the enemy is always on the verge

As the eldest disciple of Lingyun Mountain, Cheng Jing's residence is very spacious, but there are few things.Except for a bed and a table, there was only the pot of withered flowers on the windowsill.

Yun Rong helped Cheng Jing make the bed, and then said, "Brother, rest early! I'll just stay outside the door today."

Cheng Jing frowned and looked very unhappy, Yun Rong also understood, but he didn't understand why Cheng Jing was so obsessed with a stranger who only met once, it's very strange, isn't it?

Yun Rong couldn't bear to see him get angry by himself, so he comforted him in a slow voice, "Senior Brother doesn't sleep well, I'm afraid that falling asleep with Senior Brother will disturb Senior Brother's clear dreams, the day after tomorrow is the ranking competition, Senior Brother should recharge his energy yes."

"They deserve it too?" Cheng Jing snorted coldly.

Chengjing's influence is clear to Yunrong. Although the Excalibur Sect has a few disciples whose cultivation base is higher than his, Yunrong always believes that if they really fight hard, they may not be Chengjing's opponents.

Yun Rong is a bit embarrassed, actually it is a rare blessing to be able to sleep on the same bed with Cheng Jing, but it is impossible to sleep with a mask on, right?The unhealed scars on his body could still use vanilla to cover up the smell of blood, but the scars on his face were rather terrifying, and he really didn't want Chengjing to see himself like this.

"Even so, we are going down the mountain after the ranking battle. The road ahead is long and the boats and cars are tiring. Senior brother should take this time to relax. Junior brother will leave first." Yun Rong hurriedly said goodbye, turned around and was about to leave. In the end, Cheng Jing grabbed his wrist.

"You stay." Cheng Jing's words were more like an order, and Yun Rong felt uneasy when he met his deep eyes.

"No, it's not good." He panicked.

Chengjing stared into his eyes coldly, "Why is it not good? Do you have any secrets that need to be avoided? Am I not good enough for you, enough for you to trust me?"

Yun Rong lowered her head, "Senior brother treats me very well, even if he is not sincere to me, I still trust him."

Chengjing grabbed his wrist and tightened again, "Then why are you avoiding me?"

"because……"

Yunrong and Chengjing have never looked at each other so closely, his heartbeat is a little out of control, Chengjing's eyes are filled with probing and never-ending persistence, unlike the usual irritable look who is not interested in anything Very different.It's hard not to let Yun Rong have an illusion - he is the only exception.

Yun Rong felt relieved, he had no regrets when he cut himself with the knife, so why should he back down now.What's more, if there were no scars covering his appearance, he and Cheng Jing might not have had the chance to get along like this.

"Because my junior brother has an ugly face, I really don't want to..."

"Let me see." Cheng Jing immediately interrupted him.

There was a sudden roar in Yun Rong's mind, and Cheng Jing took off the veil before she even had time to resist.The skin that hadn't seen the wind for a long time was suddenly exposed to the air, and every scar on his face was filled with the chilly night air. Yunrong felt that he must be extremely ugly now, the scabs on his wounds had not fallen off, and they were printed on his fair skin Very obvious.

Yun Rong closed his eyes, he was afraid of seeing pity in Cheng Jing's eyes, but he could feel the other's gaze lingering on his face for a long time, tracing his skin inch by inch.

Cheng Jing had seen Yun Rong's appearance in his previous life. Although this face was not pleasing to the eye, it was the most difficult reassurance for him, "I like the way you are now."

Yunrong suddenly opened his eyes, but Chengjing immediately pulled him into his arms and put him on the bed, "Sleep quickly! I'm tired!"

Yunrong was held in Chengjing's arms, tightly clenched her cuffs.He has always known that Chengjing is not a person who judges people by appearance, but he never imagined that he could get such blessing from heaven when he was down and down.When he was a lord, what he asked for but couldn't get, was handed over to him after he became a mortal, as if God was playing tricks on him.

Yunrong showed a wry smile, and slowly closed her eyes.The injuries on his body have not yet fully recovered, and he was always worried about his identity being revealed before, so he couldn't sleep well, but now nestled in Chengjing's arms, he only felt extremely at ease, and soon fell asleep.

Cheng Jing also fell asleep soon, but he didn't follow his will after all. A sea of ​​fire appeared in his dream, and he stood in the middle of the fire circle, surrounded by endless darkness.Suddenly the sea of ​​fire in front of him turned into a human form, his body was wrapped in flames, and that face was Yun Rong.

Cheng Jing's eyes turned red immediately, and he drew his sword. He had already realized that something was wrong.This is not a dream, a dream is something given to mortals by the Emperor of Heaven, and a practitioner like him would not dream, so this is a demon, a demon of the heart.

But he couldn't control his behavior at all. This person killed the only person in the world who loved him and cared about him, and even devoured the golden core. The taste of death.

But when he stabbed with his sword, Yun Rong disappeared, together with the sea of ​​fire around him, leaving only the darkness that gathered suddenly.

"Yun Rong! Get out!" He gritted his teeth and cursed.

No one answered him, Chengjing was full of anger and had nowhere to vent, he slashed his sword at his left leg, and the moment the blood flowed out, he disappeared in the darkness.

"Come out! I hate you! I hate you!"

In the darkness, a hollow voice came from all directions, "Why do you hate?"

Chengjing was furious, "He killed what I love, isn't that enough for me to hate?"

The voice seemed to be unable to hear his reply, but kept repeating, "Why do you hate? Why do you hate?"

Chengjing was driven almost insane by him, he covered his buzzing head and passed out.

Three days later, there will be the ranking battle held by the Excalibur School every three years. The ranking battle itself is just an exam used by the suzerain to test the level of the disciples. Because the order of selecting prizes will be determined according to the ranking, it is called a ranking battle.

The prizes for the ranking battle are not very rich, and they are far from the nine-door sect trial once in a century, but they are all necessities for cultivation such as spirit stones, pills, and spells. Of course, there will also be some gadgets, such as Low-grade instruments for body protection, storage rings for storing items, and spells carved by the sword intent of the three elders are all miscellaneous and too numerous to list.

These things are not so rare, but after all, they are necessities provided for free, and they can be ranked in order, so many disciples participated.Cheng Jing has not been interested in this ranking competition for a long time, he does not need those prizes, and the frequency of the three-year competition is really annoying enough, so he would not participate in previous years, but this year he specially signed up.

There are still those from the major immortal sects who have not yet left to watch the ranking battle. They can not only learn about the power of the disciples of the Divine Sword Sect, prepare for the future trials of the nine sects, but also open the eyes of the disciples. There are many more people watching the game than in previous years.

The two of them saw Meng You standing at the gate of the Zhanwu Hall from a distance after receiving the sign. He was wearing a long robe with a white background and black silk, with the top-quality sapphire sword of the sect hanging on his waist, and he greeted fellow Taoists one by one. , with a warm smile but not humble, just like a humble gentleman.

Yun Rong obviously felt that Cheng Jing's air pressure had dropped, and Meng You also saw them, said something to the disciples who were talking, and turned to walk towards them.

Cheng Jing was unhappy and left immediately, but Meng You immediately caught up and blocked their way.

"Senior Brother!" Meng You nodded to Yunrong again, "Thank you, Junior Brother."

Now Yunrong couldn't pretend not to see it any more, and saluted him, "Brother Meng."

As soon as he opened his mouth, Meng You was stunned for a moment, and unconsciously looked at Yun Rong twice more.There are more than [-] disciples of Jianzong, Meng You naturally has no influence on him, but this person's voice is so gentle and pleasant, but it makes him feel very much like the person he has been thinking about.

Seeing him staring at his people, Chengjing asked coldly, "What's the matter?"

Only then did Meng You come back to his senses, "I just want to discuss something with senior brother, can I take a moment to talk?"

Cheng Jing frowned, and Yun Rong said understandingly, "Brother, I'll wait for you at the door first."

Yun Rong left, and Cheng Jing couldn't say anything, so Meng You took him to the back of the rockery in the distance. Seeing that there was no one around, Meng You set up another restraint, and then said, "Elder brother, I'm telling you the truth. The younger brother is actually asking for something."

Meng You suddenly knelt down in front of him and begged, "Junior brother wants to beg senior brother to go down the mountain this time, snatch Lord Yun's body from Shi Tianying's hands and cremate it on the same day, so as to comfort Lord Yun's spirit in the sky, don't bring it back again. Divine Sword Sect, let everyone insult you."

What he said was so sad that he seemed to have no way to go, so he came to beg Chengjing as a last resort, "Although my father has always been strict with me, my junior has saved some savings over the years. Rest in peace as soon as possible, junior brother is willing to offer a hundred top-grade spirit stones to help senior brother advance!"

Although the Divine Sword Sect is a big sect, top-grade spirit stones are really rare in the cultivation world. The 100 yuan spirit stones are probably all of Meng You's possessions.

Seeing Meng You's sincere expression, Cheng Jing was furious, and thinking of the thing that made him break in his previous life, he slapped Meng You's face with a slap.

Meng You didn't say a word when he was beaten, his face was red and swollen, and he still knelt straight, "It's fine for senior brother to beat me, but junior brother's action is already disobedient to my father, but junior brother really can't bear to see Master Yun's body being trampled upon before it's cold! Master Yun Although he is a demon cultivator, he has almost never done anything to disturb my Excalibur sect. On the contrary, since I can remember, several major sects have repeatedly provoked the demon sect. Junior brother once had a relationship with Master Yun, and I I believe that Venerable Master Yun must not be such a cruel and vicious person as my father said! I also hope that my senior brother will learn from me, so that Venerable Yun can die in peace!"

Cheng Jing couldn't listen to other people's arguments for Yun Rong, and said angrily, "Yun Rong is vicious and vicious, you have harassed Jianzong several times before you were born, the way of demon cultivation is cruel and innocent, and the cultivation world dies under the hands of demon cultivators every year How many monks are there? You begged me on your knees just because of your own personal feelings, and you didn't even think about whether those treacherous people were worth your hundred spirit stones!"

Although Meng You thought that Cheng Jing would object, he never thought that he would be so furious. He couldn't help asking, "Senior Brother has always been indifferent to the matter of Master Yun, why is he so angry today? What did Master Yun do... ..."

These words reminded Chengjing of his dead lover again. He grabbed Meng You by the collar and said viciously, "Yes, I have a bitter hatred with him, and I wish I could tear him apart. If he is alive, even if he dies, he will not even think about dying peacefully!"

As soon as these words came out, Cheng Jing felt dizzy for a while, and the familiar throbbing pain in his chest struck again, Cheng Jing slammed his chest hard, dispelling the demons that had started acting like demons again.
