Xu Chi put away his confused thoughts, and walked quickly to the front of his junior brother's house.

It has been five days since the last time my junior was pressed on the door frame and on the table to confess my love. I always wanted to avoid it if I could, but now it is time to face it.

He knocked on the door, and soon there were footsteps inside, but he was a little tired and reluctant, and seemed unwilling to open the door. It was not until the door opened that Xu Chi felt that he had guessed right. Shen Lu lowered his eyes full of impatience, until he looked up and saw It was only when I was alone that I was shocked and raised my spirits.

"Senior brother!" Shen Lu's face was full of disbelief, he was already mentally prepared for his senior brother to ignore him for the rest of his life, but Xu Chi's sudden visit made him surprised and panicked.

Xu Chi saw that his junior brother had lost a lot of weight in the past few days, and it would be a lie to say that he didn't feel sorry for him. He sighed secretly, and said in a low voice: "Go into the house, there is something important."

Shen Lu's body was stiff for a moment, but the corners of his mouth still raised unconsciously, the joy of not being abandoned came so easily.

He brought tea and water to tidy up, but Xu Chi waved his hand at him to avoid it: "I'll just stay for a while, and I'll go back to harvest dragon heart grass later, otherwise the effect of the medicine will wear off."

This was the first time that senior brother mentioned these herbs to himself, and Shen Lu subconsciously put his arms behind his back: "Dragon Heart Grass?"

Xu Zhi pursed his lips, and said in a deep voice: "You have always been smarter than Er Pang and Yuan Chen, senior brother will not hide it from you now, senior senior brother can plant dragon heart grass, if you want to save the life of Lord Qimen, you must use dragon heart every day The heart grass is used as medicine to induce him to take it."

Shen Lu never expected that senior brother would say this to him, he stood by the table with a delicate expression: "So?"

"The Martial Arts League Conference is very close at hand. Baguamen must go there when invited by the imperial court. The decoction of dragon heart grass can be used and must not be known by others, so as not to implicate the Baguamen. So you stay in Qimen and use dragon heart grass to heal the elder brother. Master Qimen, senior brother will come back immediately after the Jinling affairs are completed." Xu Chi finished speaking in one breath, then took another deep breath and looked at Shen Lu quietly.

Shen Lu's forehead veins twitched slightly, and his light brown eyes were fixed on Xu Chi.

"Eldest brother...going to Jinling to abandon me?" He gently put the water glass in his hand on the table, but water splashed out.

Xu hold a meal.

Shen Lu raised the corners of his lips but there was no smile, and his eyes were filled with a trace of despair: "Is it because what I said a few days ago disgusted senior brother?"

"Stop, big brother didn't want to talk to you today," Xu Chi took a deep breath again, and said sharply, "Dragon Heart Grass is extremely precious and easy to cause trouble, I don't trust anyone to take it over except you. "

Even Qi Huanxi was worried, even though he wanted to save his father.

Shen Lu's excited mood was very well calmed down by the sentence "except for you". His chest heaved and he could not help but say, "Master Qimen's condition is so serious that he can't live without Dragon Heart Grass?"

Although what he said was straightforward, Xu Chi had to admit that he was right. Qi Huanxi needed time to take over Qimen, and Wulin couldn't let Qimen fall, so the master of Qimen must last as long as possible.

"With Dragon Heart Grass, we can't live for long. What we have to do is to prolong the life of Master Qimen as much as possible." Xu Chi said this in a pure white gown, and he couldn't help but feel a sense of indifference, not to mention that he was originally emotional. Not good, the eyes are full of desolation.

"Can't it be completely revived?" Shen Lu's voice was a little guilty.

Xu Chi sensitively noticed that he seemed to be afraid, so he frowned and watched silently.

Shen Lu stabilized his trembling arm, narrowed his eyes and said, "Brother, Master Qimen's illness...has his Gu been eliminated?"

Master Qimen did have Gu in his body at the beginning, but after Xu Zhi took the medicine for a short period of time, it was cleared up. Today, when he checked again, Qimen master's pulse was weak but there was no sign of poisoning, but his vitality was weak, like a rotten tree. Rejuvenation can only be achieved by relying on medicine stones.

"It's useless to get rid of it. It's been too long, and life has been exhausted. If there is no Dragon Heart Grass, I can't hang my life." Xu Chi looked embarrassed, and felt a hatred for his powerlessness.

Shen Lu was stunned, his thoughts scattered to nowhere, he just stared blankly at the frowning brows of the elder brother: "Eldest brother..."

"You are not young, you should know the seriousness of the situation." Xu Chi lowered his eyes and said deeply.

It was the first time he had used his elder brother's authority to put pressure on the obedient and sensible third junior brother. This was an irresistible order mixed with a trace of his own selfishness.

Qimen, as a major faction in the Central Plains, was already heavily guarded, but now it is controlled by Master Wuguo and the Eighteen Arhats of Shaolin. Qi Huanxi also stayed at the gate this time, adding warriors to guard him from Huizhou.

This time Qimen has spent a lot of money. In Duan Wuliang's words, with such a strong defense, it would take more than a dozen hours for the Royal Guards to break through, just like attacking a fortified city.

Xu Chi kept Shen Lu in Qimen because he didn't want him to take risks with him. He didn't know how he would go back to this martial arts league meeting. If he had any thoughts that he shouldn't have, getting closer would cause more unnecessary misunderstandings, and he wanted to kill these in the cradle.

Shen Lu lowered his head quietly, but just when Xu Zhi thought he was going to be furious, he nodded lightly: "I see."

Brother Chi's original suppression theory suddenly became useless.

I saw that the younger brother put away the anxiety and rage of the past six months, calmly received all the emotions in the deepest part of his pupils, quietly looked at the senior brother and said: "I know, senior brother, I will help you here to fry for Master Qimen." At the same time, pay attention to the trend of the demon sect," he picked up the water glass on the table and brought it to Xu Chi, "You go to Jinling and go back and forth for a month, and pay attention to taking care of your health."

When Xu Chi took the glass of water, the remaining warmth was still there, although it wasn't hot, it was so hot that people didn't want to touch it.

"I'm waiting at Qimen for the elder brother to come back." Shen Lu smiled lightly, sat back on the stool and said to Xu Chi.

Xu Chi held the water glass tightly: "Ah Lu, do you know..."

"What?" There was a slight smile on the corner of Shen Lu's lips, and he asked him without any grudges. At this moment, Xu Chi suddenly realized that this is what his junior brother would look like if he was alienated from him.

The words choked up in his throat for a moment, he wanted to remind Ah Lu to stay away from Qi Huanxi, that bastard had bad intentions, but he couldn't say it under Shen Lu's calm and smiling eyes.

This... Let him think about it for himself, after all, he is just a senior brother, not a father, and he has no position to speak out about this matter.

"It's nothing, you have to protect yourself. Everything else is not as important as yourself. If something happens, don't worry about the morals of the world, save your life. If the sky falls, everyone will blame you and your brother will stand up for you, you know? "Xu Chi was silent for a moment, then patted him on the shoulder lightly.

But Shen Lu couldn't help but asked after all: "Then compared with Buddha, who do you think is more important?"

Although he suppressed his desire to be close to the elder brother, he couldn't tolerate that person's insipid appearance gradually infiltrating into the elder brother's life. His voice trembled slightly, but his tone was firm, and he vowed not to compromise unless he asked the result. .

In the past, no matter who asked such a question, Xu Zhi would have to go through the other party's eighteen generations of ancestors in his heart, but today it is as difficult for him to speak out as if his throat is locked.

Silly children, you are my brother's little treasures. Brother Chi has kept these words in mind for seven years as his motto, but he gradually wavered.

"Don't ask such silly questions. You are the brother's family, so naturally it is more important." Xu Chi stood up and replied with a straight face, but a feeling of irritability rose in his heart.

Shen Lu was not very happy when he got the answer, his face remained unchanged, and he even nodded with a trace of sadness: "Very good... Elder Brother treats me as a family member, and I will definitely protect Elder Brother as a close relative."

The more Xu Chi heard it, the more he felt something was wrong, but he didn't want to delve into the meaning of what he said. His intuition told him that if he pursued it by himself, it might cause the same situation as that day, which Xu Chi didn't want to see.

"I'm your senior brother. It's my job to protect you. Stay at Qimen well. We'll go back to the teacher's gate as soon as these things are over." Xu Chi turned around and walked out of Shen Lu's room with his clear eyes drooping slightly. With a trace of stagnation, it was impossible to see Shen Lu's tightly clenched fists, as well as the scars and bloodshots all over his wrists.

Three days ago, Shen Lu confessed to his elder brother impulsively. After being knocked out by Qi Huanxi, he woke up and his blood flowed backwards. The Gu worms that had settled down in his body were all violent. You can see the seriousness of the situation.

Gu worms are parasitic in the blood, Qi Huanxi used medicine to soothe them for a few days, and planned to get rid of them together someday. In order not to let the elder brother know about his situation, Shen Lu deliberately told Qi Huanxi not to talk too much. Qi Huanxi's eyes once bloomed. A large piece of burning bright joy, promised in a low voice: "Don't worry, the days of this Gu worm are short, I can get rid of it for you."

Hearing this promise, Shen Lu never felt relaxed, but felt that he had fallen into a deeper ice cellar, and his whole body was cold.

Qi Huanxi really knows Gu worms well...

In order to make his qi and blood reach the most exuberant level, Qi Huanxi let him take the medicine with his permission, and Shen Lu frowned. He didn't feel the power of the medicine, but his qi and blood boiled up. Although the other party looked at his clear eyes in amazement, he had no choice but to heal him completely in secret pity.

Shen Lu's meridian was opened by a special drug, and the blood seeped out along the surface of the skin. The young man's slender and lean body seemed to be conceived from the blood. He had a calm expression from the beginning to the end, staring at his own Qi Huanxi.

In the past few days, he has to cover his whole body tightly, so that there is no wind, so as not to cause the wound to recur or suffer from internal cold. This is why he didn't go to see the elder brother even though he heard that Xu Chi was back. Seeing senior brother Yan again, the second is that Qi Huanxi ordered him not to be discharged from the hospital, otherwise life and death will be left to fate.

Shen Lu closed his eyes and calmly responded to his order.

He wanted to figure out what Qi Huanxi was going to do.
