"Have you fallen asleep?" Lu Yunshu looked at Mu Wu who was guarding Xiao Lan's door.

"Yes." Mu Wu replied with his head bowed.

"Why is it so early today, that's all." Lu Yunshu was still holding the hot Chinese medicine, so he wanted to go in and let Xiao Lan drink it before going to sleep.But before he reached the door, Lu Yunshu was stopped by Muwu. Lu Yunshu couldn't help frowning, "What's wrong? Chu Ya asked you to stop me?"

Mu Wu was silent.

"If you don't let me in, I can only call Chu Ya out." Lu Yunshu didn't know what was going on.

At this time, the wooden door slowly opened to the outside.

The wooden door was opened with internal force, calm and silent, and the person with such strong internal force is naturally not Chu Ya.

Lu Yunshu couldn't help staring at the black figure standing beside the bed with wide eyes.

The man was wearing a black robe inlaid with dark gold, his aura was natural, his long black hair was tied up by a jade crown, and there was an inexplicable sense of oppression from that jet-black back.Looking through the gap in the door, one can see the extremely handsome side face. The dim silhouette in the room reflects the person's more mysterious and profound appearance, as if he is looking at the person lying on the bed intently.

But this person was Chen Ling!

Lu Yunshu was shocked and rushed in, fearing that Chen Ling was here to kill Chu Ya.

Chen Ling turned his head and frowned at the creaking wooden door, seemingly displeased.

"Chu..." Lu Yunshu just opened his mouth to say a word, but Chen Ling tapped his dumb point and was unable to speak, so he could only stare at Chen Ling with his mouth open.

Chen Ling ignored Lu Yunshu, turned his head to look at Xiao Lan who seemed to have woken up, and couldn't help frowning.

Lu Yunshu looked at Chen Ling, and then at Mu Wu who silently closed the door behind him, and suddenly seemed to know something.

This is by no means the first time Chen Ling has come to see Chu Ya!

Lu Yunshu knew that Mu Wu was one of Chu Ya's hidden guards, and there was another shadowy guard protecting Chu Ya in the dark, so Lu Yunshu naturally knew it too.These two hidden guards will definitely not betray Chu Ya, but at this time the two hidden guards actually let Chen Ling in, and even helped Chen Ling guard the gate. I don't know what method Chen Ling used, but they can What was certain was that they must have known Chen Ling.

Chu Ya thought that Chen Ling hadn't seen him for four years, but he didn't know that Chen Ling would secretly come to his room in the middle of the night when no one was around.

I don't know when in the past four years, Chen Ling started to visit Chu Ya without anyone noticing.

At this time, Lu Yunshu didn't feel afraid. If Chen Ling wanted to harm Chu Ya, Chu Ya would have passed away long ago.

But why did Chen Ling come to see Chu Ya?

"Yun Shu, are you here?" Xiao Lan woke up in a daze, and when he heard the door being pushed, he thought that Lu Yunshu had come to deliver medicine.

At this time, Chen Ling released Lu Yunshu's dumb acupoint, and then did not leave. Instead, he just quietly walked to a corner where Xiao Lan could not see even if he got up, and sat down.Chen Ling looked haughty, and casually took the teapot and poured tea into a white porcelain cup. The inner strength that could be freely retracted made the sound of falling water silent at this moment.

"Why don't you speak?" Xiao Lan finally opened his eyes dizzily, squinting at Lu Yunshu who was standing motionless by the side.

Lu Yunshu looked at the posture of Chen Ling drinking tea proudly, and was annoyed for a moment, but he didn't know whether he wanted to let Chu Ya know.

Finally, after hesitating for a moment, he chose to remain silent for the time being, walked towards Xiao Lan who was on the bed, and handed out the medicine in his hand.

"Drink this."

Xiao Lan took the bowl of traditional Chinese medicine with a normal expression.

Lu Yunshu looked at the pale complexion, even the colorless lips, the frail and sickly Xiao Lan, finally made up his mind.

"Do you still remember that four years ago I asked you why you had such an ordinary face when you went out to find flowers and ask Liu?"

Xiao Lan just took a sip of the medicine and couldn't help but stop, he raised his eyes to look at Lu Yunshu, wondering why he suddenly opened his mouth to talk about this matter.

Chen Ling also paused when he put down the white porcelain cup.

"At that time, when you went out with Yi Rong every night, you were going to see Chen Ling?"

"Chen Ling's martial arts were taught by you yourself?"

"So what?" Xiao Lan frowned, looking at Lu Yunshu in confusion.

This is already a four-year old story, so what's the point of bringing it up again today.

"So what?" Lu Yunshu couldn't help laughing softly, he raised his eyebrows and repeated Xiao Lan's words mockingly.

Chen Ling, who was sitting by the side, lowered his eyes, his fingers gently stroking the white porcelain cup, his eyes were dark and dark.

"I do remember. Four years ago in the hall, you mentioned that you wanted to change Chen Ling to a clean and bright yard. At that time, everyone thought you wanted to attack Chen Ling, but they didn't expect you to be sincere." Lu Yunshu He looked at Xiao Lan with a look of sudden realization.

"Everyone said, Master Chu, you love Su Que very much, and you dislike Chen Ling very much. But after Su Que poisoned Chen Ling, you killed Su Que with a sword without hesitation, but sacrificed your life to save Chen Ling. Can't people with discerning eyes see who it is that you really want to protect?"

Chen Ling's behavior of stroking the wall of the cup suddenly stopped.

Xiao Lan took a sip of the medicine, and the extremely astringent taste immediately spread to his taste buds and filled his mouth.

"Even if I don't like Chen Ling, he is still my younger brother. Su Que has ulterior motives and vicious intentions. He can poison Chen Ling, and he can harm me in the future. In the end, he is just a villain, and I can pamper him. Of course I can kill him." Xiao Lan's expression was slightly cold, and he said lightly, "Besides, Chu Xuntian asked me to save Chen Ling that day, how dare I refuse to obey my father's order, it would be too much to say that I sacrificed my life."

"It doesn't matter what you say to bluff others, do you think I will believe it?" Lu Yunshu's eyes were a bit sullen, he regarded Xiao Lan as a bosom friend and naturally felt that Xiao Lan was extremely wronged.He felt sorry for Xiao Lan, and was even angrier that Xiao Lan kept silent about this matter.Lu Yunshu's eyes seemed to see through Xiao Lan, trying to dig out all the thoughts that Xiao Lan had hidden for so many years at this moment.

"I still remember the night when I knew that your martial arts were badly injured and Neihai was destroyed because of your insanity. You punished Su Que 34 lashes for no reason. I only thought that Su Que did something to displease you. Now that I think about it , I'm afraid you are also venting your anger for Chen Ling."

"On the eve of the Mid-Autumn Festival, you suddenly invited me to make mooncakes. On that day, everyone in the East Kitchen was cleared. You said not to make too many, just make four mooncakes for freshness. Who knows that you are not satisfied with the finished product. I stayed with you in that East Kitchen For several hours, you made nearly a hundred at least. In the end, you picked the four most beautiful ones and put them in boxes, and you left early after the dinner started, but you gave the mooncakes to Chen Ling?"

"And do you really think I don't know? How many miraculous medicines to increase internal strength have been given to you after I learned that you were injured in the inner sea. Do you think you have never taken them if I can't diagnose your pulse? If you didn't hide your dissatisfaction on purpose , just give Chen Ling all the medicine I gave you."

Lu Yunshu's words, as if pressing questions step by step, revealed Xiao Lan's dust-covered thoughts little by little.

Chen Ling seemed to be stunned, he suddenly raised his eyes to look, and could only see Xiao Lan's slender and slender hands and a corner of his sleeve robe holding the medicinal soup.

Xiao Lan's hands trembled, and he looked away from Lu Yunshu with a guilty conscience.

"Even without Su Que, you should have been prepared to give the master of the Qingcheng Gate to Chen Ling."

"Of course not." Xiao Lan naturally denied it at this time.

"No?" Lu Yunshu snorted coldly, "In the first year you passed on the throne, there were many people who supported you looking for you, but you didn't see them behind closed doors. Even now, this Chen Ling is still only the deputy sect master, and you are still This Qingcheng Gate is the master. But you just shrank in this secluded corner and didn’t care about world affairs, don’t you just give up the position of master of this sect?”

"It's not that you don't know that I'm not Chu Xuntian's parent and child, and the position of sect master should belong to Chen Ling." Xiao Lan replied with a frown.

"Old Sect Master Chu is not such a pedantic person. Since he can pass on the position of Sect Master to you, why would he care about this. What's more, Old Sect Master Chu has been guilty of you for these years. That person is an idiot. If you let go Tell him a few words, and he will definitely ask Chen Ling to stop and give you the Qingcheng Gate." Even if Lu Yunshu said this today, he didn't mean to listen to Xiao Lan, he had already figured out Xiao Lan's thoughts, At this moment, these sentences were just for Chen Ling who was sitting on the side.

"I'm just a useless person now, and I don't need to mention my illness. If I am in the position, how can I convince everyone? Besides, everyone now regards Chen Ling as the master of the Qingcheng Gate. Whether it is martial arts or strategy, Chen Ling is better than he was back then. I'm better than the sect master, so why should I make trouble for myself." Xiao Lan didn't know that Chen Ling was here, but he was still patiently talking back to Lu Yunshu.

"You're just making fun of yourself." Lu Yunshu responded, "Take it as if I didn't know that you've been helping Chen Ling all this time? You were dissatisfied with passing on your position back then, but you just sit in this remote courtyard by yourself and refuse to see anyone. It has helped Chen Ling a lot. Although you have lived here alone all these years, the secret guards are still loyal to you. They hide in various halls and should advise you, but you only use it to clear obstacles for Chen Ling."

Lu Yunshu thought of something and sneered, and glanced at the black figure.

"But now, this Chen Ling was just poisoned by a small poison, so he thought it was you who did it."

"You think so much about him, but you don't know that he treats you like a jackal."

Xiao Lan couldn't help feeling depressed, and he didn't want to pay any attention to Lu Yunshu, and drank the cold medicinal soup in one breath, "It's really bitter."

"I don't know if it's the medicine or the heart." Lu Yunshu took the empty porcelain bowl, "Aren't you going to tell Chen Ling now?"

"What?" Xiao Lan frowned, seeming a little annoyed.

"Your life is not long." Lu Yunshu said lightly.

Chen Ling's face was expressionless, and the black pupils looking at Lu Yunshu were suddenly so cold and piercing that people dare not look directly at them.

"Do you want me to make a big fanfare and say that I can't listen to Chen Ling?" Xiao Lan said sarcastically.He didn't know what happened to Lu Yunshu today. Although the two of them knew the fact that his body was exhausted for four years, it seemed that Lu Yunshu said it so meanly at this time. When Chen Ling was mentioned in every sentence, Xiao Lan was naturally annoyed.

"If you hadn't insisted on saving him back then, how could you have fallen to where you are today." Lu Yunshu said, "You know that the palm you received from the old sect master Chu would have split your heart and seriously injured your internal organs. You took most of your life, but you still insisted on saving Chen Ling. You have no internal strength, and the poison immediately invaded your heart and lungs, and a pair of regenerating Gu will not do much harm to martial arts practitioners, but if it is imposed on you It's extremely dangerous."

"When I say the word "sacrificing one's life," it's not an exaggeration."

"To this day, I still doubt whether you had the thought that you just lost your life and gave Chen Ling the position of sect master."

Lu Yunshu's words hit the hearts of Chen Ling and Xiao Lan heavily, as if every word hit the ground.

Chen Ling looked at a corner of Xiao Lan's figure, and there seemed to be a condensed storm surging in his dark pupils.

"What's wrong with you today, bring up the old matter again, or come to Xingshi to inquire about the crime?" Xiao Lan's expression turned completely cold, with sullen brows and eyes.

"How dare you, I'm not worth it for you." Lu Yunshu saw that Xiao Lan was really angry, and his voice calmed down. He stretched out his hand and patted Xiao Lan's shoulder, "If you don't want to mention it, I won't mention it again in the future." Xiao Lan raised his eyes to see Lu Yunshu's earnest expression, and sighed softly, "There is nothing worth it, after all, I lied to him."

"Chu Ya, what's so good about Chen Ling that you treat him so heartily."

Lu Yunshu finally asked, and this was the only question he wanted to ask Chu Ya.

The night was silent, and under the dim candlelight, the three people in the room fell silent.

Xiao Lan opened his mouth, but did not make a sound, he seemed to have something to say, maybe it was the truth or maybe it was an excuse.But at this moment, it was so quiet that it seemed that only his weak breathing and the beating heartbeat in his chest could be heard.Even if Xiao Lan knew the reason in his heart, he couldn't say it, because no one would understand.Xiao Lan felt tired for a moment, all the calmness and indifference seemed to dissipate at this moment.

He lowered his eyes, his eyes full of desolation and powerlessness.

He is not the only one who is so heartbroken.

He Mo gave him his entire life.

Xiao Lan was like that fragile and young lily-of-the-valley flower, but He Mo held it in his palm with all his heart, and even used his life to protect it in every possible way.Obviously there are countless roads to walk in this world, but He Mo wants to walk the same road with him.Even in the end, He Mo never regretted it.In the fire, as if for the first time, there was a smile in those dark eyes, but the light smile led him to a dead end.

So is Yarman.

No matter how much Arman deceived Xiao Lan, Xiao Lan couldn't hate this person, just because Arman put Xiao Lan on top of his heart.Xiao Lan used to think that if the sword hadn't been pierced at that time, whether the formation of destruction would have stopped without the blood of Arman's heart.Arman can regard Xiao Lan as a god, can create a world for Xiao Lan, and naturally can not destroy the world for Xiao Lan.Even if Arman falls to the top of the world, he is still reluctant to destroy Xiao Lan.

How could Xiao Lan not know about Chen Ling's kindness to him.In the first year of passing the throne to Chen Ling, he had nightmares every night. In his dreams, Chen Ling's blood-red eyes stared at him with hatred, asking him why he lied to him.If Chen Ling didn't trust him completely, how could he be so painful and hateful.

Xiao Lan had already had enough of this man's kindness to him, and he couldn't bear any more kindness from him.

He thought it was a debt, and he wanted to make up for Chen Ling, but somehow he owed more and more.

Be it Chen Ling or the destined person, Xiao Lan no longer wants to take his life, he just wants Chen Ling to be well.

Under the dim candlelight, the weak and pale man whispered three words——

"My pleasure."

Lu Yunshu was startled, and Chen Ling's body also froze.

"I'm happy to treat him like this." Xiao Lan said leisurely, he felt that his heart was terribly calm at this moment.

After all these considerations and trade-offs, I couldn't stop saying I am willing.

He didn't want to live every day, year after year, but only wished that Chen Ling's life would be prosperous, rich, happy and safe.

Looking at Xiao Lan's soft and quiet eyes, Lu Yunshu couldn't help shaking his head, and then looked sideways.

In the dim candlelight, Chen Ling's sharp-edged side face looked like a stable statue, but his eyes, which were always icy and cold, were an incredible and scorching black that seemed to burn and surge.

The porcelain cup in Chen Ling's hand turned into gravel and slowly flowed out of his hand.
