Is the target of the strategy darkened? Then die again

"Human emotions cannot be explained clearly in one or two sentences. You hate me for choosing to let you live between love and life and death, and personally cut off all our bonds."

Xuan Changze never understood why Qin Yili would rather bear his hatred than tell him the truth.

"If the only way to save me now is for you and me to never see each other again, even if we no longer have each other in our memories, would you be willing?"

After hesitating for a moment, Xuan Changze froze when he realized his answer.

he……

Will choose to keep Qin Yili alive.

"So no wonder I made this choice~" Qin Yili said in a cheerful tone.

Xuan Changze: "..."

He hugged the man who was on the verge of disappearing tightly.

It seems that this can retain him.

but……

Both of them knew that this was a futile effort.

Qin Yili held Xuan Changze's face in his hands and kissed the face that was crying silently: "Death is not the end, I will always be by your side."

Obviously she wanted to see him cry, but for some reason Xuan Changze cried like this, which made Qin Yili feel a little soft: "We will meet again when you are 100 years old."

Xuan Changze, whose eyes were filled with tears, wanted to catch the person in front of him, but...he couldn't catch anything.

Time seemed to have stopped running, and he just stared blankly ahead where he could see nothing, letting his soul be pulled far away by a gravitational force.

In a daze, he seemed to feel someone kissing his earlobe.

……

"Brother Ze! How are you? Are you feeling uncomfortable somewhere?" The worried voice in his ear gradually awakened Xuan Changze's consciousness.

Don't want to open my eyes.

I don't want to face a world without Qin Yili.

But the chattering in his ears kept him unable to sleep, and the desperate sobs forced him to open his eyes again.

"Ling'er."

Thinking that without one brother, the other one would also be lost. When Zhang Ling'er saw him waking up, she couldn't bear the panic and hugged his neck: "Brother Ze... wu wu wu... you woke up, I thought you would never wake up again." I can’t see you anymore…”

Xuan Changze, who was choked so hard that he couldn't breathe, patted her back calmly: "If you strangle her for a while longer, I will definitely never wake up in this life."

Qin Yili often makes jokes like this.

Suddenly hearing such familiar words, Zhang Ling'er wanted to complain, but when she saw the face of the person in front of her clearly, all the words were stopped as if the pause button had been pressed.

Noticing her silence, Xuan Changze asked, "What's wrong?"

"...It's nothing." Zhang Ling'er suppressed the uneasiness in her heart and comforted herself that Brother Ze just wanted her to let go of him, not what she thought.

Standing up from the jade bed, Xuan Changze straightened the clothes that Zhang Ling'er had messed up, and walked straight to Guan Chengji. There was no emotion in his dark eyes: "You moved it. hand?"

Guan Chengji: "..."

He had been secretly on guard since Xuan Changze woke up, fearing that Qin Yili's sacrifice would cause him to become the culprit of destroying Xuanmen again.

But seeing that he and Zhang Linger were talking freely, he relaxed his nerves.

It turns out that like Qin Yili, he was only targeting him.

He sighed helplessly in his heart.

Fortunately, he had lived to this age and had looked away from matters of life and death. He had already arranged everything for Yun Lanshan when he promised Qin Yili to smash his soul into pieces.

Then he nodded: "It's me."

When Guan Chengji thought that Xuan Changze would take action against him, he just glanced at him and said nothing.

Guan Chengji was familiar with such a silent reaction. Could it be that after merging his soul, Xuan Changze was more inclined to the one he had watched grow up?

if it is like this……

He handed Qin Yili the white jade gourd that contained the soul fragments to him: "His soul was in danger before today, and these fragments were scattered out of his control. Although he can no longer be awakened to this world, You can also keep it as a thought."

at stake...

Xuan Changze's pretended indifference cracked, and after exchanging memories, he quickly understood why Qin Yili was on the verge of destruction.

It turned out that he had already sacrificed half of his soul without telling him.

But he knew nothing.

The palm-sized white jade gourd can be nestled in the palm of Xuan Changze's hand.

He just stared at it with lingering and infatuated eyes, and the loneliness and sadness on his body made Zhang Ling'er and others who were watching him feel uncomfortable.

……

Things were indeed as Zhang Linger feared.

Brother Ze has changed.

He is like Xuan Changze who carries Qin Yili's soul.

His attitude towards her was like that of Brother Li, who was always playful and joking, and from time to time he would use Brother Li's attitude to make sarcastic remarks to her.

Zhang Ling'er didn't know what to do with Xuan Changze like this.

Guan Chengji placed all the responsibilities of Xuanmen on her, and even if she wanted to persuade Brother Ze, she couldn't spare much time.

We can only learn about his current situation from those who came to Zhang's house to complain.

Xuan Changze, who used to be indifferent to provocations in world affairs, is now sharp-tongued and will take action directly if he disagrees with him. If nothing happens, he will often go to major Xuanmen families to have forced duels with him.

Under such torture, everyone couldn't help but cry in front of Zhang Linger.

Temporarily leaving Xuanmen affairs to the Yun brothers, Zhang Linger entered the Xuan family alone.

Even Butler Li silently chose to leave in front of Xuan Changze.

The Xuan family that used to make her feel lively was now so lonely that Zhang Ling'er's heart palpitated. She looked at the people standing under the eaves looking at the gray sky and didn't come forward for a long time.

"Is someone picking on you again?" A hoarse voice came from the front.

Zhang Ling'er knew that once she said yes, news would come tomorrow that someone else had been beaten by him, but she didn't know anything and just stood next to him, with some sigh in her clear voice: "I thought before You have no expression because of facial nerve necrosis. It wasn't until Brother Li showed up that I realized that it wasn't that you didn't smile, it was just that you didn't meet anyone who made you smile."

"Brother Ze, I miss him."

"..."

"Can I miss him with you?"

Xuan Changze, who had his back turned to her, slowly turned around, looked at Zhang Ling'er who was smiling, and patted her head with emotion: "You have grown up."

If something like this had happened before, she would definitely lie in his arms and cry.

"I am now the person in charge of Xuanmen, and I have a noble status. Don't pat me on the head." She said this, but she did not move Xuan Changze's hand away.

"..."

After the silence, Zhang Ling'er grasped the corners of his clothes like she did when she was a child: "Can't you let go?"

Xuan Changze nodded lightly: "Yes."

After thinking about it, how can it be possible to let it go again.

But he slowly raised the corners of his lips, revealing a smile that only belonged to Xuan Changze: "I won't worry you anymore."

……

Seventy-six years later.

Kneeling beside the bed were Zhang Ling'er's adopted nephew and his child. Xuan Changze slowly closed his cloudy eyes.

He fulfilled his promise to live to be a hundred years old.

He will die soon.

Although he knew that those words were just for him to live well, Xuan Changze still believed them for so many years.

It seems that he was deceived again.

It's just that this time there is no resentment in his heart, only connivance and helplessness.

"You don't believe me that much?" A voice sighed slightly.

Xuan Changze turned his head and looked at the figure standing at the door.

"I'm here to see you, little Taoist priest."
