In the dimly lit room, Ling Chen sat alone in a chair. His face was glazed and his eyes were dark, like a walking corpse.

This is the fifth floor, which is already quite high. Outside the window, you can still see the leaves waving and swaying in the wind. But it all seemed so silent, a single shadow.

I don't know what Ling Chen was thinking at this time, maybe his heart was very chaotic, or maybe his heart was blank and he didn't think about anything.

I don't know how long it took, but it seemed to be getting darker outside. Under the dim night, Ling's originally bright eyes were dim at this time.

"Squeak. ”

The sound of the door opening did not alarm Ling Chen, he still sat silently like that, without saying a word.

"The college is really big, and it took me a long time to find the cafeteria. I also bought some snacks to satisfy my cravings in the evening. Wang Qingyun's voice came from the door. It's normal, it's like a normal chat.

"Let's eat first. Wang Qingyun took out two large bowls of rice from the Qiankun bag, as well as four dishes, all of which were packed in bowls.

"I feel that the food in the college is really expensive, two meats, one vegetarian and one soup, eighty yuan. I can't afford to eat. Wang Qingyun pursed his lips and complained slightly about the price of the college meals.

There are two wooden tables and four chairs against the wall in the dormitory. Wang Qingyun put the food on the wooden table and moved another chair.

"It's time to eat. Wang Qingyun greeted Ling Chen and took out two pairs of chopsticks.

Unmoved.

"Even if you're in a daze, you have to eat the rice before you talk, right?" Wang Qingyun held the rice in one hand and knocked the edge of the bowl with chopsticks with the other, making a crisp sound.

"Eat the meal first, and I'll show you something good in a while. As soon as the words changed, Wang Qingyun suddenly glanced at Ling Chen flatteringly.

"Look!" As he spoke, Wang Qingyun took out a wine jar from his Qiankun bag.

"I found out that alcohol was not allowed to be sold in the college. Wang Qingyun pretended to be calm and said, "But brother, I have channels." ”

"In the evening, have a little wine and a snack or something. Tsk tsk, life is just that. ”

After speaking, Wang Qingyun put the wine jar on the table, and then picked up the bowl and prepared to eat.

"Oh?"

Ling Chen seemed to move and slowly got up. A smile suddenly welled up at the corner of Wang Qingyun's mouth, in his opinion, his persuasion was at least effective. Although there is no way to share the pain for Ling Chen, it is also important to let him go hungry, and it is very important to eat.

Ling Chen looked very weak, after all, he had been silent for so long, and suddenly he moved again, and it didn't look so natural. Seeing Ling Chen's hand stretched out to the side of the dishes and chopsticks, Wang Qingyun couldn't help but nod with satisfaction.

However, at the moment when his hand was about to touch, he chose the jar of wine that was set aside.

They are not yet sixteen years old, and nominally cannot drink. And the academy also stipulates that alcohol cannot be sold, and I don't know where Wang Qingyun got it.

Of course, it's not a famous sake, it's just ordinary rice lees. But for them, drinking is also the first experience, and I hope to have a good impression.

took the wine jar, lifted the red lid, Ling Chen held the wine jar with both hands and tilted his head and began to pour it into his stomach.

"What are you doing?!" Wang Qingyun was startled, threw down the dishes and chopsticks in his hand and hurriedly stopped Ling Chen.

He didn't expect that Ling Chen would be so paranoid about it

Get yourself drunk. Originally, Wang Qingyun thought that when the evening came, the brothers drank a little wine and expressed their inner sighs. Then persuade him not to be too obsessed with the defeat in front of him. But I didn't expect Ling Chen to play his cards according to the routine, and wanted to simply get drunk himself.

snatched the wine jar, looked at the wine on Ling Chen's face, and looked like he was loveless. Wang Qingyun hated that iron could not become steel, and there was an inexplicable anger in his heart.

"Ling Chen, look at yourself, what are you doing!" grabbed Ling Chen's clothes, Wang Qingyun roared almost close to Ling Chen's ears. He hoped that in this way, he could wake up Ling Chen.

"Look at what you look like now? Ahhh What did she give you to make you feel so sorry for her?"

"Where did you go when you were once powerful? We have come all the way from the Eternal Demon Forbidden, no matter how great the suffering and tiredness are, how come I haven't seen you like this?"

"You sober me up!" Wang Qingyun's fist was originally about to swing at Ling Chen's face, but the arc in the air unconsciously dropped a few points, and even the strength was much lighter. The fist finally smashed into Ling Chen's chest, making a dull sound.

One hand scattered the dust, and also pushed the other hand by the way. Originally, he planned to wake up Ling Chen, but in the end, he still couldn't do it. Violence will not solve many problems, nor will it be a solution to the knot in Ling Chen's heart.

"Whew!" Wang Qingyun exhaled heavily, calming his thoughts. At the same time, he was also thinking about what kind of reason should be used to persuade Ling Chen.

"Dust, listen to me. In the end, Wang Qingyun changed to the deepest and gentler voice possible.

"You came to Dongsheng Academy to study, and you have to make it clear that your purpose is not to find Xiao Zisoul, but to have a better future. Not only for yourself, but also for the sake of it, Wang Qingyun handed over Ling Chen's storage ring to him.

"I'm sorry I broke it for you. ”

Ling Tianze left a total of two things for Ling Chen, but by coincidence, the Broken Sky Sword was lost by Wang Qingyun, and now even the storage ring has been broken.

Ling Chen's eyes gradually regained their light after seeing the small storage ring. Holding it tightly in his hand, his eyes staring at the storage ring and refusing to move it.

It's just a storage ring made of some metal and scraps, and it looks mediocre on the outside. There was a slight glow of broken stones, but many cracks could already be seen. The array seal had also been completely shattered, without the slightest spatial fluctuation.

Now it seems that it is just an ordinary ring, but it is the last thing that the second uncle left him.

"After tomorrow, you have to behave well and work hard. Only by using actions to reflect their own value will they succeed in attracting other attention. Isn't the purpose of coming to the Eastern Saint Academy so that he can enter the Peace Alliance in the future and become a half-official, powerful, and glorify his ancestors. ”

"Do you want to learn from Xu Ziqing, join Hao Yixuan, and be a mediocre seal repair? Then why don't you be more respected as a seal master? Do you want to learn from Ning Yuanru and feel the suffering of the world. A lifetime of deep into the mountains, upside down. Live a life away from the world, escaping from reality?Think about which path you want to take, the path you thought about the moment you stepped into the teleportation array. ”

"I'll give you a day to cheer up. You can continue to sink like this, but only today. After today, if you are still like this bear, then I can only beat you until you are sober

Stop. ”

In the end, Wang Qingyun still believes that threats of violence are his usual approach. But it doesn't matter what the practical solution is, as long as people can understand the reason and can accept it with ease, then it will be successful.

After a short period of contemplation, Ling Chen finally came to his senses. In fact, he understands everything, he understands everything, but he is not willing to accept reality so easily.

As if he was in the eternal demon forbidden, he killed Mentor Liu Yuan because of his initial cowardice. For Liu Yuan's death, Ling Chen has always blamed himself. If he had been able to run away faster, would Liu Yuan have been able to concentrate on escaping instead of sacrificing to save him?

He can't be decadent, he carries the hope of more than one person, and the slightest pause will be exchanged for countless regrets in the future. Fortunately, in the past year, even though there were many mistakes, their group still came over safely.

Just like he said to his eldest brother at the beginning, he still has a lot to do. In the future, the eldest brother can be happy, instead of living a life of licking blood from the knife all day long.

Hunting beasts, on the surface, seems to be free and uninhibited, but in fact it is a hard life of gambling tomorrow with today. Because I don't know when I will lose my life because of fatal mistakes and dangers. The most tragic thing is that there are still old and young people in the family to support.

Just like when talking to Ning Yuanru, you should face your heart, instead of hiding vaguely and cowering. The reason why she can talk to Ning Yuanru so freely is only because she can see through Ling Chen's inner thoughts, and she can say it directly without any worries, so that Ling Chen has to face this problem.

When the concerns in my heart are solved, my heart is naturally peaceful. Whether it's the feeling of the heart, or the feeling of the person. At this time, she attributed all her favorability to Ning Yuanru, but she also deserved it. Not everyone can see through a person's heart. It's not a skill, it's really understanding him.

The second uncle told him that he should walk the road by himself, and not be burdened by the ideas imposed by others. The second uncle is right, but Ling Chen just hopes that the people who care about him and the people he cares about can have a good result. Although the second uncle is for his good, it is indeed too selfish for such a person to live.

Many times, he would rather go back to the small courtyard of the two trees and have tea with the second uncle.

Xiao Zisoul, he had probably forgotten her face, and only vaguely remembered that there was a figure that had been lingering in his mind. The little girl with pear blossoms and rain cried and asked him to go to Dongsheng Academy to find her. He didn't want to live up to it because that was his promise.

Even for a few days, he still couldn't see the girl's face clearly. Or he saw it clearly, but the hurt heart made him forget it again.

It's naturally not bad to have regrets about this, because he already knew that everything was over, and he should persuade himself to let go. Instead of sinking in the imagination, it is better to face the reality.

This was something he had thought of a long, long time ago, and in fact he had thought of a myriad of answers. It's just that when it actually happens, he can't do it as if nothing happened.

Picking up the dishes and chopsticks, Ling Chen took the chopsticks and ate the rice. It is very fragrant, full of color and fragrance.

"It's a little cold. Ling Chen said.

Wang Qingyun couldn't help laughing when he heard this. Perhaps a little depressed, he opened his mouth again and moved his jaw around.

“”

"Hahahaha~" The two looked at each other and laughed at the same time.
