snatch the fox

★In this world, besides you, there is plenty of places for me, Shen Linyan, to stand on! ★

……

"Brother treats you with more than just brotherhood...Respect, do you understand...do you understand?"

He understands.

How could he not understand?

Xie Linyuan's gentleness, Xie Linyuan's pampering, Xie Linyuan's strength... He has always cared about and watched everything about Xie Linyuan.

All his thoughts are worthless than a single word.

"elder brother……"

************************************************** *********************

Shen Linyan looked at Xie Linyuan who was sitting at the desk writing something, thought for a long time before hesitating: "Brother."

The corners of Xie Linyuan's mouth curled slightly, without raising his head: "Miss me?"

Shen Linyan blushed, and said angrily, "You're not serious all day long, aren't you?"

"Where are you thinking?" Xie Linyuan put down the brush, picked up the rice paper and blew on it, squinting his eyes and said in satisfaction, "You don't want me, why are you calling me?"

Shen Linyan paused: "I want to go to the devil world."

Xie Linyuan suddenly lost his expression, turned around and cast his pondering gaze on him, without speaking.

Shen Linyan felt anxious, so she had to turn her eyes away and said bravely: "It doesn't matter if you don't want to go, I can go by myself, if you want, you can wait for me here, if you don't want...you can leave whenever you want, I will I didn't intend to stop you."

Xie Linyuan looked at him for a long time before speaking:

"First, I have no objection to you going to the Devil Realm; second, I never thought about leaving; third, I'm angry because you didn't discuss it with me before you decided... What are you going to the Devil Realm for?"

Shen Linyan swallowed her saliva, faltering and saying: "Well... Lin Wanyue is injured, isn't she? I want to go and see, and the devil world... I haven't been there yet, I heard there are many..."

"Why didn't I know that you actually like this kind of taste?" Xie Linyuan suddenly lost interest in holding the painting, crumpled it into a ball of paper and threw it away. After a long time, he frowned, and finally put the pen back on the pen holder. After thinking for a long time, he raised his head and asked Shen Linyan, "There are many beauties in the devil world, huh?"

Shen Linyan was taken aback by this look, and said in a daze, "It's not...the devil world..."

"You go out." Xie Linyuan turned around and lightly gave the order to chase away the guests.

This is the first time Xie Linyuan has shown a cold face to him since he came back from the heaven.

Shen Linyan was silent, touched his nose, covered the door and went out.

************************************************** ************************

Originally, because of a bad mood, I went to work in front of the medicine garden in the yard, intending to pass the time, but I was fascinated by the herbs I planted myself, unconsciously, and fell into a state of turning a deaf ear to my surroundings.

Until a soft and childish voice broke into his world.

At that time, he was in the midst of weeding, Xie Linyuan, who stood behind him and watched him for a long time, just pursed his lips, determined to reach out to him...

"Daddy! Chaoyun has arrived before your appointed time..."

The little boy who looked like he was begging for a reward rushed into the courtyard all the way. He first saw Xie Linyuan, and just halfway through his excited words, he saw Shen Linyan, who was squatting in the medicine garden and was dressed in plain clothes. He pulled the reins abruptly , turned around and stopped the fierce horse neatly, staring at Shen Linyan all the time.

That appearance and momentum were exactly the same as Xie Linyuan's high spirits back then.

Holding the hoe, Shen Linyan stood up in a daze: "Chao... Yun?"

"I'm Xie Chaoyun." The little boy admitted generously, then raised his eyebrows, "Who are you?"

Xie Linyuan who was silent at the side suddenly opened his mouth and shouted: "Don't be rude!"

The little boy was not afraid of Xie Linyuan, he jumped off the horse nimbly, ran over and grabbed Xie Linyuan's arm and shook it for a while: "Father~ I haven't returned to Xie's mansion for so long, and Chaoyun doesn't even have to play with anyone who has made a move~ This time Daddy is in a hurry Recruit me, is there any new tricks to teach me?"

"What nonsense?" Xie Linyuan scolded, but he couldn't hide the tenderness in his eyes. He brought the little boy in front of Shen Linyan, and said solemnly, "Come and meet your father."

But the little boy got angry, threw away Xie Linyuan's hand, pointed at Shen Linyan's red eyes and shouted: "I don't have a father! It was my father who brought me up. I haven't had a father since I was a child, and I won't have one in the future!"

"Xie Chaoyun!" Xie Linyuan roared sullenly.

However, the little boy did not buy it, fearing that the world would not be chaotic, adding fuel and vinegar:

"When will dad marry my godmother back home? Second uncle and the others will take care of me with godmother when father is away. Godmother has always liked dad very much. Second uncle and the others are always looking for opportunities to match you two. This man came out again What's the mess?"

Shen Linyan's face turned pale, and he glanced at Xie Linyuan as if he hadn't reacted, then approached the little boy and squatted down:

"It doesn't matter if you don't like your father, but don't blame your father. Your father suffered a lot for you... If you like to take care of your godmother, if... If the Xie family thinks your godmother is more suitable for him, I won't force it."

After finishing speaking, Shen Linyan patted the top of the little boy's head, and looked deeply at it for a long time as if wanting to remember the little boy's appearance, then he stood up with some difficulty, and turned his back without looking at Xie Linyuan from the beginning to the end. When he turned around, he whispered to Xie Linyuan:

"I'm a man and your younger brother, so I can't justly stand by your side. If that woman is really suitable for you, and Chaoyun likes it... I can help you both."

Shen Linyan turned his head sideways, and gave Xie Linyuan a rather sad smile:

"I wish you happiness."

Xie Linyuan panicked and reached out to pull him, but Shen Linyan would let him succeed?In the blink of an eye, it turned into a ray of light and went straight to the sky, leaving behind a well-groomed medicinal garden full of well-growthed veins and leaves silently swaying with the wind, as if calling for the owner to come back.

"Respect!"

The little boy grabbed Xie Linyuan who was in a hurry to chase, pouted his mouth and said in displeasure: "This man left daddy alone, and made daddy seriously ill, why is daddy ignoring him? Let's go back to Xie's mansion..."

Suddenly, he slapped the little boy's handsome cheek, which instantly swelled up.

The little boy covered his face and stared at Xie Linyuan aggrievedly: "Father..."

Xie Linyuan's lips turned white, and his eyes seemed to burst into flames when he looked at the little boy: "What do you know? Did the second brother and sixth brother say something bad about Jingzhi in front of you again? Godmother...you have a godmother and I Why don't you know?"

The little boy pouted even higher: "Anyway, I just don't like him!"

"He is your father!"

"Do I really hope that he is my father? Have I begged him? You are the one who gave birth to me through all kinds of hardships, and he has no credit at all! What qualifications does he have..."

"Snapped!"

Xie Linyuan's hand that slapped the little boy's cheek again was trembling, and he didn't know whether it was pain or regret.

"Father... you can hit me, I admit it! But you hit me because of that heartless man, I don't accept it!" After finishing speaking, the little boy turned on the horse, snorted heavily as if angry, turned the horse's head and charged After leaving the yard, there was a lot of commotion.

Sooner or later, the already fragile fetters faced crisis again.

Xie Linyuan smiled wryly. It turned out that the relationship between him and Shen Linyan could not withstand half a test... He was not afraid of other people's instigation, he was not afraid of the eyes and shame of all beings, he was only afraid of Shen Linyan's inner wavering and rejection, even if it was just a little, maybe It will make his years of painstaking efforts fall short and destroy everything.

He couldn't grasp Shen Linyan's heart.

Even though he once had power over the government, he once dominated the world, he used all means to imprison Shen Linyan's freedom, cut off the strength and cultivation that Shen Linyan was proud of, and almost made Shen Linyan a powerless The reason for this useless person is that he is afraid that he will run away, that he will refuse, that Shen Linyan will laugh at him, that he will laugh at himself who has evil intentions towards his brother.

But he, Xie Linyuan, couldn't control himself. From the first moment he saw Shen Linyan, he fell into a trap and couldn't extricate himself.

For Shen Linyan, he even dared to do such absurd things as giving birth to a child. Xie Linyuan never thought that he could do this for Shen Linyan.

But even if he did this, Shen Linyan still left.

Shen Linyan likes children, well, he can have one.

Shen Linyan said that he envied him for having brothers and relatives, so he unlocked Shen Linyan's memory seal, letting Shen Linyan know that he was not alone, he had brothers, father and mother, even if Shen Linyan remembered it together, there was also the pain of the past with torture.

Shen Linyan said that he regretted that he wanted to see the child he gave birth to, okay, he did not hesitate to spend his cultivation to transform into a shikigami, and thousands of miles of sound transmission made his child come here to see him non-stop.

Even if Shen Linyan said he wanted to go to the devil world, he could...

But Shen Linyan still left without looking back.

Is he wrong?

He didn't know which step he had made a mistake, and he didn't know what to do so that Shen Linyan could see his intentions and let Shen Linyan stay with peace of mind.

Without any intention of using or calculating, it doesn't matter whether it is the child's close relatives, the respect between master and apprentice is like a guest, and even... it doesn't matter if there is only brotherly love.

As long as you can see him in sight as soon as you open your eyes, you can laugh and make trouble, talk to him when you are sad or happy, and talk to him when you are sad, and act like a baby, he can be satisfied.

Why is it so difficult to put such a humble wish on him, Xie Linyuan?

"Will you keep going until you die...Okay! Shen Linyan, I want to see who can persevere to the end!"

************************************************** **********************

Demon World·Madu Fusheng

"Stop!" A Mozu soldier stepped forward and looked him up and down, "Outsiders are not allowed to enter the city without invitation."

Shen Linyan took out something from his sleeve and flashed it in front of the demon soldier. The demon soldier's expression changed slightly, he respectfully moved out of the way, and even saluted him.

After Shen Linyan walked away, another good soldier B came over and asked the soldier A who had seen the things: "Didn't the superiors issue a strict order to martial law at the top of the city?" Put it in?"

Soldier A looked left and right, and lowered his voice: "The position of our city guard is temporarily taken care of by a certain adult, you know?"

"I know." The soldiers who came over nodded.

"The lord came back after recovering all his memories, and secretly issued an edict to the soldiers guarding the city everywhere. It was just an understatement that there might be noble people visiting in the near future. Bring that lord's jade pendant into the city..."

Soldier B rubbed his chin: "Could it be that he came to find that lord? The Demon Realm and the Heaven Realm have been fighting for so many years without stopping, and they want to fight again?"

"No, I think...the reason this person came here is definitely not for war."

Grand Presbyterian Mansion·Main Hall

Shen Linyan silently held the cup of tea, sipping it in small sips, feeling mixed feelings in her heart.

Not long after, a figure walked in quickly, but after seeing him, he stopped there.

This is the first time they met after the memory was unsealed.

Shen Linyan put down the teacup, got up slowly, looked at him and smiled: "Yuan Zheng?"

Pei Yuanzheng opened his mouth, but couldn't help but feel complicated inside, and finally sighed:

"Respect."

Shen Linyan was silent, the joy of seeing each other quickly faded away, but Pei Yuanzheng didn't seem to be able to calm down, he took a few steps to the chair beside him and sat down, held his hand, and said softly: "How have you been these years?" ? I was... sorry."

Shen Linyan twitched her hand indiscriminately, still smiling: "The two of us have incomplete memories before, no wonder who isn't?"

Pei Yuanzheng stared at his own missing hand, and was stunned: "Jingzhi?"

"I have always liked Xie Linyuan."

The blood on Pei Yuanzheng's lips faded away, he grabbed the armrest as if he couldn't accept it, and turned his face away forbearance: "Then why do you still bring the jade pendant to the Demon Realm?"

"I'm here, just to return your jade pendant and settle some things that should be broken."

"you……"

"Pei Yuanzheng, I'm leaving."

"Respect? Xie Linyuan treats you badly?"

Shen Linyan paused for a moment, then changed the subject: "I'm passing by here and I plan to take a look. Why are you talking about these incidents?"

"He didn't treat you well, so what if you just stay here? The queen mother is recovering well, and she has been arguing to find you every day since she knew you were alive." Pei Yuanzheng persuaded him enthusiastically, "Jingzhi, can you stay here?"

"...Alright."
