In the evening, the sky grew darker.

The slanted figure grew a little taller, with a more upright and slender figure. He was still dressed in purple clothes and a dazzling purple gold crown, but the aura exuding from his body was completely different.

Jungui Shaojun was full of arrogance, and now he has become an emperor who is not angry and arrogant. Just standing there quietly, the oppressive feeling brought by him is suffocating, and he dare not look directly at him.

Shen Liuxiang was stunned for a moment, Xu Xingchen walked towards him, stopped slightly on the road, squinted at the orange that had rolled into the grass, and bent over to pick it up.

"Give it back to you." Xu Xingchen handed him the orange.

Shen Liuxiang came back to his senses, there were too many things he wanted to say, and he didn't know where to start, so he opened his mouth, but he didn't say a word.

Xu Xingchen looked at him quietly, but didn't speak.

The forest fell into silence, only the sound of leaves falling.

Shen Bubu tilted his head, blinked his snowy eyes, watched the two shake their heads incomprehensibly, stretched out his hand towards Shen Liuxiang, and planned to continue making a leg pendant.

But the two chubby hands stretched out, but they were in vain.

"Reunion after a long absence," Shen Liuxiang made up his mind, and stepped forward to hug the indifferent person, "First, first give brother a hug!"

He wanted to warm up, and watched Xu Xingchen's reaction, who knew that the latter was motionless, silent, unbelievably calm.

Shen Liuxiang sighed, unlike in the past when he could see everything at a glance, now Xu Xingchen couldn't see through what he was thinking about.

"Daddy forgot about Bubu!"

Seeing that Shen Liuxiang was hugging someone else, Shen Bubu didn't hug him, and hurried away with his feet, "Bubu wants too!"

How could I forget Bubu.

Shen Liuxiang looked sideways and tugged at the corner of his clothes, humming and chirping, the little boy pursed his lips into a smile, let go of Xu Xingchen, and planned to give him a hug too.

At this time, Xu Xingchen suddenly moved.

He stretched out his hand, hugged him tightly, lowered his head slightly, and rested his chin on his shoulder: "Shen Liuxiang, so you still know how to come back to life and how to transmit sound to me, I thought..."

As he spoke, his tone softened.

From an emperor exuding supreme coercion, to a little beast who seemed to be abandoned and injured, his cheek was buried in Shen Liuxiang's neck, and he rubbed against it with a sad expression.

"I thought I would be punished because of you when I saw the emperor."

Shen Liuxiang blinked, suddenly the awkward feeling disappeared, and the corners of his lips curled: "Well, I'm back."

As he spoke, he found Shen Bubu standing by his feet, raised his two small arms, begging for a hug to no avail, tears rolled in his eyes: "Daddy forgot to hug Bubu, does it mean he doesn't like Bubu anymore?"

Shen Liuxiang patted Xu Xingchen's arm to let him relax, then hugged Shen Bubu: "It's heavy."

Shen Bubu pouted.

Shen Liuxiang: "How did you find it?"

Shen Bubu pointed his finger down: "Sister Ginseng sent the news, but it was too far away, and Bubu couldn't catch the exact location. Until the previous news came again, the big brother brought Bubu here."

As Shen Bubu said, he wrapped his arms around Shen Liuxiang's neck and leaned against his shoulder: "Bubu misses daddy so much."

Shen Liuxiang patted his head, and without waiting for a moment of tenderness, Xu Xingchen carried Shen Bubu back to the ground: "It's time to go back, Xing Lian is still angry with me, she should be very happy if you go back."

Hearing Xing Lian, Shen Liuxiang immediately had a lot of questions to ask, but this is indeed not a place for a long talk, he nodded, and said: "Wait a minute, Zhou Xuanlan hasn't come back yet, so I have to tell him."

The shadow of the tree fell on Xu Xingchen, and his face became gloomy: "There is no need to wait for him, just go with me now."

Shen Liuxiang thought for a while, then took out the sound transmission talisman and said, "If you can't wait, I'll pass the sound transmission to him."

Xu Xingchen lowered his eyes, snatched the sound transmission talisman into his hand, and crushed it under Shen Liuxiang's astonished gaze: "He won't be here for a while, so you and I will go back."

After that, he grabbed Shen Liuxiang and led them to disappear in place.

Shen Liuxiang's wrist hurt, and he was already in the imperial palace. He was thinking about what Xu Xingchen said just now, and wanted to ask more questions. A group of maids came from a distance, saw Xu Xingchen saluted, and then looked curiously at Shen Liuxiang.

Xu Xingchen asked: "Where is Xinglian?"

The leading maid said: "Di Ji is not in good health, resting in the room and not letting anyone in."

Xu Xingchen frowned, pulled Shen Liuxiang and walked towards the residence.

The maids behind them opened their eyes slightly and looked at each other. After a while, someone asked in a low voice who this was, and a maid who had stayed in the palace for a long time came back to her senses and said, "Yes, it's Young Master Liu Xiang!"

The crowd fell silent.

Xu Xingchen stopped outside the door: "She won't be happy to see me, you go and see her."

Shen Liuxiang remembered what Ao Yue said, nodded slightly, raised his hand and knocked on the door, and after calling out but no one answered, he opened the door and entered the room.

"Xing Li."

The room was silent, and a pretty woman was sitting at the table, with a tired look on her face. Just as she put down the teacup, she heard footsteps and thought it was Xu Xingchen, calling angrily, "Brother..."

Looking up, he got up from the chair in an instant: "Brother?!"

Shen Liuxiang blinked at her: "It's me."

Xu Xinglian pursed her bright red lips, trotted over, hugged him and couldn't stop sobbing softly.

"What's wrong?" Shen Liuxiang patted her head, "Xingchen has wronged you."

Xu Xinglian nodded, then shook his head again.

When she woke up that year, it had been almost a year since Shen Liuxiang passed away. Not only did she lose her emperor, but also her elder brother, and her only older brother, Xu Xingchen, also changed his appearance.

Xu Xingchen became indifferent and unpredictable, forcing her to practice day and night.

After a long time, Xu Xinglian became a little annoyed, slipped out of the palace from time to time, and once met a casual cultivator named Lu Qingyun in the cultivation world, she was very happy.But worried that Xu Xingchen would not agree, he did not tell him, but communicated secretly.

In the end, it was discovered by Xu Xingchen, and what happened later.

"My brother asked him to leave me, but he refused, and almost lost his mind," Xu Xinglian recalled now, still feeling terrified, "My brother later let him go, but he didn't let me have any contact with him. , to go to the realm of comprehension to meet him."

Shen Liuxiang frowned: "Why?"

"I don't know," Xu Xinglian shook his head and sighed for a while, "but I guess, my brother may be afraid that I will leave with Lu Qingyun and leave him alone in the imperial palace. He once said that you are no longer here, and he will wait for me to ascend. I took it safe and sound to reunite with the emperor."

Shen Liuxiang's heart sank slightly, Xu Xingchen must have turned into a dead end.

He asked a few more questions about Lu Qingyun: "What cultivation?"

Xu Xinglian: "His talent is not very good. He was in the Nascent Soul Realm more than ten years ago, but I escaped from the palace to see him not long ago. He is about to break through to the Transformation God Realm."

Shen Liuxiang: "You escaped?"

Xu Xinglian nodded and took his hand: "Brother, brother should listen to you, you can persuade him."

In the absence of Shen Liuying, she became Xu Xingchen's only sustenance. Xu cared too much and guarded her carefully, so she couldn't tolerate even the slightest disturbance.

Knowing this, Xu Xinglian felt a little distressed, so even though she was treated like that by Xu Xingchen, she never really complained.

She sighed slightly: "I know that my brother has supported the imperial palace all by himself. These years have been miserable, and I also know that he is doing it for my own good. I didn't blame him, but... I don't like it, I don't like the way it is now."

Shen Liuxiang was silent for a long time, raised his hand to touch the top of her hair, and stroked it: "Don't worry, leave it to me."

Xu Xinglian hummed lightly, and slightly curled the corners of his lips: "If there is a chance, I will bring Qingyun to see my brother. He is very nice, and my brother probably won't hate him."

Seeing her mentioning Lu Qingyun, Shen Liuxiang frowned, and his face was full of joy. After more than ten years, he still likes him so much, it seems that it must be him.

Shen Liuxiang suddenly felt a kind of home-grown cabbage, and it was gone, and he felt sad that he had become someone else's house.

Even if he is like this, I am afraid that Xu Xing, who loves Xu Xing from a young age, will feel like a thousand times better than him. Thinking about what the emperor knows...

Shen Liuxiang shook his head.

terrible!

He silently lit a candle for Lu Qingyun in his heart.

Shen Liuxiang told Xu Xinglian to take a rest and leave the room, but Xu Xingchen was nowhere to be seen outside the door.

Shen Bubu hadn't fully recovered yet, he was a bit sleepy, he turned into his original shape and lay back in the cold spirit soil, Shen Liuxiang asked him, and a root hair immediately pointed, "It's in the room before Dad."

Shen Liuxiang hurried away, and just after the maids left, Xu Xingchen put the fruit plate on the table, without looking back, and said, "I just rearranged it, you can find it to your liking."

Shen Liuxiang thought for a moment, and said, "No need to prepare, I won't stay long."

Xu Xingchen froze obviously, turned around, his face darkened: "Where do you want to go?"

Shen Liuxiang: "I just came to see you, and I can rest assured that you are safe and sound. I come to say goodbye to you and go back to Cangxue Residence."

"Back to Cangxue Residence?" Xu Xingchen sneered suddenly, with a ferocious expression on his face, "Since I brought you back, there is no way I will let you leave again!"

Shen Liuxiang frowned.

Xu Xingchen suddenly felt a lot of resentment, and approached him: "I was trapped in the barrier by you back then, my cultivation base was weak, and I couldn't do anything, I could only get the news of your death. I, not up to you!"

Shen Liuxiang took a step back, but was grabbed by the arm.

Xu Xingchen lowered his eyes, his eyes were dark, a phoenix feather appeared in his hand, and he raised his hand and inserted it between his black hair: "I will not hand over you and Xinglian to anyone, you all have to stay in the imperial palace and concentrate on cultivating , fly up to see the emperor as soon as possible."

Shen Liuxiang stared at him for a while: "What if I don't."

"I said, you can't help it." Xu Xingchen's thin lips were slightly raised, and he was smiling, but his eyes were extremely cold, "Are you waiting for Zhou Xuanlan, he can't come."

Shen Liuxiang frowned: "What did you do?"

"It's just trapping him," Xu Xingchen saw that he was worried, and his face became even more ugly. "He made you die. I hate him the most. Why did you come back after so much trouble? Why did you choose to find him the first time?"

Shen Liuxiang explained: "You misunderstood, he didn't harm me."

"It's the same for me, and the result is that you are dead!"

Xu Xingchen's hand grasping Shen Liuxiang's arm tightened suddenly, his fingers turned pale, "I won't trust him anymore! I won't trust others either! I want to guard you and Xing Lian until the day I see the emperor!"

Shen Liuxiang lowered his long eyelashes and fell into silence.

Xu Xingchen stared at him for a while, then gradually let go of his hand, said in a cold voice to rest early, and left with a flick of his sleeve.

At the same time, a barrier enveloped the room.

Shen Liuxiang walked to the table, took a bite of the orange in the fruit plate, froze for a moment, and stared at it with lowered eyes.

I don't know where I got the oranges, and the orange skins are sweet.

Shen Liuxiang was a little distracted, until the Nilin on his body made a movement, he took out Nilin, and was caught off guard by the word "Master".

Shen Liuxiang's eyes widened, and he was surprised that Nilin could still speak, when he suddenly realized that it was the movement coming from outside the window.

Shen Liuxiang walked to the window, raised his hand to open the window, and met a pair of smiling black eyes.

The Xuanpao figure stood outside the window, draped in the night, stretched out his hand towards him, and said in a low voice, "The disciple is here to steal the master again."

Shen Liuxiang's heartbeat missed a beat, and he held his slender hand, and flipped out from the window sill: "Have you recovered your memory?" This was the action Zhou Xuanlan found in the middle of the night when Xu Xingchen stared at him and refused to let him go out when he was in Qilin City, saying if.

Zhou Xuanlan didn't answer, or couldn't speak for a while, but just put his arms around Shen Liuxiang's waist and hugged him tightly.

The surroundings were extremely quiet, and a fallen leaf was blown by the wind to Shen Liuxiang's feet.

Shen Liuxiang didn't know how long he had been hugged, so he reached out and stroked Zhou Xuanlan's back: "What's wrong? Are you still angry with me? I, I didn't die on purpose. Master took me away in a hurry. I stayed in the magic palace for a long time. For more than ten years, my brother-in-law refused to spread the news to the outside world in order to let me recuperate."

Zhou Xuanlan tightened his fingers: "I thought... Master abandoned me for righteousness."

At that time, Shen Liuxiang suddenly said sorry through the jade slip, and he rushed like crazy, but under the tree... only a cold corpse remained.

"How, how is it possible," Shen Liu sounded a drum in his heart, and then said loudly, "I can't bear to let you be sad!"

Zhou Xuanlan's heart suddenly seemed to be stuffed with sugar, so sweet that he was a little overwhelmed, and after a while, he pressed down the raised corners of his lips.

The next moment, he remembered something again, and his face was uncertain.

Zhou Xuanlan felt uneasy.

He threw Shizun out of the bedroom, let Shizun sleep in the corridor for ten days, and he forced Shizun...

Zhou Xuanlan's Adam's apple rolled down: "Disciple, disciple knows it's wrong."

"Huh?" Shen Liuxiang was puzzled, and then suddenly realized, "It's okay! The corridor is not cold, and it's not too hard. If you sleep in the corridor in the future, don't worry about sleeping well!"

"...Okay," Zhou Xuanlan said, "Listen to Master."

Shen Liuxiang pursed his lips contentedly, and came out of his arms: "Then do you still remember the memory in Yuanshen?"

Zhou Xuanlan stared at him, his eyes became dark and deep: "Remember, I also know why I need to protect the master's primordial spirit, and why Nitian wants to bring the master back."

Shen Liuxiang was about to ask, when Zhou Xuanlan grabbed his wrist: "This matter is a long story, so Master will leave with me first."

Shen Liuxiang was stunned.

In the huge bedroom where Xu Xingchen lived, the lights were not turned on in the middle of the night, and the moonlight penetrated through the window and sprinkled on the floor, giving off a somewhat cold feeling.

The incense burner in the corner spewed out wisps of clear smoke in the silence, and the rich calming breath spread out and permeated the air, making ordinary people dizzy after smelling it.

But Xu Xingchen felt nothing.

He took off his dazzling hair crown and let his long hair hang loose. He sat alone on the floor and poured wine. After noticing the movement of the enchantment, he curled his lips and raised his head to drink the wine in one gulp.

Shen Liuxiang must have been frightened by him, so he should go...

Xing Lian and Xing Lian are leaving too.

We are all going.

Xu Xingchen thought silently, what is this? Aren't they a family? Why did they all leave and leave him alone in the cold imperial palace.

He is not as good as the emperor, and cannot bear such loneliness.

But there is no other way but to endure.

Before Xing Lian woke up, he survived alone for a long year. During the day, he was like wearing a mask in front of people. He performed perfectly in everything without showing any flaws. Only at night could he rest and guard Xing Lian. By her side, waiting for her to wake up.

He thought that everything would be fine when Xing Lian woke up, but what he expected did not come true.

Xing Lian is a younger sister, he can't show her his cowardly side, on the contrary, he should be her reliance, so that she can live a carefree life.

But Xu Xinglian's cultivation level is far from his. If he leaves after the Ascension Tribulation arrives, Xu Xinglian will be alone on this continent, surrounded by wolves, tigers and leopards.

So he asked Xu Xinglian to practice diligently, and let her improve her cultivation day and night.

But Xing Lian was not happy, and repeatedly asked her not to force her. After being ignored, he gradually alienated him. When he was caught having a private meeting with Lu Qingyun, there was fear of him in those eyes that he had seen since childhood. .

Xu Xingchen didn't understand why he was afraid of him.

He is obviously the person who loves Xu Xinglian the most in this world.

There is also Shen Liuxiang... This bad brother only cares about Zhou Xuanlan, and he has never been on his mind!

I don't care how much effort I spent looking for him!What a pleasure to see him again!As soon as Zhou Xuanlan came, he ran away with him, just like countless times in the past, like running away!

He is the same as Xu Xinglian, the most important person in his heart is not him.

He, Xu Xingchen, will always be the one left behind!

Xu Xingchen suddenly felt infinite resentment, picked up the empty wine jug and threw it in the air, but the expected crisp sound did not come, instead there was a cry of "Hey!"

Somewhat familiar.

Xu Xingchen was taken aback for a moment, then raised his head abruptly.

The young man in red was holding the jug, shaking his eyebrows slightly, with a playful smile on his handsome face, and asked, "Who are you losing your temper with?"

Xu Xingchen's eyes widened: "Why haven't you left yet?"

Shen Liuxiang sniffed the strong fragrance in the air, his consciousness would be confused after two smells, he first went to extinguish the incense, and then sat in front of Xu Xingchen, "What are you doing with such a heavy soothing incense, do you want to suffocate yourself?"

Xu Xingchen opened his mouth: "Otherwise I won't be able to sleep."

Shen Liuxiang was silent, raised his right hand and rubbed the top of his hair: "I don't need incense anymore."

Xu Xingchen turned his head awkwardly, not to let Shen Liuxiang touch it: "I don't need Anshenxiang, I can't sleep."

Shen Liuxiang looked at his messy hair and smiled: "It's okay, I can play the erhu for you to help you sleep."

Xu Xingchen: "..."

After a while, he came to his senses and opened his eyes wide: "Where are you playing the erhu, Emperor Palace? Aren't you leaving now?"

Shen Liuxiang blinked: "Emperor Xingchen won't let you go, I dare not."

Xu Xingchen was stunned for a moment, knowing that Shen Liuxiang was teasing him, his cheeks still couldn't help but get hot, and turned slightly red: "Don't lie, what about Zhou Xuanlan, isn't that bastard here, can he be willing not to take you away?"

Shen Liuxiang tightened his left wrist and coughed lightly: "I let him go."

Xu Xingchen looked at him suspiciously, with a look of disbelief that Zhou Xuanlan would let it go so easily, and he also couldn't believe that Shen Liuxiang just stayed.

Under his gaze, Shen Liuxiang raised the tip of his left eyebrow, "Okay, let's get down to business."

"Lu Qingyun? There's nothing to talk about." Xu Xingchen's tone was cold and hard, as if he was a ruthless and ruthless person.

Shen Liuxiang was surprised: "You have become smarter."

Xu Xingchen snorted, he has always been smart, how could he not guess what Shen Liuxiang was talking about, "Lu Qingyun is a small casual cultivator, and he also wants to take Xing Lian away, it's just a dream."

Shen Liuxiang: "So you act as a villain, step on him openly, and at the same time give him secret pointers, wanting him to improve his cultivation quickly."

When Xu Xingchen heard it, he was like a cat whose tail had been stepped on: "I didn't point him out! I just threw some powerful spells..."

Halfway through the conversation, Xu Xingchen came to his senses. Seeing Shen Liuxiang laughing wantonly, his face turned blue and red, he wished he could step forward and cover his mouth.

Shen Liu laughed enough, and continued: "You asked Lu Qingyun to leave Xing Lian, but he refused, so you almost beat him to death, and Xing Lian forced you to stop with death."

Xu Xingchen smiled cold-bloodedly: "Yes."

Shen Liuxiang touched his chin, pondered: "Actually, you want to try, how much Lu Qingyun likes Xing Lian, even if Xing Lian doesn't do this, and the other party would rather die than leave, you will stop."

Xu Xingchen was a little annoyed: "No."

Shen Liuxiang: "You have to retreat every six months, and Xing Lian always takes advantage of this time to sneak away to meet people in the realm of comprehension. It's your intention."

Xu Xingchen felt uncomfortable: "I didn't."

Shen Liuxiang: "When you think that Lu Qingyun has some strength and can take good care of Xing Lian, you will let Xing Lian leave the imperial palace, right?"

Xu Xingchen's mentality exploded completely: "Don't talk nonsense!"

After hearing the denials, Shen Liuxiang shook his head and said earnestly: "You should tell Xing Lian."

Xu Xingchen immediately said: "If I tell her, Lu Qingyun will know too."

That Lu Qingyuntian's capital is not high, so if you don't stimulate him, let him work hard, and when he ascends to leave, this person will not be able to protect Xing Lian.

And hatred and resentment, for a person, is the fastest way to grow - he has a deep understanding.

Shen Liuxiang blinked: "Yo, I admit it."

Xu Xingchen's face darkened, and after a while, he shrugged and shook off his sleeve robe, "You're still so annoying."

Shen Liu said: "You hate me?"

Xu Xingchen: "Yes! Got it!"

Shen Liuxiang tutted softly, tilted his head, as if lost in memory: "But I don't know who said that if no one likes me in the future and everyone will like Su Baiche, he will still insist on liking me."

Xu Xingchen blushed instantly, and went to hold Shen Liuxiang's left hand, but was quickly dodged, so he grabbed Shen Liuxiang's arm, pulled him up, and pushed him all the way to the door.

"I'm going to rest, don't bother me, go back to Xuan Yao Palace!"

Shen Liuxiang: "I said Emperor Xingchen forbids it, but I dare not."

Xu Xingchen: "Yes, yes, yes."

Shen Liuxiang laughed out loud, met Xu Xingchen's angry face, stretched out his hand suddenly, and rubbed the top of his hair: "Rest well, don't light up the soothing incense, come out and talk to me if you can't sleep, I will watch outside you."

Xu Xingchen's lips trembled: "I'm not a child, so I need someone to watch over me."

Shen Liuxiang: "But you are younger than me, I am an older brother."

Xu Xingchen tightened his fingertips slightly and closed the door.

Shen Liuxiang lowered his eyes, moved to the side, and sat down cross-legged.

A small black dragon popped out of the cuff in an instant, and half of a dragon horn was missing on its head, which was still not fully healed.

Xiaolong tilted his head and looked at him with his black eyes open.

Shen Liuxiang pursed his lips and smiled lowly: "You are... a little cute."

Zhou Xuanlan's face darkened, and he rewrapped Shen Liuxiang's left wrist sullenly, laying the blame on Xu Xingchen.
