When the boss becomes an attackable character

"Are you back?" As soon as Xu Xiaofei stepped into the room, he heard Shen Jinglan's voice.

He followed the reputation.

Shen Jinglan sat in front of the desk, the soft and rich fur on the armchair wrapped his body, a stack of ink-stained paper and a pair of pens and inkstones were spread out in front of him, as if something was written on the desk.He looked up at himself and Lin Yan.

Xu Xiaofei met his eyes.

Rumor has it that the leader was an extremely handsome and good-looking man when he was young, and he told everyone that he looked like him, Xu Xiaofei can probably imagine it; when he saw Shen Jinglan three years ago, although he looked sick, he was no longer He was handsome in the past, but he wasn't ugly at all; but now, Xu Xiaofei's heart is shocked by his appearance.

Even if he had expected it in his heart, Xu Xiaofei couldn't bear to look at him anymore, but Shen Jinglan was already... shattered.

I don't know what it's like to see Lin Yan who has changed into such an appearance day by day?

After only looking at him for the first time, Xu Xiaofei felt the strange connection between them, and they were connected again, and he felt the pain that Shen Jinglan endured all the time again.He was still injured, and the wound was aching, but Shen Jinglan's illness far surpassed his.

He could only hide all these flashes in his heart.

"Come, sit." Shen Jinglan is smiling happily. When he smiles, he is still the same as in the past, full of sunshine and warmth, which makes people who see it feel a sense of harmony from the bottom of their hearts, and makes people almost forget his love. sick.He smiled and turned back into a very attractive man.

There was no trace of sadness in his expression.Although he can't do anything about his gradually deteriorating body, he can still control himself, and he doesn't feel sorry for himself, nor blame others.He didn't want to let any more haze spread to the bottom of other people's hearts.

His words, which the two naturally wanted to listen to, sat down around the cases in front of him.

Lin Yan said: "Master, I brought back a batch of good fruits this time, and sent them to the alchemy room. From now on, the master will take them every day."

"Okay. It seems that you have gained a lot this time." Shen Jinglan replied with a smile.

His breath was shallow and short, and it was already difficult for him to speak.

"Xu Xiaofei, your Shenxiao Zhenshu... but you have mastered it?" He looked at Xu Xiaofei again and asked.

"Ashamed, I still have the last hurdle that I haven't broken through." Xu Xiaofei said.

He previously made an agreement with Shen Jinglan that once he mastered the magic technique of Shenxiao, he would come to join the Tianjue Sect.This time it came early because of the situation.

"If you have any questions...ask me later." Shen Jinglan said.Xu Xiaofei's progress was actually extremely fast, and he didn't pick any thorns.Then he looked at Lin Yan who was sitting next to him, Lin Yan was silently helping him organize the case, brush and ink, and carefully folded the scattered manuscripts.Xu Xiaofei also glanced at the words "Xuanxiang" and "Zhenqi" on the paper, thinking that what the leader wrote seems to be the essence of cultivation.

After Lin Yan finished cleaning, Shen Jinglan's hand covered the back of his hand calmly.Lin Yan lowered her head, and silently obeyed his actions without pulling her hand away.

Lin Yan's hands were white and soft, his fingers were longer and thinner, like a few dead branches that withered in the deep winter.

This used to be a hand that has held many romances, used to sway amazing swordsmanship in Dao conferences, and used to cling to a wine glass to sing and drink with friends... Until now, the things I owned are falling away one by one. Go, but at least there is one last thing that he can hold gently in his hand.

Xu Xiaofei also saw this little move, and felt sore in his heart.

He always felt that Lin Yan just forgot about him temporarily and would return to him sooner or later.However, seeing the relationship between these two people, he realized again that not only was he hopeless, but he also really couldn't help himself.No one has any reason to take Lin Yan away from Shen Jinglan's side, nor should there be anyone or anything that separates these two people.

"Cultivation is not in a hurry," Shen Jinglan smiled, "Now... tell me about your trip." He coughed lightly, and said intermittently, "I called Xiaochong earlier... He reported the situation in the teaching... and then chat with me. However, he was too honest, and the words were boring... on the contrary, it made me almost fall asleep."

"This time it went smoothly, but there were some twists and turns..." Xu Xiaofei and Lin Yan exchanged glances, and started talking about each other.They are not clumsy people, and they will never let the atmosphere stand cold, and the chat soon became lively.

Knowing that Shen Jinglan wanted to hear, they deliberately chose interesting things to talk about, and never mentioned the danger they encountered.

Shen Jinglan interrupted occasionally at first, then leaned on the seat and listened quietly.

They knew that it was difficult for Shen Jinglan to speak, so they took the initiative to say more and let him listen.

After chatting for a while, they suddenly realized that Shen Jinglan hadn't spoken for a while.

He continued to talk and laugh, and his eyes couldn't help turning to him.

Shen Jinglan's eyes were lowered, and there was a shadow on his face, covering his expression.He suddenly said "I'm going to retreat", his voice was hoarse and dry, and he disappeared in a blink of an eye.

Lin Yan stood up suddenly, her expression changed dramatically.

"Master...is it time to retreat again?" Xu Xiaofei asked.

He heard from Lin Yan that Shen Jinglan had to retreat and practice Sangong every once in a while to temper her body, otherwise she would not be able to hold on.Is it that usual time again?

Lin Yan faced the void in front of him, lost his mind for a while, and then said in a low voice: "Master, he has just left the customs not long ago."

Flashing into the underground secret room of Tianjue Sect, Shen Jinglan fell down, moaning unbearably.

He also wanted to bear it a little longer and listen to their stories.But a sudden severe pain came violently, sweeping his whole body like a gust of wind.Even if he has been suffering from illness all year round, he can't bear it any longer.To be able to leave the last sentence behind and use Apparatus, has exhausted all his remaining strength.

Cold sweat instantly soaked through the heavy clothes, and he was writhing in pain on the floor of this dark and empty secret room.

Even if the two of them didn't talk, he could still see the tacit understanding between Xu Xiaofei and Xiao Yan. He knew that they wanted to talk to him, but he still couldn't help thinking that they must have experienced many thrilling but also interesting things together.He looked at Xu Xiaofei, saw him talking with a smile, he was so like himself, yet so healthy and young, he could go anywhere, and he still had a long time to come.

He was really... envious.

It seemed that there were countless sharp knives stirring in his body, and it was also like an invisible mill grinding his flesh and bones into bloody mud inch by inch.The strands of hair sticky with sweat fell into his lips, and he didn't have the strength to push them away.His voice gradually became hoarse, and gradually he couldn't even groan.

The specially built underground secret room sealed all the sounds and breaths inside, isolating the outside world.

He must not be seen by anyone...especially by Xiaoyan.

Walking into the courtyard, Xu Xiaofei looked around. There was a large pond in front of Tianjuejiao Zuo's residence. There were trees beside the pond, and the trees were blooming. The environment was quiet.There are not many houses, just enough to live in.Although the water and soil in Youzhou are bad, if it is managed carefully, it can create some scenery.

When leaving Shen Jinglan's residence, he said that he wanted to visit Lai Yan, so Lin Yan brought him here.

After sitting in the room for a while, Lin Yan handed him a cup of tea and said, "I don't have any snacks here, so I can't entertain you."

Xu Xiaofei took a sip and put it down, smiled, got up and said: "Forget it... don't bother."

He could see that as soon as Shen Jinglan left, Lin Yan could no longer hide his tired expression.

Maybe it's not the physical fatigue, but the loss and depression accumulated over the years.For Shen Jinglan's illness, he had really worried for too long, and his spirit was too tense.

Seeing that he was about to leave, Lin Yan called an attendant and told him to take Xu Xiaofei to the place he had arranged for him.

He himself didn't seem to be bothered to take another step. When Xu Xiaofei was leaving, he sent him outside the door and watched him casually sit down on the stone steps under the eaves.

Xu Xiaofei was led to his residence. There was a courtyard and several houses.The yard is also very big, it seems that Tianjue Sect doesn't lack space at all.

He dismissed the attendant who was leading the way, and went into the wing alone.Everything in the room is brand new, the material is very good, and the bed looks very comfortable.

Xu Xiaofei took off his clothes and lay down on the bed.He was still injured and felt a little tired.

However... how could he sleep?

He lay there with his eyes open for an unknown amount of time, until the window, through which the gloomy glow was shining, cast in the deepest night.

He suddenly sat up again.

His heart was pounding, and he was very worried... He really couldn't let go.

He put on his clothes and went out to look for Lin Yan.Following the memory of leaving, he walked back to the big yard with a pool of water and a few trees.No one stopped and questioned him along the way, perhaps Lin Yan had already explained it for him.

As soon as he entered the courtyard, he saw Lin Yan.

He almost cried out.

Lin Yan was still sitting on the stone steps under the eaves just like when he left before, he didn't even seem to have moved in his sitting posture, staring at the void in front of him bewilderedly.His whole body seemed to have become a piece of wood, a puppet.

Guardian Zuo of Tianjue Sect was originally calm and alert, definitely not such a person.

Lin Yan didn't notice his going back and forth for a while, but after a while, the light in his eyes began to flow, and finally condensed on his face.

He just... sat here all night in a dewy night?

It was not easy to get so many good fruits in this trip, and it should be celebrated—according to the old practice of the Fruit Pinning Conference, even Kunlun, the number one righteous sect, was reluctant to get half of the fruits .But such an excellent result was of no use to him.Even if the green good fruit is effective, it can only delay for a little time, treating the symptoms but not the root cause.

Xu Xiaofei couldn't hold back the pain in his heart anymore, flashed in front of him, bent down, and stretched out his arms to hug him.

"Don't worry," Xu Xiaofei said softly, "I will figure out a solution with you."

He hugged the person in his arms and comforted him with a gentle voice, more gentle than ever before.

"You have done a good job, add me in the future, and I will accompany you to find the antidote for him. Until you find it, you will never run away."

"You also know me. My luck has always been very good. There are really few things I want to find that I can't find."

Lin Yan has not spoken.

Xu Xiaofei suddenly felt warm on his chest, wet by something, he lowered his eyes, did not show any abnormality, and still hugged this person wordlessly.

Under his calm appearance, the turbulent waves in his heart are really hard to describe.

In a daze... He caught something from the phantom that appeared in front of his eyes. This may be the closest he got to the past that he had lost.Although he forgot who he was and where he came from, he always remembered that there was one more important thing waiting for him to do.

Now he is very sure that this matter is the promise he just made to Lin Yan, that is to find a way to cure Shen Jinglan and save the two of them from the deep pain.

Xu Xiaofei's voice became firmer.

"I promise you, I will save him."

for sure.
