——What if my life is doomed to be short-lived?

Yan Jue thought so, but he didn't say it directly.He gently pressed his side face against Xue Lan's warm and heaving chest, squinted his eyes and rested on the pillow for a little while, before he calmly and slowly said: "Listen to what I have to say first."

Because Xue Lan wrapped her hands and feet around him, she seemed to agree reluctantly: "...then you go ahead."

"The reason why I insisted on staying in Shaoling Restaurant alone today and waiting for Gu Hebai's return is because I had doubts about one thing from the beginning to the end." Yan bullied, "And it turns out that my suspicions were true—we were at the bottom of the Valley of Xinxin that day. Seeing Ren Suiqian chopping up Yuan Jingzhan's wandering soul on the spot with a Liguidao, in fact, that 'Ren Suiqian' is just a skin used for camouflage, and the real thing inside is Gu He Bai's soul."

Xue Lan frowned and said, "But killing people and taking their skins, isn't it a disgusting thing that only Zhu Fengmen can do?"

"At first, I couldn't figure it out. Yuan Jingzhan is indeed dead. In the bottom of the whole Xinxin valley, who else would be a member of Zhufengmen, who can wield the ghost sword and manipulate Ren Suiqian with ease?"

"Gu Hebai?" Xue Lanyin blurted out, "So Gu Hebai is from Zhufengmen?"

"After that, I just guessed randomly on the surface. After all, the land of Xixin Valley was dug so deep, what kind of monsters and ghosts can there be under there?" Yan Jue narrowed his eyes and said in a deep voice, "Until today I heard the restaurant guy mention that. With the giant stone knife that Auntie Bin Feng tossed about in a hurry, and the fact that I bumped into Shen Miaozhou and Gu Hebai on the street beforehand, I began to be sure that the Liguidao was really held and used by Gu Hebai."

Xue Lan stared at him because of deep resentment, and said in a strange way: "It's really true... My master is wise and powerful, and he has no plans."

Yan Jue said helplessly: "...I'm going to listen to someone in the corner, if I want to take you with me, what will it be like?"

Xue Lan rolled his eyes and said: "Yes, yes, you old man listens to the corner of the wall, and always rushes at people's faces horizontally, holding up the sword to listen, and listening while cutting."

"you……"

"Then dare to ask our shrewd and capable Master, what good things have you heard?"

"The damage to the Li Gui Dao's body was caused by Ya Ling's cold air. That is to say, it was Gu Hebai himself who killed Yuan Jingzhan at the bottom of Xixin Valley that day." Yan Jue said in a bad mood, "From the beginning to the end, It is he who is acting as a demon alone, Shen Miaozhou and Mo Fuqiu may not know about it."

"...Huh?" Xue Lan was obviously taken aback, "He tossed back and forth by himself, can he cause any big waves?"

Yan Jue sighed: "If he is only the deputy head of the Lingtai Yijian Sect, then he will definitely not be able to be lifted."

"What do you mean?"

"When we were fighting today, I took the opportunity to take off his veil." Yan Jue raised his eyes lightly, and his cold and dark eyes went straight into Xue Lanyin's eyes without any concealment, "Do you know what he looks like?"

Xue Lan laughed loudly: "What does it look like, with three eyes and five mouths?"

"His appearance is about seven or eight percent similar to yours."

Xue Lan froze instantly because of all the smiles on her face.

—Dare to ask... Mr. Xue, has he been to Guli Town in the north many years ago?

——Brother Lan Yin's appearance...is very similar to an old friend Zhe Huan met in Guli Town in the past.

——Then do you have any relatives who look similar to you?

"Master, I..."

Xue Lan moved her lips with extreme difficulty, as if she wanted to say something.However, under panic, his throat was so hoarse that he couldn't make a sound.

Yan Jue put his hands on his ears, and said in a very clear voice, "I know what you're thinking—do you think that Gu Hebai might be a long-lost relative of yours?"

Xue Lan said in a daze, "Yes..."

"Coincidences do exist, but you are not so lucky." Yan said bullyingly, "Since Gu Hebai has been on the sidelines of Zhufengmen, it is very likely that what he is wearing on his body is just a piece of human skin."

Hearing these words in this way, it really makes people shudder.Xue Lan's complex and terrified heart slammed back to the original place again, and the ups and downs during the process were too great to add.

"He wraps himself in a big hat and long black gauze every day, unwilling to show his true face to others, I think, probably even Shen Miaozhou and Mo Fuqiu, who are closest to him, don't know what he looks like - only from this point of view Look, the human skin on his body must have a reason why it cannot see the light." Yan Jue caught a glimpse of Xue Lan's sluggish expression because he was out of his mind, and immediately got up and bent his elbows to hit his chest, annoyed and funny Said, "Now you listen to me and miss what I'm talking about. You won't have a chance to say anything in the future. Don't blame me for keeping everything boring."

"Hey, hey, I'm listening, I didn't miss a word!" Xue Lan held him down in a hurry, and at the same time muttered regretfully and reluctantly, "Didn't I lie down just now, and I didn't have a thorn in my arms... ..."

After his rotten mouth said, Yan Jue originally wanted to nest back, but now he felt that it was very inappropriate, so he simply lifted the quilt and sat back beside the pillow, folded his arms and said casually: "Anyway, it's almost the same. Right now, it doesn't matter whose skin Gu Hebai is wearing. The important thing is that he used to be a member of the Northwest Zhufeng Sect. Naturally, he is not a problem in dealing with human skin. So I am worried that he has worked hard before To lead you down to follow Yuan Jingzhan, you must have tampered with the human skin of Jielong Yin, otherwise it would be ridiculous for those two Baiwu people to take advantage of it and go back."

"It seems to be like this... He went down to the ground for no reason, and handed over the Jielong Seal to others, and he didn't even touch it." Xue Lanyin said thoughtfully, "At that time, I was still thinking that he had been Nesting in the ground, playing tricks and disappearing, what on earth are you here for? Now that you say it, you can see something strange... Gu Hebai is so rich in the city, he must not be willing to make a loss-making business , At that time, the Jielong Seal was close at hand, if he didn't add fuel to it, he would definitely not let it go."

"Yeah..." Yan Hua let out a long breath, and said as if relieved, "You can understand now, why I didn't want you to be overly involved when I started to investigate the whole thing from the very beginning, right?"

The long 16 years have not allowed him to let go of Xue Lanyin's death.

——It was a nightmare that he replayed repeatedly day and night.Even though Xue Lanyin has returned to his side as he wished, she still lingers by his side day after day after facing the heartache of parting, and there is no end to it.

If this kind of experience happened a second time, Yan Jue himself would probably not be far from death.

"With all due respect, Master, I... can't understand."

Very straightforward, Xue Lan answered Yan Jue's question in this way.Then he stretched out his arms again, hooked them between Yan Jue's arms, and directly picked up the whole person horizontally, and fished him into his lap logically.

"What are you doing again? Take your hands away!" Yan Jue was negligent for a while, and was treated like this by his dog apprentice. He felt embarrassed and annoyed at the moment, and shouted again and again, "What I just said to you was in vain? I tried my best to give you a piece of cake." The dog is thinking about it, and you still say you can’t understand it?”

"Just don't understand."

Apprentice Dog was surprisingly presumptuous and daring today, relying on the fact that his master was wounded and unable to resist, he simply did nothing, pulled down the bed curtain with one hand, extinguished the candle, kicked his legs and rolled up the quilt to cover him The waists of the two of them twisted and crookedly wrapped around Yan Jue, and they lay back on the pillow.

In this way, shoulder to shoulder, nose tip to nose tip, each other's breathing and heartbeat are clearly audible.

"In the past, it was me who was ignorant and reckless, always causing you to risk your life to save you. From now on, I will protect you. No matter what happens in the future, I will always be by your side. Where are you going? , I’ll follow wherever I go.”

The inside and outside of the small house that lost the light of the fire was pitch black, only the quiet high-altitude of the outskirts of the city reflected inwards the dark blue like water ripples through the dilapidated paper windows.

Yan Jue's angry face was completely hidden in the endless night, and after a while, all that was left was the inexhaustible anxiety and pain in his heart.

"What stupid things are you talking about?" He couldn't help asking, "What protection do I want from you? I just hope that you can stay away from right and wrong as soon as possible, and stop getting involved with these things."

Xue Lanyin said casually: "That's pretty simple, if you don't care, I won't care either."

Yan Jue sneered, and mocked back: "It's quite simple. We don't care about it, just eat and drink here, and wait for Gu Hebai to come and collect the body."

"Yeah, it's all like this, what else can we do? Gu Hebai has been in charge of the Lingtai One Sword Sect for more than ten years, a mere human skin is nothing, and the other things in his hands are too numerous to count." Xue Lan grabbed Yan Jue's wrist, planned and analyzed solemnly in his palm, "Master, you are always ready to let me hide and stay away from right and wrong, and then you go and confront him head-on-but in this world, there are absolutely Is there a safe place? Of course not! So just avoiding him won't solve the problem completely..."

Yan Jue squinted at him and said, "Then what do you want?"

Xue Lan smiled and said very clearly: "Since your old man has exposed Gu Hebai's background in one go... where do you want to go for a walk next, and report to the apprentice?"

Yan Jue closed his eyes, and said calmly, "...it was agreed before, let's go back to the bamboo forest."

"You want to lie to me again!" Xue Lanyin immediately turned the corner to expose him, "You want to lock me back in the bamboo forest, and then run out by yourself?"

Yan Jue was still indifferent, without changing his face, he said: "I didn't lie to you."

Xue Lan groaned and said: "Okay, okay, you didn't lie to me. Those who lie to me are all vixen, okay?"

"Presumptuous!" Yan Jue asked in a cold voice, "Who taught you to talk to Master like this?"

Xue Lan said with a smile: "You didn't lie to me, and I didn't accuse you. What's so presumptuous?"

Yan Jue narrowed his narrow eyes slightly, seeing that he was about to turn his face in the next moment, Xue Lan quickly stopped smiling, and went forward to hug Master's shoulder and said, "Okay, okay, Master, why don't we fight each other?" Discuss. You let me guess where you plan to go next—if you guess right, you have to take me with you wherever you go, eat, bathe and sleep, and never leave. "

Yan Jue said mercilessly: "What if you guess wrong?"

Xue Lanyin said: "Then I'll go back to the Liashui Bamboo Forest by myself, and I won't come out without your permission."

"Okay... then you can guess."

Xue Lan turned around because of those pitch-black peach blossom eyes, and immediately bullied Yan with confidence: "In my opinion, there is something wrong with the Jielong Seal in Gu Hebai's hands, and you have been skeptical about it all the time. In order to confirm the truth, I will first go to the Baiwu tribe in the Northern Territory to personally inspect the human skin... Tell me, am I right?"

Yan Jue didn't speak, half of his face was buried in the large shadow surrounded by the end of the night, and he couldn't see his expression clearly.

Xue Lan urged triumphantly, "Master?"

"...You guessed wrong." Yan Jue turned over on his side and put him on the bed, and drove him away without looking back, "Get lost."

"Hiss...why are you like this?" Due to the sudden confusion, Xue Lan rushed up to grab his arm and said, "Hey! Hey, Master!"

"Go away."

"You are simply... Oh, my master, how old are you, you always lie to children, is it interesting?"

Yan Jue sneered, not knowing which words just pierced his heart again, he gritted his teeth even more and said: "...How old am I? I know it myself!"

"No, no, no, no?!" Xue Lanyin immediately said in fear, "Master, you...you are as beautiful as a flower, and you will remain young forever! Master, I really know that I was wrong!...Master!"
