Sword Spirit became Bai Yueguang after going offline

When Shen Songyue heard the words, she immediately turned her head to look at Chu Qing who was walking behind them.

Chu Qing clasped her hands in her sleeves, and smiled kindly at Shen Songyue: "It's okay, are they all young people? I, an old man, come out for a trip, and I can also see the customs and customs of various places."

Qi Ran also heaved a sigh of relief.

Although these days, the Buddha's attitude towards them is very clear: his beloved little grandson's good friends No. [-], No. [-], No. [-], No. [-]... He really regards himself as an old man who travels with his grandson Weng, when he was asked to help contain Xuanzhen, he also had the attitude of "well, then my old man will play with you".

But I still worry about whether I have neglected him.

Xiaobai's mentality has grown visible to the naked eye since he took shape. Seeing this, he didn't care about 21, and said sweetly to Chuqing directly: "Grandpa is so kind! Thank you, grandpa, for bringing us to Yueyue!"

"Oh, what did Xiaobai say to grandpa to thank you!" Chu Qing was immediately coaxed into a smile, seeing that Xiaobai stretched out his claws to him, she quickly took Xiaobai from Qi Ran's arms and hugged her.

Seeing this, Shen Songyue couldn't help showing a slight smile on her face.

It just so happened that a few people just entered the inner hall at this moment, and the man who was leaning against the side of the main seat spoke again in a sour tone: "Tsk tsk tsk tsk, our murderous New Moon Demon Venerable actually looks smiling ? Shen Songyue, I've been on the saddle for you for so many years, and someday you'll smile at me?"

Qi Ran looked over curiously, and saw that the man had put a lot of thought into dressing up—a crimson red python-pattern robe slipped loosely on his shoulders, and the black cross-neck gown inside was slightly tightened around the waist, outlining the He has a narrow waist and long black hair that seems to be casually tied with a hosta on his shoulders. The hanging hair slightly softens his handsome and tough outline, making him look handsome and yet bewitching.

Although it has been 30 or [-] years since I went out with Shen Songyue to make an appointment, Qi Ran can still recall that no matter which friend’s house he went to, he would “encounter” all kinds of men and women who admired Shen Songyue——

Yes, men and women.

Shen Songyue is not the same as Gu Lingxiao. Although Gu Lingxiao is also very popular, it may be because his personality is too cold and he keeps too far away from others. Most of the people who will give him a glance are mainly women, and no man dares to think too much; Shen Songyue was like a spring breeze to everyone back then, talking and laughing happily, from time to time, Qi Ran would see a few men who were infatuated with him.

But Shen Songyue never loved anyone.

It's okay to be friends, but you don't need to talk about love.

Looking at the man in front of him, the aura around him must have been in a high position all year round, and his cultivation level... Qi Ran can only tell that he is at least in the early stage of fusion, and he must be a demon king in the demon realm.

Shen Songyue first asked Chu Qing, Gu Lingxiao, and Qi Ran to sit down, and then sat across from the man, and said very politely and distantly: "Thank you, Demon Lord Zhaohan, for sitting in the territory for me these few days and clearing up the traitors on your behalf. Songyue will definitely fulfill it within a few days."

Demon Lord Zhaohan... Qi Ran has heard this name before, and he is a special existence in the Demon Realm. His father is the suzerain of the largest sect in the Demon Realm, the Ten Thousand Demon Sect. His cultivation base is in the same realm as Xuanjing and Xuanzhen, and they are both compatible. In the later period, Ji Zhaohan, as his only son, was also a long-established genius in magic cultivation.

A few years ago, at the age of only over 180 years old, he broke through from the transformation stage to the fusion stage, more than 20 years earlier than his father.

With the speed of his cultivation, it is only a matter of time before he replaces his father, but the relationship between father and son should be pretty good. No fixed place.

I don't know what kind of karmic meeting, this Zhaohan Demon Lord seems to have known Shen Songyue for a long time, and he has fallen in love with him--it is not surprising that he is in love, it is amazing to say that Shen Songyue is over 60 years old The sword cultivator in the middle stage of transformation is several times more talented than Ji Zhaohan. In Qi Ran's eyes, his little brother is not much worse than Gu Lingxiao.

After hearing Shen Songyue's words, Ji Zhaohan's face was not good-looking at all, "You can get rid of the traitors anytime, you don't need to rush for seven days, why, are you afraid that I will delay you here?"

As soon as he finished speaking, he stood up, looked coldly at the few people present, and finally his eyes stayed on Qi Ran.

Qi Ran: "...?" What, what's wrong?

Ji Zhaohan looked away without saying a word, and left.

Shen Songyue let him come and go, raised her hand and called two maids to come in, and poured tea for the three of them, "Sorry, I made you laugh."

After the maid retreated, Shen Songyue didn't try to be polite, and directly cut to the key topic, saying: "In the past few years, as the Demon Lord of the New Moon, I have tracked down clues through the power network on the side of the Demon Gate, hunted down, and searched for clues. I lost more than a dozen orthodox monks who participated in the extermination of our sect, and finally found out the identity of the former chief envoy——Chaoyinxianzun, the previous suzerain of Hehuanzong. She had some ambiguous relationship with Qingping Daoist of Shangxuanzong. Xuanzhen is the biggest accomplice driven by her."

Chaoyin-Xige.Qi Ran immediately connected the two names.

Shen Songyue continued: "Chaoyin resigned as the suzerain of the Acacia Sect at the age of 350, and ascended to the top at the age of 20 with the cultivation base of the Mahayana period. The outside world thought she had already fallen, but I don't know how she left her life and survived all the way. It has been more than a hundred years, until now. And [-] years ago, just when Daoist Qingping retreated and made an impact, for some reason, she suddenly urged Xuanzhen to collude with Shenfengzong, Danxiazong and other sects who are more obsessed with fame and fortune. The cultivators above Huashen, together with some of her own Demon Sect forces, and the hired Demon Sect killers, killed Jianzong together."

Afterwards, it was Chaoyin who killed Yundeng and rewarded Xuanzhen with the remnant soul of Yundeng, while those precious spirit herbs, spirit swords and spirit stones were divided up by fellow monks clean.

Chaoyin's timing was really vicious, and her scheming was really deep.

Because there are quite a few orthodox sects that Xuanzhen dragged into the water, even though those cultivators in the transformation stage were questioned after returning to their sects, the more prestigious sects, the better at weighing pros and cons. They clearly expose the good deeds of their own sect There was no benefit in going out, so even if there were any flaws in the disk, they silently chose to cover them up.

Xuan Jing in the past also found clues from Xuan Zhen, but followed by the failure of Qingping's ascension and the succession of Xuan Jing in the imperial edict. The situation between the old and the new was extremely unstable. It is already exhausted, and it is really impossible to pursue it further.

Therefore, the matter of Jianzong's extermination of the family gradually became an unsolved case under the tacit understanding of the high-level officials of the righteous way.

It is impossible to imagine how much effort Shen Songyue has put in these years to find out the truth one by one while saving his life.

Looking at Shen Songyue's pale face, Qi Ran silently clenched his fists.

Shen Songyue turned her head and gave him a consoling smile, "Okay, let's talk about this in advance, how to deal with Chaoyin and Xuanzhen still needs to be considered in the long term. The situation is changing during this period, let's take a look at what happened today. How the power wants to execute the chess piece."

"Okay!" Qi Ran nodded vigorously to Shen Songyue.

Shen Songyue stood up and personally arranged maids, courtyards, food and living, etc. for them. After explaining everything, she said: "Senior Chu, Zhenjun Lingxiao, if you have any orders, just call me to come and deal with them. Most people are not as elegant and meticulous as Daomen, so please forgive me if you are negligent."

Chu Qing nodded, smiled and put the eager Xiaobai into Shen Songyue's arms, and went to rest.

Gu Lingxiao pursed his lips, and thanked him again very politely: "Thank you Songyue Jianjun for coming to rescue today, Gu Mouming thank you."

"No, I broke your natal spirit sword a few months ago. Logically speaking, I should apologize to you." Shen Songyue's tone was also quite polite, "At the same time, I also thank Zhenjun Ling Xiao for taking care of Xiao Ran during this time. , about the Zheyue Sword, we owe you a favor."

"..." Qi Ran coughed hard, tugged on Shen Songyue's sleeve, and smiled at Gu Lingxiao, "Ling Xiao, you go to rest first, I will come to you later."

Gu Lingxiao lowered his eyes and nodded slightly.

Qi Ran wasn't sure if Gu Lingxiao was jealous, but just as he was thinking about it, he felt Shen Songyue grabbing his shoulders.

"Let's go, Xiao Ran, I'll take you to see where I live," Shen Songyue lowered her head and smiled at Qi Ran, "I also prepared some things for you."

Before Qi Ran could answer, Shen Songyue hugged Xiao Bai with one arm, and wrapped him in the other, and moved to another palace room in the blink of an eye.

This palace room is completely different from the ones just now, only black and white, black beams and pillars, white pillows, bed curtains, it is clearly in the afternoon at this time, still exudes a strong sense of desolation.

It's more like a mourning hall than a living room.

Qi Ran was stunned when he saw it, and looked up at Shen Songyue: "Little senior brother..."

Shen Songyue closed her eyes, and when she opened them again, there was only a touch of tenderness in those eyes, "Come on."

He let go of Qi Ran's shoulders, and led him through the entire dormitory, into the dark room hidden behind the mechanism.

In the not-so-large dark room, with candles burning, Shen Songyue clearly knew that there was no underworld in this world, but she still erected a memorial tablet for the deceased and offered incense.

The number of Jianzong's population is not considered prosperous, counting the lineage of the master and uncle, there are more than ten people in total, one of them is vacant, and there are still residual seals left over the years, Qi Ran knows that what was placed there should be Own.

Qi Ran silently knelt down with Shen Songyue, and Xiao Bai also turned into a human figure with his mouth puckered and tears in his eyes, and he kowtowed heavily nine times.

After the worship, Shen Songyue didn't let them stay inside, picked up Xiao Bai, and took Qi Ran straight to the courtyard outside the hall.

The sun is shining brightly in the courtyard, the trees are lush and green, and the branches and leaves are blown by the wind, leaving behind a whirling sound.

Qi Ran was still stuck in depression and couldn't get out, but Shen Songyue raised her hand and scratched Qi Ran's nose: "I haven't seen you for so long, are you going to make me cry when you come here?"

Qi Ran looked at Shen Songyue—his little brother, his smile was still the same as before, but after he lost weight, his outline became deeper and sharper, and he no longer had the willful flair like a spring breeze.

Qi Ran bit his lip and said in a low voice: "Little brother, I miss you so much."

Shen Songyue was startled, then shook her head and laughed: "Why... are you going to pull me to cry together? I have never cried in these years."

He said so, but now he turned his head and blinked his eyes in a little embarrassment.

The warm yellow sunlight passed through the gaps in the shade, vaguely outlining his delicate and tough jaws and slowly rolling Adam's apple.

Xiaobai immediately put his arms around his neck: "Yueyue! Yueyue doesn't cry! Yueyue... woo-wah--"

Before he could say a few words, he cried louder than anyone else, which actually made Qi Ran and Shen Songyue laugh.

"Okay, okay, Xiaobai! Don't cry, don't cry, Yueyue isn't crying anymore!" Shen Songyue wiped her eyes and rubbed Xiaobai's head with a smile.

After a while, Xiaobai finally had enough of sobbing and crying, and the emotions of the two brothers and sisters finally calmed down.

"Don't talk about sad things," Shen Songyue took out teacups, snacks, and dried fish, and put them on the jade table under the tree, "Xiao Ran, tell me about your past years."

Qi Ran still couldn't tell the existence of the system, but he could talk about being a sword spirit. He told Shen Songyue about his experience in detail, but at the end, he was still a little shy and embarrassed "...Little brother, I, I still like Gu Lingxiao very much, um, don't tease him, he looks cold, but inside... he is very fragile."

"Pfft——" Shen Songyue had listened carefully with her chin resting on her chin, but now she burst out laughing, "Cough cough cough, when he fought me a while ago, he didn't see any weakness! He was scheming and paranoid. The spiciness is quite obvious."

Qi Ran himself blushed a little, he hesitated and said: "Then what...he's pretty good, really, just don't worry."

Shen Songyue propped her forehead, tilted her head and looked at Qi Ran with a smile: "Our Xiao Ran has grown up and understands love! Speaking of which, Bai Ye and the second senior brother should have talked to you already? I still remember , Back then, in the whole division, only you and Xiaobai foolishly thought that they were good brothers."

"..." Qi Ran was speechless, silently lowered his head and gnawed a snack, and then said weakly after a while, "He, they are so restrained outside, and their behavior is not as obvious as those men and women who pursued you back then..."

Shen Songyue raised her hand and patted his forehead, "Sure enough, I have grown up and learned to pay attention to your brother's love affairs."

Qi Ran blinked at him: "Little senior brother, what happened to that Demon Lord Zhaohan?"

"He," Shen Songyue sighed, and poured another cup of tea for herself, "He used to be one of those men and women you mentioned, but 20 years ago, he learned by chance that Chaoyin mobilized Moxiu to encircle and suppress Jianzong. That day... I was able to escape from birth, thanks to him covering me up. Later, the reason why I was able to re-enter the magic path and recover my cultivation base was that my spiritual power was completely crippled. , also has him to help me protect the Dharma and guide me.”

"Although I did a lot of things to try to repay him later, but..." Shen Songyue lowered her eyes and sipped her tea, "The debt of love is hard to repay. I have rejected his wishes many times. He said he was right to me." I have no thoughts, but who will believe this? Even people like you who met him for the first time can’t be fooled. This trip to pick you up is the same. As soon as Xuan Jing had an accident, he ran over immediately, and his reaction speed can be compared with I compared myself."

Qi Ran was dumbfounded, and could only say: "This... he insists on being obsessed with you, and no one can stop him."

"Let him go, no matter who he likes, it's his freedom." Shen Songyue stuffed another piece of pastry into Qi Ran's mouth, and asked him with a smile, "Is it delicious? Many of the pastries stored in the past have gone bad. I went to buy some new ones a few days ago, and this one is said to be the latest one.”

The fresh citrus taste exploded in his mouth, Qi Ran nodded vigorously: "Delicious!"

Qi Ran was happily fed by Shen Songyue, but he didn't know that outside this courtyard, there were always two eyes watching them from afar.

Ji Zhaohan sat on the roof of the adjacent hall, knowing that Shen Songyue knew that he was spying on them.

"The latest model nowadays..." Ji Zhaohan sneered in a low voice, "The majestic Crescent Moon Demon Venerable mixed up with mortals and queued up for an hour just to buy broken pastries. Toothless! Shen Songyue, Shen Songyue, I haven’t seen a normal smile on your face for more than 20 years, and I haven’t seen you shed a single tear. In front of your sweetheart, can you cry and laugh?”

What Shen Songyue said just now was half explaining to his little junior brother who had lost and recovered, and half was clearly speaking to him and showing him what to do.

Ji Zhaohan, are you still determined?

"Do you think I don't want to give up..." Ji Zhaohan murmured, squeezed tightly the jade slip that recorded Shen Songyue's smile in his hand, the expression on his face was slightly distorted, "Don't you also not give up on your little one? ?"

Even Shen Songyue herself didn't know that the "Xiao Ran" he muttered when he was dying was actually remembered by Ji Zhaohan all the time, and he misunderstood it as the moonlight in Shen Songyue's lingering heart.

Seeing the willow twigs on the moon, Qi Ran was fed by Shen Songyue so much that he couldn't hold on any longer, so he reluctantly stood up: "Little brother, it's getting late, I'll go back first——Xiao Bai, what do you want today?" Are you sleeping with Yueyue?"

Xiaobai was tired from sitting just now, and he has turned into a dog shape and dozed off on the jade table. Hearing this, he was shocked, and quickly said: "Mmmm!"

Shen Songyue hugged Xiao Bai into her arms with a smile, and teased Qi Ran: "Are you in a hurry to go back to see your little lover? Do you want me to take you back?"

Qi Ran quickly shook his head: "No, no, no, no! Little brother! We agreed not to tease him!"

Shen Songyue looked up at the sky, but turned a deaf ear: "It's really getting late, go back quickly."

Qi Ran is very aware of Shen Songyue's temperament, this appearance is obviously: I know, but I still don't trust that kid.

Qi Ran always felt that every time Shen Songyue mentioned Gu Lingxiao's expression, it looked like... an old man who couldn't get used to his son-in-law anyway.

——That's right, since I was eight years old, I was brought up by Shen Songyue, so it's not surprising that he has this attitude.

Nonsence!No, I am the son-in-law!

Qi Ran returned to his courtyard with a tangled expression, and saw that the living room was lit with lights, so he knew that Gu Lingxiao must be waiting for him.

Sure enough, as soon as he stepped on the threshold, he saw Gu Lingxiao turned around to look at him, "Xiao Ran?"

"Why are you standing?" Qi Ran walked over and held out his hand, which was as cool as ever, "Let's go, let's go to the study, I remember there is a soft couch, it's more comfortable to sit on."

Gu Lingxiao let Qi Ran pull him, and let Qi Ran sit down on the soft couch by pressing his shoulders. He was very cute, and asked him softly: "Why did you come back so early? You have such a deep relationship with Songyue Jianjun , I haven't seen you for so long, we should talk more."

Qi Ran stood in front of him, bent over with his hands behind his back and smiled at him: "Aren't you still waiting for me?"

Gu Lingxiao lowered his head and said softly: "I'm fine. Xiao Ran, I'm sorry..."

Qi Ran was stunned: "Ah? Sorry? Sorry for what?"

Gu Lingxiao was silent for a while, and then said: "Songyue Sword Lord probably doesn't like me very much, right? I'm in trouble now, and I'm not strong enough, so I can't protect you at all."

"This...he doesn't dislike you." Qi Ran didn't expect Gu Lingxiao to say this at all, and racked his brains for a long time, "And if you want to say that you are troubled and weak, I am the one! You are still in the devil's realm. I've built some foundations, and I've got nothing."

Qi Ran raised his hand to touch his nose, and laughed at himself, "I want to have no cultivation, no power, no power, without you, let alone reuniting with my little brother, I'm afraid I'm not even sure about the direction of investigation." I can't figure it out." When Siji first reunited with Gu Lingxiao, he wanted to hide away from him, and even hesitated to go with him.

"Xiao Ran," Gu Lingxiao took Qi Ran's hand, sat on the soft couch, looked up at him, and turned the rhetoric into the most straightforward whisper, "No, you will always have me, no matter Where are you, what are you doing, whether you like me or hate me, I will do my best to find you and be with you."

Forever... This guy said forever again.

Qi Ran lifted up Gu Lingxiao's long hair scattered around his cheeks, and gently pinned it behind his ears for him, "Ling Xiao, don't say anything that can protect me, and don't worry about gains and losses. If you like me, I am very happy." Be happy, don't always put yourself in a low position just because you like me."

"But Xiao Ran," Gu Lingxiao looked at Qi Ran firmly, his eyes were like the surface of a lake reflecting the stars, gentle like water, but also bright and moving, making people unable to look away, "I don't just like you, I love you. "

Qi Ran paused.

Gu Lingxiao took Qi Ran's hand that was resting next to his ear, and slowly put it on his chest, his voice was hoarse and magnetic, "I don't want to worry about gains and losses, but I can't restrain myself, Xiao Ran, I'm worried that you will I look down on me because of Songyue Jianjun, I am worried that you will exclude me because your enemy is too powerful, I am worried that you will—"

Qi Ran forcefully pulled out the hand that was pressed by Gu Lingxiao's chest, and in his moment of loss, he held his face and kissed it.
