Only recognize this life, don't ask about the afterlife.

Perhaps in Xie An's view, the Xie Shuci in the afterlife is no longer Xie Shuci.

He doesn't remember everything that happened between the two of them, and there is nothing similar to this life. To each other, they are just ordinary people who have never masked their faces.

Xie Shuci is clear and understandable. Would a person like Xie An go to great lengths to find a Xie Shuci who doesn't know him at all? He will not.

As it turns out, he really doesn't.

Xie Shuci suppressed the choked sobs in his throat, in the silent room, in front of the silent Xiao Xun, he did not allow himself to make a sound. In front of him, Xie Shuci didn't want to appear so worthless, but it seemed that Xie Shuci had been so worthless since he met him.

"Aw..."

Daddy didn't let him get close, the king whimpered sadly, put his chin on the back of Xie Shuci's hand, and looked at Xie Shuci with worry in his watery eyes.

The tear of Xie Shuci was still hanging on Xiao Xun's face, he lowered his long eyelashes, looked at Xie Shuci who was curled up in the quilt with his back facing him, his heart was replaced by an unprecedented pain.

He slowly lay down beside Xie Shuci, put his forehead lightly on Xie Shuci's back, and wrapped his arms around Xie Shuci's waist, but unfortunately his arms were not as long as Xie An's, and could not fully Holding Xie Shuci in his arms is more like a child who wants to be cared for.

"Xie Shuci, I'm sorry." He murmured with a dry throat.

He wanted to comfort Xie Shuci, but besides being sorry, he didn't know what else he could do.

He hates Xie Shuci's tears, and is also afraid of Xie Shuci's tears.

"If Xie An offends you, can I apologize for him?" Xiao Xun muttered softly.

Xie Shuci felt as if his heart was about to be pulled out of his chest by a hand, he clenched his teeth, hoping to stop the tears.

"Xiao Xun."

After a while, Xie Shuci's hoarse voice came from under the quilt.

"Huh?" Xiao Xun raised his head, his eyes were slightly red.

Xie Shuci took a deep breath and tried to calm his voice, "I don't want to see Xie An during this time, can you keep him from waking up?"

Xiao Xunquan tightened his hand around Xie Shuci's waist, and said, "Okay, I promise you."

Xie Shuci breathed a sigh of relief, "Thank you."

Xie Shuci didn't want Xie An to know his worthless tears today, and he didn't want Xie An to stop him from going to the Xianmen general election.

Xie Shuci has no ability, can't change anything, and is afraid of death, but he never lacks the courage to die.

Knowing that he couldn't escape the catastrophe, he didn't want to waste time, and he didn't want to make himself regret it.

If, what if, at the Immortal Gate Conference, if he didn't die, would it be Xie An?

Xie Shuci dare not gamble, nor can he gamble.

Even if Xie An won't look for his reincarnation, that's okay, at least, they can still live together.

Xie Shuci stopped his tears and curled up quietly on the bed until his consciousness gradually fell asleep.

Not long after, the king and Xiao Xun breathed a sigh of relief at the same time when they heard the sound of Xie Shuci's even breathing coming from the quilt.

The king got up from the back of Xie Shuci's hand, and got under the quilt without saying a word.

It wondered why daddy became so depressed when he came back after seeing mother, it turned out that mother made him angry, and even made daddy cry! Hmph, it doesn't care about mother anymore, damn it!

It arched its buttocks and got into the quilt, then lifted the quilt with one hand, grabbed the back of its neck, and threw it directly under the bed.

"Oh!" The king gave the little mother a fierce look.

"Let him rest well."

"Oh!" The baby wanted to rest with his father.

Xiao Xun ignored him, supported Xie Shuci's shoulders, straightened his body, looked at his tear-stained face, couldn't help frowning, carefully wiped the tears on his face with his hands, and took off his coat and clothes for him. Shoes, covered with a quilt, set up a layer of enchantment around the bed, and then carried the king by the bed to the table.

He put his hand between the king's eyebrows, and the little milk dog in his hand turned into a four or five-year-old boy, with a tuft of red hair on his forehead that was particularly conspicuous.

"What happened." Xiao Xun threw it on the ground, the king habitually lay his whole body on the ground, and looked at him timidly with his big black eyes.

"I don't know." The king said guiltily.

He really didn't know, his mother had set up a barrier after waking up, and he didn't know what happened inside.

Xiao Xun narrowed his eyes and looked at him, "Get up."

"Oh."

Now that father is asleep and no one is protecting him in front of the little mother, the king is so cowardly, he dare not even breathe, he gets up from the ground with hands and feet, obediently stands beside Xiao Xun with his head down.

Xiao Xun pondered for a moment, he didn't know what he was thinking, but he didn't say a word, not daring to disturb.

After a long time, Xiao Xun raised his eyes to look at him, and the king's body tensed immediately, "I, I really don't know, mother set up a barrier, I don't know what they did."

"En." Xiao Xun responded.

His eyes looked up and down on the king, his whole body was dirty, like a small coal ball, Xie Shuci just hugged such a dirty thing in his arms every day?

The king didn't know what he was looking at, so he smiled at him with a face that was still stained with dried tears.

"Useless." Xiao Xun said abruptly.

The king's expression darkened.

Suddenly, Xiao Xun seemed to think of something, his expression froze, and he asked, "What is your name Xie An?"

The king looked innocent, "Mother."

Xiao Xun's face darkened.

The king said: "I call Daddy Daddy, and of course I want to call Mother Mother."

Xiao Xun clenched his teeth.

"But Daddy wants me to be called Brother, but I think Mother is better..."

As if he felt that the king was annoying and didn't get any useful information, he just waved his hand, and the king immediately turned back into a little milk dog.

Xie Shuci fell into a drowsy sleep this time, and had several dreams in a row. Finally, he dreamed that there was a strange man's voice circling in his ears. what did you say?

But he didn't hear a word clearly.

He fell into a deep sleep, his limbs were heavy, and his head was still a little unconscious.

Open your eyes, there is no light in the room, a ray of moonlight shines in from the window, quietly sprinkled in the room where you can't see your fingers.

"Xiao Xun?" Xie Shuci propped up his upper body, supported his drowsy forehead, and looked around. He seemed to be the only one in the room.

"Your Majesty? Where are you?"

You won't leave yourself and go, will you?

Xie Shuci lifted the quilt and sat on the side of the bed, suddenly remembered that he was crying in front of them, and felt a little embarrassed.

Damn, what are you crying for? What is there to cry about?

If you don't look for it, don't look for it. Anyway, no one will know anyone when the time comes. If he doesn't come to look for me, I don't care about it.

"Ciji."

Suddenly, the strange man's voice that appeared in the dream sounded in his mind again. Xie Shuci was stunned for a moment, and looked around suspiciously. He didn't notice the breath of other people. He hadn't woken up and misheard. Yet? strangeness.

It was this voice just now, and it seemed to have said something to him in a dream, but Xie Shuci did not hear a single word except his own name.

"Aw!"

At this moment, Xie Shuci heard the king's voice from outside the door, and it seemed that there was another person's very light footsteps.

Xie Shuci trembled all over, before he had time to think, he buried his head in the bedding, pretending that he hadn't woken up yet.

After a while, the door was pushed open from the outside, Xiao Xun and the king came in, turned around and closed the door.

Xie Shuci fell on the bed and his whole body was tense, not daring to move.

Xiao Xun held a tray in his hand, put the things on the table, and then walked over to Xie Shuci.

The king ran to the bed early in the morning, jumped on the footrest, and wanted to check the situation of Xie Shuci.

Xie Shuci panicked with embarrassment, and scolded himself in his heart, Xie Xiaoci, are you hypocritical? Crying like a dog in front of the two poor kids!

Xiao Xun walked slowly to the side of the bed, staring at Xie Shuci, whose body was stuffed under the quilt, with only a few strands of hair left outside, his eyes darkened, "I know you're awake, get up and eat something."

Xie Shuci froze and didn't move.

"Aw!"

The baby also knows that Daddy is awake.

Xiao Xun didn't pull him up directly, but said, "I cooked something for you."

Xie Shuci was taken aback, there was a rustling sound from the bed, and after a short while, a pair of red eyes that had obviously cried poked out from under the quilt.

"Did you cook it?" Xie Shuci looked at him a little timidly, but it was really novel.

Xiao Xun looked down at him, nodded, "Well, get up."

After speaking, he walked to the table and sat down as if nothing had happened, looking normal.

"Aww!"

The king stood on the footrest and wagged his tail vigorously at Xie Shuci twice, as if triumphantly asking for credit.

The baby also helped to light the fire!

Xie Shuci sat up from the bed hesitantly wrapped in a quilt, showing a round head, and looked curiously at the table, "What is it?"

"Come here, eat while it's hot." Xiao Xun said.

"Oh." Xie Shuci glanced at him, threw the quilt off his body, put on his shoes slowly and walked to the bed.

The king walked around Xie Shuci's footsteps, and when he saw Xie Shuci sitting down, he wanted to jump on the table, but Xiao Xun stared him down.

Xie Shuci looked at the noodles with clear soup and little water in front of him, and was momentarily at a loss for words.

"This... what did you do?"

Xiao Xun nodded, "It burns, I did it."

"Aww!"

The king yelled twice at his feet to attract Xie Shuci's attention.

Seeing Xie Shuci looking towards him, it immediately turned around, and pointed at Xie Shuci's butt, there was a burnt mark on it.

Xie Shuci couldn't help reaching out and rubbing, "Thank you."

Xiao Xun looked at him intently, "Taste how it tastes."

Well...that's... how should put it.

But judging from the appearance, it makes people very unappetizing. It can be seen that this is definitely his first time cooking.

"Okay." Xie Shuci nodded, lowered his head to pick up the chopsticks, picked up a few noodles, put them into his mouth, and chewed slowly. It was as expected, so bland that it was hard to swallow.

"How?" "Oh!"

But facing the expression on both faces asking for credit and wanting to praise, Xie Shuci bit the bullet and nodded, "Well, it's not bad, there is room for improvement."

One person and one dog let out a sigh of relief.

"Xie Shuci, no matter what I do, don't be angry with me anymore, okay?" Xiao Xun said suddenly.

Xie Shuci's expression froze, he lowered his head, took a bite, and said, "I'm not angry with you, but I don't want to see that Xie An is real for the time being."

Xiao Xun looked at him steadfastly, while Xie Shuci kept his head down, not looking into his eyes.

"Well, I promised you that if you don't want to see him, I won't let him wake up."

"Well. What about you? Don't you want something to eat?"

Xiao Xun said: "I don't need it, it..."

He glanced at the big king on the ground and said, "It doesn't seem to like eating this."

Xie Shuci: "..."

To be honest, I don't really like it either.

Xie Shuci still likes to eat something with a stronger taste, he suspects that Xiao Xun didn't put any seasoning in it at all, and just scooped up the noodles and came back.

At this moment, there was a sudden breath from outside the door, and then someone knocked on the door and asked, "Is Mr. Deng Si Deng there?"

Xie Shuci was stunned for a moment, "Ah, I'm here."

He put down his chopsticks and went to open the door.

Xiao Xun followed him to the door, his expression slightly displeased.

Xie Shuci opened the door and found Songjiu Battalion's soldiers standing outside.

Xie Shuci asked suspiciously: "Is there anything?"

The visitor said: "Today is our Songjiu Battalion's clean-up banquet. The big boss asked the little one to invite you over."

"Ask me?" Xie Shuci pointed to himself, surprised.

The visitor nodded, "It's you."

After speaking, he glanced behind Xie Shuci again.

Seeing the expressionless Xiao Xun behind him, the soldier panicked for some reason, and said with a sneer: "So this young man knew you, and the young man said that there are only your guests in the inn now, how could he not know Deng?" Where is the son?"

Xie Shuci asked curiously, "Have you seen it?"

The visitor said: "Yes, I was downstairs. I wanted to ask him about you, but when your name was mentioned, he said 'I don't know', and then left."

Xie Shuci touched the tip of his nose, but he didn't know it, he hadn't had time to tell Xiao Xun that his pseudonym was Deng Si.

"Young master Deng, the head of the family invites you to have a drink together. Look..."

Before Xie Shuci could reply, Xiao Xun interjected, "He won't go."

"How many of you haven't eaten yet? Why don't you go there together?"

"He eats..."

Xiao Xun wanted to say something else, Xie Shuci quietly pulled off his sleeve, "Then what, you go down first, we will come." "Good!"

After the people left, Xie Shuci closed the door and turned around to find Xiao Xun's face tensed and displeased.

"You don't like what I cook?"

Xie Shuci: "..."

"I like it, I like it very much."

The main reason is that like you, so love Wu Ji Wu.

"Then you're going to have dinner with someone else?"

Xie Shuci leaned one hand on his shoulder and said, "Anyway, I'm just going to grab a meal. It's not for nothing. Moreover, the leader of their Songjiu Battalion saw through that I was a cultivator, so I pretended to be a disciple of Xiaoyaomen to avoid causing him trouble."How can he treat us with no respect when he treats us to dinner?"

Xiao Xun frowned and said, "So what if your identity is exposed?"

"Are you really not afraid of anything?"

Xiao Xun looked at him fixedly, thinking, he also has something to be afraid of.

"Okay, okay." Taking advantage of Xiao Xun's stunned moment, Xie Shuci turned around and pushed him out of the door, tidied his hair and clothes, grabbed the king who was ready to go on the ground, "Let's go, let's go. It's a rare and exciting time, let's go."

Xiao Xun was reluctantly pushed forward by him, and the king echoed Xie Shuci, screaming wildly.

After walking out of the room, Xie Shuci heard the voices of people in the inn, presumably Xiao Xun set up an enchantment at the door before leaving to block the noise outside, so as not to disturb Xie Shuci's sleep.

Xie Shuci couldn't help but feel melancholy.

He didn't doubt how much Xie An liked him, but it was still unavoidable that when he heard his words, Xie Shuci had a feeling of being abandoned.

Forget it, think about it so much.

Xie Shuci shook his head, trying to get rid of Xie An's expression when he said these words, he didn't want to think about it.

Xie Shuci couldn't doubt the authenticity of what Xie An said.

"Oh?" The king lay in his arms, and touched Xie Shuci's arm with his paw in doubt.

Isn't dad not angry anymore?

Xie Shuci pressed down its paw, "Let's go, I'll take you to eat delicious food."

"Aw!"

In the lobby, several heads of the Songjiu Battalion and some soldiers were sitting inside drinking and eating meat. His eyes flicked across the crowd, and he saw Fang Xunxue sitting alone at a table by the window, and The chatter and laughter around him were different. He looked like a sheep that had strayed into a wolf's den, yet he seemed so calm and composed.

Xiao Xun frowned tightly when he saw this picture, and followed Xie Shuci with an increasingly unhappy expression.

Fang Xunxue seemed to have seen Xie Shuci, raised his eyes, a little smile appeared in his empty eyes, and waved to Xie Shuci.

Xie Shuci led the king and Xiao Xun to the table.

"Sit." Fang Xunxue said.

Xie Shuci nodded and sat down opposite.

Fang Xunxue stared at the king in his arms, and lightly hooked his fingers. The good-for-nothing little licking dog, the king, immediately jumped out of Xie Shuci's arms, and hopped into Fang Xunxue's arms.

Fang Xunxue teased the king, picked up a piece of beef and put it in front of the king, the king's eyes lit up, and he opened his dog's mouth to bite something, but he didn't know what he remembered, and his movements suddenly stopped, even if he was salivating at the meat in front of him, It was not eaten immediately either.

It touched Fang Xunxue with its paw, then pointed to the outside of the inn, "Oh!"

Has the senior eaten?

Fang Xunxue seemed to understand what it meant, and shook his head, "I haven't eaten Xingtie yet."

"Aw!" The king picked up the beef on the table, jumped off him, and ran out.

The baby wants to feed the seniors meat!

Fang Xunxue's eyes were smiling, like the dew of early spring, and his face was more like a daughter's soft color. If he hadn't already known his identity, it would be difficult for Xie Shuci to connect him with the various strong men in Songjiu Battalion.

Fang Xunxue leaned his elbows against the edge of the table, his body was soft and boneless, he looked up and saw Xie Shuci's worried eyes, and said: "Young master, don't worry, more contact with the iron is a matter of concern for it. Good thing."

Perhaps because of the light, the outline of Fang Xunxue's face looked softer under the dim candlelight. For a long time, people felt that the light spots were reflected in the empty eyes. Compared with the sick appearance during the day, he at this time A little more haunting style.

Even if he was placed in front of Luo Xianyu at this time, he might not be inferior.

Luoxian Yumei is beautiful, untouched by the mortal world, but Fang Xunxue in front of her has a sense of elegance and vulgarity. She is obviously a man, not only dressed like a woman, but even looks like a woman.

But it also made Xie Shuci feel very strange. He had seen many fake mothers on the Internet in the past. Some of them looked more like women than him in dress and demeanor, but they felt completely different from him.

He has the innocence and charm of a woman, but at the same time he has not lost the heroism of a man. No matter what kind of actions he makes, no matter how much he looks like a woman, his masculine features cannot be ignored. But in fact, just looking at him Nowhere on his body does he look like a man.

The collision of these two extreme features in him makes people feel astonishingly beautiful.

In the spirit of appreciation for beauty, Xie Shuci couldn't help but take an extra look at his face.

"Thank you for the letter."

A deep voice suddenly sounded in the ear.

Xie Shuci came back to his senses, and found that Xiao Xun's face was a bit gloomy, he hurriedly closed his eyes, he didn't dare to look again, and he was a little bit unconvinced, anyway, you don't want me if I die, so why don't I take another look at the beauty up?

Fang Xunxue supported her chin with one hand, her eyes became hollow again, "Eat something."

"okay."

Although Xie Shuci was unbalanced in his heart, he didn't dare to risk his life. He obediently lowered his head without taking another look at the opposite side, and buried his head in his meal.

"Who is this?" Fang Xunxue cast his eyes on Xiao Xun.

"Ah!" Xie Shuci raised his head at once, worried that if Xiao Xun just said "I am Xiao Xun", they would be finished.

"He, didn't he tell you during the day that I have a soul mate? He is that person's... brother." Xie Shuci finally paused.

Xiao Xun glanced at Xie Shuci, barely satisfied with his answer.

Fang Xunxue nodded, "I see, that must be a good-looking person."

Xie Shuci felt a little happy, "Yes, the two brothers look alike."

Fang Xunxue looked at Xiao Xun with focused eyes, and said with a smile: "If he is not young, I might still want to get to know him."

Xiao Xun's eyes sharpened, he almost raised his hand and wanted to draw the wooden sword on his body, Xie Shuci quickly pressed his hand, signaling him not to act rashly.

Xiao Xun gritted his teeth with a cold face, and turned his head to one side.

Fang Xunxue saw Xiao Xun's reaction, but he didn't seem to take it to heart, and said, "Actually, none of us have ever seen a cultivator."

Xie Shuci breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Maybe they have, but they didn't reveal their identities."

Fang Xunxue lowered his eyes and smiled, then raised his eyes again, and looked at Xie Shuci, with a faint gleam in his eyes, "Yes. I have heard that spiritual power is a very beautiful thing, like the surrounding people. It’s like the fairy mist around you.”

Speaking of this, Fang Xunxue paused for a moment, and asked Xie Shuci: "Do you know why I brought Song Jiuzhai back to the court?"

Xie Shuci shook his head in doubt, and said: "I only heard that the emperor personally came forward to persuade you to surrender."

Fang Xunxue said: "Yes and no."

"why?"

Fang Xunxue said with a smile: "Maybe you don't believe it, but they and I—"

He looked at the other people in the lobby, and continued: "I have always hoped to become a monk, but it is a pity that we are born unable to form golden cores and use spiritual power. They think that cultivating the Tao will make them stronger, while I I think it is a very beautiful thing. The emperor promised me that if we surrendered, he would give me a picture of a fairy flying to the sky. It is said that it is a portrait of a princess practicing Taoism in the royal family, and I agreed."

He stroked his hair lightly with his hands, a slight smile appeared on his slightly powdered face, his red lips parted slightly, and he said, "I like beautiful things, is it strange? I am clearly a man."

Xie Shuci shook his head and said sincerely: "It's not surprising, I also like beautiful things. To be honest, I fell in love with that person at first because he was good-looking."

Fang Xunxue looked at him, almond eyes flooded with light.

"My lord, you are really exciting." Fang Xunxue stared at Xie Shuci, the emotion in his eyes was undisguised.

The appearance is impressive. Smart, sincere, clear and translucent that can be seen through at a glance is also heart-warming.

Xie Shuci was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect him to say these words suddenly, such straightforward words made Xie Shuci's ears burn, he was afraid of Xiao Xun's nonsense, so he kept pressing on the back of his hand, and said with a smile: " Don't fall in love with me, I will make you sad."

After hearing this, Xiao Xun didn't respond.

Fang Xunxue picked up the wine glass, twisted the glass with her slender fingers, and said, "Well, I don't have time to like you."

Xie Shuci smiled and said, "Yes, how many people have you 'liked' along the way!"

Fang Xunxue smiled lightly and did not explain.

He raised his head, held the wine glass to his lips, and drank it down.

Slowly pouring the wine down his throat, his slender eyelashes trembled like cicada's wings, looked up at Xie Shuci again, and asked, "Can I... see your spiritual power?"

There was anticipation and care in his eyes.

Xie Shuci realized that he was not joking, he really thought spiritual power was a very beautiful thing.

If you change to a place where no one is around, maybe...

Xie Shuci was about to answer when the person on the opposite side shook his head very quickly, lowered his gaze, and said:

"No, forget it, I don't want to read it."
