Chapter 16: The Unexpected

Time flies, in the boring retreat, more than two hundred days and nights fly by in a snap of a finger, and it is the day of Jiang Cen's return.

In the past six months, He Yi would occasionally use his efforts to cover Sanrong Town in addition to cultivation, and listen to the news about the rivers and lakes in the taverns and teahouses.

The names of "Flying Sword Witch Jiang Cen" and the witch's minions "Scholar Sword Liu Qingshan" can often be mentioned, and the two walked the rivers and lakes and made a lot of fame. The witch's name has also slowly become a chivalrous girl in the chivalrous battles again and again. Of course, the chivalrous woman is the chivalrous woman in the mouth of the people, and in the martial arts, she is still a demon that everyone respects and avoids.

Jiang Cen and Liu Qingshan's acquaintance time will not be much shorter than He Yi's, and the two have been together and have experienced more things together. The two are of the same age, and they may have already sparked fireworks, and they may even have been engaged to each other for life.

Guessing the relationship between the two, He Yi doesn't know what kind of mood he is. Maybe I should be glad that I saved myself from a trouble. But in my heart, it's still a little bit unpleasant.

Perhaps, that is the subconscious possessiveness of men.

He meditated every day, almost all of his heart and soul on the Primal Chaos Mind Method, and the more than two hundred days passed quite quickly.

Jiang Cen came back three days later than expected, probably removing the three days of the New Year. When she led the horse into the Three Banyan Village, He Yi immediately sensed it, and at the same time, she also found that there was one more person coming.

In addition to Jiang Cen and Liu Qingshan, there is also a young man in a black suit who looks about the same age as them. The appearance and aura of the young man have been faintly seen, and if you think about it carefully, it seems that it is the killer night god who once infiltrated the Three Banyan Village.

Under the shroud of mental strength, He Yi saw Jiang Cen enter the door and threw the reins of the horse in Liu Qingshan's hand, and then walked towards the poolside pavilion with a low face without saying a word.

Seeing her move, the scholar's expression darkened slightly, and the killer's eyebrows tightened.

A gust of wind blew, and the Xuantie Sword roared, grazing the tip of He Yi's nose and piercing into the wooden pillar.

He didn't move, he clearly felt the sharpness on the Xuantie Sword, and he also clearly felt the distance of less than a minute, and it was extremely well controlled.

In terms of flying sword control, she is almost comparable to Jin Dan Zhenren.

"It's been half a year, and you've never moved like this?" Jiang Cen rushed into the small pavilion and asked him a question.

The flying sword was Ma Wei, and this was the tone when he spoke. He Yi suddenly felt that she had changed. Those smart eyes were full of complex emotions at the moment, slightly condensed, and the traces left by the experience of the past six months in her heart could be vaguely seen.

"Not bad. He nodded faintly and opened his eyes.

I haven't seen her for half a year, and her temperament is less green and more cold and decisive. His appearance has not changed much, and the resentment in his eyes is even stronger, and even grief and indignation are written.

"Why?" she asked.

When she asked about this, He Yi knew that the existence of the scholar did not play a big role. Although he learned to kill, perhaps, his cowardly character remained unchanged in essence.

He Yi replied truthfully: "I said, you are the first descendant of the Cangming Sect and the sect master. A generation of grandmasters always needs to go through many hardships in order to achieve great things that are difficult for ordinary people to achieve. ”

"But I don't want to be a first-generation grandmaster! I just want to be an ordinary woman!" Her eyes turned red all of a sudden, and she shouted loudly: "You used my dependence on you to trick me into promising you to become a member of the Cangming Sect, but at that time I thought that as long as I followed your wishes, you would always be with me! But you lied to me, you lied to me! When I left half a year ago, I always thought that you were deliberately pretending to be indifferent, but now I fully understand that you are really cold-blooded and ruthless!"

He Yi was silent.

Two more people came at the gate of the back garden, but she turned a blind eye. Tears flowed from her eyes, and she continued to reprimand with tears: "He Yi, you are a villain! From the day you saved me, you began to think about how to use me to help you start the Cangming Sect, right? At that time, I was lonely, and I could only regard you as the closest person in the world. But I didn't expect you to deceive me like this! Have you asked me how I feel? Do you know how I want to live? You have decided my fate with your self-righteous posture, but this is not what I want! I don't want revenge, I don't want to be a hero, I don't want to be famous, and I don't want to be a grandmaster of any generation! I, I have no home, no relatives. I just want someone I can rely on, is that wrong?"

After some questioning, He Yi was speechless.

Deception, exploitation, manipulation?

He suddenly woke up, it turned out that all this was his wishful thinking all along!

Jiang Cen, she was originally a weak girl, she lost her home and relatives, and even her brother, who could be relied on at the end, was killed by the water demon. At that time, she was terrified and helpless, but he came out like a god and saved everyone.

He Yi would make a deep impression on her heart, and He Yi knew this for a long time. But he never understood that his gradual guidance of Jiang Cen, the process of leading her to the path of cultivation and the sect master of Cangming Sect, was actually taking advantage of her dependent feelings at that time!

Take advantage of it, take advantage of it!

What an ironic word!

He thought he was helping her and forging a legend for her, but he never considered whether she was willing to do so! Every time he subconsciously thought that Jiang Cen's pouting and puffing was just a deliberate disguise of indifference and dissatisfaction for him, but he never thought about whether she was really so keen on Xiuzhen?

"I want to learn the skills, I want to be a god like you, just because I admire you and worship you. She walked into the pavilion, knelt in front of He Yi, less than half a foot away from him, and sobbed: "In the past six months, I have walked the rivers and lakes, and I have seen a lot of joys and sorrows, a lot of love and hatred. I learned a lot. You know, I didn't kill my most important enemy, because he had a wife who loved him dearly, and a pair of filial and lovely children. If I kill him, his children will have no father like me, and if I kill them all, the Nanming faction will become the next Three Banyan Village.

Brother He, I understand a lot of things, but do you understand? At first, I just wanted to stay with you, but now, I know that I am just a pawn of your Dao system......! What would happen to you if I regretted it now?"

Half a foot apart, the two looked at each other. She looked at He Yi forcefully, and there were vague traces of grievance and pity in her tear-wet eyes.

Being looked at by her like this, He Yi suddenly panicked, a little scared, and didn't dare to face her.

Liars, liars......

He smiled bitterly in his heart: It turns out that I am actually an emotional liar, deceiving the innocent and flawless flower girl......

Why do you treat a lonely and poor girl like this?

"I was wrong...... he opened his mouth before he spoke.

"It's okay, it's okay. Jiang Cen suddenly burst into tears and smiled, and a moving color appeared on the face of the pear blossom with rain. She said, "I'll give you a chance, it's too late for you to change now." ”

He Yi was speechless for a while. She smiled sweetly with tears on her face, and said, "Don't worry, Xu Lin can take over the Cangming Sect." He was so good that I was able to beat him with all my might. It wouldn't be wrong to hand over the Cangming Sect to him. And I, we, we can go anywhere you want. I've got my revenge, and I've done what I need to do. I'll go with you wherever you go in the future, okay?"

The setting sun shone slanting down on her long eyelashes. The eyes are shining, and the look of anticipation makes people can't bear to refuse.

Good no good?

Good no good?

Good no good?

This voice echoed in his head, resounding throughout the sea of knowledge.

Misunderstanding, too deep.

Ask yourself, he has never liked Jiang Cen, and he has never treated her as a woman. In his heart, he always just regarded her as a disciple and a little girl. But she didn't think so.

"I'm sorry......" He Yi slowly spit out three words.

After realizing that he was deceiving her, he felt a deep sense of guilt in his heart, but he couldn't be perfunctory in the face of this problem at this time, because perfunctory would only hurt her deeper.

After confessing, he whispered again: "Xiao Cen, I know that it is wrong for me to impose the Cangming Sect on you, but this matter is ......"

When the words came to his lips, he suddenly couldn't speak. Not because it's embarrassing, but because it's too hurtful.

Although it was not spoken, everyone who heard it already understood.

Jiang Cen's sweet smile suddenly froze, she trembled and stretched out her hand to draw out the Xuantie Sword and sent it to him, her nose twitched, she wrinkled her expression and squeezed out a smile, and said, "Thank you for the sword, you go, you are not welcome in my family." ”

He Yi sighed lightly.

It would be superfluous to say too much at this time, and besides, he himself was not good at clever tongues.

Standing up slowly, before leaving, he still wanted to remind: "The Dao Tong can start teaching, there are still ...... in the storeroom"

"Shut up, I won't ask you for anything anymore, and I won't practice the bullshit spells you taught anymore! Get out! Get out with your thingsβ€”" Jiang Cen suddenly roared. Before he left, she herself escaped from the back garden, spilling a splash of water.

"Miss, Miss-" Scholar Liu Qingshan threw down the sword in his hand, glared at He Yi angrily, and chased after him quickly.

After the two left, the killer Night God, a young man named Xu Lin, walked over slowly. said, "You promised her last year to teach me the way of immortality. ”

He Yi was so excited at this time that he didn't even want to say more.

He took out a handwritten copy of the "Bright Moon in the Sea" from the Sumeru ring and the jade talisman that recorded all the information he had comprehended about the Cangming Ancient Scroll exercises and spells and handed it to Xu Lin, he said: "This is the mental method of the Cangming Sect, it is not too difficult to practice hard and live for about a hundred years, if you have good talent, it is possible for more than 150 years." ”

Xu Lin took it and glanced at it hurriedly, and asked, "This is what Jiang Cen learned?"

He Yi nodded and said, "I originally intended her to be the sect master, and you to be the law enforcement elder." But she ...... now , forget it, let her go, if she doesn't want to, you can be the sect master too. I have only one request, which is to carry forward and pass on the Cangming Sect. ”

Turning over the hand is another ancient scroll and two palm-sized jade tokens, one of the two tokens is engraved with the word "Cangming", and the other is "law enforcement". These two pieces of jade, his intention is to leave them as the highest token of the Cangming Sect, and the ancient scroll is naturally a holy relic.

Handed over the things to Xu Lin, He Yi finally said: "If there is something you don't understand, and she refuses to teach you, go to the high mountain in Dongjudu to find me." ”

With that, his figure gradually dissipated in the small pavilion.
