The system asked me, a weak woman, to challenge a saint

Long Ying finally set his sights on Xue'er again and asked doubtfully: "Xue'er, how did you realize that I am no longer the guard of the ghost gate?"

Xue'er used the white sword to gently move to Chen Subaru's side. After jumping down, the sword disappeared. She bowed deeply to Long Ying and then said: "I was just guessing before, but after learning about your life I made a judgment when I was about to reach the end.”

Long Ying looked at Xue'er in surprise, and she continued to explain: "Captain Long Ying, my body carries the master's sword of life and death. When I first saw you, I felt that there was no life in you. At first I It's not certain whether all Ghost Gate guards are in this state, but after our previous exchanges, I don't think it's a common phenomenon.

"There are no new fatal wounds on your body, so you should not die suddenly. Therefore, I guess that you may have lost your identity as the guardian of the ghost gate."

Long Ying nodded thoughtfully, then turned his gaze to Chen Subaru and asked: "Xue'er said that you practice the sword intention of life and death, but the sword intention I just felt from you does not have the threat of death. , why is this?”

Chen Subaru replied: "The Sword Intention of Life and Death is too strong. Once the sword is drawn, there is no turning back. Therefore, I only used the Lingxu Sword Intent that contains the law of yin and yang before."

Long Ying suddenly realized.

Chen Subaru took the opportunity to ask: "Captain Longying, what exactly have you experienced? Why did you end up in this situation?"

Long Ying, a woman who seemed to have accepted her fate calmly, did not show any sadness about losing her life. Instead, she declared with a free and easy smile: "My mission has been completed."

Chen Subaru and Xue'er's eyes met after hearing these words. Long Ying's words made them fall into silence. They didn't know how to continue questioning. Direct questions seemed too rude.

However, after a brief silence, You Ye finally asked: "Is it because of the Great Master?"

Obviously, You Ye's guess was correct. Long Ying nodded gently. To her, it was not surprising that You Ye could guess this.

You Ye did not stop to ask: "So, is this related to the attack on the demon clan center by the guards of the ghost gate that day?"

Long Ying still maintained her smile, but her eyes showed her affirmation of You Ye's words.

You Ye stared at Long Ying, tears quietly gathering in her eyes, which looked particularly dazzling against her pale jade cheeks.

Her voice trembled, as if carrying endless pain: "That day, when the Ningzhou coalition forces attacked the center of the demon clan, all the ghost gate guards chose to stay to buy time for other monks to retreat, but then they mysteriously disappeared. …Is all this related to this matter?”

Listening to the trembling in You Ye's voice, Long Ying spoke slowly: "You are all smart children. In fact, I should have ended my life that day. However, the Ghost Elder, the Commander-in-Chief and Shouxin An agreement, like a strong obsession, has always bound me. Youye, Shouxin is willing to sacrifice his life to lure the demon soldiers to Shuangxi Town, all for you!"

As soon as these words came out, Youye finally couldn't suppress the grief in her heart, and tears burst into tears. She tried her best to suppress the crying and couldn't say a word.

How could she not understand the deeper meaning of such words? The reason why the Commander-in-Chief and the Netherworld Ghost Elder always keep You Ye with them is not only because she is the only survivor of the ghost temple, but also because of the agreement made at the cost of life. Fulfilling his promise to Chen Subaru and You Ye.

Long Ying did not say a word to comfort You Ye, but turned his gaze to Chen Subaru and said in a serious tone: "I understand that you are full of doubts, but I can't provide you with any answers you want to know. I am only the last person. A ray of yang soul and obsession. The commander-in-chief and the ghost ghost veteran entrusted you to me, asking me to keep her safe. I have done my best, Wen Ruo, your arrival is a complete relief for me. The great calamity is approaching, and the answer you seek is on the shore of Tuojiang River. Now, You Ye will be left to you."

The words fell calmly, Long Ying's eyes gradually dimmed, and finally he slowly closed his eyes. When the last bit of her Yang Soul power dissipated, she disappeared silently like a monk who meditated until death.

Chen Subaru was stunned by everything that happened suddenly. He stared blankly at Long Ying's body, his mind was in confusion and he was at a loss.

At this moment, Xue'er on the side gently poked Chen Subaru with her finger, and used her eyes to guide his gaze to You Ye, whose emotions were fluctuating rapidly but still trying his best to control it.

The Youye in front of you is full of grievances, helplessness and loneliness, but you still stubbornly hold on to the last trace of pride. The moment he saw her, Chen Subaru had only one thought in his mind, "Hug her."

Chen Subaru is a man with extremely strong execution ability. He immediately hugged You Ye tightly in his arms. At this moment, You Ye's emotions exploded like a flood.

She frantically broke away from Chen Subaru's arms and punched him in the face, which Chen Subaru subconsciously wanted to avoid. However, Xueer reminded him through telepathy: "Don't hide!"

It is said that the authorities are confused and the beholder is clear. Chen Subaru was so confused at the moment that he did not realize that You Ye had not mobilized any spiritual power. Her seemingly fierce punch did not pose any threat to Chen Subaru at all. Xue'er stood aside and saw this clearly. She sensed that Chen Subaru wanted to avoid danger, and immediately used her fastest telepathy to stop him.

At her prompt, Chen Subaru was stunned and did not make any reaction. You Ye's fist paused in front of Chen Subaru's face, and the power was released, and a "heavy" blow finally landed on his chest. Immediately afterwards, there was another heavy punch...

While constantly punching Chen Subaru's chest with her fist, she whispered repeatedly to herself: "Why did you just show up now..."

In Chen Subaru's mind, memories of the time he spent with You Ye began to emerge, from their first encounter in the Misty Valley, to You Ye's affectionate talk in the Eight-door Soul Locking Array, to Liu He's intervention, which forced them to separate.

It was Xiao Ling's appearance that resurrected the little girl Zhang Nange in You Ye's heart. However, when she needed emotional sustenance the most, she left.

Nan Ge was lucky. After Chen Subaru left, there was still Shouxin who silently guarded her and guarded her safety on behalf of Chen Subaru.

Nan Ge is unfortunate. She is in the catastrophe on the eve of the catastrophe. She survives because of Shouxin's protection, but the people who protect her leave her one by one. This is unbearable pain for a simple little girl. So You Ye reappeared.

But Nan Ge has been resurrected, You Ye is Nan Ge, and Nan Ge is You Ye. No matter how she tried to escape, that pure dark judge would never appear again.

Emotions accumulated bit by bit, temporarily suppressed by You Ye's appearance. But one day, these emotions will be unable to be suppressed and burst out.

Under the intertwined impact of his body memory and You Ye's emotions, Chen Subaru's heart welled up with deep love and pity for the woman in front of him.

As a clone, he knows very little about human love. Although he knows the concept, he has never experienced the emotional accumulation of a person over the years. He still has many puzzles about human emotions such as family, friendship, and love. .

Words may be able to classify emotions, but in real life, Chen Subaru found that these abstract concepts could not truly draw emotional boundaries clearly.

Now, faced with the strong emotions You Ye unleashed on him, he was confused as to how to properly respond.

He wanted to seek help from Xue'er, but the telepathy he sent to Xue'er was like a stone in the sea, with no trace to be found. At this moment, he couldn't go back and communicate with Xue'er, couldn't tell the confusion and confusion in his heart.

Perhaps it was because of You Ye's exhaustion, or because her emotional outburst slightly relieved her negative emotions, Chen Subaru felt that the intensity of her hammering on him was weakening. When he couldn't get a response from Xue'er, Chen Subaru made up his mind and hugged You Ye tightly into his arms again.

This time, You Ye's resistance was very weak, and he thought he had successfully comforted You Ye. But he couldn't be more wrong.

When he really held You Ye in his arms, her emotional outburst had just begun.

Heart-rending wails echoed in Chen Subaru's ears: "I...have nothing left!"

"Wen Ruo...I have nothing left."

"Why am I still alive...they all left me...why am I still alive."

"Wen Ruo... tell me why I'm still alive!"

At this time, Xue'er had already disappeared and turned into a living sword, cutting off this space and stopping You Ye's sadness here.

Otherwise, when the resistance monks outside learn about the death of Long Ying and You Ye's emotional loss, I am afraid that the military morale will completely collapse.

Despite the obstruction of the leather armor, You Ye's unique female body feeling could still be conveyed to Chen Subaru through the hug.

In such contacts, the exchange of emotions is two-way. Youye poured out his grievances and sorrows, while Chen Subaru also silently released his loneliness.

While he was trying to comfort You Ye, Chen Subaru realized that You Ye was actually giving him comfort invisibly.

This reminded him of the principle of complementarity in the law of yin and yang, "One yin and one yang are called Tao." At this moment, Chen Subaru seemed to suddenly understand something that he had never understood before.

He understood why Sword Spirit Xueer appeared in the form of a woman. This was both Xiao Xuan's arrangement and Murong Xue's tenderness. This was the mother's last care for her son before her remnant soul dissipated.

He also understood why he felt close to the sisters of the Chen family. Even though he and some of the sisters were in the same boat, he still couldn't feel the intention to kill. Perhaps this was family affection.

He understood why he was not disgusted with Lingxi's occasional "malice", but sometimes wanted to "hurt each other". This may be because he saw the shadow of his friend in her.

He also understood why he did not have too many negative emotions towards the betrayal of the four girls of "Pinghu Qiuyue" because before their betrayal, their emotions towards him were real. He didn't know how to define these emotions, but they did exist. .

At this time, Chen Subaru gently stroked the long hair scattered on Youye's shoulders and said softly: "Don't be afraid, you still have me."

His voice was full of warmth and determination, as if telling You Ye that no matter what the future holds, he will be her most solid support.
