Yu Hongchen

After they quarreled, Shang Lixing returned to Qiushuimen alone, and continued to deal with the previous affairs.

He never delays his business due to personal affairs, and he starts to devote himself to the usual routine as soon as he returns to Qiushuimen, but he has some inexplicable irritability in his heart, and his mind always wanders to unknown places.

At dawn, before he had finished reading the letter in hand, someone from the outside of the yard came to report that it was Beast King Danwu who had come to say goodbye.

Shang Lixing regained his composure and ordered Sanxiu to welcome Danwu in.

Dan Wu raised a pair of thick eyebrows, walked in and said: "Master Shang, I don't have much fun staying in Nanling, I'm going back to see my clansmen."

Shang Lixing asked: "Are you going to stop your struggle with the demon master Zhong Lian?"

Dan Wu resentfully said: "That old boy is very tyrannical now, I won't fight him head-on, after a few years my cultivation level will improve, I will definitely be able to beat him to pieces."

Shang Lixing said: "In order to rescue their young master, the demons should attack Nanling in the near future. When you go back, you can check their actions in Beilu by the way."

Dan Wu said: "Okay, aren't you going to set up an formation in Silu? Then just send people to the barren valley in the North Land, and I will help you protect the formation."

Shang Lixing thought for a while and said, "That's fine."

"By the way, where did brother go?" Dan Wu asked before leaving.

Shang Lixing remained silent.

Seeing his expression, Dan Wu guessed that something happened between the two of them, and he couldn't help persuading him: "Master Shang, Brother Xiaochen actually suffered a lot. He slept and read every day when he was in Zhoujia Village. You said sorry by name. If he really did something wrong, it was because he was afraid that you would be angry. He really has you in his heart. "

Shang Lihang lowered his head: "Well, I know."

"Hey, I can't take care of the affairs between you, I still need to do the affairs of my own clan." Dan Wu waved his hand and walked out of the study door, with a distant voice, "Farewell, Master Shang. "

As soon as he left on his front foot, what he realized came again on his back foot.

"Brother, are you not going to practice swords anymore?"

Shang Lixing put down the pen in his hand and said, "We may need to find another sword repairer."

"Brother wants to replace the kid surnamed Xie?"

"Because of nostalgia for the past, his mind is heavy, and he can no longer practice swords like before."

"But—" He Suowu's eyes flickered.

"Speak up if you have something to say, don't hesitate." Shang Lixing understood his hesitant expression and said.

He Suowu pursed his lips and said, "He is a good swordsman. There are very few such swordsmen in Nanling."

Shang Lixing smiled faintly: "I remember, you used to dislike him the least, but now you speak well of him."

He Suowu said: "One moment is another moment. For the sake of Nanling, he should not be hastily replaced."

Shang Lixing smiled.He Suowu's ability to let go of his dissatisfaction with Xie Liuchen for the sake of the righteousness of the human race can be regarded as taking the overall situation into consideration.In his thoughts, He Suowu said again: "On the contrary, that disciple of Yunshan Sword Sect has some problems."

Shang Lixing understood: "You mean Junior Brother Fang?"

He Suowu faltered and said: "...this disciple is a bit weird."

Shang Lixing nodded: "Yes, I know. But there is nothing unusual for the time being, so it's better not to ask him directly, lest Junior Brother Fang think that the Qiushui Gate is neglecting the guests. During the time he is in the gate, you should pay more attention to him. What's wrong? Tell me in time."

"it is good."

Shang Lixing thought again: "It seems that the establishment of the sword array still needs the participation of Junior Brother Xie, so that's good, he will still come back."

Thinking like this, he knew clearly in his heart that the so-called sword practice was just a pretense, he just wanted to find an excuse for himself to look forward to his return.

He was certain in his heart, and enlightened to He Suo: "Okay, then practice sword after Junior Brother Xie comes back, you don't have to go to the back mountain in the morning."

After He Suowu left, Shang Lixing sat in the study and dealt with business as usual. At noon, he dealt with the letter sent by the doorman. Hearing that Xie Liuchen hadn't come back, he was restless.

He frowned deeply: "He hasn't come back yet?"

The doorman said: "No, brother Xie has not come back since last night."

Hearing the words, Shang Lixing couldn't help thinking: "Where will he go? Where can he go? Could it be—"

He was suddenly startled: "By the way, he said last night that he was going to seek revenge from Fu Changning. How could he be Fu Changning's opponent based on his current state of losing all sword intent?"

Horrified, he stood up abruptly, with beads of sweat dripping from his forehead, and quickly thought: "Maybe this guy is trying to get angry with me, he just hid."

He breathed a sigh of relief and sat down again.

His actions made the doorman standing by the door puzzled.

Shang Lixing waved his hand: "It's okay, let's go out first."

He put away the messy thoughts in his mind and forced himself to concentrate on the letter.

When the sun was setting, Xie Liuchen hadn't returned yet, and the restless Shang Lixing finally confirmed that Xie Liuchen had gone to Zhoujia Village.He couldn't convince himself any longer, so he left the letter in hand and went to find someone.

Shang Lihang left the study room, and hurriedly left a sentence to the doorman: "I'll go out first." Then he hurriedly walked out of the Qiushui Gate, and rushed towards the Zhou Family Village in the mortal world.

When we arrived at Zhoujia Village, the sky was completely dark. When we looked up, we could see the dark shadows of the mountains and forests, the shadows of the trees whirling, and the hoarse crows of crows could be vaguely heard.Shang Lixing hurriedly came to Fu Changning's tomb, and saw that the tomb was surrounded by rocks and loess, potholes, and it was no longer as good as before.

Looking down with good eyesight, I saw a fallen earth wall on the left side of the cave, showing a dirty, black gap in one of them, leading to a cave not far away.

Fu Changning is not here.

Xie Liuchen was not here either.

"Where will people be?"

The more he couldn't find Xie Liuchen, the more he suffered.At this time, both of them were not here, so it was hard to guarantee that it was not Fu Changning who took them away.Perhaps, perhaps, Junior Brother Xie has encountered an accident?

As soon as this thought came out, Shang Lixing's eyes went dark, and his heart began to beat wildly.

This guy was driven away by his angry words, really willful and reckless.He hated the other party for concealing the matter of Qi Huan and Feng Guiyun from him, but, if the other party really died, then he would probably be depressed for the rest of his life.

This stupid little guy really made me love and hate him.

No, things might not be at their worst yet.He looked solemn, his eyes were on the passage emitting a strong stench, he swung his sleeves, and without touching the ground, he returned to the entrance of Zhoujia Village in an instant.

Shang Li walked dozens of steps, and suddenly stopped.

He frowned and lowered his eyes, smelling a faint smell of mud on the ground, the light in his eyes changed, and he chased after the smell all the way.

When I came to the woods outside the village, I heard the sound of gurgling water.Pushing aside the leaves, one can see a brook flowing under the shady trees.

Xie Liuchen's blue robe was randomly thrown aside,

People are not here.

Shang Lixing walked quickly to the stream, picked up his robe, but he saw that it was dirty and had a rotten smell from the tomb.Suddenly, his whole body became cold, and there was a loud bang in his head. He rushed to the stream, looked left and right, and shouted anxiously: "Thank you, junior brother! Thank you, junior brother! Where are you? Come out quickly, don't scare me!"

There was a sound of "crashing" water, and Shang Lixing looked back, only to see a wet head emerging from the bubbling stream, first with a smooth and white forehead, and then with a pair of dark eyes.

Those eyes were full of water vapor, looking at him timidly, the eyelids couldn't help blinking: "Senior Brother Shang?"

Shang Lixing's eyes tightened, three steps turned into one step, and he jumped into the creek regardless of his clothes being soaked.

His movements were like breaking a bamboo, stirring up the entire originally calm stream, Xie Liuchen was splashed with water droplets into his eyes, and was about to get up to wipe, but Shang Lixing had already rushed to his side, and dragged him out of the water Get up, hold his bare arm tightly, and said in a hoarse voice: "Do you know how worried I am about you? Do you know what I was thinking along the way? I thought you were dead, in Fu Changning's hands , I am afraid to see your dead body!"

Xie Liuchen was bluffed by him, and he couldn't even speak: "Shang...Senior Brother Shang?"

Shang Lixing's men pressed tighter, and stared at him tightly: "You just want to make me worry, right? You clearly know that I care about you, and I can't let you go, so you deliberately disturb my mind with this? Want to force me to take the initiative to reconcile with you?"

Speaking of the last sentence, he finally completely relaxed and regained his usual calmness.I also remembered that I had worried about him for a whole day and night for no reason, and even chased thousands of miles to Zhoujia Village to find his whereabouts, but this guy actually hid here to take a bath!

He suddenly became annoyed, feeling ridiculous for his unnecessary worry, let go of him, turned around and left.

Xie Liuchen is not stupid now. Doesn't Shang Lixing come to him mean that he still exists in his heart?If Shang Lixing was allowed to leave him again, it would be difficult to recover in the future.With one foot deep and one shallow foot in the stream, he hugged him tightly from behind and begged, "Senior Brother Shang! Don't go!"

Shang Lixing was hugged by him, and he stopped as expected.

Xie Liuchen rubbed his head against his back, and said in a flattering voice, "Senior Brother Shang, I'm sorry, I won't be impulsive in the future, and I won't lie to you again. Don't leave me, okay?"

He wasn't sure why the other party came to him, but since Shang Lixing would repeatedly violate the principle for him, it proved that he didn't care as much as he appeared on the surface.

He hugged Shang Lixing tightly, begging in a low voice.

Xie Liuchen felt a little uneasy as the figure in his embrace froze.

"Brother Shang?"

Feeling the wet clothes on his back, Shang Lixing took a deep breath, he turned around slowly, with a look that Xie Liuchen couldn't understand flashed in his eyes, and then he waved his hand and pulled him into his arms.

"……you win."

Xie Liuchen was hugged by him, surprised and delighted: "Brother Shang, did you forgive me?"

Shang Lixing said softly: "What can I do? The moment I heard that something might happen to you, my mood was exactly the same as that on Shuangdao Peak. Only then did I know that I really couldn't let go."

Xie Liuchen listened to what was in his heart, and hugged his neck almost weeping with joy: "I know, I know! I can't let you go, if you want me to leave you, it's better to let me die! What three months?" Five months, I don't care anymore, I want to be with you for the rest of my life!"

After finishing speaking, he raised his head, wrapped his hands around Shang Lixing's neck, and eagerly wanted to kiss him.

Shang Lixing's blood was also boiling, and he was about to respond to the kiss, when he suddenly smelled the faint smell of blood under the damp water vapor in his ear, and calmly pushed him away.

Xie Liuchen sensed something was wrong and quickly withdrew his hand.

"Your hand—" Shang Lixing's eyes touched his bloody hand, and his brows frowned.

Xie Liuchen struggled and stretched his hand behind his back, nana said: "It's okay, it's okay, it's just a small injury."

Shang Lixing forcefully opened his palms: "If you are injured, you still dare to touch the water, let me see!"

He lowered his head, looked at Xie Liuchen's scarred palms, his brows furrowed deeper and deeper, Xie Liuchen looked at him and smiled.

Shang Lixing glared at him: "Still laughing? Do you know that a day and a night have passed."

Xie Liuchen stared at him with piercing eyes, and reconfirmed: "You really forgive me?
