"This is called Tic-Tac-toe." Lin Tongxi introduced the rules of Tic-Tac-toe to Su Ruoxue.
The two of them played chess on paper. The rules were very simple, and Su Ruoxue was very talented, so she learned it in no time.
"Hehe! I won again!" Su Ruoxue connected the three chess pieces in a line again and won the game.
Lin Tongxi, on the other hand, quietly let him go, just like coaxing a child.
Anyway, what the other party wants is happiness, so you don’t have to care too much about winning or losing, just treat it as killing time.
On the other side, Chen Yunxuan was concentrating on meditation, comprehending the great principles of heaven and earth.
Recently he often dreamed of being expelled from the academy.
That was the place where he was raised, and now he can never go back.
He clearly didn't do anything, so why was he falsely accused of colluding with foreign races?
The only time that could be considered related was when he was ordered by the elders to go to Jinkang County to aid the people.
It was also during that time that he came into contact with the local White Tiger Barbarians.
But they were just acquaintances, and they just helped distribute porridge to the people together.
That was the only connection between him and the White Tiger Barbarians, but for some reason, several elders joined forces to report him.
He clearly didn't do it, but the evidence was so sufficient that it seemed as if he had really done it.
No matter how much Chen Yunxuan defended himself, under pressure from the elders, the headmaster finally chose to expel him from the academy.
“…”
Chen Yunxuan's breathing became disordered again and he opened his eyes again.
Whenever he closed his eyes, he would think of what happened that day.
What did I do wrong?
Chen Yunxuan didn't know. He came to the orchid and pulled the Qinglan sword out of its sheath.
He closed his eyes and felt the Qinglan Sword against his throat.
Just a gentle cut and all your worries will be over.
"Oh my god, this feeling comes again..." Lin Tongxi suddenly felt palpitations, and those hands seemed to want to crush his heart again.
"Lin Tongxi, what's wrong with you?" Su Ruoxue asked.
Lin Tongxi didn't know either, but this was definitely related to Chen Yunxuan.
He had felt this way several times recently.
The first time he had this feeling was when Chen Yunxuan was about to die, but at that time the system reminded him that he must save Chen Yunxuan quickly.
But now, there was neither Chen Yunxuan asking for help nor any system reminder.
What is going on?
Smelling the refreshing fragrance of the Qinglan Sword, which was refreshing to the heart, Chen Yunxuan gripped the hilt of the sword tightly, ready to end his own life.
Two years ago, in a courtyard somewhere in Chengtian Academy.
"Yunxuan, Master asks you, what is life and death?" An elder in a white Taoist robe looked at him.
"The beginning of life is called birth, and the end of life is called death."
"Yunxuan, you are referring to the death of the body. Then let me ask you, what is the death of the heart?"
"..." Chen Yunxuan thought for a while, "Master, I don't know."
The elder stood up and asked Chen Yunxuan to follow him for a walk in the yard.
“Everyone has his own path, and the road to understanding the great way is never smooth.”
“Some people die on the road, but with a smile on their face.”
“Some people achieve worldly success, but then they lose their smile and keep running down the wrong path.”
"The former is the death of the body, the latter is the death of the heart."
“The death of the body is inevitable for everyone; even the First Emperor could not avoid it.”
“The death of the heart of Tao is not like this.”
"Some are mortal, while others are immortal."
"One day, Master will die, you will die, and everyone will die."
"Of course, there are also some people who always live in people's hearts, never die, and are respected by all people."
"For example, Emperor Wu of the current dynasty faced numerous life-or-death crises, yet he never changed his resolve and remained steadfast in moving forward."
“This is what it means when the body dies but the Tao lives on.”
"Yunxuan, which one are you?"
“…”
Chen Yunxuan thought of the past and finally put down the Qinglan Sword.
He opened the window and looked at the white moon again.
"Sigh... I wonder how Junior Sister Xingyao is doing." Chen Yunxuan was in a bad mood. Shen Xingyao was the only person he cared about in this world.
As orphans, they accompanied each other. He only blamed himself for not cherishing the days with her.
Was the last time we met the last one?
But no matter what, at least we have to survive first, otherwise it will really be the last time we see each other.
Finally, Lin Tongxi felt that the hands had let him go again and he no longer felt uncomfortable.
"It's okay, don't worry." The feeling only lasted for a few seconds, but it came back a few times every now and then.
This was too much torture, Lin Tongxi couldn't stand it.
If it happens while eating, sleeping, or even during a life-and-death duel, then everything will be over.
Lin Tongxi had to find out the reason for his discomfort, and he guessed that there was probably something wrong with Chen Yunxuan!
The two came to Chen Yunxuan's room and knocked on the door.
No matter how they spoke, Chen Yunxuan still did not open the door and urged them to go back and rest: "You two, it's getting late, you should rest."
Seeing this, Su Ruoxue also echoed Lin Tongxi: "Young Master Chenxuan, we just learned a few new games, they are quite fun, we want you to play with us."
"I appreciate your kindness. But it's late at night and I need to rest." Chen Yunxuan still insisted.
Damn! Can't this guy just open the door?
Lin Tongxi cursed in his heart and wanted to kick the damn door open, but gave up and turned away.
"Hey, Lin Tongxi! Why did you run away? Are you angry?" Su Ruoxue also followed Lin Tongxi away.
Lin Tongxi sighed and said helplessly: "I'm not angry, it's just that he refused to open the door. I feel that it's useless to look for him. It's better to leave him alone."
