Chapter 218 "You, come find me."...
The streets were bustling with people, while the riverbank was calm.
Under the starry sky, Song Linsheng's words dissipated with the night wind.
Wen Yu stared silently at the bottomless Yuan River before him. Turning back, he instructed Song Linsheng, "Song Linsheng, wait for me here. Don't go anywhere else, and don't even try to find me in the water."
"Xiaoyu..." Song Linsheng raised his sleeves to speak, his eyes filled with worry, "You..."
"Trust me." Wen Yu patted the Qingsu jade ring on Song Linsheng's waist and poured her spiritual power into it. "Wait for me to come back."
Song Linsheng lowered his eyes and looked along Wen Yu's fingertips. The Qingsu jade ring was emitting little blue starlight in the thick night.
"Um."
He believed Xiaoyu.
Wen Yu pulled the corners of her lips together, forcing a smile to reassure Song Linsheng, and then turned around and went into the water.
Song Linsheng hurriedly caught up and stopped at the shore where Wen Yu disappeared, his eyes fixed on the surface of the Yuanshui River.
He believed in Xiaoyu, but he couldn't help but worry...
In the deep waters of the Yuan River, algae and waterweeds intertwine.
Yu Chang's face was frosty, his brows were furrowed, and the dark gold robe he wore made him seem even more taciturn. There was a flickering, unpredictable light in his sharp eyes, and he no longer had the elegance he had in his green silk dress during the day.
After all, he is not a real human woman.
No matter how much he suppressed his aura and hid himself beside Wen Yu with a phantom body, he was not Wen Xing after all, nor was he Wen Yu's sister.
Yu Chang lowered his eyes, watching the water, insects and fish passing through his fingertips. He curled his hands slightly as if trying to grab something, but it was always in vain.
The scene on the street just now flashed before his eyes like a kaleidoscope, forcing him to face some problems that he had been avoiding for a long time.
He recalled that he had been bound under the Yuan River by a magic circle for tens of millions of years, with his magic power restricted and unable to move. At that time, he wanted to find a reason for himself but was powerless.
But now, the magic circle has been broken and the Dingyuan lock has been released, and nothing can suppress his magic power and cultivation anymore.
Whether underwater or on shore, he came and went freely and did what he wanted. It seemed that everything had become different and everything could start over again.
But... why did he feel that this moment was no different from tens of millions of years ago?
I couldn’t find the reason before, and now I can’t find the cause and effect.
Wen Yu...
What on earth is going on...
Yu Chang stared at the water flowing at his fingertips, which seemed to be visible but ultimately invisible.
He thought that if he stayed with her, something would happen.
But the pomegranate flowers have faded and the branches are full of fruits, and he has actually gained nothing in the past few months.
Apart from the fact that he was constantly fighting with... those people, which made him feel uneasy, what frustrated him the most was that Wen Yu never really seemed to take him seriously.
Tonight on the long street, she was laughing and playing with that mortal Song Linsheng, having fun and lighting lanterns, but she didn't think of him for a moment.
Yu Chang clenched his palms, and the vibrating water between his fingers caused the swimming fish to scatter, but no matter how tightly he clenched his hands, he still had empty hands.
What a mortal thinks, does and does is so important.
What about him? What is he?
What does it matter if he changes his face and figure to stay by her side?
Yu Chang frowned and closed his eyes, and couldn't help but sigh softly. Then he dispersed his strength and slowly fell down until he finally curled up in one place.
Just like... a baby in swaddling clothes, seeking the posture that makes him feel most comfortable.
As Yu Chang fell, a huge black shadow emerged from deeper inside.
With its lush branches and leaves and beautiful appearance, it is undoubtedly the spring amaranth.
As if wanting to catch Yu Chang, the leaves of the spring grass stretched out and wrapped around Yu Chang's body, but did not really entangle him.
"Stay away from me." Yu Chang said in a calm voice. Although he couldn't say he was disgusted, he was indeed unhappy.
The leaf shrank, and finally did not dare to cling too tightly, so it could only slowly support Yu Chang across the water.
Yu Chang let out a long sigh, seeming helpless. He slowly opened his eyes and raised his hand to stroke the leaves of the spring amaranth.
Soft, smooth, and slightly cool to the touch like satin.
He had said long ago that he was not spring weed.
"Tell me, what happened to her?"
The leaf seemed to have a spirit and was no longer afraid of Yu Chang. Instead, it wrapped around his fingertips.
But in response to Yu Chang's question, he remained silent and did not answer.
"I forgot that you are just a plant, not a spirit."
Perhaps it had been so long that he had forgotten about it.
To be honest, this spring grass was transformed by her spiritual power and left to him together with Ding Yuansuo. But now when she saw herself, she thought he was spring grass.
The water keeps flowing and the fishes swim through it.
It's the same as it was back then, but it's no longer the same...
Yu Chang's eyes were covered with a thin layer of mist, and he seemed to be in a trance for a moment.
This was once the magic circle that sealed him, and it was the place he most wanted to escape from.
But why... why do you run here whenever something happens...
Yu Chang covered his face with one hand, hiding most of his features. After a long silence, he finally just shook his head.
He looked up and saw that under the moonlight, the Yuan River seemed to have strands of silver light penetrating the surface of the water and flowing deep into the water.
The sun and the moon rotate, the mountains and rivers shift, so how can the world remain unchanged?
Even if he is a demon, it is no exception.
Yu Chang closed his eyes, his heart sank, and then he could no longer suppress the cultivation that had been suppressed for thousands of years and the emotions that had been hidden for a long time.
Suddenly, an undercurrent surged around, and it became more and more turbulent as Yu Chang released more magic power.
Wen Yu went all the way down, following the location of the spring grass in his memory.
Yu Chang had neither relatives nor a master, and she couldn't think of where else he could go except the spring amaranth she had seen before.
The further down you go, the darker it becomes, as if there is an invisible obstruction blocking the moonlight, making it impossible to see the way forward.
Wen Yu grabbed the Qingsu jade ring from his waist and moved forward using its flickering blue-green light.
It's strange, there seems to be something below that scares Qingsu, otherwise it wouldn't be shaking like this.
Wen Yu frowned, and had a guess in his mind.
Is it Yu Chang?
After all, it is not surprising that Qing Su reacted like this in the face of such powerful demonic power.
"Yu Chang?" Wen Yu walked down the stairs, occasionally calling out, "Yu Chang—"
The waves were changing and the water was surging. Suddenly, a rapid current emerged from the bottom of the originally calm Yuanshui River.
Wen Yu saw the branches and leaves of the spring grass swaying, and there seemed to be a shadowy figure behind it, but just as she was about to move forward to check, she was blocked by the rapids in front of her.
Yu Chang, what are you doing?
The surrounding water flow became increasingly turbulent, and even quite violent whirlpools appeared in several places.
But when she looked up, the surface of the water above was still peaceful and undisturbed.
Is this Yu Chang's true strength? Or even one tenth or one twelfth of it?
What on earth was wrong with him? He couldn't have locked himself under the Yuan River just to splash around for fun.
Wen Yu pinched his fingers together to steady his body so that he would not be disturbed.
But she could only try not to be affected.
Although she followed her master to practice, she did not have her own magical instrument.
In this situation, she couldn't break the barrier created by the rapids with one sword.
Wen Yu frowned, and as he thought about it, he immediately wanted to rely on all his cultivation to force his way through.
Could it be possible that this small torrent could really hurt her?
Wen Yu clasped his hands together, silently praying for Master's blessing and Chi Huang's help, and then he was ready to rush forward.
But she drove the water to cut a path for herself, and she had not taken three or two steps forward when she hit something directly.
It was as hard and solid as Mount Tai, causing Wen Yu to feel dizzy and as if the stars and the moon were shifting.
"You..." The man seemed panicked and paused for a moment before asking, "Are you not hurt?"
Although it was hurried, if one listened carefully, it was not difficult to hear the worry and concern in it.
But Wen Yu covered her nose with her hands and closed her eyes, she was so frightened that she didn't care about anything else.
Suddenly hearing this voice, she opened her eyes immediately, looked at the familiar face in front of her, and hurriedly called out, "Yu Chang!"
As she spoke, Wen Yu lowered her eyes and looked at Yu Chang who had one hand around her waist to help her steady her body.
The huge waves and chaotic whirlpools that were originally surging and rolling behind him disappeared in an instant, as if they had never existed.
Wen Yu was startled and suspicious, but she became even more certain that all this was caused by Yu Chang. She immediately clasped her hands around Yu Chang's elbows and asked, "Yu Chang, what are you doing here?"
Yu Chang's eyes flickered, and under the reflection of the ripples, the expression in his eyes became increasingly unclear.
His dazzling eyes were fixed on Wen Yu's face, but she only asked him what he was doing here when she opened and closed her lips.
Yu Chang was silent for a moment, and immediately wanted to withdraw his hand.
He thought that Wen Yu came to find him because she was worried about him.
Don't ask why he is here, but ask what he is doing here...
But in the end, he still held Wen Yu tightly, fearing that she would be injured by the remaining magic power after the turbulent water flow, and then replied in a deep voice: "Nothing."
Wen Yu tilted her head and glanced at Yu Chang in disbelief, trying to find some flaws between his sharp brows.
"Nothing?" Wen Yu slapped Yu Chang's chest and said angrily, "If you have nothing to do, why are you hiding here, making it easier for me to find you?"
Although she is a fairy, she is not an aquatic fairy. She cannot be compared with a big fairy like Yu Chang who can control water and use water as a medium for cultivation.
She put in a lot of effort during the time she was underwater.
But although Wen Yu said this, she didn't really mean to blame Yu Chang in her heart. She was even a little relieved that nothing happened.
Yu Chang felt Wen Yu's palm passing across his chest, and he shrugged slightly involuntarily, and then asked him to try his best to stop.
He looked down with a puzzled look, and as Wen Yu finished speaking, a glimmer of light slowly appeared in his eyes.
"You, come find me."
Yu Chang turned his head and stared closely at Wen Yu's eyes, as if he was eager to confirm something on her.
Originally, he just felt upset and inexplicably distressed. He lost his direction and clue for a while and wanted to calm down under the Yuan River.
But if Wen Yu came to see him...
Does it mean that she knows what he is thinking? What is worrying him?
Yu Chang's mind moved slightly, and even the hand on Wen Yu's waist tightened a little.
"yes!"
Wen Yu answered calmly without hiding anything, then she remembered something and continued.
"Why were you hiding from those yamen runners and Sister Shen Chuo when they came looking for you?"
Without asking any more questions, Wen Yu knew that it was Yu Chang himself who isolated people outside, otherwise how could so many people really not find his whereabouts.
Does he know that in the eyes of everyone he is still just an ordinary person, her elder sister Wen Xing?
How am I going to explain to others if I go back and act like this?
Yu Chang's brows, which had finally relaxed, furrowed again at Wen Yu's words. He did not answer, but instead asked in a deep voice:
"Who is that?"
