Zhan Ye

The further you go in, the colder you feel.

Those memories of the past also seemed to knock on the door of his heart that had been dusty for many years.

Back then.

then.

When he was besieged by a group of people, he fell to the bottom of the cliff in embarrassment, and found this ice cave by accident, which just helped him adjust his breath due to the first big defeat in his life. The overly intense emotions and feverish brain.

When he calmed down and was almost frozen to death, he heard the sound of light and bright footsteps, walking towards him step by step.

Then he saw the girl.

The girl was born beautiful.

But it's not like he hasn't seen beauties before.

He just hadn't seen the second beauty whose eyes sparkled when he saw him, and happily said "I found you" to him.

That's how she found it.

From then on, he never wanted to leave again, but after all, he couldn't stay with her for many days.

But this time it was him who came to find her.

Right where she had found him.

Crossing the glacier, jumping off the ice cave, and opening the ice coffin, she just appeared in front of his eyes.

21 years.

Her appearance was still the same as the one he saw when he said goodbye to her 21 years ago, and it was also the same as when he first saw her here earlier.

For some reason, everyone said that she and her twin sister, Cen Jiangying, looked exactly the same, but he never confused the two for even a moment from the very beginning.As long as she stares and smiles, he knows that this is her, the unique Cen Jiangxin in the world, and the only lover in his life.

Brushing off the layers of frost on her body, he carefully embraced her in his arms. Tears rolled down from the eyes that had been aged since the moment he heard the news of her death, but condensed before they fell on her face. into ice slag.

He carefully pressed his face against her cheek with endless coldness, and placed a light kiss on her bloodless lips.

"sorry to keep you waiting."

"I'm here to pick you up."

"... Ah Xin."

Along with Duan Fangxing, Feng Chan and Duan Ximei went up the mountain together.

In fact, it was Mr. Duan who "hijacked" these two people outside Jianzhou City, and then the three of them came to Jiuchongtian Palace on a carving.

Duan Fangzong rushed to the Ice Palace to meet Cen Jiangxin, fearing that he would not come out for a while, they didn't want to disturb the meeting of the two, so they temporarily settled down in the Danxiao Palace.

Mrs. Duan didn't ask about the missing Du Yun until then.

He didn't think that nothing happened back then, and now something could happen to the two people who have become monks one after another at this age, he was just surprised that Du Yun would stay in Jianzhou City.

He naturally asked what he thought.

Feng Chan said lightly: "She wants to take this opportunity to accompany Xie Yu for a few days."

"She doesn't plan to stay in front of Xie Yu to 'repent'?" This was another surprise for Duan Xiemei.

Feng Chan shook his head: "She seemed to have this plan at first, but Xie Yu refused."

He recalled the conversation between Du Yun and Xie Yu after everything was over that day.

She and Xie Yin had nothing to say at all.

Especially after Xie Yin once again chose to give up everything around him for his own sake.

But she couldn't help feeling guilty and distressed towards Xie Yu.

He was supposed to be the bridegroom that day, but his bride, his sweetheart, expressed his affection in front of the whole world, and even confessed that he admired his elder brother.And he had to bear the ugly truth of both his parents that day.

Du Yun originally thought that if Xie Yu was willing, she would stay by his side to redeem her whole life, even if she might not be able to hear the word "Mother" from his mouth in this life.

Xie Yu only said a few words before cutting off her idea.

He said: "If you didn't go to become a monk after saving the next senior, but came back to see me, then it shouldn't be too late."

He added: "I was born without a mother. I may have needed it when I was young, but now I really don't need it, especially you and I have never been of the same kind."

He didn't explain why they didn't agree with each other even though they were his own mother and son, but Du Yun already understood.

Whether it was her or Xie Yin, everything they had done in the past was against the chivalry in this young man's heart.

And when she came back 20 years later, she didn't choose to meet him in advance, comfort him, and ask him for forgiveness, but exposed everything at the worst time and in the worst way, which was cruel to him.

She violated everything he stood for, morally and emotionally.

She really couldn't and didn't deserve to stay by his side.

Because she simply does not have the ability to make him better.

But in the end Xie Yu did not refuse to spend time with Du Yun.

Probably because of the feeling of never seeing each other again.

"Where is she planning to go when the matter here is over? Back to Qingdeng Ancient Temple?" Duan Ximei asked.

"I also thought she was planning to do this, but she—" Feng Chan frowned, "She said that she wanted to go back to the clan with us."

Duan Ximei was surprised again: "Are you going back too?" He only thought that the two of them would choose to go back to Qingdeng Ancient Temple to continue their practice, but unexpectedly they both chose to go back to the old place.

"Cultivation is on the mind and not on the body." Just now, Du Yun said in a tone of disapproval, now it's his turn to say this, Feng Chan is very comfortable, "Since your parents are going back, I will go back with me. The few of us How much time does the old guy have to live? You might as well have a companion for the rest of the day, and live every day."

Yes, they have had enough suffering in the past 20 years.As brothers, how much time did they really spend together?Now that each of them has died and turned over, naturally they can get together as they can.

Thinking of this, the man couldn't help laughing: "When Xi Yu takes over the burden of the city lord, he can invite the master and his wife to go with him at that time. I'm afraid it will be even happier."

Looking at his rare smile, Feng Chan couldn't help but sigh: "What about you?"

Duan Xu was startled.

Feng Chan said: "Do you want to go back with us?"

Duan Ximei suddenly froze.

Feng Chan sighed again: "The twelve zodiac signs are gone after that, Ah Ruo and Yinuo will stay with Du Yun in Jianzhou City for the time being. The one who didn't use the power of the twelve zodiac signs didn't make things difficult for them, just let them go quietly. Left, the reason given...because he was defeated by you."

In fact, Wei Feiqing didn't have to give anyone any reason at all.

But he said that, and there seemed to be no problem.

Although no one knows exactly who he is looking for.

Seeing that Mr. Duan was still silent, Feng Chan had no choice but to ask more clearly: "When you gave him the token, did you want him to use it? Or did you hope he wouldn't use it?"

If Wei Feiqing uses it, it means that Wei Feiqing really regards Mr. Duan as a person he trusts enough in his heart, although it is indispensable and a little bit used.

If he didn't use it, either he valued the friendship with Duan Ximei and couldn't bear to use it, but it could also be understood that he didn't trust Duan Ximei at all.

Wei Feiqing is too complicated a person, although Feng Chan is also inclined to the former possibility, but he really can't see through that person.

Duan Ximei said, "It's not that complicated."

Feng Chan was a little puzzled.

Duan Ximei said lightly: "It's just for peace of mind."

When he left, Wei Feiqing already had the chance to win.

Naturally, he knew very well that this man would never make any major mistakes in his work.

But he also knew exactly how badly this man had been hurt by his knife.

So leave someone for him to rest his mind, it's as simple as that.

After being stunned, Feng Chan couldn't help shaking his head and laughing: "I almost forgot, no matter your father, you, you, you are all straight-forward people." It was superfluous to put all those tricks and schemes on these two people.

Therefore, Wei Feiqing used the simplest method to face Duan Fangzong, and solved the big problem of who the Jiuchongtian Palace belongs to, which would never be solved in the eyes of others unless he turned the world upside down.

It's just that Duan Ximei is so direct, which makes Feng Chan even more puzzled: "If that's the case, why did you leave that day? What did the child say to you?"

Mr. Duan was expressionless when he heard the words, but suddenly changed the subject after a while: "When I was young, I only knew that I had no father and no mother. Appearance. In all these years of my life, I never thought that I would marry a wife and have children in my life."

Feng Chan's eyes darkened when he heard the words.

He wanted to say something, but Duan Ximei had already answered on his own: "Father didn't seem to be a person who likes to worry about such things, so that day in Guanju he suddenly mentioned my illusory marriage contract with He Xiuyun ’, I really don’t know where he got his madness from.”

Feng Chan couldn't help laughing: "He's a guy who says whatever he thinks of, most of the time he was just joking with you."

"He can take it as a joke, but I can't." Duan Ximei said lightly, "How could I run away because of his two words? It's just that when he mentioned the word 'marriage', I thought of a person, I couldn't resist taking a step forward."

Feng Chan was already dumbfounded.

Duan Ximei let out a sigh of relief: "I never thought about marrying a wife and having children, and I never thought about what kind of entanglement I had with Wei Feiqing. I thought that this should be the case between friends, but I will thank you back then. When Yu was a good friend, his state of mind was distinct and different from what it is now. And a good friend shouldn't... When I heard the word 'marriage', the shadow just appeared in front of my eyes."

Most people in the martial arts world take it for granted that Mr. Duan must have no friends.

The former Mr. Duan thought so too.

However, under the influence of Wei Feiqing, he finally realized that not only the former Xie Yu, but all the twelve zodiac signs are his friends, and even Wei Xueqing is also a friend besides his enemies.But are these friends the same as Wei Feiqing?

Of course not.

Mr. Duan trusts, relies on, obeys his words, and entrusts his life to Wei Feiqing, but when he clearly regards him as a stronger existence than himself, he always wants to protect him, cares about him when he doesn't see him, and is happy when he meets him.

He used to define such an emotion as a life-and-death relationship.

It was indeed a life-and-death friendship, but at the moment when he suddenly understood the meaning of the word "marriage" and understood the image of that person, he realized that it was not a life-and-death friend, but a life-and-death partner.

In fact, he didn't have time to think about what he had or didn't have. It's just that when he understood this mood, he wanted to see that person more urgently.

What's the use of thinking about such things?

After all, the two of you have to think together.

And then the man did give him the answer too.

"He said he must marry He Xiuyun as his wife." Duan Ximei said lightly.

……

Feng Chan suddenly didn't know what to say, he said dryly for a while, "Then what are you going to do?"

"I'm still thinking about it." Duan Ximei bluntly said.

Feng Chan finally couldn't help asking: "Aren't you feeling sad and disappointed?"

"Disappointed. But after being disappointed, I found that I still can't discard it." Duan Ximei's cold words seemed to mock himself, "As for being sad, I don't know which part I should be more sad about."

Feng Chan sighed for a long time: "You are really... Have you ever told your father?"

Duan Ximei suddenly smiled slightly: "He doesn't have time to care about me now."

Feng Chan gave him a complicated look: "Your father treats your mother...will you be angry because of this?"

"That's okay." Duan Ximei pulled the corner of his mouth, "After all, the most important person in my heart is not my father, but Wei Feiqing."

"..." Feng Chan couldn't help but said, "You really think he's worth it?"

After waiting for a long time, Duan Ximei said with a bit of self-mockery: "It doesn't matter whether he is worth it or not."

What matters is whether he wants to or not.

He didn't understand such things as feelings, but once he understood, he couldn't give up.
