ink blade

When Chu Yan came back, it was already dusk.

He rubbed his forehead with his fingers, feeling a little annoyed.It was obvious that in the previous life he loved Bai Hua very much, but after his rebirth, there is no feeling of affection left, which is also strange.

Chu Yan's original intention was to stabilize Bai Hua first, not to miss anything, and then secretly track down the black hands behind this person.It's just that Bai Hua was gentle and innocent on the outside, but he was really shrewd on the inside, and he couldn't find any clues for a while.

Chu Yan had a lot of troubles when he was young, and after he became the hall master, he hated those intrigues very much.Before meeting Bai Hua, he was obsessed with martial arts, and since he was bitten by that little poisonous snake, he threw himself on Bai Hua's body.

The Nine Layers Hall is located in a remote and deep place, easy to defend and difficult to attack, although it also accepts some human lives to buy and sell, but they are very measured, and they seldom enter the muddy water that should not be entered.Coupled with the fact that it has a deep internal connotation, such a force that acts secretly, does not know the depths but does not cause any fatal harm, generally does not make endless enemies, so naturally it is happy to be at ease.

Because of this, Jiuchongdian got the name of a cult that is both good and evil, and unpredictable. To put it bluntly, it is just that the master of the palace is too lazy to deal with common matters.

However, the situation is different now, the scene of the destruction of the Nine Layers Palace is vivid in his mind, and Chu Yan can no longer be idle.

What's worse is that the rebirth is too shocking, and there is no one to discuss it, so it is uncomfortable to hold back.

Chu Yan walked to the door of the bedroom and raised his hand to stop the attendants on both sides who were trying to salute.

At this time, Ah Ren may have fallen asleep, after all, he was injured like that...

He sighed, Mo Ren's face floated in his mind again.Quiet, indifferent, obedient, forbearing... It seems that he doesn't have any emotions of his own.

No, it should be said that this person refused to show any emotions easily in front of him.

Chu Yan once thought that this kind of Ah Ren was very good, just like a real sharp knife.But now for some reason, whenever Chu Yan thinks of such an ink blade, it feels like a thin thorn is pierced in his heart, and it hurts, but he can't pull it out.

When they were younger, when Mo Ren first met him, it seemed that this person was not so cold.I don't know when it started...

Perhaps, he made a mistake when he first asked this man to make a sharp sword.

Fortunately, there should be time to make up for it.Thinking of this, Chu Yan felt a little joyful, and gently pushed the door open with his hands.

However, when he saw the scene inside, his expression suddenly changed, and he clenched his fists unconsciously.

"Aren..."

He did not see Mo Ren sleeping peacefully on the bed as he wished.

Mo Ren was kneeling beside the bed meticulously, with his head down, smoothing the last creases in the corner of the bed with his hands, and the setting sun outlined his brows and eyes brightly and darkly.

Hearing the sound of the door opening, he knelt up straighter, bowed his head to Chu Yan, and said, "My lord, the subordinates in the Zhonggan Hall have been cleaned up. Your sympathy for the past three days, Mo Ren Extremely grateful."

Chu Yan's gaze swept across the room, the quilts on the bed had been neatly stacked, and all the food plates, medicine bowls, sweat towels and other things on the table were cleaned up by him, except for the man kneeling in front of him. , did not leave anything that can prove that someone stayed in the palace master's bedroom for three days.

"..."

Chu Yan turned to look at Mo Ren who was kneeling calmly at the foot of the bed, angrily wanting to kick him directly.

This man, this fellow, undoubtedly conveyed to him the following meaning: Now you can let me go.

At this moment, Chu Yan only felt an evil fire burning in his heart, which made him ache everywhere, but the blood flowing from his limbs and bones was cooling down inch by inch.

He endured his emotions and approached step by step, stopping in front of Mo Ren.The palace master stared at the guards, and said word by word through his teeth: "Who told you to do this? Who told you to clean up—who told you to go away!?"

Mo Ren trembled imperceptibly, and raised his head in shock.This time, he met Chu Yan's phoenix eyes full of anger and pain, "Gu Ming clearly told you to wait for Gu to come back, don't you understand, huh?"

"Where do you want to go—where can you go like this!?"

A few words fell down, and Mo Ren's already pale face faded even more blood.Reflexively, he wanted to knock his head on the ground, and said in a trembling voice: "This subordinate is convicted, and the Lord calms down...!"

In fact, he didn't quite understand why the palace master was angry, he had drunk the medicine himself, and he did wait for the master to come back, and he said goodbye in person.

But Mo Ren would not justify anything, since he provoked the Lord, it must be that he did something wrong.

After receiving the punishment, he can think about it slowly, and think about it slowly.

But Chu Yan was shocked when he came back to his senses, and quickly grabbed the man's shoulders with his quick eyes and hands, so it didn't make Mo Ren knock down his head.

Then there was an incomparable regret welling up in my heart, I only thought that my tone was too harsh and frightened him.Chu Yan said in a hurry, "Don't be afraid, I won't punish you!"

Mo Ren was startled, his handsome face was blank.Chu Yan only felt that the shoulders under his hands were so thin and hard. After all, he couldn't bear it anymore, and slowly tightened his arms... He put Mo Ren into his arms, and sighed: "I'm sorry, I don't want to rush You get angry."

"My lord?" Mo Ren froze for a moment, then looked at Chu Yan calmly, hesitantly and carefully said, "If there is anything, I have to deal with it..."

He didn't understand why Chu Yan still hugged him now.

Chu Yan suddenly closed his eyes: "No, it's not..."

He felt that his tongue couldn't be controlled. Facing such an ink blade, he didn't know what to do, "It's not that I want you to do something...you...you are seriously injured this time, if you don't take a good rest, what kind of disease will you suffer in the future ..."

Mo Ren now understands, now that his martial arts are still intact, he is still the sharp sword that can cut through thorns and thorns for the palace master.At this time, the Lord still cared about him very much.

Thinking of this, he felt a little secretively happy, and said softly: "This subordinate's injuries are fine, so the master doesn't have to worry about it."

"..."

Chu Yan's expression darkened, and he vaguely felt that there was something wrong with Mo Ren's words.Especially the phrase "don't worry about it"... Maybe Ah Ren still feels that he only cares so much for being able to "use" his sword better?

He didn't know why he became like this, obviously he was reborn, and obviously he had started to learn to be considerate of the people in front of him, everything should start to get better.But why, it seems that he and Mo Ren have become more distant?

Chu Yan moved his lips.For a moment, he really wanted to tell Mo Ren everything about his previous life regardless.

He wanted to tell him how wrong he was, how regretful he was, how he wanted to be nice to him now...

But when Mo Ren cast his eyes as calm as an ancient well, thousands of words were blocked in his throat.

In the end, Chu Yan could only forcefully find a reason. He stared into the guard's eyes and said softly: "I just thought, we haven't talked properly for a long time... If Ah Ren really doesn't hate your master for this time, tonight Let's spend the night alone."

He thought for a while, and then added: "How about it?"

Mo Ren was taken aback, no matter what else, he really hadn't had a good conversation with the Palace Master for a long time.

After being kicked into the side hall in the previous life, he naturally couldn't get out.Chu Yan visited him a few times at the beginning, but he always left him angry, and gradually he couldn't come back.

Mo Ren knew that he should not continue to stay in the palace master's bedroom, which was against the rules.Chu Yan's attitude was also very strange, he didn't know what the Lord's purpose was.

But to be honest, he really... misses the Lord very much.

"...Yes." He sighed secretly in his heart, once again overstepping his duty.

Chu Yan raised his head in surprise, and quickly stretched out his arms to hug Mo Ren onto the bed.The guard trembled visibly when he nestled in his arms, and he quickly whispered: "Don't be afraid."

As he spoke, he put the ink blade on his side on the bed, and touched his ankle, trying to take off his shoes for someone else.

Unexpectedly, Mo Ren seemed to have been electrocuted, and his whole body shrank suddenly, his face was pale and said: "My lord, no! Dirty..."

Chu Yan's action was done without thinking.Mo Ren's violent reaction surprised him.

He quickly withdrew his hand, went around and stroked Mo Ren's back, and comforted him repeatedly: "Not dirty, not dirty... Ah Ren is obedient, don't be afraid of me."

Mo Ren lowered his head suddenly, he pursed his lips and dared not answer, he took off his shoes and socks shyly.

Then he raised the end of his eyes cautiously, and glanced at the master quietly, and when he met the anxious expression on Chu Yan's face, the dazed look appeared in his eyes again.

And Chu Yan's mind suddenly went blank.He suddenly realized that something was wrong, Ah Ren was too humble and frightened.

It's almost like... a beast that has been abused and kicked for many years, and when it sees a stranger, it subconsciously wants to shrink into a ball and tremble.And if the man is willing to give it a little caress and broth, it will be confused and unable to understand why.

— By the way, he should have found out sooner.

Chu Yan couldn't help scolding himself secretly, this should have been the most obvious thing.It's just that Mo Ren is used to restraint, and he tried his best to restrain this fragile emotion, which made Chu Yan realize this until now.

At this time, it was impossible for him to blame Mo Ren anymore, but he regretted it even more, thinking that entering the execution hall this time might have dealt too much blow to Ah Ren.

I don't know how long it will take to recuperate...

At this moment, Chu Yan naturally didn't know that the strangeness and fragility of the ink blade was not just because of being punished once.With so many years of physical and mental torture accumulated in his previous life, he was on the verge of collapse, almost crushed.

At this time, the ink blade comforted by Chu Yan's soft words is no longer the cold, sharp and indestructible sword of the past.

The sword is broken, the blade is broken.

……

It was getting dark.

In the end they didn't have much to say.

Mo Ren still couldn't accept sharing the same bed with his unparalleled master.He was obedient and reticent, Chu Yan told him to lie down and he would lie down, but his whole body was so tense, he huddled in a small corner beside the bed, as if he was afraid of soiling the bed of the Lord.

Chu Yan tried his best to talk but couldn't make the guards relax much. He was thinking about Mo Ren's injury and didn't dare to press too hard, so he just lay quietly on the same bed with Ah Ren, slowly wasting time.

In the end, it was Mo Ren who watched the time getting late, and finally said in a low voice: "It's time for the Lord to rest."

Only then did the strings in Chu Yan's heart loosen, and he smiled at him and said, "It's time for Ah Ren to rest too."

"Subordinate..."

Mo Ren hesitated to speak, and finally said with lowered eyes, "Yes."

Chu Yan waited until he didn't see him before speaking, sighed secretly in his heart, still smiling: "Then... Gu Ke has to go to bed first."

Mo Ren felt relieved immediately.He tentatively asked the master if he wanted him to wash and change clothes, but after being denied by Chu Yan, he lay back on the bed silently.

In the dead of night, the bright moon shone dimly.

Chu Yan fell asleep quickly. He had been too tense for the past few days since he was born again, and he was already very tired with the ink blade's injury in his heart.

Mo Ren couldn't fall asleep for a long time.He closed his eyes for a long time, but his mind was always in a mess, with all kinds of distracting thoughts rushing out.

He secretly turned his head to look at his master again.

Chu Yan's breathing was long and steady, his handsome eyebrows and eyes sunken in the dark night, he looked very young, and he didn't see the gloomy and cold ten years later.It seems that even the lines of the outline are soft, and the appearance of a teenager can still be vaguely seen.

That's great, Mo Ren thought secretly with his eyes open.

At this moment, he suddenly felt thin sparks rising from his heart, bright and warm.

Mo Ren shrank carefully into the soft quilt, the days of walking dead have passed for too long, and even the warmth feels strange and awkward.But at this moment, he suddenly felt that he seemed to have come back to life—in order to protect a safe Chu Yan, he could die a miserable death, or he could live on.

He recalled the last time in his previous life when he vaguely heard Chu Yan say that his life was cheap.He didn't admit it until now, but what's wrong with being cheap?

It was originally a sword, and the Lord broke it when he said it, and discarded it when he said it; when the Lord wanted to use it again, he threw the broken iron remains into the furnace to be calcined, and it was still good for recasting. It can barely be regarded as sharp.

... If so, that would be great.

Mo Ren slightly frowned, and smiled silently.His eyes looking at Chu Yan are as cool as water, brighter than anyone else has ever seen.

The author has something to say: Adjust the perspective in two places and add drama.The control of this paragraph is not good, and I am going to throw up after going back and forth. It is better to completely overthrow and rewrite it.Start to be irritable.jpg
