★Two hearts, the farther apart the more they miss each other, even though they are not dead, they are painful. ★

……

"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, he grabbed the armrest as if he couldn't accept it, and turned his face away forbearance: "Then why did you 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."

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

"Respect, can I give you a different taste today?" Pei Yuanzheng sat beside him and poured him a glass of wine, looking at the charming dancers in the field, especially the lead dancer in front of him. It will be crispy and soft.

Shen Linyan sat there as motionless as a mountain, silently sipping the sake in his glass, absent-minded.

"Respect?" Pei Yuanzheng didn't get a response, and looked sideways at Shen Linyan. This look made him dazed for a long time.

I don't know how long it took, Shen Linyan came back to his senses in a daze, and inadvertently saw Pei Yuanzheng's gaze, so he could only clear his throat in embarrassment: "What's the matter?"

Pei Yuanzheng shook his head, and suddenly took his hand: "The guy who doesn't know how to cherish Jingzhi should not be able to keep you, so you should give me a chance? When my memory was confused, I mistook Xie Wanping for you. I know I Missed a lot, but…”

Shen Linyan frowned slightly, but Pei Yuanzheng's hand holding him was surprisingly strong, so he could only sigh:

"Don't mention the past, okay?"

During the days when he came to the Demon Realm, his mind was full of that "godmother" that Chao Yun said.

Does Xie Linyuan really have such a confidante?Or a childhood sweetheart?

What kind of person is that?

Will he treat Xie Linyuan well?Could it be because Chaoyun is not his own...

No, he shouldn't be thinking about it now, should he?

That was Xie Linyuan's life, he should quit.

They are not people from the same world, they were in the past, they are now, and they will be in the future.

He told himself so.

Otherwise, he will regret it, feel unwilling, and maybe he will do something that is beyond the law of nature, and he will not be able to forgive himself.

Just like Xie Linyuan, his eldest brother who mistakenly thought that friendship and family affection were love.

He is a victim, he hated Xie Linyuan all his life, this is the best proof.

It proves that being impulsive and hot-headed is not a good thing.

Therefore, he must be self-disciplined and reject anything related to emotion, even... the warmth he once longed for.

"...Respect?"

With a clear vision, he turned his head to follow the prestige, and saw Pei Yuanzheng pointing towards his knee.

He froze for a moment, and obviously felt that there was a flexible and powerful person sitting on his knees. The posture made Shen Linyan frown.

Just as Shen Linyan was about to say something, someone ahead suddenly came in to report.

Pei Yuanzheng raised his eyebrows slightly, as if he had expected this, and motioned for the man to speak.

The visitor knelt down on one knee, respectfully handed over a big red and gold-stamped greeting card, and said in a loud voice: "To the Elder, Xie Linyuan from the Xie Mansion in Rongcheng is here for a visit."

Pei Yuanzheng nodded: "What about others?"

"It's still outside the gate of the mansion."

"I'm rude!" Pei Yuanzheng reprimanded, and waved his wide sleeves, "Why don't you come into the hall soon? Clean up the east wing, maybe the other people's house will stay here~" After finishing speaking, he looked at him intentionally or unintentionally. Shen Linyan took a look.

Shen Linyan was slightly startled, seeing that the servant who reported the report had to be ordered to go out, she subconsciously pushed the dancing girl sitting on her lap away.

Pei Yuanzheng stretched out his hand to press the back of his hand, and said calmly: "What's the hurry, now that you have separated yourself from him, what are you afraid of him doing?"

Shen Linyan thought about it, then gave up.

When Xie Linyuan really stood in front of him and entered his sight, he knew that he couldn't calm down anymore.

However, he had to be patient, and he had to deliberately suppress this longing in his heart.

What he didn't expect was that Chaoyun also came, reluctantly following behind Xie Linyuan, still with an arrogant and conceited look on his face.

After exchanging pleasantries, Xie Linyuan and Pei Yuanzheng came together. It is not difficult to see that the two are old slickers who have been on the scene for a long time. Naturally, Shen Linyan is no match for these veteran thieves, so he can only sit silently beside Pei Yuanzheng, drinking wine by himself , don't care about anything.

Well, except for the dancer on the lap who is also deaf to the surroundings and only pours wine for him in her eyes and heart.

And the line of sight that fell on this side intentionally or unintentionally.

A chilling sight.

Shen Linyan couldn't help muttering in his heart: You, Xie Linyuan, already have Chaoyun's "godmother", why shouldn't he be allowed to come out to find some flowers and plants?Although he has no intention of regaining his son Xiaoyan's job, but...it is him who has separated the relationship, so is it possible that he still has to take his feelings into consideration?

Thinking of this, Shen Linyan suddenly became enlightened, let his guard down, and let the dancer stick close to him to pour wine and toast himself.

"boom!"

The wine glass in Xie Linyuan's hand shattered, and the wine mixed with the blood of the wound dripped out from between his fingers, it was very scary to watch.

But what is more frightening than this is Xie Linyuan's eyes.

Sitting on the right side of Xie Linyuan, Chao Yun shook his Erlang leg on his lap, and said in a foolish way to make the young master lose his temper:

"The Great Elder's mansion looks very grand, the salary must be quite a lot, how come the cups for hospitality can be broken after a sip of wine, could it be that he looks down on the Xie family of our Yu clan?"

Shen Linyan suddenly said: "The Great Elder's Mansion never treats guests harshly. Why didn't this little brother ask Mr. Xie, how did the cups in our Elder's Mansion break? Did the two of you ever have the courtesy that guests should have? ?”

Chao Yunteng stood up suddenly: "Etiquette? We two have never been rude, you talk about it, but you can't say it, you lose the face of the elders of the demon world!"

Shen Linyan lowered her eyes and smiled, hooked Wu Ji's neck and pressed it to her shoulder:

"As soon as Mr. Xie entered this hall, his eyes were fixed on Shen, but what courtesy should a guest have?"

Xie Linyuan, who was silent for a long time, put down the teacup in his hand, and said: "It turns out that you came to the Demon Realm because of him." His eyes could not help but glance at Pei Yuanzheng, "Pei Yuanzheng, should I praise you for being lucky?"

Pei Yuanzheng smiled, raised his glass to salute him, raised his head and drank it all, and then said boldly: "Where is it~ Without Brother Xie Xian's generosity, how could he have the blessing of being a brother?"

The contest between ice and fire is invisible between you and me.

Zhao Yun had a great time watching, but Shen Linyan seemed tired of these tricks, and after hastily bid farewell to Pei Yuanzheng, he was helped out by the dancer girl.

He was so hangover that he couldn't even see the road clearly, Shen Linyan couldn't help but smile wryly, is he really drunk?

He obviously had a good drinker before.

"Hey!"

A figure dangled in front of his eyes, why did he look like Chaoyun?

"Young master." The dancer said softly.

"Give him to me. I know where his house is, so you don't need to wait on him." Chaoyun said forcefully, and he immediately robbed him.

Wu Ji hid left and right for a few times, but she couldn't fight Chaoyun, so she hurried back to the hall to find Pei Yuanzheng.

He lost his support, and fell limply on the ground, and Chaoyun didn't come up to support him.

He didn't have the strength to raise his head, only to see the brocade boots in front of him move, and Chaoyun knelt down and looked at him: "You said you are too worried, since you don't want to part with my father, but you make a fuss over a trivial matter I want to leave, my father is also stubborn, usually such a shrewd person, I can see the sour taste of your anger when you say to leave, he actually believed you..."

He was so drunk that he couldn't utter a word after fighting with his tongue for a long time, so he shook his head and muttered:

"He...has your 'godmother'...some people...fighting to be his favorite...his wife and concubine..."

"What's the use of other people liking him?" Chao Yun pursed his mouth, "I have a lot of 'mothers' who treat me well, but what's the use if Dad doesn't like him? Put a knife on Dad's neck and force Dad Marrying someone, father is not even willing to look at him."

"You... don't talk about it..." Shen Linyan could hardly open the whites of his eyes, and shouted with his tongue out, "You like your 'godmother'... He is not me after all, I don't care if I like men or women It doesn't even matter... Maybe he likes women, and he misunderstood this kind of brotherhood to..."

"Yo~ It's your turn to teach me a lesson?" Xie Chaoyun grabbed Shen Linyan's lapel, narrowed his eyes and said dangerously, "When those people who don't have long eyes meet daddy, daddy has already removed that person's arm, and he is in a bad mood When it’s good, there are people who are killed directly, why don’t you think about how I got here?”

"You?" Shen Linyan stared at Xie Chaoyun's head in a daze, flicking his head, "What...how did you come here...so sleepy..."

Xie Chaoyun stabilized his chin and forced him to meet his gaze: "Father is willing to get close to you, let you get close, and even commit himself to you... How has Dad ever been so humble? And all of this is just for the sake of you." You, he is willing to do this, just because that person is you!"

Xie Chaoyun pushed him away, let him fall to the ground with his head on his back, stood up and looked at Shen Linyan condescendingly:

"My father is an upright man. He has made so many sacrifices and concessions for you, and you are so ungrateful? What qualifications do you have to be my father? So, before you do what a father should do, I, Xie Chaoyun , will not admit you!"

Shen Linyan didn't know how to suppress the coldness and pain in his heart at this moment, so he could only cover his mouth and cough, panting:

"I'm tired...a person like your father is too outstanding and dazzling. Since you feel that standing next to him like this will spoil his light and ruin his future, I can go...I have promised You gave up, Chaoyun, I have nothing left, what else do you want me to do? I am so humble...I can't get your peace of mind...I have no intention of pestering him..."

After Shen Linyan finished speaking, he was like a fish out of water, grunting and breathing hard, and his lips turned purple.

Xie Chaoyun didn't notice this, and still sneered:

"Who wants you to promise this? If you want to break it, you have to break it completely. What's the use of being so connected? Isn't it painful for both of you? Otherwise, you shouldn't play this game at all, and just stay by Dad's side honestly." Okay? You can come here as much as dad likes~ As long as you please dad, won't the glory and wealth be at your fingertips?"

"Shut up!" Shen Linyan roared with his last breath, his eyes were red, "He is your father, not a tool for you to show off! No matter how bad I am, I can't tolerate your slander..."

Shen Linyan took a deep breath, and continued in a cold voice:

"Prosperity and wealth? Heh! If I really wanted your father's glory and wealth, would I still run to this devil world alone? If I really want the power and wealth, the Emperor of Heaven won't be able to sit firmly in that position."

Xie Chaoyun was startled, and looked at him in disbelief: "You..."

"I'm tired." After Shen Linyan finished speaking, she propped herself up staggeringly, found a direction in a daze, and staggered away.

Suddenly, Shen Linyan staggered, shouted "Wow", and leaned towards the lake in front of him.

Xie Chaoyun was shocked. When he rushed over, the lake had already turned blood red, and the servants who kept coming and going were shocked when they saw it.

Xie Chaoyun didn't say a word, before he could change his clothes, he plunged into the bottom of the lake, endured the discomfort caused by the cold lake water all over his body, and paddled around anxiously looking for someone.

Finally, Xie Chaoyun found the dying Shen Linyan in the entanglement of a mass of water plants.

At that time, Shen Linyan closed his eyes tightly, his lips were terribly purple, and Xie Chaoyun's hands were shaking as he pulled out the small dagger hidden in his boots to cut the water plants.

He was afraid, he was afraid that Shen Linyan would just disappear.

Although he refused to admit that Shen Linyan was his biological father, he was still afraid.

If this man died here, if this man didn't even see his father for the last time, if...he caused this man to fall into such a situation... Xie Chaoyun thought bitterly, how could he forgive himself?

While thinking this way, the movements in his hands became more agile.

Finally, all the aquatic plants were cut off, Chaoyun hooked Shen Linyan's neck, and swam towards the surface of the water.

As he swam, Chaoyun felt that the fluctuations in the water were a little different.

Can't help but look back, Shen Linyan who was originally hooked in his arms, about below the waist, has turned into a long tail with scales!

Chaoyun was frightened by this, and his hand inevitably loosened. Fortunately, he reacted quickly, and immediately grabbed a handful and pulled him back.

As soon as he got out of the lake, a pair of powerful hands helped Chaoyun, who was already out of breath, to the shore, and Shen Linyan, who was hooked by Chaoyun's arms, was also dragged out.

This is the first time Chaoyun has seen Xie Linyuan in such a panic and at a loss. Xie Linyuan, who is holding the alienated Shen Linyan and keeps calling, is like a child who made a mistake and was abandoned by everyone, shouting helplessly. From time to time, he lowered his head and gently shook the unconscious Shen Linyan.

Perhaps, he made a mistake in the first place, Zhao Yun regretted it.

Chao Yun didn't care about the wet clothes on his body, and silently stepped forward and tugged the sleeves of Xie Linyuan who seemed crazy: "Father."

Xie Linyuan stopped, turned around and just glanced at Chaoyun.

Because of this look, Chao Yun let go of Xie Linyuan's sleeve in a daze, not daring to touch him again.

Xie Linyuan was angry.

When Xie Linyuan gets angry, he usually sees blood.

However, this time, Xie Linyuan did not kill anyone.

Afterwards, Shen Linyan found out about this, and couldn't help but ran to ask Xie Linyuan.

Xie Linyuan just glanced at Shen Linyan lightly, and said indifferently after a long time:

"I want to accumulate virtue."

"For you, Shen Linyan, to accumulate virtue."

"May the Lord Buddha stay with you for a few more days...to accompany me."

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

Respect—————————

He woke up suddenly, staring blankly at the pattern of the curtain above his head, his heart pounding.

Xie Linyuan?

He wanted to rub his sore forehead, but with a slight movement, the person who was holding his hand woke up, raised his head and eyes, and subconsciously shouted "Jing Zhi" everywhere in a hoarse voice.

A hand suddenly stretched out from the side, and pushed the person in front of the couch away: "Who allowed you to touch him?!"
