"Have you really decided? Sister Yan." In the corridor, He Zhan stood one step away from Tong Yan, looking at her with a reluctance that could no longer be hidden in her eyes.
"Senior Brother Shen and the others are obviously more trustworthy, why do you have to choose to go with him?" He Zhan didn't know why someone who was still hesitating after a night suddenly decided to go with Gu Yuqi. What made her make up her mind.
"I have my own considerations." Tong Yan cast his gaze into the distance and frowned slightly, not wanting to continue talking to him. "You follow Su Mu well, and you can re-enter the sect after you recover..."
Before she could finish speaking, He Zhan interrupted, "I'm not going! I want to follow you."
"No." Tong Yan vetoed it. She looked at him and said with seriousness and at the same time, "There is no benefit in following me. A Zhan, your current situation is not suitable for running around. Wait for a few years to calm down." , I will go find you."
After a few years? Isn’t it suitable to follow her around?
He Zhan looked at Tong Yan in silence for a long time, then suddenly let out a self-deprecating snort in his throat, "Which time did you not say that."
He was left in the sect again and again, and each time he met again it was a few years later. After so many years of growing up, how long did they spend together?
One or two years is less than one-tenth of his life.
His voice was hard, and there was indescribable sadness in his eyes as he stared at her, "Sister Yan, am I really just a burden to you?"
That's why you are abandoned and ignored, and it also makes you worried and hurt.
The word "burden" in He Zhan's mouth made Tong Yan stunned. She had never thought about it in this direction, "Why do you think so?!"
He Zhan moved his lips and pulled them dejectedly, "The fact is that I am useless. I can't help you every time, and I will get you injured. I am nothing if not useless. If I could be a little more useful, I wouldn't be like now. You leave it."
Hearing these words, Tong Yan felt very angry. The injury was not his fault, let alone blamed on him. Besides, how could he start talking about it if he was left behind? He Zhan was clearly overstepping the mark.
"I'm not abandoning you. I'm just considering safety. It's better for you to follow Su Mu and the others. I can't blame you for getting hurt. Don't think too much."
At some point, Gu Yuqi's figure appeared at the other end of the corridor. He did not walk in, but silently leaned on the railing behind him, looking in this direction.
After Tong Yan found him, she glanced at him and took it back, and continued to educate He Zhan. She felt that she had neglected He Zhan's mental health too much, so that he always thought negatively about some things.
He Zhan followed Tong Yan's gaze and looked over. Unlike her hurried look, he looked at her for a long time and even looked at her.
After Tong Yan looked away, she saw him gently curling the corners of his lips towards her, his posture full of showoff and provocation.
He Zhan tightened his fists in his sleeves and patiently withdrew his gaze to Tong Yan's shoulders.
After a while, Tong Yan intervened in his persuasion by analyzing the pros and cons, "I don't have to follow you to drag you down, I'm just worried about your safety. Judging from the attack on the inn last time, Gu Yuqi can't absolutely guarantee you. Moreover, there have been rumors about him being possessed by demons for many years, and he has enemies all over the place. If you are involved with him, it will only be more dangerous."
He looked at Tong Yan's expression and continued: "That's right, since we came here, we have not been subject to any undue intrusion. As long as we don't take the initiative to expose ourselves, no one can discover us.
If that's the case, then why were those people able to find us easily at the last inn, and why did they gather dozens of people to quietly surround us."
He has the ability to block the news. Why couldn't he do it last time? It was because he lacked strength or he did it on purpose.
"Sister Yan, can you ensure that he is completely trustworthy and that he has no plans to use you?"
While Tong Yan was speechless, He Zhan caught a glimpse of the person opposite him striding towards him.
"You might as well ask him what happened at the inn last time."
After saying that, he raised his head and met Gu Yuqi's gaze, which was sharp and showed undisguised murderous intent.
This time He Zhan smiled and returned the provocation exactly as he had just received, sarcastically saying that he was no different from himself.
How could a person who is in darkness and full of conspiracies act openly and aboveboard? He is used to calculating first even for those he cares about.
He Zhan left before Gu Yuqi arrived. He had no need to stay. He saw with his own eyes how embarrassed Gu Yuqi was, and he couldn't let Tong Yan change his decision. There was no point in watching it.
Tong Yan put her arms on the railing, folding her hands for a while, and then changing their movements, which showed that her thoughts were not calm.
The inn I stayed at last time was not particularly far from here, and it was also within the hinterland of the Demon Sect.
Gu Yuqi observed her frowning expression and said tentatively, "You guys, it's settled."
"Didn't you hear that?"
He would suddenly come over, not because he heard He Zhan's last words.
Tong Yan's words made him unable to continue pretending. The two inns before and after him, one is like a broken sieve, and the other is like a sealed clay pot. The former one can hide nothing, and the latter one can't let anything out. Such a big difference.
, itself is a contradiction.
Gu Yuqi didn't have a set of words that were not perfect, but at least highly feasible, but he didn't want to lie to her.
She has already guessed the clues, and if she tries to deceive her again, she will only make people anxious.
Explanation is the same as actively telling her the dirty secrets he hides, and not saying anything is acknowledging that he has done some actions that are not good for her before.
At this moment, Gu Yuqi chose to remain silent.
Dark clouds are approaching in the sky, the branches in the courtyard are swaying, a cool breeze is blowing in, and the fallen leaves on the ground are scratching the ground with a soft swishing sound.
A heavy rain is coming.
After understanding Gu Yuqi's silence, Tong Yan remained silent for a long time. After trying hard to calm down the anger of being deceived, he was left with a depressed feeling in his heart.
She sighed.
"Sometimes, you make me feel terrible."
Before, he was like a sick paranoid, and to the extreme, she just wanted to hide away. Now she found out that he had quietly plotted against her, and she felt that he was actually a cold conspirator.
Being able to use tricks on everyone around her, she simply can't control such a sophisticated person.
In the past, she thought he was difficult to understand, but now she understands that there is a big difference in their outlook and cognition.
Or maybe this shouldn't be blamed on any of them. Their respective growth backgrounds, environments and experiences are completely different, and their naturally formed three views are also different.
Gu Yuqi straightened his back, lowered his eyes, and stared at the ground without saying a word.
"Aren't you going to tell me about what happened at the inn last time?" Tong Yan didn't know what was being planned or used by him. It was only after listening to He Zhan's words that he discovered something was wrong.
She was not smart enough to guess the original appearance, so she could only directly ask Yuqi directly.
Hearing this, he raised his eyes to look at her, then quickly looked away from hers, "I'm afraid you'll be angry."
Tong Yan almost laughed out of anger, "You dare to do it but don't dare to say it?"
Gu Yuqi's mouth was calm, and he suddenly stretched out his hand towards her, "Hold me, I can tell you whatever you want to ask."
He looked at her with eyes that were eager and focused. Tong Yan couldn't understand the hidden emotions in them. He was full of sincerity and seemed to hide a few different kinds of prayers.
Looking at him suspiciously for a moment, Gu Yuqi still stubbornly kept extending his hand.
Convincing herself with curiosity, Tong Yan finally slowly extended her arms. As soon as her fingertips touched his, he quickly grabbed her with his backhand. She was so shocked that she subconsciously twitched back, unable to move even half an inch. It was obvious that he
How much effort was used.
The fingers squeezed into the palm of his hand still felt a slight squeezing pain.
Holding what he wanted, Gu Yuqi slightly raised the corners of his mouth and smiled. Tong Yan's current state made him unable to feel at ease, even if he held her.
But this would at least ensure that she couldn't turn around and leave angrily immediately.
Are they confronting each other, holding hands and talking, it's very strange.
"Why do you have to hold on and talk about it?"
"I want you to listen to what I'm saying instead of running away halfway."
After knowing this reason, Tong Yan was speechless for a moment. He resisted the urge to roll his eyes and urged: "You can tell me now."
Gu Yuqi looked at her and nodded slightly, "I didn't do anything last time at the inn."
The lackluster sentence made Tong Yan frown in confusion and think, "A few meanings, please explain clearly."
Nothing was done, nothing was done.
There was nothing visible on Gu Yuqi's face, but he held Tong Yan's hand a little tighter. He was nervous now.
"I didn't hide your traces, and I didn't leave any means of protection. And I didn't go far when the inn was besieged."
That is to say, from the beginning to the end, he took all dangers in his eyes, but deliberately allowed them to develop. In the end, He Zhan was even more injured than before, watching as He Zhan blocked a knife.
