I. Chapter 37—Affection

Small Taoyuan Villa, the palace of nourishing the heart.

The courtyard, which was originally silent, was a little louder at the moment, with slightly flustered footsteps and slight whispers. Listening intently, it was coming from a delicate house with a small wind chime hanging under the eaves of the door.

"God forbid, but don't have anything to do......"

A beautiful woman was pacing back and forth in the room with her hands folded, tears shining on her face that had turned slightly pale from nervousness.

"Oops, don't shake it!"

Li Changfeng, who was sitting on the edge of the bed, scolded impatiently, turned to calm down again, and put his hand on a white wrist, which seemed to be the action of taking the pulse.

Chen Zhizhi, who was at a loss, quickly stopped, and looked at the woman lying on the bed with tears in his eyes, and suddenly felt uneasy in his heart.

I saw the usually lively and active Lingxiu woman, who was pale at the moment, so peaceful, lying there quietly.

I don't know how long it took before Li Changfeng withdrew his hand.

Chen Zhiyi's eyebrows were tightly locked, and his deep worries were written on it, and at this moment he seemed to be breathing much slower, and asked softly: "Ru'er, are you okay?"

"It's not a big deal, it's just that the physical strength is overdrawn, and the qi and blood are too weak, just rest for a while. ”

This faint voice was like a heavenly sound at the moment, Chen Zhiyi's hanging heart seemed to have fallen to the ground, and he suddenly breathed a long sigh of relief, muttering: "It's okay, it's okay." ”

Looking at her relieved appearance, Li Changfeng's heavy mood was much better for no reason, and said: "Look at how nervous you are, God bless, God bless, and I'm not afraid to make others laugh." ”

Chen Zhiyi was stunned for a moment, but he didn't expect that at this juncture, Li Changfeng was still in the mood to joke, looking at his serious look, and then snorted lightly, and said: "I don't know which great immortal is so powerful, so I blinked an eye and flew away with Ru'er in my arms." ”

Speaking of this, Li Changfeng's face sank, and he said: "If it weren't for Ru'er's sword at the critical moment and hit Yue Bufan hard, I'm afraid that if that fan goes down, it will be half a life." ”

"Ahh

Li Changfeng's eyes turned slightly, and he said, "What are you afraid of? The sky is falling and I am on top of it, and the matter has come to this point, and there is no need to show Yue Zhuo mercy anymore." ”

Chen Zhiyi didn't know what to say, sighed, and was silent.

At this time, it was noon, the sun was in the sky, and in the light at the door, a corner of blue and white clothes was reflected.

"Ah, Miss Yu, why are you here?" Chen Zhiyi stood up to greet him, his voice soft.

Yu Xinshuang looked at the woman with slightly red eyes, her expression was slightly complicated, and she said softly: "I'll come to see Senior Sister Li, is she okay?"

Chen Zhiyi cast a grateful gaze and smiled indifferently, but it was full of bitterness, "It's not a big deal, just rest for a while." ”

Speaking of this, Chen Zhiyi suddenly felt that something was wrong, her heart suddenly jumped, and her voice was much softer: "Ming'er, why didn't he come over?"

Seeing her eyes gradually darken, Yu Xianshuang didn't know what to say for a while.

After a moment of silence, he finally took a light breath, as if he had made some decision, and said, "He passed out." ”

......

The cloister is clear.

In the deep and boundless darkness, he longed to wake up, but he could not open his eyes, and it seemed as if he had been trapped for a thousand years, so he had to be alone, groping in this boundless darkness.

So he grieved and angry, and vowed to tear this place apart, even if it was all gone.

It seems to feel the deep longing in his heart, the trace of anger since ancient times, lonely and unruly, has become the first ray of light in this boundless darkness!

In his blank mind, only the familiar voice loomed, which seemed to be the tone of the master in his memory.

“..... It's just a slight injury, and the mind is too agitated, which leads to a coma......"

"Listening to what Miss Yu said, Ming'er was depressed for some reason, so she was swayed by the anger of this sword and lost her mind?"

.......

A few more subtle whispers, Jiang Ming listened attentively, and suddenly felt as if the whole person was falling from a high altitude, opened his eyes suddenly, and sat up.

In the soft light, several figures looked at him.

"Ming'er, you're awake, are you okay?"

Looking at Shi Niang Chen Zhiyi's look full of concern, Jiang Ming's heart was hot, but he didn't dare to look at those gentle eyes for no reason, his head was slightly lowered, and he said astringently: "Senior Niang, I'm fine." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, he seemed to remember something, and suddenly raised his head and asked, "How is Senior Sister?"

Chen Zhiyi smiled faintly and said, "Your senior sister is fine, just rest for a while." ”

Saying that, she sat on the edge of the bed, gently stroked Jiang Ming's shoulder, and said abruptly: "Fortunately, you are fine, otherwise if something goes wrong, the master will feel guilty for the rest of her life." ”

Jiang Ming thought of his previous thoughts, and his heart suddenly felt as uncomfortable as if he had been pricked by a needle, and he didn't know what to say, so he was silent.

At this time, Li Changfeng strode in, still holding a dark and heavy sword in his hand, Jiang Ming's body moved, and he shouted "Master", but before he got up, a trace of pain appeared on his face.

Li Changfeng glared at him angrily, and said in a deep voice: "If you are injured, lie down well, this time you will give me a big face." ”

Jiang Ming was surprised: "What?"

Chen Zhiyi glanced at him with disgust, and said softly: "I heard Miss Yu say that you fainted at that time, so you don't know yet, you won this competition." ”

"Ahh

Li Changfeng looked at him in a daze, frowned, and said, "Although I was only slightly injured, I was tired, so let's have a good rest." With that, he put the sword in his hand on the table and strode away.

Chen Zhiyi glanced at it, and then a trace of apology seemed to appear on his face, and said: "This time you are unconscious, we are not here, it was Miss Yu who brought you back, you have to thank her when you see her." ”

Jiang Ming was stunned for a moment and nodded slowly.

Chen Zhiyi breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Okay, then you can rest well, don't be too tired, I'll just bring you lunch." ”

Jiang Ming sighed lightly, feeling flattered, and hurriedly said, "No, master, I'm fine, I'll go by myself after a while." ”

Chen Zhiyi smiled helplessly and said, "Okay, then you can rest for a while, and don't forget to come to dinner later." ”

As she spoke, she turned around and walked out, and just as she was about to walk out of the door, she suddenly heard Jiang Ming shouting behind her:

"Master!"

Chen Zhiyi turned around and said softly, "What's wrong?"

Jiang Ming seemed to hesitate for a moment, took a light breath, and finally asked in a soft voice, "Senior sister, did she lose?"

Chen Zhiyi sighed and said, "I haven't said it yet, but I should have lost, after all, the whole person fainted at that time." ”

Jiang Ming's eyes suddenly dimmed.

"If you lose, you lose, isn't there still you, and your master and I are also very happy. ”

Chen Zhiyi smiled and said, "You can rest first." With that, he turned and walked out.

Jiang Ming leaned quietly on the head of the bed, stunned.

.....

The Temple of Nourishing the Heart.

I don't know when Wang Qingshan, who arrived here, sat on an old chair, but on the other side was a beautiful woman, and besides, there was no one else in the main hall.

"Miss Yu," Wang Qingshan's face was solemn at the moment, and he asked, "Elder Li's two apprentices, how are they?"

Yu Xinshuang said: "Senior Brother Jiang and Senior Sister Li are fine, just rest for a while." ”

Wang Qingshan let out a sigh of relief, and Huo Ran said, "It's okay." After speaking, he kept rubbing his hands, looking like he wanted to speak and stopped.

Yu Xinshuang saw his strangeness and said softly: "Immortal Chief, if you have anything to say, it doesn't hurt. ”

Wang Qingshan hesitated for a moment, and said softly: "That, in the first competition, who wins and who loses, how to decide?"

Yu Xinshuang said with a calm expression: "As people in the righteous path, we naturally have to pay attention to fairness in doing things. ”

Wang Qingshan smiled and agreed: "What Miss Yu said is true. ”

Yu Chenshuang's eyes wandered, and he said: "The immortal chief was also present in that competition, so naturally he also saw it in his eyes, and the immortal chief must have a certain number in his heart." ”

"Huh?" Wang Qingshan's face was ugly, and he hesitated for a long time before he said: "Senior nephew Li's physical strength was overdrawn at the critical moment, so he gave the opponent a chance to breathe, and afterwards, although he was beaten unconscious, but another sword hit the opponent hard, in my opinion, ......."

When Wang Qingshan said this, he groaned for a while, and said in a muffled voice: "I think Senior Nephew Li is better." ”

Yu Xinshuang turned her head and looked at Wang Qingshan.

Wang Qingshan's expression was a little uncomfortable, and he seemed to want to say something, but he didn't say anything.

In the midst of silence, suddenly another pleasant voice came to my ears.

"Immortal Chief, what do you think of Yue Bufan's character?"

Wang Qingshan was stunned for a moment, and when he raised his eyes, he couldn't see the slightest clue on the beautiful woman's frost-like face, and couldn't help but be surprised: "What's wrong?"

Yu Xinshuang said slowly: "As the righteous path of the world, guarding the vast people, we must naturally have a benevolent heart in our hearts, if we and others are ruthless, what is the difference between them and the demon sect and demons." ”

Wang Qingshan suddenly realized, his face was full of surprise, but he couldn't hide the little joy in his eyes, and then he remembered something, and said with a solemn face: "But Elder Yue's side ......."

Yu Xinshuang smiled faintly and said, "I will naturally explain the matter to Elder Yue. ”

.......

In the courtyard, in a relatively remote hut, a wisp of cooking smoke rose above it, drifting along the breeze and diffusing it, it seemed to be the kitchen.

Li Changfeng sat in front of the stove, constantly adding firewood, looking thoughtful, and the flames between the stoves were also bright and vigorous.

Chen Zhiyi was methodically copying the dishes on the side, and suddenly felt something, and shouted: "Don't fill the firewood, it's almost burning!"

Li Changfeng woke up suddenly, and then put down the firewood in his hand.

Then, Chen Zhiyi glanced at him and said, "How did you think of coming to the kitchen today, you still look absent-minded." ”

Li Changfeng hesitated for a moment and said, "Have you noticed that Ming'er is a little weird?"

Chen Zhi asked, shook his head, and said, "No, why are you asking this?"

Li Changfeng stirred the firewood between the stoves, and the firelight reflected on his face, bright and uncertain.

After a long time, he said slowly: "I heard Miss Yu say that it was Ming'er who lost control of her emotions and was taken advantage of by the anger on that sword. ”

"Out of control?" Chen Zhiyi frowned, his eyes turned slightly, and after a while, he suddenly said: "You say that, I remember, when Ru'er fainted, I looked at Ming'er, and I was indeed a little distracted." ”

Li Changfeng's expression flashed a hint of strangeness, and he raised his head and stared at Chen Zhiyi suspiciously.

Only Chen Zhiyi paused for a moment, and then said leisurely: "Ming'er and Ru'er have the closest relationship and deep feelings, no matter who of them is injured, the other must be uncomfortable, what's so strange about this?"

"Deep feelings...... Li Changfeng muttered softly, and then said inexplicably: "Ming'er has been coming to our Heart Cultivation Hall for more than two years." ”

Chen Zhiyi replied blankly: "Yes, time flies so fast." ”

Li Changfeng smiled meaningfully, and said leisurely: "Ming'er and Ru'er are in their youth, and they get along day and night, and it is not strange that the two have feelings for each other. ”

"Ahh

Then, she lowered her head and didn't know what she was thinking, and after a while, she came to her senses and muttered, "I see, how can I say that the two of them are strange." ”

Thinking of this, Chen Zhiyi suddenly looked at Li Changfeng, with a faint smile on the corner of his mouth, and said strangely: "I can't see it, you are usually serious, and you can't imagine that you are quite experienced in love?"

Li Changfeng was stunned for a moment, his old face was slightly red, and he shouted angrily: "This clear-eyed person can see it, and I'm not an idiot!"

Chen Zhiyi's eyes narrowed, put on a surprised expression, and said in surprise: "I didn't say anything, are you angry?"

Li Changfeng snorted lightly and said coldly: "Hurry up and cook! ”
