Yeah, why am I crying again?

Xiao Hongyi took a deep breath and tried to hold back her tears, because Jiang Chen didn't like it.

But she couldn't do it.

Not only could she not stop crying, she couldn't be strong.

She had clearly decided that she must be strong, because Jiang Chen was still insisting, so she, as a master, couldn't collapse.

But in reality, she didn't know how many times she had collapsed.

And during the collapse, she would eventually return to the Red Jade Pavilion and instinctively look for Jiang Chen.

Suddenly, she understood something.

She knew that the white-clothed boy in her arms was an illusion again, but she still stroked the boy's cheek and spoke carefully. ✰

"Jiang Chen, I just know it now."

"The reason why I accepted you as my apprentice is because I feel lonely."

"I took the trouble to teach you because I don't want you to be disappointed in me as your master."

"I hope you will be kind and take care of your junior brothers and sisters. In fact, I want you to cherish everything you have."

"And all this, I never had before entering Jiuyan Sect."

"Now I know that Phoenix Blood Devouring Heart will not produce hallucinations. You in front of me are just my weak pillar, just like a life-saving straw, which I hold tightly."

"Hey, Jiang Chen, do you know?"

"In fact, as a master, I am very weak. I can't do anything except crying."

"I know." The young man in white smiled and replied.

The moment the voice fell.

The figure of the young man in white gradually became illusory and turned into starlight and dissipated.

Everything seemed to have never happened.

But the last words of the young man in white made Xiao Hongyi stunned.

She suddenly remembered the spiritual boat that returned from the Hengduan Mountains. Thinking of Jiang Chen's meaningful words on the spiritual boat.

"Master, don't you realize that you don't understand yourself?"

Really...

It turns out that her eldest disciple has seen through her weakness.

He has seen through it, but he still cooperates with her. So every time he is punished, he will keep playing miserable. And when she is sad, he will try his best to comfort her.

All this is just to help her, the master, hide the weakness in his heart.

Thinking of this, she cried again.

She cried unscrupulously and without restraint.

At this moment, she accepted her weakness and loosened the last straw.

But the guilt, self-blame and other emotions that followed also completely crushed her. And this time, she never saw Jiang Chen as a teenager again.

"Ah!"

The red-clothed woman on the side put down the spiritual fruit in her hand and sighed again.

...

...

Time flies, and several years have passed in the blink of an eye.

The red pavilion on the top of the peak, beside the spiritual pond

Two red-dressed figures were still there, one of them was constantly peeling spiritual fruits, his skills had become more and more mature. One of them was squatting by the spiritual pond, talking to himself, sometimes crying and sometimes laughing, and never leaving.

Suddenly.

"Boom!"

A burly figure fell from the sky.

His body was like an iron tower, and the huge falling force instantly collapsed the ground.

The burly man scratched his head and said, "I didn't control the strength well..."

The red-dressed woman who was peeling spiritual fruits saw this, frowned immediately, and said concisely: "Fix it."

The burly man did not dare to refute, and jumped directly from the dangerous peak.

When he turned back again, he carried a green boulder like a small mountain on his shoulder and placed it on the ground that he had collapsed.

After that, another "rockery" was added to the top of the peak.

"Master, I'm leaving." After everything was done, the burly man said.

"Where to?" The red-dressed woman did not even raise her head.

"Recently, some memories that don't belong to me always appear in my mind. I want to go to the place in that memory to have a look. I think this is very important."

"... Go early and come back early."

"Maybe I can't come back, because it seems that the place is not in this world."

"I said, go early and come back early."

"..."

The burly man was silent, and then nodded seriously: "Okay, Master's order, I dare not disobey!"

The woman in red also nodded and stopped talking.

The burly man did not leave, but took a step forward, trying to take a spiritual fruit that the woman had just peeled.

"Pah!"

The woman directly hit his hand back.

After a shy smile, the burly man said: "Master, Jiuyan Sect has been a sect in the upper domain for many years, and it's almost time for you to leave here."

"..."The woman in red was silent.

"Master, if you really want to see the eldest brother, why don't you go to the upper domain? Before coming here, I met the eldest brother by chance, he... seems to have changed." The burly man said again.

Hearing this, the woman trembled.

She seemed to want to ask more questions, but she swallowed the words when they came to her lips.

The burly man was not tactful and continued to talk to himself: "When I met the eldest brother, he was still doing evil. But I always feel that he doesn't look as annoying as before. More importantly, he is obviously doing evil, but I always feel a sense of disobedience, and I don't know why."

After saying that, he added: "It may also be an illusion. After all, since those memories that don't belong to me appeared, I have been a little bit wrong."

Seeing that the woman still didn't speak, the burly man turned around and prepared to leave.

Just as he was about to jump off the dangerous peak again, he turned back and said: "Master, the eldest brother has issued a letter of challenge to the sixth junior brother, and they will fight to the death. I am not in a good state and don't want to watch. But if you don't go, you will regret it for the rest of your life."

"..."

The red-clothed woman trembled again.

After the burly man left, the woman was stunned by the jade table for a long time, and then seemed to have made a decision and left the place as well.

After many years, Xiao Hongyi was the only one left here again.

She woke up and was stunned.

She didn't hear most of the conversation just now, but she heard the news about Jiang Chen very clearly.

Declaration of war?

Jiang Chen issued a declaration of war to Lin Feng, and it was a fight to the death?

The thought had just come to her mind.

Suddenly.

The scene that had been silent for many years began to change again.

Xiao Hongyi was still on the top of the dangerous peak in the previous second, but in the next second, she appeared in an unfamiliar open space.

Above the open space, two figures intertwined with each other, and the sky was full of swords and swords.

Around the open space, many "righteous people" gathered and cheered.

Among these people, Xiao Hongyi saw her apprentice and herself.

She didn't pay too much attention, but her eyes were firmly locked on the two figures fighting in the sky.

Both of them were too fast, even if she tried her best, she still couldn't see clearly.

Suddenly.

A figure was shot down from the sky, leaving a deep pit on the ground.

Xiao Hongyi looked closely.

The familiar facial features came into her eyes, making her unable to help herself.

After many years, Jiang Chen had grown a stubble and his black hair had obviously grown longer. He was still dressed in white, but his eyes were more bitter and helpless.

Xiao Hongyi had no time to move forward.

A black knife came quickly, twisting the void and shattering the earth wherever it went, aiming directly at Jiang Chen's chest.

Time stopped at this moment, and a conversation emerged in Xiao Hongyi's mind.

"Master, what if someone wants to kill me one day?"

"If you are innocent, I will protect you with my life."

After the conversation disappeared, she appeared in front of Jiang Chen with her arms open.

She wanted to fulfill her promise and protect him with her life.

But...

The black knife passed through her body and still pierced Jiang Chen's chest.

In an instant, blood was everywhere, and the world was scarlet.

Xiao Hongyi turned her head stiffly.

What she saw was...

the white clothes soaked in blood, and Jiang Chen, who was spitting blood and his vitality was quickly disappearing, but showed a relieved smile.
