Junior brother!"

"Qinglan!"

Zhang Zhongjian and Yun Huan's voices sounded at the same time. A trace of helplessness could be heard in Zhang Zhongjian's voice, but Yun Huan's voice was a little stern.

"Don't forget that there are still people in this world who need your protection!" Yun Huan's voice continued to penetrate his ears, "Although they are only related to you by blood, that is what God has arranged for you!"

"Blood relationship, teacher, are you confused?" Lin Yufei had some doubts in his heart, but he didn't think much more, at this time he had almost lost the ability to think, "The only person in this world who is related to me by blood is no longer there." ”

"Don't do that. Lin Yufei felt a hand gripping his wrist tightly, and there was no temperature in it: "Even if there is no one in the world who is worthy of your protection, isn't there still yourself?" And you can't protect me, unless you betray them." ”

"Betrayal?" Lin Yufei was stunned. Only then did he realize that even if he lost his goal, he didn't think of standing opposite the teacher in order to protect the "sister" in front of him. Did he already make a choice?

"I'm sorry. He whispered.

"It doesn't matter. ”

Lin Yufei stood up a little sluggishly, closed his eyes, and his body was already slightly floating. Then he suddenly heard a small rustling sound. When they opened their eyes, they saw only a high green wall, completely separating the two of them from the others. Standing beside them at the same time was Ye Fei. He looked at Lin Yifei and asked softly, "Is it you who has been with me these days?"

Lin Yifei did not answer. She looked at Ye Fei in a daze, and tears suddenly flowed from her eyes.

"Really? I see. Ye Fei tugged at the corners of his mouth, and an ugly smile appeared on his face. Then he suddenly disappeared, and at the same time, Lin Yifei disappeared.

The vine wall disappeared after a few seconds, and Yun still strode over and shouted, "Where is Qinghong!"

Lin Yufei's figure floated slightly, and his hands stretched out to the front, as if he wanted to hold something. As far as the eye can see, there is an empty space where there is nothing. He remained motionless and did not speak, as if he had not heard Yun Huan's questioning at all.

Yun Huan's expression became more and more anxious, and he was about to ask again, when Ge Tongshan's voice came from the side: "Dead old man, can you die if you don't press so hard?" He is like this now, can't you let him be quiet!"

Before the words fell, Ge Tongshan fell in front of Yun Huan from above, and the woodwolf followed behind. The serpent was gone, presumably subdued. Yun Huan's face was angry, and he was about to have a seizure, but Zhang Zhongjian also stretched out his hand and pulled him: "Teacher, it's serious to go to Senior Brother Ye first, and maybe you can find the source along the vine." ”

Yun also snorted, stopped talking, turned and left. Zhang Zhongjian looked at Lin Yufei, sighed and followed. Ge Tongshan shook his head and said to the woodwolf, "Let's follow up and see if we can help." ”

After a series of robes, there was a sudden silence in the pit. I don't know how long it took, Lin Yufei finally came back to his senses, sat down on the ground softly, and then lay down on his back, looking at the sky with blank eyes.

Slight footsteps sounded, and someone sat down beside him. Lin Yufei tilted his head slightly, only to realize that the person beside him was Xinlan. She didn't speak, just sat there quietly, her eyes slightly raised, looking at the mountains in the distance.

"Aren't you going to help, Senior Sister?" Lin Yufei asked in a low voice.

There was no answer. Xin Lan didn't seem to hear his question, or heard it but didn't want to answer, and Lin Yufei didn't bother to care. Xinlan didn't answer, he didn't ask anymore, just continued to look at the sky blankly. All sorts of thoughts passed away in my head, but I didn't catch any of them. The clock just ticked by.

"Xu Huaijun. Xinlan said suddenly. Lin Yufei paused for a moment: "What?"

"Xu Huaijun. Xinlan repeated it again. After a moment he added, "My real name." ”

"Oh. Lin Yufei didn't know what Xinlan meant, so he had to answer meaninglessly. After a while, his heart moved, and he suddenly reacted, "Didn't the teacher say that he didn't know your real name?"

"I didn't tell him. Xinlan said lightly, "I actually haven't told him a lot of things. ”

"Why don't you say it?" Lin Yufei became a little curious.

"It's just that I don't want to say it. "My parents did die in the war, but I was the last one to survive. Our group has always lived in Hung Yen Province, which is also a small village. When I was sixteen years old, my village was destroyed, and I was rescued by a master and given guidance to practice kendo, and I stayed in Guiguling to meditate until I met my teacher. ”

"When I was a child, I heard from the private school teacher in the village that our branch can be traced back more than 2,000 years. At that time, our place was actually just a barren mountain, and later a group of people who fled the famine settled there, and gradually multiplied from a community of less than 100 people to a large village of several thousand people. Among the people who fled the famine, there was a woman with two sons, and the people in the village only knew the two children's surname Xu, but they did not know who their father was, because their mother never said it. She turned her head and looked at Lin Yufei seriously: "I know that Senior Brother told you about the teacher's past, do you remember anything?"

Lin Yufei sat up suddenly: "You are the descendant that the teacher has been looking for!"

"Yes. Xin Lan said, "The teacher decided that I was a descendant of the Guigu lineage because of the kendo I practiced, but I didn't think that the kendo I practiced was not the Guigu Kendo he thought, but I myself was the real descendant he had been looking for." ”

"Why don't you say it?" Lin Yufei asked blankly, "Teacher, he has been looking for his descendants, and he even did not hesitate to mark his guardian object as the whole world for you. ”

"That's why I don't want to tell him. Xin Lan didn't have any expression fluctuations on her face, "You also basically understand his character." If he really knew that I was the only one left in the world that he wanted to protect, do you think he would still be active as a stargazer?"

"That's right. Lin Yufei nodded, "Senior sister, do you really want to protect the whole world?"

"Maybe you and Senior Brother Ye won't understand, but I am a person who has experienced the scourge of war and knows what it feels like to lose. Xinlan said, "Teacher, senior brother, and Ge Tongshan, of course, they have also experienced it, but they have seen too much and don't care too much." Because I know that kind of feeling, I don't want other people in this world to experience the pain of loss. ”

"It seems that senior sister, you are a truly qualified stargazer. Lin Yufei said gloomily, "Why does the teacher think that I can take over his class?

"He chose you, and naturally he has his reasons. The experience of a man who has lived through 2,000 years is not something we can understand. And you're not unqualified, you just haven't found your reason yet. ”

"Maybe. Lin Yufei stood up suddenly, "It's time for us to help, it's been a long time." ”

"You're still thinking about that 'sister', right?" Xin Lan also stood up, "I'm not very good at persuading people, but I still want to persuade you to let go." You know that it's not your sister anymore. ”

Lin Yufei was stunned, and the figure that had just taken a step stopped again and was silent. Indeed, as Xinlan said, he still had the idea of going back to persuade Yun to return and keep Lin Yifei. He didn't know how to refute it, so he had to remain silent.

At this time, Xinlan suddenly did something that Lin Yufei didn't dare to think of. She stepped forward, stood opposite Lin Yufei, suddenly stepped forward, hugged Lin Yufei, and then kissed Lin Yufei on the lips.

Lin Yufei was completely stunned. He never thought that his senior sister, who had always behaved like no one close, would do such a thing, and he didn't even have such a big reaction when he was kissed on the face by Lu Lanlan. At that moment, his head exploded, and he couldn't hear any sound, and the whole person seemed to be standing in a cotton ball, and it seemed to be in the clouds, and the whole person didn't feel a trace of weight. He could imagine himself now—he was afraid that the whole body was red, even if there was heat in his head and blood splattered in his nose. After all, he hadn't experienced anything like this in the past twenty-seven years of his life—or even imagined it.

Xin Lan hugged like this, her lips to Lin Yufei's lips, and she didn't take any further action. Only a few seconds have passed in real time, but Lin Yufei feels like more than ten centuries have passed. When he finally reacted and wanted to raise his hand to hug Xinlan, the other party suddenly let go of him, took two steps back and stopped, and the red cloud on his face gradually disappeared.

Lin Yufei stayed for half a minute, and the burning sensation in his body gradually faded, but his heartbeat was still like a drum. He looked at Xin Lan blankly, and the two lips that were already not good at talking trembled at this time, and he said incompletely: "Master...... Senior sister, you ......"

"If you don't find a reason to guard, I'll give you one first. Xinlan's voice was still calm, but Lin Yufei heard her speak much faster than usual, "I promise you today that I will always be by your side for the rest of my life, and I will never leave until we die, or the end of the world we guard." Until then, please be a stargazer seriously. ”

Lin Yufei was speechless in a daze. He never imagined that his longing for this senior sister would come true in such an extremely bizarre way. When Zhang Zhongjian persuaded him that day, he also thought of Lu Lanlan, but he didn't think that he could take Lu Lanlan as the object of protection, maybe deep down he still didn't believe that girl would really be with him. But now Xinlan showed herself her determination in such an awkward way, which made Lin Yufei couldn't help but be moved. Even if he doesn't understand the world, he knows the importance of a first kiss for a girl. Thinking of the word girl, he couldn't help but think of Xinlan's age, and suddenly felt that he was really bored, and couldn't help but want to smack his mouth.

"You should already know that the root cause of the longevity of a monk is to increase the activity of cells, delay the time of cell aging, and thus prolong the time of each cell division. Xin Lan seemed to guess his thoughts, and suddenly said, "According to the number of cell divisions, I am actually not even twenty years old now, so you really don't have to worry about the age difference." The age difference of the average person does not apply to us. ”

Lin Yufei was dumbfounded: "Senior sister, haven't you been cultivating in the mountains, you even know about cell division?"

"I've been out of the mountains for almost 10 years. A smile suddenly appeared on Xin Lan's face, which shocked Lin Yufei even more than the next words, "Cultivators have clear brains and clear eyes, and they learn much faster than ordinary people, even teachers and senior brothers are not the kind of old antiques you imagined." There are some things that they just can't change their concepts so they don't want to use them, but it's not that they don't know it. ”

"Senior sister, you used to laugh!" Lin Yufei muttered. Xin Lan's face turned a rare red: "Of course I can laugh, but I just don't like to be too emotional, that will affect my cultivation." Like I said, I'm still a little girl, why can't I laugh?"

Lin Yufei was stunned: "Then according to what you just said, Senior Sister, wouldn't I be only twelve or thirteen years old?"

"It's a joke, it doesn't seem so uncomfortable. The smile on Xinlan's face narrowed a little: "Then let's hurry up and help, don't forget, we haven't found the creator yet!"

"Senior sister is right. Lin Yufei finally understood Xinlan's intentions, and couldn't help but feel moved in his heart. "Speaking of which, Mo Li gave me some hints just now, and I already have some guesses." ”

"Mo Li?"

"Do you remember what he shouted before he died?" Lin Yufei looked up at Xin Lan. He had a smile on his face, but the smile couldn't hide an inexplicable emotion, sadness, helplessness, and extreme relaxation.
