The medicinal effect of the Bone Attachment Elixir was too violent, and Shen Xiangzhi's body was instantly filled with medicinal power, and he was already hovering on the verge of death, who would have thought that he would be pulled back.

This is not a good thing for her, because the physical pain has not gone away. Today, her internal strength is overwhelming, but her body is as fragile as a dead wood that is about to decay, and it will shatter at the slightest touch. ap.

The medicine only delayed her death and prolonged her pain.

Shen Xiangzhi suddenly stretched out his hand and grabbed Xu Qingchen's neck, and Ayahan subconsciously wanted to stop it, but it didn't succeed.

Xu Qingchen was choked by the neck, and his breathing was cut off instantly, making him almost faint.

"Door Master!" Ayahan shouted, which also made Shen Xiangzhi regain some consciousness, and the force in her hand was much lighter.

"Xu Qingchen......" Shen Xiangzhi's voice was dry and full of hatred, "Now you are really vicious."

Xu Qingchen struggled twice, and said with difficulty, "Help me last, last...... It's okay, it's your debt to pay off the old master and Yang Fan!"

"I don't owe them anything!"

"You owe!" Xu Qingchen finally broke free, "Old Master Qiao protects you thoroughly, so you have a chance to take revenge." Brother Yang is also trying his best to help you, shouldn't you do something? If you don't help me, the Thorn Gate won't last a few days. The two of them have wanted to strengthen the Thorn Gate all their lives, and that's just a little wish...... Door master, you have to help with this!"

Xu Qingchen did not flinch, there was no fear on his face, even if Shen Xiangzhi was weak, it was not difficult to pinch Xu Qingchen to death by internal force alone.

Ayahan suddenly yelled at Xu Qingchen, "Are you enough?!"

Xu Qingchen looked at Ayahan and said in a low voice, "You first think about who I am doing this for!"

Ayahan's body trembled a little, and she said coldly, "I'm most afraid that you will become like this, but I didn't expect ...... You've really become like this. I'd rather kill more people myself during this time than want you to fall! Xu Qingchen, you have disappointed me so much."

"It seems that we think the same thing, and I want it to be my own. Ayahan ......"

Shen Xiangzhi looked at the two of them, and before Xu Qingchen finished speaking, she suddenly said, "Ayahan, help me get dressed."

Ayahan said loudly, "Door Master! Don't listen to him! You don't have much time, and it's a moment to enjoy it! You owe no one!"

Shen Xiangzhi laughed miserably: "I owe ...... I have no talent for anything, and I have also thought about inheriting Qiao Fei's last wish...... At the last minute, I gave up...... Forget it, the last pill, I'll do it for them."

Ayahan glared at Xu Qingchen: "Get out!"

…

Those Jianghu people were already impatient to wait, and some people were eager to try - it seems that the rumors in the rivers and lakes are true, and Shen Xiangzhi may really be dead.

Just when the atmosphere was frozen to the extreme, three people walked out of the inner room of the lobby.

Not only the martial arts people present, but even everyone in the Thorn Gate were surprised - Shen Xiangzhi actually came out?

As usual, she was dressed in gorgeous black, with a disdainful expression on her face that was characteristic of the superiors, majestic and murderous.

The two behind him were Ayahan and Xu Qingchen, who followed Shen Xiangzhi into the lobby.

The lobby was so quiet that you could hear the heartbeats of the crowd.

Shen Xiangzhi looked around at everyone and said, "You have come to the Thorn Gate, I heard that it is to deal with some affairs of the rivers and lakes. I have something important to do, and I'm too late, so I ask you to atone for your sins."

No one dared to make a mistake now, and those who were eager to try it were honest.

Shen Xiangzhi sat on the chair of the main seat and asked, "What is the matter with you, and take your time."

These people who came were not stupid, they had thought about what to do if the rumors in the rivers and lakes were false, and they had already prepared a set of rhetoric and came up with a bunch of trivial things to prevaricate Shen Xiangzhi.

After a stick of incense, listening to the demands of these Jianghu people, Shen Xiangzhi gradually became impatient: "Okay, if it's just these things, you can just talk to Hall Master Xu or Master Feng...... You don't have to tell me personally, do you?"

Shen Xiangzhi's coercion made everyone dare not answer.

She stood up and waved her sleeves: "Everyone, if there is nothing important, I will not leave you in the Thorn Gate...... Light dust, send them for me."

Xu Qingchen clenched his fists and arched his hand: "Yes, the door master...... Ladies and gentlemen, please."

Shen Xiangzhi's back was already soaked with sweat, and Ayahan could see it clearly. The words just now were her strong spirits, and she held on for a stick of incense for a while, and she finally couldn't hold it anymore before sending the guest.

Waiting for Xu Qingchen to send those Jianghu people out of the lobby, Shen Xiangzhi's body finally held up to the extreme, his face instantly lost blood, his body was crooked, and he fell to the side.

Ayahan hurriedly supported her and asked eagerly, "Door master! How are you?"

"Shhhh......hhh......hh Don't show your stuff...... Ayahan, send me back."

At the beginning, the elixir of the bone was taken once a month, and once every ten days after a year. Later, she had to take it three times a day, and the duration of the effect became shorter and shorter. This last elixir didn't even last for an hour.

Ayahan empathizes with this worsening condition and her increasing dependence on medications.

After Shen Xiangzhi returned to the room, she collapsed on the bed, her whole body, every pore was hurting, but she no longer had the strength to struggle.

Ayahan lifted Shen Xiangzhi's upper body up and gave her a drink, but unfortunately she had an extremely hard time even completing the action of swallowing.

Ayahan couldn't help crying, she understood that this time it was not Qingcha's sequelae, and she would have cried if she had done it normally.

"Why bother?" Ayahan cried and asked, "Aren't you from Penglai? You should go back to Penglai after the Battle of Chang'an, why are you still here?"

Shen Xiangzhi smiled and replied, "My ...... Foster parent...... You're a nice guy...... I don't want them to see me the way I am...... My home is gone, there is no place to stay...... In retrospect...... Gate of Thorns...... It's the longest I've ever lived...... Local ......"

Aya wiped the tears that kept flowing: "Door master, you ......"

"Don't call me the master...... her voice became quieter, "My name is Chen Minyue...... How many years older than you...... You call me...... What shall you call me?"

She was the youngest child in her family and didn't know what she would call herself if she had younger siblings.

"Sister Xiaoyue!" Ayahan blurted out, "You're not Shen Xiangzhi anymore! You are who you are now!"

"Thank you, Ayahan...... You've always been gentle...... Actually, I have thought about it, if I was born in an ordinary family...... Will there be a few good girlfriends or something......

"I know ......"

When Li Fenglan came to the Thorn Gate that time, the two of them felt that Shen Xiangzhi was a little strange, in fact, if you think about it carefully, isn't it just Shen Xiangzhi simply showing goodwill? The three of them are not much different in age, so they should be able to talk, but she is used to keeping a straight face, which makes the two girls feel uncomfortable. And she's not very good at chatting either. In order not to embarrass the two girls, she took the initiative to leave.

I should have stayed a little longer, maybe I could have two more friends.

"Ayahan...... Like a person...... What does it feel like......

She was lying in bed for the past few days, unable to move. To combat the bone-crushing pain, she would think of something else to distract herself. For example, in March when a grass warbler flies, she met a rich boy in Yangzhou City. There are too many things missing in this life, and I can't make up for them at all.

Ayahan cried and replied, "Men are stupid, they speak straight, and they can't hear you if they make a little detour. Xu Qingchen's kind of wood, if he doesn't understand it, he can't understand it...... It's not good to like someone, it's just a bad thing."

"That's right...... Ayahan, do you have any family?"

"I don't have it, I'm an orphan, I was picked up by Master. But Master and Senior Brother are very good to me, they are just like my father and brother."

"I envy you...... We're friends, aren't we?"

"Count! Count!"

"That

…… Do me something......

Aya's eyes were hazy with tears, and she saw that those black lines appeared on Shen Xiangzhi's face again, spreading so fast that they were visible to the naked eye.

"You say! What do you want me to do?"

"Kill ...... Kill me......"

When the effect of the drug has passed, I don't know how many days I will have to be in a coma before I die completely.

Ayahan nodded vigorously, tears almost spurting out of her eyes.

Outside the door master's bedroom, several hall masters stood anxiously in the doorway. Xu Qingchen stood in front of everyone, with his hands behind his back, without any expression on his face.

I don't know how long it took, but the door opened, and Ayahan walked out.

There were tears in her eyes, and the expression on her face was both sad and indignant. Her chest was blackened by a large patch of blood—it was the black blood that Ayahan vomited when she used her internal force to shock Chen Minyue to death.

Looking at the hall masters in front of him, Ayahan's voice trembled: "The second master of the Thorn Gate...... Shen Xiangzhi, the soul returns to the sky."

The corners of Xu Qingchen's mouth moved slightly, and he slowly spoke: "Come on, give the door master a restrained appearance...... The passing of the master, everyone...... Please keep it confidential."

…

Next to Qiao Fei's tomb, a small new grave with no tombstone looks shabby.

Xu Qingchen had Shen Xiangzhi buried in secret, and there was nothing that could show her identity.

There are only two people in front of the tomb, Xu Qingchen and Ayahan.

Perhaps, she died when she was four years old.

"You got your wish?" Ayahan sneered, "Now that the Thorn Gate is stable, it is already in your bag, Master Xu, in less than three years, you have climbed very fast."

Xu Qingchen said dumbfoundedly, "You know, I'm not interested in rights."

"I don't know, Xu Qingchen, I don't understand you! I didn't get you in the first place! Every step seems to be right, every step is so urgent, but you don't think that there is a better choice at every step!"

Ayahan found that her emotions seemed to have returned to normal, with normal anger and joy, no longer paranoid, and she knew who she should hate.

"Ayahan, it's almost ......," Xu Qingchen said weakly, "As long as Li Fengyao is killed, the rivers and lakes will return to normal, and there will be no more foreign enemies in the Thorn Gate." ...... at that time."

"At that time, I can go back to Yangzhou with you and live the life you imagined?" Aya smiled, "Don't be stupid Xu Qingchen! Even if I die now, I won't live with you like this for the rest of my life! Do you still have humanity? When you let her take that pill, when you locked me in the stalactite cave, didn't you feel a little guilty in your heart?"

Xu Qingchen looked at Ayahan: "It's not just guilt...... At that time, life was better than death...... Ayahan, do I have any other way? You know better than me the effects of Qingcha's medicine, I once thought about slowly reducing your dosage, but it didn't work at all. When you cry out at me, when you thirst bitterly, I can't refuse you...... There's only one way I can do it, tell me, what's the better solution?"

Ayahan didn't know either, the reason why she said that was because she believed that Xu Qingchen had another way. Now, she wants to struggle one last time.

"Let's go back to Yangzhou now, don't worry about Li Fengyao, Feng Lan will deal with her...... You've lost enough and you've done enough...... Let's go back......

Xu Qingchen shook his head, and this shaking shook completely shattered Ayahan's confidence.

She shook out her short knife, grabbed a handful of her hair, and slashed it with a swing.

"I have nothing to do with you from today onwards, Xu Qingchen, you don't have to use the guise of 'for me' anymore."

Spread out the palms of your hands, your hair is blown away by the wind and scattered in the sky.

Ayahan turned to leave, not lingering.

Xu Qingchen squatted down, picked up the few hairs on the ground, and held them in his hands with great care.

Even if you deny me, then all this I do will be meaningless.
