Embers

It was probably driven to a desperate situation.

Li Mei slowly opened his eyes. Beside him was reading a book. There was a faint black cyan under his eyes. He hadn't slept all night.

"Aren't you going to sleep?"

The embers did not move away from the page, and only said lightly, "No." The voice was a little hoarse.

Li Mei sighed silently. When passing by, she accidentally glanced at it and realized that he was reading Zhuangzi's work.

He didn't sleep for several days, Li Mei felt something was wrong, looked at his tired expression, but couldn't ask anything.

They waited for half a month in this state. They were ready to fight to the death, but nothing came. The persecution of the court came to an abrupt end. Those disciples who were detained were all executed, and the others were not pursued , this matter is nothing.

But they still dare not take it lightly, and always feel that there are more dangerous waves behind this calm.

In late spring, after a night of rain, flowers are falling all over the ground, and the air is full of moist fragrance.

Ember pushed open the door, staying up all night made him look very depressed.

Suddenly he drew his sword.

When Li Mei tidied up the quilt and came out, she saw the dark figure holding a long sword, flipping his wrist, the sword light was piercing, and his movements were sharp, but for some reason, there was a trace of indescribable pain.

Li Mei leaned against the door and watched him, and suddenly couldn't help but said, "Do you think the imperial court will take action against us?"

Ember paused and didn't look back: "It's hard to say."

Li Mei sighed: "It would be great if we could always be like this."

Ember is not returning.

They waited like this for another month, all the pear blossoms fell, and the night rain became torrential, but the court still did not take any further action.Only then did they confirm that the matter really came to an end.

Li Mei breathed a sigh of relief, thinking it was a good thing, his face that had been gloomy for the past few days finally cleared up, and he began to think about what to do next.

After talking about his thoughts with Ember, Ember let out a casual "hmm".

Thinking about it, he must have been exhausted to the extreme. He has been drinking so much medicine for the past few days, it seems that he is hanging on his breath.

This thought made Li Mei feel painful, he looked at the embers planted on the couch, the man's face became paler and paler, and his sharp-edged face began to become thinner.

"Why don't you let Nineteen take office as soon as possible." He tried to ask Ember what he meant.

Ember raised her eyelids, and after a while, said: "Okay."

Knowing what he was thinking, Li Mei said: "Although the people who left before are also preparing to establish sects now, they are few in number after all, and they are not the opponents of the Devil's Cult. Don't worry too much about Nineteen, he will It's a good teacher."

Ember didn't say anything.

Li Mei touched his face distressedly, and sighed: "You've lost weight again."

"No problem."

Li Mei let out a breath, and suddenly said: "I would rather you just keep sleeping like that, and don't wake up. If you don't wake up, you won't have these worries."

Ember slightly closed her eyes, and when she heard this, she curved her mouth in a rare way.

This smile softened the whole face.

For a moment, Li Mei became obsessed with it.

"you……"

"If I don't wake up, you will be in charge of this huge Demon Cult."

He spoke slowly, low and softly.

With a sore chest, Li Mei laughed at herself, wanting to cry when she was too old.

But it's true that some people can't control their emotions.

This is the first time Ember is "for him".

Ember has done many things in this half life, most of them are against his original wishes, for Qiao Chuhe, for Ye Bozhou, for Nie Budu, for Yi Huaizhi, but only this one thing is for his Lixie.

Because he was afraid that he would not be able to bear it alone, he forced himself to wake up from the long and worry-free dream.

After following him for so many years, this is the first time he mentioned that he also has a place in his heart. This is more touching than any love words. Li Mei even thought, if there is such a sentence as Ember, she wants to die for him. It is also worth it.

Nineteen hadn't seen Ember in a while.

But now, Ember was standing in front of him, and he suddenly felt a little dazed.

But for more than a month, no matter how he put it on this person, there has been such a big change.

His face became paler and paler, and his body became thinner and thinner.A silky black silk robe, which should have fit perfectly, now looks a little loose.Only those eyes were still as deep and quiet, making people unable to read the emotions in them.

He couldn't help feeling the pain.

Even now he can recall the shocking feeling when he saw this person for the first time more than ten years ago.

Why now, that godlike person has become like this.

Gathering his mind, he knelt down on one knee: "See the leader!"

Ember raised her hand.

Li Mei glanced at Ember, who nodded slightly.

Li Mei told Nineteen that he planned to make him the leader as soon as possible.

Nineteen was taken aback, and his expression changed instantly: "Master... what's wrong with you!"

He is afraid.

Li Mei smiled, and patiently explained to him: "The leader is fine, but his health has always been poor, and now he needs to rest and recuperate, so he is no longer suitable for managing the Devil's Cult."

Nineteen immediately breathed a sigh of relief, and looked at Ember, whose deep eyes fell on him.

His face suddenly became hot, and he straightened up immediately: "I understand, I will definitely become a good leader!"

Ember didn't say anything.

But just that one glance is enough for Shijiu to protect the Demon Cult with his life.

In the next few days, Ember personally taught Nineteen practical problems.

Different from the gentle Li Mei, Ember spoke very little, she spoke concisely when necessary, and basically said nothing when unnecessary, and she never had a smile on her face.But Nineteen still felt that this was the happiest day in his years.

You can see him as soon as you raise your head, you can breathe his breath as long as you get close to him, and you can feel his presence, and your cheeks are blushing quietly.

Maybe it's because he drank too much medicinal soup, but the man's body always has a faint medicinal fragrance, which makes people feel at ease and addicted.

Once, when I was studying the account book, I accidentally looked up, and was surprised to find that the man had fallen asleep with his chin propped up, with a few strands of snow-white hair hanging down, which made his eyebrows look very good.

He suddenly felt his heart beating a little too fast, and leaned over like a thief, staring at his sleeping face.

Feeling his breath close at hand, he took a light breath, bravely twisted a strand of his hair, and kissed it with trembling lips.

For you, I am willing to do anything, I am willing to die.

He said piously and solemnly from the bottom of his heart.

Ember, on the other hand, was still sleeping deeply.

Half a month later, it was the day when Nineteen took office.

The people in the Devil's Cult have almost left, and there are only more than 100 people left.

But Li Mei didn't intend to cut out any steps that should be included in the ceremony.

Although the Demon Cult is now in unprecedented decline, it has also been brilliant in the past, and there is always the last pride left.

Of course Ember didn't object either.

After choosing a good day, preparations for the ceremony began.

However, the sky is not beautiful this day, and it is always gloomy. The wind blows across the cheeks, and there are cold raindrops. Looking around, it is all gray.

More than 100 people stood neatly at both ends of the road, and the gloomy sky could not erase the joy in their eyes.

Everyone felt that the crisis was over. Although the current situation of the Devil's Cult was very bad, from this moment on was a new beginning, and it would always get better in the future.

They firmly believed, and the light of hope appeared in their eyes.

Ember stood on the high platform, wearing a formal and gorgeous black robe, decorated with red tassels and ribbons, her long hair was tied up with an exquisite hair crown, her flowing eyes swept across her, and she was as gorgeous as before.

He quietly watched the audience, Nineteen was walking towards him step by step.

The young man pursed his lips slightly, his back was straight, his shoulders were still a little thin, but he revealed an indescribable stubbornness.

Li Mei watched from the side, and couldn't help but think about more than ten years ago, did Ember show such an expression at that time?

Can't remember exactly.
