"Roar!"

The blood-colored sun, the violent roar echoed, and a slightly emaciated teenager stood with his back to the setting sun, his delicate face engraved with bloody scars, and his right hand clenched a blood-stained sword.

On the left side of the young man, there was a young man with long hair scattered, blood staining his snow-white clothes red, his eyes closed, and his breathing weak.

"Brother, now it's time for your brother to protect you. Tilting his head, the young man murmured, smiled slightly, and his eyes were soft and firm.

Turning to look ahead, the softness is gone, only firmness and fierceness remain.

"Kill!"

He roared, his sword moved, and his figure moved, meeting the massive figures that rushed towards him......

Blood obscured his figure, and dyed the night after dusk crimson.

With the death of the four demonic beasts, the young man crawled to the young man's side and said softly, "Brother, we are safe." The body turned involuntarily, facing the sky, his hands were no longer the figure of the long sword, covering his abdomen, and he couldn't stop the blood flowing outward.

"My brother has a lot to say to my brother, but my brother has no strength...... "The young man lay down, looking at the misty night sky, and no longer had the strength to turn his head, "Brother, if there is an afterlife, I will still be your brother......" said in a weak voice, and he couldn't even see the hazy starry sky.

"Woo ......"

The flute sounded like crying, spreading sadness and making the picture hazy...... Li Yuchen opened his eyes, tears rolling in his eyes.

"Is it a dream? But it feels so real!" he murmured softly, tears streaming downward, and for some reason, he felt grief, as if this had happened to him.

The green bamboo flute was lying in his arms, and he hugged it tightly unconsciously, like an elder brother hugging his younger brother, and like a younger brother hugging his brother.

"Ah, you're awake!" the girl's crisp voice suddenly sounded in the room.

In the window where the sunlight penetrated, Lin Yan quickly closed the thick book in her hand and walked towards Li Yuchen.

Noticing Lin Yan coming, Li Yuchen hesitated slightly, hurriedly wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, sat up from the bed, smiled on his face, nodded and said, "Well, wake up." ”

Lin Yan walked to his side, put the book in his hand on the head of the bed, felt that he was a little different, got closer, looked up and down, saw the tears in the corners of his eyes, and asked with concern: "Are you okay?"

The faint fragrance lingered, making Li Yuchen slightly stunned, with a snickering joy in his heart, and a shyness that should not appear on him, his face turned red, and even his breathing was a little short.

Affected by the rapid breathing, Lin Yan noticed something unusual, the posture of the two was a little too intimate, and she took the initiative to come up, her pretty face turned crimson in an instant, but before she could retreat, she was frightened by the sound of "bang", and almost pounced on Li Yuchen.

The door was ruthlessly pushed open, and a woman in her thirties stepped into the room, and when she saw this scene, she forgot her movements and stared at the two with angry eyes.

"Ahh

"Aunt Yun. Li Yuchen stepped down from the bed and shouted.

This woman is Lin Yan's mother, named Zhou Yun, who usually treats him well and takes good care of him, but the situation just now is indeed a little embarrassing.

As soon as Zhou Yun came in, he saw that the two were very close, almost next to each other, he didn't believe much when he heard Liu Mingran say it before, but now he believed it a little, and when he thought about it, he didn't get angry, pointed at Li Yuchen, and asked: "Stinky boy, what did you say happened to my daughter?"

Zhou Yun was a little impulsive and wanted to step forward, but was pulled by Lin Yan.

"What's wrong?" Before Li Yuchen could speak, Lin Yan asked, but her voice was very thin and her pretty face was crimson.

"What, dare you say you didn't do it?" Zhou Yun glared at Lin Yan fiercely, and then pointed at Li Yuchen, "What do you say is good about this stinky boy, you are still so young, you are ......"

Lin Yan hurriedly interrupted, blushing and said, "Mother, we really don't have anything." ”

"You really don't?" Zhou Yun asked, she really couldn't see anything unusual about Lin Yan, her heart was slightly loosened, but she didn't plan to let this matter go, it would be bad if something happened.

"It's really nothing!" Lin Yan nodded seriously and said.

Zhou Yun snorted coldly: "Stinky boy, count you lucky!" stared at Li Yuchen, paused, and said, "Also, you are not allowed to approach Yan'er in the future." ”

"I ......" Li Yuchen was in a hurry, but he could only stare at a loss.

Lin Yan pulled Zhou Yun and said coquettishly: "Mother, how can you be like this?"

"What's wrong with me? Am I wrong for doing this?" Zhou Yun asked rhetorically, staring directly at Li Yuchen, "Do you think you are worthy of Yan'er? Now you have the ability to protect her, and you have the ability to give her happiness?" and did not give Li Yuchen a chance to refute, and continued, "If you don't reach the condensation realm, you are not allowed to approach Yan'er!" After speaking, he made a gesture of crossing his waist and waited for Li Yuchen's answer.

Li Yuchen clenched his fists tightly, couldn't find the words to refute, was silent for a few seconds, his bright eyes flashed with determination, and said solemnly: "I will definitely reach the Qi Condensation Realm!"

Glancing at Li Yuchen, Zhou Yun said coldly: "Yan'er won't wait for you for the rest of her life!"

Li Yuchen clenched his fists tightly, and could only watch Lin Yan's figure disappear, and almost roared angrily in his heart: "You must become stronger!" pinched his nails into the flesh.

A white-haired old man walked slowly from the courtyard, holding a white porcelain bowl in his hand, a faint mist wafted out of the bowl, and a fragrance was emanated, it was Li You, who boiled medicine for Li Yuchen and brought it over.

"Grandpa. Seeing Li You, Li Yuchen shouted softly and greeted him with a smile.

With kindness flashing in his eyes, Li You smiled and said, "Yuchen, come and drink the medicine." He handed the white porcelain bowl to Li Yuchen and watched him drink it in one gulp.

"Grandpa, I'm able to cultivate. After drinking the medicine and handing out the porcelain bowl, Li Yuchen smiled, but when he thought of Aunt Yun's words, the joy on his face disappeared, "Grandpa, I want to become stronger!" stared at the old man, his bright eyes were full of determination.

Li You did not answer immediately, but stared at Li Yuchen, a little silent.

"Grandpa, I want to become stronger!" Seeing that Li You didn't answer, Li Yuchen said firmly again.

Shaking his head slightly, with a sigh in his heart, after a while, Li Youcai asked, "Do you really want to become stronger?"

"Well, you must become stronger!" Li Yuchen nodded very seriously, his face full of determination.

"Why do you want to become stronger?" Li You asked again, the smile on his face decreased slightly, it was a question that suddenly came to mind, it was for Li Yuchen, and it was also asking himself.

"Only by becoming strong can I be with Lin Yan! Only by becoming strong can I find my parents! Only by becoming strong can I not be bullied!" Li Yuchen said without hesitation.

But Li You still shook his head and said slowly: "What about after the goal is achieved?" This is his self-question, if he wants to get an affirmation, maybe it is possible.

"After that?" Li Yuchen couldn't answer, and he didn't think about it, so he could cultivate, he didn't think about the future at all, and he was a little distracted.

The old man shook his head mockingly, touched his head, and chuckled, "Hehe, it's too much." Some of the rickety's waists straightened slightly, and their kind eyes became solemn, staring at him, and their tone became cold, "You...... Are you afraid of death?"

Li Yuchen was shocked, fell into silence again, and only raised his head for a long time and said in a deep voice: "I'm afraid, but ...... I want to be stronger!"

Hearing his words, Li You was touched, closed his eyes, and was speechless for a long time.

"Here's a set of exercises that might work for you. A black-brown scroll appeared in Li You's hand and handed it to Li Yuchen, "This set of exercises is very special, you can use it now, and it can make you ......stronger in the shortest possible time," said this, and paused deliberately, "But once you use it, there is no way back, you must practice the exercises to perfection, otherwise, what awaits you will only be death!"

"Will you really die?" Li Yuchen muttered, suddenly with a strange calm, it seemed that there was a choice, but there was only one, there was no choice, "I want to become stronger! I must become stronger!" After silently reciting, he took the scroll.

"Take a day off, starting tomorrow, I will take you to cultivate!" Leaving a sentence, Li You turned around, his eyes flashed with a different light, and continued to do what he had to do.

Taking a deep breath, Li Yuchen said to himself, "I will definitely become stronger!" Gripping the bamboo flute tightly, he also grasped the exercise scroll, and the corners of his mouth raised slightly.
