Chapter 45: Just Friends 45
Although Hong Xuzi was dragging Sword Master on the other side, it was unknown how long the delay could be.
The two of Yan and Xiao knew that time was limited, and they didn't have the time to appreciate the past. After a little adjustment, the images in the mirror quickly flowed.
Yan Shuoyun also watched from the sidelines how Ah Yi made cold faces back then.
I can't wait for the person I hold the most in my heart to be treated so coldly. Yan Shuoyun just thinks that he hasn't had a "competition" with Xiao Hanzhou at this moment. He has already seen that the situation is really urgent now, and in addition, his energy-raising skills over the years have been exhausted.For good sake.
Xiao Hanzhou's complexion was also not good-looking.
From the perspective of a bystander, he finally saw with his own eyes how much Ah Yi had done for him back then. Fearing that he might go mad, he would collect spiritual artifacts everywhere, and worry that he would practice too much, racking his brains to make him temporarilyPutting aside his practice and going out to relax, in order to give him a handy long sword, he searched for materials and visited swordsmiths everywhere, but he didn't care about his zither...
Ah Yi did all of this behind his back, but he always put on a relaxed and casual attitude. When he was a teenager, he really didn't realize it, and accepted Ah Yi's kindness calmly.
He is not good enough for A Yi.
Xiao Hanzhou couldn't help thinking this way, but at the same time he clearly knew that these things were not for him.
——All these sacrifices were originally made by Ah Yi to another person.
Everything he enjoyed back then was actually stolen favors.
The ridiculous thing is that he didn't know how to cherish it when he was in it.
Xiao Hanzhou couldn't help asking himself, is it because of this that he has the retribution he has now?
Yan Shuoyun originally thought that he could see the end calmly, but when he saw that in the secret realm, Xiao Hanzhou provoked monsters in order to obtain spiritual materials, but provoked Ah Yi to protect him, he still couldn't help but draw his sword.
Ren Yi in the mirror, with his back on his back, sent Xiao Hanzhou to refine the gains from this secret realm in a few words.
But as soon as the other person left, he couldn't hold himself back any longer, and his back was soaked in blood where the person who had just left didn't pay attention.
Yan Shuoyun's chest rose and fell. After several deep breaths, he finally pressed down the handle of the knife with his thumb.spit out.
——He, present, present, still, no, able, dead.
Yan Shuoyun warned himself almost word for word in his heart.
It's just that what happened next made Yan Shuoyun even more unable to control the killing intent around him.
Back then, Xiao Hanzhou tried his best to improve his strength in order to avenge his family. He was extremely talented, neither lacked perseverance nor understanding, and he was ruthless towards himself. The road of cultivation has always been very smooth.But if you want to improve your strength as quickly as possible, you must have enough resources. Fortunately, Xiao Hanzhou's luck is very good. In addition to Ayi's full support, he himself also has a lot of opportunities, and he has a lot of gains through chance.
It's just about one's own cultivation, and resources are something that everyone is fighting for in the cultivation world.Since Xiao Hanzhou has benefited, others must suffer, and he will be hated as much as he deprives people of their benefits.In just a few years, he has offended almost all the forces that can be offended in the cultivation world.
Under such circumstances, if Xiao Hanzhou can still practice safely, it must be because someone ran around for him and resisted his enemies for him.
Yan Shuoyun witnessed that Ren Yi was seriously injured again by Xiao Hanzhou, and his knuckles holding the knife were already turning blue.
At this point, Yan Shuoyun calmed down instead.
He thought very plainly that after this time, even if Xiao Hanzhou escaped with his life by chance, he would make it impossible for people to get out of this secret realm.
Looking at the piles of things that he knew nothing about back then, Xiao Hanzhou's face turned pale.
It's not that he's not good enough for Ah Yi.
but—
He, root, base, no, match!!
When Xiao Hanzhou watched from the sidelines that he was obsessed because of his eagerness for success, and heard Dan's doctor's words "need the bones of Taoism", Xiao Hanzhou finally couldn't help stretching out his hand.
No!Don't agree!!
The knife light brushed past Xiao Hanzhou's palm, if Xiao Hanzhou hadn't instinctively lifted it up, I'm afraid his whole hand would be broken at the wrist at this moment.
A slender wound was drawn on the palm by the strong wind, and blood dripped, but Xiao Hanzhou didn't seem to notice it.
Yan Shuoyun's cold voice warned from behind, "There is only one chance, you can choose after you see clearly."
There is only one chance to enter the past, even if Yan Shuoyun really wants to kill the person in front of him at this moment, he still has to endure the opportunity to see Ah Yi agree to become a Taoist partner with him.
Thinking of this, Yan Shuoyun's intuitive heart became more and more blocked, and even the ground under his feet showed faint cracks.
Fortunately, after such a reminder, Xiao Hanzhou finally calmed down. He curled up his fingers one by one, and silently lowered his arms.
No one spoke for a while, the atmosphere was terribly oppressive, the corners of Yan Shuoyun's lips were tightly pursed, and his jaw was as tight as a stone.
But the person in the mirror is completely immune to external influences.
It's a matter of course, because that was the past.
——is the past that has already happened, that has already been cast into "facts".
Yan Shuoyun looked at Ren Yi in the mirror without even a moment's hesitation, and agreed to the doctor's request with an almost easy attitude, as if what the other party wanted was just an ordinary spirit stone.
Yan Shuoyun turned his face away, he was afraid that if he watched it again, he would really be unable to bear the temptation to kill someone with a knife.
It's just that the eyes can't see and there are ears. He could hear the intermittent muffled humming over there, and he could know the pain of Ren Yi cutting off the bone.What a nonchalant look.
Yan Shuoyun could refrain from looking at it, but Xiao Hanzhou couldn't.
He had already "not watched" once back then, how could he take a good look now?Don't you look at what Ah Yi has done for him?
Xiao Hanzhou witnessed everything he had never known before, and his body trembled unconsciously.
He didn't have the strength to stand up for a long time now, but he couldn't help but walk a few steps towards Ren Yi's direction, stretched his trembling arms a few times, and carefully embraced Ren Yi who was still in a comain the arms.
There were sporadic drops of water staining mottled dark marks on the skirt of his clothes. He wanted to speak several times, but his trembling lips couldn't even say the word "I'm sorry".
Compared with what he saw just now, this "I'm sorry" is too light and thin, so light that it seems ridiculous.
...
...
The scene in the mirror was still moving backwards, Xiao Hanzhou thought that he had avenged him, and after reorganizing the Xiao family, everything would be fine, and Ah Yi would no longer have to suffer for him.However, the situation was not as he expected.
"You are the head of the family. Why do you let the Bai family alone? Of course it's because of that..."
"...to be in-laws in the future, it's not good to go too far."
"If it weren't for... oh~ it would be a youthful friendship and childhood sweetheart at this moment. But it would be a good talk to continue the relationship at this moment."
Xiao Hanzhou was a little dazed when he heard these rumors that he had never heard of before. He had no idea that these rumors were all behind the scenes back then, and they appeared so early.
Xiao Hanzhou couldn't help but panicked.
He didn't know about the rumors, but these discussions actually fell into A Yi's ears. Would A Yi misunderstand him because of this?
no, can not!
Ah Yi dislikes these groundless rumors the most, so naturally he won't listen to them.
Xiao Hanzhou thought so, but heard a voice.
"Ayi, even though he has some old friends with me, don't make things difficult for him."
Xiao Hanzhou was stunned by the familiar voice, it was his voice, but had he ever said such a thing?
Xiao Hanzhou recalled it in a trance, as if he had done it before.
He noticed that Ayi and Juliu seemed to be at odds, and when he witnessed the two getting along several times, Jinliu showed embarrassment.
Xiao Hanzhou actually didn't feel that Ah Yi was really embarrassed, and there was no sense of blame in his words.
It's just that he knows that Juliu's situation in the Bai family is not good, and Ah Yi's temper is a bit more straightforward, and the two may not get along for some reason.But now that he is the head of the Xiao family, if the people around him show their dislike for Bai Juliu, then the situation in the Bai family will be even more difficult.
Looking back at his thoughts at that time, Xiao Hanzhou found it incredible.
Why did he wrong A Yi so naturally?
Even if you don't care about feelings, you only talk about "kindness".
Compared with Bai Juiliu's meager help when he escaped from Tianhuan City back then, Ah Yi has lived and died several times for him in these years.
Because Ah Yi never said or mentioned it, did he really forget it?!
Xiao Hanzhou only felt a dull pain in his heart, but the person in the mirror didn't feel it.
"Jieliu just came here."
"No need, Juliu has already prepared for me."
"..."
"Jieliu is going to the Neon Mystery Realm. He may be in danger if his cultivation level is not enough, so I can take care of him when I go."
"..."
As the person in the mirror spoke again and again, Xiao Hanzhou's limbs also became a little bit stiff, and he couldn't help but tighten the arm holding Ren Yi, as if if he loosened it a little, the person in his arms would disappear completely.
No, not like that.
Although he is different with Bai Juliu, it is by no means what the rumors in the Xiao family say.
Xiao Hanzhou actually understands why he treats Bai Juiliu so specially.
Everything in Tianhuan City back then was destroyed that night, and the only thing he could associate with the warm memories of his youth was Bai Juliu.He returned to Tianhuan City, killed his enemies, and rebuilt the Xiao family. He inevitably recalled the past over and over again, and he naturally became special to Bai Juiliu, which was mentioned again and again in front of Ah Yi.
But how does Ah Yi feel when he hears this?Regardless of the reason, what kind of mood was Ah Yi who really had that kind of affection for him at that time?
Xiao Hanzhou only felt extremely cold.
It's another kind of coldness completely different from what A Yi has done for him before.
Xiao Hanzhou noticed that another cold gaze fell on him, but he had no time to take care of it.Perhaps he did agree with the owner of that gaze from the bottom of his heart—he really deserved to die.
Xiao Hanzhou thought of his confusion at that time.
After he took over Xiao's family, he seems to be unfamiliar with Ah Yi?
Xiao Hanzhou suddenly had an answer, it wasn't "strangeness", it was him who pushed people away with his own hands.
After the images in the mirror flashed rapidly, they returned to Xiao's mansion, and some unreal voices could be heard vaguely in the distance, it seemed that the servants of Xiao's family were gathering together and chatting some gossip.
"Hey, do you know? That person came again a while ago."
"I know. The master took out all the chalcedony from the bottom of the warehouse... Tsk tsk, it's amazing, you said how good it was that I ran into it back then, and picked it up and brought it home, only to eat itGive it to me, after a few years, I will give you whatever I want..."
"Shhhh! Patriarch, be careful with your mouth if you arrange it like this!"
The person who was warned before stopped silently, and couldn't help but say after a while, "I'm just angry, if you want me to say that the Patriarch is too kind, that person just took in the Patriarch for a while in the early years, and he really thought it wasWhat kind of incredible kindness? You really dare to ask for benefits."
"..."
"..."
Listening to these boring words, Xiao Hanzhou didn't realize who they were referring to at first. After the person who spoke first counted the things he sent out one by one, Xiao Hanzhou got out of those unimaginable sayings.Do you understand that they were talking about Ah Yi?!!
Xiao Hanzhou?!
Why?How could they?How dare you be so contemptuous?!
No need to be reminded by others, Xiao Hanzhou quickly realized why he never seemed to have formally introduced Ah Yi to the Xiao family?
After he started to reorganize the Xiao family, A Yi hardly showed up in front of the Xiao family members. Even he felt that the two had their own identity, and the Xiao family members hardly knew A Yi anymore.
Xiao Hanzhou felt how ridiculous he was.
He thought about Bai Juliu's situation in the Bai family, but never worried about A Yi's situation in the Xiao family.
He always thought, this is the Xiao family he started to reorganize, how could Ah Yi be wronged in it?
But in fact, in this Xiao family, his Xiao family, even the servants in the family dare to treat Ah Yi so slowly!
Regret overflowed from the bottom of his heart, and the bitterness was mixed with a dull pain that made people have nowhere to go. Xiao Hanzhou only felt the smell of blood coming out of his heart.
