Carry the flag of evil

After Su Li brought Su Ye back, he stayed in the house.It was the former pharmacy of the Great Guangming Sect. Su Li put Su Ye on a platform, closed the door, and kept everyone out.From morning till night, Huo Bai heard constant noises coming from inside, as well as Su Ye's roar when he suddenly woke up. In the afternoon, all kinds of voices gradually subsided, and there was no more movement.

Su Li stayed inside for a whole day without even drinking his saliva.At dinner time, Huo Bai came to the door and knocked lightly, but no one answered.He opened the door and went in, and saw Su Ye lying on a platform in the middle, his chest rising and falling slightly, but the rhythm was very different from normal people.A cloud of red spread out on one side of the stage. It was Su Li kneeling in front of the stage, with his long black hair hanging down, sleeping on his arm.

Huo Bai approached, and saw that there was still a ray of fatigue between his brows that had not dissipated.Although he is an adult, Su Li has a small face, handsome features, and a strong sense of youth.It's just that he is no longer the radiant young man he was back then. This young body is full of scars, and there is no blood on his lips. He looks very haggard.

Su Li seems to have no relatives in this world.He was denounced as a sinister villain by the Righteous Immortal Sect. Faced with all kinds of doubts, no one would believe him even if he made every excuse. When he was in danger, he didn't even have a single person to rely on.Huo Bai wondered in a daze, wondering if Su Li's dependence on him was just pretending when they were at Forging Sword Peak, or whether he had longed for an older brother to accompany him.

Huo Bai knelt down on one knee, reached his slender waist with one hand, and gently hugged him into his arms.Huo Bai's heart skipped a beat when he hugged Su Li's waist, because he felt that the person in his arms was too thin, even thinner than they were when they were living and drinking in Mochou Mountain.Huo Bai took a deep breath, collected himself, and was about to hug him, but he caught a glimpse of the ring on his finger out of the corner of his eye.With Huo Bai's cultivation today, he could clearly see those translucent puppet threads protruding from the ten-finger ring, and the other end was connected to Su Ye on the stage.

Huo Bai gently supported Su Li's head, and let him rest on his chest gently, then grabbed his hand and carefully took off the rings.He glanced down from time to time. Su Li was breathing steadily, showing no signs of waking up.Putting ten strangely shaped rings side by side on the stage, Huo Bai picked up Su Li and sent him back to his room.

At night, there are no lights in the house, only the dim light of the sky from the open windows.Huo Bai laid the man flat on the bed, and when he was about to cover him with a quilt, he noticed that the puppet that Su Li had been hanging around his waist was gone, replaced by a blue jade biscuit with golden tassels on the bottom.In Huo Bai's memory, Su Li preferred wooden things over gold, silver and jade. This jade bi was hung on his waist, it was heavy, reflecting the fiery red coat, it was even more crystal clear and jade-like.

Huo Bai picked it up and rubbed it lightly with his fingertips.Suddenly, Su Li on the bed opened his eyes without any warning, and stared at him blankly.

After Huo Bai put the man down, he maintained a bent posture, propped up the bed with one hand, and pinched the jade bib at Su Li's waist with the other, and the two of them were very close.Realizing that the person below him had woken up, Huo Bai raised his head slightly and met his eyes.

Huo Bai held his breath subconsciously, and his movements froze for a moment. Unexpectedly, Su Li just glanced at him, probably because he saw Huo Bai, the vigilance in his eyes quickly dissipated, and he was again occupied by fatigue and sleepiness.He hooked Huo Bai's neck, pulled him towards him, and closed his eyes again.

"..." Huo Bai didn't take precautions in time, and just lay on Su Li's chest, listening to the heartbeat in his chest, while the rhythmic warm breath rushed over his head.

Su Li didn't use much force, but Huo Bai felt his entire upper body was bound by a powerful force.Afraid of crushing Su Li, he had no choice but to support his body with his arms, and slowly raised his head.

Su Li was lying under him, like a beautiful deer when she was asleep, quiet and obedient.The white and small chin is slightly tilted, casting a faint shadow on the smooth neck.His brows and eyes were slightly frowned, as if he had something on his mind even in his sleep, his light-colored lips were parted, the skin was a little dry, and the skin at the corners of his lips was rolled up, making one want to lick/wet it.

Huo Bai's eyes locked tightly on that beautifully shaped mouth, smelling the slight medicinal fragrance from his body, his Adam's apple moved.The scorching breath hit Su Li's face, and he opened his eyes again, his blurred vision fixed on Huo Bai's face.

From bewilderment to doubt, and then from doubt to comprehension, Su Li's eyes gradually cleared up.He belatedly realized that he was holding Huo Bai's neck domineeringly, so he let go of his hands, and muttered: "I thought I was dreaming."

Huo Bai stood up straight and looked at him quietly.Does he often have such dreams?Holding yourself brazenly like this?

Su Li sat up, glanced at the furnishings of the room, and asked, "Why am I here? You brought me back?"

"You fell asleep." Huo Bai whispered.

"Yeah." Su Li covered his forehead for a while, then suddenly smiled, and said, "Huo Bai, you're really a gentleman, I wasn't prepared at all just now, wouldn't you do something to take advantage of others' danger?"

Huo Bai's eyes were burning: "What do you want me to do?"

"For example, take the opportunity to kill me..." Su Li glanced at him, saw his eyes turned cold, and smiled again, "Or, what else do you want to do to me?"

Huo Bai sat down beside his bed.

Su Li stared at him blankly, thinking that he would walk away angrily after being teased by him.

"let's talk."

Huo Bai looked at him.Su Li was stared at by his focused eyes, his heart moved, and he nodded: "Okay."

Since Su Li's identity was revealed, they have been chasing and being chased every day, and they have never found a time to sit down and talk calmly about what happened.Huo Bai carefully recalled every detail of how he got along with Su Li, and it was indeed as he said, he had always been straightforward and soft-spoken, and he didn't need to deliberately deceive others except for his identity.

Knowing that Elder Lingjian died at the hands of Ming Yan, Huo Bai seemed to have relieved a heavy burden, but Su Li told him bluntly that if he had the chance, he would still kill Elder Lingjian to avenge Su Yaolang .This was his inner voice, and he didn't deliberately conceal it in front of Huo Bai.He seems to be such a person, doing what he wants to do, regardless of what others think.

Huo Bai calmed down completely this time, and wanted to hear what he had to say.

"Is your senior sister still alive?" Huo Bai paused, "Answer me truthfully."

Su Li stared at him steadfastly, and after a while, lowered his head and said, "You will never see her again."

Huo Bai felt pain in his heart, and his voice was extremely difficult: "She was in that fire in Tiehai..."

Su Li shook his head.

"Then what happened to her?" Huo Bai asked, "Tell me everything that happened that day, and don't miss any details."

Su Li was silent for a while, and finally spoke.He started the day with taking Huo Bai into Tiehai, and told everything and every detail, speaking slowly, and every word was extremely clear.

"You mean, you were knocked out at the time, and when you woke up, you found the wound on your body?" Huo Bai confirmed the details with him.

Su Li nodded, and said: "There are also those iron guards, who killed them."

"After you came back, I asked your elder brother about their whereabouts. Why didn't you tell me these things at that time?"

"I... I was worried about you at the time, afraid that you would be discovered by others, so I hurried back without looking for them again." Su Li hesitated, "I saw that you were worried about them all the time, so you made up a lie and wanted to Put your mind at ease."

Huo Bai looked at him with complicated eyes.

Su Li was silent.

"Is there any evidence for what you said?" Huo Bai said, "Eldest brother and He Lan both said that your senior sister personally identified you."

Su Li shook his head sadly.

"and after?"

"Later...the volcano erupted and the iron sea caught fire, and many people died." Su Li's eyes were blurred and far away, as if caught in that horrible and thrilling memory, "...until the bronze gate opened, us survivors fled Over there, a Tiewei found Senior Sister and brought her here."

"Bronze Gate?!" Huo Bai's eyes flickered, "Have you gone to the world over there?"

Su Li nodded: "There is a very big world on the other side of the bronze gate. I stayed there for a year, practicing and making a bronze puppet at the same time. Sister, she...she is with me all the time. She is in Tiehai When she was found, most of her body was burnt, it was Wugou Gu that helped her survive."

"But..." Huo Bai was puzzled, "Senior brother and He Lanque did look for her, but they didn't find her."

"Senior Sister told me the same way." Su Li said, "She said that she had been lying in the same place and couldn't move her body. She clearly saw Lang Xuan passing by, but she didn't notice her."

"...Why?" Huo Bai's face darkened, "Could it be... an invisibility talisman? That's why you said that you have doubts about He Lan."

"I also doubted the elder brother. I don't trust any of them except you." Su Li said, "It's a pity that when the senior sister was found, many of the clothes on her body were burned, and no talisman paper was found."

"If no talisman is found, there is no evidence." Huo Bai understood, "What happened next?"

"...Senior Sister doesn't trust me." Su Li whispered, "She said that she really felt that I...did that kind of thing to her that night. Senior Sister was in poor health, and then... a year later, she died."

Huo Bai stared at him firmly, as if he wanted to see something in his eyes, and said slowly: "Is there any evidence to prove what you said?"

"I have no proof." Su Li looked at him and asked in a low voice, "...do you believe me?"

Looking at those cautious eyes, Huo Bai hadn't seen such an expression on him for a long time.He opened his mouth, and finally said: "I really want to believe you, Li, but I need evidence. If you can prove everything you said, not only me, but other people will also change their minds about you."

"Yeah." Su Li nodded, "I'll find a way."

Huo Bai looked at his drooping head, felt a pain in his heart, and asked, "Do you hate me?"

Su Li paused, shook his head, and said, "No."

"why?"

Su Li suddenly smiled, and said, "If I were you, I wouldn't believe my own opinion. I understand your thoughts, so I won't hate you."

"What I said...isn't this." Huo Bai said with some difficulty, "You said you liked me, but I didn't believe you...As a person...you once liked...do you hate me?"

Su Li and him looked at each other for a long time, and finally said: "I don't hate you... I did hate you before, but now... Huo Bai, I will never hate you."

Staring at those clean and pure eyes, at that moment, Huo Bai could hardly hold back, his eyes gradually turned red.

"Then you...do you still like me?"

Su Li looked at him for a long time, watching him lose his composure for himself, watching him ache for himself, these were all he had wanted.If it was before, Huo Bai felt so sorry for him, he would definitely like it very much.However, since Mo Huanxue passed away, he suddenly discovered that death was so close to him.

He doesn't have much time left.

"Don't ask me this question." Su Li shook his head, "Huo Bai, just like before, pretend you don't know anything, okay?"
