Chapter 40: Nothing beats your satisfied smile

The Yucheng Shangguan family, this is a mysterious family that has changed the color of many forces in the east. It's not that the strength of this family is too strong, but this is a mysterious family.

On the Xuanyuan Continent hundreds of years ago. There was once a terrifying terrorist organization. The name of this organization is - Night Raid!

This organization has gathered a large number of powerful and skilled assassins.

It is said that the founder of this force is a killer with the surname Shangguan, and his name is Shangguan Ye! The legendary Shangguan Ye used to be just an ordinary cultivator, without superb strength and no good cultivation talent, it seems that he can only be an unknown monk in this life.

However, Shangguan Ye has a childhood sweetheart confidante, her name is Xiao Yun. She is a very beautiful girl, and Shangguan Ye has had a special affection for her since she was a child. Yes, Shangguan Ye likes this girl very much. He has been silently crushing on this girl named Xiao Yun, but he is a very inferior and introverted person. He did not have the courage to confess to the girl he loved. has no strength, no talent, no background, Shangguan Ye really doesn't know what he can give her, so Shangguan Ye can only silently play the role of a crush.

However, Shangguan Ye did not intend to give up his love. In addition to his desperate cultivation every day, he just chatted with Xiao Yun and accompanied her to see the sunset and the scenery. Whenever she sees the scenery she likes, Xiao Yun's face will show a satisfied smile, in Shangguan Ye's opinion, such a smile is so beautiful and sweet. Shangguan Ye likes to see Xiao Yun's sweet smile very much, so Shangguan Ye always finds time to accompany Xiao Yun to various places to see those beautiful scenery.

The sunflower-covered hillside, the rapids of the waterfall, the stars and the bright moon, and the beautiful sunset. These are all things that Xiao Yun likes to see. Whenever there is no clouds and the bright moon is in the sky, Shangguan Ye will accompany Xiao Yun to lie on the hillside full of sunflowers, looking at the twinkling stars in the sky, and the boundless dark night reflected by the bright moonlight has a little more hazy beauty, and they lie on the hillside quietly enjoying the scenery between heaven and earth. Although the two only maintained this relationship and did not develop further, Shangguan Ye was really satisfied. There are many more things in this world that can accompany the person she likes to see the scenery she likes, maybe there are many more, but for Shangguan Ye, these are enough, and Shangguan Ye is already very satisfied. He wanted time to freeze forever at this moment, and the two of them just lay quietly on the ground, looking at the stars in the sky, but time would not freeze, no matter what, time was always flowing mercilessly.

One day, Xiao Yun once inadvertently said that she wanted to ride a horse and run in the field. But in this poor village, not to mention a horse, even a dog is rare. The price of a horse is astronomical for everyone in this village.

Xiao Yun just said it casually, she didn't have much hope for this. But Shangguan Ye had already kept this matter firmly in his heart.

Three days later, after leaving a letter in his home, Shangguan Ye left the village where he had grown up alone in the early hours of the morning, and his figure disappeared into the vast night.

The next day, when Xiao Yun wanted to go to Shangguan Ye, she happened to be stopped by her father, who told her that there were guests coming today and asked her not to go out. Xiao Yun had no choice but to stay at home obediently. It's just that Xiao Yun always has a faint uneasiness in her heart, as if she will miss something if she goes out today, but Xiao Yun also feels that this feeling is very strange, and her father doesn't let her go out, so Xiao Yun doesn't care, but she doesn't know that she really missed a lot.

Xiao Yun waited at home for a long time, and when it was about to be noon, seven or eight people dressed very gorgeously entered Xiao Yun's house. At first glance, they are people from the outside world.

What Xiao Yun didn't expect was that this group of people actually came to propose. It turned out that after his aunt lived in the city, she opened a tavern and met a son-in-law, so she thought about introducing her niece to this son-in-law as a concubine, and she could also climb into a relationship, and she would be able to do things by herself by relying on this family in the future.

Xiao Yun's father did not object to this matter. In his opinion, it is better to let his daughter find a big family even if she is a concubine than to live a lifetime in this poor and remote place, he has suffered for a lifetime, but he can't let his daughter suffer for a lifetime.

It's just that Xiao Yun didn't agree immediately, but just had to think about it for a few days. She wanted to go to Shangguan Ye, but this happened too suddenly. She wants Shangguan Ye to give her an idea, in addition, the two have been together since they were young, as the saying goes, love arises over time, how can Xiao Yun not have the slightest feeling for Shangguan Ye!

It's just that Xiao Yun is also a girl no matter what she says, and the reservedness of a girl makes Xiao Yun not tell him how she feels about Shangguan Ye. And Shangguan Ye didn't say what he felt in his heart because of his inferiority.

When Xiao Yun came to Shangguan Ye's house, he happened to meet Shangguan Ye's father, and he told Xiao Yun that Shangguan Ye had gone out early in the morning, saying that he would not come back during this time. Xiao Yun once asked Shangguan Ye's father where he was, but the smug Shangguan father didn't know where his son had gone. And he also completely forgot what his son told him before he went out.

When Shangguan Ye's father returned home and saw the letter, he remembered what his son had told him when he left. "If Xiao Yun comes to me, give her this letter!" Shangguan Ye's father wanted to send the letter to Xiao Yun, but when he saw that it was getting late, he dismissed the idea of sending the letter. I threw the letter away and left it alone. However, three years have passed.

Xiao Yun is already the young grandmother of that family.

Until one time Xiao Yun returned to her parents' house and wanted to see Shangguan Ye, she came to Shangguan's house, and Shangguan Ye's father told Xiao Yun that Shangguan Ye had not come back since she left home. When Xiao Yun was disappointed and wanted to leave, Shangguan Ye's father suddenly remembered something, he stopped Xiao Yun and handed Xiao Yun a yellowed envelope.

"This is the letter that Shangguan asked me to hand you when I left at night, but I forgot about it carelessly. ”

After three years, this letter finally arrived in Xiao Yun's hands, but it was already a matter of fact.

Xiao Yun opened the three-year-old envelope and took out the yellowed pages inside, with some familiar fonts on them.

The letter reads: "Xiao Yun, when you read this letter, I had already left our village. The time I heard you say that you were like riding a horse running in the field, I kept thinking, I must find a way to fulfill your wish, so I decided to leave the village and go to the outside world to work hard, and when I have the strength, I will send you a lot of horses, okay? Maybe you will think that I am joking, but I want to tell you, I am not joking! You know what? Xiao Yun, I have always liked you, your smile is so charming, your voice is so sweet. You know what? There's nothing in my world like your satisfied smile. But I dare not tell you what I think in my heart, for I am afraid that you will reject me. I don't have the strength, I can't give you anything. I have low self-esteem, and I don't feel worthy of you. I can only secretly like you in my heart, and I can accompany you to look at the scenery you like, you know? Every time I see those beautiful scenery, I secretly look at you, because I know that at this time, you must have a satisfied smile on your face.

I know you love the scenery between heaven and earth, and I've heard that those super strong people have the ability to change the world, and I seem to have the strength of them. Because then I can conjure up the scenery you like at any time, and I can see your satisfied smile every day. But it's so far away, I think you're already laughing at me now! It's a pity that I'm not with you now, and I can't see your innocent smile. Xiao Yun, when I come back, I will definitely give you several different horses for you to gallop on the field. At that time, you can smile and show me, okay?

Xiao Yun, promise me, when I come back! I will marry you, and I will give you happiness. I will put a satisfied smile on your face every day, because I am so selfish, I want to see your satisfied smile every day, and there is nothing like your satisfied smile in this world.

Xiao Yun, wait for me!

The content of the letter had ended here, and Xiao Yun's face was already full of tears.

Xiao Yun turned around and left in a daze.

Xiao Yun came to the sunflower-covered hillside where she used to watch the stars with Shangguan Ye.

"Shangguan Ye, why didn't you tell me in person? Why did you leave only one letter and fly away? Why? God, why did you play me like this? Why did you let me see this letter after I had already made the wrong choice?" Xiao Yun shouted loudly into the sky.

It was raining in the sky.

Xiao Yun tilted her head and let the rain hit her face, and the rain flowed down her beautiful cheeks onto her clothes. The rain soaked the letter in Xiao Yun's hand and also drenched her heart.

Xiao Yun walked down the hillside, and there was a cliff in front of her.

"Night, where are you now? Are you still alive? Do you know? I am no longer the pure and immaculate me I used to be, and the Xiao Yun you like is no longer complete. Sorry! Night! We used to look at the stars in the sky from the top of the hillside, but we never noticed that there was such a beautiful view on the hillside! You see, this endless darkness is so beautiful!"

In a trance, Xiao Yun saw that in the endless abyss, that familiar face emerged.

"Night, is that you?" said that, Xiao Yun's body had fallen into the endless abyss like a leaf, and the letter paper in his hand fell on the hillside.

Xiao Yun died, but her body was not found, and no one dared to go down to that abyss.

When Shangguan returned to the village and happily went to find Xiao Yun, he heard the news that Xiao Yun had died. Xiao's father told Shangguan Ye everything that happened, and told Shangguan Ye the location of Xiao Yun's well-dressed mound, which was on the slope of the mountain full of sunflowers.

Shangguan Ye stroked Xiao Yun's tombstone as if he was caressing Xiao Yun's cheek. Shangguan Ye stayed in front of Xiao Yun's tombstone for three days and three nights, and no one saw him after that.

However, two days after he disappeared, the family that had married Xiao Yun was wiped out overnight, and on the wall in the hall, there was a big night character written in blood.

Since then, there have been families on the rivers and lakes that have been inexplicably wiped out, and there will be a bloody night word left at the scene. Over time, they became known as night raids.
