Fu Yushu smiled when he heard this. His face was pale, without a trace of blood. Lin Chen reached out and held his hand, whispering, "Are you okay?"
"fine."
Fu Yushu shook his head. Just as he finished speaking, an angry roar from Xie Shen was heard in the sky. Everyone looked up and saw Wang Hanshu transformed into a ray of light. He no longer cared about the disciples who came with him and fled into the distance.
Fu Changling raised his hand and a golden net composed of runes instantly blocked Wang Hanshu. Wang Hanshu screamed and turned into ashes and disappeared into the air.
Fu Changling turned around and watched Lin Chen supporting Fu Yushu. He pursed his lips, wanting to say something, but ultimately holding back. He raised his hand and threw a talisman, which instantly expanded, lifting up the injured Fu Yushu, Lin Chen, and Yue Sinan. He glanced behind him and saw that Xie Shen and the other evil spirits had completely taken control of the situation. He then raised his hand and cast a barrier, confirming that no one would be allowed out. He said calmly, "Let's go back first."
As he spoke, he and Qin Yan walked in front to clear the way, leading the three injured people behind them back to Baiyu City.
Fu Changling found the courtyard where they had lived before and settled the three of them down.
Fu Changling examined Lin Chen first, and then took Fu Yushu's pulse. Fu Yushu immediately said, "I know my injury well, it's a minor matter. You can see Yue Sinan first."
Fu Changling hesitated for a moment, nodded, and went to see Yue Sinan. Yue Sinan was the most seriously injured. She didn't have a golden elixir, and had always relied on her previous talismans and puppets to fight with others. Now that she was injured, it was the same as an ordinary person's injury. There was no spiritual power to nourish her.
Fu Changling bandaged her wound and then said, "The wound is easy to heal, but I'm afraid it will leave a root cause of illness later, so you should take good care of yourself in the future."
Lin Chen nodded. Fu Changling stood up and looked at Fu Yushu and said, "Can I see you now?"
Fu Yushu smiled with difficulty. Fu Changling grabbed Fu Yushu and went to another room.
Qin Yan followed him in and saw Fu Changling taking Fu Yushu's pulse. He then raised his eyes and asked, "Where are the spiritual roots?"
Fu Yushu smiled bitterly: "Such a large formation, without integrating a spiritual root..."
"We're still here," Fu Changling stared at Fu Yushu, "You just don't trust us?"
Fu Yushu was silent for a moment, then he said slowly, "I know you two have great spiritual power, but facing so many cultivators, this is also a fight of life and death. I don't know to what extent you are willing to fight for me and Achen."
Hearing this, Fu Changling pursed his lips and remained silent. Fu Yushu continued, "Besides, when receiving a favor from someone, one should be content. Since I can handle it myself, I won't drag you two into this. Most importantly," Fu Yushu raised his eyes and looked at the two of them for a long time before speaking slowly, "Actually, ever since we first met, I've always had a vague feeling in my heart."
"You two are not from this world."
He spoke with certainty. Fu Changling and Qin Yan were both stunned. Fu Yushu laughed, "You two have mysterious spiritual roots that resonate with the heavens and the earth. You two are incompatible with this world. Moreover, 'Chang' is the next generation name of my Fu family. If there is such an outstanding person in the next generation of my Fu family, how could I not know?"
"Let me tell you something else that will make you two laugh," Fu Yushu looked at Fu Changling with a loving expression, "Actually, I originally thought that if Ah Chen and I were together, I would name our child Changling."
Fu Changling was stunned for a moment, then listened to Fu Yushu say, "It should have been called Changlin, but it felt too obvious. Coincidentally, the place where Ah Chen and I became engaged was called Changling Town, so I chose this name as a commemoration. If I'm not mistaken, this young man," Fu Yushu said tentatively, "is he a blood relative of Yushu?"
Fu Changling didn't say anything, but Fu Yushu knew the answer. He laughed and said, "If you two weren't from this world, how could I place my trust in you?"
"What is going to happen," Fu Yushu lowered his eyes, "will always happen."
The three of them stopped talking. After a while, Qin Yan suddenly asked, "Are you two planning to get married?"
Fu Yushu was stunned for a moment, and Qin Yan reminded him: "I brought the wedding dress."
After hearing this, Fu Yushu finally reacted. He became happy and nodded, saying, "Of course, you two still have to drink the wedding wine. However, the situation is simple now, so I hope..."
"Let me help you."
Fu Changling stood up and said, "You should take good care of yourself and I will help you prepare for the wedding."
As he spoke, Fu Changling called Qin Yan: "Brother, let's go, let's go get ready."
Qin Yan nodded in agreement, and when they walked to the door, they saw Lin Chen standing in front of the door.
Lin Chen looked at Fu Changling quietly, and Fu Changling stared at her.
After a long time, Fu Changling nodded and left with Qin Yan.
After walking a few steps, Fu Changling suddenly heard Lin Chen ask, "Changling," her voice was gentle, "how have you been doing since then?"
Fu Changling paused and Qin Yan looked up at him.
Fu Changling's expression was calm. After a long moment, he spoke, "Very good."
"My parents loved each other, and I was born into a perfect family," Fu Changling said calmly. "I achieved success at a young age, with my beloved and good friends by my side. It couldn't be more perfect."
After hearing this, Lin Chen seemed satisfied and smiled, saying, "That's good."
As she spoke, she pushed the door open and walked in. Fu Changling walked forward, and Qin Yan walked along the corridor with him. He asked calmly, "Why did you lie to her?"
"Why not lie?"
Fu Changling smiled and said, "It's useless anyway."
As he said that, he lay down on the bed and said calmly, "Brother, take a rest."
Qin Yan stood in the room. After a while, he spoke slowly: "Changling, what happened these days may not be useful to them. But it is very important to you."
"Being able to talk to them and get to know them," Qin Yan said calmly, "isn't it also a way to make up for the regrets?"
Fu Changling opened his eyes and said nothing. Qin Yan returned to the bed and sat cross-legged. After a long moment, he heard Fu Changling's muffled voice say, "Yes, I know."
The two fell asleep and woke up the next day. It was just dawn and they got up. As soon as they walked into the courtyard, they saw Lin Chen and Fu Yushu were already up.
Fu Yushu was sitting in the courtyard drinking tea, while Lin Chen was drying herbs in the yard. When they saw Qin Yan and Fu Changling coming out, they both smiled. Fu Yushu greeted them and asked, "Did you sleep well?"
"not bad."
As the two were chatting, there was a knock on the door. Fu Changling got up and opened the door.
As soon as the door opened, I saw a huge group of ghosts standing outside, filling the alley. The leading soul was wearing armor and looked extremely burly. He had already turned into a ghost, just a human-shaped black mist with green light in his eyes.
Although his face couldn't be seen, his aura was very different. Fu Changling was stunned for a moment, then subconsciously asked, "Xie Shen?"
Lin Chen led Fu Yushu and Qin Yan out together. When Xie Shen saw Lin Chen and Fu Yushu, he immediately knelt down and shouted, "Thank you, Immortal Master, for your grace of saving me."
As he spoke, the voices of the spirits surged in like a wave. Lin Chen stepped forward, helped Xie Shen up, and whispered, "It was originally the cultivator's fault, but I'm trying to make up for it. How can it be called a grace of rebirth?"
"It was others who killed us, and you who saved us," Xie Shen said calmly. "Whether it was a favor or a grudge, I know the difference clearly. If you ask me to help you in the future, I will go through fire and water to save you."
“No need…”
Lin Chen opened his mouth hastily, but before he could finish his words, he heard Fu Changling say, "There's no need to go through fire and water, but there is something I do need Lord Xie's help with."
Everyone was stunned when these words came out. Fu Changling glanced at Lin Chen and Fu Yushu, then said, "These two were supposed to get married, but you guys messed it up. Can't you help plan the wedding?"
Hearing this, Xie Shen immediately understood and said with a smile, "I will follow the Immortal Master's arrangements."
With Xie Shen's help, Fu Changling arranged the wedding in just one day. The wedding took place in the courtyard, skipping all the wedding reception procedures and leaving only the wedding ceremony.
He got up early in the morning and asked the two of them to return to their rooms. He prepared servants to put makeup on them. Then he asked people to prepare a banquet, clean the house, and prepare wedding characters and red lanterns.
Qin Yan followed Fu Changling the whole time, watching him busying around. When night fell, Fu Changling acted as the ceremonial officer and sang in unison to invite the two men in.
Since their parents were not around, the two of them knelt down in front of everyone, worshipping heaven and earth, and then the husband and wife bowed to each other, completing the ceremony.
Afterwards, everyone toasted to the two of them and wished them well. Fu Changling accompanied Fu Yushu and helped him block the wine.
There weren't any familiar faces here; it was just some enthusiastic little brats who had rushed up. Yue Sinan was in the middle. She had just recovered from her injury, and Lin Chen had asked her to drink tea instead of wine, but she still filled her glass. Holding the wine in her hand, she angrily shouted at Fu Yushu, "Fu Yushu, if you dare to let me down, I will cut you into pieces. Listen carefully!"
"I understand," Fu Yushu listened to Yue Sinan's words, holding the wine glass in a good temper, and said seriously, "If I feel sorry for her, I will shave myself, so you don't have to do it."
"Remember this for yourself!"
Yue Sinan drank the wine in one gulp. She drank too fast and started coughing rapidly as soon as the wine entered her throat. Qin Yan handed her a handkerchief. Yue Sinan waved her hand and left.
Fewer and fewer people came to toast, and everyone closed their heads. Yue Sinan was about to help Lin Chen leave when he saw a man in a black robe slowly walking towards them.
The man was hidden in the darkness. He walked out with his head lowered, and his face could not be seen at all.
As soon as he appeared, Fu Yushu's expression turned cold. The man walked forward step by step with the wine in his hand, holding the wine in front of him.
Then he slowly raised his head, revealing the white jade mask on his face. Yue Sinan saw the mask and cried out in horror: "Lin Ya!"
Hearing this call, Lin Chen paused for a moment. A moment later, she heard Lin Ya's hoarse voice say, "Young Master, this glass of wine, I have been waiting for many days. I came here today to toast you." As he spoke, he stared at Lin Chen's red veil and pushed the wine forward, his eyes misty. "May you love your husband and wife and grow old together. In the future, you will be safe and happy, and everything will go well."
Everyone was stunned when these words of blessing were spoken. Lin Ya stared at Lin Chen quietly. After a long while, he heard Lin Chen say, "Thank you."
Hearing this, Lin Ya laughed. He drank the wine in one gulp, then bowed deeply to Lin Chen and said respectfully, "Young Master, the elders of the family have decided that from now on, you will be removed from the Lin family tree, and the successor of the Lin family will be chosen. The Lin family will close the mountain gate from now on. Unless there is something else, you will not leave the mountain again. Young Master's future behavior has nothing to do with the Lin family."
As he spoke, Lin Ya knelt down and kowtowed, saying, "Lin Ya bids farewell. I hope Young Master will take care of himself in the future."
Lin Chen listened to these words in silence. After a long while, she said, "It's my fault for causing trouble for the family. I hope you can go back and apologize to my family members."
"yes."
Lin Ya spoke hoarsely, and Lin Chen remained silent. After a long moment, she murmured, "Let's go back."
Lin Ya kowtowed and stood up.
He stared at Lin Chen quietly for a long time before turning around and walking out.
After he left, Lin Chen remained standing there. No one dared to speak. After waiting for a long time, they heard Lin Chen speak: "Is he gone?"
"Leave."
Fu Yushu raised his hand and held her shoulder, saying calmly, "I'm still here."
"I'll go back first."
Lin Chen said in a steady voice: "You entertain the guests."
Fu Yushu responded calmly, and Yue Sinan helped Lin Chen back to the room. Fu Yushu stared at her back. Fu Changling patted his shoulder from behind and reminded him, "Why are you so sad when you come here alone? Brother, this is your big day! Come," Fu Changling pulled him, "Let's toast!"
"Okay, okay," Fu Yushu said happily, "Don't drag me along, I'll go by myself!"
As they spoke, Fu Changling and Qin Yan followed Fu Yushu, toasting him all the way out.
Fu Yushu had to go and take over the veil, so he couldn't drink too much. It was basically Fu Changling who took over. Fu Changling drank more, and Qin Yan couldn't stand it, so he had to grab the wine glass and take it over.
The group played finger-guessing games and drank wine, and it was lively and cheerful. Although it was not as lavish as the preparations of Hongmeng Heavenly Palace, it was still festive.
Lin Chen listened to the noise outside and waited quietly in the room. Yue Sinan sat beside him, and seemed to be infected by the atmosphere and talked a lot more.
When the time came, Fu Changling reminded Fu Yushu, who was still drinking, and pulled him, saying, "Stop drinking, stop drinking, and quickly lift your veil."
When he heard about the veil being lifted, Fu Yushu immediately became alert, quickly put down his wine glass, and followed Fu Changling into the house.
Fu Changling dragged Qin Yan to the bridal chamber to make a scene. Qin Yan had been drinking and spoke little. He leaned against the edge of the room and watched Fu Changling making Fu Yushu guess riddles and swear. Finally, Fu Yushu couldn't stand it anymore and drove them all out.
After being kicked out, Fu Changling banged on the door and shouted, "Fu Yushu, if you have the guts, let me in! I'm not done yet!"
"roll!"
Fu Yushu laughed and shouted. Qin Yan went to persuade Fu Changling in a daze: "Alright, alright, let them rest."
Fu Changling became obedient when Qin Yan pulled him. They were both a little drunk and tired after walking a few steps. Fu Changling simply sat down on the edge of the corridor and said in a naughty way, "I'm not going any further. I need to rest."
Qin Yan felt somewhat helpless after hearing what Fu Changling said, but he was also a little dizzy. Seeing Fu Changling sit down, he sat down too.
After the two sat down side by side, Fu Changling looked up at the moon and hummed a song softly.
Qin Yan listened to him and asked calmly, "Are you happy?"
Fu Changling listened to Qin Yan's question and turned his head and said, "I'm happy. Seeing them doing so well, even if it's just getting by, I feel happy."
"As long as you are happy."
Qin Yan responded. Fu Changling listened to Qin Yan's words and turned to look at Qin Yan. Qin Yan saw that he was staring at him for a long time, so he turned back and looked at Fu Changling and said, "Why are you looking at me?"
"Brother," he said gently, "why are you so nice to me?"
"You've been very good to me." Qin Yan said calmly, "I owe you something, and I should repay you."
"Brother, you are so nice to me, aren't you afraid that I will like you?"
Fu Changling turned his head, supported his chin, and looked at Qin Yan. Qin Yan held the wine bag and said calmly: "Qin Yan was not good to you in the previous life, but didn't you like him?"
Hearing this, Fu Changling was stunned. Qin Yan looked up at him and said, "Actually, I never understood." Fu Changling couldn't tell whether he was drunk or sober. He only heard him say, "Why do you like Qin Yan?"
If liking Yan Ming can be said to be a redemptive love in the wind and snow, then where does the love come from since the Demon Lord Sui Yan is the devil who killed his family?
Fu Changling couldn't help but laugh when he heard his question: "If I answer your question, can you answer one of mine?"
"I'm not lying to you."
Fu Changling understood what Qin Yan meant. If it was a question he couldn't answer, he wouldn't reply.
Fu Changling smiled and said, "Then try your best to answer me, okay?"
"good."
Qin Yan nodded.
Fu Changling thought for a moment and said slowly, "Actually, I don't like Qin Yan that much."
He looked up at the sky and said seriously, "I still don't know how much I like Qin Yan. I'm definitely moved. It's rare for someone like him not to be moved. But if I say I like him, I don't know when it started."
"I haven't had many interactions with him. Every time we meet, he's either about to kill me or I'm about to kill him. Countless times, I've seen him crawl out of his blood, then try every possible way to escape. To be honest, don't be angry," Fu Changling raised his eyes and said helplessly, "When I see him covered in blood, fearless of thousands of cultivators with just one sword, I always feel an impulse."
"It's hard to express this impulse," Fu Changling turned his head and said calmly, "but I do think that the most beautiful thing about him is his sword."
"You like him for that?"
"I desire him," Fu Changling recounted calmly, "I've never told anyone about this desire, and I don't dare to think about it. Someone told me that sometimes, the feeling of blood and sex is similar. A cultivator who engages in a hearty battle can actually experience a similar pleasure as sex. I don't know if it's true, but I do feel this way."
"Is this all you have for him?"
Qin Yan spoke calmly, and Fu Changling turned around and chuckled: "Which ones?"
"Desire."
Hearing this, Fu Changling lowered his head and chuckled, as if he was amused: "This may be the easiest thing to say. I don't know how to express other feelings."
"I've had drinks with him several times. Each time, either he didn't know who I was, or I didn't know who he was until I found out later. The only time we drank face to face was at his master's grave."
"I went to kill him."
Fu Changling glanced at Qin Yan, and seeing that he looked normal, he turned around and continued, "I followed him for three months, intending to ambush him, but I discovered that there was no good time to ambush him. He was the same anytime, anywhere. One morning, he suddenly changed his clothes, and that's when I knew it was the perfect time to kill him."
"So I followed him, and after a long walk, I found him in front of a cemetery. He took two cups of wine, and after pouring them, he suddenly told me that no swords would be used in front of his master's grave. He invited me to have a drink. After drinking, we'd go down the mountain and talk about our grudges."
"You drank it."
Qin Yan spoke affirmatively, and Fu Changling smiled: "Yes, I drank that glass of wine with him. I couldn't explain what I felt at the time. When I saw him drinking, I felt that he was actually very sad."
"He and I are both like people who have nothing."
"Then he asked me why I didn't come to the Samsara Bridge since I had made an appointment with him. At that moment, I suddenly didn't want to kill him. At least not that day."
"Later, he died. Before he died, I realized, 'Oh, this person liked me.' I didn't feel anything at the time, but I just couldn't look away. I kept staring at him until nothing was left. I vomited blood when I stood up."
"Once he died, everything was meaningless. I felt that life was meaningless and I didn't know why I was alive. So how can I explain my feelings for Qin Yan, other than lust?"
"Is it like? Is it love?" Fu Changling smiled bitterly. "I can't feel it. But I know that, whether it's me or him, at the end of those thirty years, only this person is left. I have no family, no friends. All those who witnessed my past have disappeared. Everyone only knows Master Huayang, but is that me?"
"Qin Yan is my past," Fu Changling looked at Qin Yan calmly and said calmly, "It's my life. Why should I like him? I don't like him."
He smiled bitterly: "I can't live without him. If he dies, I can't live either."
Qin Yan listened quietly, and Fu Changling sighed: "I know you don't understand..."
"I see."
Qin Yan interrupted him. Fu Changling paused, then smiled bitterly and shook his head: "No, you can't understand."
As he spoke, he sighed, "Qin Yan, if you haven't experienced those thirty years, you will never understand."
Qin Yan was silent, and Fu Changling thought, "It's my turn to ask questions."
"Um."
"This jade pendant," Fu Changling picked up the jade pendant on his waist and raised an eyebrow. "What does it mean?"
Qin Yan's eyes fell on Fu Changling's jade pendant. Fu Changling said, "Qin Yan in my previous life also gave me this jade pendant. He killed my clansmen at that time. At that time, except for the women, children, and the elderly, almost everyone else in the Fu family died in battle at the hands of the demonic cultivators. I should have died, but I was lucky."
Fu Changling said, stroking the jade pendant, "Before he killed me, he placed this jade pendant in my hand. Later, when I entered Hongmeng Heavenly Palace, you also gave me this jade pendant. What exactly does this jade pendant mean?"
Qin Yan drank his wine without saying a word.
Fu Changling raised his eyebrows: "Promise me you will try your best to tell me."
"This jade pendant," Qin Yan said slowly, "was originally yours."
