Yu Hongchen

After a while, Ji Rou came in from the door calmly again. She walked calmly, and there was no clue on her face.Naqu Kongqing followed Ji Rou, stumbled in, her forehead was red, and her eyes were bruised.He Suowu couldn't help but let out a sigh, his eyes full of sarcasm.

Qu Kongqing looked at Ji Rou with bright eyes, but Ji Rou regarded him as a dead thing, and even gave him a stingy look, and was interrupted when he met Shang Lixing: "The subordinates have returned to Silu many times, Chasing down the demons and disposing of 370 nine demon spies on the spot, is this considered a great contribution?"

Qu Kongqing intended to please her, and praised behind her: "Sister Ji Rou is really capable."

Ji Rou had just seen this person's false face from her elder brother, and now hearing his sweet words, not only was she not moved, but she was disgusted to the extreme.Without looking back, he said coldly, "Why are you still here?"

Qu Kongqing remained stubborn, and glibly said: "If you are here, of course I am here."

Ji Rou spat coldly, then turned around and walked over, slapped him a few times, so viciously, it's no exaggeration to say that she hated him to the bone.He shouted: "Despicable and shameless villain! You deceived my brother, and now you want to enjoy the blessings of everyone?!"

Qu Kongqing was taken aback by her beating, and the corners of his mouth turned red.After a moment of recovery, he smiled and said: "Hahaha, you played well, you played well!" His expression turned serious, and his voice was deep and deep: "I really think I care about you brothers and sisters?"

Ji Rouxiu didn't move her eyebrows, she sneered darkly and said, "Then why don't you get out?"

Naqu Kongqing laughed even more recklessly: "Hahahaha, just get out!" After saying that, he didn't want to miss it anymore, laughed a few times, and walked out swaggeringly.The laughter gradually drifted away, and I don't know where it went.

Shang Lixing looked at Ji Rou and sighed helplessly: "Why did you become irritable after going out?"

After a moment of silence, Ji Rou suddenly turned around and said to Shang Lixing: "When I was tracking the spies of the demon race in the mortal world, I also discovered a strange thing."

Shang Lixing asked, "What's the matter?"

Ji Rou was not affected by Qu Kongqing at all, and went straight to the point: "My subordinates took people to the mortal world. In a small mountain village called Zhoujia Village, I accidentally found a ruined temple. There was a statue in the temple. With long horns and red hair, and a ferocious face, he is very similar to the Beastmaster of the Northland Wild Valley."

"Beastmaster?" Shang Lixing was startled when he heard this, and said, "Go on."

Ji Rou continued: "So I sent the local villagers to ask. It turned out that a small riot broke out in the local area more than ten years ago, and the villagers were massacred by a group of unknown people. A strange person appeared out of nowhere to help the villagers fight against foreign invaders, and later he died heroically to save the villagers. The villagers were grateful for his righteousness and built a temple at the foot of the mountain in the north of the village to enshrine the hero. I see the appearance of the person enshrined in the temple, It is the long-lost beast king."

Shang Lixing's face was serious: "You mean, the Beast King didn't disappear in Beilu, but died in the mortal world."

Ji Rou said indifferently, "it's possible."

He Suowu questioned: "He is the majestic king of beasts, why should he sacrifice himself to save mortals? How did he escape from the barren valley and come to Nanling?"

Ji Rouli said confidently: "then how do I know?"

He Suowu repeatedly said strangely: "The Beast King of the Beast Clan is a single lineage, an existence protected by heaven and earth, and the entire clan of those who kill him will be punished by heaven. Who is so not afraid of death?"

Shang Lixing looked worried: "Demon race, monster race, now there is another beast race, alas, it's really troublesome." Suddenly thinking of what happened at Qianchong Yingbi before, his heart skipped a beat: "The beast race in the northern land barren valley? Is this also related to the demons?"

While feeling sad, I heard Ji Rou say again: "The sect master hasn't promised me just now."

Shang Lixing returned to his senses with a smile: "Okay, what reward do you want?"

Ji Rou paused every word, and said resolutely: "If there is a day in the future, please let Ji Rou lead the vanguard."

Shang Lixing said with a smile: "You want to fight the enemy?"

Ji Rou raised her head and said proudly: "Ji Rou is a person who wants to do big things, and she doesn't want to deal with these little things for mother-in-law and mother-in-law all day long."

Shang Lixing laughed and said: "Well, well, it's all up to you."

That night Shang left to drink the medicine and went back to his own courtyard. Xie Liuchen was nowhere to be found in the courtyard, so he walked across the path and saw him flipping through books in the study as expected.

During this period of time, he was so busy that his feet never touched the ground, and Shang Lihang rarely had the chance to spend time alone with Xie Liuchen.Right now, he is standing outside the door, taking advantage of the lights in the corridor, looking at Xie Liuchen flipping through the books.When I think that I am not at home, this person will obediently stay in my yard until I come back. This feeling is like hiding a rare treasure at home, which no one can see or touch.His heart softened, he walked into the study gently, cut the candle wicks on the table short, and said softly: "Don't read at night, it will hurt your eyes."

Xie Liuchen responded indifferently: "Well, wait until this volume is finished."

The candle flames flickered from time to time, making the figures of the two people become indistinct.Beside the dim candlelight, Shang Lixing gazed at his beautiful side face obsessively, and couldn't help saying, "Thank you, Junior Brother——"

Xie Liuchen flicked his eyes over the paper, and said casually, "What's wrong?"

Shang Lixing couldn't say anything for a while, the situation tonight was too quiet and beautiful.He hesitated to speak, but finally said resentfully: "It's nothing, let's rest earlier." As he walked out of the study, he thought in his heart: "It's not advisable to act too hastily, let's wait until the sword is forged."

The next day, I received a message from the foundry in the back mountain in the front hall, saying that the sword entrusted by the head of the sect was almost completed.Shang Lixing was determined and planned to go and watch it.After dealing with the vulgar affairs, set foot on the road to the back mountain.

Halfway through the walk, through a low jungle, I heard a woman's voice suddenly: "You said you like me?"

Shang Lixing heard that it was Bai Xuan's voice, he groaned in his heart, slowed down his steps, and heard another man's voice stammering: "Yes, yes, I, I have liked you for a long time, since, since a long time ago It's just started..." It was He Suowu's voice.

Bai Xuan's voice sounded immediately: "Are you kidding me? You said you liked me a long time ago, but I never felt your liking for me."

He Suowu faltered and said: "Really, really, I didn't, I didn't lie to you..." Although he didn't see the expression on He Suowu's face, Shang Lixing could predict that his face must be blushing at this moment .Xindao has been dragging on for hundreds of years, and now he finally dares to confess his love.

Bai Xuan pressed her every step: "You said you liked me, why did you run away as soon as you saw me?"

He Suowu spoke even more incoherently: "I, I dare not, I am afraid that you will be angry, I am afraid that you will ignore me, and I am even more afraid that you will not accept it."

Bai Xuan said firmly: "I don't believe it, you must be kidding me."

He Suowu was talking hesitantly, but when he heard Bai Xuan's words, there was a hint of doubt. His sincerity, which had been burning for hundreds of years, could not be so belittled.Immediately mustered up the courage to say: "When I can't see you, I will be lost, I will miss, I have something to say to you, tell you how much I miss you... But when I really see you, I will say everything I stopped talking, thinking that if I talk too much, you will hate me, and if I talk too little, will you find me boring... Isn't this, isn't it like liking?"

Shang Lixing suddenly felt that the clouds and mist cleared before his eyes, and suddenly the sky broke through the clouds and the willows were dark and the flowers were bright. He said in his heart: "It is true. I worry about gains and losses. I miss people when I don't see them. When I see people, I dare not speak. This is liking."

There was silence for a while, and Shang Lixing could only hear two turbid breaths, one was heavy like panting, it was just about He Suwu who was talking about excitement;

Bai Xuan's voice also faltered: "But...how could it be? We've known each other for hundreds of years...it's so sudden...I, I still don't believe it..."

He Suowu had already spoken, so he ignored it and poured out all his feelings: "Every time I go out, I will bring you fresh herbs. I know you like the herbs grown in the medicine valley. I will go there whenever I am free. Pick it for you, I go to the medicine house every day to watch you take care of flowers and plants until you go out, when I see you smiling at other male cultivators, I feel so jealous that I am about to go crazy—”

"Enough - enough! Don't say any more!" Bai Xuan was so ashamed that she didn't dare to listen any more, she hurriedly stopped him: "I believe it, I believe it!"

Shang Lixing's heart was full of turmoil when he heard it, Mao Sai suddenly realized, and he woke up like a slap in the face: "Yes, yes, if I didn't really like him, how could I care so much about his every move? When I saw him I was very happy in my heart, I just thought about how to please him, and I liked it."

He Suowu calmed down, panting heavily, "It's been so many years, I can't take it anymore, I just told you, you, what do you think?"

Bai Xuan was ashamed and surprised: "I...how dare I think!"

Speechless for a while.

Shang Lixing stood there in a daze, with no sensation in his limbs and seven orifices, and only one heart was beating violently: "I am full of tenderness and infinite sincerity, but I always laugh at him for not daring to take that step. , In fact, why am I not timid and overthinking? I was hesitant before because I was afraid of piercing this layer of paper, but how can I suppress it when I feel it?" Thinking of myself In the past, he explained He Suwu at the Qianchongying Wall, but now he wakes up through He Suwu in reverse, and then understands the reason why he is deeply in love and cannot extricate himself, and he smiles helplessly.

It was so quiet there that there was still no sound, Shang Lixing deeply felt that it was indecent to eavesdrop on other people's speech, so he walked a few steps away alone and continued to rush to the back mountain.From time to time on the road, he sighed and said: "I have lived in business for more than three hundred years in vain, but this is the first time I have tasted love in my life. I didn't expect it to be so sweet." Walking to the end of the jungle, I heard two voices talking in a low voice, and my heart fell. How did Tao come so unlucky today, but he always meets others to talk privately here.

Listening carefully, it turned out that Ji Qing and Ji Rou's brother and sister were chatting here. Ji Rou was talking softly, but Ji Qing's voice seemed to be blocked in his throat, so low that he couldn't hear clearly.Shang Lixing had learned from the past, he didn't want to act like a villain, so he just retreated to the side, and the voices of the two people were automatically eliminated in the sea of ​​consciousness, so that they would go out after the two of them finished speaking, so as not to embarrass his brothers and sisters.

After staying for a while, the voices of the two brothers and sisters faded away, and after another three moments, when Shang Lixing let go of his ears, the two brothers and sisters had already gone away.Shang Lixing walked out of the jungle again, and suddenly heard footsteps behind him.But Ji Qing went and returned.Ji Qing wiped away the teardrops on his face, walked over in small steps, and said with downcast eyes: "Master, I just let you watch a joke."

Shang Lixing said in surprise, "You know I'm here."

Ji Qing whispered: "Just now, the sect master's breath leaked out, and I felt it."

Only then did Shang Lixing save himself from thinking wildly all the way, because he forgot to restrain his true energy.

Ji Qing sighed softly like a mosquito: "It turns out that he misidentified the person from the beginning to the end. He likes the little girl." His eyes were still red: "Yeah, I should have thought of it a long time ago, I How could anyone like such a bad temper? It's just that I've been deceiving myself and others."

Shang Lixing looked at Ji Qing, and found that he had become much haggard in just one day, and felt a little more pity in his heart: "Ji Qing—"

Ji Qing kept his head down, and said, "I'm fine, Sect Master. I'm just expressing my feelings."

Although Shang Lixing claimed to be eloquent, he knew that for Ji Qing at this time, no amount of words of comfort would be like sarcastic remarks.He only said softly: "Your brother and sister are my close relatives and brothers, and I will continue to support them in the future."

Ji Qing still lowered his head, but his voice was a little more determined: "Yes, my little sister is very good to me. She is my dearest person in this world. If I hurt anyone, I won't hurt her."

Shang Lixing was also relieved: "It's good if you can think about it. Don't go to Zangshu Pavilion these few days, just spend time with Xiaorou."

Ji Qing nodded lightly: "Thank you, Sect Master."

After chatting a few words, after Ji Qing left, Shang Lixing finally embarked on the road to the back mountain.On the way, he said: "It turns out that love affairs are not all sweet and joyful. Yes, let's talk about it earlier. It would be better to increase misunderstandings." is a sour.But when the love is so strong, how can you be willing to let it go?My heart is sweet and sour, mixed with sadness and joy for a while.
