After Liu's explanation, Zhou Yan understood the accurate relationship between him and Li. And after Zhou Yan's inquiry, I realized that I had forgotten about something very important, and I seemed lost for a while.

But the matter is a foregone conclusion, and you can only blame yourself for forgetting such an important thing.

Li has always been sullen about this, and I don't know if she is angry that she forgot such an important matter, or angry that she made such an important decision lightly.

But after Zhou Yan promised to invite her to a big meal, Li became happy again. It seems that things that are so important to the dependents, as well as the problems that Zhou Yan needs to face after becoming a dependent, have been forgotten because of the upcoming feast.

Should she be praised for being super good and positive? Or is she really just a child? Zhou Yan was a little speechless about the fact that Li was able to accept reality so lightly and buy it with just a big meal.

To Zhou Yan's surprise, he came to the door in the evening. The girl magician looked very tired, and there was a lot of dust on her clothes, as if she had done something to do. And I heard Yoyo say that it was because an adventurer told her that Zhou Yan had gone to find her, thinking that Zhou Yan had something important to tell her, so he came over.

"Actually, I just thought I should practice more, after all, I have gained a lot after this battle. I hope to be able to improve my strength as much as possible. So I want to find Yoyo to team up with you to go out for training. Zhou Yan said apologetically: "I'm sorry, I didn't expect you to be so tired and let you come over." ”

"It's fine." Yoyo shook his head: "It's not far anyway." However, I shouldn't be able to be with Mr. Yan for a few days. I'm so sorry! ”

He bowed and apologized.

"You don't have to." Zhou Yan hurriedly waved his hand: "It's that I didn't take into account that you also have your own affairs." Don't worry, I'll take care of the cultivation myself. ”

"By the way, since we're all here, why don't you go to dinner together?"

"Nope." Yoyo obviously hesitated, but finally shook his head: "I'm sorry, I'm willing to invite people like me to dinner......"

"Hey, you can't say that about yourself no matter what......"

"Ah, no...... I'm just happy. The girl said with some embarrassment: "But I'm really sorry, I just want to rest quickly." Really tired today......"

Seeing the tangled expression on the girl's face, Zhou Yan smiled: "Okay, just leave it for next time, anyway, we are companions in a squad, and there will be opportunities in the future." But Yoyo, you still have to remember to pay attention to your body and don't overdo it! ”

"Hmm!" For Zhou Yan's concern, a smile appeared on Youyou's face and he nodded heavily.

"Ah, yes!" As if he suddenly remembered something, Yoyo took out a card from his pocket and handed it to Zhou Yan: "That, Mr. Yan, I hope you can help me keep this thing first." ”

Zhou Yan took the card handed by Youyou and found that it looked the same as the adventurer's card, but in fact it was still very different.

"What is this?"

"It's from the old world, but it doesn't work now...... So I hope Mr. Yan can help me keep it for the time being. ”

"Yes, yes, but why me? And it should be something important, right? ”

"It can also be said to be very important." The magician girl nodded, showing a frank and relaxed smile: "However, even though it can't be used, I still want to rely on it...... I want to learn from Mr. Yan and rely on myself to fight. So, for the time being, please ask Mr. Yan. ”

When the girl showed such a beautiful and firm smile, of course Zhou Yan couldn't refuse.

……

The houses of Winterstone are arranged in an orderly manner on both sides of the street. In between, alleys are large and small, wide or narrow.

These are the places where the naughty children are generally whistling by. It could also be a place where some people secretly make shady deals.

And among these countless alleys, there is one that Yasuo is now living in temporarily.

The staggered eaves above perfectly block out the sunlight and the rain that may arrive. If you are strong enough, the weather in autumn will not be too cold to make you cold.

Originally, Akali was willing to help Yasuo pay for the hotel. And as long as Yasuo becomes an adventurer, he can earn a considerable amount of money by doing a few high-risk and high-reward tasks with his strength.

Yasuo did not refuse to become an adventurer, and had already completed several hunting missions. But instead of staying at the hotel, he stayed in this alley.

Because even if he stayed in a hotel, he wouldn't need a bed. Holding the sword with his back against the wall in this way allowed him to rest in peace.

Yes, rest, not sleep. Even with his eyes closed, Yasuo wouldn't fall asleep. It's not that he loses the ability to sleep, but that whenever he falls asleep, he is awakened by countless nightmares.

Only those who are innocent will sleep peacefully.

These are the words he has said countless times. However, Yasuo was not innocent. By the time he chose to leave the Elder and rush into battle, abandoning his duties and eventually killing the Elder, he was already ruined and guilty.

Moreover, he also escaped from the trial, escaping the punishment he deserved.

Flee because Yasuo was accused of being a murderer. They said that he killed the elder and did not even give him a chance to refute and justify himself. He was to be executed on the spot.

You can't just bear sins that don't belong to you like this! This was Yasuo's idea at the time, so in order to clear his name of this crime that did not belong to him, Yasuo drew his sword to resist and fled.

Naturally, after this he was wanted - as a fugitive after the murder. So there were countless pursuers, and for his own obsession, he could only kill the pursuers one by one, because if he didn't kill them, he would die.

Originally, Yasuo, who was the only one of his disciples who had mastered the sword technique of the Wind Resistant, would become the mainstay of the Wind Resisting Sect in the future, and even the head of the sect in the future. But now he is just a fugitive criminal wanted by all of Ionia.

The real culprit must be found, and the charges that do not belong to him must be cleared. Otherwise, there is no point in paying such a large price.

It is precisely because of this belief or paranoia that Yasuo is able to kill his pursuers all the way. Kill those fellow disciples, old acquaintances, compatriots, and even kill their own brothers with their own hands that night.

However, one cannot deceive oneself. No matter what the reason is, he can't hide the fact that he keeps killing.

Perhaps, maybe he just wants to live, and he just doesn't want to die before he runs away. And that obsession is just an excuse for self-deception.

More than once, Yasuo asked himself this inwardly. And he, however, could not give an answer. All that continues is to repeat yesterday's actions once again, kill the pursuers, and move on.

They said he was a murderer, and Yasuo didn't think it was wrong. At least, his hands were covered in blood as he fled the judgment that was supposed to come, slashing his pursuers along the way.

Not to mention those who hunted him down for bounty or honor, there were always a few of those who were only to be executed for the sake of pure justice. And what is it that killing themselves with their own hands is not a murderer?

Moreover, his hands were stained with his brother's blood in the end.

Did even his own brother think he had killed the Elder? Do you all believe the false lie?

When they finally decided the winner, when his brother fell into his arms. Yasuo asks him why even his relatives think he is the murderer.

The answer was that the elder had died under the Wind Resisting Sword Technique. At that time, his brother Yong Eun, who was obviously weak, showed a mocking smile: "Who else can do it? ”

Then he slept in his arms. His brother, who had always been stronger than him, died lightly under his sword. Is Yasuo getting stronger, or is Yon getting weaker?

Perhaps, Yasuo has already got the answer. And yet he's still searching, looking for the real murderer.

He was a sinful man, so he could not sleep. Every time he closed his eyes, the faces of those who had died at his hands appeared. In particular, the killing of his brother with his own hands has become Yasuo's lingering nightmare.

So, he could only rely on spirits and forcibly let himself get drunk and fall asleep. is obviously in the pursuit, but he dares to get drunk. Perhaps Yasuo was expecting to be killed in a drunken manner to end this long escape. After all, he is conscious, and he will not let go of the obsession that has been deeply rooted in his mind no matter what.

However, he did not die. Even when he was drunk, he could still sense danger when it came. Then wake up in an instant, draw your sword and fight.

"Gong, let me sleep." Yasuo looked up, the eaves of the house making it impossible for him to see the night sky.

The voice of Gong came from his head: "Okay." ”

Putting people into pseudo-sleep is only part of the power of Gong. However, this part alone is crucial to Yasuo.

He couldn't sleep peacefully and sooner or later he would have a nervous breakdown due to lack of sleep. In fact, when he came to this world, the long-term inability to sleep had made his spirit almost collapse.

The ability of Gong is to transfer the spirit and consciousness, and will make the recipient's spirit and consciousness in a state of confusion at the same time as it is activated, which is very similar to the state of sleep. However, because of the consumption of maintaining the Gong all the time, Yasuo only has less than five hours of "sleep" time every day.

However, it was only five hours, and it was a gift from heaven for Yasuo. But beyond that, Yasuo was once again confused. In this strange world, where should he go?

……

……

Late at night, most of Winterstone had fallen silent. But the lights were still on in the room.

She didn't want to rest immediately because she was too tired as she told Zhou Yan. On the contrary, he looked full of energy, as if he was ready to do a big job.

"First, let's start with categorization!" The girl muttered to herself as she began to sort out the various plants and unknown materials on the table: "You must study hard! I will definitely be able to help Mr. Shangyan next time! ”
