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

Sima Qingcang couldn't move. After losing the fragments of his sword soul, his foundation was completely destroyed. He struggled to maintain his cultivation for a few days and was tortured by the demons and illusions. Now he is at the end of his strength.

Xuan Ying managed to catch one of Luo Chan's minions, and he couldn't do too much right away. If Sima Qingcang couldn't hold on to his death, his loss would be too great.

Not only could he not get Luo Chan's information, but he would also lose his sword soul because he could not hand over Sima Qingcang to let Qin Shanyue take revenge with his own hands.

Sima Qing calmed down for a while, he calmed down from the anger he had just woken up, and he didn't seem to be going crazy anymore, "As subordinates, how can we guess what the lord is thinking?"

Xuan Ying didn't expect to be able to pry his mouth open at the beginning, and dealt with him patiently, "Your foundation is ruined now, and it falls into my hands. There is no benefit in continuing to protect Luo Chan. Why don't you use what you know?" The message is exchanged for the chance of my life."

Sima Qingcang was very vigilant, "Why should I trust you?"

He was talking about why he believed in you instead of I would never betray the lord or that he didn’t know anything. Xuan Ying immediately sensed the difference, and the corners of his lips slightly raised, "I can swear an oath to my demon."

The oath of the heart demon is testified by the Dao of Heaven, and the result of breaking the oath will often damage one's own Dao heart and cause a lot of heart demons.

Although it won't lead to immediate death, it is also equivalent to self-destructing the fairyland and becoming a mortal from then on. No one will use the oath of the demon to deceive others.

Sima Qingcang's face softened a little, but he didn't let go immediately, "Let me think about it for a while."

Xuan Ying had been mentally prepared for a long time, and he was not anxious in his heart, but there was a bit of distress on his face, his brows were slightly furrowed, "How long?"

His eagerness was seen by Sima Qingcang, but his heart was still too tender.

The disciples of Xianmen who are not deeply involved in the world are just taking advantage of the magic weapon and Wuming, so they can make false claims first, and then wait for an opportunity to escape and ask the Lord for help.

Sima Qingcang said, "Give me two days to think about it, and you can stop torturing me with your mind and illusion."

As he spoke, he glanced around vigilantly, they were still in the illusion of the female demon cultivator.

Sima Qingcang's gaze shifted to the dying female Demon Xiu who was covered in blood, as if she still had lingering fears about the demons and illusions she had experienced.

Xuan Ying could understand Sima Qingcang's fear in his heart. After all, being forced to experience the most frightening scene over and over again was really uncomfortable.

But sympathizing with the enemy is slow suicide, Xuan Ying understands him but has no sympathy at all, Sima Qingcang is ruthless, he killed the entire Qin family for the sake of a sword, he does not need others' pity.

"Yes," Xuan Ying agreed with a smile, "but if you don't talk about Luo Chan, Mozun can always talk about it with deep feelings? Show your sincerity."

As he spoke, he pointed to the unconscious female demon cultivator beside him, signaling him not to try to deny it.

Sima Qingcang seemed to be lying on Xuan Ying's cutting board. The young man in front of him was sharpening his knife. His eyelids twitched, and he quickly made a choice after weighing the pros and cons. "Shen Qing and the Lord will occasionally cooperate and exchange messages. Find someone."

Who to look for, both Xuan Ying and Shen Shimian knew that this news was worthless, but Xuan Ying still pretended to be interested and asked, "Who are you looking for?"

Since it wasn't his own lord who betrayed him, Sima Qingcang didn't have any psychological struggles. He moved his chapped lips and replied quite simply, "Look for his missing nephew."

Standing behind Xuan Ying, Shen Shimian heard the word nephew, and the softness in his eyes instantly dissipated when facing Xuan Ying, his eyes were cold and captivating, but he didn't interrupt, just listened quietly.

"Shen Qing actually has a nephew." Xuan Ying was still curious, "Why did his nephew disappear?"

Sima Qingcang was silent for a while, "It is said that after Shen Qing's elder brother was killed in an ambush, he was captured by the enemy and disappeared for nearly 20 years."

Twenty years ago, Sima Qingcang had just secured his position as the National Teacher of Hotan Kingdom, and had not participated in the bloody night massacre, so his understanding of it was limited.

The recent attacks on Shen Shimian one after another are obviously inseparable from Shen Qing. Obviously, Shen Qing has discovered Shen Shimian, but because of Shen Yun's existence and the special nature of Xiushanyuan, it is difficult to get them, but Luo Chan's people seem to be unclear.

A few thoughts turned in Xuan Ying's mind. It seems that Luo Chan and Shen Qing are indeed just superficial allies, and they are also guarding against each other while cooperating. Of course, this is something that a fool can guess, and he just confirmed it by the way.

What if the other two suddenly turned enemies into friends just like himself and Shen Shimian?

Xuan Ying didn't want to be another Xuan Qingzi who was kept in the dark, so he still needed to be careful.

Sima Qingcang didn't know that one of the two people in front of him was Shen Qing's target, so he continued the topic consciously, "Honorable Lord agrees to help Shen Qing find people and exchange resources, and I don't involve much else."

Xuan Ying's spiritual consciousness spread in the space inside the cauldron, and he noticed that the female demon cultivator was waking up. Shen Shimian was a user of the divine weapon, and he discovered it faster than him, so the white mist surged to cover up the movement over there, Sima Qingcang didn't notice.

After the female demon cultivator regained consciousness, she heard Sima Qingcang's voice coming intermittently, "The blood worship messenger was sent by Shen Qing to supervise the joint mining of Hetian Guoxin's spirit crystal mine."

She subconsciously wanted to stop, "Shut up, Sima Qingcang."

As soon as he exited, he found that his voice was hoarse and soft, and covered by white mist, it couldn't reach Sima Qingcang's ears at all.

The voice of the other party continued, "You let me go, I can hand over the part of the spirit crystal mine that belongs to Shen Qing to you."

The female demon cultivator was even angrier, and then the white mist in front of her eyes suddenly dissipated, Xuan Ying picked up Sima Qingcang's arm and dragged it in front of her.

The face of Tsinghua Wushuang who once attracted her provoked a wicked smile, "Have you heard that?"

Sima Qingcang suddenly sensed that something was wrong, "You Yin Ben seat!"

Xuan Ying shook his head confidently, "I didn't force you to tell Luo Chan's secret, you are willing to say that the matter of Shen Qing is a voluntary exchange, how can it be Yin?"

Sima Qingcang understood that the general situation was over, so he closed his mouth with a gloomy face. Fortunately, the female demon cultivator probably didn't know much about Luo Chan's affairs. As long as he was still worth using, he could temporarily save his life. Let these two people not be able to live or die.

Shen Shimian removed the heart demon illusion, and the pulse-piercing chains on the female demon cultivator's body and the weird palaces around disappeared. She lay softly on the ground and said with hatred, "Shen Shimian, my lord and I have underestimated it." you."

Xuan Ying suppressed the anger surging in his heart, "You sent someone to sneak attack Shen Shimian in the Ruannan Secret Realm?"

The female demon cultivator sneered, "That's right, it was me. It's a pity that idiot missed and was not captured alive, and was snatched by Qingmao."

In this way, Qingyan still saved Shen Shimian's life, and Shen Shimian could last until Xuan Ying found him.

The female demon Xiu originally thought that Shen Shimian must have died at the mouth of Qingmai, but who knew that he was actually rescued by Xuan Ying, and dared to go to the assembly when he was seriously injured.

After receiving the letter, the female demon cultivator did not dare to reveal her identity as a demon cultivator on Longshou Mountain, so she immediately hired two casual cultivators, but Xuan Ying ruined the good thing again. Thinking of this, the female demon cultivator gritted her teeth with hatred. "Everyone has been deceived by you."

It was said that Xuan Ying and Shen Shimian were incompatible with each other, but who would have thought that it was Xuan Ying who hated Shen Shimian the most in the entire Xiushan Academy, who repeatedly sabotaged her plans.

Xuan Ying was stunned for a moment, "So, you didn't steal my things?"

He guessed before that the person who attacked Shen Shimian wanted to put the blame on him, a person who had a grudge against Shen Shimian. In this way, since the artifact mandarin duck line was recovered, Xuan Ying, who should not have appeared in the Ruannan secret realm, could not argue with it. Just create chaos and escape opportunities for those who are deeply in love.

The female demon cultivator did not want to take this unwarranted responsibility, and said vigilantly, "I didn't let anyone steal your things."

Shen Qing's target is only Shen Shimian, how could she make troubles and provoke Xuan Ying again.

Xuan Ying's brows were furrowed tighter, and his doubts became even more serious. It wasn't the magic cultivator who stole it. What was the purpose of the person who led him to the Ruannan Secret Realm? Could it be just a coincidence?

At that time, Xuan Ying didn't care much about the tasteless mandarin duck line, so he left it somewhere in the room, but he was attacked by a thief. Now that he thinks about it, there are problems everywhere. Why do you sneak in quietly and get out of your body.

Xuan Ying chased him all the way to Ruannan Secret Realm before the other party begged for forgiveness to return the mandarin duck line to him, but he ran away and disappeared.

Indeed, it seemed that he was deliberately brought in front of Shen Shimian, who was seriously injured, and asked him to use the mandarin duck line to save people.

I can't think about this matter carefully, the more I think about it, the more I feel that the mysterious twists and turns are like falling into the abyss.

The female devil raised her head slightly, "If you kill me or make me disappear for too long, the lord will have a sense, and you are not in Xiushan courtyard now."

The implication is that without the protection of Shen Yun, they will be unable to fly.

Xuan Ying seemed to agree and nodded his head, then suddenly lowered his head and asked her, "Do you know how many days have passed now, we have already returned to Xiushan Courtyard."

The female devil's expression froze, and she muttered to herself, "Impossible, the time in the cauldron is almost the same as the outside world, and I have been counting silently in my heart."

Xuan Ying opened his eyes and said nonsense, "It's because you don't understand the magic weapon Xiaoding at all, and you are reckless."

After several words from the female devil, Shen Shimian felt a little indifferent, as if he wasn't the one who almost died at the hands of the female devil.

Xuan Ying turned to look at him, and saw that his expression was as cold and repulsive as before, his eyes were deep and dark, and he couldn't see what he was thinking, and he was a little inexplicably flustered for a moment.

Xuan Ying shook his head to drive away his strange thoughts, and focused on the problem in front of him, "What does Shen Qing want to do by arresting him?"

He seemed to be asking this question a little casually, but in fact he clenched his palms tightly, his hands were covered in cold sweat, and even his breathing slowed down a bit.

Even though he knew he couldn't get an answer easily, he was still extremely nervous.

The female demon cultivator refused to answer at first, but Shen Shimian took a step forward at this moment, and a wisp of black air overflowed from her fingertips and penetrated into the female demon cultivator's eyebrows. Shen Shimian used exactly the same one when he caught the attacker late.

Xuan Ying noticed that the female demon cultivator started to tremble, but her hoarse vocal cords could not make a sound, so he frowned, "What are you doing?"

Shen Shimian looked at him, his cold eyes softened, and he said softly, "Brother, can you avoid it for a while?"

He called Brother Xuan Ying again, and Xuan Ying was keenly aware of the abnormality, "Why do you want me to avoid it?"

Shen Shimian seemed to be suppressing something in his eyes, and he pulled the corner of his lips at Xuanying, "Senior brother, this matter has nothing to do with you, don't look at it."

Then the white mist surged, separating Xuan Ying from him.

Xuan Ying was stunned for a moment, but couldn't find Shen Shimian, so he hurriedly lowered his head to find the red line, and followed the direction of the red line to find Shen Shimian.

The last time the disciple of the Yanhu Sect held the tripod, he could use his sword energy to force it open, but now he was worried about hurting Shen Shimian, so he had to use the most stupid way to find it.

While searching, she swears that when he catches Shen Shimian, he will definitely let him peel off a layer of skin. Recently, she has been stunned by beauty, and she indulged him too much, which made him arrogant.

Shen Shimian turned his head, with blood flashing in his eyes, and walked up to the female demon cultivator, his voice was as cold as ice, completely different from the low and soft voice he had when facing Xuan Ying, "Do you know the soul search technique?"

The female demon cultivator was in extreme pain, and she couldn't hear what Shen Shimian was saying at all. Shen Shimian controlled the black air that penetrated into her eyebrows and gradually infected her spiritual platform.

When the black air was about to break through her spiritual altar to search for her soul, Xuan Ying's angry voice came from the white mist, "Shen Shimian!"

Shen Shimian's hand stopped, and Xuan Ying's bright sunny smile suddenly appeared without any haze. If such a beautiful person goes into hell, will he lose Xuan Ying forever.

In the past, he didn't need to think about these things, because Xuan Ying confronted him tit for tat, and was always out of his reach.

But now, Xuan Ying also likes him, and his extravagant wish has become a reality, what is more terrifying than not getting it, is getting it and then losing it.

The movement of black air infecting the Lingtai stopped, Shen Shimian mysteriously dispersed the white mist, and Xuan Ying reappeared in front of him, even his angry face was so vivid.

Xuan Ying was anxious at first, but when he saw Shen Shimian again, he forced himself to calm down again. Shen Shimian's appearance was obviously not right, and he couldn't be impulsive.

He walked over holding back his anger, "What are you doing?"

Shen Shimian stared at him greedily, "I just think Ah Ying won't like what I'm going to do."

It’s okay if he didn’t say anything, but Xuan Ying got angry when he said it, a string in his head snapped, and he blurted out, “Aren’t we Taoist couples, what do you need to hide from me and have nothing to do with me?”

Shen Shimian was stunned for a moment, and temporarily left the female demon cultivator, the darkness in his eyes dissipated slightly, and even a trace of joy appeared, "A Ying, you admitted it yourself."

Xuan Ying realized what he said, and turned his face away from him uncomfortably, "You said that you would tell me everything I want to know, is it just to make me happy?"

Shen Shimian's joy faded, he stepped forward to hug Xuan Ying, lowered his eyelids, "I don't want Ah Ying to see my scary side."

Xuan Ying smelled the light and pleasant smell of medicine on his body and clenched his sleeves tightly, feeling confused, "I have seen you when you are in a mess, what else can I not see?"

Whether it's a hungry baby biting his fingers, or the bruised appearance of being beaten by him on the martial arts stage, or the appearance of deliberately tripping him to embarrass him, no one knows better than Xuan Ying.

Shen Shimian let out a sigh, "I'm afraid that Ah Ying will hate me, just like before, when he greeted me with a smile one day, he would ruthlessly push me away the next day."

"No," Xuan Ying retorted softly, "from now on, never again."

A gleam of light flashed in Shen Shimian's eyes, but his words were still bitter, "It's purely because of the mandarin duck line. Once the mandarin duck line is lifted, you will abandon me like a shoe. Now you just can't refuse me."

Xuan Ying couldn't hear his tone now, "The mandarin duck line doesn't just affect me. In the future, if it's undone in the future, you'll want to get rid of me."

"If my mind doesn't change, Ah Ying won't leave me?" Shen Shimian asked him uncertainly.

It was the time when Xuan Ying couldn't suppress his love for him, and when he heard the words, he said affirmatively, "No."

When his voice fell, it seemed to have greatly comforted Shen Shimian. The terrifying aura on Shen Shimian's body slowly subsided, and the beast in his heart was imprisoned again. He lowered his head and kissed Xuan Ying's forehead, and murmured, "You Promise me, if you lie to me, I will lock Ah Ying up and not go anywhere."

Xuan Ying responded a little dizzily again, he knew instinctively that he couldn't provoke Shen Shimian now, and he didn't care about Shen Shimian's nonsense.

At that moment just now, he felt that Shen Shimian was so strange, as if... as if he had returned to the time when the other party was 15 years old, a young man who was suppressing his anger, silently provoking him without saying a word.

At this moment Xuan Ying seemed to understand that it was not a naive provocation, but a silent call for help.

Fortunately, fortunately, he caught it instinctively, and didn't turn a blind eye and abandon it.

Xuan Ying didn't like that kind of Shen Shimian, he hoped that Shen Shimian would always be the child with pure eyes and carefree eyes when he first met at the age of five, knocking on his door cautiously and reservedly, obediently calling him senior brother.

But such Shen Shimian will die sooner or later, rather than being strangled by others, it is better to let him come in person.

The female demon cultivator was still trembling, she didn't know that she had just escaped a catastrophe in a short time.

Shen Shimian raised his hand to take back the black energy that penetrated into her eyebrows, and she struggled twice, her anger was like a thread.

Although Shen Shimian returned to a calm and indifferent look, Xuan Ying felt that it was not suitable to continue asking today.

Xuan Ying felt that he had to face up to this serious problem, so he pulled Shen Shimian out of the tripod.

After leaving that atmosphere, and the female demon cultivator representing Shen Qing, Shen Shimian returned to Xuan Ying's familiar appearance.

Xuan Ying couldn't spare him, he nodded his chin to signal Shen Shimian to stand in front of him, squinted his eyes, "What happened to you just now?"

Shen Shimian stood obediently and tried to walk forward, but Xuan Ying stared at him, "Stand still."

Ban Ban sat beside Xuan Ying, and echoed his words with a serious "woo hoo".

One person, one snow leopard, with full posture, Shen Shimian stood where he was, "Ah Ying promised not to hate me."

Xuan Ying choked, and played tricks with ease, "I don't hate you, I just want you to explain it carefully."

Shen Shimian said, "Didn't Ah Ying know that I am a demon cultivator? A demon cultivator has his own skills in doing things. I don't want to dirty your eyes."

Xuan Ying frowned, "Did you just want to search for her soul?"

Shen Shimian bowed his head in acquiescence, Xuan Ying felt a little headache, he suddenly realized that under Shen Shimian's cold and sharp appearance before, something had changed beyond recognition.

In the past, Shen Shimian hid it very well, Xuan Ying could only see the tip of the iceberg, and only knew that Shen Shimian was not as indifferent and harmless as his appearance, but now Shen Shimian is willing to strip off the false appearance and show him the most real side, Don't know if it's a good thing or a bad thing.

Xuan Ying thought he was slightly older than Shen Shimian, and now that their relationship is not what it used to be, he should take responsibility.

But he didn't know where to start. The female devil has done a lot of evil and killed Shen Shimian many times. If she hadn't been bumped into by him, and there was a mandarin duck line to save Shen Shimian, Shen Shimian would have been buried in the Ruannan Secret Realm. From this point of view From the point of view, Shen Shimian is right no matter how much he goes too far.

The female demon cultivator refused to explain about Shen Qing. Shen Shimian wanted to search for the soul to gain the opportunity to deal with the enemy who threatened his life. He was kind to the female demon cultivator, but Shen Qing would not be kind to him.

But emotionally, Xuan Ying is absolutely unwilling to use Shen Shimian's soul searching technique.

Soul search technique is a commonly used technique for blood cultivators, and it can harm the heaven and harmony. The more similar techniques are used, the easier it is to generate inner demons, which hinder the advancement of cultivation bases, and even end up in a state of madness.

Some problems cannot be avoided after all.

Xuan Ying took a light breath, "Have you gone the way of the Blood Cultivator School?"

Shen Shimian shook his head, "Just use some methods."

Xuan Ying was a little relieved, as long as the root is not crooked, there is still room for redemption, he said seriously, "Can you promise me that you will never use blood cultivation methods again?"

Shen Shimian looked at him firmly, "Is this a condition or an order?"

Is it a condition to be with him, or a simple order.

It took Xuan Ying a while to understand what he meant, and he continued to stare at him, "Do you want me, a dignified disciple of the Xuanjiang sect, to become the laughing stock of the whole world because of my Taoist companion's madness?"

Shen Shimian read his duplicity, and slightly raised the corners of his lips.

Xuan Ying seldom saw Shen Shimian smile, his cold and arrogant face was instantly dazzling because of this heartfelt smile.

Xuan Ying wanted to cover his heart again, he felt that he was not wronged at all, even if there is a mandarin duck line, the difficulty of falling in love with Xuanzhen is definitely not on the same level as falling in love with Shen Shimian.

If it were Xuanzhen, he might not be able to overcome the obstacles in his heart even in ten or eight years, and he might not be able to break through the restriction of the mandarin duck line.

In order to conceal his agitation, he continued to put on a stern expression to turn over the old score, "What did you just say, and you still want to lock me up?"

Shen Shimian's smile froze, he just lost his mind and said something he shouldn't have said.

In short, accidentally revealed the truth.

Xuan Ying snorted, inexplicably thinking of the dream he had when he just tied Shen Shimian's mandarin duck string. Shen Shimian confessed his love first, but after being rejected, he couldn't go crazy because he begged and imprisoned himself in a place where he was the only one, day and night. Ye whispered softly and pervertedly in his ear, "Do you love me? Do you accept me, brother?"

At that time, when I was dreaming, I was very frightened, I felt too horrible, I never thought that there would be a day when he promised to become a Taoist couple with Shen Shimian, thinking about it now, it seems that the feeling has become different again.

Xuan Ying's ears were hot, he quickly shook his head to get rid of this dangerous thought, and found a chain from the mustard bag.

This chain was originally a high-level forbidden spirit chain, but after following Xuan Ying for a long time, it gradually became a pile of scrap iron. Xuan Ying did not throw it away, but it came in handy at this moment.

He took out the chain and waved to Shen Shimian. When Shen Shimian came over, he snapped the chain on his wrist, muttering, "You actually want to lock me up! I'll lock you up first."

One end of the silver chain was wrapped around Shen Shimian's snow-white wrist, and the other end was fastened to the railing of the bed. Xuan Ying clapped his hands in satisfaction and said, "I'm going to lock you up here today and reflect on my mistakes. Now I still want to lock me up." up?"

Shen Shimian looked at his radiant face, and said in a low voice and honestly, "Think."

I want to, but I can't bear it.
