"Why," Qin Yan paused before asking, "do we need to find Fu Changling first?"
"The seal of the Xuanji Secret Realm is a blood covenant seal," Jiang Yebai explained to Qin Yan earnestly. "If, as you say, they put so much effort into setting up a trap for Fu Changling to break the seal, then Fu Changling's bloodline must be the key to unlocking the seal. As long as Fu Changling survives, they won't let him go. So, you must first find Fu Changling to prevent him from falling into the hands of the evil cultivators. If he can help reinforce the seal, that would be even better. After all, you're not proficient in formations, but he is a genius."
"A genius in formation?"
Qin Yan was somewhat puzzled as to how Jiang Yebai knew all this. Jiang Yebai seemed a little tired. He leaned back on the bed, taking a moment to relax before saying, "The formation you gave me must have been drawn by him. The ink in the seal was mixed with his blood. I'll give you three formations infused with my spiritual power. When the time comes, if Fu Changling is capable, I'll let him operate them."
As he spoke, three scrolls floated in the air. Qin Yan reached out, took them down, and put them into the spirit bag.
Qin Yan glanced at the three scrolls. The formations on them were identical to the ones Fu Changling had given Jiang Yebai. Qin Yan collected the formations and nodded, "I understand."
After Jiang Yebai finished speaking, he felt tired. He closed his eyes and said slowly, "If there is nothing else, please leave as soon as possible."
Qin Yan stood still. Seeing that he didn't leave, Jiang Yebai slowly opened his eyes and saw Qin Yan looking at him. His usually cold eyes hid a bit of unconcealable worry.
Jiang Yebai couldn't help but laugh: "How old are you? Are you still afraid to go out?"
"I'm worried about Master." Qin Yan didn't hide his worry. "Your injuries haven't healed yet. If I leave..."
"Can you stay with me forever?" Jiang Yebai interrupted him helplessly, "I will be alone sooner or later. If something really happens, that's my fate."
"I can."
Qin Yan spoke, and Jiang Yebai was stunned. He listened to Qin Yan calmly and solemnly: "I can stay by your side forever. If anything happens to you, it will only happen to me first."
Jiang Yebai stared at him quietly, his expression changing from one moment to another. After a long moment, he forced his gaze away from Qin Yan. His voice was much colder as he said calmly, "Since Wen Ji said I will be fine, then nothing will happen to me. I will transfer Elder Su and Sang Ganjun over. The most important thing right now is the other three seals. Don't let them get in the way."
After hearing Jiang Yebai's arrangement, Qin Yan thought for a moment, confirmed that it was the best option, and finally made a decision.
"I'll be back as soon as possible."
Qin Yan raised his hand in front of him and said respectfully, "Master, take good care of yourself, stop drinking, stop worrying, and take good care of your injuries. If there is anything, wait for me to come back and discuss it."
Jiang Yebai felt a headache when he heard this, and quickly said, "Okay, okay, go away."
Qin Yan nodded, turned around and walked out of the house. After a few steps, Jiang Yebai suddenly called him: "A Yan."
Qin Yan paused, Jiang Yebai hesitated for a moment, and finally said: "Come here, I have something to give you."
Qin Yan approached with suspicion. Jiang Yebai opened his palm, revealing a beautifully carved wooden box. He opened the box and saw a red gemstone earring perched on the silk.
Qin Yan looked up blankly, and Jiang Yebai smiled: "This is your twelfth birthday present. I brought it back when I went to the East China Sea to pacify the demon tribe that year."
Qin Yan didn't say anything, he remembered this incident.
Before his twelfth birthday, he still lived with Jiang Yebai. That year, Jiang Yebai went to quell the rebellion of the demon tribe in the East China Sea. This was the first time Jiang Yebai had left him on his birthday since he was four years old. He also wanted to go, but Jiang Yebai thought he was too young, so he made him stay in Hongmeng Heavenly Palace.
After returning, Jiang Yebai was seriously injured and went into seclusion. From then on, they gradually became estranged. Jiang Yebai built the Lanyue Palace for him and drove him out of the Wenyue Palace. Qin Yan himself was also aloof by nature, so the distance between master and disciple became even greater.
He never received a birthday present from Jiang Yebai since then, but now he knows that Jiang Yebai prepared a birthday present for him when he was twelve years old.
"Your mother pierced your ears when you were a child," Jiang Yebai said gently. "I felt it was a pity, so I got this demon stone and made an earring for you. This demon stone is also a treasure of the demon clan. If you carry it with you, no matter where you go, I can talk to you and find your location. If you are injured, it can resist some common poisons and heal minor injuries. I also placed three sword intentions in it. If you suffer a fatal injury, it will protect you on its own."
"I thought it was suitable at the time, but unfortunately I was injured and went into seclusion after returning, so I didn't see you." Jiang Yebai looked up at him with a bit of helplessness in his eyes, "Then you grew up, and I felt it was not suitable. It's okay for children to take care of these things, but I'm afraid you don't like it now."
"No."
Qin Yan lowered his eyes after hearing what he said. In Jiang Yebai's surprised eyes, he whispered: "I like whatever Master gives me."
Jiang Yebai stared at him for a long time, then he lowered his head and took off the earrings: "Then I'll put them on for you."
Qin Yan bent down in response, letting his hair fall down and gently caressing Jiang Yebai's face. The unique orchid fragrance lingered in the night wind. Jiang Yebai's face was as calm as water. He put on the earrings for Qin Yan, and then said, "Okay, lift your hair and let me see."
Qin Yan listened to him, lifted her hair, and revealed the red earring.
The moonlight fell on Qin Yan. His whole body was snow-white, and his earlobes were plump like jade. Red gems were adorned on his earlobes, shining brightly in the moonlight and becoming the only bright color.
Jiang Yebai watched quietly without saying a word.
He is very different from when he was twelve.
Qin Yan, who is nearly eighteen years old, has already grown into a graceful figure, as elegant as an angel. His face has lost the delicate and lovely appearance of his youth, but the smooth lines have added a bit of handsomeness, and there is an indescribable beauty in the corners of his eyes.
It was just that his usual cold temperament obscured the softness of his features, leaving him looking cold and detached, like a cold spring or a mountain pine. But the moment he lifted his hair to reveal his earrings, it was a deadly provocation.
Jiang Yebai was silent for too long, Qin Yan felt puzzled, he looked up at Jiang Yebai: "Master?"
Jiang Yebai retracted his gaze, nodded, and said, "Okay, if you have anything, just call me by name."
"yes."
"Let's go." Jiang Yebai lowered his eyes and looked at the quilt, "I'll wait for you to come back."
Qin Yan nodded, saluted Jiang Yebai, and then retreated.
After retreating, he followed the rules of Hongmeng Tiangong and reported his itinerary first, lit his soul lamp in the Disciple Hall of Hongmeng Tiangong, and then took advantage of the night to fly away from Hongmeng Tiangong on his sword.
He flew his sword at an extremely fast speed, but it was also very tiring. Yun Yu, Xie Yuqing and Shangguan Mingyan, who were following closely behind him, had originally planned to take a spirit boat, but when they saw Qin Yan's speed, they had no choice but to fly their swords and follow closely behind him.
Seeing Qin Yan's figure, Yun Yu couldn't help but say, "Even if Senior Brother is rushing to save people, is it really necessary to be so anxious? It's only been two days..."
"Two days is also a lifesaver."
Shangguan Mingyan sighed, "If it's true what Senior Sister said, Senior Brother watched Xiufan fall into the flood. He must be blaming himself right now."
Shangguan Mingyan turned to look at Xie Yuqing and said, "Isn't that right, Senior Sister?"
Xie Yuqing responded, the wind blowing at her temples, outlining the soft lines of the girl's face. Shangguan Mingyan looked at Xie Yuqing quietly, and suddenly said: "Senior Sister, if I were in trouble, would you rush to save me like Senior Brother Qin?"
"I……"
Xie Yuqing had barely opened his mouth when Yun Yu came over and said rather proudly, "No, Senior Sister cultivates the Way of Mercy, and her realm is even higher than Senior Brother Qin's. So, haven't you seen our Senior Sister? No matter what she does, she is always steady and never anxious, right, Senior Sister?"
Yun Yu turned to look at Xie Yuqing. Xie Yuqing was silent for a moment and did not answer. He turned his head and looked into the distance.
Shangguan Mingyan stared blankly at Xie Yuqing's expression. Yunyu looked ahead and said anxiously, "Senior Brother is running too fast. I'll catch up first. Senior Sister, hurry up."
As he spoke, Yun Yu flew forward on his sword, while Xie Yuqing led Shangguan Mingyan and walked steadily.
Shangguan Mingyan stood behind Xie Yuqing. He was only fifteen years old now. Xie Yuqing was tall, and he was a few inches shorter than her. He raised his eyes slightly and looked into Xie Yuqing's eyes. He didn't know why, but he felt a little sad inexplicably.
He pulled at the corner of Xie Yuqing's clothes and suddenly whispered, "I think Senior Sister will come to save me."
Xie Yuqing looked back with a calm expression. Shangguan Mingyan smiled slightly: "I don't understand the meaning of ruthlessness or not. I only know that if one day, anyone in Hongmeng Tiangong is in trouble, Senior Sister will draw her sword like Senior Brother Qin."
Xie Yuqing's expression shifted slightly, as if she wanted to say something. However, after a long moment, she simply lowered her eyes, turned her head away, gazed into the distance, and said calmly, "Hmm."
Qin Yan traveled day and night for seven days before finally reaching Wangu Cliff. After arriving at Wangu Cliff, he first observed the surroundings.
Looking from above, Wangu Cliff is just an ordinary cliff. Both sides of the cliff are bare. There are a few trees growing occasionally, but there is not a single green leaf. Vultures are circling in the sky, and dark ghostly aura is swirling up from the bottom of the cliff. Occasionally, a sound similar to the roar of a wild beast can be heard from the bottom of the cliff. It is impossible to tell what animal it is, but it makes people feel cold.
Qin Yan took a step forward and saw the black air swirling under the cliff. The black air seemed like giant pythons, entwined together and flowing slowly.
This black air, which is so thick that it is almost tangible, is unique to Wangu Cliff. Only in such a dark place with hundreds of thousands of evil spirits can there be such a thick ghost energy.
Qin Yan sensed the situation for a moment and then flew down on his sword.
Yun Yu and the others arrived shortly after. Seeing Qin Yan go down so directly, Yun Yu couldn't help but get anxious: "Why are you in such a hurry? What's the point of being anxious now if you didn't hurry earlier? Senior Sister," Yun Yu turned around and asked anxiously, "What should we do?"
"Let's go."
Xie Yuqing spoke calmly. She flew forward on her sword and saw the thick ghostly aura. She hesitated for a moment, then turned to Shangguan Mingyan and said, "Hold on to me."
Shangguan Mingyan smiled and replied, "Yes."
Xie Yuqing flicked his wide sleeves and formed a barrier to protect Yun Yu and Shangguan Mingyan, then followed Qin Yan down on his sword.
Qin Yan rushed forward alone. He raised his hand and swung his sword with the force of thunder, directly blasting away the black ghost energy.
The Ten Thousand Bone Cliff immediately shook, and evil spirits screamed and rushed from below. Qin Yan raised his hand and grabbed a evil spirit, pinching it between the neck and said coldly: "Eight years ago, a man named Fu Changling came to the Ten Thousand Bone Cliff. Where is he?"
*** ***
When Qin Yan rushed down the Wangu Cliff, Fu Changling was just finishing his day's training.
He roasted a chicken for Tan Xin and filled the skull flowers he had picked yesterday with wine. Tan Xin accompanied him to seal the wine jar and buried it in the soil, then watched him walk to the edge of the stone wall and draw a horizontal line on the wall where a large "正" character was already painted.
Tan Xin propped up her chin and floated in the air, looking at him with a bit of emotion and said, "Don't paint anymore. Look how long you've been painting, and the person you're waiting for hasn't come. He's forgotten you."
Fu Changling picked up a stone from the side and threw it at him, saying dissatisfiedly, "Nonsense."
Tan Xin cleverly dodged Fu Changling's stone, and a look of adult emotion crossed her face. "Don't fool yourself! You've already said this, and this isn't the first time he's lied to you. In your last life, he told you to wait for him, but he never came back. He must have lied to you again."
"I say," Fu Changling was at a loss whether to laugh or cry, "Is there anyone as heartbroken as you? I'm already very sad, can you comfort me?"
"We're all adults," Tan Xin counted on her fingers, "Don't always avoid reality. If he doesn't come, then don't be too sad. Think about it, you're living quite well here. You've learned the Four Heavenly River Styles, which are top-grade sword techniques that you won't be able to touch many times in your life."
"I beg you to stop talking."
Fu Changling made a pleading gesture: "Your words make me so uncomfortable. Please, eat well and sleep well."
Tan Xin curled her lips, went to her own little bed, pulled up the quilt, and said no more.
Fu Changling looked back at the horizontal line on the wall. He looked at it quietly for a moment, turned his head and went back to bed.
This is his eighth year here.
At first he was waiting happily, but as he waited, he didn't know whether he was waiting or had forgotten.
After eight years of life, he had a rough idea of the situation under the Wangu Cliff. The Wangu Cliff was roughly divided into two areas. One was the core of the Cliff, where there was a city called Baiyu City. It was said that all the high-level evil spirits in the Cliff lived in the ghost city, and the strongest among them was the Ghost King Xie Shen.
Outside Baiyu City, there are only lonely ghosts. These lonely ghosts wander around and divide their own territories. Each territory has a ghost master. The territory outside is less than one-fifth of Baiyu City, but there are already more than a dozen ghost masters of all sizes.
Fu Changling is one of the current ghost masters.
He didn't have a golden elixir, and for the past eight years he had been learning swordsmanship from the swordsman. The swordsman wasn't a person, but a wisp of spirit left behind by a senior from the past. She rarely appeared, and almost always conveyed her thoughts through Tan Xin.
His daily life was to learn sword in the morning and practice with the evil spirits in the cliff in the afternoon. He did this for eight years. He walked out of the cliff step by step, and inexplicably carved out a piece of territory and inexplicably became a little ghost master.
The Ghost Lord's life is very busy. Every day he fights for territory with the little ghosts and negotiates with other Ghost Lords. If he hadn't carved a horizontal line on the wall every day, he would almost forget who he is and what he is doing here.
Only when he carved that horizontal line would he remember that he was still here, waiting for someone.
Sometimes he would wonder whether that person would come, and sometimes he would wonder what was happening outside, whether his father was still alive, and whether Yunze had gotten into trouble.
But thinking that the Xuanji Secret Realm had been basically sealed at that time, and with Qin Yan and Jiang Yebai there, he felt much more relieved.
Tan Xin said that he was worrying about nothing and advised him every day that since he had come to Wangu Cliff, he should just forget about Yunze and that it was also good to be a little ghost master here.
Fu Changling had thought about it, but every time he drew that mark every day, he would think of Qin Yan’s last words: wait for him.
This feeling was particularly strong tonight. He didn't know why, but he tossed and turned and couldn't fall asleep. After hesitating for a while, he stood up, put on a mink fur cloak, dug out a jar of wine, then sat down in front of the desk and read a book that was popular in the ghost world.
As he was flipping through the pages, he heard a female voice: "You seem unhappy."
Fu Changling paused, then realized that the senior had arrived. He lowered his head and smiled, seeming a little embarrassed. "It's not that I'm unhappy."
"So what's the matter?"
"Well," Fu Changling thought for a moment and said hesitantly, "You miss someone, right?"
"Someone you like?"
"I don't know." Fu Changling took a sip of wine. "In my previous life, I definitely liked him. Now I don't know if it's because of guilt or because I still like him, but I think I like him more. Even if I don't like him that much now, I still have to like him if I go out with him."
"Have you ever liked anyone, Senior?"
Fu Changling didn't want to talk too much about himself, so he turned to ask the man. The man chuckled, not feeling embarrassed, and said frankly, "I like it, and I still like it now."
"Oh?" Fu Changling said happily, "Is that person still here?"
"When I die, he will still be here."
"How did you two meet?" Fu Changling became interested, and the other party's voice became much gentler. "Our two families are old friends, and we were engaged when we were young."
"That was truly a marriage destined by fate. Did you end up together?"
The other party remained silent. Fu Changling realized that he might have said something wrong and was about to apologize when he heard the other party say, "Let's count them together. We got married in front of the gods of heaven and earth."
Fu Changling pondered for a moment and figured out that this senior and her lover were not married in a formal ceremony.
He was about to say something when he heard a ghost screaming in the distance. Fu Changling's face changed, and Tan Xin opened her eyes and asked hurriedly, "What's wrong?"
"Don't panic."
Fu Changling stood up with his sword in hand. He raised his hand and threw the blanket on Tan Xin, saying calmly, "You go to sleep first. I'll go check on you."
As he spoke, Fu Changling walked out of the cave. As soon as he left, he saw a large group of evil spirits floating in the air. The leader was the one he fought the most, named Zhang Er. When Zhang Er saw him come out, he said anxiously, "Boss, this is bad. Someone is breaking in from outside."
Fu Changling was stunned for a moment, then he felt a huge joy rising in his heart. He asked happily, "Where are they? Who are they? Do you know what they are here for?"
"It landed near Baiyu City," Zhang Er said excitedly. "I heard the Baiyu City guards came out, but I didn't see them either."
"I didn't see you go explore!"
Fu Changling slapped Zhang Er and said anxiously, "Hurry up and find out who is coming and what they are doing!"
Zhang Er was pulled by Fu Changling and nodded repeatedly, then immediately left with his brothers.
After Zhang Er left, Fu Changling calmed himself down.
He couldn't be too anxious, as the person coming might not be Qin Yan. Moreover, even if Qin Yan really came, the guards of Baiyu City came out, and now was definitely not the time for him to be happy.
He thought about it for a moment, then turned back to the cave, took the various magical weapons and elixirs he had collected over the years, and hurried out.
Fu Changling ran wildly towards Baiyu City, while Qin Yan waved his sword and rushed towards Baiyu City.
He had calculated the landing point, far away from the direction of Baiyu City. According to his plan, with his current level, as long as he was far away from Baiyu City, it would not be a problem. But as soon as he landed, he heard a loud noise coming from the edge of Baiyu City in the distance. Along with the loud noise, it was the fluctuation of Xie Yuqing's spiritual power. Qin Yan immediately knew that something was wrong and hurriedly headed towards Baiyu City.
These little ghosts in the distance were no big deal to Qin Yan. He quickly arrived at the gate of Baiyu City. He saw a fierce ghost holding a big knife slashing at Yun Yu. Qin Yan's long sword flew out and directly cut the fierce ghost into pieces. The sword then spun back and landed in his hand. He picked up Yun Yu and said to Xie Yuqing beside him, "Let's go."
Xie Yuqing grabbed Shangguan Mingyan and chased Qin Yan quickly. The guards of Baiyu City hurriedly caught up with them. Qin Yan and Xie Yuqing fought while moving. Shangguan Mingyan and Yunyu stood by to stop the approaching ghosts for them. However, these guards were too strong. Qin Yan and Xie Yuqing were dragging two more people with them. In a short while, they were injured.
The four fought and fled, and were finally surrounded by hundreds of guards.
The guards were all dressed in military armor, holding broadswords, and carrying three colorful flags behind them. But under the armor, there were only two pairs of green eyes, nothing else.
Qin Yan and his three men were back to back, surrounded by the guards. The big swords kept swinging at them. Xie Yuqing and Qin Yan were the main force protecting the two people next to them, struggling to withstand wave after wave of attacks.
Amidst the fierce battle, Fu Changling led Tan Xin and hundreds of little ghosts and quietly came to the battlefield. He hid behind the rocks, and together with Tan Xin, he poked out his eyes and looked at the people in the crowd.
"I can't see clearly."
Tan Xin spoke decisively, but Fu Changling didn't say anything. He vaguely saw a white robe among the swaying figures.
His heart began to beat faster.
Eight years.
He waited for eight years.
"Senior Brother!" Yun Yu shouted anxiously, "Ming Yan is dying."
"Shut up."
Shangguan Mingyan growled. Qin Yan moved to the side and let Mingyan walk behind the three of them. The three of them stood shoulder to shoulder, surrounding Shangguan Mingyan. Qin Yan said coldly, "Heal yourself."
The sound was particularly clear amidst the screams of evil spirits. Fu Changling felt his whole body tense just by listening to it.
Countless thoughts surged up in his mind. Tan Xin glanced at him and whispered, "Is this the person you're waiting for?"
"Zhang Er, take your men and surround them."
Fu Changling whispered an order. Zhang Er was stunned for a moment, then said timidly, "Boss, those are the guards from Baiyu City."
"Give each of you brothers one of these. Hold it through the paper and don't touch it."
Fu Changling took out a bunch of pill-sized objects and passed them to Zhang Er through a piece of paper. As soon as Zhang Er touched them, he felt the power of thunder. He trembled with fear and said, "Boss, using this thing in Wangu Cliff... isn't it too much?"
"After I throw the sand bombs, you throw them at the guards. Then follow the others and find the right time to lead them to the Cold Pond Cave."
Fu Changling ignored Zhang Er's panic. He held a pill-sized object in his hand. This object was a blinding bullet commonly used by evil spirits when fighting for territory. When thrown down, ashes and rocks flew everywhere, and nothing could be seen clearly.
Fu Changling stared at Qin Yan's position and looked around.
Qin Yan's arm was cut by the blade. He heard Xie Yuqing groan and knew that Xie Yuqing was injured. He was anxious and thought quickly about how to retreat. He looked around and saw people dancing. Behind a huge rock, a familiar figure pointed at him and sat down in a scattered posture.
Qin Yan was slightly stunned. At that moment, the sharp blade swung down. Yun Yu hurriedly said, "Brother, be careful!"
Qin Yan subconsciously dodged to the side, exposing Xie Yuqing's back. He simply swung his sword forward, directly slicing open the abdomen of the man in front of him, and then shouted, "Run apart!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he quickly flipped forward and rushed towards Fu Changling.
At this moment, Fu Changling threw the sand bomb forward. In an instant, sand and rocks flew everywhere, and there was chaos. Then, hundreds of ghosts screamed and rose up, and countless lightning bolts struck down from above!
Thunder was what these evil spirits feared most. Amidst the chaos, Fu Changling hurried in the direction Qin Yan had come from. Qin Yan couldn't see anything clearly, only feeling a gust of wind chasing him and slashing at him. He turned around and used his sword to block the long knife. The long knife transmitted a tremendous force, instantly knocking Qin Yan away! Fu Changling listened to the sound in the wind and heard Qin Yan groan from above. He pointed his toes and leaped forward, then raised his hand and supported Qin Yan's waist, stopping Qin Yan's backward momentum.
"My little beauty," Fu Changling said with a smile as he helped Qin Yan down to the ground, "Where are you going?"
Qin Yan frowned when he saw the person coming and grabbed Fu Changling's clothes on his chest. Fu Changling was about to laugh at him when he heard him mumble, "Fu Changling."
At the same time, he vomited a mouthful of blood and sprayed it on the ground.
Fu Changling was slightly stunned, then without hesitation, he threw the man onto his back and trotted towards the Cold Pond Cave. As he ran, he selected a suitable medicine from his spirit bag, opened the bottle, and slapped the medicine directly into Qin Yan's mouth with one hand, saying anxiously, "You'll feel a little uncomfortable, just hold on."
Qin Yan was carried on his back, lying on Fu Changling's back, and he was a little dazed.
His previous injury had not been cured, and now he had been traveling non-stop for six days, and was injured again. The moment he saw Fu Changling, he finally couldn't hold on any longer.
He knew that Qin Yan had survived eight years under the Ten Thousand Bone Cliff, and he must have his own way of survival. He didn't really worry about it, but when he leaned on this person's back, he couldn't help but ask, "Fu Changling, are you doing well?"
Fu Changling was slightly stunned. He didn't expect that the first question Qin Yan asked him would be such a worldly one.
He couldn't help but curl the corners of his mouth, but he felt that he was too easy to coax.
It took him eight years to come find him. God knows what Qin Yan has been through. In these eight years, maybe he was watching Jiang Yebai ascend to heaven before he remembered that there was a Fu Changling under the Wangu Cliff.
Fu Changling felt unhappy when he thought about it. He curled his lips and said, "Not good. I almost die every day. I don't have a good day."
Qin Yan lay on his back without saying a word. Fu Changling spoke, then felt that he had gone too far. After hesitating for a moment, he continued, "It's not bad, actually. I met a senior and learned a lot. It can be considered a blessing in disguise..."
"sorry."
Qin Yan spoke in a low voice, and when Fu Changling heard the word "I'm sorry", he was speechless.
He suddenly felt that Qin Yan couldn't say sorry to him.
He said sorry to him, and he felt that there was nothing in the world that he could blame him for.
He forced a smile and said, "Why are you sorry? You came to save me, that's all."
No matter how long it took, he promised to save him, and now he has come, that is enough.
After saying this, Qin Yan didn't respond. Fu Changling looked back and saw that the man had finally fainted. He had held on for so long, just to say sorry.
Fu Changling smiled and looked at Qin Yan from the side. He didn't know why, but he felt that this person who was leaning on his shoulder with his eyes closed was particularly cute.
It was so cute that he couldn't help but have the urge to move over and give her a big kiss on the face.
But this thought was just a thought. He didn't dare to offend Qin Yan like this, so he quickly stopped his impulsive thoughts, turned around, and ran all the way with Qin Yan on his back.
Eight years of training gave him excellent physical strength, and he ran back to Hantan Cave carrying Qin Yan on his back without showing any signs of fatigue.
Tan Xin followed him and drifted back to the Cold Pond Cave, her hands tucked into her sleeves. She said with some disdain, "Look how happy you are! It took me eight years to come to rescue you. Maybe I didn't even intend to rescue you."
"How is that possible?"
Fu Changling first took Qin Yan's pulse to determine the general extent of his injuries. He had learned this from the same doctor, Lao Gui. He had lost his golden elixir and could not use his spiritual power to explore his body's condition, so he learned to take Qin Yan's pulse.
Qin Yan had some internal injuries, but they were nothing serious. He quickly searched for the pills he usually made and fed them to Qin Yan. He turned to Tan Xin and said, "You don't know how chaotic it is outside. He might have been a little busy. Now that he's done, he came back to find me."
"Maybe it's just by chance?"
Tan Xin floated over and took a look around Qin Yan. While Fu Changling was treating Qin Yan's injuries, he suddenly took away Qin Yan's spirit bag. Fu Changling glared at him while feeding Qin Yan medicine: "What are you doing? Give it back!"
"There's something in here that has a very impressive aura," Tan Xin took out four scrolls from the spirit bag and then exclaimed in surprise, "Oh, a cultivation base of the Tribulation Crossing Stage."
Upon hearing this, Fu Changling also sensed something was amiss. He fed Qin Yan some medicine and began preparing gauze to bandage the wound. At the same time, he said to Tan Xin, "What do you mean by 'Crossing Tribulation Period'? Open that thing and let me see it."
Tan Xin floated in front of Fu Changling. Ever since he had been hanging out with Zhang Er for a long time, he no longer liked walking.
"Look."
Tan Xin opened the scroll. Fu Changling was stunned when he saw it. On the scroll was a map of Yunze with three places marked on it, one of which was Wangu Cliff.
He suddenly felt a little uncomfortable.
In fact, although he seems straightforward, he is actually a very sharp-minded person. With just one glance, he realized what Qin Yan was here for.
But he still didn't give up, and said, "Open the other scroll and show it to me."
Tan Xin was puzzled by the change in Fu Changling's expression, but he still opened the three scrolls next to him. The three scrolls next to him showed three formation diagrams. Fu Changling was a master of formations, so he naturally knew what these three diagrams were used for.
The joy just now suddenly disappeared, and sourness slowly came up.
In fact, he should know that it has been eight years. No matter what happened, if Qin Yan wanted to save him, he should have come long ago.
Qin Yan watched him open the teleportation array at the beginning. With Qin Yan's knowledge, he should know that the place shown in the picture of the teleportation array must be an extremely yin place. If he searched all the extremely yin places one by one in eight years, he should have found it.
But he hadn't come for eight years. How could he be here to save him now?
I just came here for something else.
But why not come?
Fu Changling asked himself, and in an instant, countless thoughts flashed through his mind.
Perhaps he knew this was the Cliff of Ten Thousand Bones and was unwilling to take the risk;
Perhaps he felt that searching for each extremely dark place one by one would take too much time, and he had other important things to do;
Perhaps he felt that he should have died long ago. Even if he was not dead, a cultivator with a wasted golden elixir was not worth saving.
No matter what, it’s just three words: it doesn’t matter.
It's just not important.
If it was important, if he was Qin Yan from the previous life, if he cared about him, then he would definitely come back to save him.
In his previous life, Qin Yan did not ask for anything, but came to Wangu Cliff alone to get the flower of rebirth for him.
When Fu Changling thought of this, he didn't know whether to be happy or sad.
He knew he shouldn't complain. After all, Qin Yan had done so much in his previous life, and he was just paying back a debt. But when he realized that Qin Yan wasn't there to save him, he still felt a little bit wronged.
Tan Xin noticed that Fu Changling hadn't spoken for a long time. He floated in front of him, waved his hand and said, "Hey, what's wrong with you?"
Fu Changling was called back to consciousness by Tan Xin. He quickly calmed down and forced a smile, saying, "It's nothing. Put the things away quickly. Tan Xin, I'm telling you, you can't touch other people's things casually. In Yunze, people like you will be beaten to death."
As he spoke, Fu Changling hurried to Qin Yan's side. He looked at the blood on Qin Yan's body, hesitated for a moment, and then picked up Qin Yan and placed him on the soft bed. He prepared clean water, medicine, and cloth strips, and then sat beside Qin Yan, staring at the young man on the bed.
Clearly eight years have passed, but this person is still the same as when we parted, without any change, except that his face has become paler and he looks thinner.
Qin Yan, as a person, has a kind of elegant beauty with the air of a scholar. If he were thinner, his frail frame would make him look a bit sickly and pitiful.
At this moment, he was lying on the bed with his hair scattered around him. His clothes were slightly pulled open because of Fu Changling's previous actions, vaguely revealing his delicate collarbone.
Fu Changling looked at this scene and his hands, which were about to undress him, stopped involuntarily.
His heartbeat couldn't help but quicken a little, and he subconsciously called out, "Qin Yan?"
Qin Yan didn't answer, and unconsciously turned his face to the side, revealing a red earring on his ear. The red color reflected on his skin, making him look less cold and more gorgeous.
Fu Changling's eyes fell on the earring and he couldn't help but be stunned.
Qin Yan has always liked plain colors. When did he learn to wear such brightly colored earrings?
Fu Changling was stunned. Tan Xin floated to his side, looked at Fu Changling, then looked at Qin Yan, and couldn't help but urge him, "Why don't you take it off? Are you going to take care of this injury?"
Fu Changling's face suddenly turned red after being yelled at by Tan Xin.
It was clearly a serious matter, yet he felt a bit uneasy. He felt that it was all Tan Xin's fault, so he stood up angrily, threw Tan Xin out, and slammed the cave door shut.
This set of movements was performed extremely smoothly and fluently. When Tan Xin sat on the bluestone slab at the door, she was completely dazed.
Fu Changling threw Tan Xin away and returned to the bed. Then he found that after Tan Xin left, only Qin Yan and he were left in the room.
The light suddenly exploded beside him. Looking at Qin Yan lying on the bed, Fu Changling's heart beat fast and panicked. His palms were sweating and he felt something was wrong.
It's not like he hasn't had this feeling before.
In the previous life...
Fu Changling took a deep breath, raised his hand and placed it on Qin Yan's belt. He untied the man's belt with trembling hands, while thinking seriously.
Or should we put Tan Xin in?
