Chapter 440: Under the Mask

Canglong slowly followed Fang Ying, bypassing a clear lake behind the village, and along the slope of the woods, to a clean place where no one disturbed.

It was already evening at dusk, and the afterglow of the setting sun reflected on the grassy knoll was so intoxicating and charming. As the sun sets, the beauty of all things is intoxicating, which is very pleasant......

Walking to the hillock, Fang Ying stopped. Canglong also stopped, he didn't know what Fang Ying wanted to say to himself when he asked him out alone at this time......

And at this moment, Hongyun, who had been quietly following behind, also came to this place. However, she did not appear in front of the two, but quietly hid behind a big tree in the bush below the slope, quietly watching the two of them. Hongyun's martial arts are very high, and his ability to hold his breath is naturally strong, and Canglong didn't realize that he was here. Moreover, Hongyun's hearing is also excellent, plus there are no other people around, Hongyun can also hear the conversation between Fang Ying and Canglong clearly......

"Okay, Sister Ying, what do you want to say to me?" Canglong saw that Fang Ying seemed to have decided to say something to herself, so she asked in the first place.

Fang Ying turned around and faced Canglong, retracting her previous straightforwardness and liveliness, and said shyly, "Tomorrow...... I'll be able to go home tomorrow—"

"Yes, Sister Ying tomorrow, you can go home and see your father, you should be very happy, what's wrong?" Canglong asked again.

"Do you remember...... Fang Ying continued, "You once told me that when you send me home, Brother Canglong, you will take off your mask. Sue me for your true identity ......"

Speaking of which, Canglong understood and quietly invited himself here for this matter. In fact, along the way, Canglong has been troubled by this problem for a long time, and almost everyone wants to know what their face looks like, and Canglong is also tired of it. But as far as Fang Ying is concerned, he had promised Fang Ying to send her back to Yixian Gate, and then told her his true identity.

But Canglong still seemed a little reluctant. He was silent for a moment. Then he replied softly: "Haven't you arrived home yet? When you really get to Yixian Gate, I will take off my mask again and tell you who I am......

"But I want to know now—" Fang Ying's tone suddenly became firm, "After I go home." I would be glad to see my father. I'm scared of ...... I'm afraid...... I'm afraid I'll forget you, Brother Canglong. Then Brother Canglong, you're gone......"

Canglong didn't react much, he didn't dare to look at Fang Ying directly, tilted his head to the side and said, "Sister Ying." In fact...... I, like the real Canglong heroes, don't want to show my face to the world. The reason why I said that I would tell the world my identity was purely to repay the kindness of the Ge Gang Master......"

"Could it be that Brother Canglong, you...... Are you willing to live under a cold mask all your life?" Fang Ying said to Canglong, "Why do you wear that cold mask all day long, is it because your face is scary, or is it ...... You don't dare to face it?"

Canglong was silent for a long time, he thought for a while, and continued: "The reason why I became the Canglong hero was indeed by chance, but before that, I originally planned to die, so to speak, it was the real Canglong hero who saved my life, and I also inherited his mantle...... But in my heart, I will never forget her, and when she died, I decided not to show her true colors again......"

"She's the brother of Canglong...... The person you've loved all your life?" Fang Ying asked with some sadness, "In your heart, there is only that her, right?"

Canglong nodded, and said with a sad smile: "Although she is dead, I will always love her...... In fact, the real Canglong hero is the same, once for the sake of a lifetime of love, after the death of his lover, he never showed his true face in front of the world...... I was deeply touched by this experience, so I, like Canglong's predecessors, didn't plan to take off my mask again......"

Hearing this, Fang Ying showed an infinitely sad look - not only because of the poignancy of Canglong's love of life and death, but also because in Canglong's heart, there will always be only that dead her, and for her affectionate self, it is just a blink of an eye. Thinking of this, Fang Ying lowered her head a little depressedly.

However, Canglong didn't know Fang Ying's intentions. Canglong thought about it, smiled and comforted Fang Ying: "I have experienced life and death parting, and I know the pain of emotional sadness...... I already know, Sister Ying, you still have a long way to go, and in the future, you will definitely be able to truly find someone who truly loves you and accompanies you for the rest of your life-"

"Brother Canglong, aren't you the same?" Fang Ying couldn't control her feelings a little, and raised her head and said, "What 'already knows', Brother Canglong, you are not very young, why don't you plan your future life, maybe your future will have more...... More ......" Gradually, Fang Ying's tone gradually lowered, and finally turned into silence.

Hearing this, Canglong shook his head with a smile, and then said: "Originally, without her, I had planned to no longer live in the world, and I wanted to rush to Huangquan Road to accompany her as soon as possible...... But God took pity on me and let me see the real Canglong hero. It was also he who gave me a second life, so that I could understand that in this world, in addition to missing her who died, I also have the ambition to live in the world to 'do chivalrous justice'. Therefore I endured loneliness and continued to be separated from her......"

"You've seen real ...... Canglong Hero?" Fang Ying asked with some confusion, "Didn't Canglong Hero disappear seventy years ago?" If you really saw it, wouldn't he be ...... Isn't it more than a hundred years old?"

Canglong didn't say anything, just shook his head slowly.

Fang Ying didn't know what Canglong meant, but she didn't intend to continue the investigation. Fang Ying thought for a while, and then continued: "Brother Canglong, I'm going home tomorrow...... When you send me home, you'll ...... Where else are you going?"

Canglong smiled, but there was a hint of bitterness in his smile, and then he said slowly: "Didn't I say it before, when you send Sister Ying home, I will go to Bianliang ......."

"Go to Bianliang...... Why?" Fang Ying wondered again.

"I'm going to kill someone and avenge her death......" Canglong highlighted the words. The tone was a little cold, "I didn't have the ability to kill him before, but now that I have become a dragon hero, and my martial arts have also made great progress, compared to that time, the grasp should be greater......"

"Do you want to avenge her death?" Fang Ying heard this, and said with some worry, "Then Brother Canglong, you...... Will you die......" The more Fang Ying thought about it, the more frightened she became, and she didn't even dare to ask.

Mention sad and painful things. It should have been very sad. At this time, Canglong showed a calm smile: "I don't know, if I succeed, I will avenge her...... If it doesn't work. I can really accompany her in another world. There is nothing to be afraid of......"

However, the voice did not fall. Fang Ying suddenly rushed over, grabbed Canglong, and said with a crying voice: "Brother Canglong." I don't want you to leave me—"

There were tears in the corners of Fang Ying's eyes, in her heart, no matter whether Canglong had a good impression of her or not, she didn't care. Her only wish is for Canglong to stay by her side and stay by her side alive......

Red Cloud, who was snooping in the jungle, listened to the conversation between the two, as if he was touched, and his eyes also showed infinite sympathy and sadness. However, Canglong was secretly recounting his seemingly sad past, and a faint pain swept through Hongyun's heart......

Canglong could feel Fang Ying's affection, he seemed very calm, caressed Fang Ying's shoulders with both hands, slowly pushed him away from him, and smiled at Fang Ying: "I know, Sister Ying, what do you mean to me...... I'm not by your side, you can definitely find a man who really loves you and loves you, and can accompany you for the rest of your life......"

"But I don't want you to die, Brother Canglong—" Fang Ying continued, "Even if Brother Canglong treats me coldly and never treats me well, I just want you to live, Brother Canglong, that's all...... Brother Canglong, don't you want to die, okay?"

Now, Fang Ying's only wish for herself is to hope that she will live well. Thinking of this, Canglong was silent for a while, gently wiped away the tears from the corners of Fang Ying's eyes with his hand, and smiled softly: "When I said to take revenge, I just said that there was a danger to my life, and I didn't have the idea of committing suicide myself...... Don't worry, Sister Ying, I am a person who has died once, and I know the preciousness of life better than anyone else, if I succeed, I will choose to live well......"

When Fang Ying heard this, the heavy stone in her heart was only half gone. She looked up at Canglong's concerned eyes, and felt that Canglong at this time was more heart-warming than ever, if she could see his true face under the mask and know what kind of person he looked like, it would be very gratifying.

After thinking about it, Fang Ying stood up again, continued to look at Canglong with pleading eyes, and said slowly: "Brother Canglong, I will go home tomorrow, before that, I only want to have one wish...... Here, Brother Canglong, you are alone for me, let me see your face, okay?"

Because of the conversation just now, Canglong at this time was also a little touched. Fang Ying made this request again, and Canglong seemed to be a little hesitant.

"No matter what your face looks like, I want to see ......" Fang Ying cast an innocent and longing gaze at Canglong, and continued, "I want to see what this Canglong brother who is cold on the surface, but has always cared about me in his heart, and has single-minded feelings, looks like......

Canglong was still hesitating, and at this time, his eyes showed a complicated expression. "That's how you want to know my true ......"

Fang Ying nodded, and continued to look forward to it and said slowly: "Right here, for my own sake, let me see your face......"

As she spoke, Fang Ying's hand had slowly been raised, ready to take off the mask on Canglong's face.

Canglong didn't resist at first, the brackets on the mask had been untied by Fang Ying one by one, and with just one last step, Canglong's mask would fall off, revealing his original face that everyone wanted to know.

After hesitating, Canglong subconsciously blocked his mask with his hand, as if he was still wandering in his heart.

Seeing this, Fang Ying smiled at Canglong, gently stroked Canglong's hand against the mask with her right hand, and then continued to remove the mask with her left hand......

At this moment, the red cloud, who was secretly peeping in the jungle, was also looking at the dragon intently, and the face of the hidden dragon that she had always wanted to know - the answer she had been trying to find would soon be clear......

The mask slowly fell off, reflecting the endless crimson sunset in the distance of the hill, and Canglong's face gradually appeared in front of Fang Ying.

"Ahh Her whole body seemed to be intimidated. All the complicated feelings in my heart were poured into my whole body at once, and I couldn't extricate myself......

Gradually, Canglong's mask had been completely taken off by Fang Ying...... It was a delicate, handsome face, he was very young, no more than twenty in appearance, and there was a hint of fortitude in his face and eyes. But the most striking thing is that there is a clear slender knife mark on the left side of his face......

Fang Ying looked at Canglong's face, and her face also showed a hint of redness. She paused. Looking at the knife wound on Canglong's face. He asked softly, "Brother Canglong, you are so handsome, why are you wearing this cold mask, is it because of this knife wound?"

"Because every time I see this knife wound, I think of her......" Canglong replied slowly. Take off the mask. Canglong's voice also changed slightly.

Fang Ying pursed her lips. Looking at the dragon with expectant eyes. She continued to ask: "Since Brother Canglong, you have inherited the mantle of the real Canglong hero, I want to 'Canglong'...... It's not your real name, is it?Forgive me for asking, Brother Canglong, your ...... Real name ......"

Canglong was silent for a long time. looked at Fang Ying with an intoxicating gaze, and said softly: "That's right, I'm not a real Canglong hero, my name is ...... My name is Xiao Tian—"

It turns out that the Canglong hero who everyone in the world wants to know is actually Xiao Tian, one of the "Jianghu Bo......

In the bushes, hearing this qiē red cloud, as if he had been mentally impacted, the whole person covered his mouth and looked at Canglong with tearful eyes, which is now Xiao Tian.

"Xiao Tian, are you the ...... Brother Huang Ji said" Fang Ying recalled Huang Ji's words and continued, "Brother Huang Ji said that he once had a friend who he met in Bianliang, and his name was 'Xiao Tian', so you are ......"

"I'm that person......" Xiao Tian replied calmly, now he is a little more manly and calm than he was stupid and honest in the past.

"Is this the reason why you deliberately avoided Brother Huang Ji all day long......" Fang Ying seemed to understand something, and continued, "Because you are afraid that Brother Huang Ji will recognize you, and you don't dare to face him as a brother and friend ......"

Xiao Tianjing looked at Fang Ying's face, at this time, he had already revealed his true face, his mentality was more calm, and in front of Fang Ying, there was nothing that needed to be deliberately hidden.

"Then the one you said ...... her," Fang Ying whispered, "In the end...... Who is it?"

"Her name is Su Jia......," Xiao Tian replied quietly.

"Brother Huang Ji also mentioned to me that there was once a woman who knew the Cold Spirit Divine Skill as well as me......" Fang Ying struggled to recall, and continued, "In this way, the first time I healed for you, the internal power of the Cold Spirit Divine Skill I felt was ......"

"She passed ......it on to me," Xiao Tian said with a wry smile, "but she sacrificed herself to protect me...... I regret it, because the reason why she died was because of me, and if it wasn't for me and her conflict that time, I wouldn't be separated today. No one would have thought that the conflict with her would become a farewell between me and her......"

Xiao Tian said as he remembered the last painful memories of him and Su Jia. Because of the contradiction in the choice after coming out of Xiaojia Villa, Xiao Tian and Su Jia had a dispute. However, because of this incident, he fell into Wang Dasheng's trap that time, and finally became Su Jia's poignant love for Xiao Tian to jump off the cliff...... That being the case, the "person who wants to go to Bianliang to kill" that Xiao Tian said in his mouth is naturally his enemy Wang Dasheng......

Xiao Tian was still slowly recounting Fang Ying's last memories of himself and Su Jia, and without talking about the sore spots, Xiao Tian's eyes would also reveal infinite sadness......

However, at some point, there seemed to be some movement in the jungle on the side of the hill. Canglong, who was accustomed to being alert, should be called Xiao Tian now, immediately retracted his heart, regained a vigilant expression, and shouted at the forest: "Who is it?" Xiao Tian himself was also very worried, because he was originally giving Fang Ying a person to know his identity, but now someone peeped and revealed the secret.

Who else could be hiding in the jungle besides Hongyun? After listening to Xiao Tian talk about so many life experiences just now, Hongyun himself was touched a lot, and he forgot to hide his breath, and was simply discovered directly by Xiao Tian, who was very noticed.

However, Hongyun didn't seem to want to hide either, and she slowly walked out from behind the tree...... (To be continued......)
