Beyond the Sword City, in the woods.

Between the large ruins, Shadow Hitomi got up from the ground, twisted her slender waist, and wiped the mud from her face.

She smiled unabated, panting and said, "It's ruthless enough, but why are you reluctant to kill me." ”

Zhou Yan said: "Don't look down on yourself, it's just a murderous knife, and when I find the culprit behind the scenes, I will break your body into thousands of pieces." ”

Shadow Hitomi smiled, "Do you want to know the culprit behind the scenes?"

Zhou Yan hurriedly ran over and said excitedly, "You know?"

Shadow Pupil said, "Of course I do. ”

"Tell me!"

"I don't. ”

Shadow Hitomi tilted her head and smiled.

Zhou Yan said: "Force me to be tortured?"

Shadow Hitomi chuckled, "Hey, you don't really think you can subdue me, do you?" ”

Damn, why is this woman so annoying!

She can do everything, there's nothing she can do.

Zhou Yan said helplessly: "Then how can you say it, you tell me." ”

Shadow Pupil thought for a moment, and suddenly said softly, "If you kiss me, I'll tell you." ”

Zhou Yan looked at her face, delicate and picturesque, as if she didn't lose anything.

So he nodded heavily and leaned his face over, but his mouth was covered with ash.

"Phew!"

Seeing the shoes on Shadow Pupil's hand, Zhou Yan said angrily: "You play with me!"

Shadow Hitomi put on her shoes again, and couldn't help but smile: "You still want to kiss the girl's face? ”

Zhou Yan almost didn't blow up his lungs.

He shouted, "Tell me!"

Shadow Hitomi shook his head and said, "Actually, I don't know who it is, I'm just listening to the orders of the High Priest and General Candle Revenge." ”

"You... You lied to me?"

Zhou Yan's eyes widened.

Shadow Pupil nodded, and giggled: "Yes, it's just to lie to you, the witch is scheming, isn't this what you said? ”

Zhou Yan took a deep breath and stroked his chest, don't be angry, don't be angry, take a step back and open the sky.

But he's still angry!

Zhou Yan gritted his teeth and held back, and said with difficulty: "That... Isn't that the right thing to talk about?

Shadow Pupil said, "Well, cooperate, did you agree?"

Zhou Yan gasped and said: "I promised, but you have to inform me of the situation in advance, and you said the same thing when you just left the city." ”

Shadow Pupil shook her head with a smile and said, "I just came out to trick you, where will I really reveal it to you." ”

"Liar!"

Zhou Yan said angrily: "Clever words, tricks, not a word in your mouth is true." ”

Shadow Pupil waved his hand and said, "There is still a sentence that is true." ”

"Which one?"

"I love you. ”

Zhou Yan glared and said in a lost voice: "You don't tell me if you love me?"

The smile on Ying Tong's face gradually retracted, looked at Zhou Yan, and said seriously: "I love you, but I am still me." ”

Zhou Yan couldn't answer.

Because he understands Shadow Pupil to a certain extent.

This woman is extremely talented, highly cultivated, scheming, resourceful, and assertive.

She is a person who will not be blinded by love, she is more like a modern person in the 21st century, loving freely, but not losing herself.

So she was serious when she said this just now, because that's what she really thought.

Thinking of this, Zhou Yan sighed and sat on the ground.

The sun is shining, the surroundings are picturesque, and it should be a good day, but it is such a bad thing, it is really fucked.

Shadow Hitomi sat down next to him, leaning lightly on his shoulder.

Zhou Yan snorted and pushed her head away.

Shadow Pupil pursed her lips and clasped her hands on her knees to stop touching him.

For a moment, both of them were silent.

I don't know how long it took before Shadow Pupil whispered, "Zhou Yan, do you hate me?"

Zhou Yan thought for a moment and nodded slightly.

Shadow Pupil said, "Then why don't you kill me?"

Zhou Yan sighed and said, "Because I slowly understand that Mingyue's death is a big conspiracy, and it is by no means an overnight calculation, without you, she will still die." ”

"In this case, you are playing a very inconspicuous role, and you are also a person who can be replaced at any time. ”

"I hate you, it's more because you lied to me and used me to destroy Mingyue's Dao Heart. ”

Speaking of this, Zhou Yan smiled bitterly again: "It doesn't seem to be lying to me, I know that you are an opponent from beginning to end, but I don't know that the target you are dealing with is Mingyue." ”

Shadow Pupil's expression was a little complicated, and he said softly, "Believe it or not, actually... I don't want her to die either, but her death is doomed. ”

Zhou Yan said: "Why?"

Shadow Hitomi shook her head and said, "I don't know why someone would want to kill her, but what I do know is... The culprit behind the scenes will never be so simple, you know... Even the Witch Dao Prophet took action that day. ”

Zhou Yan remembered the feeling of despair that night in the Taixue Palace, when several shining stars and several large black holes appeared in the sky.

He slowly clenched his fists and said word by word: "I don't care who he is! One day, I will step on his face, ask him why, and then kill him." ”

"What about me?"

Shadow Pupil said softly, "One day, will you kill me too?" Although you don't kill me now, who can say for sure in the future. ”

Zhou Yan said: "I was originally going to kill you, but the people you left behind saved the lives of my father, my brother and Uncle Kang." ”

"Without those four men to stop with their lives, they would probably have died. ”

"What you owe me may have already been paid off, and I can't find any reason to kill you. ”

Speaking of this, he sighed bitterly and muttered, "That thing... If I really want to be responsible, I am probably the greatest. I broke Mingyue's Dao heart, I was too naïve, and I wasn't sharp enough..."

Zhou Yan said the most depressed pain in his heart, if he wants to say hate, why doesn't he hate himself.

It's just that those who should be hurt have already suffered, and those who should have regretted have already repented.

The most important thing now is to find the culprit behind the scenes, really take revenge, and then find a way to save Mingyue.

The most important thing is that people come to life.

Shadow Pupil looked ahead, and suddenly said softly: "This time there is going to be an accident in Sword City, I didn't lie to you." ”

Zhou Yan said: "You are also one of the murderers?"

Shadow Pupil shook his head and said, "Actually, this time, I just want to meet the geniuses of various domains. It's just that I happened to encounter this matter, and I was entrusted by the high priest to help assist. ”

"And these auxiliaries do not hurt people, nor do they kill people. ”

"Whether you count the murderer or not, you can estimate it yourself. ”

Speaking of this, she smiled bitterly again: "Actually, my task has been completed, but that person... I promised to tell me the truth about my mother's death, so I continued to help him. ”

Zhou Yan knew that Shadow Pupil's parents were dead, and he wondered, "Your mother?"

"Hmm. ”

Shadow Hitomi said softly: "I, I'm a fatherless person, and my mother died when I was less than three years old." ”

"In my vague memory, my mother loved me very much, but she died suddenly. ”

"Eighteen years ago, alas. ”

Hearing the words "eighteen years ago", Zhou Yan was subconsciously stunned for a moment, and then said: "Eighteen years ago, how did you die?"

Shadow Pupil sighed: "Died from the pollution of Qingzhou Taixue Palace eighteen years ago. ”

Zhou Yan's figure was suddenly shocked, and he couldn't help but exclaim: "No! Eighteen years ago, the pollution of Qingzhou Taixue Palace was not serious, only a few people died! Your mother, it should have died from the pollution of Sword City!"

Shadow Pupil's eyes widened, "You... You also know about the pollution of Sword City?"
