As soon as Lan Yuan, who was dressed in white, sat down, a gentle white light suddenly seemed to surround the table. As soon as Lan Chengyi and the others left, Feng Zhiling was even more afraid of facing Lan Yuan alone.

She raised her eyes and said, "Master He." ”

Lan Yuan looked at Feng Zhiling and put away the green leaf that Lan Chengyi handed over to her, and asked, "I don't know if Miss Lanxi has time?"

"Did he notice something?" Feng Zhiling thought to herself. At this moment, there was no superfluous expression on his handsome and cold face, she maintained her composure and said, "Is there something wrong with Master He?"

“...... I heard Miss Lanxi mention it that day, it was because you agreed to one of Ling Xiao's requests, that he was willing to give you the antidote. I wonder if the girl agreed to his request?"

Feng Zhiling lowered her head and took a sip of tea, taking the opportunity to breathe.

“...... What I promised Ling Xiao is not a difficult thing. It's just that...... But his father was his ...... One of his subordinates, he demanded that I must return to the demon realm to be his handmaiden. Feng Zhiling said nonsense.

Lan Yuan said: "I see. ...... Since Father Venerable is a person in the Demon Realm, why does the girl have no cultivation?"

"I was sent out of the demon world by my father when I was a child, and I grew up with my mother. My mother is an ordinary person, but unfortunately passed away two years ago, and before I died, I asked me to go to the Demon Realm to find my father, and when I arrived in the Demon Realm, I learned from an old friend of my father that my father had already been killed by Ling Xiao. Later, I escaped from the Demon Realm, and on the way I met the Blue Immortal Master, who took me in and taught me some Wai Dan techniques. This time, I traveled down the mountain with the Blue Immortal Master, and happened to encounter a plague in Tong'an City, and I heard the Blue Immortal Master say that this plague is related to the Demon Realm, and Ling Xiao is my father-killing enemy, and I have also entered the Demon Realm, so I went to the Demon Realm with the Blue Immortal Master to ask for medicine. At that time, after I was blown away by the wind in Hurricane Valley, I happened to meet the old man who had a good relationship with my late father, and I was able to meet Ling Xiao. ”

Feng Zhiling had already gone through these words in her mind several times, in order to prevent Lan Yuan from asking, and now it finally came in handy, she finished calmly, and breathed a sigh of relief to herself in her heart.

Lan Yuan listened to Feng Zhiling's words in a reasonable manner, but he was a little disappointed.

"I don't know, what is the name of my father's deceased?" Lan Yuan asked.

"This ......" Feng Zhiling was embarrassed, "Master He, although this person is in the Demon Realm, he treats me very well, I'm afraid, it's inconvenient for me to tell his name." ”

"Ah, I'm sorry, I was abrupt. Lan Yuan's face was full of apologies, and he thought to himself, if I continued to ask, it would seem too deliberate.

"Miss Lanxi's life experience is so twists and turns...... Luckily, you met Lan Chengyi. Although the girl's father was a person in the demon world, she acted in a fairy style, and her heart was kind, if she ......"

Lan Yuan paused and continued, "If the girl doesn't want to be threatened by Ling Xiao to go to the Demon Realm to be a handmaiden, I may be able to help. ”

Feng Zhiling smiled and said: "Thank you Master He, you are not related to me, but you are willing to help me so much, I am very grateful." However, Ling Xiao is my father's killer, and if I stay by his side, I may still have a chance to take revenge. I have to solve this matter by myself, no matter how others help me, in the end, I still have to face it myself. ”

It's my fate, sooner or later, I'll have to take this step myself. Feng Zhiling thought so and sighed unconsciously.

Lan Yuan heard this sigh, and his heart felt a little heavy. Although he had only known Miss Lanxi for a few days, he could feel the unusual aura on her, mixed with the haze of the sun, full of helpless brightness, always like she was carrying something, worrying about something, and she didn't look like a twelve or thirteen-year-old girl.

Feng Zhiling took a new teacup, poured Lan Yuan a cup of hot tea, and handed it to him.

"Thank you, girl. ”

"You're welcome. ”

The surroundings suddenly fell silent, Feng Zhiling gently turned her cup, and after a while, she finally opened her mouth to ask the question that she had been tossing and turning for a few days-

"Master He, the woman on your jade carving...... Are you still there?—— Oh, I mean, I heard that on the twelfth day of the first month of last year, Taiyimen was slaughtered by the Demon Realm......"

Lan Yuan raised his head and said in his heart: Why is she so clear about the day when Taiyimen was slaughtered?...... Perhaps, she listened to what Lan Chengyi said.

He sighed and said, "That's my little junior sister." On the day Taiyimen was slaughtered, she suddenly disappeared, and now she doesn't know whether she is alive or dead. I've been looking for her...... But there is no whereabouts for her. ”

Feng Zhiling looked at Lan Yuan's eyes in a daze through the thin veil in front of him, and saw his lost look.

Feng Zhiling finally confirmed that the jade carving was herself.

“...... Ah, it turned out to be the little junior sister of Master He. With her statue by your side, it seems that your relationship must be good. After Feng Zhiling finished speaking, her heartbeat increased unconsciously.

"She's me...... I care about people. Lan Yuan looked at Feng Zhiling and replied softly.

Feng Zhiling felt that her head was confused for a moment, and her heartbeat seemed to skip a beat.

...... The person I had been carefully looking forward to in the past, did he also have himself in his heart?

However, why did I feel more uncomfortable after confirming it?

If it was himself in the past, he must have happily run around Taiyi Mountain for a whole day, and then smirked for three days and three nights.

Why do I know now, why do I have to ask?

"A year ago, she was injured trying to save me, and there was little hope of surviving. Lan Yuan fell into painful memories and said, "I once promised my master to protect my little sister for the rest of my life, but I saw her disappear in front of me......

"Maybe ......" Feng Zhiling opened her mouth. Her heart began to ache.

Senior brother, I am right in front of you, but I have made such a big mistake that I dare not see you.

"Maybe she's still alive and just deliberately avoiding me. Lan Yuan said.

Feng Zhiling's shoulders trembled.

"So I'm going to keep looking for her, and if I don't see her body for a day, I won't give up for a day. Lan Yuan continued.

"I hope that Master He will achieve his wish as soon as possible. Feng Zhiling said in a low voice. She couldn't stay in front of Lan Yuan any longer, her voice was already unstable, and she was about to be unable to hold on.

"Master He, I still have something to do, so I'll leave first. Feng Zhiling got up suddenly, and the bamboo chair behind her was accidentally kicked over by her, and she hurriedly helped up the bamboo chair.

"Sister Lanxi, sister!" Wood panted and ran over, stood in front of Feng Zhiling, and said excitedly, "I heard that my sister is leaving today, can you go with Wood?"

"Wood, the place my sister is going to is not a good place, the people there are very bad and fierce, and they can kill. Feng Zhiling explained to Mu, "It's dangerous for a child like you to go. ”

"Isn't it dangerous for my sister to go by herself?" asked Wood.

"yes, I didn't want to go either, but I had to. If I go alone, I can take care of myself, but if I take you with me, I won't be able to take care of it. Feng Zhiling patted him on the shoulder and said patiently to the wood, "So, it's not that my sister doesn't want to take you, it's that my sister can't take you, you know?"

Mu nodded very sensibly, took out a small clay figure from his arms, and painted it with colors—aqua green clothes, red hair, and red pupils—and handed it to Feng Zhiling, and he said seriously: "This is for a sister." I hope that when my sister sees this clay figure in the future, she will think of wood. ”

Feng Zhiling glanced at Lan Yuan, took the small clay figurine that was rough in workmanship but obviously took a lot of effort to knead, and thought to herself that she had already seen two statues of herself in the past two days, what was wrong?

She said to the wood, "Wood, I didn't expect your hands to be so skillful. - Sister will give you a big name, okay? Just call - Huixin, smart wisdom, happy heart, okay? Sister thinks you are very smart, and I hope you will be happy every day in the future. ”

"Hui Xin, Hui Xin, Xin Xin," Mu was overjoyed when he had a big name, and silently recited the new name twice, jumping up happily, "Thank you, sister!

Lan Yuan also smiled, he pointed to the clay figure in Feng Zhiling's hand and asked, "Can you take a look?"

Feng Zhiling hesitated for a moment and handed her the clay figure, anyway, the clay figure is a person with a nose and eyes, a full beard and a full tail, so he shouldn't be able to see anything, right?

Lan Yuan looked at the clay figurine with great interest, the wood has slowly become familiar with Lan Yuan in the past few days, and when he saw him look at his work so carefully, he said proudly: "Brother Lan Yuan, it's good-looking! I like to shape small clay figurines since I was a child, and they all say that the little clay figurines I make are very beautiful!"

Feng Zhiling couldn't help but laugh and said, "Well, it's good." However, it is not as good as Lan Yuan's brother's plastic. As soon as the words came out, Feng Zhiling felt that she had said the wrong thing, and she couldn't wait to choke back the words.

"Brother Lan Yuan also makes clay figures, can I take a look?" asked Mu Tou excitedly, with a taste of heroes seeing each other.

Feng Zhiling hurriedly stopped: "Wood, Brother Lan Yuan is not you, how can you make a little clay figure, by the way, how is Yuanbao now, you go to see him, tell her that her sister is leaving, and ask him to say goodbye to his sister, okay?"

She wanted to get rid of the wood as soon as possible.

"But didn't my sister just say that Brother Lan Yuan's little clay figure is better than me?" Brother Lan Yuan, show me, okay?" Mu Tou begged, "After I finished reading, I went to call Yuan Bao to come over." ”

"Absolutely. Lan Yuan smiled slightly. Feng Zhiling didn't have time to speak again, Lan Yuan had already taken out the jade carving wrapped in silk cloth and handed it to the wood.

If you grab it now, isn't it a bit too much? Feng Zhiling's chest jumped wildly.

The wood took over the jade carving, and seeing that the package was so exquisite, he carefully opened Bo Juan, for fear of getting dirty and damaging it.

"Wow......" exclaimed Wood, "what a pretty......! This is a jade carving, right?"

The wood held the jade carving and looked at it carefully, he couldn't put it down, but he was short of words, but he kept smacking his tongue and said: "It's so beautiful!"

"After reading it, hurry up and return it to my brother. Feng Zhiling urged. Silent recitation in my heart: Don't see it......

Unexpectedly, Mu Tou asked: "Brother Lan Yuan, is this really carved by you? This is also so beautiful! It is exactly the same as Sister Lan Xi! Sister is right, it is much more beautiful than my clay figurine! I know what it is, what is the difference between heaven and earth—— that, Brother Lan Yuan, can you teach me? I worship you as a teacher, can you teach me well?"

Feng Zhiling's ears buzzed, and she completely gave up struggling.

"Sister, then you won't dislike me for making you so ugly, right?" The wood continued to chatter, quite embarrassed, "Although the jade carving that Brother Lan Yuan made for you is very beautiful, but the little clay figure also took two days to make it from wood, sister, don't dislike it......"

And Feng Zhiling couldn't hear the sound of wood at all.

She saw Lan Yuan, staring motionlessly into her eyes. Although there was a veil, although she lowered her head, she just knew that Lan Yuan was staring at her eyes, staring at her so much that she didn't dare to raise her head or breathe.

"Sister, I will carve such a beautiful jade carving for you in the future. The wood was still talking to himself, and finally put the jade carving he couldn't put down on the table, placed it firmly in front of the three people, and sighed: "My sister is riding a crane, she really looks like a fairy." ”

"Hmm. Feng Zhiling replied stunned, "Wood, after reading the jade carving, you go and see the ingots." ”

"Hmm!" Wood replied, happily getting up and jumping away.

It wasn't until the wood walked away that Feng Zhiling finally came back to her senses, she picked up the jade carving in front of the two of them, hurriedly wrapped it in white silk again, handed it to Lan Yuan, and said: "Master He, the wood is he, nonsense, he is mistaken, thinking that the person who carved the jade is me." ”

Lan Yuan stood up, still staring at her motionlessly, and his tone was calm and a little crazy: "Miss Lanxi, why are the eyes and hair of this little clay figure red?"

"Master He, I ......," Feng Zhiling lowered her head and said, "Because I have had a disease since I was a child, my eyes and hair have turned red. ”

Lan Yuan said: "I finally understand why Miss Lanxi goes out with either a veil or a hat, and never shows her true face. ”

"yes, I'm ...... I'm afraid that others will treat me as a female ghost, so I have to do this. ”

The more Lan Yuan didn't ask directly, the more panicked Lan Xi became.

"Why is this happening?" Lan Yuan asked.

"The disease brought out of the mother's womb," Feng Zhiling said, "this disease cannot be cured." ”

Lan Yuan was silent for a moment and said, "Now that I already know Miss Lanxi's disease, can I see the girl's face." ”

Feng Zhiling secretly clenched her fingers and said in a low voice, "Please don't force me...... After all, after all, this is on the side of the road, and there are a lot of people coming and going. ”

"Okay, then let's go where no one is. Lan Yuan said and immediately stood up, tucked the two statues in his sleeves, and was about to reach out to pull Feng Zhiling, but he took it back again, and only said, "Girl, please come with me." ”

Lan Yuan's tone could not be refused, Feng Zhiling followed him so stiffly, turned a few alleys, and followed Lan Yuan to the charred City God Temple, which had been burned to a large area of black charcoal and dilapidated, and sure enough, there was no one.

The two stopped in the corner beside the charred-coloured trunk of a tree more than a man tall.

"Miss Lanxi, please, let me see your true face. Lan Yuan looked down at Feng Zhiling, and there was a tremor in his voice.

Feng Zhiling just stood, her hands hanging down at her sides, clenching her fists tightly, like a child who had made a mistake.

Lan Yuan repeated again: "Miss Lanxi...... Show me. ”

After a long time, Feng Zhiling finally replied, "...... Good. ”

She slowly untied the rope that tied her hat and removed it from her head.

She raised her head and looked at Lan Yuan.

She saw the glint in his eyes. There is also a lot of heat, anger, heartache, and flowing affection.

It made her feel sad.

So what, everything is so ridiculous, when you can't go back, you realize that you once had it.

Feng Zhiling said coldly: "Master He, now that you have seen it, it's okay." I still have something to do, so I'll go first. With that, she turned and walked away.

"Senior Sister Feng. Lan Yuan shouted behind her.

Feng Zhiling paused in his footsteps and said, "Who is Master He calling?"

"Call you. Lan Yuan's footsteps gradually approached her.

"My name is Lan Xi. Feng Zhiling chuckled lightly and said, "Does Master He treat me as someone else?"

"Where have you been this year?" Lan Yuan walked in front of her, blocking her way.

"Master He. Feng Zhiling made up her mind and refused to admit it. She is now twelve or thirteen years old Lan Xi, not eighteen-year-old Feng Zhiling. She took a deep breath, raised her head, and pretended to be innocent and said, "You may have recognized the wrong person, right? I'm not the little junior sister on your jade carving, my name is Lan Xi." I'm sure we first met a few days ago. I know you've been looking for her, but it's clear that I'm not. ”

She saw Lan Yuan's tears dripping down one by one. It was the first time she had seen him cry, and one by one it flowed into her heart.

Why did you let me see this?

Lan Yuan stared into her eyes and asked, "Why did you say it was obviously not you?"

"Because...... You see, my appearance, my age, are different from hers. Feng Zhiling tugged at her hair and explained, "I know we look a little alike, but in fact, when I saw the jade carving that day, I thought you carved it." ”

"How do you know that you look different and how old you are? Lan Yuan took a step forward and continued to ask.

"Because ......" Feng Zhiling found that the more she explained, the more confused it became, she knew that she couldn't explain it clearly, so she simply didn't explain: "I don't know." All I know is that I haven't met Master He before. ”

Lan Yuan's heart ached, and he asked in a dumb voice, "Why do you want to avoid me?" I have been looking for you and many places in the past year...... Senior brother really misses you...... Now that Senior Brother has finally found you, why don't you recognize me?"

Feng Zhiling didn't dare to look at her anymore, and hurriedly turned around, tears couldn't stop pouring out, and her thin shoulders trembled with silent sobbing.

She thought that she could continue to disguise, continue to disguise indifferently, and she could leave this place and leave this person quickly...... But at this moment, she couldn't hold on any longer.

Lan Yuan gently hugged her from behind in distress, buried his head between the hair whirls above her head, and muttered: "Don't avoid me anymore, okay? What's the matter, senior brother bears it with you, let's do it together, okay? How can senior brother be willing to let you be alone outside and bear so much alone?"

Feng Zhiling let Lan Yuan hug her tightly from behind. Warm and powerful hands, whispering softly, what a happy thing.

However, none of this belongs to me.

I am the daughter of the Demon Venerable, and I am the scourge of the Three Realms.

I am an accomplice in the slaughter of Taiyimen, and I am the murderer who killed hundreds of my fellow brothers with my own hands.

Why should I let others bear it with me?

But just let me enjoy it a little longer—this hug, this warmth, just wait a little longer.

She suddenly hated Blue City.

If it weren't for him, he wouldn't have known his true identity at all, maybe he would have died a long time ago, maybe the living who were still confused, wouldn't be as sober but painful as he is today.

"I ...... Going to go. Feng Zhiling forced herself to slowly stop sobbing, her voice was a little hoarse, but she still tried to maintain a normal tone and said, "I'm sorry Master He, I can't help but be sad with you." You...... Don't be too upset, you'll always find your little sister. ”

Lan Yuan didn't speak.

Feng Zhiling gently broke free of his hand, picked up the hat and put it on his head, and said, "I'm going to say goodbye to the wood, and then, I'm going to set off for the Demon Realm." He Zhangmen, there will be a period later. ”

Feng Zhiling walked away step by step, and she didn't look back.
