Chapter 2 Chapter 2 Should I call you senior brother or brother?
The man in front of him had a handsome face and gentle eyes. However, paradoxically, when he looked at Ruan Mingyu, his narrow eyes narrowed slightly, with a playful and vaguely evil look, which did not seem decent.
Several black demonic auras lingered around him. If he was a natural born demon, he would usually have red lines on his face, but his face was clean and flawless. I wonder if he was practicing some kind of martial arts?
Ruan Mingyu had already concluded that the person in front of him was Song Chenxi, as he loved to wear white clothes and had a face that was somewhat similar to his own. But Bai Yueguang in the book was a good-tempered saint, so how could he become like this now?
Ruan Mingyu thought something was wrong and turned around to escape, but someone grabbed his shoulders and he could not move.
"Where are you going?"
Ruan Mingyu felt a murderous intent.
He pretended to be dumb and said in a choked voice: "Senior Brother, I didn't see anything..." Ruan Mingyu pinched his arm hard, trying to make himself cry and look even more cowardly.
Who knew that the man wiped away his tears with his fingertips and whispered to him, "If others saw you crying like this, they would probably think I was bullying you."
Although the tone was very gentle, Ruan Mingyu felt a chill.
"Call me Senior Brother? Your cultivation is so low, are you a disciple of my sect?" He stroked his face ambiguously, "Or are you a pet of some disciple, secretly brought up the mountain?"
Ruan Mingyu originally wanted to pretend to be a disciple of the Seven Stars Sect, hoping that he would still remember the friendship between fellow disciples, but he didn't expect that he would see through it easily.
If he wanted to survive, the only thing he could do now was to make the person in front of him feel that he was not a threat at all.
Ruan Mingyu's long eyelashes were covered with tears. She seemed too scared to speak and just kept crying.
Song Chenxi smiled slightly, and slid her fingers down his collarbone. "You're trying to seduce me? Do you think I'll pity you if you cry?"
"Brother...I really didn't see anything. Please let me go."
"Still calling me Senior Brother? If you are not a disciple of my sect, don't call me that."
Ruan Mingyu immediately changed his words: "Brother, I was just passing by..." He was trembling and shaking all over.
"Passing by such a remote place? That's impressive." Feeling the trembling of the person beneath him, Song Chenxi chuckled, "Good brother, don't be so nervous."
He twisted Ruan Mingyu's chin and looked at her carefully, then said, "I heard that Chen Yanyuan brought back a handsome boy. Is that you?"
"Should I change my words and call you sister-in-law?"
His gaze was like a poisonous snake, licking Ruan Mingyu.
Ruan Mingyu cried even harder, looking weak and vulnerable. He glanced at Song Chenxi from the corner of his eye, paying attention to his every move. If he couldn't get over it, he would fight him.
He was actually betting that Song Chenxi didn't really want to kill him.
Fortunately, he made the right bet.
Song Chenxi's beautiful face showed a sarcastic expression: "Don't cry. I don't even bother to kill someone like you."
The moment he raised his hand, Ruan Mingyu lost consciousness.
The moment he fell into darkness, Ruan Mingyu had only one thought: he didn't want to die like this.
-----------------------
Although Song Chenxi did not kill him, he did not take him away either.
After spending a night in the snow and ice, whether Ruan Mingyu can survive depends entirely on his luck.
The next day, Ruan Mingyu woke up in bed. His mind was blank, as if he had lost a part of his memory. He walked through the birch forest, trying to break the barrier. But then, what happened?
He tried hard to recall, and suddenly he had a headache that was so painful that he broke out in a cold sweat. It took him a long time to recover, and then his lost memories were also recovered.
He remembered everything that happened last night!
In other words, Song Chenxi was originally a demon cultivator, and in order to avoid being exposed, he erased his memory.
No, is this part of the story in the book? Why can't Ruan Mingyu remember it? It seems that the plot in the book is a little different from what happened in reality.
Xiao Wei came in and saw Ruan Mingyu was awake. She hurriedly shouted outside, "Your Excellency, Young Master Ruoyue is awake!"
Ruan Mingyu quickly told Xiaowei to shut up, but it was too late.
Shen Yanyuan walked in and sat down beside Ruan Mingyu's bed. His angular face showed no emotion. He was dressed in black, which he hadn't had time to change. There were bloodstains on his clothes from his training outside.
Xiao Wei said, "Master Ruoyue, it was the Venerable Lord who brought you back from the snow last night. No matter how hard we called you, you wouldn't wake up. Everyone was terrified!"
Shen Yanyuan waved his hand and let Xiaowei go down, leaving only him and Ruan Mingyu in the room.
Shen Yanyuan was a typical sword cultivator, as cold as his sword. He didn't ask Ruan Mingyu what he was doing there, but only told him, "I've rebuilt the barrier, and no outsiders will come in."
A feeling of powerlessness instantly swept over Ruan Mingyu's body. Was he going to be imprisoned here for the rest of his life? Shen Yanyuan must have known what he had done.
Shen Yanyuan took out an exquisite bracelet and put it on Ruan Mingyu's wrist: "After wearing this magic weapon, you will no longer be afraid of the cold in winter or the heat in summer. I can find you wherever you go."
Isn't that a locator? Ruan Mingyu squeezed out his voice from between his teeth: "Thank you, Your Excellency..."
Shen Yanyuan looked at him. He was still as young and handsome as before, but there was less joy in being with him between his brows: "You have changed. You are no longer like him at all."
Ruan Mingyu said nothing. He wanted to kill him with a sword and then break out of the cage.
Ruan Mingyu and him were speechless. Shen Yanyuan did not force him. He stood up and covered Ruan Mingyu with the quilt. "I won't leave this time. I will be in seclusion in the cave at Lufeng. There are no restrictions on the entrance to the cave. You can see me anytime you want."
After hearing this news, Ruan Mingyu could no longer remain calm. His eyes were bloodshot as he stared at him intently: "How long will you be in seclusion?"
His voice was cold and emotionless: "At least ten years, at most a hundred years."
Ruan Mingyu's sanity was nearly broken. He had always been kind and positive since childhood, but at this moment he couldn't help but burst into hysterics: "I don't have that much time to waste with you!"
Shen Yanyuan took out a medicine bottle and placed it in his palm: "The life span of mortals is indeed short. You don't have to be afraid. Take the medicine on time, and a hundred years will only be a moment."
Ruan Mingyu yelled, "This is not what I want!"
Chen Yanyuan lowered his eyes to hide the emotions in them: "When I come out of confinement, I will accompany you wherever you want to go."
It's totally irrelevant!
Ruan Mingyu is not Ruoyue, and he has no feelings for Shen Yanyuan. However, Shen Yanyuan thought he was just throwing a tantrum like before, so he reached out and stroked his face soothingly.
However, Ruan Mingyu dodged sideways, and Shen Yanyuan's hand stopped in mid-air, with a hint of inquiry in his cold eyes.
"Well, you should have a good rest." He was not a good communicator, so he wanted to leave after saying that, leaving Ruan Mingyu alone to calm down.
He hadn't taken two steps when someone grabbed his sleeve. Shen Yanyuan's eyes flickered slightly, and he looked down at Ruan Mingyu: "Ruoyue, what else?"
Ruan Mingyu begged, "Please let me go! Since I'm nothing like the white moonlight in your heart, please let me go! I'm going crazy if I stay here any longer!"
Shen Yanyuan was stunned. He had never been so angry before. His face remained calm, but his heart was turbulent. The person he brought back actually wanted to leave him!
He pulled the sleeve out of his hand: "No way."
A overwhelming hatred spread from the depths of Ruan Mingyu's heart.
He hated himself for being weak and incompetent, and hated Shen Yanyuan even more for being unreasonable.
In that case, don't blame him for using any means to achieve his goals.
During the period before the retreat, Shen Yanyuan came to accompany Ruoyue every day.
Ruan Mingyu acted as if nothing had happened. He imitated the white moonlight in Shen Yanyuan's mind, wearing white clothes and pretending to be gentle.
Shen Yanyuan looked at him, hesitant to speak.
Ruan Mingyu no longer cared about anything. He was willing to do anything as long as it could free him from control.
In fact, the most straightforward method is to kill Shen Yanyuan, but it is quite difficult to achieve this goal.
We have to try it, what if it succeeds?
Ruan Mingyu brought the tea to Shen Yanyuan and said, "Your Excellency, Ruoyue brewed the tea for you personally." Let's see if the water soaked with oleander can poison him to death.
Chen Yanyuan took it and drank it in one gulp without changing his expression. After he finished drinking, he said, "Ruoyue, it's just that this can't kill me."
Ruan Mingyu didn't expect to succeed right away. If it didn't work this time, he would try again next time.
Chen Yanyuan added, "I will be in seclusion tomorrow, so you don't need to bring me tea anymore."
Ruan Mingyu nodded with a forced smile, thinking of other plans in his mind.
-------------------
Shen Yanyuan went into seclusion.
Ruan Mingyu headed towards the birch forest as before. The barrier was still there, and with time, he could break through the weak points.
However, even if he got out of here, he couldn't escape Shen Yanyuan's control.
Ruan Mingyu raised his wrist, but the bracelet on his wrist couldn't be taken off at all. What method should he use to completely get rid of Shen Yanyuan?
The birch forest is located at the very edge of the Seven Star Sect. Since Song Chenxi chose to practice here, he might come here again.
Maybe he has a solution?
Ruan Mingyu waited for him for a long time and finally waited for his arrival in the second month.
He was still practicing near the ice spring. Ruan Mingyu rushed over, not caring about his dignity, and hugged Song Chenxi's thigh tightly, "Brother, please help me."
Song Chenxi was stunned, then chuckled and lifted his chin with the hilt of his sword: "Are you talking to me? Do you still remember me?"
Ruan Mingyu met his playful eyes and met his scrutinizing gaze without fear: "Brother, I remember everything. You don't want me to tell anyone, right? Help me--"
"Interesting, it seems you were lying to me the first time we met," Song Chenxi put his hands around his neck and whispered, "No one has ever dared to threaten me."
Ruan Mingyu was not afraid of him at all. What he feared most now was staying in Lufeng for the rest of his life.
"I'm here now, aren't I?"
Song Chenxi narrowed his eyes, and the hand that was pinching Ruan Mingyu's neck gradually tightened: "Do you think I won't dare to kill you just because you have Chen Yanyuan's support?"
Ruan Mingyu was having trouble breathing, but a smile was still on his face: "I left letters for the headmaster, several elders in the sect, and Shen Yanyuan. They should all receive them tomorrow."
Song Chenxi raised his eyebrows: "Do you think I'm afraid of you?"
Ruan Mingyu turned around and advised him, "Brother, it's better to have less trouble than more. What I'm asking for isn't a big deal. I don't care what you cultivate. Brother, if you help me this time, I can establish a word spirit. If I tell anyone about your affairs, I will be crushed to ashes and die a miserable death."
Song Chenxi watched his performance with a smile on his face: "Your performance is really good. I haven't seen such a wonderful performance in a long time, but——"
"What makes you think I'll help you? Do you really think a few letters can expose me?"
After a long time of trying, he still hadn't relented. It felt like his efforts were in vain. If this path didn't work, he'd try another. Although Ruan Mingyu could immediately give in to achieve his goal, he wouldn't waste his time and effort on something that would yield no results.
He suddenly released his arms that were hugging Song Chenxi's thighs, patted his butt, and stood up to leave.
Song Chenxi called him again: "Stop."
Ruan Mingyu was no longer polite and asked lazily, "Do you have anything else to say?"
Song Chenxi smiled: "I didn't say I wouldn't help you. What do you want me to help you with? Tell me."
