class first."

Jiang Xu nodded instinctively, then shook his head quickly after regaining consciousness, and opened his lips to say something, but saw Yan Sui raised his finger to his lips and shook his head slightly at him.

"Xuxu, be obedient," he said with a smile on the corner of his mouth, and lowered his voice extremely low, "It's rare for Master Jian Yangzi to attend a class, so you have to listen carefully, it will be of great benefit to you."

how about you?Jiang Xu asked him with his eyes, where are you going?

"Don't worry," Yan Sui's smile became clearer this time, "I won't go down the mountain."

Snapped!

The scroll rubbed heavily in front of Jiang Xu and flew out of the window. In the end, Yan Sui held it firmly in his hand. Jian Yangzi snorted heavily, pointed at Yan Sui's nose and cursed: "It's still here to affect your junior brother, isn't it? Nothing to do? If you have nothing to do, go watch the wall on the Sword Cliff until the class is over!"

This time Jiang Xu was obedient, he turned his head and blinked at Jian Yangzi, and sincerely apologized: "It's none of senior brother's business, it's Jiang Xu's stubbornness, let me be punished."

The hall was suddenly quiet for a moment, Jiang Xu waited for a while, but did not hear what Jian Yangzi said, but Yan Sui stretched out his hand from the window, placed the book squarely in front of him, cupped his fists and bowed to Jian Yangzi, and said softly: "Then The disciple left first, the younger brother has a pure heart, so the elder uncle should not frighten him."

"Hey," Cheng Yan muffled a smile from behind, "It's quite effective, Elder Jian Yangzi's move really hit the fate point."

Jiang Xu only felt that everyone's eyes were on this side, and his face turned hot to look for Yan Sui's figure, but he saw that the other party was standing behind him without even looking at him, and took two steps back before turning away.

Only Jiang Xu stared out of the window for a long while, and then retracted his eyes in disappointment. Cheng Yan lowered his voice and comforted him half-truthfully: "Although Yan Ziji is fussy, you are different, hey, Junior Brother Jiang , don’t worry, if you don’t like it, you don’t like it! Anyway, there are many people who like him, and you are not bad!”

In the end, Jiang Xu buckled the book on his head with his backhand. He groaned, and Jiang Xu pursed his lips and turned his head to stare at him, which was self-evident.

It was very fierce, and I don't know what Yan Ziji taught on weekdays.

"Anyway, senior brother Cheng should stop talking nonsense in the future," Jiang Xu's voice was muffled and he couldn't hear clearly, "I have no admiration for senior brother, and senior brother is just senior brother."

"Got it, got it," Cheng Yan replied, but he didn't take it seriously, "Junior Brother Jiang, don't think too much, Yan Ziji is very smart, how could he get angry because of such a little thing."

Not to mention Yan Sui, even I didn't believe this, he buried his head and closed his eyes sleepily, and shut his mouth wisely.

Say a few more words, isn't it just waiting for Yan Sui to make trouble for him again!

……

Finally, when the bell rang, Jiang Xu didn't realize how much he had heard, his mind was full of the figure of Yan Sui walking away, as soon as Jian Yangzi left, he stood up quickly to go out, and suddenly stopped in the original place land.

Only then did he realize that he didn't even know where Yan Sui had gone.

"Ya!" Cheng Yan's carefree voice drifted from the side, "The elders have been busy selecting candidates for the Dao Discussion Conference these days, so you don't have to go to the medicine hall later, do you?"

Jiang Xu followed the prestige, and saw Ya biting her hairband, squinting at Cheng Yan, and said vaguely, "Why, do you want to compete with me again?"

"Isn't there enough competition in the selection meeting?" Cheng Yan let out angrily, "It's such a beautiful spring, it's natural to have a drink or two, Junior Brother Jiang!"

He sideways waved at Jiang Xu, and asked him loudly: "Do you want to come together? The peach wine that I just dug up with your brother yesterday is the best time."

Jiang Xu thought about it, smiled shyly at him, and shook his head: "I won't bother Brother Cheng and Sister Ya, I want to go to the selection meeting."

Since it is related to the Dao Discussion Conference in the near future, Yan Sui will probably be there.

After all, he will definitely participate in such a grand event as the first disciple of the Wuji Sect, Jiang Xu thought, maybe he is now selecting disciples for the master and the elders.

Cheng Yan also stopped persuading him, and waved his hand to say goodbye to him on a rare occasion: "Then you go and have a look, it's quite fun."

"Okay." Although Jiang Xu felt strange, he still smiled at him sincerely, "Then I'll go, see you some other day."

As a result, when we arrived at the arena in front of the Wuji Hall, we didn't see Yan Sui. On the contrary, the figure on the stage was very familiar. Jiang Xu paused, stopped not far away, and quietly observed the situation on the stage with his head slightly raised. , one of them was wearing a white robe, with seals and kneading formulas in his hands, the ground suddenly burst into a long crack, splashing countless rocks, and flew towards the other person.

But it was Gao Hang.

Jiang Xu stared at his flying figure, trying to find something - blocky, crystal clear, but Gao Hang just took out countless spells from his sleeve, and several different spells fell in the flying handprints, Only there is no burning fire formula.

On the contrary, he was cautious, Jiang Xu squinted his eyes for a while, then turned and left. The winner on the stage was already decided. Gao Hang's cultivation base can be regarded as profound, and it is not difficult to win at all.

Anyway, I didn't come to see the competition, Jiang Xu thought in his heart, I wish Gao Hang would slip his hands and feet, and quickly lose the wind.

thump—

The bell rang heavily, Jiang Xu paused, and heard the elder pronounce the verdict as expected: "Group A has three rounds, Gao Hang wins!"

"Oh," Jiang Xu sighed regretfully, and muttered, "It's boring."

He ran back to Qiongxiao Peak again, ran across the Iron Lock Bridge with tinkling bells, and saw peach blossoms in half a tree in the distance, Yan Sui was wearing a water-blue gown and crossed his legs under the tree, his brows and eyes were indifferent, and the spring was bright Yan, some petals fell on his shoulders, Jiang Xu couldn't help slowing down, only felt that Yan Sui was more like a statue of the patriarch enshrined in the temple at this moment.

You should offer incense, candles and fireworks instead of opening your eyes to look at yourself, or smiling at someone.

This is what a ruthless cultivator really looks like.

He stepped back a little, even breathing very lightly, but saw Yan Sui open his eyes amidst the gradually weakening tinkle clang, and accurately caught his own figure, with a warm smile in his eyes.

"Xu Xu," he stood up, peach blossoms fell to the ground, "how did you learn today?"

"Ah," Jiang Xu blinked dully, a little absent-minded, "I learned the Imperial Wind Jue."

"Master Jian Yangzi's uncle's spells are almost complete," Yan Sui waved to him gently, "If he is not old, he should be the first person to prove the Tao in thousands of years, but Xu Xu has learned it?"

Jiang Xu didn't respond to him, he raised his hand and made a tactic, then a wind swept in from the end of the mountain forest, blowing away the mist of peach blossoms, Yan Sui's robe was raised high behind him, Jiang Xu could finally see his expression clearly ——

Calm, gentle, and generally unnoticeable at any time.

It seems that there is no need to explain anything to him.

He opened his mouth, and finally said silently: "What I said to Senior Brother Cheng just now didn't mean that."

Yan Sui paused for a moment before saying with a natural expression: "Understood, Xu Xu, come here."

Only then did Jiang Xu move himself off the bridge, Yan Sui walked to his side in twos and twos, bent slightly, and got very close to him.

"Does Xuxu like me, or doesn't she like me?"

Every word of his was light, but it hit Jiang Xu's heart with a warm breath. He raised his head and tried to hide, but was restrained by a palm on the back of his neck, and he couldn't avoid looking at Yan Sui.

Bang, bang.

The long wind blurred the clear ringing of the eaves corner, Jiang Xu swallowed his dry voice, and finally squeezed out an indistinct voice from between his lips and teeth: "...I like it."

Yan Sui's eyes deepened, and the corners of his mouth moved slightly for a certain moment, as if he wanted to say something, but also seemed to want to get closer, so as to hear whether what Qing Jiang Xu said was "like".

"I really like senior brother," Jiang Xu closed his eyes, and firmly grasped the sword with his hand behind his back. "Senior brother has taken me with me since I was a child. Senior brother is like a master to me. He is the closest But... family."

The last word was uttered heavily and clearly, Jiang Xu's eyelashes trembled, and he felt Yan Sui's hand pinching the back of his neck hard, and then let go suddenly.

"Is it."

He tentatively opened his eyes, just in time to see Yan Sui took two steps back, with a warm smile and deep eyes, and said softly: "That would be the best."

"Brother."

Jiang Xu subconsciously called out, then closed his mouth under Yan Sui's increasingly gentle expression, and timidly rubbed against him.

"Junior brother learned well today." Yan Sui took another step back, and he stood still knowingly, "but we still need to practice more. If there is something we don't understand, master and I will definitely—"

He pronounced the last word meaningfully: "Take care of me."

……

The bright moon hung high, and Jiang Xu looked around, only the sound of water ding-dong, and some bright and clear light from the bamboo forest, hiding in the greenery, he could only vaguely realize that he was in a dream.

In a daze, his body couldn't be controlled at all, he could only move forward slowly, he knew where it was - there was a spiritual spring on Qiongxiao Peak, hidden on the mountainside, when he was young, he lost his way because of playfulness, and Yan Sui was so tired When they came to look for him, they also lost their way, and finally found this unexpected place, and only the two of them knew it.

But why dream?

Jiang Xu could only be forced to walk forward, the murmur of the water covered the rustling of the branches and leaves, and in the distance, he heard the light laughter of a woman.

A faint feeling of something bad gradually emerged from the bottom of my heart, where is the woman on Qiongxiao Peak?He tried his best to stop himself, but when he turned his foot, a sparkling spring surface appeared in his sight——

Yan Sui's back was facing him, the long gown was mostly wet, but there was another woman with snow-skinned and beautiful face hanging on Yan Sui's shoulders, her light white fingertips were dyed with vermilion danko, her charming almond eyes were half-covered, and she was eating Looking at him with a smile.

"Lang Jun-"

"?!"

Jiang Xu sat up from the bed suddenly, a sharp pain spread in his chest, the incense ball dangled dangling from the top of the bed, he panted and looked out the window, only to see the darkness.

In a dream, he touched his chest in a daze, turned over and got out of bed, a cold chill crept into his heart along the soles of his feet, and his uneasiness continued to expand.

Why do you have such absurd dreams?

He stood in a daze for a while, then put on his shoes and pushed the door out by accident. The courtyard was filled with clear light, and the mountains and forests in the distance were silent, only the peach trees rustled in thought, and countless flying petals fell down.

"It must be that I have heard too much talk from Senior Sister Ya and Senior Brother Cheng in the past two days," Jiang Xu murmured, but he felt even more flustered, "Think about it every day before dreaming at night, it's so ridiculous."

That's Yan Sui, how could Yan Sui... understand love?

With his current cultivation base, he should have had a firm heart long ago!

But Jiang Xu still walked down the mountain unsteadily, his steps getting faster and faster, his outer robe was cut by the branches and leaves, and he didn't know how long he ran before he stopped in the sound of the gurgling water, panting silently with his mouth open, He tried his best to distinguish the sounds around him.

How can there be any woman's smile!

He breathed a sigh of relief at first, and just about to scold himself for being mentally ill, but he heard some water dripping, as if it was slipping from his skin, or...

Someone stepped into the water.

The light laughter cut through the silent night, Jiang Xu's mind was blank, and his heart trembled instantly. If he could stand by the spring, he would definitely be able to see his extremely pale face and violently trembling fingers.

I should go back, he suddenly thought so, but quietly raised his hand, and pushed aside the lush branches and leaves that hid the spiritual spring——

There were two people standing in the clear moonlight and sparkling waves, Yan Sui's expression was completely blocked by a slender figure, Jiang Xu could only see a length of familiar water blue gown, and Jing Wu standing by the spring.

He let go of his hand in a daze, and stepped back silently, only the two embracing figures and a thin waist remained in his mind.

Qingli and slim, with a full grip.

Jiang Xu thought, I really feel sorry for him.

Who is cool?I'm having fun
