The villain is respected

The next scene seems to have no other touches.Xie Chi just quietly watched the boy grow up in the cracks of Yao Menglan's memory.

His stature gradually grew taller, and his slightly green face slowly grew, becoming sharp and angular, and he grew into the gentle and humble appearance he is now.

Until—the person he was familiar with knelt on the majestic and splendid golden palace again.

Xie Chi listened to the elders in the hall asking sharply: "Yu Jianhan, you know your mistake!"

The kneeling man looked like the boy from yesterday, his starry eyes were still staring straight at them: "I don't know."

The ring whip wrapped in spiritual power came down heavily with a sharp piercing sound, splashing bright red blood in an instant.

"Xie Chi is ruthless and does all kinds of evil, but you let him bluff around and don't report what he knows..." The elder gritted his teeth and said with a grim face, "Yu Jianhan, you are very good!"

"I'll ask you again, how did Xie Chi get out of the Eastern Wild Sea, and how did you meet him!"

This question seemed to bring back the memory of that person, Yu Jianhan's eyes softened, and his blood-stained lips slowly curved slightly.

Everyone present, including Xie Chi who is now in the memory, clearly saw him slowly opening his lips.

"I don't know." He laughed, gentle and stubborn.

Xie Chi slowly squatted down beside him, it seemed that by bending over like this, the dull pain in his heart could be relieved, and it no longer seemed to be torn in two.

He stretched his hand forward, but his fingertips pierced the phantom, only touching the air, but Xie Chi patiently and quietly followed the outline, and outlined the appearance of that person bit by bit.

It was as if he wanted to engrave him into his heart with his fingertips and remember him for a lifetime.

Xie Chi was obviously smiling, but his eyes were filled with sadness, which was a kind of extremely mournful despair, and Yao Menglan was no stranger to such a strong feeling that suffocated him.

So this is ah……

She understands everything.

Tears blurred her eyes, but she laughed again. The hoarse and wild laughter was intermittent, but in the end it was lost in the sobs.

"Thank you." Yao Menglan seemed to be crying and laughing, she looked at the man and said pitifully, "I finally know why you care so much about Yu Jianhan."

"The same life Gu has no solution...you will never be able to save him." She paused for a moment, but the moment she shed tears, a brighter smile appeared on her face.

"However, the only one who can save him now is you."

Xie Chi acted as if he couldn't hear her words, he just went about his own business quietly, without giving her a single glance.

Yao Menglan didn't care about his indifference, she continued on her own: "Do you know why it was him? There are countless talented monks in the world, why did you choose him?"

"Because—" she softly stabbed out the last knife, "We have searched the world for thousands of years, and only found two people who can light an everlasting lamp. One is you, and the other is him..."

"So, Yu Jianhan is the existence to take over from you. He is our well-prepared backhand. The value of his existence is to continue to light the eternal lamp when you are unable to guard Dongwang..."

Xie Chi's hand stopped completely, and he froze on the spot, only feeling that the whole world was shattered and completely collapsed in front of him, revealing a rotten and dilapidated abyss.

"So, he was forced into the Eastern Paradise by you." He mechanically turned his eyes to the woman, and said shyly.

"Xie Chi, Xinmoyuan is too important." Yao Menglan's words stopped abruptly, and she lowered her eyes to avoid the topic of Xinmoyuan.

The woman raised the corners of her lips in a self-deprecating way: "As early as the moment when Yu Jianhan's ability to influence the ever-bright lamp was discovered, his fate was already doomed... He planted the same fate Gu with Lin Yu, not for some protection , but to let Lin Yu contain him."

"Because other people may have a different heart, but Lin Yu will never betray."

Looking at Xie Chi's slightly pale face, Yao Menglan suddenly felt a kind of sadness, as if seeing another self, helpless and sympathetic to each other.

Her tearful eyes were full of pity, and she sighed: "Lin Yu is never what he appears on the surface, his heart is more ruthless than anyone else... When necessary, he can sacrifice himself for Yi Yunting s life."

After finishing speaking, Yao Menglan's eyes fell on the kneeling figure in the hall. She looked nostalgic and said in a desolate tone, "Do you know why I still remember it so clearly when Bingyan didn't appear here?"

"Because on that day, Lin Yu summoned us to call Yu Jianhan back to the sect and ask you about going out of Dongxu... But he only said two words from the beginning to the end—"

"I don't know."

She staggered two steps forward, carefully looked at the man who was still quiet under the whip, and finally revealed the more cruel truth: "In addition to the spirit chain and the whip, we tried other punishments, But nothing was found... Later, Lin Yu learned about it."

Xie Chi's heart almost stopped, his thoughts were in a trance, and he almost couldn't find his own voice: "And then..."

"Then..." Yao Menglan smiled, but tears kept falling, "He was so cruel that he used the heart-biting poison on himself."

Heart-eating Gu... Looking at Xie Chi's instantly pale face, Yao Menglan felt a sense of revenge mixed with guilt.

But she knew that everything was much more than that.

"You have to know that this same life Gu has been improved for thousands of years, and its effectiveness is already far beyond comparison - it will transmit the pain suffered by the mother Gu to the child Gu by dozens of times."

"Bingyan had also been punished by the heart-biting poison. He said that the feeling was so painful that he couldn't live without it. So at that time, I kept thinking, how did Yu Jianhan survive when dozens of times the heart-biting torture fell on him? "

"And I'm glad that it's not my child who is experiencing all this."

Xie Chi's eyes were red for a moment, his eyes were full of hatred, he gritted his teeth and said sharply: "I will kill you."

Yao Menglan laughed, and she said, "But you can't touch us! Xie Chi, if you kill any of us, Lin Yu will have a way to make Yu Jianhan's life worse than death."

"Now, the Nine Sects are going to completely seal off the Eastern Paradise Sea. One of you and Yu Jianhan must go in..." Yao Menglan slipped a dagger from his sleeve.

Clang——with a flash of silver light, she brushed off the scabbard with one hand, pointed the blade of the dagger at her chest with her backhand, and handed the handle towards Xie Chi.

"Xie Chi, we lied to you and took advantage of Yu Jianhan, so you shouldn't have any hesitation... just break into Yungong, just like you killed Wuion, get rid of Lin Sixuan with your own hands, and then kill us all .”

"We are dead, your revenge will be avenged, and no one will force you to go to the Heart Demon Abyss, everything will be over..."

She looked at the young man in front of her, laughed, and pushed the dagger forward: "And you, you only need to sacrifice one Yu Jianhan."

Xie Chi watched the dagger quietly, but did not move for a long time.

Seeing this, Yao Menglan already had a conclusion in her heart, she didn't know what to be happy about.Still should be sad, only showing a smile uglier than crying.

I know that Bingyan is my weakness, but Yu Jianhan is your lifeblood.

"Go back to the Eastern Paradise." Yao Menglan finally let go of her hand, she lowered her eyes, and gave the last and only way.

Only when you go back and let Xinmoyuan remain peaceful, Cheng Yunzong will continue to support Yu Jianhan.

Continue to feed him like you feed prey.

"Xie Chi, you care too much. Once you cared about Lin Yu and Bing Yan, and they became your own shackles. If you are really the legendary cold-blooded, ruthless, murderous monster , will live more freely than now..."

No one will take advantage of your kindness to create a shackle for you and drive you into a desperate situation.

The good guys can't always beat the bad guys.

Yao Menglan laughed again with tears all over his face, but his voice was hoarse, like a resentful soul tormented day and night.

"No matter how ferocious a beast is, as long as there is something it cares about, it will willingly put on the rein and become a dog wagging its tail under the hands of others."

"It's pathetic." She sighed almost self-deprecatingly.

*

When Xie Chi dragged his heavy body back to the Fuju Building, it was already three quarters of Yin time.

The night dew was deep and wet, and the moonlight was completely silent. Yu Jianhan waited in the courtyard with a lamp.He looked up at the dark sky hanging on the treetops, and he was wrapped in a white shirt in the warm candlelight.

Just like between heaven and earth, he is the only light.

Xie Chi walked slowly into the darkness, his face was solemn, and there was an indelible sadness in his eyes.

The sluggish footsteps shattered the silent night, Yu Jianhan turned his head and looked over, he reached out and held up the lamp, illuminating the man's path, with warm light reflected in his eyes.

"Yu Jianhan." Xie Chi finally stopped in front of him, he carefully reached out his hand, touched his shoulder lightly, and asked a question without beginning or end.

"Does it hurt..."

Yu Jianhan looked down at his fingers, and instantly understood the meaning of Xie Chi's words.The smile on his face paused slightly, his throat rolled up and down, and finally with a hoarse voice, he replied softly: "It doesn't hurt anymore, it will be better soon."

Hearing this, Xie Chi laughed, and through the flickering candlelight of the warm light, one could see the sparkle of water in his eyes.There was a kind of exhausted despair on his body, like a traveler who had been wandering in the deep sea for countless years and finally decided to let go of the driftwood in his hand.

"I will go back to the Eastern Wild Sea..."

He was silent for a moment, but he didn't know what else to say. In the end, he could only instruct in a hoarse voice, "Don't worry, I will be fine, and I will definitely guard the Heart Demon Abyss."

Xie Chi's eyes fell on that person's face, and he slowly smiled: "I will not let you be forced into the Eastern Wild Sea again."

Yu Jianhan stood quietly, his eyes were clean, with the clarity of seeing through everything - just like all camouflages, they would be disarmed under his gaze.

At that moment, it was as if the scorching sun had shone into the abyss, burning away the filth in it, as well as Xie Chi's poor disguise.

Xie Chi finally couldn't hide his despair, the deceptions, exploits and schemes one after another had crushed him to the point where he couldn't even breathe.

However, that's not what he cares about.

"Yu Jianhan." Xie Chi showed such a fragile and helpless look for the first time, his eyes were red, he lowered his head slightly, looking at his hands over and over again, "What should I do..."

His eyes were full of desperate urgency, as if he wanted to find some solution from above.

Finally, a drop of warm water hit his palm, like a heavy hammer weighing a thousand catties, instantly smashing all his defenses.

He suddenly hugged the person in front of him silently, feeling as if a big hole had been torn in his heart, and the wound was gurgling with blood.The blood flowed endlessly, so it welled up in the eye sockets, and slowly condensed into tears.

Xie Chi put his head on the man's shoulder, unable to see his expression clearly, his words were full of pain and despair, "How can I save you?"

He seemed to be asking someone else, more like questioning himself, and repeated in a trembling voice: "How can I save you..."

Yu Jianhan, who was being hugged, looked down at him, only to see his long eyelashes drooping slightly, hiding all the emotions in his eyes, and sighed softly: "Ah Xie, you have saved me."

It's just that you forgot that in the past years, you have saved me countless times.Now, it's time for me to fulfill my promise.

You already know everything you need to know, and as for the rest—things that shouldn't exist, they should be buried thoroughly with people who shouldn't exist.
