Chapter 38: Don't Change the Fate of Others at will
There are three palaces of demons: the pavilion leads to heaven and goes down to the earth; the Fuhua Palace covers all the treasures of the Three Realms; there are countless scriptures and treasures hidden in the Jade Palace.
Although it was destroyed by a fire in Qihuang at the beginning, many classics are still preserved. If you want to treat the injuries on Yangchun's face and make it recover as before, you will inevitably go to the Ruyu Hall to search.
For example, the treasure book in the jade hall can neither see the light nor stand the moisture, so the hall is dim all the year round, and it is illuminated by a few shark oil lamps.
On that day, Ling Shang scanned the shelf of the Ruyu Hall over and over again, trying to find a useful method from the book.
At this moment, she inadvertently caught a glimpse of a figure that would never have appeared here in her impression - Shang Yu.
Everyone knows that Shang Yu has always been cynical, and he doesn't like to dance and ink the most, and this is like the Jade Palace, which is the most angry place in the entire Demon Realm, how could he appear here? Interestingly, the book in his hand, Ling Shang had read it, and he had the impression that it seemed to be an article about resurrecting the dead.
But at that time, Ling Sheng only felt that the book was full of absurd words, so he just flipped through it at random, and did not go too deep, after all, how could anyone come back to life?
Unexpectedly, Shang Yu was still interested in bringing the dead back to life.
Ling Shang kept an eye on his intentions and deliberately observed his behavior, but unexpectedly, it was this gaze full of desire to explore that attracted Shang Yu's attention.
Shang Yu also noticed that someone was paying attention to him, looked up and glanced around, and found Ling Shang not far away.
He smiled kindly, beckoned to Ling Shang, and greeted, "Miss Ling Shang, what a coincidence, you are also here?"
Since Shang Yu had already taken the lead in opening his mouth, Ling Shang did not evade, and responded generously: "Yes, it's just to find something, but it's really unexpected to meet Shang Yu Gongzi here." ”
Shang Yu Heshu walked towards Ling Shang and said, "Look at what you said, I also have a desire for knowledge." ”
Ling Sheng smiled apologetically: "The book that Shang Yu Gongzi reads is very special." ”
"Oh, you said this?" Shang Yan's gaze looked at the book in his hand, and he didn't shy away from it, "I accidentally flipped through it, and I thought that what the author said was quite interesting, so I took a few more looks." Speaking of which, why didn't Qihuang join you today?"
"She's gone to the back mountain. Ling Shang responded.
When Shang Yu heard this, he frowned, and was quite puzzled: "The terrain of the back mountain is steep and full of dangers, she is a weak woman, what is she going to do in the back mountain?" Could it be that she was embarrassed by Mr. again?"
Childe laughed, since that day the Demon Lord bluntly said that he was happy with Qihuang, how dare Mr. embarrass her again, but it is true that it has caused public anger. ”
Since that day, both the Demon Lord and the wolf Shao Kun have bluntly said that they like Qihuang, and her situation has become a little more dangerous. If she was targeted everywhere in the past just because of her poor identity, but now, she has been accused of hooking up and seducing the Demon King, and she is afraid that her life will be even worse.
Thinking about it this way, it was really inappropriate to act on that day.
Shang Yu defended it: "Qi Ling is indeed biased in acting like this, but he is also in a hurry. After all, the Qihuang exchange period is about to expire, and if you don't do anything, I'm afraid you'll miss the opportunity. ”
When she said this, she seemed to remember. The hostages of the Demon Realm and the Heavenly Realm are exchanged once every three years, and before they know it, Qihuang has been in the Demon Realm for some time, and after ten months, she will be able to get out.
Shang Yu said again: "Since Mr. didn't embarrass Qihuang, why did she suddenly go up the back mountain?"
"Yangchun's cheeks were destroyed, and the two of us were thinking about a cure. In the past monthly test, Qihuang burned down the Jade Hall with a fire, and naturally he couldn't enter the palace gate. So I came to the Jade Hall to find a way, and she went up the back mountain to find herbs. Ling Shang raised his head and came to 1510.
"Yangchun's face was disfigured?" Shang Yu frowned when he heard this, saying that he was completely unaware of this matter, "How did you ruin it?"
Ling Shang replied coldly: "Shao Kun is happy with Qihuang, but he can't get a reply, so he naturally wants to take revenge." ”
"The son of the wolf king family is so arrogant. Shang Yu looked displeased.
Yangchun is also his friend, Shao Kun actually dares to even move his people?
Who knew that Ling Sheng smiled disdainfully when he heard this, and said: "It's not just arrogant, it's just arrogant." On that day, the demon lord came to the school and said that he wanted to take Qihuang as a concubine, but Shao Kun stopped him. ”
Shang Yu was shocked: "What do you mean, he still dares to rob people with Qi Ling?"
This Shao Kun is worthy of being the son of the wolf king, and he really has blood, but in this situation, I don't know whether his bloodiness is a blessing or a curse.
Ling Shang retorted again: "Qihuang has no other thoughts about the Demon King, and I'm afraid the word 'robbing people' is inappropriate." ”
Shang Yu was stunned when he heard this, and then apologized again and again: "Yes, it is reasonable for Miss Shang to say this, but Shang Yu is abrupt." ”
There was no obvious change in expression on Ling Shang's face, still cold, still unapproachable. A long time ago, Shang Yu even doubted that this girl's heart was made of ice, as if nothing could make her heart move for a moment, and her impression was only the word "indifference", and there was no intersection in addition.
But it wasn't until she met Qihuang that Shang Yu began to gradually discover that this girl was not as cold as she seemed on the surface, but she was really cute and not easy to make friends, but once she made friends, she would definitely be unwavering.
Ling Sheng didn't respond to Shang Yan's apology, but he still had a cold face and said eloquently: "Shang Yu Gongzi, Ling Sheng has something I want to tell you, if Gongzi is unhappy to hear it, Quan I won't say anything today." ”
"Oh, what's that?" Shang Yan became interested.
"Shang Yu Gongzi, I hope you don't change the trajectory of other people's fates at will in the future, unless you can guarantee that you have the ability to be responsible to the end. When Ling Sheng said this, his eyes flashed with a clear light.
In fact, if it was the original Lingshang, I am afraid that she would not mention this matter to Shang Yu, but after coming into contact with Qihuang, she felt more and more that if she didn't make this clear today, she would definitely regret it.
Shang Yu was puzzled, seeing her like this, she seemed to be dissatisfied with what she had done. He asked, "What do you mean by that?"
"You brought Yangchun from Bailan Mountain, you pity her for being lonely, and your good intentions are obvious, but are you sure that you are doing the right thing, or do you think about the consequences?" Ling Sheng said directly, without the slightest evasion.
"Miss Lingshang, Shang Yu is puzzled. Shang Yu frowned, changed his normal, and a serious expression appeared on his usual frivolous face.
"Yangchun is the spiritual grass on Bailan Mountain, if there was no interference from you at the beginning, it must have inhabited Bailan Mountain at this moment. But because you couldn't bear it for a while, you recklessly brought her to the Demon Realm Hall and let her be with a group of Demon Realm disciples. On Bailan Mountain, all she endured was loneliness and snow and ice, and no matter how difficult she was, she would be attacked by the wild beasts around her, but she would eventually grow. In the Demon Realm, she has to suffer from loneliness and face the bullying of others, and you, the person who brought her, have no ability, or mental strength, to protect her and interfere in the future. From this point of view, bringing her from Bailan Mountain to the Demon Realm is undoubtedly an extremely irresponsible stupid thing. On Bailan Mountain, she will always grow up on her own, but when she reaches the Demon Realm, no one knows if she can withstand the strangeness and malice around her. ”
In fact, Ling Sheng also had a good impression of Shang Yu, and only thought that he was a kind-hearted person with no sense of fame and fortune, but in the matter of Yangchun, she felt that he was indeed biased.
Even Qihuang didn't think about these things. Only Ling Shang knew that unwarranted overtures and reckless help seemed to be gifts, but in fact they were fatal to anyone.
After hearing this, Shang Yu was speechless. No one had ever said anything like this to him, and he had never been told to do good deeds with the consequences in mind. It turns out that what I think is a good thing is not necessarily a good thing in the real sense.
It is true that he brought Yangchun with him, and he never thought about what kind of situation she would have after she came to the Demon Realm, and whether he had the strength to continue to be responsible for her, but he had a brain fever at that time, so he took action.
Shang Yu didn't speak for a long time, and a wave of shame surged up in his heart repeatedly. After a while, Shang Yu muttered: "What Miss Ling Shang said is, thank you for the teachings, Shang Yu must remember." It was my negligence that never thought about it. ”
Yangchun's face was ruined, and she might be able to recover with various home remedies and medicines, but the humiliation and abuse she suffered would not fade with time. When Childe is here, Shao Kun may be more restrained, but when you are not there, it is a different scene. Besides, there is one less Shao Kun, as well as Xianyun and Tilt...... Each of them treats Yangchun as a fish to be slaughtered. It is true that this time Yangchun was disfigured, it seemed that Qihuang annoyed Shao Kun, but in the final analysis, it was because Yangchun's status was small and her cultivation was low, and without your protection, she was not suitable for survival in the demon world at all. Who can guarantee that after Qihuang is gone, Shao Kun and his party will no longer target Yangchun?"
Ling Shang said all the words from the bottom of his heart. She didn't know how Shang Yu would react after this, she only knew that if he didn't realize these things, then there might be thousands of Yangchun in the future.
"I'm sorry......" What Ling Sheng didn't expect was that Shang Yu was silent for a long time after hearing this, and then he actually lowered his head and apologized to her.
Ling Sheng was stunned, she didn't know how to react, no matter what, although his behavior did not arouse Ling Shang's disgust, it also made her a little at a loss, so she could only say coldly: "You don't have to tell me I'm sorry, I didn't suffer any loss in this matter." What you should do is to ask Yang Chun what he thinks. ”
"I understand that I will definitely think more about it in the future. I hope Miss Ling won't feel bad about me because of this. At this moment, Shang Yu seemed to care about Ling Shang's thoughts.
"It's Ling Sheng who speaks straighter, and I hope that Gongzi won't blame him for listening. Ling Xiang responded politely. It is not the most important thing whether she has a mustard in her heart, the most important thing is how Yangchun should be good now.
Seeing this, Shang Yu also noticed Ling Shang's perfunctory and casual attitude, and couldn't help but chuckle, looked at Ling Shang, and said, "Miss Ling Shang, has anyone said that you are very indifferent." ”
Obviously she is a good person, she is obviously a very gentle girl, but she has such an indifferent and unapproachable personality, which makes Shang Yu feel both funny and curious.
"You're not the first person to say that. Ling Sheng responded bluntly, still expressionless.
Since she was a child, some people have said that Ling Sheng has a thin and cold personality, she has long been used to it, not to mention, this is still a fact, what is there to refute.
In fact, it doesn't matter if you make clothes, people who are cold by nature will not be let down, and people who are cold by nature will look at things more objectively. Isn't that what she's after?
"I think it's quite unusual, Qihuang has a contradictory temperament, sometimes flamboyant and sometimes restrained, but emotional. Thin and cool like you, calm as you, and being good friends with her is quite strange. Shang Yu was curious about this.
Indeed, from the point of view of personality, these two are quite incompatible, after all, one is calm and one is impulsive, one is objective and one is emotional, Shang Yu can't imagine why Ling Shang and Qihuang will become close friends.
Ling Sheng said shallowly: "Qihuang is like fire and emotional, but in fact, she is hot on the outside and cold on the inside, and she is unwilling to easily get involved with others, let alone show her affection, she is the real person who is cold, but this coldness is for herself, after all, it comes from the uneasiness in her heart." I am cold-faced and cold-hearted, so I can naturally restrain Qihuang's impulsiveness and let her not be rash, and Qihuang's enthusiasm and publicity happen to be what I lack. If you want me to say, it should be fate that we become close friends. ”
Shang Yu was stunned again, and then said with a smile: "You are cold-faced and cold-hearted, but how do I think that you are more like cold on the outside and hot on the inside? Otherwise, how could you say these things to me for the sake of Yangchun?"
Admittedly, it doesn't make sense to say that Ling Shang is really a completely thin heart. After all, under the influence of Qihuang, she began to no longer turn a blind eye to everything around her, not only feeling guilty because of what happened to Yangchun, but also daring to openly ridicule Xianyun's domineering and Shao Kun's naivety.
But how could Ling Shang admit this?
She frowned, looked at Shang Yu, and asked, "What do you want to say?"
"I," Shang Yu looked at Ling Xiang's puzzled eyes and smiled softly, as gentle as the silver moon, "I just hope you don't always keep a straight face on weekdays." You're not a cool person at all, you're such a lovely girl, why don't you smile more?"
Lovely. This is the first time anyone has described themselves in this way. Ling Xiang's heart was ashamed, as if there was a little throbbing, but it never appeared on his cheeks. She knew why this Shang Yu was so popular with the women of the Demon Realm.
It is said that the Demon King Qi Ling is a master of demagogy, and he is not a flower thief who is good at grasping women's hearts?
No, she wouldn't change it so easily.
Ling Shang pretended to be calm and evaded: "Shang Yu Gongzi, it's overstepping." ”
This is her, calm and indifferent.
"What is out of the norm, why should the girl be so unfamiliar. It's all said, you have to smile more. Shang Yu pretended to be displeased.
Ling Sheng didn't want to dwell too much on it, and responded embarrassedly: "Master Shang Yu, Ling Shang said goodbye first." ”
