I couldn't refuse my arch-nemesis' courtship today.

Xuan Ying really couldn't figure out what he had forgotten, a pair of bright eyes revealed a slight taste of longing, Shen Shimian leaned on Xuan Ying's shoulder in a tired state, and slowly reminded, "Ah Ying promised twice."

I promised Shen Shimian twice...

Xuan Ying's eyes widened in an instant. Isn't that just to repair the relationship with Shen Shimian in front of other people, and take the initiative to get close to him, chasing Shen Shimian?

Too many things have happened during this period, the small world and the capture of Sima Qingcang and the female demon cultivator, plus Shen Shimian has been taking the initiative, Xuan Yingguang thought it was too late to explain the matter of the white mandarin duck line, so he deliberately I don't intend to forget this agreement completely.

Shen Shimian brought it up at this time, obviously not planning to let Xuan Ying get away with it.

Xuan Ying bit the bullet and said, "Well...you know we are still tied with mandarin ducks, right..."

Shen Shimian interrupted "weakly", "Ah Ying, do you want to admit it?"

Xuan Ying hated others saying that he was untrustworthy, so he blurted out, "How is that possible?"

Shen Shimian said "Yes" in preparation, "I know Ah Ying will keep his promise."

Xuan Ying froze for a moment, trying to struggle to his death, "In this case, the effect of the mandarin duck line will be aggravated, obviously you said you believed me before."

"Believe me, believe me," Shen Shimian was not persuaded at all, "but I want Ah Ying to do this."

With a bitter face, Xuan Ying poked Shen Shimian's forehead leaning on his shoulder, "Hey, if the mandarin duck line becomes more and more influential, one day we will not be able to tell whether our will is affected by it or not. Even if you lose your heart, are you not afraid?"

Shen Shimian lowered his eyelashes, and his voice sounded a little distant, "I only obey the feeling at this moment. Doesn't Ah Ying believe in his own mind? As a swordsman, you should not lose yourself easily, Lord Yuhua In the end, I got rid of the shackles and obeyed my own will."

It was only then that Xuan Ying realized that he really cared too much about the mandarin duck line. He focused too much on the mandarin duck line. No matter how Shen Shimian reacted, he would subconsciously connect with the artifact, and even thus Instinctively think that I will also be affected by the mandarin duck line.

It is certainly right to be vigilant, but if vigilance reaches the point where Cup Bow Snake Shadow worries about gains and losses, it will be extremely detrimental to his sword heart.

Xuan Ying suddenly became serious, and Shen Shimian's words inadvertently woke him up, making Xuan Ying aware of a potential danger. Indeed, this incident was not only a threat, but also an opportunity to hone his sword heart.

No matter how powerful the artifact is, Xuan Ying will not let it be easily manipulated.

The faint gloom in his chest dissipated, and Xuan Ying suddenly felt that his Dao heart became much clearer, as if he had wiped off the dust left on the mirror, and faintly touched the barrier of promotion again.

Sensing the change in his temperament, Shen Shimian sighed secretly that Xuan Ying was really the most suitable person to practice swords he had ever seen, and given him a little more time, he would become the most powerful swordsman in the world.

Xuan Ying lost one serious worry, completely let go of his hands and feet, consciously accepted Shen Shimian's favor, and there is nothing wrong with making Shen Shimian happier. After thinking for a moment, he said solemnly, "I understand."

Shen Shimian could hear the willingness in his tone, and his pupils deepened a little.

Now that Xuan Ying has crossed that awkward hurdle, seeing Shen Shimian's mentality has changed completely, but he has no idea to prescribe the right medicine to make Shen Shimian happy for the time being, so he can only take out the magic weapon Xiaoding and hand it over. To Shen Shimian, "I asked He Changsheng, and he said not to use it within three days, and the danger will decrease after three days."

Shen Shimian nodded, "It's almost as I expected. This artifact will extract the most feared memories of the people who enter it to create illusions. After repeating it over and over again, if you are not determined enough, you will be dragged into an endless illusion. Ultimately lost, after three days, even if Sima Qingcang breaks the illusion, he will become weak due to excessive consumption."

Then he seemed to think of something, "Is Mr. He still good at divination?"

He kept his image of amnesia tight, Xuan Ying froze for a moment, remembering that in order to prevent Shen Shimian from getting to the bottom of the issue of "marriage compatibility", he said that He Changsheng was a magic stick, and now the matter of the mandarin duck line It was all clear, and he simply told the truth, "Well, he is quite good at divination."

Shen Shimian narrowed his eyes for a moment. At that time, Ah Ying really forced He Changsheng to change his words in order to prevent him from noticing the mandarin duck line. So they must be destined to marry each other. I just don't know how much influence the mandarin duck line has.

At this time, Xuan Ying worried, "Can you hold on for that long?"

The manipulation of the artifact consumes a lot of energy, and Xuan Ying feels uneasy in Shen Shimian's state.

Shen Shimian stared at Xuan Ying's finger in front of him, raised his hand to hold it, and said in a low voice, "Ah Ying just lose some more spiritual power to me."

Xuan Ying could feel the temperature of the other party's cold fingers, and pursed his lips to send him spiritual power. Since he knew that Shen Shimian could still use magic power, this was the first time he gave him spiritual power. The spiritual power was quietly conveyed, as if breaking the A certain boundary and barrier that Xuan Ying has always adhered to.

He thought vaguely, I seem to really hate Shen Shimian coming.

Hezhou quickly entered the predetermined area of ​​He Yun Town, and several people walked in quietly from the outside. He Yun Town is a relatively prosperous town in Luochahai. It is said that it is a town, but it is actually very large and prosperous. There was an endless stream of monks, and most of them were casual cultivators who wanted to come to Rakshahai to seek opportunities, but there was an inexplicable cold atmosphere lingering in He Yun Town, which made Xuan Ying very uncomfortable.

Xuanzhen glanced at Shen Shimian from time to time since entering He Yun Town, waiting for the hint he had planted for Shen Shimian to take effect.

Xuan Ying didn't know about this, but now that the nuclear boat had disembarked and everyone was no longer scattered, he had to start doing something to mislead Xuan Zhen's judgment.

A few people were walking on the bustling streets of Heyun Town, and there were many pill and spirit tool shops on both sides. He Changsheng asked to see if there was anything he needed to buy, and the few people picked one of the larger shops. go in.

Like the nuclear boat, the inside of the store has been expanded with arrays, and the inside is much more spacious than the outside. The signs indicate that the second floor is medicinal spirit fruits, the third floor is finished pills, and the fourth floor is magic weapons. Strictly organized and luxuriously decorated.

Xuan Ying took a look, and taunted He Changsheng unceremoniously, "Damn profiteer, look at his shop, it's for business, and look at yours, no wonder it looks like it's about to go bankrupt."

As soon as He Changsheng's store entered the courtyard, it was a one-story house, and even the signboard with the words "Changsheng Store" was tattered and crumbling.

He Changsheng was disdainful, "What do you know, a talented person will not spend his mind on superficial skills, I am much richer than you."

Xuan Ying suddenly remembered that he had just stolen [-] spirit crystals from him, and had to admit that He Changsheng was indeed richer than him, and he borrowed the [-] spirit crystals from Shen Shimian temporarily.

Liang Fu laughed happily, obviously very aware of his senior brother's embarrassing financial situation, and finally received the kind "hammer back" service from his senior brother.

Only Xuanzhen was out of place, absent-mindedly waiting for Shen Shimian to find a suitable time and excuse to leave alone.

A few people went to the second floor first. They didn't lack pills and spiritual weapons. Instead, they were medicinal materials. Some of them are common near Luochahai, and they can stock up on those that are not available elsewhere.

A beautiful woman in white on duty on the second floor greeted them when she saw them, "What do you guys need?"

He Changsheng didn't look down on these ordinary things placed outside, and said directly, "You have any high-grade medicinal materials that are special products of Luochahai, you can take a look."

He Changsheng, who had just obtained Xuanying [-] spirit crystals, looked rich and powerful.

The beautiful eyes of the woman in white turned around. Seeing that some of them had strange faces but extraordinary looks, they were different from ordinary casual cultivators who were licking blood at a glance. They must be disciples sent by some sect, and their tone was very gentle, "Several distinguished guests The purchase is large, please go to the tea room with me for a detailed discussion.”

The woman in white is named Liu Lanyun, and she is the daughter of the owner of this shop. The shop belongs to the Liu family in Heyun Town, and is a powerful force in Heyun Town. After they sat down, Liu Lanyun threw a record spirit crystal In the middle of the sky, the appearance and brief introduction of some rare medicinal materials are displayed in a loop, which can be called thoughtful service.

Several people carefully selected the medicinal materials they needed. After a while, all kinds of medicinal materials were displayed. He Changsheng and Liang Fu each reported what they needed. Xuan Ying was originally cash-strapped, and refining medicine was not his strong point. He didn't intend to buy it, but when the medicinal materials were displayed to the last one, his eyes were fixed.

Strictly speaking, the last one is not a medicinal material, but a chubby fruit that is slightly green all over. Shen Shimian noticed the abnormality in his expression, followed his gaze to look at the fruit, and suddenly his pupils shrank , almost crushing the cup in his hand in a gaffe.

The memories of Xuan Ying and Shen Shimian were brought back to 15 years ago at the same time. At that time, the five-year-old Xiao Shen Shimian was brought to the martial arts stage by Xuan Ying for the first time with the bet of "becoming friends after winning". It ended in defeat with multiple hang-ups.

That night, when Shen Yun heard that Shen Shimian was injured, he came to visit him in person.

Xiao Shen Shimian hid in a corner sullenly, embracing his knees, no one wanted to talk to him, and the seventh senior brother Tang Yu was helpless against him, so he invited Master Shen Yun here.

Different from the serious and cold temperament of Xuan Qingzi from Xuanjiangmen, Shen Yun is a gentle and handsome man with a gentle temper. He has always been caring and considerate to Shen Shimian. Mian is like a parent and child, and in the eyes of others, his biological father is nothing more than that.

Facing the bruised little Shen Shimian, the master Shen asked gently, "What's the matter, Ah Mian?"

Tang Yu complained angrily, "Junior Junior Brother wanted to befriend Xuan Ying from Xuanjiang Sect with good intentions, but he took advantage of his innocence to trick him into performing martial arts, and injured Junior Junior Brother like this because of his older age."

Shen Shimian still lowered his head, but when he heard Tang Yu's words, he couldn't help retorting softly, "No, that senior brother should have no malicious intentions."

He still remembers the bright smile on Xuan Ying's face and the sunshine in his eyes when they first met. How can a person with such a smile have vicious thoughts.

Tang Yu hated that iron could not be made into steel, "It's all fake, isn't it showing the true colors now?"

Shen Yun sighed, patted Xiao Shen Shimian on the back, pulled his arm, and checked the sword marks left on it. After so long, the sword marks had scabbed over, and the brown blood scabs intertwined on the young boy's white arm , looked very shocking.

"Ah Mian is fine," Shen Yun concluded, and moved his gentle eyes to the courtyard next door, "It's all skin trauma, plus his cultivation is too shallow, so he lost his strength, that child still didn't hit hard."

Xiao Shen Shimian understood, and slowly raised his head to look at Shen Yun, "Master, that senior brother said that if I win, I can be friends with him. I lost to him because I was too useless. Weak people are not qualified." Be his friend?"

Shen Yun stroked the top of his hair pityingly, facing the young boy's black eyes full of trust, gently comforted him, "Ah Mian just needs to be happy, it's very complicated to be the strongest." Things, there are so many brothers in front of you who can take responsibility, as a teacher, I hope you can live according to your own will."

"According to my own mind." Little Shen Shimian repeated half-understanding. Although he was precocious and talented, he was only a five-year-old child and could not understand too complicated things.

Seeing that he was in a better mood and no longer repulsed others so much, Shen Yun took out two chubby fruits with light green color and handed them to Shen Shimian's small palm, "Master will accompany you Look at A Mian, this fruit is A Mian's favorite, don't be sad if you eat it, go and explain it to the brother next door, don't leave any misunderstandings."

Xiao Shen Shimian grasped the fruit tightly, believing in the words of the master, silently took a bite of the fruit, and the sweet taste flowed into his throat, which effectively soothed his depression.

After Shen Yun left, Shen Shimian held the remaining fruit and mustered up the courage to look for Xuan Ying again.

In fact, Xuan Ying has been leaning against the wall to listen to the movement next door. Even though he knew he couldn't hear anything, he couldn't help but want to hear it. This was the first time he had hurt someone, and it was such a small child, so he was also confused.

I don't know if I have acted hard, will Shen Shimian cry?

Thinking of the tear stains on that delicate little face, the ten-year-old Xuan Ying felt very guilty.

Although all of this is his imagination, the real Shen Shimian is not a fragile crybag at all, at most he doesn't want to talk to anyone.

At this time, the enchantment at his door was touched, and Xuan Ying immediately squeezed the spirit sword in his hand nervously, wondering if someone from the High Heaven Pavilion came to the door to stand up for the younger brother.

He has long had the awareness that the other party will find him, and bullies will always be bullied.

Unexpectedly, what he saw was a single, little Shen Shimian.

The wounds on Shen Shimian's body were still intertwined messily, he refused to let Shen Yun and Tang Yu apply medicine to him, Xuan Ying didn't dare to look directly at his wounds, and met the child's dark eyes.

The slightly green fruit was spread flat in the palm of his hand, and Xiao Shen Shimian said sincerely, "Given by Master, it is my favorite fruit, brother, let's reconcile."

But the fruit was finally knocked to the ground by Xuan Ying.

After that, Shen Shimian never ate this fruit again.

The long memory was turned up, and the exact same fruit appeared in front of him. Xuan Ying suddenly felt like sitting on pins and needles. He secretly looked at Shen Shimian's face, and saw that his eyebrows were slightly twisted. He was obviously not very happy. Xuan Ying wondered guiltyly, did he remember it? , I bullied him so badly when I was a child.

Liu Lanyun was good at observing words and expressions. Seeing that they seemed to be interested in the fruit, she took the initiative to introduce, "This is a special luck fruit unique to Luochahai. To nourish injured souls, each fruit is worth about five thousand spirit crystals, and there are ten in total in this store."

Liang Fu took a deep breath, this fruit is really expensive, and was lamenting who would pay such a high price for such a mysterious-sounding illusory transport fruit, when Xuan Ying's voice sounded, "I bought it, all."
