Chapter 31 Do I need you? "I don't need you anymore."...
(31)
The man who called himself Zhuo Xuan was Shen Changyi before he came to the mortal world.
Li Shanglu didn't know anything about him, and could even be said to be a complete stranger to him. Zhou Xuan seemed like a name that only appeared in some ancient legend. If he went to the Ming Zhouzong's library to look through the ancient books, he might be able to know something about his experience.
It is impossible to say that I am completely uninterested. After all, this is the only true immortal in the world that can be seen with one's own eyes.
Li Shanglu thought he had been polite enough to him. Even though he said irritating words with that face that made him angry, Li Shanglu could still endure it.
"Don't let me hear this kind of words again. You can't replace him, and you have no right to interfere in my affairs with him. Go and take care of your important things." Li Shanglu said indifferently and turned to leave. She still had to buy herbs for alchemy today, and the magic test would be soon, and she didn't want to give up halfway.
Hearing this, Shen Changyi looked at her silently for a while, then withdrew his gaze and disappeared from the spot.
Li Shanglu stopped as if he had noticed something. After a while, he looked back, but the familiar figure was no longer behind him.
I pinched my fingertips into my palm, but I hardly felt any pain.
Li Shanglu can now be sure that he hates Zhu Xuan very much.
After buying the herbs, she spent the whole day refining pills. It was not until late at night, when she was so hungry that her stomach hurt, that she remembered that she had not eaten all day.
It was the middle of the night and all the restaurants and stalls were closed. She opened her storage ring and found that the dry food inside had been eaten up during the secret realm trial. Li Shanglu had a severe stomachache and felt that if she didn't eat something, she might die.
But where could he find food in the middle of the night? Li Shanglu looked at the time and climbed into bed silently.
Get some sleep, it will be daybreak soon.
Curled up in the soft quilt, she tried hard to force herself to sleep, but Shen Changyi's face kept appearing in her mind. Every time she forgot to eat, Shen Changyi would prepare it for her and would not let her go until she finished eating. As a result, she actually forgot to eat when no one reminded her.
It's no big deal.
You won’t die from being hungry for a day, and it’s the same if you eat after waking up in the morning.
The next morning.
Li Shanglu's eyes were blue as he bought ten buns at the bun stall. Although he only ate five in the end, the rest were just right for lunch and dinner.
When she returned to the inn, she heard people talking about some jerk.
"I met the Sword Immortal Master at Taiyin Mountain today. He was as cold as ever. I don't know why he seemed to be in a bad mood."
"How can you tell what the Sword Immortal is feeling? Where did you meet him? Is he still there now? I want to ask him for some swordsmanship lessons."
"I just noticed that. I felt that the Sword Immortal was a little different from usual. He only said a few words to the Saint. You and I are not of the same status. Let's not bother ourselves."
Li Shanglu's face grew even darker as he walked past them expressionlessly before returning to his room to continue refining the elixir.
She took the wooden pestle and smashed it hard on the herbs, mashing them into a paste.

Taiyin Mountain, Holy Maiden Temple.
Qiu Hanyu sat at the table a little nervously and handed Shen Changyi a cup of tea.
As if noticing her reservedness, Shen Changyi took the teacup and said calmly, "No need to be so formal."
His voice was calm, but Qiu Hanyu could not remain calm.
The person in front of him was not Shen Changyi, but the immortal Zhu Xuan who came from heaven before he came to the mortal world.
No matter how calm and composed his tone was, as long as others thought of him as a true immortal, they would unconsciously keep their distance from him.
There is no cultivator who does not yearn for a true immortal.
What they seek all their lives is to ascend to heaven and become immortals.
Qiu Hanyu is no exception.
She didn't know Shen Changyi's true identity before. She only thought that he was a child of destiny and very talented. She never thought that he was actually an immortal who had descended to earth.
When Shangjun told her this, she digested it for a long time, and felt that this seemed more reasonable.
Looking at the past and present, how could someone with such a strong talent be an ordinary person?
Feeling anxious, Qiu Hanyu spoke carefully, "I wonder why the Immortal Lord has come to Taiyin Mountain?"
Hearing this, Shen Changyi put down his teacup, his eyes filled with emptiness, making it impossible to guess what he was thinking.
"Taiyin Mountain is located in the extreme south and is the sect closest to the Demon Realm. I want to know the latest situation in the Demon Realm."
Hearing his words, Qiu Hanyu hurriedly told him everything she knew without reservation, "Now that you have single-handedly suppressed the demon cultivators, the world is much more peaceful than before. However, most demon cultivators are still lurking in the dark, waiting for an opportunity to strike."
Shen Changyi responded and fell into deep thought again.
Qiu Hanyu would probably never be able to guess what he was thinking, but she could see that there was some difference between Immortal Lord Zhuxuan and Lord Sword Immortal.
She once asked Shen Changyi why he came to exorcise demons.
The answer Shen Changyi gave her was very accurate. He wanted to find a demon cultivator.
Qiu Hanyu was extremely surprised at that time. She originally thought that Shen Changyi would say that it was the duty of cultivators to eliminate demons and defend the way, or that it was so that the people of the world would no longer have to worry about being displaced.
But he did not say such selfless and great words, but frankly stated his purpose.
Shen Changyi is more like a human, while Zhu Xuanxianjun is closer to a god who is neither happy nor sad, and has no resentment or anger.
There are some subtle differences between the two of them.
The latter made Qiu Hanyu even more difficult to approach, and she didn't even know what to say to break the silence.
After a while, Shen Changyi seemed to have nothing else to say to her, so he stood up and was about to leave.
Qiu Hanyu's heart trembled, and he stood up to see the guest off.
When she reached the door, she couldn't help but call him.
"Xianxuan Lord Zhou."
Shen Changyi paused slightly, stood still, and waited quietly for her to speak.
"Did you go back to see the pomegranate last night?"
Hearing this, Shen Changyi thought of the mortal woman who seemed to have a bad temper and was somewhat aggressive.
He shook his head.
He went to many places last night, wondering whether he had fulfilled his duty to suppress the demon with his mortal body. As for his wife, he had limited time and did not go back to visit her.
Moreover, before leaving yesterday, she told him to take care of his own important matters.
I think she is a reasonable wife, but she is a little harsh in her words.
Qiu Hanyu couldn't help but frown after hearing his words. "Excuse me, Immortal Lord Zhu Xuan, you may only stay in the body of the Sword Immortal for a short while. But after you leave, the Sword Immortal will have to live with Shang Lu for the rest of his life."
Shen Changyi looked at her indifferently, as if he didn't understand what she wanted to say.
Qiu Hanyu sighed helplessly and whispered, "No wife in this world can tolerate being neglected by her husband. You should at least take care of her on behalf of the Sword Immortal. I believe the Sword Immortal would never have the heart to let Shang Lu feel lonely."
After a while, Shen Changyi withdrew his gaze from her face, and said calmly, "I know."
He turned and left, his figure quickly disappearing.
Qiu Hanyu pursed her lips and muttered to herself,
"I hope it's not too late."
You have finally started to find happiness, don’t let another self lose it.

Shen Changyi didn't understand.
Why did everyone ask him to visit and accompany Li Shanglu?
The Lord is like this, and so is Qiu Hanyu.
Li Shanglu seemed to be able to take good care of himself. For example, when she personally asked him to leave yesterday, he didn't look reluctant at all.
After standing in front of the door and hesitating for a long time, he finally knocked on it.
The door was opened with a creaky sound, and they looked at each other in surprise. After a while, there was a loud bang and the door slammed back.
Shen Changyi: "..."
He knocked twice more tentatively, but the other party showed no intention of opening the door for him.
Are you angry?
What is the reason?
Shen Changyi was confused and stood outside the door. Several young disciples came over and came up to him in surprise and excitement when they saw him.
"Master Sword Immortal, why are you here?"
"Master Sword Immortal, I have just learned your Mountain Jade Sword Technique. Could you give me some pointers?"
"Hey, I came here first. Do you understand first come, first served?"
"Master Sword Immortal, have you had dinner yet? Would you like to eat with me?"
Shen Changyi frowned for a moment and said in a cold tone, "I don't have time."
Since Li Shanglu didn't want to see him, there was nothing he could do.
This memory will fade in a few days. He wants to see if he has rewritten the catastrophe that may destroy the mortal world before he completely loses his memory.
This was also his original intention of coming to the world.
Just as he was about to use the escape technique to leave, the door in front of him suddenly opened.
Li Shanglu pulled him into the room, glared at the young disciples who gathered around him, and slammed the door shut with a bang.
"She's the Sword Immortal's cousin, no wonder..."
"What a pity! I thought I could ask the Sword Immortal for some advice."
"Stop talking now. Why don't you be reborn as a relative of the Sword Immortal in your next life? That way you can see the Sword Immortal every day."
"Tsk, why should I go to such a far place and curry favor with Master Sword Immortal's cousin? I can still see him anyway."
"Haha, that's true. Everyone knows they're close brothers. Maybe it will work."
They didn't go far, and even Li Shanglu could hear their voices, let alone Shen Changyi.
Both of them fell silent.
"Why do they call you my cousin?" Shen Changyi spoke first. He was very confident in his divination. He had calculated that Li Shanglu was his wife that day, and it would definitely not be wrong.
Li Shanglu did not answer him, but just stared coldly at the face that looked exactly like Shen Changyi.
"When Shen Changyi ascends to become an immortal, will his memories of the mortal world still be retained?"
She asked so abruptly that Shen Changyi was slightly stunned. After thinking for a moment, he replied, "Probably."
"Should?" Li Shanglu said coldly, approaching him step by step. "I don't want any shoulds. Aren't you a True Immortal? How can you not even know this?"
Shen Changyi was somewhat uncomfortable with her approach, and subconsciously retreated until he retreated to a corner, his back against the wall. He took a deep breath and whispered, "I've only ascended once, and I'm not sure about the next time."
Too close.
The breath sprayed on the side of his neck, making him feel itchy. He could also smell the warm and soft fragrance of orchids on the tip of his nose, which seemed to envelop him completely, leaving him nowhere to escape.
The beautiful woman in front of him had a hint of a sneer on her lips.
"What do you know? Tell me everything."
He didn't dare to meet her gaze for some reason, so he looked away and lowered his voice, "You ask, and I'll answer."
"Okay." Li Shanglu stared at him. "Answer whatever I ask you. If you dare to lie, I will..."
She choked and couldn't find any words to threaten him.
What can she do to Chen Changyi now?
"I won't lie." Shen Changyi frowned, as if he was a little dissatisfied with her questioning his character. "Just ask."
Li Shanglu narrowed his eyes and said in a deep voice, "Okay, let me ask you, have you known for a long time that I am your love tribulation?"
Shen Changyi's expression paused for a long moment, then he said in confusion, "Don't you all know this? Even a mortal like me can predict the calamity of love."
He already knew about the love tribulation when he divined Li Shanglu's identity. Shangjun also mentioned this to him, saying only that their love tribulation might have been resolved. He thought Li Shanglu also knew about it.
As soon as he finished speaking, Li Shanglu's face lost color and he looked at him in disbelief.
They all know.
She thought she was hiding it well.
What is this?
No wonder Shangjun always looked at her with a defensive look, as if he wanted to say something but couldn't, and no wonder Chen Changyi never asked her why she poisoned the food that day.
It turned out that they had known for a long time that she was an unforgivable and hopelessly vicious wife!
"What's wrong?"
Shen Changyi looked at her and said softly, "Li Shanglu, you don't look well."
Li Shanglu suddenly grabbed him and pushed him out the door, "Get out! I don't want to see you again! Get out now!"
Shen Changyi was a little stunned, not knowing what he had said wrong. He tried to grab her wrist helplessly, but accidentally touched a tear.
Very hot.
"Are you crying?"
He asked in a low voice.
Li Shanglu raised his eyes and looked at him, and the corners of his eyes were indeed red.
Chen Changyi, no, Zhou Xuan has never made any woman cry.
It can be said that he had not even spoken to the woman before ascending.
He lost his parents at birth, followed the master who picked him up, and practiced diligently in the mountains until he ascended to heaven. His life was so simple that he had no extra emotions at all, let alone dealing with these complicated relationships.
Wife was an extremely unfamiliar word to him.
His wife cried, and he had never thought of the two words together.
Shen Changyi was silent for a moment, took out a handkerchief from his bosom, and wanted to help her wipe away her tears, but after hesitating for a moment, he felt that it would be impolite and inappropriate, so he just handed the handkerchief to Li Shanglu.
"Do you need it?"
Li Shanglu looked at him quietly, slowly raised his hand to wipe away the tears on the side of his face, "No need."
Shen Changyi was stunned.
"I don't need you anymore."
Li Shanglu walked to the desk, took out a pen and paper, and said in a low voice,
"Come and divorce, Shen Changyi."
