The sky was dim, and as the sun lost its light, the blue curtain also became pitch black, with only a few starlights remaining, making the earth seem to blend into a blur of black.
This change, as well as the strong fluctuations coming from the mountain peak where Fang Canglan was located, were like an open flame in the darkness, making the people of Nanze Island feel it very clearly.
On the top of the mountain, the original attic no longer exists and has been turned into ruins. There is also a deep depression on the ground. There are even looming waves of cold air in the surroundings at this moment, spreading in all directions.
On the ground, Fang Canglan sat cross-legged, looking at Su Ming with a happy smile on her face.
Su Ming took a few steps forward and sat in front of Fang Canglan. His eyes fell on the face of the woman in front of him. Vaguely, he felt as if he had returned to the past. It was just the darkness around him that made the memories carry with it.
dust.
"Long time no see." After a while, Su Ming spoke softly.
"It didn't take long." Fang Canglan smiled slightly, tied her hair, and put away the jade bone in her hand.
Su Ming looked at Fang Canglan, the joy in her eyes, and the face of this memory. He suddenly didn't know what to say. In this darkness, on Nanze Island deep under the sea, Su Ming's eyes were
Scenes from that year emerged.
Time passed slowly, as if a long time had passed. The smile on Fang Canglan's face gradually dissipated and turned into calm. She sighed inwardly. She gradually lowered her head and became silent like Su Ming.
"How is Handan City?" Su Ming asked softly.
"No longer." Fang Canglan closed her eyes and murmured.
"Your tribe..."
"Already separated." Fang Canglan opened her eyes and looked at Su Ming's face that she would never forget for twenty years. Twenty years is not long, but it is not short either. In these twenty years, many things happened
Too many things.
The two were silent again. In this darkness, it seemed that they had no common words.
"Zi Yan told me about your experiences in the past few years..." After a while, Su Ming broke the silence.
"Senior Sister Ziyan has paid a lot for me, but I have no way to repay her." Fang Canglan bit her lower lip and spoke softly.
"So you set up the killing tactic just now, in order to kill that person named Yun Lai?" Su Ming looked at the seemingly weak woman in front of him. Just like what he had seen back then, there was a toughness hidden under this weak appearance.
"It's a pity that it has been discarded and can no longer be used." Fang Canglan looked down at her hand, then suddenly raised it. Her crystal eyes fell on Su Ming's face.
"Would it be that if I didn't see other people's magical powers in the past and didn't know your experiences in the past twenty years, we would have more topics to talk about?"
Su Ming opened his mouth and wanted to say something. But in the end he chose silence. The woman in front of him had affection for him back then. It was still there now, but Su Ming didn't know how to accept it. Even in his heart,
My impression of Fang Canglan only stayed at the beginning.
"We met in Hanshan City."
"We entered the Tianhan Sect together."
"Sima Xin's love for me was cut off back then. Thank you for this. You... don't owe me anything." Fang Canglan spoke softly, her gentle voice lingering around her. Just like how she felt, she was weak.
"We are friends." Su Ming listened to Fang Canglan's words and said softly.
"Friends... we are friends." Fang Canglan murmured, and there was a smile on her face again, but that smile was very different from the smile when the two of them recognized each other just now.
This smile is not joyful, but tinged with bitterness.
"I already know the purpose of your coming here..."
"Either take me away, or... leave me alone." Fang Canglan closed her eyes again.
Su Ming was silent.
"Since you won't take me away, why did you come? Wouldn't it be better to let me immerse myself in my own world in my memories? Su Ming... you go!" Fang Canglan still closed her eyes. Her soft words revealed a sense of emotion.
Definitely.
"I can't take you away, but I can kill those who force you to do something you don't want." Su Ming looked at Fang Canglan and spoke in a deep voice.
"No, why don't I want to? You don't want to take me away. I need to choose a way to survive." Fang Canglan's expression was calm, and her words were still so gentle, but there was a kind of sadness in this tenderness, which Su Ming could feel.
Su Ming was silent for a moment, glanced at Fang Canglan complicatedly, stood up silently, and walked away.
He couldn't accept Fang Canglan. It wasn't that the woman wasn't good enough, but Su Ming himself. He didn't want to worry too much about himself. Things like love had been buried in Wushan back then.
, the words and performances of those women made him see through a lot.
"I envy Bai Su back then... I want to know, Su Ming, which woman has been the most unforgettable for you over the years?" Fang Canglan's soft voice came from behind Su Ming.
Su Ming paused, and faces appeared in front of his eyes. Some of these faces were clear, some were blurry, but in the end they all dispersed one by one. There was no one... If there was, maybe it was only when he was a boy, the face was called Bai Ling.
The girl who made Su Ming's heart beat was unforgettable even now.
But, that is the past.
"You are a heartless person... Su Ming..." Fang Canglan seemed to have guessed Su Ming's heart, speaking softly behind him.
"Maybe." Su Ming said silently in his heart. Apart from Bai Ling, the two women who impressed him most deeply were Bai Su and Tianlan Meng.
But Bai Su didn't pick up the way back that Su Ming gave her. Tian Lanmeng lowered her head in the Nine Yin Realm and avoided his gaze in silence, making this profound gradually become ordinary.
Until Su Ming left, Fang Canglan was the only one left on the mountain peak. She sat there silently, opened her eyes, and shed tears, making the world in front of her blurry.
"I can see people's past, but I can't see my own future..."
She murmured softly, with more tears in her bitterness. The figure that had been unforgettable in her heart for twenty years appeared today, and the ending was the same as before, without much change.
"Perhaps forgetting is the best choice." Fang Canglan lowered her head, but the moment she lowered her head, a figure appeared on the mountain peak far away from her.
This was a man wearing a long robe. He had no hair and stood there, his eyes showing bursts of light. His whole person was filled with an evil aura, as if it was fused with the mountain peaks at his feet.
He looked coldly at Fang Canglan and the surrounding ruins and pits, and walked step by step.
His body was like an illusion, and as he walked towards it, the nothingness was distorted until he came ten feet away from Fang Canglan.
"This place is prepared for me, right?" This man was the Yun Lai Zi Yan mentioned. After scanning his surroundings, he looked at the sky where the sun originally existed, and his pupils shrank.
Fang Canglan raised her head and looked at Yun Lai indifferently without saying a word.
"The attic that existed before this place, as well as the formation fluctuations within it, should have caused me to be detained for a while after I was trapped in it." Yun Lai spoke calmly, his eyes falling on the deep pit.
"Then I walked out of the attic and stepped into another formation. This formation can be frozen. Even with my level of cultivation, I would be frozen for a moment." Yun Lai looked a little impressed and walked closer.
step.
"After that, there are ninety-nine sword auras from this mountain, which are so diffuse that I cannot notice the real murderous intention coming from the sky." Yun Lai walked three feet away from Fang Canglan, and his eyes fell on Fang Canglan.
on the body.
"You must have other methods that you will use one after another until you kill me. Yes, it is indeed good! She is indeed the woman I have fallen in love with in Yunlan. She is so scheming and forbearing. But there should also be Zi Yan in this.
It's human planning." Yun Lai suddenly smiled.
"Actually, I don't understand where your hatred for me comes from. If it hadn't been for me, you and that bitch Zi Yan would have ended up very miserable. If it hadn't been for me, we would have become powerful souls now.
And all you have to pay is to become my concubine. This is a deal, so why be resentful? The weak eat the strong, this is the law of heaven. If you want to survive and get the protection of the strong, how can you not make a choice?
And I treat you differently from others. If you don’t want to, I won’t force you. Now that several years have passed, can I force you at all?” Yun Lai shook his head and said slowly.
"Why do you ask knowingly? What you are interested in is my magical power, and I have also seen your memories before and after you met my senior sister and me seemingly by chance.
I have helped you many times in the past few years. Not to mention your intentions and calculations back then, these several times of help are enough to repay your protection." Fang Canglan said calmly.
"It's not enough, I'm not willing to kill you like this, but Zi Yan, that bitch, I have changed my mind, I will take it back... As for you, I can forgive you, but you have no choice, you must become my Yun Lai
My concubine!" Yun Lai's eyes flashed, and he took another step, now less than two feet away from Fang Canglan.
"He has left. You don't have to test and explain here." Fang Canglan had a hint of sarcasm in his eyes.
"In addition, there is no word "necessary" in my case. If Canglan doesn't want to do anything, I would rather die and become your concubine. I don't want to!"
Yun Lai narrowed his eyes, snorted coldly, raised his steps and took another step, approaching Fang Canglan.
But at the moment when he lifted his steps, suddenly, from behind him, a voice that was biting by the wind and extremely indifferent came.
"She said she didn't want to, didn't you hear?"
The moment the sound appeared, Yun Lai turned around suddenly and saw a figure who appeared behind him at an unknown moment. He was wearing a long gown, black hair, and handsome appearance, but his expression was like that of a man in the cold winter.
Yun Lai narrowed his eyes, and the middle-stage cultivation of the barbarian soul circulated throughout his body, causing the void around him to distort on a large scale like tearing apart. He stood there, staring at Su Ming, and suddenly laughed.
"It's rare to meet a strong fellow of my barbarian tribe. Since Your Majesty is so optimistic about me, Yun is being reckless." (To be continued)
