Knock! Knock!

Three disconnected, distinct knocks sounded in the empty corridor, and the deep sound was like a drumbeat, hammering Nie Qingqing's heart.

Her heart couldn't help beating in unison.

Puff! Puff!

She heard her own disconnected and distinct heartbeat, and then a familiar voice wafted into the room, "Please come in." ”

The voice is very calm, a lake of clear water embedded in the sky and the earth.

Nie Qingqing did not follow the prompts of the voice and entered the room directly, but was stunned at the door. Her hands hung in the air, not forward or backward, and her eyes shimmered with something called hesitation.

Nie Qingqing glanced at her, took a long breath, and said, "Go in, you have to face it, you have to face it, and escaping is not the solution to the problem." ”

Nie Qingqing glanced at Han Chuang deeply, and tears flowed around his eyes, as if they would fall at any time.

"Yes. ”

She answered, pushing the door open with a trembling hand.

It was a large room, shaded, with only ordinary furniture, a bed, a few carved wooden chairs, two bookshelves full of books, and a large desk behind which the person they wanted to meet was sitting.

Han Chuang still remembered the handsome man, he used to be so high-spirited, and the years didn't seem to be able to leave any traces on him.

And when he saw him again at this moment, Han Chuang almost didn't dare to admit that the person in front of him with silver hair, sunglasses, and a thin body curled up in a chair was Nie Yuxin—where was that ambitious guy?

Nie Qingqing couldn't bear the torment anymore, and the tears fell like this, and the crystal teardrops were like pearls, dragging two long lines of water on her cheeks.

"You're here. Nie Yuxin spoke, he didn't look at the direction of the door, but obviously listened with his ears, he leaned sideways, as if trying his best to keep his ears close.

Nie Qingqing said in a trembling voice: "Your eyes-"

"Blind. His answer was extraordinarily calm, and he didn't hide anything, perhaps he felt that in front of his daughter, he needed to be so-called pretending to be strong at all.

"How did you get it?" Nie Qingqing sobbed twice and held back her tears. She said something that tasted like she was knowingly asking, but she still asked habitually.

Nie Yuxin smiled quietly and said lightly, "Accidentally." ”

"Accidentally!" Nie Qingqing was like a cat that had been stepped on by the tail, and suddenly raised his tone, "This is your answer, is it accidental?"

The smile on Nie Yuxin's face disappeared and was replaced by a cold one.

"It's been a long time, are you talking to Daddy like this?"

"I don't have a dad like you. Nie Qingqing said coldly, but Han Chuang clearly saw that the tears had burst the embankment.

But Nie couldn't see, not only couldn't see, but couldn't even hear, Nie Qingqing controlled her breathing very carefully, if she just looked at her ears, no one thought she was crying.

In fact, she couldn't cry anymore.

Nie Yuxin sighed and said, "You didn't come here to ask me about my master. ”

Nie Qingqing said coldly: "No, I'm just coming to see you." ”

Nie Yuxin smiled, spread his hands and said, "How is it? I'm still the same me as before, except that I'm blind." ”

Another lie, if the hair changes from half-gray and half-white to full of silver hair, and the once strong and majestic body becomes skinny, and the body that stands forever is curled up in a small wooden chair at the moment, and it is considered unchanged, then the world is really eternal and unchanged.

Nie's delusion was like a different person, but he was blind and couldn't see, and when he couldn't see, he didn't have to admit this fact, even though he knew it.

Han Chuang opened his mouth and said, "Okay, we haven't been here for a long time, let's talk about the purpose of you asking Lotus to come to us." His voice was enveloped in an icy coldness that could be disguised.

Nie Delirium sighed, his ears turned in Han Chuang's direction: "Han Chuang," he said, his voice paused slightly.

Han Chuang had reason to believe that if he wasn't blind, if his eyes weren't covered by that huge pair of sunglasses, his eyes would definitely reveal a complicated gaze.

It's like every father does to his son-in-law - love and hate.

On the one hand, they will feel that their daughter has found a good home, and on the other hand, they will think that their son-in-law has taken her away from them, which is a complex emotion that is difficult to describe in words.

"Is Qingqing okay?" he asked.

He didn't ask Nie Qingqing but Han Chuang, because he was afraid that if he said a word to Nie Qingqing more, his cowardly side would be revealed.

He has always looked at people with a strong face, and he has never been willing to reveal his weakness.

Han Chuang glanced at Nie Qingqing and said, "Very good." ”

Nie Yuxin laughed, and the corners of his mouth hooked up with a gratifying arc.

"What about you?"

"I'm not bad either. ”

He smiled again, muttering to himself something like that.

Looking at Nie Zhuang's delusional heart that was caught in the shortcomings of his parents at this moment, Han Chuang suddenly sighed, he used to be so ambitious, but now he has become an ordinary old man who misses his family to hide his vulnerability.

The wrinkles on his face were much deeper, and in the shadow of each wrinkle, there was something indescribable.

"Where's Fuliu?" Han Chuang asked, "Isn't she here?" He looked around, there was only Nie Yuxin in the room, just one person, and another familiar figure did not appear here.

She should have been here, and in Nie Yuxin's most difficult moment, they should have been inseparable.

Nie Yuxin shook his head and said with a smile: "She didn't come." ”

Han Chuang shook his head and said, "She won't not come." ”

Nie said in a delusional heart: "She is not suitable to stay in the desert, so I didn't let her come." ”

This is a reason that can be used as a reason, but in Han Chuang's eyes, such a reason is far from enough.

"She can be anywhere, even if she is uncomfortable, she is much better than ordinary martial artists. Han Chuang's eyes were fixed on Nie Yuxin, trying to find every change in that gentle expression, but in the end, he found that it was calm.

Nie said calmly: "She must not appear in the desert. ”

"Why?" Han Chuang asked.

Nie Yuxin smiled and replied, "I'm being watched." ”

Han Chuang frowned and said, "By whom?"

"Lotus," Nie said with a smile, "it's the young man who brought you here." ”

Han Chuang shook his head and said, "He won't leak the matter of your meeting with me." ”

Han Chuang has absolute confidence in Lotus, he is not the kind of person who will betray his friends without saying a word, if he wants to betray, he will definitely behave abnormally, extremely abnormal.

Nie Yuxin smiled and said, "It's true that it won't, but it's only in this matter, in the final analysis, it's thanks to you that Qingqing and I can meet." He sighed and said, "Because I entered and broke into the Linglong Pagoda without permission, Sikong Blood began to suspect me, and sent Lotus Flower to follow me, called protection, but in fact it was monitoring. ”

As he spoke, he laughed: "He thought that I couldn't see anything if I was blind, on the contrary, although my eyes couldn't see, my heart was bright." ”

His tone was full of disdain, and his voice was like a tone squeezed out of the gap between his lips and teeth. This one, Han Chuang seemed to see the shadow of the former Nie delusion, a little shadow.

Han Chuang suddenly sighed and said, "If you weren't greedy, nothing would have happened, and if you had insisted on your duty of guarding the clan, the situation wouldn't have turned out like this. ”

Nie Yuxin's smile stiffened on his face, and his tone became cold: "Are you here to preach? I'm not here to preach, I naturally have my own principles for doing things, I can tell you that even if I'm blind, I never regret it." ”

He had become the same Nie delusion he had been again—really, not just a shadow this time, but really the same Nie delusional he had been.

Confident, domineering, ambitious, not taking everyone in mind, arrogant and incredible.

Han Chuang sneered: "Whether you regret it or not, you have already been punished." Han Chuang keenly noticed that the true qi in Nie Yuxin's body was entangled with another external force, so that he became an ordinary old man.

Perhaps it shouldn't be said that he is one more blind eye than the average old man.

Nie Yuxin sneered: "Punishment? I don't think it's punishment. He pointed to his eyes, "It's a sacrifice, a sacrifice, you know, if you're trying to get something that you can't control, you have to sacrifice a part of your body in exchange for the power of control." ”

"As a result?" Han Chuang said mercilessly, "You didn't control anything, but lost your eyes. ”

"No!" Nie Yuxin suddenly roared, angry green tendons snaking up his neck and climbing all the way up his cheeks, "You don't know at all, you don't understand at all, at this moment, I have established a trace of connection with the Linglong Pagoda, and soon it will be mine." ”

Han Chuang looked at the crazy Nie Delusion, patted Nie Qingqing's shoulder, and said lightly, "Nie Delusion, do you know that you are crazy?"

"Crazy?" Nie Yuxin sneered, "I'm not crazy, I'm not crazy at all, I'm very clear about what I'm going to say." ”

Han Chuang shook his head and said, "If you have this attitude, then the conversation between us can be over, because I don't think the conversation will have any meaning." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, he was about to pull Nie Qingqing, and before he could take a step, he heard Nie Qingqing's anxious voice coming: "Wait!"

Han Chuang turned his head and glanced at Nie Yuxin: "What's the matter?"

Nie Yuxin took a deep breath and said calmly, "I need your help. ”

Han Chuang said, "Don't worry, I will help you heal your eyes." ”

Nie Yuxin shook his head and said, "It's not about the eyes, it's about the body." ”

Han Chuang frowned slightly and said, "I don't understand what you mean." ”

Nie Yuxin smiled bitterly: "I tried to invade the Linglong Pagoda with my spiritual sense, and finally I was injured by the sword qi in the pagoda, not only was the meridian of the eyeball cut off, but the sword qi remained in my body. ”

Han Chuang frowned and said, "I can see that the true qi in your body is entangled with a kind of power, could it be the residual sword qi?"

Nie Yuxin sighed and said, "Yes, it is the residual sword qi, the existence of this sword qi makes it impossible for me to use any trace of true qi," he moved his finger, and the lowered finger showed a state of weakness, "As you can see, I am an ordinary old man now. ”

Han Chuang said: "What's wrong, an ordinary old man can at least let you escape this catastrophe." ”

"You're wrong," Nie Yuxin shook his head, "Whether I lose my eyes or not, whether I lose my strength or not, Sikong Blood will not let me go, he keeps me, just because I am the one who knows the Linglong Pagoda best, once he gets what he wants, I-"

Nie Yuxin shook his head, "I'll be a mess of garbage that can be discarded." There was unspeakable concern in his tone.

Han Chuang lowered his head and pondered for a moment, then asked, "Two questions, first, what exactly does Sikong Blood want?"

Nie Yuxin didn't answer directly, but looked at him left and right: "The blood shadow clone should be on you." ”
