The lotus leaves are fresh green with crystal-like oval water droplets on them. The lotus flowers are pink and translucent white, looking beautiful yet fragile, with a light pink stamen.

Shen Yingxue got closer and smelled the elegant fragrance. He reached out and plucked a round lotus leaf, "You smell so good."

Gu Liansheng's hand was gently held by Shen Yingxue, and he dared not move.

After knowing each other for so long, this was the first time Shen Yingxue had made such an intimate gesture. Gu Liansheng was flattered, and his eyes were full of pity when he looked at Shen Yingxue.

In the past, he and Shen Yingxue were close friends and had never made their feelings clear to each other. Gu Liansheng was burdened with heavy thoughts, and whenever Shen Yingxue approached him, he would deliberately dodge and distance himself from him.

Now Shen Yingxue was right in front of him, holding his hand, her eyes full of love and joy.

He also left the Demon Sect behind. He no longer had to deal with sect affairs or meet subordinates every day, nor did he have to worry about his martial arts stagnating. He looked very relaxed, more relaxed than ever before. Gu Liansheng smiled knowingly, "Didn't you sleep well last night? You can hardly keep your eyes open."

Shen Yingxue was well prepared and was not frightened by a flower speaking human words. It was just that the scene seemed too incongruous. Shen Yingxue couldn't help laughing as she looked at him, trying to find where his mouth was.

As for Gu Liansheng's question... He was staying up late to watch anime, so there was no way to answer this question. Shen Yingxue pretended not to hear it skillfully and happily picked at the flowers, "Come here and let me smell it."

Xun Yan watched coldly as Gu Liansheng leaned towards him with the help of Shen Yingxue's force. The two of them were getting closer and closer, and had already exceeded the safe range.

A light bulb went off in his head, and he suddenly seemed to understand what was going on with the strange atmosphere when Gu Liansheng met Shen Yingxue yesterday.

But they are obviously all men.

The leader hadn't given any hints to Gu Liansheng, what was wrong with this Gu Liansheng? He had long felt that this person had evil intentions, and now it seemed that this hypocritical gentleman of the righteous path not only wanted to eradicate their sect, but also wanted to seduce their leader?

That definitely won’t work!

Seeing that the two of them were about to face each other, Xun Yan said coldly: "If he is still awake, he must have hated you a long time ago."

Gu Liansheng paused.

Xun Yan disliked him very much. It was as if he had discovered a greedy pig, waiting for an opportunity to gnaw at the roses he had carefully nurtured.

"You should know very well what the Demon Cult means to its leader." Xun Yan's words were like a knife stabbing into Gu Liansheng's heart.

Shen Yingxue is the leader of the Demon Cult, but to him, the Demon Cult is more than just a sect.

That was his home, where he grew up.

Before Gu Liansheng went undercover in the Demon Cult, he inquired about Shen Yingxue.

He was an abandoned child picked up by the previous leader. There were very few women in the cult, and only a group of gloomy and cruel high-ranking members of the cult accompanied him.

Shen Yingxue's childhood was certainly different from that of ordinary children. Apart from simple reading and writing, all he had to do was practice martial arts and kill people.

Shen Yingxue had a high talent for martial arts and made rapid progress. At the age of thirteen, he had already become a top-notch master, and no one in the Demon Cult could rival him. Of course, he did not suddenly become the best in the world, he had always had talent, and the Demon Cult elders who watched him grow up knew this even better.

There was no need to encourage martial arts, so they spent more energy on shaping Shen Yingxue's character.

Under their careful teaching, Shen Yingxue has a tough character, cruel methods, and no mercy for the weak. But he really regards the Demon Cult as his own home. The high-ranking members of the Demon Cult are all his relatives and elders. His loyalty to the Demon Cult is unmatched.

So now he's crazy.

Gu Liansheng's betrayal was tantamount to the destruction of the entire family for Shen Yingxue. With such deep hatred, how could they love each other?

"Why did you avoid me?" Shen Yingxue blinked and said innocently, "You don't like being touched, so I won't get close to you."

No, it's not like that. Gu Liansheng answered him silently in his heart, but he couldn't speak.

Shen Yingxue's eyes seemed to dim a lot, which made Gu Liansheng feel even more heavy-hearted.

Why is reality so cruel! At this moment, Shen Yingxue no longer remembers anything. He desperately wants to be by his side, but Gu Liansheng can only refuse.

"You shouldn't have come here." Xun Yan said coldly: "Since you chose to betray us, why did you come back? If you can't stand us, the remnants of the evil sect, just do it, why pretend!"

Gu Liansheng's appearance yesterday was sudden, and Xun Yan was not in a state of consciousness. He noticed that there was no murderous aura in him, so he let him in.

Now it seems that Gu Liansheng really does not come here for no reason. Just like when he went to Shattered Shadow Mountain to join the Demon Cult, he came here this time with a disgusting purpose.

Xun Yan looked at Shen Yingxue who was watching them outside.

The leader doesn’t understand anything now.

Fortunately, he knew nothing and could not understand Gu Liansheng's words and actions at all. Otherwise, according to the leader's temperament, he might really be deceived by his sweet words and flattery, just like he did back then.

Xun Yan strode over and stood in front of Shen Yingxue, blocking Gu Liansheng's line of sight. "The leader has lost all his martial arts. I want to protect him, but there is no way I can beat you. If you want to kill him, just kill him. Why humiliate him like this! Are you bullying me because there is no one left in the Demon Sect?"

Gu Liansheng was stunned by him.

He thought blankly, it was just a mutual affection, how could it be bullying?

"I didn't... I really meant it..."

"Since you are sincere, you should understand what to do to be good to the leader. If you are sincere, please stay away from him and let him live a few more years of peace." Xun Yan said, and he felt uncomfortable in his heart.

Shen Yingxue was seriously injured that year and died several times. He stayed by her side, thinking with despair that if the leader died, he would die with him.

Shen Yingxue survived, but she was also injured.

A man with extraordinary martial arts skills was drugged and suddenly lost all his internal strength. His dantian was broken and his wrist bones were shattered. These injuries were more serious than those suffered by an ordinary person.

When Shen Yingxue was about to die, the internal energy in his body was surging uncontrollably. He didn't even have the strength to curl up. He lay quietly on the grass, bleeding from all his seven organs.

Until now, Shen Yingxue is still taking medicine continuously. The doctor said that even if he recovers well, his life span will be shortened. It would be good if he can live for seven or eight years.

Can't we let the leader spend his last days in peace and quiet?

Xun Yan pulled Shen Yingxue and said, "Let's go back to the house."

Shen Yingxue was dragged away by him in a daze: "But we haven't finished talking yet, it's rude to treat guests like this..."

Xun Yan's voice seemed much softer: "Don't worry, he's leaving now."

guest.

Gu Liansheng suddenly wanted to laugh.

Shen Yingxue actually called him guest!

Gu Liansheng stood where he was and saw Shen Yingxue turn her head. Their eyes met, and in a trance he seemed to see hatred and resentment in Shen Yingxue's eyes.

Shen Yingxue had a sharp beauty, which was very suitable to be intertwined with such strong negative emotions. Gu Liansheng actually felt that he was more attractive like this. There seemed to be hooks in his eyes, firmly hooking Gu Liansheng's heart.

The door slammed shut, and Gu Liansheng could no longer see him.

He stood beside the chicken coop and shouted loudly: "Shen Yingxue!"

When Shen Yingxue heard someone calling him, she wanted to go over and take a look, but Xun Yan grabbed her and said, "Can I take you to the town for breakfast?"

Shen Yingxue focused his attention on Xun Yan again. With the Mosaic system, it was always difficult for him to concentrate on one thing, and his memory faded quickly. "I want to eat meat."

Xun Yan smiled and said, "Okay."

The man outside was still saying, "I've made a mistake once, and I don't want to make the same mistake again. If you encounter difficulties, you can come to Bafang Sect to find me, and I...I will do my best to help you."

Xun Yan knew that these words were spoken to him, so he went to the cupboard and took out his purse as if nothing had happened, and then took out Shen Yingxue's hat and put it on his head.

Shen Yingxue asked: "When are we leaving? I'm hungry."

"We'll go after Gu Liansheng leaves." Xun Yan said calmly while tying the belt for him.

Shen Yingxue felt like he had forgotten something. He looked outside and saw that the lotus had disappeared. Instead, there was a man in black standing upright with a knife in his hand.

The man in black looked at him with a deep gaze, as if with deep attachment. Shen Yingxue could feel the burning heat in his eyes.

He looked away uncomfortably, thinking that he might have unintentionally done something to offend the man in black.

"Okay." Xun Yan turned around and took out a dagger and hid it in his clothes. After covering it up carefully, he took Shen Yingxue out.

Shen Yingxue then realized that she had been in a daze for a while and the man in black had already left.

"Who is that man?" he asked.

"A person of no consequence."

Gu Liansheng, who had walked around the back of the house and was about to take one last look at Shen Yingxue, clenched his hands when he heard their words, and the knife in his hand shook slightly due to the huge force.

It was obvious that Shen Yingxue was as happy as a child when she saw him just now, but she forgot about him the moment she turned around.

Gu Liansheng knew that Shen Yingxue was crazy, but he didn't know to what extent. Only then did he clearly realize that this was what a madman was like.

He took a deep breath.

This is no longer the Shen Yingxue of the past. He will not be sad because of the casualties of the Demon Sect, nor will he be in pain because of leaving his hometown. For him, all worries are unnecessary.

One moment he was thinking about Lian Sheng, but the next moment he forgot about it.

There was no trouble in his heart.

Because he is a madman, and Gu Liansheng is just an irrelevant person.

"I will stay away from you. If nothing unexpected happens, I will never come to see you again. It's a pity that I can't repay what I owe you." Gu Liansheng looked at Shen Yingxue's receding back and said goodbye to him in a low voice, "Yingxue, take care."

"I'm in a bit of pain."

Xun Yan stopped and looked at Shen Yingxue worriedly, "Where does it hurt?"

Shen Yingxue pointed to his abdomen. He had been badly injured there before and had been in pain for a long time. Now there were two terrible scars left. Occasionally, if he moved too much, he would feel a tearing pain.

Xun Yan knew that his injury was not serious. Seeing Shen Yingxue acting like a child, he suppressed his anger like a protective parent and comforted him in a calm voice, "Everyone who hurts you will pay the price."
