After the truth came out, they begged me not to die.

The main peak of Tianyuan Sect.

In a room in a small attic.

There is a carved wooden bed surrounded by bookshelves and wooden tables.

There is a dressing table on the other side of the bed. There is a hollow round stool in front of the table, and a yellowed antique bronze mirror is placed on the table.

At this time, a girl was sitting on the round stool, her face was facing the bronze mirror, and behind her stood a tall and slender young man.

The girl sat quietly, staring at the mirror.

The young man held an ivory comb in his hand, and with gentle movements, he stroked the hair from the root of the girl's head down to the tips bit by bit, and started over again, slowly straightening out the fluffy but black and soft hair. Long hair.

It can be seen from the surface of the bronze mirror that the girl's face is slightly pale, as if she has a serious illness, but her face is very beautiful.

Her face is oval-shaped, only about the size of a palm, with a little baby fat on her cheeks, thin and long eyebrows, long eyelashes, big shining eyes, a delicate nose, a small and delicate nose, and a small mouth. She is just so quiet. , it is not difficult to see that this is a beautiful embryo.

And the young man's appearance looked extraordinary in the mirror.

He has angular cheeks, straight eyebrows, and slightly thin lips, which make him look very handsome, but his eyes are as silent as dead water, bottomless, and when they turn slightly, they appear It's sharp and gives people a very indifferent feeling.

But from inside the bronze mirror, when the young man faced the girl in front of him, his focused eyes were soft, with a faint smile on his lips. The ice on his face faded away, making people feel like he was bathing in the spring breeze. warmth.

He is Chen Zun, and the girl is Zhao Lingyun, who has been lying on a jade bed for five years.

Since the ice-veined spirit body completely fit Zhao Lingyun's body, Xu Huayun moved her to a small attic on the main peak, under the care of Chen Zun. It has been half a month since she woke up.

Today is the apprenticeship ceremony. Master Xu Huayun has already gone to the main hall to receive the heads of various sects. In another hour, he will go to the main hall to perform the apprenticeship ceremony.

Therefore, Chen Zun dressed up for Zhao Lingyun.

Zhao Lingyun has no memory of the past, and Chen Zun is responsible for all her daily life. After half a month, she no longer feels strange at all.

On the contrary, she was born with a sense of familiarity with Chen Zun, so since she woke up, she relied on Chen Zun for everything.

The two of them were silent for a while. After a while, their hair had been combed straight. Chen Zun used a slightly unfamiliar technique to pull up Zhao Lingyun's hair and pin it with a hairpin. Finally, it was completed.

Chen Zun put the ivory comb away, asked Zhao Lingyun to turn her face, squatted down, and traced a small plum blossom on her forehead with a cinnabar pen. This was considered done.

At this time, Chen Zun observed it carefully, then put down his pen and said with satisfaction: "The makeup is done, Yun'er is so beautiful."

Zhao Lingyun turned to look at the bronze mirror. Apart from her slightly pale face, she also looked delicate and cute.

Which woman wouldn't like Chen Zun's praise?

She was very happy, smiled sweetly, and said, "Thank you, brother."

Chen Zun pinched her little face, stood up, and said, "Let's go, it's getting late, and the apprenticeship will start soon. Don't keep Master waiting."

With that said, he walked towards the door and stood in front of it, waiting for her.

"Brother, wait for me."

Zhao Lingyun looked back at the bronze mirror a few more times, and seeing that she could find no fault with it, she jumped off the stool and walked towards Chen Zun.

After closing the door, the two of them left the small attic. Chen Zun naturally held Zhao Lingyun's little hand and led her towards the main hall.

There was still a short distance to the main hall. Not long after Zhao Lingyun left, his eyes rolled around and he stopped.

Chen Zun turned to look at her and asked doubtfully, "Why don't you leave?"

"Brother, I'm tired."

Are you tired after walking so far?

Chen Zun was a little curious, but when he saw Zhao Lingyun's face with a cunning look on his face, he immediately understood her intention and couldn't help but find it funny.

He pretended not to know and said, "If you're tired, take a rest."

Zhao Lingyun saw Chen Zun pretending not to know, so she shook Chen Zun's arm, with a pitiful look on her face, and said softly: "No, brother, can you carry me on your back?"

"You are so old and you still have to be carried. If outsiders see it, wouldn't they make fun of you?"

Chen Zun had a look of embarrassment on his face.

"Yun'er is not afraid."

Zhao Lingyun curled her lips nonchalantly and hummed: "Brother, forget it if you don't want to. Why make such an excuse?"

Chen Zun saw that Zhao Lingyun seemed to be a little dissatisfied. He knew that she was using provocation, but it was very effective. In addition, he just wanted to tease her, so he squatted down.

"Whatever you say, my brother is willing to carry you on his back for the rest of his life. Come on up."

Zhao Lingyun's eyebrows were crescent, she quickly lay on Chen Zun's back, hugged his neck tightly, and then whispered into his ear: "Hehe, brother is the best."

"I'm just going to carry you for a while and come down in front of the main hall. Otherwise, if others see you, they will really laugh at you."

Chen Zun held her legs and walked slowly.

Zhao Lingyun put her cheek against Chen Zun's back and muttered: "They don't have the support of their elder brother, so they will only envy Yun'er."

"Don't talk nonsense. The eldest daughter avoids her father, and the eldest sister avoids her brother. You will be criticized by others. Be careful not to get married."

Zhao Lingyun whispered: "They are not brothers and sisters."

"What did you say?"

Chen Zun paused in his steps. Zhao Lingyun's voice just now was too soft and he didn't hear it clearly.

"Oh, I didn't say anything. Brother, hurry up and leave. You'll be late."

Zhao Lingyun didn't answer and started urging.

Chen Zun shook his head. She didn't want to say anything, so she stopped asking and continued walking.

……

Outside the mirror.

Zhao Lingyun looked at the figure gradually walking away on the path in the picture.

This memory suddenly appeared in her mind.

That broad back was so warm, and it is still very clear when I think of it.

But Ji Yanwu's cold face had a hint of complexity.

After nearly a hundred years together, Chen Zun had never combed her hair once.

In comparison, she was a little envious of Zhao Lingyun.

Qingqiu Yaer and Han Youjin feel the same way.

Only Ye Xiyu, who grew up next to Chen Zun, had her hair braided and combed until she was twelve years old.

Although I have a huge hatred for Chen Zun, thinking about it now, it touches the long-dusted memories in my heart, and it is inevitable that I feel a little loose.

Then she woke up with a start.

He is your enemy who killed your father and exterminated your clan. How can you be soft-hearted because of this?

Ye Xiyu thought of the scene of the old servant being mercilessly killed by Chen Zun, and her heart that had just warmed suddenly became cold again.

Shen Ruoyan also thought of the happiest time. Although it was not long, it was extremely precious to her. Now she was moved by the scene, and when she thought of Chen Zun's current situation, tears kept flowing on her face.
