Ten: Ten years
......
Time flies, the white horse passes through the gap, and it is another year of spring breeze and warblers chirping.
On Qingshui Peak, the ice and snow have melted, the stream is bubbling, the bamboo forest is clearing, the sword shadow is flying, the clothes are fluttering, and the young man is dancing with a sword, wearing a white dress in the tradition of the Yunliu Sect.
Dressed in white, he brought out his frost-like color, different from the warmth of Bai Yu in white, and different from Lin Qingyan's indifference in white, he was like the indissolvable billions of years of ice in the bottomless abyss, and there was a coldness that rejected people thousands of miles away in the silent place.
The young man in white danced the sword in his hand, and the thin bamboo leaves covered with the ground in the bamboo forest flew with the rotation of the sword in his hand, his eyebrows and eyes were deep, and the halo flowed in the blink of an eye, and it seemed that a little cold air leaked out inadvertently.
Undoubtedly, young people are extremely handsome, not bewitching, nor gentle and elegant, but there is a feeling that people can't take their eyes off.
Shen Chi danced the sword in his hand over and over again, but his eyebrows became tighter and tighter, and the irritability in his eyes became more and more intense.
"Smack~"
With a crisp sound, the sword in his hand finally came out of his hand and stabbed fiercely into a bamboo not far from in front of him, piercing deep through the past, and the bamboo was split in two from the middle.
Shen Chi had a cold face, stepped forward, and pulled the sword out of the bamboo without saying a word, and because he used too much force, there were subtle chips flying up and splashing on his face.
Tightening the sword in his hand, he was about to leave, when suddenly his steps paused slightly, and he turned his face sideways to open his mouth behind him, because he turned his back to the person behind him, so the man couldn't see the expression on his face clearly, but from the voice, he could hear that his words seemed to have a thousand layers of ice-
"I don't know what your purpose is for approaching her, but," the ink in Shen Chi's eyes was so thick that it seemed to overflow, "I will never let you get close to her Me, I will definitely not share her gaze with others!"
The man who was hiding in the shadows heard it, and only smiled, and then the smile on his lips disappeared as if it had never appeared.
......
A hidden stone wall in the Qingshui Peak mountain forest, this hidden area has a wide stone cave, and the stone wall designed by the mechanism closes the door of the cave, which cannot be opened from the outside, only from the inside of the stone cave.
At this time, Shen Chi was dressed in white, and entered from outside the forest to the stone wall, his pace was very fast, but his face was still that cold look, but the halo in his eyes was even more dazzling.
He walked to the stone door step by step, as if he remembered the person in the stone cave, there was a trace of tenderness on his always cold face, he slowly stretched out his hand and put his palm on the stone door, and was silent for a long time.
After a long time, Shen Chi put his hand down, as if he had a premonition of something, he took a few steps back and stood quietly in place, waiting for the appearance of the person in the stone cave.
He had been waiting for that person for a long time, since the time of the retreat a year ago, and every day, every time it was time, he would come and wait, expecting her to appear.
Waiting should have been an extremely boring process, not to mention that he had been waiting for a year, but the person in front of him had no trace of impatience on his face.
He lowered his eyebrows, his long eyelashes cast a thick shadow under his eyes, and his ink-like eyes seemed to be sprinkled with starlight, which suddenly gave people a feeling of quiet years.
There is a gentle breeze blowing through the forest.
Behind the stone door enclosed by the stone wall is a large space with tables, stools, chairs, and a stone bed at the very end.
At this time, there was a woman in white sitting cross-legged on the stone bed, her complexion was like frost and snow, and her delicate face had a cold expression, but her eyes were closed, and her long eyelashes trembled slightly, as if she was about to open her eyes in the next moment.
The corners of her clothes, the broken hair on her forehead are windless, and there seems to be an invisible air flow surging around her body, and the whole person is like a god on the top of a snow-capped mountain, giving people a feeling of being out of reach.
"Whew~" A mouthful of turbid air was spit out.
The woman on the bed moved, and in the next second, the closed eyes finally opened, they were a pair of eyes without emotional fluctuations, which seemed to be filled with a deep lake, clear, ancient wells without waves, like a high god looking down on all beings, everyone wanted to be able to make her eyes stay for them, but they couldn't catch her eyes.
Lin Qingyan got up from the stone bed, she felt the breath in her body, and the corners of her lips were slightly hooked, from the peak of the late Yuan Infant Period to the early stage of the Distraction Period, she spent a year, the first eight months of the year, she used to break through, and the last four months to consolidate the realm.
It can be said that this kind of cultivation speed and talent are also extremely outstanding in the cultivation realm.
There is a feeling of refreshment in the body, as if it has been reborn, and the dark wounds that were left in the original owner's body in the past have been repaired by the body on its own due to the breakthrough of the realm.
She got out of bed, and the white tail of her coat, which had been slightly folded from the bed, shook off her white and small feet, like a holy white rose.
Lin Qingyan bent down to put on his shoes and walked towards the stone gate.
The cave is enclosed, and even in the daytime it should be dim, but on both sides of the cave wall are inlaid with many night pearls the size of fists, making the dark cave as bright as day.
It's been a year since she retreated and cultivated, and I don't know what the situation is out there now, and what Shen Chi is like now.
Coupled with this year of retreat, Lin Qingyan has been accepting Shen Chi as a disciple for ten years.
In the previous nine years, she carefully taught the male protagonist and watched him grow up step by step.
Contrary to the original book, for fear of repeating the mistakes of the past, in the past nine years, she has cared for Shen Chi meticulously, like a good son and a younger brother, and finally Shen Chi successfully reached the Bigu period a year ago, and she was relieved to go to retreat and cultivate to break through the realm.
Lin Qingyan walked to the stone door, pressed the mechanism, the stone door slowly opened, she was just about to walk out of the door, but suddenly felt something hit her, and the sunlight in front of her was blocked.
A low voice sounded in her ears, with a hint of hoarseness, "Master, I miss you so much, I think you think..." Someone will take advantage of the situation and take your eyes away......
Lin Qingyan was stunned, the person in front of him hugged her tightly, and he didn't finish the words in his ear, but he could feel the tension in his tone, like a big net tightly trapping her and suffocating.
"Ah Chi?" Lin Qingyan was hugged so tightly by Shen Chi that she was a little out of breath, so she had no choice but to open her mouth and push the person in front of her.
Shen Chi finally let her go, but he was still very close to her, his always cold and frosty expression was completely missing at the moment, his handsome face was full of gloom, and his ink-like eyes were full of grievances, "Master, I really miss you..."
Lin Qingyan looked at Shen Chi who was half a head taller than her, she thought about the height of the male protagonist when she was only up to her waist when she was the apprentice, and then recalled the height of the male protagonist and Qi Ping a year ago, and pursed her lips slightly, did the male protagonist eat any catalyst?
And Shen Chi looked at Lin Qingyan in front of him and didn't answer, as if he was in a daze, the color in his eyes deepened, and he respected her... Who are you thinking about? I'm really unhappy, he is standing in front of Shizun, Shizun is the first person she sees when she comes out, why do you have to think about other people, his master, why, can't you, in your eyes and heart, it's all him?
(Lin Qingyan: It's you, good apprentice, I'm thinking of you!)
"Master?" Shen Chi shouted again, this time he stretched out his hand and pulled her sleeve, stared at her eyes with a gloomy expression, and said in a low mood, "Why did Shizun ignore me? Forgot me?"
Lin Qingyan met his extremely serious eyes, looking at the big boy in front of him showing a pitiful appearance, his big eyes were full of silent accusations, like the cute little milk dog she used to raise at home.
Every time she came back from going out to play, she could see it showing this expression, and then, she was fiercely cute, so Lin Qingyan would ravage it fiercely.
Why are you so cute? I awsl!!
???What's going on?It seems to be ahhhhh
"No... No," Lin Qingyan finally came back to her senses, she controlled her facial expressions, afraid that she would accidentally collapse her personality, she swallowed her saliva, restrained her desire to stretch out her hand and ravage Shen Chi's head, and organized her words, "How could I forget Ah Chi!"
"You are my only apprentice, my relative, how could I forget you?!" Lin Qingyan straightened his expression and said softly to Shen Chi.
Shen Chi looked at the person in front of him carefully, not letting go of her every expression, her face was still that cold look, but if she looked closely, she could spy on the waves circulating in her eyes, her voice like a clear spring swept past her ears, and suddenly melted the ice in his heart.
Is it the only one? Is it a relative? Somehow, hearing Lin Qingyan's words, although Shen Chi was happy, he still had a faint sense of loss in his heart, like... What is not satisfied.
What's more? Is there anything not satisfied? He's the only one for her, she's... Relatives, what is there not to be satisfied with?
Shen Chi frowned, a trace of doubt flashed in his eyes, but his expression quickly returned to normal.
"Master, I believe in you!" Shen Chi smiled, two small dimples appeared on his cheeks, and the whole person was bathed in sunlight, which was completely different from the cold appearance of the vice who was thousands of miles away in the bamboo forest before.
"I believe in Master," Shen Chi stared at Lin Qingyan's eyes very seriously, and said again, although he was smiling, it was impossible for people to take this sentence as a joke, he said solemnly word by word, "I believe that I will be the only one for Master..."
For some reason, he didn't want to say the latter sentence, it seemed that there was an inexplicable secret hidden in his heart, and even he didn't know what it was.
Lin Qingyan looked at Shen Chi who was inexplicably solemn in front of him, but he couldn't laugh or cry, this person is really, as always stubborn, and inexplicable, cute, secretly changing concepts, obviously the only apprentice, relative, why did he shorten it when he came to him, and became the only one?
